Chapter 1127 What a Broken Rule
It is very obvious that Lucia Thompson is a female defender. Han Li is very interested in this kind of thing because all of this can be recorded in the information he submits when he returns to China.

These seemingly insignificant information are of no use in Han Li's hands, but in the hands of the country's advisers, secretaries, and wise men, they may be able to play a great role someday.

Therefore, Han Li was not only very indignant about this matter, but also gave Lucia Thompson verbal support.

When the two of them had almost finished their chat, Han Li said that he would also help collect some materials in this regard, and asked the other party to mail him a copy of the materials that were not related to her thesis when she had time, as he wanted to contribute to this matter.

Regardless of which country they are from, the majority of people talk without restraint and are more casual after drinking. In addition, they all want to show off their connections and sources of information in front of new friends.

Han Li heard a lot of stories at the dance, most of which were things he could not find in newspapers or magazines.

In short, tonight's dance party was a success. It not only broadened Han Li's horizons, but also allowed him to hear a lot of news that others could not get to know.

After the dance, Han Li returned to the room and asked Zhang Manyu to take a shower. He quickly organized and recorded the useful information he had heard.

After Han Li finished all this, what followed was a dance party for the two of them.

The next day, when Han Li came back from practicing boxing and martial arts outside, Zhang Manyu was still sleeping.

This is inevitable and there is nothing we can do about it.

Han Li had been a vegetarian for so many days, and now that he could finally eat meat, he had to make up for the missed meal.

After breakfast, the female companions, led by the staff, went to the beach to play and visit the manor.

Han Li and his group gathered together and officially kicked off the seminar.

This kind of private seminar does not have so many rules, and everyone does not need to stand up and speak seriously to express their opinions.

They just need to sit in their respective seats, enjoy the tea and various snacks prepared by the staff, and express their thoughts on the topic.

At about ten-thirty in the morning, the owner of the manor, Joseph Richardson, arrived with his wife.

Although Joseph did not have any title, he always considered himself to be of English royal descent, and acted like an aristocrat with all his airs and dignity.

Joseph was wearing a last century English-style suit, vest, leather shoes, hat, a gold pocket watch, and holding a gold-studded and jeweled civilized cane.

(If you don’t know what this suit looks like, you can take a look at the suit that the Prime Minister wears on important occasions. That suit is based on the English suit of the last century.)
Joseph's wife wore the latest Hobgoblin, embellished with jewels and tassels.

She wore a very distinctive hat on her head, which was also decorated with many gems and silk flowers, and had a mask like a fishing net with large holes, covering the area above her nose.

She wears a complete set of jewel accessories on her neck, ears and hands. I don’t know if it was made by a famous artist, but the whole set is very eye-catching.

Joseph and his wife first welcomed everyone to their estate for the seminar. After briefly listening to everyone's self-introductions, he asked his wife to arrange lunch.

(According to the custom of the English nobility, the banquet dishes, afternoon tea types, and cakes all need to be arranged by the wife.)
Joseph briefly talked about his and many people's expectations for England and Kent to restore their reputation as the "Garden of England".

However, this wish was opposed by some short-sighted people (beneficiaries), which led to this academic exchange meeting held by Han Li and others.

Joseph didn't say the rest, and the fifteen of them understood everything after hearing this. However, Han Li still didn't understand one thing in his heart. This was a good job. During the period, he could enjoy the top food and wine in England, the service of well-trained waitresses, and the enjoyment of aristocrats.

The most important thing is that as long as they produce the receipts, all the expenses incurred during their field research will be settled by Joseph's housekeeper. There is too much water in this, and those who understand will understand.

Such a good thing, such a simple thing.

It is very strange that all the mentors, including Professor Rand Swanson, did not attend.

As for the statements made by these mentors that they were indifferent to fame and fortune, regarded money as dirt, and supported their students, Han Li did not believe them at all.

You have to know that among the tutors in England there are rich and poor ones. Among the fifteen tutors there may be some who are wealthy or have high moral character, but to say that they are all like this, even a fool would not believe it.

But why is this happening? Is there something I don't know?

Han Li stared at Joseph in front of him, who had a stern expression, was dressed in retro style, and looked serious, and fell into deep thought.

During this period, Joseph boasted about his English royal ancestry.

He also said that his grandfather was the second son of the Grand Duke. Because of the rule that the eldest line of succession was the only one who inherited the family property, his family received almost no property when it was divided up.

(The term "eldest line" is used in English. This refers to the eldest son and grandson in my country.)
Joseph said that their family now owns more than a dozen manors, three or four castles purchased from other nobles, the India Farm, and the mines in South Africa, all of which were the result of the hard work of three generations of their family.

With such a large family business without any help from the eldest branch of the family, Joseph described the three generations of the family as an inspirational example.

During the conversation, Joseph also said in a mocking tone that the eldest branch of their family had been in decline recently, and in recent years they could not even afford the expenses for maintaining the castle.

It is only a matter of time before their family regains the title of Changxi and the corresponding title.

When Joseph said this, everyone present followed suit and flattered him, causing a smug smile to appear on the host's old-fashioned face.

At this time, Joseph's wife had already arranged everything in the kitchen. She came over and said something to Joseph and went back to her room to change her clothes.

Seeing this situation, Han Li thought that everyone would go to the restaurant after Mrs. Joseph changed her clothes.

However, what Han Li did not expect was that it took Mrs. Joseph more than forty minutes to change her clothes.

Such a long time made Han Li think that the other party had gone to find his lover to relax his body and mind.

After Mrs. Joseph changed her clothes, Han Li thought that they should go to the restaurant for dinner this time.

But Han Li did not expect that at this time Joseph's housekeeper secretly told Han Li and others who were still waiting for dinner that they also had to go back to the room to change into formal clothes before the banquet could begin.

Han Li almost cursed after hearing this request. How could he ask guests to change clothes before eating? If there were no spare clothes, would they not be allowed to eat?
However, seeing that Joseph and his wife looked unhappy, there must be something wrong with their etiquette, so the butler came to inform them.

Han Li returned to his room and changed his clothes with the help of Zhang Manyu. After thinking about what happened just now, he decided not to let Zhang Manyu attend the banquet.
