Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 184 Cambridge University (Ninth Update)
Cambridge, England, October 1988:

Joseph stands in front of the imposing 19th-century Gothic gatehouse of King's College, Cambridge University.Like other colleges, King's College is only partially open to the public. Tourists are not allowed to enter the school building at will so as not to affect the students' work and rest. The college is not open to the public during the exam.

therefore……

"Hi! Are you a freshman this year?"

A voice of greeting suddenly came from beside him. Turning his head, it was a sunny young man. He looked around. There were some freshmen looking around, but there were always people around him who took the initiative to say hello. It was obvious...they were old students.

"I originally thought that the one who would introduce me to the school would be a beautiful female alumnus, but it seems..."

"Alumni, haha! The alumni of our college are not as helpful as you think."

The smiling sunshine youth took Joseph and walked directly towards the school, helping Joseph introduce some famous buildings and world-famous alumni in the school while walking.

On the green space of the atrium of the college stands the bronze statue of Henry VI created in 1879. The magnificent corner of the college is called "Cairns Corner".

"Do you know Keynes? Famous economists, our college also includes political commentator Nayonard Woolf, philosopher and critic Lewis Dickinson, painter Duncan Grant and writer Foster. A master figure."

"Keynes? Author of "On Money" and "On Probability?"

"Yes, it's him."

"This is a chapel, a typical representative of our ancient Cambridge architecture. It was designed by Henry VI himself and took nearly 100 years to complete in 1547."

While John introduced, Joseph also watched the representative of this ancient building. The fan-shaped vaulted ceiling of the chapel is supported by 22 buttresses, which was built by the famous craftsman Vastel in 1515; the details of the crown on the west gate and the coat of arms of the Tudor rose , reflecting Henry VIII's dream of British hegemony;
The 16th century stained glass windows on the walls are all based on Bible stories. The screen in the chapel is an excellent example of Tudor carpentry, separating the vestibule and the choir, and the huge 17th century organ box above the screen There are two angels holding trumpets.There is also a decorative painting behind the altar, which is "The Adoration of the Magi" painted by Rubens for the Abbey of White Nuns in Belgium in 1634, and the screen separating the front hall of the chapel from the choir, which is decorated with an angel's pipe organ and a fan-shaped The vaulted ceiling is the focal point of the visit.

The King's College Choir was established at the same time that Henry VI built the chapel. The mass concert held at Christmas every year will be broadcast to the whole of the UK by the BBC. It is one of the world-renowned Christmas concerts.

……

Day [-] King's College Admissions Office:

"Hello, Earl of Aberdeen."

Viscount Allen, the vice-president of King's College, Cambridge University, stretched out his hand to express his welcome. Joseph was just an ordinary student. Even if he had the title of earl, a vice-president would welcome him in person.

"Mr. Vice President Allen, hello."

Viscount Allen waved his hand to signal Joseph to sit down, and after he sat down, he said: "I am not here because of your earldom, nor because we are both nobles, but I am also related to the Aberdeen family. "

It turned out that Joseph still felt a little strange why the majestic vice president appeared here. Now it is not the world of aristocrats before World War II. There is not much difference between nobles and ordinary citizens.

In fact, Allen didn't think highly of Joseph. He naturally didn't know the identity of the Grand Duke of Nord. Regarding the title of Earl of Aberdeen, Joseph in Allen's eyes was just a lucky man. The contemporary heir gave up the title. A lucky clown got In the favor of God, he became a millionaire and a noble earl.

"Earl of Aberdeen, this is the school, can the two outside the door leave?"

Although it was an inquiry, the firmness in the words was already evident. Only at this moment did Joseph realize that he actually brought the guards to the school, which was not allowed.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Apologizing to Joseph for letting the guards leave, of course they didn't really leave but scattered to inconspicuous places, protecting Joseph's safety at all times.

"This is the freshman handbook. If there is anything, you can come to me, but I hope that such things will not happen or not happen often."

Viscount Allen began to slowly stand in the position of the vice-principal, speaking unceremoniously, but Joseph was not some Duke of Nord at this time but a student, so he could only nod in agreement.

"If there is no problem, the first class will be held in three days. There are some things about the school, including ID cards and reading cards. Keep them carefully. If you don't have these things, the guards will not let you into the school."

……

Because the enthusiastic alumni helped Joseph get acquainted with the campus the day before, he did not feel much confused when he left the admissions office. Joseph naturally knew the attitude of Deputy Dean Allen, but so what, there will naturally be those who do not really understand the origin of their title Such a contemptuous psychology, thinking that he is just a lucky one.

"Hi! Joseph."

A familiar voice greeted him, and it turned out to be the new alumnus John he just met yesterday, but today he was surrounded by two beautiful blonde beauties with a hot figure. It seemed that Joseph's disdain yesterday had an effect.

Yesterday, Joseph scorned the scarcity and quality of women in King's College, and John retorted a few words angrily, but no matter how much evidence was in front of him, no matter how much he refuted, it would be powerless.

Joseph didn't know that this stubborn guy had actively contacted his female classmates since they parted, knowing that Joseph would definitely come to report today, he was waiting here early in the morning.

"Hi, I'm Joseph, John's friend."

"Hi, I'm Edith, and this is my good friend Elaine."

Originally, Edith was very angry, because Joseph in John's mouth was full of contempt for the girls of King's College, but now... the friendly, handsome, and immature Joseph can only make Edith feel good.

"Hey, hey, hey! Edith, you're not very... woo woo."

Edith is obviously a woman with a hot personality, and she covered John's mouth before he finished speaking!How could Joseph be so friendly and look down on the women of King's College? John must have made it up.

I don't have any liking for Joseph or love at first sight, but I just think Joseph is suitable to be a friend, and I don't want John to talk nonsense to spoil the feeling of meeting for the first time.

"Hi Joseph, I'm Elaine."

Compared to Edith Elaine, she is the lovable kind. She speaks softly and her appearance makes people want to be cared for. In fact, her personality is also the same.

"John, what are you doing here, are you waiting for me?"

"Of course... no, it just happened to happen."

These are not the exact words of John, but Edith, who couldn't hold back the eyes of the black belt, could only change what he wanted to say against his will. His heart was the most wronged one. I don't know who woke him up early in the morning. Me, take me here and wait.

No one paid any attention to his slander, and Edith said that she was bored, so she might as well go to Joseph's place to have fun. Joseph told John yesterday that he had an apartment nearby.

There is an apartment instead of buying, which naturally means Joseph's small financial resources. Although John doesn't care, he also has a little envy. After all, he still lives in the dormitory, so he accidentally said this when he angered Edith. thing.

There is not much money in a small apartment, and the small one is only tens of thousands of euros. For some Americans, a slightly richer family can afford it. At least Edith has the financial resources, so she just I just want to get closer.

After all, if they can be invited by the master, or go to the master's apartment to play, then their relationship will naturally be much closer. King's College is a very united college, and the students here spare no effort to make friends they like.Therefore, if a strange classmate pulls you to invite you to drink, you must not refuse, and do not refuse the other party's kindness.

"This is your car!"

Looking at the white Porsche in the parking lot, John was a little shocked, and so were Edith and Elaine. Through the casual conversation just now, they had always regarded Joseph as an ordinary person or an ordinary person from a small rich family, but they didn't think about it. Joseph would have been so rich.

Joseph's clothes are relatively restrained, so unless you look closely, it is difficult to recognize his world-brand casual clothes as something worth thousands of euros.

At this time, Edith realized that her request to come to the door was a little reckless. Would Joseph have some other ideas?Especially since she is a woman, it is easy to cause misunderstandings in similar matters.

"Joseph..."

Edith wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth. After all, such a thing couldn't be explained at all, and the more she explained, the more she couldn't explain it clearly.

"Aren't we friends? The most important thing between friends is trust. Edith, Elaine, do you want to go for a ride? Maybe it would be good to let John run over."

The two girls are both on the thin side, especially Elaine who is very petite, so it's not a problem at all to bring the two of them, but this is not the point, the point is to relieve Edith's embarrassment.

"Yes, we are friends."

It was undoubtedly the most appropriate for Joseph to speak on his own initiative, and Edith instantly relieved the embarrassment, and because of Joseph's initiative, the relationship between the two parties was more or less closer, at least not as restrained as a friend who just met.

"Joseph, you are really not loyal enough."

John is also a smart person. He couldn't understand that Joseph's words were mainly to solve Edith's embarrassment, so he screamed exaggeratedly, as if Joseph had done something horrific to him.

"Let John take your car! I'll drive behind you."

Joseph was not surprised that Edith had a car. After all, looking at the clothes on her body, she knew that she was also a wealthy person. Not to mention anything else, that brown leather bag was worth more than [-] euros. When he and Kate were shopping in Hong Kong City have seen.
