Chapter 238 Life in Cambridge from Scratch (1)(5.8K)
Leilani Escu.
This is Xu Yun's most difficult character in the 1665 Mavericks dungeon.
When she met, she gave Xu Yun a piece of cow dung, but Xu Yun shocked her with a special punishment.
According to the deduction results of Halo.
This girl became more and more introverted after she left. When she was fifteen years old, she dropped out of school and went out to work.
When he was nineteen years old, he went to the Netherlands to find himself, but he encountered a shipwreck at sea and died unfortunately.
Of course.
Again.
When Xu Yun came into contact with Lilani, this naughty child was only five years old and the size of a pea.
Therefore, Lilani's feelings for Xu Yun are obviously not in the adult sense.
The main reason was that at that time, the William couple had been worried about the loss-making goods and had no time to care about their daughter.
As for the sisters, Elura and Andrea, they formed a small circle of twins.
The eldest sister Lisa is obsessed with having sex with the calf.
Therefore, Lilani's social circle is actually very closed, and no one understands or even cares about her.
This is also one of the main reasons why she became a naughty child. To put it bluntly, she hopes to gain recognition through rebellion.
In this context, Xu Yun's 'punishment' of Lilani is really out of the ordinary.
So much so that it left an indelible mark on Lilani's young heart.
Therefore, many factors combined, causing Xu Yun to become an obsession that cannot be erased in Lilani's heart.
You want to say how much Lilani likes or even 'loves' Xu Yun. This is obviously impossible. Unless that naughty kid is also a reborn person, it is impossible for a five-year-old girl to understand what love is.
This kind of situation is not uncommon in later generations. For example, Xu Yun himself remembered a ‘beneficiary’:
It was when he was in the first or second grade of elementary school that he saved up his pocket money for a whole week and bought a very expensive kite.
On the way home, I was 'robbed' by another group of kids in their early teens. Don't think it's funny. Anyone who has experienced the security situation in the last century knows that kids in their teens all carry knives.
At that time, a big brother in military uniform came over and drove away those naughty children. That scene left an indelible impression in Xu Yun's heart.
Later, Xu Yunhui chose to study at the University of Science and Technology, and after graduation, he entered Chengdu Aircraft Corporation of China. Even when he wrote books, he liked to wear the color red. This was largely due to the influence of his older brother who was a soldier.
be honest.
Xu Yun has long forgotten the other person's appearance now, and may not even recognize the other person when he appears in front of him.
But on the other hand.
This whole incident has turned into a symbol, deeply imprinted in Xu Yun's heart, and he will never forget it in this life.
As someone who has had similar experiences, Xu Yun can completely understand Leilani's thoughts.
That's why.
He has always been dissatisfied with Leilani's death.
Now that I know that Leilani's character has changed after receiving that letter, and she also got married and had children, this sense of relief is so pleasant.
As for the regrets caused by the other party’s marriage?
nonexistent.
At that time, Lilani was just a five-year-old girl. Her whole body was dirty from playing, and her face could not be clearly seen.
If Xu Yun doesn't even let go of a little girl like this, then there is probably something wrong with his psychology.
etc!
Just as he felt comforted in his heart, another thought suddenly appeared in Xu Yun's mind:
If Aveline is a descendant of Lilani, wouldn’t it mean that
Can she be her own creditor????
Perhaps according to local concepts, family branches separated by a hundred years should theoretically not have the right to inherit.
But don't forget.
This is Europe, a place that can be called a potpourri.
Therefore, collateral inheritance is not very common in Europe.
The most representative one is the grudges between Scotland and England mentioned before:
After the death of Queen Elizabeth I, her successor was her grandnephew, King James VI of Scotland.
To know.
The difference in blood relationship between the two is actually seven generations and almost a hundred years.
Therefore, from a British legal perspective, Aveline is fully qualified to inherit the Mavericks’ claims.
Xu Yun:
""
William Whewell obviously saw that Xu Yun had realized this, and the expression on his face became even brighter:
"Classmate Luo Feng, after coming of age three years ago, Aveline became the sole heir to Sir Newton's legacy."
"By the way, this is a qualification jointly recognized by the Royal Society and the British Royal Family."
"So according to the regulations on inheritance of debts in the inheritance law"
Whewell took out a piece of clean parchment from his body and placed it in front of Xu Yun along with the pen, with a cunning smile on his face like an old fox:
"Classmate Luo Feng, please write an IOU. I can make the decision. Just pay off the money within fifty years."
Xu Yun continued: ""
Seeing this, Aveline on the side couldn't help but slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.
William Whewell's approach was legally compliant, but it left her client a little confused emotionally.
It's like in 2022, one day you were called to the office by your teacher, and the principal pointed at a peer and said he owed you 100 million
What do you think about it?
There is no doubt that compared to excitement and expectation, the proportion of speechlessness and confusion is obviously higher.
Let’s not talk about other issues, let’s just talk about the amount of debt. Is 100 million so easy to repay?
This is the real deal, not the Happy Beans of Landlords.
So Aveline really has no intuitive idea of this amount.
Not to mention that this debt is actually a grudge between Mavericks and Fatty Fish, and has nothing to do with her sideline a hundred years later.
So she opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
However, before she spoke, Xu Yun sighed and picked up the pen before her.
He wrote the amount and his name Luo Feng on the IOU.
Aveline's mouth twitched: ""
Is this Oriental guy crazy?
This is 140,000 pounds!
Although there is no legal problem with Mavericks' debt, as long as Xu Yun persists, it is impossible for Dean Whewell to lose face and sue.
I wonder if Mr. Fat Fish was alive in heaven, would he be so angry that he would lift all the coffin boards?
William Whewell was also a little surprised by Xu Yun's cheerfulness.
The main reason why he invited Aveline to attend was to allocate dormitories. He originally planned to close the IOU as soon as Xu Yun could no longer hold on any longer.
Who knew that this young man was so stubborn that he would be saddled with debt?
This made Whewell feel less than subtle emotions, including speechlessness and a trace of guilt.
all in all.
When things have reached this point, neither party has anything left to say.
Then William Whewell explained some things to Thomson and asked Aveline to take Xu Yun and others to the dormitory.
On the way to leave the office and go to the dormitory, Aveline ignored the wheat beside her and asked Xu Yun:
"Mr. Luo Feng, why did you sign the IOU?"
"You should know that although there is no legal problem with that debt, it is absolutely impossible for Dean William Whewell to sue for enforcement."
Xu Yun was silent for a moment and shrugged towards the girl without explaining too much.
Of course he knew what Aveline meant. There wouldn't be too many things of this nature in 2022.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the Internet literary circle.
A contract provision at a certain point.
If the work is not completed normally, the website has the right to pursue the author's responsibility and even sue the author for compensation.
But regulations are one thing, reality is another:
The platform mostly chooses to ignore father-in-laws who cut books, and there is almost never any case of pursuing responsibility.
The same goes for William Whewell.
At first glance, Xu Yun looks like a poor guy with little money. If he sues Xu Yun, he will lose face to himself and Cambridge University.
But the truth is this: for Xu Yun, signing the IOU is actually better than not signing it.
The first is the question of William Whewell's impression.
Just now after Xiaomai proposed to live with him, William Whewell was obviously unhappy because his plans were disrupted.
This is a bit like an old father in later generations watching his daughter not develop according to his plan, but getting mixed up with a stupid son-in-law.
If he doesn't let this anger out, his situation at Cambridge University will be very awkward.
After all, what Xu Yun wants to complete this time is a phased task, and he is destined to have to deal with the University of Cambridge.
Now that he has signed the IOU, William Whewell's attitude has obviously softened a lot.
If he can maintain a fairly good relationship with William Whewell, it will be beneficial to his long-term development.
The second reason is Aveline.
Aveline is a descendant of Lilani, what do you say when you look at her?
Xu Yun felt as if he was looking at his own granddaughter
In addition, she is currently the only heir to the Mavericks property, which is basically equivalent to the status of the son of the emperor or the descendant of a saint in Cambridge University.
If he can talk to her, Xu Yun's next situation will also be much more comfortable.
Finally, there is the issue of the amount of the IOU.
Although 140,000 pounds seems to be a huge amount, Xu Yun is a wall hanging who traveled through time in 2022.
If you really use snacks, 140,000 pounds is really not that difficult.
Aveline hadn't appeared before, and William Whewell's attitude alone was not worth Xu Yun's choice to take on debt.
But when there is another weight of Aveline in addition to William Whewell, it becomes obvious who is more important and who is less important on the scale.
Therefore, based on the above reasons, Xu Yun chose to accept the debt.
Who allowed me to agree to the calf’s custody fee because I was owed in the first place?
Eight out of 10,000, loan sharks are not that cruel T.T.
Then Aveline led the way and introduced Xu Yun and Xiaomai:
"The previous semester of Cambridge University was October 5, but due to some changes in the House of Lords this year, the semester has been postponed by three weeks."
Xu Yun and Xiaomai nodded at the same time. Thomson told them about this on the way here.
The British House of Lords has always enjoyed judicial power. However, in recent years, the United Kingdom has attempted to abolish the judicial power of the House of Lords. The main reason is that not all members of the House of Lords are judicial talents and not every member understands the law.
Follow the historical trajectory.
This matter would last until the establishment of the House of Lords judicial system in 1876, so these years have always been a period of peak conflict.
However, thanks to this incident, the start of the current semester at Cambridge University has been postponed a bit.
Otherwise, Xu Yun's status as a transfer student would make Xu Yun's situation even more difficult.
But then again.
Now that I have entered Trinity College, why does the task prompt not appear?
Could it be that there are other links that have not been completed?
While Xu Yun was puzzled, Aveline's introduction continued:
"Classmate Maxwell, classmate Luo Feng."
"The dormitory you two live in is located in the graduate building behind the chapel. It is also the best student dormitory in Cambridge."
"There are many students from other colleges living in that dormitory building. You will meet many outstanding seniors, and you are likely to achieve extraordinary things in the future."
"But some of them may have peculiar personalities, so you'd better be mentally prepared."
Xiaomai glanced at Aveline and asked slightly doubtfully:
"Senior Aveline, what do you mean by unique personality?"
Aveline's expression changed a few times, as if she had recalled some not-so-good scenes, and she said with a strange expression:
"You'll understand after you see it."
Xiaomai said dumbly and shut up obediently.
Then Aveline kept walking and said:
"The opening ceremony will be held in four days, and your student badges and uniforms will also be distributed at that time."
"Your course schedule will also be announced in due course. There are many courses for first-year graduate students to take together with undergraduate students, so the classroom will not be too deserted."
"As for the next four days"
"You can go to the library or classroom to find your way, or you can visit the literary club next to the statue of Pavina."
“If you want to eat, you can go to town.”
Before Aveline finished speaking, Thomson beside her interjected:
"Leave their three meals to me, and I happen to live in the same building as them."
Aveline was stunned for a moment, but nodded quickly:
"No problem, this is the best."
The group of people walked and talked like this, without encountering much difficulty in communication.
Fifteen minutes later.
Several people stopped outside a building similar to the word "door":
The front of the building is a two-story ornate small building with a cross hanging on the top. The horizontal width is about thirty meters.
There are some windows on the second floor of the small building, which appear to be rooms with unknown functions.
The first floor is full of arches, and it's so dark inside that you can't see the details clearly.
If you look down from a high altitude.
The top view is about a rectangle about thirty meters long and ten meters wide.
Two other buildings extend vertically from the two ends of the small building. The one on the left is two stories and the one on the right is three stories.
The top view of these three small buildings shows a "door" shape, and the open space in the middle is a piece of grass.
Aveline led Xu Yun and others along a path in the center of the open space to the end and entered the first floor of the cross building.
After entering the small building, Xu Yun and others discovered that the first floor of the building was empty.
On the other side of the entrance is a thick wall with only slight decoration.
There is a staircase at the end of the left and right sides of the small building. Several students are walking on the stairs at this time.
Aveline first pointed to the stairs, then to the ceiling, and introduced:
"This building is Fiola's graduate dormitory. The two buildings on both sides are bedrooms. The second floor of the middle building is the restaurant for parties, and the first floor is the corridor and evacuation passage."
"Your room is in 302 on the right. Come with me."
Then, under Aveline's guidance, the group slowly walked upwards along the quaint wooden stairs, and soon approached the third floor.
Just as he was approaching the entrance of the corridor, Xu Yun heard some faint sounds in his ears.
It seemed like there were people gathering around and doing something, making a lot of noise.
A few seconds later.
As soon as they turned around the entrance of the corridor, they saw several men standing in the center of the corridor, discussing the objects in their hands with great interest.
soon.
One of the bald men yelled out a sentence that Xu Yun will never forget in his life:
"Hey, Milner, my socks haven't been washed for six months this time. They will definitely smell worse than yours!"
Note:
1. Stinky socks are one of Cambridge’s famous ‘heritages’.
2. After the examination, the color ultrasound of the liver has not come out yet. The current confirmed symptoms are tenosynovitis, effusion in the fingers, a slightly bent waist bone, and mitral regurgitation in the heart.
I had a hunch about my heart, because I was feeling very uncomfortable the past few days, but fortunately it wasn't a serious illness. The doctor said it was mild reflux.
I just had the effusion drained today and I don’t dare to do more, so Shaanyan and everyone can I ask for two more nights?
In the past four months, every update at the end of the month has been completed or even exceeded. Please give me a credit.
Please give me a monthly ticket. It’s the last day. Can it go up to 6,000?
