Chapter 247 Big Brothers Gather (Part 1)

"."

After wheat's words were spoken.

There was a strange silence between Xu Yun and Mai Mai.

Xu Yun felt that there was a slot stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

how to say

As expected of Yinglan, even Mai Mai's thinking is so fucking affectionate.

But from a certain point of view, what wheat said seems to be somewhat reasonable?

Thomson went to Scotland for wheat and almost lost his life. After returning to school, he turned a blind eye to Ellis, who had been his classmate for three years

Isn't this a standard Tianxiang vs. Ome?

Keke think far, think far.

Then Xu Yun took a deep breath, straightened his expression, and said to Mai:

"Mr. Maxwell, I need to remind you that Senior Ellis is obviously also a contender for the President of the Student Union."

"You and me. No, it should be only you. The bond between you and Mr. Thomson has been analyzed before, and it can be regarded as a fatal weakness."

"So no matter when in the future, you must take extra precautions against Ellis - Ellis is not Alice, too close and no book to read."

Mai Mai subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the classroom, and nodded thoughtfully.

mentioned earlier.

The president of the Students' Union of Cambridge University is very powerful, and it can be said that the power is on the campus, but the risk during the election is also not small.

Candidates who fail the election must drop out of school immediately, leaving indelible stains on their records, and even with them for a lifetime.

In other words.

Cambridge students who have the courage to run for the president of the Student Union should more or less have some special contacts or hole cards.

So once Ellis made a move on wheat, the honest kid from the Scottish countryside might not be able to stand it.

Xu Yun even had a suspicion that the core scoring item of this election for the president of the Student Federation was the defense of Mai Mai's halo of fee reduction.

If wheat can be pulled down from the cloud, Ellis will have a high score in Cambridge's senior management, and there is a high probability that he will become the president of the Students' Union.

On the contrary, Thomson is in the upper position.

After all, there are more than ten colleges in Cambridge University, and the degree of autonomy among them is very high. Not everyone is willing to grow wheat.

Xu Yun prefers that the top management is at a delicate game balance point, and both sides are waiting for the opening of the curtain after school starts.

And just as Xu Yun was talking with Mai Mai.

At the entrance of the teacher, another "acquaintance" of Xu Yun walked in:

Evelyn Escue.

The blond girl was the same as when we met, still holding a heavy book in her signature style, exuding a strong literary atmosphere.

Her peaceful expression was like a pool of autumn water, making it difficult to associate her with that brat Lilani.

Cambridge University now recruits a limited number of girls, and 90% of the classrooms are old men, which looks like Xu Yun's readership in his previous life.

In addition, Avelyn's appearance is outstanding, so I don't know if it's an illusion. Xu Yun always feels that with the appearance of this girl, the voices in the classroom seem to be quieter.

At this time, Avelyn had no companions by her side. After entering the classroom, she glanced around, and soon found Xu Yun who stood out from the crowd of Europeans.

Then she walked to Xu Yun and Mai Mai with the book in her arms, and nodded to Xu Yun and Mai Mai:

"Maxwell, Luo Feng, good morning."

"Senior sister/Student Avelyn, hello."

Mai Mai and Xu Yun also greeted her at the same time, and then Xu Yun asked curiously:

"Student Avelyn, are you attending the Student Federation department or?"

Avelyn raised her eyelids and glanced at him, brushed a strand of hair that was hanging down behind her ear, and replied:

"There is no attendance requirement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs today. Of course I'm here to attend the opening ceremony. I'm in the first year of graduate school this year."

"Unlike other colleges, the four theological schools of Cambridge University, including Trinity College, hold the opening ceremony together every year-why do you think the venue for the ceremony is arranged in such a big place?"

Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized:

Yes.

I almost forgot, Avelyn is also a first-year graduate student just like myself

Then he suddenly thought of something, and said to Aveline:

"Student Avelyn, so the four people at the entrance of the classroom are all students from four seminaries?"

Evelyn nodded:

"That's right."

Xu Yun suddenly understood.

No wonder you saw people from four colleges at the entrance. It turned out that everyone attended the opening ceremony together?

There are many colleges in the University of Cambridge that have set up theology majors, but in 1850, there were only four that could truly be called seminaries:

Trinity College, St Peter's College, Jesus College and Emmanuel College.

As for another Christian college that sounds a lot like a seminary, it is actually a liberal arts college with high academic standards.

For example, Deng Yaping, who is well-known in the table tennis world, obtained a doctorate in land economics from Christian College.

Of course.

Although the name of the seminary has a strong religious nature, it seems that there are countless dogmas, as if reading the scriptures and praying day and night.

But in fact.

Whether it is schoolwork or daily life, the color of sects in the seminary is not particularly strong.

It is not the students who are really required by the sectarian norms in the seminary, but the teachers—if you want to be a professor in the seminary, you must obtain the priesthood.

For example and the famous Gloria.

He entered Trinity College, Cambridge University in 1839 and served as a trainee professor for three years after graduation. When he became a regular, he was forced to leave London because he was not a Christian and became a lawyer.

It was not until the school rules changed in 1863 that he was officially hired as Sadler Professor at Cambridge.

And because of this.

Xu Yun, an oriental person who has no foundation of faith at first sight, is allowed to study in the hospital.

Otherwise, in the face of religious precepts, let alone Mavericks' handwritten letter.

You can't make an exception even if you bring the calf back to life—whoever breaks it dies.

Then Xu Yun glanced at Avelyn, his own 'creditor', hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Student Avelyn, do you know the senior named Ellis at the door?"

When Avelyn heard this, a strange expression appeared on her face:

"You mean Frederick Agar Ellis?"

Xu Yun nodded:

"That's right."

Avelyn was silent for a moment, then said:

"I know him. He is a very good senior in Trinity College. He and senior Thomson have won the first and second places in the Mathematics Department of Trinity College in the past few years."

"Their original relationship was relatively harmonious, but since the person Senior Ellis likes confessed to Senior Thomson, the two have become a bit at odds."

"For example, this time Senior Thomson just announced that he would run for the president of the Student Federation, and Senior Ellis signed up the next day, looking like he was going to die."

Xu Yun:

"."

Good guy.

love triangle.

Reasons that are so clichéd that they can no longer be clichéd, but that are so reasonable that they cannot be more reasonable.

In reality, there are countless cases of backlash due to a love triangle. There are several such cases around Xu Yun, and even almost killed him.

Mai Mai thought of something, and asked gossipingly:

"By the way, Senior Sister Avelyn, did Mr. Thomson accept that person's confession afterwards?"

Avelyn quickly gave an expected answer:

"No, Senior Thomson rejected him."

Xu Yun nodded subconsciously, but suddenly paused while shaking his head, and noticed a word in Avelyn's mouth:

"Wait, classmate Avelyn, you said that senior Thomson rejected him (him)?"

Avelyn spread her hands innocently:

"Yeah, that's Senior Ellis's roommate, and the longtime third in the math department." (Note: True story)

Xu Yun glanced at Mai Mai, and the corner of his mouth twitched:

"."

Why does it feel like this is even more outrageous than wheat's brain supplement.

And at the same time that the corner of Xu Yun's mouth was twitching.

There was another movement at the entrance of the classroom.

After a while.

More than a dozen people bustled in outside the door.

And different from the young faces of the students, the newcomers are not young, at least over thirty years old.

The expression is solemn and the clothes are decent.

Two of them are Xu Yun's acquaintances:

William Whewell, head of Trinity College, and Stokes, his own cheap tutor.

It is clear.

The main leaders and professors from the four seminaries arrived.

In addition, Xu Yun also noticed that the classification of this group of people is quite clear, and they are divided into four echelons:

Stokes and some other younger professors followed.

In front of them are some veteran professors or school leaders who are in their fifties and sixties and who are very qualified at first glance.

The second echelon consisted of four little old men represented by William Whewell. Not surprisingly, they were the deans or executive deans of the four seminaries.

As for the first tier.

only one person.

He was a middle-aged man about Stokes' age, with a beard on his upper lip and brown hair brushed back to show.

Wearing a lord's dress, he looked majestic and elegant.

no doubt.

This person must be

He was the chancellor of Cambridge University at the time, the husband of Queen Victoria, and the most famous uncrowned king in British history.

Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emmanuel.

With the entry of these college leaders.

The entire lecture theater was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere visibly became solemn.

At the same time Xu Yun also found out.

During the time when I was chatting with Evelyn, a considerable part of the classroom was already filled with students.

Simply looking around, the number of people should be around 350 people.

In this way, about ten minutes passed.

After the leaders took their seats in the first row, William Whewell walked to the stage, picked up the bell on the table and shook it:

"Students, please be quiet!"

The crisp ringtone, accompanied by a thick voice, soon spread throughout the classroom.

"Um?"

Hearing the clear male voice in his ears, Xu Yun let out a little surprise.

He looked around a few times.

as expected.

He found several large tanks filled with water at the four corners of the classroom, and some hollow copper tanks were placed at certain intervals behind the podium.

This is a relatively primitive but also very effective means of sound amplification before the appearance of loudspeakers, that is, it relies on sound wave resonance to achieve a sound amplification effect in the small area.

However, compared to the West, this method is actually more common in ancient China.

After a few seconds.

William Whewell put down the bell, coughed lightly, and said:

"Geniuses from all over the world, hello, I am William Whewell, Dean of Trinity College, and I am also the speaker of today's opening ceremony."

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

After the applause disappeared.

William Whewell looked around, nodded to everyone, and continued:

"This year, the University of Cambridge's four seminaries enrolled a total of 374 new students.

"Among them 223 undergraduates with an average age of 17.4, and 151 postgraduates with an average age of 24."

"The 374 people came from 87 towns and cities in the UK and 11 countries around the world, and more than 11% of the new students were international students."

"Nearly 59% of you are the first in your family to go to college or postgraduate, and nine of you are veterans. On behalf of the University of Cambridge, I welcome you!"

"Cambridge University, as the school motto says, is the place of enlightenment, the source of knowledge, and the most mysterious temple of truth in the world."

"Cambridge University has cultivated countless well-known alumni, such as the greatest scientist Isaac Newton, the art master Byron who created the era, and the novice fisherman who will change 30,000 a day next time, etc."

".We believe you will find your way and your friends. Rest assured, Cambridge University will change you, and in turn, you will change us all"

William Whewell is worthy of being one of the philosophers who can start a school right now, and his preparation in speaking skills can be described as impeccable.

Even Xu Yun, a time traveler from later generations, listened with gusto at this time, and didn't feel boring at all.

With William Whewell's speech, the atmosphere of the entire ceremony gradually reached a climax.

".Every student present here is a unique genius. Your growth may even be related to the direction of human history. Therefore, in terms of teachers, the school will naturally do its best to allocate them to the best."

Finish this sentence.

William Whewell adjusted his position.

Like an auctioneer, he straightened his left hand, flattened his palm and said to the audience:

"So please allow me to take some time to introduce to you the strongest leaders and teaching lineup of our four colleges."

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly raised a bit:

"The first thing I want to introduce is our spiritual pillar, the president of Cambridge University, the respected Prince Albert!"

The voice just fell.

Sitting in the first row, Prince Albert stood up, put his right hand on his chest, and nodded to the students.

Clap clap!

There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, and some people even shed tears in excitement.

The time when Prince Albert took power was around 1845, and this timeline has not yet erupted, and the people's vision still stays in the United Kingdom. Or Europe.

Therefore, Albert's attention in the UK is higher than in the original history.

At the same time, in the eyes of these college students who have just entered the ivory tower, the love between Albert and Victoria is basically no different from the embodiment of a fairy tale. Conceptually, it is almost equivalent to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the East.

in this case.

Nine out of ten students are fans of Prince Albert, and the remaining one is a crush on Queen Victoria.

There are a few girls' faces

How to put it, Xu Yun doubted whether Albert had taken the aphrodisiac in human form.

If those brainless fans of later generations have the opportunity to visit Fanfan in the prison, the picture they show may be like this

After Prince Albert takes his seat.

William Whewell stretched out his hand and pressed down again, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

Then went on to introduce:

"The second person I want to introduce to you is the current dean of Emmanuel College, Mr. Abu Teldorek!"

Compared with Prince Albert, the applause this time was obviously much sparser.

The largest area is on Xu Yun's right, which should be the area of ​​Emmanuel College.

William Whewell's face remained unchanged, and he continued to introduce other leaders:

"Milton Sierra Dean of Jesus Academy"

"Head of Drizzt Hope Peter College"

"Harvey Beji. Director of Student Registration."

There are no acquaintances of Xu Yun among the leaders of the academy, and there is only one thing that surprised him:

Drizzt Hope, who should have been dismissed in 1847, is still in office.

be honest.

This person can be regarded as an upright person that is relatively rare in this era.

Like Mai Mai, he once tried his best to oppose the invasion of China's mainland, but the reason for his opposition was a little bit special.

Drizzt Hope can be regarded as a standard devout believer, the one who is the same on the outside in the true sense:

He thinks that invading China is an extremely inferior approach, which is not in line with expectations, and will inevitably be judged after death.

Therefore, he wiped out all the students of Peter College who participated in the first crow, and made it clear that the students of Peter College were not allowed to participate in any aggressive actions.

In the end, this brother only persisted for less than a year before he was dismissed.

So his actions may be more subtle to evaluate.

You may not say how friendly he is to Huaxia, after all, his starting point is based on his own religious beliefs.

If the target of the invasion is another country, he will do the same thing.

To really define it, even international friends may not be counted.

But political definitions aside, the word integrity clearly qualifies.

This is one of the complexities of religion.

No matter which sect in China or the West, if you can really believe in that kind of extremely pious, it will not be harmful.

But this kind of people is really too little, and most of them are half buckets of water in disguise to make troubles.

The line of sight returns to reality.

The school leaders of the four colleges are generally civilian staff, so it is normal that Xu Yun doesn't know much about them.

But when William Whewell introduced the professor, something unexpected happened to Xu Yun.
