Chapter 263 Another Invitation Letter

I don't know if it was Xu Yun's illusion.

After mentioning the matter of Angus Roman and his son.

He felt that Lao Tang's expression suddenly became more serious.

How to say this kind of atmosphere.

It looks like Tuo Gu. Wrong, wrong, it looks like something big is about to happen.

no doubt.

What Lao Tang will say next is far more important than Angus Roman's gossip.

Then Lao Tang pondered for a moment, turned his head, and said to Mai on the side:

"Maxwell, you go to the door to keep an eye on it, and remember to knock on the door in time for any abnormalities."

Mai Mai was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I see, Mr. Thomson."

After the wheat goes out.

Lao Tang got up and went to the window, closed the curtains, and turned on the lamp.

Then took it out of the breast pocket

a letter.

Lao Tang put the letter on the table, pushed it in front of Xu Yun, and said:

"Luo Feng, take it apart and have a look, be careful not to damage it."

Xu Yun nodded to him, took the letter and looked at it.

This is a standard cowhide letter, with a small piece of ink pad stuck to the seal, and a few words are written in the addressee column:

Classmate Luo Feng personally.

It is clear.

This is a letter to Xu Yun.

Considering that I made trouble at Cambridge University yesterday, it is reasonable for some students to write letters or even confess to themselves out of various psychology, but the problem is

If it was just a letter sent for the above reasons, is it worthwhile for Lao Tang to put on such an appearance as an underground party leader?

And if it wasn't for the letter sent by the students, then the optional targets would be reduced a lot.

Think here.

A name popped up in Xu Yun's mind:

Prince Albert.

After all, there are not many people who can make Lao Tang so solemn, there are only a few people inside and out.

Faraday and William Whewell must be included, but if they have anything to say, they can call themselves at the experimental site.

The only exception is Prince Albert.

Affected by his status, many behaviors of the uncrowned king of Great Britain are restricted, and it is reasonable to want to pass some words to himself in private.

So

Could it be him?

Holding this guess, Xu Yun tore open the envelope.

After a while.

A passage of English appeared in front of Xu Yun:

The Cambridge Conversazione Society

WILL DINE AT THE

Hyde Park Place

On Saturday, 10th Nov, 1850

at 7:30 p.m.

Reply to

Sir William Thomson.

After reading this passage, Xu Yun couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Isn't it Prince Albert?

The content of this passage is not complicated, Xu Yun can understand its meaning even without halo translation:

Roughly, a certain Cambridge society organized a party in Hyde Park. If you want to come, just reply to the old soup in front of you.

at the same time.

Xu Yun's gaze was a little dazed.

It's fine if it's not a letter from Prince Albert, but an invitation letter from a club is worthy of Lao Tang's big fanfare. Wait!

Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and asked Lao Tang thoughtfully:

"Mr. Thomson, isn't this an invitation letter from the Cambridge Apostolic Society?"

Lao Tang looked up at him and nodded in affirmation.

I saw his index finger pacing on the table, explaining:

"That's right, the Apostolic Society will hold a banquet in two days, at which time a vote will be held on the eligibility of the new batch of members of the Apostolic Society."

"I came here this time to send you this invitation letter—congratulations, Luo Feng, you already have the qualification for an interview at the Cambridge Apostles Club."

Cambridge Apostolic Society.

This mysterious group was introduced a long time ago.

This is a society jointly established in 1820 by Morris of Cambridge University, Tennyson Hallam and others.

The apostles here correspond to the "Acts of the Apostles" in the "Bible", that is, the twelve disciples of Jesus.

Therefore, the maximum number of people in the Apostles Club has always been 12.

in the community.

Members of the undergraduate student body are often referred to as "apostles," while graduate students are referred to as "angels."

In the beginning, the club's activities were mainly debates, called the Cambridge Symposium, and most of them had the nature of a tea party.

The Cambridge Apostles hold a meeting every Saturday night. During the regular meeting, the group members give a speech on a certain topic, and after the speech, the members discuss freely.

However, as the earlier batches of members of the Apostolic Club stepped into the political or business circles, interested people gradually realized the value of this club.

As a result, the nature of the Apostolic Society changed.

This is equivalent to a small group created by some Internet writers in later generations. At first, they might just want to blow water and fart, but gradually they became a gathering place for py.

As for the way to join the Apostles Society, it is difficult to say, but it is not so simple to say:

This system is called the Referee recommendation system.

That is to say.

If you want to join the Apostolic Society, you must first know an apostolic member—although you may not know his identity, and then this person proposes a preliminary vote before you receive an email invitation to attend a dinner at a college in Cambridge University .

At this evening (mian) banquet (shi), all previous members will attend as long as they can be present, and vote to determine whether new members are eligible to join.

Newcomers were sworn to secrecy and heard a spell written by theologian Anthony Fenton.

Afterwards, Old Tang paused and continued:

"However, Luo Feng, you must have a clear idea first. This invitation letter is not an official letter of joining the company. It is not easy to pass the interview."

"Otherwise, the Apostle Club would have been overcrowded."

Xu Yun nodded clearly.

The maximum number of people in the Apostles Club is twelve, but it doesn't mean that it must enroll the full number of people every year.

In the declassification of some documents of the Apostolic Society in later generations, it can be found that in many years the number of the Apostolic Society was only seven or eight or even five or six.

Under such circumstances, wanting to enter the Apostles Club was not something that even Xu Yun could be sure of.

But on the other hand.

If he could join this extremely mysterious Cambridge club, Xu Yun's score would definitely increase greatly at the time of settlement.

Even if it can have an impact on the long-term history through the association, there may be national sports-level rewards if it is not guaranteed?

Think here.

Xu Yun couldn't help but glanced at Lao Tang, and thanked him:

"Mr. Thomson, thank you this time."

As mentioned above, the model of the Apostles Club is a standard Referee recommendation system, and there must be referees.

So in Xu Yun's view.

To be able to receive this invitation letter, Lao Tang must have contributed behind it.

But what Xu Yun didn't expect was that.

Lao Tang waved his hand at him, shook his head and said:

"You don't need to thank me, I just proposed a few minutes earlier than some people."

"Even if I don't speak, you will still receive this letter."

"some people?"

Hearing this word in Lao Tang's words, Xu Yun was stunned, and subconsciously asked:

"Mr. Thomson, are there any other apostles who proposed to send me an invitation letter?"

Lao Tang picked up water to moisten his throat, put down the glass and said:

"That's right."

Xu Yun saw that Shen Yin was less inclined, and tentatively reported a name:

"Student Avelyn?"

Lao Tang smiled, and just when Xu Yun thought he guessed right, he said again:

"Evelyn also wrote the proposal, but she was not the second to submit it."

Xu Yun was completely stunned.

Avelyn, as the descendant of the Escu family who is closest to Mavericks, has excellent grades, so Xu Yun had guessed a long time ago:

If nothing else, she should be one of the active Cambridge apostles.

Therefore, after Lao Tang said that besides him, someone else proposed to absorb him into the Apostle Club, Xu Yun immediately thought of that smart girl.

The result was unexpected.

This answer was only half right—Aveline did make a suggestion, but the pick was only third.

That is, between Avelyn and Lao Tang, there was another apostle who proposed the same idea.

This makes some sense.

At this time, Mai Mai was still just a freshman, and he hadn't even received an invitation letter this time, so it was impossible for him to be qualified to make such a suggestion.

Except for wheat.

Not to mention Xu Yun's talent at Cambridge University, ordinary students don't know many of them.

Indeed.

The experiments he made last night were indeed shocking, but they were still far from being recommended by a passer-by.

Whether it's Laotang or Avelyn.

One of them had been saved by himself, and the other was a descendant of Mavericks, who belonged to a person who had a certain friendship with him, and it was completely reasonable to make suggestions.

But another person.

Xu Yun thought about it for half a minute, but couldn't guess who it was. (Play a game, who can guess the fifty chapters added, before the next chapter is updated before the deadline, relevant clues have been left before)

Then he looked at Lao Tang and asked:

"Mr. Thomson, I don't know who the second person who proposed the idea was."

Lao Tang waved his hand at him again, and said:

"You'll understand the details when you get to the banquet, don't worry, the other party has no ill intentions towards you."

After talking, Lao Tang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became solemn once again visible to the naked eye.

He paused for a moment, then said:

"Luo Feng, as I said before, this invitation letter is not the final admission letter, but just a chance for you and other 'candidate apostles' to have an interview."

"So you have to prepare in advance. Well, some people are against your admission, so maybe."

Lao Tang didn't finish his sentence, but Xu Yun understood what he meant:

Old Tang Avelyn and the mysterious apostle wanted to join the society, but some people held the opposite opinion.

and if nothing else

There are still a lot of opponents in this part, otherwise Lao Tang wouldn't have to emphasize this matter deliberately.

Therefore, during the interview process, I may encounter some special difficulties.

As for the reasons why these people do not welcome themselves, there are many reasons:

It may be because of a bad relationship with Lao Tang, or because of his oriental background, etc.

Of course.

The most likely reason is that all the experiments I have done are replicating the achievements of 'Fat Fish'.

Some apostles may think that this has nothing to do with them—you, a porter, are also worthy of being with us?

So it's obvious.

This time, the 'interview' of the Apostles Club will not be easy.

all in all.

After handing over the invitation letter, Lao Tang's task for today will be successfully completed.

Afterwards, Xu Yun cooked in person and showed off the scallion fish that he once chased after the girl.

The fresh river eel meat was taken out of the pot, and a spoonful of scallion oil was poured on it with a prickly sound, and the fresh fragrance immediately filled the dormitory.

After the meal, Lao Tang and Xu Yun parted ways.

Xu Yun and Mai Mai rested for a while, and at around two o'clock in the afternoon, they officially ushered in the

Their first class at Cambridge University.
