Into Unscientific

Chapter 268 Sudden Change! (13,000 words updated!)

The man who appeared from the corner was not tall, about 170, wearing a gentleman's hat and a bushy beard.

The loose long hair is scattered on both sides in a "eight" shape on the forehead, and the neck is perpendicular to the neck from behind the ears.

From the looks of it.

It is somewhat similar to the dress of Sirius Black in "Harry Potter".

wrong.

Precisely

He is the prototype of Sirius Black in the "Harry Potter" film and television works, and the idol of director Alfonso Cuaron.

Alfred Tennyson.

Actually.

Xu Yun didn't have a deep impression of Tennyson, at least he couldn't recognize Tennyson's identity just by looking at him.

But don't forget.

This is the meeting place of the Cambridge Apostolic Society.

under such circumstances.

The three founders of the Apostolic Society are the only ones who can make all the members of the Cambridge Apostles, including Rossetti, stand up and applaud:

F.D. Morris, Tennyson, Arthur Henry Hallam.

And among these three people.

Morris is a priest and bald, highly recognizable.

Haarlem traveled to Europe with his father in 1833. Unexpectedly, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage during the trip and died in Vienna in September.

Therefore, the middle-aged man with a melancholy face who appeared at this time must have only one possibility:

He is the man who countless women and even men are willing to recommend themselves as pillows, and there have been many stampede accidents in the occasions he attended. A manuscript could be sold for a high price of 1,200 pounds in 1850.

That is, the most attractive man in the whole of Britain or Europe.

tennyson.

It's worth mentioning though.

Tennyson was not alone:

Beside him was a shy boy who looked young, in his early twenties.

He is not tall, but he is somewhat hunchbacked, his freckled face is slightly flushed, and he has a courtyard emblem pinned to his chest.

These days, Xu Yun has already supplemented his knowledge in this area, so he recognized the school that this school emblem belongs to at a glance:

Christian College.

After entering the living room.

Tennyson first clapped along with everyone, and with a simple little movement, he calmly changed the object of applause from himself to the group.

After more than ten seconds, the applause gradually died down.

Tennyson paid tribute to the surroundings, took off his top hat, and hung it on the hanger, as if he had returned to his own home.

Then he came to Rossetti and asked:

"Student Rossetti, is everyone here?"

Rossetti looked at Tennyson reverently, and also replied in a low voice:

"Mr. Tennyson, all here."

"And what about the dinner party?"

"It's all ready too."

Tennyson nodded slightly, and with a firm mind, he said:

"In this case, let's start the banquet, don't let everyone wait hungry."

Rossetti looked solemn, and replied:

"clear!"

With the instruction of Tennyson, the soul, many new and old members of the Apostolic Society began to walk to the long table one after another and began to sit down.

There are generally two ways of seating Western long tables, namely French and British and American.

However, they are subdivided into the same:

Both methods are divided into three categories: host, subject and guest, and second guest. The difference is that the left and right genders are different.

Since there is only one girl, Avelyn, in the Apostle Club, the allocation of seats is much simpler:

Tennyson and Rossetti sat on both sides of the front, and Thackeray and other former apostles sat on Tennyson's left.

On Rossetti's right are the current apostles, Lao Tang and the others.

As for the interviewees like Xu Yun?

Naturally sit at the very end.

On Xu Yun's left was Bruch, and on his right was an unknown man with gold spectacles, whose school badge looked like Peter College.

The shy boy brought by Tennyson sat three seats away from him.

After allocating seats.

Tennyson stood up first, raised his hands high, and said to the crowd:

"Hallelujah!"

"Thanks to my Lord for leading us, the lost lambs, to gather here today, gentlemen and ladies, let us first give cheers and glory to Heavenly Father!"

clap clap -

There was another round of applause and cheers on the long table.

Although the purpose of this dinner was to select new apostles, Tennyson was not in a hurry to start the interview session, but warmly greeted everyone to have a meal.

mentioned earlier.

Hyde Park is very close to Buckingham Palace, just a very short distance away.

Coupled with the organizational relationship of the Cambridge Apostolic Society itself, the main course of this dinner was naturally prepared by the British Royal Chef.

Dark Cuisine.

Except live maggot cheese and black pudding.

Xu Yun also saw beef brain burgers, potato paste made from potatoes + reindeer fat + jujube horse body oil, minced raw pork, etc.

In those gourmet dramas, seven or eight black lines have to be added to the bottom of these dishes.

Having said that, I don't know how these British people came up with these showy operations.

Logically speaking.

The United Kingdom in the 19th century was a hegemony, leaving footprints of conquest almost all over the world, but why didn't it learn well about food?

If there are conflicting tastes in Chinese food, what about the Middle East?

What about Northern Europe?

There are more or less special delicacies in these areas.

To be able to be ridiculed by other countries for their catering culture while almost conquering the world, to a certain extent, the Brits are also quite awesome.

I don't know if it's a deliberate act or I really don't care. During the meal, almost no members of the Apostolic Club mentioned the interview.

Everyone was reminiscing or chatting with each other, it seemed like a dinner party with no conflict of interest.

Sitting opposite Xu Yun were two middle-aged men in their thirties, obviously graduated apostles.

One of them has a smooth face, and the other has a mustache that resembles that of a failed art student in Austria.

The two seem to have a good relationship. At this time, Mustache is gnawing on an apple, and at the same time said to the other person:

"Hey, Holt, I heard that your police station has been busy recently?"

The middle-aged man named Holt picked up a piece of beef with a fork, chewed it slowly for a while, and then said slowly:

"That's right, a group of thieves ran into London last month, and a search warrant was issued directly from above. Even the Bow Street Detective Team was sent out to search together."

"Boy, Bow Street Detectives?"

The middle-aged man with a mustache was taken aback for a moment, and interest suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked:

"What the hell happened?"

The middle-aged man with a mustache is currently working in the General Administration of Customs, and he just returned to London a few days ago, preparing to attend the meeting of the Apostles Society.

On the way back, he heard that the London Police Station was a bit busy recently, so he casually asked his friend Holt who was working in the police station at the dinner table, intending to pass the time chatting.

result

It seems that something big has been involved?

To know.

The Bow Street Detective Team is the earliest modern investigative force in the UK, or in other words, the world.

It was established in 1750 and has since established the British police system.

But on the other hand.

It was replaced by the London Police Force in 1829. The current Bow Street Detective Squad only patrols around Buckingham Palace and belongs to the royal "secret sentinel".

Now that this team has been dispatched, what matters is definitely not a trivial matter!

Facing his friend's inquiry, Holt pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"I don't know much about the specific situation. I only know that it is a assisted investigation order issued directly from the Office of the Minister of Internal Affairs."

"I heard that those thieves stole some special treasures, and none of them were British, but from"

As he spoke, Holt's voice gradually sank.

Even if Xu Yun turned his body slightly, he couldn't hear Holt's whisper clearly—he didn't have a good ear.

But from the description point of view.

It seems that a particular gang of thieves has come to London and stole something, much to the annoyance of the British authorities?

Something that can get British police authorities to so much fanfare is clearly valuable.

Plus the precondition of not being British

Perhaps some treasure stolen from France or Italy?

Like the white flag used to surrender 2,000 years ago?

But this matter has nothing to do with him anyway, so Xu Yun put it aside temporarily after thinking about it.

Tick-tick--

The hands of the clock on the wall moved slowly, and the time passed by every minute and every second amidst the chatter and laughter.

after an hour.

Tennyson glanced at the dining table, guessing that everyone's gossip was almost finished.

Then he stood up and said:

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet first!"

The words should just fall.

A needle can be heard on the dining table immediately, and Tennyson's prestige can be seen from this.

The interviewees in Xu Yun's row also realized something, and they all straightened their chests and sat upright.

Then Tennyson was silent for a moment, and a trace of emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes:

"More than 20 years ago today, in this hut, I founded the Cambridge Apostolic Society together with two like-minded friends."

"Almost thirty years have passed, and our Apostle Society has seventy-seven members."

"Many people have played a pivotal role in politics and literature, and the influence of the Apostles Society is constantly expanding."

Said here.

Tennyson picked up his glass and raised his voice a little:

"So for this glass of wine, we first salute ourselves! Salute the name of 'Apostle'!"

Tennyson's voice fell.

All the members of the Apostolic Society toasted at the same time and shouted:

"Hail to the apostles!"

Tennyson raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

After putting down the wine glass.

Tennyson glanced at the end of the table quickly from the corner of his eye, and said:

"Everyone knows that every year today, in addition to celebrating the establishment of the Apostolic Society, we will hold another event."

"That is to elect new members of the Apostolic Society."

"In July this year, two apostles, Fati Saiji and Lynn Alexandrovich, graduated. One of them went to Asan, and the other went to America."

"Including a seat that was already vacant, there are currently nine members of the Apostolic Society studying, three angels and six apostles."

Mentioned earlier.

In the Apostolic Society.

Graduate students are called angels, and undergraduate members are called apostles.

Currently the three angels in the club are Lao Tang, Aveline and Rossetti, among which Aveline was promoted from an apostle to an angel after the opening ceremony.

Then Tennyson paused and continued:

"Today, the agency plans to take out two places and conduct interviews with seven interviewees, and the remaining members will vote based on the speeches of the interviewees."

"The interviewees are ranked according to the number of votes. Only the interviewees who get the top two votes and more than 15 votes at the same time will be officially included as members of the Apostle Club."

"In addition, according to the old rules, the referees of the seven interviewees will not participate in the scoring."

Hear what Tennyson said.

Several interviewees swept around the dining table almost at the same time.

The total number of members of the Apostolic Society is 77, and there are 39 present today.

After deducting the seven interviewees, there were a total of 32 current and former members of the Apostolic Club present.

Among the 32 people, seven recommenders of the interviewers were deducted, and there were only 25 members with voting rights.

Not to mention the fact that the voters' camp must also be taken into consideration—such as Rossetti and Adam, it is obviously impossible for them to vote for themselves.

Thus.

The number of votes you can win will be even lower.

If the estimate is good.

Even if he performed impeccably, the final number of votes was estimated to be between 18 and 20 votes.

This number of votes wants to be at the top

Disaster!

Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Worth mentioning.

It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen.

After Tennyson finished talking about the rules, he handed over the right to speak to Rossetti, and the current president described the interview requirements.

To put it bluntly, the interview process is actually very simple. There are only two processes in total:

One is self-introduction.

During this round of interviews, interviewers should express their situation as clearly as possible, so that everyone can have a basic image cognition.

The second is talent assessment.

At that time, Rossetti will announce a topic, and the interviewer will complete the creation by himself according to the requirements.

After the two processes are completed, the final scoring will be entered.

After saying these rules.

Snapped--

Rossetti clapped his hands heavily and said to everyone:

"Okay, now for the first round of interviews, seven interviewees are invited to introduce themselves."

"The order is from front to back, please invite the first interviewer."

"Student Trevor Palin!"

As soon as Rossetti finished speaking.

A few bodies to the right of Xu Yun, a blue-eyed young man with unkempt hair stood up.

Gollum—

The blue-eyed young man swallowed restrainedly, and said word by word:

"Hello seniors, I am Trevor Palin from King's College, and my father is an Italian jeweler."

The blue-eyed young man seemed quite nervous, but after an introduction, he revealed some information.

For example, he is a sophomore undergraduate at King's College, his father is a jeweler, and his family is well-off.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from his nationality and his constant glances at Rossetti that he should be the interviewee selected by Rossetti.

Although Rossetti is a man of bad character, his vision and ability are still very high.

The people who caught his eye and let him recommend them are obviously amazing in some aspects, and one cannot jump to conclusions just from the stuttering performance in the first round.

After Trevor Palin is seated.

Rossetti hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Tennyson.

Just then he cast his eyes on the shy boy who was two feet away from Xu Yun, and said:

"Next, Fitz Henry Hallam."

Wow——

With the export of this term.

There was a burst of gasps and discussions at the scene.

Several old members in their forties stood up suddenly, and saw one of them staring at Fitz Henry Hallam, asking:

"Too much like this classmate, what is your relationship with Arthur Henry Hallam?"

The shy boy blushed, shook hands awkwardly, and said:

"That's my brother."

Swish——

The moment they got the answer, everyone on the scene turned their attention to Tennyson.

The faces of Xu Yun, Lao Tang, and Daniel also showed sudden expressions at the same time.

No wonder that Patrick Adam said that tonight is one of six, and that's why.

In the long journey of life, most people will meet someone who has a profound impact on their life trajectory.

He may have helped you, or he may have hurt or backstabbed you.

In short, no matter good or bad, they are actively or passively pushing your life and character in a certain direction.

For example, the soldier elder brother Xu Yun met back then.

For example, many people may be emotionally hurt.

Or the man Tennyson met in college

Arthur Henry Hallam.

Tennyson was born in Lincolnshire, England. The beautiful scenery and idyllic sentiment made him develop the temperament of a romantic poet since he was a child.

After attending Trinity College, Cambridge, he met Hallam, the son of the historian Henry Hallam.

Hallam was brilliant, and he hit it off with Tennyson, and the two quickly became close friends.

They had planned to publish a book of poetry together, but the plan was opposed by Hallam's father - because it would require a lot of money.

In the end, Tennyson published the collection alone, and Hallam wrote "On the Characteristics of Modern Poetry and Tennyson's Lyrics", publicly praising his friend's work.

Tennyson was greatly moved by this unreserved love for his friends.

after that.

Hallam falls in love with Tennyson's sister, which brings the two young men's friendship closer together.

However, the weather was unsatisfactory, and the marriage once again encountered opposition from Hallam's father.

In order to ease the relationship with his father, Hallam decided to travel to Europe with his father, hoping to find an opportunity to see if he could persuade his father.

Unexpectedly, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage during the journey and died in Vienna in September 1833.

Since then.

The word death has become an eternal theme in Tennyson's poems.

This sentimental melody also pushed Tennyson back, helping him become the most popular man in Victorian poetry.

The ancients said it well.

The people of Sri Lanka have passed away, and so are the living.

Therefore, when Hallam's only younger brother was admitted to Cambridge University, Tennyson recommended him to the interview dinner without hesitation.

The younger brother of one of the founders of the Apostles Society, and the junior recommended by the other founder

no doubt.

He will definitely occupy a place to join the club.

This statement can be said to be through the back door, but Xu Yun is not much dissatisfied:

The Apostle Club was originally an organization founded by my brother. Arthur Henry Hallam has been dead for more than 20 years now, so it is completely understandable to give my brother a place to join the club.

At most, he sighed that he was unlucky, and that he was a bit of a non-chief.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Fitz Henry Hallam began to introduce himself:

".Hello everyone, I am Fitz Henry Hallam, a graduate of the University of Manchester and currently a first-year postgraduate student at Christ's College, University of Cambridge."

Fitz Henry Hallam's self-introduction was very brief, but no one dared to underestimate Hallam's younger brother.

even if nothing unexpected

With Tennyson's support, Fitz Henry Hallam was likely to become the next president of the Apostolic Society when Rossetti graduated from day school.

After Fitz Henry Hallam's introduction, it was the turn of the boy brought by Patrick Adam.

Then there is another person on Xu Yun's right hand, Xu Yun himself, Bruch

About twenty minutes passed.

The first round of self-introduction is over.

In this round of self-introduction, the one with the greatest advantage is undoubtedly Fitz Henry Hallam.

It is a certainty that this "Second Generation" will occupy the final spot.

In the second echelon are Bruch and another young man named Dario Duarte.

One of them is a well-known artist, and the other is the great-grandson of Lord Duarte, which fits the definition of 'elegance' of the Apostles Society.

As for Xu Yun.

Fair enough.

The experience of his previous life kept him from being nervous or losing his composure during the whole process, but the intersection with Faraday and others he deliberately mentioned did not arouse the interest of those former members.

After all, when these former members were studying, the Apostolic Society was still a purely literary society, and the status of natural science was still too low.

If Xu Yun is allowed to rate it himself.

If the full score is 100, it is probably between 60-65.

After the interviewees have made their introductions, the real highlight comes.

Rossetti took out a letter, tore off the seal, and took out a piece of parchment.

He gently spread out the parchment, coughed lightly, and said:

"Angels, apostles, and the seven interviewees."

"The next thing I want to announce is the talent question for this interview."

"This topic is the result of a joint discussion and decision by many seniors. The content is"

"In an hour's time, in the style of a Spencerian sonnet, to compose a poem in praise of Henry John Temple, Foreign Secretary."

Henry John Temple.

Hearing this name, there was a burst of discussion at the table.

Twittering, it looks so lively.

After a few seconds.

Lao Tang, who was sitting next to Rossetti, suddenly raised his hand and said:

"President Rossetti, sorry to interrupt."

There was a glint of gloom in Rossetti's eyes, and he turned to Lao Tang and asked:

"Student Thomson, do you have any questions?"

Lao Tang glanced at the letter paper in his hand, then at Tennyson, and said:

"President Rossetti, the original intention of the establishment of the Cambridge Apostolic Society was to stay away from politics and to become a secret society free from mundane things."

"But Mr. Temple's identity is... so today's interview topic, isn't it a little bit inappropriate?"

Lao Tang originally wanted to say that he violated his original intention, but after hesitating for a moment, he changed it to a more euphemistic way of expression.

As soon as Lao Tang asked this question, the atmosphere at the table gradually became depressed.

Among them, several former apostles twisted their bodies even more, with vaguely uncomfortable expressions on their expressions.

However, just when Lao Tang was about to speak again.

From Tennyson's left hand, there suddenly came a somewhat hoarse voice, the tone of which could be confused with an elder of the Soul Palace in a fantasy novel:

"Student Thomson, I don't agree with you."

Xu Yun followed the trend and looked.

The speaker was a middle-aged man with short blond hair. His appearance was passable, but his eyes were a bit fierce.

I saw this person put down the wine glass in his hand, casually picked up a piece of raw meat with a fork, and gently turned it in front of him, letting the blood flow down the handle of the fork to his hand:

"Mr. Henry John Temple was a well-known politician, but a generous schoolman, and wrote such a beautiful work as the "Song of Rimora"."

"He is the pride of Cambridge University. We praise him as a junior. What does it have to do with politics? Thomson, your vision is still too narrow."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and added another sentence:

"Mr. Angel, think about your own identity. Sometimes it's a very smart way to know how to shut up."

finished.

The blond middle-aged man stuffed the fork into his mouth.

His cheeks fluttered a few times, and a stream of scarlet blood slid from the corner of his mouth onto the dinner plate.

"you"

Hearing the condescending words of the blond man, Lao Tang was obviously a little angry, but was tightly pressed by Stanley beside him.

See this situation.

A flash of understanding flashed in Xu Yun's heart.

The language of the blond middle-aged man was too aggressive, with a hint of superior scrutiny.

Generally speaking, even if there is a disagreement, it is not enough to say such sharp and harsh words in the current public occasion.

In addition, judging from this person's seating position, he is probably a member of the Apostles Society who graduated early, and his status is at least among the top three and top four.

So no surprises.

This blond middle-aged man is probably the culprit for Lao Tang's exclusion in the agency.

"alright!"

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Tennyson in the first place spoke:

"Clement, your tone is a bit too much. The Apostle Society is not an office where you reprimand your subordinates."

Then he looked at Lao Tang again, organized his words, and said slowly:

"Student Thomson, the test questions this time are the result of joint review by many former apostles. Can you understand me when I say this?"

Lao Tang was silent for a moment, his eyes kept fluctuating, and finally he took a deep breath:

"I am sorry, Mr Tennyson."

Tennyson waved his hand at him, turned around, and said to Rossetti:

"In that case, student Rossetti, distribute paper and pens to these seven students."

Rossetti nodded, took out several sets of paper and pens from a small box, and prepared to distribute them to everyone.

However, at this moment.

The end of the table.

After Lao Tang interrupted, an untimely voice sounded at the scene for the second time:

"Sorry, Mr. Tennyson, President Rossetti, I choose to abstain."

I choose to abstain.

These few words are like the selected comment method of later generations. In less than half a second, the entire banquet scene became silent.

Even Tennyson, a great poet who was a little sentimental all day long, looked a little astonished at this moment.

He followed the speaker.

I saw it at the end of the dining table.

The young man from the east was holding his right hand high calmly and firmly, holding his pillar up to the sky.

It is clear.

He is the abstainer.

Facing the surprised and strange gazes of the people around him, Xu Yun's expression was very calm.

Henry John Temple.

In fact, when he heard this name, doubts arose in his heart:

Why is this person?

He had gotten a hint from Bruch before that he knew that some upper-level figures might be involved in the talent link of this interview.

But in Xu Yun's mind.

The so-called 'upper class' is nothing more than three possibilities:

Prince Albert, Queen Victoria, or then Prime Minister John Russell, which is the current Big Three in British politics.

But the clinker came out unexpectedly, and the candidate given by Rossetti was actually Henry John Temple?

To know.

When the object of praise becomes this person, what is involved is not the question of how many manuscripts have been prepared, but the

National blood debt!

The first time Xu Yun came into contact with this name in the dungeon was after the night attack on the Danfries outpost.

At that time, Lao Tang got the news.

Henry John Temple will go to Danfries Post himself to discuss the attack with the Scottish side.

Henry John Temple's full name was Henry John Temple Palmerston, or he was called Palmerston.

He served as foreign minister for three terms from 1830 to 1834, 1835 to 1841, and 1846 to 1851.

And served as the British Prime Minister between 1855-1858 and 1859-1865.

The famous saying "There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests" came from this man.

He was the most famous imperialist during England's Second Empire, and pursued a policy of internal conservatism and external expansion.

As for why Xu Yun was upset with him, he even said that it involved ethnic hatred

Just look at his 'accomplishments':

He launched the war between the first crow and the second crow, and personally ordered the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At the same time, it also provoked the Crimean War and suppressed the Indian national uprising.

In addition, he also supported the Southern Slavery Group during the Civil War across the sea.

This is a representative of outright militarism.

Also worth mentioning.

When launching a crow, the British House of Commons once held a discussion on whether to start a war.

In the end, the British House of Commons passed the proposal of sending an expeditionary force to the mainland and taking "military retaliation" with 271 votes in favor and 262 votes against.

And in this round of voting.

More than 130 votes in favor came from the persuasion of Henry John Temple, who was really behind the scenes.

Indeed.

Maybe he didn't kill as many people as Grant, the foreign gun team captain, and even if you searched through his resume, he couldn't find any record of killing people.

But the crimes he committed were no less than Grant's.

Again.

Xu Yun didn't have the slightest liking for the corrupt regime in the East in 1850, and he would not consider extending his life for even half a second.

But this does not mean that he will have a good impression of those historical invaders, let alone write eulogies for them.

Therefore, when he heard that the object of praise was Henry John Temple, Xu Yun was ready to abstain.

in this copy.

When encountering matters involving Henry John Temple, Xu Yun would at most avoid and ignore them. It would be best if he could dig a hole for him.

But want Xu Yun to sing his praises?

Sorry, the funeral song is more or less the same.

The ancients said.

A man can do something and not do something, he knows what he can do and does it.

There's just one thing Xu Yun can't figure out no matter how hard he thinks:

Why did the entrance interview of the Cambridge Apostolic Society write a hymn to such a foreign minister?

Doesn't his personality seem high enough?

In fact, what Xu Yun didn't know was.

Follow the historical trajectory.

This question would really become an interview question for the Apostles Club in 1853.

The reason is plain and simple:

At this day and age, Henry John Temple's chances of becoming Prime Minister are high.

There is a saying.

My enemy is the bandit, he is the hero.

In the eyes of the British in 1850, Henry John Temple was indeed a leader who could bring them benefits.

Since the establishment of the Cambridge Apostolic Society, many members have entered the British political arena and are expected to achieve some achievements in the House of Commons.

in this case.

Some former members secretly reached a consensus:

Let's sing hymns to Henry John Temple and see if we can catch him?

think about it.

Societies of the level of the Cambridge University Apostolic Society regard Henry John Temple as an idol, which is not a small political gift.

In the face of these old members, even Tennyson was not very good at raising objections - after all, this proposal had no interests for Tennyson himself, but there was no loss or harm.

It is still the original historical track.

The vote of the Cambridge department did play a big role in Henry John Temple's eventual success as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

This is actually quite normal, after all, it is 1850.

People like Lao Tang, Mai La, Aveline and even Bruch are actually a minority.

Especially for those Cambridge students who have graduated, it may be better not to enter politics, and few of them are clean.

Alright, back to reality.

A few seconds after Xu Yun issued the declaration of abstaining from voting, everyone came back to their senses one after another, and the whole dining table suddenly boiled up:

"Abstain? Did I hear correctly?"

"It's ridiculous, it's disrespectful! Is the interview at the Apostles' Club a place where you just come and go as soon as you say it?"

"how dare you???"

The man with gold spectacles sitting on Xu Yun's right moved his seat quickly, leaving Xu Yun's side as if avoiding the plague.

Bruch heyed in a low voice, with a serious tone:

"Hey, Luo Feng, are you crazy? This is the interview site of the Apostle Club! Do you know what you are doing??"

Looking at this German who was not in a hurry to separate himself from him at this time, Xu Yun felt a slight warmth in his heart,

However, his attitude was still firm, and he sighed and said:

"Sorry, Bruch, there are some things I can't explain to you too clearly, but I have to do it now."

be honest.

If Xu Yun wrote some random content to cope with the interview, leaving the scene with a score of the bottom few, theoretically, it is a pretty good way to exit.

But be it.

Xu Yun has a problem:

Congenital mental cleanliness, especially at the national and ethnic level.

Just like when he wrote novels in his previous life, the background of a volume of stories also happened in 1850.

He would rather spend a few hours looking for very remote information than to let those villains stained with the blood of Chinese civilians have the opportunity to be mistakenly let go and appear in his book as innocent characters.

In fact, Xu Yun also understands that this is a bit too serious.

But if you don’t do this, the hurdles in your heart will be difficult to overcome.

This interview is also true.

You ask Xu Yun to advocate Henry John Temple with no matter how simple the sentence is, he still can't do it when he puts pen to paper.

As for handing in blank papers.

Is that different from abstention?

So after thinking about it, Xu Yun decided to make a fuss.

And in the first place.

Looking at the many members who were excited, Tennyson rubbed his temples a little irritably:

The meeting of the Apostles Club has not happened for more than ten years. As a result, at the important moment when Harlem joined the club today, why did an abstainer appear?

Then he took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and gestured around:

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet!"

Then he stood up and looked at Xu Yun with serious eyes:

"Student Luo Feng, can you give me a reason to abstain?"

Xu Yun had a fairly good impression of Tennyson, so he decided to tell the truth:

"I am sorry, Mr. Tennyson, but I have so much disagreement with Mr. Temple about right and wrong that I cannot write a hymn to him."

"Right and wrong?"

Tennyson was slightly taken aback, but quickly nodded:

"I understand. In this case, student Luo Feng, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave here."

Xu Yun already had a premonition about this, stood up resolutely upon hearing this, and said to Tennyson:

"I am sorry, Mr Tennyson."

"I don't know if you believe it, but I really didn't intend to cause trouble for this party."

After he finished speaking, he patted Bruch on the shoulder, gave Lao Tang an apologetic look, and planned to leave the room.

Yet he hadn't taken a few steps.

A somewhat familiar hoarse male voice came from behind:

"You lowly Oriental, get out of here!"

Hear this sentence.

Xu Yun paused slightly, but continued to walk out.

But soon.

This person also said:

"Hey, boy from the East, when the gate of the East is blasted open by the Empire, I hope that your compatriots will be as tough as you—by the way, Senior Tennyson, I heard that Mr. Temple intends to promote the attack on the East, is our Apostolic Society Can you do something?" (Note: This is the real story of Su Benchao, the first Cambridge student in China, who was close to the invasion of China by eight countries, but the targets were not Temple and Tennyson, and everyone knows the final result. So don’t spray dog ​​blood.)
