Chapter 1127 What a Broken Rule
It is very obvious that Lucia Thompson is a female defender. Han Li is very interested in this kind of thing, because all of this can be recorded in the materials he handed in when he returned to China.
These seemingly insignificant materials are of no use to Han Li, but in the hands of the country's staff, secretaries, and wise men, they may be able to play a great role at any time.
Therefore, Han Li not only showed great indignation about this matter, but also gave Lucia Thompson verbal support.
When the two chatted for a while, Han Li said that he would also help collect some materials in this regard, and asked the other party to mail him a copy of the materials that did not involve her thesis when he had time, and he wanted to contribute to this matter.
Regardless of the country, most people spoke without restraint after drinking, and they were more casual, and they all wanted to show off their connections and sources in front of new friends.
Han Li heard a lot of stories at the dance, most of which were not seen in newspapers and magazines.
In short, tonight's dance was successful and perfect. For Han Li, it not only broadened his horizons, but also allowed him to hear a lot of news that others could not touch.
After the dance, Han Li returned to the room and asked Zhang Manyu to take a shower. He quickly sorted out the useful news he heard and recorded it.
After Han Li did all this, the next thing was the dance that belonged to the two of them.
The next day, when Han Li came back from practicing boxing and martial arts outside, Zhang Manyu was still sleeping.
This is inevitable, and there is no way to do it.
Who made Han Li a vegetarian for so many days? Now he can finally eat meat, so he must make up for the shortcomings of these days.
After breakfast, the female companions went to the beach to play and visit the manor under the guidance of the staff.
And Han Li and his people gathered together to officially kick off this seminar.
This kind of private seminar does not have so many rules, and everyone does not need to stand up and speak seriously to express their views.
They only need to sit in their respective seats, while tasting the tea and various snacks prepared by the staff, while expressing their thoughts on this topic.
Around 10:30 in the morning, the owner of the manor, Joseph Richardson, came with his wife.
Although Joseph did not have any title, he always regarded himself as a member of the English royal family, and he was full of aristocratic airs and style.
Joseph wore a suit from the last century in England, a vest, leather shoes, a hat, a golden pocket watch, and a civilized staff inlaid with gold and gems in his hand.
(If you don’t know what this suit looks like, you can take a look at the suit that the Prime Minister of the Little Red Dot wore on important occasions. That was made based on the English suit of the last century.)
Joseph’s wife wore the latest Hobskirt, which was also decorated with some jewels and tassels.
She wore a very distinctive hat on her head, which was also decorated with many gems and silk flowers, and a mask like a large hole fishing net, covering the part above her nose.
She wore a whole set of gem jewelry on her neck, ears, and hands. I don’t know if it was made by a famous master, but this set is very eye-catching.
Joseph and his wife first welcomed everyone to come to his manor to hold this seminar. After listening to everyone's self-introduction, he asked his wife to arrange lunch.
(According to the habits of the nobles in England, the dishes for the banquet, the types of afternoon tea, and cakes all need to be arranged by the wife.)
Joseph briefly said that he and many people in the House of Lords expected that England and Kent could restore the reputation of "the garden of England".
But this wish was opposed by some short-sighted people (beneficiaries), so Han Li and his academic exchange meeting were held.
Joseph did not say the rest, and the fifteen of them understood everything after hearing this.
But Han Li still had one thing in his mind that he did not understand. This was a good job. During the period, he could enjoy England's current top food and wine, well-trained maid service, and aristocratic enjoyment.
The most important thing was that the expenses incurred by their field research would be settled by Joseph's butler as long as they produced the receipts. There was too much water in it, and those who understood would understand.
Such a good thing, such a simple thing.
Why all the tutors, including Professor Rand Swanson, did not attend the event was very strange.
Han Li did not believe in the words that these tutors were indifferent to fame and fortune, regarded money as dirt, and supported students.
You should know that there are rich and poor tutors in England. Among the fifteen tutors, there may be wealthy and virtuous ones, but no fool would believe that they were all like this.
But why is this? Is there something he didn't know?
Han Li stared at Joseph in front of him, who had a stern face, retro clothes, and a serious face, and fell into deep thought.
During this period, Joseph showed off his English royal blood.
He also said that his grandfather was the second son of the Grand Duke at that time. Because of the rules of inheritance of the eldest line, their family got almost no property when they were divided.
(The eldest line is the English term, which is the direct line, the eldest son and the eldest grandson in our country.)
Joseph said that their family now owns more than a dozen manors, three or four castles bought from other nobles, and the Indian Farm and the mines in South Africa are all the result of the hard work of their three generations.
Such a large family business did not receive any help from the eldest branch, and Joseph described their three generations as an inspirational model.
During the period, Joseph also said in a mocking tone that the eldest branch of their family had recently declined, and in recent years, even the expenses of maintaining the castle were almost gone.
It is just around the corner for their family to get back the title of the eldest branch and the corresponding title.
When Joseph said this, everyone present followed suit and flattered for a while, making the host's old-fashioned face show a smug smile.
At this time, Joseph's wife had already arranged the kitchen. She came over and said something to Joseph and went back to the room to change clothes.
Seeing this situation, Han Li thought that everyone would go to the restaurant after Mrs. Joseph changed her clothes.
However, what Han Li did not expect was that Mrs. Joseph took more than 40 minutes to change a set of clothes.
After such a long time, Han Li thought that the other party had gone to find a lover to relax.
After Mrs. Joseph changed her clothes, Han Li thought that they should go to the restaurant for dinner this time.
But Han Li did not expect that at this time, Joseph's housekeeper secretly told Han Li and others who were still waiting for dinner that they also had to go back to the room to change into formal clothes before the banquet could begin.
Han Li almost cursed after hearing this request. How could guests be required to change clothes before dinner? If there were no spare clothes, would they not be allowed to eat?
However, seeing that Joseph and his wife looked a little unhappy, it should be that there was a problem with their etiquette, so the housekeeper came to inform them.
Han Li returned to his room and changed his clothes with the help of Zhang Manyu. Finally, thinking about the situation just now, he did not let Zhang Manyu attend the banquet.
