Mrs. Hemstrasse's position in London is actually quite embarrassing. Although she is a noble, she is a Dutch noble. Recommended: Mao Ni's new work: "The Great Way to the Sky" http://www./3_3439/ Then she believes in Catholicism, not the Protestantism of the United Kingdom, so she will naturally be excluded.

More importantly, she has been married twice, which can be said to be a great humiliation for a woman in the upper class in this era.

So she knew very well that she could not integrate into the upper class of the UK, even though she was not obviously discriminated against now, but after attending the banquet several times and not even receiving an invitation, it was enough to prove that she could not be accepted.

Audrey is different. She is young and beautiful and has a gentle personality. Although she seems to have lost the face of a noble because she appears and becomes the spokesperson for perfume, she finds a respected husband.

Although Zhou Nan was an oriental man and had no titles, his talent was enough to make up for all this. Ordinary nobles were not as powerful as Zhou Nan's influence and respected.

So Mrs. Hemstrasse placed all her hopes on Audrey, and she wisely did not squeeze into that circle, but instead aimed at the scholars' circle of family members.

Those scholars are not young anymore, and their wives are not young either. Toynbee's fiancée Veronica is only ten years younger than her, and Russell's fourth lover whom he is now obsessed with is not young at all.

Audrey is too young to help Zhou Nan maintain such a wife diplomacy, but she is more suitable.

During this time in London, she became close to the families of scholars. She helped Zhou Nan maintain a network of relationships in the scholar circle and did a very good job.

But Zhou Nan actually did not realize this help, and he had not even considered maintaining a closer relationship with these scholars.

In another life, he lived alone all his life, and was used to taking everything himself, and was not used to establishing a close friend relationship with others.

But Mrs. Hemstrasse understood, let Nord understand, and Etinny understood. They helped Zhou Nan pick up the void without regrets and maintained social communication outside of academics.

Even though Zhou Nan did not feel this convenience now, if he lost this help, he would realize it.

The convoy followed the a40 road all the way to the northwest. After bypassing Oxford, the flat fields turned into rolling hills, and the surrounding scenery became more and more beautiful.

Under the sunset, the various flowers, leaves of different colors, and greens of different shades are like beautiful oil paintings.

If we are purely in terms of natural scenery, the scenery here is far inferior to Switzerland. But unlike Switzerland, in addition to natural scenery, it also has a rich cultural history. Various small towns with hundreds of years of history are common, making people feel like they have returned to hundreds of years ago.

Now is the season for barley to mature, and agricultural development in Britain had already formed farming in the late 19th century. After decades of development, primary industrial planting has been formed.

Often, you can see tractors emitting black smoke harvesting large tracts of barley in the farmland that is fenced like a garden.

This kind of scenery is hard to see in Switzerland, because apart from the Lake Geneva region in the southwest, there are few large areas of land where crops can be grown, and basically they are mainly pastures.

Before it got dark, the car arrived at the small town of Berford in central England. After about five kilometers, it met Sir Crete who had been sent to wait for them.

Under his leadership, he walked around a village road and slowly drove into a courtyard made of gray stones in the night.

Sir Crete was once a diplomat and worked in Geneva for nearly ten years. He was granted a jazz status by the King of England when he retired.

According to the British level, this is the lowest aristocratic level, but this is already satisfactory for Crete, who was originally a small landlord.

He worked in Geneva for nearly ten years and established very friendly relations with Jean Nord. When Zhou Nan and his team were in London, he also visited him and invited Zhou Nan and his team to visit him.

Today he received a call from Jean Nord, and he immediately prepared the whole family to entertain guests.

Zhou Nan and the others were treated very warmly. Although his home was not luxurious, Zhou Nan and the others lived in a 600-year-old bluestone ancient house.

Although the British cuisine was very unpalatable, Nord himself led the chef and they killed a sheep and a pig, specifically to entertain Zhou Nan and the others.

This pure rural style is something Zhou Nan and the others like very much. Since Zhou Nan was injured, he has never drunk alcohol. Today he has also relaxed the amount and drank half a bottle of whiskey they made at home.

At the bonfire party after dinner, Zhou Nan also performed his flute art with everyone, winning everyone's applause.

There was no academic discussion or intrigue. Zhou Nan's tense nerves since he came to the UK also completely relaxed.

Let Nord see Zhou Nan who was intoxicated by the blowing beside the bonfire, and laughed happily, secretly applauding his arrangement.

Since he came to the UK, Nord has discovered that Zhou Nan seemed to be under a lot of pressure. Although he has always been very calm on the surface, he always likes to frown alone when there is no one.

Living under such pressure for a long time can easily make people emotionally depressed or even lose control, so he thought of letting him leave London, where he felt depressed, and completely relax.

The next day, Zhou Nan slept until after eight o'clock before he woke up. There was no sound around him, and only the birds in the forest were chirping happily.

Crete's home was built in the 14th century. Of course, the only old houses that are still in use are the warehouse and the guest rooms of Zhou Nan and others. The remaining buildings were built one after another in the next few hundred years.

Although it was an old house six hundred years ago, it had been renovated and the doors and glass windows were replaced.

Lying on the bed and looking at the roof beams that have been around for six hundred years and the pieces of history-old bluestones, it makes people feel sad that they don’t know where they are.

Audrey woke up earlier than Zhou Nan, and stopped Melissa from letting her wake up Zhou Nan. Seeing Zhou Nan wake up, she happily took him to the well outside the house to wash.

It can also be seen from the scratches on the stone along the well that the history of this well is not short, but the wheel bracket on it is new.

The Wheel Water Well was obviously a fun toy in Melissa's eyes. She volunteered to help Zhou Nan fetch water. But she was too weak and could not shake it alone, so she also needed Audrey to make a move.

But this kind of activity obviously made her feel accomplished and didn't care about her own thighs and smiled very happily.

Zhou Nan also felt very relaxed. After washing up, he came to the kitchen next to the main house. Zhou Nan had no appetite, but at Audrey's request, he drank a bowl of oatmeal and ate a bread.

Melissa kept chattering, and soon reported everyone's whereabouts to Zhou Nan. A group of young and strong assistants rarely did farm work and were very interested in harvesting barley, so she went to help the masters work.

But Nord took the fishing rod to the river and fished. Mrs. Hemstrasse also got along well with the hostess and accompanied her to the city to buy vegetables.

"Mr. Crete's house is beautiful, you can visit it later in Yonas."

Zhou Nan looked up and saw that except for a few bluestone houses, there was a forest on the east side, and he could not see anything beautiful.

Audrey introduced: "We are located at about the westmost side, more than 200 meters from here to the eastmost side, and a north-south width of 100 meters, all the way to the riverside on the north side. The woods are very large and occupy about half of the area. Due to the walls and the woods are always wild, they raise many animals in the forest."

Melissa said excitedly: "There are also deer, they ask me for something to eat... but I have nothing to feed them..."

After breakfast, Zhou Nan took Audrey and Melissa out into the woods. There were walls on three sides here, and the Windrush River on the north side. The woods were completely wild, with only a few paths specially opened.

There are all kinds of animals in the woods, including rabbits, pheasants, pigs, deer, and a few nests of foxes. These animals are all stupid and are not afraid of people. When they see Zhou Nan and the others coming, they come over.

Melissa wanted to catch a fox at first, but when she hugged one, the stench made her almost spit it out. Zhou Nan and Audrey couldn't help laughing, and she immediately lost interest in the beautiful foxes.

When I arrived at the riverside, the river was not big, the water flowed slowly and was very calm. On the other side of the river, there were large areas of barley fields distributed on the undulating hills like chessboards.

When he came to the fishing fisherman, he had a good harvest. He had already lifted several green fish weighing three or four pounds. Zhou Nan didn't recognize this fish, nor did he know what kind of breed it was.

Seeing Zhou Nan coming, he gave up his small stool. Zhou Nan did not sit on the roots of a big tree on the shore.

"Although the scenery in Britain is not as good as that in Switzerland, our Switzerland is like a large and exquisite garden, lacking a rough historical precipitation. If your legs don't hurt, you can go to the village. The buildings here have hundreds of years of history and you can see the architectural styles of different periods of Britain."

Zhou Nan nodded, looked at the people who were doing farm work on the other side, and recalled the hard work he had worked in the fields in another life.

"Meyeri, do you like this pastoral life, too?"

Let Nord immediately shook his head and said, "I only like the bustle of the city. This kind of life is OK for me to live a day or two. After a long time, I will not be able to bear it."

"Then why do you think about coming here for vacation?"

Nord did not have the style of doing good deeds without leaving a name for himself. He wanted Zhou Nan to remember his good deeds. He put down his fishing rod and looked at Zhou Nan and said, "Jonas, since you came to the UK, you have put too much pressure on yourself. It is you who need to relax."
