Into Unscientific

Chapter 240 Cambridge Life from Scratch (2) (5.2K)

In 2022 before Xu Yun traveled.

Speaking of the four words Cambridge University.

The subconscious reactions of most people are estimated to be "top ten in the world", "been out of Newton Hawking", "rigorous academic research", "tied with Oxford" and so on.

But in fact.

While the University of Cambridge has trained many well-known scientists, it has also produced a large number of writers and philosophers.

Such as Byron, Tennyson, William Wordsworth, John Fletcher, Francis Bacon, John Treighton, Charles Kingsley, etc.

As for those who engage in literature?

Everyone should know more or less that the brain circuit is often more strange. Keke, special.

They often do some unreasonable things to show their personality or express certain emotions.

This practice has a proper name in later generations:

Performance Art.

Especially when those people are young, performance art is almost like the question mark on Yasuo's head, and it is always with him day and night.

This is how the word Wenqing came about.

Cambridge is rich in literary genes, and such people are naturally indispensable.

Take Edmund Spencer, for example.

This gentleman was born in 1552 and is recognized as one of the great poets of the English Renaissance.

The Spencer style he created is equivalent to the British seven-character verse or seven-character quatrains in a sense, and has become a famous poetic style.

The great poet is also one of the well-known alumni of Cambridge University, where he studied literature, philosophy and some natural sciences.

At that time, the number of students enrolled at the University of Cambridge was a little smaller than it is now, about a hundred people a year.

But the status is almost the same as it is now.

At the same time, Cambridge University is a college born under the background of theology. There are only eight churches in the school, and the Bible is a must-have.

under such circumstances.

The teachers and students of Cambridge University have extremely high requirements on clothing and etiquette, and they should not be overstepped in the slightest on weekdays.

As a result, Edmund Spencer's head suddenly twitched one day, and he had a particularly characteristic idea:

its not right.

The Holy Son was born in a manger when he came to the mortal world, and he did not enjoy much happiness until he was crucified.

Looking at the whole life, at most it is anointed with oil by a woman.

That being the case

As seminarians, what qualifications do we have to keep our bodies clean?

Ever since.

Edmund Spencer found a few friends who were also young and educated. They didn't take a bath or put on clothes for a whole month. Afterwards, they sang hymns at the school gate naked and smeared with sheep's blood.

Later, Edmund Spencer's actions also led to a famous saying of Trinity College, which was engraved on the entrance of the Trinity College Library:

The body can be dirty, but the mind must be pure.

further back.

In Cambridge, a tradition of "stinky" suddenly emerged.

In the beginning, this work was actually done in underwear. Later, another literary youth, John Milton, came to update the version:

The Son was barefoot when he went to Golgotha ​​to be crucified, so let's use socks for comparison.

The smellier his socks are, the farther he has traveled on the 'Road of the Cross'.

Can be a 'saint'.

This habit has even been retained until 2022, and some students have always insisted on this selection.

However, Xu Yun lived in Catered (120 pounds a week T.T) in the partner's garden at Cambridge University, so he never had the opportunity to experience this custom.

Right now, those students are obviously selecting 'saints'. No wonder Avelyn told Xu Yun and Mai Mai not to be too surprised after seeing certain things.

In addition, it may be due to too much investment.

These people did not notice the appearance of Avelyn and her party, but were still excitedly conducting the appraisal.

One of the greasy-headed young men with Snape's hairstyle was holding a gray sock, put it in front of him, took a few deep breaths, and exclaimed:

"8 points!"

Then another person took the socks and sniffed them in the same fascination:

"8.5!"

Then came the third and fourth.

"9 points!"

"8 points!"

See this situation.

Mai Mai's eyelids twitched a few times, looking at Xu Yun, the meaning was obvious:

"Is it too late to drop out now?"

Xu Yun shrugged innocently at him:

"What do you think?"

Mai Mai sighed resignedly.

at the same time.

The boys not far away finally spotted the people standing around the corner.

After seeing Thomson among them.

The greasy-haired young man with Snape's hairstyle suddenly lit up, and rushed over waving his socks:

"Senior Thomson, you are finally here. It's a pity that you didn't participate this year!"

I heard this.

Xu Yun and Mai Mai were taken aback for a moment, and then moved a few steps towards Avelyn together.

Thomson: "."

However, Wheat quickly thought of something again, her neck stiffened, and she asked Avelyn with a dry smile:

"That. Aveline-senpai, you won't be participating."

Evelyn shook her head:

"I don't participate in these."

Only then did Mai let out a sigh of relief, and took another half step towards Avelyn.

Thomson continued:

"."

After the young man with oily hair and long hair came to his side.

Thomson dismissed the idea of ​​a hug, and nodded at the man:

"Well, I just went back to school."

After speaking, he patted Mai Mai on the shoulder and introduced:

"This is Maxwell, a newly recruited undergraduate student at Trinity College, enjoying postgraduate treatment."

"This is Luo Feng, a first-year student at Trinity College, and also Maxwell's roommate."

"As for this female classmate, don't I need to introduce you?"

When the young man saw this, he immediately smiled:

"Of course not, Evelyn Escue, of course I know her."

Then he cast a curious look at Maimai, and asked tentatively:

"Maxwell? Is that the fee reduction student?"

Mai Mai looked at the socks in his hand and nodded dryly.

Seeing this, the young man suddenly became interested, changed his socks to his left hand, and enthusiastically extended his right hand:

"Jones Bird, a second-year graduate student in chemistry at Emmanuel College, nice to meet you."

Mai Mai hesitated for a moment, but still suppressed the discomfort and shook hands with him lightly.

Seeing Jones Bode enthusiastically patting the shoulders and rubbing hair with Mai Mai, Xu Yun's heart suddenly tugged - this guy still holds the sock in his left hand, and this stuff is in the anime Finally had to add a bunch of black lines representing the smell.

at the same time.

There was also a sense of déjà vu when Harry Potter first appeared in the wizarding world in his mind:

The passers-by in the movie, like Jones Bird, were taken aback after seeing Harry Potter's lightning mark (knowing wheat's identity as a fee-reduction student).

Then he opened his mouth and said a long-awaited name.

Think far, think far

Xu Yun shook his head, and began to think seriously about the name Jones Bird, and soon found that he had no memory of this person.

Indeed.

There are many possibilities that the memory cannot be found, and it does not necessarily mean that this person will be lost to everyone in this life.

For example, this person later changed to another field for development, or only made a small achievement, was not well-known but lived a good life, and so on.

But at least professionally speaking.

This Jones Bode did not reach the level of 'celebrity' in chemistry.

Of course.

This is actually the norm:

Today’s Cambridge University certainly has historical celebrities, and there are even a lot of them, but more of them are ordinary people like Jones Broad.

After greeting with wheat.

Jones Bird looked at the other people behind him again, waved and said:

"Hey, come here, come here, a genius has come to our dormitory!"

"Who is who?"

The rest of the people immediately came over, and they were very excited after learning of Mai Mai's identity:

"My name is Yelkat Kessler, a second-year graduate student at Gonville and Caius College."

"Cesar Anthony Zeppelin."

"Yamcha Kling"

At the same time, it may be affected by wheat.

These people were not too indifferent when facing Xu Yun, and some of them even intended to shake hands with Xu Yun.

However, these actions were all rejected by Xu Yun on the grounds that he had an injury on his shoulder.

do not forget.

There is still a large piece of bandage on Xu Yun's left shoulder, which is very convincing.

As for the real reason inside.

Only Xu Yun and Mai Mai knew about it.

After some courtesy.

Avelyn took Xu Yun and Mai to leave in the friendly farewell of Jones Bird and the others, and found their room.

302 is located at the end of the aisle, and belongs to the innermost part of the aisle as 301.

Avelyn took out a large set of keys like a charter woman for later generations, and searched for them a few times according to the marked numbers:

"302313 found, 302!"

I saw Aveline stabbing the long, pointed, hard object into the black hole. At first, there was some resistance, but soon it didn't even get in.

Then she twisted slightly again.

Click——

The door swung open.

This is a small bungalow of more than 20 square meters, with a standard European style. As soon as you enter the door, you can see two combined beds with upper and lower tables.

However, compared with the more common 1.9×0.9 bed type in China, the upper and lower tables of Cambridge University are larger.

Probably the size of 1.5X2.2.

In addition, the thickness of the bed board is much thicker than domestic ones, and it is covered with a velvet blanket, so turning around basically does not make too much noise.

The floor of the dormitory is covered with gorgeous carpets, judging from the color, it should not have been long since it was laid.

Even judging from the perspective of Xu Yun's previous life, this is a very high-standard dormitory.

Avelyn led several people in, and introduced at the same time:

"This is your dormitory for the next four years. The room is equipped with a separate toilet, bathroom and kitchen, but there is no bathtub."

"There is a fireplace on the wall, and there are light switches at the entrance and beside the bed. Remember to turn them off when you go out."

"If you are found to be wasting electricity for no reason, even if you are a fee reduction student, you will be punished."

"In addition, 301 on the opposite side is Senior Thomson's dormitory. On the surface, he was not assigned a roommate because of the odd number, but in fact it was because of his apostle status, and the college made a special arrangement."

"So when you are free, you can go and see this widowed senior, lest he suffer from mental problems—his facial paralysis is almost in the late stage."

Mai nodded obediently.

Thomson:

"."

"Oh, right."

Then Avelyn thought of something again, and said to Xu Yun:

"Student Maxwell is a fee reduction student, so he does not need to pay the dormitory rent."

"But you are a standard graduate student, so you have to pay rent of 1.5 pounds per month, including vacation time, and pay half a year's amount at a time."

Xu Yun looked very calm this time:

"No problem, I remember."

9 pounds for half a year, the gold he brought with him alone is enough for this figure.

Then Avelyn briefly explained some things to Xu Yun and Mai Mai, and then left.

But when she walked to the door, her brows were slightly frowned again.

After hesitating for a moment, she said to Xu Yun again:

"Student Luo Feng, don't take that IOU too seriously, I won't press you for money."

"Your foundation is very shallow, it's better to spend as much time as possible on study."

"If you study hard in four years, you should still be able to learn something. Don't embarrass Mr. Fat Fish too much."

Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and there was a faint warmth in his heart:

"I see, classmate Avelyn."

Avelyn didn't speak, and hugged the "Classical Mechanics" to her chest again.

Raising her hair with her left hand, she turned around and disappeared outside the door.

After Avelyn left, Thomson patted Xu Yun on the shoulder and said:

"Aveline has always been a kind-hearted girl. She was very famous when she was an undergraduate student, and she may be selected as 'this child' early next year."

Xu Yun blinked and blurted out:

"This son?"

Thomson looked at him in surprise for a few seconds, then asked:

"Why, you don't know?"

"When Mr. Fat Fish met Sir Newton back then, he once said that people like Sir Newton were called 'this boy', and they were often described as 'horrible'."

"Later, Sir Newton recorded this matter in his autobiography, so apart from a small secret group like the Apostles Society, Cambridge University's recognized student selection is 'this boy'."

"Cambridge University selects 'this child' once every two years, and each time there are three places, which are decided by the votes of the professors of the whole school."

"In addition, at the awarding ceremony of 'this son', all Cambridge students will hold ice cubes in their mouths and take a deep breath at the same time to show their shock."

Xu Yun: "????"
