There are many high-ranking officials and aristocrats today, but what Zhou Nan cares about most is people in academia. Because Zhou Nan's scholarship wants to be promoted, it is inseparable from the support of these people, and academic recognition is the basis for Zhou Nan to be recognized.

Moreover, the contact with these people is also Zhou Nan's willingness, and the academic discussion with them is far happier than the deceit with those politicians.

Let Nord watch Zhou Nan talk and laugh among the guests, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

This is a talent he is optimistic about, and he has lived up to his trust, and in a few months, he has reached the top of society.

A scholar who has been recognized by the international community is a stronger person who is more stable than a politician. With his care, his own Rang Nord family's wealth will definitely not be usurped after his death.

When Melissa grows up, even if she can't carry forward the Nord family, it will be enough to keep these wealth and pass on her bloodline.

Because it was a large-scale reception party, Zhou Nan entertained people from different walks of life at once, so today's party was not destined to last too long.

If there is only the aristocracy, there may be a dinner party and a ball later. If it's just the academic class, a small academic discussion will be scheduled later. If it is only the merchant class, these people will also be arranged to have a chance to communicate.

But Zhou Nan deliberately entertained several classes of people together, which saved a lot of effort, and when it was almost time for afternoon tea, everyone said goodbye one after another.

Although this banquet seemed to be a little unpleasant, Zhou Nan was not rude, and after coming to London, the people who had accepted help were invited back again. For him, a foreigner, such an arrangement is not close or estranged, and it is still very decent.

More importantly, it saves a lot of money.

Zhou Nan and Jean Nord, including Audrey and her mother and grandfather, had been at the gate of Kensington Palace Park, seeing off the guests one by one.

Although Zhou Nan didn't worry about specific affairs, he had to say different things in the face of different people. This kind of brain-draining entertainment is not what he is good at, and it makes him feel more tired than writing 10,000 words.

After sending off all the guests, Zhou Nan couldn't wait to go back to his room for a good rest. However, when they returned to the house, they found Marita and her maid playing a game of rope flipping with Melissa.

Zhou Nanden was very bored and asked Audrey softly: "Why didn't Marita leave?" ”

Audrey glanced at him and said softly: "She said that she was reluctant to let me go, and she wanted to accompany me today......"

"She shouldn't lack female companions......" Zhou Nan shook his head, obviously not thinking that this princess really liked Audrey. I went straight back to my room and called me again at dinner. ”

Audrey smiled, helped him twist a grass clip off his shoulder, and threw it into the trash can next to him. "Go and rest, and let me deal with her. In fact, she is just a little girl who has not grown up, except for some ego, she has no other bad habits. ”

Hearing her words, Zhou Nan also felt that his impression of her was a little biased because of preconceived preconceptions!

No matter what time it is, there will be no shortage of girls with princess disease, not to mention, this is just a real princess who has just turned sixteen.

In addition to her education since childhood, she is used to being self-centered, and on weekdays, her personality is still very good.

Even borrowing her fame to promote the Hepburn brand, she did not shirk and personally came forward to promote it.

And she is also smart and studious, and has a high appreciation for art. For such a girl, even Audrey understands her, why should she always have a knot in her heart because she once snatched Audrey's clothes!

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan's heart knot was also untied, and he didn't avoid it directly, preparing to say hello to her before going to rest.

Seeing Zhou Nan and Audrey walking in side by side, Marita smiled at them and continued to flip the rope with Melissa. This kind of rope seems to be available in both the East and the West, and two or more girls use their fingers to turn a rope into various shapes.

Melissa and Marita were very excited, and under the guidance of the female officer, they had a lot of fun.

Seeing Marita smiling as innocently as Melissa, Zhou Nan had to admit that he was really harsh on her before.

She's still a kid......

Zhou Nan greeted her, and when she was about to go back to the room, she stopped Zhou Nan. "Jonas, I love both your Sound of Silence and Castle in the Sky. I'd like to get your permission to perform in public for non-profit purposes in the future, is that okay? ”

"Of course, if it were you, I wouldn't mind even if it was a for-profit show."

That being said, how could he, a princess, perform profitably? It's a big deal to attend some charity galas, attend as a princess, and then play a tune or two to raise funds.

She also knew that Zhou Nan was joking, but she enjoyed Zhou Nan's closeness to her as a friend. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have made an appointment with Audrey that I will go skiing in Switzerland in winter, can I stay at your house then?" ”

"As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess does not dislike our home is simple, this is our honor."

"Okay, then, Audrey said that you are ready to build a new house, and it should have been built by then, right?"

Zhou Nan looked at Audrey, and she smiled and nodded. Zhou Nan also said with a smile: "I will urge to speed up the construction progress, and before Christmas, it will definitely be completed." ”

She giggled and smiled to Audrey: "I'll be attending some events for Christmas and New Year, and in January, I'll leave for Switzerland." ”

Audrey said gently: "We will also make arrangements to receive Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

She pursed her lips and said, "Audrey, you have violated the law again, and you have said that in private, you will call me Marita." "As soon as the style of painting changed, she became a little sad." But you're leaving tomorrow, and I'm a little reluctant now. ”

The female officer smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, the short separation is for the reunion, and thinking that you will meet again in a few months will be full of anticipation, which is also a pleasure." ”

But her explanation did not let the two girls go, but they were a little sentimental. Melissa, who was less than eight years old, didn't understand this yet, and laughed a little heartlessly.

Zhou Nan no longer bothered about the communication between the two girls, and said goodbye and left. I went back to my bedroom, but I couldn't sleep for a while.

Etinny had returned to Switzerland with a set of manuscripts, and now that there was no one around him to supervise every day, Zhou Nan was a little unaccustomed to it.

Lying in bed, he reflected on his experience of coming to England for more than a month. It was here that he completed the second volume of the General History of the World, completed the analysis of Humanitarianism, and laid his own academic foundation in English-speaking countries.

More importantly, he has sown a seed in British politics that has led them to change their policy in Asia, moving them from passive to proactive.

This transformation has also improved the living environment of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, and there may be unexpected surprises.

Although he was involved because of this, Zhou Nan did not regret it at all. It's just that he has achieved this goal, and he feels that he has not lived in vain.

After lying down for a while, Zhou Nan fell asleep in a daze, but soon woke up again. He looked at his watch, and it had only been more than half an hour, and he even had some doubts that he had fallen asleep.

But by this time he had no sleep, so he simply got up again and went to the window to look at the lush park outside.

The hustle and bustle of noon seemed to have been a long time ago, and he seemed to have been immersed in a lonely world for a long, long time. Standing at this window, looking at the outside world, there is another passerby-like mood breeding.

This feeling that everyone in the world is drunk and I am alone makes Zhou Nan enjoy it very much, although his person is still standing at the window, but it seems to be about to float, and he can't feel his body.

At this moment, he thought of many things that would happen in the future, and many of the originally vague memories became clear at this time.

He seems to have a clearer understanding of the future......

Because of his appearance, the butterfly effect brought about by it, which triggered changes in the world. But this change is still expected by Zhou Nan, and he can also have a clear judgment and coping strategy.

There has never been a moment like the present, and he is confident in the future.

The contradictions between European countries, the contradictions between Europe and the United States, the contradictions in political and economic aspects. Originally, this chaotic situation was a mess in everyone's eyes, but Zhou Nan seemed to be able to see the clear context.

He suddenly became interested in playing the bamboo flute, turned around and took off his flute bag from the wall, took out a bamboo flute, took out the inner tank, and stood at the window and began to play.

The distant music sounded slowly, and the tune of "Farewell" spread to the entire villa, and all the noise that was still there disappeared, and the surroundings were quiet.

The time outside seemed to freeze all of a sudden, and only the sound of the flute played by Zhou Nan remained between heaven and earth.

Marita was still discussing winter skiing with Audrey, when she suddenly heard the melodious sound of the flute, and her heart seemed to be touched at once, and she closed her mouth.

Until the music stopped, she looked at Audrey, who was still immersed in the music, and suddenly felt a hint of jealousy.

She is only one year older than herself, but she already has her own lover and enjoys the sweetness of love.

But his love seems to be out of reach......

Although this Jonas is an Oriental, he is so good, can his future lover be as good as him?

She wasn't sure.

Not only can he write books and music, but he also spoils Audrey like a child. It seems that a man with such excellent talent is just unattainable!

However, he is not white, he still has a wife, and he is not a Christian. Although Marita was a little jealous, she didn't think that she would find such a person as a marriage partner, because none of them met the royal family's conditions.

But why do you feel jealous...... Or is it just because I also crave love?
