"When I said that you were slandered in France, you can't imagine that the people of Arnhem would be willing to stand up and testify for you. So I made a signed banner and brought it to Paris. And the newspapers of yesterday and the day before yesterday, all testimonials made for you by the Arnhem. ”

"Thank you, ma'am, for all that you have done for me."

"No, no need to say thank you, we're family."

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I will go back to Arnhem once at the right time, thank all the Arnhem people." ”

"Jonas, you know what? You are now the pride of all Arnhem. I didn't know that your book was also on sale in Arnhem, and even though it was in German, it was still very popular with everyone. ”

Audrey sat up straight from her mother's arms with some coquettishness. "Mom, what about me? Do they know that I am now a modern dancer? ”

Mrs. Hemsstra's face was a little embarrassed, and she smiled: "Baby, a modern dancer is nothing compared to a historian and a philosopher. ”

Audrey looked back at Zhou Nan, pouted and said, "Look, Jonas, this is the gap." ”

Zhou Nan patted her face with some amusement and said, "That's just in the eyes of others, in my eyes, we are equal." ”

With the evidence brought from Arnhem in hand, Heitinga decided never to keep a low profile again. He began to discuss with Etinny how to publicize it in the media, and prepared to go to court the next day.

Zhou Nan continued to be busy reading and writing manuscripts, and before ten o'clock in the evening, he had to hand over the manuscript to the liaison reporter sent by Le Figaro and bring it back to the agency, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the typesetting in the evening.

Although Mrs. Hemstra came to Paris, at midnight, Audrey, dressed only in her pajamas, slipped into Zhou Nan's room.

"Won't your mother care?"

She said pitifully, "Jonas, I can't sleep without your arms." ”

Zhou Nan immediately lifted the bed. "Come up, I can't sleep without you."

……

……

Paris in the forties was not much different from sixty years later, except for the absence of the world-famous La Défense business district, the architecture of the downtown area did not change much.

As soon as Zhou Nan and the others went out, they were surrounded by reporters, and compared with a few days ago, there were more reporters gathered at the door of the hotel today.

Because in today's newspaper, Zhou Nan finally responded to the slander of some reporters. Not only did he warn four of the more extreme writers, but he also officially announced that he would take legal action against Le Monde and the journalist for his fierce rhetoric.

Le Figaro also deliberately vacated two pages, publishing the words of the local newspaper in Arnhem praising Zhou Nan, as well as the signature evidence of the local people.

This news detonated public opinion throughout France, and early in the morning, countless reporters blocked the door of the hotel. Some media with better conditions even arranged for reporters to enter the hotel for consumption, and if they want to get close to the people around Zhou Nan, as long as they can ask a sentence or two, they can write a manuscript based on it.

Heitinga and Etinny will go to court to present evidence of each other's false accusations and a signed banner that Lady Hemstra has brought from Arnhem. When they went out, a large number of reporters followed them to the courtroom.

However, since the reporters of Le Figaro were divided into two shifts, one of which remained in the hotel, there were still many media outlets who wanted to interview Zhou Nan directly.

When he went out with Audrey and Lady Hemstra, he was faced with their congested interviews.

Pierre and Landers tried their best to help Zhou Nan block those reporters: "Mr. Zhou will not give any interviews, and we will not give interviews until there is a clear outcome of the matter." ”

But their power pales in comparison to a few dozen journalists. It was Mrs. Hemstra who stepped forward and confronted the reporters.

For women, the French have a natural tendency to pity and cherish jade, so when a woman stands in front of them, the crowd gradually quiets down.

Lady Hemstra then said: "The defamation of Jonas by Le Monde has entered into legal proceedings, so he will not make any more statements that affect the public." But as his mother-in-law, still a native of Arnhem, I have to say that Le Monde's reporting was full of malice and discrimination. Anyone who knows Jonas well knows that he is a kind-hearted child who does no harm. During his three years in Arnhem, his kindness won the affection of all Arnhem, and for this reason I agreed to his engagement to my daughter, despite his pagan and Oriental status. He is so kind, but he has been slandered in the most malicious way, and we will never compromise on this. ”

Compared to her, Audrey is much weaker. She first bowed to all the reporters, and then said softly: "I don't want to have any comments on the outside world, I just want to experience the beautiful Paris with Jonas, and I hope you can leave us a little space, thank you." ”

Audrey's dress today is a standard lady image of this era, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a white corset dress, although the style is a bit old, but the lace that Kelly embellishes on the circle adds a touch of beauty to her girlish image.

Because of her young age and because she didn't want to advertise for any brand, she didn't even take a handbag. But her pretty smile was enough to attract all the reporters, and the videographers kept snapping pictures of her.

Zhou Nan helped her hold a parasol beside her, without saying a word. He didn't dare to speak, because as soon as he did, I was afraid that these reporters would not let him out.

After satisfying the filming of those reporters, Zhou Nan and the others got into the car. But behind the two cars they were traveling, there was a long convoy, and some reporters even chased after them on bicycles.

Zhou Nan's trip this time, although it is said that it is to visit Paris, this is only one of the reasons. The more important reason is to deliberately attract the attention of these journalists, visiting Paris can not only bring him closer to the Parisians, but more importantly, let Audrey be the focus.

The morning is all devoted to the Louvre, where there are enough treasures to make a whole day of sightseeing.

In this era, there is no such thing as the Three Treasures of the Louvre, but the Mona Lisa, the Venus with the broken arm, and the Statue of Victory are already the most famous artistic treasures of the Louvre.

Zhou Nan joked with a smile: "From the Three Treasures of the Louvre, we can see that the French worship women more than any other nation in the world." ”

Audrey asked curiously, "Which three treasures?" ”

"The Mona Lisa, of course, but also the statue of Venus and the statue of the Goddess of Victory. This is arguably a treasure for the whole of France, and indeed of the whole world. But all three treasures have one thing in common......"

Audrey immediately answered: "It's all about the beauty of women. ”

Zhou Nan smiled and scratched her nose. "My Audrey is the smartest."

She immediately laughed silly.

Zhou Nan's words were immediately written down by the reporters who followed him, in fact, in addition to love words, these reporters were like the historians around the ancient emperor, eager to write down Zhou Nan's words word by word.

Even if they didn't write it down, Zhou Nan would write a travelogue in the evening and publish it in newspapers and magazines. In addition to analyzing the treasures of the Louvre and proposing the names of the three treasures of the Louvre, he will also write a manuscript on the female worship of the French people and analyze their national character.

Coming out of the Louvre, they returned to the café on the left bank of the Seine, sat down on a chair on the side of the street, enjoyed a rich but not luxurious lunch, and ordered the most famous coffee in the area.

As a new celebrity, it was all arranged in advance by Pierre and Stolco, and this café is also a famous café in Paris, affordable, and tastes good.

In order to meet Zhou Nan, a celebrity, the owner of the café was very happy to show his best craftsmanship, and finally got the opportunity to take a photo with Zhou Nan.

After sitting for a while and enjoying the warm sunshine of early summer, they walked across the bridge to visit Notre Dame Cathedral on a small island in the middle of the Seine.

Notre-Dame Cathedral is almost the most famous attraction in Paris after the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, and this nearly 800-year-old building has been a shining business card of Paris until later generations.

Coming out of the Notre Dame Cathedral, they boarded a cruise on the river to enjoy the beauty of Paris from the Seine.

In the evening, they came to the Eiffel Tower, because the Eiffel Tower at this time is the most beautiful time.

The sky is not yet completely dark, on the ground to watch the lights on the tower are lit, take the elevator until the top of the third floor of the tower, you can see the night is picturesque Paris, the lights are like brocade, the green shade, those intertwined like a net of street lamps, really like a bead net after the rain.

"It's so beautiful...... Audrey was a little afraid of heights, hugged Zhou Nan's arm tightly, didn't dare to look down, but couldn't help but look into the distance.

Mrs. Hemstra was also so enchanted by this view that she was speechless for a long time. When she took the elevator down, she whispered to Zhou Nan: "Thank you, Jonas, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never come to Paris in my life, and I wouldn't see such a beautiful scenery." ”

"Madam, we all have a long life to go, and in the days to come, we will go to the North Pole to see the aurora, to the Antarctic to see penguins, to go on tribal expeditions in Africa, to watch the sunset in the deserts of the Middle East, to go horseback riding in the savannahs of the Americas, and to enjoy coconut groves, beaches, and sunshine on uninhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean."

Audrey's smiling eyes narrowed. "Jonas, is all this true?"

Zhou Nan nodded affirmatively. "Life is short, and we should enjoy infinite beauty in our limited life."
