In the seventies, the United States was still a big construction site, Manhattan was full of construction sites and scaffolding, and garbage heaps everywhere.

But Europe in the 70s was not very different from later generations.

In the maps and photographs stored by Zhou Zhen, Rome is almost the same as later generations, with its own memories in its brain, and it cannot go wrong wherever it goes.

He went to the Papal States, which was less than a square kilometer, and looked at every building there that was allowed to enter, and stored the most detailed data.

He is not very interested in this kind of cultural landscape, prefers natural scenery, and this time he came here for the sake of it.

As for the original author Dan Brown, Zhou Zhen doesn't have to say sorry to him, because this world is originally different from the real world.

In addition to the tour, he also brought a camera to take pictures and make maps of all the churches involved, including abandoned and disappeared ancient churches, laneways, basements, buildings, streets, and eerie catacombs.

Originally, he quoted a lot of historical materials and historical figures in the middle, and incorporated real people and events into an illusory space.

This creates an atmosphere that is both real and illusory, and that it is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, reflecting a late postmodern style with a strong romantic tendency.

In the experience of tension, excitement, mystery and sweet reading, the reader follows the protagonist on a realistic and unique journey to Switzerland, the Vatican and Rome.

Nine days have passed since Zhou Zhen traveled a long way from Rome to Switzerland and then returned to New York from Geneva.

Back at home, the house was still clean and tidy, even if he was not at home, Mrs. Knapp arranged for a maid to help Zhou Zhen clean the house every day.

She believes that it is unseemly to find a maid from a cooperative, and that a truly superior person must train a qualified maid herself.

However, with the development of the times, there will still be traditions for housekeepers in the future, and there are almost no traditions for servants.

Of course, Zhou Zhen will not refuse her kindness, he has left a good impression on this Mrs. Knapp, and now Zhou Zhen has become a prop for her to show off every day.

As long as she is in a happy mood and has a little benefit, she doesn't care about it at all.

When Zhou Zhen came back, he bought a lot of perfume and a few bags.

The bag is for her and her daughter-in-law, and the perfume is ready to be used in the future, and it is specially prepared for Bessie's one.

Betsy is beautiful and dignified, with a sense of loftiness and detachment, which makes people feel unattainable, but it also makes people feel that they should be.

As soon as he returned home, Zhou Zhen called Mrs. Knapp and told her that he had arrived home.

On the phone, she seemed very happy. "According to the plan, you should also come back, the afternoon after tomorrow, I invited a few friends and afternoon tea, you are more leisurely, you can come over early......"

The next morning, the maid who came to do the hygiene brought an invitation with a special explanation of the attendance time, half past three in the afternoon.

Although it was January and it was getting dark early, it was still very early at half past three.

Afternoon tea is basically a women's party, which came from England, and the men are still busy at this time.

However, Zhou Zhen thinks that this may be a good thing, a widow with money and leisure, and a hobby of acting as a matchmaker.

He rented this house just to find a stepping stone, or else it would be easier to rent an apartment.

Now this five-story building lives alone, empty, in fact, not comfortable at all.

Of course, purity is very pure.

Zhou Zhen was not busy with anything else this day, sat in front of the typewriter, emptied his head, didn't think about anything, and handed over the control to the biological computer.

Then, his hands crackled, and at an otherworldly speed, in half a day, he typed 200,000 words.

With the beginning of the beginning, half of the first book has been written.

There is no need to rush the rest, at least two or three months, and it is reasonable to take out this book.

It was getting late, and Zhou Zhen didn't want to cook alone, so he found a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in the Central District according to the Yellow Pages and booked a location.

Subsequently, he drove a Cadillac out the door.

After eating at the restaurant, he didn't come home and followed 57th Street all the way.

In the movie, the taxi company he works for is on 57th Street, and Zhou Zhen wants to see it.

If he didn't have a biological computer, he might have had a hard time finding it, but with the help of the computer, he didn't have to bother at all, and the street scenes in the movie would only be stored and automatically formed into a map if they could be compared with reality.

Along the way, he found not only the location of the taxi company, but also the corner of the street where the presidential candidate, Charles Palanti, used as the campaign headquarters in the movie.

However, there is still more than a year before the general election, and it has not yet been rented by them.

In other words, there is a vast sea of people, and Zhou Zhen doesn't know where Betsy is.

The movie only said that she was from the north of New York State, and Zhou Zhen did not have enough information here to find her at all.

After returning home and washing up, Zhou Zhen deliberately chose a 270-minute movie "Our Fathers" to watch, originally thinking that the TV movie would not be good, and it was a lullaby.

said that he thought that this movie was very exciting and very profound, and after watching it, Zhou Zhen was not sleepy, but very excited.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhen's interest in war films increased greatly.

But think about your body, don't talk about cannons, even the bullets of pistols can't stop it, so don't go to the battlefield to show off.

Zhou Zhen thought of the will again, he also wanted to devour the will of the world of "The Godfather", this world is really a little boring.

You must convince him to choose a world that complements the earth as much as possible.

After thinking a lot, Zhou Zhen fell asleep, and when he woke up the next day, it was seven o'clock.

One night, Zhou Zhen was not stable, for him, this is a rare thing.

Usually, he basically sleeps after calming down, and the quality of sleep is very good, usually no more than five hours before he is alive.

Now I'm too lazy in this world, but I can't even sleep well.

After getting up, Zhou Zhen decided to cheer up from today while exercising on the floor.

At 3:15 p.m., Zhou Zhen, who had dressed up today and looked clean and refreshing, went out.

This appearance was already handsome, and he dressed up carefully, deliberately wearing a three-piece suit, and a medium-length tweed coat on the outside.

The price of this dress requires him to work in Taibai for a whole year.

Mrs. Knapp's family is also on the Upper East Side, which is less than 500 meters away and only a few minutes' walk away.

Zhou Zhen carried two cardboard boxes in his left hand and a bouquet of flowers in his right hand, and walked elegantly on the street where the dead leaves had fallen.

The doorbell rang, and the butler and maid knew him, and quickly welcomed him in. "Madame invited Mrs. Feterst, Mrs. Chetman, and Mrs. Louis to afternoon tea.

Mrs. Feterst was gray-haired, of English descent, and her husband was a director of a shipping company.

Mrs. Chetman is a close friend of her wife and of British descent, and her husband is the owner of an electronics company. ”

Speaking of this, the housekeeper glanced at Zhou Zhen and said, "Mrs. Louis is the youngest, she has a daughter, and she just graduated from college this year. I didn't come now, but I think I'll come in the evening. ”

"Thank you very much for the introduction, Mr. Charlie."

"You're welcome, it's my job. There will be a lot of people in the evening, so if you meet someone you want to meet, just look for me. ”

The maid helped Zhou Zhen clean up the dust and mud on the soles of his shoes, and Zhou Zhen entered the hall.

The hall that entered the door was now arranged, and Elsa was urging several workers to install lanterns and sounds, and when she saw Zhou Zhen walking in, she immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Welcome, Travis, Mommy has been talking about you for a long time, and every day these days, I have to mention the soup you made that night, and always praise it as the best soup she has ever had."

Zhou Zhen hugged her lightly and said with a smile: "I will invite you again in the next few days...... It's a little gift. ”

Elsa took the flowers and said with a smile: "Hermes' latest bag, this is my mother's favorite brand, I think she will be happier if you hand it over to her personally." ”

With that, she walked up the stairs with the flowers in her arms. "Please follow me."

Elsa is less than thirty-five years old this year, has a twelve-year-old son, and a seven-year-old daughter.

However, Zhou Zhen generally does not discharge to married women, and he will not chase even unmarried girls.

He has so many choices that he doesn't care about one more or less.

Follow her to the second floor, outside is a large living room, and then a small living room.

Even if it is a small living room, the area is about the same size as the living room of the house where Zhou Zhen lives, and there is a circle of sofas placed in the floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side, which can seat eleven or twelve people, and they are bathed in sunlight at this time.

Seeing Zhou Zhen go upstairs, Mrs. Knapp greeted her, hugged Zhou Zhen intimately, and said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce you to today's guests, we were still talking about you just now......

Zhou Zhen took out a gift for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, met several middle-aged and elderly women present, and was called to sit down on the sofa by several women.

Zhou Zhen is already amazingly charming, even if he doesn't need to be bewitched, he can also act as a friend of middle-aged and elderly women.

The three old ladies had reached the age where everything could not be cared about, and only Mrs. Louis seemed to have ideas, behaved more reservedly, and kept looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Although she has not yet seen her daughter, but with her amazing appearance alone, as long as her husband is not ugly, her daughter is certainly not bad.

Zhou Zhen was also full of patience and told them a story that was tragic in the first half and enriched in the second half.

From an orphan to a millionaire, his experience has also won their sympathy and praise.

Louis also asked Zhou Zhen a lot of questions, about his cooking skills, about his hobbies, and answered Zhou Zhen patiently, and he was still very satisfied.

However, it all depends on her daughter's attitude.

Although there are arranged marriages here, in general, the opinions of the children are more respected.
