The United States in the 1970s was still a big construction site. Manhattan was full of construction sites and scaffolding, and garbage dumps everywhere.

However, Europe in the 1970s was not much different from later generations.

In the maps and photos stored by Zhou Zhen, Rome is almost the same as that of later generations. It has its own memory in the brain, so you can't go wrong wherever you go.

He went to the Papal State, which was less than one square kilometer, and read all the buildings that were allowed to enter there, and stored the most detailed data.

He is not very interested in this kind of humanistic landscape, but prefers natural scenery. This time he came here for the purpose of novels.

As for the original author Dan Brown, Zhou Zhen does not 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 photos of all the churches involved in the novel, including abandoned and disappeared old churches, alleyways, basements, buildings, streets, and the eerie catacombs. , Made a map.

Originally, he quoted a lot of historical materials and historical figures in his novels, bringing real people and things into the illusory space.

In this way, it can create an atmosphere that is both true and illusion, and it is difficult to distinguish between false and true, which reflects the style of late postmodern novels with a strong romantic tendency.

While experiencing the excitement of tension, excitement, mystery, and sweet reading, the reader takes the protagonist on a realistic and unique tour of Switzerland, the Vatican and Rome.

Zhou Zhen traveled a large circle from Rome to Switzerland, and then returned to New York from Geneva. Nine days have passed.

When he returned 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 not dignified to find a maid from a cooperative. The real good person must train a qualified maid by himself.

However, with the development of the times, butlers will still have traditions, and servants will hardly have traditions.

Of course Zhou Zhen would not refuse her kindness. He left a very good impression on Mrs. Knapp. Now Zhou Zhen has become a prop for her to show off daily.

As long as she is in a happy mood and 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 used to give her and her daughter-in-law, the perfume is ready to be used for picking up girls in the future, and it is specially prepared for Bessie's one.

Bessie is beautiful and dignified, with a sense of nobility and alienation, which makes people feel unattainable, but they feel right.

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

On the phone, she seemed very happy. "According to the plan, you should also come back. The next afternoon, I invited a few friends and afternoon tea. You are more free, you can come early..."

The next morning, the maid who came to do the sanitation brought an invitation. The invitation specifically stated the attendance time. It was 3:30 in the afternoon.

Although it is January and it gets dark early, it is also very early at half past three.

Afternoon tea is basically a gathering of women. This is from England. Men are still busy at this time.

However, Zhou Zhen thinks this may be a good thing. A widow with money and leisure has a hobby of being a matchmaker.

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

Now this five-story building only lives with him. It's empty, but it's not comfortable at all.

Of course, being clean is very clean.

Zhou Zhen was busy with nothing else this day, sitting in front of the typewriter, emptying his head, thinking about nothing, and handing control to the biological computer.

Then, his hands crackled, and with an extraordinary speed, he typed 200,000 characters in most of the day.

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

Don't worry about the rest, it will take at least two or three months, and it is reasonable to come up with this book.

It was getting late, and Zhou Zhen didn't want to cook alone. According to the yellow pages, he found a two-Michelin-star restaurant in the Central District and set a location.

Afterwards, he drove the Cadillac out.

After eating in the restaurant, he did not go home, and then kept driving along 57th Street.

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

If there is no biological computer, he may find it very difficult, but with the aid of a computer, he doesn't need to bother at all. The street scenes in the movie can only be compared with reality before they are stored and automatically formed into a map.

He drove this road, not only found the location of the taxi company, but also found the corner of the presidential candidate Charles Palantine in the movie as the campaign headquarters.

However, there is still more than a year before the general election, and they have not rented this place yet.

In other words, Zhou Zhen has no idea where Bessie is.

In the movie, it is only said that she is from the north of New York State. Zhou Zhen has insufficient information here to find her.

Back home, after washing up, Zhou Zhen deliberately chose a two hundred and seventy-minute "Our Fathers" movie to watch. He originally thought that the TV movie would not look good, so it was right to be a lullaby.

Speaking of what I thought, this movie turned out to be very exciting and very deep. After watching it, Zhou Zhen didn't feel sleepy, but was very excited.

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

But think about your body, not to mention the cannon, even the bullets of the pistol 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 swallow the will of the world of "The Godfather". This world is really boring.

He must be persuaded to choose a world that complements the earth to be the master.

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

One night, Zhou Zhen was not safe from anyone. For him, this was a rare event.

He usually goes to sleep after calming down. The quality of his sleep is very good, usually within five hours.

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

After getting up, Zhou Zhen worked out on the floor while deciding to cheer up from today.

At 3:15 in the afternoon, Zhou Zhen, who was specially dressed up today, left the house with a clean and refreshing appearance.

This look was originally handsome, and he was carefully dressed up, deliberately put on a three-piece suit, and also wore a medium-length woolen coat outside.

The price of this suit requires him to work in Taibaiju for a whole year.

Mrs. Knapp and his family are also in the Upper East Side, it looks like it is less than 500 meters, and it only takes a few minutes to walk.

Zhou Zhen held two paper boxes in his left hand, and a bunch of flowers in his right hand, walking gracefully on the street where the dead leaves were gone.

When the doorbell rang, the housekeeper and the maid knew him and quickly welcomed him in. "The Madam invited Mrs. Fetterst, Mrs. Chetman, and Mrs. Louis to have afternoon tea together.

Mrs. Fetterst is gray-haired, of British origin, and her husband is a director of a shipping company.

Mrs. Chetman is a close friend of his wife and is also of British origin. Her husband is the owner of an electronics company. "

Speaking of this, the butler glanced at Zhou Zhen and said: "Mrs. Louis is the youngest. She has a daughter who just graduated from college this year. Although she has not come now, she will definitely come in the evening."

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

"You're welcome, this is my duty. There will be a lot of people at night. If you meet someone you want to know, just ask me."

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

The entrance hall has now been set up. Elsa is urging several workers to install colored lights and speakers. Seeing Zhou Zhen walking in, she immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome, Travis, my mother has been talking about you for a long time. These days, I have to mention the soup you made that night every day, always boasting that it is the best soup she has ever had."

Zhou Zhen hugged her gently, and said with a smile: "I will invite you again in the next few days...this is a little gift."

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

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

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

However, Zhou Zhen generally doesn't give offense to married women, and he doesn't even chase unmarried girls.

There are so many objects he can choose, he doesn't care about one more and one less.

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

Even the small living room is about the same size as the living room of Zhou Zhen's house. There is a sofa set on the south side of the French window, which can seat eleven or two people, and is bathing in the sun at this time.

Seeing Zhou Zhen coming upstairs, Mrs. Knapp greeted him, hugged Zhou Zhen intimately, and smiled: "Come on, let me introduce you to today's guests. We were still talking about you just now... "

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

Zhou Zhen has amazing charm, even without the fascination ability, he can be a friend of middle-aged and elderly women.

The three old ladies have reached the age of neglecting everything. Only Mrs. Louis seems to have ideas, behaves more reservedly, and has been looking at him with scrutiny.

Although she hasn't seen her daughter yet, only with her and amazing looks, as long as her husband is not ugly, her daughter is certainly not bad.

Zhou Zhen was also full of patience, telling them a tragic first half and a fulfilling story in the second half.

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

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

However, everything depends on her daughter's attitude.

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