To Jester's expectation, Claudia's father's grave was located in the famous Westminster Abbey, which contains the tombs of more than 3,000 princes, nobles and giants from all walks of life.

If he is just a small viscount, he will naturally not have this qualification, but coupled with his status as one of the three largest directors of RR Group, then the qualifications will be enough. Of course, according to the regulations of Westminster Abbey According to the regulations, according to the identity of Claudia's father, it can only be placed on the outside of the church, not inside the church.

Because in British tradition, nobles are proud that their cemetery is close to the altar, and the closest place to the altar is in the church.

Claudia's father's funeral was still very grand, but because Claudia had been kicked out of the house by her father, although her father modified his will before his death, Claudia also had the right to receive the inheritance. , but because her father was already on his deathbed at that time and did not have much waking time, he did not have time to ask the lawyer to revoke the terms of expelling Claudia from the house.

Therefore, Claudia's two brothers used this excuse to prevent Claudia from attending the funeral. However, with Claudia's insistence and the insistence of Claudia's father's personal housekeeper, Her two brothers reluctantly agreed. However, even if she came to attend the funeral, she could only attend as a guest and not as a family member. But to her, it didn't matter. She just wanted to watch her father be buried. , as for becoming family members with her two brothers?

At least Claudia didn't think so.

Therefore, Jester accompanied Claudia at the outermost area, waiting for the funeral to end. There were many people at the funeral, including many celebrities, and Claudia also introduced Jester in a low voice one by one. . Among them was the owner of the private jet he borrowed on his last trip to London to return to the United States.

However, one person's visit was a bit unexpected for Jester. He saw Princess Diana, who would become famous in later generations, but she was the only one who came. I did not see Prince Charles, who was titled Prince of Wales. At this time, Princess Diana was only more than 23 years old and less than 24 years old. She was still the beautiful woman known as the eternal rose of England. Jester just glanced at her from a distance and felt truly amazing.

Claudia saw the confusion in Jester's eyes and took the initiative to explain to him. It turned out that Princess Diana had some relatives with Claudia's family. According to Claudia, they The family once had a marriage relationship with the Spencer family, so let's talk about it. She might as well call her Aunt Diana. But all Jester knew about Diana was that she was once the most favored woman in England. How favored was she? When she died, the British were so angry that they united to hold a referendum to abolish the English royal family. Yes, the English royal family could be abolished through a referendum, but the matter ended with the royal family's public apology.

Originally, when Jester heard other people tell the story of Princess Diana, he always liked to use the Cinderella story as an analogy. He believed it to be true and did not really investigate whether it was really the case. He did not even think about it. How could Cinderella marry the illustrious first heir of the United Kingdom? This time, after Claudia's explanation, he realized how unbelievable the previous rumors were.

Princess Diana was the youngest daughter of Earl Edward John Spencer, a real Earl with a fiefdom. Although the title is not much different from that of Claudia's family, the Spencer family is much more prominent than Claudia's family. Many are famous in history and even great figures who have affected the course of the world to a certain extent. They all come from this family.

For example, the famous Winston Churchill, a former Royal Navy officer with a big belly, who liked to smoke cigars, slapped the table in parliament, pointed his finger at his opponent’s nose and shouted that the opponent was SB, was the ancestor of the Spencer family. Descendant of George Spencer, 5th Duke of Marlborough.

After learning about Princess Diana's origins, Jester also found out. If she was really a Cinderella, how could she have a chance to win the favor of Prince Charles? after all. This is not the era of the 21st century when network communications were extremely developed, but it is now. There is no possibility that Cinderella and the prince are in the same class as each other.

Until the end of the entire funeral, Claudia did not have any contact with her two brothers. After it was over, she asked Jester if he was interested in visiting one of the most famous tourist attractions in London. After getting After Jester's definite reply, she also took the initiative to act as a guide.

Jester really didn’t know much about Westminster Abbey, or Westminster Abbey. The first time he heard about this place was when he was in elementary school. In a certain text, it was said that human beings Newton, the greatest scientist, was buried here after his death.

When Jester told Claudia, Claudia immediately took Jester to Newton's burial place.

His tomb is in Scientists' Corner, one of the two most famous locations in Westminster Abbey. The tombstone is a piece of black and white marble, and underneath is his sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is extremely delicately carved, although it still remains intact after hundreds of years. You can see the traces of age erosion, but the reliefs on it are still lifelike.

On the tombstone, which was carved with great effort by the famous sculptor Michael Reisbrack, there is an epitaph written in Latin. Jester did not recognize it. I'm curious, is this what is written on it is the famous sentence he heard before he was reborn, 'Nature and the laws of nature are hidden in the darkness, God said: Let Newton go! Then everything becomes light. ’ Or translated into Chinese, ‘Tao follows nature and has been hidden for a long time. Newton descended from heaven and all things became luminous. 'if.

But when Jester told Claudia about this incident, Claudia laughed so hard that she corrected Jester's mistake without politeness.

"The poem you are talking about is a poem by the famous poet Pope. It is not Newton's epitaph at all. Pope was one of the greatest poets in England in the eighteenth century..." When talking about this name, Ke Claudia's eyes were full of little stars, and her admiring look was exactly like Jester's when he talked about Li Bai.

However, he basically knew nothing about this man named Pope. He had only heard of three British poets. One was Shakespeare, a great writer who was not famous for poetry, and the other two were Shelly and Chaucer, two British poets. An insurmountable mountain in the world of poetry.

"...By the way, Pope's tomb is also here, right over at Poets' Corner. We can go take a look later."

Although he heard Claudia say this, Jester was still very curious about Newton's epitaph. You must know that for a science student, there is no substitute for Newton's position in his heart. In Jester Before his rebirth, when he was in physics class, his teacher once talked about Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" - this is a great book in which every punctuation mark illuminates the way forward for mankind.

It's a pity that Newton's tombstone is in Latin.

But after Claudia knew Jester's idea, she smiled mysteriously, and then said to Jester in a somewhat complacent tone: "Don't you know that Latin is still a compulsory subject for a British aristocratic girl? ?”…

After chatting with Claudia for a long time, and after the two of them confirmed their relationship, Jester would also make some jokes. When he heard Claudia say this, he couldn't help but curled his lips and said dismissively: " What era has it been, and you British people still retain this kind of medieval custom?" After finishing speaking, Jester paused, and continued to ridicule with dissatisfaction, "What's the point of learning Latin now? Apart from reading it. Is there any other place where Latin can be used besides ancient books and research on pharmacology?”

Although she was very angry at Jester's retort, Claudia still reluctantly translated for him after Jester repeatedly asked.

"Buried here is Lord Isaac Newton. He used his almost divine mind and unique mathematical principles to explore the movement and shape of the planets, the trajectories of comets, the tides of the oceans, and the different spectral harmonies of light. Producing color properties that other scholars had not imagined before."

“By his diligence, intelligence, and piety in the study of nature, antiquities, and the Scriptures, he proved the omnipotence of the Supreme God according to his own philosophy, and expressed in his own personal way the simple wisdom of the Gospels. People rejoiced in this: Mankind There has been no such glorious glory in history. He was born on December 25, 1642, and died on March 20, 1727."

Claudia's voice was gentle, but Jester could still hear her excitement. After all, when anyone mentions a figure in his country who can be remembered by the entire civilization, he will feel a sense of excitement. An involuntary feeling of pride.

In essence, this epitaph is actually a short essay summarizing Newton's life achievements, and it is written very emotionally. Jester, a science student, heard this sentence translated for him by Claudia, who had just become his girlfriend. When he was reading the meaning of the Latin paragraph, he couldn't help but think of the past events he knew about Newton in his mind.

It can't be described as magnificent.

And just when Jester left Newton's tomb in the Corner of Scientists, Claudia was still introducing him anecdotes about Newton's tomb. She didn't know where she came from. When Newton died, The funeral ceremony was noble and solemn, with most members of the Royal Society attending the funeral. His pallbearers were the British military officer and president of the House of Lords, two dukes and three earls...
