Arthur's family lives in the new city, which was built in the 1920s. Compared with the old city, the sanitary conditions and safety order there are better.
Moreover, the people living here are mainly the middle class and some big businessmen, who are considered the main elite group in Scotland.
The fact that the Arthur family settled here is also thanks to the Doyles.
Arthur's father, Charles Doyle, was a well-known painter in Edinburgh when he was young, and his mother, Mary Foley, was a writer and had published articles in The Scotsman.
However, the family began to decline as his father, Charles Doyle, began to drink heavily and later became an alcoholic and died.
Although life is not yet in a state of embarrassment, it is indeed very difficult.
At this time, Jabi waved the newspaper in his hand and exclaimed to Arthur: "Are you ready for the cocktail party tomorrow?"
Arthur then remembered that his vacation time this week had come, and there was a seminar waiting for him tomorrow, and he couldn't help but shook his head.
Jabi pointed at the newspaper in horror and said, "Do you know who was invited to this cocktail party?"
Without waiting for Arthur to ask, he immediately said excitedly: "Not only the Oxford professors will come to the reception tomorrow, but also the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur and the German microbiologist Robert Koch. They can They are all coming for you, Arthur, you are going to become a world famous person!"
Arthur only nodded after hearing this. To be honest, he was not very enthusiastic about tomorrow's cocktail party, but he was a little bit moved by the two pioneers in the microbiological world.
If he remembered correctly, the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur also developed a cholera vaccine in 1880, only two years later than himself, but the difference was that what this master developed turned out to be chicken Cholera vaccine.
Arthur really wanted to ask this 56-year-old uncle what he thought.
Jabi was still describing the scene at tomorrow's cocktail party, but Arthur was getting more and more outrageous. It felt like he was talking about the Congress of Vienna.
He was compared to Napoleon, as if everyone was rushing to compete for his inheritance.
The carriage arrived at No. 26 Princes Street and stopped in front of Doyle's house.
His house is made of three-story light-colored stone. Different from the medieval style in the old city, the houses in the new city mainly draw on ancient Roman and Greek styles, showing symmetry and solemn characteristics.
The three-story houses were neatly shaped like square stones. Arthur really couldn't appreciate this beauty. What he liked more was the varied architectural styles of the Middle Ages in the old city.
The doorbell rang, and the door opened was the Doyle's maid, Mrs. Faith Evans.
Although the reputation of a maid is not very good, in Europe in the 18th century, it has gradually evolved into a kind of job, and the relationship with the master is also an employment relationship.
Because they are like family members and stay with their owners for a long time, many of them eventually received inheritances because of their dedicated care of the elderly.
Let them immediately change from servants to ladies, and there are many such examples.
Jabi often came to Arthur's house as a guest, and he was also very familiar with Mrs. Evans. He took off his hat, stepped forward and greeted warmly: "Long time no see, Faith."
Faith is 33 years old and married. According to etiquette, Jabi should call her Mrs. Evans, or Ms. Evans, but Jabi has always been the kind of deviant person the old man said.
That's why the servants in Rose Manor felt that there was something wrong with Jabi's character, but Arthur felt that Jabi like this would be more likable.
Sure enough, Faith was so happy that she stepped forward and hugged them.
"Madam, you have been talking about it these days! I heard that you have done something big recently!"
Jabi knew that Faith was talking about tomorrow's cocktail party, so she couldn't help but show off for Arthur: "There will be many big names coming tomorrow, and Arthur will become a world celebrity."
Listening to his good friend bragging for him, Arthur could only smile helplessly.
At this moment Arthur's mother, Mary Foley, came downstairs.
Before Arthur could make any move, Jabi ran forward and hugged him, "Long time no see, welfare mommy."
Mary Foley kissed Jabi on the cheek, but kept looking at her son behind her.
Since Arthur returned home, his tense nerves these days have suddenly relaxed, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his usually dull face.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Hugging his mother, Arthur could feel the excitement in her heart.
Home is an eternal harbor, and family is a lifelong support.
At the dinner table, Jabi wished to eat the cheese cake baked by Arthur's mother.
After Mary Foley learned about Arthur's body and recent life, she didn't ask any more questions.
The same goes for Arthur. He is usually a very quiet person, and Mary Foley also understands his character.
But in fact, this is also the normal state of British families. Unlike fathers, mothers rarely ask men about their careers, even if the man is their son.
Jabby, on the other hand, started talking incessantly from the moment he entered the room, and Arthur sometimes had to interrupt his exaggerated remarks.
Mary Foley kept looking at the two people with a smile.
Arthur thought for a moment and reported to his mother: "I have made the results of this research available to the world for free. You won't blame me!"
Things are not going well at home now, and he is afraid that his mother will have some thoughts about his decision.
Mary Foley took his hand and patted it twice.
"You have done well, my child, do as you please! I believe in you."
This is the most common thing that many English mothers say to their sons, but hearing it in Arthur's ears at this moment made him feel unusually warm and reassuring.
After dinner, Mary Foley poured herself a cup of black tea, while Arthur and Jabi held red wine in their hands and smoked cigarettes.
Arthur is different from his father. When it comes to alcohol, his maximum tolerance is only red wine, such as brandy and whiskey. Such highly alcoholic drinks will make him feel dizzy just by smelling them.
But he is a small smoker, especially these days when he is at Rose Manor. In order to think about the case, he smokes a lot.
Seeing Jabi holding the red wine in his hand, Arthur suddenly joked: "Jabi, aren't you afraid of the blood of Christ?"
The blood of Christ that Arthur refers to comes from the "Last Supper" when Jesus said: "The bread is my flesh and the wine is my blood."
Jabi curled his lips after hearing this, but remembering the scenes he saw in the Castle of Roses two days ago, his throat couldn't help but feel dry and itchy.
Seeing that Mary Foley didn't notice them, he immediately approached Arthur and whispered: "Have you ever thought that your blood can actually exorcise demons? Maybe you are..."
Arthur said in surprise: "Do you think I am God?"
Jabi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I mean you might be favored by God."
