Mary's Nineteenth Century

Bingley was quite courageous, and directly expressed his speculation about the relationship between Mr. Minton and Mrs. Roman.Even though he knew the truth about the hot air balloon ride, he more or less believed the rumors about the two in the newspaper.

In this regard, Mary was not offended or felt helpless in the slightest. On the contrary, she was very pleased that there are still more normal people in the world.

"Thank you for your concern, but you misunderstood, Mrs. Roman and I are actually not familiar."

Mary explained calmly, "We just happened to deal with certain things together, and we happened to go to some places. As I said, for example, we went to sea together this time, because we both want to explore the unknown."

Mary's words are very sincere, without any false information.

Bentley secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little regretful for some reason.

Huh?No, why should he breathe a sigh of relief?It's like subconsciously thinking that Minton Garroman's danger index will explode, and the two of them can't always appear in pairs without a relationship, and the United States will be safe?

What's more wrong is why is he a little regretful?Could it be that his subconscious is very optimistic about this relationship, or is he disappointed because there is no more gossip to watch?

Although Bingley concealed the inner drama as much as possible, how could Mary not see a thing or two of the inside story.

Mary suddenly smiled, "Mr. Bingley, I appreciate your kindness. Although you can't be my relationship consultant, I can give you advice if you need it in the future."

The second half of the sentence: I will definitely help you create many tests on the road to a successful relationship.

Bingley picked up the coffee cup and took a big sip guiltily, trying to hide his weird thoughts. "Hahaha! Okay. Your suggestions must be useful, and please don't dislike my little trouble when the time comes."

"Why, you've never had anything to do with little troubles."

Mary secretly thought that Bentley's several appearances were accompanied by big troubles, but if he promised to provide advice for his relationship, he wouldn't be implicated, right?I just wanted to have some fun myself.

Some intuitions passed in a flash, and no further attention was paid.

In late February, Bentley boarded a ship back to England.

Mary dropped by New York Harbor for a ride.

Speaking of dropping in, it is impossible to go to Castle Clinton, the southernmost part of Manhattan, because he did not want to leave Bentley.

In 1870, immigrating to the United States was far from going through a lot of formalities later, as long as you can reach the United States.

There is no immigration law now, just go to Castle Clinton to register and pay for some informal procedures. ①

Mary came here to implement an identity "Mary B".

Who is "Mary B"?

It is said that after Mr. Wington arrived in Boston, USA, he retrieved some of the missing memories that were buried alive.Not long after, he met a Miss B.

Miss B claims to be "Mary B", she has no previous memories, and the only memory in her mind is that she was kidnapped by a villain on a spring night last year.Luckily, I ran into a brave man on the way, and the gentleman told her to run away as soon as possible.

Where to flee to?

Miss B panicked and lost her way in the wilderness, and finally slipped and fell into the water.When I woke up again, I was washed to a certain deserted shore, and I couldn't remember anything except the name and the fragmentary pictures of the night of the disaster.

Going to "USA·Boston"!

In the helpless panic of amnesia, Ms. B looked for a destination, because she only remembered the suitcase carried by the brave Mr., and there was a nameplate on it with that line engraved on it.

If you find Mr. Kindness, you may be able to retrieve your memory.

Miss B found a job as a typist, and spent almost a year collecting enough money to travel from England to the United States.Even though he knew it was a long way to go, he still stubbornly gave it a try.

Then came the chance encounter in Manhattan. Miss B recognized Mr. Minton and told about the encounter.

It turned out that the reason why Mr. Minton was captured and buried alive in the triangular basement last year was because he was unfortunately subdued by the murderers.Since Minton and Miss B had the same birthday, he became Miss B's substitute and was buried alive.

The above is the experience after the disappearance of the original body fabricated by Mary.

Must be prepared early.

Assuming that she meets the family members of the original body in the future and does not intend to recognize each other, but it is inferred that Mary Bennet should have been buried in the coffin in the triangular stone chamber, there must be a reasonable argument.

As for the original owner's family asking about Miss B's whereabouts?Possibly due to illness, he unfortunately passed away in the United States.

After all, it has been ten months in the blink of an eye.

Mary was reborn in this world, and she never stopped paying attention to newspaper news from London to the United States, but she has never seen any missing person notices or notices related to her original body.In the beginning, it did not inherit the memory of the original owner, and there was no sign of it flashing afterward.

As a resurrected corpse, what Mary can do is not forgetting to find out whether there is a gang behind the murderer who murdered the original owner.

This is not only about finding the truth for the original owner, but more importantly, she finds it very interesting.

For example, the murderer who murdered the original owner committed crimes according to the revolving lights, such as the diamond riddle "4, #" deriving "Witch Town, ∞", such as the transformation potion on Heisha Island, all of which are undercurrents in a seemingly calm world.

These undercurrents have one similarity. The knowledge involved in the case is not known to ordinary people today.

In other words, deciphering the revolving lantern numbers, solving the puzzles of the Diamond, making strange potions, etc., do not belong to the category of common sense.Only a very small number of people have the possibility of being involved in the case, and they are those who delve into advanced or unpopular knowledge.

In order to explore the source of the undercurrent, and to increase knowledge and broaden contacts, it is time to go to university.

Mary does not intend to stay in the United States for four years, and needs a relatively relaxed learning environment.Although it is rare to see multinational joint schools, there are always surprises in everything.

After comprehensively measuring the situation of different universities in the world in the 19th century, the C University in New York City was finally selected.It has many joint education programs with European universities, as well as many social organizations.

Although Mary resigned from her part-time job at the British Museum, she did not break off contact with several professors in the laboratory.

Not only is there no need to worry about the application recommendation letter required by the school, but also through the personal recommendation of Professor George, she successfully visited the teachers of the Mathematics Department of University C.

Nowadays, most of the college students in prestigious universities are genuine scholars from well-off families.

There are also extreme examples, such as a talented person living in a difficult life, or a rich and powerful queen who is uneducated and incompetent.

Mary considers herself to be in the very normal category.Although I can't give proof of my previous high school education, I am thankful that it is normal to hire tutors to teach in this era, as long as I pass the entrance examination.

The school does not conduct a unified examination, and the Department of Mathematics of University C requires you to choose to answer certain essay questions.

Mary is quite cautious in this regard, the more she masters the knowledge beyond the times, the more she must pay attention to propriety.

In her previous life, before she went to work on Wall Street, her doctoral research was in the field of cutting-edge physics, and of course she was proficient in mathematics.

With a time interval of more than 150 years, the development of scientific theories has a parallel time and space with slight deviations. She never thought of letting some theories come out in advance.

As the saying goes, half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a lunatic, and a few more steps ahead will become a martyr.

Even at certain times, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but the factor that is about to move is finally restrained by reason.

Find a common entry point for the entrance examination topic, and just write some thoughts about probability theory.There is no need for a bibliography, it is all my own understanding and cognition, and there are no predecessors' treatises in this era.

Will the assessment fail to meet the standards and fail to enroll?

This kind of worry has not even appeared for 0.00001 seconds.If it really happened, it would be better not to go to that kind of school that doesn't know people well.

Mary handed out her essay and waited leisurely for the admission notice.

After ten days of ordinary life in his new home in Boston, he was invited to New York by Weasley, a reporter from the New York Daily News. The social news reporter wanted to make a big deal.

March 1870, 3, New York, cloudy to sunny.

The two met at the gate of Trinity Church.

The beginning of Trinity Church on Wall Street, it is like an oasis in the desert of money.

In fact, Wall Street in New York is short.It is only a third of a mile long, but it has become the place with the strongest smell of money in the United States.

Even in the 70s, this place is far from being the world's financial center more than 100 years later, but it is already full of luxury and money.

Chaos and madness are the truest labels of Wall Street.

Even though the Trinity Church, the tallest landmark building in New York, stands at the entrance of the street, God seems to be not in the service area, and he cannot persuade people on Wall Street not to indulge their desires.

Everyone hopes to get rich overnight through financial operations, but the ups and downs of financial indexes are only controlled by a few people.

For example, last year just ended a more than two-year battle for control of the Erie Railroad in the United States. ②

The battle over U.S. ground transportation rights has grown from a financial battle between companies to a legal one.For example, how to issue a new share is considered legal. This is a big and sharp question in the era before the "Securities Law" came out.

Not only brokers, securities dealers, and major companies are involved in this battle, but also politicians and judges are fighting for their own interests.

As the English "Fraser's Magazine" said, New York has a unique tradition. To win a lawsuit, it is not only necessary to spend money to hire a good lawyer, but also to spend money to 'hire' a secretly trustworthy judge. ③

The rise or fall of a stock, who can have the control of the cornucopia-like railway, is not a simple business behavior.For example, bribing judges, introducing laws from the judicial level, or containing or helping a certain party to win.

It can be seen that in this era, business, politics, and justice are almost everywhere without corruption, and fair trade never exists.

At the moment, there is no investment, only speculation.

Wall Street is playing the reality of heaven and hell jumping back and forth every day, and most people's wallets are not in their own hands.However, once the vast majority of people step into this place, they never think about stopping losses in time until they go bankrupt.

Last year, a railroad stock rights battle ended in exhaustion.

Some people become capital upstarts and call the wind and rain, and some people are penniless and never turn around.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Minton."

Reporter Weasley waved enthusiastically, looking so bright that it was impossible to see that he had ever been buried alive in a coffin.

Mary nodded with a smile, "It's been a while, you seem to be fine."

"Of course, exposing the Hermes Society's forgery ring will keep me entertained for months."

Reporter Weasley once again thanked the benefactor who saved him from death. "Mr. Minton, I can still stand in front of the church today. Firstly, I am grateful for God's blessing, and secondly, thank you for your timely help. I have always wanted to send my sincere thanks, and recently I finally found a good opportunity."

More than a month ago, Mr. Minton anonymously published a manuscript on the precautions for riding a hot air balloon, which is not a thank you gift at all.If you want to publish a certain type of article as a thank you gift, you must make a big one.

Weasley said bluntly that the railroad financial war that ended last year had a huge impact on Wall Street, so much so that even the chaotic Wall Street realized that some changes had to be made.

"The New York Stock Exchange and the public exchange have a clear intention to merge. After that, it will be easier to formulate regulations on Wall Street, and speculators can no longer be allowed to manipulate the market as before."

Seizing the moment, this is the right time to make people more intuitively aware of how chaotic Wall Street has been before.

"Taking advantage of the restructuring, you might as well write a related treatise to expose the past of Wall Street. You know, there has never been a similar book published before."

Weasley knew that he wasn't the only one with such thoughts, there were always some daring people who dared to tell the truth, but others didn't seem to have found a distribution channel. "I thought of you first. You are wise, brave, and kind. You may be interested in becoming the main author. What do you think?"

The two did not find a coffee shop to sit down and discuss, but stood on the road next to the Trinity Church and chatted directly.

Mary thought the location was well chosen.

The so-called partition has ears, it is better to stand on the road to discuss, the people coming and going can see clearly, and those people can't hear their whispered conversations at all.

At this moment, Mary looked at Trinity Church, bathed in early spring sunshine.I really doubt whether Weasley is here to give a thank you gift, or to dig a big hole for her?

With the hot air balloon scandal, she is also famous.That's just as a person involved in entertainment news, and it's different from being an exposer of the chaos on Wall Street.

"I don't enjoy being famous."

Mary didn't lie, "The most important thing to be able to detect the counterfeiting case is the concerted efforts of everyone in the Boston business community. Bad money did not drive out good money."

Reporter Weasley's face turned bitter, "Don't you have any interest in writing "A Memoir of Financial Chaos on Wall Street"?"

That may not be true.

Mary has not yet penetrated into Wall Street in this era, although the title of inventor of the stock ticker has made her known to most people on this street.

This meeting is idle anyway, and it is not impossible to investigate in depth.No one is rich without windfall, and she thinks she has to speculate on vulgar things, and she can also write a memorandum of investigation by the way.

"A book cannot be written overnight, it must be done through on-the-spot investigation and operation."

Mary then made the most important request, "But one thing is the premise, I don't want to reveal my real name. Mr. Weasley, you come forward as my authorized agent, and I only leave a code name "M", is that okay? "

Why do you have to be so low-key?

Weasley was very puzzled. Judging from his age, he was ten years older than Mr. Minton, and he still remembered that he was very flamboyant when he was under twenty.

Even though he didn't quite understand, he still nodded, "Okay, dear Mr. M, this is a trivial request, and I have no objection."

"That's good."

Mary pretended not to see Weasley's confusion. She didn't intend to keep a low profile, but she didn't want to be sacked on the road.After all, she can only do things like putting on sacks to others, and there must be no role reversal.

To expose the malpractices of the industry, it is necessary to enter it.

Weasley knew several securities brokers of acceptable character, and introduced Mr. Minton to them as clients.

Mary began her days on Wall Street.This spring, she is in the world of vanity, and all she can see is the surging waves of money.

After nightfall, every scene of feasting and feasting, the acquaintance of people has nothing to do with the compatibility of feelings, but only with how much interest can be earned.

As expected, Mary did not meet 'Madame Roman' again, even though they were both in New York.

She had an intuition that the person who liked to be alone and hated running around would not be able to appear at various receptions if it was not necessary.

Failure to meet again may be a good omen.It represents that New York maintains a certain degree of calm.

At this time, there was a turmoil in the Office of the Department of Mathematics, University of C, New York.

"God! Why did I wait two months to see this little paper? Oh no, it's definitely not small, and it will definitely shake the mathematics world."

Professor Green was reviewing a pile of university admission application materials, but he never expected that one of the answer sheets on probability theory would make him aroused.

In the middle and late nineteenth century, the development of probability theory broke through the classical meaning in statistical physics, but its axiomatic system was not yet mature, and it lagged far behind other branches of mathematics.

In front of you!hands!

Professor Green clutched this small paper tightly in his hand, which gave him a glimpse of the possibility of establishing an axiomatic system of probability theory.

Who wrote this?

It actually appeared in the answer to an essay question for an undergraduate applicant!

Professor Green couldn't wait to dig out the applicant's information, and his eyes were locked on the line of "Mark Minton".

"Oh, my God, it's the bloody prejudice that has misled me."

Professor Green patted himself on the head suddenly. Of course he remembered the name. It was a student recommended by his college classmate George.

Despite Minton's courteous approach to the visit, Professor Green and his colleagues were inevitably a little biased.

Because of the hot air balloon scandal that caused a sensation in the world, I always felt that such a high-profile and fancy young man who pursued widows was not suitable for the mathematics department.As a result, the application materials were held back for further review.

Damn it doesn't fit!

Unless this dissertation is cheating and asking someone to write it for someone else, Minton is the perfect fit for the Department of Mathematics, and it is a talent that every top school is going to grab.

Whether you are a ghostwriter or not, you will know when you try it face-to-face.

In the face of mathematical theory, the authenticity of knowledge is very easy to distinguish.

Professor Green suddenly yelled with great remorse, and even drew a knock on the door from his colleagues.

Then there were exclamations one after another, and colleagues expressed that they should hurry up and catch Mington, oh no, Mington was invited to come for an interview.I'm afraid that this student will end up in another family.

"Hey! Green, you must not miss the student Minton. Does the style of this essay remind you of anyone?"

Professor Arthur said, "Do you still remember my junior Moriarty? 15 years ago, when he graduated from university, he published "Asteroid Mechanics", which shocked the academic world. It is simply the pinnacle book of pure mathematics in recent years. "

Unfortunately, not later.

It turned out that the academic circles thought that there would be one more academic master who would go down in history, but James Moriarty resigned a few years after joining a university in northern England.

"It's been almost ten years. I heard that Moriarty has become a businessman. It's a pity."

Professor Arthur shook his head, "This time, I hope to witness the birth of a great mathematician. What a coincidence, Minton and Moriarty, both of them have the initial letter M, maybe this is the arrangement of fate?"
