399 Go home
Strange to say, lightning and thunder roared at sea, and heavy rain drifted. But when the ship docked at 5 o'clock in the evening, it was already clear and there was no rain at all, and the sun in the sky was still hanging hot.
Until they disembarked, Captain William did not find the murderer. Zhou Min has also been paying attention to whether Qian Li got off the boat, but to her disappointment, all the people who got off the boat in Macau were gone, and she didn't see the potential, so she didn't know if she didn't get off or deliberately avoided them.
When Zhou Min left Shanghai, she had quietly informed the second elder of the Zhou family that she would arrive at Macau Gate at 5 o'clock in the evening.
So Zhou Yaozu had already sent people to wait at the pier, and it was already dark in the north at five o'clock in the afternoon, but in Macao, a place with a low latitude, the sun was still hanging in the sky, and he stubbornly refused to get off work, and now the degree of dawn was about the same as three or four o'clock in Henan.
The person who came to pick them up was Steward Fang, there were many people waiting to pick up relatives and friends on the dock, almost all of the rich and powerful drove cars, and ordinary people would also hire a rickshaw.
Zhou Min saw Steward Fang from afar. The old butler was still dressed in a long gown, a top hat, and leather shoes. In the bustling crowd, it looks like an extraordinary identity.
Zhou Min subconsciously quickened his pace. Chen Yunzhang, the big man and others hurriedly followed.
The old butler saw a few men walking briskly towards him, and he squinted his eyes to take a closer look. Then he said excitedly, "It's Miss!" and he quickly took off his top hat and waved it a few times.
There are still more than 10 meters left, and Zhou Min almost ran over. When he stood in front of Steward Fang, he was already with tears in his eyes.
"Uncle Fang, I'm back. Zhou Min said with a little choked up.
The old housekeeper was also emotionally uncontrollable. His eyes were red and he said excitedly: "Miss, it's good for you to come back, it's good to come back, the lord and the wife miss you very much, let's go home quickly." ”
"Are my parents okay, how are they doing?"
"The old lady is in good health, but she misses the young lady and the young master. Now that the young lady is back, the lord and the lady must be very, very happy. ”
Zhou Min calmed down his emotions for a while, and introduced Chen Yunzhang to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Fang, this is Wei Mo. This time, I came back with me to meet my parents. ”
What kind of person is Steward Fang, his hair is hollow, the essence of the human essence, hearing Zhou Min say this, and then thinking of some rumors, he suddenly understood. Hurriedly greeted politely: "Mr. Chen, please get in the car, let's go home." ”
After the group got into the car, they immediately left the dock.
Macau is still dominated by the Portuguese, and it is strange to say that almost all of Asia was affected during World War II, but Macau is like an isolated island in the midst of disaster. Japan did not send troops to Macao, and of course there was a lot of infiltration in private, but it did not send formal troops as in other places.
The reasons for this are: first, Macao is much inferior to Hong Kong, and if it can occupy Hong Kong, it will be more meaningful than Macao; second, Portugal was one of the few neutral countries during World War II, and its relations with Germany are also good, so it can be regarded as a half-ally with Japan; third, there are also many Japanese living in Macao, and it is not beneficial for these Japanese to launch large-scale armed attacks.
So many people fled the war and came to Hong Kong and Macau. Like Du Yuesheng in Shanghai, he went to Hong Kong, and Zhou Min's father came to Macau.
The streets in Macau are not very wide, and the city's planning is much worse than Shanghai's.
The car was not driving fast, Zhou Min and Chen Yunzhang could also enjoy the scenery along the way, and Steward Fang sat in the co-pilot like a gold medal tour guide, constantly introducing the two of them to the more famous places in Macau.
"Miss, this place is called the Ruins of St. Paul's, which is a more iconic building in Macau. It was originally the site of St. Paul's Church, and "Samba" is the Cantonese transliteration of "St. Paul". The church was rebuilt after three fires until October 26, 1835, when the last fire burned down to the front wall of the main entrance of the church, which was named "Ruins of St. Paul's" because it resembles a traditional Chinese archway. ”
Chen Yunzhang continued: "The Ruins of St. Paul's is a combination of European Renaissance and Oriental architectural styles, reflecting the fusion of Eastern and Western arts, with fine carvings and majestic magnificence. It is composed of three to five layers of triangular pyramid shape, whether it is the towering cross at the top of the torii, or the statue of the Holy Child under the bronze dove and the statue of the Virgin surrounded by angels and flowers, all of which are full of a strong religious atmosphere and give people a beautiful enjoyment. The various statues on the torii are lifelike, and it can be said that it is a "three-dimensional Bible". I've always wanted to come to Macau to see if the real Ruins of St. Paul's are the same as those recorded in the book. ”
Seeing that Chen Yunzhang said that the head was the way, Zhou Min looked at him with a shocked face. I didn't expect this guy to be so cultured
Chen Yunzhang smiled a little proudly.
"Miss, we'll be home in five minutes. ”
Zhou Min heard that there were still 5 minutes, and he didn't know why he was suddenly a little nervous. In Macau, it is not a timidity of being close to home, but it is also a timidity of being close to home.
Chen Yunzhang seemed to see her nervousness, held her small hand with his big hand, and whispered in her ear: "Minmin, don't be stressed, you are happy, and your uncle and aunt will be relieved when they see you."
A few minutes later, the car entered the villa.
Zhou Min got out of the car and looked at the Zhou Mansion in Macau.
Rich people live comfortably wherever they go. After Zhou Min got out of the car, there was a fountain with a diameter of about 5 meters in front of him. The perimeter is paved with white cobblestones, and the outer ring is a blue lawn. The courtyard where the fountain is located is not small. It is about 50 meters wide and nearly 100 meters long. The villa is built on a hill and is three storeys high, and the shape is also in the form of Western architecture, with some carvings on it. Zhou Min felt that this should be the style of ancient Greece, and the gate was a white arch, which looked noble and elegant.
There is security in important areas throughout the villa estate. These people, in suits and leather shoes. With a guy in his hand, Zhou Min even found a secret whistle in two hidden places.
Walking past the fountain, Zhou Min saw the second elder of the Zhou family at the door, and she ran over quickly.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also greeted him, if it weren't for the need to maintain the reserve of the head of the family, Zhou Yaozu would be eager to rush over now.
The parents in front of him became clearer and clearer, as if they had overlapped with the faces of their parents in their previous lives, and Zhou Min's tears couldn't help but flow down. She hugged Zhou's mother and said in a choked voice, "Mom, I'm back." Then he hugged Zhou Yaozu hard and said, "Dad, I'm back, my daughter misses you so much." ”
A calm businessman like Zhou Yaozu, who collapsed in front of him and did not move, also had red eyes at this moment. And Zhou's mother couldn't stop wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
This is Uncle Fang and Chen Yunzhang also walked over. Steward Fang said with a smile: "Old lady, it's a pleasure for the young lady to come back." Come into the house and sit down and talk, and there are guests.
Hearing Uncle Fang say this, the second elder of the Zhou family noticed Chen Yunzhang and the others.
Zhou Yaozu hurriedly said: "Everyone, please come in, you have been traveling all the way, come in and rest." ”
