"Woooooo The whistle of the Triumph cruise ship sounded again, this should be the last urging before the cruise set sail, most of the passengers had already boarded the ship, only a few sporadic passengers were still checking in at the gangway to board the ship, the first mate Mike was taking the passenger list to count the passengers who had boarded the ship one by one, and there was only one Chinese passenger named David Zhang missing, Mike looked at the watch on his wrist, shrugged his shoulders, walked to the captain and said: "Report to Captain Phillips, there is only one Chinese passenger missing, should we wait?" ”

Phillips is a bearded middle-aged man in his forties, with a typical Nordic muscular body, high nose bridge, blue-gray eyes, the captain's mood is not very good these days, at this time he is holding a pipe, looking gloomily at the same hazy sky, Phillips just quarreled with a young Chinese female passenger because of the hygiene of the cabin, and now after hearing Mike's report, he took the pipe out of his mouth and said impatiently: "Chinese, how can it be Chinese again, Do they just look for trouble? Mike, we won't wait, order the anchor and set sail! ”

"Okay, you're up on board!" First mate Mike said a joke and turned away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Triumph finally gave the signal to set sail, the huge iron anchor slowly rose from the sea, the sailors were busy preparing to put away the gangway, and everything was in order. At this moment, there was a sudden rush shout, "Wait a minute, please wait a minute...... The people on the side of the boat all looked at it, and saw a person staggering not far away.

"Looks like the last traveler is here!" Mike said to himself. Then Mike turned his head to look at Captain Phillips not far away, as if waiting for the captain's final orders.

"In that case, let him come up! It's annoying! Seeing the captain speak, Mike smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, you have the final say on the ship!" Then he instructed the sailors to put the gangway down again.

At this time, the late passenger was getting closer and closer, and the people on the side of the "coaxing" boat let out a burst of laughter. Phillips didn't know what was happening, so he glanced down the ship, only to realize that it was all the Chinese passenger.

"Look, this traveler's outfit is a clown!" First mate Mike quipped. Isn't it? The last passenger to arrive was a young man, wearing a black tuxedo on his upper body and a top hat on his head, although it was a little awkward, he couldn't find much fault with it, but he looked down and saw that the passenger was clearly wearing a pair of pajama pants on his legs, and the leather shoes on his feet were not a pair. Look at the bulging suitcase he was carrying, the lid was not yet securely closed, and one sleeve of his shirt and one of his trouser legs were still pulled outside.

Phillips did not laugh, but furrowed his brows, spat out the smoke ring, and said to the first mate: "Even if such a person is on the boat, do not let him wander around, lest he disturb other passengers." ”

"But, but this David Zhang is booking first class?" First mate Mike said in embarrassment as he flipped through the list of passengers in his hand.

"It's really annoying, this person starts as soon as he gets on the boat!" Phillips grumbled, then turned and walked towards his captain's quarters.

"Okay, you're up on board!" Mike shrugged his shoulders and muttered.

"Oh, I'm really tired of Young Master Ben!" The late passenger threw the heavy suitcase on the deck, panting incessantly, he reached out to take out the handkerchief from his trouser pocket to wipe the sweat from his face, and touched it, "Huh? Why can't I find my trouser pocket? While thinking about it, he looked down, only to realize that he was still wearing pajama pants on his legs, "Hey! I must have drunk too much wine at the farewell party with my friends last night, slept until nine o'clock in the morning, and forgot to change my clothes in a hurry. At this time, he felt that his feet seemed to be very awkward, and when he stretched out his feet from the fat trouser legs, he even laughed out loud, "Young Master Ben is famous, and he actually wears the same shoes." The traveler said to himself. His laughter drew mocking glances from the people on board again. He also noticed this, looked around, and muttered, "Whatever, no one here knows Young Master Ben anyway." ”

This embarrassed Chinese young man is one of the protagonists of this book, his name is Zhang Jizu, his ancestral home is in a water town called Tao Town in Zhejiang, speaking of the Zhang family in the town and even the county is second to none of the rich, the Zhang family is three generations of single transmission, the old lady of the Zhang family Zhang Deshan was in his forties before giving birth to Zhang Jizu, but this baby son is regarded as a pearl in the palm of the hand, that is really "in the mouth of the fear of melting, holding in the palm of the hand for fear of scare." "Pampered since childhood, say nothing, spend money like running water, which has also developed a young master's problem, and later when Zhang Jizu was nineteen years old, the world suddenly became chaotic, and even the silent Taozhen heard the terrifying news: the imperial court let the revolutionary party be overthrown! Mrs. Zhang is worried that the war will burn to his hometown, and he is also afraid that he will not see it one day, and his eldest baby son will become a loser if nothing comes true, so where will he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Zhang family! Thinking of this, Zhang Deshan consulted several respected old-timers in the town, and then made up his mind to send Zhang Jizu abroad, first, to avoid the limelight, and secondly, to open his eyes and learn something "gilded".

It's just that the old man of the Zhang family thought very well, and the moment Zhang Jizu stepped out of the country with his feet, he felt that he was like a pigeon that had been controlled for a long time, and he could finally fly freely. Anyway, the Zhang family has money, Zhang Jizu's first stop was to Paris, and after staying for half a year, he felt that it was really boring to stay in one place, so he made up an idea of traveling the world in a year, and did it when he thought of it, so Zhang Jizu started from Paris, went to Berlin and Vienna, and then to Rome and Athens, and finally took a boat out of the Mediterranean Sea and went north to Stockholm. As for the British, Zhang Jizu felt that the British were not enthusiastic and too dull, so he directly deleted London in his plan. And David Zhang's name is not foreign, it was given to him by Zhang Jizu after he arrived in France, he thinks that this is called following the local customs, but the rich young master is the same everywhere, and there will be no change because you change your name, Zhang Jizu has been out of the ocean for nearly a year, and the foreign language is slippery, but in addition to lingering in various social places every day and getting to know a large number of fox friends and dog friends, his father let him learn the real skills at all.

But that all started to change when he received a telegram just two days earlier.
