Chapter XXVIII. Mrs. Brister
In the brightly lit hall, dozens of pairs of skilled or lame dancers turned the center of the main hall into a huge rotating stage, and people's feelings had reached a **: noble dancers, lavish balls, which made everyone very excited. 》. []
The same goes for John.
His right hand held Anna's back tightly, admiring her pretty little face, and John's feet turned lightly, only to feel as if he was about to fly.
In fact, John's dancing skills are quite good, and his mother, Elizabeth, is a very good dancer, and she has been teaching him various dance movements since she was a child, and when the two are bored, they will often dance to the accompaniment of Eliza's humming dance music. Now flying with Anna in this hall, although it was a little hectic at first, it only took a few tens of seconds to get used to it.
All that's left is to have fun.
When John invited Anna to dance with him very gentlemanly just now, he was worried that the other party would not agree, after all, he didn't make a good impression on her at first. But what he didn't expect was that this beautiful girl only hesitated a little and agreed. In fact, John also underestimated his attractiveness, for the girls of this era, not to mention John's tall figure and relatively good looks, even his unique temperament also has enough attraction.
There are always some perks for the traverser.
On the dance floor, the two are undoubtedly the most eye-catching couple.
Don't look at the tall and big Germans in later generations, but in this era of more than a hundred years, they are really not tall, and they will slowly grow taller after several generations of growth with the improvement of nutritional conditions. And John is now 1.85 meters, and Anna is also over 1.7 meters, and their tall figures make them quickly have a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
So Pique, in the corner of the hall, burst into tears again......
……
After dancing together, John and Anna returned to Peake's side with a slight gasp, both blush after a brief moment of excitement. When the song reached the last half of the song, both of them felt very compatible with each other, especially Anna, who usually danced with her with very few people of John's size, and this time I finally experienced a different feeling.
But just as they were about to take a break and dance again later, a middle-aged lady in her forties suddenly walked over and said with a warm smile on her face, "Anna, are these two your new friends?" ”
Anyone could see that this noble lady must be Anna's mother.
is almost like a face carved out of a mold, the same tall figure, and similar style of clothing, the two are the same in the same vein.
"Mom!"
Sure enough, after seeing the middle-aged lady, the originally bright smile on Anna's face suddenly subsided a lot, and she hurriedly smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. John Huntelaar, an American, who is now studying at the University of Berlin. ”
"Hello, Mrs. Brister, it's a pleasure to meet you."
John hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"And this one is a friend of Mr. Huntelaar, a native of Berlin......"
When Pique was introduced, Anna was suddenly a little embarrassed. She couldn't remember if Pique had introduced himself, but it was clear that Anna certainly didn't remember the name of the "passerby" other than knowing him as a local.
Swallowing tears in his stomach, Peake introduced himself respectfully with a gentlemanly salute: "Picke Schwartz, it's an honor to meet you, Mrs. Brister!" ”
After the two saluted, the lady also bowed slightly, and then carefully looked at John in front of her.
Of course she saw Anna and John dancing in the hall just now, and while she was proud of her daughter, she couldn't help but pay attention to the tall young man. I have to say that John's appearance is very good, and his polite appearance is also very easy to gain the favor of others......
At least on the surface, John and Anna were quite a good match.
Of course, it was just a dance together, and Mrs. Brister hadn't thought much about it, she just subconsciously took a little interest in the young man in front of her, and came over to meet him.
With Mrs. Brister's joining, John naturally couldn't invite Anna to dance, but he was a little reluctant to leave, so he chatted with the mother and daughter. But Pique, who was hurt in his heart, felt bored after chatting for a few words, so he simply left after a polite two-word speech. By John and Anna's side, he always felt like an outsider, and Mrs. Brister had not changed much since she got involved, and it was better to have fun on her own.
“…… What did Mr. Huntelaar study at the University of Berlin? ”
After a little small talk, Mrs. Brister asked a question that was also of great concern to Anna.
"I was in medical school."
John smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Mr. Huntelaar wants to be a physician?"
After hearing this answer, Brest's wife frowned slightly. She does not look down on the profession of doctors, after all, medicine has been one of the three major disciplines since ancient times, and in recent years, Germany has had a lot of development in the field of medicine, so that ordinary people more and more understand the importance of this discipline, and the status of doctors has also been greatly improved. But in general, except for a very small number of people, the profession of physicians is not a high-income group now, and looking at John's rather elegant dress and the pair of leather shoes on his feet, it is indeed difficult for Mrs. Brister to imagine that an American student studying medicine can afford it!
Of course, she didn't know that this dress was a diplomatic suit that John usually kept at home, and of course it was much more ordinary at school.
"Yes, it's my dream."
Under Anna's curious gaze, John nodded without thinking too much and smiled: "Although my grandfather may have preferred that I could learn some industrial or commercial knowledge in Germany so that I could inherit the family industry when I go back, but after coming here, I am now more interested in medicine, so I changed my plans temporarily...... Of course, I will not give up my family business while studying, just as I will help to find a partner in Germany right now! ”
With just a little muttering, John said one of the main purposes of coming to the ball tonight.
Getting to know more people, at least some entrepreneurs who were more capable than Peake and Luther, at this kind of high-class ball, was indeed John's main purpose, and the second was to follow up on this opportunity to relax and kill time.
But......
Perhaps John himself had not noticed that he had said this to Anna and Mrs. Brister, and it was likely that there was another meaning that he had not yet revealed......
After listening to John's words, Mrs. Brister got the answer, and while she was disapproving, she smiled and asked casually, "Oh? Does Mr. Huntelaar have plans to find a partner in Germany? Is it to help sell your industrial products? ”
Mrs. Brister had little interest in American goods.
"No, I want to build a factory in Berlin."
John shook his head and smiled, "I wonder if Madame has ever heard of the Flying Pigeon brand bicycle?" That's what I call a family business, and I'm currently looking for someone I can work with to build this bike in Berlin! ”
"Flying pigeon bike?"
After hearing John's words, Mrs. Brister and Miss Brister exclaimed in a low voice at the same time......
