Immersed in the white porcelain bathtub of the hotel, Liao Wanyu couldn't help but think of the scene of the third-class carriage, what made her more sensitive than the picture was the strange smell mixed by the smell of sweat, chicken and duck and other unknown smells that seemed to remain in her nasal cavity now.

She submerged herself in the water, and then a few bubbles rose in the water where the milk had been filled, and she snorted and sat up again.

Yesterday I spent the night on the train, and the train "clanged" sounded, and she didn't feel it during the day, but at night she couldn't sleep at all. I don't know how Zhen Gu in the box next door got up early in the morning without fatigue.

As soon as I got out of the Jiangning Railway Station, I was received, and the black Packard tail was emitting white smoke in the early winter of Jiangning.

It's cold......

Liao Wanyu wrapped Zhen Gu's coat tightly, she had never been to the north, how did she know that it was so cold, and her thickest clothes couldn't withstand the cool breeze. Fortunately, Zhen Gu had a lot of clothes and put a long woolen coat on her, so that she would not feel that she was going to freeze to death in Jiangning.

No, as soon as she arrived at the Changfu Hotel, the first thing she did was to take a hot bath and warm up.

When the phone rang in the room, Liao Wanyu was startled, she opened her eyes and stared at the bathroom door, and was about to come out of the bathtub when the ringtone was broken.

With his eyes closed, he sank into the water again, and after three or five minutes, there was another knock on the door.

Liao Wanyu stumbled out of the bathtub, wiped it with a towel again, put on the thick bathrobe and fastened it tightly, and ran over to open the door a small crack.

It was Zhen Gu, because no one answered the phone just now, he was a little worried, so he came over and knocked on the door directly.

"I'll clean up when I'm done, and I'll take you to buy some thick clothes."

……

Shanghai Golden Gate Garment Company's branch in Jiangning is the leading garment shop in Jiangning, with experienced Shanghai sewing masters, exquisite craftsmanship and novel style.

It is said that the new fashionable clothes in Paris, France, introduced by the "Golden Gate", will appear on the streets of Shanghai in about ten days, and at most in three or five days, they will enter Jiangning.

Liao Wanyu looked at the fashion magazines from France and the United States ordered by "Golden Gate" at a high price, those fashionable clothes and fashionable styles, and she couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

Expensive, right? That's the only thing she thinks right now.

Since she knew that it was not easy to make money, Liao Wanyu inevitably had to calculate a number in her mind for everything.

Zhen Gu had ordered two suits here earlier, and this time he came just in time to take them away, and when he came out of the fitting room, he saw Liao Wanyu holding a magazine, and his eyes were about to look straight.

"Do you have a favorite?"

Liao Wanyu shook her head, "Not too ...... Fit me. ”

Zhen Gu looked at the pictures in the magazine, the blonde woman in the picture was slender, and the long skirt on her body exposed her shoulders and neck, which was indeed not suitable for her.

He leaned over and took the magazine from her lap, pulled her up and walked to the back room, "There are some ready-to-wear clothes here, see if you like them." ”

Liao Wanyu was embarrassed to ask the price of women's clothing, so she tentatively asked Zhen Gu about the suit on her body, and when she heard that it cost eight or nine thousand yuan, she was inevitably shocked again.

"Make money like this?" She asked in a low voice, "Our best tailor in Luzhou, a cheongsam is only a few hundred yuan......

Zhen Gu felt that she was simple and cute, and just about to reach out to touch her cheek, she immediately reflected that her behavior would probably make her feel inappropriate, so she went to rub her head instead.

"The family is big, and you deserve what you buy."

Liao Wanyu understood this, he asked her to remember her identity, as the fifth lady of the Liao family, there was nothing wrong with her wearing a few expensive dresses.

But is she?

Liao Wanyu was confused.

At the urging of Zhen Gu, Liao Wanyu hurriedly chose two thicker dresses and a light-colored plaid collar wool coat, and finally it was not cold on the way to the hotel.

Once her body began to function normally, Liao Wanyu's mind became clear, and she sat in the car back to the hotel, and suddenly remembered that she didn't know the purpose of coming to Jiangning to participate in the industry persuasion meeting......

Telling his doubts to Zhen Gu beside him, he just smiled.

"If you go tomorrow, you can go shopping at will, and if you think it is novel, just write it down, and if you have a leaflet, you can take it if you want."

"That's it?"

"Oh......" Zhen Gu seemed to remember something, "There's a social event tomorrow night, I may need a dance partner, and I'll have to trouble you then." ”

"Me?" Liao Wanyu shook her head again and again, "No, no, no, the dance steps are still taught in middle school, and I have long forgotten them." ”

She hasn't danced with the opposite sex yet...... When I was in school, girls practiced with girls, and boys practiced with boys.

"I can't take Secretary Pan with me."

Although Liao Wanyu was educated to be a celebrity, according to Master Liao's intentions, she didn't start social activities until she was sixteen years old, so although she should have done everything, she hadn't actually seen anything in the world.

This is not only the first time to go out of the country, but also the first time to appear in public.

She was nervous at the same time, but also a little excited.

###

The Nanyang Industry Association was jointly initiated by the Governor of Liangjiang, Lord Fang, and the people of Tai. With the cooperation of the government and the people, the government prepared 700,000 taels of silver, and the business people in Shanghai and Nanjing raised another 300,000 taels.

The organizers conscientiously learned from the operation experience of Europe and the United States and other countries, and set up a special "Nanyang Industry Association Office", which was actively responded to by relevant people at home and abroad for a time, with more than 700 acres of land in the main venue, with the local pavilion as the center, dozens of provincial officials and professional officials in the periphery, and more Nanyang Islands, Singapore and other countries participated.

Liao Wanyu and Zhen Gu are both guests with invitations, she was still with Zhen Gu at first, and walked around the museum for a while, although the things here are also very rare, but after all, she is worried about the foreign exhibits displayed in the reference hall, Zhen Gu just said a few words to acquaintances, and she has already disappeared.

At first, she was attracted by the books of Britain and the United States, and then her eyes were amazed by the advanced mechanical and electrical equipment and war equipment and war products.

"I don't know, the girls in your country are also interested in military supplies?"

The strange tone of Chinese sounded in Liao Wanyu's ears, and she looked back to see a tall, blonde European man standing beside her. His head was slightly raised, and there was contempt in his eyes.

"You should go, the circus, or, the botanical garden. Oh! It's also a good idea to have a cup of coffee and listen to music in the concert hall. He tilted his head and paused as he said this, "Coffee, do you know what coffee is?" ”

The foreigner's tone made her feel uncomfortable, but she comforted herself and thought that maybe they didn't have any malicious intentions, but they were just not proficient enough in our language.

Liao Wanyu smiled politely at him, considered a response, and then turned around and walked to the next exhibit, but the foreigner did not seem to plan to end the conversation with Liao Wanyu, he followed step by step, at first he was still speaking Chinese, and then directly spoke English.

Liao Wanyu didn't intend to pay attention to him, and still quietly focused on the exhibits, but when she heard him laughing at the Qing court because of Gengzi's reparations, she turned around and looked at him angrily, "Although I don't know what country you are from, I think Mr. should know that for women's sports, Europe and the United States have long developed rapidly." What I'm interested in should be my freedom, what does it matter to you? ”

Speaking of this, she sneered, "Besides, in my country, everything you do should be a family matter, and no matter how many problems there are, it will not be the turn of others to point fingers." ”

She spoke both of these passages in English, and although she was not a pure English accent, she was very fluent, which attracted people in the neighborhood to stop.

The foreign man didn't expect her to understand, and what was even more surprising was that she could still refute her words in English, and he was more curious at the moment than he was angry after being confronted.

"You will, you know the language of our country!" He would change to a broken Chinese language, as if to show that he also knew Liao Wanyu's language.

"If nothing else, I'll take my leave." Liao Wanyu didn't want to entangle with him, nodded slightly, turned around and left.

But the man didn't seem to intend to stop there, he followed step by step, "I apologize, I apologize for what I said!" ”

Stopping, Liao Wanyu looked at him sideways, "Sir, I accept your apology, and I believe that my country will also accept your apology." But please don't bother me anymore, okay? I want to see the exhibition quietly. ”

After listening to Liao Wanyu's words, he waved his hand one after another, "No, no, no, please let me compensate you, I can...... I can show you our exhibits! I, introduce you to him! ”

Liao Wanyu thought, he probably said to introduce the exhibits to her...... Otherwise, how can you introduce her to the exhibits?

"Thank you for your kindness, I am sure that I can visit on my own."

"The sea, the sea! Let me introduce you to the ships on the sea! No, wooden boat, it's ......" He couldn't remember what "metal" should say for a while, so he hurriedly pulled up Liao Wanyu and ran.

"Hey! What are you doing! ”

The two didn't go far, and stopped at an exhibition area thirty or forty meters away.

The man seemed to offer a treasure, "This, mine!" He knocked a thick metal plate on his hand, "Cruiser, mine too!" ”

Liao Wanyu looked at the metal block in his hand, full of doubts, what does the cruising mean? If it has something to do with ships, is it a cruiser?

Wasn't that the merger of the four major sailors last year? But what does this have to do with the foreigners in front of you?

"Please let go."

Liao Wanyu pulled her sleeve out of the man's hand, and took a small step back without a trace, keeping herself at a distance from him.

The man seemed to remember that he was in front of a conservative Qing Dynasty woman, and he raised his hands apologetically to show that he had not done anything indecent.

"Hey! I'm Adair, just, make a friend? ”
