Chapter 21: Jenna, the little girl

Ye Kai stood on the lawn, looking at the group of white people who came over, there were about fifteen or sixteen of them, but Peter was not here.

At the front was a white girl in a long white dress with a scarf on her face, and she was the one who had just played the piano.

She is not as big as other white women, but reveals a kind of oriental style of small and exquisite, and there is a kind of indescribable nobility in her temperament, and the tall French officers who walked with her on both sides are reflected like bodyguards!

"Don't howl Roy! Don't be so rude, this kind of scream should not appear in the mouth of a soldier! ”

Marco checked it and found that his son was not too badly injured, looking at his mouth full of blood and red and swollen cheeks, but he only lost two teeth!

Roy endured the pain and blinked his eyes at his father, he thought he would be comforted, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded!

Marco glanced at his son with hatred, and in front of so many people, the dignified Dutch Army Second Lieutenant Officer in Batavia was easily knocked down by a yellow-skinned boy, and rolled and howled regardless of etiquette, what a shame!

"Two gentlemen, can anyone tell me what happened? In the midst of this wonderful and beautiful music, you guys are actually fighting? This is an unforgivable blasphemy! ”

The petite girl spoke, with irrepressible anger on her face and words, and it seemed that she was very angry that she had just started playing the piano and was interrupted, and she knew that her identity must not be simple just by listening to her tone!

"Miss Jenna, this hateful yellow man attacked my son, he took advantage of a European gentleman's inattention to launch a sneak attack, this despicable sneak attacker should be punished severely!" Marco hurried over to the petite girl named Jenna and said loudly.

"That's not the way it is! It was this Mr. Roy who insulted Zinedin, and Zinedin started beating him! Before Ye Kai could speak, Anna hurriedly picked up the corner of her skirt and ran over to defend him!

However, although Anna defended, the Caucasian people on the lawn all looked at Ye Kai with a not very friendly gaze.

In the eyes of Europeans in this era, no matter what indigenous people attacked a white man for whatever reason, it was unforgivable!

"Zinedin? Yellow race, is this your name? Sounds weird! The girl called Miss Jenna first smiled at Anna, then turned her head and asked Ye Kai!

She didn't use French this time, but spoke English, and her eyes were full of pity when she looked at Ye Kai, like looking at a poor stray puppy!

Ye Kai twisted his body uncomfortably, he was not as uncomfortable as he was now when he was watched by more than a dozen people just now, but he still replied patiently: "Yes, noble miss, Zinedin is my name, you can also call me Ye Kai!" ”

Ye Kai also uses English, in the previous life on the earth, English is the most widely spoken language in the world, Ye Kai and their members of the maritime detachment who face international disputes at any time can almost everyone speak!

"I've heard Mr. Peter say that a French-speaking native is coming today, and that's you! I didn't expect you to speak English so well, but this accent is a little rude! ”

Jenna chick opened her eyes with a round face of surprise, at this time, the common language in Europe is French, and English is not very good on the stage, so this little beauty, who is likely to be British, was very surprised, and also commented on Ye Kai's accent by the way!

You actually said that my eldest sister, you look at the accent rude? Ye Kai was a little unconvinced!

Roy and his father Marco glanced at each other, they hadn't been back to Europe for generations, and it was very cool to be a white man on the island of Java, neither of them had worked hard to learn English, so he didn't understand, but looking at Jenna's happy face, the two suddenly felt that something was wrong!

"Alright! Today should be a good day, you two, and I don't want to pursue it too much, so I might as well ask a question, and if this Mr. Zinedin can answer it, I will give this jeweled necklace that I bought from a Mysore nobleman to Mr. Roy as a 'memorial' for his wounds! ”

As soon as the word "compassionate pension" came out, all the French people present showed smiling expressions, in their eyes, Ye Kai was certainly an uncivilized yellow race, and as a white man who had been born for several generations, Roy's status in the white circle was not much higher than Ye Kai's!

"If Mr. Roy is right, you'll have to pay for this gemstone necklace!"

After Jenna finished speaking, she winked mischievously at Ye Kai, "But don't worry!" The price won't be too expensive! ”

Ye Kai had a strange feeling, he felt that this Jenna chick was a bit like she was deliberately targeting Marco father and son, according to the usual practice, shouldn't white people help white people?

"What if both of them get it right?" Anna quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Kai's family is still quite rich, and it shouldn't be a problem to buy a necklace, but he still asked a little uneasy!

"If both of you get it right, well... Then I'll give Mr. Roy a double gift! Jenna tilted her head slightly and thought for a while and said, but the faces of Marco and his son were not very good-looking, and Roy was even more swollen and wanted to object!

"Mr. Marko! Zinedinh is King Nguyen's envoy and a guest I have invited, and I think Miss Jenna's way of dealing with it is acceptable! ”

At this very moment, Peter slowly walked over, surrounded by two missionaries!

Peter is the master and a very famous archbishop, and the French here are also recruited by him, so as soon as he speaks, even if he is not very convinced, Marco and his son can only reluctantly agree!

"That's it! Then I'm going to ask! Jenna had a sweet smile on her face, a little excited!

"My question is, what did I just play?"

Belch.... Roy gave his father an embarrassed look, the piano was actually the first time he had seen it, and there were no good Western-style schools in Batavia.

In fact, the cultural level of Europeans in this era is not high, and the literacy rate is pitifully low!

Although Roy did not become illiterate by relying on his father as a business counselor, he did not reach the point where he could recognize piano music at will, not to mention that he had just been beaten and dazed, and he didn't hear it clearly at all!

Looking at Roy's dumbfounded expression, Jenna nodded with satisfaction, he didn't want this pig's head to be a little lustful to answer, this guy was too rude!

However, this yellow man shouldn't be able to answer, it's over! I didn't say what to do if I couldn't answer both of them just now, and I made a mistake, and the girl was a little annoyed in her heart!

"This is supposed to be a prelude in E by Maestro Sebastian Bach, and as for the exact number, I really can't remember, maybe only someone with a lot of musical knowledge like Miss Jenna can tell it!"

Thanks to his girlfriend who specializes in teaching piano to children, Ye Kai is very familiar with this kind of music with a bit of light rhythm, although he can't distinguish each one carefully, but he can roughly guess it.

This is the benefit of the information explosion in later generations, and the knowledge that later generations are casually exposed to is very difficult in this era!

"Wow! How is this possible? Jenna covered her mouth and cried out in surprise, although this yellow man named Zinedin didn't answer correctly, but it was already amazing!

She couldn't understand how a native who had always lived in the Far East knew that it was a prelude in E key.

Not only was Jenna surprised, but everyone on the side was stunned, even Peter took a deep look at Ye Kai, and the light in his eyes flashed!
