This is a well-decorated English study, a long mahogany desk, behind the desk is a whole wall of built-in bookshelves, the whole study is even more wide, at least more than 100 square meters.

The floor is covered with expensive Persian carpets, European-style round tables and sofas full of a sense of the times, and all the teacups, teapots, saucers and other utensils are the export models of the Qianlong official kiln, which are extremely exquisite, and each piece can be worth more than one or two hundred thousand yuan for future generations!

Ye Kai, who thought he would see Jenna in the evening, waited until the second afternoon to receive the invitation, and it was not Jenna's invitation, but her father, Warren, the governor of Fort William. Hastings' invitation was held at the Governor's Office in the main building of Belvedere Tower.

"Mr. Zinedin, tea, please!" When Ye Kai was observing this office, the door was opened from the outside, and a slightly chubby white-skinned woman led a string of Indian maids in.

They put the delicate tea bowls and plates on the round table in front of Ye Kai, afternoon tea has begun to become popular among the British in this era, of course, only the upper class has this condition and empty hope

"Mr. Governor has encountered a little surprise, you can eat something first and wait a while, although Mr. Zinedin is also a master cook, our desserts here are also very famous!" The fat lady at the head spoke again.

Ye Kai carefully identified it, and then remembered who this woman was, it was Mrs. Todd, who was a little related to Catherine the Great, she once listened to Ye Kai's detailed analysis of Tsarist Russia when she was in Chonburi, and asked Ye Kai to help her sort out a speech about Russia.

"Thank you, Mrs. Todd, your son, Mr. Todd, must have gone to Russia?"

Ye Kai asked with a misty smile on his face, Mrs. Todd once did, and his son Todd was favored by the empress and was invited to serve in Russia.

"Yes, Mr. Zinedin, he has already arrived in Russia, and he has also served as a clerk at the side of the Empress, and he has also participated in the war against the evil country of the Ottoman Empire, and he has written to you, your opinion on Russia, which has helped him a lot!" At the mention of her son, Todd, Mrs. Todd's face blossomed.

The two chatted for a few more words, and suddenly the sound of guards saluting came from outside the door. Hastings is coming.

Ye Kai also stood up, Warren. When Hastings pushed the door open, he happened to meet Ye Kai's eyes.

Ye Kai looked at the skinny Hastings in front of him in surprise, in his imagination, an iron-blooded colonist who was known for his cruelty and greed should be as majestic as a mountain, with a bucket waist, a hooked nose, triangular eyes, and a fierce and savage momentum all over his body.

But the Warren in front of me. Hastings subverted Ye Kai's impression, he is definitely less than one meter seven tall, and he is a little thin, with a bald forehead and a high hairline, and rich hair on both sides and some curls, which belongs to the typical English French style.

Dressed in a tweed, multi-breasted shirt and white leggings, he looked peaceful and elegant, not at all a cruel colonist, but rather a scholar of some civility.

“oh！ Zinedin, I didn't expect you to come to Kolkata so soon, it's good to see you again! ”

Ye Kai didn't say anything yet, Warren. Behind Hastings flashed Jenna in a man's outfit.

This girl seems to be plumper than the last time I saw it, with slender long legs wrapped in leggings, full of a seductive and streamlined beauty, and the buttocks also look curled, and the chest in the vest is also bulging.

She happily gave Ye Kai a gentle hug, and then looked at her father and introduced: "Zinedin, this is my father, Warren, the Governor of Fort William. Mr. Hastings! ”

Ye Kai couldn't bear not to peek at Jennaniu's beautiful legs and buttocks, not that he was still thinking about beauty at this time, but that Ye Kai had been in this world for more than half a year, and it was the first time he had met a girl in tight pants, which was similar to the dress of those beauty-loving girls in later generations, which made him feel very familiar and couldn't help but want to look at it twice.

"Mr. Hastings, I'm Zinedine from the East, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" Should bow his head and bow his head, Ye Kai behaved very humblely, in other people's territory, he was still a high-powered Indian governor, it was normal to be humble.

Proficiency in English Jean Warren. Hastings raised his eyebrows in surprise, at least he didn't need any translation, and he nodded faintly.

"I'm glad to meet you, Jenna, you're a rare Orientalist, and your exposition on Russia is brilliant and profound!"

Shook hands with Ye Kai, Warren. Hastings turned to look at Mrs. Todd at the door, "Julie, you go get some afternoon tea, I'm going to have a good chat with this Oriental scholar!" ”

"Mr. Zinedin, may I take the liberty of asking, are you a believer in the Lord?" As soon as he was seated, Mrs. Todd had just finished directing the maid to arrange the pastries and black tea. Hastings asked directly.

If the correct zz in Europe and the United States in later generations is to oppose zz discrimination, the correctness of the European zz in this era depends on whether you believe in Jesus Christ or not.

Whether it was bishopric France and Spain, or Protestant England and the Netherlands, they all regarded missionary work as important as colonization.

There is a basis for this, because no matter whether the colonists believe in bishops or Protestants, they will inevitably be influenced by European culture, so that they will have a sense of belonging to Europe in their hearts, and they will be culturally subordinate to Europe, which will play a narcotic role in Europe's cruel colonial rule.

According to later generations, the religious assimilation of Rao in Europe was very successful, and there were only two accidents in the world, one is the Confucian cultural circle in East Asia, except for the group of oblique disciples who use Christianity as a White Lotus to play, and the other is the territory of the belief in Fang Sect.

"Of course, as early as May of this year, Bishop Bertolox of the Foreign Church in Paris baptized me!" Ye Kai's cheeks twitched, and his hatred for Bai Duolu increased by another point.

"Alright! Then let's pray to the Lord and thank Him for giving us food and peace today! "Warren. Hastings nodded, then closed his eyes and began to pray.

Ye Kai also quickly closed his eyes and prayed skillfully, although the prayer methods of Protestants and bishops are different, they are generally the same.

Ye Kai now understood a little bit why Bai Duolu had to force him to be familiar with this set of things in Christianity, because he needed to use it anytime and anywhere.

Prayer over, Warren. Hastings took a sip of black tea and said: "I have heard the name of Bishop Badorous in India, although the French are a little inferior in terms of territory development, colonization and warfare, but they still do a good job in spreading the gospel of the Lord!"

Mr. Zinedin, I hear that your family is very influential in the Malay Peninsula? You also recently defeated the true masters of Pattani and turned hundreds of thousands of natives into slaves?

This is Mr. Zinedin, and from my point of view, a gentleman from a civilized country condemns it! ”

Ye Kai suddenly wanted to laugh, the word soil came out of the mouth of the European colonizers who were known for their cruelty and ruthlessness, which always made him feel ridiculous.

And when it comes to turning people into slaves, who is better than the British? How few black slaves were there in America?

Ye Kai didn't know Warren either. Why did Hastings suddenly get up with this, could it be that he wanted to send troops to fight the Malays in Pattani?

"Mr. Hastings, I don't agree with your suggestion of local Rao, my ancestors came to live in Pattani from Chinese mainland two hundred years ago, and when they arrived in Pattani, it was still a barren place, and now there are nearly 700,000 people living on this land.

These are the credit of my ancestors, and those Malays who will only wait for the fruit to fall from the tree, the Chinese are one of the most industrious races in the world, without them there would be no prosperous Pattani, if you really want to be a local Rao, I think the Chinese are the real locals in this land! ”

Ye Kai tried his best to express his opinion in a calm tone, "As for turning the Malays into slaves, I think this is a misunderstanding, although slavery does still exist in Siam, there are no cherry blossoms in Pattani

The Malays there did not turn into slaves, they went from aristocratic serfs to hired farmers! In a way, they were not made slaves, but liberated! ”
