438 Treasures Outside the Body
They also complained that the content of this so-called "naturalization training" was very suspicious in view of the fierce attitude of the ladies.
Everyone is worried that they don't know what the feminist fighters in the Red Chamber will do to their future wives and concubines......
Do you also become a feminist fighter?
Thinking about it is very scary, there is wood!
However, it was not long before the content of these four proposals was finally incorporated into the later Federal Marriage Act, although there were many "technical" changes to the specific provisions and limited concessions made by the ladies, but after all, this was a milestone event in the history of the gender equality movement in the New World after the Red Chamber Convention, and became the beginning of the surging movement for equal rights between men and women.
Back on July 15, 1657, when Zhu Beiguo took Xue Laixiang to receive the last batch of camphor oil produced in the northern islands of Sulu, the items on the purchase list were finally fully completed.
This means that Nicole and Pride are about to leave Porto Hollow.
Nine a.m., Puerto Holo Pier.
According to the terms of the trade agreement, the final items handed over by Australia and Sulu were Xue Laixiang's three Cantonese hard-sailed tea ships, as well as compensation for Xue Laixiang's cargo and maintenance costs and the victims' pensions: a total of 63,000 taels of silver.
Captain Haruban and Zheng Fu, representatives of the Sulu State, led more than 100 soldiers to carry the silver into the watertight cabin on the ground floor of the Heng'an.
At the same time, it was returned that there was also a part of the goods that Xue Laixiang bought in the trading house, as for the cannons and other weapons on the ship, they were always there, and Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan led the remaining more than 50 guys, and after a legendary life experience, he finally returned to his ship from Nicole.
It is said that when the guys first returned to their own boat, they were still a little unaccustomed to it.
There is a saying that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and Xue Laixiang's guys were originally quite satisfied and proud of their own boat, but after returning from Nicole, they immediately felt that their wooden boat was cramped and shabby, and even felt dirty and shabby, and it took a long time to get used to it......
Of course, this was how they felt after leaving the Nicole and boarding their own sea ship, but on the afternoon before boarding, Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan and their fifty-five men were extremely excited, and they were standing on the deck of the Nicole at this time, waiting for Captain Gu to appear.
The tropical afternoon sun was still bright and hot, and the sea breeze silently swept across the foredeck of the Nicole, where there was a newly improvised canopy made of canvas and metal racks.
Under the shed are rows of tables and chairs, which are filled with fruits from the Sulu region.
There are many exotic fruits in the Sulu Islands, and only the locals can name them, and even Xue Laixiang Huang Zhiyan and his buddies can only recognize a few varieties of them.
Colourful melons and fruits are served on glass plates, along with several bottles of light red amber spirits, ten small glass glasses on each table, and several plates of meat and vegetarian dishes, corresponding to each chair.
Although the table top was not exposed to direct sunlight, the natural colors and crystal clarity of the table not only overshadowed those meaty dishes, but also made Xue Laixiang and them feel a certain low-key and mysterious luxury from their hearts.
An accident that had just happened deepened this impression even more.
There was a woman, a slave girl who had just been bought from the market a few days earlier, and while serving fruit to the feast, she accidentally broke a large glass fruit bowl.
With the exclamations of the crowd and the screams of the women, the audience suddenly fell into a certain silence.
Obviously, the first thing that Xue Laixiang and his guys thought of was the "priceless glass cup", and Brother Zhu, who was sitting next to him, shouted Be careful not to step on the glass!
Because those slave girls have always been barefoot.
Obviously, their concerns are very different.
However, it seemed that Zhu Beiguo shouted late, and the panicked woman's face was pale, with tears in her eyes, and there was also a trace of fear, she subconsciously stepped forward and desperately cleaned up, so a piece of glass slag was trampled under the woman's feet, and in the panic, the woman's fingers seemed to be pierced with blood by sharp broken glass.
This caused a lot of confusion among the nearby Australian sailors, some of whom went up to help pick up fruits, those who used their feet to bring together the glass shards, and those who shouted for Dr. Duan to come quickly......
Of course, there are those who reach out and help the woman to a chair and sit down to examine the wound, but the only thing that is not is the reprimand and scolding of the woman who caused the accident......
Xue Laixiang and Huang Zhiyan, who were at the scene, couldn't help but glance at each other at this time, and they silently looked at Zhu Beiguo, who had already gotten up to the woman's side, who was asking people to isolate the women who were hurriedly serving dishes with plates, keeping them away from the glass slag on the ground.
Ren Ke turned around and brought a broom and a square shovel with a long iron handle, swept the glass slag on the deck very carefully, and then turned around and walked to the edge of the deck with the shovel, and poured the broken glass directly into the sea.
"The treasure outside the body can be discarded, but the treasure of the soul can be kept", Xue Laixiang suddenly remembered that the Tibetan Yongzhong Bon master who used to live in the backyard of the Xue family touched his head and said this sentence slowly, which made him suddenly feel that the world was vast like a phantom, but the ignorant young man did not understand this sentence......
After a while, Dr. Duan, who had treated Huang Zhiyan, hurriedly came to the injured woman with a large wooden box painted with a red cross on his back, which was so familiar to Xue Laixiang and Huang Zhiyan that the two brothers knew that there would always be some magic medicine for the living dead with flesh and bones.
Probably because Dr. Duan's hands were a little heavy, the woman was in tears at this time, and she was still in pain from time to time**, but soon, the white gauze wrapped the woman's feet and fingers, and then two more women were called over, and under the eyes of everyone, they moved the woman away with chairs and chairs......
Brother Xue? Brother Huang! Zhu Guo didn't know when he appeared in front of Xue Huang and the others, which made them suddenly wake up from their contemplation.
"What does Brother Zhu command?"
"Well, I've heard that people in Sulu wear clogs, do you know that there is such a thing?"
"Yes! The footwalk is often barefoot, but the indoor wear is often ......"
"Oh, even if Zheng Fu can buy a hundred pairs on his behalf, it is not a long-term solution for this woman to always be barefoot......"
looked at Brother Zhu and turned away, and took out the magical "voice box" from his waist to speak.
Xue Laixiang sighed secretly in his heart at this time.
From the day he came into contact with Australians, he gradually felt the peculiarity of Australians in treating people and things, and their behavior and etiquette were often inconsistent with the world, often making people feel a certain arrogance.
But when dealing with individuals, I feel very cordial.
Moreover, Australians have almost no defense of superiority and inferiority, speak directly, have a straightforward personality, and often reveal the goodness of their hearts in unexpected places.
At this moment, witnessing how Australians treat errant female slaves, Xue Laixiang can gain insight into one or two.
He also knew that in fact, Australians knew the value of this glass cup, and the female slave was worth more than ten times or dozens of times, but the Australians had no regrets!
Could it be that in the eyes of Australians, the colorful glass cup is not as valuable as a slave girl? Xue Laixiang raised his eyes at this time and glanced at Huang Zhiyan beside him again, and the latter's eyes also revealed a trace of confusion......
The scene on deck soon passed, and everyone began to chat again, but still no one drank or moved chopsticks.
Because this is a farewell banquet, it is Gu Jin who is the east, and the person who is the east has not arrived, so everyone can eat some fruit at most and chat with the people around them.
