Chapter 358: Father and Daughter's Secret Talk
Of course, the aristocratic ladies are very reserved, but at this time, Britain is still very poor, just like the Titanic, the reason why Rou Shreds married an American broadman is because of poverty, in fact, it is not a big deal, of course, the eyes that look at Xu Hao are also mostly curious.
The so-called free love, which is the product of the disintegration of mainstream society in Europe and the United States after World War I, and the weakening of the restraint on lower-class young people, and at the same time, the big killer of the car appeared.
At this moment, whether it is Europe or Middle-earth, arranged marriage is politically correct, the chastity of aristocratic women is actually very good, and there is no possibility of any chaos, the real chaos is after marriage, after giving birth to the first heir, both men and women began to fall into the trick of finding love.
Of course, although this curious eye is all on Xu Hao, it is also a young person who is more interested, just like Christina, who has been silent, she rarely pays attention to anything else, just looks at Xu Hao, and suddenly said: "I can't figure out what such a person will bring us when he arrives, he still has such interesting things." ”
"You're talking about the microscope, Annellia leaned in front of me to look at it, and Count Albert looked at it with his own fingernails, and it was full of crawlies that wriggled on its own, and he jumped up and fell to the ground."
"It's hard to see, isn't it." Christina, who had fled the war far north before, had just returned to London this month, and with a hint of curiosity, often without a trace, flattered the proud young lady, helping her explain who was cheating with whom and so on, "Look at that Portuguese woman, what is she wearing?" ”
"Yes, I've noticed it a long time ago, the waist is so thick, and there, it's so big......"
"That's it, Tuniu."
"Ahem, but it seems that I think this is from that Chinese, maybe in their place, they just like the very huge women there."
"Hmph, like a cow."
Christina smiled slightly, and said, "Why don't you wait until they finish this dance and talk to her, I don't think there is anything wrong with this young lady, no matter how you look at it, it is more interesting than those Scots." ”
This caused a burst of ridicule, for the British, what is divided into English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, is not just a national division, but a real chain of discrimination, there is no such thing as fifty-six and fifty-five flowers, fifty-six people and fifty-five high-class talents, as a foreign conqueror, the English are basically red fruits to laugh at other nationalities, even if it is a nominal country, even the football team is divided into England, Scotland, The Welsh team and the Northern Ireland team simply exposed the internal differences, of course, one country can take four places, which is also taking advantage of the fact that it is not enough.
Xu Hao had only seen this kind of dance in those movies before, although he had a score in his heart, but it was not the case in the dance hall, fortunately, Eliza was empathetic and taught him slowly, but his back was already soaked with sweat, and he barely survived a tune, so he immediately laughed miserably and quickly retreated, of course, he said that he was a little tired.
"Hello, get to know me, I'm Anne Hathaway, and this is Christina, get to know me."
"My name is Eliza, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xu Hao listened to the conversation of a few foreign girls, although Eliza's English is not as good as her mother tongue, but she doesn't know how high it is higher than him, the successor of dumb English, but Xu Hao listened, but he was also a little interested, these girls looked very young, although the bulging skirt looked very strange, but it was also a characteristic of others.
However, what made Xu Hao realize was that the way these foreign girls communicated with each other was almost the same as the Chinese girls in their memory, at least the look of I obviously don't like you, but I can talk to you happily is simply incisive, but Eliza is still very open to explain that she got Victoria's Secret from Xu Hao, compared to the corset of this era, the bra is definitely very comfortable, and there is no kind of suffocating or even fatal trouble.
Although this kind of gathering is boring, it is also a novelty, as Li Xiangqian once taught, the culture of any country actually depends on its geographical location, the reason why Russia is strong in mathematics and science, and the literary works are written in a large paragraph, which can be called smelly and long, is because it is in the frozen ground IQ, half of the year is winter, write longer, so that everyone can cat in the house in winter.
Just like the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, because it is basically impossible to go out during the rainy season, and if it is easy to obtain only the materials for survival, its cultural characteristics are laziness and ignorance, and the so-called artificial elimination, this is the case.
Xu Hao remembered one of the tasks of his trip, contacting the Jews in Europe itself, and in fact, the Jews had a very interesting place.
Judea has been discriminated against by European kings for hundreds of years, and Jews can only do a business in the end, lending, don't think that this is some kind of lofty and expensive profession, as a vulnerable group, they can't receive money, or the king sees that they are fattened, and they borrow money and do not pay it back, and they are directly expelled.
In such a situation, the stupid ones are dead, the ones who can't do business are dead, the unclever ones are dead, the people who can't be people are dead, and the ones who don't know how to leave a way back are dead.
Of course, according to the records of later generations, they are actually just ordinary people, and their average intelligence level is no different from that of other peoples, but the elders know that these people have no loyalty in any country, and they are not ashamed to make money, and they are simply born to lead the party.
Li Xiangqian unanimously agreed that starting a MLM company in the UK was, of course, enough to just spread the idea.
The dance party ended very early, Xu Hao made an appointment with those old men to really start the meeting, but he found that there was something more in his pocket, he had already felt a note, and what Christina secretly stuffed to himself was that kind of particularly quiet action.
Xu Hao once heard a certain senior tell a joke, saying that when a person was watching TV, he received a sales call, and the person fortunately amplified the sound of the TV, and the TV happened to be playing a speech at a certain conference, saying that he was in a meeting, and it was inconvenient to buy your things.
So soon, the girl kept texting you and said, "Chief, I'm good-looking, I'm obedient, and I'll serve you." ”
The location is different, can Xu Hao also enjoy the treatment of countless women stuffing photos in his pocket when the producers of a big film company are interviewing actresses?
He patted his pocket, as if looking a little expectant.
Christina said goodbye to several women, got into the carriage and went home, as a small nobleman, in the previous war, Christina's family because of the thin family, the old father is old, only she has a daughter, so she also escaped the war in the northern highlands, at this time finally returned to London, but only she took a few servants to the front station, just in time for the meeting.
It was very difficult to walk in London at night, but fortunately they were all old acquaintances, and when they returned to the small courtyard, the servant who had been waiting for a long time continued, "Miss, you have finally returned." ”
"Hasn't my father rested yet?" She swept her eyes to the bedroom on the second floor, where the lights were still on, and the owner of that room was naturally not resting.
"Yes, the lord has been waiting for you, watching those things."
"Hey."
Throwing her thick coat to the servant, Christina came to the room, pushed open the door and said, "Father, you have not rested!" ”
An old man sat at a desk, with several kerosene lamps lit on it, of course, even so, it was impossible to compare with the sun, and he could only barely see the things on the table, which was a sketch of many things, and it was the sketch of the Liaoning, just looking at those details, he knew that the painting was very careful, considering that the Liaoning docked at the port for only a short day, it can be said that it was hard work to get these sketches.
"This earth is so big."
The old man patted his thigh, which seemed to relieve some of the pain, he looked middle-aged, his hair was half white, but his eyes were cloudy and bright.
Put down the sketch, picked up the crutches, sat up with Christina's support, slowly returned to his bed, and said: "I haven't been back to London for two years, and there have been such big changes, this city no longer belongs to His Majesty the King. ”
"Father," said Christina hurriedly, "how can you say that, Cromwell only relied on unlimited and unrealistic promises to those untouchables in order to gain their support, and when he could not do what he said, he would naturally be abandoned again, and the king would surely return." ”
Old Handington shook his head and said: "No, even so, it will be decades later, now, a large number of nobles have been distributed by him to those untouchables, so for a period of time, they will wait in peace, besides, we never imagined that overseas, we can obtain so much power, whether it is those treasures, those wealth, it has greatly made the nobles who guard their ancestral property become local old hats." ”
"No matter how rich you are, it's just a bunch of nouveau riche, look at the ladies who think they occupy our place today."
"Of course, if you only have money, it's easy to deal with, but if you get more terrible power overseas, it's unstoppable," he said, pointing to the picture on the table, "This is power." ”
Knowledge is power, Francis Bacon.
"It's just a boat, I don't think it represents anything," Christina said. ”
"No, you don't understand," said Huntington, "although I am not a navy, just an old cavalryman with a broken leg, but after I was wounded, I worked for a while as the treasurer of Congress, to audit those warships built with money from the treasury, and I still have research on those things, that ship...... It is impossible to bring together the forces of the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe. ”
Christina looked at her father with some excitement and said, "But they are far away from us, aren't they, in that far Far East, even they can only send a ship, and we are not afraid of them, are we?" ”
Handington shook his head and said, "I heard that even the weapons in the hands of the Chinese soldiers are more advanced than ours, not to mention the microscope that many people are circulating and seeing, that is to say, these distant Chinese have more advanced knowledge than us, this is power." ”
Christina said: "Their skills can't really be given to those traitors for nothing, so we don't have to worry about them." ”
"No, I still heard some rumors, the Orientals want to invest here, they are also full of curiosity about us, and they want to go to the European continent to see, there is indeed a technology ready to sell to them, but they can't do it."
"How can they do this, this is interference in our internal affairs!"
"I believe that these Chinese did not know that our civil war had reached this extent before they set off, but the problem is, you know, it is normal for such a big ship to carry 100 tons of cargo, even if it is a big country, I believe that it is impossible to spend it in vain, it must be rewarded, I just don't know, how big their appetite is."
Looking at the problem from the exchange of interests, Handington knew that this was absolutely fine, but he had to face a tricky incident, as a supporter of the king, he was powerless to help in the civil war, asked for money and no money, and asked for no people, but now, when the victory and defeat have been divided, a person who hides his attitude very well, and even has some connections and prestige in the army, is very important to the king's faction, at least, he can pass on some news and do something in secret.
Cristina sighed and said, "I left a note, but I don't know what it will do, the person doesn't seem to understand our language, but there is a Portuguese woman who followed him to England, so it is really difficult to communicate." ”
"Language is not a big problem, since that Oriental man has been entrusted with such a big thing, he will not lack a little wisdom, what we need is to show him, who is the master of England, and ......"
Handington shook his head and said, "Forget it, the future is really not good." ”
"Father," said Christina, "my note is very simple, I invite him to a party at a friend's house tomorrow night, and when the time comes, create an opportunity to talk alone, and as for the language problem, I already have a solution." ”
"Language is not a problem for those who can come from far and wide to come here, otherwise how would the missionaries go to the jungle to preach?" There is always a way to understand a little bit, but what his intentions are, and whether he will even betray us, is a question. ”
"No, it won't." Christina thought for a moment and said, "A person who is not as old as me carries such a mission, I think it is easy to coax, at least his eyes have never left those women." ”
