"So, you just went to find someone, and then gave him some money, even if this matter is done," Zhang Fan asked with a smile, he didn't believe Wang Xiliang, but even if he came from later generations, he didn't know much about what the West would be like in this regard, so after hearing Wang Xiliang's words, Zhang Fan was also very interested in his heart, so he asked.

"What my lord said is good," Wang Xiliang also showed a bright smile and said, "Originally, I also felt that those devils even looked different from us, and they could also make firearms such as the Fran cannon. It's really very bright, for those things, if we do them here, it's all to be hidden, even if two people sit in front of each other, they all know it, and it is impossible to say it like this, but they are good, they don't take it seriously at all.

"Just like the lowly position, the person found by the lowly position is one of the people who is responsible for managing the paperwork file, it is said to be called the Royal Library of Portugal or something, in short, according to the lowly office, he can get what we want, so the lowly job found a place to ask him to have two drinks, but he has no interest in drinking, and almost when he sees the lowly position, he asks what the hell is going on.

"The lowly position is also taken aback, after all, I have never seen such a thing, but since he asked so, then the lowly position has nothing to care about, just told him so, he is also very happy, and he agreed without thinking about it, the lowly position thought, I'm afraid this thing is really useless to them, they just want to use this to knock us on the bamboo bar, but the lowly job really didn't cost much money, just fifty taels of gold to buy him, and the next day this thing arrived,"

"So that's so," Zhang Fan took a long breath after listening to Wang Xiliang's words, it wasn't that there was anything wrong, but Zhang Fan couldn't make any comments on it, but he understood it in his heart, sometimes, things seem complicated, but in fact it's that simple, as long as you don't beat around the bush and directly show your heart, many things can be solved immediately, and there are many things that won't cause a lot of trouble.

However, this method will definitely not work here, how many people here have eyes, how many unspoken ideas, I'm afraid no one knows, sometimes a new idea suddenly pops up, and it is also a terrible idea, if there are really people here, want to do things like those Europeans, not to mention the promotion and fortune is almost there, it is a miracle to be able to hold on for a month without being rectified by others.

Of course, if they are like this, then it would be the best, the more they are like this, the more they will deal with them in the future, the more they will take advantage of this side, and Zhang Fan can be sure that as time goes by, the opportunities for the two parties to deal with each other will not become less, only more and more, for Zhang Fan, of course, he hopes that the other party can be stupid.

"Well, you did a good job in this matter," Zhang Fan nodded and praised Wang Xiliang, "I heard that your ship only came back the day before yesterday, right, I can see you today, I think you also got off the boat and rushed over non-stop, hard work, go and rest, other things are not important, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow,"

"Thank you for your concern," Wang Xiliang clenched his fists and said, "It's just that someone came with us, saying that he came to seek refuge with adults,"

Wang Xiliang didn't need to say who it was at all, just such a sentence, Zhang Fan already knew who it was, in fact, Zhang Fan had been thinking about this matter all the time, when Wang Xiliang and Zhao Xiande first came, Zhang Fan was thinking, but he didn't see anyone other than the two of them coming in.

Originally, Zhang Fan thought that he might not see him again, or even forever, but Wang Xiliang's words made Zhang Fan feel a wave, thinking about it, Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask: "Why, she is also back, why didn't she come with you,"

"My lord, this is not the fault of her humble position, she said that she wanted to dress up before she came to see the adult," Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Wang Xiliang hurriedly explained, with an aggrieved expression on his face, which means that Zhang Fan misunderstood himself.

"What about her now," Zhang Fan didn't have anything to blame him, or maybe he couldn't blame him, so he asked hurriedly.

Just as Zhang Fan was asking, footsteps happened to sound outside.

Hearing the footsteps, Wang Xiliang hurriedly showed a happy look and said to Zhang Fan: "My lord, isn't this coming?"

The person who opened the door announced, and after getting Zhang Fan's consent, he gave up and let the person in.

It was the person who had not seen him in more than two years, Joanna. Oliveira, Zhang Fan looked at her face, her appearance has not changed, but her temperament is very different from the last time Zhang Fan saw her, although she has been carefully put on makeup, but the dress does not hide her temperament.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what was Joanna like last time, Zhang Fan didn't forget it at all, Joanna came to Daming as a diplomat, but her own job is a soldier, although she has never been on a real battlefield, but she was born in a country that is fighting all the time, even if she has never been on a real battlefield, she has never killed the enemy, but that seriousness will not be lacking.

And now Joanna, even if she can only see what is revealed on her face, Zhang Fan can also see a lot of things, her current appearance, Zhang Fan has actually seen a lot, especially from the face of those who are in the army on the frontier, this appearance is the most common, this kind of fortitude and the strong desire to survive are invisible, which cannot be concealed.

And now, Joanna's face reveals such a temperament, Zhang Fan doesn't know what she has experienced, but it will definitely not be an easy thing.

Wang Xiliang and Zhao Xiande, who were on the side, didn't say anything anymore when they saw this scene, turned around and quietly retreated, in short, no matter what Zhang Fan and Joanna were going to say or do later, it was an insignificant thing for the two of them, and they didn't want to know, this kind of thing, as subordinates, they naturally understood, and the less they knew, the better.

"Lord Earl, no, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of your country has made your lord a marquis, Joanna wants to congratulate your lordship," Joanna saw that Zhang Fan looked at her for a long time and didn't speak, although she didn't say anything on her face, but she felt a little awkward in her heart, so she found an opportunity to divert Zhang Fan's attention.

"Oh, no, it's nothing," Zhang Fan also came back to his senses because of her words, he also knew what happened to him just now, and he couldn't help but apologize on his face, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Joanna, it's rude to stare at me like this, I hope you can forgive me,"

"My lord doesn't have to be like this," said Joanna, smiling, "and now Joanna is no longer a nobleman, and this is not my country, and the old manners no longer apply here," although she said something sad, Joanna showed a calmness, and did not make people think that she was forced to say this, or forced to smile.

"Don't say these polite words, come and sit down and talk," Zhang Fan said, leading Joanna to sit down on the side, and said, "By the way, your Chinese is good, I didn't expect that it has only been a long time, but you have worked hard,"

"This is to make the adults laugh," Joanna said in Chinese, which is not too proficient, "I have been thinking about being able to see adults again over the years, so I found a local person who knows Chinese to teach me, I was still afraid in my heart, will there be something wrong, listening to the adults say this, this is a relief, but I'm afraid, in the ears of adults, what I said is still a little awkward,"

"Where," Zhang Fan naturally wouldn't say anything else to annoy the scenery, "This is not nonsense, your Chinese is really good," This is indeed not what Zhang Fan said to flatter Joanna, it is true.

still remembers the last time the two met, when Joanna also stayed in Daming for a while, but at that time, Joanna could only say some very simple things, and most of them were just words, and complete sentences were rarely spoken.

But now, although she speaks Chinese, although there are some awkwardness, but most of them are because of her original native language, Portuguese accent, maybe some words and sentences will be a little incomprehensible, but she is definitely not wrong.

This seems to be a simple thing, but the things contained in it are not simple, perhaps, Joanna found a good teacher to teach her, but the Chinese language is very difficult for Europeans.

And now, Joanna can learn like this in just a few years, and it is not because of her own hard work.

Of course, if you really think about it further, why did she work so hard, naturally in order to be able to come to Daming to live.

Why do you want to live here, is it for survival, or for other reasons, after all, if it is to save your life, in order to be able to live peacefully and steadily, it seems that it is not just a place like Daming, but why did Joanna choose other places, but she chose this place, because of whom, or is it because she just recognized this eastern country that she had only been to once, and wanted to stay away from her homeland.

It's hard to say, I'm afraid this kind of thing is to ask Joanna herself, she may not be able to answer.
