The eighth sister said to her sister with a tiger face: "What are you going to do?" My sister is there for state affairs. You study hard, and you can look like your sister. ”

The ninth sister didn't appreciate it: "I don't want to be like my sister, I want to be a beautiful princess!" ”

The ninth sister inherited the genes of her mother Dong Xiaowan, and she grew like a flower and jade at a young age.

Qibao, who was eating, couldn't help but smile and said, "That's all you have to do? You're already a beautiful little princess, aren't you? By your meaning, from now on you don't want to do anything, right? ”

The ninth sister said coquettishly: "I'm going to the UK too, I'm going to the UK too." ”

The eighth sister said to Qibao: "Brother Qibao, don't tease her, look at her in a hurry." ”

Liubao put down his chopsticks and said: "Eighth sister is fine, you can go to the UK now, why is my life so bitter, I still have to stay in the capital to study." ”

The eighth sister said: "You can ask your father for help, there are still many places in the world that we need to develop." ”

Liubao said: "Forget it, it's good that I can follow Mr. Jia to do Chinese medicine well." ”

Mr. Jia is Jia Taichu, the Chinese medicine teacher of Liubao.

The eighth sister also put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Two brothers, the eighth sister is going to the UK, do you have any parting words?" ”

"No, why are you going to leave soon?" Shippo asked.

The eighth sister said: "It's going to leave in the next two days." ”

Liubao asked, "Is it so urgent?" Why? ”

"I have a few British classmates who are anxious to go home, and they are coming with me, so I have to leave as soon as possible. ”

The ninth sister asked, "Is Brother Xiaobao also going with you?" ”

Xiaobao's brother is Wei Xiaobao.

The eighth sister said: "It's not my sister who asked him to go with her, it's my father who arranged for him to go to England as well." ”

Qibao joked: "With this flower protector, the eighth sister will definitely not be lonely along the way." ”

The eighth sister frowned and said, "Who wants him to send it?" I've had a lot of classmates along the way. ”

Liubao said: "Your fellow William will also go with you?" ”

The eighth sister said proudly: "Of course! ”

Qibao hurriedly asked, "Which William?" ”

Liubao smiled: "Which other William is the tall and handsome William Tom who often comes to our house." ”

"Eighth sister, you won't like that Englishman, will you?" Shippo's eyes widened in surprise.

The eighth sister raised her head: "What's wrong with falling in love?" Won't I be allowed to marry an Englishman? ”

Qibao said: "How is this possible? William was a foreigner. ”

The eighth sister snorted: "If I want to marry, nothing is impossible." ”

Liubao smiled: "Ouch! Ouch! The eighth sister wants to get married! ”

The eighth sister suddenly said very seriously: "Don't laugh, you two have any parting words to say quickly, maybe after tomorrow, you don't want to listen to it." ”

Liubao put away his smile and said, "Okay, then I'll talk about it first." I think that the eighth sister went to the United Kingdom this time with a heavy responsibility, and the United Kingdom is very important to us in China, because it is our transit point connecting with the Americas, and our ships to the east coast of the Americas must pass through the United Kingdom, and then cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Americas. ”

Qibao said: "Not necessarily, right? Now that the east and west coasts of the Americas are connected, we can go to the Americas through the Bering Sea without a detour to the United Kingdom. ”

Liubao smiled: "You don't know much about geography, the Bering Sea can only pass through in September every year, even if our navigation skills improve, it will only have a maximum of three months of navigation time." Therefore, the stability of Britain is related to the stability of our voyages between China and the Americas. Eighth sister, my brother's message to you is: to stabilize the situation in Britain, and at the same time to establish a stronger alliance with Britain. ”

The eighth sister nodded: "I remember the words of the sixth brother, what about the seventh brother?" What do you have to say to me? ”

Qibao said: "The six treasures that should be said have been said, I don't have anything important to entrust to you, I just hope that you will find a wishful husband as soon as possible." ”

The ninth sister hurriedly said: "I also have something to say, I have something to say." ”

The eighth sister gently stroked the ninth sister's hair and said, "Ninth sister, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"I'm going to England too!"

……

The next day, Gao Mengdie packed up and set off, with more than a dozen classmates, Wei Xiaobao was one of them, and five or six British students, Gao Mengdie's idol William Tom was also among them.

They first took a train from Beijing to Tianjin, then took a ship from Tianjin, to Hong Kong, transferred to Manchester City in Hong Kong, and finally took a 10,000-ton passenger ship from Manchester City to London, England.

By the time they boarded the 10,000-ton passenger ship, it was March 1660.

The Ministry of Rites booked a second-class cabin for these more than ten students, and originally booked a first-class single room for Gao Mengdie, that is, the ninth sister, after she boarded the ship, she took the initiative to find the captain to change the cabin and changed to a single room in the second-class cabin, so that it was much closer to her partners.

The first class cabin is on the third floor of the front building and the second class cabin is on the third floor of the rear building. The captain said that if Gao Mengdie wanted, she could enter and exit the first-class cabin casually, even if she had replaced the first-class cabin with the second-class cabin.

Of course, Gao Mengdie was reluctant to go to the front building, because her partners were all in the back building.

William Tom was born in a wealthy family in England, he has been studying in China for six years, and now he has returned to China, ready to serve his country, this time he can walk with the princess of Huaxia, and can continue to work with this Huaxia princess he has admired for a long time in the UK, this is what he did not dare to think, who would have thought that this wish would really come true.

So the happiest person on this trip was William Tom.

There is also a person who is secretly happy is Wei Xiaobao, who can continue to be with Gao Mengdie after graduation, and also has to assist her in her work, how can he not be happy? Although it is said that it is divided into a Chinese trading company in the United Kingdom, and the organizational relationship is in a Chinese trading company, the task is to assist the princess of the Chinese country.

There are also a few fellow Chinese classmates who also assist Gao Mengdie's work in the UK, and they are mainly engaged in secretarial and translation work. Wei Xiaobao is different, Wei Xiaobao is assisting Gao Mengdie in dealing with high-ranking British officials.

At this time, the ship had not yet opened, Wei Xiaobao's bunk was right next to William, he put away his luggage, lay on the comfortable single bed, and squinted at William who was busy sorting out his luggage.

"Hey! William, where did you get so much luggage? Wei Xiaobao didn't help, and he had to gossip again.

William didn't mind Wei Xiaobao saying cool words, and said: "I brought all your Chinese specialties, I haven't been home for six years, and I brought a lot of delicious things to my parents." ”

Wei Xiaobao said: "I can't see that you are still a dutiful son." ”

William asked, "If it were you, wouldn't you bring something to eat to your parents?" ”
