It was already late at night outside, and it could be said that the moon was missing and the people were still quiet, and Isabella's ghost woman suddenly became noisy, and Prussian shook his head.

"You have a good rest, I'll go see her." Prussian said this to Chen Mu, but Chen Mu shook his head.

"No, I'll go with you, woman...... This young lady is short-tempered, and the misunderstanding should be explained clearly a moment ago, and it should be stopped a moment sooner, otherwise I don't know what she is going to do......"

Prussian thought about it, nodded his head, asked the maid to help Chen Mu up, and came to the next room.

"You wait outside for a moment." Prussian was also afraid of the daughter of the French consul, so he entered the room by himself, and Xu first explained the ins and outs with her.

Chen Mu listened quietly outside, and could also feel Isabella's emotional changes, she went from scolding loudly to gradually becoming silent, and she wanted to have a bottom of this misunderstanding.

Hearing that the conversation stopped, Chen Mu said to the maid, "You go to the study and get the musket." ”

The maid had never touched such a dangerous thing, and immediately looked embarrassed, which made Chen Mu glare, and then honestly hugged the musket.

This musket is so well made that even the handle of the gun is inlaid with gold threads, and a small line of diagonal Latin characters makes this gun even more elegant, and it is thought that it must have been specially made by Isabella.

Chen Mu is not a stingy person, and he does not have a special liking for objects such as muskets, and even dislikes them very much, because as soon as he sees the muskets, in his mind, there will be a picture of his brother's head being blown off half.

It would have been enough to carry Isabella back earlier, but he brought the musket with him anyway, because he didn't want to leave any traces lest he be followed.

Taking the musket, Chen Mu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a voice from Prussia Town came: "Please come in." ”

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, pondered for a while, and walked into the room.

It's also strange to say, Chen Mu has also lived in this room, which is very ordinary, but after Isabella moved in, the atmosphere of the whole room has changed, as if this has always been a girl's boudoir, full of tempting aromas.

Isabella sat at the head of the bed, her blonde hair scattered, and in the candlelight, her sapphire eyes radiated a breathtaking light, like a legendary enchantress.

France, like the English Holland and other countries, used fleets to explore and conquer all over the world, and over time, the number of mixed-race immigrants gradually increased, and the color of their hair and eyes also changed, but the French were romantic and beautiful, and blue eyes once became the standard for purebred Frenchmen.

Of course, France and Italy and Spain, which belong to the Latin race, are not pure-blooded whites, nor can they be compared with the Nordic races, but humans are migratory animals, and the term "human race" is meaningless.

It's just that France was a fashion leader at that time, and everything wanted to be different, and the aristocracy had to use a lot of perfume to cover up their body odor even if they didn't take a bath for a month or two.

They regard blue eyes as a sign of purebred, and it is understandable, no matter what, Isabella at night has faded away from the barbaric appearance and returned to the essence of the goddess, Chen Mu can't help but throb in his heart.

"Miss Isabella, the day's work...... I'm really sorry......" After all, Chen Mu followed Prussia to learn foreign languages, and he also understood foreign etiquette, so he immediately stroked his chest and performed a gentleman's courtesy.

Although his movements are jerky and hard, even a little clumsy, they are not offensive.

In the Qing Empire at that time, the people lived hard, and the Qing people in the eyes of foreigners were all thin and black inferior people.

Although Chen Mu is only fourteen, he is thin, and his already white complexion, coupled with blood loss and fatigue, makes him even pale, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the French.

At that time, in order to pursue beauty, foreigners were also unscrupulous, and in order to appear more pale, they would even take drugs such as arsenic, just to show that sickly paleness.

Although women are beautiful in plumpness, they are limited to their breasts, and in order to highlight their breasts, they will wear corsets weighing more than a dozen pounds, and some people even suffocate in order to shape them.

If another Qing person came to perform this ceremony, it might disgust Isabella, but Chen Mu was originally a boy and a girl, and was regarded as the tear mole of his father, which has become the standard for beautiful men!

At that time, foreigners would have moles on their faces, especially the beauty moles under their eyes, even if they were not born, they had to stick one on them.

The two sides fought during the day, and they didn't have the heart to take a closer look, and Isabella at this time was obviously the same as Chen Mu, and they were both surprised by each other's appearances.

"You're just a lowly CHINK, and you don't have the courtesy of a gentleman!"

CHINK is a Qing person, but it is full of insults, Chen Mu is like others, learning a language, naturally you must first learn to express good and evil, and you have to learn some scolding words after all, so as not to be scolded and don't know.

Hearing this word, Chen Mu's good impression of Isabella also disappeared, these foreigners looked down on the Chinese, with a high-minded attitude, as if they were the masters.

If he were to be someone else, he might be subservient and groveling, and he would take the opportunity to curry favor with the French consul, just like Prussian, who had an indisputable temperament, and was very reserved about Isabella.

Although Chen Mu wants to use the power of the French consul, it does not mean that he has to be a traitor and lackey!

"Miss Isabella, your words and deeds are really incompatible with your beautiful appearance, you and I are not people of the same world, I took the initiative to come over to dispel the misunderstanding, I have expressed goodwill, and you and I will not owe each other in the future."

Chen Mu said neither humbly nor arrogantly, his bearing was calm and mature, he was not angry, but he was not humble at all, he gently put the musket on the table, and turned around to leave.

Isabella was also a little stunned, as the daughter of the French consul, all the men in this world have to revolve around her, she is the most focused woman in the world, but Chen Mu is so blunt with her, her heart is uncomfortable!

What's more, Chen Mu is still a lowly Qing countryman, and he dares not to take her, the consul's daughter, in his eyes!

"Stop! You...... Where are you going! ”

Chen Mu turned his head and said to Isabella: "This is not the French Concession, you have no right to interfere with my freedom, even if it is the French Concession, it is just a lease for you to settle down, don't you also have to pay the land tax every year?" ”

"After all, you are only the tenants, we are the masters, do you know the two words "occupancy of the magpie's nest dove"? If you don't understand, I advise you to read more. ”

"You!" Isabella has received a good education since she was a child, although she is a little willful, but she is very proficient in all kinds of talents in high society, and her literary attainments are very good, I didn't expect Chen Mu to be so sarcastic!

Isabella still wanted to ridicule her, but Chen Mu didn't give her this opportunity at all, and walked out of the room after speaking, just after going out, I heard Isabella being angry in the room, and Chen Mu only smiled slightly.

Not long after returning to the room, Prussian also chased after him, frowned at Chen Mu and complained: "It's not good for you to do this, although the misunderstanding has been resolved, the relationship with Miss Isabella has not eased, in this case, the goal of resolving the misunderstanding has not been achieved, what is the point?" ”

These foreigners are mercenary, very pragmatic, and talk about the value of everything, and Chen Mu has long been used to it.

But after all, these are the way of thinking of foreigners, Chen Mu is just a young man, he only knows that if you want to attract the attention of girls, it is not a good way to blindly please, and it is right everywhere!

Prussian was a missionary, devoted his life to the church, even in the most depraved atmosphere, he still maintained celibacy and abstinence, so he may understand the reason between men and women, but he has no personal experience, so he can't understand the communication between Chen Mu and Isabella.

Chen Mu didn't explain too much, cautiously inquired about some things about Consul August, and didn't ask any more.

Chen Mu had just finished bandaging and needed to rest, and Prussian was about to leave, but at this moment, the maid came in.

"Priest, that little girl is here again......"

"Little girl?" Prussian was also stunned for a moment, and after a while, he patted his forehead and said, "Oh my God, I remembered, it was the little girl named herring." ”

The herring fish was instructed by Chen Mu to come over for help, and Chen Mu was also happy when he heard this, so Prussian Town said to the maid: "Bring her in." ”

The maid did not move, but said to Prussia, "There is another man with him this time, will the priest meet with him?" ”

"And a man?"

Prussian was frowning, and Chen Mu was also alert, because the person who came might be Pu Wu or Lin Sheng, but it was also very likely to be an enemy like He Huyong!

"I'll go out and have a look." Prussian was also a cautious man, after all, the consul's daughter was also here, and if something happened to him, he could not bear the blame.

Prussian went out for a while, and then brought people to Chen Mu's room, and it turned out to be Qingyu who brought Lin Sheng over!

"Brother, you're still alive!" The herring fish pounced at once, and the tears had already rolled down in large pieces.

This time, she heard the news of Chen Mu's Fufa, and took Lin Sheng over to ask for help from Prussiantown, hoping to collect Chen Mu's body, but she didn't expect to see Chen Mu who was still alive!

Lin Sheng's eyes were moist, and he stood outside the door, looking at Qingyu and Chen Mu.

Chen Mu and Qingyu are actually not as close as they imagined, but he saved herring, Qingyu is a helpless child, trying to survive in the water village, and the days are also full of suffering, after getting Chen Mu's rescue, he naturally regards Chen Mu as his only relative.

And Chen Mu's family is no longer there, Qingyu has outstanding appearance, pleasing temperament, and the two have a good impression of each other, so they naturally have a kind of affection for each other.

At this time, seeing the herring crying for joy, Chen Mu was also moved in his heart, touched the herring fish's hair, and then said to Lin Sheng.

"The Third Master ......"

Lin Sheng also smiled, nodded at Chen Mu and said, "I, Lin Sheng, are the ones who say it, the herring fish has been redeemed, and in the future, it will be a free body, how to deal with it depends on you......"

Lin Sheng's words were a little meaningful, but Chen Mu looked at the blue fish who was gradually becoming shy, and asked himself in his heart: "What do I look at?" ”
