Chapter 894: Raised Fist (Seventy-Four)
Mary thought for a moment before she said, "Your Majesty, it's not anymore. The concubine remembered that when she was a child, everyone felt very mysterious when she mentioned the East. They didn't know anything about the Orient, but they could use the porcelain and silk produced in the Orient, and they could drink the tea unique to the Orient, which made them think that the Orient was very prosperous.
In fact, their imagination is very correct, this place is indeed very prosperous, not the concubine's hometown can be compared. And businessmen like my family, although they have never been to the East, can often come into contact with Oriental people. My father's prejudice against the Orientals, I think, came mostly from jealousy.
Compared with the fact that you are so good, so advanced, and so prosperous in the East, we in the West are poor and backward, and there will be a gap in their hearts, and how can they be worse than the Orientals if they think that they are the descendants of the noble God? This is unreasonable, and in this way, they begin to hate the Orientals.
Whenever he came to the house, he would speak ill of the Oriental people to the people in the family, and deliberately belittle the Oriental people. In this way, the people of my hometown have a bad impression of the Orientals. It is thought that the Orientals are all frail, treacherous, and all look the same inferior. ”
Speaking of this, Maria smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, when the concubines first came into contact with the Orientals, they all looked the same. All yellow skin, all black eyes and black hair. The facial features feel the same, and they are all flat. Unlike us people in the West, they all have high noses and look very three-dimensional. When the concubine was in the port of Holmos, she recognized the wrong person many times!
At that time, my father made fun of me, saying that the concubine was face blind, but in fact, sometimes he also recognized the wrong person. Then I'll laugh at him in turn. Sometimes, the concubine said to her father, I said, "Dad, can you take me to the Great China Kingdom in the East?" I've heard that Cheonanfu is the most beautiful city in the world.
My father rolled his eyes at me and said that it was all bragging, and that the best city in the world was in our hometown, which was Cilo. But I don't think so, although the city of Xiluo is indeed very beautiful, but I have listened to many merchants of the Great Chinese Kingdom, not to talk about it, just listen to their conversations in the restaurant, and you will know how beautiful their city is.
At that time, I really wanted to come here, and I wanted to make friends with people from Dahuaguo. So, taking advantage of the absence of his father and brother, he invited His Majesty and Qingrou sisters to come to the house as guests. At that time, the concubine thought that the important concubine had made a sincere friend of Dahuaguo, so the concubine secretly followed, and she had to go to Tian'an Mansion to have a look. ”
Speaking of this, Maria lamented again, and then said, "Unexpectedly, the concubine's father and brother had an accident. ”
After listening to Maria's tirade, Liu Yong smiled faintly and said, "Maria, everything in this world is determined. This means that you are destined for me. ”
Maria nodded and said, "But Your Majesty, if the concubine's father were alive, he would never agree to the concubine marrying an Oriental." ”
"What? Your father's prejudice against the Orientals was so great? Liu Yong asked with a smile.
Maria nodded and said, "And that's what a lot of Westerners think. They seem to look down on the Orientals from the bottom of their hearts, even though they are so smart. The Tatars were so brave again. ”
Liu Yong looked at the little princess who was playing with the beard, smiled slightly, and then said lightly: "When my iron hooves appear at their doorstep, I think they will change their opinion of the Orientals." Especially the views of our Han people. ”
When Maria heard Liu Yong's words, she was speechless. Although he is now in the East, he is a native of the West, and no matter how bad it is, it is also his hometown. She didn't want a war in her hometown, and she didn't want Liu Yong to attack her hometown.
However, none of this is for her to say. Moreover, Liu Yong also promised her before that when the army of the Hua Han Dynasty arrived in the west, it would be the time for her to return to her hometown.
She wants to go back to her hometown like that! However, she did not want her hometown to be trampled by iron hooves.
"Your Majesty, ...... you" Thinking of this, Mary wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.
Liu Yong glanced at Maria, smiled, and said, "Maria, are you trying to persuade me not to attack your hometown?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want the concubine's hometown to be devastated by the war. That's going to kill a lot of people. Mary said with some sorrow.
Liu Yong smiled and asked, "Maria, do you think there is no war in your hometown now?" Won't there be deaths? ”
Mary's heart shuddered at the thought of the chaotic wars among the nobles of her homeland, and the terrible Black Death.
"Why don't you speak?" Liu Yong asked with a smile.
Mary then said, "Your Majesty, you are right, even if Your Majesty does not attack, the concubine's hometown will also have wars and terrible contagions. ”
"So, I'm not going to attack them, I'm going to deliver them. Maria, do you think, if your hometown is like the current Huahan Dynasty, and the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, wouldn't that be good? ”
Maria thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If that's the case, the concubine thinks it'll be fine." ”
"Do you approve of my attack on your hometown?" Liu Yong asked again.
Mary said, "In this case, the concubine is in favor of it." ”
Liu Yong looked at Maria and smiled, and said, "That's good." ”
Mary was still worried, because she really didn't know whether the war started by Liu Yong was good or bad for her hometown.
Liu Yong looked at Yue'er, who was playing very seriously, and asked with a smile: "Baby, is my father's beard fun?" ”
What Liu Yong didn't expect was that after he asked, the little princess actually smiled and nodded at him. Liu Yong was stunned at that time.
"Maria, did you see that?" Liu Yong hurriedly asked Maria beside him.
Mary didn't see it, because she kept her head down and thought about it, so she looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you see?" ”
Liu Yong said in surprise: "Yue'er can understand my words, she can understand my words, she is nodding to me!" ”
Maria smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yue'er is only four months old, how can I understand your words?" I won't give you a nod anymore. ”
Liu Yong said: "You don't believe that I am doing it again to show you!" ”
Mary looked at it earnestly.
Liu Yong asked again, smiled at the little princess and said, "Baby, is my father's beard funny?" ”
I saw that the little princess really nodded at Liu Yong again.
"Oh my God!" Astonished, Maria immediately stood up from her stool. She couldn't believe her eyes. The return of the financial empire
