Fu Qingzhu coiled up his messy hair, pulled up a clean bun, inserted a simple boxwood hairpin, wore a white-washed azure gown, and stepped on his face shoes.

As soon as it was cleaned up, there were six or seven splitting bone fairy winds.

Chen Mu didn't dress up either, he fled earlier, and all his belongings were lost, although the suit given by Henry Wilson was still there, Chen Mu was reluctant to wear it, so he picked out a clean gown, which was originally light blue, and it was almost washed to almost white.

However, it is precisely because of this washing mark that Chen Mu is a little elegant and refined.

After the two met, they looked at each other, Fu Qingzhu smiled, but did not speak.

Chen Mu also seemed to be shocked by Fu Qingzhu's dress, but he also didn't "judge his head", went out, took the tram, and went to the Great Hall.

Although he often saw the tram clanging past the street, Chen Mu was still riding it for the first time, and he felt that it was fresh, and these things of foreigners were really good.

The Franco-Baroque style of the Great Hall is also foreign enough, with arches and arcades, and a fountain in the small square in front, but it is not too public, it looks more solemn, and it is no wonder that official ceremonies can be held.

At this time, there was a crowd of people in front of the Great Hall, all of whom were nobles of all colors, some wearing suits, their hair was combed smoothly and shiny, and some were wearing braids and Chinese-style coats.

At the entrance of the synagogue was a water sign, beautifully made, with today's repertoire, cast and credit, and so on.

Many people gathered around the water pai, and Chen Mu was about to go over to take a look, but Fu Qingzhu stopped him.

"Don't join in the fun, let's go in directly, and I'll take you to the VIP seat."

Chen Mu saw that a large part of the hall was foreigners, and even the Chinese who could come in were elites from all walks of life, and he was an old Taoist priest who had no stage fright, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.

This Fu Qingzhu originally gave people an unfathomable feeling, but now it is even more mysterious.

Not only that, but when he arrived at the VIP seat, Chen Mu found that the adjacent table was Isabella!

Isabella was talking and laughing with an English gentleman in a low voice, exchanging heads and behaving intimately, and she was also surprised to see Chen Mu come in.

Chen Mu glanced at him, Isabella couldn't help it after all, walked to Chen Mu's table, raised her glass and said hello.

"I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be here ...... too"

Chen Mu stood up, pulled the chair quite gracefully, and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Isabella, sit down and talk." ”

Isabella looked at the Englishman at her table, nodded apologetically, and sat down.

The Englishman looked Chen Mu up and down, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes and the corners of his mouth were full of hostility.

"Miss Isabella, long time no see." Chen Mu originally planned to introduce Fu Qingzhu, but he didn't expect this old Taoist priest to know Isabella!

Isabella also saluted Fu Qingzhu and said, "Master Yi, why are you here too." ”

"Master Yi?" Chen Mu was also a little puzzled, but Isabella laughed.

"Master Yi is proficient in occultism, has broad knowledge, is knowledgeable, is a wise man, many of us have learned qigong from him earlier, because the master is proficient in the Book of Changes, so we all call him Master Yi."

"Thanks Isabella for the compliment, hahaha." Fu Qingzhu's words and deeds at this time were also quite foreign, without the slightest vulgarity, which made Chen Mu even more surprised!

"I haven't seen you for many years, Master Yi is still so young, it seems that your cultivation has improved again." Isabella's treatment of Fu Qingzhu is not a polite thing on the surface, but a respect and admiration from the bottom of her heart.

Fu Qingzhu was also full of style, just nodded, and then said to Chen Mu: "Old man, I won't bother you young people, forgive me for missing company." ”

With that, he got up and left.

Isabella hurriedly stood up and watched, but Chen Mu was still sitting, and only after Fu Qingzhu blended into the crowd did Isabella sit down again.

"You didn't break your promise, and I'm grateful."

Chen Mu naturally understood what Isabella meant, after Wang Julou and others transported the counterfeit banknotes, Huang Xing and others began to buy firearms, these counterfeit banknotes have flowed into the Hong Kong market through the black market, and the foreigners' banks have been impacted, the finances are tight, and the economy is sluggish, but the French have not been affected, precisely because Chen Mu has advised.

"It seems that your condition is not very good......" Chen Mu looked at Isabella and said meaningfully.

Isabella bit her lower lip, but didn't want to admit it: "Why do you say that? ”

Chen Mu also smiled: "With Miss Isabella's temper, being able to thank me so quietly means that I didn't release that batch of counterfeit banknotes, which helped you a lot, and on the other hand, you should have financial problems." ”

"Besides, doesn't Miss Isabella dislike the British, but now she is at odds with the British, alas...... Mr. Trio is really willing to sell his daughter......"

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Isabella was still hard-mouthed, but she could see her embarrassment.

Annoyed, she quickly launched a counterattack: "Miss Ben is just a political communicator, if you want to sell your daughter, you should be ashamed!" ”

Chen Mu was also confused: "I don't have a daughter, can you also play the draft." ”

Isabella snorted coldly: "You don't have a daughter, but you have a sister!" ”

"Sister? I sell my sister? What sister to sell? Chen Mu was even more confused, but he soon woke up to the fact that he did have a sister, but it was just a godsister, and that was Li Qingyu!

Li Qingyu has already followed Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang to learn drama, why did Isabella suddenly mention it?

Chen Mu's heart faintly swelled with unease, squinted his eyes slightly, stared at Isabella, and said coldly: "You explain it to me!" ”

Isabella finally gained the upper hand, raised her head, snorted and said, "If you beg me, I'll tell you!" ”

Chen Mu grabbed her hand and said coldly: "Recently, the walled city has been short of money, don't force me to scatter my wealth!" ”

Isabella heard that Chen Mu threatened her with counterfeit money again, and she suddenly became bored.

"It's really boring, forget it, you came to see the play today, don't you know who is singing?"

Asking this question, Chen Mu suddenly came to his senses, no wonder Fu Qingzhu didn't let him look at the water card, and estimated that today's protagonists should be Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang!

But these two bigwigs came to sing, what does it have to do with Li Qingyu?

"Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang are singing, what does it matter to my sister?" When Chen Mu asked, Isabella was also a little speechless.

"Your sister is the protagonist, you don't even know this, how can you be a brother!"

"The herring is the protagonist? What the hell is going on! Chen Mu finally couldn't help it, and he didn't talk to Isabella, he became nervous, and pinched her palms rattle.

"You let go!"

Isabella shook off her hand, unable to withstand Chen Mu's violent reaction, so she had to point in the direction of the chief VIP seat and explain to Chen Mu.

"See, the young man with the wig over there?"

Chen Mu looked at it, and really saw a young foreigner of eighteen or nineteen years old, because he was too handsome and wearing a costume, so that he could lock it at a glance.

"That's the son of Chief Superintendent Sir Francis Henry May, and he's going to go on stage in a while, playing Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew", and today is an exchange activity between Chinese and Western theater culture, and your sister is one of the protagonists, and she will also act on stage later."

"The son of the chief superintendent?" Chen Mu knew about this chief superintendent, after all, they were hiding in Tibet, and the British were chasing after them, if they hadn't even heard of the chief superintendent, they wouldn't have to run away.

The chief superintendent's name is Mui Hanli, a local name transliterated from his name, which is also a tradition of foreigners, such as Governor Henry Arthur Black, who took the name "Bu Li"

"It's just that this cultural exchange between Chinese and Western drama is a normal activity, and what does it have to do with selling my sister?"

Isabella snorted coldly: "Because this chief superintendent's son has taken a fancy to your sister, this time it's just a loan, in fact, he wants to marry your sister!" ”

Chen Mu was also stunned.

Although Li Qingyu has an outstanding appearance, he has not studied art for many years, and it is already surprising to be the protagonist, how can he be taken by the son of the chief superintendent?

"You can finish it in one breath, don't hang my appetite anymore!" The matter involved Li Qingyu, where could Chen Mu endure it.

Isabella finally stopped selling Guanzi.

"Your court has signed a treaty, Kowloon in the New Territories is officially leased to the British Empire, and the Governor of Hong Kong has asked Chief Superintendent Mui Hanli to go to the New Territories to establish a police station and officially take over there."

"Mei Hanli established a village patrol, but the people did not welcome it, they called the police force pangolins, and the management of the British was even more disobedient, and the riots and turmoil never stopped."

"Your sister has already made a name for herself in Tai Po and is a new star, so Mui Hanli decided to let her son marry your sister to unite the people of the New Territories.

Hearing Isabella say this, Chen Mu finally understood the ins and outs, thinking that Li Qingyu would follow Liang Xuesong and Qin Tang to the north, who would have thought that they would be in Hong Kong?

And she was able to make a name for herself in Tai Po, which shows that her stay in Hong Kong is not short.

Chen Muzheng frowned and was silent, and Isabella whispered to Chen Mu again.

"Friend, I'll send you another piece of news, the Governor of Hong Kong, Bully, has dispatched warships and docked at Tolo Harbor, if this marriage is not successful, they will bombard Tai Po and use the strongest force to subdue Tai Po and the entire New Territories!"

"So, even if your sister doesn't want to marry, she has to marry, this is not selling, what is it?"

Chen Mu didn't expect that there would be such a thing, it seems that Fu Qingzhu already knew the inside story, so he invited him to watch the play this time, if he stood by and watched, Li Qingyu would really become a victim!

In order to occupy the New Territories, the British even used artillery bombardment, and sooner or later such an action would sweep across the whole of Hong Kong, and the capture of the walled city seemed imminent!

Of course, from the other side, the resistance of the local people is fierce enough, otherwise the British would not have used such a large force to act, which shows that the people are unwilling to let the British in!

It's just that in this big situation, I don't have time to think about it right now, how to meet Li Qingyu, this is the top priority!
