Chapter 290: Christmas Eve Nine
Subtitle of this chapter: Bubble expert Yuan Holmes
"I'm ......"
Our Master Yuan smiled slightly, took off his top hat and bowed down: "My surname is Yuan, my name is Yanqi, and the cursive character is Hongchuan." ”
"What?! You are ......" Miss Wei Mingzhu would have almost screamed out if she hadn't covered her mouth with her little hand in time. And her heart is really as agitated as turning over the river and the sea.
Looking at her like this, Yuan Yanqian confirmed the identity of this chick. He straightened up and said, "Miss Wei, I'm really sorry that I was abrupt." It's still nice to meet you, so ......"
Master Yuan put on his top hat and said, "Then I won't bother you." ”
Saying that, he really walked towards the side door "without hesitation", one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps......
Oh, if you don't let me stop, I'm really in.
"Slow down, Mr. Yuan. Little Lady ...... Well, the little girl would like to ask you a question. ”
Sure enough, as this bubble expert expected, Wei Mingzhu really opened his mouth to stop him.
Yuan Yan said in her heart, it is still beneficial to read more online articles. Isn't it all like this in the online text, the male protagonist meets a beautiful woman but ignores her and is very rude, this beauty usually sees a stinky man will be amazed by her beauty, and has never met such a cold man, so he has curiosity, and this curiosity finally turns into love.
He turned around slowly and asked in a slightly impatient tone, "Oh, Miss Wei, what advice do you have?" ”
Miss Wei's face flushed, and she lowered her head and asked a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Yuan, how do you know that I am Wei Mingzhu's?" ”
"Oh, that's what you're asking......" As soon as he heard this kind of question, Master Yuan instantly turned Yuan Holmes up.
He walked back to Wei Mingzhu's side, pointed to the fur coat on her body, and said solemnly: "Miss Wei, if I'm not mistaken, this is made of silk rat skin, right?" ”
The chinchilla, also known as the North American chinchilla, is a species of rodent native to the Andes region of South America. This rabbit-sized chipmunk looks like Totoro Taro in Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro", so it was called Totoro in China a hundred years later.
Not only are they cute, but their fur is also perfect for making fur coats, and they are recognized as one of the best furs in the world. Therefore, after the Europeans arrived in the Americas, they were hunted and killed, and it also became the favorite fur material of the European aristocracy. In 1920, the adorable chinchillas were almost on the verge of extinction.
Fortunately, in 1922, an American began to breed chinchillas in captivity, so that humans could see cute chinchillas outside of cartoons. But even so, a woolly mouse fur coat in a hundred years will cost at least 30,000 US dollars, and hundreds of thousands of US dollars will be produced by famous teachers.
I only heard Yuan Yan say firmly: "The fur coat you are wearing requires at least hundreds of chinchilles to make, and the cut is exquisite and elegant, which is really equivalent to gold of the same weight." Miss Wei, how many Chinese women in New York do you think can afford to wear such clothes? ”
Then he pointed to the two maids and said, "These two sisters both have a big braid, and I can't help but think that they are not your Cantonese self-combing girls?" And when I went out with two self-combing girls as maids, I really can't think of such a woman in New York. ”
The so-called self-combing women were born in the late Qing Dynasty and are a special group unique to the Pearl River Delta region. According to the "Shunde County Chronicle", at that time, the silk industry in Shunde was developed, and many female workers had considerable incomes and were financially independent. They saw that after some sisters got married, they were angry in their in-laws' family and had a low status, so they were unwilling to be bound by this and were willing not to marry for life, so they gave birth to self-combing girls. The situation of self-combing women in other parts of the Pearl River Delta is similar to that in Shunde.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the entire silk industry in China collapsed, and self-combing women could not make a living, so some people went to Hong Kong and Nanyang to work as "self-combing live-in maids", that is, sisters. The maid played by Ye Dexian in "Sister Peach" can also be regarded as the legacy of a self-combing girl.
"Hmm......" Wei Mingzhu nodded slightly, but his tone was a little disappointed, "Mr. Yuan, your vision is really sharp." is worthy of being a writer who can write "The Case of Di Gong". ”
"Hehehe......" Our Master Yuan chuckled a few times and shook his head: "This is just a foreign object, nothing but nothing." In fact, when I heard Miss Wei's recitation of "He Bridegroom", and when I saw Miss Wei again, I guessed your origin. ”
When Wei Mingzhu heard this, a strange color flashed in his starry eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Yuan Yanqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wang Zhaoming...... Well, Wang Jixin's "He Bridegroom" was written in prison after his failed assassination of the former Qing regent Zaifeng, or it was written to your fellow Nanyang countryman Chen Bijun. This song is sad but not sad, and it is stupid...... Well, pure, not only to express the ambition of the country, but also to send the love of men and women, it can be regarded as a contemporary masterpiece. ”
To put it bluntly, in the ancient style of poetry, among the modern historical figures, it is worth mentioning that he and the descendants of the heavenly demons are the others. As a traverser, Master Yuan doesn't look down on his political level and political personality, but he won't even admit this because of choking.
"It's just that a noble woman from a prominent family is just as young as you, but on this Christmas night, she recites this farewell song, why did she come? Forgive me for being abrupt, I'm afraid it's ......"
He smiled wickedly, looked up at the heavens, and said, "A hook of the waning moon flows westward, and there is no reason not to shed tears about it." ”
"Pickup pickup!"
Of course, the literary young woman couldn't hear such a lovely warning, she read this wonderful word several times stupidly, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Yuan, is this what you wrote?" ”
"What's this......" Our Master Yuan secretly said badly, and he had to say vaguely, "Count it as me...... Well, I guess I just came up with it. I'm not sure if it was done by my predecessors. ”
Of course, this is not what the past has done, but what the people of today will do next year.
"Nope! If it was written by the predecessors, how could such a good sentence not be handed down to the world? Wei Mingzhu shook his head, looked at him with admiration and said, "Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet, Mr. Yuan's talented little woman has seen it today." Sure enough......"
She sighed and said leisurely: "It's a real celebrity who ...... The wind and the flow. ”
When Yuan Yanqian heard her say this, she had a secret realization in her heart, there must be some people who reported it when they saw that they were not good, and this marriage was 404. There are so many boring villains in the world.
"Hahaha......" he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said in a manic voice, "Laughing at Hongchen on Christmas Eve, who is crazy and who is true." once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear of tiring the beauty. ”
"Master ball, you haven't made more than two crosses!"
