With the landlady and the two bailiffs gone, Carl and his wife hugged each other and cried. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Karl was a little desperate, he scratched his head every day to write manuscripts, write comments on current affairs, but in exchange for the manuscript fee was pitiful, not that he could not write well, but he wrote too well, except for a small number of radical newspapers and periodicals in Britain and the United States dared to publish, the rest of the large newspapers and periodicals did not dare to publish at all, so that the remuneration was very low, without remuneration, the living expenses of several members of the family, as well as the expensive rent, he could not afford to pay, and the high cost of living made him breathless.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been a special European correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune, and that he could be paid a pound per article to support his family, he would not have survived today. But lately, the editors of the New York Daily Tribune have often deleted his brilliant articles and changed them into vulgar words that appear in the paper, much to Carr's anger, but he has to swallow his anger for financial reasons.

Even so, the New York Daily Tribune noticeably reduced the number of times he was hired. This made matters worse, making Carl even more financially constrained.

In desperation, his wife Yanni and maid Helen even went to take on some sewing and mending clothes to supplement the family.

Now the weather in London is still extremely cold, and without the quilt, how should the family live? Especially a few children, Carl clutched at his messy hair in agony.

Everything, it sucks!

In the room, the eldest son Edgar, who was lying on the bed, began to moan again, Carl and his wife wiped away their tears, walked to the son's bed, and found that the stubborn son was flushed and bit his lips in pain, but he was really uncomfortable, and still moaned.

"Dad, the eldest brother is very uncomfortable, he is sweating profusely when he sees the pain, why don't you send him to the hospital? I remember my little brother was like this when he first got sick and then left us! The eldest daughter, Jenny, whispered with tears in her eyes. She was ten years old, and she understood a lot of things, knowing that her second brother and another sister were sick and dead. She feared that the same tragedy would happen to this eldest brother.

How could Carl not know that his son's illness had happened again, but he was penniless and had nothing to do. He could only say to his wife, "I'll go and get the pen you gave me, and get a few shillings for Edgar's treatment." ”

His wife Yanni said: "Carl, don't, you don't have a pen, how can you write?" Our whole family will starve to death. I went and begged my neighbor to borrow some. She didn't believe what she said, the surrounding slums, the neighbors were all poor, not to mention that no one had extra money to lend her, even if there was, they wouldn't necessarily borrow, and besides, they were all working for a while.

As the couple spoke, there was a knock on the door.

Karl's face changed, and his face turned pale. It must have been the landlord who came back with the bailiff to take away the seized items.

Damn it! It's so anxious that I can't even wait for the two hours I said!

Tuk tuk, the knock on the door didn't seem to be urgent. Carl was a little strange, when did that fat landlord get such a good temper?

A voice of self-muttering sounded outside the door: "2 8 Dean Street, the two rooms on the top floor, yes, it should be here!" ”

After a while, he started knocking on the door again.

Carl had no choice but to open the door, but outside the room was not the landlord and bailiff, but a young man with the same beard, leading several Orientals. When the young man saw Carl, he said enthusiastically, "Hello sir, I'm Howard from Ireland. Excuse me, there is a man named Karl. Mr. Maccas, do you live here? His full name is Carl? Heinrich? Mekars. ”

"What are you looking for him?" Karl didn't answer directly, and asked with some vigilance.

"That's right. I am employed in the far east, in the newly established Chinese Empire, and this is the Imperial Ambassador to Europe, Mr. Guo Songtao, and I now serve him. Young Howard introduced: "Mr. Ambassador, by order of His Majesty the Emperor, has come to London, England, to establish an embassy. Your Majesty has learned from somewhere that Mr. Karl was once the chief writer of the Prussian newspaper Neue Rheinische Zeitung, and that he was a special European correspondent of the American Daily Tribune of New York. ”

So that's it! Carl feasted already!

He couldn't have imagined that the owner of the news he had just seen not long ago would know about his existence and send someone to visit him! This undoubtedly overwhelmed Carl.

"Mr. Howard, please tell this Mr. Ambassador, and His Majesty the Emperor, that Karl is flattered by their attention! I wonder what Mr. Ambassador is looking for Carl? ”

After listening to Howard's translation, the ambassador named Guo Songtao smiled and said: "Mr. McCas, the Chinese Empire feels very cordial to the workers' brothers in Britain and even Europe, and the Empire can have a group of such workers. At the same time, he was very sympathetic to the workers' brothers who had been brutally exploited and oppressed by European capital, and prepared to set up a newspaper in London, called "The Workers' Times", with the aim of re-establishing trade unions and recruiting skilled workers to the East. Want to hire you as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, I don't know if you are interested? ”

Although Carl is very dissatisfied with the boss of the New York Daily Tribune, after all, he has been working together for many years and does not want to abandon it casually. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ambassador. Carl already has a job for the ...... of the United States"

"Sorry to interrupt! Mr. McCas, are you talking about the New York Daily Tribune? The Oriental man laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. You can work two jobs at the same time, so the salary will be higher. Moreover, in the near future, the New York Daily Tribune is likely to be acquired by His Majesty. ”

Seeing that Karl was still hesitating, the Oriental directly resorted to a killer move: "Mr. McCas, become the editor-in-chief of the "Workers' Times", our newspaper will buy you a spacious house, right next to the newspaper office, and close to the British Museum, so that it is convenient to find information. And you see, you and your wife and children are not very good-looking, and you are in great need of money to improve the conditions. We can help you! Editor-in-chief of the Workers' Times, with an annual salary of £500. ”

When Carl heard this, he could no longer resist this lucrative condition, and finally his heart was moved.

Yes, when he became a special correspondent for the New York Daily Tribune, Mr. Dana, the original editor-in-chief of the newspaper, was ready to offer himself an annual salary of 200 pounds a year, but was unexpectedly rejected by the newspaper owner Greeley. He then asked Mr. Dana and the newspaper owner Greeley to rent him an apartment in London, but was not approved.

But now, the boss from the East is giving himself an annual salary of 500 pounds, you know, this is a huge amount of money. Isn't it just for the pound to support his family by writing for the New York Daily Tribune?

Carl looked at his wife, and Yanni looked at him with an eager face. Karl remembered his son, who was still lying in the hospital bed, and nodded, "Thank you very much, distinguished Mr. Ambassador!" Carl is willing to work for you! ”

The Chinese ambassador was overjoyed.

At this moment, the door was slammed open, and the fat landlady led two bailiffs and two strong porters to enter, and when she saw Karl, she said, "Get out of the way, I'll collect my rent!" ”

Howard, the interpreter, hurried over to stop him, and after learning what had happened, he explained the situation to his boss in the East, the ambassador named Guo Songtao.

Guo Songtao ordered: "Don't let them tamper with Mr. Karl's personal belongings!" You go and get rid of them. ”

Howard took out £10 and threw it at the landlady: "Stop, Mr. Carr is moving out soon." This is your rent, please take your people and leave Mr. Karl's house immediately! ”

Watching the landlady take the money and lead the person away in a gloomy manner, Carl's heart was filled with joy.

Immediately afterwards, the Oriental man instructed Howard to bring in a doctor from outside to see his son Edgar, who judged that he was severely lacking in nutrition, his organs were failing, and he had a severe cold.

Karl couldn't help but be afraid, and his heart was full of gratitude to this Oriental, and he was grateful to Feng Yunshan, the emperor of the Far East who had never met in the newspaper.

It's just that he doesn't understand, how could an emperor notice such a down-and-out person? Do you just know your predicament? Be your own savior! Is there really a God in this world who has sent him to save himself?

Carl couldn't help but be confused!
