Chapter 228: Unintentional Bumping
The pursuit of music by the Medenor people is not a matter of one or two days, and there are also famous musicians and opera masters among them, but the repertoire of this kind of song played tonight by the Propaganda Mouth Music Troupe led by Pan Dai has a rare characteristic, which makes Jacqueline, who has been influenced by opera since childhood, shine in his eyes.
Although she couldn't understand most of the songs sung by the singers, it didn't stop her from enjoying the repertoire. In particular, she saw that the elders present were either tearful or elated when they heard those songs, combined with the cheerful rhythm and beautiful singing, presumably the performance at the dinner was very exciting. She felt that such an opera would be very popular with the people of Medeno, so she decided to invite Pan Dai to lead the singing company to a performance in Medeno.
However, Pan Dai now has only a bitter smile left in addition to a bitter smile, and the Senate is currently focusing on the restoration of the old world production technology, and everything must revolve around the old world production technology. However, the rapid development of technology in the old world, especially in the decades after World War II, was all based on electronic technology, and electronic technology was inseparable from electricity. As the head of the power department of the Senate, Pan Dai could no longer know that the total power generation of the current Dongfanggang power station could not even be supplied by a standard smelter in the old world, which also forced him to find Zhang Yuan several times a day to urge the development of power generation equipment.
Under such circumstances, Pan Dai was able to insist on running the orchestra and its current scale purely because he was not a soy sauce patriarch in the Senate. Serious and sleek, he can be regarded as a source of left and right in Dongfang Port, and has a good relationship with many music-related veterans, so he persevered in the music troupe, otherwise I am afraid it would have been abandoned early.
Music is different from the economy or infrastructure, as long as the foundation is laid, and after the construction is completed, it can be effective in a relatively short time. However, music needs an environment to cultivate and precipitate culture, just as so many excellent songs and musicians emerged in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the old world, which is inseparable from the general environment in which hundreds of schools of thought contended in terms of culture in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. When after ten years of convulsions, many musicians died or left because of persecution during the period, the music environment of the old world China became a pool of stagnant water, such as "sister, you sit on the bow of the boat", "Amitabha Buddha bless you" and other brain-dead music are all the rage, but with the impact of the tide of reform and opening up, the influx of foreign cultural values has made Chinese music become a bowl of hodgepodge without much taste, although there are also a lot of excellent music appears, but compared with the same period Europe and the United States is still far away.
Pan Dai knows this very well, so he has always paid attention to the cultural literacy and familiarity of each member of the orchestra in educating the members of his orchestra, which may not be obvious in the past ten or twenty years, but it can gradually release the light in the long run. However, the patriarchs who traveled together from the old time and space did not have such "patience" and firm "faith" as him, and even had to take a needle to catch up when they had a cold, and the pursuit of quick success and quick profit by the Chinese people in the old world was simply to the point of reaching the peak. Especially now that the entire Senate is focused on developing scientific and technological productivity, who still has the heart to care about music education that will take more than ten years to settle down? For this, although he can be regarded as a veteran of an important department, he still does not get much support in the Senate, so he can only make up one or two more strokes of his dream as much as possible on his own one-acre and three-point land.
Jacqueline's warm invitation made Pan Dai's eyes suddenly brighten, the study of symphony in the Western world of the old world started quite early, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries The development of European military music greatly promoted the development of percussion and wind music in symphony, although it is not known whether there is marching music in the army of the Medenor people, but with the attitude of this princess towards music, the Medenor people should have a certain degree of musical attainment.
Pan Dai's interest was soon agreed with Jacqueline, and the two chatted enthusiastically about music. Although Pan Dai knew more about music than the princess, her concepts were so advanced that Jacqueline had never heard of many terms and had to explain them one by one.
Xiao Jing was really speechless now, he had done so much psychological struggle before, and he mustered up the courage to invite the beautiful princess out, but the elders who passed by were one after another, I really don't know where there are so many elders tonight, he still specially chose this time period when the elders don't often appear. But he has no way at all now, for Jacqueline, whether it is Xiao Jing or Pan Dai, there is actually no difference for her, to be exact, talking to Pan Dai makes her less stressful, at least it is more interesting to speak with a common language.
"Anyway, why are you two together tonight? Doesn't your Air Force need combat readiness on duty? Xiao Jing felt bored, so he had to turn to ask Yuan Zhenli on the side. Yuan Zhenli and Zhang Yuan were both looking at Jacqueline on the opposite side and almost drooled, Yuan Zhenli was pushed before reacting, "I'm helping out in the Industrial Committee now, and it's not a matter for the commander-in-chief of the Air Force to be on combat readiness duty, there are special officers on duty, and with our existing conditions, we can't attack around the clock, I don't dare to let my men fight this kind of night attack battle, maybe I won't be able to find the direction back after taking off." ”
"I said Xiao Jing, what's going on? Where did you dig out such a big beauty? Zhang Yuan wiped his mouth, wiped the saliva that existed in his heart and continued, "Where did it come from?" Tell me, I'll get one too. ”
"What kind of quality do you have? What do you mean by gouging out? He is the head of the negotiation team of Medeno, isn't this here to discuss? Xiao Jing was a little unconfident in speaking by himself, his voice was getting lower and lower, Zhang Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, "You can talk about it!" Pick up girls and pick up girls, what else to discuss? What can you discuss? This lonely man and widow in the middle of the night is almost a dry firewood, and they are still discussing negotiations, talking about eggs? It's good to talk about marriage directly. ”
"Okay, okay," Yuan Zhenli tugged on Zhang Yuan's shoulder, "Forget it, you can't eat grapes and grapes, aren't you just a foreign girl?" These foreign girls look good-looking at first glance, but they can't stand a closer look, their skin is rough and pores, their hair is rich and their body odor is heavy, and they are glamorous outside, but if they really marry at home, they have to pinch their noses and eat. ”
"Feelings, you know? Your Yang girl is not a Yanpony! How do you know? Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan suddenly looked like he suddenly realized, "Oh! I know, you've definitely soaked in a foreign girl! I know, I will definitely report you the next time I see Yang Canling! You just wash up and wait for your daughter-in-law to clean you up! ”
"Hahaha......" The three elders suddenly burst into laughter, only Jacqueline and Pan Dai, who had just been chatting heartily, looked at this side with puzzled eyes, not knowing what they were going to do.
============================= divider =============================
"What? The princess went out with a member of the Senate Executive Committee? Stone's mouth became a big "O" shape, and his eyes stared at the princess chamberlain in front of him. The princess chamberlain in front of him was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she was thin and wearing a black long skirt, and at the moment she was wearing a large long skirt hood on her head, and she didn't dare to look up, but just lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, sir, the princess went out with a member of the Senate." ”
This princess maid is Jacqueline's favorite maid, and she usually takes her everywhere, but today Jacqueline went out without her, which made the maid feel quite strange.
"What's going on?" It was only recently that he had recently received authorization from the Senate Executive Committee to come to the guest house to assist the Medenor diplomatic corps in the preparation of the outline of the negotiations. He arrived overnight to start working on the outline of the negotiations early, but he got the news that Princess Jacqueline, the head of the mission, was going on a night trip with a member of the Senate, which made him wonder what was going on for a while.
Although it is said that the defense of men and women of the Maidno people is not as deep as the Wu Dynasty he knows, but the woman is a woman after all, and in this unmarried situation, he went out late at night with a man he had just met - even if the crime rate was not high, this was something that could not be allowed to happen!
"Colonel Stone!" A familiar voice came from the side, and Ston turned his head to look over, it turned out to be Miro in pajamas, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has gone out with Executive Committee Xiao Jing." ”
"How can this be?" Ston almost jumped, "How can a princess go out late at night with these people?" She's not married yet! What happens if it gets out? Who else would dare to marry her? ”
"The security here is very good, there shouldn't be anything, right?" Miro rubbed his somewhat hazy eyes and yawned and said, "The quality of these elders is very high, so there shouldn't be any problems." ”
"We're talking about Her Highness's reputation," Ston stomped on the floor, "If Her Highness's reputation is damaged, can you take responsibility?" He stomped very hard, the guest house in the port area of the Oriental Port was a brick and wood structure, and the floor was paved, and with this foot, there was a "bang" in the princess's bedroom.
"What sound?" Both Myroston and the princess's chamberlain heard the sound, which was the sound of a hard object hitting the wooden floor, and several people rushed into the room despite the ban on the princess's bedroom not being allowed to enter casually.
The princess's chamberlain carried a kerosene lamp in her hand, and although the light was dim at the moment, it was still able to illuminate all parts of this "presidential suite". But what makes people feel strange is that although the noise was very loud just now, they didn't see anything unusual in the house, and several people rummaged for a while, but couldn't find anything.
"Maybe we just misheard," Ston muttered, nodded to the princess's chamberlain and walked out, Miro had been looking for it for a long time, and now he relaxed, his right hand covering his mouth and yawning as he walked out. The princess's chamberlain looked around again, made sure that nothing was wrong, and went out with the kerosene lamp. At this moment, he heard a "poof", and this sudden sound frightened the princess's chamberlain to scream, and woke up the guards who were resting in the next few rooms, and rushed out with their respective weapons open the door.
But what appeared in front of the princess's guards almost made people laugh off their big teeth, and there was a man on the ground wearing pajamas and a nightcap on his head, and the person lying on his head outward and his body inside the door was none other than Miro.
"Mr. Miro! How are you in Her Royal Highness Princess's bedroom? "Two flintlock pistols with wide rams were almost immediately pressed against Miro's head, and several more flintlock pistols were pressed against Stone's chest, and even the princess's chamberlain, who was so frightened that she held up the kerosene lamp, had several long knives pointed at her chest at this moment." What about Her Royal Highness the Princess? "Are you here to threaten the safety of Her Royal Highness?"
"Bastard! Get rid of all your weapons! A woman's voice came from afar, "What are you doing at my bedroom door?" ”
Everyone was stunned, isn't this voice Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why did Her Highness the Princess's voice come from the other end of the hallway? Everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess, Jacqueline walked over in a short-sleeved red floor-length dress. Jacqueline was now surrounded by a strangely dressed Chinese, with a straight short cardigan top and straight trousers, which looked quite reliable. The man was carrying a large cloth bag with the words "Ministry of Commerce and Trade Gifts" written in Chinese.
Ston knew at a glance that the princess must have been taken by that person to visit the sample library of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of Oriental Port, as a "naturalized citizen" who has lived here for almost two years, his status is quite high, and he is quite familiar with the sample library of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. Every once in a while, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade goes to the Industry Board to inspect the various materials that can be used for export, and then collects samples of each goods into a sample bank. Once a trader arrives at the Oriental Port, the dealer will be led by the commissioner of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade to the sample library to check the samples of various commodities and decide on the type of materials to be purchased.
In addition to being familiar with the sample library, Ston is more familiar with that Chinese, because that is Xiao Jing, one of the five executive committee members of the executive committee, and Zhang Yuan of the industrial committee not far away, he doesn't know what the princess experienced tonight, but being able to see two senators in such a place is enough to show that the senate attaches great importance to the identity of the princess.
"What is this?" Miro did not pay attention to the princess and the others, stood up in the stunned eyes of the two musketeers, crouched down again, and when he stood up again after a while, he held a black cylindrical thing in his hand, "What is this?" What is it for? Why are there two long threads behind it? ”
