Chapter 542: The Reception Banquet (2) Newspaper Office
"Hey! What are you packing up in front of me? Anyway, I've seen you the ugliest. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info", seeing Xia Bing, who had cleaned himself up relatively neatly, Zhang Xiao said nonchalantly. Because when you are on the ship, it is not convenient to wash. So a lot of times, there's no way to clean yourself up. After getting along day and night, Zhang Xiao has also seen Xia Bing's life-like side.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" , Xia Bing, who was still thinking differently, immediately replied in a dissatisfied tone.
At this time, the servant came over and said with a courteous face: "Director Zhang, your water is here." I also put tea leaves from the Qing Kingdom. ”。
"Hmm!" , Zhang Xiao answered, and planned to take it.
Xia Bing, who was unhappy, immediately reached out to grab it.
But Zhang Xiao, who has suffered a loss, has long been guarding against Xia Bing's set. So at the moment Xia Bing made a move, he did it in advance.
You must know that Xia Bing's figure is much petite than Zhang Xiao. The length of his arm is far less than that of Zhang Xiao. So when Zhang Xiao had a heart, he was very sad to fail in snatching.
Grunt, after drinking it all in one gulp, Zhang Xiao blinked his mouth. In that way, it is full of the overcomer's bravado.
Xia Bing took a deep breath before finally calming down. Looking at the Filipino maid standing stupidly, he asked in a very bad tone, "How did you let him in?" Don't you know that you can't let strangers into my room?
Also, tea is so expensive now? Who told you to make tea casually? ”。
This series of questionnaires immediately stopped the Filipino maid. The small black grape-like eyes also flashed several times. After a while, he reacted, and said with a face full of grievances: "It was Director Zhang who said that he was a friend of Miss." So, it's not a stranger, is it? And Miss, you also said last night that the tea leaves at home have been left for too long, and if you don't drink them again, you will take them and throw them away. ”。
"You ----", Xia Bing really wanted to replace the servant who turned his elbow out.
Zhang Xiao, who has been a spectator, immediately laughed and said, "If you have to be, come to me if you are angry, don't embarrass others." ”。
This remark of relieving the siege immediately won the favor of the servant. The little stars in those eyes are about to escape.
Zhang Xiao didn't have time to pay attention to her. He clapped his hands, and the guards he brought with him immediately came in with seven or eight gift boxes.
"Here's the clothes I picked out for you. I don't know what kind of style you like, so I brought you the popular styles of Daming in recent years. ”。
Xia Bing, who was still angry, suddenly felt much more comfortable when he heard this. However, on the face, he still disdainfully said: "Who is rare!" ”。
Zhang Xiao was about to refute, but Xia Bing had already asked the maid to carry these clothes into her room.
Seeing Xia Bing's inconsistent actions, Zhang Xiao's heart suddenly became inexplicably happy. The rebuttal was immediately swallowed back into his stomach.
After that, Xia Bing competed and chose a cheongsam with a slit at the bottom. Although the Ming Dynasty prohibits the wearing of clothing with obvious non-Han characteristics, it does not mean that the elements on the costumes of other ethnic groups are prohibited in the Ming Dynasty.
As long as the elements of different ethnic costumes are combined and innovated, it will become something created by Daming himself. Then even if it can't, it's the same as the clothing of the original group.
Therefore, this improved version of the cheongsam does not reflect the ethnic characteristics of the Manchu banner people.
And even if it is placed in the Qing Dynasty, there may not be any flag people who dare to wear it.
After all, compared with the wide and conservative style of the traditional cheongsam, the improved version of the Daming cheongsam is relatively narrow and open. And as much as possible, highlight the beauty of women's figures.
If the banner people of the Ming Dynasty dare to wear it like this, it will be a violation of customs and a pig cage.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the improved cheongsam is one of the costumes that can be circulated.
But the cheongsam is very particular about the figure! The average woman is difficult to wear out the feeling.
As a Jiangnan woman, Xia Bing is already fair-skinned and petite. So it was quiet, and it also carried the gentle air unique to Jiangnan women. And the convex place is also convex, and the warped place is also warped. After being decorated with a cheongsam, the whole person gave Zhang Xiao the feeling that he was a completely different person.
"Bah! Are you still Xia Bing? How do you look like a woman? ”。 Looking at the poetic woman with hair in front of him, Zhang Xiao said in surprise.
"Die!" , Xia Bing used two words to express his anger. It's also her usual behavior, which doesn't look like a woman. So this suddenly changed his style, which made Zhang Xiao a little uncomfortable.
Now hearing this familiar scolding, Zhang Xiao is sure that the person in front of him is really Xia Bing.
Then the two quarreled for a while, and Zhang Xiao pulled Xia Bing and rushed to participate in the evening reception.
Wait until the sun goes down and the sky is full of stars. The Ambassador Hotel in Mingjing is beautifully decorated by the electric lights that have just begun to be popularized. Steam cars, accompanied by a roaring roar, stopped steadily in front of the hotel. Immediately, the waiter stepped forward and invited the brightly dressed guests down from the car.
The driver, under the leadership of the relevant waiter, drove the car to the parking lot of the Ambassador Hotel.
Because the characters who appeared tonight are more important, their identities are not low. Therefore, reporters from all over Mingjing also rushed over. made the outside of the Ambassador Hotel, surrounded by black and oppressive people.
As a columnist for "World Scandals", Lewis is squeezing into a large crowd of peers, struggling to grab a good position that is convenient for filming and interviewing. He was an immigrant of Indian origin and was divided by Indian caste, and he was also a high-caste nobleman, Kshatriya.
It's just that he's out of luck!
In his territory Bengal, after being occupied by the British. All his privileges vanished. All wealth was also looted and looted by the British. Later, he was attracted by the news of Daming's discovery of gold, and used his last bit of money to buy a ticket to Daming.
It's a pity that there are too many people digging for gold. He came to Daming relatively late. After the policy was changed, he trained for a long time at the Civilization Technical School, now Linbei University, but he did not get a miner's certificate.
So he also gave up the idea of panning for gold and chose other crafts.
Thanks to his literacy, he is fluent in English, Persian, Burmese and the native Indian language. So when he was at the Civilization Technical School, he became one of the few administrators who assisted in the management of immigration. It's a lot easier than the hard work.
But after the reform of the Ming Dynasty, various newspapers also sprung up. Due to his language advantage, he was assigned to work in Daming Daily.
In this way, within a few years, he ran into a big opportunity. That is the famous intelligence department of Daming, who suddenly found him and asked him to cooperate with the intelligence department to make a big news.
For this reason, a shell newspaper called "Scandals and News in the World" was also set up.
