Chapter 446 Requirements
Wan Qiyang also thought that this was the meaning when he heard it, and when he looked at the old man, he also found that the old man looked relieved, it seems that this was really said by Jack, so it makes sense, so it is spread out that the family has no face, and the innocence of this girl naturally does not exist, so the housekeeper will have the courage to make this request.
"Oh, I see, then let me ask you, what are you doing at sea? If you weren't captured by pirates, how can you explain that you're on my ship? Wan Qiyang asked the old man again.
"Dear sir, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. for saving his life, we are actually the new nobles of Huntingdonshire, but now it is also a little declining, so the family sent people to the sea for trade a while ago, our young lady happens to have a hobby and research on mathematics and physics, so she also went to sea, but I didn't expect to encounter pirate robbery not long after going to sea, and now only the five of us have survived and are not harmed. Please raise your noble hand to help us with this, I think our family will still be grateful. "The old man is the most nervous time at this moment, because Wan Qiyang's answer determines their life fate, as the old housekeeper of the family, he is forced to come out this time, and at the same time he also knows that the family has spent a lot of money to let them go to sea to trade this time, and he is eager to succeed in this sea trade and return with a full load, so as to alleviate the family's bad luck and low finances.
Wan Qiyang glanced at the girl who had been keeping her head down at this time, and always felt a little familiar, but how could she feel that she could know a foreign woman, could it be like a certain movie star in later generations, by the way, this girl is very similar to Kate Beckinsale, that is, the heroine in the movie "Van Helsing" and "Legend of the Night", Wan Qiyang also likes these two movies with a magical theme with a vampire theme. Foreign girls are also precocious, and they are very mature at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
The housekeeper saw that Wan Qiyang had been staring at their young lady, and he was also frightened in his heart, could it be that this man with an oriental face fell in love with the young lady? Could it be that the other party is also a young master who is in a hurry? So he hurriedly moved his body to block Wan Qiyang's sight. At this time, Wan Qiyang realized that he had also looked at the girl for a while, but this couldn't be blamed on him, first of all, because the other party had kept his head down, and it was not positive, but Wan Qiyang had been thinking about who he looked like, so it seemed that the time was a little longer, and it was normal to be misunderstood.
"Ahem, sorry, I'm thinking about a problem that got distracted! Is Huntingdonshire next to Cambridgeshire? I do know of someone from this county, well, it seems to be Oliver Cromwell, yes! That's the name. Wan Qiyang remembered an important figure in the history of Yingyin, who was also a person from this county.
The man Wan refers to is Oliver Cromwell (25 April 1599 – 3 September 1658), Lord Protector of the English Republic, who forced the English monarch to abdicate, dissolved Parliament, and turned England into a bourgeois republic, established the English Republic, and became the Lord Protector of England, becoming the de facto head of state of England.
Cromwell was born on 25 April 1599 into a declining new aristocratic family in Huntingdonshire. As a young man, he studied at a famous Puritan college in Cambridge and was influenced by Puritan thought.
In 1642, when the English Civil War began, he stood on the side of the revolutionary camp of Parliament and made many achievements with the "Iron Cavalry" he organized. In 1645, Congress authorized Cromwell to reorganize the army, and he formed a "new model army" based on the Iron Cavalry. He commanded this army and defeated the army of the royal party.
On January 30, 1649, under pressure from the people, he executed King Charles I in the name of parliament and the army. In May, Britain was declared a republic, becoming the de facto military dictator. He suppressed the Diggers movement and sent troops on an expedition to Ireland. In 1653, he disbanded Parliament and appointed himself "Lord Protector", but the domestic economic situation continued to deteriorate, class contradictions became increasingly acute, and Cromwell was never able to stabilize the situation.
He died of illness in 1658.
Therefore, Wan Qiyang suddenly remembered this name, and this character is not small at all.
When Wan Qiyang proposed this name, the old man was also surprised, and even the girl raised her head at this time. Wan Qiyang looked at them in surprise at this time, and he was a little inexplicable, could it be that they also knew this person? It stands to reason that Oliver Cromwell is not very famous now!
"Sir, you really know the young master of our family, that's great!" The old man was really brought hope by Wan Qiyang's words at this time, and he was a little out of shape, after all, it was a matter of life and death with himself.
"Well, I can't talk about acquaintance, so I can agree to your request, but you also need to promise me a condition." Wan Qiyang also put forward a condition. Captain Richard and Jack were all amazed as to why Wan Qiyang would name a name that would be part of the family of these people. Could it be that this son from the East is a big man?
"Sir, just mention it, as long as our family can do it, we will definitely not postpone it!" At this point, the housekeeper was completely relaxed, and he didn't have too many worries about it.
"That's easy, I need a nobleman, you see we're always in the port now, we can't always be on the ship!?" After Wan Qiyang directly raised this question, he looked at the old housekeeper, and hoped that the other party would express this attitude.
"Huh!? Sir, are you talking about this condition? The old man asked again.
"That's right! Are there any difficulties? Wan Qiyang didn't expect the other party to ask a rhetorical question, I don't know what this rhetorical question means to him!
"I'm sorry, sir, please forgive me for being rude, that's the case, although our Oliver family is a new nobleman, but the family has declined a little in the past two years, so the family sent people to trade at sea, but now that this disaster has occurred, maybe the family will be reduced to a second-class family when they go back this time." Since then, Mr.'s status has also declined, and we are also afraid of delaying Mr.'s career. And if Mr. wants to join our family, because Mr.'s eastern face can only be a relative, so he will lose more of his reputation. Please think about it more, unless," the old man seemed to think of another way, but suddenly fell silent.
"Huh?! Unless what? Wan Qiyang also felt that this housekeeper had any good way to solve this matter, so he hurriedly asked.
"Sir, please forgive the old man for being rude, may I ask if the gentleman is a nobleman in the East? And so the West came because of trade? The old man's question also made Wan Qiyang faintly guess some clues.
"Hahaha, did you ever think that I have other identities, you missionaries have also been to the East early in the morning, and you must know that our country also has its own religion, haha, I am also a missionary, but I am a special person, and I am also called the 'Great Prophet' on your side, but you can't pass on this identity casually, otherwise you will be killed. Including you guys! Wan Qiyang said and turned to the captain and Jack to say the same, although the two were also surprised when they heard it, but they also knew that Wan Qianyang's methods were very harmful, and nodded hurriedly.
"I am also a nobleman in my own country, but this nobleman is much more noble than you. Also, do you want to trade with me? To redeem your family's decline? Wan Qiyang's words were very imposing. It also made the housekeeper suddenly feel that the young man in front of him suddenly had a sudden change in momentum, which was even more restrained than when he saw his patriarch. This can only show that Wan Qianyang's words are not false at all, this person is noble and capable, so he is really not worthy of the other party on his side. But he still wants to fight for it, it is also a great thing to have such a big force as the backstage, and it is also a great good thing for their family!
"Sir, it's just that this is the most direct and effective way that the old man has come up with, as long as Mr. can get engaged to our young lady, he can get the nobility of our family's direct relatives. As for the question of trade, it is all up to the gentleman, but she doesn't know what she means! "The old man is also a little embarrassed, if the young lady doesn't agree, he has to persuade him!
