Chapter 102: Looting the Classics!
"Hey, the young master's body smells of fat powder, hey, hey, young master, is it that some daughter's family wants you again?" Next to him, Xiao Bai took the tea bowl with a wicked smile and said.
Shi Dakai glared at Xiaobai, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, what is my daughter's house, those ghost women, one or two with red and green eyes, look at it and make people feel nightmares, and they are all wearing the kind of clothes that even expose their arms, tsk, I really don't know what to say." ”
"The kind of clothes you are talking about are the kind worn by Western aristocrats, called evening dresses, which ordinary people can't wear, so it seems that there are a lot of aristocrats tonight." Shi Xianggu is much more knowledgeable than her younger brother Shi Dakai.
"That's right." Shi Dakai nodded, and accompanied Liang Pengfei all the way to hear those awkward foreign names, this baron, that viscount, in the end, he couldn't remember any of them when he was dizzy. "It's still that Liang Shao, at the beginning, those Xiyi nobles still regarded us as hillbillies who had never seen much of the world, but as soon as Liang Shao opened his mouth, he shocked all those Xiyi......"
Shi Dakai talked about Liang Pengfei's performance at the cocktail party, which made Shi Xianggu interested. After listening to Shi Dakai's explanation, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect Young Master Liang to be really versatile to such a degree. ”
"That's, those ghost women, one by one, looked at Liang Shao's eyes, tsk, like blood-sucking flies, I got goosebumps when I saw it." Shi Dakai was half envious and half joking. "Especially the governor's wife, she simply circled around Liang Shao, and took the initiative to invite Liang Shao to dance the kind of Western ballroom dance, and the two ...... I can't say it, it's really embarrassing. ”
These words made the smile on Shi Xiang's face condense slightly, and he poured out a few drops of tea from the teacup in his hand without noticing. "Oh, hehe, too, Liang is a young man who is less romantic, and more knowledgeable, so he is naturally eye-catching...... By the way, is Liang Shao back? This was said indifferently, but Xiao Bai, who was standing behind her, clearly saw that the young lady's expression was a little strange, but Xiao Bai, who was transparent and well-behaved, did not say anything, just stood quietly behind. But in his heart, he beat the small drum, thinking of the young lady's somewhat strange behavior during this period of time, every time he saw Young Master Liang, the smile on his face would always be a little more.
"Perhaps, it is also a good choice to let that Young Master Liang join our Shi family." The gossip fire of the personal guard Xiaobai began to burn irrepressibly.
"Didn't he come back with me right next door to us? We almost went to the wrong yard just now, hehe, these Xiyi people's houses are really weird, and they don't distinguish between southeast and west, they all look like ghosts, and they always make people feel like they're going the wrong way. Shi Dakai didn't notice the strange look on his sister's face and said with a smile.
Somehow, Shi Xianggu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in her heart. "By the way, it's you, brother, don't know how to read all day long, our Shi family will be counting on you." Shi Xianggu shifted the topic to her younger brother again, but Liang Pengfei's figure was always wandering in her mind, the faint evil smile that overflowed from the corners of her mouth, the handsome face full of sunshine, the majestic figure that seemed to never fall, and the warm embrace that seemed to always make people feel at ease, all of this was like a nightmare, and Shi Xianggu couldn't drive him out of her mind...... --------------------
At this moment, Young Master Liang was lying on his desk, intently looking at the various materials collected in the Governor's Palace. Beside him, six or seven clerks who had been transferred to know the Spanish language, each carrying a collection of information about the Luzon Islands that had been found in the archives of the Doge's Palace, were transcribing on the move.
And at this time, there are still people who keep moving in all kinds of books from the outside to the inside, as long as Master Liang thinks it is useful, he has to stay, there are many books on all aspects of knowledge, for Liang Pengfei, who lacks science and technology teaching materials in his hand, it is simply a treasure.
And the information about the Luzon Islands that the Spaniards have stored here contains more than 200 years of exploration, life and discovery by the Spaniards on this island, such as mineral veins, such as where various crops are suitable, which area has reefs and rapids, and how the climate in which area will change every year, all of which makes Liang Pengfei feel that this is more precious than the war reparations of one million taels of silver.
With these things, you can learn about the sea and archipelago in this area in the shortest possible time. Let Liang Pengfei not know how much heart to save and how much energy and wealth to spend when establishing his own territory.
"Young master, the person sent by the master has already arrived at the door." At this time, Zhang Xingba walked in and said to Liang Pengfei.
"Oh? Let him in. Liang Pengfei threw the document in his hand to the clerk next to him and stood up. Daddy sent someone over, what will happen? ”
"Young master, the old man sent the little one to ask the young master when he will return to King Crab Island, in addition, everything on the island is safe, those prisoners of war are also very handy, and the old man also asked me to explain to the young master, the old man recruited a group of sailors from his hometown, I think come, those extra ships can also come in handy temporarily. This is what the master instructed me to bring to you, young master. The servant who had come from King Crab Island respectfully handed over a small wooden box.
Liang Pengfei stretched out his hand to take it, and on it was a letter, Liang Pengfei opened the wooden box first, but found that it was full of cigar smoke. The letter didn't say much, but it just said that the family also came to the letter, everything in the family was safe, and that Liang Shao liked to smoke this big cigarette roll, and the old man Liang felt that this kind of cigarette was not the right taste, so he sent them all, but he seriously warned Liang Pengfei not to smoke more, which was not good for his health.
"Young master, what did the master explain in the letter?" Steward Lu next to him saw that Young Master Liang's eyes were red, and asked cautiously. How did he know that Young Master Liang was moved by his father's seemingly nonsense concern.
"It's nothing, it's just some family strengths." Liang Pengfei sniffed and smiled. The warmth in my heart is something I don't want to share with others.
"Originally, when the old man sent the little one here, he was worried that the young master would not go well on your side, but I didn't expect that I heard Brother Xingba say that in less than half a day, you scared the governor of Naxiyi to the point of urine, crying and shouting to surrender to the young master, and also compensated the old Liang family for so much silver, and even land. The little ones were so happy that they couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west. The subordinates sent by the Liang officials looked at the young master Liang with eyes full of enthusiasm and admiration.
"Hehe, it's just a little one, it's just more than a thousand Xiyi, and it doesn't cost much. Since everything is safe at home and on the island, what else did the lord say? Liang Pengfei smiled faintly, in the past few days, Young Master Liang has been touted by his subordinates and has been a little numb.
"The master also said, it's almost the end of the year now, young master, don't forget that General Fu's birthday banquet is the appointment, Pan Youdu Boss Pan, I have already asked someone to find Mrs., it seems that I am afraid that you will not be able to go back by then."
"yes, it's time to go." Liang Pengfei stood up, let out a long breath, and was going back to Guangzhou again, as soon as he thought that he would have to play a slave and curry favor with those Manchu officials and generals, Liang Pengfei's face became a little gloomy. "Tomorrow, in addition to leaving two thousand brothers to guard the key points in turn, the other brothers will get together and take five thousand taels of silver from Steward Lu to buy wine, meat, and vegetables. Well, take a little more, just take 10,000 taels, and by the way, let our compatriots also come to be happy and happy, this is what is it called, the military and the people. Young Master Liang proudly displayed a classic phrase plagiarized from later generations.
--------------------
During this period of time, under Liang Pengfei's grace and power, almost no one dared to get half a drop of wine indiscriminately, let alone dare to drink or something. And now, under this order of Young Master Liang, it naturally provoked those excited subordinates to jump up and cheer.
"By the way, there are also those brothers and sisters of the Shi family, we can't learn from those ruthless and unrighteous Xiyi pirates, well, forget it, it's better for me to go to Miss Shi myself." Liang Pengfei thought about it and felt that it was really a wonderful reason to visit Miss Shi for this reason.
"Young master, just let me go, the little one promises to complete the task." Bai Shusheng jumped out at this time and volunteered, in exchange for a pair of white eyes from Young Master Liang.
"Liang Shao, why are you here?" Xiao Bai, who heard the movement outside the house, poked his head out and saw Liang Pengfei walking into the courtyard gate.
"Oh, haven't you slept yet?" Liang Pengfei smiled at Xiaobai, stretched his neck and looked inside the room. Seeing Liang Pengfei's actions, Xiaobai couldn't help but hide his lips and snicker. At this time, Shi Xianggu's pretty shadow appeared at the door, and when she saw Liang Pengfei's face that smiled before speaking, Shi Xianggu's face couldn't help but burn slightly.
After hearing Liang Pengfei's intention, Shi Xianggu did not shirk too much, and immediately agreed to Liang Pengfei's request and let the sailors of the Shiliang family have a dinner together.
"After tomorrow, the day after tomorrow we should leave Luzon and go our separate ways." Shi Xianggu took the fragrant tea brought by Xiaobai, and her tone was a little gloomy.
Liang Pengfei was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but his face still showed a man's unique open-mindedness. "Miss Shi, you and my Liang family are at the mouth of the Pearl River, and with the friendship of joining forces to resist the enemy and fighting even victories this time, you should often come and go."
"Liang Shao, your wisdom and courage, I and my sister really admire it, and I am willing to make you a friend. However, I am afraid that the exchanges between our two families will be ...... in the future," Shi Dakai gritted his teeth, opened the skylight, and said brightly. "My father and Mr. Liang have never dealt with each other, this time, if it weren't for Sister A's desire to avenge her deceased husband, how would she agree."
