Chapter 323 The Franc Machine and Zhang Gongzi (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
If other ladies were showy, of course they wouldn't sneak out in disguise as men, even if they were really so unruly, and they were suddenly entangled by two foreign devils, not to mention that their souls were scattered, it was for sure. However, Xiaobei still remembered that when she was very young, she had seen all kinds of small utensils painted with such blonde and blue-eyed men and women on her father's lap, and she had always been a thief, so she just frowned at this time.
Immediately after, she actually said bluntly: "In your Franc machine, staring at other people's clothes is not a polite behavior, right?" ”
The two Franco-Robot people were suddenly a little stunned, and one of the older ones hurriedly explained: "Childe, I'm sorry, my companion is a little anxious. We came to Putuo Mountain just to learn about the Buddha that the people here believe in. I accidentally saw that the silk that Childe was wearing was different from someone else's, so I took the liberty to ask, and there was absolutely no other meaning. ”
Although Wang Fulin and Xiaobei did not look gorgeous, they were accustomed to seeing all kinds of Chinese brocade and satin fabrics in Macao, and they were very able to distinguish between good and bad materials, so they suddenly found that this seemingly ordinary green satin was faintly mixed with strange patterns, especially the piping layer. However, the question just now was too straightforward, the two of them went to Putuo Mountain this time, they came from the sea secretly, if they were discovered by the army of those hundreds of households and thousands of households, it would be an uproar, so after the two apologized, they had to leave quickly.
At this moment, Wang Fulin suddenly asked, "Are you missionaries from Macao?" ”
Seeing that the two Franco-Rang people were a little puzzled, Wang Fulin thought of the name of Macao in the Portuguese mouth, and changed his words and asked, "I'm asking you." Isn't it a missionary in Macau? ”
The whole of Macau Island. There are missionaries. The problem is that missionaries and ordinary people cannot go ashore to Chinese soil in their spare time, otherwise it will be a small matter to alarm the local government and a big matter for the army to intervene. And on the entire island of Macau, the number of people who can speak Chinese will definitely not exceed two slaps, that is, ten people, and the two of them are one of them. So. Hearing the young man in front of him directly mention Macau in Portuguese habits, and talk about missionaries, the two did not have the surprise of meeting their old acquaintances in a foreign country, but felt that their identities had been exposed. Fortunately, they had not been in Macau for a day or two, and immediately smiled cautiously.
"This son, we are from Macau, but we are not missionaries. In your words, we are Franc machine people, and we used to be from famous families. Seeing that Wang Fulin's attitude was very peaceful, he thought of the purpose of coming to Putuo Mountain this time. The older man decided to take a risk, and said quite respectfully. "We came to Putuo Mountain this time to admire the scenery of this beautiful island, and secondly, to fulfill the wish of the Bishop. The bishop wanted to learn about the teachings of Buddhism, and he hoped to invite a monk from Putuo Mountain who was deeply aware of Buddhism to return. ”
In fact, let them coax or abduct a Buddhist monk to go back no matter what method they use! Since the missionaries came to the East, whether in India or Japan, they have finally been able to open up the situation, but only in China they have not been able to enter at all, so Janailao, who had just been appointed bishop for a few years, wanted to understand how Buddhism spread in China in the first place, so he gave them such a task. But they were merchants, and they didn't have that kind of enthusiasm for mission, so they asked about silk first, and now they came up with their real purpose.
From the conversation just now, Wang Fulin felt that the tone of the two people was a little strange, but there were not too many grammatical problems. He didn't know that there were so few people on Macao Island who knew Chinese, and secretly thought that if all the foreign devils on the island could speak Chinese, it would be extraordinary. Therefore, he didn't care about what these two people claimed to bring back monks who were profound in Buddhism, and kept silent about Buddhism, and then asked these people with a smile about the geography and people of Macao, and so on, and finally even asked them if they had any books from the Buddha Langji, but when the other party really gave a copy without saying a word, he was dumbfounded.
It seems like...... Seem...... Probably Latin? How could he have forgotten that English was by no means dominant these days, and that French, Latin, Portuguese, and Spanish were more popular in Europe than English in a mere island country! Looking at the posture of this thick pamphlet, it is very likely that it is the Bible!
Of course, on the surface, this conversation is still very speculative. However, Xiaobei felt that Wang Fulin looked like a curious baby, and the two Franc machine people were vigorously advocating how good Wang Fulin asked how good the macau was, as if they were trying their best to trick people into going to the island to have a look. It wasn't until the two Franco-sturgeon people said goodbye and left, that Xiaobei couldn't help but ask: "Why are you talking so much with them, is it possible that you want to fight the Franco-man?" I remember that these Franco-robot people seem to have rented the island you mentioned, and I heard that it is about the same size as Putuo Mountain, it is a barren land, and the output is very small, so it will be rented at that time, what is there to see? ”
"That's what I said about Macau, Macau is just the name that the Portuguese themselves gave to Macau."
Wang Fulin was very surprised when he saw Xiaobei hear the three words Portugal, so he shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then said that he had read a lot of idle books, and told her about the countries on the European continent, what England, what France, what Italy, and picked a few European countries to tell the little girl messy court stories. Knowing that the group of blonde and blue-eyed people collectively known as Francois are divided into so many countries, Xiaobei only feels that this world is too amazing. As a result, she naturally forgot why Wang Fulin was so long-winded with these Portuguese just now, and what kind of messy idea he was playing.
When he returned to the inn, after Wang Fulin half urinated, he never saw anyone's behavior again, Mrs. Su just said a few words, but Mrs. Ye reminded her that since she arrived at Putuo Mountain, she must worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha, and when Wang Fulin explained that there were many people on the mountain road to Puji Temple, he didn't go up, so he went to Chaoyin Cave to worship and refused to go to Guanyin, the old lady laughed and stopped dwelling on this Buddha. No one noticed that Wang Fulin quietly assigned Yang Wencai and the three dart masters to inquire about the dynamics of the two Portuguese. Just by the appearance of the blonde hair and blue eyes, the news came in a moment.
"They don't stay at the guest house, they live directly on the boat?"
Wang Fulin was suddenly a little embarrassed. Don't look at the politeness he had to be to these two people before, he didn't pay attention to it in his heart, and once planned to tie people up and stuff them directly into his own cabin and take them back to Dinghai, and then carefully inquire about the situation of the Portuguese entrenched on Macau Island. You know, since the Portuguese began to stretch their hand to the East 50 years ago, there have been many wars along the coast, from Shuangyu and Tuen Mun to other minor conflicts, even if these guys are now legally renting Macau, but because of rent and other messy issues, there have been many conflicts. This time, he caught someone stealing Putuo Mountain, and he just justified taking people to prison.
But his purpose was not to sweep the Portuguese out, but to find out what was going on with the Portuguese trade. If he remembers correctly, on the tiny island of Macau, the transaction amount is definitely not a small amount! Because once Chinese porcelain and silk are transported to Portugal and other parts of Europe, the money earned is more than several times higher than that of Chinese people going to Japan and the South and Western Oceans by sea boats, and of course, the risk on the road is also several times higher!
"Little official, these two Francophiles came on Zhang Gongzi's boat."
Such a sentence can be regarded as completely shattering Wang Fulin's idea of kidnapping people. What kind of joke, he casually gave Zhang Tai a little stumbling, it was called harmless, and it would not alarm Zhang Siwei behind him, but if he released the news that Zhang Siwei's eldest son took the Buddha Lang to Putuo Mountain, this is called going directly to the pit Zhang Siwei, and it may not be known whether the pit can be successful. Moreover, these two people can be regarded as Zhengda Guangming appearing on the island today, if it is related to Zhang Taizheng, they must have dredged up all levels of relationships behind it. Do you want to test that Zhang Gongzi? Always know what the other person is thinking, then it is easy to handy.
"Brother, what do you want?"
After instructing a few hard-working dart masters to rest, Wang Fulin began to ponder. When he came back to his senses at this moment, he saw that Wang Xiaomei was shaking desperately in front of his eyes with his hand, so he said perfunctorily as if nothing happened: "Just be in a daze." What's the matter, don't you go back to your room so late? ”
"Brother, my second sister and I miss our father and mother." Wang Xiaomei glanced at Wang Erniang, and then squatted down beside Wang Fulin, "Brother, it's been a year since my mother was gone, and I came to such a letter, let's go back to Hankou to see them, okay?" ”
Seeing that Wang Erniang didn't say anything, but her eyes were boneless, Wang Fulin suddenly felt funny. I used to be honest when I was at home, but as soon as I went out this time, I took the thoughts of the two little girls into the wild. However, he dared to take someone out before, it was because he opened up the joints in Hangzhou, and several acquaintances could cover it, and this time in Ningbo, the Ye family is always the head snake, even if there is civil strife, it can also be solved with the help of internal and external forces. However, Hankou is different, Huguang's one-acre and three-point land, especially Hankou as an important place for Huaiyan to the north, it is said that there are all kinds of fights and messy things, how can he take his sister there?
"I know, when I go back to Ningbo, I'll go to Hankou, and you guys will stay at home honestly." Wang Fulin didn't wait for his two sisters to pout, and said in an unquestionable tone, "If you are obedient, I will take you to other places to play when I go back, otherwise I will stay at home and not go anywhere in the future!" ”
Wang Erniang was about to fight for it one last time, but she didn't want someone outside to knock lightly on the door, but it was Ah Heng's voice: "Little official, that Zhang Gongzi is here, saying that he is looking for you to drink and admire the moon." ”
Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were dumbfounded. Drink? Still admiring the moon? When did my brother have such a good relationship with that Zhang Taizheng? (To be continued......)
