"Be careful, be careful! Don't break it, Svensson, Henry, handle it with care! ”

At the time when our great doctor Zhu was holding the tender hand of Countess Isabel and talking about his ideals in life, in the house of Madame Durand on Dover Street in London, the glamorous and charming French was standing in her bedroom, watching Bai Sven and the little French tailor Henry packing exquisite porcelain and glassware into boxes.

As the focus of his career shifted from London to Manchester, the house on Dover Street was idle. At the beginning of May, Zhu bought a villa on the outskirts of Manchester, named Villa Roman, for his own cohabitation with Lady Duran. Of course, the trivial things such as buying a house, decorating a love nest, and moving are all handled by Mrs. Duran, a "virtuous helper". Madame Duran had come back to London to move, but there wasn't much to move, just some clothes for her and Zhu Jishi, and some more expensive porcelain and glassware. As for the furniture in this house, it will not be moved to Manchester, and the house will be rented out with the storefront, and there will always be a rent of £150 a year, although it is not a large amount, but Mrs. Turan will not be afraid of money.

Henry and Bai Sven also came to help with the move, and the two of them are now the housekeepers of the Roman Villa and the Chinese chef of the Roman Villa...... Although this Bai Siwen is Zhu Jishi's compatriot and Guangdong countryman, he does not look like he is being used at all, and he also tutored Zhu Jishi's traditional Chinese characters a few days ago, and now he has become a simple subordinate.

This wandering European flag man is also a master who can bend and stretch, this slave is very diligent, can help in everything, and has a sweet mouth, following Mrs. Duran's ass Mrs. Long and Mrs. Short, as if she was Zhu Jishi's serious lady.

However, when getting along with Madame Duran, Bai Siwen did not forget to touch Zhu Jishi's old bottom - not curious, but William. Jardine gave him the task. He didn't follow William though. Jardine is a tuberculosis fool, but he doesn't dare to disobey Jardine completely. He knew William. How deep is Jardine's background and how big the financial resources are, if there is no Mr. Jardine's activities everywhere, most of the Sino-British war this time will not be able to be fought, so the foreign adults must not be offended.

But thinking of his current master, Zhu Jishi, Bai Siwen also felt a little unfathomable!

Fellow of the Royal Society and Fellow of the French Academy of Sciences...... These two errands are probably equivalent to the Hanlin of the Qing Dynasty, and one person has two Hanlins, and this knowledge must be great! also conferred the title of baron, uh, this second-class man equivalent to the Qing Dynasty, although it is not a great title, but I heard Mrs. Duran say that this title was named by the imperial husband of the British Empire! The emperor of the British Empire is a woman, what is Queen Victoria, this royal husband is equivalent to the queen, and they foreigners are monogamous, and the queen is no exception, there is only one husband. So the person that the royal husband likes will also be useful one day in the future, right? If you want to stay in the Qing Dynasty, sooner or later there will be a future of entering the cabinet, although the rules of England are very different, but you should not be too bad to follow such a master, but this master doesn't seem to be very happy to see himself, and it seems that he has to think about it.

When he was thinking wildly, he heard a crisp sound, which startled Bai Siwen, but fortunately it was not the porcelain in his hand that was broken, but the fault of Henry Heng's butler.

"Henry, be careful." Mrs. Duran just muttered, and said nothing.

"I'll come, I'll clean up." Bai Swen hurriedly put away the porcelain in his hand, and turned around to help Henry pick up the pieces on the ground. Zhu Jishi never cared about what kind of person this Henry was, but Bai Siwen found out a little truth from Mrs. Duran, that kid was the illegitimate son of Mrs. Duran's ex-husband, and he could be regarded as a half-young master.

When he was thinking about how to deal with the eldest young master Henry Heng, Bai Sven's hand was not idle, picking up the porcelain fragments in the field one by one and throwing them into a dustpan, when he suddenly heard Mrs. Duran shouting: "Svensson, this can't be thrown, this is Jason's treasure." Alas, this Jason always leaves things in a mess and throws them into the bottle like this, what if he loses it? ”

Baby? Bai Siwen looked down, uh, what he was holding in his hand was really a baby! This is a piece of jade, the texture is pure, the structure is fine, the water head is foot, the color is mutton fat white, oily and heavy, on haode Hetian mutton fat jade! Although Bai Siwen is not a big expert in jade, he still knows the basic doorway. When he was in Guangzhou, he was also wide, and there were a few pieces of haode mutton fat jade in his home, but compared with this piece of jade, it was not a little bit worse.

Look carefully, there is a dragon pattern carving on this piece of jade, and this jade carving is extremely delicate, it doesn't look like the craftsmanship of folk craftsmen, and there is a compilation character in a circle of dragon patterns, which seems to be a Xuan character. This jade has an extraordinary origin at first glance, and I don't know where Zhu Jishi got it?

Bai Siwen carefully handed the jade to Mrs. Duran with both hands, as if he had inadvertently asked in passing, "Madam, this stone was handed down by the ancestors, right?" ”

"Yes," Duran said with a smile as he put away the jade, "Jason's ancestors fled to the South Seas when the Tatars conquered China, and this stone was left by his ancestors." By the way, Svensson, isn't this stone precious in the East? ”

"Yes, yes, this kind of stone is called jade, and this piece of jade is the best in jade, known as mutton fat white jade, only high-ranking officials and nobles can have ......" Bai Siwen explained the jade to Mrs. Duran with a smile on his face, but guessed Zhu Jishi's life experience in his heart.

He knew that the Tatars in Duranfu's mouth meant the Manchus, and the Tatar conquest of China referred to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains. Zhu Jishi's ancestors ran away from China at that time, uh, Zhu Jishi's ancestors must also have the surname Zhu...... Or escaped when the Eight Banners entered the customs, and there is such a dragon-patterned jade pendant, could it be the descendant of the Ming Dynasty?

If you can still return to China, find someone who understands the history of the Ming Dynasty and ask.

Bai Siwen's eyes turned and turned, after the Ming Dynasty, he was of course a criminal in the imperial court, if he could be arrested and sent to the general Yamen in Guangzhou, he would not only be exempted from the charge of colluding with Xiyi, but he might also be promoted to the third level! By the way, behind this Zhu Jishi is the imperial husband of the British Empire, Albert, but I don't know to what extent the two are colluding? Will Zhu Jishi accept the support of Britain to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, if this is the case, the trouble for the imperial court will be a bit big......
