Chapter 134: A Visitor from the Far East (2)
Moravia is not the first Western city that Song Qimei has ever seen, and the newly built castle is not Song Qimei's first aristocratic residence, but a nobleman like Ernst is honest, and Song Qimei is really the first time he has seen it. The first meeting with Ernst was on the golf course of the gymnasium, a sport that Song Qimei had seen in northern France, but it was the first time he had met with a Western aristocrat in such a place.
Touch!
The violent collision of the cue stick with the ball sent the white ball flying high and then ...... Cosimo couldn't help but turn his face, every time Ernst met a guest on the golf course, he couldn't bear to look at it, it was really his master's skills that were quite poor.
Ernst naturally knew very well whether the ball had gone into the hole, but his face did not show the slightest embarrassment and embarrassment, haha smiled and turned around to shake hands with Song Qimei.
"Although I haven't been to that ancient country, there are a lot of East Asian citizens in Moravia, and you may have seen that there are a lot of Oriental shops in Moravia. Oriental food is very good, I usually like to taste it, if we are not used to Western food, we can taste Chinese food. β
With a white shirt and black sunglasses, Song Qimei looks a little cramped in the face of a somewhat cool teenager, after all, his status is generally difficult to talk to a nobleman of Ernst's level, especially in the face of such a casual and unruly young nobleman.
"The Western food is also very good, and the Earl's Chinese is very good."
Song Qimei's praise made Ernst look very happy, and said with a slight smile while leading the way: "I like the history of your country more, and I also learned Chinese from the Han people living here. If you like Western food, then we will set it as Western food, but I have to envy you, you can taste pure Chinese food every day. β
How should Song Qimei answer Ernst's words? He could only smile a little awkwardly and followed Ernst all the way to the Mercedes Benz.
"Actually, I like to drive myself, but the situation in Europe is ...... Even I guess they won't agree, there's no way to make me not an ordinary rich kid. β
Shrugging his shoulders, Ernst slightly expressed his displeasure to Cosimo in front of him, but Cosimo had habitually ignored Ernst's frequent complaints.
"Mr. Cosimo is also for your health, you are the concubine of His Royal Highness the Venerable Grand Duke Ferdinand, naturally you cannot be compared with those ordinary rich children."
Ernst was very unaccustomed to the kind words, and to be honest, it was a pleasure to see Ernst today, an elite man from that ancient country, and even a little kind, but ......
"You're a little restrained, I don't like the look of my friend, you should relax, if you satisfy me, I'll give you a gift when I leave, a gift that surprises you."
Song Qimei is naturally very curious about the gift in Ernst's mouth, but he doesn't expect too much, the gifts that surprise you in the mouth of the West are generally not expensive but really surprise you unexpectedly, so now Song Qimei just hopes that the gift will not scare herself.
Song Qimei could only promise to Ernst's dissatisfaction, and when she saw this, Ernst could only shake her head in disappointment and ignore it, and the group came to Ernst's new castle.
The new castle is located on the edge of the city, behind the Morava River, the clean and clear turquoise water surface of the Morava River is very beautiful, even Song Qimei, who was born in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, can't help but sigh a little along the way, after all, this is completely different from the soft beauty of the East.
Woohoo!
As if smelling their master, the dogs on patrol by the guards abandoned their human companions, and followed the vehicle towards the entrance of the castle. Shouts and reprimands were heard from time to time, but for the dogs, these were not reasons for them to abandon their owners to go on boring patrols, and the guards had no choice but to patrol on their own and let the dogs bounce and wait for Ernst to get out of the car.
"The little one likes me better."
Explained to Song Qimei, who was a little frightened, and then Ernst motioned to Cosimo to get out of the car to deal with it, they are all fierce dogs like Bit, if they hurt the guest Ernst's reputation, wouldn't it be ruined? Seeing the dogs being taken away, Song Qimei remembered that Ernst had explained to herself just now, and reluctantly smiled to say that it didn't matter.
Maria had already received the news that she was half the mistress of the castle and she came to the door very quickly to greet her, regardless of the identity of the guest, since she came here to greet the master as a host, it was a must to do, the elegance of the nobility and the gentleman were not obtained in vain.
"This is my fiancΓ©e, Maria, the third daughter of Emperor Nicholas, you may also call her Archduchess Maria. This is Song Qimei from Shanghai, a very capable businessman. β
Maria didn't care about Song Qimei's identity as a businessman, she just repeated with some curiosity: "Shanghai? β
The mellow and strange tone made Ernst can't help but think of the foreign teacher he had met in his previous life, and nodded lightly: "That's right, it is Shanghai, the most prosperous and wealthy city in East Asia. β
The rich still have a relatively high status in Western countries, although they are still far from being comparable with a big nobleman like Ernst, but this is enough to give some respect, Maria bowed elegantly, and Song Qimei hurriedly returned the salute.
"This is my butler Bert, everything here is taken care of by him, Song's servants are all arranged!"
Just now, Song Qimei went to the gymnasium to meet with Ernst, because Ernst had agreed to meet Song Qimei before, and at this time his servant had already arrived at the new castle in advance, and the person in charge of arranging it was naturally Bert.
As the saying goes, the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door, for the earl butler of the second son of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, Song Qimei did not dare to be sloppy and hurriedly bent down to express friendship, Bert also has a good impression of the East, especially Song Qimei and his servants are humble, which makes Bert very polite.
"Song wants to taste Western food, you let Madame Beyolai do it herself! She hasn't made her own food in years, and I'm sure she would love to show off her cooking skills. β
Many of the guards who had followed Ernst in those years were over 40 years old, and they no longer served as patrols and guards, and their main work began to change to training and commanding, which was also a reward for their years of hard work, and Madame Beullay was naturally the same.
There are 15 chefs in the new castle, including 5 chefs and 10 assistants, and Madame Beoulay is naturally the head of the kitchen, and she has not worked with her own chef for a long time because of Ernst's preference for oriental cuisine. This time, Song Qimei's arrival, because of his casual words, made Mrs. Beulai look very happy.
Bert was a little worried, after all, Mrs. Beyolai hadn't done it for a long time, and although Song Qimei was not a distinguished guest, for a housekeeper like Bert, it was his duty to serve him thoroughly.
"Questions?"
Seeing that Bert was a little hesitant and Ernst was slightly dissatisfied, after thinking about it, Bert still decided not to say more, after all, she was an old cook who had served Ernst for many years, even if Mrs. Beullet had not touched it for many years, but I believe it was not much worse.
Bert left Maria but still sat there, she was still a little interested in Song Qimei, especially a handsome middle-aged guy like Song Qimei. Of course, Maria didn't have anything else on her mind, she just wanted to know more about the Orient.
After this period of time together, Ernst found that one of Maria's shortcomings, or not called shortcomings, is that she is a bit of a nymphomaniac, she always likes to look at handsome guys a few times, and she even wants to talk to each other if she can, but this does not mean that she is a more open girl.
Most people like beautiful creatures, these just like a bigger desire that is difficult for them to control, what they want to do is just talk, look twice and appreciate it.
Song Qimei is very talkative, which is normal, after all, it is difficult for a person who is not talkative to achieve such a fortune, and communication is a very important thing for businessmen.
Since the beginning of Shanghai's economic beauty, Song Qimei even talked about those churches and foreigners in Shanghai, of course, at this time, the foreigners in his mouth are all real priests who are benevolent and sympathetic to the world, and most of the local residents of Shanghai are devout believers, and the relationship between the two sides is very harmonious.
Although Ernst felt very harsh, he could only tolerate it temporarily when he saw that Maria was very interested, but he also hoped that Song Qimei would not tell too much falsehood, even if it was the favorite story of the little girls.
