Chapter 1: Lady Jeanne

The steamer "Lady Jenny" slowly drew a white line on the blue sea with black smoke.

Ye Zhao stood by the railing of the ship, holding a cigar, he hadn't smoked for a long time, he didn't want to be addicted to smoking in this world again, but this time he passed through Shanghai, but he couldn't resist the temptation of lawyer Hall, and took a few boxes of cigars produced by Citigroup.

Naturally, to go to Guangzhou is by sea, and on land, the Taiping Northern Expeditionary Army is fighting with Seng Lingqin in Tianjin, and further north, it is even more thieves like hair, Ye Zhao, who dragged his family with his mouth, is really not safe.

This time, several slaves and guards such as Bakshi brought their families, Ye Zhao and Rong'er also brought the four handmaidens of auspicious fortune and treasure, and the fortune and treasure were naturally changed by Ye Zhao.

The Lady Jenny, which was originally a passenger and cargo ship that regularly traveled to and from Hong Kong and Shanghai, could get on a ship of distinguished Chinese and extra silver, so she was naturally happy to stop in Guangzhou on the way.

During his stay in Shanghai, Ye Zhao met with Hall, Huang Wenxiu, and Su Boss respectively, and informed the three of them that they had gone to Guangzhou.

But there is no news of the mob breaking the city in Guangxi, Ye Zhao is a little relieved, you must know that Su Hongniang relies on the current armament, as long as he gives some time to make his subordinates familiar with the magic of firearms, it is really easy to conquer several state capitals in Guangxi, but the evil consequences brought by that are also significant, the Qing army must regard it as a big disaster and try its best to eradicate it, what is Su Hongniang doing now? In the silent development of the rural revolutionary base areas? Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

Turning his head, Ye Zhao found that Rong'er didn't know when she was standing beside her, the moon-white peony embroidered with silver silk peony small cheongsam, the embroidery was extremely exquisite, the two blooming peonies at the placket were looming, very beautiful, with that pair of cute little flower shoes, the little guy was a beautiful mess.

"Tired of the boat, right?" Seeing her cuteness, Ye Zhao couldn't help but rub her little head, the little guy was depressed, and it was hard to say anything.

Nowadays, passenger and cargo ships from all over the world between Shanghai and Hong Kong are mainly carrying cargo, and the cabins are extremely simple, but this Madame Jeanne is still in good condition, and some steamers simply set up bunks to carry passengers in the deck passage.

Despite this, Ye Zhao also knew that it must be hard for this little guy, the sea was bumpy, the cabin was hot and humid, fortunately, it only took seven or eight days to get to Guangzhou.

Da Da, just as the "husband and wife" looked at the distant sea view, the sound of footsteps, came a young Western woman wearing a white gauze skirt, blonde hair and blue eyes are still too eye-catching, but if you look closely, your face is full of freckles, if you have one or two freckles, you can describe it as cute, and you have to be all over your face, but it is a little disgusting.

Ye Zhao knew her, and when she got on the boat, she talked to her husband Mr. William, although William's words were unknown, Ye Zhao also understood, the newlyweds estimated that they would not be able to mix in the British mainland, and they came to the Qing Kingdom with the help of the Oriental Gold Rush, hoping that they could turn over in the East.

The cabin planning of the Madame Jenny is still neat, Ye Zhao told the captain Mr. Smith, and chartered the area near the side of the east ship, and the sailors and passengers on the ship are not allowed to approach, Smith knows the rules of the East, and the female relatives are not easy to see people, and took a lot of silver dollars, so he readily agreed.

Miss Freckles Rose originally wanted to come here with her husband William to bask in the sun, but William was stopped halfway through, but she was so good that Mr. Smith arranged for the sailors who helped the "distinguished guests of the Qing Kingdom" clear the field before letting her come over.

"Hello, Ye." Miss Ross stretched out her hand, thinking that Ye Zhao would kiss her.

In fact, when the two first met Miss Ross when they first boarded the ship, they were arrogant, and they were disdainful of the men in this pigtailed country, but later Ye Zhao chatted with William in fluent English, Miss Ross's surprised eyes almost fell out, and then when she saw Ye Zhao's entourage respectful to him, Miss Rose knew that this Mr. Ye must be a nobleman in the East, and her attitude immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

Now he took the initiative to stretch out his little hand, waiting for Ye Zhao's kiss gift.

To say that although Miss Ross is a little more beautiful and her character is not good, but the lady takes the initiative to reach out, Ye Zhao will deal with her for the sake of gentlemanly demeanor, but Rong'er is by her side, if she kisses herself, in Rong'er's eyes, she will definitely flirt with a Western woman, not to mention the immorality, the little guy is afraid that he will mumble in his heart that he is lustful and shameless, which is completely different from three wives and four concubines.

It was Ye Zhao who just smiled "hi" and said, "Miss Ross is also very interested." ”

Stretching out her hand awkwardly, seeing that Ye Zhao didn't mean to hold her hand, Miss Rose couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but soon smiled, and stroked the bent blonde hair that was blown by the wind, "Ye, the sea is beautiful, right?" ”

Although the more she is like this, the more inferior her character is, because she didn't know how arrogant she was when she first saw Ye Zhao before, but now she touched her nose and called Ye Zhao "Ye" affectionately.

But Ye Zhao, how can these flowers and plants care about their own attitudes, if they take this kind of thing to heart, they will really become a marketman. In the final analysis, Ye Zhao was very good and successful in his previous life, an orphan, relying on his own efforts, he was admitted to Cambridge University with a full scholarship, worked hard to study knowledge, and gradually became famous in his professional field, and was quite valued by professors, if it wasn't for his untimely death, I don't know what Ye Zhao would have achieved.

And although this life has changed its way of life, it is no longer the previous life that tightened the string to pursue dreams, but the lazy and lazy way to get by, but the pride in the bones will not change.

What is Miss Ross's character and how she treats herself, Ye Zhaoruo is very aggressive.

It was Ye Zhao who chatted with her with or without a match, but Miss Rose's next action made Ye Zhao frown, she actually squeezed between Ye Zhao and Rong'er, and squeezed Rong'er, who had been quietly watching the sea view.

Rong'er raised her head and looked at this woman strangely, but she was a barbarian woman who didn't know how to be polite, so she was careful when she talked about her. Xianggong likes to talk to her, so talk to her.

Rong'er was about to say goodbye to Xianggong and go back to the room, but she didn't want to see Xianggong frowning and stretching out his arm, so he blocked the barbarian woman, grabbed his little arm and dragged him to his side.

Although Xianggong's actions obviously still treat him as a child, Rong'er is a little happy, it turns out that Xianggong still spoils himself.

"Miss Rose, it's windy, please come back!" Ye Zhao gave an eviction order, although Rong'er didn't know what Xianggong was talking about, but when she saw the barbarian woman turning around and leaving, she knew that Xianggong drove her away, and she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart.

But Ye Zhao's next action of pinching her little face made Rong'er depressed and discouraged again, why do you always treat people as children?
