Then everyone dropped their glasses and followed the "princess" to the deck, in addition to the captain and the two black slaves at the door, there were actually many maids, servants, and cooks and other service personnel, more than 30 people!
"Damn, there are so many people, where can our rubber boat be carried."
Huang Xiaodong's face was full of helplessness, and Tang Jian had no choice but to say:
"Bring the captain and the woman back first, and let the rest of them row their own sampans to pick them up."
When it came to getting the noble "princess" into the dinghy, she ran into trouble again, and the large dress she wore was too bulky to climb the rope ladder. And she refused anyone's help except her own maid, and as a result, she couldn't get off after tossing for a long time.
If those ordinary foreigners dared to make such trouble before, they would probably have kicked people into the water a long time ago, and it would be a big deal to fish them up again. But in the face of such a cowardly young lady, whether she is a real princess or not, the traversers still have to retain some gentlemanly demeanor more or less. In the end, it was Pang Yu's idea: find a big bamboo basket and invite you into the urn, and then slowly hang it off the boat with a rope......
Just as the troubled princess was about to step into the hanging basket, the old American doctor Jack suddenly appeared out of nowhere. This guy still didn't follow everyone just now, and he didn't know where to visit.
But at this time, Jack looked like a gentleman, speaking a very authentic London accent. Bending slightly in a half-bow posture, the most important thing is that the smile on his face is really bright.
Miss Anna looked up in amazement, and then she was stunned, and had to say, as a foreign man. Old Jack does have a talent for attracting women: he is more than 1.90 meters tall and has a handsome face. Moreover, as a citizen of the world's most powerful country, this guy is born with a sense of self-confidence and arrogance, and compared to most ordinary people in this era, he will definitely be regarded as an aristocratic temperament.
On the other hand, Old Jack is indeed an out-and-out good person, of course, it doesn't mean that he always receives good person cards. This American citizen is always helpful and does not ask for anything in return, which everyone has deeply experienced in nearly half a year of getting along, and he has won everyone's respect and admiration for it. I have to say that I know the etiquette in a hurry. In the United States, it is indeed much more fully reflected than at home.
So. At this moment, the smile on Jack's face is not only full of aristocratic firmness and confidence, but also completely free of the arrogance and domineering that the children of Western wealthy nobles in this period could not avoid. It can be said to be a kind of "humble and reasonable nobility", and when Julie quietly asked the Miss Anastasia why she was blushing at that time, the other party described how she felt at this time.
So Miss Anastasia, who had always put on a proud face in front of the Chinese, also made an unexpected move, and she actually bowed her head and curtsy to Jack. This action is obviously also practiced from a young age, and even in the eyes of this group of Chinese who do not understand Western traditional etiquette at all, it looks very pleasing to the eye and feels extremely elegant.
Her Royal Highness the princess can actually speak English, and although the tone is a little strange, the pronunciation is relatively clear. Then, she gently put her palm around Jack's arm that was reaching for her. As if stepping into the most noble and luxurious court ball, steadily enter the hanging basket.
As soon as the young lady sat in the dinghy, the big skirt almost filled the entire kayak. Then Captain Andrew sat at the stern of the boat, and there was only one vacant seat left on the rubber boat that could have sat a dozen people, except for Huang Xiaodong, who was at the helm. Of course, it's not impossible to squeeze in. But in this posture right now, who wants to spoil the scenery Tang Jian patted Old Jack on the shoulder:
"Go ahead, man, and keep an eye on her."
The other lads were joking good-naturedly. while pushing Old Jack towards the rope ladder. Jack didn't shirk either. And like an authentic Chinese, he threw his hands around in a group:
"Thanks, brothers. Come back and ask everyone to drink, I found a lot of them in the cabin! ”
Then Jack climbed down the rope ladder like a monkey and sat down to the only empty seat in the bow of the boat, just in time to face the princess Anna. The princess glanced at him quietly, and immediately looked away, and her face began to turn red again.
On the big ship, more than one person regretted that no one had a camera! You can't take pictures of the beautiful scenery of this moment. I believe that Old Jack will definitely be willing to pay a lot of money for such a photo!
"Grandma, this is the so-called Wang Ba looking at mung beans...... Now I know that Old Jack is the most powerful ...... in our group."
On the galleon, Lao Xie muttered to himself with a jealous expression, but after finding that Julie was glaring at him, this guy immediately changed his face:
"Ahem...... Bless them, bless ......"
Tang Jian walked over and found Pang Yu and Ling Ning, who were back in the tail cabin and were checking the contents of the cabin, frowned and asked:
"Do you think the woman is credible? What kind of French princess is she? "It's Italy."
Ling Ning corrected it casually, and at the same time picked up a painting to show Tang Jian:
"Look at this signature, it turned out to be a painting by Michelangelo! God, how much can this be sold for at a modern auction house? ”
"It's going to have to be millions......"
Although Tang Jian didn't know much about art, he had finally heard of Michelangelo's name, but his appraisal was unanimously ridiculed by the other two people in the cabin:
"Millions? I can't even buy a signature......"
"Is she really? How strong is this Duchy of Tuscany? Is it a threat to us? ”
Tang Jian is not interested in bothering them about this, no matter how valuable it is in modern society, it is just a piece of waste paper in this era. In contrast, he was more concerned with the ripple effects of capturing the "princess".
"It should be true, there seems to be no one in the West who dares to pretend to be an aristocrat these days, let alone a big family like the Medici...... Moreover, it is pointless for her to brag in front of us Orientals, and if we were not from the afterlife, it would be impossible to know what the so-called "Medici family" meant. ”
"As for the danger...... There was no threat to the Duchy of Tuscany to rule mainly over Florence, and only a few cities. Now in the seventeenth century, they have begun to decline. If I'm not mistaken, the current reigning Ferdinand II seems to be the last monarch of Tuscany...... The Medici family was able to leave a name in history more because of their funding and support for art and artists, so that as long as later generations mentioned the Renaissance and studied Western classical art, it was impossible not to mention this family. For example, this Michelangelo has always been sponsored by them, so it is not surprising to find his original work here. But ......"
Pang Yu frowned:
"I still can't figure out why she mixed up with the Dutch, it stands to reason that Catholics and Protestants should be mortal enemies, especially now that Europe is fighting a religious war for thirty years, and both sides will have to fight to the death for more than ten years."
"And with her identity, it's strange to travel all the way to Southeast Asia."
Ling Ning added next to him:
"In these years, long-distance navigation is not as comfortable as in later generations, and the probability of dying from scurvy is very high, especially in the journey from Africa around the Cape of Good Hope to India, often unable to land and rest for a month or two, even if she is a nobleman, she will also face a lack of water, lack of vitamins and other phenomena, and even because of physical problems, she is more likely to die than ordinary people."
"Is there a record of her in the history books?"
Tang Jian asked tentatively, but as expected, the two people on the other side shook their heads:
"No, not at all...... Of course, it may also be that we don't know much about this period of history, so we go back and ask Professor Li. ”
"That's right......"
Tang Jian pondered for a moment and nodded:
"In this way, the two of you will prepare, and when you go back, you two will be the main ones to negotiate with her, if Professor Li is also familiar with this history, even he will be counted."
"What is the purpose of the negotiations? What do we want from her? ”
Pang Yu asked casually, but Tang Jian, a person who has always been rigid, actually showed a wicked expression:
"I haven't thought about it yet, you are a staff officer, you have to think about it. All I know is that it would certainly be useful to capture such an important person. It's really not good, at least can we solve our personal problems for Comrade Jack. ”
