Chapter 214: The Conventional Thinking of an Indian Woman
Strictly speaking, there is no love between Sara and Zhao Hongyu, at best, there is a relationship after a snap.
At the same time, Sara is still valuable to Zhao Hongyu, because Sara is the nominal owner of Quebec. For Zhao Hongyu, he can use Sarah's name to legally and justifiably enter Quebec and occupy the land there.
As for Sarah, she's desperate now, and there are people everywhere who want her to die.
Therefore, she has no one to rely on, and now she can only rely on this person who has a relationship with her and is willing to let herself rely on and help her.
Although there is a lot of difference between the two in age, under the entanglement of many reasons, the issue of age can be ignored at all.
However, for Sarah, there is still a question to consider in front of her, that is, how to avoid Zhao Hongyu's little wife not objecting?
Compared to herself, Emma is the real queen.
Behind the little girl, she has the support of the whole of Manhattan and more than 100,000 Indians.
In Europe, a person with a population of 100,000 is also a big nobleman, or even a king of a small country.
And now she is just the widow of an empty earl who has inherited the name of the husband of the dead ghost.
Thinking of this, Sara is not surprised to feel a little uneasy.
Because she doesn't have the confidence.
Besides, even if she is now in control of Quebec, it is not as good as Emma.
As an aristocrat, she had a lot to think about.
And their own orders, those below may not all follow them.
But Emma is different.
When she gave her an order, the Indians of Manhattan would follow it to the death.
This is the difference between 'Ming' and 'barbarism'.
Of course, what Sara didn't know was that Emma's order had to be in conflict with Zhao Hongyu's order. In fact, Zhao Hongyu's words are much better than Emma in Manhattan.
Emma, however, represents the interests of the Indians.
In other words, if Zhao Hongyu offends Emma, then he offends the Indians of Manhattan in disguise.
After all. Emma is the mascot of the Manhattan Indians and the guarantee of their integration into the Empire.
The eyes of the Indians were all on Emma.
They just want to see if Zhao Hongyu treats Emma well or not.
It can also be inferred from this whether Zhao Hongyu will be very good to themselves.
In fact, this approach is very unreasonable.
But the Indians believe this, and Zhao Hongyu has no choice.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu discussed with Wang Shan and them. Didn't you still marry Emma and be your own queen?
It is precisely because of marrying Emma that the Indians in Manhattan were able to accept the Song Empire very leniently, and let down their guard and integrated into the empire as citizens.
Of course, there are some reasons for this, but Emma's existence is the most indispensable.
On the contrary, look at Sarah, she doesn't have the status of Emma.
Because the thinking mode of Europeans is different from that of Indians, even if Sara marries Zhao Hongyu, it will only allow Zhao Hongyu to enter Quebec and have a legal identity.
As for getting those French people in Quebec to accept the Empire, and even making them citizens of the Empire.
It will be up to them to see what benefits the empire can bring them.
Today's Europeans, that is definitely the existence of nǎi is Niang.
Who will be able to give them enough benefits. Then they will be able to give their lives to whomever they want.
Any country and emperor, it is absolutely for them to go to hell.
As long as you can make them earn more wealth. Then they will be able to sell your life to you.
No matter how nice you say, if you can't bring them benefits, these Europeans won't approve of you.
Zhao Hongyu, as a person of later generations, is very clear about this.
"Yu, I don't understand a word of what you're talking about."
Seeing Zhao Hongyu and Emma, you say a word to me. The conversation was very engaging, and Sara couldn't help but interject and asked in a small voice.
Because she's so worried.
As soon as Sara interjected, the conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Emma came to an abrupt end.
Ahem!
Zhao Hongyu coughed. Then he turned to look at Sara and stopped.
He wondered if he could translate Emma's words to Sarah.
As for Zhao Hongyu, he also wants to see if Sara has any benefits.
It's not that Zhao Hongyi is greedy, it's just that since he wants to embark on this road, then he is despicable and shameless anyway, so it would be better to be more despicable and shameless.
When you become a female cousin, you have to set up a memorial arch, Zhao Hongyu can't do this.
Emma deliberately put on a small face, put away her earlier smiling face, and pretended to be a very dignified wife.
It's a pity that she can't pretend to be like it no matter how she pretends to be.
If it were another woman, Emma wouldn't be able to bluff people at all.
It's just that Sara is now without a master, and she's still a little apprehensive.
Therefore, Sara was really frightened by the little guy.
With a straight face, he secretly glanced at Sara, and saw that she was bluffed by herself. Emma couldn't stop snickering in her heart, in her opinion, the other party's dowry must be more.
Ha Lu Ha!
I must think about myself now, and I must think about myself and Zhao Hongyu's children in the future.
My man is so capable, I think that my wealth will definitely increase in the future, and more and more.
The little girl was jealous of Zhao Hongyu finding a new woman, and even had some joy in her heart.
The thinking of the Indians is really different from that of ordinary people.
However, if Sara didn't have a dowry, it is estimated that Emma would not have agreed so happily.
Because in the eyes of the Indians, if there is no dowry woman, it is better not to marry.
It's a loss-making business.
Therefore, if such a woman appears, Emma will definitely refuse.
At this point, Emma had already given Zhao Hongyu a preventive shot just now, which reminded him.
"Is it because your wife doesn't approve of us being together?" Sara asked in a nervous whisper. "If it's really difficult, then please tell your wife that you and I are only lovers. I don't need a name, I won't fight her or anything. ”
Before Zhao Hongyu could reply, Sara said to herself in a very discouraged manner.
Because in Sarah's opinion, there will never be a woman who wants to share a man with another woman, at least if she encounters it, she will never agree.
Because Sarah's dead husband likes to mess with flowers outside, and he has quarreled with him many times about it.
It's no surprise that Sara thinks so.
It's just that. What Sara doesn't understand is that the thinking and rules of the Indians are fundamentally different from the mainstream rules in the world.
Therefore, as soon as Sara opened her mouth, Emma kept giving Zhao Hongyu a look, which meant that it was like asking Zhao Hongyu again, 'What is this woman talking about?' 'means.
Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly and translated Sara's words to Emma.
He didn't hide it at all, and translated the full meaning word for word.
"Tell her not to think about it, I don't have anything to worry about here. For her sake, for the sake of her dowry, I will not object to you, if she wants a higher status. Then the dowry will be more. Because if you want to find a woman later, and the dowry is more than hers. Then her status will be lowered. ”
Emma's meaning is very simple, that is, she will speak to whoever gives more benefits to the backward woman.
This is simply an unreasonable idea of a petty wealth fan.
However, Zhao Hongyu also wanted to know what kind of reaction Sara would have when she heard Emma's words and knew what she meant.
With such a thought in mind, Zhao Hongyu said to Sara: "Don't think about it. My wife is a good talker. She didn't object to us being together, and besides, didn't you bring so much dowry? ", subsequently. Zhao Hongyu conveyed Emma's meaning to Sara as it was.
Sara opened her mouth, and she couldn't close it in surprise.
Sure enough, it wasn't bad at all with what she guessed, and Sara was really stupid when she heard the meaning of what Emma said.
Don't talk about Sarah, why didn't I react like this just now.
Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
And Sarah's heart at this moment is turning up a monstrous wave.
What's the matter, isn't this little girl jealous at all?
Sara thought it was incredible, because she had never met such a person and had never accepted such a concept.
The thinking of the Indians is really not something that ordinary people can understand.
"You don't have to worry about yourself now, in fact, as long as you have enough dowry, then the matter between us is simply a minor problem. And my wife told me to tell you that if you could come up with more dowry, then she would be better for you. ”
Zhao Hongyu said to Sara with a wry smile.
"I really don't understand, why do you have such rules." After Zhao Hongyu spoke, Sara slowly came back to her senses and responded to him in disbelief.
"Our tribe doesn't have such rules, but the Indians in Manhattan have such rules, so please respect this rule, after all, it's related to whether your future rì is good or not, right?"
Sara nodded: "After my husband died, I inherited the title of Count Samuel, as well as the territory of Quebec. In Spain, near the city of Madrid, there is also a small plot of land and an estate that I can give to the queen as a gift. ”
After Sara repurchased Shen'er, she immediately offered a price.
Anyway, for her, she is now a precarious person, and there is nothing she can't give.
And that little estate and land in Europe were nothing to her.
Even if the land in Quebec was given to Emma 30%, and the rest of the taxes and garrison rights belonged to Zhao Hongyu, she got a lot of the same.
At least it's better than it is now.
So, Sara thought very clearly.
