Chapter 409: Weng Son-in-law (Please support the genuine version!) )
From the pier on Manhattan Island, it's not a very long journey to the estate of my father-in-law, Black Bear.
Therefore, during the chat, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan arrived at the manor.
Wang Shan took out a few fine copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the coachman.
Today, the economic system here in Manhattan is no longer so homogeneous.
As a supplementary currency, copper coins have also begun to make their official debut.
After all, it's not enough to have a big or small dragon ocean, and some low-value goods also need some small denomination coins to buy.
When Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan came to the manor, they happened to encounter a black bear who was directing the servants to clean up.
He had heard that this year was a kind of festival that only the 'ancestors' would celebrate, and that it was a solemn time of the year, so he was very cautious about this festival.
Here in Manhattan, the Indians have begun to accept that they have the same 'ancestor' as Zhao Hongyu.
After all, those little children are in school, and what they learn is this kind of brainwashing education.
And those children are back home, and they will affect their parents.
Under the influence of such a passenger, the Indians will slowly change their attitudes.
Besides, the things that the teachers in the school said can be regarded as standing up to scrutiny.
Because we all have the same 'ancestor', the Indians of the empire are going to start over and forget the kind of festival that is forgotten now.
According to the legend in Manhattan, the Indians came to the American continent by accident a long, long time ago because of some special circumstances or war.
However, their means of transport were destroyed, which prevented them from returning to their hometowns.
In this way, they had to stay in this land and start to multiply, but they forgot their ancestors and the glory of civilization.
The 'ancestors' of the Indians in the East were Yin Shang, which was an identity that Zhao Hongyu placed for them.
This saying that 'everyone is from the East' can make the Indians and Zhao Hongyu them. Psychologically create a sense of closeness.
It is precisely with this situation in mind that the intelligence department under Wang Shan will start this kind of brainwashing education on campus.
At the same time, there are many intelligence officers who will consciously or unconsciously bring the topic in this direction when chatting with the Indians, and then discuss with the Indians.
As the so-called dripping water pierces the stone, it will work for a long time.
Today, the Indians living in Manhattan have begun to accept this kind of statement and concept.
Especially the children of the Indians. They are the ones who accept it most thoroughly and believe in it the most.
They are very fond of the revised version of the 'Romance of the Gods' taught in the school, because their 'motherland' exists in this mythological story.
Although the ending is not very good, this does not prevent these children from enjoying the story.
"Go over there and sweep the snow away. You take someone to rest the road outside, this is about to be the New Year, I heard that there is also a sacrifice to the ancestors, the house has to be cleaned well. ”
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan walked into the manor and saw the black bear standing in the snow that had been cleared. In the garden where the clean ground is exposed, the servants are turning around with a loud voice.
Not far away, Zhao Hongyu's mother-in-law was surrounded by several maids, standing there watching her man laugh and groan.
The clothes on the mother-in-law are typical of the Northeast clothing before the liberation of China in later generations.
Black padded jacket. Bloomers, cotton shoes, hands in the sleeves, if you don't look at the mother-in-law's face. Zhao Hongyu thought she was from the northeast.
His father-in-law, the black bear, wears an otter skin hat and a black coarse cotton coat. He wears a tiger skin coat on the outside, bloomers and trouser cuffs with trousers tucked in, and a pair of tiger skin boots and a brass buckle belt around his waist......
Zhao Hongyu was in a trance, and almost blurted out a more classic sentence.
The King of Heaven covers the tiger!
Yes, Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law's black bear is dressed too much like Yang Zirong's dress in the 'Lin Hai Snow Plain'.
This couple, dressed up like this, really has a strong style in the Northeast before liberation.
The tiger skin on his body was purchased from a Dutch merchant, and the Dutch merchant's tiger skin was obtained from India.
"Master, lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."
The black slave butler of the black bear has become a 'black skin, yellow heart' guy, his eyes are very sharp, he saw Zhao Hongyu at once, and immediately reminded the black bear.
For his father-in-law, the housekeeper, Zhao Hongyu really didn't know whether to praise him or despise him, it was because he knew him too well that Zhao Hongyu couldn't describe him in words after getting the most embarrassing.
He is also a black man, and he is also a black slave who was trafficked to the Americas, and he was just picked out to be a small steward because he was lucky.
But he is in management, and he is cruel to his own reporters, but anyone who wants to escape will be reported by him, and even suppressed by him on the spot.
It was with this means that this guy stepped into the eyes of the black bear step by step, and finally became the steward of the black bear.
After becoming a steward, he was also loyal to the black bear, but he became more cruel to his compatriots.
Zhao Hongyu still remembers that half a year ago, a black slave escaped.
He was a guest at his father-in-law's place, and the black butler personally executed the fugitive slaves, including those from his hometown.
But this guy was stunned and didn't blink his eyes.
It can be seen that his cruelty is not ordinary.
At the same time, the black slaves selected by the black bear to work on the manor belonged to the kind of people who were obedient or had the same personality as the black housekeeper.
Zhao Hongyu understands very well, these guys have gone through inhuman tribulations, and it is estimated that their hearts have long been distorted.
Now, in order to live, they have to imagine or hypnotize themselves as 'people' like the Indians. And then ignore the fact that you are black.
It's like the 'banana people' in the United States in later generations.
And there is nothing surprising that the situation abounded in the history of the American colonies, such as that of the father-in-law, a black housekeeper.
Zhao Hongyu still remembers that even an American blockbuster he watched in later generations also had a description of this.
A black housekeeper, doing things for white people, is very cruel to his fellow black people. Not sympathetic at all, even contemptuous.
But to his white master, the black butler was very loyal.
Even his thinking has moved away from the African way and has become the same as that of a white man.
Now the black housekeeper next to his father-in-law, Black Bear, is such a situation.
The black bear turned around and saw Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan walking towards this side from the gate of the manor, without a large number of guards by their side.
The black bear didn't care about directing those servants to do things, he hurriedly walked towards Zhao Hongyu, and opened his arms to greet loudly as he walked.
"Ha Luha, my powerful son-in-law. Do you think of me as an old man? ”
And Zhao Hongyu's mother-in-law, accompanied by the maid, walked unhurriedly and slowly.
He hugged his father-in-law vigorously, and then let go of a step back.
"Father-in-law's body is still so strong, you are not old at all."
Yes, the black bear is only in his forties, and how can he be old in the prime of life in the future.
However, Zhao Hongyu also knew that it was not without reason that the black bear said this.
In the early days, the Indians had a difficult life and had to fight with various animals in natural relics. So very few of them lived past the age of fifty.
There are also very few people in their forties, so this age can basically be called an old man.
You must know that in this era, life is far from being as easy as in later generations.
Later generations are full of sixty or seventy-year-old people in the city. But in this day and age, that is impossible.
In this era, whether it is China or Europe, the basic life expectancy is about 50 years old.
Huaxia may be a little higher, but not much higher.
Mainly, this has to do with the living environment. The standard of living, as well as the material base and medical conditions, are closely related.
Especially in the winter, there are Indians in Europe and the East and the Americas. There will be mass deaths.
Winter is terrible for people of this era.
But now it is different, since Zhao Hongyu came to the American continent and met the Mohicans, the life of the Mohicans began to change dramatically.
In just one and a half years, the black bear and his people have gotten rid of the predicament of living in tents and not daring to go out in winter.
And no more hunger due to food shortages in the winter.
Life is good, the pressure is gone, the material is also rich, and the most obvious change is that the black bear still looks a lot younger, even the mother-in-law is like this.
It seems that the stress of life does make people age quickly.
"Father-in-law, you still have a job, at least another forty years will have no problem."
Zhao Hongyu said something, and the black bear Ha Lu laughed.
No one doesn't like to hear people say that they are young and can live a long time.
Black bears like it too.
So, he laughed happily.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu's mother-in-law came over, and she stood behind her husband and nodded slightly at Zhao Hongyu.
"Wow, my mother-in-law seems to be getting younger and more beautiful, and the skin on her face is shiny."
Zhao Hongyu's eyes widened and he praised it a little exaggeratedly.
However, what Zhao Hongyu said is not entirely false, because now his mother-in-law does look much younger than before, and at the same time she has become much more beautiful.
Such a change is huge, so it is no wonder that Zhao Hongyu is amazed.
was praised by Zhao Hongyu like this, and her mother-in-law was a little embarrassed.
"Are you here to visit us, or is there something wrong? I know you kid too well, you won't come if you have nothing to do. ”
Black Bear's Mandarin is becoming more and more standard, which shows that he has studied very hard. (To be continued.) )
