This busy time has passed quickly, and it is the fifth day of the new year in a blink of an eye. Jia Yun set off for Jiaodong early in the morning, thinking that he would come back after the Shangyuan Festival, but who knew that he would take people back to the capital on the ninth day of the first month.

Xing Shuang asked Jia Yun to bring someone in through the corner gate and went to the small flower hall behind Rongxi Hall to reply. Because several sisters also wanted to know about their brother's situation, Xing Shuang specially asked people to set up a screen and let the girls hide behind the screen and listen.

Soon, someone brought him in, and it turned out to be a blonde young man. Because foreigners really can't tell by their age, Xing Shuang can only ask first, and he is only sixteen years old.

The young man's name was Benjamin, and his father was also a baron, and he was also a student at Cambridge, but later dropped out of school to help out in the middle of his family, so it is no wonder that he knows so much about Cambridge.

I heard that she was also a student of Cambridge, Xing Shuang's attitude was much better, and the other party was also young, so she had some care, so she asked people to bring out good snacks and tea to entertain.

After a while, Xing Shuang asked Benjamin about the opportunity to help bring the letter, Benjamin put down the tea bowl, stood up with a serious face, bowed to Xing Shuang and said: "When I came, my father repeatedly told me that when I saw my wife, I must thank you well." If it weren't for Lian's rescue this time, our family might have gone bankrupt. ”

Xing Shuang also became serious when he heard this, and solemnly accepted the salute, and then said to him with a smile: "Please don't be so polite, in Huaxia, it is the nature of our Chinese people to help each other." We call it righteousness, which is difficult to explain in English, but it basically means that friends never leave each other. ”

Benjamin's eyes moistened a little when he heard this, and he sat down again, and then he explained the reason.

It turned out that since Jia Lian passed, it caused a lot of turmoil in the local area because the furnishings in his home were all Chinese porcelain. Although people know that it is normal for Oriental people to use Oriental porcelain, those porcelains are sky-high prices in the UK, and Jia Lian has also become a symbol of strong background in people's hearts.

If you only reveal one hundred and two thousand taels of gold, there may be countless people who will beat your mind. But as soon as you show up, you will be rich and rival the country, and others will have to weigh the consequences if they want to beat your idea. Coupled with the care of Viscount Norton, Jia Lian became a famous mysterious Oriental nobleman in Cambridge Town as soon as he went to Cambridge Town. Everybody wants to make friends.

Benjamin was a baron in his family, and his status was somewhat higher than that of ordinary scholars. But there are not a few aristocrats in the West, and there are not a few poor jingle bells. Some nobles have empty titles, and their families are more downtrodden than commoners, and Benjamin's family is in this category.

Fortunately, because of the identity of Benjamin's family, those nobles still played with him more or less. So at a party, Benjamin met Jia Lian.

After a few back and forth, Jia Lian became familiar with Benjamin. In addition, Benjamin's previous nanny was Chinese, so Benjamin can speak some Chinese, and the relationship between the two is better.

On weekdays, Jia Lian would teach Benjamin to speak some Chinese, and Benjamin would also consolidate Jia Lian's English. The age difference between the two was not much, and they soon became a good pair.

But the good times didn't last long, just as the new semester was about to begin, news came from Benjamin's family that the family was about to go bankrupt and could no longer support his life in Cambridge, and asked him to go home to help make ends meet.

No matter how helpless Benjamin was, he could only drop out of school and go to Jia Lian to resign.

When Jia Lian heard about his family's situation, he wanted to go out to play under the pretext that school hadn't started yet, so he followed Benjamin home.

Hearing this, Xing Shuang almost understood. With the character of her eldest son, I am afraid that when she proposed to go to someone else's house to play, she made up her mind to help the other party. I have always been a person who loves to promote people, but I am afraid that Lian'er will also learn her own appearance, and she has taken a fancy to this Benjie's pure nature and is a good child, so she wants to help.

And he didn't shoot blindly, he had to go to the other party's house to see it first, find out the character of the other party's family members, and then decide whether to help.

Thinking that the eldest son has been so mature and steady, and kind-hearted, affectionate and righteous, Xing Shuang's heart is also very gratified.

Sure enough, in Benjamin's next narration, Jia Lian lived in his house for almost half a month before he had a secret talk with his father before leaving. After he left, his father excitedly called him to the study, told him about Jia Lian's funding of his family's business, and asked him to go out in person not to live up to Jia Lian's funding.

Benjamin didn't put his mind on reading in the first place, but the nobleman didn't go to Cambridge to study, so he was reluctantly sent to him by his family. And he originally wanted to wander everywhere, and now let him follow the caravan to China, he was almost 10,000 willing.

In addition, he had to help Jia Lian bring the letter, Benjamin wanted to see with his own eyes whether this elegant and righteous partner, his family was the same as him, so he agreed to his father's request almost in a second and set off with the goods.

"Lian has already done our family a great favor, but I didn't expect that when I first came to Huaxia, my wife did me a great favor. The wharf is really hateful, obviously the goods are more watery when they enter the water, we said that we want to release the water, but they insist on refusing to let it. If it weren't for Yun's help, I'm afraid that before I landed, I would have to lose a lot of money first. ”

Benjamin was really excited when he said this. He thought to himself again and again, sure enough, Lian is so elegant, and it has a lot to do with his family. This family, even his nephews, is just as polite as he is. His mother was even more noble and generous, and even went out to help her stranger.

When Xing Shuang heard this, she smiled and comforted Benjamin: "Since you are Lian'er's friend, that is my son and nephew, you are here, I don't take care of you, who will take care of you?" In this East, the most important thing is the word relationship, it is easy to do things with a relationship, and you will gradually understand it in the future.

"You don't have to worry about those goods for the time being. There is my younger brother in Jiaodong, he is a famous salt merchant of this generation, no matter which wharf, when it comes to the second master of the Xing family, he has to give face. I'll ask my brother to send someone to handle the rest, and you just have to stay in the capital and wait for a response." ”

Benjamin hurriedly stood up, bowed again, and thanked him in succession.

Xing Shuang waved her hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me so early, I didn't give you some points in vain." ”

Benjamin was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Madame, please say, if there are any requirements, I can do everything I can to agree to Madame." ”

Xing Shuang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, since you said so, then please spend more time talking about the things in Cambridge, Lian'er, and my daughter-in-law, and you can talk about them in as much detail as you can." ”
