Chapter 207: Rich Travels All Over the World
Wang Xifeng's words were reasonable, and Xing Shuang no longer insisted. But this time, Xing Shuang also learned why Wang Xifeng was so favored by Jia's mother in the book.
She is really an eight-sided person, and even Xue Baochai can't catch up. Otherwise, how could she afford such a big responsibility at such a young age and manage the entire Rongguo Mansion?
Wang Xifeng had the heart to relieve the pressure on both sides for her wife, and Xing Shuang was also happy to have a helper, so she went. After Wang Xifeng left with the people, Xing Shuang called Jia Lian and told him about the future.
"Although someone has been invited to teach you the language, but in terms of daily habits, you have to be prepared first, and this West is very different from us in terms of food and daily life. Now, in addition to learning the language, you also have to ask Flessis about the rules and habits of the West, so that you can be mentally prepared early, and you will not make jokes as soon as you pass. ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he was a little worried for a while, but he still said with ambition: "Don't worry, my mother can rest assured, the son who should learn will study seriously, even if he dies there, I won't embarrass my mother." ”
Xing Shuang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where did you die there?" Most of those who can die there are just unable to support their lives. This has money all over the world, and the family can't afford to support it, are you still worried about this? ”
Jia Lian was amused by what her mother said, and jokingly asked, "Just have money?" ”
Xing Shuang said seriously: "Of course, to put it bluntly, if you can't live outside, how many reasons can you die outside?" First, I was hungry and cold, I couldn't live anymore, and I couldn't buy a ferry ticket back, so I naturally starved to death, and the sick died.
"Moreover, they are not familiar with the environment, do not understand the customary laws of the other side, break the rules of others, and commit crimes, and naturally they will be punished. It's different from here, if you catch a thief over there, you'll be hanged in public. ”
Jia Lian asked again: "Is the mother worried that her son will not study well outside?" ”
Xing Shuang shook her head and said, "I'm not worried about you, you are honest and smart, I am only worried that you will be used." There are some things that you don't do, and if someone uses you and makes you take the pot, you can't tell if you have a mouth.
"So don't just learn the language, ask Flessis more about England, you must know everything well, and you won't panic when you go out.
"If you are like those who run out without knowing anything, and they don't know if they break the law for a while, they will be wronged when they are killed in vain. And this English food is not as good as ours here, but it can't be so finely dressed. You have to be reminded of all this beforehand.
"But don't worry, our family is not poor, and if you go, you will naturally bring you a cook. It's just that the food is different, buy some ingredients and come back, and let the chef make some for you. It's just a little spice, there's always salt on that head. ”
Xing Shuang didn't say this in vain, she herself is an overseas Chinese, so she doesn't have much feeling, but she has seen a lot of international students. The biggest problem for those international students is their eating habits, and the rest is okay.
The bitterness of having no money, the smile of being rich, this is her biggest feeling.
The Qing Dynasty government sent more than 100 people out to study, but few of them went back alive for what? Is it really unaccustomed to living abroad? At the end of the day, it's not a word, money!
How much money can the household department allocate to these international students? How much money did the people who led the international students out greedy? How much can these international students get for their living expenses?
In addition, the gap between the rich and the poor in Britain at that time was very large, and Britain's own poor people often starved to death, not to mention the group of people who crossed the ocean?
It's different if I have money, I go abroad at my own expense, how much money can you care about me? I can afford to buy bread, I can afford to be a doctor, and I have someone to feed me and know the local laws, so I can still die, that's a joke!
Xing Shuang doesn't understand the psychology of those who have no money and still want to squeeze their heads to send their children abroad, isn't this a clear crime of sending their children out?
And going abroad at public expense is different from going abroad at your own expense, you have to have someone to manage your money for whatever you want to do when you go abroad at public expense, and it doesn't all depend on the family's financial ability to pay for yourself?
To put it bluntly, if you have money to travel all over the world, it is difficult to move an inch if you are poor. No matter how much the times change, this truth will not change.
Speaking of which, it is more convenient to go out now than later, as long as you bring gold, you are afraid that there will be no local currency? There are also banks in the West now, and the gold is deposited in the bank, and there is a relationship with Viscount Norton, and it is very safe for his son to go out.
It's just that this habit of eating and living should be used to it in advance, so as not to ask three questions and not know, and go out to call it hard.
Jia Lian has always been a filial person, and his mother believes everything she says, so Xing Shuang opened his mouth, and he became serious, and he learned the language with Flessis every day, so he asked him to ask something Western.
Flessis could speak Chinese, so he naturally knew everything and told him everything. Jia Lian was just curious at first, but gradually began to simulate these habits with Flaces, and gradually after a few days, he went home to talk to his daughter-in-law, and from time to time he brought some Western habits.
Wang Xifeng still wondered why her husband's mouth was getting sweeter and sweeter, as if he had smeared honey. I praise myself for being beautiful at every turn, and I always say that I have good skin, big eyes, and a good smile.
At first, she was ashamed, thinking that her husband was ridiculing her. But since I got used to it, I felt that it was very useful, and the relationship between husband and wife has become much better.
On this day, Wang Xifeng went to ask for peace, and it happened that Jia Liang had not left yet, Wang Xifeng walked to the porch, and heard the master in the house say to his wife: "Have you lost a lot of weight, I will take this small waist with one arm." ”
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, his face was flushed, and he was about to retreat quickly, when he heard the wife in the house laugh coquettishly: "You can't see that it is someone who has given birth to two children, right?" This is not too small, when Lian'er comes back from England, I will also ask him to bring back a few corsets, so that I can get back to my original appearance. ”
Wang Xifeng chuckled psychologically, hurriedly retreated to the gate of the courtyard, and stood there until he saw the master come out, then he went over to salute and see his father-in-law leave.
Then she went back to the porch, trying to go in but her mind was pounding, and she didn't know how to speak.
Listening to what his wife said, is the second master going to England in the future? Although she didn't know where England was, she always knew that it was a Western country.
I just got married, and the second master is going to go far away? Why didn't my wife mention this before, and her family didn't know about it?
Wang Xifeng didn't feel good for a while, and stood on the porch for a while, until Jin Chuan came out of his room, and saw the second grandmother standing on the porch from a distance, so he asked, "Why didn't the second grandmother go in?" ”
