Zhen Yinglian's reaction surprised both Xing Shuang and Jia Jin, this most disciplined and introverted woman in the family was actually the fastest one to react, even faster than Wang Xifeng, who came back from Liuyang, which had to be a little surprising.

And this actually proves that this woman is not willing to be in the room, and with her mind, going out will help her even more.

Xing Shuang said slowly here, teaching the two daughters-in-law the improvement brought by the industrial revolution to the whole society, Wang Xifeng and Zhen Yinglian couldn't help but be fascinated by it, until the sun set, they were still in the wife's room, listening attentively.

When Jia Liang came home, Xing Shuang was talking about the industrial chain, Jia Liang listened for a while, saw that his daughters-in-law were in high spirits, glanced at his son, and turned around and walked out of the upper room.

Jia Jin quietly followed out, and it wasn't until the two went to the outer study that Jia Liang said to him: "You prepare, go to Europe with your second brother and sister-in-law." ”

Jia Jin was stunned and said, "Not going to England?" ”

Jia Liang shook his head and said, "When I went to England, there happened to be an embassy over there, and your eldest brother was going out to study, so we had to take care of him in advance." Plus the English university is also the best in this era, and your mother and I can have some English.

"But your second brother studied art, and the level of art in England is far from that of other European countries. Europe is not very safe at this time, but if your second brother wants to learn to paint, it is better to go to Italy or France. You can choose two places, see which one you dare to go, and take them with you. ”

Jia Jin smiled bitterly: "I don't know French or Italian, Dad, you are a strong man." ”

Jia Liang glared: "Stinky boy, don't you know how to learn?" At your age, you have a strong memory, so it's not difficult to learn. Your second brother's character and your second sister-in-law's character, I don't feel at ease when I let them go out alone, I can only send them to England without you following, that will not benefit them, just mess around. ”

Jia Jin smiled bitterly: "Then you can find me a teacher first, there is no textbook, why do you tell me to study by myself?" ”

Jia Liang laughed: "I already knew, there was an Italian fleet in the port today, and there was a cook on board who was French." I've already found someone to receive the fleet, you can learn from any country you want, I'll invite someone to your home, you don't like school now anyway, and it's a good thing to learn some pronunciation seriously. ”

Jia Jin thought for a while and said, "Then the two of you will be invited together, French in the morning and Italian in the afternoon." How long will this fleet stay, will it be enough for me to learn the basics? ”

Jia Liang smiled meaningfully: "You can learn the advanced level if you want to, as long as I give an order and don't let people leave, their fleet won't even think of a port." But even if I don't stumble, they will have to stay for at least half a year, and the cargo of this ship will be sold, but not so quickly. ”

When Jia Jin heard that there was no room for turnaround, she had to accept her fate. In addition, he himself really wanted to go out and see Europe in this era, which was also a good opportunity.

Jia Cong and Zhen Yinglian didn't know that they were going out soon, but Zhen Yinglian once went back to give her brother monthly money, and when she saw the foreigners who came to the house, she was puzzled, but she didn't think much about it.

Even Xing Shuang didn't know that her husband and son were colluding together and were already preparing silently. In addition to the newly purchased Guoshan fishing village, she also bought a lot of flooded wasteland and prepared to do some experiments.

In November, Xing Shuang began to prepare for the New Year's ceremony. The dried seafood of all colors was loaded into two large carts. There are four large boxes of corals of various colors. In addition, dried fruits such as dried durian and jackfruit, plus dried longan and canned lychee in sugar water, were also loaded into the car one by one.

The cans are packed in glass bottles, with a threaded cancan mouth, directly screwed on the lid, and then sealed with a layer, which can be both sealed and beautiful. It's just that once the canned sugar water is opened, it has to be eaten immediately. After all, there are no additives in it, and it can be stored until this time, which is the result of being careful not to let a little air leak in.

In addition to these, there are also a large number of Cantonese embroidery, silk and satin all kinds of fabrics. It took four or five cars to complete the loading.

In total, there are a total of ten cars, such a big battle, not to mention that it is rare here, even if the capital is not transported out.

In addition, there are also those sent upward, and the filial piety to the emperor and queen mother is also indispensable.

These things were prepared by Jia Liang for the emperor, and Xing Shuang for the harem. The two of them separately set the things to be delivered, and when they loaded the car, it was ten cars.

Looking at so many cars, Xing Shuang's head hurts.

This has to be escorted by at least two dart boards to rest assured.

Who knew that when Xing Shuang had a headache, a rescue soldier actually came.

On this day, Xing Shuang got up early and was instructing Jin Chuan to find the fleet, when Zijuan came in and said with a smile: "Mrs. go to the outer study, Uncle Ben is here." ”

Xing Shuang smiled speechlessly: "How many times have I told you, it was his name, and his surname was Carpenter." ”

Zijuan said stiffly: "But Uncle Ben said that you should be closer to your name." ”

Jin Chuan dragged her: "I don't remember anything, I can't call it after my name, how many times has my wife taught you?" This is Ben, and if you add Uncle Carpenter, you have to call Uncle Carpenter. ”

Zijuan was puzzled: "But let's call Sister Miao'er, Sister Yuan'er, isn't it also called by Ming'er?" ”

Xing Shuang and Jin Chuan were both speechless for a while. It seems to make sense......

Xing Shuang changed into formal clothes and went to the outer study, but when she entered the outer study, she found that in addition to Benjamin, there was also a Western man she didn't know, and his age was not very obvious, after all, some Western men looked old at a young age, but some middle-aged men looked very young when they were obviously old.

As soon as Benjamin saw Xing Shuang, he stood up excitedly and said to the Western man, "James, this is Mrs. Xing." ”

Hearing James's three words, Xing Shuang immediately understood what the situation was. A few months ago, she also received a letter from Baochai mentioning that her embroidery was being auctioned at Christie's auction house.

Xing Shuang almost immediately fell in love with Baochai's admiration for the five bodies, others may not know Christie's auction house, but she is the most familiar with it, because this is one of the two oldest auction houses in the UK. One of them is Sotheby's in Covent Garden, and the other is this Christie.

Christie's auction house, so may not be known, but if you change the name to another translation - Christie's, then more people will know.

The founder of this Christie's auction house is James Christie.
