Chapter Twenty-Three: The Etiquette of the Chinese Aristocrats and the Chang'an-County Man
Coming out of Yasu Restaurant, the fat man had just returned home and was about to change his slippers, when he suddenly disappeared with a "whoosh".
When he came to his senses, he found that he was already in the world of One Piece, and that he was not on a raft, but in the sea, and a wave of waves hit, and he saw scattered pieces of wood floating on the surface of the sea and a sailboat not far away.
He shouted with joy at the sight of the sailboat, he had never thought that he would be able to cross the ocean and find a port or land on a raft, and now it would be better to come across a ship, even though the sailboat had broken up his raft and pulled himself in from reality.
The sailboat was a Spanish brig, because it read: "Seriously injured Spanish brig, Spanish captain 10th class Will. Lord William's ship, Sailor XVII, First Mate. ”
On the Spanish brig, the lookout suddenly shouted: "Captain, there is a man, there is a man on the raft we broke just now, thank the Lord, he is still alive, captain, shall we save him?" He's crying out for help! ”
"Damn, wasn't there anyone on that raft just now? Walker, what do you do, damn it! The captain came to the back of the ship, saw that there was indeed a man on the sea calling for help, and turned back and shouted: "Damn it, put down the boat, let's go save him, we are merchants, not damned pirates!" ”
The crew on one side lowered the boat and said to the captain, "Captain, you shouldn't be so rude, you are a nobleman. ”
"Yes, I'm a nobleman, a nobleman who has just been attacked by pirates, damn it, I lost the face of the nobleman!" The bearded and a little haggard captain said hatefully: "I will kill all the pirates and send them all to the gallows, Arthur, you get into the boat, go and see what kind of man that man is, if he is not a pirate, then you will send him to hell, understand?". ”
"Yes Father!" The crew, Arthur, nimbly descended from the soft ladder into the lifeboat.
"Call the captain!" The captain was furious.
"Yes, Captain! If it was a pirate, I would send him to the bottom of the sea! Arthur exclaimed, and rowed the boat toward the fat man.
Originally, when he saw the name displayed, the fat man was ready for others not to save him, looking at the appearance of the other party, it was clear that he had already fought a big battle, and the big hole in the hull that was blasted by the cannonball had not been repaired, which already showed that the ship was not optimistic, but he didn't expect the other party to really stop the boat and put down the lifeboat.
Here came two red-haired crew members, Thor, Spanish sailor, sailing class 6, trade class 1, combat class 3, and Arthur. William, Spanish sailor, sailing class 6, trade class 4, combat class 2.
But the fat man didn't understand a word of what they said, but he still understood when he reached out and pulled him, and he came to save him.
When he was pulled onto the lifeboat, Chen Fatzi was a little stunned, not because of the two people in front of him, but because of a voice in his head: "Ding! Congratulations to player Chen Xiaoleng for triggering the quest 'Etiquette of the Chinese Aristocrats', for the European aristocracy, they are proud, so they always try to distinguish between the nobility and the commoners, and the best way to distinguish between them is etiquette.
And the current identity of the player Chen Xiaoleng is the people of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Celestial Empire, a future nobleman, compared to the European nobles who are still in the revival, it is the difference between a heaven and an earth, so, please cherish the reputation of the Celestial Empire, and establish an image of a well-educated noble child, so as not to make people look down on my Great Tomorrow Dynasty; Reward: Learn Spanish;

increased his prestige by 4800, and awarded the barony of Chang'an-County in the Southern Ministry of Daming Dynasty;
Mission Failure Penalty: Will. Lord William will treat you as a pirate, hanged or used as a slave if you wear unknown and expensive clothing and do not know any etiquette.
The system is here to warn the player, warning, this world is the same as the real world, as long as you die here, you can never be resurrected, you can only really die, so, cherish life! ”
Wearing unknown expensive clothes, this doesn't mean that he is wearing this formal outfit now! This is going to court today, so I wore a formal suit, and I was dressed for thousands of oceans!
It's really expensive enough.
But what is etiquette?
A handshake is definitely not good, in fact, the handshake ceremony is a lower riba people's thing, that is, it is popular in modern times, regardless of Chinese and foreign in the past, there has never been a handshake in the solemn etiquette.
Forget it, it's not that we are Chinese aristocrats, let's talk about the ancient etiquette of the Chinese nation, in fact, isn't it just pretending! Don't dare to say anything else, this fat man is doing it.
Climbing up the soft ladder to the tall Spanish brig, I saw a somewhat embarrassed bearded man with a "Will. Lord William's name, a man in his forties, a first mate, and a dozen sailors were watching him.
Gotcha, pretending to begin!
The fat man smiled elegantly at the two sailors who had saved him, and then wiped the freshly cut board on his head with both hands, as if he was sorting out the non-existent messy hair.
Then he looked down at his already soaked clothes, pulled the clothes that looked a little uneven because of the wetness, and then walked up a few steps to Will. In front of Lord William, he raised his fist in front of his chest, his chin raised slightly, as if he was a little arrogant and a little solemn, and then bowed slightly to Lord William and said in Chinese: "Chen thanked the captain for saving him!" ”
Then he got up, looked at each other at eye level, and this action directly shocked the group of European turtles on the boat.
In the eyes of the whole boat, this black-haired and slightly chubby man who was rescued from the sea suddenly came out of the top of his head with three words "tall", which made Lord William, who had always considered himself a nobleman, suddenly feel a head short in front of the other party.
In fact, this is just the power of the sense of ceremony, and the fat man's actions show that he is a nobleman with a very noble blood and a good education.
Especially in this way, the action made by a person who has learned well is a noble etiquette, while the action made by a person who has not learned well is a dog, which is a problem of education.
And what about the fat man! He watched a lot of TV and novels, and he figured out the charm of ancient etiquette in this electric time, which is noble, to put it in layman's terms, it is to pretend to be forced!
Just like the tea ceremony, with a specific technique, a specific order, and a specific etiquette, people can enjoy a baptism in their hearts when drinking tea, which is pretending to be for fat people.
pretend, fat people will too, he also read the paper "On the Sense of Ritual", he thought it was well written, and now, he feels that he has done a good job.
Yes, he did a good job, for Lord William had already messed up, and the noble manners and cultivation displayed by this chubby young man with short black hair, dressed in unknown expensive clothes, and speaking words that he did not understand, made his lord, who often regarded himself as a nobleman, feel that he had bowed his chest very much.
Captain William felt that the other party must be a nobleman cultivated from a large family, which was much stronger than the nobles from a large family in the port of Valencia.
He Xi smiled at the sailor who rescued him on the ship, the calmness of tidying up his appearance, the arrogance that he could still raise his chin slightly when he arrived at this step in the field, and the noble etiquette of holding his hands together into a fist and bowing slightly when he was pleasing to the eye.
These all indicated that the other party was a nobleman from an unknown country, which made him hurry back and hurriedly let the fat man into the cabin while quickly turning sideways to let the fat man into the cabin, and took out his few clean clothes, and let the fat man who was soaked all over his body change into them.
At this time, in Europe, which had just escaped the dark rule of the Holy See, the nobles who had finally had some power were very protective of their aristocratic status, and all the phenomena now showed that the black-haired man in front of him was at least the heir of a big family, so Lord William did not dare to slack off.
Because he was only a lord, although he always said that he was a nobleman, he understood that the lord was really not a nobleman, and the lord and knight were only nobles of the common class, because the most subordinate title was the baron.
Just when the fat man walked into the cabin and closed the hatch, his pretended expression relaxed, and at this moment: "Ding! Congratulations to the player Chen Xiaoleng, who completed the task 'Etiquette of the Chinese Aristocrats', got a reward, learned Spanish, increased his reputation by 4800, and obtained the title of the baronial officer of Chang'an-County in the Southern Ministry of the Ming Dynasty with a seal. ”
"As a result of the knighthood upgrade, players can have an additional natural skill, can command a fleet of four ships, and can recruit five captains."
Then the fat man felt that his brain was clouded, and two golden lights flashed on his body, it turned out that navigation and trade were both upgraded to a level, and then a large stream of information rushed into his mind, and then he sank in his pocket, and something appeared in it, and he took it out to see, it was a book of things that often appeared on TV, but when he opened it, he didn't know the words written in it, it looked like a small seal, and he opened it to take a look, and wrote a few pages full of small seal characters, and where can I see it, there are still things in my pocket, and then take it out, Is it a copper seal that is also engraved with seal characters, what about gold coins?
The fat man's eyes searched around, he didn't have much impression of the gold coins in this world at the moment, and he hadn't seen the silver coins he got from the last mission.
That's right! Silver coins, the silver coins from the last time appeared directly in the backpack, why did I forget this!
He opened the backpack space and found that all the gold and silver coins had become a number in the backpack space, with a number of 200 in the column where the gold coin was located and a number 10 in the column where the silver coin was located.
What does this coin look like? The fat man was thinking about how to take out a piece of gold coin to see what it looked like, just thinking about it, he felt that there was something more in his hand, and when he looked down, it was actually a golden coin, about the same size as the copper coin, but there was no square hole in the middle, on the front of the coin was a clear word, and the back was actually a golden dragon that was like a life, and then looked at the number of the gold coin in the backpack, it had become 199, oh! That's how it looks!
Then he suddenly added a box in the empty space that was still empty for backup, and took a closer look at the name of the box, "Daming Chang'an-County Man's Official Uniform Sword Box"
"Official uniform? Sabre? The fat man was stunned, he didn't expect that one day he would be able to wear the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty and carry the sword of the Ming Dynasty official.
