Chapter 371: Welcome to Princeton
readx;
I was only in Manchester for three days, only visiting the office of the European branch of Xiangyu and spending the rest of the time in my hotel. Veris said to be 3P with me and Zheng Kexiang www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, but Zheng Kexiang thought where he could accept such an avant-garde suggestion, so naturally he didn't agree to live or die.
Three days later, I missed Keren so much that I boarded a flight to Princeton Island, said goodbye to Zheng Kexiang and Veris, and began the second leg of my European tour.
Before getting on the plane, Zheng Kexiang gave me the address and phone number of the Zheng family's estate on Princeton Island. But I didn't call them to tell them I was coming, just to surprise them.
Princeton Island is far from the European continent, and after about three hours by plane, I finally came to the place where I was about to achieve my dream, a man's paradise, the Kingdom of Princeton.
The Kingdom of Princeton is a medium-sized island in the Atlantic Ocean, about fifty square miles in size, with a population of less than 30,000, and the vast majority of them are women. Most of the Kingdom's citizens live in the island's only city: Princeton, the Kingdom's capital. A small number of people, scattered in the countryside and pastures everywhere.
According to the information I have, the main source of the Princeton Kingdom's economy is the export of the island's specialty: the Princeton horse. Almost every family in the kingdom raised horses, and outside the cities, except for the farmland, there were pastures for horses. Although it is now the 21st century, the entire earth has entered the era of modern scientific and technological civilization. But in most parts of the kingdom, the ancient way of life is still maintained.
When I came out of the airport, I saw that many of the people in the city were riding horses, and most of them were women. Of course, it's not that there are no cars, it's just that the city is too small to seem to have such a luxury as driving. Most of the citizens of the kingdom lived a simple life, and only the princes and nobles would enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by the car.
I watched for a long time, but I didn't see a single taxi. Instead, I saw that some of the tourists or aborigines who got off the plane with me brought in that very old carriage, and when I said a place, the coachman drove it away.
I saw that there were several identical carriages parked at the corner of the exit of the airport, and after thinking about it, I understood that in this kingdom, the carriage is their taxi, right?
To be honest, I've never been in a carriage in my life. At that moment, he waved in the direction of the parked carriage and signaled for one to come.
Immediately, a carriage drove slowly. I saw that the horse was tall and majestic, and it was the Princeton horse that was endemic to the region. The carriage was driven by a silver-haired white girl, who smiled and said to me in English: "Good afternoon, guests from afar, welcome to Princeton, where are you going?"
I know that the vast majority of people in this country are women, so I am not surprised to see a coachman. So I took out the address that Zheng Kexiang wrote to me, handed it to the white girl to look at, and then said in my not very fluent English: "Do you know this place?" Take me here, how much does it cost? ”
When the white girl saw it, she smiled and said, "Guest from afar, in fact, as soon as I saw you, I guessed that you would go to this place." In our kingdom, few yellow-skinned Orientals come. And the most famous of the yellow people in the kingdom is the Sir Zheng family. Please get in the carriage and I'll take you there for twenty euros. ”
I don't know how far the Zheng family estate is from here, but it's only twenty euros, and I can accept it. So, I loaded my luggage into the carriage and said with a smile: "Then thank you for taking me there, but let me ask, how long does it take to get to Sir Zheng's house?" ”
The white girl Gege smiled, waved her horsewhip, and said, "Soon, you will be able to see Sir Zheng's ranch!" ”
The capital of the kingdom is actually less than a small city in China. After twenty minutes of travel, the carriage actually left the city and came to the suburbs.
Sitting in the carriage, I saw patches of grassland pastures, like clouds, horses running in the pastures. It felt like the American West.
The girl in the carriage seemed to be very talkative, and kept talking to me all the way. Then she asked, "Are you a descendant of Sir Cheng?" I have heard that the eldest son of Sir Cheng's family left the kingdom for the East when he was young. Since then, he has never returned. Your English isn't very authentic, you must have grown up in the East, right? ”
I had no choice but to smile bitterly and say, "I grew up in the East, but I am not a descendant of Sir Cheng. ”
The white girl was stunned for a moment, looked back at me carefully, and said, "Really?" So what did you come to the Kingdom for? Tourism? ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "I am a friend of Sir Zheng's descendants, and I came here to see them this time." ”
"Oh!" The white girl smiled, waved the whip in her hand again, and said, "I heard that several descendants of Sir Zheng's female surnames have returned to the kingdom to settle down. Then you must be someone who loves a certain Miss Zheng family, right? But alas, you are not a citizen of the kingdom, and I am afraid that you will not be able to marry her. ”
The words of the white girl touched the sore spot in my heart. I had to laugh bitterly and not defend anything. The carriage kept running along the road between the pastures and pastures, and after a long time, it still didn't seem to reach my destination. This kingdom is so big, I really don't know if it's almost to the beach now. I said a little strangely, "Excuse me, didn't you say we'll be there soon?" How long will it take to get to Sir Cheng's house? ”
But listening to the smile of the white girl, she pointed to a large grassland on the left and said, "We have arrived, this is the ranch of Sir Zheng's family." ”
I was stunned and turned my head to look, but I saw that not far from the pasture, thousands of Princeton horses were grazing. Several cowboy girls ride on horses, constantly guarding and maintaining the order of the horses, preventing some horses with the surname Ziye from escaping the herd.
What excites me is that these herding girls seem to be yellow-skinned Orientals. I remembered that the eldest sister Zheng Kexiang said that now Keran is managing the ranch here, could she be among these shepherd girls?
Excited, I hurriedly said to the white girl driving the carriage, "I'm sorry, please stop!" ”
The white girl didn't know what I was going to do, so she hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped the carriage, and turned back and said, "What's the matter?" ”
I stood up, my hands on the awning and my eyes on it. But the horses were so far away from me that I couldn't see the faces of a few herding girls. In desperation, I had to say, "Can you wait for me here?" I'll go check it out and I'll be back right away. ”
The white girl shrugged her shoulders and said it didn't matter. I immediately jumped out of the carriage, ran to the side of the road, and strode through the wooden fence at the edge of the pasture.
Soon, I could see the face of a young horse herder near me. Sure enough, he is a typical Oriental, with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin. He is about twenty years old, and he looks three points similar to a lovely person. I'm sure, though, that I've never met her.
The young girl also spotted me, and as soon as she hurriedly pulled the reins, the horse came to me, and shouted in English, "Who are you?" This is the Zheng family ranch, how can you just break in? ”
I smiled, first gave a salute in the English gentleman's etiquette that Zheng Kexiang had taught me, and then said in English: "Dear lady, I am from China, and I want to meet Zheng Keran and Zheng Keren." I'm their friend, can you tell me where they are now? ”
The horse girl was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "You are from China?" Suddenly, she changed her tone to me in fluent Chinese: "Are you a friend of Sister Keran and Sister Keren?" What is your name? Where is China from? ”
When I heard that this girl could actually speak Chinese, I couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said in Chinese: "I am from China C City, and my name is Yu Shan." Do you know Keran and Keren? That's great, are they there? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the horse girl shout in surprise: "Umbrella? Are you the umbrella? Haha, you're the umbrella brother who rescued Sister Lovely from the bad guys? ”
I sweat! How is it that even people on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean know about this? But hearing her say this made me even more sure that this horse wrangler knew someone very well. He smiled and said, "Yes, I am the umbrella." This one...... You're very familiar with Keren, huh? She's ...... now. Where is it? ”
The herding girl ran around me twice, looked at me with a smile for a while, and suddenly shouted, "Hey! Come here, our great hero is here. If you haven't married yet, hurry up and take a good look! ”
I...... I sweat! Hearing the girl's shout, the shepherd girls who were far away came over one after another. I glanced at it like this, but I didn't see anyone I knew, and I guess Keren and Keran wouldn't be here. The horse herding girl in front of me got off the horse at once, came to me happily, grabbed my hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Zheng Fannie, and I am the cousin of Sister Keren." I'm nineteen years old and still ...... Not married yet! ”
I'm sweating! Have you ever married, and what does it have to do with me? Could it be that this woman has more men and less women in the country are all so direct and open?
I suddenly realized that since Keren and Keran were not there, if I didn't hurry up, I was afraid that I would have to be entangled by these women. At that moment, before the other shepherd girls arrived, I quickly withdrew my hand and laughed: "So you are a lovely cousin?" Haha, I'm glad I will! You're busy, you're busy, I won't bother you. ”
So saying, I quickly turned around and ran towards the carriage in which I came.
But I heard the lovely cousin behind me shouting, "Hey, why are you leaving?" The sisters haven't seen you yet, or I'll take you to see Sister Keren! ”
I shook my hand backwards, strode to the fence, climbed over, jumped into the carriage in disarray, and shouted, "Go quickly, go to Sir Cheng's house!" ”
The shepherd girls had already come to the lovely cousin, and after a few words of inquirement, I saw at once a woman pull the leash and follow my carriage along the fence of the pasture. After a while, she caught up with me and shouted to me from afar, "Welcome to Princeton, Brother Umbrella, my name is Zheng Lili, and I am also the cousin of Sister Lovely Girl!" ”
I...... I sweat!
