Chapter 37: The Angel Who Fell to Earth

"Throwing a big ball?"

Li Fushou looked at Ben-Lewis and Sir Robinho in some surprise, looked out the window at the black carriage on the street, and could only nod helplessly.

These upper-class people swooped over like green-headed flies, buzzing around and screaming, you can't slap him to death, just ask if you are depressed or not?

Just stew it in a pot, and you can find a quiet place in the future.

Looking at the surprised and delighted expressions of Ben-Lewis and Sir Robinho, the kind of pride and glory that could not be concealed, Li Fushou was secretly angry and funny, his face was not revealed, and he said lightly; "It takes a lot of people to hold a ball, and if it's not enough, it can be drawn from my men."

"Thank you, that's great, let's get ready."

"Well, my men will be there soon, so you can arrange it."

"Thank you for your trust, then we will take our leave."

Sending away this pair of living treasures, Li Fushou said to Zhu Wei; "You can arrange this, bring our people over to help, and by the way, see more exotic customs, this kind of big scene is rare."

"Obedience."

Li Fushou Shi Ran walked into the French-style luxury suite, and the door was guarded by Hu Tiesheng, the master of Tongbei Boxing, and Fu Peng, a master of Shaolin layman, in turn, and no one was allowed to trespass.

He needs to think a little about the specific itinerary in the United States, taking into account all the needs of this visit to the United States.

So far, it seems that the situation has been better than imagined in the past few days.

The letters of recommendation from three members of Congress have been obtained, which means that at least six elite backbones can be selected to enter the United States Naval Academy, although it cannot be compared with the high-level naval academies of the British Empire, it is still a world-class naval academy.

This opportunity cannot be missed, and who said that cadets who graduated from the Naval Academy are not able to command ocean-going freighters?

There is a desire in Li Fushou's heart, which is the infinite yearning for the cannon giant ship in the steam era;

When a large cloud of thick black smoke appeared on the sea level, the tall triangular masts of the ironclad battleship jumped out of the blue sea one after another, and the huge cannon muzzle of the black hole pointed at the enemy, cleaving the waves all the way......

What a thrilling scene!

Being in the tide of history, Li Fushou has a feeling of being pushed away by the surging tide, some things are not under his control, and some things are not something he can avoid and stay out of the matter.

The tide of history is rushing mightily, who can stop it?

Li Fushou didn't think about how to deal with it, and he didn't have a clear idea of what he should do in the future.

Ultimately, it was a deep fear of the British Empire's unrivalled naval might, so powerful that non-human forces could resist.

If you take this little bit of your belongings to hit it, it will be useless to develop for decades.

He only knows one thing;

You must do your best to develop your strength and business empire, and lay a solid foundation in order to face any stormy seas.

As for Ben-Lewis, Fischer and his ilk climbed high branches, and they were self-inflicted, Li Fushou never took it seriously.

The descendants of the royal family are indeed true, and the Li Tang Dynasty also exists in the history of the East, which is not a lie.

As for these old beauties making up their own brains, it has nothing to do with me.

The fact that celebrities are scrambling to get together is the most important thing to do to complete the trip to North America.

In the evening, the gorgeous Auckland Grand Theatre is lit up.

The grand upper-class ball was held here, and the high-society people from Oakland, including San Francisco, gathered here to dress up and attend, and it turned into a grand carnival ball.

Entrance to the Grand Theatre

In addition to the courteous waiters receiving guests, hundreds of uniformly dressed Chinese are a beautiful sight, all of them have short haircuts, strong expressions, and wear decent gray suits to maintain order.

For these young men, seeing countless beautiful women surrounded by warblers and swallows, revealing large areas of slippery white on their chests, and bursting with fragrant winds, they are simply happy, and there is a wonderful feeling of falling into a gentle country.

How can you describe this feeling?

Want to throw up......

It's a bit like a monk who has eaten vegetarian food for a few years, and all of a sudden, the big fat slices and big bowls with thick fingers are really tired.

In the middle of the theater hall

Li Fushou was wearing an elegant tuxedo, and was politely greeting the oncoming upper-class people, and the people in front would be replaced by the people behind them if they couldn't say a word, and they would rotate like a marquee.

He was like a reef in the middle of the sea, with waves around him.

It was hard for him to remember so many people, except that there were financiers, old aristocrats, governors, parliamentarians, rear admirals, cavalry colonels, plantation owners, big capitalists and their families, and countless beautiful faces flickered in front of his eyes.

Suddenly

He saw an extremely beautiful maiden, standing quietly in the middle of the crowd and moving forward, although she did not speak, but all the light was born for her.

She is simply the 19th-century version of Audrey Hepburn, a beautiful angel who fell into the world.

Suddenly, Li Fushou felt like lightning exploding, reflecting into his heart, and the stunned people took the initiative to step forward.

Ben-Lewis stood next to him and laughed very happily, and Zhu Wei couldn't help but ask; "Ben, who is this beautiful girl?"

"It was I who I chose for my honorable gentleman, a girl from the down-and-out Earl's family, who is in dire need of a well-paying job."

"How could the Earl family be down?"

"Hehehe...... Dear Zhu, you don't know this. "Ben-Lewis was smiling very happily, and he was willing to answer Zhu Wei's questions;" The United States is a bourgeois democratic country, there is no soil for the existence of aristocrats, they must rely on their own efforts to earn money to eat, and cannot parasitize on the hard work of serfs, there are many nobles from Europe who are downtrooped and live worse than farmers, lo and behold...... This is the social reality. ”

"But...... I see a lot of old European aristocrats here, some Florentine, some Edin, some Lyon, and many other places of aristocrats, also glamorous and brightly dressed. Zhu Weiwu didn't believe it.

"Don't be fooled by appearances, it is possible that the most expensive possession of these people is the dress on their body, and if they do not have enough to eat at the banquet, they will go home hungry."

"It's not such an exaggeration, I think they all come in luxury carriages."

"It's not hard to rent a luxury carriage in Auckland, and for a dozen dollars, these glamorous women may be willing to spend the Spring Festival with you."

"Uh...... Well, you convinced me. ”

Zhu Wei was impressed, looking at those reserved and noble aristocratic men and women, he felt that it was not such a thing at all, it was very strange.

This side of the car

Li Fushou politely stretched out his hand; "Is that okay...... Beautiful young lady, I am Li Fushou from the East, a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, can I kiss your hand? ”

"You can call me Miss Leona."

The angel-like girl stretched out her hand elegantly, her delicate fingers were almost transparent, Li Fushou gently took the back of her hand and bent down to kiss it lightly, and then said; "It's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful Miss Leona, can we talk alone?"

"Yes, but before that I have to eat something, or I'll faint in your arms at any moment."

Li Fushou was taken aback: "Oh, okay, please hold my arm." ”

Li Fushou took Leona and left, and the upper-class people who were originally waiting in line to meet saw that there was no play, so they exploded and went to find a suitable target.

Quiet little hall

Leona was munching on the cream cake, stretching out her white and delicate fingers from time to time to suck the cream off the corners of her face and hands clean, and then snickered embarrassedly.

"You don't have to eat in such a hurry, we have time, and we also have food, enough to fill your stomach."

"Don't talk now, it's rude to a cream cake, my gosh, do you know I haven't eaten in two days?"

"Uh...... All right. Li Fushou touched his nose and stopped squeaking.

After eating something, the strength in Leona's body returned, and she couldn't help but complain; "The miserly banker only gave me a rail ticket and told me to come from Seattle hundreds of kilometers away at once, and I took the train for two days and two nights without even a sip of water."

"It's really sympathetic."

"Bah, you rich nobles will only talk about it, and you won't sympathize with us down-and-out nobles at all." Speaking of this, Leona's beautiful and smart big eyes stared at Li Fushou, and asked abruptly; "Tell me, do you want to sleep with me?"

Li Fushou was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and when he heard this sentence coldly, he didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out;

"Am I acting so obviously?"

"Hmph, men are all the way, since I grew up, the eyes staring at me are squinting, trying to get me into bed......"

"Ahem......"

Even if there is such a thought, it must not be admitted.

Li Fushou couldn't help it, and interrupted Leona's words with two dry coughs, it was difficult for him to associate the beautiful angel-like girl in front of him with the problem girl with vulgar words.

"I think it's better to be a lady, don't show that you're out of place in society, this will be seen as an outlier by most people, your weak shoulders don't seem to be able to take on too much, don't think you're too strong."

"Women don't need to be strong, just find a strong enough man, he will solve all the problems for me, such as you......"

"Huh...... Seems to have eaten me. ”

"I can feel that you like me a lot, don't you?"

Li Fushou's face turned cold, Leona was extremely keenly aware of the subtle changes, and her confident face couldn't help but panic.

Without this strong support, we may have to go down the road of selling our flesh in exchange for bread that we can eat.

She really wanted to show it too much, and she used too much force, who knew that the fish would get off the hook.

Li Fushou stood up indifferently, bowed slightly politely and said, "I still have a lot of distinguished guests to deal with, so I can't accompany you for the time being, Miss Leona, please take care of yourself." ”

"No, please don't leave me here alone."

"Actually, I can do that, and you're not as important as you think." Li Fushou had already begun to walk outside.

"Please...... With a little gentlemanly demeanor and a little mercy, I can't afford to lose this important job. ”

"No, you've never got this job, so why lose it?"

Li Fushou left categorically, he didn't like women who thought they were smart, nor did he like women who thought they were right, and it was impossible to accept a bad thing.

Although attracted by Leona's amazing beauty, she quickly regained her composure and left with firm steps.

His cruel departure crushed the last insistence in Leona's heart, and finally she couldn't hold back and lay on the chair and cried, crying so sadly and sadly.
