Chapter 142: English Country Love Story 4
The girl quickly recovered and told Jia Huan her name: "My name is Victoria. ”
Victoria?
Princess? Queen?
Impossible, right?
Princess Victoria is now in the hands of her mother, the Duchess, how can she run out into the streets of London to play alone?
I'm too sensitive.
"Nice to meet you, can we be friends?"
Victoria asked Jia Huan expectantly.
Although her love is shattered, there is still friendship!
"Yes." Jia Huan nodded.
It's just to deal with the girl in front of you.
He didn't think that after separating today, the two would have a chance to meet again.
Two people are not of the same class.
Although Mr. Bennet was a gentleman, he was nothing more than a rich man in the country, and the true aristocracy looked down on the Bennet family.
They are not in the same circle as the aristocracy.
Victoria was overjoyed, pulling Jia Huan and talking non-stop.
Victoria knew a lot, poetry, literature, current affairs......
She speaks several Chinese.
Jia Huan was not surprised.
The ladies of the nobility, who have been studying since childhood, are carefully cultivated by the family.
Surprised Victoria.
She thought that Jia Huan was an ordinary child, but she didn't expect Jia Huan to know so much.
No matter what topic she says, Jia Huan can pick it up.
Victoria was delighted.
She also didn't want the first friend she took the initiative to meet to be someone who was too ordinary.
The ladies of the Bennet family finally found that Jia Huan was missing, and when they crossed paths, they found Jia Huan talking to a beautiful little girl.
"Oh my God, Mom is so happy. My dear Catherine will finally take the initiative to make friends. ”
Victoria saw a group of women walking by and asked, "Are they people you know?" ”
Jia Huan replied: "It's my mother and sisters, they came to me." ”
"Oh, then you go to them. I'm leaving, too. ”
Victoria didn't want to get in touch with Mrs. Bennet and the others.
She accepted Jia Huan as a friend, but it doesn't mean that she will accept Jia Huan's relatives.
Victoria waved her hand at Jia Huan and left it behind.
Yin Lizabeth stepped forward and reproached, "Catherine, why didn't you tell us and ran away?" ”
"Yes, I'm sorry." Jia Huan made a well-behaved and upright appearance.
This made Yin Lizabeth's anger dissipate at once.
Usually Catherine is very well-behaved, not always noisy like Lydia.
Today's thing should be that she is not interested in buying things, so she is separated from them, right?
Jane asked gently, "The little girl just now, is that your new friend?" ”
Jia Huan: "Sort of." ”
Jane: "He looks like a very temperamental child, so he should have a good background." ”
Jia Huan: "It should be." ”
Mrs. Bennet said, "My dear, that child can't be a lady of a noble family, right?" It's great that you're able to befriend her. I can't say that you will be able to enter the aristocratic circle with her in the future. ”
Jia Huan: "I don't know. ”
Mrs. Bennet: "What do you mean?" ”
Yin Lizabeth: "Mom, Catherine doesn't know the child's background, they just met. ”
Mrs. Bennet: "We'll see each other more later." ”
Jia Huan said he didn't want to speak.
Yin Lizabeth and Jane diverted Mrs. Bennet's attention with the topic, and everyone took Jia Huan back to the Gardiner Mansion on Tian'en Temple Street.
They returned with a full load and bought a lot of things, big bags and small bags.
Lydia and Mary spent all the pocket money they had saved up for years.
Everyone was very satisfied.
The ladies had exhausted all their energy from the day's shopping, and after dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Jia Huan and Lydia shared a room.
She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to recuperate, and when the night was dark, Jia Huan opened her eyes.
Lydia slept deeply.
Today she is exhausted.
However, to be on the safe side, Jia Huan still ordered her sleeping hole to let her sleep more deeply.
Opening the window, Jia Huan jumped out directly from the second floor.
Like a dexterous cat, Jia Huan landed lightly, and then quickly jumped out, and his figure melted into the darkness.
He moved quickly to the port warehouse during the day.
The door to the warehouse was locked, but that didn't work for Jia Huan.
He had been taught how to pick locks by Matsuda Jinpei himself, a wire that could pierce any lock. The technology is directly chasing the Yokohama lock king Osamu Dazai.
Opening the door, Jia Huan walked in.
Inside the warehouse, crates made of wood are neatly arranged.
Jia Huan pried open a wooden box and looked through the goods.
The contents were dark brown and smelled of stale urine, which was extremely strong.
It can't be wrong, these things are opium.
There were at least eight or nine tons of opium in this warehouse, and all of them were shipped to the country of the East. I don't know how many people will be harmed.
Jia Huan's eyes were cold, since he had encountered it, he would never allow these things to flow out.
More than ten minutes later, a fire broke out in the dock warehouse.
When people found out, they ran to put out the fire, only to find that the warehouse was drenched with oil, which caused the fire to be so strong that it was impossible to extinguish it quickly.
When the fire finally subsided, the fire brigade arrived to extinguish the fire, and everything in the warehouse was burned.
Jia Huan took advantage of the gap between others to fight the fire and checked all the other warehouses in the port, but fortunately no more opium was found.
However, opium was found on one ship.
The ship was about to set sail for the East.
Jia Huan sneered and did something on the boat.
When the ship reaches the sea, if it encounters the slightest wind and waves, it will fall apart and sink to the bottom of the sea with all the opium in it.
Not to mention that the crew is innocent.
They all knew what was on board.
After doing all this, Jia Huan felt a little better.
In this life, he is not an Oriental, and there is only so much he can do for that country.
Alas, if it had been possible, he would have really wanted to go to that country.
It's a pity that he is not only a girl in this life, but also a child now, and he has no chance to go to sea and go abroad.
Jia Huan returned to Gardena's house, jumped back to his room, returned to bed, closed his eyes, and slept.
As for what happened at the port, it didn't affect this side of Tianensi Street.
The next day, the rejuvenated ladies continued to go shopping.
This time, they brought enough money.
Mary and Lydia even had a foretaste of next year's pocket money from Mr. Bennet.
Jia Huan continued to yawn after the women, and suddenly, he saw Victoria waving at him at the mouth of an alley.
Jia Huan thought about it, came to Jane's side, and told her that he was going to see Victoria.
Jane turned her head to see Victoria and smiled.
"Go ahead and have fun with your friends."
Jane was relieved that her sister had friends of the same age with whom she could play.
Yin Lizabeth patted the back of Jia Huan's head in fear and pushed him on the shoulder.
"Let's go!"
