Robert von Stegel, a businessman from Britain, arrived shortly after Xiao Li packed his things.

Robert was followed by a young man in his twenties, with black hair and black eyes, and more three-dimensional facial features, which could be seen as distinctly mixed-race features. He was talking to Robert in Britannica.

Jiang Ling guessed that this person was the interpreter hired by Robert, she pricked up her ears and listened attentively, although the distance was a little far, and the voice of the interpreter was small, which made her not really hear, but she could still hear that the difference between British and her English was not too big.

Robert stepped forward and gave the money shopkeeper a hug.

"Money, my friend, it's been a long time." This sentence was not in British language, that is, it was said in a somewhat nondescript manner, but fortunately, the money shopkeeper understood.

"Long time no see, Robert, I don't know what surprises you can bring me." The money shopkeeper took a small step back, apparently after so many transactions, he still wasn't used to the British's enthusiasm.

Jiang Ling immediately followed and translated Robert's words.

Hearing Jiang Ling's fluent British language, Robert was very surprised, he didn't expect that he could hear such a pure hometown dialect in a foreign country.

Robert's gaze shifted from the money shopkeeper to Jiang Ling, he stretched out his hand, and then suddenly remembered something and wanted to take it back.

Jiang Ling reached forward and grabbed Robert's outstretched right hand.

Robert was even more pleasantly surprised: "Miss, have any of the elders in your family ever been to Britain?" Your accent is also very pure and your manners are very thoughtful. ”

The interpreter hired by Robert is surnamed Hu, and his ancestral home is Qiongzhou, and as Jiang Ling guessed, he is only half of the Yan Kingdom blood and is a mixed race. It's just that he grew up in Qiongzhou, and his British language is a two-knife knife, and there is no problem in communication, but it just sounds awkward.

Robert chose to hire Hu Tongyi, firstly because he knew Hu Tongyi's mother, and secondly, because there were no more Britons in Britain who knew the knowledge of Yan and spoke fluently.

"My father had traveled in Britain. My father is Britannica, I just learned the surface, Mr. Robert, you are really too famous, you can call me Jiang directly. Jiang Ling directly carried out her deceased old father. As for whether Jiang Wei has been to Britain or not, whether he can speak Britannica, who can still understand yin and yang?

"Jiang, you can also call me Robert." Robert was as good as he was and accepted Jiang Ling's suggestion.

Hu Tongyi was also very surprised when he heard the conversation between Jiang Ling and Robert, he didn't expect that this childish little girl in front of him could speak fluent Britannica, and even he had a mother from British, who was not as fluent as Jiang Ling in Britannica.

The money shopkeeper is the same, he can hear that Jiang Ling's familiarity with British is far beyond the original translation, but he doesn't know that she Jiang Ling also knows a little about British culture, and can communicate with Robert without barriers. In this way, he only spent a pen and a bottle of ink, and it was a lot of money to be able to invite Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling and Robert only had a brief exchange, and Robert came here to do business after all.

Next, Robert said a word, and Jiang Ling translated it for Qian Youfu, and it was a simultaneous interpretation.

On the other side, Hu Tongyi was not satisfactory, he needed to listen to the money shopkeeper, and then after a short period of thinking and transformation. Hu Tongyi can't be said to be bad, but can only say that there is no harm without comparison.

The end result was good, and both Robert and the money shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction.

At the end of the meeting, Robert asked, "Jiang, I want to hire you as my interpreter, and I can pay you a pound a month." ”

Robert can be said to be very generous, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is about the price of a Parker fountain pen.

"I'm so sorry, Robert, I'm really reluctant to turn down a boss as generous as you, but my dream is to become an author, and hopefully write a best-selling novel in my lifetime." Jiang Ling reluctantly rejected Robert's salary, she is a woman with a writer's system, she was born to write. There is a system, why worry that her future is not bright enough? No, she must be walking on a sunny road.

"Oh, ginger, are you actually a writer? I wonder if I've had the pleasure of reading your book? Robert was a little disappointed, then excited, and his new friend turned out to be an aspiring writer.

"Robert, I wish I could share the novel I wrote with you, but I don't have it at hand, I hope that in the future my novel can be translated into the language of your country, and Robert will be able to see it then." Jiang Ling vaguely expressed his ambition that his novels would sell well overseas.

"I'm sure you'll succeed, just like the Austin ladies of our country." Robert has been doing business in the two places for many years, and he also understands some of the customs of Yan Kingdom, he heard Jiang Ling's ambition, and sent his sincere blessings.

"Thank you very much for your blessing Robert. Your country's Academy of Sciences is truly remarkable, my father once described to me the steam engine improved by the academicians of your Academy of Sciences, that is really a miracle, isn't it? Jiang Ling said without a trace, even if she said it wrongly, she could apologize and say that she remembered it wrong.

"Of course, Sir Watt's improved steam engine greatly increased productivity, and it was the greatest miracle of our time......" said Robert, who was not sleepy, and that was the area he was familiar with.

Yan people like Jiang who are familiar with Britain and are willing to know more about Britain are a minority, and many more can't even hide the disdain in their eyes. But money is justice, and Robert doesn't care what the people of Yan Guo think in their hearts and what they think of him. But it would be nice to have someone like Jiang who could talk to him.

Robert babbled a lot about the Academy of Sciences and the steam engine to Jiang Ling, as if he had to tell all the things that had been held back for a long time.

Jiang Ling has always been a qualified listener, and her focused gaze seems to belong to Robert alone at this time, which makes Robert's desire to talk to a higher level.

Robert didn't stop until his mouth was dry. Robert's desire to talk was satisfied, and Jiang Ling's curiosity was also satisfied.

The industrial revolution has already begun in foreign countries! And Dayan is still fighting against the peasant uprisings one after another, how will such a gap be repaid in the future?

The worry in Jiang Ling's eyes disappeared in an instant, and she buried it deep in her heart, and then regained a smile on her face and said goodbye to Robert.
