At lunchtime, the music on the top floor of the ship was slowly flowing down, and it was gradually heard in the cafeteria, and the music was very beautiful, ancient and melodious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Violin playing, Captain, have you arranged a new program?"

"Uh......"

Regardless of the bewildered old captain, many people flocked to the small ballroom, especially the leisurely and elegant foreigners, who gradually gathered there, and gathered in a circle to see a violinist in a black trench coat, handsome and young, with a face as deep as the ancient statue of Lichia.

A few foreigners who had been sitting in the ballroom were happy to introduce the newcomers to their companions: "Anthony, a traveling violinist. ”

"The name is kind of like ...... Who's that?" A beautiful woman pressed the hem of her skirt, her eyes fell on the handsome face of the violinist, and her ability to search for information plummeted in her mind.

The female companion was speechless for a while, so she had to say: "The famous music master Anthony, but it's just the same name." ”

"Oh, come to think of it, it's Anthony...... There seem to be quite a lot of people with this name in recent years. ”

"Here's a little story about the music guru we had the other day...... Da Luqu traveled to Europe at the age of fifteen, she grew up in continuous exchanges and collisions, and finally covered the miracle of the whole field of music, many classical and modern music masters were defeated, but the ghost master Anthony was a step ahead, and pointed out the young and vigorous Oriental girl, so that she would come back in three years...... However, he died the following year. ”

"It's a pity, for Da Luqu, for us, we lost a pinnacle collision. ”

In the conversation of foreigners, Anthony is called by master, and Qu Qingge is called by her surname and country name, similar to Qiaotou Zhang and Zhenguanxi...... In person, they don't and don't dare to say that.

A small number of Chinese people formed a small circle of their own, and when they heard such a back, they all had bad expressions, and some young people said in imperial Chinese: "Foreigners are arrogant!"

"You have to allow the nouveau riche to swell...... Even if 3,000 years of history are excellent for most of the time. An old man reminisced, paused for crutches, and sighed: "But, who told us that we are falling behind?"

"Twenty years ago, guns and firecrackers defeated fireworks, industrial weaving defeated silk, and Tianzhu black tea defeated oriental green tea...... After gaining comprehensive advantages in military, economy and culture, Marco Polo's travels once looked up to and envied the Eastern Empire, which quickly turned into overlook and disdain. ”

"Music is the way to go...... this road. The old man took off his monocle, wiped it with a soft cloth, and put it back on: "Qu is only good at this, she has surpassed the limit, but unfortunately the influence of music itself has a limit." ”

The situation in the small dance hall has become different from the previous day, if Qu Qingge's piano performance is as clear as water, making people forget about race and country, sitting together in a staggered manner, only music is left in the world, and at this time, although the violin performance is gorgeous and elegant, its influence is gradually becoming clear to foreigners and Chinese.

Therefore, the complaint cannot be transmitted to the other side, even if these foreigners on the ship know that their level and achievements are only the level of ordinary people, and they are not enough to influence the world like Qu Qingge and are destined to leave a name in history, but it does not prevent them from being proud of being a civilized white man, and gain a psychological advantage that looks down on her - look, you barbaric native of the Lu country.

It is like the eyes of the master who looks at the troubadour who came to his house, and thinks that if so-and-so music master does not die, he can definitely teach this "more and more arrogant" oriental woman a lesson again.

Anthony was praised higher after his death, and the most amazing thing is that the more Qu Qingge's strength increases, the more popular the version of the record that he defeated Qu Qingge when he was a girl, and the cumulative sales have reached one million copies...... Even Qu Qingge's own single record has not reached this figure, making Anthony the first person to be honored.

The subtle self-esteem psychology in this is self-evident, as if the nouveau riche wants to show off, but he rubs and rubs people on the ground, how can he slap a swollen face and become fat, and he doesn't admit that he can't do it, and Anthony just meets the conditions, and he will not be slapped in the face if he is a dead person.

And there are not a few clever musicians who have changed their name to Anthony for this purpose, and they usually win the instinctive favor of their listeners, such as the current violinist.

"I always feel like his violin is shining......"

"This ship is really a wheel of luck, with great music on a succession. ”

"Don't you think his flesh is more wonderful?"

Several noble ladies in their thirties stared at the handsome appearance and slender figure of the little fresh meat, and said indulgingly, like a she-wolf seeing a lamb and smiling with each other, and there was a tacit understanding.

............

Yang, Liu, and Lin hid in Ji Lun's room to eat a lunch, and when little Helen brought lunch for the teacher, she gave them an extra one.

At that time, the situation was like this, the blonde Lori held a large plate of rich food in each hand, raised to chest height like a warrior monk holding a bucket of water for exercise, and when she walked through the corridors and stairs with a blank face, there was a little white cat squatting on her beanie, walking on the thick carpet with a quiet and silent aura, so that everyone who passed by and met her was shocked...... completely shattered the image of a good student and musical loli that Qu Qingge created for her three days ago.

"Teacher. She placed a large dinner plate on Guillen's table and paused to see what he was writing...... I don't know any of them.,Frustratedly gave a dinner plate to the three young people who stacked the bed on the other side.,There's no words.,Even if the other party is grateful.,Little Lori won't give these strangers who disturbed her and the teacher a good face.。

Then she went out and gently closed the door, and little Helen took the little white cat squatting on the hat above her head, and her shoulders slackened, and then she left in the corridor with the cat...... The teacher still did not teach her the most anticipated Chinese, but taught her practical lessons on ships and navigation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to observe on the ship, she had to go to the steam engine room, transmission room, wheelhouse, hydrological room, telegraph room, signal watchtower and other functional areas of the ship during the day for internship...... They taught without reservation, and little Helen worked hard to learn, and in a few days the actual sailing skills had surpassed those who lacked practical skills in the Naval Ship School.

The side effect is that the literacy of these low-level personnel cannot be counted on, so that little Helen's national curse vocabulary is rapidly enriched.

After little Helen left, the young men ate and continued to sit in the lower bunks of their stacked beds, holding a route map that Guillen had drawn from memory last night and then provided to them, as a reference for their escape: "The pursuers should follow the boat on the shore, and they cannot hide it during the day." ”

"At night, you have to get off the boat and escape in the night. Liu Qingming held a glass of water and said in thought.

The young man surnamed Lin was holding a piece of dry bread and was vague: "There just happened to be a concert on board." ”

"These foreigners are drunk and golden......" The young man surnamed Yang looked disdainful, but he couldn't hide a trace of jealousy and envy, and took a bite of fried chicken...... His eyes were still on the plate on Guillen's table.

In the midst of the discussion, Guillen sat at his desk with his back to them, writing on paper, not interested in touching the lunch plate on the table, and his body was damaged for three years, causing many functional effects, including the blunting of hunger.

The spirit was completely focused on the words on the paper, turning a few books on the table as references from time to time, adding a few hand-drawn illustrations, and finally using the stapler borrowed by the small librarian on the ship, bound into a booklet, and handed it to Liu Qingming: "Take it, I'll return the book...... I might soak in the library for an afternoon, and I asked little Helen to deliver dinner, so I won't come out to send you out. ”

Liu Qingming said again and again, feeling that this was the last conversation of separation, and he might never have the opportunity to meet this respectable person in the future, and hesitated to speak: "Xiaoxia told me that the doctor told me - your body needs to rest more." ”

"But you didn't say that your brain needs to rest, right?" Ji Lun patted him on the shoulder and pushed open the door of the room: "You also eat the lunch on the table, don't waste it." ”

As soon as the door was closed, the young man surnamed Yang threw himself on the table, while the young man surnamed Lin was obsessed with the map, and saw Liu Qingming handing over the pamphlet in the middle of the ring, and looked confused: "What is this?"

Liu Qingming opened it to show them, and a bunch of mathematical formulas and maps popped out at the beginning, which made people stunned, followed by dense text explanations, and finally a white envelope.

"What is this?password?message?" The young man surnamed Yang asked, holding a grilled fish.

Liu Qingming put away the booklet: "It's not a password, it's some water charts and shipping calculations, the trade of coastal port cities - there are ready-made formulas for us to calculate, and a letter of recommendation from the old captain, he predicts the next wave of Nanyang rubber, buy short and sell short...... It provides three sets of operations for the official transportation and smuggling of goods, the dismantling of commercial banks, and the Shilitan Exchange, according to which the first pot of gold can be quickly accumulated before the transoceanic cycle of foreigners. ”

The young man surnamed Lin was slightly stunned: "Are you saying that if he has money, he won't earn it, but he will earn it for you?"

The young man surnamed Yang didn't believe it either, and was a little jealous: "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Didn't he prompt him in the morning? You don't go with me to the captain and the first mate, you see that the little girls are trying to follow along, and she has even learned the tricks of smuggling in the lessons I attended with the captain when she was there. ”

Liu Qingming said patiently and euphemistically, just leave the opportunity to name only those who are prepared, so that the little girl understands the simple truth, and sees that the two companions still don't understand...... Finally disappointed, he was ruthless, and followed the routine taught by Ji Lun: "Part of the money is to share the profits with the captain group, and cooperate with them in the name of our Shenzhou Society, and most of the net profit must be handed over to the society, and the small part will be our activity funds." ”

The young man surnamed Lin was moved and said: "This is not good, I privately intercepted ...... under the banner of the society."

The young man surnamed Yang looked right: "It's good, we have suffered a lot of losses, and we also need activity funds to contact newcomers, so what about the credit?"

Liu Qingming remained silent: "The credit is all yours, I don't want anything, to prove that I am not shaken, but the premise is - we have to work hard to get things done, otherwise everything is utopian, right?"

"Yes, yes!" The two companions nodded one after another, expressing their full release of their previous suspicions and obeying Liu Qingming's command: "Next, we will listen to you, Yang Liulin's name will definitely spread all over the Shenzhou Society!"

When they went to take out the garbage with the food scraps, Liu Qingming leaned back in his chair weakly, and the intrigue with his companions was completely unfamiliar to this upright northern man, and it was even more difficult than killing two enemies, and he exhaled haggardly: "It's all right for him...... Why don't such strong people join our Shenzhou Society to kill foreigners together?" )
