Chapter 710: The People of a Great Country
The dark little gothic maid stood on the deck of the Daming treasure ship, pinching the skirt with both hands, and performed an extremely perfect and elegant curtsy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Seventh sister, what do you think of my aristocratic style?"
"Looks pretty good. The black-shirted boy looked the girl up and down, shook the folding fan gently, and said slowly, "It's a pity, it's just that the breasts are a little smaller." β
The tenth sister's expression suddenly turned into a kaleidoscope, and in an instant, she didn't know how many wonderful changes she deduced, and it took a while to barely recover, and she said in a whisper, "Hui Gongzi, it should be like this at my age, otherwise it will become a seedling to grow." β
"Really?" Ji Moli didn't bother with it, and said with a smile, "You have done well enough, and it is really not appropriate to make things difficult for you anymore." β
The tenth sister tried hard to squeeze out a smile, "Thank you for your generosity, little maid is grateful." β
"But with your delicate appearance and cumbersome demeanor, do you still have combat effectiveness at all?"
"Don't worry, Childe, I've prepared a big killing weapon, and it's not a problem to kill a thousand people. β
"Good. Ji Moli glanced at her again, "May I ask the girl's name, how do you call it?"
"Childe, you call me Luna. β
"Why is it a foreign name?"
The tenth sister was stunned for a moment, "Childe, I am a foreign maid, of course I have to use a foreign name, this is very reasonable, right?"
Ji Moli said lightly, "However, this son doesn't like these foreign names, since you come to China, you should follow the customs of the countryside and take a Chinese name." β
"Oooh. The tenth sister nodded obediently, "Actually, Luna means the moon, if the son doesn't dislike it, you can call me Xiaoyue." β
"So Miss Xiaoyue, what is your salary?"
"Huh?" said the tenth sister puzzled, "Childe, what do you ask about the salary, I don't need money to serve you." β
"How can this not cost money?" Ji Moli's face straightened, "If this son uses a free cheap maid, how can he show his noble identity?"
The tenth sister coughed, "Childe doesn't have to care, the spirit of volunteer service is more admired by the world, love and justice are the most precious sentiments in the world." β
Ji Moliqi said, "You serve me, how can it involve love and justice?"
The maid said, "Since Childe came to Songjiang at this time, I think he also participated in the organization of the upcoming Transnational Friendship Games?"
"Exactly. β
"The main purpose of such an international sports meeting is to promote peace and fraternity among mankind, and it is full of love and justice. The tenth sister said with a serious face, "And I am one of the volunteers of this sports meeting, of course, I have to provide volunteer services to important people like Childe." During this Games, except for the guests related to the Games, no matter who they are or what price they use, they will not be able to hire me. β
"I see. Ji Moli showed a sense of understanding and said with a smile, "Then thank you for the priceless volunteer service provided by Miss Xiaoyue." β
The tenth sister said happily, "Since the son has accepted my service, please take the little maid with you and enjoy the scenery of Songjiang." β
"Son, I can't help it!" At this moment, several Confucian dressers hurried over and dissuaded them.
The tenth sister swept her eyes casually, and could see that these four bodies were not diligent, and they all had no skills, and they were by no means coachmen, cooks, guards, etc., but those literati who usually helped out in the homes of the rich and noble, commonly known as Qingke.
Ji Moli smiled, "What do you mean?"
These Qingke said, "The prince is in a high position, and today he changed his travel plan, and he only brought such a little girl, what kind of system did he become?"
"Yes, with such a young and clumsy yellow-haired girl, is she serving the princess, or is the princess taking care of her?"
"What's more, the safety of the prince is extremely important, if you meet any bad people during the trip, this girl will not only be useless, but also add a big burden to the princess. β
"Besides, when the prince is accompanied by a naΓ―ve girl who has no knowledge at all, when he makes friends and knows Songjiang Junjie, how can he set off the prince's literary style and grace?"
......
The tenth sister couldn't help frowning, and she couldn't listen to it anymore. You helpers, you can't go out with your son to fill the faΓ§ade, and you are unwilling to do it, but you still dare to demean Miss Ben?
"That's enough!" the maid said coldly, "Just you waste, what's the use of the prince taking you out?"
Several Qingke were stunned for a moment, and then they were furious, "In front of us, how can you speak alone!"
"All people are created equal, this is the most basic human right, how can there be any division between the superior and the inferior?" the tenth sister took it for granted, and then sighed long, "I almost forgot, this is the norm of a civilized country, and you are still a barbaric and backward country, so of course you don't know these truths." β
The Qingke was even more angry, "You say we are barbaric and backward?"
"Hey, forcibly treating people as having a hierarchy of high and low, not knowing what human rights are, not knowing what equality is, not knowing what freedom is, not knowing what democracy is, and completely failing to keep up with the trend of world development, what is this not barbaric backwardness?"
The tenth sister said solemnly, "Because of barbarism and backwardness, you have no competitiveness at all in the forest of nations in the world, and now you and other countries are being bullied in front of the powerful countries, and this is the root cause." β
"You ......"
"There are problems with your system, customs, culture, history, in short, there is no place in the whole body from head to toe that is not a problem, the so-called thousands of years of ancient history, in fact, is just full of cannibalism, doomed to the fate of decline and destruction. The tenth sister's voice changed, and she said compassionately, "In short, everything in your nation needs to be overthrown and defeated, please invite Mr. Laide and Mr. Sai to Westernize it all, and it is best to abolish the square words and replace them with pinyin annotations, so that there may be a glimmer of life." β
Although the ideas of this movement are not without extremes, but it was the theme of the times, and there are countless people with lofty ideals who have explored the way to save the country.
After occupying the overwhelming upper hand, the tenth sister was still unsatisfied, "Songjiang is not as good as the capital, but an international metropolis, the prince came out of the decay and old base camp, should breathe fresh air, absorb advanced ideas, and bring you old antiques and old fashion, what is the use of communication? And to learn a developed civilization, you must follow the mainstream etiquette of the West, your Confucian system that has been eliminated by history is not elegant, of course, it is the right way to use a maid like me who represents the demeanor of a world-class high aristocracy." β
A Qingke said angrily, "No matter how nice it sounds, you also know that you are just a maid, if the prince does not take us, how can he show his elegance and luxury?"
"Therefore, you do not know at all what equality and freedom are, and the maid is only a difference in social profession, and her personality is not weaker than that of any other citizen. The tenth sister sneered, "And I, as a citizen of the British Empire, although I work as a maid, I am much more noble than any of you in a backward country. β
Strictly speaking, "British Empire" is not a strict title, the territory of the British Isles has always been only a kingdom, even if Britain occupies India, it only makes the British king and emperor of India, not Britain elevated to an empire, at most the vague term "empire on which the sun never sets" can be used. But the tenth sister is pretending at this time, the "British Empire" sounds so lofty, of course, it should be used as a cannonball to despise the opponent.
"How can this be reasonable!" these Qingke were naturally unconvinced, "How can there be such a statement?"
"You are really pitiful, haven't you even heard the folk proverb of a first-class foreigner and a second-class official?" the tenth sister sighed, "Without the strength of the country, there is no personal dignity." We, the ordinary people of the British Empire, also have the bearing of an emperor, and are completely superior to you by 108,000 miles. β
"Is this all?"
"Don't you believe me, then you can listen to me!"
"For every Englishman, the plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest areas; Australia has our sheep pastures; Peru sends silver, South Africa and Australian gold flows to London; Indians and Chinese grow tea for us, and our coffee, sugar cane and spice plantations are all over the East Indies." Our cotton has long been cultivated in the southern United States and has now expanded to every warm region of the planet. β
This famous quote in history not only expresses the pride and self-confidence of the British people at that time, but also reflects Britain's status as the world's center of production, trade, finance and world market. Now the Ten Sisters are exercising the true power of the family, using a magical effect similar to the roar of a lion, and the sound waves are tumbling and rolling between the sky and the waves, as if the gods are spreading their voices outside the universe, and for the listeners, they only feel a burst of majesty and majesty, and they are deafening.
After a thunderous sound from outside the sky, several Qingke's faces turned pale and crumbling, as if their minds had been completely shocked, and they could no longer speak half a sentence.
The tenth sister was proud: With you scumbags, you dare to compete in front of this girl!
She felt that she had won a big victory, so she suddenly regained her gentle and frugal expression, "A few ministers are not good-looking, and they want to travel long distances and are not accustomed to the water and soil, please go back to the cabin to recuperate with peace of mind, don't fall into the root of the disease." β
"And slowly!" One breathed and said hard, "Since you are a citizen of the British Empire, nobler than us Chinese, that is, nobler than Gongziye, how dare we afford to use you?"
Oh, and a counterattack?
The tenth sister raised her eyebrows, and said unhurriedly, "Gongzi is also a noble citizen of the British Empire, so he can naturally use me." β
Zhong Qingke's face was shocked, "What?"
Seeing that the seventh sister did not react, the tenth sister was determined, shook her head and said, "You are really all frogs in the well, and you don't know that in this world, the important dignitaries of various countries usually have a number of passports, which is convenient for them to transfer property, evade taxes, collude with internal and external, and take political refuge......"
Ji Moli's eyes widened, "What did you say?"
"Childe forgive me, I said it wrong. "I mean, with a multinational passport, you can easily collect intelligence, buy and sell arms, sabotage finance, assassinate dignitaries, and support the revolution against enemy countries...... and other important work to help safeguard national interests to the greatest extent. β
Several Qing guests glanced at each other, and suddenly bowed to Ji Moli in unison, "Childe-"
Ji Moli didn't know why, "What's the matter with the princes?"
"I also hope that the prince will remember me and others have always been diligent and diligent, pointing out a clear way to obtain a passport from an ally. β
Ji Moli was surprised, "Why did the princes suddenly ask for this?"
A few people muttered, "I can't hide it, I just listened to this foreign girl's wise words, and finally understood that as a member of the people of the British Empire, I can raise my eyebrows and be confident and self-reliant in international occasions." We admire this broad road in our hearts, and I hope that the prince will give it a convenience. β
The tenth sister was stunned, is this all my fault?
In fact, you yourself have the potential to be compradors, so you will be tempted when you hear it.
Ji Moli said with a smile, "Since the princes have a wish, naturally there is no way, and we will discuss it when I return." β
All the Qing guests were overjoyed, thanked them again and again, and then retreated.
Ji Moli looked at the maid, "Your eloquence is good." β
The tenth sister smiled cautiously, "Childe has won the prize." β
"What you said is also the first word, in this way, if my son meets a foreigner, won't he be inferior?"
"Childe rest assured. The tenth sister promised, "No matter what foreigners we meet, we can despise them, and some of them are routines." β
Ji Moli nodded.
