"Wait, Calderón. Mayor Santos sounded strange, "The maid mortgaged you, and you can't be her master, why don't you let Mr. Marquis redeem it?"

Calderon asked rhetorically, "What do you think is wrong?"

"The maid spoken of by His Excellency the Marquis, in his kingdom, should mean a slave girl, so he regarded it as his personal property. Santos said sternly, "But the times are advancing, civilization is developing, and we have abolished slavery in Mexico a long time ago, if that young lady is in your hands, you can't treat her as a private property, what's the point of keeping it in your hands?"

What Mr. Santos meant was that the maid as property could only be held up to the Marquis of the East, and you could only see if it was a piece of his collateral or whether it would be worth redeeming him.

The Marquis praised, "Slavery has been abolished in Mexico, and half of the land in the United States still has black slaves, which cannot be compared." ”

"Of course. Santos smiled and said, "Americans are actually hillbillies, and their civility is very low." ”

"And these hillbillies also like to make a name for themselves. Calderón said, "Don't look at their declaration of independence, it's great to talk about human rights, in fact, only white people are the real masters of the United States." And on our Mexican soil, you can run no matter what race you are. ”

The Marquis nodded. A dozen years later, Mexico had a native Indian as president. As for the United States, it was more than 40 consecutive presidents who were all white, just waiting until the next century. finally came out with a president who looked black, but in fact he was also a mulatto.

However, Mexico is far ahead of the Americans on the road to democracy and human rights. In later generations, it has never entered the ranks of the Da, and has been reduced to a country with chaotic law and order and rampant drugs.

"Since the times are advancing, civilization is unfolding. His Excellency the Marquis looked shocked, "Then I can't mortgage the maid to you?"

"No, no, no. Calderon hurriedly said, "Your Excellency the Marquis, your maid is definitely worth thirty thousand silver dollars. It can be mortgaged to us. ”

The marquis said suspiciously, "But you can't own slaves, why did you just say that you can't redeem them?"

"Because times are advancing. Civilization is on display. Calderon said, "If the Marquis fails to redeem your maid after the gamble, we will give the young lady freedom. ”

Mr. Santos looked at his buddy inexplicably, and Senator Miriam stabbed him. Said slowly. "Calderón isn't married yet. ”

Oh, the mayor suddenly understood, this old brother had this thought.

In Mr. Calderon's opinion, no matter how much the Marquis of Siberia wanted to mortgage with the maid, it was a matter of no matter, and he would be able to win it back at the table anyway.

When His Excellency the Marquis is gone, he will immediately tell this young lady that you are free. Then very politely sent her back to the Mexican Palace. I went back and asked friends in the political circles to help me promote the adoption of His Majesty the Emperor and his wife.

Person. The most precious thing is freedom. Calderon felt that she would be very grateful to herself that she had rescued the young lady from the fire pit and had helped her to gain an honorable position. I occupy such a good opportunity, I can invite her to date from time to time, as long as I am willing to invest time and money, there is a good chance that I can conclude a beautiful marriage.

He is a person with status, even if slavery is allowed in Mexico, it is impossible to marry a maid, but if he marries a Mexican princess, it is no longer a good thing to do, and it is also beneficial to his family. And this period of communication is both legendary and romantic, but also decent, and it is the most beautiful love process for the upper class.

As for the integrity of whether His Excellency the Marquis of Siberia will repay the debt if the collateral is gone, then let him go, don't care.

Mr. Calderón thought about it and felt that he had thought it through. In Mexico City, there are no young talents who can compete with him, and his two friends already have families, and each other's families also have common interests, and they will do their best to help him marry the "princess" of his country.

The two friends also tacitly smiled at Mr. Calderón and expressed their full support.

They thought to themselves, this time we helped you rescue the future Mexican princess, and she will naturally be grateful to us. After you get married, there is a certain itch of the year, and then take the opportunity to enter, and it may not be the opportunity to loosen the corner and have an extramarital affair with the princess.

After all, the times are advancing, civilization is developing, for the upper class, if there is no extramarital affair, can it still be called a fulfilling life?

His Excellency the Marquis looked at the three, "Since you have agreed, I will call the maid over." ”

Calderon smiled, "There's no need to be in a hurry. ”

"How can we not be in a hurry, with collateral we can gamble as much as possible." The Marquis turned his head and ordered, "Colonel Ling, you hurry up and go to the palace and bring people over." ”

Calderon hurriedly said, "Mr. Colonel, when you arrive at the palace, you should have invited that young lady over, and you must be polite and show the demeanor of a superior person. ”

The Marquis muttered, "What kind of demeanor do you want for a maid?"

When several gentlemen saw his attitude, they were a little unhappy.

Then he heard the Marquis say, "Before my maid comes, we might as well have a few drinks and beat the time." ”

Calderonchi, "You still want to drink?"

Before, in the gambling house, it felt like you were already drunk, and if you drank again, you should lie down.

"Why can't you drink it, are you reluctant to take out the good wine?"

"How can I be reluctant, the wine in my cellar can be drunk enough by His Excellency the Marquis. ”

Calderón, of course, doesn't mind him drinking too much, a person who can't gamble money, is still an alcoholic, naturally the more drunk he gets, the faster he loses.

The four of them tasted the wine, and His Excellency the Marquis said that he would drink a few glasses casually, but as he drank it, he had unconsciously poured a few bottles of red wine into his stomach.

Santos frowned, "Your Excellency Marquis, if you drink it again, if you get drunk later, how can we gamble?"

"It's fine. The Marquis said with a big tongue, "Raise the stakes later, and it doesn't matter if you bet to 10,000 in a round." I think my gambling luck is about to come to me. ”

Calderon laughed, "You can bet as much as you want, it comes so quickly, it's the true nature of a hero." ”

"Childe, I've taken Miss Izumi over. ”

The Marquis of Siberia nodded, and then planned to sue the maid, who had taken her as collateral. But he was drunk at this time, and spoke incoherently for a while, but he didn't say why.

The Colonel coughed, "Childe, I already told Miss Izumi what was going on the way. ”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, what a waste of my time. ”

The marquis rolled his eyes at him, and then said to the maid, "You understand now, do you have any opinions?"

The maid's face was very pale, "I listen to the master as soon as I go." ”

When Calderon saw the young lady's haggard look and sad countenance, he was so unbearable that he wanted to say to her on the spot, "You will soon be free."

He struggled to compose himself and took a deep breath, "Your Excellency the Marquis, let's continue to gamble." ”

"Good. The Marquis nodded, "Start immediately." ”

Under this round of cards, the stakes were doubled compared to the previous ones, and they were really increased to more than 10,000.

After opening the hole cards, the Marquis suddenly smiled, "My gambling luck really came, and I made a flush!"

Calderon was angry and amused, "Your Excellency the Marquis, take a closer look. ”

"What's wrong?" said the Marquis, looking at the five cards with drunken eyes, "It's all black, it's a flush." ”

The admiral reminded in a low voice, "Childe, your cards are three clubs and two spades." ”

"What!" the Marquis looked shocked, "you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Childe, how could I lie to you?" the colonel sighed helplessly, "Your gambling luck has not improved at all, and the gambling book borrowed from 30,000 yuan was thrown away at once. ”

The young marquis was also deflated, "It turns out that my gambling luck has not come. ”

"Let's stop betting, it's too late to stop. ”

"But I've mortgaged her. The marquis pointed to his maid, "Stop at this time, do you want to cut off a third of her and take two-thirds back?"

Calderon panicked and hurriedly shook his hand, "Your Excellency Marquis, you are drunk, you can't have such thoughts!"

Mayor Santos also said, "As I said before, you must win happily if you win, and you must lose completely if you lose, and you can't give up halfway." ”

"I'm still unlucky, and I'm so drunk that I can't even read the cards. His Excellency the Marquis seemed to have lost his interest, and his face was also very distressed, and he suddenly pointed at the maid, "Come here!"

The maids all came over obediently.

"Your own destiny is up to you. The marquis pushed the cards towards her, "Then you will finish the bet for me, young master, I will go to sleep for a while." ”

With that, he ran to an empty sand beside him, lay down on it, and fell asleep.

The three gentlemen looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

The maid was still standing at the table, not daring to move.

"So be it. After a few minutes, Calderón finally spoke, "We'll wait for His Excellency the Marquis to wake up before we finish the gamble." ”

"Since my son-in-law said to let Miss Quan gamble for him, there is no problem. The admiral said, "Moreover, Childe does not know when he will wake up, but His Majesty the Emperor wants Miss Quan to go back as much as possible." ”

"It seems that it is indeed necessary to hurry. Mayor Santos agreed with the Colonel, "So, will Miss Quan play Texas Hold'em?"

"She won't. "But the rules of Texas Hold'em are very simple, you can teach her on the spot." ”

"......" (To be continued......)
