Chapter 77 Reunion(1/2)
Troubling things came one after another. Before Peggy's affairs could be settled, Queen Catherine sent someone to invite her again.
"Let Mr. Guard Chief come in." Brauchitsch shook his head helplessly and ordered the butler to invite the people in.
"Yes!" The butler nodded and went out.
"Peggy's matter hasn't been settled yet, so you can't go to the Winter Palace." The lady muttered in a tearful tone.
"Oh! Just wait for a moment, I know what to say." Brauchitsch pushed his wife out helplessly.
The butler led the chief of bodyguards in. Catherine's chief of bodyguards was actually a Prussian.
He is Ekaterina's distant nephew and has won Ekaterina's trust. This is the first time he has come to Brauchitsch's house.
"Hello, Mr. Chief of Guards." Brauchitsch forced a smile and asked the Chief of Guards to sit down.
"Count Brauchitsch, the Queen wants to see you. You come with me to the Winter Palace now."
"Winter Palace? What happened?" Brauchitsch finally realized that the captain of the guard was talking about going to the Winter Palace.
The Winter Palace is the place where the royal family takes emergency refuge in case of emergencies. Why not stay in the Kremlin instead of going to the Winter Palace.
"I don't know about this. Her Majesty the Queen just asked me to invite you to the Winter Palace. Now, can we leave?"
According to Catherine's instructions, Brauchitsch must be politely invited to the Winter Palace.
"But...!" Brauchitsch felt that something must have happened, but Peggy's whereabouts were still unknown.
"Count Brauchitsch, Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to ask you to come to the Winter Palace immediately. Please don't delay!"
The captain of the guard opened his mouth, blocking all the rest of Brauchitsch's words.
"Okay! Okay!" Brauchitsch heard that unquestionable tone.
"Butler, if you have any news about Peggy, you must call me immediately to the Winter Palace to inform me.
If you are really kidnapped by robbers, you will give them whatever they want. As long as they don't hurt Peggy, do you understand?"
He couldn't count on his nagging wife, and now all Brauchitsch could count on was the old housekeeper who had been following him for many years.
"I know, sir!"
"I'll be back as soon as possible." He patted the butler on the shoulder.
Brauchitsch did not dare to delay, so he went out with the captain of the guard, got on the carriage and went straight to the Winter Palace.
On the way, Brauchitsch kept looking back at his home, still worried about Peggy's whereabouts.
Brauchitsch never dreamed that Peggy, whom he was worried about, was sitting in the palace of the Ming Dynasty Marshal eating a delicious lunch.
Pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, this is a dish that Peggy has never eaten before.
Vermicelli was not available in Russia. She couldn't figure out why the noodles were slippery, and this stuff... seemed to be very different from the noodles she ate.
"Have you never eaten vermicelli?" Li Lin picked up the vermicelli with chopsticks and put it on the rice, looking at Peggy who couldn't figure out how to eat vermicelli.
Peggy looked at Li Lin with envy. She didn't understand how Daming was able to do such a difficult thing with two bamboo sticks.
She thinks chopsticks are very magical, and even suspects that these two little things have magical powers.
In the hands of Ming people, this thing became very magical.
The knife, fork and part of the spoon function, Peggy tried it out and felt that this thing was definitely not something she could control.
"No! However, I have noodles to eat at home." Peggy was very proud.
hang……!
Li Lin was speechless!
Noodles have become so stinky in the Ming Dynasty that even the gluttonous children in the capital are unwilling to eat them.
They prefer to eat cooked instant noodles.
Breakfast for many children is just one or two bags of instant noodles, usually with an egg added for nutritional supplements.
But in Russia, noodles are a solid and good thing.
I haven't even seen anyone else.
That is to say, Brauchitsch had a high position and was a count, so the family could exchange some noodles for cooking in the hands of Ming soldiers.
Li Lin didn't say anything, and Zhao Liangdong, who was eating at the same table, took over: "No one eats dried noodles in Daming.
People in the capital like to eat hand-made noodles, and they even order noodles from Shanxi or Shandong, saying they are stronger.
People from Shandong and Hebei prefer to eat steamed buns.
If you arrive in Shanxi, you will be in trouble. Half a bowl of vinegar must be added to a bowl of noodles, so it tastes...!"
Perhaps thinking of the power of Shanxi mature vinegar, Zhao Liangdong shook his head vigorously.
"I've also eaten instant noodles." Peggy looked proud.
Instant noodles are more expensive than dried noodles in Russia and are basically a luxury product.
The reason is very simple. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also like to eat instant noodles and are not very willing to exchange instant noodles for other things.
There is less circulation in the market, so the price will naturally be higher.
Li Lin looked helplessly at this silly girl. The largest shareholder of instant noodles was Huniu.
Dad met Zhao Liangdong last night and spoke highly of Zhao Liangdong.
The marriage between Huniu and Hu Niu is basically settled.
Therefore, the Daming Instant Noodles Factory became part of Zhao Liangdong’s family.
Peggy has given up on the spoon and uses a fork to deal with the vermicelli.
This girl was also considered smart. With two forks, she put the vermicelli into her bowl.
Then press a fork and spin it in a circle, and soon the vermicelli will wrap around the fork obediently.
When the vermicelli became tangled into a lump, Peggy put the fork directly into her mouth.
"You ran away from home like this. Isn't your father anxious? Give him a call later and reassure him." Li Lin said while eating.
"No!" Peggy inserted a piece of pork and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were as bulging as a squirrel's, and her speech was slurred.
Last night, Peggy, who has always been quiet and reserved, made a bold decision.
She called Li Lin and lied that her father was going to give her to Rasputin and asked Li Lin to rescue him.
Li Lin didn't have the slightest fondness for Rasputin.
After receiving Peggy's call for help, Li Lin sent a few good men to secretly take Peggy out of Brauchitsch's house.
Peggy didn't know why she made this call, maybe it was a form of rebellion against her father and mother.
Growing up, my sister Angelina was the center of the family.
Good food, fun, nice clothes, and even pretty maids, all have to be kept close to my sister.
Peggy is like a little transparent person who is often ignored.
Knowing that she could not compete with her sister since she was a child, Peggy could only spend a lot of time in books.
I followed my father to learn the Ming language. I read a lot of Russian books and a lot of books written by Ming people.
She even taught herself the multiplication table after seeing Ming Dynasty's mathematics textbook.
The culture of Ming Dynasty opened a grand door in front of Peggy.
It was a dazzlingly brilliant civilization, and their history was as vast as the Volga River.
Peggy is deeply impressed by Ming culture!
And she also had an inexplicable feeling towards Li Lin!
He rescued her twice at the most dangerous time. In Peggy's eyes, Li Lin, who was not very tall, was so tall.
She wanted to stay with Li Lin, and she wanted to visit the great country of Ming Dynasty.
As for marrying this man, Peggy had not thought about it.
After all, Brauchitsch was a count and had a mirror at home.
Regardless of the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty or the Russians, she is not beautiful, and can even be said to be a little ugly.
"Then what will you do in the future? You can't live in the camp." Zhao Liangdong was dealing with a large piece of spine.
This guy also uses chopsticks to poke out the bones and eat them.
"What? No? I can work for you to support myself." Peggy also followed Zhao Liangdong's example, grabbed a piece of ribs and started to chew.
Facts have once again proved that it is not easy to learn well, but it is easy to learn bad things.
In just one meal, the lady, who had been educated by the nobility for more than ten years, had already begun to grab the bones with her hands and gnaw them.
"I said Miss Peggy, you...what can you do?
This is the camp, the headquarters of the Ming army, and the military camp.
It’s just your shoulders that can’t be lifted by hands…!”
