After just a brief meeting, Xia Shang felt that the purpose of this group of Westerners was not simple. Fortunately, no matter what their purpose was, they would not threaten Dahua for at least one or two hundred years, so they didn't think too much about it.
The Westerner led the way and introduced everything on the ship to everyone as he walked. However, the Chinese he spoke was a bit tight and it sounded very difficult. But everything on the ship was novel to everyone who had just arrived, so everyone could understand it.
I was enjoying it and looked around from time to time.
Only Xia Shang had an indifferent expression, unmoved by everything on the ship.
For Xia Shang, this ship was undoubtedly a failed work. It was like a product completed for evolution in the industrial era. The mixed structure of the two materials was a bit weird. There was definitely a problem with its stability.
It didn't take long for the Westerners to lead everyone down from the deck and into a huge inner cabin. There was a wake-up staircase going directly down. Inside was an empty hall that could accommodate three hundred people. It was like many lofts built on land.
It's not of such a scale, it's hard to imagine that such a space would appear on a ship.
For a moment, everyone accompanying him was shocked and sighed.
“What a marvelous workmanship!”
"This...how is this done?"
The leading Westerner was somewhat proud and explained: "Don't be surprised, friends, this is just a very ordinary ship we built. In our country, the ships used by the royal family have as much interior space as this
Three times, the hull is also much larger than the current one."
"Hey! Is there a bigger ship than this?"
"Friends, this is for sure. Our country's manufacturing technology is very advanced, but there are not enough manpower, not enough materials, and there are not enough rivers to accommodate larger ships. According to your words, it is a retreat.
The next best thing is to build such a small boat."
"Is this a small boat? These Westerners really have such a strong tone." Someone muttered unhappily.
But no one can refute it, after all, everything in front of them is so real.
Under the cabin is a huge banquet venue, everything is arranged according to Dahua's favorite style, but the cabin has a Western flavor, and the combination is a bit nondescript.
There are many people sitting below, and there is a large stage directly in front. Except for Prince Li Xin sitting in the center, there are also a group of Westerners sitting next to him, all wearing the costumes of Western nobles.
Xia Shang was standing on the wake of the stairs going down, and he saw a Western lady with a sign in the front of the group of Western men, an oval lace, and a white fireworks on the top of the hat, which was quite medieval style.
However, the hat blocked the appearance of the woman sitting there, but she could see her signature golden curly hair and she was also wearing a snow-white princess dress, which made her particularly conspicuous among the crowd.
"Look, there's a blonde woman down there."
"Oh my god, it's really golden hair!"
Soon, that woman attracted everyone's attention, and there were more and more comments.
The Westerner who led the way said: "Everyone, please pay attention to your words and deeds. That is our most noble Princess Sophia. In our country, her status is the same as your prince."
"What? Your country allows a woman to be the crown prince? How... is this inappropriate?"
The Westerners smiled disdainfully and did not explain.
At least they knew the identity of the woman, and no one dared to discuss it any more.
But Li Zijin was a bit unhappy: "That princess is too presumptuous, she even wears white flowers."
"This is the custom of the Western royal family. You don't need to pay attention to such trivial details." Xia Shang said calmly.
"This is also a custom. Westerners find it really strange."
While he was talking, everyone had already arrived under the cabin.
Li Zijin was feeling depressed all the way, and he quickly ran to Li Xin in the center without caring about the eyes of the people around him. He didn't know what he said.
There were many places below, and Mrs. Sai took Xia Shang and Li Youlan to the most inconspicuous place in the rear.
Just as a few people left, another person sat down next to Li Youlan: "Li Youlan, I haven't seen you for a month. Your injury has improved, and you can travel now!"
Her voice was mocking. Li Youlan looked sideways and her expression changed: "Fu Qianqian..."
Fu Qianqian was wearing a bright red dress, very gorgeous, but her cold eyes made her look like a rose frozen in an iceberg.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not a man-eating monster. I'm here alone today, and on such an important occasion, I won't do anything to you. Moreover, I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges between you and me.
There are no special holidays. Now I just want to ask, how is your book boy? Is he okay?"
"Xia Hui? Fu Qianqian, why are you having trouble with a little book boy?"
"Hehehe... Who said I would have trouble with him? I just wanted to ask, where is he now and how is he doing?"
Li Youlan secretly took a look at Fu Qianqian's eyes, and felt relieved when she found that the other person didn't seem to realize that the man in splendid clothes and jade belt next to her was the scholar Xia Hui.
"He...he doesn't have much to do. He just idles around all day and lives a good life."
"How did you meet him?"
"ah?"
"I mean you're lucky to have found such a smart book boy. It's really hard to find a reliable book boy nowadays. They're either dull or cunning. None of them can make people worry less, let alone trust them. I
Your book boy is a good one."
Li Youlan was overjoyed and quite proud: "That's true. In terms of intelligence, Xia Hui is rare. He is also a trustworthy friend."
"Friends?" Fu Qianqian sneered, "Oh, they are indeed friends! Then Li Youlan, are you willing to sell your friends to me?"
"Sell?"
"I want Xia to come back and be my book boy! You give me a price."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Youlan's face froze: "I'm sorry, I don't sell my book boy."
"Li Youlan, I advise you to be more sensible. This is a matter between him and me and has nothing to do with you. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, you must get involved. I, Fu Qianqian, don't care about dealing with one more young lady."
"Fu Qianqian, you... you said before..."
"Stupid, can't you tell that what I said before was a lie to you? To tell you the truth, I have always paid every penny. Your book boy made me embarrassed and beaten. I can't pay the bill.
Forget! I advise you to hand him over to me honestly. Not only can you gain a relationship with the Prime Minister, but you can also get a lot of money in return. Otherwise, you will have one more enemy who may destroy you at any time. You have to understand that now
Our capital is my father’s world!” (To be continued)
