- The setting sun lays an orange-red afterglow on the sea. The sea breeze, the blue water and the hovering seagulls make the world so peaceful.
The controversy that broke out earlier did not leave any aftertaste, no one would care about those guys.
It¡¯s as if they never existed at all.
In the hearts of the upper class, they don¡¯t care about those guys who are like mud.
??Megan, the same is true for Zhao Hongyu.
The sailors on the battleship all entered the cabin to rest, and only a small number of genetic soldiers remained as waiters.
The melodious music of the violin echoes in the dusk, adding a bit of romance and fantasy.
The tone of American country music is what Gene people are good at.
The light and playful tone immediately attracted the attention of the nobles, and everyone gathered around.
?? Okay, Zhao Hongyu and the others are piracy, and they shamelessly claim that this is the music of their "hometown".
Fortunately, this is 1621, and the Americans will not hold them accountable.
Therefore, even if Zhao Hongyu and others declare this, there will be no problem.
This style of music is completely different from the mainstream European music of this era.
At this time, the mainstream music in Europe still had the dull, routine tone, which sounded very depressing.
¡°But Zhao Hongyu¡¯s violin performance is not like this.
And it is also equipped with guitars and other simple musical instruments, which completely brings different enjoyment to the nobles.
Wang Shan and the others pulled out a circle of sofas on the top of the loft, and placed a long table in the center. There are many exquisite pastries, bacon and other snacks placed on the table, as well as red wine.
Completely ¡®American¡¯ way, the smell of thirteen spices fills the air, whetting your appetite.
Among the family members brought by the nobles, there are some children. Although they had been severely taught before coming, under Zhao Hongyu's instructions, these little guys were given special treatment.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.
After tasting these delicious foods, this is the only word the little ones can say.
"It's delicious, that's enough to say."
"Your Highness, thank you for your generous hospitality today and allowing us to enjoy a unique banquet."
After everyone got in touch with each other for a while, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
Several nobles surrounded Zhao Hongyu and started chatting with him.
Overall, the ship was divided into several small groups.
The male nobles all gathered around Zhao Hongyu to chat with him, while the ladies gathered around Sarah and Emma to talk. The remaining children were divided into a group of boys and then a group of girls.
Of course, there are a few children who are not very gregarious, sitting alone on the sofa next to the guardrail, looking at everyone.
Fortunately, there are delicious food and good music, which will not make those unsociable children feel lonely.
¡°I¡¯m also very happy to meet you. I¡¯m really happy to be able to meet some friends in Europe.¡±
Zhao Hongyu raised the red wine glass in his hand and gestured to the old man who spoke.
"Your Highness, during your trip to Europe this time, is there any place you particularly want to visit?"
Someone asked again.
"Aha, I don't have a specific place I want to go, but I will keep sailing eastward. My wife said that the customs and customs in Beirut and Alexandria are completely different from those in the Americas. I want to see them.", Zhao Hongyu replied. "I like to see different styles. Maybe this has something to do with my youth."
Everyone is approaching each other cautiously and learning about each other¡¯s personality and other things through conversation.
Even if someone has other ideas now, they will not bring it up when they first come into contact. These nobles know this well.
The same is true for women, they are more hypocritical than men.
Because we know Zhao Hongyu¡¯s identity and status. And how important the wealth and goods in America are, so when these noble ladies chatted with Sarah and Emma, ??they flattered them very much.
¡°For no other reason than to leave a good impression and create an opportunity for my men.
Yes, if we can have a good relationship with His Highness in America, it will be of great benefit to business and trade, right?
"Your Highness is so young, even older than my brother."?It's much smaller. But his deep black eyes were so beautiful, I felt like my heart was sucked in and I couldn't extricate myself. "
In the girls¡¯ circle, the topics of conversation among these ladies from aristocratic families naturally revolve around Zhao Hongyu.
Before coming, their parents had solemnly reminded them and told them everything about Zhao Hongyu.
For these girls, Zhao Hongyu is young and rich, and is completely a suitable husband candidate. Although he now has two wives, this is no obstacle to them.
If Zhao Hongyu needs it, they can even be mistresses.
The most important thing is that Zhao Hongyu has a lot of money, and being with her can completely change the status of the family.
Although these families have joined forces to engage in maritime trade, the money they earn cannot keep up with the squandering speed of their father and mother.
Therefore, these nobles are actually the kind of handsome people on the surface, but secretly they are already hollow bosses who are heavily in debt.
As a child of a noble family, I have already had this awareness.
Rather than marrying a bad old man in the end, it would be better to choose this His Highness from America.
¡°Besides, His Majesty is not ugly, handsome, upright, and very manly. Although there is a scar on his handsome face, this scar not only does not destroy his handsomeness, but makes him more masculine.
Therefore, many girls have fallen in love with Zhao Hongyu.
"It's a pity that Zhao Hongyu has no interest in them.
The boys talked about a variety of topics, including delicious food, music that was different from the mainstream, various news and stories from the Americas, and comments about Sarah and Emma's appearance.
Maybe boys have more active personalities, so they have a lot more topics to talk about.
"The daughter of the Duke of Normandy has married Archduke Wilson of Poland a few days ago, so it is difficult for us to judge now whether Archduke Wilson will support the Habsburg side in the end."
"Oh, really. I have seen this child Nasili. She can speak six languages ??and is as beautiful as her mother. Although she is only ten years old now, it can be seen that she will definitely be a beauty in the future. But I think marrying It¡¯s a pity to give Archduke Wilson this male bear. And he¡¯s sixty-three years old. I wonder if he can do it?¡±
Everyone laughed.
Zhao Hongyu and the others have started talking about all kinds of gossip.
And it was also the first time that Zhao Hongyu heard European nobles talking about these gossips that happened among nobles from various European countries.
So, he is very excited now.
Especially the protagonists of this gossip are a ten-year-old lolita and a sixty-three-year-old aristocrat.
¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s illegal to be ten years old.
In future generations, this old man named Wilson will definitely be shot and despised by the world.
But in 1621 this was a very common thing, especially among the nobility.
Thinking about it, this little girl named Neslie must be a victim of the exchange of interests between families.
Zhao Hongyu thought to himself.
"No, it's a bit impossible to marry a sixty-three-year-old man at the age of ten." Zhao Hongyu deliberately pretended to be surprised and looked at the nobles around him in disbelief.
Megan smiled and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Nothing is impossible, everything is just for a piece of land in Austria. In exchange of interests between nobles, Nesili already owns that piece of land, and as a dowry, Wilson has become It belongs to the Grand Duke, and the current situation in the Netherlands is not very good, Gustaman is also ready to make a move, maybe Archduke Wilson can restrain him for a while."
¡°It can be heard from Meghan¡¯s words that there are some political transactions involved.
As for that little girl Nesili, she was indeed a victim.
She is only ten years old. In later generations, it will be the time to enjoy a wonderful childhood life, but in this era, she has to shoulder a heavy burden and sacrifice for the family.
What a poor little girl.
Zhao Hongyu sighed in his heart.
"Would Wilson sleep with her? It's hard for me to imagine such a scene." Zhao Hongyu pretended to be very gossipy and said to everyone.
Ha ha
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words caused everyone to laugh.
"The same goes for us. Archduke Wilson is as strong as a bear, and he is drunk and violent. Poor little Nesley doesn't know if she can bear it anymore, but what can she do?Now that she is Wilson's legal wife, she must have the obligations and responsibilities of a wife to serve her husband. "
A nobleman said to Zhao Hongyu very nonchalantly.
Zhao Hongyu could tell from their eyes that none of these guys cared about the life of the little girl named Nesili, and in their opinion, Nesili's matter was nothing more than a topic of conversation after a meal or a cocktail party.
But Zhao Hongyu also knew that he had no right to care about this matter, and he could not change these things.
This kind of thing is very common among European aristocrats.
How can Zhao Hongyu change it?
He can't change it.
¡°Besides, why should he care about it?
It¡¯s just a matter of eating carrots and not worrying.
"Everyone, there is a shortage of slaves in America. If you are interested, you can talk to me. I am willing to give a reasonable price."
Zhao Hongyu was no longer in the mood to continue talking about gossip. After all, what was there to talk about about a poor little girl's gossip.
So, he changed the topic.
Hearing business-related topics, these nobles suddenly became energetic.
"Your Highness, as far as I know, many European merchant ships will capture black slaves from Africa when they go to America, and then sell them to the Song Empire."
A nobleman spoke at this time. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
