Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 37 Angels Falling into the World

   "Hold a grand ball?"

  Li Fushou looked at Ben-Lewis and Sir Robinho with some surprise, and looked at the black carriage on the street through the window, but nodded helplessly.

  These high-class people rushed over like a blowfly, buzzing and barking around. If you can’t slap him to death, just ask if you are depressed?

  I simply have a pot of stew, and I can find peace in the future.

Seeing the surprised and delighted expressions of Ben-Lewis and Sir Robinho, the pride and glory that can't be concealed, Li Fushou was secretly kind and funny, with no expression on his face, and said lightly; "Hold a dance party." A lot of manpower is needed. If it is not enough, you can draw from my hands."

   "Thank you, your Excellency, that would be great. Let's prepare now."

   "Well, my subordinates will arrive soon, you can arrange it."

   "Thank you for your trust, then we are leaving."

  Giving away the pair of live treasures, Li Fushou said to Zhu Wei; “You can arrange this, and bring our people over to help. By the way, you can learn more about the exotic customs. This kind of big scene is rare.”

   "Follow your humble duty."

  Li Fushou Shi Shiran walked into the French luxury suite. The door was guarded by Tongbeiquan master Hu Tiesheng and Shaolin lay master Fu Peng in turn, and no one was allowed to enter.

  He needs to think a little bit about his specific itinerary in the United States, taking into account all the needs of this visit to the United States.

  At present, the situation in the past few days is beyond imagination.

Having received letters of recommendation from three members of Congress, it means that at least 6 elite backbones can be selected to enroll in the U.S. Naval Academy. Although it cannot be compared with the high-level naval academies of the British Empire, it is still a world-class naval academy that has not been visited. .

  This opportunity cannot be missed. Who said that cadets who graduated from the Naval Academy cannot command ocean freighters?

  There is a longing in Li Fushou’s heart, that is the infinite yearning for the giant cannon in the steam age;

  When a large group of thick black smoke appeared on the sea level, the tall triangular masts of the iron-clad battleship jumped out of the blue sea level one by one, the huge muzzle of the black hole pointed at the enemy, and came all the way through the waves...

  What an exciting scene this is!

  In the historical wave, Li Fushou has a feeling of being pushed away by the surging wave. Some things are beyond his control, and some things cannot be avoided by him.

  The tide of history is surging forward, who can stop it?

  Li Fushou didn't think about how to deal with it. He has no clear idea of ​​which step he should do in the future.

   In the final analysis, it is a deep fear of the unmatched naval power of the British Empire, which is so powerful that it can be resisted by non-human forces.

   Take this little belongings of oneself and go head-to-head, and it will be useless for decades to develop.

  He only knows a little;

  You must make every effort to develop your own strength and business empire, and lay a solid foundation, in order to face any turbulent waves with equanimity.

  As for Ben-Lewis, Fischer and his like Pan Gaozhi, who are passionate about themselves, Li Fushou has never taken it seriously.

  The descendants of the royal family are indeed true, and the Li Tang Dynasty also exists in Eastern history, which is not a lie.

  As for these old beauty, it has nothing to do with me.

  Now this kind of social celebrities scrambling to get together, it is of great help to complete this trip to North America, this is the most important thing.

  At night, the magnificent Auckland Opera House is shining brightly.

  The grand upper-class ball is held here. Oakland, including San Francisco's upper-class people gathered here, dressed up and turned into a grand carnival ball.

  Entrance of the Grand Theater

  Except for the attentive waiters who are receiving guests, hundreds of uniformly dressed Chinese are a beautiful landscape. All of them have short heads, sturdy expressions, and decent gray suits to maintain order.

  For these young men, seeing countless Yingyingyanyan beauties surrounding them, exposing large swaths of creamy white on their chests, and the fragrant wind gusts, it is so happy, there is a wonderful feeling of falling into a gentle country.

  How do you describe this feeling?

  I want to vomit...

  This is a bit like a monk who has eaten vegetarian food for several years. Suddenly, he is really tired of making big fat slices of pork with thick fingers.

  The middle of the theater hall

  Li Fushou, wearing an elegant tuxedo, is politely chatting with the oncoming upper class people. If the person in front cannot say a few words, he will be replaced by the person behind.

  He is like a reef in the sea, swelling around him.

It is difficult for him to remember so many people. He only knows that there are financiers, old nobles from European countries, governors, congressmen, rear admirals, cavalry colonels, planters, big capitalists and their families, countless beautiful faces dazzled before his eyes. , I'm so dizzy.

Suddenly

  He saw an extremely beautiful girl, quietly standing in the crowd and moving forward. Although she didn't speak, all the light was born for her.

  She is simply the 19th century version of Audrey Hepburn, a beautiful angel who fell into the world.

  At that moment, Li Fushou felt like lightning exploded, reflecting into his heart, and throwing away the shocked people took the initiative to step forward.

  Ben-Lewis was standing beside him smiling very happily, Zhu Wei couldn't help but ask; "Ben, who is this beautiful girl?"

  "It is the financial specialist that I selected for my respected Sir, a girl from the family of the Countdown. She is in urgent need of a high-paying job."

   "How can the earl family be down?"

"Ha ha ha... Dear Zhu, you don't know that." Ben-Lewis smiled very happily, he was willing to answer Zhu Wei's questions; "The United States is a bourgeois democracy, and there is no soil for the existence of nobles. They must Relying on their own efforts to make money for food, instead of parasitic on the hard work of serfs, many aristocrats from Europe were downcast, and lived worse than farmers. Look...this is the social reality."

"But... I think there are a lot of old European aristocrats here, some from Florence, some from Edinburgh, some from Lyon, and there are a lot of nobles from other places, who are equally beautiful and beautifully dressed." Zhu Weiwu said. Do not believe.

  "Don’t be confused by the appearance in front of you. It is possible that the most expensive property of these people is the dress on their bodies. If they can’t eat at the banquet, they will go home hungry."

   "It won't be so exaggerated, I think it's all in a luxury carriage."

  “In Oakland, it’s not difficult to rent a luxury carriage. As long as you spend a dozen dollars, these glamorous women may be willing to spend the Spring Festival with you.”

   "Uh... well, you convinced me."

  Zhu Wei was sighed, looking at those respectful and noble noble men and women, it was not that kind of thing at all, it looked very strange.

  Here

  Li Fushou politely stretched out his hand; "Can you...beautiful lady, I am Li Fushou from the East, a descendant of the former royal family, can I kiss your hand?"

   "You can call me Miss Leona."

The girl who looked like an angel stretched out her hand gracefully, her delicate fingers almost transparent. Li Fushou gently held the back of her hand and bent over and kissed it lightly, and then said, "It's very nice to meet you, beautiful Ms. Leona, Can we talk alone?"

   "Yes, but I have to eat something before that, or I can faint in your arms at any time."

  Li Fushou was taken aback: "Oh, well, please take my arm."

  Li Fushou took Liona and left. The upper-class people who had been waiting in line to meet saw that they were out of sight, so they exploded and went to find suitable targets.

  In a quiet small hall

  Liona was eating the cream cake. She stretched out her white and delicate fingers from time to time to **** up the cream on the corners of her face, mouth and hands, and then smirked embarrassedly.

  "You don't have to eat so eagerly. We have time and food, enough to fill your stomach."

  "Stop talking now, it's rude to butter cakes, my God, do you know I haven't eaten for two days?"

   "Uh... okay." Li Fushou touched his nose and stopped speaking.

After eating something, Leona’s strength returned and she couldn’t help complaining; “The stingy banker only gave me a rail ticket and asked me to rush over from Seattle, hundreds of kilometers away. I took the train for two whole days and two nights, and didn't even drink a sip of water."

   "It really makes people sympathetic."

"Bah, you rich aristocratic lords will only talk in words, and will not sympathize with us down-and-out aristocrats at all." At this point, Leona stared at Li Fushou with beautiful and smart big eyes, and asked abruptly. Words; "Go ahead, do you want to sleep with me?"

  Li Fushou was holding a glass of red wine in his hand. He heard these words abruptly, so Xuan did not spew out a mouthful of old blood;

   "Am I so obvious?"

   "Huh, men are all the same. Since I grew up, the eyes staring at me are squinted, trying to get me to bed..."

   "Ahem..."

  Even if there is such an idea, it must never be admitted.

  Li Fushou couldn't help it anymore, and interrupted Leona with a dry cough. It was difficult for him to associate the beautiful girl in front of him with the problem girl with vulgar language.

  "I think we still have to maintain a ladylike style and don't show incompatibility with society. This will be regarded as an outlier by most people. Your weak shoulders don't seem to be able to bear too much. Don't imagine yourself too strong."

  "Women don’t need to be strong, just find a strong enough man, he will solve all problems for me, such as you..."

   "Hehe...it seems to have taken me down."

   "I can feel that you like me very much, don't you?"

  Li Fushou's face cooled, Leona was extremely keenly aware of the subtle changes, and her confident face couldn't help panicking.

  If you lose this strong support, you may have to embark on the road of betraying your flesh, just in exchange for bread that you can eat.

  She really wanted to behave too much, she tried too hard, who knew the fish had decoupled.

  Li Fushou stood up indifferently, and bowed politely, saying, “I still have a lot of honorable guests to deal with, so I can’t accompany you for the time being, Miss Leona, please do it yourself.”

   "No, please don't leave me here alone."

   "In fact, I can do this, you are not as important as you thought." Li Fushou has already started to walk outside.

   "Please... show me a little gentlemanship and a little pity, I can't lose this important job."

   "No, you never got this job, how can you lose it?"

  Li Fushou categorically left. He didn't like women who thought they were smart, nor did they like women who thought they were right, let alone accept a bad product.

  Although she was attracted by Leona's amazing beauty, she quickly recovered her calm and left firmly.

  His cruel departure overwhelmed Leona's last persistence, and finally couldn't hold herself lying on the chair and crying, crying so sad and sorrowful.
