I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

As for blacks, they are indescribable and terrifying creatures.

……

The daughter's wayward behavior was not caused by Steve's doting.

On the contrary, Steve Vanderbilt, who was busy in the family business and Wall Street, did not discipline his daughter at all, which eventually led to a character that was too bad in his opinion.

It doesn't matter if it's the former Vanderbilt family.

However, as the father's business grows, the Vanderbilt family is trying to get rid of the title of nouveau riche.

Under the increasingly strict requirements of Cornelius, who is just 70 years old this year, the behavior of the whole family must be in line with the British nobles.

It's ridiculous to say that Cornelius, who was born as a dock worker and eventually became a millionaire, began to pursue these illusory things frantically and paranoidly at an age when he could do whatever he wanted.

This transformation is bound to be full of hardships.

No matter how arty these rich Yankees are, the arrogant British will not approve of these upstarts.

In fact, in the original historical track, it was not until more than 20 years later that Consuelo Vanderbilt, Julie's cousin and the only daughter of Steve's younger brother William, finally married the British Veteran aristocrat, the IX Duke of Marlborough, owner of Blenheim Palace, one of the oldest castles in England, Charles Churchill (not the Churchill who commanded World War II).

This marriage is actually a game of exchanging money for status. There is no emotion at all, and life after marriage is self-evident.

This empty international marriage was not unique to that era.

At the end of the 19th century, the once noble and arrogant British aristocracy had already been reduced to a flamboyant economically vulnerable.However, the rapid development of the American economy has produced a large number of business tycoons.

American new stars and tycoons exchanged banknotes and women for a bunch of titles from the down-and-out British, washing the foundation of the nouveau riche.

A series of films such as "Downton Abbey" and "The Heiress" are the portrayal of that era.

When Zhu Fugui saw this piece of history, what he thought was: "Don't look for the British to buy a title. Their throne is still passed down from the Mongols (Womoer Empire). Our Da Meng's title is more valuable! Please! wholesale!"

……

There's a reason why Steve tightened his discipline on his own daughter.

Because not long ago, daughter Julie's best friend, a girl from a military officer's family, developed a relationship with a Chinese.

It is said that it happened when the family served as the military attache of the embassy in the American Concession in Shanghai (which will be merged with the British Concession into the Public Settlement in September this year).

Later, the shameless woman secretly brought the Chinese back to the United States, and even staged a scene of elopement.

The Major had always suspected that Julie had played a disgraceful role in her daughter's elopement.

But relying on the name of the Vanderbilt family, the major would not come to cause trouble.

But even so, Steve felt he had to be strict with his daughter.

If she fell in love with a Chinese like her best friend, it would be a disaster.

Steve knew how much his father hated people of color.

On the contrary, if the daughter can get acquainted with a European nobleman, then this marriage will give herself a high score in the property competition with the other 12 siblings.

After all, Steve knew his father was 70 years old.

And he is far inferior to his younger brother William.

……

Under the watchful eye of the housekeeper, Julie Vanderbilt returned to her bedroom.

This is a spacious and bright large room.

However, the furnishings in the room are not complicated, in stark contrast to the rest of the villa.

Julie, who has been smart and studious since she was a child, loves sports and knowledge, and is not interested in jewelry that noble ladies are keen on.

Asking the maid to confirm that the butler's men had left, Julie jumped onto the big bed and wrapped herself in a blanket.

Then, she pulled out a slightly curved magazine from inside the corset.

"Bonker Monthly" is a British magazine, and it is not easy to buy in New York.

Julie also asked many friends to buy this original version.

Julie's cousin is studying abroad at Cambridge University in England.

In the letter, he told a lot about what he had seen and heard about Britain.

One of these incidents piqued Julie's interest.

The originally unknown third-rate magazine "Libent Monthly" has recently become a well-known reader on the street.

It was all because of a serialized novel published in the Scientific Bent Monthly.

This "Detective Zhuge Watson" should be the first detective novel with a reasoning theme in history.

It didn't cause much of a stir at first.

However, in the football match between Cambridge and Oxford not long ago, because of the dispute over the understanding of the rules, conflicts broke out between the two groups of young people.

Seeing that a fight was inevitable, but for some reason, the captain of the Cambridge football team mentioned the Chinese way of playing football in "Detective Zhuge Watson".

According to the book, it is a football style invented by the first ball king of the Song Empire, the famous iron-blooded general, General Qiu Gao.

Its rules are quite strict and its operability is extremely high.

Coincidentally, the captain of the opposite Oxford football team is also a loyal reader of "The Famous Detective Zhuge Watson".

Discovering that they are both detective fans, the atmosphere full of gunpowder suddenly became like Kudo and Heiji, and they cherished each other.

In fact, it's normal to think about it.

In this era, it is really difficult to get started without certain knowledge and logical thinking ability.

It is much easier for Cambridge and Oxford academics to accept such novels.

It was this coincidence that not only the football match between Cambridge and Oxford was successfully held according to the rules of "Chinese football", but also the fame of "Detective Zhuge Watson" suddenly rose.

All of a sudden, "Science Bent Monthly" was sold out.

Chapter 076 Letters from the Reader

After all, she is an ignorant girl who has never experienced the baptism of millions of words of online novels. It took Julie a whole night to finish reading "Detective Watson-The Murder of a Retired Paint Dealer".

Rubbing her sore and swollen eyes, the girl realized that the outside of the window had turned slightly white.

The original electric light bulb was invented in this era.

However, due to the immature vacuum technology, the inert gas filling technology has not yet sprouted, resulting in extremely short lifespan and high price of the bulb at this time.

Naturally, Julie didn't care that she had blown out a few light bulbs.

She closed the magazine with unfinished content, with a longing look on her face.

The resourceful Chinese detective, with his honest British assistant, is like a walking god of death on the streets of London full of crimes, solving one crime after another.

How fascinating it is!

Julie was even a little envious of that Japanese girl named Mao Lilan.

Speaking of which, my best friend eloped with a young Chinese scholar. I really can't see that Lianna, who is usually a lady and sensible, would be so decisive in front of love.

Speaking of which, their lives may be very difficult, but this novel may bring them warmth and hope.

Thinking of this, Julie picked up the letter paper and began to copy the novel word by word.

As for the original version, Julie is reluctant to give it to her best friend, she wants to keep it well.

It took a long time before Julie copied the novel and handed it to her maid.

The manuscript was to be sent, along with $50, to Lena and her illegitimate husband.

After doing all this, Julie suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

It's strange, it's not the first time I've been grounded by my father, even if I count the ants on the windowsill, I won't feel such emptiness.

After thinking about it, Julie realized that no matter what she was doing, all she could think of was the mysterious Chinese detective.

She really wanted to know the story behind it.

"Damn yellow crane!"

Julie couldn't help complaining.

Why did this writer named Huang He only write [-] characters, why didn't he write more?

Could it be because of money?

If I fund him, can I make him update faster?

Julie couldn't help having such thoughts in her heart.

……

Zhu Fugui was stunned when he saw the mail in a large carriage sent by Communication Xiaoqi from Prasera.

He did not expect that the readers of this era were so enthusiastic that they actually sent so many letters to the "Libenkett Monthly".

And out of respect for the great writer, Mr. Huang He, who is also a writer who can lay golden eggs, the magazine did not dare to neglect, and funded the forwarding of these emails.

At the same time, he also hinted tactfully that he hoped that Mr. Huang He would send the next manuscript as soon as possible.

Opening a few letters casually, Zhu Fugui found that they were basically reminders, and then threw them away.

Reminders don't send blades?

This is too disrespectful to me, Mr. Huang.

In fact, Zhu Fugui would prefer that they send him bullets, each sending a thousand bullets, and his army's ammunition will be available.

Just when Zhu Fugui was about to order someone to burn all these reminders, he suddenly caught sight of a letter from the sidelines, because the long-distance transportation had loosened a bit, and a green corner was exposed inside.

Zhu Fugui doesn't like the United States, but he won't make trouble with the dollar.

Pick up the envelope, there is a total of 30 dollars inside.

$30 is not a small amount.

According to official statistics, using gold as a reference, the U.S. dollar has depreciated more than 160 times in 30 years.

In other words, this $30 is equivalent to 7000 yuan in future generations, which is almost a silver alliance.

This made Zhu Fugui speechless, never thinking that he would have such a day.

The letter only had an address but no signature, and the handwriting seemed to be that of a woman.

Zhu Fugui asked the guards to check the pile of letters carefully to see if any fish slipped through the net.

As a result, I found a few more who sent money or small gifts.

Neither was worth more than $30, though.

Zhu Fugui took out these letters and ordered Old Eunuch Li to keep them safe, and he would reply to them one by one if he had time.

He has more important things to do today.

……

Xia Zhixin had been awake for several days.

With the help of supportive care and antibiotics, his life was pulled from hell.

At this time, he was lying on the metal lifting hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The braids on the back of his head had been cut off in a coma.

According to the nurse, the ward must be kept clean and tidy. Not to mention bacteria, there are a lot of fleas and head lice in his big braids, which must be disposed of.

Xia Zhixin had no complaints about this.

Looking at the almost spotless room, and the white as new bedding, Xia Zhixin knew that what they said might be the truth.

But does the witch of the White Lotus Sect need a reason for cutting her own braid?

Since the moment he decided to go to Citigroup to find his son, Xia Zhixin never planned to return to his hometown alive.

He has been awarded the title of scholar very early, and he has not made further progress in the imperial examination for many years.

Over the years, Xia Zhixin has been studying at his hometown in Houguan County, Fujian Province, while opening a library to teach some children.

Although he is a teacher, he is not the kind of pedantic scholar.

On the contrary, he strongly encouraged students to travel and see more, and at the same time, they should not underestimate those foreigners who came from across the sea.
