Maple leaves, daisies, roses and irises

May that day be dark, and may God not visit from above, and may no light shine upon it.

Just as two men in Western Europe embarked on the road of conquest with a desire for the East, Matthew Williams was being troubled by his own people.The Anglo-Americans and French-Americans seem to have a common hatred, and they don't like each other, especially when the French Canadians/Canadians become more independent, the conflict between the two sides is particularly intense.

Matthew often holds the white bear in his arms, smiles and sits on a chair watching the two factions quarrel. With a smile: "I think the opinions of both of you are very good, and I support both."

……

Our opinions run counter to each other, how did you support them at the same time?

The English and French were defeated.

Matthew was able to live a quiet life for a while.He likes drinking maple syrup, holding a soft and silly white bear, and sitting in the quiet and beautiful garden to relax.Sometimes you can hear the voice of an oriental teenager studying from a room upstairs in the next room. The hoarse voice in the period of voice change always has a unique charm when reciting English, and it doesn't sound noisy at all.

"It would be great if it could be like this all the time..." Matthew rubbed Bai Xiong's ears, "Isn't it, Xiong Erlang?"

"Let go of my ears, Canada."

"Haha." Matthew smiled happily.

The voice of Wang Jialong reciting words came from his ears.Matthew paused, looked up at the closed window, with complicated emotions.

If there was peace forever...it wouldn't be this world.

————————————————————————————————————————

The Qing Dynasty once again fell into the flames of war.When the fire in the Yuan/Mingyuan was ignited, Canada/Canada and Hong Kong/Hong Kong were living their ordinary lives in the house as usual.As always, Matthew was entrusted by Arthur Kirkland to check Wang Jialong's homework and ask him questions about economy, language, art, history, etc.; Wang Jialong's grades were also excellent as always, and he answered all the questions with a blank expression , and answered very beautifully.

Matthew smiled at him approvingly, closed the book in his hand, and was about to say something to the Eastern boy who stood up, when he saw a servant running in in a hurry, shouting: "The latest battle report, Ying/Ge Mr. Lan and Mr. France/Mr. Lanxi teamed up and burned down the Yuan/Ming Garden in the capital of the Qing Dynasty!"

Matthew's eyes widened in shock, and he stood up reflexively, but Wang Jialong's reaction was much more intense than his.The young man from the east rushed forward, grabbed the man by the neck without saying a word, stared at him and gritted his teeth and said, "Say it again? Be more specific! The Old Summer Palace was burned, so what about the Qingyi Garden? Jingming Garden, Jingyi What about Changchun Garden, Changchun Garden, and Haidian Town? Have they been affected!"

His expression was extremely terrifying, as if just a little stimulation would kill him.Matthew walked over nervously, not daring to persuade the furious Dongfang boy, fearing that the other party would really do something, so he stood by and prepared to intervene if the situation was a little inconvenient.

The servant looked at the young man from the Qing Dynasty in fear, and said with fear: "Actually, I don't know very well... But the battle report said that Mr. Ying/Glan and Mr. France/France took away Yuan/Mingyuan For some reason, the treasure inside was set on fire—”

Hong Kong gave a "tsk", put down the servant's collar, turned around and rushed outside.Seeing this, Matthew quickly stopped the young man who was dizzy with anger, supported him by the shoulders and shouted: "What do you want to do? Don't do stupid things, Hong Kong! You can't do anything!"

Wang Jialong didn't answer his words, but panted angrily, trying to break free from Matthew, and murmured as if trying to swallow England/Granson: "Bastards...those disgusting foreign devils...born by a low maid Dog...let me go..."

His words were all in Chinese, and Matthew couldn't understand a single word, but from the terrified expression of the young man from the east, it was clear that it was definitely not a good word.The servant next to him tremblingly looked at the devil-like boy, and Matthew persuaded Wang Jialong, trying his best to persuade:

"Jesus above! Please don't try to change anything! Mr. England will not listen to you and will not give in because of your resistance. He will not stop moving forward! The death of the Qing Dynasty is a foregone conclusion , Hong Kong, you give up—"

Before finishing speaking, Matthew was interrupted.The Dongfang boy raised his head abruptly. The forbearance he had been holding for so many years was an illusion. His love for his elder brother exploded into boundless anger at this moment:

"'The death of the Qing Dynasty is a foregone conclusion'? Do you think so, Matthew Williams?" Wang Jialong bit every word hard, and he stared at Matthew fiercely, "You must all be Think about it this way! Subjugate the country and destroy the species! In ancient times, the noble dragon fell into the clouds! Divided up by you scum!"

"I don't allow it!!"

Wang Jialong broke free from the shackles of Matthew's arms and continued to rush out of the house.Matthew ran over quickly, stretched out his hand and slammed the door, and opened his arms to block the door. Finally, he was provoked by the Dongfang boy and said angrily: "You must not go out today, I will stop you!"

"It's the same as England!" Wang Jialong stopped and spat, before he could take any action, he was interrupted by Matthew, "Hong Kong, what are you going to do after you go out? Let's not say that no one will let you go to university. Qing, even if you go to the Qing Dynasty, what can you do? You can't change anything, you can't save the lives of dead soldiers, you can't reproduce the original appearance of Yuan/Mingyuan, and you can't change Mr. Ying/Glan and Fa /Mr Lancey's will-"

"I know! I know all of this!" Hong/Hong shouted angrily.

"You know why you still have to go out? Why don't you stay in the house and think about your own affairs instead of doing useless work?"

"How can I calm down! It's easy for you to say! My brother is being bullied/humiliated——(want to face the wall orz crookedly)"

"Even if you go, so what? Make a gesture of consolation, and you will have to be brought back by Mr. England in the end, and you will be powerless to watch the death of Qing Dynasty!"

Matthew was really angry.He didn't understand why the young man in front of him was so brainless, he just couldn't understand the current situation, was blindfolded by worry, anxiety and anger, and recklessly wanted to change.Even though Matthew fully understood the other party's angry position, he still felt that Hong Kong's behavior was so stupid that it was unreasonable!

"I didn't see how anxious you were when Mr. Ying/Glan said that he was going to start a war! It was just a few hypocritical roars, and in the end, don't you want to stay in the house obediently?" Under his anger, he was a little He spoke indiscriminately, and he didn't even realize how hurtful the words he said were, "Why are you so excited now? Are you caring about the treasures in the palace, or your elder brother?"

Sure enough, Wang Jialong's face turned livid. "How dare you..." Hong Kong glared at him, gritted his teeth, "How dare you say that! How do you understand! You don't understand anything at all!!"

After Matthew finished speaking, he saw the terrifying expression on the young man's face, and realized how inappropriate what he said just now, but there was no way to take back what he said.He gritted his teeth, slowed down his tone and said, "Don't do useless work, Wang! I beg you, okay?"

Wang Jialong's reaction was to twist the corners of his mouth.

"Does it mean that if I want to go out, I have to pass you?"

Before Matthew could react, the boy from Dongfang threw his fist at him.Matthew gasped, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge the opponent's attack, but was hit hard by the opponent's elbow on the back.Accompanied by unimaginably severe pain, Matthew coughed violently and fell powerlessly to the ground!

The Dongfang boy snorted coldly, opened the door and rushed out.Seeing this, the servant who had already looked stupid at the side hurried forward to help Matthew who was coughing up blood, "Mr. Williams, it's okay... I think I should find you a doctor—"

"What kind of doctor are you looking for... bastard, that kid is really ruthless...!" Matthew grabbed the other party's sleeve, "Don't look for a doctor—go after Hong Kong!"

"Ah, you don't have to worry," said the servant a little embarrassed, "Actually, Mr. England sent me the news...Mr. England said that if Hong Kong wants to visit the Qing Dynasty no matter what , 'Let him see with his own eyes how the Qing Dynasty was destroyed by the Great Britain'...that's what Mr. England said."

"..."

The servant looked at Matthew worriedly, "Mr. Williams?"

"..."

Matthew Williams said he'd never have anything to do with the Yellow Boy—anything.

————————————————————————————————————————

Although it is said...

Matthew stood helplessly in front of the closed door in Hong Kong, sighing again.

Don't worry about that kid...

That day, fortunately, Hong Kong/Hong Kong realized that they could not go to Daqing without money and returned to withdraw the money. They were caught by Matthew and earnestly relayed Mr. England’s words, so they stayed. Behavior, it should be said that he was extremely unwilling to stay.And after staying away from the other party, he locked himself in the house, locked the door from the inside, and couldn't come out even if anyone called out.

"Please don't tell Mr. England that Hong Kong once wanted to go to the Qing Dynasty crazily but I discouraged you." Matthew said to the servant, "Even if you didn't tell him, it would be too much for Mr. England Doesn't have any effect, does it?"

Whether the servant finally told him, Matthew had no way of knowing, and there was no news after that.It was not until the news of the signing of the "Tianjin Treaty" between the Qing Dynasty and the four countries that the closed door of Hong Kong was finally opened.

Matthew was taken aback by the dispirited young man in front of him.The brown eyes were lifeless, empty and dull, and could not see the vitality and vitality that belonged to youth.Wang Jialong went downstairs, looked at Matthew Williams who was stunned at the dining table, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother, will he really die?"

Even Hong Kong/Hong Kong, which trusts the big brother, has questioned the future of the motherland after the Qing Dynasty signed so many treaties/treaties that forfeited power and humiliated the country.

No wonder, he is just a child... What's more, Daqing's performance is really not satisfactory...

Matthew smiled, walked up to the boy, touched his soft brown hair, and said in his softest voice: "If you think he will live, he will definitely survive; if you think he will die, he will die." It's not far from death."

There was no response, but Matthew knew he understood.The Dongfang boy was silent for a while, and finally reached out his hand unbearably and knocked off Matthew's hand that was constantly trampled on his head, coughed and said: "...Why do you want to comfort me?"

Matthew replied with a smile, “Why not comfort you?”

"I'm a colony, after all. Is it really good for you to comfort me and strengthen my sense of patriotism?"

Matthew looked at Wang Jialong, his brown eyes flickered with suspicion.After a while, Matthew burst into laughter, patted Wang Jialong on the shoulder, and said with a sigh, "You... sometimes you really seem to forget something."

"I'm not England. I'm just a colony, too."

————————————————————————————————————————

When Mr. England returned with a full load of spoils, Matthew knew it. The servant didn't tell Mr. England at the beginning.Because as soon as Mr. England came back, he went straight to Hong Kong's room, excitedly embraced the shoulder of the young man in the East, and murmured:

"That's great, Wang...you proved to me that you are not the same as that ungrateful bastard..."

Wang Jialong, who was being hugged, didn't understand what was going on at all, and blinked blankly.Standing at the door, Matthew looked at the British/English gentleman who was holding the young boy in his arms tightly, and laughed for reasons that he didn't understand.

Obviously never had any real kindness to anyone, but yearned for the gratitude of others; obviously longed for the gratitude of others, but refused to speak out because of the arrogance engraved in the bones; obviously once could avoid losing, but after losing I just want to cherish it—although even if he is asked to do it again, he will do the same thing to Alfred again as he did in the past.

I don't understand what true tenderness is at all, I just blindly advance and ask for it.

The blond gentleman hugged the oriental boy tightly.The boy in his arms froze for a moment, and then showed an extremely disgusted expression, as if the person holding him had an unbearable stench.Wang Jialong frowned, stretched out his hand hesitantly, and hugged Arthur Kirkland back with gritted teeth, and said something in a soft voice that didn't match his expression at all.

Matthew shrugged and turned to leave.

—This is Arthur Kirkland.A poor and hateful man who is too strong to care about the weak.

The author has something to say: There is nothing to abuse in these chapters, only Hong Kong Aberdeen 囧 rz

I probably forgot about Uncle Fa... The brother of the world said that he was very hurt, so he came out in the next chapter to find a sense of existence~
