[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 11

Gently picking up the black velvet, the luminous pearl quietly flowing with introverted light, it was only at this moment that Rose really discovered the difference between the imitation aristocrat, the real nouveau riche and the real aristocrat.

She knew it was a treasure, but she didn't dare to accept it.Before coming to this era, her family had told her not to accept gifts from others, especially from the opposite sex.When she was in a relationship back then, her family told her not to let the man pay for all the dating with friends.Don't accept too expensive gifts, unless marriage has been discussed.

The reluctance in her heart made Rose take a closer look at this legendary night pearl.Try to control the expression on your face, and keep your saliva from secreting too quickly.I don't know if her system can change this kind of baby.

"It's too expensive, Rose can't accept it. But thank you anyway." Putting the beads into the box, Rose pushed the box from the coffee table to Karl with a small force.

"No, Rose. Please accept it. Don't you like it?" Carl saw Rose push the gift back, and heard Rose's words again.Very surprised.She obviously likes it.Why not.

"Well, I like it very much. But it's too expensive. I can't accept it with peace of mind. And I don't have anything equivalent in return." Rose spoke out her thoughts.If you don't return the courtesy, you will not agree with her attitude towards life.

Carl: "...you don't need to return the gift." He has grown up and given things to others, but he has never received a gift in return.Is it because the United States does not have this custom, or is it that the United Kingdom pays attention to this now?The world was changing so fast that he felt he couldn't keep up with it.

Hearing what Carl said, Rose remembered.Here, when a lady accepts a gift from a gentleman, it is generally not necessary to give a gift in return.But Rose really couldn't do this kind of blatantly taking advantage of her.If it's not relative, if you give some souvenirs, then you'll accept it.Whoever visits the house doesn't bring some melons, fruits and milk.

But this gift is to give this kind of thing.Who has the nerve to accept it.Especially when Rose is not planning to have a close contact with Carl in the future.

To be honest, Rose still has a good impression of Carl, but of course the premise is to forget the part where someone went bankrupt and committed suicide many years later.

Bankruptcy is not terrible, but the fact that you killed yourself with a gun makes Rose look down on it.People are always going through ups and downs until they grow old, and no one has a time to recite words.As soon as there is something big, they will look for death and life.It's really embarrassing.

It's clear that you're dead.where is your family.The wife you married, and the baby you gave birth to.Don't care about it?Such a man is a coward.Rose didn't want to be a widow someday.She didn't think she still had Rufu's good luck to fall in love with a good man like Mr. Andrew, and her cheap girl with cheats.

Of course, Rose also thought about it, if Karl really failed to go bankrupt one day.With her golden system, let alone supporting the whole family, even helping him make a comeback is effortless, but the premise is why.

Since he didn't have anything that could make her so excited that she would not marry her, there was no need for him to help someone with a mediocre relationship.With that money, she might as well buy an airplane for the motherland like Chang Xiangyu did.

"Anyway, it's still too expensive. I can't accept it. But, what are these?" Rose first clearly expressed her decision to refuse, and then looked at the other things Karl brought over.

"These are just some American specialties, American ginseng and maple syrup." Carl pointed and said with a smile.Compared with that luminous pearl, these things are nothing in comparison.

That night pearl, with a faint green luster, resembled Rose's eyes.At the auction, when Karl saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.Although the price was soaring at full speed, Karl still held up the number plate without hesitation.

To be honest, such a bead is enough to buy a small apartment in a prosperous area in the United States.But at the moment when he got the beads, Karl did not calculate the gains and losses as usual, but was delighted.

"Ginseng and maple syrup?"

"Yes."

"Then thank you for your expense. These two things are really disrespectful." Compared with Ye Mingzhu, Rose accepted this kind of gift without any obstacles.

Carl was a little disappointed when he saw that Rose was really not going to accept Ye Mingzhu.At the same time, she thought to herself, at least she accepted everything else.It seems that before the relationship goes further, he still doesn't want to give these things away.

"There will be a ball in the Earl's Mansion next week. I wonder if I have the honor to invite Miss Rose to attend as my female companion." After putting down the gift, Carl talked about the second purpose of today.

"Is it next Wednesday?" Rose asked with certainty.

When Carl heard Rose ask this, he had a bad premonition, "Yes, next Wednesday. In Downing Street."

When Rose heard this, she could only say with a sorry face: "Oh, I'm very sorry, Carl. Yesterday, I promised Mr. Linxi."

Carl frowned and asked, "Mr. Linxi?" Carl had a strong sense of crisis.If this is the real person, then the time or possibility for him to embrace the beauty will be even slimmer.

"Yes, Mr. Ann Lindsey."

"That's such a pity. But I just hope that when I see Miss Rose again at the party, Miss Rose can dance for the honor."

Rose nodded and smiled.

As we all know, Ann Linxi is the first and only heir of the British fire merchant.Not only that, but I am also quite outstanding, young and promising, and handsome.Although a bit disgraceful in birth.

That afternoon, Carl came with hope and left with disappointment.However, compared to Carl's depressed mood, Rose's mood is extremely good.

There is no other reason, Kang Xing is coming to England.This guy will come to the UK tomorrow on the Elizabeth, which leaves Qingdao to live in the UK.Come here with a few Chinese people and gifts for Rose.

The reason why Kang Xing wanted to come to England so soon was actually because Rose had told them through the telegraph that the blueprints she had obtained might be a bit useless compared to Britain, but they could indeed help China get started.

Huaxia people are very smart, as long as they enter the door.The matter of practice can go a long way in one day.In fact, Rose's ambition is not great. She hopes to improve China's overall level, and if possible, lower the level of Britain, America, Germany and Japan.Of course, as far as the last point is concerned, that is tantamount to nonsense.

"Miss, the car is ready. Do you want to start now?" Tracy woke up Rose who had been staring at the window in a daze since Carl left.

"Go and get my trench coat. No, just a wool cape." In fact, there is no need to wear thick coats in Britain now.

On the lawn outside the church, Rose gently pulled back the hair that had blown on her face, and asked casually,

"Father Madagascar, God is omnipresent. Is it?"

Father Madagascar, holding a Bible in his hand, made a sign of the cross in front of him with his fingers, and said seriously: "Yes, God loves the world. We are all God's people."

"But recently, I came to know that there are still people in the far east who don't know the existence of God. It's incredible." Rose said sadly to the priest beside her, imitating Shih Tzu holding her heart .

Father Madagascar was stunned, "Is the East China China? How could it be?"

"Yes. Some of my classmates are foreign students from Huaxia. They told me."

"But 400 years ago, our clergy had already been to that continent. God's light had already spread on that land."

"Oh, Father Madagascar. You don't know that this continent is too big. It is said that it is very xenophobic. The people there have their own beliefs, and it is difficult for them to accept our great God."

"How could this be? My church members mentioned it a few days ago. They have developed a lot of church members there."

Suffered, worn out.

Rose pressed the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and said again: "How long have the followers of Father Madagascar been there? Where did they develop the followers?"

"I've been there for seven or eight years. I heard it was in a place called Guangzhou." Father Madagascar thought about it.Said not quite sure.

"I know that place called Guangzhou, which is a coastal city. Because I often come into contact with foreigners, I want to be more open. However,"

"But what?"

"If my predictions are correct, the priest's congregation, the congregation he develops, should not be too many native Chinese. Those foreigners may be the main new force."

"You mean," if you think about it according to Rose's thinking, a large part of those congregants are actually Westerners.

"Yes. Speaking of it, Father Madagascar, I have always had an idea since I heard about it from my Huaxia classmates. I want to sponsor some outstanding clergy to go to Huaxia. To spread the gospel of God. It's just People speak lightly."

"Miss Rose wants me to help you, doesn't she?"

"Yes. I know that Father Madagascar is a respected priest. I also know that you are a priest with a wide range of friends. If I can get your help, I will be very honored."

Father Madagascar was silent for a moment, until the two of them came under a sycamore tree, he said seriously: "Next month will be the annual gathering of the clergy. Wish to pass on to those faithful who intend to go east to preach."

In fact, Father Madagascar has long had the idea to go around the world to see and walk around.It's just that he is old and unwilling to give up this stable job.Second, when going out to preach, the expenses on the way are quite considerable.

But Rose's words today made him hesitate a lot.He had to think about this matter carefully.Of course, if it can be approved by the bishop, it will be sent by the church.Then this matter can be said otherwise.

Speaking of this, Rose has nothing to say.Even she herself didn't know why she suddenly thought of going to Huaxia to fool the gang of gods.Is it just because in those few movies, in the land of China baptized by the flames of war, can there be more churches for the suffering people to take refuge?

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Rose waved away and left the church.
