[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 13

On the long western-style table, on Rose's left is Linxi, on the right is Karl, and on Karl's right, needless to say, is also known as the Lushang Mrs. Russell.

"Dear Rose, I haven't seen Rufu and Andrew for a while. Haven't they returned to England yet?" Sien Ashton was sitting opposite Rose, in the gap between the waiter serving the meal, friendly asked.

"No, thank you." After rejecting the haggis presented by the waiter, Rose replied: "Yes, they went to Cairo. I heard that they will transfer to New Zealand. It is estimated that they will not be able to return until the end of August at the earliest. "

For this haggis packed in a sheep's stomach, Rose has never been used to eating it.You, this is how savages eat.Suppressing the urge to queasy, Rose was ready to examine the additional food that the waiter brought up.

"I regret not being able to attend their wedding."

"Being able to attend my parents' wedding, this makes me have no regrets in my life." Rose replied playfully.

"Ahem," Carl has been paying attention to Rose. Hearing Rose's words, Haggis, who just entered the entrance, is a little out of control.

It's very rude to cough at the dinner table, but Karl just can't help it.Fortunately, the people on the long dining table did not pay too much attention.

"Speaking of which, we would like to congratulate Mr. Emes on another masterpiece of the White Star Company, and wish the Olympic a successful maiden voyage in advance." At this moment, a slightly raised voice attracted Rose's attention.

The Olympic ship officially set sail on NO.14 in June this year.I heard that this cruise ship is the sister ship of the Titanic, and it is exactly the same as the Titanic in terms of appearance and decoration.Originally, Rose wanted to visit the cruise ship in advance, but it was a pity that Andrew was not in the UK.

She remembered that in her previous life, she had read some articles.It said that the reason why the Titanic sank was a conspiracy by the White Star Company.In fact, the real shipwreck was the Olympic.It's just a sum of insurance money or something.

Although she didn't know if it was true or not, since she found out about the Olympic, Rose specially sent Carter to find out the details.After learning that the White Star Company did not create this shipwreck that was tantamount to murder, he put down his curiosity about Olympiad.

"Thank you, as a shareholder of White Star Corporation. I look forward to it more than anyone else." Imes raised his glass to express his gratitude to the person who was speaking.

"Speaking of which, with regard to the stock of White Star Company, it is becoming more and more difficult to buy now." From the construction of the Titanic to the official sailing of the Olympics, the stock of White Star Company can be said to have risen to sky-high prices. Hard to find.

......

Afterwards, Rose couldn't listen to the topic anyway.For those topics about stocks, factories, workers, etc., Rose really doesn't have that IQ.

At the same time, on a cruise ship from China to the UK, Kang Xing was sitting on the sofa in the room, holding a cup of black tea in his hand, and slowly drinking it.In front of him, three men, three women and one six stood obediently.

"I will arrive in England in a few days. What should be said has already been said. I think you all know what to do."

Several people glanced at each other, and Miao Xing's family took a step forward, bent down and replied respectfully: "Master Kang, please rest assured, the younger ones are all awake. If the younger two families hadn't been merciful by Master Kang, they would have died a long time ago." Let's divide things up. The little ones will work hard to complete the things that Master Kang ordered, even if they are smashed to pieces."

It turned out that among the six people in front of Kang Xing, except for the little man at the end, the other five were all from the mansion of the prisoner who committed the crime and ransacked his home.There are three members of Miao Xing's family. Miao Xing specially does some carving and jewelry work for his master in the criminal mansion.Usually, the carved boxes for gifts in the mansion are all ordered by him, just like making jewelry.

But Kang Xing knew that even jewelry work could be useful in England.After all, there are still great differences in regions. It is said that stones from other mountains can be used to make jade, and Miss Rose should be able to accept it.Even if it is unacceptable, there is no way. There are many people in China for this kind of jewelry work, but it is not so easy for him to buy it and send it to England.

Miao Xing's family is an embroiderer of needlework, making clothes, embroidering purses, flowers and so on are pretty delicate.It is difficult for an embroiderer from a wealthy family to be exquisite.

As for Duo'er, the daughter of Miao Xing's family, she was serving by the prisoner's family, and she combed her hair well.

It took Kang Xing a lot of face to find these three people among a group of official slaves.As for Li Da's family, who were also servants of criminal officials, it didn't take much effort.The general official family has several large and small kitchens.The couple are just the masters of red and white cases in one of the small kitchens.The men are good at cooking, and the women are good at dim sum.

As for the last small man, his name is Changxing.He is indeed a Kangxing man.Kang Xing asked him to wait on the pair of giant pandas he had caught.To them, Rose is a big patron, and they must have some control over everything about the patron.It is also convenient for them to know what is going on in England and Rose at any time if they have someone of their own in the UK.

It's not that they can't trust Rose, but she is a foreign woman, so why should they believe her.Although looking at the conditions listed at the beginning, China is taking advantage of it no matter how you look at it.But there is no pie in the sky. This kind of good thing has rarely been encountered by Chinese people since the Kangxi Dynasty.

There is also the matter of helping to buy arms this time, the Huaxia coup is Huaxia's business, she is so active, her heart is suspicious.So, after comprehensive consideration, they sent Changxing.Changxing is the son of the Kang family, and his parents and family members are all in Huaxia.

Kang Xing and others taught him some daily English and the use of the telegraph in the shortest possible time.Even when they got on the boat, they used Changxing's seasickness as an excuse to ask Changxing to learn something useful by himself behind closed doors.

"That's good. Now that you have gone out, don't embarrass the people of the country. Work hard to do your job well. The master will not treat you badly."

"Yes, little ones understand. Please rest assured, Master Kang." Hearing what Kang Xing said, the six immediately replied in unison.

In mid-July, Kang Xing finally landed at a wharf in England with the people and gifts that Rose asked for.

After disembarking, Kang Xing and the others first transferred to another train.To the city of London.I found a hotel in the city and took a rest.On the second day, Kang Xing sent someone to send a famous post to Bukett's residence.It's not that Kang Xing wanted to be so polite, it's just that he wasn't alone this time.Who knows if it will be convenient for Rose to bring the servants to the door.

Coincidentally, at this time Rose just finished all her college courses and was staying at home to gain weight.There are more and more places to spend money, but some of Rose's meat can't be supplied.

Xiao Jiang, the former system manager, also reminded Rose that Rose's fat supply has been gradually decreasing in the past two months.

After receiving the news that Kang Xingyi was going to England, Rose couldn't contain her excitement.In particular, Kang Xing brought her a pair of giant pandas.In her previous life, she knew that this thing was a national treasure, and she would give it to this country today and that country tomorrow.

But the people of their own country can only look at these naive little guys with dark circles through the big fence from a distance.I remember that Rose only saw giant pandas once before, and that was during the National Day.There were too many people, and they only glanced at it in a hurry.

Well now, she's about to have a pair.She can see it however she wants.Rufu will live with Andrew after marriage, and she is the only one in the Bookett family.She decided that she would raise pandas free-range.

Something in a cage, that's gross.In her home, giant pandas can go wherever they want.

"Tracey, Tracy, call the housekeeper quickly." Rose thought of this, and suddenly realized an important thing, she forgot about the giant panda's rations.

"Miss Rose, is something wrong?" Charlie, the housekeeper, was called over by Tracy who was holding up her skirt, feeling a little anxious.

"Uncle Charlie, it's like this. My Huaxia classmate gave me a pair of pets. The pets will come to the house tomorrow. I need you. Now you send someone to get some bamboo back. It's best if it can grow. Just plant Near the foot of the wall behind the back garden."

"Miss Rose, does this pet have anything to do with bamboo? And Britain, it seems that I have never heard of a flower called bamboo." The old housekeeper somehow replied to Rose, feeling that the bamboo in his lady's mouth was too ignorant. .

Rose: "...It's fine if you don't have one. However, you should clean up the area next to the wall in the back garden first." Is there still such a crop as bamboo in Britain at this time?Butler Charlie doesn't pay much attention to these things, so he hasn't heard of them.

If there is really no bamboo in Britain, wouldn't her pandas starve to death?God, how could this happen.

Hey, wait a minute.Kang Xing was able to bring pandas from China to England.There must be something to eat these two months.So he should have ready-made bamboo there.She remembered that their office once raised bamboo in water.It seems that it can grow in the soil after it has roots.

Forget it, didn't the message from Kang Xing say that he specially recruited someone to take care of the giant panda?There should be something worthwhile about what you want to eat.

"Okay. Miss Rose, do you have any other orders?"

"Clean up four more rooms. My Huaxia classmate gave me a few people. There are six people, three men, three women, and six people. They will be responsible for making Chinese food, clothes and jewelry for me. Oh, and one of them is a pet owner. of."

"Is it a servant?"

"Yes. The same treatment as our family's servants. Oh, I remembered. Isn't there a small second floor behind the main building? Let's clean up that place separately for these people in Huaxia to live in."

Behind the main building of Bookett's house, facing the back garden diagonally.There is a small second floor.There are seven or eight bedrooms and a kitchen.There is also a gravel road between the second small building and the main building.It is independent and convenient for them to live.

It turned out that the head of a certain generation of the Bookett family had established it for their illegitimate children.Now is the right time for Rose to arrange and approve Chinese migrant workers.

"Ok."
