Chapter 142 English Country Love Story 4(1/2)

The girl quickly recovered her emotions and announced her name to Jia Huan: "My name is Victoria."

Victoria?

Princess? Queen?

impossible?

Princess Victoria is now tightly controlled by her mother, the Duchess, so how could she go out to play on the streets of London alone?

I am too sensitive.

"Nice to meet you, can we be friends?"

Victoria asked Jia Huan expectantly.

Although her love is shattered, there is still friendship!

"Okay." Jia Huan nodded.

It's just to deal with the girl in front of me.

He didn't think that after they separated today, the two of them would have a chance to meet again.

Two people are not of the same class.

Although Mr. Bennet is a gentleman, he is just a rich man from the countryside. The real nobles look down on the Bennet family.

They are not in the same circle as the nobles.

Victoria was so happy that she pulled Jia Huan and kept talking.

Victoria knew a lot about poetry, literature and current affairs...

She knows several languages.

Jia Huan was not surprised.

Noble ladies learn from childhood and are carefully cultivated by their families.

Victoria was surprised.

She thought that Jia Huan was just a child from an ordinary family, but she didn't expect that Jia Huan knew so much.

No matter what topic she talks about, Jia Huan can pick it up.

Victoria was very happy.

She also doesn't want the first friend she meets to be an ordinary person.

The ladies of the Bennet family finally discovered that Jia Huan was missing, so they looked for her and found that Jia Huan was talking to a beautiful little girl.

"Oh my God, Mom is so happy. My dear Catherine finally takes the initiative to make friends."

Victoria saw a group of women walking by and asked, "Are they people you know?"

Jia Huan replied: "It's my mother and sisters. They came to see me."

"Oh, then you go to them. I'm leaving too."

Victoria doesn't want to have contact with Mrs. Bennet and others.

Just because she accepted Jia Huan as a friend does not mean that she will accept Jia Huan's relatives.

Victoria waved her hand at Jia Huan and left.

Elizabeth Yin stepped forward and blamed: "Catherine, why did you run away without telling us?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Jia Huan pretended to be well-behaved and disciplined.

This made Yin Lisabai's anger dissipate immediately.

Think about it, Catherine is usually very well-behaved, unlike Lydia who is always noisy.

What happened today must be that she was not interested in shopping, so she got separated from them, right?

Jane asked gently: "Is the little girl just now your new friend?"

Jia Huan: "That's right."

Jane: "He seems to be a very temperamental child. He must have a good background."

Jia Huan: "Probably."

Mrs. Bennet said: "My dear, that child won't be a lady from a noble family, right? It's great that you can make friends with her. I wonder if you will be able to enter the aristocratic circle with her in the future."

Jia Huan: "I don't know."

Mrs. Bennet: "What do you mean?"

Lisa White: "Mom, Catherine doesn't know the child's background. They just met."

Mrs. Bennet: "Then we'll find out if we meet more often."

Jia Huan said he didn't want to talk.

Elizabeth Yin and Jane diverted Mrs. Bennet's attention with topics, and everyone took Jia Huan back to the Gardiner House on Tian'en Temple Street.

They came back with a full load and bought a lot of things, big and small.

Lydia and Mary spent all the pocket money they had saved for years.

Everyone is very satisfied.

This day's shopping consumed all the ladies' energy. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Jia Huan and Lidya share a room.

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. When the night got dark, Jia Huan opened her eyes.

Lydia slept deeply.

She was exhausted today.

However, just to be on the safe side, Jia Huan clicked on her sleeping point to make her sleep deeper.

Opening the window, Jia Huan jumped out from the second floor.

Like a nimble cat, Jia Huan landed lightly, then jumped out quickly, his figure blending into the darkness.

He quickly arrived at the port warehouse during the day.

The warehouse door was locked, but it was of no use to Jia Huan.

He was personally taught how to pick locks by Jinpei Matsuda. A piece of iron wire can open any lock. His skills are directly on par with Yokohama's lock-picking king Dazai Osamu.

Opening the door, Jia Huan walked in.

There are wooden cargo boxes neatly arranged inside the warehouse.

Jia Huan pried open a wooden box and looked through the goods inside.

The contents inside were dark brown and smelled of old urine, which was extremely strong.

There is no mistake, these things are opium.

There are at least eight or nine tons of opium in this warehouse. If all were shipped to that country in the east, I don't know how many people would be harmed.

Jia Huan's eyes were cold. Now that he had encountered it, he would never allow these things to escape.

More than ten minutes later, a fire broke out in the dock warehouse.

After people found out, they ran to put out the fire, only to find that the warehouse had been doused with oil, causing the fire to be so intense that it was impossible to put out the fire quickly.

When the fire finally subsided and the fire brigade arrived to extinguish the fire, everything in the warehouse was burned.

Jia Huan took advantage of others to put out the fire and checked other warehouses in the port. Fortunately, no more opium was found.

However, opium was discovered on one ship.

This ship is about to set sail for the East.

Jia Huan sneered and did something on the boat.

When the ship reaches the sea, as long as it encounters a little wind and waves, it will fall apart, and the opium in the ship will sink to the bottom of the sea.

Don't say the crew members are innocent.

They all know what is carried on the ship.

After doing all this, Jia Huan felt better.

In this life, he is not an Oriental, and there is only so much he can do for that country.

Alas, if possible, he really wanted to visit that country.

It's a pity that not only was he a girl in this life, but he is still a child and has no chance to go abroad.

Jia Huan returned to Gardiner's house, jumped back to his room, returned to bed, closed his eyes, and slept.

As for what happens at the port, it will not affect Tianen Temple Street.

The next day, the ladies who had regained their energy continued to go shopping.

This time, they brought enough money.
To be continued...
