Chapter Twelve Beautiful Men (2)
Chapter 12: Beautiful Man (2)
The new wharf is the only place where foreigners can live for a long time after coming to the Ming Dynasty.
After the Lantian Dynasty truly started the maritime trade business, it quickly changed from a desolate harbor to a residential area built with wooden boards.
People here enter Guangzhou City to conduct various transactions or work every day at dawn, and must return to the new wharf to live in the city when it is dark. No one can stay in Guangzhou City.
This applies to foreigners of any status.
Of course, the law will always leave some room for implementation. As for whom it is open to, it depends on the arrangements of the Guangzhou Maritime Bureau.
The blonde and blue-eyed Europeans, the thin and hardworking Japanese, the fleeing Korean nobles, the dark South Asians, and the tightly wrapped Arabs all occupied a place of residence at the new pier.
Their residential areas are clearly divided and they live together. However, the area here is very small, and any tiny conflict will turn into an uncontrollable melee.
When Howard brought Simon back to the new dock, there had just been a violent fight here, with both sides of the fight being the Korean nobles and the Arabs.
Their families live very close, and the North Koreans seem to have a sense of superiority towards these Arabs, and the fight between the two sides has never stopped.
The result of this fight was obvious, and the North Koreans won.
Seven or eight Arab corpses were upside down on the ground, all of whom were killed by arrows.
The North Koreans are the only race here in the New Pier that can be allowed to carry weapons such as bows and crossbows.
Although before the North Koreans entered the new dock, the Guangzhou Maritime Bureau once said it was clear that they were allowed to carry crossbows mainly to protect their safety, and they were not allowed to use crossbows for fighting.
But at the new wharf, who will really supervise the implementation of this regulation?
The Ming Dynasty seemed to have given special treatment to the Koreans.
Especially the nobles among the Koreans.
These people can write and speak the language of the Ming Dynasty, which is the main reason why they are full of superiority.
It is also the reason why they have the benefits.
The best jobs are basically occupied by the North Koreans. Most of the things that Europeans can do are technical jobs that North Koreans can't do. The remaining hard and tiring work belongs to other races.
Seeing this, Howard believes that his top priority is to learn to speak Ming Dynasty.
Only through language communication can he let the Ming people see his strengths and advantages.
When a Qingyi official from the Ming Dynasty visited the Xinwai, Howard's focus was not on what these people said. He couldn't understand anything he said, and those Koreans who could understand the Ming language would not interpret it for them.
Howard is concerned about the clothes of these people!
He found that among a large group of people, there was only one person qualified to wear that soft blue robe, and the blue robe was undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, not everyone can wear a green robe.
Howard thought he could keep up with the trend. When he was in London, he made a living by this thing.
He believed that, first of all, it would be wrong to move closer to the Ming people from their clothes.
There are many skilled craftsmen on the new wharf, especially the tailors of the North Koreans. I heard that the Ming Dynasty clothes they made were sold very well in Guangzhou.
With Simon's arrangement, Howard got two sets of blue shirts that Ming scholars often wore. However, these two sets of blue shirts are different from the beautiful sky-blue clothes worn by officials, and the color is blue.
Howard tried these two sets of clothes no less than ten times and changed them so many times. Finally, when the North Korean tailor was about to explode, Simon paid the money and the clothes were no longer changed.
When Howard put on these two sets of blue shirts with a slightly European style, then finished his hair bun and inserted a hairpin, Howard looked at the seemingly strange and familiar Westerner in the mirror and said to Simon: "There are some beauty in common."
Simon looked at Howard who had changed his appearance in a daze and said, "Your style is still unmatched, but are you really going to climb over the wall to have a tryst with that beautiful North Korean woman tonight?"
Howard smiled and said, "Simon, you should understand that although I don't know why that North Korean woman was wearing clothes that exposed her breasts, her **s were not well seen so that everyone admired her. (It's not nonsense, this is the clothes worn by North Korean women in the late Ming Dynasty).
But he can speak the Ming Dynasty. I need her to teach me the Ming Dynasty. I also hope to contact a Ming Dynasty person who can truly change our destiny through her."
Simon smiled and said, "This is why you have modified your clothes ten times? I actually don't understand. You don't understand what she said, and she doesn't understand what you said. How did you make a date with her?"
Howard looked at Simon and said quietly: "Some words need not be said, some things need not be said, and some things need not be said. The women in the world are actually the same."
When the light blue moon rises from the sea, the islands in the distance become a bit like giant whales in the sea... The waves appear from the sea, and finally turn over and over and wash the beach.
There are many mosquitoes in the coconut forest, but it does not prevent two enthusiastic men and women. Their enthusiasm is like waves, one after another...
"You killed me..."
"You killed me..."
"Yes, that's it..."
"Yes, that's it..."
"You'll come tomorrow..."
"You'll come tomorrow..."
A long time ago, Howard once heard a philosopher say that reproduction is the instinct of human beings and the foundation of human beings’ lives. When life is the strongest, it is the time when life is reproduced.
At this time, people's spirit is the most focused, and their thinking and memory are at their peak.
Because human reproduction is intermittent and can be delayed for a long time, the strong Howard has enough time and energy to carry out his own learning plan.
Howard dated that North Korean woman for half a year...
On a sunny morning, the woman was packed into a bamboo cage by his tribe and dragged her to parade on the beach.
Howard looked at the woman with a bulging belly in sadness. When the woman saw Howard, she also looked at him foolishly. Howard pulled out his stinging sword and rushed down fiercely from the beach. After only two steps, he was knocked to the ground by his loyal servant Simon. Then more Europeans appeared and dragged Howard back.
The woman cried and the cold-looking North Koreans dragged the bamboo cage into the sea without mercy...
The sea drowned the woman and the miserable screams of that woman.
Simon's neck stretched out, and after watching the sea swallowing the bamboo cage, the North Koreans left the beach, they said to Howard, who was sitting behind him chewing the tobacco leaves, said: "It's over."
Howard sighed and said, "I really wanted to save her just now, you shouldn't stop me."
Simon said: "She is pregnant with your child."
Howard said: "I actually have a lot of kids."
Simon said again: "You can't find other North Korean women to teach you how to speak Ming Dynasty."
Howard smiled and said, "I already know how to say a lot of Ming dynasties. Now, it's time to practice."
Simon frowned and said, "You are talking about the Ming people in Guangzhou. What they say is obviously different from the Ming words you learned."
Howard looked at the coconut forest not far away and sighed: "In that coconut forest, the woman taught me some big Ming words. We sat face to face on the beach. She held my hand and taught me with strokes. She was a very good woman."
"It's all for money, right?"
Howard smiled and said, "Yes, this is our ultimate goal."
"The Ming people in Guangzhou City look down on you, and they are not even willing to talk to you."
Howard raised his hand and grabbed Simon's beard and said, "I know many Korean women. One woman even taught me to read the Book of Songs. I think the most beautiful poem is - a beautiful lady, a gentleman."
Simon said: "Why don't you look for a Ming woman in Guangzhou? You are so handsome and strong that they will definitely fall in love with you."
Howard looked at Simon and said, "As far as I know, the Ming people are different from the Koreans. If I let a Ming woman get pregnant, his family will kill me, rather than killing their daughters like the Koreans.
Okay, I won’t tell you, the beautiful ginger is dead, I want to go to the coconut forest to miss her..."
Lai Qingbo's most annoying thing is to die.
Because of a mistake, he was sent to the new wharf by the Maritime Bureau.
He hated the place New Pier, which seemed to emit a rotten smell at any time.
Seeing the sheds set up in the sea and watching the children with indescribable shape jumping into the sea from the plank road naked, the boredom in his eyes became even stronger.
If I weren't looking forward to returning to Maritime Service one day, Lai Qingbo wouldn't stay in this place for an extra second.
He was surrounded by Koreans, and there were more Japanese waiting for him not far away.
Some strong Europeans kept saying hello to him, hoping to attract his attention and find a better job.
The Korean country was occupied by the Jianzhou people, and they had to flee the place by boat. The rest, including the Europeans, and the Japanese, took the risk to Guangzhou after they could not survive in their hometowns.
Although life here is not satisfactory, no matter who it is, as long as you are willing to work, you can eat well.
This is related to a law of the Ming Dynasty - anyone has the right to have enough food!
In the Ming Dynasty, even if it was a robbery, if you only took food without hurting others and you had no food, then even if the government caught it, the sentencing would be very light, and at most it would be labor.
The North Korean raised his legs and kicked over an Arab who blocked Lai Qingbo's way. Lai Qingbo waved his hand irritably and let the noisy North Koreans leave. At this moment, he just wanted to find a quiet place to be quiet for a while.
The coconut forest is the quietest place. Except for some small crabs crawling around here, basically no one has annoyed him.
The sand here is very clean, but there is one person.
Lai Qingbo was about to scold this man and let him leave, but he found some words on the sand - Guanguan Jujiu, on the island of the river. A beautiful lady, a gentleman is a good match. The unkempt watercress flowed from side to side. A beautiful lady, a beautiful lady, a long-awaited...
He thought it was a North Korean, but when he walked up to him, he realized that the person who was writing was actually a blonde and blue-eyed European.
He was wearing a very well-fitting Rushan, and his facial features were different from those of the Ming people. He was like a knife and axe, and he had a more statue-like feeling.
Looking at his warm smile, Lai Qingbo was about to speak, but he found that the European clasped his fists and said, "I heard from the saints that what is China? The beauty of the clothes is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia.
Now I wear Chinese clothes and respect Chinese etiquette. Can you regard me as a Ming Dynasty person?"
Lai Qingbo sneered and said, "Switch off your skin and reincarnate again, maybe you will become a Chinese person."
Howard laughed after hearing this, and then bowed again: "I have three strategies. The best strategy can make the husband prosperous, the middle strategy can make the husband rich, and the worst strategy can make the husband the real owner of the new wharf.
I wonder which plan sir wants?"
