Chapter 101 Night Party
After leaving the place where Tang Ruowang lived, Zhu Youxiao did not go anywhere else. Instead, he returned to his residence and began to sift through and sort out the knowledge and information about shipbuilding in his mind. Although this was one of the three technologies for which he collected the most information,
Things are quite messy, with all kinds of things, and they need to be sorted out.
The whole afternoon passed in silence as he meditated. In the evening, the white man who had been training the sailors to sail during the day was brought over. What was strange was that the young blonde girl who was at Tang Ruowang's place during the day also followed.
come over.
This aroused Zhu Youxiao's interest. Looking at her posture, it was obvious that she wanted to talk to him alone about something. Otherwise, why would she not say a word when there was such a good opportunity during the day. However, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to ask questions.
Instead, he asked about the first mate...
The first mate was Taron Isaac, a Spaniard. The merchant ship he was on was attacked by pirates while sailing to the east. He jumped into the sea during the chaos and was later rescued by a passing merchant ship and ended up in Macau.
.
"Oh, then why don't you go back to your hometown?" Zhu Youxiao asked a little strangely.
Tarun shook his head with a wry smile, and said in weird Chinese, "Sir, let's not talk about the cost of returning to my hometown. I, a penniless person, can't afford it. Even if I go back, what can I do? All I have is
All my savings were exchanged for goods and put on the merchant ship together with the captain. Apart from the goods, I didn’t have a penny of property.”
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao understood that the other party wanted to try his hand at the East, a place where gold is said to be everywhere. At least he could earn a certain amount of gold and return to his hometown to buy property.
After repeated questions several times, Zhu Youxiao finally confirmed that this guy was just a skilled crew mate and had no other specialties except navigation. After waving his hand and asking him to step back, Zhu Youxiao looked at him with interest.
asked the blonde girl who had been listening.
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
"That's it, Your Highness the Emperor Taisun." She read out the three words "Emperor Taisun" slowly and word by word. Although the tone was still inaccurate, others could still hear clearly what it meant.
"I hope to get a job with His Highness." Serena asked with some expectation.
"Oh, get a job here?" Zhu Youxiao asked, "Miss Serena, why did you end up living in Macau?"
Zhu Youxiao was indeed a little curious about this idea. How did a weak girl cross the ocean and come to Macau, China, thousands of miles away. You know, the pirates and businessmen along the way were not law-abiding gentlemen. Faced with such a
A delicious little sheep will hold back.
When Wang Wenyan's people met Serena, she seemed to be in danger. Her gorgeous clothes were in tatters, and there were blood stains on some parts of her body. She looked panicked, as if she was running away from something.
Hearing this question, Serena's eyes turned red and she looked sad. She seemed to have recalled some sad memories. "Your Highness, this is all in the past. I don't want to mention him now. I just want to live in the peaceful and peaceful country of Ming Dynasty."
Just keep living." She said with some suffocation.
The pitiful appearance of pear blossoms with rain, combined with the body that is plumper than that of Chinese women, is quite charming for a while, and looks charming. Although Zhu Youxiao is not a person who cherishes beauty, but facing a weak girl, he is really asking questions
Not wanting to go on, I had to change the subject and asked, "What about Miss Serena?"
"I...can...can read poems, arrange flowers, and put on makeup..." Serena was thinking about what she knew. After talking about it a few times, she realized that the things she knew were flashy.
There was no use for it, and the more he spoke, the softer his voice became.
Zhu Youxiao looked at her helplessly. What use could these things have? She was just a Western girl. He said that he would support her, but the other party said that he wanted to use work in exchange for payment. He didn't want to hurt the other party's self-esteem.
.
"I... I did very well in etiquette class, and I also did well in essays." As if remembering something, Serena blushed, bit her lip, and said in a somewhat condescending manner.
"Hey!" Zhu Youxiao was helpless, "Miss Serena, you have to know that this is the East, the etiquette you know is not popular here, and literary studies are not popular here."
Upon hearing this, Serena lowered her head and lightly tapped the ground with her toes. She seemed to realize that she didn't have any special skills that could be exchanged for labor remuneration.
"Forget it..." Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth, not intending to delay any longer.
"Your Highness, my language class is very good. I can speak many languages, including Spanish, English, French, German, and Greek." Suddenly, Serena raised her head and said with a beaming face. Her sudden movements interrupted the conversation.
Zhu Youxiao’s words later.
"Uh!" Zhu Youxiao paused and swallowed what he was about to say next. This blond girl is really persistent and insists on living by her own ability.
"Okay, for the time being, you will serve as Priest Tang Ruowang's assistant and help him translate those Western works. Later, when I get Western works here, you will also translate them. How about it?" Zhu Youxiao said quickly.
"Okay, okay." Serena laughed, so happy that her eyes narrowed into a thin line.
"Thank you, Your Merciful Highness." She performed the strange etiquette and left happily, without asking how much her reward was.
"What a strange girl." Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and then he ignored her. She just opened her mouth to eat more, and he could still afford it.
After getting to know the two Westerners, Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to them. No matter how hidden the story was, it was nothing compared to his affairs. After heaving a slow breath, he closed his eyes again and began to talk silently.
He sorted out the information in his mind, and when he was almost done, he took out his usual quill and paper and started writing furiously.
In addition to copying large sections of technical information from his mind, he also drew many simple drawings. These drawings are very simple, consisting only of lines and various arcs, but it can be seen that what he drew are all kinds of simple drawings.
All kinds of ships.
In the next few days, he stayed in his room and did one thing, copying and drawing. He did not go on inspection tours, nor did he care about the expansion of the Yulin Army, except for occasionally picking up a spear in the morning.
Apart from practicing martial arts, he did not dare to do anything else, so he concentrated on writing information on shipbuilding.
It wasn't until there were three days left before the grand parade on the school grounds that he stopped his movements, took a thick stack of information, ran to the small shipyard in the port, and summoned all the master craftsmen.
