【030】 The Qing ambassador

This person's name is Cui Guoyin, courtesy name Huiren. He was born in Gantang, Anhui Province in 1931. In the 15th year of Guangxu's reign (1889), he was sent to the United States, Spain and Peru, and served as the Qing Dynasty's ambassador to the United States. In the 18th year of Guangxu's reign, he was

Return to China after serving!

This sentence was shouted in Spanish. Melissa was stunned when she heard it: This Chinese with long braids has been to Madrid? Have you met Aunt Cristina?

Naturally, Long Hao didn't know the origin of Cui Guoyin, but he heard this official claiming to be 'the envoy', and he guessed the identity of the other party, so he slapped Melissa on her pert buttocks and whispered

Said: "Don't be afraid of him. He is an official of the Qing Dynasty. It's not too late to respect you! By the way, when you answer him, be more arrogant. The more arrogant the better!"

Melissa felt an itch on her buttocks, and felt numb in her heart. She couldn't help but secretly muttered: Ocean, you little hooligan, don't you even look at where you're shooting?

But the members of the field team behind him could see it clearly, and they couldn't help but raise their thumbs in their hearts: The young master is the young master, and he dares to pat the butt of a foreign girl and princess casually! What an idol, tsk tsk, the young master is so talented that he took this horse when he was only 12 years old.

The ocean horse has surrendered...

"When this princess came out, everything was fine with Christina. Are you an envoy of the Qing Empire? Why didn't you kneel down when you saw this princess?"

Melissa, who was distracted by being photographed, put on a straight face and shouted coldly.

Cui Guoyin was stunned and raised his back: "Princess, what you said is wrong. The ceremony of kneeling is only for the monarch and his ministers. You are the princess of Rizbania, and I am the envoy of the Qing Dynasty. Just bow, why do you need to kneel down?"

After saying that, he took off his official hat and bowed deeply.

Want to be arrogant?

Melissa remained motionless and snorted coldly from behind the veil.

Fang Mingde had come out a long time ago. Seeing this situation, although he couldn't understand Spanish, he knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly came out to smooth things over: "Princess is coming to the humble abode. It's windy and sandy outside. Why don't we go inside and talk slowly? Haha, I have something to say.

, talk slowly..."

Seeing that the other party had no doubts about Melissa's identity, after Long Hao translated, Melissa nodded, raised her hand and said: "Dear ocean, lead the way!"

The little hand that was as white as a fish was raised in vain, and the meaning was very clear, asking Long Hao to come and support it and lead the way forward.

The guests next to him saw this, and looked at Long Hao again. They saw this oriental young man with red lips and white teeth, a face like a crown jewel, and a talented appearance. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Why did such a handsome young man cut off his pigtails to become the male favorite of a foreign princess?

ah!

Long Hao put those strange looks in his eyes, feeling sulky in his heart, but he couldn't get angry, so he had no choice but to step forward and hold Melissa's hand as he was told, and followed Fang Mingde, Cui Guoyin and others to the big green tile house at the back.

Cui Yuanlang fell behind. When Long Hao walked away, he snatched the red silk gift plate back from Fang Yingming's hand and glared at the somewhat stunned eldest son of the Fang family: "Grandma, how dare you accept these gifts?"

?Be careful, I will reward you with a bullet!"

There are ten gold bars weighing two kilograms on the plate. The young master is not rich recently, so I, Lao Cui, will help him save them...

Members of the field regiment walked past one by one with guns on their backs and murderous intent exposed. Fang Yingming swallowed hard: Who are these people? Why are they so evil?

When the last person walked away, Fang Yingming suddenly realized that his clothes were soaked!

The big house was spacious, but nothing could be heard. The maid served the brewed scented tea and cakes, and then was dismissed by Fang Mingde. There were only a few people left in the huge hall who could make the decisions!

Melissa, Long Hao, Cui Yuanlang, Fang Mingde, Cui Guoyin and Fang Yingming.

The evil stars from the field group also stayed outside the house at Long Hao's signal.

"Princess Melissa, I have something unclear, please clarify my doubts!" ​​Cui Guoyin took a sip of scented tea and frowned slightly: Overseas Chinese, after living here for decades, don't even know how to make tea?

Cui Guoyin was a Jinshi in 1871 and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He had extraordinary knowledge and was very particular about tea ceremony.

Scented tea means sprinkling flower petals on top of tea. How could Cui Guoyin, who was used to drinking tea, adapt to it? If he had come a few years later and had been drinking milk tea or coffee tea, I wonder if this imperial ambassador would have choked.

A life?

"Ask me, I've been interested in Chinese culture since I was a child, and I taught myself Chinese. Why don't you and I talk in Chinese, lest Mr. Fang doesn't understand and stares at me?" Melissa smiled generously, opened her mouth slightly, and spat out a sentence

Chuan Yai is pure Chinese.

After hearing this, Cui Guoyin's face looked happy, and Fang Mingde was also surprised, and then he also looked proud.

The foreign princess can speak our words, which shows that she has a good impression of our Qing Dynasty! The two looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Why are the princess's guards all from my Qing country?"

"Oh, they are not Qing people, they are Chinese. I rescued them at sea. I heard that they were persecuted by your officials and went into exile overseas!"

"Well……"

When Cui Guoyin was speechless, Long Hao hummed at the right time: "My father, Long Zhengxing, was framed and died in prison. My mother, Bai Ling, was hanging from the rafters. I was the only one left in the family who was living at sea. Unfortunately, I was hijacked by pirates on the way.

Fortunately, Princess Melissa saved us, so we cut off our braids and pledged our allegiance to her!”

After saying that, Long Hao squeezed out a few tears from his eyes.

"Long Zhengxing?"

How did Cui Guoyin know about a governor outside the Pass, so he had to say that he would compile a letter and send it back to his colleagues in the court. If Long Hao's father was indeed framed, he would be the emperor and clear the name of Long Hao's family!

Long Hao secretly sneered: So what if I am innocent? I am no longer the same Long Hao. Could it be that if the emperor grants amnesty, will I go back to lick everyone's toes?

"Then there's Ambassador Lau Cui. It's too slow to repair the book. Why don't you send a telegram? I'll pay for the telegram!" Long Hao pretended to be excited and stared at Cui Guoyin with a burning gaze.

This kid, repairing books is just a pretext, does he really think that I can write letters and send them back across the ocean? How could I not know about telegrams? I can only afford the money for telegrams, so why should you pay in advance?

Being bullied by Long Hao's words, Cui Guoyin was a little annoyed.

"It's not a busy matter, please don't rush me, my dear nephew!" However, Princess Melissa made it clear that she was very fond of this kid from the Long family, so Cui Guo said in a good voice because the overall situation was important.

After figuring out Long Hao's identity, the two sides seemed to be in a bit of embarrassment. Fortunately, Fang Mingde was experienced and quickly changed the subject: "Dear princess, I don't know if you come here, what advice do you have? There is no one here, just say it, if it is useful

If we get the Fang family’s place, we will do our best to cooperate!”

Fang Mingde didn't believe that a foreign princess came here just to give gifts and drink wine!

Melissa smiled, put down the teacup, and said: "Mr. Fang, please speak quickly! To be honest, I opened a company in the United States, and due to business needs, I want to acquire the 'Fang's Fishing Ground' under your name!"

As the teacup fell on the table, Fang Mingde's heart skipped a beat: Foreign princess, want my fishing ground?

Fang's Fishing Ground is considered the largest fishing ground among the Chinese in San Francisco! It covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, has more than 200 fishing boats, and has opened two artificial fish farms at the estuary. The seafood produced every day weighs more than a thousand kilograms!

However, with the erosion of foreign capital in recent years, life in Fang's fishing ground has not been easy. Many fishermen have switched to other foreign fishing grounds. Most of the remaining people are grateful to Fang's family. While operating two artificial fish farms, they also ferry

Attract customers, earn some income, and make ends meet.

Last year, Fang Yingming persuaded Fang Mingde to throw away the burden of Fang's Fishing Ground, but Fang Mingde has been hesitant. After all, Fang's Fishing Ground is his life's work, and it is not easy to let go!

Fang Mingde smiled bitterly and raised his tea cup: "Thank you for your kindness, princess, but our Fang family can still manage this fishery. I'm sorry, I can't sell it to you!"

No way, I've already moved out the 'great god' Melissa, and the old man from the Fang family still doesn't sell it? Long Hao frowned.

Melissa may have experienced Portland, but she remained calm at this moment, but knocked on the wooden table: "$50,000!"

50,000?!

Fang Yingming's heart skipped a beat. You must know that the German businessman's bid last year was only US$30,000!

"Not for sale!" Fang Mingde put down the teacup, because he realized that the other party was a foreign princess, and he didn't understand the Chinese way of serving tea to guests at all! He was so charming that he looked blind!

"60,000!"

"Sorry, although the Fang family is not a big family, they are not short of money!"

"80,000!"

"I'm really sorry!"



In the end, Melissa failed to pry open Mr. Fang's stubborn mouth. The price was raised to 90,000 US dollars, and the other party refused to let go. Therefore, Long Hao and others had no choice but to leave angrily.

His grandma's Chinese people in San Francisco are like stones in the pit - smelly and hard!

When Long Hao returned to his residence and was cursing angrily, Yuan'er suddenly ran upstairs and whispered to him: "Master, the eldest son of the Fang family is here to see you! Do you see him?"

Fang Yingming? Long Hao's eyes lit up, what is he doing?

"See you! Bring him up!"

It was night now. After Fang Yingming came in, he directly explained his purpose. Long Hao was angry and happy: This young master of the Fang family actually got the title deed of the Fang family's fishing ground, and he himself is the current head of the Fang family. He signed a contract with me.

From a US legal perspective, the contract has no problem at all!
