Under the gaze of both parties, Xu Shuhua came wearing an elegant long dress.Although she concealed her relationship with Gu Yunji, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she still wore her hair in a woman's bun today, and her face had just the right amount of delicate makeup, which was dignified but not too gaudy.

In the private room of the restaurant, from the people who participated in the meeting to the attendants who followed them, they were all men. Suddenly, such a woman appeared, and she was a very beautiful woman. Wang Jianyue and others looked a bit confused. eccentric.

Why did the government find a woman to be a translator?
Not only Wang Jianyue, Shen Baiyi was also very surprised.He had never met Xu Shuhua before, and he didn't know her identity. He just heard from Gu Yunji that he had found a trustworthy translator, but he didn't expect that the other person was a woman.

It seems that she is still a married woman. Who is her husband's family that doesn't mind that his daughter-in-law is exposed in public?

Shen Boyi was confused and wanted to ask Gu Yunji a few words in a low voice, but he saw Su Qi and Mei Feng standing aside without changing their expressions. They seemed not surprised by the translator Gu Yunji had found.Suddenly I felt that I was so rare, so I had to suppress the curiosity in my heart.

Facing all kinds of looking eyes on him, Xu Shuhua looked calm and behaved gracefully. He smiled and saluted Wang Jianyue and others: "I am the daughter of the Xu family in Shaoxing. I have been practicing Chinese writing since I was a child. I understand a little bit of Buddhist language. Thank you. A few adults think highly of me and come here to temporarily serve as a translator."

"It's just that I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I am not good at speaking. I am not as knowledgeable about Western affairs as the two of you. When the adults communicate with Mr. Eberg and Mr. Joseph later, we still have to rely on you two to be attentive."

It turned out to be the daughter of the Xu family in Shaoxing, no wonder.Shen Baiyi understood clearly after hearing this.

There are many scholarly families in Jiangnan, and the upbringing of their daughters is eclectic. From time to time, the reputation of a talented girl is spread.If the woman in front of her comes from the Xu family in Shaoxing, it makes sense why she can cultivate a scholarly aroma and study Western languages.

The Xu family has many talented women, and the parents are also open-minded. Gu Yunji must have asked his wife to find a sister from her mother's family to come over. With such an in-law relationship, it is no wonder that the other party agreed.

The more Shen Boyi thought about it, the smoother he became. He was very satisfied with the logic he had figured out and subconsciously believed that this was the truth.

The Xu family still has a great influence in the local area. When he learned that Xu Shuhua was from the Xu family in Shaoxing, Wang Jianyue's expression changed and he did not dare to be contemptuous anymore. He politely said a few words to the two Buddhist monks and said Xu Shuhua's words. The robot translated, and then both parties took their seats.

As soon as the two parties sat down, Wang Jianyue smiled all over his face and asked with some enthusiasm: "I heard from Yu Jingming that several adults in Zhejiang are interested in the Western firearms of my caravan and want to discuss business?"

Su Qi looked nonchalant: "I'm quite interested, but before we talk about the firearms business, we want to talk about another thing first."

As he said that, he turned to the two Folangji people opposite him and said with a faint smile: "I would like to ask the two ministers of the Folangji royal family whether you have just arrived in China and don't know much about our laws in Daxia. Otherwise, why would you collude with the rebels and go against my court?"

Wang Jianyue's face stiffened when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Did Duke Dingguo misunderstand something? Our caravan..." "I'm talking to Aiberg and Joseph, do you have the right to interrupt?" Su Qi smiled. He stopped and his eyes became cold, "Wang Jianyue, you should recognize your identity. You are just an interpreter. Except for conveying the truth truthfully, you are not required to speak at other times."

Wang Jianyue choked for a moment, and could hardly keep his face. He said bravely: "Dong Guo doesn't know anything. I have been doing business with the Fo Langji people for many years. I know the internal affairs of the caravan well and am deeply trusted by Aiberg and Joseph. "

"Although I am the translator today, I am not just a translator. I am qualified to talk to several adults on behalf of the caravan."

Su Qi sneered: "So what? Can you represent the Fo Langji caravan and the Fo Langji royal family? Wang Jianyue, don't forget that you are my subject of Daxia. Logically speaking, you have no fame or honor." When you see us, you have to kneel down and salute."

"Today, in order to show our respect for the royal family of Folangji, we have made an exception and allowed you to come to the table. You just need to be your translator. If you dare to talk more, the officials will kick you out immediately, and your master Folangji will not be able to protect you. you."

After being treated like dogs by Westerners for a long time, they have forgotten who their ancestors are. If they were ordinary people and met high-ranking officials like Duke Ding and the Governor, they would be so frightened that they would not be able to say a word. How dare they He is as unbridled as Wang Jianyue.

At this time, China was at the top of the world in terms of national power, and officials had a deep-rooted belief in the Celestial Empire. In the eyes of Su Qi and others, if this Folangji caravan was not affiliated with the royal family, it would not be worthy of their attention at all.

Attending the meeting this time were Mei Feng, Gu Yunji, Su Qi and Shen Boyi, all of whom are important figures in Zhejiang. Such a configuration is enough to reflect the courteous treatment of Fo Langji by the government. If Wang Jianyue is allowed to have another fake foreign devil slap his nose on his face, , it seems cowardly.

Su Qi's words were merciless. Wang Jianyue's face turned ugly for a moment, and his expression changed several times. In the end, he still did not dare to refute him. After a few words of apology in a low voice, he had no choice but to translate his words to the two Fo Langjis. people.

Both Aiberg and Joseph had big beards, covering almost half of their faces. Su Qi couldn't see their expressions clearly. He could only see them mumbling something, and then motioned to the interpreter to convey it.

There is an example of Wang Jianyue being reprimanded. Cao Xiong, another translator brought by the other party, was very respectful: "Mr. Aiberg and Mr. Joseph said that they had indeed just arrived in China not long ago and did not know much about some government laws. It’s clear, but they definitely come with a friendly attitude and will not be enemies of the Daxia court.”

"As for what Duke Dingguo said about colluding with rebels, they don't know, and they don't know what you are talking about. Maybe there is a misunderstanding."

Su Qi sneered: "Misunderstanding? It seems that we have wronged you for selling firearms to Gao Shishu? Who among the coastal people doesn't know that Gao Shishu is a notorious Japanese pirate who has been fighting against the government for many years and is about to be killed in recent days? They are annihilated, but you provide them with firearms to fight, and how dare you say you are not going against the imperial court?"

After Wang Jianyue translated it, this time even Aiberg and Joseph had beards covering their faces, and Su Qi also saw that their faces looked a little unnatural.Aiberg turned sideways and said something to Cao Xiong, and then saw him with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Aiberg said that there are many members in the caravan, each with different division of labor, and he is not sure about the specific content of others' responsibilities. Sir, please rest assured that when they go back to ask, they will definitely give you an answer. "
