Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 149 Crowned Viscount, Jiang Meiying wants to go abroad

As far as Elizabeth could see, Philip was hiding hastily, without even looking at Elizabeth.

Li Xiuzhu didn't pay attention here, frowning and looking at the shooting direction.

The killer was probably less than two hundred meters away, but there were already guards to arrest him without him having to go.

At this moment, a muffled sound of "bang" sounded.

Li Xiuzhu hugged Elizabeth and started moving. This time he took the bullet and placed it directly on the wall. He did not dare to put it on his armor. He was really afraid that the armor could not bear the bullet.

"There are snipers, but luckily they are far away. We can't stand in the same place for too long."

It's very strange that Elizabeth's coronation was also broadcast live in her previous life, and there was no record of any attack.

Is it the butterfly effect brought about by myself?

Thinking about it, it should be the problem. The problem should lie with the assassin arranged by Elizabeth.

Defensive loopholes give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.

Elizabeth was not afraid. She had participated in the Boy Scouts and had experienced war.

But her eyes were looking at Li Xiuzhu, full of admiration.

I haven't seen such a brave man in a long time.

Well...in every way.

At this time, the Royal Guards also reacted, holding small shields in front of them and moving quickly to surround them.

I guess I am ready to dedicate myself to my country.

But obviously they were lucky, the sniper rifle only rang once and then disappeared.

It seems that the other party gave up on the assassination.

Not long after, a guard came to report.

"Queen, the assassin has been killed and the ceremony can continue."

The bishop who rushed over said: "You can go back by carriage for the rest of the journey."

The carriages are all specially made and are safe in terms of safety. They are bulletproof in a short period of time, which is enough to ensure safety.

Elizabeth nodded when she heard this, looked at Li Xiuzhu and said to the bishop: "This is the guard I specially hired from Hong Kong Island."

"He saved my life and should be duly rewarded."

"These dozen bullet marks on the armor should all be his glorious achievements."

Upon hearing this, the bishop glanced at the bullet marks on Li Xiuzhu's body and nodded.

It's impossible to show off with just this dent. Such a guard should be rewarded, not to mention someone who is favored by the Queen.

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Li Xiuzhu escorted Elizabeth to the carriage. When she returned to Buckingham, she was pulled by the bishop for questioning.

After all, it was a knighthood, and one had to inquire about its origins. Elizabeth had already arranged this, and Li Xiuzhu knew it all by heart.

He even now has a villa on Hong Kong Island, which was given to him by Elizabeth.

And Margaret was also called away by Elizabeth. She knew very well how out of control it would be if Margaret were present at the scene.

At the scene just now, if Margaret hadn't been stopped by the Royal Guards, she would have rushed over.

The attack was different from the original plan, which made Margaret react and not worry about her sister and the man.

That is to say, she calmly returned to Buckingham after seeing that Li Xiuzhu and her sister were fine.

The two didn't meet again until night.

After meeting, Margaret immediately threw herself into Li Xiuzhu's arms.

While kissing Li Xiuzhu's cheek, he said eagerly: "My dear, I'm so worried about you. Are you okay?"

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he said amusedly: "Do you think I'm in trouble?"

"By the way, this time I helped Sister You avoid an assassination and actually withstood bullets. What kind of title can I get?"

"baron?"

Baron is a lifelong noble title, which means it is gone when a person dies and cannot be inherited.

Other titles can be inherited.

There are also baronet and knight, but these two are not considered nobles, they are just rewards for common people, and there is almost no possibility of promotion.

Margaret heard this and said, "My sister will talk to the bishop about this this afternoon."

"According to the original plan, we originally planned to give you a baron."

"But in this incident, you saved my sister in front of the whole country, so my sister plans to make you an honorary viscount."

"The church has also agreed, so your position as Viscount is basically secure."

"It's just that the Viscount's words were a bit off. My sister said that she plans to take you with her when she ascends the throne and tours the countries."

"I'll give you some resume, which will help you rise to the rank of Marquis faster."

"When you arrive at the Marquis, my sister will announce our marriage and arrange the wedding for us."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this, and did not expect that a viscount could marry a princess.

"Cruising is okay, but I have to go back to China often."

"I will go back when the reward is over."

Margaret was a little sad to hear this, but she also knew that this was something that couldn't be changed.

"Okay, I will ask my sister to arrange the reward in three days. You can go back after the coronation. Go early and come back early."

"Also, my sister will go on a cruise to France at the end of next month."

As Margaret spoke, she suddenly asked: "Hepburn's new play is about to be finished. Do you want to take her back?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled. He didn't expect that Hepburn's new drama was about to be completed.

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, you can stay with me for about a month if you are traveling or on a business trip."

"We will come back together then, and I will accompany your sister to France."

There's nothing we can do about it.

In order to be promoted to Marquis, he may have to follow Elizabeth to visit 27 countries in Europe in the past two years.

After completing this resume, the Marquis will basically be a sure shot.

On the third day, Li Xiuzhu was crowned Viscount in the presence of the bishop and a group of nobles.

He was just a little Viscount, so no one paid much attention to him, mainly because he was trying to get close to Elizabeth.

But when Elizabeth announced that Li Xiuzhu would accompany him on a tour of Europe as the chief of the guard and be responsible for the security of Europe, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Li Xiuzhu.

During the banquet, each noble took the initiative to come forward and start a conversation.

During the first dance of the ball, Margaret wanted to step forward, but Elizabeth took the lead.

Seeing that this guard could dance the first dance with Elizabeth, everyone knew that Li Xiuzhu would become a new star in the circle.

Marquis may not be the end, maybe a duke, or... a prince.

Everyone knows about Phillips, so it is not impossible for the Queen to change to a man.

The afternoon after Li Xiuzhu's coronation, he got on the plane back to China, taking Hepburn with him.

The accumulation of the two dramas and the contact with Margaret and Elizabeth gave Hepburn a full princess aura.

Regardless of her behavior or temperament, just looking at her nobility, those who didn't know better would have thought she was a real princess.

Hepburn was already very famous at this time, and London Holiday made many people realize that she was a fake princess.

In addition, Elizabeth was crowned a few days ago, so many people asked Hepburn for her autograph.

"Xiuzhu, do you want to take a nap?"

"No need. If you're sleepy, just take a nap first. I'll sue you when the time comes."

Hepburn nodded when he heard this, and fell asleep on Li Xiuzhu's shoulder a little tiredly.

The plane was flying, and the night gradually became quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but Hepburn woke up.

Glancing at the quiet surroundings and Li Xiuzhu, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, Hepburn rolled his eyes slightly and suddenly kissed Li Xiuzhu on the face.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu open his eyes, Hepburn had a smile in his eyes. He also came close to Li Xiuzhu's ear and whispered: "Want to go to the bathroom with this princess?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Hepburn to be so bold.

But just thinking about the achievements of a thousand miles in a day made him unable to hold back.

This achievement is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

By the time I came back from the bathroom, it was already two hours later.

As soon as he sat down, Hepburn fell asleep again from exhaustion.

Fortunately, no one went to the bathroom during this time, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing.

It was already afternoon when they arrived in the capital.

I called my family at the airport, and their car arrived soon after.

But what surprised Li Xiuzhu was that the driver was not Qin Zhaodi, but Jiang Meiying.

Jiang Meiying was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Xiuzhu bringing a foreigner back.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Meiying driving. After getting in the car, he asked, "Why did you come out today? Did you miss me?"

Jiang Meiying, who was wearing a veil, nodded without denying the words and said, "It's one thing to miss you, but my family is quite busy today."

"No one who could drive was at home, so I came out."

"Don't worry, I'm wearing a gauze and I didn't get out of the car. It's okay."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this.

Jiang Meiying faced Hepburn and asked in English: "Are you Hepburn?"

Hepburn was startled, then nodded and said, "Your English is so good. How did you recognize me?"

Jiang Meiying heard this and said: "Xiuzhu said that there are two women abroad, one is you and the other is Margaret."  "Margaret is a princess. If she comes, the battle will be huge, so I just guessed you were Hepburn."

"Welcome to Xia Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Hepburn stretched out her hand to shake Jiang Meiying's hand and said, "Thank you, nice to meet you."

"What's your name?"

Jiang Meiying heard this and said: "My name is Jiang Meiying. According to your country's name, it is Meiying Jiang."

Hepburn nodded slightly and asked: "Mei Ying, why are you wearing a veil?"

Jiang Meiying smiled when she heard this and said, "Because some bad things happened before, I always wear a veil when I go out."

"I'll take it off when I get home."

Hepburn thought it was Jiang Meiying's face that was injured, so she felt sympathy, but didn't know what to say.

On the way back, Jiang Meiying asked in English: "How long will you stay here this time? Or should you wait until next quarter to go back?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "Stay for a month and leave at the end of next month. I promise to go to the parade there."

Jiang Meiying frowned slightly when she heard that Li Xiuzhu said he would leave next month.

Li Xiuzhu continued: "This matter is good for the family."

"This time I went out and got a British Hong Kong citizen and the title of Viscount."

"When you level up again, you can marry Margaret."

"Whereas Hong Kong citizens do not restrict the freedom of marriage, you can marry as many as you want."

"The most important thing is that the British can have dual citizenship. I plan to get a Cameronian citizenship."

"In this case, from now on, my marriage and concubinage will be normal and can be made public."

Jiang Meiying nodded when she heard this and said softly: "Business matters."

"It's settled."

Li Xiuzhu asked, "Did anything happen at home while I was gone?"

Jiang Meiying nodded and said: "Huairu is pregnant, and the public manager of the public-private partnership is also here."

"Xueru occasionally takes Huairu to a meeting, but usually nothing happens."

"Xueru took Huairu to a meeting today, so Zhaodi didn't come."

"The other one is Xu Huizhen from the tavern, asking Xueru to say thank you to you."

"Xue Ru said that if you like Xu Hui, you can accept her."

"Xueru said that she understands that Huizhen has a crush on you. If you are willing, this is not difficult."

"And Xueru said that Xu Hui is really not someone who can't accept three wives and four concubines. You misunderstood."

"So Xu Huizhen... what do you think?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head after hearing this.

"Xu Huizhen and Xueru are the same kind of people, but not exactly."

"Both of them are very strong, but Xu Huizhen is a bit of a good person."

"If they really enter this house, Xu Huizhen and Xueru will definitely have to fight, and our family may suffer a lot of losses."

Jiang Meiying nodded and talked to Li Xiuzhu about the two children.

After Jiang Meiying finished speaking, she also chatted with Hepburn about making movies.

The topic now touches upon Hepburn's territory. Mainly Hepburn spoke, while Li Xiuzhu and Jiang Meiying listened.

Li Xiuzhu knew that Jiang Meiying was talking to each other, so Hepburn didn't feel left out.

Li Xiuzhu very much doubted whether Jiang Meiying had studied psychology again, but that shouldn't be the case. There seemed to be no such theory at present.

After Hepburn finished speaking, Li Xiuzhu asked: "Mei Ying, what books are you reading recently?"

Jiang Meiying was startled when she heard this. She didn't know why, but she still said: "Read some foreign mythology books and ancient Chinese characters."

Speaking of this, Jiang Meiying paused and continued: "I found that there are similar similar things in these mythological books."

"For example, the great floods in foreign myths can be connected with the water in the sky when Dayu controlled the floods."

"There are some places of research value in many myths and stories."

"Xiuzhu, what do you think the end of science will be?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu remembered a sentence inexplicably and said, "Who knows, maybe the end of science is theology."

“Of course, it’s also possible that the end of theology is science.”

"But whatever it is, it's too early to think about it now."

Jiang Meiying nodded when she heard this and said nothing more, but said: "Xiuzhu, can you bring me more books next time you go abroad?"

"Except for philosophy books, I want to read everything else."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "Why don't you come with me this time? It just so happens that I want to tour various countries with Margaret's sister."

"We'll buy whatever books you want to read. We won't be short of money."

Hearing this, Jiang Meiying asked: "Is this appropriate? It won't delay your business."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"Of course it's appropriate, but you may still have to wear a veil when you go out. You're not as free as you are at home."

Jiang Meiying nodded when she heard this.

"Then I will go abroad with you next month."

"it is good!"

Li Xiuzhu returned home, and everyone gathered in Maoer Hutong in the evening.

Although I didn't get the news early, it would be nice to have someone pick it up.

After Hepburn got home, she also saw Jiang Meiying's true face, and she suddenly became numb.

He also said that he wore a veil because his face was injured. It turned out to be so beautiful. This woman made every woman's heart flutter, so it was no wonder she wore a veil.

Hepburn didn't expect that the clown was herself.

And when everyone saw Hepburn, a foreigner with outstanding temperament, everyone was still curious.

Except for Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru and Jiang Meiying, they all looked at Hepburn from time to time.

In addition to Jiang Meiying who can communicate with Hepburn without any barriers, Chen Xueru, Liu He, and Chang Hankun are the only ones in this family who can communicate with Hepburn.

The latter two majored in English, while Chen Xueru studied English with Jiang Meiying for a period of time.

Now that my genes are good, it is not difficult to learn.

Therefore, it is no longer as difficult for Chen Xueru to communicate as when she first saw Hepburn.

In addition, the two of them were familiar with each other, so it was not unfamiliar when they met, and they quickly became harmonious.

Chen Xueru originally wanted to talk to Li Xiuzhu about working in the silk shop, but the man hadn't returned home for a long time, and everyone was eager to see him.

Simply, the chat ended early.

Work hard tonight, man, and let's not talk about career for now.

Li Xiuzhu didn't think it was too hard, but he felt a little short of time.

So I didn’t go back to the courtyard the next day.

But Chen Xueru still chatted with Li Xiuzhu about work the next day.

"Xiuzhu, what should I do if the silk store's public-private partnership pilot project is a little bit losing money?"

"Although this does not account for the majority of our revenue, our silk store will definitely suffer a lot if it is redeemed."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, and he did not expect that the silk shop would suffer losses.

"Loss? How to put it?"

Chen Xueru heard this and said: "First, the public manager does not know how to operate."

"Secondly, Huairu is not here, and we need someone who can speak well. There are fewer regular customers purchasing."

"Three are also limited by the style."

"You also know the situation in the past two years. There are basically employees outside, and they generally wear factory uniforms."

"Factory clothes are stain-resistant and durable, and with little leisure time, ordinary families can't afford two pairs of clothes a year."

"And those flashy clothes are no longer allowed to be sold, only conservative styles. It would be strange if this doesn't go down."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and asked, "Did you meet with the public manager yesterday?"

"Not entirely, there are also people from the street office."

"How to say?"

Chen Xueru said: "What else can I say? I just want us to increase our sales."

"I said I can cooperate with the work, but I can't control the public manager."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and asked, "What do you mean by street?"

Chen Xueru said: "What the street wants is to either change the public manager, or let the public manager listen to me."

"But the public manager is not willing to admit defeat and wants to give it one last try."

"I agreed and let him continue to struggle for a month. I don't want to interfere."

Accustomed to big business, Chen Xueru was not too interested in the small business of the silk shop.

As long as you can make money, just let their managers do whatever they want.

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Anyway, you have nothing to do now that you are idle. I'm afraid this little silk shop will be the only place where you can show off your skills for a long time."

"If you really don't want to take care of it, you can only travel abroad with me, or play mahjong at home."

"By the way, Mei Ying plans to go out and buy some books."
