Chapter 981: pattern

Europe is not like China. In China, no matter in the past, now or in the future, most of the upper class of the aristocracy only marry the natives of the right household, while in Europe, countries intermarry each other, because in their opinion, they are from the same lineage, a little bit. Like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the phenomenon of intermarriage between various vassal states.

Therefore, although most of those who came to Daqi to do business were businessmen from Portugal and Spain, they brought their female relatives from various countries, including their own countries, France, Italy and Naples.

Mu Yangling looked at Mrs. Anna with a smile, Anna raised her head proudly, "My homeland is England."

Mu Yangling roughly calculated the AD, but because history has changed, anyway, the history of China has changed into a mess, so she is not sure how much has changed in Europe, at least as far as she knows, in the past life, England went to India to do business It was the end of the 17th century, and the colonial tendency began at the beginning of the 18th century, but according to the Chinese chronology, this time should be the middle of the 14th century in the previous life, around 1345 AD, even if there is a discrepancy, it will not be more than a difference. Fifty years, because the history before Dazhou remains unchanged, it has gone through five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the history of Dazhou includes the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The difference is not big. That is to say, Daqi is now equivalent to the Ming Dynasty in the previous life. Before the founding of the state.

According to the European timeline of the previous life, England and Scotland were at war at this time, and their relationship with France was not very good. In terms of maritime trade and hegemony, Spain was still the best, followed by Portugal and Italy, but the country was the strongest. To calculate, it should be the most powerful in England and Austria.

Mu Yangling wanted to secretly inquire about the situation in Europe, but when she saw Anna proudly raising her head, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Anyway, everyone knew that Daqi didn't know much about foreigners and their countries, so what if they were wrong? ?

At that time, a hearsay will be mixed up.

Why do they know everything about Daqi, but they don't even know the emperor of the other country and the situation of the country?

Mu Yangling thought about it, and asked with a smile: "Is the current emperor of your England named Edward III?"

"Yes," Anna didn't think that Mu Yangling knew what was wrong with the king of her motherland. Edward III was wise and talented, and everyone knew that he was a matter of course. She smiled politely: "My king greets the emperor of your country."

The lady from France sneered, "A brutal warmonger."

"Oh, better than a coward who can only run away, my wise and martial king is protecting his subjects..."

The two sides were fighting against each other, and Mrs. Zhizhou was about to persuade her to make peace when she saw the princess looking at her. She hurriedly sat down with her head down, but her ears were pricked up. They found that the names of some countries and kings kept popping out of their mouths. , She felt a headache. Not only did she not understand a sentence, she didn't remember it. She looked up a little, and when the princess listened seriously, she understood that she wanted to inquire about the situation of the foreigner's country.

Mrs. Zhizhou rolled her eyes and gave everyone a wink. When she saw that she was almost there, she stepped forward to persuade him to make peace, pulling one aside and separating the two.

Mrs. Zhizhou smiled and changed the subject. She asked about the situation in their country and the places she had been to. She kept her eyes on Mu Yangling secretly, and when she saw that she sat up slightly with interest, she knew that she was shooting a pair of horses. Shit, I can't help but feel a little complacent in the blink of an eye.

When the other ladies saw this, they naturally knew how to guide the topic next.

Mu Yangling has been in Guangzhou City for more than a year, but he rarely goes out to entertain or entertain guests. Even if they want to flatter, they have nowhere to do anything. This time, it is easy to see the princess, and the princess is interested in Western affairs again. , they naturally have to pave the way for her.

In terms of outside knowledge, these officials and businessmen’s wives in Guangzhou may not be able to match these foreign wives who have traveled south and north, but when it comes to inquiring about news and leading topics, these foreign wives may not be able to match Daqi’s wives.

In addition, they had an advantage in numbers. After a long time, Mu Yangling knew what she wanted to know and what she didn't want to know. As soon as she looked up, she saw a few children sneaking in at some point, sitting with her chin on her side with bright eyes. looking at Mrs. Anna and a few others.

Mu Yangling twitched the corners of his mouth and was about to kick out the children when he heard the little bear ask Madame Anna, "The emperor of France died in your England, didn't France seek revenge from your country?"

Mrs. Anna wondered: "John II died of illness, and it has nothing to do with our country. Why did France seek revenge on us?"

The little bear pouted, the king of a country ran to be a proton and died in the enemy country, even if it doesn't matter, it will still matter, okay?

And France is too weak, not only the crown prince and the prince fled, but all the sons who were sent to be protons fled back. The emperor did not burn firecrackers to celebrate and even took the initiative to fulfill the promise and use himself as a proton.

Obviously the other children thought the same way, and they looked strange when they looked at Madame Marie from France.

Mu Yangling was afraid of their shocking words, so he hurriedly kicked them out, saying, "These are all female relatives. What are you guys doing here? Go out and play with your friends."

Xiao Xiong remembered their business here and shouted: "Mother, the king said he was going home, let us come in to pick you up."

In such public occasions, the three little bears were always called by their father and mother, and Mu Yangling would also pay attention to calling them by their big names instead of their nicknames.

"It's so early to go back?" Mu Yangling turned to look at the wall clock hanging on the wall, only to realize that it was getting late, and quickly got up, "I didn't expect the time to pass so quickly when I said this, it's already half an afternoon in the blink of an eye. "

Mrs. Zhizhou hurriedly laughed, "I'm afraid that the mother-in-law thinks we are noisy,"

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "How come, everything you guys said is very interesting, I like listening to it very much.

Mrs. Zhizhou smiled and suggested: "If the princess likes it, I will ask you to post next time. You must come to join us, and we will talk more carefully at that time."

Mu Yangling really wanted to know more, smiled and nodded.

The group was busy sending Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia out, the two said goodbye to the foreign ladies, and took a few children to find Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin.

Qi Haoran got impatient, and when he saw them coming out, he glared at a few stinky boys and said, "What are you all doing? It takes half an hour to call someone."

Several children excitedly said to him, "Fourth Uncle, let's go to listen to the history of the foreign ladies." This is Xiaobao.

"Dad, you don't know that there is a very strange emperor in France. He went to England to be a proton himself, but he died of illness." This is the little bear.

"He had three sons, one was very daring and became a prisoner, and two escaped, and one of them was a prince." This is the little lion.

"I don't like France, they are so cowardly, Xiao An, we will do business with people in France in the future. If they don't obey, I will beat them for you." This is a tiger's head.

Xiao An actually nodded seriously and said, "Pinch the persimmons softly, that Mrs. Anna's head is raised so high, people in England are not easy to get along with, we can open the gap from France first."
