Besides, Lu Shoushan took Shen Jingdan and his daughter into the stairway of the ship. After passing through a door, what the Shen family's father and daughter could see was a narrow passage that could only allow them to pass each other.
The walls above the head and on both sides are milky white, but the floor under the feet is green. There is a row of white handrails on the left wall, and there is a cover emitting white light every few steps on the roof, making the entire passage very bright. bright.
Lu Shoushan didn't say anything, walked a few steps and opened a door on the right. After the Shen family followed them in carefully, there was another staircase with iron railings on the right; after going up, they turned left and passed a At the corner, there is another closed door. There is a piece of white paper taped to this door, with some black lines and arrows drawn on it.
Before the father and daughter could clearly read the words on the white paper, Lu Shoushan opened the door and walked in.
A smell of rice porridge and steamed buns hit their faces. This is the kitchen and canteen on the Thor. The two followed Lu Shoushan closely. After entering the door, they turned left and walked to the end. When they saw him, they pushed to the right again. He opened a door and said to the two of them: "We're here, please come in."
Shen Jingdan and Shen Xuan were confused by the winding passages and several hatches along the way, so they held on to the railings on the wall and followed them in. When they looked up, they were startled. , I was stunned by the luxury inside the house!
On the milky white wall, four large windows are arranged in sequence from left to right, and there is another one facing them; each window is inlaid with a large piece of transparent glass three feet square.
Shen Jingdan had never seen glass windows before, but he had never seen such a large piece of transparent glass. At this time, the sun shone through the window into the house, and he noticed that not even a bubble could be seen on the glass.
During the Qianlong period, domestic glass products mainly came from three places, Boshan, Shandong, Guangzhou and the Yangxin Palace Manufacturing Office of the Qing Dynasty. The glass in Boshan, Shandong came from Yanshen Town, with a huge output, mainly producing some screens. pieces and various small jewelry utensils; the glass produced locally in Guangzhou is also called "earth glass" because of its poor quality and the finished product is thin and brittle; as for the glass produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is mostly used for Various glassware and small pieces of plate glass from the interior of the palace and as gifts to ministers.
Others include the utensil workshops in Beijing and the "Su Zhu" glass lamps produced in Suzhou. The most famous among them are the various glass snuff bottles produced in Beijing.
Large pieces of flat glass can only be imported from No. 13 Banks in Guangdong. They are expensive and difficult to transport. Only princes and wealthy families can afford them. At this time, a piece of imported flat glass less than two square feet costs three yuan. One hundred taels of silver is equivalent to the price of an ordinary house with three entrances in Suzhou or Beijing. This shows how expensive imported glass is.
Shen Jingdan looked away from the glass and saw a large solid wood oval table and a few blue cloth-covered chairs in the middle of the room. This was very ordinary.
Shen Xuan looked up at the small white glass covers on the roof and asked Lu Shoushan very curiously: "Excuse me, what are these?"
Lu Shoushan was stunned. Why did the person in front of him speak with the same accent as a woman? He replied: "This is a lamp."
"Lamp?" The Shen family father and daughter were stunned for a moment.
"Where did this start the fire?"
"Oh, this doesn't need to be ignited. There is a switch here." Lu Shoushan said and pressed a white button on the wall.
The father and daughter saw the white lampshades all light up with a "swish" and then go out again.
"Excuse me, what does this mean?" Shen Xuan continued to ask.
"Uh... I don't understand this either. The master once told me that there is electricity inside, but it won't hurt anyone."
Lu Shoushan didn't care whether they understood or not, he immediately bowed to them and clasped his fists and asked: "Excuse me, two bosses, what exactly do you want to ask me?"
Shen Jingdan glanced at his daughter, clasped his hands and asked, "May I ask your name?"
"Lu Shoushan."
"I heard your accent just now. May I ask if you are from Dongtai?"
"Exactly. But I have been away from home for many years."
"Did you work as a maid in the Xu family's house in Dongtai?" Shen Xuan suddenly asked urgently in Dongtai dialect. At this time, her tone had changed back to her native voice, and her words were pronounced clearly, like a silver bell.
Lu Shoushan was startled and stared at the "Boss Cheng" in front of him with wide eyes. "Who are you?"
"Brother Lu, is there a place to wash here?" Shen Jingdan asked.
"Oh, it's right here. Just open the door and go in." Lu Shoushan walked to a small door in the house, turned on the light and showed them how to use hot and cold water. The "Boss Cheng" showed him After thanking him, he went in and closed the door.
"Boss Shen, what is going on with you? This Boss Cheng..." Lu Shoushan asked with confusion.
"Brother Lu, please wait a moment and you will understand."
At this time, there were several knocks on the door, the door of the conference room was opened, and Zhao Xin walked in alone.
"Boss Shen, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Please sit down."
Zhao Xin originally wanted to drag Liu Sheng over, but Liu Sheng had to go to the bridge to change shifts with Deng Fei, so Zhao Xin let him go.
"Where's that Boss Cheng?" Zhao Xin looked around and asked curiously.
Shen Jingdan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Lu Shoushan indicated the location of the bathroom with his eyes.
"Shoushan, quickly make tea for Boss Shen and the others and bring some fruits."
After saying that, Zhao Xin smiled and explained to Shen Jingdan: "I don't have any servants here. Although Shoushan calls me master, in fact I regard him as a brother. If you don't greet me well, please don't mind, Boss Shen."
"How dare you? How dare you."
The two chatted politely for a few words, and Shen Jingdan expressed his admiration for the luxurious decoration in the cabin.
In fact, this so-called conference room was originally the lounge and restaurant for senior crew members on the ship. When Deng Fei was responsible for the renovation, he changed it into a conference room according to Zhao Xin's request. After removing the partition in the middle, the area suddenly became larger. It is much larger and looks very spacious and bright.
While the two were talking, Lu Shoushan came in carrying a tray with a teapot and teacups. At this time, the door of the bathroom in the conference room was slowly pushed open, and he saw "Boss Cheng" walking out of it. Zhao Xin and Lu Shoushan were stunned immediately!
I saw that "Boss Cheng" was still wearing the same clothes, but his face had completely changed. His originally dark-skinned face was fair and lovely, with clear pupils and picturesque eyebrows. His unmasked nose looked like Qiong Yao jade, and his red lips were bright. Teeth, beautiful and moving.
Zhao Xin opened his mouth and stared blankly at the characters in front of him, as if they were walking out of a painting. His heartbeat suddenly surged and his ears buzzed. He had seen a lot of beauties with plastic surgery and beautification, but the ones that were purely natural and unadorned were still... I've never seen many of them. This little girl doesn't look that big, but she has such an appearance that will bring disaster to the country and the people. If she waits until she grows up, she will blind many people!
"Wow!" The tray in Lu Shoushan's hand fell to the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes. "You are? Are you a young lady from the Shen family?!"
"Uncle Lu, do you remember Ah Quan?" Shen Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she burst into tears.
"Miss Ah Quan!" Lu Shoushan ignored the teapot and teacups that fell on the floor, took two steps forward in a hurry, knelt down in front of Shen Xuan, and cried loudly on the ground.
Six years! Six years have passed since Shen Xuan was taken to Shen Jingdan's house for foster care by her father on New Year's Eve of that year. In the past few years, she had lived in seclusion, hiding in Tibet, and was always on tenterhooks; for fear of being discovered that she was a member of the imperial court The descendant of the traitorous emperor. Now that he finally saw his familiar old friend, he suddenly remembered that he was separated from his biological parents forever, and that he was the only one left in the family. All the sorrow that had been suppressed for many years surged up in his heart.
Zhao Xin came back to his senses at this moment. Seeing the little beauty crying miserably in front of him, he couldn't bear it. He turned to Shen Jingdan who was wiping his tears and asked: "Boss Shen, what's going on? What’s going on?”
Shen Jingdan sighed, thinking that this leader Zhao was the master of Lu Shoushan, and then picked up what he could tell and told the old story from beginning to end.
"She is the granddaughter of Shen Chengzhuo (zhuo pronounced in the same voice)!"
It's Dongtai Yizhu Tower again! After hearing this, Zhao Xin felt that he was constantly entangled with this matter. First he accidentally found the Xu brothers, Lu Shoushan and Pan Xiucheng on Bear Island. Now he is on You can meet Xu Shukui's students and descendants in Nagasaki.
He thought that his ancestral home, Yancheng, was just north of Dongtai, and he began to have random thoughts in his mind. Maybe his ancestors had something to do with this matter. Did God let him come to the 18th century through the jade pendant just to avenge these people? of?
Jade pendant! Thinking of this, Zhao Xin suddenly felt excited.
Just as he was hesitating whether to take out the jade pendant, he heard Lu Shoushan say to the Shen family and his daughter in a hoarse voice: "If it weren't for Mr. Zhao, I, the two young masters and Brother Xiucheng would have become withered bones on the desert island. In order to treat the eldest young master, Mr. Zhao took care of him naked for several days; later he even accepted the two young masters as his students, and asked Brother Xiucheng and me to work with him."
Hearing Lu Shoushan praise himself, Zhao Xin felt very embarrassed. He looked at Lu Shoushan and Shen Xuan who were crying with tears and runny noses, and said: "Don't be sad. It has been so many years. How can you live well?" Coming down is better than anything else. Shoushan, go wash your face and tidy up first."
After hearing these words, Shen Xuan's face suddenly turned red. She knew that she must look ugly now. This was an opportunity to remind herself to freshen up. So she turned around and went into the bathroom again, closing the door.
Lu Shoushan staggered up and was about to clean up the things on the floor. Zhao Xin asked him to wash his face first.
Taking advantage of this moment, he smiled at Shen Jingdan and said, "Boss Shen, I admire you very much as a person. The ancients said, 'Gold and jade are not valuable, but loyalty is treasured', and they were talking about people like you."
Shen Jingdan said slowly: "Being entrusted by others and loyal to others, this is how it should be." Then he changed the subject, looked at Zhao Xin and asked: "Chief Zhao, I used clairvoyance to see before, and I thought you were all You are from Nanyang. But today I heard that you all speak fluent Beijing Mandarin. Could you please tell me where you are from?"
"Beihai. I told you before."
"But where is this North Sea?"
Zhao Xin thought for a while before saying: "Well, let's put it this way, our place is still thousands of miles away from Ninggu Pagoda, on the seaside."
"Then what are you..." Shen Jingdan is a southern businessman and has no idea about the Far North.
Zhao Xin was already talking so dry that he raised his hand to look at his watch and saw that it was already past noon. He stopped talking and said to Shen Jingdan: "Boss Shen, it's already noon, you guys have a light meal first. Come on. I'll go out and have someone bring it here. If you want anything, let's talk after dinner."
"Ah? That boat! I still have to go back to the shore." Shen Jingdan said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, even though the big ship has left, the Japanese have sent a small boat waiting below. If I don't let it go, they won't dare to leave."
