Chapter 1194 Mother and Daughter Meeting
"Your Majesty George Digby, the Earl of Bristol, the great ruler of the East, our Majesty the King sent us to your country to establish an embassy, ​​so as to humbly learn from your country's culture and technology." A young blond man said to Chu Yun performed the knight salute.

Behind him, a group of members of the British envoy bowed slightly. After they came to the east, they found that there was not only a splendid civilization, but also various things that they had never seen before. Chu Yun was full of admiration.

In the era of the jungle, only the strong can make people submit.

"You have come from afar, and there will be officials to take care of you." Chu Yun said.

"Thank you." The blond man led the envoys to thank Chu Yun respectfully.

"your Highness!"

The members of the mission found Princess Sophia standing next to Chu Yun, and it took a while to recognize Her Royal Highness in Hanfu.

"Don't be too polite, did you bring any letters?" Princess Sophia asked calmly, she still had the demeanor of a princess in front of the British envoys.

"Here is the family letter from His Majesty the King and others to the princess. His Majesty the King entrusted the message to Her Majesty the Princess. If Her Majesty the Princess is tired of playing and wants to return to London, you can take the fleet of Mr. Li Jinde's company. Their sailors have mastered The sea route between east and west." Digby handed over Charles I's family letter to Princess Sophia.

Princess Sophia took Charles I's family letter and opened it face to face.

Chu Yun was not surprised by their behavior.

"Mother, why are you here?!" Selina found Mrs. Grace alone.

Mrs. Grace hesitated before recognizing that it was her daughter.

At this time, Selina was wearing a Hanfu, hugging a girl with brown hair, which made Mrs. Grace stunned for a while.

"You are... Selina!" Mrs. Grace held a woolen fan in her hand, blocking her exclamation.

Selina couldn't laugh or cry, could it be that even her mother couldn't recognize her because she was separated for so long?
"Mom, why did you come here from Devonshire? Sailing on the sea is really dangerous..." Selina hugged Yinger, and when she saw her mother, she was first surprised, and then worried for her. Worrying about crossing the ocean.

"The food on the ship is really terrible, worse than black bread, and the fresh water is easy to spoil. Dozens of people died on the way, and their souls returned to the sea. Anyway, I survived safely... Is this my granddaughter? She really is a lovely child." Mrs. Grace noticed the girl in Selina's arms.

"Her name is Li Yinger." Selina said.

"Li, Ying, Er." Mrs. Grace struggled to learn the pronunciation of Chinese.

"Mother, have you met Li Jinde? I wonder if you are satisfied with him, mother?" Selina asked cautiously.

"That person is able to match up with our family, but your father and I have a large area of ​​land in the southwest, and your father has a lot of influence in the military. He works for His Majesty the King. Even if you find a poor and down-to-earth young man It can make you have no worries about food and clothing for several lifetimes. It’s just that you are in the east, but he is in the west, separated by thousands of miles, I’m afraid Yinger won’t know him if he comes back.” Mrs. Grace’s comment on Li Jinde’s departure from his wife and daughter Quite brooding.

"He also has his own pursuits. Besides, Yinger still doesn't remember anyone. He will come back after two or three years." Selina defended Li Jinde.

"He is just like your father. When you were young, your father also left me to fight against the Spaniards, and joined the mercenary army to go to the Netherlands. He narrowly escaped death. I see that there are not many wars in the East. If he Wouldn't it be great to stay in the East with you? The combined wealth of our two families is enough for you to have enough food and clothing." Mrs. Grace sighed.

"Men always like to go to adventure and have more power and wealth, don't they?" Selina smiled slightly.

"What you said is not bad... Do you have the habit of living here? How about the food? What time do you usually do?" Mrs. Grace asked a series of questions.

"I am currently studying astronomy at the highest institution in the East. Although it is not a particularly practical knowledge, I have a deeper understanding of astronomy here. They have also established the Beijing Observatory and are planning to build a large telescope to observe the sky." Selina replied .

Mrs. Grace didn't feel much about Selina's choice. Astronomy is a very old subject, and for nobles like them, even studying astronomy doesn't seem to bring much benefit to the individual. disciplines, and it will not have much impact on their lives.They have some enough land income to be able to feed them.

"Princess Sophia is staying in the east with you. You should have a closer relationship with her, right?" Mrs. Grace noticed that Princess Sophia was looking towards them intentionally or unconsciously.

"Well, I often stay with Princess Sophia and a few women from the East. They are all learned people and their future prospects are limitless." Selina said.

"It seems that your life here is good, but it made me worry in vain. I have been in a cold war with your father for a year. Let me hug my granddaughter." Mrs. Grace handed the woolen fan to the servant who brought her , and hugged Ying Er, "This little guy has black eyeballs. If it weren't for the slightly brown hair and the slightly high nose tip, it would be really hard to tell if he looks like someone from our side."

"Mother, are you a member of the mission?" Selina asked.

"It's enough for your father to serve His Majesty the King. I'm not a member of the envoys. I just heard Li Jinde talk about the prosperity of the East and saw your photo. That's why I came with the envoys." Mrs. Grace Said.

"Is my husband okay?" Selina asked again.

"He hangs out with your father in the aristocratic group all day long, and he often smells of alcohol, these two people." Mrs. Grace said.

"Let's not talk about them... Since you are not a member of the embassy, ​​mother, you might as well move to our house. I think my mother-in-law will be very happy to see you. She also said when she can invite you and father to the capital, otherwise we The family is too cold, and now there are only three of us in the huge courtyard." Selina said.

"This is Selina, your mother?"

Aila, Da Yuer, Liu Rushi, Xiao Xiuer and other women who are usually friends with Selina came over and asked.

"I'm Grace from Devon, Britain. Thank you for taking care of my daughter." Mrs. Grace expressed her gratitude to them when she heard that this person was the first person her daughter met in the East.
