Chapter 102 Hunting
Over the years, Ning Zheng has been at the center of the political vortex and has no time to care about other things; but in fact, since the [-]th year of the Republic of China, the Great Depression, which originated in the United States and lasted for ten years, has already swept the world and entered the middle stage.

The fundamental reason for the outbreak of the far-reaching Great Depression, in a word, was caused by "the mismatch between overproduction and market demand". Nearly 2000 million people in the United States were unemployed, and countless suicides occurred.

The paradox is that most of the suicides are originally from the middle class: because even if the rich are poor, they can still get by; while the poor are already living a life without a meal on the relief, and they have long been used to it, and their life is not very big. Change; only the backbone of a country's stability—the middle class, who have become "poor" who have everything but money, often cannot tolerate queuing up to receive relief with the abject poor who used to be disdainful, because they cannot overcome the huge psychological gap. commit suicide.

Such news is too numerous to list, and even played a bad role in inspiring others: the pillar of the family who has long been unemployed wakes up early in the morning, dresses up neatly, kisses the family members one by one to say goodbye, and says that he is looking for a job that does not exist, and never returns. , leaving a relatively small amount of insurance money to support grieving relatives.

The nursery rhyme that was popular in New York at the time said this-"Mellon blew the whistle, Hoover rang the bell. Wall Street gave the signal, and the United States rushed to hell." The disastrous consequences for American society after continuing to implement the policy of laissez-faire free market economy.

Of course, blaming individuals for all disasters is a common problem of human beings since ancient times, and it is unfair-after all, the irrational accumulation of long-term economic development can be caused by the wrong policies of a few people.

The Great Depression in the United States gradually spread outward until it swept the whole world, and deeply affected all major capitalist countries at that time. It can be said that the rise and popularity of fascism in Italy, Germany and Japan all benefited from this: the Great Depression accelerated the extreme The proliferation of right-wing thoughts, and finally detonated World War II a few years later.

The Tang family began to transfer part of their family assets to the United States in the early years. It was a common practice for large families to spread risks and avoid continuous civil wars. Unexpectedly, they were out of luck and misjudged—the United States, which has been thriving in national strength since the founding of the country, could actually do so. There is such a big change.

Tang Du once lamented that he was unlucky: "September [-]" had already reduced his wealth in China by more than half. Unexpectedly, what followed was that his most trusted eldest son, Tang Fengxian, who was originally optimistic about him, invested in the United States. Several industries, such as agriculture, real estate, and finance, were devastated without exception.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. Tang Zhikai, the eldest son of Tang Dafeng, the old housekeeper of the Tang family, is by no means an idler. He has been staying in the United States. After carefully studying the current economic situation and the performance of various industries, he found that several industries did not follow the general economic trend. Walking, but upstream, full of vitality.

After ruling out illegal activities such as bootlegging and organizing gangs, he chose the advertising industry after careful consideration: because of the Great Depression, everyone loved and relied more and more on wireless broadcasts that could be broadcast with the warm voice of an announcer as soon as they were turned on. , this new media has been popular since then; and with this shareholder style, the original mode of advertising through traditional methods such as mail delivery and door openings has been broken, and the new media delivery method of broadcasting has gradually become popular.

So he found another way to set up an advertising company, and as expected, the business was booming day by day; after the first hit, he drew inferences from one instance and had a unique insight to invest in "Reader's Digest", a monthly magazine that has just been published and has not yet received a large number of subscriptions.In the same way as radio, because the people are depressed, magazines, which can provide psychological comfort and are cheap, are predictably and more popular; of course, there is also energy. He boldly grabbed a lot of oil shares at the lowest price and A new oil company has been established and is currently operating on the right track.

Tang Du and Tang Fengxian lamented that "the younger generation is awesome", and unanimously decided to promote Tang Zhikai, who has a unique and precise vision, as a partner.

Fortunately, starting this year, Franklin Roosevelt succeeded Hoover and became the new US president. He began to implement the "3R" New Deal, introduced the "Keynesian Doctrine", and strengthened the country's control over capital.The new therapy gradually demonstrated its power and began to slowly treat the ailing economy in the United States. Only then did the Tang family's business in the United States gradually improve.Of course, this is all off topic.

Early this morning, Ning Zheng and Feng Jiu decided to go to the Palace of Westminster to observe the parliamentary meeting. The auditorium is on the second floor.Different from the red color of the House of Lords representing the nobility, the iconic green benches representing the common people in the House of Commons rise in steps on both sides. The ruling party and the opposition MPs sit like two armies facing each other, and the open space in the middle is placed in charge of maintaining Order of the Speaker's Square Table.

The scene is arguing about whether the new year's budget can be passed.The MacDonald cabinet is a weak cabinet: I was expelled from the Labor Party, and it was George V who forced him to form his own cabinet to barely set up a stage to sing; The budget has been questioned; Baldwin, the President of the Privy Council and the Speaker of the House of Commons, wearing a traditional black robe and a white wig, is shouting "Or—der—!" over and over again, trying to maintain a relatively harmonious atmosphere. In vain; Chancellor Chamberlain looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly, this scene opened Ning Zheng's eyes, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

This kind of Western-style democracy is too extravagant, poor China cannot afford it, and China, which has always paid attention to etiquette, cannot accept such a rude scene, let alone the common people.

When Feng Jiu came here, she passed by a bookstore and bought a copy of "My early life". She heard that there was nothing new in the debate—someone started to delay the time to pass this budget by talking about the wheel—turned through a few pages of the book, and closed it again. , raised his eyes and looked around: the auditorium on the second floor of the Palace of Westminster was empty, and there were not many people. Because of this, a man with a wide forehead and a short fat neck was sitting a few seats away from them. A fat old man with an elegant white polka-dot black satin bow tie caught her attention. Fengjiu recalled a little, this is not...

Ning Zheng on the side watched the MPs from the ruling party below take out a copy of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" in order to save time and began to read lines in a rhythmic tone. Jiu tugged at his cuff, pushed his mouth to the right, "Did you see that old gentleman?"

Ning Zheng raised his head according to his words, Feng Jiu approached him, covered his mouth and said softly: "Churchill, the author of this book." Then he waved the book in his hand to Ning Zheng.

Suddenly, Ning Zheng took a closer look at this unremarkable little old man. The unusually thick Cuban cigar in his hand was very eye-catching.Ning Zheng suddenly remembered that when He Zhulin, a classmate of the American Military Academy, gave him cigars when he returned to China to visit him, he also mentioned in the chat later that Churchill, an old British politician, liked large cigars very much. famous.

Otherwise, Ning Zheng is no stranger to this name—when he was studying in the United States, Ning Zheng once read the first volume of his book "World Crisis", which reflects on World War I, and after returning to China, he published it intermittently until the 20th year of the Republic of China. I have also finished reading the remaining four volumes, "I remember that he is a senior member of parliament, from aristocratic background, why is he in the public gallery now?"

Just at this moment, another budget discussion started. Members of the council barely said "Aye" who expressed their approval, and "Nah" who expressed their disapproval were flying all over the sky. I think that although these congressmen are arguing, they seem to be enjoying it. They seem to think that since they get their salaries, they can't get them for nothing.

"I didn't get selected, but I changed my career to become a writer, and I am very popular, and I get a lot of royalties. It's really 'a lost corner, a harvested corner." Feng Jiu has always been very concerned about the current situation of his favorite writers, so he made it clear In vain, "He spent his early years in India, Cuba, and South Africa, and also worked as a reporter. He has a wealth of experience and a good pen. But he was unlucky the year before last, and he got into a car accident when he went to the United States."

"Having been in politics for so many years, is he just kicked out like this?" Ning Zheng was a little puzzled, "You still don't accept the youngest? At such an advanced age, can you make a comeback?" His voice was very soft.

Although Feng Jiu also believed that Churchill's political career was over, but Ning Zheng was the one who asked the question, so he really couldn't say that, but he just encouraged him: "Of course. You can see how firm his eyes are, how tight the corners of his mouth are, He will be in cabinet again."

Ning Zheng stared at Churchill dubiously. From the dim eyes of the old man, Ning Zheng saw his disdain for the issues that his former colleagues were constantly arguing about, and his disappointment was beyond words.

Feng Jiu also did not expect that this old man who was over sixty years old and marginalized by the political arena was really hit by his own words. After the successor Prime Minister Chamberlain failed to appease fascist Germany, he turned the tide and finally became one of the three giants in World War II. one.

Sensitively, Churchill noticed that someone was looking at him, and immediately glanced over with his sharp eyes. First, he recognized the book in Feng Jiu's hand, and immediately moved his generous body and walked over. The couple could only stand up and pay respects, " Ma'am, do you want my autograph?" He asked kindly.

... Fengjiu is not in the habit of asking for autographs.However, knowing that she would make a mistake, she couldn't do the thing of flattering people on the spot, so she stood up with a dry smile and respectfully obeyed; Churchill confirmed Feng Jiu's Chinese identity, and asked her about Wei Tuo After Ma pinyin the name, he took out the pen in his jacket pocket, wrote a blessing in a unique cursive font that he really couldn't unconscionably praise, and signed his name; On the imposing man next to the beautiful Chinese woman, his eyes soon lit up, "Excuse me, are you General Ning of China?"

Ning Zheng was not surprised to be recognized, after all, every time he went to a country, mainstream newspapers would report on it.

"Let's talk." After shaking hands with Ning Zheng, he asked unceremoniously, and then he pushed past the couple very familiarly, and sat on the other side of Ning Zheng; Ning Zheng and Feng Jiu had to sit down again, Churchill asked: "You have just come here from Germany and France, how do you feel about the armaments of these two countries?"

When Ning Zheng heard this topic, he immediately felt quite speculative: Churchill naturally meant something when he asked this question.

It just so happens that he also feels that there is an atmosphere of war weariness in the whole of Europe, except for Germany and Italy; The news made him shocked and vigilant, and the excessive optimism of the French political circles that the war would not come again also made people feel uneasy.

As soon as Churchill heard it, he almost met a bosom friend. The famous orator immediately expounded his views quite close to Ning Zheng, and explained that he had just visited Germany the year before, and although Hitler refused to meet him, However, it can be seen from the production capacity of the German Air Force that in a few years, the military strength of the defeated country in World War I will keep pace with the British Air Force, which considers itself to be the strongest in the world.

He has already appealed to the political circles that not only Britain should strengthen its armaments, but also France should prepare as soon as possible. After all, only by preparing for war can the war be stopped; Italy's Mussolini also showed signs of moving closer to Hitler. Their fascist dictatorship may destroy European civilization. at once.

They chatted for a long time, until the House of Commons was about to close; Churchill still had more to say, and invited him again, but Feng Jiu secretly pinched Ning Zheng's arm from behind, and Ning Zheng noticed it, so he agreed ambiguously.Churchill smiled slightly, and without forcing, gave a slight salute, put on his black Humboldt hat and left.

After leaving the door, Feng Jiu hurriedly explained to the confused Ning Zheng: "You don't know, I have always admired Churchill's style of writing, after all, he is the only Englishman who claims to have mastered 12 English words; but I After reading several of his works, I always feel that what he expresses between the lines is the deep-rooted discrimination, contempt and guard against non-European and American colonial countries such as India and South Africa. I think he is not a fellow Chinese.”

Ning Zheng was surprised, "How could this happen?"

Feng Jiu nodded, "If you don't believe me, just watch."

Sure enough, at the end of World War II, Churchill, who is famous for his iron-blooded prime minister, delivered a famous speech to the effect that German fascism has been defeated, far away China, wait for us British to rescue you from the Japanese invaders .

In a word, it wiped out the achievements of the 14 million Chinese compatriots who fought bloody battles for [-] years. It seems that the Chinese can only wait for the gift of the savior of the Westerners, and they don’t think about how the unsatisfactory British army was dealt with by the Japanese in Burma. Miserably, they can only escape to India smoothly by relying on the Chinese Allied Forces to charge forward.

Not to mention that after the war, he strongly refused China, which was also a victorious country in World War II, to become a permanent member of the United Nations, and refused to return Hong Kong and other rogue acts.

The time soon came to the end of October, and it was the traditional hunting season in the UK in a few days. This year's hunting ground was still selected in Norfolk County in the northeast of England.

George Rampuson warmly invited the couple to participate, and Ning Zheng asked his wife for advice: Feng Jiu had never seen a scene of the British hunting, so he happily agreed.

After kissing the two children goodbye, and handing over the matter to Qiu Sheng, Wu Ma, and Zhi Changsheng, the couple arrived in Norfolk one day earlier and lived in a manor of Sir Blue's family, which is adjacent to the royal private residence Sander Lingham Manor.

Feng Jiu specially made a vermilion horse riding suit, which is dignified and dignified, which makes people think of the beautiful walls of the Forbidden City at a glance. It is very Chinese, and it is completely different from the bright red color of British red worn by the British. .

Ning Zheng, who was dressed in a black horse riding suit, stared at Feng Jiu who was about to go out, seeing her slender and powerful thighs wrapped in snow-white breeches, a black derby cap on her head, and a fishbone braid, fresh, sweet and full of vigor , secretly wondering if this is too eye-catching?I was hesitant to ask her to change a skirt, but when I thought about it, I could only ride sideways, but she had never practiced this position, wouldn't it be dangerous?While hesitating, Feng Jiu blamed him for dawdling even when he was almost late, this outrageously punctual "Old Time Man" hurried out, and Ning Zheng had no choice but to follow.

Xiaolan Gamo and his wife also went out, and the four of them chatted and laughed casually after meeting in the stables, choosing the horses they wanted.The husband and wife were busy taking care of the Lan family's general affairs on weekdays, and felt bored and restless in their hearts, so they looked forward to participating in this annual hunting event.

The air is fresh, the sky is high and the clouds are light. It is a rare sunny day, and everyone is in a good mood.The one selected by Fengjiu was the top-quality Hunter horse from the Lanjia stud farm. She teased the horse with wheat straw and candy in her hand. They quickly became familiar with each other. A group of people went out of the manor gate to Sandringe Im going.

After a while, a large number of nobles arrived.They saw the King and Queen—George V and Queen Mary also appearing, closely followed by their retinue.

Dozens of three-flowered spaniels were also released from the kennel, circling tamely in place and barking; the grass covered with Scottish heather was cold and windy, and the bushes with large purple flowers gushing out in summer had already It has turned brown, but it still maintains the shape of a dried flower, never fading.

Looking at this familiar scene that has been seen thousands of times in various British novels, Feng Jiu suddenly approached Ning Zheng, lowered his voice tremblingly and said, "I always feel that some kind of murder is going to happen."

... Ning Zheng choked when he heard the words, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he stretched out his head and gave Bai Shengsheng a hard bite on her earlobe, "Never forget to be naughty at all times... You have watched too much Sherlock Holmes."

Feng Jiu covered her ears and looked at Ning Zheng dissatisfied. She is serious, okay?
She turned her head to look at George V again. The British king had an old-fashioned seal beard. Feng Jiu suddenly felt that this face looked familiar, and asked Ning Zheng secretly, "Why do I seem to have seen him somewhere?"

Ning Zheng smiled, and said softly, "He and the former Tsar Nicholas II are cousins." No wonder, these two faces are [-]% similar.

King George V, who was nearly seventy years old, was getting old, but his interest remained undiminished. As soon as he heard that there were distinguished Chinese guests present, he immediately invited Ning Zheng, Xiaolan Pusheng and his wife over, and asked kindly about Ning Zheng. Zheng and Fengjiu asked about Sir Lan Pusheng's recent situation by the way, and expressed regret that Sir Lan couldn't go hunting; Queen Mary, who was always serious, also squeezed out a smile. Fengjiu knew that this The unsmiling old lady is the spiritual pillar of the king's life.

Feng Jiu noticed a sleek, tall black horse not far away, and a fashionable girl was sitting on it. She didn't wear the traditional British red hunting suit, but a unique black riding suit with a waist tie. Wearing a wide belt, it looks more like a wasp waist and buttocks; half of the Derby hat hangs down, revealing a snub nose with a hump and a delicate chin with a beautiful nest, which almost blends with the black horse, and the whole person is mysterious Qui, an indescribable charmer.She was listening intently to the king's speech.

George V asked Ning Zheng, "Did General Ning also hunt when he was in China?"

Ning Zheng replied yes.The King of England became interested, "What are you fighting for?"

Ning Zheng told him that he had beaten Siberian tigers and black bears.King George immediately became his confidant, "That's very interesting. In my European country, I didn't have such a large prey. 22 years ago, remember Mary, when we went to India?" He turned to look at his wife, Queen Mary, who was wandering far and wide, was suddenly named, and she said "hmm" twice like a conditioned reflex, and the King continued with satisfaction: "A total of 39 Bengal tigers, [-] rhinos, and [-] bears were beaten. Hunting! Isn't it?" He sought Ning Zheng's approval.

Seeing Ning Zheng reluctantly agreeing with such a huge number of prey, Feng Jiu thought to himself, it's too much, and hunting should be moderate. With so many large beasts, is it possible to wipe out all the tigers and rhinos?

In China, there are rules to be followed even when fishing with nets, especially those with extremely fine meshes: If even small fishes as small as ears and eyes are not let go, then why would you catch them in the future?This kind of net is called "extreme household net".

Suddenly, Fengjiu saw that beautiful girl lifted her veil, revealing a pair of purple violet eyes, a strand of white-gold curly hair swaying slightly on her sideburns, looking intently at Ning Zheng, her autumn waves rippling, probably because Ning Zheng said just now Hunting tigers caught her attention.

Irina, who followed them to meet the King of England, had also noticed this girl long ago, and whispered sarcastically, "Hehe, we have found prey again."

Feng Jiu was puzzled, and Elena explained to her, "Her name is Dorothy Campbell, she is 22 years old, unmarried, an heiress. Her father is the Duke of Argyll, very rich; Great-grandmother was once the mistress of a certain king of England, we won’t mention who she is, but she is very popular with men.” She pushed Feng Jiu again, “Be careful, she seems to be eyeing General Ning again. "

Feng Jiu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she was used to such things, following her from home to abroad endlessly.

Suddenly there was a tall and handsome man beside Queen Mary. Queen Mary smiled from the bottom of her heart when she saw him, but then she saw a tough and ordinary Chinese man behind him. Young woman, the smile she just showed suddenly disappeared.

Both of them were wearing coffee that no one had ever seen on hunting occasions, "Prince of Wales" hunting suits intertwined with light yellow checks, and newsboy caps that were generally considered unsuitable. Fengjiu noticed that there were quite a few four The 50-year-old nobleman shot over with disdainful eyes.

Yi Lianna just wanted to continue to teach Feng Jiu to literacy, but she didn't expect this man who was absent-minded to listen to the king, his eyes glanced around aimlessly, and suddenly fell on Feng Jiu, and his pair of naturally affectionate eyes immediately became brighter , rode over slowly, kissed Feng Jiuxing politely, and said hello to Yi Lianna.Elena's little horn had to stop.

Ning Zheng looked worried, and introduced politely and unfamiliarly that he was the Prince of Wales; Feng Jiu actually recognized his face as soon as he saw his face. To the British crown prince who always drives the global fashion trend.

She and Ning Zheng also each have a Fairbane Island sweater that became popular all over the world after he first wore it.

Almost immediately, the middle-aged woman followed and begged the crown prince with a smile to introduce who this rare oriental beauty was. Matching her appearance, she spoke in a smoky voice.But although she had a smile on her face, the woman's intuition told Feng Jiu that she was very wary of a woman who appeared next to the crown prince.

Fortunately, the King of England was impatient at this time, and announced the start of the hunt loudly.Of course, if you pay attention, you will find that the king's impatience started when he saw that woman.

As soon as the order was issued, the dogs barked and the horses neighed for a while, so the nobles who had been chatting in large and small circles hurriedly chased their prey.

Everyone rode forward and hunted hard, trampling down a lot of undergrowth and heather. Irene and George hurriedly said hello and followed closely; beautiful grouse, hare, red Foxes, wild boars... large and small prey are on the hunting list.

Ning Zheng and his wife fell behind.Ning Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and told Feng Jiu that the crown prince has a bad reputation and is sexually attractive, especially interested in married women.Feng Jiu felt chills for a while, what kind of habit is this?
But who was that woman then?Ning Zheng said that it was one of his mistresses, the American Mrs. Simpson.

one?Well, there are also Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Funes, but at present, Mrs. Simpson clearly has the upper hand.

... Fengjiu felt that this American woman must be unusual: since she has no advantage in appearance, then she has a pleasing temperament, right?

Feng Jiuyi said, Ning Zheng sneered, huh?What's the secret?Ning Zheng asked Feng Jiu to listen to him, and said softly, Feng Jiu's eyes widened immediately, "You know all about this?!"

Ning Zheng smiled and said: "How many years has he been seeking medical advice? It's no secret among the upper circles in Europe and America; it is said that only Mrs. Simpson, who has been married twice, can revive him. Hong Kong has learned the oriental secret art... However, even this cannot prevent him from being merciful."

Just as Feng Jiu wanted to say that he couldn't hide his strength and bide his time, Ning Zheng smirked again and said, "I don't know, you know how lucky you are now, don't you?"

Feng Jiu was furious, gave him a blank look, deliberately ran a few more steps in front of Ning Zheng's horse, and ordered his docile horse to kick a few times, kicking up the dirt on the ground, Ning Zheng was very happy: If time doesn't tease the shy wife, in exchange for her white eyes and coquettishness, isn't that a waste of life?It's a pity that there are too many people, it would be better if they were beaten again.

Feng Jiu was good at riding a horse. Although he hadn't ridden for a long time, he got used to it after a while. The couple didn't follow other people's enthusiasm, and just wanted to spend this rare hunting time leisurely.

That's what they thought, but it's a pity that others didn't have the time to spare. After a while, George ran back in a panic and invited Ning Zheng to hunt the cunning red fox with him. Go up; Ning Zheng looked at Feng Jiu in embarrassment, and the guest did what he wanted, Feng Jiu let him go quickly without paying attention, and began to gallop on the horse himself.

Knowing that she was going to hunt, Feng Jiu had practiced shooting clay flying saucers half a month in advance. Ning Zheng also praised her for her reflexes and accuracy; but she still couldn't bear to point her gun at those wild animals, after all. He is a person who has never killed a chicken since he was a child, how could he pull the trigger mercilessly?And she really didn't like the strong recoil when firing a gun.

While laughing that she is really a Bodhisattva, she kept aiming and retracting her gun, and moved forward empty-handed; suddenly a sound of horseshoes came from the side, and a young man with a pair of sea-blue eyes rushed over, keeping pace with her, While gently introducing himself as Mrs. Rampuson's nephew César, Fengjiu let go of his guard and chatted with him all the way, and found out that although this person is young, only 26 years old, he has extraordinary experience and has even been to North Africa. And Antarctica, their speech and behavior are humorous; although they met a lot of prey along the way, neither of them had the intention of hunting, and they didn't return to the station together until it was getting late.

On the way, I also met the Prince of Wales, Mrs. Simpson and another German—the prince introduced that this is the German ambassador to Britain Ribbentrop, a handsome middle-aged German man—they saw Feng Jiu Returning empty-handed, I couldn’t help being surprised: Feng Jiu explained that he didn’t shoot the grouse because it was too beautiful; the hare didn’t shoot because he remembered Peter Rabbit; How about this.

Cesar, the crown prince, Mrs. Simpson and the German ambassador couldn't help laughing, and then the two groups left for a while.Looking at their backs going away, Fengjiu wondered if she was dazzled—she seemed to have seen Ribbentrop touching Mrs. Simpson's face just now, and she also pressed her face against his hand, instantly In the meantime, the two quickly separated again.

This action is too intimate.

César asked abruptly, "Audrey, did you see it?"

Feng Jiu was taken aback, and César laughed, "You Chinese are too conservative. It's no secret in the British aristocratic circle. The German ambassador is also Mrs. Simpson's lover, and the crown prince knows about it."

ah?Feng Jiu was dumbfounded; César shook his head helplessly.This topic was really embarrassing, Feng Jiu quickly changed the subject, and the two chatted happily again.

Back at the station, Fengjiu found that Ning Zheng hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't help worrying a bit: Could it be that the Japanese super high school who didn't have eyesight was catching up again?It shouldn't be so, they have been very honest recently after being shaved several times in succession.

At this moment, Feng Jiu saw Ning Zheng, she laughed immediately, and suddenly frowned again, why was she walking side by side with a girl in black, and she was chatting with a smile, looking from afar, it was simply It is as eye-catching as a gouache painting—a handsome man, a charming woman, even the black top that Ning Zheng is wearing today, it seems that he deliberately wore it to match this girl.

Feng Jiu's heart jumped a few times suddenly, his eyes were swollen and a little sore, he quickly calmed down, and cursed himself that he was really getting worse and worse.

In fact, Feng Jiu is pure crooked Ning Zheng: Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after he cooperated with George to shoot and kill two wild boars and a dozen hares, he waited for a long time but did not see Feng Jiu catching up, so he rode his horse back and forth along the way He was always looking for his wife urgently, and had no time for socializing; George could clearly see that Dorothy had been secretly following Ning Zheng's trail, so he took the opportunity to follow Ning Zheng's side to pretend to be concerned, and Ning Zheng was only out of etiquette. Deal with her one by one.

Feng Jiu waited quietly on the spot, Ning Zheng also found her at this time, his face was beaming with joy, and before he could say a word, he left the girl behind him, hurriedly rode over, looked up and down for a long time, Seeing that she was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained slightly: "Where have you been for so long? I searched in the opposite direction and couldn't find you."

After all, hunting is not a game, and it is still dangerous. In just a short while, there are quite a few nobles who came back limping and muddy.

Ning Zheng had a smile on his face, but Feng Jiu could see that his face was slightly sullen.You still have the nerve to say me? !Fengjiu had the urge to be violent, but could only endure it.

Seeing that Feng Jiu didn't speak, Ning Zheng glanced at César who was by Feng Jiu's side inexplicably. César politely took off his hat and explained, saying that he grew up here and was very familiar with the terrain. So it was he who suggested that Mrs. Ning took a shortcut and turned to a hidden forest path at the beginning of the trip, which caused them to miss it.

After hearing this, Ning Zheng couldn't say anything more. At this time, the girl in black also came over. She took off her hat and her light golden hair was exposed. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, she seemed to have put on a golden hat again. A pair of violet eyes were full of smiles, "Mrs. Ning just made General Ning very worried... Hey, where is your prey?"

With strangers in front of him, what else can Feng Jiu do, he can only evade and say: "I'm not good at skills, so I didn't hit it."

Since seeing Fengjiu today, she has been fascinated by her, but César, who has no bad intentions, can't see that this beauty belittles herself so much, and quickly clarifies that the two of them are animal protectionists; Bi tried to shoot a pine cone swinging in the wind on the top of a pine tree, but Mrs. Ning hit it with one shot.

When Ning Zheng heard that his wife was actually traveling with this handsome young man and started a "friendly match", he wished he could put his face down with a "clack".

Dorothy laughed out loud, "Mrs. Ning is too self-effacing, I'm afraid her heart is too kind. General Ning with a heart of stone is not worthy of a lady like you." Ning Zheng was taken aback, but Feng Jiu stopped It's furious, men can't understand what these words are, but women are natural opponents, so naturally you have to listen to these words the other way around, she is insinuating that she is a woman who is unworthy of Ning Zheng who was born as a soldier.

"Where?" Feng Jiu responded calmly, "In our Chinese tradition, killing is creating killing karma. He killed the enemy on the battlefield out of necessity. As for me, naturally I can do as little as possible. Just like yours. In the "Old Testament", "Isaiah", and "Ezekiel", doesn't the Lord God also say to "respect, treat, and love all life"?"

Fengjiu dropped his book bag and rarely met an opponent in his life.Ning Zheng has always admired his wife's quick wit the most, and now he couldn't help but look straight at Feng Jiu, his eyes full of admiration.

"Mrs. Ning is very eloquent, she has been taught." The great-great-great-granddaughter of Mrs. Campbell gave Ning Zheng a meaningful look, then turned her gaze to Feng Jiu's face, and left with a polite smile.

During the dinner, they were invited by the King of England to eat in the banquet hall of the Sandringham Manor together with Xiaolan Pusheng and his wife and other nobles, and tasted a lot of prey as expected; Feng Jiu just listened to Ning Zheng explain on the road After a while, I'm already out of breath.At this time, he took a look at the roasted venison, roasted wild boar, and roasted rabbit meat on the table... and couldn't help feeling a little self-pitying.

If you are in China, how many ways can you eat a single deer: "tea steamed deer tail" researched by Yuan Mei, a veteran of the Qing Dynasty, antler chicken slices, winter bamboo shoots and sea cucumber soup, dill and spring onion nine-made deer preserved... As for Deer penis, deer blood, deer liver and deer intestines can all be used in dishes. How can you be satisfied with just a little meat?Violence.

No wonder the British are as famous for their food as their weather.

Ning Zheng knew that she didn't like food, and he didn't like it either, but he could only persuade her to be patient and let Mama Wu cook a few dishes when she got back, so as to reward the Chinese stomach - this trip to Europe, if there is no Wu Mom, I'm afraid everyone will lose a lot of weight.At that time, authentic Chinese restaurants were rarely opened overseas, and there was nowhere to satisfy their cravings.

Fortunately, Mama Wu is very skilled and can often creatively make local European ingredients into Chinese dishes that are acceptable to everyone. Otherwise, people living abroad would be overwhelmed by their mouths.

Ning Zheng asked again in a low voice, isn't it a little regretful that there was no murder?Feng Jiu pouted in dissatisfaction: Am I the one who fears that the world will not be chaotic?

After thinking carefully, Ning Zheng said, "Yes, yes." Feng Jiu was so angry that he wanted to pounce on him and bite him again.
