[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 43

Food, wine at Hockley Old House.There was also the sunny afternoon with golden light, all of which made Rose's body and mind relax to the extreme.

Walking around San Francisco, Rose changed from a millionaire girl to a little match seller in an instant.The entanglement in it can no longer be described in words.No one's money is windy, and when it is spent, it will hurt.

Others were like this, and Rose was no exception.And yet she did.In the past, even if she was killed, she would never have imagined that one day, she would be so dedicated.

But speaking of it, if she hadn't been in a rush of things and words, she wasn't sure if she would be so generous.Maybe she still does.Maybe not.Maybe it's still the same sentence, do what you can.maybe.It's just that at least she won't regret not doing anything in the future.

In a daze, he was picked up by Karl and sent back to the bed in the bedroom.The original sleepiness disappeared a lot at this time.

"Why did you wake up?" Seeing Rose opened her eyes, Carl pinned a strand of disobedient hair behind her ear, and asked her with a smile.

Rose looked a little out of breath, and Carl, who was sitting at the end of her bed, said, "It's summer, and I'll be refreshed after a while. Hehe, am I heavy?"

Carl thought about it and decided to tell the truth. "It's very heavy. You are the heaviest thing I've ever hugged when I grew up." Born in a wealthy family, Carl has never held a heavy object.No matter how thin Rose is, she is still a living person who weighs a hundred and eighty catties.

When Rose heard this, her eyes froze.He snorted angrily, "You are the thing."

"Well, well, well, I'm a thing. You're not a thing."

"You're nothing."

Carl was taken aback, what does this mean?Is it because things are not happy, not because things are not happy?

Rose looked at Carl who was a little confused.Tears flow in my heart.Is this the generation gap?

Leaving aside the topic of whether it was a thing or not, Rose took the initiative to ask: "How are your affairs going? When can you accompany me back to England?"

Carl didn't worry about 'things' any more, and said following Rose's words: "Next week. The company's affairs have been dealt with. There is a dance this weekend, which is more important. After we attend, we can go to England."

Rose: "...oh!" Another dance.She couldn't figure it out.Why do these people love to dance so much.A man and a woman gather around and twist left and right, hugging and swaying in circles. Why can it last for hundreds of years?

Seeing Rose's reluctance, Carl tapped her little nose with his finger. "Who said that Fusang should be added to the Chinese Exclusion Act? There are so many people of status in the ball, so we must contact more. Exchange information."

Rose's eyes lit up, and then Carl hooked his fingers with a smile.Carl looked down.Rose kissed him hard on the cheek.

"Honey, I find you so handsome and charming."

Carl also laughed when he heard Rose's flattering smile.Whether it's good or bad, someone is put in my heart, and even my heart feels a warm temperature.

The once decisive heartbeat, and the blood flowing through the body without temperature.I didn't feel anything at that time.But like today, enjoying the sweetness of life.Thinking back on those things again, I realized that it was a kind of unspeakable loneliness.

Even if it is sour, it is also too much honey, a burden of sweetness.

The happy time always flies so fast, and after a few days of being intimate with Carl, it is the day of the dance.After tidying up carefully, he accompanied Karl to a dance party with an amazing gesture.

At the ball, Rose seemed to inadvertently mentioned to someone that she wanted to buy some properties in the United States, but she still hesitated in which state to buy.

Seeing this, everyone also gave some opinions.Some suggested that Rose directly buy land and shops.If you rent it out, just collect the rent, which is very worry-free.Some people suggested that Rose could also build a factory in the United States.Now is the best time for industry.

Mrs. Lushang Russell, who specializes in designing pajamas, really hopes that Rose will enter the clothing industry.

Seeing her, Rose expressed her worries about the clothing industry, "Madam's suggestion, I thought about it when I was on the Titanic." After a pause, she continued, "Anyone who needs to design clothing It’s some nobles and rich people. The demand for this part of people is actually not very big, because there are still a few people. Moreover, the clothes specially designed for them can’t be sold to others.” Luo Silk is talking about the problem of bumping into shirts.People with money and status are most disgusted by Zhuangshan.

"On the other hand, this group of people have their own unique taste in aesthetics, and they also have unique experience in fashion design. Except for talented designers like Madam, they look down on others. And Madam There is only one, and design is a labor-intensive and time-consuming thing.......And the poor generally choose high-quality and cheap ready-made clothes. If we do ready-made clothes, the profit will not be too high, and there will be pressure The possibility of goods. With the current purchasing power of people, I think the clothing factory can wait a little longer. Maybe in a few years, it will be able to meet our minimum requirements for building a factory. But the clothing business is really a good idea.”

There will be a war in two years. How about setting up a garment factory and pressing a pile of clothes and fabrics?

Hearing Rose's words, Mrs. Lushang Russell and the surrounding ladies were a little surprised.This mouth is a mouthful of business, which is really surprising.As a matter of fact, they don't think Rose has this opinion, so what Rose said was actually discussed by Mr. Hockley with her.

For a moment, everyone envied Rose for being able to let a man say this to her.

Time flies, and Rose and her party, accompanied by Karl, board a cruise ship to England.

"Is this also first class? Compared with Titanic, it's far behind." Rose took a small fan and looked back and forth in the cabin.

"Well, it's about the same as the best second-class cabin on the Titanic." Carl stood in front of the fireplace in the cabin, smelling the shredded tobacco in his hand.

Carl was forced by Rose to quit smoking.Now that I am addicted to smoking, I can only smell it.Just quench your thirst.

And coffee, of course, and Rose could remember someone making a good cup of coffee.She let the word out that Carl had a bad stomach and didn't drink much coffee.So, in order to help her back the lie, let's drink less coffee.

As soon as Rose turned her head, she saw Carl's aggrieved face, and said with a smile, "Didn't I prepare mints for you? When you want to smoke, eat one."

"Eat it, toothache."

"puff".Then Rose remembered the decayed teeth in someone's mouth.

Carl also laughed. When they were not familiar with each other before, they still had an image, but now they have no image at all between each other.

"Miss, your luggage is packed." Tracy came out from the bedroom and said softly to the couple in front of her.

"Well, thank you Tracy. There is no maid on this ship. If you are not tired, go across to see what is going on with Leger."

This ship cannot be compared with the Titanic in terms of specifications or luxury.Even the maids that the Titanic provided for the first-class cabins are not here.

Usually when Karl travels, Leger takes the ship's waiter to clean up by himself.Although I gave a tip, many places are not very dedicated.This time Karl didn't take his maid out either. As his fiancée, Rose naturally had to do her part.

Although in her mind, this is really superfluous.

"Okay, miss. I'm not tired yet, so I'll go over and help."

Rose nodded, and said again: "Go and tell Jenny, if there is nothing else, let her arrange it by herself in the next two days, and it's the same with Carter."

"Okay, miss." Tracy bent back again.

"The two gentlemen from Huaxia, let them go to rest too. I have Carl here." When Rose said this, she turned her head and smiled at Carl.

Carl raised his eyebrows and glanced at Rose with a half-smile.Does not refute.

I really don't understand why Rose treats Huaxia people so kindly. Even though she has always been kind and amiable to others, she treats Huaxia people too much.However, this eccentric eye is clear and cute.

After dismissing Tracy, the two walked to the round table by the window and sat down.You and I are envious of mandarin ducks.

For this trip, Karl didn't bring many people, just one Leger and four bodyguards.As for Rose, there are also five people, three men and two women.A group of 12 people, seven cabins.They all lived face to face.It is convenient to come and go.

The cabin has a layout of one bedroom and one living room, the bedroom is also small, and the living room looks the same.But it is enough for two people's daily life.

"I didn't expect that adding the Fuso people to the Chinese Exclusion Act would be so smooth." Rose sipped the mango juice with a satisfied expression on her face.

"It's not that the Fusang people did it on their own. Since the Huaxia people returned to the country in large numbers, the bad deeds of the Fusang people are really countless. Now many people wonder whether the things that were not detected before were all done by the Fusang people .” Originally, Americans looked down on Asians very much, but compared with Chinese people before, I can’t see how Fusang people are.It's just that this time when the Huaxia people left in large numbers, the Fusang people were highlighted.

He handed over a piece of snack in his hand.Carl looked at Rose's appearance of being happy even with a snack, and said lightly that the Fusang people were rejected by the Americans.

Since the return of the Huaxia people, according to Rose's request, the bosses of the Golden Dragon Gate wore the traditional costumes of the Fusang people when dealing with some dark business.It's just that the head shape of the Fusang people makes the Huaxia people a little unbearable.

Because of this, a group of people in Jinlongmen all shaved their heads bald.Glue a wig on top of your head when you go on a mission.

In order to make their esteemed employer, Ms. Rose, more satisfied with their services, most of the people in Golden Dragon Gate are now systematically learning Fusang, trying to shout a few slogans in Fusang when performing tasks.

Of course, because the time is too short and the learning ability is very limited, when the brothers of Jinlongmen go out to the street, most of them can only shout "Baga".But the effect is also very significant.

Because the 'Fusang people' were working hard, the Americans' anger towards the fleeing Chinese people was directed at the Fusang people.It is impossible for the Americans to let the Fusang people run away after a Chinese person ran away.So must 'strengthen management'.

And since the Fuso people were included in the Chinese Exclusion Act two days ago, the employer, Ms. Rose, even gave a generous bonus to the brothers who were on missions in the Golden Dragon Gate.

As for the source of the money, just look at Comrade Kaizi Gokar beside him.

It is precisely because of this that everyone is very active in dressing up as Fuso people and going out on the street to perform tasks.

"Honey, have you bought the ticket to Huaxia? If not, I'll arrange someone to buy it." Speaking of Fusang, Carl remembered the ticket to Huaxia.

"I haven't bought it yet. I'll ask someone to buy it later. The people on my side haven't been determined yet. What about you? These are the people on your side, right?"

Rose counted with her fingers. Jenny and Carter must accompany her.Let Tracy take it with you, anyway, it's not bad for such a person, so let's treat it as a trip at public expense.The son-in-law brothers of the Li family must follow him back.I don't know if I will come back or not.

The rest are the seven Huayi servants in Bukett's house.She has been away for such a long time, they should all have thought about leaving questions.

Among these few people, Rose is most reluctant to be Da Li and his wife and Duo'er.Jewelry and clothes, you can wear anything, this is the aspect of eating.After a short meal, I felt that I had dealt with it.

If Li Da and his wife really decide to leave, then she will definitely recruit two more kitchen masters when she returns to Huaxia.

As for Changxing, Rose didn't care.

"Huh? Haven't you decided yet?" Rose's going to Huaxia has been decided long ago. Why is it that she is about to leave, and she hasn't decided who to take with her?

"Counting the Chinese bodyguards, Jenny, Carter and Tracy, they must go. The couple who cook Chinese food in my house must follow me. It's been two months on the boat. They are here, and they are more careful in eating. I asked about the others before I came to the United States. They haven't decided to stay yet."

Carl frowned, Rose's attitude towards the servants was too accommodating.This will make those inferior people bully their heads, especially those Chinese people.Hearing what she said just now, Rose decided on their trip without even asking Tracy.When you come to those inferior people, you have to consider these.

Democracy, it is said by people with money and status.For those inferior people, it is superfluous and useless.He can treat the Chinese people as the same as the British and the Americans for Rose, but he cannot and cannot treat the Chinese people as more noble than the Europeans.

"Since you hired them, they should follow your ideas. You are too soft."

Of all he knew of Rose these days.He also knew that he couldn't express the disdain in his heart, he could only mention it in general.

Rose, who didn't understand what Carl said, went on to say: "Well, I understand. They couldn't help themselves when they came here. Now that I'm going to Huaxia, I have to ask them what they think .Or stay with me in the future, I will naturally use them. If you want to leave, I will not stop them. Just hire someone again."

"You decide for yourself. If these people don't listen to discipline, remember to tell me. I will help you find it again."

Carl thought that the person he was looking for should be more reliable than the one she was looking for.Make it up by yourself first, and then give it to her.Also save some worry.

Rose heard it and smiled.Carl's kindness was not rejected.

"The weather is fine today. After lunch, shall we go for a walk on the deck, or come back and rest for a while?" They rushed to the pier early in the morning, and at this moment, the two of them sat down and had a conversation.

"Sleep for a while after the meal, and then go out for a walk." Rose tilted her head and thought for a while and replied.

"it is good."
