0009 Timothy Lee

The little loli refused to let go, stood in front of Dali, looked up at Xuan Yuemeng, "Wait, that might be a little difficult for you just now. I'll give you a simple one. You can leave after you can tell. Ω Please ∮Read the book Ww∮W�∫.ΩQingKanShu.cC”

Xuan Yuemeng: "Are you annoying? I can't even have a poem? I said I am not a child prodigy, you are a child prodigy. I said you are the most powerful, what else can you do?"

The little loli almost got mad. This was the first time someone talked to him like this. Who is not obedient to him? Is this person a fool? "Come down, you can't do it."

Xuan Yuemeng sighed, really didn't understand. No matter what era, any lady from a high-ranking official family had such a arrogant and domineering personality, regardless of age! "Da Li, let's go, this is called ugly people making more troubles."

vigorously:"……"

Although two children quarreled, they were already top-notch in terms of the level of the child. Dali and the maid were fresh.

When the little loli heard Xuan Yuemeng say that she was ugly, she was furious at that time. Ugly, this is her big taboo, not to mention that since she is sensible, everyone says she is beautiful when she sees her, "You dare to scold me!" Everyone says I am the best, come down!!!

Dali hesitated and looked back at Xuan Yuemeng. Xuan Yuemeng was on Dali's back and said calmly: "Aren't you going to let me have a fight with this ugly monster? Why don't you leave?"

He said strongly, walked around the little loli, and carried Xuan Yuemeng to the entrance of the alley.

Xuan Yuemeng lay on Dali's back and heard a series of candids, candids,...bags coming from behind!

Xuan Yuemeng sighed, "Do you know the child just now?"

Dali: "I know, but I don't know what the name is. I should be the daughter of Lord Zeng Jize. It seems that Lord Zeng Jize only has such a daughter now and I love her very much."

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, not taking a child about five years old to heart.

Xuan Yuemeng originally didn't say that she had never met a woman in modern times, but she had met several, but since she got married in her first love, she has not cared about love and other things. Only little men love each other all day long. When men have money, they are normal, seventy or eighty or eighty or eighty or seventy or eighty or eighty as usual. Please read the book W w∮�Ω.

ΩQingKanShu.

Not to mention a girl as old as a little loli, who is less than sixteen years old is not considered a woman in Xuan Yuemeng’s standards?

The two of them came to the concession and wandered around, but there was no accurate destination.

"Hello, sir." A foreigner in his thirties, with a tall nose, blue eyes, yellow head, stood in front of Dali and Xuan Yuemeng in a black robe and a pastor-like appearance.

Foreigners' Chinese is very poor, but Xuan Yuemeng roughly figured it out and said in English: "Hello, is there anything wrong?"

Dali was shocked, and the foreigner was also shocked. Dali was definitely not as surprised as the foreigner, because Dali had heard Dazhi say that Xuan Yuemeng had been to the concession and loved to listen to foreigners' speeches. But he didn't expect that Xuan Yuemeng could actually speak foreigners' words. The foreigner couldn't even understand how a person as young as Xuan Yuemeng could speak such good English.

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng's spoken language is very poor, so she can only say a few of the most commonly used sentences.

After being surprised, the foreigner looked at Xuan Yuemeng with a smile, and then said a long list of foreign words to Xuan Dali. The foreigner thought that even a child could understand his words, and there was no problem with this adult who carried the child on his back.

Xuan Dali was so scared that he took a step back, "Young master, what is this foreigner going to do? Let's go back? I heard that foreigners are very bad!"

In fact, even Xuan Yuemeng didn't understand what foreigners said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, with me here, this foreigner doesn't look nervous."

Xuan Yuemeng asked again in English: "Do you have something to do? Is there anything that can help you?"

The foreigner looked suspiciously at the two people in front of him, but couldn't figure it out. It seemed that adults would not say what they said, but children could understand a little English. It turned out that the whole string that foreigners said just now was German.

The foreigner introduced himself seriously and said, "Don't be afraid. My name is Timothy Lee. I'm very happy to know you. I want to ask, do you want to go to the church with me?"

Xuan Yuemeng understood the first half of the words, but didn't understand what the foreigner said in the second half of the words, "Your name is Timothy Li? Are you very happy to know us? What do you want us to do for you?"

The foreigner danced and gestured: "Church, faith, God will help you, and everyone in the world needs God. Please read the book Ww∮WΩ.QingKanShu.cC”

Xuan Yuemeng finally understood, took out a ingot of silver, smiled and gestured, "No, no, we don't need it, we just come to play. My family is in business, and we don't need to believe in your god, we only believe in this."

The foreigner was very happy to see that he could communicate with Xuan Yuemeng, "Oh, very good, very good. Actually, I am not a priest. I just helped in the church temporarily. I am very happy to know you. Actually, I am also a businessman. What is your name to him?"

Xuan Yuemeng: "My name is Xuan Yuemeng, his name is Xuan Dali, he is my servant, what business are you doing? Which country are you from? Which country are you talking about just now?"

Timothy Lee: "Oh, Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Dali, you are a... You are talking about aristocrats here, yes, yes, you must be aristocrats, me? I just spoke German, I am a German, but I have British nationality, you can also think that I am a British. I just spoke German, thinking you can understand, I do all kinds of business, and various industries."

Xuan Yuemeng understood this passage without spending much effort and was very happy. She didn't expect that she could communicate with a real foreign devil without reading subtitles without translator. He used to work in a foreign company and spent most of his time drawing pictures in the design department. He also worked as a customs broker assistant for a period of time, but he had never contacted foreigners. Even if he had contact with foreigners, he was limited to emails and received emails. "A variety of industries? It's great, amazing, very powerful. Then you must be very rich, why do you still have to do things in the church?"

Timothy Li was a little embarrassed: "I'm not awesome at all. I've been here for more than two years and have never succeeded in a single business. I'm very bad at Chinese and don't know how to deal with Chinese people. If I don't help in the church, I will have no place to live and no food to eat."

It took Xuan Yuemeng a long time to understand this sentence. Dahan, it turned out that he had met a poor man. Only then did he notice that in addition to the black priest robe on the outside, the pants inside were very old, the leather shoes were peeled off, and there was even a little opening in front, which was obviously in a bad condition.

Xuan Yuemeng: "Then you can also work in other foreign companies? Wouldn't that be more income than helping in the church?"

This time, Timothy Li took a long time to understand what Xuan Yuemeng meant, mainly because Xuan Yuemeng’s grammar is incorrect and pronunciation is also problematic. The modern English learned by Xuan Yuemeng is mainly American accent, and the orthodox British English is popular in this era. "I am very embarrassed to say that I have worked in several foreign companies, and basically everyone here knows me. They say I am stupid and I am too honest in business, so I don’t want me."

Xuan Yuemeng sighed and understood, "Then why didn't you go back to China? You should have many opportunities in China, right? If you don't do well, you should change the environment?"

Then Timothy Li suddenly realized that he had actually said so much to a stranger or a child of such a young age. He smiled politely, "You guys go play, I have to go to work, goodbye, I'm very happy to meet you."

Xuan Yuemeng realized that his problem was a bit hurtful, and smiled apologetically. After finally having a foreigner who could talk to him, how could he let him go easily? She patted Xuan Dali, "Mr. Timothy, don't worry, this is what I want to treat you to lunch. My friend is very interested in joining the church. Let's talk and chat. I want to be friends with you. I let my friend believe in church!"

When Timothy Li heard that Xuan Yuemeng was looking for someone to believe in religion, he was very happy. In fact, he had been the pastor assistant for almost half a year for several months and had not found a single believer. If this continues, he would not even be able to eat the idle food of the church. "Mr. Yuemeng, is this true? Are you willing to let your servant join me in the church? Does he have time to baptize and worship?"

Xuan Yuemeng didn't understand, but guessed the general meaning and pointed at Xuan Dali, "Yes, he listens to me in everything, he will do whatever I ask him to do. But I have a condition, you have to be friends with me and chat with me every day."

Timothy cheered, clenched his fists, raised them and shook them twice, "Oh, my friend, thank God, you are really my good friend. If you don't invite me to lunch, I will have to go hungry at noon."

Xuan Dali asked nervously: "Young Master, what have you said to this stupid foreigner for so long just now? What are he doing now? Also, what are you always pointing at me just now? You are not planning to sell the Americas to me, right? I heard that foreigners are specifically looking for people from our Qing Dynasty to sell people to America to dig gold. If you go there, you will die."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. I'll introduce you. Do you still know America? How do you know?"

Xuan Dali: "Who doesn't know? Foreigners often come to deceive people to go to America, and they cost fifty taels of silver per person. They heard that they couldn't come back after they went there. They were all exhausted over there."

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, it’s so cheap? Fifty taels of silver are almost equivalent to 20,000 yuan in the future, right? You can buy a life that strengthens labor with 20,000 yuan? "Don't worry, I can't bear to sell you. Have you brought the money when you go out?"

Xuan Dali said nervously: "Young Master, what are you going to do? I don't have money."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled at Timothy Li: "Let's go, take us to a place that is not too expensive. I only brought more than two taels of silver. Can I use silver here directly? Or do we want to exchange it for pounds?"

It took Timothy Li to understand what Xuan Yuemeng meant for a long time and smiled, "You know a lot. You need more than ten taels of silver to exchange for one pound. You can exchange at most two shillings here, and you can also get a few pennies. It is indeed not convenient to use silver in the concession. Only when foreign companies trade with Chinese merchants. If you want to use it, you need to exchange some shillings and pennies first."

After Xuan Yuemeng understood what Li Timothy meant, he asked Li Timothy to take him to. At this time, many foreign companies in the concession had functions similar to banks. Li Timothy took Xuan Yuemeng to exchange and exchange.

Xuan Yuemeng changed all of them, and the more than two taels of silver became two shillings and zero eight pennies.

Timothy Lee: "This Gaolin foreign company was run by the British. The exchange procedures here are simple and the credit is good."

Xuan Yuemeng nodded and looked at the pile of shillings and pennies in his little fat claws, two shillings, one five pence, one two pence, and one pennies, a total of five coins.

Xuan Dali: "Young master, can you show me? You just exchanged the silver for this foreign thing? My card is like copper coins, and it seems to be a little better than our copper coins. Are these worth more than two taels of silver? Don't be cheated by foreigners."

Timothy Li understood Xuan Dali's words and was very angry, "Mr. Yuemeng, your servant is insulting me."

Xuan Yuemeng did not understand what Timothy Li said, but combined with what Xuan Dali said just now and with what Timothy Li's current expression, he probably guessed something, "Mr. Timothy Li, don't be angry with him, he didn't mean it."

Xuan Yuemeng said to Dali again: "Will your young master be deceived so easily? You wronged Mr. Timothy, I ask you to apologize to others now."

Xuan Dali looked at the angry Timothy Li and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Foreigner."

Xuan Yuemeng said seriously: "Mr. Timothy, he apologized to you, please forgive him."

Timothy Li glanced at Xuan Dali and reached out his hand.
