The people present were all young ladies of the various families. Seeing a good-looking servant walk up to the stage, they all felt a little strange.
What kind of person was Lin Wanrong? When he was a manager, he had dozens of people under him. Every day, he would speak with confidence and composure. That was a common occurrence. How could he be afraid of such a small scene?
He walked up to the stage and looked around. Then, he smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, hello. My name is Lin San. I am a small servant of the Xiao Family. Everyone calls me Third Brother. "
The people below the stage looked at him curiously. Luo Ning saw that his expression was natural and his smile was warm. She thought, 'Is this person born without fear?' The Grand Mistress saw him walk up to the stage. Facing so many gazes, he did not show the slightest bit of fear. She felt gratified and confused at the same time.
Lin Wanrong smiled at Xiao Yuruo and said, "Our Grand Mistress has been to many places. She has been to the surrounding provinces of Jiangsu countless times. However, she has no way to share her travels with everyone. Why? Because she is the head of the Xiao Family. She has to run around for the sake of the Xiao Family's livelihood. Although the famous mountains and rivers are beautiful, she does not have the time to enjoy them. Her responsibilities are too heavy. Most of her time is spent on the road. "
Lin Wanrong's voice was low. The Grand Mistress bit her lips. She did her best to hold back the hot tears that were about to fall. The people below the stage were silent. The majority of the people present were women. Lin Wanrong's few words had aroused their sympathy. Thinking that Lady Xiao was just like them, a weak woman. However, she had to shoulder such a heavy burden. How could they not admire her? On the other hand, the number one scholar of Jin Ling. Although he traveled around and talked extravagantly, he relied on his ancestors. In comparison, it was clear who was superior.
Luo Ning also snickered secretly. This profiteer's ability was really not small. In these few sentences, he didn't say a single bad word about Young Master Hou, but he easily defeated Young Master Hou.
"It's Grand Mistress's regret to miss the scenery of famous mountains and rivers, but it's a blessing for the hundreds of people in the Xiao Family. It was precisely because of her hard work that the Xiao Clan was managed in such a neat and tidy manner, that everyone was able to wear beautiful silk, and that everyone was able to use this unprecedented perfume. He missed a part of the scenery, but held up a piece of the sky. The Grand Mistress's regret could not be called a regret. She was a typical example of the hardworking and tenacious Chinese women. Who said that women were inferior to men? I think women hold up half the sky. "
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Enthusiastic applause sounded. Although Lin Wanrong's flattery was a bit too blatant, it hit the bottom of the hearts of all the women. In this era, the status of women was extremely low. Although these rich young ladies looked glorious, none of them could make decisions for themselves. Which man dared to say "women hold up half the sky"? But this man did it. Although his status was a bit low, he was still a man. The young ladies below the stage were instantly grateful.
After Lin Wanrong finished speaking, he was covered in sweat and had goosebumps all over his body. He had flattered countless people, but this time, even he couldn't stand it. Damn, I'm building a monument for the Grand Mistress. I'm a typical male chauvinist, but today I'm here to promote women's rights. The price of this face is not cheap.
Fortunately, his face was thick, and no one could compare to him. He gathered the passionate gazes of all the young ladies on him. He smiled and waved to the crowd.
The Grand Mistress looked at the arrogant guy, and her face turned red. She thought to herself, you're praising me too much. What women hold up half the sky? You're full of lies, and you don't even blink. I don't know if I should believe you or not.
Hou Yuebai and Yu Wenpo, the two scholars, turned pale and did not look good. This servant had no respect for the law, and was promoting women's rights. He went against the rules of the ancestors.
Lin Wanrong looked at the excited crowd below, and felt very pleased. Damn, the young ladies of this era are too easy to trick. They're a hundred times better than me at that time.
"Speaking of sightseeing, it's actually what idlers like to do. For example, me." Lin Wanrong changed the topic and gave Hou Yuebai a small smirk. Damn, if you didn't have a prefectural magistrate as your father, you wouldn't be sightseeing. You're so bored that you can write poems all day. You're just a noob.
Everyone in the room heard his self-mockery, and they all smiled kindly.
"When I was young, my father brought me to many places. He once said something that I still remember vividly. He said, people are the most foolish, because they don't know how foolish they are. I couldn't understand it in the past, but when I came to my senses, I couldn't see him anymore. "Lin Wanrong pretended to wipe away a few drops of tears.
Luo Ning's lips curled into a smile. This Brother Lin was born to be a glib talker. His words, were humorous and profound. Even if it was a lie, others could understand it. It was much more brilliant than Hou Yuebai's words.
The ladies in the room had never seen such a brave and humorous servant. In front of so many people, not only was he not timid, but he was humorous and witty. He spoke with confidence and composure, and he could even say such profound words. It was really beyond their imagination. Even Miss Wan Ying, who had always protected Hou Yuebai, had to admit that this servant's words were very bewitching and could move people's hearts.
"Actually, China is very big, and the world is also very big. There are many things that we have never seen before, or even thought of, exist in this world. Let's take China for example. Everyone knows Mount Huangshan, Mount Tai, and Wuyi, but have you ladies ever thought about what is beyond these mountains? "
Lin Wanrong sighed and continued, "In the westernmost region of the Great Hua, there is a peak called Mount Everest. It stands tall and is covered in snow all year round, reaching three feet into the clouds. It is the highest mountain in the world, and is revered by the people of the world. In the north of China, there is the Tianshan Mountain Range, and the Snow Sea Heavenly Lake. The Heavenly Lake is the legendary Jade Lake. It is covered with snow all year round, and produces snow lotuses. The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountain Range, between the boundless sea of clouds. The wind blows for tens of thousands of miles, blowing past the Jade Gate Pass. This is the beautiful scenery of the Tianshan Mountain. In the south of China, it stretches for thousands of miles, to the south of the sea. It is commonly known as Hainan. On Hainan Island, there are the ends of the earth, the Five Finger Mountain, the Ten Thousand Spring River, and the vast ocean. The coast of the East China Sea covers thousands of miles, and is rich in resources. It faces Korea, Ryukyu, Japan, and other small places. It is the throat of China's sea. "
Lin Wanrong finished speaking in one breath, but he was incomparably carefree in his heart. I won't give you ladies some strong medicine. Who knows how long you are going to be like a frog in a well?
His words were something that no one present had ever heard or heard before. Mount Everest, the bright moon rising from the Heavenly Mountain, the ends of the earth, Ryukyu, Dongying, any one of them was shocking. The hall fell silent for a moment.
Hou Yuebai's expression was also ugly. He had thought that his knowledge was broad enough. But in front of this servant, it was not worth mentioning at all. Not to mention other things, he had heard of Korea, Ryukyu, and Japan. He did not expect this servant to have such knowledge.
"Lin San, have you been to all these places?" A curious voice came. Lin Wanrong looked over and saw that it was Miss Wan Ying, who had a good impression of Hou Yuebai. Her eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, as if she was looking forward to these places.
"I have been to Tianshan, Hainan Island, and the East China Sea. As for Mount Everest, I also want to go there. It's a pity that I don't have that ability. "Lin Wanrong said humorously. These were all places that he had been to in his previous life, so of course it was still fresh in his memory.
"But life is short. If I want to go to all these places, I'm afraid that even two lifetimes won't be enough." Miss Wan Ying muttered to herself.
"The length of life is not a problem, as long as we believe that we are always on the road!" Lin Wanrong said loudly.
The Grand Mistress was touched and puzzled. How did this bad guy know so many things? Had he really been there?
Lin Wanrong saw that everyone was puzzled and confused, even someone as wise as Luo Ning was no exception. He could not help but let out a long sigh. He said slowly, "Everyone's eyes are on China, but has anyone ever thought that this world is so big. Is there only one China?"
"The answer is no." Knowing that he could not get anything out of her, he said decisively, "China is just a small corner of this world. This place that we are in is called Asia. It is connected to the land through the ocean and other continents. Europe, America, Africa, every place has civilization and the existence of countries. The land of Europe, the people are tough, Napoleon, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Roman Emperor, the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, they have white skin, yellow hair, and blue eyes. The land of Africa, mysterious and unpredictable, the endless Sahara Desert, ancient cannibals, they have black skin, and bright eyes. The land of America, wild and wild, the mysterious Amazon jungle, countless indigenous people, bloody massacres, they have brown skin, and people have endless yearning. The Chinese civilization, the Babylonian civilization, the Mayan civilization, countless civilizations have arisen in our world, and countless languages have arisen in our world. It's just that we are like frogs in a well, never knowing how to go out, and lost the courage to explore. That's why we are like this, isolating ourselves from the world, leaving behind a disaster for thousands of years. "
Silence!
Absolute silence!
Lin Wanrong's words were like a heavy bomb, making everyone dizzy. This was a hundred times more complicated than the geography of China. Yellow hair, blue eyes, black skin, brown skin? Did such people really exist? It was hard to believe. Everyone in the room felt that their brains were not enough to process it.
After a long silence, Luo Ning was the first to react and asked softly, "Brother Lin, is what you said true?" She was deeply shocked by Lin Wanrong's words. Although she had not seen people with yellow hair and blue eyes, she had heard of them. But was the African with black skin really that dark? It was too unbelievable.
"The stupidity of humans lies in the fact that they never know their own stupidity." Lin Wanrong sighed and used this sentence to answer Luo Ning's question, and also ended his earth-shattering speech.
He felt that he was a little out of control, and even a little sad. After saying so much, he could not help it. He also did not know if this different world had Napoleon, Rome, or Babylon, but no matter how many changes there were, a strong and prosperous Europe would definitely exist. He still had a lot to say, but when he saw the blank eyes below, he stopped in time. When he talked about the world's geography to others, it was the same as others talking to him about poetry. It was like playing the lute to a cow.
To be honest, looking at these talented men and women hiding in their little nests, thinking of a few erotic poems all day long, he felt a deep sense of sadness and helplessness. If he was born in their era, would he be one of them?
A feeling of loneliness that he had never felt before lingered in his heart. In the torrent of history, for the first time, he felt that he was so insignificant.
He sighed. "Forget it. I'm not here to save the world. Why should I care so much? I'll just make money and spend it. I'll find Qingxuan and marry a dozen or so wives. I won't have lived in vain." Save the world, save China? F * ck, wearing your underwear inside out, do you think you're a salted egg superman?
"Big Brother Lin, I've heard of the people with yellow hair and blue eyes you mentioned. Are they Europeans? Where is Europe? "Luo Ning continued to ask. What she wanted to ask was also what others wanted to ask.
This topic had been mentioned to Qing Xuan before. Because Qing Xuan had a teacher named New York, she understood immediately. However, Luo Ning didn't have such good luck as Xiao Qing Xuan. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Most of them are Europeans. Europe is very far away from us, and with our current level of ships, I'm afraid we can't reach Europe. But Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and other countries in Europe have developed industries. Their shipbuilding and smelting skills are very advanced. If we don't pay attention, China will suffer in the future. "
When Hou Yuebai heard this, he snorted and said, "Those are just some strange tricks and tricks. How can they compare to our Celestial Empire's wealth and treasures? Our land is filled with heroes and talented people, and there are countless of them."
F * ck you, you don't know shit. When Lin Wanrong heard this, he was furious and said, "What do you mean by obscene tricks? Young Master Hou, are you looking down on the countless ancestors of China? With your little bit of knowledge, how can a firefly compete with the bright moon? To say that you're worlds apart is flattering you. "
When Lin Wanrong said this, everyone was shocked. The women below the stage looked at this mysterious servant in disbelief. He actually looked down on this number one scholar? This was going to be a good show to watch.
