Chapter 81 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China Sixteen(1/2)
Chapter 81 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China (16)
Gu Qingcheng is wearing complicated traditional clothes, with her hair in a bun with gold and silver hairpins.
Her image is that of a typical female family member of a conservative family during the Republic of China.
It just looks dull and decayed.
Beautiful, but not in keeping with the times.
However, Gu Qingcheng has a good temperament. She is not shy or timid like women of this era.
She stood tall and tall, raising her head confidently.
The whole person exudes arrogance and pride from the bottom of his heart.
Human temperament is really a wonderful thing.
The same clothing, worn on people of different temperaments, will have completely different effects.
Gu Qingcheng's body did not have bound feet, so there was no trembling feeling.
Coupled with Gu Qingcheng's noble temperament, she looks like a real lady, not some feudal country woman.
She ignored the persuasion of the two leading soldiers, took Li Yaozong's hand, and walked directly into the university hall.
"Hey! Ms. Gu!"
The two leading soldiers were a little anxious and wanted to catch up and stop him, but they didn't dare.
They could only carry their guns, huddle their backs, and quietly hide in the corner to watch.
"She doesn't know anything, that's why she's not afraid!"
"Hmph, she won't know how powerful she is until she is stopped by a foreigner or a foreign student and scolded!"
"That's right! Alas, this country woman has never traveled far, so she is quite courageous."
"You are indeed very brave. Even a timid woman would not dare to go to the Yamen to sue her husband."
The two of them folded their hands and leaned against the wall, looking at the situation at the school gate and talking disdainfully.
"It's coming! It's coming! Hey, look, someone really stopped her!"
"Oh, it's a red-haired one, he must be a foreign devil."
"Foreigners? Hey, we're in trouble this time. Not to mention our commander, even the governor doesn't dare to provoke them."
"Let me just say that this woman from the countryside is ignorant. She doesn't know anything, so she dares to break in. She will be kicked out later. She is afraid of-"
Before the man could finish speaking, his eyes widened.
Then, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking in disbelief.
God, is this a ghost in broad daylight?
How can those foreigners with their nostrils turned up in the air be so kind?
"Damn it, did you see that? That foreigner actually laughed."
"Oh, he seems to have said something."
"Hey, can Ms. Gu understand what he said?"
"You're so stupid, why don't you allow foreigners to speak our language?"
The two big-headed soldiers were far apart and could not hear what Gu Qingcheng and the foreigner said.
But they could see their expressions clearly.
The foreign man who should be arrogant and overbearing is smiling all over his face.
The country woman who should have been scolded and expelled calmly talked and laughed with the foreigners.
What kind of magical scene is this?
Are they dreaming?
Or were the foreigners they had met before, all fake foreigners?
Actually, foreigners are quite easy to talk to, right?
The two big-headed soldiers were so shocked that they almost doubted their lives.
"Thank you! Mr. Bayer, you are such a gentleman."
Gu Qingcheng thanked her politely.
"Madam, you speak D very well. If you want, you can come to our school to audit. Or, in the fall, you can come and apply!"
Mr. Bayer is a middle-aged man with reddish-brown hair and green eyes.
He looks about forty years old, tall and thin.
He has the unique rigor and solemnity of people from D country. At first glance, he seems not easy to get in touch with.
However, after talking to him, I found that he is very educated and helpful.
They just pay more attention to standards and procedures.
"Haha, that's right. People from D country are famous for being rigorous."
Huoshui, who was staying deep in the sea of consciousness, couldn't help but gossip again.
"Just like the romance of people from country F, the passion of people from country Y... they have become people's fixed impression."
"Country D is famous for its craftsmanship. Their cooking is like conducting scientific experiments. It is simply good news for obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"Besides, in this era, among the many foreign powers, the people of country D seem to be more friendly to flower growing."
"Many generals have attended the military academies of country D...and the ordnance of country D is the most advanced."
"Of course, this friendliness is relative. They occupied Qi Province."
In excitement, Huoshui began to ramble.
Gu Qingcheng has become accustomed to Huoshui's "divergent thinking", and she can always extract the information she needs from the nonsense of this little IQ.
“Country D’s ordnance is very advanced?”
Gu Qingcheng grasped this key point amid Huoshui's nonsense.
She silently kept this in mind.
"Mr. Bayer? Can I? Me, I haven't gone to the New School. I only studied at home for a few years, and I also learned a little D from Father Hans in the church!"
Gu Qingcheng concealed her emotions and pretended to be happy and said to Mr. Bayer.
"Of course! I think Ms. Gu is very smart!"
There was obvious appreciation in Mr. Bayer's eyes.
He has been in China for a few years and has met many smart students.
But this was the first time he met a woman like Gu Qingcheng——
Even though he is wearing the most complicated and traditional clothing in China, he is able to speak D language fluently.
And the kind of confidence and arrogance in her eyes is hard to see even in some so-called talented people.
Those people look proud on the surface, but deep down they really have low self-esteem.
They may not even realize that they have two faces when they face their own countrymen and foreigners.
He is arrogant internally and humble externally. His arrogant yet inferior face looks like a clown and is really ridiculous.
But the Ms. Gu in front of him gave him a different feeling.
Her pride and nobility seemed to be innate. From her, Mr. Bayer finally understood what the true beauty of the East is.
Neither humble nor arrogant, proud but well-educated. Every look and every movement conveys an indescribable charm.
Mr. Bayer thought, maybe this is the socialite of China, the real aristocrat.
Huoshui: ...Hey, you foreign devil is quite discerning.
Compared with the Gu family of Wu County, you so-called nobles are just like unevolved monkeys!
"Ms. Gu, if you are willing, I can issue you a hearing. You can come to the school first to observe."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Bayer. I wonder what I can do for you."
"Haha, no need. I have no other hobbies except buying horse racing tickets."
"Buy horse racing tickets?"
Gu Qingcheng was a little curious.
Through books, newspapers, and the misfortune of gossiping, she did have a relatively comprehensive understanding of this new world.
But there were still some details that she didn't know.
"Oh, it's just horse betting!"
Huoshui seemed to have found another opportunity and hurriedly jumped into the depths of Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness.
