C416 accidental change (1/2)
At the pier of the Elbe River, a small sized scissor boat belonging to the Portugal was quietly waiting for their guests. The sailors and the captain were already stunned by the sight, even though they had done a lot of homework and read a lot of reports about the Chinese, they never thought that the prestige of these Chinese in Prussia would be so high.
The whole city was left empty as they saw off. The police and soldiers of the city were maintaining order, and the Prussian, who was famous for his strict and calm nature, cried without restraint today.
In the end, even the churches in the entire city began to ring the bell to send them off. With such a great reputation, even the king would be qualified to send them off.
The captain and the sailors took a furtive glance at the ladies who were standing at the bow of the ship. Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Hu Niu, Ping Er and the few maids that they brought with them from China did not follow the group as they walked through the streets of Hamburg. In the early morning, they had already secretly boarded the merchant ship.
At this time, Hu Niu was already in tears. On one hand, she was moved by her man, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to part with her sister Fang Guan.
”Fang Guan, are you really not coming back with me? Can you really get used to this foreign place? Don't forget, that Frenchman Pierre is coming back with us … ”
Fang Guan started to nod his head to wipe his tears. After hearing Pierre's name, his face turned red, ”Aiya, where does he go have anything to do with me? I stayed in Europe because I wanted to study opera. I really loved singing too much... ”
In order to nurture her, Xiao Letian had spent a huge sum of money to find the best vocal music teacher in the entire Prussia, and had also used her contacts to give her countless opportunities to perform on stage.
Xiao Letian definitely did not speak of giving Fang Guan freedom casually. He sincerely hoped that this talented girl would be able to walk his own path.
From a certain point of view, Xiao Letian, Fang Guan and the other women should be thanking the viscount of the Austria. If not for him uncovering this issue that everyone had ignored, even Xiao Letian would not have thought that she had neglected the new and rising power of the feminist world.
In the middle of the world, the feminist movement was a mere concept. Even the European world remained under the control of a patriarchal society, and the era in which feminism truly flourished was the Second World War.
Of course, Xiao Letian did not expect himself to gain any benefits from ingratiating himself with the feminists, but he would not intentionally avoid this question. Since his attitude towards women had already been noticed by the higher ups in Europe, he might as well go with the flow.
In the various public and private diplomatic gatherings that Xiao Letian participated in, his wife Hu Niu, the soprano Fang Guan, as well as the maid Ping Er and others had all become star figures beside him.
Although he was powerless to change the backward view of marriage in all of Asia, he would firmly support monogamous marriage through his own example. He would also give the women beside him a best future, and he, Xiao Letian, supported feminism.
Xiao Letian will do what he says. Didn't Fang Guan want to have an independent career? Didn't she want a life of self-choice? Xiao Letian could give it to her, but not only could he not be restrained, he had even given Fang Guan a very big assistant.
Not only did Xiao Letian's actions cause the elites of Europe to sigh in admiration, his name was even linked to the rise of feminism.
This was a great invisible power. If a man was loved and respected by all the women in the civilized world, although these women did not have any political power, their hidden power was too powerful.
He could foresee how great Xiao Letian's global reputation would become in the next half of his life after all the mothers of the whole world had told their children that 'Xiao Letian is a good person and a respectable Prime Minister'.
From a certain point of view, when Fang Guan accepted the freedom bestowed to her by Xiao Letian, she would no longer be able to return to his homeland.
They were in pain, the women held their heads and cried, until the last moment the King Yi was crying.
”Enough Hu Niu, don't cry... With me, Fang Guan will not suffer any losses. The entire Sino-German Fund is under my control, coupled with the close relationship between us and the higher ups of the Prussian Kingdom, I think we will be able to enjoy life here … ”
”On the contrary, you're the ones who make me worry …” King Yi let out a long sigh. The situation in the Ryukyu is not good, you will have to face more difficulties than me when you go back. The only thing I can do is protect the small assets of the Sino-German Foundation for you, and even if there is a chance in the future … We also have a way out! ”
King Yi really doesn't know how to speak, the girls are already crying, why are you still not opening the pot? When Fang Guan heard this, he suddenly burst into tears. ”Madam, I won't stay here any longer, I want to follow you home. I know that the French are attacking our home, even if I want to die, I will die together with my sisters …”
