save the bachelors

Chapter 4258 Chapter 4260 [Good intentions are rewarded]

The next day, after Xiang Nan finished his breakfast, he went to the first-class cabin and returned the clothes to Mrs. Brown.

"Thank you very much for your help, ma'am." He said with a smile.

"You're welcome, young man." Mrs. Brown waved her hand and smiled, "In fact, even if I didn't lend you the clothes, you wouldn't be rude to everyone, right?"

"Yes, but I am still very grateful for your kindness." Xiang Nan smiled, and then handed Mrs. Brown a small box, "This box contains a magic potion. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you are not dead at the time and have a breath, you can survive. Take three pills and you will be completely cured. I hope you can make good use of it."

Mrs. Brown was surprised when she heard this.

In the early 20th century, before the invention of antibiotics, people died easily. Even minor illnesses such as colds, typhoid fever, and dysentery could kill people.

The Spanish flu of 1918 killed 50 million people, which was even worse than the Black Death in the Middle Ages. The First World War ended hastily because of its prevalence.

Because each country lost a large number of people due to influenza, new soldiers could not be replenished in a timely manner.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the magic potion Xiang Nan gave her is a rare treasure.

"No, no, no, it's too precious, I can't accept it," Mrs. Brown refused.

Although these potions were precious, she was not a cheap person. It was just a small favor, and she could not accept such an expensive gift.

"You're welcome. I have plenty of this kind of potion. It's nothing to me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "So please accept it. This is a token of my appreciation."

"Okay, thank you." Mrs. Brown put the box away after hearing him say that.

……

After returning the clothes, Xiang Nan returned to the third-class deck and basked in the sun with Tommy.

Fabrizio and the girl Helda sat together and chatted.

They were also at the party last night, singing, dancing and drinking together, which made their relationship progress quickly.

I just don’t know if it will succeed in the end.

After all, one of them is from Italy and the other is from Norway, they speak different languages ​​and have even greater cultural differences.

What's more troublesome is that Heldar's parents don't seem to like Fabrizio.

This cast a shadow over their relationship.

But it doesn’t matter even if he breaks up. Xiang Nan believes that with Fabrizio’s charm, it won’t be difficult for him to find another suitable girl.

There are many Italian immigrants in the United States, and Fabrizio is young, handsome, charming, and enterprising, which makes him very attractive to girls.

"In two or three days, we will arrive in the United States. I can already smell the fragrance there." Tommy said with a smile.

Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

In that era, the United States was indeed a land of hope in people’s hearts and was known as the “City on the Hill.”

This title comes from the Bible, Matthew, "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden."

During America's Golden Age, the economy was indeed prosperous.

The salary of a blue-collar worker is enough to support a family of four, allow them to live in a villa, buy a car, and use a TV, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, etc.

The mother can take care of the children full-time and prepare a very sumptuous dinner, including bread, butter, cheese, steak, chicken, sausage...

Tommy is Irish. In the middle of the last century, there was a terrible famine in Ireland, which caused more than one million people to starve to death. As a result, the Irish immigrated to the United States in large numbers in order to survive.

Just like in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there were frequent floods and droughts in Qi and Lu, which led to a large number of people from Qi and Lu violating the imperial ban and bravely going to Guandong to make a living.

Although there is no great famine in Ireland today, the memory of hunger has been engraved in the genes and culture of the Irish.

  So for Tommy, immigrating to the United States was not just about getting rich, but also about getting away from hunger and the rule of the British (Ireland did not become independent until 1922).

Therefore he was more excited than others.

……

At this moment, someone laughed and said, "Mr. Dawson, we are going to worship. I wonder if you are interested in joining us in the prayer."

Xiang Nan looked up and saw Astor IV, Mr. Guggenheim, Mr. Strauss, the ship's director Ismay and others in the first class cabin.

Seeing them coming, everyone present was startled.

These were all important people in the first class cabin. Even though they didn't know them, it didn't stop them from recognizing them.

It was really strange that these big shots invited Xiang Nan to attend their worship service so intimately.

You have to know that birds of a feather flock together. Different classes and backgrounds completely separate them.

The first-class nobles would not associate with the peasants, and the peasants would not associate with the first-class nobles.

So what happened now surprised everyone present.

"I'm sorry, I'm a believer in the God of Love, I don't believe in Jesus." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

"Okay." After hearing what he said, Astor IV and others nodded, "Then can you come to our lunch party?"

"No, I'll just eat in the third-class restaurant." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it. I will leave after I get off the ship, and we won't meet again."

Hearing him say this, Astor IV, Mr. Guggenheim, Mr. Strauss and others were all very disappointed.

Xiang Nan is the only person with superpowers they have met. Apart from other things, the "prophecy" alone is shocking.

He can predict people's destiny and the development of things. In legends, he is praised as a "prophet", "sage" and "prophet", which is equivalent to a god-like existence, such as Prometheus, Elisha, Isaiah and so on.

Moreover, people who do business all know the famous saying that "knowing in advance is more valuable than money". If Xiang Nan could make a prediction for them and let them know the business opportunities in advance, then it would be easy to make more than one or two million dollars, but one or two million dollars.

So they really hoped that Xiang Nan would stay and help them. But now looking at Xiang Nan's expression, it was clear that he had made up his mind and had little interest, so they could only sigh in despair.

"Okay, Mr. Dawson, we won't bother you anymore." The few of them had no choice but to nod, then turned around and left in disappointment.

……

"Hey, man, why are all those people in the first class coming to see you?" Tommy asked in surprise.

Those people were obviously important figures, either rich or noble. The clothes they wore were probably worth ten years of his salary. Such people were so polite to Xiang Nan, which really puzzled him.

"Who knows, maybe they think I'm handsome." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

When Tommy heard him say this, it was obvious that he didn't believe it.

No matter how handsome Xiang Nan is, she is not a woman. What use is she to these old men?

But Xiang Nan's answer clearly showed that he didn't want to tell the truth, and he had no way of pressing him further.

"Jack, who is the god of love? Is it the Venus in our Roman mythology?" Fabrizio asked curiously.
