Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1143 Mother-in-law wants to go to the East
The establishment of factories by Li Jinde and others in the city of London was on the right track. They recruited a group of British workers for simple Chinese communication training.Before the factory was built, they needed to make the British workers understand the most basic instructions.

It is a painful thing for these British workers to learn Chinese characters, a completely different language system, but Chinese businessmen are willing to pay them higher wages, so the hired workers are willing to receive training in the cold winter.

Li Jinde took advantage of the fact that the factory was not yet built, and Sir Greenville went to Devon County in the southwest to visit his mother-in-law.

Grace owns a large manor in Devonshire. Even after leaving Sir Greenville, she still lives well. She hires servants and hires farmers to plant the manor in order to collect land rent.

Li Jinde and Sir Greenville came from the direction of London in a large carriage, and the four-wheeled carriage was bumpy on the dirt road in the country.Because it is winter, there is snow in the fields.

"Grace has a stubborn temper, and she was very angry about Selina's stay in the East, so she returned to the manor where she lived when she was young. When you see her, please say something nice to me, and I will also Wanting to be reconciled to her... When I was young I married her half because I wanted to cling to her mayor father Smith, but half because I loved her," Sir Greenville said.

"I will speak properly." Li Jinde is used to bluntly speaking of his love and hatred for the British.

The four-wheeled carriage stopped at the gate of a large manor.Sir Greenville and Li Jinde in overcoats got off the carriage.

"Bring this to your master, she will be willing to see me." Sir Greenville handed the black and white photo of Selina to the servant of the manor.

"Okay, my lord, please wait a moment." The servant knew Sir Greenville and knew that he was the master, so he went to inform Grace.

Li Jinde stopped and stood on the periphery of the manor, observing the scenery of the manor in winter.The manor where Grace lives now occupies a very large area. There is a three-story stone castle building at the core of the manor. There is a main road leading to the stone castle building in the vast farmland.In addition to the crops there is a flock of sheep wandering the fence.

"It's really a vast manor. Being a nobleman in the countryside seems to be a good life." Seeing the scenery of the countryside, Li Jinde understood why the British gentry and nobles had such a big right to speak. They are the big and small landlords everywhere.In addition, the power of the king is not as concentrated as that of the Eastern monarchs, and the gentry and nobles are the emperors in the countryside.

"Maintaining a huge family fortune and holding extravagant banquets is not an easy task, and you have to find ways to gain the support of the common people to be elected as a member of parliament." Sir Greenville said.

While the two were waiting, the servant reported to the hostess Grace.

"I don't want to see that old guy. It was a wrong decision for him to let Sarina go to the East, and he left Selina in the East, so that we will never see each other!" Originally Grace The lady was reading by the fire, and her voice became a little hysterical when the servant said that Sir Greenville was asking for an audience.

"Sir Greenville asked me to give this to you, Madam." The servant presented a black and white photo to Madam Grace.

"What kind of strange thing is this piece of paper..." Mrs. Grace took the black and white photo handed over by the servant, and saw Selina holding a baby in the photo, she suddenly seemed to be a different person, "Let Greenville Come on that old guy!"

After a while, Sir Greenville and Li Jinde came in under the guidance of the servants. The firewood in the fireplace was burning, and the fire reflected on the faces of several people in the room, making the room very warm.Li Jinde caught a glimpse of a special bookshelf in the room filled with books.No wonder Selina is so thirsty for knowledge. She was born in such an aristocratic family. Even if she cannot enter Cambridge University or Oxford University as a woman, as long as she is willing to study, she can still acquire a lot of knowledge from the family's collection of books. Some nobles also have private teacher.

Sir Greenville took off his coat and hung it up, and broke the silence with a bitter face: "Grace, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

"Old guy, how did you get this painting? And what about the child in Selina's arms?" Grace Yang said that she had a black and white photo, but still regarded it as a painting .

"Look carefully at the man next to Selina above, and the young man I brought." Sir Greenville pointed at Li Jinde and said.

According to what Sir Greenville said, Mrs. Grace compared the man in the black-and-white photo with the oriental man who followed Sir Greenville, showing a surprised expression.

"You are..." Mrs. Grace realized that the man standing next to Selina in the photo was the one in front of her.

"I am Li Jinde, Sarina's husband, and I am deeply guilty of leaving Sarina in the East... At that time, Sir Greenville tried his best to bring Sarina back to Britain, but our Eastern Supreme Ruler came forward to take Sarina Lina stays, please don't blame Sir Greenville anymore." Li Jinde said.

When Mrs. Grace saw Li Jinde, the airborne son-in-law, she felt inexplicably complicated. She had a granddaughter before she knew it.

"Please sit down, I want to ask you about Selina." Mrs. Grace pointed to a wooden chair by the fireplace.

Mrs. Grace obviously loved her only daughter very much, and asked Li Jinde a lot about Selina's recent situation.Sir Greenville sat aside with a sad face.

"So...you are a big businessman in Huaxia, and you should be able to take good care of Sarina, so I can rest assured." Mrs. Grace knew that Sarina was safe and that Princess Sophia was also in the capital of Huaxia, so she slightly I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, Mrs. Grace, can you forgive Sir Greenville?" Li Jinde helped him speak well to Mrs. Grace as agreed with Sir Greenville.

"I don't want to forgive this old guy..." Mrs. Grace disliked Sir Greenville, but continued to talk to Li Jinde with a little interest: "You said this thing is called a photo, can it really record images? And trains , the new university hall, electric lights, so many magical things have appeared in the East... To be honest, I want to go to the East to see it, as well as my daughter and granddaughter, I am already a little tired of living alone in the countryside."

"Ahem, sailing on the sea is very dangerous, and there are dangerous sea areas such as the Cape of Storms..." Sir Greenville said.

"Shut up, old man!" shouted Mrs. Grace.
