Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 878 Bringing Back a Western Woman (Seventh Change)

When Princess Sofia was amazed by Fujian cuisine, Li Jinde took Sarina to his yard.

Although he said that he was not considered rich among Chinese merchants, in fact he was able to own his own ocean-going galleon, and his financial resources were among the best in Xiamen Bay, and he had more than one sailboat.

Because of the purchase restriction order issued by Chu Yun, Li Jinde could not own many houses, so he chose a relatively large yard, which made Selina feel that it was somewhat similar to the manors in Europe.

"Mother, I'm back." Li Jinde shouted towards the backyard after returning.

"You bastard, you left a letter and went to sea without saying a word. Do you know that your father often went to sea and was killed by pirates! I didn't come back for a year, I thought you were dead, and you killed me. Be sad for a while, see if I don’t beat you to death, you unfilial son!” A woman in her 40s came out of the backyard with a broom in her hand, and her voice came before anyone else arrived.

The woman saw Li Jinde who hadn't contacted him for a year. She was annoyed and happy, but when she saw Li Jinde brought a blonde woman back home, she was a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a while.

"If Dad didn't often go out to sea to do business in the past, our Li family was still farming in the countryside of Fuzhou, how could we have such a big fortune now? Didn't your son come back well..." Li Jinde said quickly.

"You..." Aunt Li dragged Li Jinde aside and stared at him, "Why did you kidnap a Western woman back! Mother has already engaged you, don't make it difficult for mother!"

"Mother, she is an aristocrat from the West. When she heard that the east was strong, she came to the east with the envoys of their kingdom to meet the military leader. Now she is only staying at our house for two or three days, two or three days. In the future, I may take them to Beijing to meet the military leader!" Li Jinde said.

"Oh, it's your honor to go to Beijing to meet the military leader..." Mrs. Li had heard a lot of legends about Chu Yun in the market, plus Chu Yun wiped out the pirate who killed her husband. It is to be grateful to Chu Yun.

"That's right, good mother, let her live in our house for two or three days." Seeing that his mother's tone was loose, Li Jinde hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Then let her stay for two or three days... But look at how she wears fancy clothes, it's really indecent. I still have a lot of clothes left when I was young, why don't you let her change them." Aunt Li looked at it. When I look at Selina's pannier, I always feel that it is not pleasing to the eye.

"Well, mother, she must fit the clothes you wore when you were young." Li Jinde said.

"Stop being so talkative." Aunt Li turned around to get her clothes.

After a while, Aunt Li took the green dress from her youth.

It was only at this time that Li Jinde discovered the tricky part. He only brought Selina home, but no one translated it for him...

"This..." Li Jinde pointed to the dress.

"What?" Seeing Li Jinde pointing at a piece of clothing, Selina didn't know what he meant.

"Go to the room and change a set of clothes." Li Jinde had no choice but to use body language to express, pointing at the room while doing the movement of changing clothes.

"You...pervert!" Selina slapped Li Jinde across the face. Seeing Li Jinde take off his clothes and pointing to the room, she thought Li Jinde wanted something...

"Why did you hit me?" Li Jinde was very innocent, how did he provoke her?
Aunt Li was not angry when she saw her son being beaten. Although she could not understand English, she immediately understood the reason.

This silly son, no wonder he can't find a wife yet.

Aunt Li snatched the skirt resentfully, and then gestured to Selina to come into the room together.

Soon Selina changed into the green skirt of a Han woman, and Selina was amazed at herself in the bronze mirror, as if she had changed into a different person.

"The little girl looks okay, but unfortunately she is a Western woman." Aunt Li looked at Selina in the green dress, and then tied her hair into a bun, feeling a little surprised.

Moreover, Selina is a nobleman. If she were placed in the Central Plains, she would be the child of a rich family, which made Aunt Li feel a little sorry.

Selina didn't realize Aunt Li's concern, but stood up and turned around half a circle, looking at her appearance in the bronze mirror, feeling more and more novel.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you." Selina, who had changed her clothes, came out and realized that she had misunderstood Li Jinde, so she apologized to him.

Li Jinde roughly knew that Selina was apologizing to him, so he waved his hand: "It's okay, it's because I didn't express myself well."

"Since there are guests at home, and you, a naughty son, are back, I will cook a good dish." Aunt Li became motivated when she saw a guest from afar.

"Mother, you won't really make an engagement for me while I'm out, will you?" Li Jinde couldn't help worrying when he thought of what Aunt Li had said to him.

"Of course it's true. The second girl from Tian next door, I think she has a plump figure, and she will definitely give birth to a fat boy in the future." Aunt Li said.

"Don't worry, she weighs 160 catties..." Li Jinde complained endlessly, "My dear mother, now that the military leader advocates free love, you'd better let me find it myself."

"Although the military leader is a strange person, the military leader is not necessarily right in everything. Since ancient times, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, you don't even listen to the words of the old lady? I have already made a vow, and people may disappear after you. I agreed to it all the time, what else are you dissatisfied with? My mother is looking forward to holding her grandson day and night." Aunt Li said.

"She weighs 160 kilograms, how could anyone not agree..." Li Jinde muttered.

"What are you mumbling about?" Aunt Li asked.

"It's nothing." Li Jinde was a little afraid of his old mother, thinking that he should take advantage of the opportunity to go to the capital and disappear for a while, and come back after the limelight of this matter has passed.

"I'm going to buy vegetables. You wait at home first, and I will definitely cook you a sumptuous meal." Aunt Li left after finishing speaking.

Alas, 160 catties... Li Jinde got a headache when he thought about it, and then he looked at Selina who was looking around curiously in the yard, the gap was so different.

"I finally understand why the military leader advocates free love." Li Jinde said to himself.

At the very least, the partner I choose, I can’t blame anyone if I regret it in the future, and once my parents arrange a partner who weighs 160 pounds, what will happen to my future life... Li Jinde sighed endlessly.

"Do you have any troubles?" Seeing Li Jinde sighing, Selina asked.

"..." Li Jinde still couldn't understand Selina's words, and his headache was even worse.In addition to the distressing matter of getting married, the language barrier here is also a difficult problem.
