The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 5
A person came out suddenly and said something he couldn't understand at all. When Xu Dashun was about to reprimand him,
Nick on the side was visibly stunned, and soon, with an excited look on his face, he crossed himself and said solemnly: "May God bless you, Amen"

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the two exchanged happily.

speaks English.

Xu Dashun looked at Lu Changle in surprise, then turned his attention to the old patriarch,
Yi said it so well, when did the Fuzhou Lu family have such a number one figure?
The second uncle, the old patriarch and others also looked confused,
They didn't know that Lu Changle would suddenly speak barbarian words,

When will this Lu Changle, who is nothing, talk nonsense?
Through exchanges, I learned that Nick was from Portugal and was appointed by the Holy See to preach in Daming.

Buddhism and Taoism are deeply rooted in China, and the progress of missionary work is slow. Nick is very anxious.
I heard that many people in Xingping Village were injured, so I immediately brought people here to look for opportunities to preach,

The translator and assistant fell off the horse on the road and sprained his leg. He advised Nick to go to Xingping Village later.
Nick was eager to preach, so he rushed over alone.

Because Da Ming who knows the language doesn't speak much, and the communication is not smooth, he is regarded as a bad person by the Lu clan.

As for Xu Changshun and the others, it is estimated that the assistants went to the county government to find them because they were afraid that something might happen to Nick.

After a brief chat, Lu Changle turned to Xu Dashun and said, "Xu Butou, this matter is a misunderstanding. Mr. Ni decided not to pursue the matter just now, and will stay to heal the wounded. gone."

Lu Changle told Nick that if the government was disturbed because of this incident, it would not only hurt people's impression of Protestantism, but also make the people disgusted with Protestantism.

From now on, the common people will keep him at a respectful distance, which is very detrimental to preaching.
When Nick heard this, he immediately decided to forgive these people who hadn't bathed in the divine light.

Misunderstand?never mind?

Talking so well?
Xu Dashun looked at Nick with some disbelief, and Nick said with a smile: "Yes, I misunderstood, we are friends."

"They are disrespectful to the young master. If Zongbing Zheng finds out, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to you."

Nick opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak in a hurry, so he turned his head and said a few words in English to Lu Changle.

Lu Changle nodded, and said to Xu Dashun with a smile: "Xu Butou, Mr. Ni, he will explain this matter to you. If you insist on arresting him, he will complain to Zongbing Zheng, saying that you obstructed him." Mission."

Xu Dashun was taken aback, and said to Lu Changle with a smile on his face: "I'll leave now, I'll leave now, I'm going to bother Mr. Lu, and say a few more good words for Mr. Ni's face, please."

After speaking, he gave Lu Changle a salute.

I don't know what the two of them were talking about, but Nick obviously trusted Lu Changle very much.

Nick is Zheng Zongbing's guest, if he casually says something bad about himself in front of Zheng Zongbing,
The head will fall to the ground, maybe the family members will also be implicated,

There is no other way but to give in to Lu Changle.

Lu Changwei on the side opened his mouth wide in surprise, he could stuff two eggs into it:

Just now Xu Dashun, who had a face full of righteousness and arrogance,
The second uncle and the old patriarch couldn't handle it,
Now showing affection to Lu Changle like a grandson, I can't believe my eyes anymore.

Lu Changle replied with a smile: "Xu Putou, don't worry, I will explain clearly to Mr. Ni."

Xu Dashun heaved a sigh of relief, thanked him again and again, and then left with his men in despair.

He also wanted to find an opportunity to hit Lu's bamboo pole hard, but he almost put himself in it.

After Xu Dashun left, Nick also treated the injured clansman smoothly.

Through communication, I learned that Nick is an excellent surgeon,

After Lu Changle explained to the old patriarch and second uncle, the two did not stop them.

Nick went to treat the wounded. The second uncle looked Lu Changle up and down, and asked with some doubts:

"Changle, you talked to that barbarian just now, and it seems that you spoke quite slickly, when did you say such nonsense?"

It feels like after Changle was injured, he seemed to be a different person.

Not only take the initiative to fight, but also communicate with barbarians.

People also become confident and cheerful.

The old patriarch and the onlookers also looked at Lu Changle with interest.

Who would have expected a guy who can't do anything, eats and waits to die,

At the critical moment, he helped the Fuzhou Lu family escape.

In the prison of the county government, those officials didn't beat the Lu family to their bones?
Lu Changle had already thought of a countermeasure, and quickly explained: "I was restless for a while, and I ran to the city a lot, and I accidentally met a barbarian who was proficient in Daming dialect, and I learned a few words from him every time I went back and forth. It came in handy and made the second uncle laugh."

"So that's the case, but it's not in vain." The second uncle was relieved.

Fuzhou is an important export port of Ming Dynasty, and there are frequent exchanges between barbarian merchants. In order to do business better, some barbarian merchants go to the countryside to learn the language of Ming Dynasty.

The bastard didn't learn well for a while, but he didn't expect to learn the barbaric language by hitting the wrong way.

The kind of reading is different, and you can learn everything quickly.

The old patriarch looked at Lu Changle, nodded and said, "It's good that Yi Duo doesn't overwhelm you..."

The second uncle said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, brother Le is here, otherwise this trouble will be big."

Speaking of this, the second uncle pointed at Lu Changwei and reprimanded him: "Brother Wei, how many times have you been told by your violent temper, don't throw your fist at every turn, if it weren't for Brother Changle, I don't know how big a beetle you would have stabbed, Still haven't thanked you Brother Changle?"

Thinking of the Golden Armor badge, my second uncle was afraid that Xingping Village might become the second Hongshu Village.

"This..." Lu Changwei hesitated.

It feels weird to say thank you to the person I despise the most,

Just now, he taunted Lu Changle loudly in public, but he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.

"Why, you haven't woken up yet?" Second Uncle glared, his face obviously dissatisfied.

Lu Changwei was taken aback, gritted his teeth, and said to Lu Changle: "Brother Changle, thank you this time."

"It's all from my family, thank you, listen to my second uncle, use your brain more when doing things in the future, and think twice before acting," Lu Changle said earnestly.

Scolding myself for being brainless in disguise?

Lu Changwei blushed and clenched his fists. When he saw the displeased second uncle, the old patriarch and Zhushou also stared at him, suppressing his sullenness, lowered his head and whispered: "Yes, Brother Xie Le taught. "

Just now he scolded Lu Changle for being stronger than a dog, but now he is being treated like a grandson by Lu Changle,
Didn't he say that he was worse than a dog?
Lu Changwei felt as if his mouth was slapped in public, and his face was swollen from the slap.

I wish there was a crack in the ground, and I plunged into it myself.

The old patriarch waved his hand and said, "It's all right, let's all get busy and continue the meeting."

After all, he walked back slowly with his hands behind his back.

The second uncle stopped Lu Changle and gave some instructions, mainly to keep an eye on that Nick, and then went into the ancestral hall to continue the meeting.

The fight for the ring three days later is related to the prosperity of the Lu family in Fuzhou.

That's the top priority.

When Lu Changle found Nick, he saw that Nick was quickly healing a shoulder injury of a clansman.

Cleaning up the wound, applying medicine, bandaging, the movements are very skillful,
Nick wasn't lying, he was an excellent surgeon.

It happened that Nick was not communicating well with a member of the tribe, so Lu Changle walked over in time,

While translating, help Nick at the same time,
Lu Changle also took this opportunity to ask Nick about what happened in the world outside Daming,
After working for less than half an hour, another translator of Nick arrived, and Lu Changle also took the opportunity to leave.

Missionaries are different in Ming Dynasty, maybe they will be liquidated that day,

Nick is just an ordinary missionary, but he has Zheng Zhilong's golden armor in his hand.
What is the relationship between him and Zheng Zhilong, no one knows,
Maybe it's Zheng Zhilong's spy,
After finding out what you want to know, it is best to keep a certain distance from him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Changle went straight home.

Back to the home in my memory, the rammed-earth house has been in disrepair for a long time, the walls are dusty, potholes, and the broken roof is only covered with thatch.

The only furniture was a set of dilapidated tables and chairs that creaked when they sat on them.

As soon as the rice jar was opened, there was a musty smell, and when I looked down, it was empty.

I couldn't find anything to eat in the house. After searching for a long time, I only found two sets of worthless old clothes and twelve copper coins in the corner.

In this family, the mouse would starve to death, and the thief would shake his head when he saw it.

If I stopped learning rice, I would starve to death.

It seems that not only to restore reputation and get ahead as soon as possible, but also to solve the problem of money.

Money is not everything, without money, it is absolutely impossible at any time.

Making money and restoring reputation is tomorrow's business, and Lu Changle found that there is a very urgent matter to solve, eating.

I haven't eaten for most of the day, and my stomach is growling with hunger.

The preparation of meals in the family was delayed by that Nick,

It must be gone by now.
Make a fire for yourself?Lu Changle thought he was not qualified enough.

Just when Lu Changle was depressed, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother Changle, is Brother Changle at home?"

Lu Changle responded, and went out to see, it turned out to be a thin monkey.

Thin Monkey's name is Lu Changxing, the son of Mrs. Qiao, and he is only 15 years old this year.

Qiao's wife's husband secretly went fishing three years ago in order to subsidize the family, but he did not expect to meet a patrol boat from the Dinghai Institute.

How could ordinary people have the pennant of the Zheng family, and they were shot to death on the spot by the officers and soldiers.

The lack of a pillar in the family made the already difficult life even worse. When growing up, Lu Changxing did not have enough nutrition. Lu Changxing was short and thin, so he got the nickname "Skinny Monkey".

"Brother Changle, I'll give you this bowl of Tiaotiao fish soup." The thin monkey put a bowl of fish soup in front of Lu Changle with both hands.

A fresh smell of fish came to the nostrils, and Lu Changle couldn't help swallowing.

"Skinny Monkey, I'm not hungry, you can eat." Lu Changle hesitated, then quickly shook his head.

There is no pillar in the family, and the life of Mrs. Qiao's family is not easy.

"Brother Changle, you are injured, and the jumping fish soup is just for you." The thin monkey said seriously.

"It's all from my own family. Brother Changle, don't push it away. Besides, I caught this jumping fish and it doesn't cost money."

Lu Changle thanked him, took the porcelain bowl, and asked casually, "Skinny Monkey, when did you go fishing?"

Speaking of this, it's not good to push it any further, Lu Changle is really hungry.

When I become prosperous, I must repay their mother and son well.
