In this era, there were no entertainment facilities on long-distance seagoing ships. Everything was aimed at carrying as much cargo as possible, and even the living conditions of the personnel were squeezed to the minimum. For example, the Dutch, known as "sea coachmen", were the most

The height of the compartment below the deck of the commonly used "Fruit Sailboat" is only 1.5 meters! Using this height, you can set up as many decks as possible in the cabin to accommodate more supplies. As for the movement of people inside, either bend down or bend down.

Or crawl, shipowners and cargo owners don't care how the sailors live inside, as long as people can survive.

Although the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were not that exaggerated, they were not much better. Therefore, those who traveled by sea had long been accustomed to spending this hard and boring time on the ship. If Guo Yi and Lin Hanlong hadn't invited them to the Princess

Wandering around for recreation, they never imagined that traveling on the sea could be so luxurious! Although in the eyes of modern people, the Princess still has some inherent shortcomings - for example, there is no way to install a swimming pool, and the hull is still too large.

It is small, and the bumps are still violent when encountering strong winds and waves...etc. But for those Ming Dynasty bumpkins, everything on this big ship is comparable to the mansions of princes, princes, and grandsons.

These people soon became regular guests on the Princess, and it was much more comfortable to spend this time at sea here than in other places. Hu Wen, Guo Yilin, Hanlong and others were also happy to see this happen - they were already

I hope to use this to build more relationships with the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty. The journey is boring, and the scope of activities on the ship is small. Even those who are the most difficult to get along with and the least easy to get along with have to put down their dignity here.

Bring out your kinder and gentler side when socializing with people - unless you are willing to go back to those dark and narrow wooden cabins where you have to be careful about bumping your head when you stand up.

Next to the restaurant lobby, there are several separate small halls, which are used as private rooms during meals and as chess and card activity rooms at ordinary times. Since the halls are now basically occupied by locals from the Ming Dynasty, the modern people in the team heading north

Among them, some are willing to interact with people from the Ming Dynasty as much as possible in order to integrate into this era as soon as possible. But there are also those who look down on those Ming Dynasty bumpkins and are too lazy to deal with them. They usually gather in small rooms to play by themselves.

In addition, there are the lesbians on the ship. They now have to go to the restaurant as little as possible, and even have to stagger their meal times with the guests. There is no way, there is no taboo among modern people, but those who come on the ship as guests

Most of the gentry in the Ming Dynasty were old-fashioned and would look very embarrassed when seeing a woman in the hall. Although modern people don't need to worry too much about their emotions, as hosts, they have to be accommodating to their guests.

So now, outside the main hall, there is another smaller chess and card room where the largest number of travelers gather. Everyone likes to gather here when they have nothing to do, playing cards and chess, shouting and drinking, and having a great time.

This day was the same. In this small small room, on one side of the area where there were more boys, a group of people were having fun: "Big ghost!" "Bomb!" "Flow Flush!" "Don't even think about leaving! Six heads sealed.

I’m going to kill you!” and other shouts, which echoed with the snapping sound of poker cards being thrown on the table. Looking at the posture where almost everyone’s face was covered with white paper, it was obvious that this fierce battle had been going on.

It took quite a while.

At the girls' table next door, it was much quieter, but the atmosphere was definitely not relaxed - there were four people at the table. Zhu Yueyue and Su Muxue had already folded their cards and were watching Anna and Wang Jiaojiao glaring at each other with interest.

Four cards were spread out in front of them, with two pairs on one side and three with one on the other, and each of them held a hole card in their hands. Seeing how confident they were, it was obvious that they both had deep confidence in their hole cards——

Of course it could be a bluff.

Wang Jiaojiao looked at the cards in her hand again, smiled and pushed half of the chips in front of her out - compared to the boring bunch next door who just had stickers on their wins and losses. The ladies' table was much more practical: neatly arranged on the table.

There were a lot of shiny silver coins placed as chips. It was Qiong Haijun who had specially minted them this time and planned to bring them to the capital as samples and for promotion. Everyone got some, which was just right for gambling equipment.

Anna looked at the pile of silver coins and frowned. Of course, the money was not much to her, but using it all as a bet for a play seemed a bit excessive. Wang Jiaojiao on the other side didn't care, as one hundred and thirty

One of the nine people, she enjoys the highest dividend ratio. Money is really just a number to her. Anna's money comes from the salary and bonuses from participating in the operation of the trading company. Although the amount is also large, it is enough to support her.

Her daily consumption can be called luxurious. But after all, it is her own hard-earned money, so she still needs to consider spending it on gambling.

Seeing her hesitation, Wang Jiaojiao smiled even sweeter. She waved her hand, and Assistant Wu beside her immediately handed over a cocktail knowingly. Wang Jiaojiao took a sip gracefully, showing off her new clothes intentionally or unintentionally.

The tribute brocade cheongsam. Behind Anna, the loyal maid also quickly brought the hostess a cup of coffee...

The hint of confrontation made the two gossip girls Zhu Yueyue and Su Muxue who had withdrawn from the card game watch with gusto - their net worth is actually no worse than those two, but these two girls are the kind of Xiaojiabiyu.

Personality, no matter how hard they try, they can't bring out the powerful aura of the two queens on the stage... Now they even bring servants when they play cards!

At this time Anna smiled and finally said:

"The clothes are very nice. I will make one again later."

"You have such a good figure that you can't wear it. Only yellow people can wear cheongsam."

Wang Jiaojiao responded with pride. Seeing that Anna was still hesitating, she impatiently pushed out the remaining half of the chips in front of her - Stud!

"Are you still following? In the final analysis, this kind of game is all about capital. The one with the bigger capital will eat the smaller one. Only when you can afford to lose can you win."

Anna bit her lip and looked at the cards again - she had two pairs, one large and one small, while the opponent had three medium cards and one miscellaneous card. The opponent had a slight advantage on the card. But she could make up the difference with her own cards.

The junior and the junior, if Wang Jiaojiao doesn't have four cards, he can win.

But does she have it? Nothing can be seen from her attitude. That woman is used to putting on airs, and Anna herself is very good at it. So the key to the problem is really as Wang Jiaojiao said: In the end, it depends on the capital: as long as you are not afraid of losing

, then I dare to bet.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a burst of hearty laughter from behind:

"Don't be afraid. Follow me. If you lose, it's all mine."

Looking back, it was Mr. Jack Henderson who came to cheer for his wife. At this moment, Mrs. Henderson felt happy, but she deliberately said harshly:

"I don't need your money."

——Anna usually has a lot of contact with people like Hu Wen and Julie, and the most common sentence she hears is: if a woman wants to have a status in the family, she must be financially independent. So Anna has been earning a large salary from a trading company.

After that, Old Jack's money was never used again.

Jack was well aware of his wife's petty thoughts. He smiled, lowered his head, and kissed the back of her hand:

"Oh, dear. Sometimes, it is necessary for women to squander some property on behalf of their husbands to prove to the outside world that the man's financial situation is relatively comfortable and he can support a wealthy and decent family - kind man

Mrs. Dessen, may I be lucky enough to have this opportunity to show off to the outside world?"

So Anna couldn't help but laugh. She raised her head high and pushed out all the chips in front of her like a proud swan - a woman's glory really needs to be set off by a man.

"Well, dear Mr. Henderson, I'll give you this chance—I'll take it."

Anna showed her trump card. Three with two, and Wang Jiaojiao could only show her card: it was just another miscellaneous card, so she lost without a doubt. The double victory made Anna feel more and more happy, but she still couldn't

Satisfaction - women are often the most greedy at this time.

She looked at the pile of silver coins and said with a smile:

"Just right, I can use them to make a cheongsam, the most expensive kind - and then hang it on the wall as a decoration."

She was not facing anyone when she said this, and it sounded like she was talking to herself. Others would only take it as talking to herself - Wang Jiaojiao said nothing. She turned her head with a pale face.

Asked Assistant Wu:

"Where's sir?"

Assistant Wu, who was born in the Ming Dynasty Palace, was very discerning and would never do anything to displease his employer at this time. He immediately lowered his eyebrows and said:

"It seems that they are still on duty at the observation platform outside."

——Comrade Li Qihan, a man from the Wang family, as a meteorological professional, naturally assumes the responsibility of chief observer in the fleet. He usually works with sextants, theodolite and other things on the deck of the ship. And this guy seems to be very happy.

Among them, I stayed there all day long, and I didn't know how to be lazy occasionally - for example, like a ship's doctor, he wandered around when he had nothing to do, including going to the entertainment room to support his wife... Poor Li Qihan

I didn’t know that even when I was working hard, my wife would write me down for no reason. A man with a science degree really couldn’t afford to be hurt.

But at this moment, Wang Jiaojiao didn't say anything else - losing her temper at this time was just a joke for the opponent. As an elite in the gossip battlefield, she would not make such a stupid mistake.

But neither the proud Anna nor the depressed Wang Jiaojiao noticed that there were two other unlucky ghosts who were innocently affected in this battle of queens - Su Muxue and Zhu Yueyue were watching.

When Jack and Anna held hands and stared at each other lovingly, raging anger burst out in their eyes at the same time:

"Show affection?"

"Split it quickly!"

These two unmarried women, who have always been treated as little transparent backgrounds, looked at each other, their eyes filled with the same hatred and hatred. Of course, the effect of the crow's mouth of the two saints was immediate - first there was the sound of "dang dang" alarm bells outside.

.Afterwards, the door to the entertainment room was pushed open with a bang, and Fleet Commander Wen Desi, who almost never set foot on the Princess, burst in with a weathered look:

"Emergency! Everyone, please suspend the entertainment, we need to convene an emergency meeting immediately!"

Then he turned his head and caught a glimpse of Jack and Anna, a loving couple who still had their fingers intertwined:

"Ah, Mrs. Henderson, are you there? That's just right - I apologize to you, we need to borrow your husband for a while - Dr. Jack, please prepare the surgical instruments quickly, you have to go to Liaodong with us
