Meng Shaoyuan basically belongs to the kind of guy who knows nothing about art.

But even so, he also knew the preciousness of "Ode to Become a Master".

A true national treasure.

Moreover, it is in You Yuecheng's hands.

So, there is one question left.

"Tork, why do you know Chinese? Why do you know 'Ode to the Master'?"

"During the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, my father was a major in the United Kingdom." Toker no longer concealed: "He brought many cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings back to China, and then he quickly chose to retire and began to concentrate on studying and collecting these calligraphy and paintings.

Antiques, and he was convinced that there were more Chinese antiques, calligraphy and paintings floating around in Europe, so he began to concentrate on studying Chinese culture and history."

Under such influence, Tuoke not only learned a lot of knowledge about Chinese antiques, calligraphy and painting, but also learned Chinese.

He chose the "Cambria Breaker" because he knew that this ship often went to China, which would give him more opportunities to contact China.

Captain Schiller suddenly understood when he heard this.

No wonder, every time he arrived at a Chinese port for repairs and supplies, Trafigura would always take a few days off, and then come back with a lot of "junk" that was worthless in Captain Schiller's eyes.

Are those Chinese antiques?

"That day, the refugees boarded the ship." Tok said everything: "When I was in charge of dispatching, I heard the conversation between You and his father. They were at the end of the refugee list, and they should have thought that I couldn't understand Chinese. I listened

Daoyou's father said to him, 'You don't have to give up anything, but you must hide the song of discipleship on your body, because it is more important than our lives'."

Of course Tok knew what "Ode to the Master" was. When he heard the name, he was ecstatic. As long as he could get this priceless calligraphy, then his many trips to China would be perfect.

So he devised this plan to wrongly accuse You Yuecheng, lock up the father and his son, expel them at a certain port, and then seize the opportunity to seize their luggage.

If you are more cruel, you can follow the rules on the ship and throw him and his son directly into the Yangtze River.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly asked: "Tuoke, those antiques you bought from China several times, after returning home, I'm afraid you will find that they are all fake, right?"

Tok was startled: "How did you know?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and did not answer.

Although this person has knowledge of Chinese cultural relics and antiques and understands the Chinese language, he is not very bright-minded. He designed such a scheme. If you look closely, you will find that it is full of flaws.

He probably hid those two bottles of wine because he was greedy.

How can such a brain not be deceived by those shrewd antique dealers?

But the unexpected gain this time was Su Yao.

Su Yao's reaction and judgment are really too fast.

With just a few words, he knew that You Yuecheng was wrongly accused.

Keep her by your side, it will be useful.

"Shame, this is the shame of the Cambria Breaker." Captain Schiller was very angry: "On my ship, my first mate actually committed such a despicable act. You have tarnished the reputation of the entire ship.

Mr. You, I must apologize to you. Mr. Meng, I will give you a reasonable explanation on how to deal with Trafigura, please believe me."

"Increase the daily supply of food and fresh water for the people in the cabin, and replenish meat." Meng Shaoyuan would never let go of such an opportunity: "Also, leave Trafigura to me."

"Leave it to you?" Captain Schiller was startled.

"Yes, leave it to me." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "He has tarnished the reputation of the Chinese people, so will I keep him by my side to atone for his sins until his sins are atonement? This period will not exceed eight

Year."

Tok has a dark heart.

Tok wants to hack "Ode to the Master".

However, he is a crew member, understands Chinese, and is British.

The most important thing is that his mind is not very bright.

All of this is worth utilizing.

Everyone in this world is valuable in Meng Shaoyuan's eyes.

What else? Expel Trafigura?

But this does no good to Meng Shaoyuan.

Master Meng will never do anything that is not beneficial.

Waste has its use value.

As for why eight years?

There is only one person in the whole world who knows it best, Master Meng.

"Tok!" Captain Schiller lowered his gaze on Tok: "Are you willing to accept it?"

"Yes." Tok answered with some difficulty, but at this level, what else could he do?

"Listen, Tok, this is your only chance to atone." Captain Schiller said sternly: "You must swear allegiance to Meng, and you must regard him as your only loyal object in the next eight years. If you let me

Knowing that you continue to be unfaithful, I will announce your evil deeds to the Seamen's Union, so that you and your family will be ridiculed everywhere in the UK."

This is a very serious warning.

Tok lowered his head and said: "Yes, Mr. Meng, I swear allegiance to you. I will try my best to wash away my shame, but please protect my reputation no matter what."

These British people are really strange.

Meng Shaoyuan was still happy to accept it.

A small storm dissipated.

Although Meng Shaoyuan wanted to open his eyes as to what kind of treasure the so-called "Ode to Become a Master" was, the You family and his son regarded this word as a treasure and would never show it to others easily.

My heart feels itchy and uncomfortable.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it.

"Su Yao."

"Mr. Meng."

"You are very smart."

Meng Shaoyuan did not hesitate to praise this girl: "I could see through it at a glance that this was a frame-up, and I decisively pointed out that Tuoke was the one who set up the trap. You are only sixteen years old this year, and you have a great future."

Sixteen years old? Sixteen is not too young to get married.

Su Yao, who was not timid in front of foreigners, blushed at this moment: "Mr. Meng has gone too far. Su Yao is just making random guesses."

"Don't forget Mr. Meng, it's too strange." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "Your parents are stranded in Nanjing. We originally thought that this ship would go to Wuhan, but in fact we went straight to Sichuan.

When you get there, do you have any relatives you can rely on?"

When Su Yao mentioned her parents, her eyes turned red and she shook her head silently.

Sichuan is such a distant place, and she never thought she would go there.

What about your parents? After your parents come out of Nanjing, what should you do if you go to Wuhan to look for them and you can’t find them?

"Don't worry. If your parents leave Nanjing safely, I will send someone to contact them and inform them that you are in Sichuan." At this point, Meng Shaoyuan could only comfort him like this, although he knew that the chance of Su Yao's parents leaving Nanjing alive was really too low.

At a loss: "I will settle you down when you get to Sichuan. Since you have no relatives in Sichuan, I will be your relative."

"Thank you, Meng...Brother Shaoyuan."

Brother Shao Yuan?

Dear relatives, there is no need for brothers and sisters.

This is my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law, Chai Lie... and so on.

Stop it, stop it.

Meng Shaoyuan found out why his current thoughts were so dirty?

Why is it that when I see a beautiful woman, I just have wild thoughts?

I am no longer a stallion.

Rogue, despicable, shameless!

Meng Shaoyuan blamed himself hard and kept telling himself to be a gentleman. He was a sixteen-year-old girl and her parents were unknown, so it was inappropriate for her to think so wildly.

Although Su Yao looks pure and lovely, especially her eyes, she is particularly charming at a young age...

Bah! Why are you thinking about this again?

Meng Shaoyuan's contempt for himself in his heart was simply beyond reach!

…

Don't tell me, the more you don't think about many things, the more they will come to your door.

Just after returning to the cabin to rest, a crew member said that the You family and his son wanted to see him.

Meng Shaoyuan was originally curious about the "Ode to Become a Master". When he heard it, how could he not see the truth?
