Chapter 103: Plan to return to the country, the two women have a heart-to-heart talk
Li Qiwei didn’t know how shocking the news that he was awarded by the King of Sweden was to those who were interested.
Thousands of miles away in the Qing Dynasty, his name has spread all over the country.
After suffering so many consecutive defeats, the Qing Dynasty's status in the world plummeted, and even the people were extremely aggrieved.
Now, his deeds are inspiring countless passionate young people. When the time is right, he can respond to a hundred responses in a mighty way.
As New Year approaches in the Western calendar, Li Qiwei has been going to the laboratory less often recently.
Because Thomson asked everyone in the laboratory to adjust their time appropriately to prepare for the arrival of Christmas.
In the West, Christmas is more important than New Year's Day, almost equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.
It is a legal holiday in Western countries.
Everyone from princes and nobles to common people will hold banquets and exchange gifts on December 25th.
There is also a mysterious Santa Claus who brings all kinds of novel gifts to the children in unexpected ways.
The country will also hold a grand celebration ceremony, and the whole people will revel together.
As for the evening of December 24th, it is called Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Eve, families will get together in advance to hold celebrations, singing, dancing, telling stories, etc.
Now, Li Qiwei also followed the local customs and prepared rich delicacies for everyone on Christmas Eve.
Not British food, but various Chinese delicacies that he and Xiang Lan cooked together.
Li Qiwei's move shocked Xianglan, "Master, when did you learn to cook?"
In her impression, her master couldn't distinguish between grains, so why? Probably so proficient at cooking over a fire.
Li Qiwei scraped off her nose and said with a smile: "I learned it secretly. I really can't stand the standard of British food. It feels that it is not as good as ours during the Tang Dynasty."
Especially that The famous British dish "Stargazing Pie" left an indelible psychological shadow on him.
I really don’t know why Britain is so developed but the food it cooks is so unpalatable. The oral tolerance of foreign devils is really strong
Li Qiwei lived in a deluxe single room in his previous life and even had a kitchen. He usually just stayed by himself when he had nothing to do. When you cook, you will naturally develop good cooking skills.
When Li Qiwei and Xiang Lan served various dishes, everyone immediately exclaimed.
Wang Luyao couldn't believe it and questioned: "Wow, brother Qiwei, did you do all this? Xianglan didn't help you."
Li Qiwei smiled Without saying anything, Xianglan quickly explained: "Sister Lu Yao, the young master did all this alone, I just gave him a hand."
Wang Luyao's eyes shone and he said immediately: "That's great. Brother Qiwei can cook for me every day from now on."
Everyone who said this laughed.
After Li Qiwei sat down, he glanced at everyone, Wang Luyao, Xiang Lan, Li San, He Yujie, Xia Yuanzhen, and Xu Qitai.
He had mixed feelings in his heart. Each of them was willing to stay with him because they trusted him.
Even though I need to be separated from my family and suffer from lovesickness, I still have no regrets.
Thinking of this, he was particularly moved, and a warm current passed through his chest.
Li Qiwei raised his glass and looked at several people in turn, full of pride: "Come, let us raise our glasses together and replace the Spring Festival with a foreigner's Christmas."
"Hopefully next year Everything will go well at the end of the year. Then, I will take you back to China!"
"Wow!" Everyone was extremely excited, especially Li San and Xiang Lan, whose eyes were slightly red and their noses were sour. of.
Li Qiwei felt very distressed. He didn't feel anything, but the two of them were different. They hadn't been home for four or five years.
Wang Luyao took into account the feelings of the three masters and servants, especially Xiang Lan, and she secretly made a decision in her heart.
The reason why Li Qiwei decided to go back at the end of next year was also after careful consideration.
First, I am worried that if the time is too long, people will easily have emotional problems.
The second is that he also has to go back and see for himself what is going on in the country and whether there is anything that needs to be modified in his plan.
Finally, he had a showdown with his family to clarify his future plans, hoping that his family would support him unconditionally in the future.
He should not be able to stay in China for too long before returning to the UK again.
At this time, Xu Qitai saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, so he wanted to reconcile it. He said funnyly: "Brother Li, can we graduate smoothly next year?"
He Yujie and Xia Yuanwei also followed. Nodding, they want to know too.
Although the courses at Cambridge University are now a piece of cake for them.
Because the three of them had been baptized by Li Qiwei's sea-questioning tactics, they found it boring when they looked at other textbooks.
It is not modest to say that the three of them have learned almost everything.
But can such a famous institution as Cambridge University allow people to graduate early? Li Qiwei saw their worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have made an agreement with Dean Sanders of Trinity College. As long as you can pass the graduation defense, you will definitely be allowed to graduate."
“Vice Principal Caldwell, I’ve already taken care of it.”
“As for the paper, I think it shouldn’t be difficult given your current level.”
All three of them smiled confidently.
Their current knowledge reserve has surpassed their peers in school.
And there is no need to write an earth-shattering paper like Li Qiwei did.
Then, several people kept drinking, especially Li Qiwei, who drank the most and soon became a little tipsy.
With the support of Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan, he staggered into his room and kept mumbling, "Don't worry, I'm not drunk."
Wang Luyao put Li Qiwei on the bed, then pulled Xiang Lan to sit down at the desk.
"Xianglan, have you ever thought about your future life?"
"Ah? Sister Lu Yao, I haven't thought about it. I just want to follow the young master all the time."
< br>"Idiot, your young master is going to marry me in the future. What will you do then?"
"Although I told you before that I would let you be my concubine, do you think it is fair?"< br>
"You came to England with your young master a few years ago. The relationship between you cannot be explained by master and servant."
Speaking of this, Wang Luyao seemed to have made up his mind, "I am going to let Qiwei My brother will marry you as his equal wife from now on."
"Huh?" Xiang Lan exclaimed, and then covered her mouth again, for fear of waking up Li Qiwei.
Wang Luyao continued: "If you showed up after I came, I would definitely not let you go."
"But you had already taken care of brother Qiwei before me. It has been several years, and I don’t think he has ever treated you as a maid.”
"Such a man who attaches great importance to love and justice is what I, Wang Luyao, like."
Although Xiang Lan is usually carefree, she is still very immature when it comes to feelings, and she blushed for a moment.
At this time, Wang Luyao suddenly changed his heroic attitude and said hesitantly: "Well. These days, I see that brother Qiwei is in a lot of pain. How about you stay with him tonight?"
"You should know what to do, after all, we have been together for so long."
Xiang Lan almost retorted, with water almost dripping from her face.
Ever since Wang Luyao came, she seemed to be self-taught and had a little understanding of that aspect.
And privately, the two sisters have a close relationship, talking about everything, and sometimes getting involved.
She doesn't care about being misunderstood by the other party. Anyway, she will be the young master's person from now on.
So, she lowered her head, said nothing, and wrapped her fingers around the corners of her clothes.
Wang Luyao smiled knowingly, and the little witch's desire to dominate began again.
She blew out the light in the room, leaving only one candle, and walked out of the room slowly.
On the bed, when Li Qiwei touched something, he instantly woke up.
As soon as he was about to speak, Xianglan blocked his mouth with her hands and hugged him without saying a word.
Li Qiwei knew it in his heart, but he had already made his decision and felt no regrets about it, so he said no more.
In the room, darkness fell, and the candlelight flickered.
The candlelight sometimes moves forward and sometimes backwards, as if it is gathering strength to pierce the darkness.
And the darkness wants to contain the candlelight and absorb its warmth.
The flames burned stronger and stronger, and its high temperature made the darkness tremble. The boundless netherworld began to vibrate, and a mysterious aura began to fill the air.
As time went on, the candle flame beat more and more intensely, even igniting the air and making a crackling sound.
The darkness changed its strategy and no longer swallowed it forcefully. Instead, it tightened all its strength and wanted to give the candle a fatal blow.
finally!
Boom!
The flames exploded suddenly, like a volcano erupting, impacting the depths of darkness with overwhelming force.
At this time, the sound of wind suddenly sounded in the room.
The darkness receded and the moon finally came out.
The white moonlight shines on the extinguished candle, where the warmth of the flame still remains.
"Master, hold me tight." Xiang Lan weakly leaned her head on Li Qiwei's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
