Chapter 33 History of Affliction
Chapter 33: A History of Suffering Love
In the warm cabinet, there was a slightly hoarse music flying. Ye Zhao was still thinking about Boss Su. According to Boss Su’s meaning, his British "girlfriend" was named Rose. He had a very good family background. His father seemed to have inherited a tens of thousands of pounds of inheritance. However, he was very adventurous by nature. After his wife died early, he brought his daughter to Australia to find gold. Miss Rose pursued many suitors in Australia. Mr. Rose prefers one of the planters and strongly opposed Rose and Boss Su’s relationship.
But Ross was deeply in love with Boss Su, and this time he ran to the capital with Boss Su.
In fact, it can be imagined that Boss Su is very proud and leads a group of bold and lively men to conquer the world in the territory of the white people in New Jinshan. I heard that the reason why the two met was that Boss Su rescued her from the natives. You can imagine Boss Su's heroic spirit when he killed all directions. For Ross, this mysterious and chivalrous oriental man must be full of unspeakable charm.
After getting along for a long time, Rose will like Boss Su more and more. It can even be imagined that although Miss Rose "echoed" with Boss Su, with Brother Su's personality, I am afraid that she has never touched her before and has not gotten married, she will definitely be polite to the person she likes.
How to help Brother Su? Ye Zhao changed his mind.
"Father, Father."
Ye Zhao turned around in a daze. In the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Jin was also there. She arrived yesterday and stayed in the West Garden of the Forbidden City (Zhongnanhai). The little courtyard was exhausted and frightened by the train. She cried and made a fuss, which surprised Ye Zhao, but she couldn't help but sigh that Concubine Jin was so powerful that her daughter was very scheming. It seemed that the desire for power was not ordinary.
At this time, Jin Fei Niu Niu Tingting stood in front of the phonograph with a huge speaker and said curiously: "This is so strange that you can sing."
The phonograph is a derivative invention of the telephone. After the emergence of electronic tubes that improve the quality of telephone calls, the emergence of loudspeakers, and the sound quality of the phonograph was greatly improved.
Of course, to Ye Zhao, the sound was still so ugly.
The phonograph was officially sold at the beginning of this year, with a price of 20 silver dollars, and was immediately sought after by the middle class. I believe that with the increase in technology and the decline in price, it will gradually enter ordinary citizens' families in the foreseeable future.
However, it is unlikely to be popular among the citizens for a short period of time. Overall, it can only become a luxury for wealthy families for the time being, because although the price of phonographs is not high, in terms of average salary, it is equivalent to the salary of ordinary citizens in big cities for less than half a year, but the phonograph cylinder of one silver dollar per person is not something that ordinary citizens can afford.
The phono-cylinder plays the role of a record, but now each cylinder can only record three minutes. The first batch of phono-cylinders are equipped with two cylinders, which contains the songs of Bai Mudan, a contracted dancer in "Huanyu Electric Singing".
Universal Electric Singing was jointly established by Taihexing and Mingjie Electric Wire Company. There is no way. Ye Zhao, like Edison, will inevitably involve all aspects of emerging industries. The difference is that Edison needs cooperation from large companies, and Ye Zhao can directly invest capital.
Bai Mudan has a beautiful and beautiful voice and is quite famous in Guangzhou. She is the first of the new four courtesans. She is attracted by Huanyu Electric Singing and becomes the first contracted singer and will also be the target of Huanyu Electric Singing. Now, she is already very famous in the capital. She is a person who can’t buy a smile. Now she is afraid that wealthy businessmen will be able to marry her.
The cylinder that can only record three minutes also makes the songs tailor-made for Bai Mudan short and concise. In fact, in terms of music, traditional music around the world, which can reflect various artistic conceptions, cannot be so short. However, the time shortage on the recording of the phonograph makes short music inevitable, which is the prototype of popular songs.
When he just saw the recording cylinder, Ye Zhao sighed, saying that he had said that there were reasons for the birth of popular songs...
Concubine Jin stood in front of the phonograph curiously, obviously not daring to touch her. The matchmaker chuckled and said, "I was shocked when I saw this strange thing just now."
Concubine Jin had heard of this legendary imperial concubine. She had very rules in front of the matchmaker and said everything was political affairs and state affairs.
At this time, she asked Ye Zhao with a look of advice: "Father, I heard that I used the heavy punishment only in troubled times. My daughter really doesn't understand why the female worker case was sentenced to such a high fine. I heard that there were cases where there were no death sentences when the Chinese accidentally killed people. If you want to rely on your daughter, why not kill her?"
Ye Zhao laughed. The case was spread to North Korea. She knew that she was only a rare person and did not fully understand the case. She paced and thought for a while and said, "This is not a serious punishment. Let me tell you, if it is the same case, the assets of the company involved are 10,000 silver dollars and a few hundred silver dollars, the final compensation of the compensation may be hundreds of silver dollars. Of course, I am giving an example. The accurate amount may not be this number. But the larger the company, the punitive punishment will occur. Why? Because a company with a strong wealth and powerful society occupies more resources, this is inevitable. A weak woman comes to sue it.
It can be imagined that large enterprises can influence administration, hire well-known lawyers, or even buy witnesses, and will a weak woman without power sue it? If a false accusation is true, I believe that it will not be successful. Even if it is true, it is indeed a victim. It would be good if one of them wins the case in ten. If you lose the case, you will have to bear the risk of defamation in the defendant and deal with the big enterprise at the same time. But the only lucky one in these ten, well, won the case. What is the result? Large enterprises are fined hundreds of silver dollars. Tell me, why are you afraid of your law? Why do you have to abide by your law?"
"So, there will be punitive punishments, so that large enterprises will also bear high crime costs. In this way, even if only one out of ten victims can win the lawsuit, it will be a huge deterrent for large enterprises and those who are powerful. This is the legal spirit of our country!"
Concubine Jin seemed to understand but not, and she understood a little, and nodded silently.
The matchmaker smiled slightly and looked at Ye Zhao. Sometimes, he admired him very much. Several years later, when the imperial citizens looked back, the emperor used the method of cutting off royal assets at the beginning of the country to lay the foundation for the imperial legal spirit. What kind of courage was this?
Ye Zhao waved his hand at this time and smiled, "Change dress up, let's listen to Bai Mudan sing, it's much better than this weird machine." He said to the matchmaker, "I'll make an appointment with my elder brother and sister-in-law again, haha."
The matchmaker said helplessly: "I won't go." The brother found a ghost girl. If it weren't for Sharaba's pearls and jade, the matchmaker wouldn't agree to anything. It can be seen that the brother was very guilty and was extremely unnatural in front of her. If she went, she would disappoint her husband's intention to fulfill her.
Ye Zhao thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine, matchmaker, you are not allowed to object to this matter."
...
Boss Su and Miss Rose live in the Maria Hotel in New Town. The five-story red building is shining at night, like a small palace in the east.
Concubine Jin changed into a light green embroidered silk shirt and trousers, and her pomegranate embroidered shoes that were fragrant step by step. She frowned and green eyebrows, and was charming and graceful.
When he arrived outside the 302nd Room, he heard the quarrels coming from inside. Ye Zhao was slightly surprised, and a casual guard came forward to knock on the door.
After a while, the door was opened. The person who opened the door was a blond and blue-eyed European girl. She was sweet and had tears on her face. When she saw a large group of people outside the door, she asked, "Who are you?" She said very stiffly.
In the room, you could already see the roaring old white man, who was about fifties, with a red face full of anger.
Boss Su sat on the Western sofa, with his head hanging down and said nothing, and he didn't know if he could understand the old man's slang English.
As soon as she saw her, she knew that this was her brother-in-law's future father-in-law. Ye Zhao walked in with a smile. Miss Ross wanted to stop her, but was skillfully sent by a female guard to the side, which made her stay away from Ye Zhao without realizing it without feeling offended.
"Is it Mr. Ross?" Ye Zhao didn't speak English for a long time, and felt that his tongue could not be released.
The old white man looked at Ye Zhao angrily and said, "Who are you?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I am Mr. Su's younger brother. Mr. Su is my wife's brother. Mr. Ross, don't be angry. My eldest brother Su is not good at speaking, but he is very loyal. Otherwise, you can't find this place, right?" Ye Zhao knew that it must be that Boss Su had left a letter to the white old man or notified him through some means, so that the old man could come to him.
Mr. Ross snorted and said, "Does he have the courage not to notify me? Take the population back to Melbourne and I will send him into the room!"
"Father, I said it wasn't that he kidnapped me." Miss Ross hurriedly helped Boss Su to speak, and then looked at Ye Zhao differently. She didn't expect that the Eastern lover would have a younger brother who could speak London accent.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Ross, you are a little arrogant. My brother Su has thousands of hectares of land in China. So what if he doesn't go back to Melbourne? It's just that he is a good friend, and he regards his subordinates as brothers and cannot bear to leave them. Speaking of Melbourne police detectives, if there is no sufficient evidence to arrest Chinese citizens and go to the cell, I believe it will cause diplomatic disputes."
Mr. Ross has been stuck. Indeed, in the past two years, the Chinese's status in Australia has been very different from before.
After staring at Ye Zhao for a few glances, Mr. Ross snorted coldly: "You Chinese are nouveau riche like your country, and are rude nouveau riche. Take my daughter away, and instead use the cunning of you oriental people to argue with me."
The guards behind Ye Zhao immediately changed their faces. The old man felt a stern and subconsciously took a step back. The quiz behind the young man's eyes were so scary that he had never seen such a fierce look.
Ye Zhao was not angry and smiled and said, "Mr. Ross was wrong again. As one of the oldest civilizations, China has never been a nouveau riche, but your country..." If you don't say it anymore, you originally wanted to say that your country was still outside the civilized world in the Roman period, and was just a barbarian. But you would not talk to others. Besides, praising your ancestors all day is the most unreliable manifestation. You paused and said, "Would you like to give some advice to the nouveau riche's tea?"
He gave a wink at the girl Shanggong who came out to serve, but Concubine Jin hurriedly took the tea jar from Shanggong's four-sided brocade box, and Pingting went to the tea table and sprinkled hot water to make tea.
Seeing Ye Zhao's attitude, the old man was shocked.
