No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The arrival of the Western study abroad group brought a different kind of excitement to the capital.

Those who can afford to study abroad generally come from wealthy and prestigious families, and they themselves are capable and motivated.

If one is poor and cannot afford the study abroad fees, and if one has no ambition, he will just lie there and live a life of luxury in his family.

So this group of people do have some real skills and they integrated into school life very quickly.

According to the price, these more than 300 international students were divided into different schools such as the Imperial College and the Beijing Girls' School.

Among them, those in the Imperial College were naturally the richest and most noble group, and they all studied hard for the courses in the Imperial College.

But gradually, they felt something was wrong - why did all the students from the Qing Dynasty disappear that afternoon?

At first they thought it was a holiday, but someone questioned it: "The teacher said there's only one day off in ten days, so we must still have classes this afternoon."

They now try to use Chinese when communicating with each other, after all, they came here specifically to learn it.

But the level of understanding varies. Sometimes when I don’t understand, I have to start gesturing.

As they were talking, they almost collapsed from exhaustion. A man outside called out, "Hey, Louis, what are you guys doing here?"

"Hey! Cheng Qi, where have you all been?" Louis' face turned red with excitement.

Cheng Qi thought that these Westerners were as white as ghosts and blushed easily.

He explained: "On the last afternoon of every ten-day period, there is a Cuju game!"

"Today is the match between our Imperial College team and the girls' school team. I looked everywhere but you guys didn't show up. The teacher asked me to come find you!"

He touched his nose as he spoke. Actually, this was also his mistake.

Louis's blue eyes widened instantly, and his Adam's apple slid up and down: "What? ...What is Cuju?"

He searched his mind but couldn't find any memories related to Cuju.

In other words, this is something completely new!

Cheng Qi was too lazy to explain, nor could he explain it clearly.

I simply grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go! You'll know when you get there."

"If you're any later, you won't even be able to get a spot near the goal!"

As we passed through the Chuihua Gate, a deafening sound of gongs and drums suddenly erupted.

Countless teachers and students crowded in the stands, all of them extremely excited.

Louis and the others were instantly shocked speechless by the scene before them, because the scene before them looked like an aristocratic arena.

But on the green field, there were not slaves used for fighting beasts, but a dozen young and attractive students.

The students of the Imperial College wore indigo headbands, and the hems of their robes fluttered in the wind.

The girls from the girls' school across the street had their hair tied up in neat buns, and their pomegranate-red skirts and pants were stained with grass debris, but they looked no less heroic.

The charm of this sport is that no matter who sees it, they will be addicted to it.

Especially for those who have never seen the world, such a large venue is hard to find in their place, let alone one specially built for entertainment and competition.

When the two sides officially started, even laymen who were just watching the fun would be excited.

"Wow, wow, wow..." The foreign student Hans' hands were shaking as he held the telescope.

In the camera, the striker of the girls' school made a bicycle kick, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew into the goal.

Thunderous cheers erupted from the stands. He turned to look at his classmate, only to see that his face was flushed with excitement.

She shouted at the top of her lungs, "What a 'swallow carrying mud' trick! Cao Li, who topped the women's list in last year's autumn exam, also used this trick!"

The students of the Qing Dynasty had long been accustomed to it. Although the discussions were lively, they were not surprised.

Only these international students from the West felt that their eyes were not enough and they wished they could be split into two parts to see separately.

Louis had read Marco Polo's Travels. When he saw the exaggerated descriptions in the travelogue, as if the great Eastern country was full of gold, he was a little bit unconvinced.

But now he is truly stepping on this land, feeling the local customs and learning their cultural knowledge.

Only then did I realize that gold does not necessarily refer to real gold and silver.

But it is this mysterious oriental country, whose history and culture are as precious as gold.

He made up his mind to study hard, learn all the knowledge he could, and bring it all back to their country.

Because he had a hunch that only by keeping up with the pace of this country could he get better and better.

Lin Mingyan actually knew that because of the things she had tinkered with, the Qing Dynasty had become the most advanced country in the world.

Their industrial revolution history was at least fifty years ahead of that of the West.

These fifty years were the time and opportunity she fought for this land.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This time they are ahead!

The Fourth Master has less to do now, so he has more time to spend with her.

While drinking Chinese medicine, he discussed with her, "Hu Rong submitted a memorial this morning, suggesting that the court lift the maritime ban."

Lin Mingyan had long suspected that this guy wanted to lift the maritime ban, and said with a smile: "He doesn't want to lift the maritime ban, but wants us, the people of the Qing Dynasty, to go to the West to earn real money, right?"

Hu Rong said last time that it is really easy to make money outside.

Any shipload of porcelain or silk could be exchanged for a shipload of silver.

Not to mention that they eat a lot of meat and have a greater demand for tea, so the tea business is even easier to do.

The Fourth Master shook his head and teased, "This is the person you chose, doesn't he look just like you?"

Lin Mingyan snorted, "People from the same family are alike. Isn't it the same with you, Master?"

The whole family is obsessed with money. Big brother, stop laughing at your second brother.

The Fourth Master hugged her tightly, his chest shaking with laughter.

After laughing enough, he said, "When the weather gets better, let the children get married, and then we can go by train or ship!"

He also wanted to take Lin Mingyan to Taiwan Island, which was her wish.

I really want to take her to fulfill all her wishes while I am still healthy, so that she will not have any regrets.

Lin Mingyan counted on her fingers: "Honghui's wedding is scheduled for the 16th day of the first lunar month, so it's almost here."

"Everything that needs to be prepared is ready, and we are just waiting to marry the Crown Princess."

"Hongyun and Hongyu's wedding date is set for March, one at the beginning of the month and the other at the end, which is pretty close."

"It's just that the four little ones down there are hard to deal with. By the time they start to develop feelings for each other, we'll all be old!"

I used to think that all the quadruplets except Hongli were quite well-behaved.

Now I feel that being too obedient is not a good thing. He is like an old cow, and he will move only when you whip him.

"Hongli seems to be destined to be with the granddaughter of Fucha Ma Qi. It should be almost settled, right?" The Fourth Master had a good impression of Ma Qi and was quite optimistic about this marriage.

Lin Mingyan nodded: "Fucha Rongyin has a good personality, and she is also a classmate of Shiyue and the others. We will have a good relationship in the future."
