During her stay in Havana, Zhang Xiaojing lived in a beachfront villa in East Bay.
This Cuban-style mansion can be described as a replica of the Spanish courtyard - with the central courtyard as the core, the entire courtyard is like a star in the moonlight. But with unique Cuban details ¨C the living room walls with adjustable blinds, the colorful roof beams, the curved gallery surrounding the courtyard.
The most distinctive one is undoubtedly the courtyard-style gallery, which can not only protect against wind and rain, but also show the owner's extraordinary taste.
This villa is a holiday villa built by the Governor of Cuba at a huge cost. Before he could move in, he lent it to Oriental guests for free. Not only will he not regret it, but he feels that it will enhance his villa a lot and add a little more heritage and connotation that Cuba lacks most.
? It can be seen from the interior decoration that the Governor of Cuba is in need. From Greek marble floors, exquisite Spanish tiles, Italian gold-inlaid wooden frame mirrors to French crystal chandeliers, as well as various famous oil paintings hanging on the walls, they are all extremely luxurious.
"However, Zhang Xiaojing doesn't appreciate this kind of glitz. This is very different from the aesthetics of the scholar-bureaucrats who prefer simplicity to complexity. It is in line with the pursuit of luxury and the pursuit of new voices by the urban class. Therefore, after experiencing the fresh feeling, she would spend more time in the gallery with flowers and chirping birds, to spend her leisurely vacation time.
After sleeping until she woke up naturally and eating a sumptuous Cuban-style breakfast, she sat behind the desk in the gallery and began to write a letter to Zhao Hao.
It¡¯s not too hot in Havana this season, and it¡¯s even a little cool in the shade of the courtyard in the early morning. But wearing a chamanto shawl made of a piece of baby alpaca wool will make you feel very warm.
"It's like returning to the arms of my husband" Zhang Xiaojing felt a different kind of emotion in her heart, and her legs curled up in the wicker chair twisted unnaturally.
She blushed for a while, quickly picked up the porcelain cup on the table, took a sip of slightly bitter African coffee to calm down, and then turned her thoughts into words, gurgling down her pen.
Since starting out, Xiaozhuzi has written five hundred letters almost non-stop. But the last time I sent a message back was when Mugu Dushu parted ways with the returning fleet.
The letter tells about what she saw and heard along the way, so it is also an excellent travelogue. Of course, the disgusting love words and tiger-wolf words should be removed.
By the time she finished writing the letter, leaving a rouge lip mark at the signature, putting the letter paper into an envelope, and putting it away in the walnut box on the table, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
After finishing the most important thing of the day, Xiao Zhuzi stretched out comfortably, drank a cup of hot kaka, and prepared to empty his mind and go for a stroll in the city after lunch.
This round-the-world trip gave her great spiritual satisfaction. Whether it was the stormy waves when crossing the ocean, the terrifying desert she saw when passing through North Africa, or the huge baobab tree she saw when she stopped in Madagascar, Xiaozhu was fascinated by it. Eye-opener.
This world is indeed something that cannot be seen in books. Oh no, I couldn't see it in the previous books. Because Zhao Hao has vividly described these magnificent pictures in a series of nature books published by Zhao Hao. My husband is so awesome! I really want to hug him
What fascinates Xiaozhuzi even more are the exotic customs that are very different from those in China, but each has its own unique characteristics. She was dazzled and intoxicated by the Nanyang style of Pattani; the Indian style of the Mughal Empire; the Arabian scenery of the Ottoman Empire; the Mediterranean style of the Portuguese Empire; and of course the American style of Cuba.
It turns out that the world is so big, you really have to go out and see it to make this life worthwhile!
But it¡¯s been a long time since she came out, and now she feels strongly homesick.
¡®Fortunately, we are already halfway through the journey, so we should be able to reach home by the end of the year, right? ¡¯ Xiao Zhuzi thought: ¡®Can Shixiang, Shiqi, and Shifu run all over the place? Oops, it¡¯s been delayed, it¡¯s been delayed¡¡¯
I was lost in thought when I suddenly heard rapid footsteps outside. A guard from the Security Department reported outside the courtyard: "Madam, Commander Lin, please hurry back to the ship" After a pause, he added: "Bring your luggage with you too. superior."
"What happened?" Zhang Xiaojing was surprised. It was still peaceful when the shift was handed over yesterday.
The guard shook his head and said: "The correspondent who sent the message is not clear either. He only said that the commander ordered everyone to return to the ship immediately!"
"Okay." Zhang Xiaojing gathered the grass-mud horse's shawl, picked up her letter box and said, "Let's go now."
Luggage and other things will naturally be packed by Qian Yi, so she doesn¡¯t need to worry about it.
Under the protection of the escort team, she drove to the Havana Bay Pier and boarded the small boat that came to pick her up.
Zhang Xiaojing saw that the dock was full of boats from his own fleet. Almost all the lifeboats were put down by Lin Feng.It's troublesome.
¡°But this anti-smuggling fleet appeared at the mouth of Havana Bay before the Cuban anti-smuggling fleet left the port.
"And they also set up a blockade formation." Lin Fengliu whistled angrily: "This is trying to catch a turtle in a jar. No matter whether this bastard is us or not, we have to be careful."
"Yes, be careful when sailing." Zhang Xiaojing said: "But I heard that there are many smuggling ships in Havana, and there are also British slave ships, but they are not necessarily coming for us."
"Look. They sent a boat to the Governor's Mansion, and there will be results soon." Lin Feng leaned on her waist and looked at the sea.
At this time, many smuggling and slave-trading ships with a keen sense of smell, like hawkers who discovered the urban management, began to flee. The galley team did not obstruct it at all, and still only pointed the bow muzzle at the palace-like "Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia" in the bay, slowly approaching.
"Oh, it seems that he has won the lottery, and he is here for us!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed coldly, and he shouted to the outside: "Let those prostitutes get on the boat quickly, I won't wait if it's too late!"
As she spoke, she ordered in a deep voice: "Inform all ships to block the firing when they enter the warning distance. There is no need to ask for instructions! Don't let them tag you!"
