Chapter 230 In America, On a Shipwreck
What the hell happened?
That was really a surprise.
"Miss, you may have taken the wrong ship." A cruise staff member in uniform said with a serious look at the ticket that Lin Lin handed over.
"What?" She went out late today, caught up with traffic jams on the road, and was squeezed by people at the pier for a long time. It was so hot in the dark, and she got on the boat 1 minute before departure. She was asking about the cabin with the ticket It was to prevent myself from going the wrong way again, but I didn't expect to hear such a horrifying fact.
How could it be possible to get on the wrong ship, this is the last cruise ship to sail today.She was in the first-class passage at the pier, and Lin Lin really didn't understand how this happened.
"Miss, this ship is not the Marilyn, but the Titanic. Today is his maiden voyage, and the destination is the United States."
Lin Lin: "...", looking at the luxurious and retro decoration on the ship, can she say that she is the ship on the pier in the United States?
Lin Lin's silence couldn't save anything, she looked down at her clothes, and then at the backpack in her hand.
I glanced at the service staff standing in front of me, and saw that on the pure English newspaper in his hand, the date was written April 1912, 4.
Although I don't want to admit it, the matter is right in front of my eyes.Lin Lin twitched the corner of her mouth and asked a particularly difficult question, "Where is the place where I just got on the boat?"
"The port of Cherbourg, France, madam."
After hearing this, Lin Lin closed her eyes and opened them again. Looking at the person in front of her, she said very calmly, "I may need to pay for a boat ticket. Fortunately, my destination is to go to the United States first. May I ask if there is a ticket on the boat?" Is there first class?"
The Titanic departed from Southampton, England, passed through the port of Cherbourg, France that day, and then sailed non-stop all the way to the United States.
She had missed the last time to disembark.It seems that she can only hit the iceberg with the people on this boat.Titanic is a romantic drama, and the heroine is similar to Ziling in Lin Lin's view.
Love, what a big trouble.
When the service staff heard what Lin Lin said, their expressions changed again. It turned out that the strangely dressed lady in front of her was actually a rich man. "The price of the first-class cabin is very expensive, and there should be some available at this time. Please wait a moment, I will give the newspaper to a guest in front, and then lead you to go through the boarding procedures."
Lin Lin nodded, she was not short of time.
Seeing that Lin Lin was so talkative, the service staff saluted her and walked quickly to the front cabin.
Lin Lin's clothes are very strange. Of course, anyone who knows the goods will not think that Lin Lin's clothes are shabby.
An improved cheongsam lined with ice and fire silk, the top is a cheongsam style made of grass green brocade with a little yellow floral, the bottom is a pleated skirt of the same color and material that reaches above the knee, and the white round head is quite long. Boots.
Youthful and energetic, it has a different style from the British society at this time.
Carl stood at the end of the corridor, holding a rose, trying to suppress the anger provoked by Rose, while looking at the woman standing there looking at the corridor.
An oriental face, and a plump figure that is different from Rose's.
That waist is really thin.
Thinking of Rose still in the room playing with pictures that he couldn't understand, and he suspected she couldn't understand, and then spending his money, and despised him.There was an uncontrollable fire in Carl's heart.
Rose's beauty and aristocratic blood had always been his greatest satisfaction.
Also Rose was different from other aristocratic girls who went to college, which also satisfied Karl.
The current British society and American high society are too absurd and corrupt. If he wants to find a wife who is good in everything, the most important thing is a clean wife, then he must always endure her petty willfulness and her mother's greed.
He is also a little tired.
Thinking of his first girlfriend, he cherishes and loves her so much.If he hadn't heard about which parts of her body were sensitive at the reception among friends, he would not have known that a woman with a pure face was so slutty in private.
Before being with Rose, he was first attracted by Rose's beauty, and then became interested in her always arrogant personality. When he sent someone to investigate her, he found that she was in every way what he thought of his wife. Require.
Not even their family's huge debts could hold him back.
Then he used a lot of jewels and pounds to open a way for himself, and today he boarded the Titanic with the mother and daughter who had no confidence but still retained the arrogance of the nobility.
But what happened these days made Karl a little tired at this time.
How can he get Rose to talk back to him properly?
The wind at night was a bit cool, but it didn't make Lin Lin feel cold.
Looking at the paintings in the corridor which are said to be authentic paintings by famous masters, Lin Lin felt a pang of regret.
Turning her head and seeing a foreign man in a suit standing at the end of the corridor, Lin Lin just nodded politely and stopped paying attention.
Luping's oriental body is quite beautiful, and it is already commonplace for people to pay attention to her.
During the year of studying in the United States, people often stared at the whole class once in class, so at this time, Karl watched for a long time, and Lin Lin didn't have any extra thoughts.
There is no murderous look in the eyes, and there is no lewd/evil look in the eyes, people who can be ignored.
The newspaper delivery staff came back when he was young, first politely apologized to Lin Lin for the long wait, and then led Lin Lin half a step forward to check in for the ship.
"Miss, in the first-class cabin, only room b57 is still vacant. I wonder if you are satisfied with this room?" The staff asked about the house number.
Many wealthy people in this era are somewhat sensitive to numbers, so at this time, the staff first asked Lin Lin if she had any thoughts on b57, and if not, then talk about other things.
Lin Lin shook her head, she didn't have any special hobbies.
When the staff saw this room, they boarded the ship for Lin Lin. Afterwards, Lin Lin found the British pounds of this era that had been exchanged before in the space, and took out the pounds through her backpack.
"Miss, there are two dedicated maids to clean the first-class cabin. But that's limited to tidying up your room and packing your luggage, uh," the staff member paused after seeing that Lin Lin's luggage was only this one bag. After a pause, he continued, "You boarded the ship alone. Do you need a servant on the ship who will take care of you?"
Lin Lin thought for a while, then nodded to accept his kindness.After all, she regarded this trip as a kind of enjoyment, and it would be more convenient to have an exclusive servant. "I did the wrong ship before, so all the luggage was on that ship. I heard there was a clothes shop on the Titanic, isn't it?"
"Yes, Miss Linda." Linda is an English name that Lin Lin likes and is used to.
After asking a few more questions about the facilities and arrangements on the Titanic, the check-in procedures were completed, and the exclusive maid arranged on the ship also came to Lin Lin.
The maid is Ruili, an English girl.People seem to be quite pleasing to the eye.
Ruili wanted to take Lin Lin's backpack, but Lin Lin shook her head, but did not give it to her.Just let her lead the way and the two returned to the cabin together.
She will use this small bag to get her pajamas and toiletries later.Let her take it, and she will tidy it up for herself later, which will be very inconvenient.
Lin Lin is always satisfied with her clothes, but she can't wear the same clothes for several days.So when they got to the room, they asked Ruili to go to the tailor shop on the Titanic to bring back some clothes she could wear there.
But she first found a set of pajamas, and a set of dark long cheongsam top and tuxedo skirt.For this dress, the short part of the front skirt should also cover the knees, and the long part of the back skirt should reach the calf.
It was paired with a pair of flesh-colored leggings, and she should not be cold when she wears it on the day of the shipwreck.
After all, they are all dresses and boots with ice and fire silk as the backing.
In fact, even if she didn't wear these, she would not be able to cool her with her internal strength, but she felt that double insurance was necessary.
Then she took out two dozen pounds, two sets of jewelry, and some skin care cosmetics that she had been using lately.
After that, I put the useless backpack in the bedroom cabinet and hung it.
After finishing all these tasks, Lin Lin went to the private balcony of the room to watch the rolling waves of the sea.
The sea breeze blew on Lin Lin's long black wavy hair.
When her face was a little cold from the sea breeze, Ruili came back with the people from the tailor shop.
Clothes, shoes and hats were all brought over.
People in this era still like that kind of luxury style.So the clothes brought over were too gorgeous.
Lin Lin looked around and picked out five dresses, two pairs of high heels, a shawl, a woolen coat and a pair of woolen finger gloves.
After thinking about it, I took another wide and long fur shawl.
Let the tailor on the ship make a skirt according to her figure as soon as possible, and send the rest tomorrow morning.
The skeletons of Westerners are larger than those of Easterners. In addition, Lu Ping practiced dancing since she was a child, and Lin Lin also practiced internally and externally after she came here, so her body looks thinner and slender again.
These ready-made garments are actually made relatively large, just to increase the scope of trying on.Clothes masters have long been familiar with how to change clothes quickly and well.
So hearing Lin Lin's request, the tailor didn't feel embarrassed at all.
To change the size of this kind of dress, half an hour is enough for him to iron it again after changing it.
Picking out the things she left behind, she asked Ruili to go to the place where she put the money and settle the bill.
She didn't care how things were packed.
At around 08:30, Lin Lin took a hot bath, changed into a sky-blue high-waisted silk dress with some diamonds, and stepped on a pair of white high-heeled shoes, and she went down to the first-class restaurant under the guidance of Ruili.
In Lin Lin's opinion, it was indeed a bit late for dinner at this time.But after arriving at the restaurant, I found that there are really many people here.
After finding a small table for two to sit down, Lin Lin focused on the menu that was delivered.
For today's dinner, the restaurant offers eleven main dishes. I ordered a roasted squab as the main course, and pudding for dessert, as well as a dim sum platter, oysters, asparagus and eggs.
After ordering, Lin Lin dismissed Ruili.She is hungry, isn't Ruili hungry?
After the meal, all she had to do was sign the room number and name, and since she didn't have anything to do at night, she asked Ruili to light the fireplace in the room after the meal, so she could go back to rest.
Not long after Ruili left, the meal ordered by Lin Lin was delivered.
Pretty young women are always the first to be noticed, especially a solo diner.
Carl happened to come from the other side at this time, and found that many people in the restaurant looked at a certain point from time to time, and then turned their heads to look, and saw Lin Lin, who was also eating with relish.
She ate too much.
At this time, Karl absolutely refused to admit that he saw her eating, and he actually had an appetite again at this time.
The stomach that was just full from Rose's gas seemed not so full.
"Carl, here." Thomas Andrew saw Carl coming, and called him with a smile.
Andrew came to Karl today to discuss a more important design investment business. The two met before and discussed this matter. Now they are just discussing the details again.
Lin Lin, who was eating delicious food, turned her head subconsciously when she heard the name.
