"Look, it's Master Lampard," a woman who had seen Lin Wei shouted.

"Yes, I have met Master Lampard. Last time we had a conflict with the French, Master Lampard rescued us," a strong man also said.

"Oh, he is the pride of our Essen"

"The glory of Juncker"

"Our national hero in the Ruhr area," a group of people said in a hurry.

"Lampard, Lampard, Lampard..." In just a few seconds, all the words turned into one sentence.

Seeing that he was being surrounded, Lin Wei quickly signaled to Butler Creek with his eyes, hoping that Uncle Creek, who had watched him grow up, could help him get out of the siege. But his Uncle Creek ruthlessly pretended not to see it, and Lin Wei had no choice but to start his first impromptu speech in his life.

Lin Wei pressed his hands and saw that the crowd gradually calmed down, so he said, "I am proud to be born in the German Empire. Germany is a great nation. In the past, we chose Prime Minister Bismarck for the unification of Germany. Later, in order to open up living space, We chose His Majesty Wilhelm II again. We failed in the four-year war. We lost everything we had gained since Prime Minister Bismarck, but I believe this was just a small test given to us by God. The great Germany It will never sink like this, it will only be reborn from the fire and burst out with more dazzling light." Bang bang... applause sounded, and Lin Wei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the effect of his first speech in his two lives is still very good. Yes, while these people were still awake, Lin Wei decisively decided to run away.

After running home non-stop, before Lin Wei could breathe a sigh of relief, he was told that his parents had been waiting for him for a long time. He hurried to Gustav's study. As soon as he entered the study, he was greeted by Gustav & Krug. Bo scolded him, saying that he had spent too much in the United States and should be frugal, but that he was too lazy when he came back. As a Junker noble, he should be punctual. Finally, he talked about the loan, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Lampard, you did a great job with the loan," Gustave said approvingly.

"I have discussed something with Berta. I want to hear your opinion. Let your mother tell you." Gustav turned his head and motioned to Berta and Krupp.

"That's right Lampard, Ronald von Page from Stuttgart is a family friend of our family. Ronald von Page's granddaughter is seventeen years old like you. If you and his granddaughter Ronald If Feng and Linda can become partners, it will be good for both our families," Berta and Krupp said while watching Lin Wei's reaction.

"If this is the case, mom, I know what to do, but I'm only seventeen years old. Don't you think I'm too young?" Lin Wei said expressionlessly.

"You can get engaged first, but Lampard, if you..."

"Father, it's settled like this. I have no objection. If nothing happens, I will go back to the room to rest first." Lin Wei interrupted Gustave.

"Okay, Lampard, go and rest first," Berta & Krupp said.

"Gustave, are we a little too ruthless?" Berta said to Gustave.

"Berta, you are too soft-hearted. We only have one son, Lampard. Don't I feel sorry for you? This is also to make the family stronger. Besides, you have seen this child Linda. She is a good child." Gustave & Krupp said comfortingly.

Lin Wei lay on his bed and was distraught. Forget it, maybe it had been doomed since the day he was born in this home. Now Lin Wei could only comfort himself in this way. At this time, Lin Wei thought of his previous life and thought of The girl he had a crush on for three years but didn't dare to confess to her, thinking of her soft hair, her talking eyes, her smile, Lin Wei knew that all these were far away from him now.

Early the next morning, Lin Wei went to Stuttgart with Gustav & Krupp. Lin Wei didn't say a word along the way.

Stuttgart is located in the southwest and is the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Grape-planted hillsides surround the city center, and the Neckar River flows east of the city. Compared with Lin Wei's hometown of Essen, which is known as the Chimney City, Stuttgart is undoubtedly a city with beautiful scenery. What makes Lin Wei most amused is that the name Stuttgart actually means stud farm.

The Ronald family is located in an inconspicuous-looking castle in the western suburbs of Stuttgart. No one would have thought that this ordinary-looking castle houses the owner who controls 40% of the wine market share in Germany. of a big family.

Lin Wei and his son came to the gate of the castle. The butler of the Ronald family had already been waiting here. Lin Wei and his son were invited to the living room inside the castle. Ronald Feng Page, the patriarch of the Ronald family, Just wait for them in the living room.

Lin Wei first gave the patriarch a Junker etiquette, and then stood on the left side of Gustav. At this time, Lin Wei's father Gustave spoke first, "Chief Page, I haven't seen you for many years. He still looks so energetic." "Gustav, you deserve the award. You are still young and strong, and you have a good son like Lampard." Ronald Von Page also complimented. "Patriarch Page, I am here this time to marry my son Lampard Krupp and your granddaughter Ronald Von Linda," Gustav said straight to the point.

"But Linda is only seventeen years old, isn't she too young?" Ronald Feng Page pretended not to agree.

Old guy, it's weird if you don't want to, Lin Wei muttered in his heart.

"Patriarch Page, we can get Lampard and Linda engaged first, and then hold the wedding when they grow up," Gustav suggested.

"Okay, Gustave, but I don't know whether Linda is willing or not. I won't force her," Ronald Von Page said.

Oh, these hypocritical Junker nobles, you are still letting people live. It would be weird if you didn't force them. Lin Wei was secretly arranging in his stomach.

Ronald Von Page pressed something similar to a doorbell on the table, and a servant came in immediately, "Hughie, go and call Miss Linda."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment"

Ta da... After a while, an elegant lady came in. At this time, Gustav winked at Lin Wei, which meant that Lampard... rushed. Lin Wei was heartbroken and used the limited time to quickly look at what was wrong with him. Then he stood up and walked to Linda's side. He knelt down on one leg and took out a diamond ring from his pocket. , and said at the same time, "Beautiful lady, since the first time I saw you, I decided to marry you (shameless, now is the first time you see her)".

Linda looked at Ronald von Page as if asking for help, and at the signal of the Page patriarch, she accepted the engagement ring. Lin Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

Later, Lin Wei's father discussed some other matters of concern with the Page patriarch. Lin Wei also took this opportunity to say a few words to his future bride. In the evening, Lin Wei and his son left Stuttgart and returned to Essen. .

For Lin Wei, this was a typical arranged marriage. As a man who had been educated by later generations, he should not have surrendered like this, but Lin Wei had no choice but to accept this helpless fact. Isn't there a saying that life is like rape? Since you can't resist, just enjoy it with your eyes closed.

city of stuttgart

Linda couldn't help but think of Lin Wei's hateful face in the room, thinking that she was so smart, so how could she not see Lin Wei's hypocritical behavior? This guy's acting was too fake, and he didn't take himself seriously at all. Thinking of this, Linda not only tightened her fist, but then she smiled easily, "Humph, Kru Uncle, you can't escape my grasp. I will tell grandpa tomorrow to go to Essen," Linda thought truthfully.

Essen

"Haha, who is talking about me?" Poor Lin Wei muttered to himself in confusion, "Forget it, go to bed first." If Lin Wei could predict the future, he would definitely pray that tomorrow would not come.

Time passed quickly. On this day, Lin Wei and Linda were walking in the city of Essen. People passing by gave Lin Wei and Lin Wei a kind smile. Lin Wei stopped from time to time to say hello to the people passing by. Linda walked on the left side of Lin Wei. She had heard about the respect people in Essen had for the Krupp family in Stuttgart. At that time, she thought it was because the Krupp family had deep roots in Essen. However, when she came After Essen, she learned that the rumors were true, and even worse.

"Linda, where are you taking us?" Lin Wei turned around and asked.

"Lampard, it's been two months since I came to Essen, and you haven't taken me to visit your factory yet. Let's go to your factory," Linda suggested.

"Linda, the factory is very dirty and messy. How about we go to the western suburbs? The scenery there is much better than in the city." Lin Wei said looking at the girl who had given him a huge headache for two months.

"No, Lampard, I just want to see your factory," Linda said, shaking Lin Wei's hand.

"Okay, let's go, let's go. Can you let go of your hands first?" Lin Wei looked at the people on the street looking at him, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

To be honest, when Lin Wei first returned to Essen, he never expected that Linda would also come to Essen the next day. When his father Gustav told Lin Wei the next morning that Linda would come to Essen soon, Lin Wei I almost packed up my bedroll and ran away. However, after two months of getting along, the two of them gradually entered a state of love.
