Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Departure Situation

Mr. Nuoxi sent another letter to Miss Alice about four or five days after he sent the letter with the letter to the God's messenger asking for money for the drink. The letter said that she would be able to leave soon after going to China, and asked her to prepare everything before departure. "This gentleman is really interesting, how do I prepare?" She was amused thinking about it.She didn't understand that she had to prepare for a visit to China.She thought she would start when she wanted to go, she had to get ready, it was so strange!She didn't even look at the people she was going to tell the family, and she didn't want to ask her aunt, Mrs. Gregory Foyce, what to say.She was afraid that Zhang Yang would fail to leave in the morning.If the younger siblings know this and all fight to go, then who will take care of it.

She thought again, "Could it be by boat?" It was not right either.Even if two people are rowing a boat, a bearded boatman is at the helm, and he sits in the middle cabin of the three-person boat in a proper manner, this is not something to prepare.She is confident that she will not get dizzy by boat, she has been in the sea with her father before. However, Mr. Nuoxi's letter clearly stated that preparations should be made in advance. Embarrassed.She didn't believe what the rabbit said was true, and she probably said it as usual when she wrote the letter.Because the words in the letter are often not what this person wants to say, and she understands it.But Mr. Nuoxi seemed to have expected this first, and typed two double circles next to the word "preparation".Miss Alice spent two days thinking about these two circles.

Inadvertently, while my aunt was telling stories, she said, "Auntie, if we go to China for a trip, do we need to bring anything necessary?" This Mrs. Gergoffs actually doesn't understand the procedures for going to China. Apart from talking about China in fairy tales, she doesn't understand whether China is a place where there are more gods than people or people are more than gods.But every time a question is asked from the children, she always has an answer as usual, and there are some materials for these children, so she quoted the method of You Xiaorenguo, saying that it is best to bring a blue pencil and a diary Fortunately, when I can't understand the words, I can talk in letters, and I can send letters home.

Miss Alice only nodded when she heard this.When her aunt asked her if she wanted to go to China, Miss Alice only vaguely agreed, and went to Daddy's study. She knew that it would be much more convenient to bring some paper and pens with her when going to China, so without letting anyone know, she quietly took a small blue pencil from her father's desk and threw it in her pocket.He also took out his own diary on yellow paper—this diary was a gift from his aunt Mrs. Greg Foyce at Christmas, and it was painted with the golden Chinese characters for blessing and longevity—from the box and took it out of the box. Put it under your pillow.So she thought that everything was well prepared and all that was left was to leave, so she calmly waited for Mr. Nuoxi to arrive.

In the old days, sisters and brothers in Miss Alice's family went to bed in order of age.Under the care of my aunt, Mrs. Gregory Foyce.The youngest brother was the first to dismiss.Next is Sixth Sister's turn.Followed by the fifth brother.And secondly, it's her.Although sometimes I can't fall asleep immediately after going to bed, and I can hear the blessing words of my aunt when the eldest sister goes to bed, but at least this has become a rule.After everyone went to bed, my aunt would set up the plush blanket, rub her hands around the quilt cover again, and softly say "God bless you", and then the sleepers closed their eyes silently and let Gergoff Mrs. Iss kissed her on the forehead, and she meant that all the noise, eating, drinking, crying and laughing for a day had left her, and the day was over.

Miss Alice only wanted to go to bed early because of the words "I can leave soon".Originally, going to bed late seemed to be a right. In the past, she fought for this right, but now she is willing to give up even her share of the right.When I go to bed late, I usually get something to eat from Mrs. Greg Foyce, such as candied chestnuts, dried walnuts, sesame cakes, oranges, etc. Most of these things are not for the fifth sister, but at this time Alice The lady is also willing to give up.She just wants to go to bed earlier. No one could understand what she was thinking about this matter.Needless to say, Dad rarely pays attention to this, because Dad has a lot of things to do in a day.Miss Alice prefers to go to bed early, we understand that.If you slept like Taiyan, you made the rabbit wait all the time, I'm really sorry!

She wanted to go to bed early, and always begged her younger siblings to go to bed first, because all the rules in this family still cannot be broken.She also asked Mrs. Gergevoys to shorten each story a bit so that the younger siblings could go to bed after the story was over.To this end, on the third night, she managed to get her aunt to shorten the story, but she saw it.My aunt was suspicious when she saw that Alice had changed her temper, that she just wanted to go to bed early, and that there was nothing wrong with going to bed, so she asked her when she went to bed, "Alice, what's the matter with you? Have you been sick these days? Are you tired again today?"

"No," she said to her aunt. "Auntie, I don't. Let's go to bed early, can't we all have a long dream in bed?" "Yes, but it is not necessary to go to bed early to have good dreams." "I thought to myself, go to bed earlier and have more chances." "Auntie slept for only one hour and had many good dreams." This is also true. When this middle-aged kind woman picked up a copy of "Andersen's Fairy Tales" to read to Miss Alice during the day, she often suddenly became a little girl selling peas or matches! "I'm afraid of delaying things!"

My aunt was amused to hear the boy talk nonsense.Aunt knew it well, and thought that Alice must have remembered the story of You Darenguo and Xiaorenguo that Auntie Tiantian told for her, so she wanted to go to Xiaorenguo for a visit.Mrs. Gergevoys had this dream too when she was a child, and knowing how innocent a child is at heart, she said, "My dear boy, I see what you mean." Miss Alice just nodded, "But don't catch a cold. It's hard to get good dreams when you have a cold. Once you sneeze, they will be scared away." "Auntie, do you understand?" "Yes. Tell me tomorrow morning how the red-headed policeman treats you, and say hello to him for me, and say that Mrs. Gregory Foyce remembers him too!"

Mrs. Gergevoys also entrusted Alice to ask the red-headed policeman of the Lilliputian Country how she was. Only then did Miss Alice know what her aunt meant when she said "understand". She said, "Auntie, I'm not going to that place. Then let brother Peter go, and you ask him to greet that kind red-veiled policeman for you." "Well, I'll take him then. Are you going to meet the tin soldiers?" "No." "That's to find the Russian prince—" "Oh, no, no, no. Aunt, I won't tell you about this!" "It's fine to sue me, I'll ask you to just greet my acquaintances for me."

"Then you come here." She asked her aunt to come here because she was afraid that other sisters would hear this. Mrs. Gergevoys obeyed Miss Alice's words, and stooped over to her bedside, so that Alice could whisper in her ear where she was going. The kind lady only nodded, not surprised at all.When Miss Alice finished talking about going to China, the lady said: "Then say hello to Mr. Rabbit for me. And ask Mr. Rabbit for me, who wears a yellow satin embroidered dragon robe and sits silently in the golden palace all day long." The emperor of China is good, once you get there, you will definitely meet the young emperor." "Okay, Auntie, good night!" "Okay, darling, good night to you too." On the other side, I sent the third girl to another dream, and on this side, I closed my eyes and waited for Mr. Nuoxi to come.By the time Mrs. Gergevoys had just settled in Alice's second sister, Gentleman Rabbit had already taken off his hat to Miss Alice. Mr. Nuoxi in Miss Alice's eyes is completely different from last time.At this time, Mr. Nuoxi was clean-shaven, and he was wearing the most fashionable British travel clothes. The clothes were made of light gray fine cloth, which was very beautiful. Thin-soled travel shoes.A black telescope case, a small black photo case, and a silver lead thermos bottle hung under the flank.When Mr. Nuoxi was carrying the big leather bag and seeing Miss Alice, he hurriedly shook off the cap on his head to salute, if it weren't for Mr. Nuoxi's pair of big ears raised high Mark, Miss Alice could no longer tell what respectable man this saluted her. "Mr. Nuoxi, oh, great!" "Yes, hello miss!" They shook hands affectionately and talked about everything in the past. Miss Alice went to Mr. Nuoxi together, and it seemed that this was the starting point.They are walking from the garden. "Mr. Nuoxi, I just talked about you with my aunt not long ago." Then she told him what a good person this Mrs. Gregory Foys is. She learns stories for her sister every day and comes to take care of her sister every night. Seeing people sleeping one by one,... "Oh, this wife knows me too." "Not only did I know. I told her that we were going somewhere with our companions, and she also said that I wanted to say hello for her, the emperor of China." "It's really comforting, and this kind and upright old lady misses it. Later, I will ask the lady to say that this side, a country rabbit in Scotland, also wishes God to give this old man good health!" Mr. Nuoxi said it so politely that Miss Alice didn't know what to say. The two of them walked all the way to a seashore, and the other side of the sea was probably China. After getting on the boat, she remembered that her diary was still under the pillow, "Mr. Nuoxi, I want to turn around, I forgot something!" She immediately told Mr. Nuoxi what she had forgotten.She also said that she had written down what she had written in the letter and asked her aunt, who told her to go to China to prepare for it. "No. To write letters, there is no shortage of foreign paper in China. My friend also told me that the goods that cannot be bought here are also available there, and everything is available!" "I don't understand the 'preparation'." "I mean, I want you to prepare to 'go', lest you will be too busy to escape." "Oh, then don't want that notebook." "correct." ... This ship bound for China seemed to be the only one waiting for him.Not long after they boarded the ship, after a while, they heard a gong beating on the deck to announce that the ship was leaving. The boat was slowly moving in the sea like an elephant, and the boat transported Miss Alice and Mr. Nuoxi to the pier in China. Miss Alice, who landed in China, has been changed to Miss Alice by Mr. Nuoxi.Miss Alice was not surprised about this matter, because her aunt, Mrs. Gruise, had the same silk script as her own, and she thought that this made her more like the lady's niece.As for why Mr. Nuoxi wanted to change her name, he remembered what was said in the "Guidebook", but he did not discuss this strange book with Miss Alice.I came to China to play.It doesn't have to be to investigate anything, it seems that it can be done without this travel guide.
