Reborn As a Pirate

There is chaos at Lucy's estate.

There are servants and slaves adorning the festival, and the still green lawn is full of kids chasing stupid turkeys.

Christmas trees, colorful flowers, ribbons, mistletoe hanging on the door and copper bells dotted in the corners.

As Lorraine's first Christmas in Lucy, everything here was arranged by Ofe, who aspired to become the world's number one housekeeper.

The sense of responsibility requires that she must check the position of every decoration, grasp the status of every detail, and ensure that everything is perfect.

However, true perfection can never come, because the host of this great Christian festival has been determined to be a heathen, a heathen through and through.

This is the greatest disaster.

Offee allowed herself a few seconds of despondency. A few seconds later, the strong Miss Ireland straightened up again and shouted into the yard.

Monica! Dear Monica, has today's dinner been planned? There have been so many guests these days, the kitchen should get used to it, and we can't postpone dinner to supper time like yesterday! Then How rude!

It's all ready, Ofie! Monica poked her head out from behind the house, her face still covered with fine flour, With my mother in charge, you just need to rest assured!

But you said the same thing yesterday!

Monica stuck out her tongue and went back to the kitchen. Ofie had no choice but to look around for the next target.

Fenrir! Tell those Indians to pull out those scary 丨 totem poles! There are guests these days, and your celebration is not allowed! No!

Yes, Miss Housekeeper! Fenrir pursed his mouth in boredom, and hurried to inform the clansmen to stop tonight's bonfire dance.

And...and...

Just as Offee was thinking, high-pitched cheers erupted from Sahuan's children. The children yelled and ran towards the beach, and the guests that Offee was talking about came out together, greeting each other and looking in the same direction.

Lorraine is back, and together with all his sailors, he made his first appearance at Lucy Manor with a full crew.

The tall Karen was rushed to the spot by three or two boys before taking two steps. Behind the boys was a girl, and behind the girl were many grown men and women, surrounded by a pair of healthy old men and old ladies.

Karen stared at them blankly, puzzled, dazed, surprised, and unbelievable.

Boat...captain?

Lorraine smiled and pushed him: In previous years, I would have a holiday for you to reunite with your family, but this year we are in the New World. Even if you take a two-month holiday, you may not have time to see your family.

So before I went to Boston, I wrote to Ramos and asked Occidental to consult with each of your family members and invite them to the annual Christmas meeting. As you can see, your parents, seven siblings and their families, There are three nephews and nieces who want to see you.

Voyage across the sea,

Even with Ramos taking care of them, they have suffered a lot. go quickly.

This... this... The tall Karen ran into the crowd with red eyes, sullenly, and slammed on the brakes at a distance of more than one meter from the old man, Father, I am already the supervisor of a large shipyard. A job like a craftsman! That shipyard is bigger than the Bell Shipyard in Loseymouth, and even has a first-class dock...

A group of people walked away laughing and making noise, Bell put his trousers on and whistled.

Obviously, I miss you so much, but apart from the children, everyone keeps a distance. Father and son, husband and wife are no exception. You are worthy of being a Finn.

Northern Europe is bitterly cold, and people have the problem of being self-reliant. If you are far away, you will be at ease. If you are too close, you will not be able to fully experience the joy of reunion.

Is this the surprise you were talking about?

Lorraine smiled slightly: Christmas surprise, how do you feel?

Bell shrugged his shoulders: It's also thanks to your branch that you can find such a big family together.

The Karen family is not hard to find. Lorraine pointed at the family. His parents often lived in a small dock, just on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The eldest brother inherited the family business, and the eldest sister married a colleague from the same town. The rest of the old The third, fifth, and sixth children all work in the chamber of commerce, and sister Yao recently graduated from the chamber of commerce school and entered the University of Turku to study philosophy, she is the most famous talented woman in the town.

Bell raised his eyebrows: Why does it sound like you are taking care of everything?

This family does not need deliberate care. The family background is there. Karen's parents have raised each child to be excellent. All they need is an opportunity.

While talking, a scream suddenly came from the end of the road.

Oh my God, little Pierce! The most talented young man in our Artis family has grown up so much?

Seeing little Pierce shyly standing in front of a pair of unattractive farmers, Bell opened his mouth.

I remember, haven't Pierce's parents passed away? Legally, you are his guardian now, right?

This matter... Lorraine rubbed her nose in embarrassment, I didn't know that Pierce had any relatives alive when I went through the guardianship procedures. He didn't tell me that he had an aunt until we set off for the New World. A cousin of the same age.

cousin?

Lorraine secretly pointed at the quiet little girl holding Pierce's skirt, gossiping softly.

His aunt is a snobbish woman. As soon as Pierce and I boarded the boat, he asked the gentlemen in the town to seize the real estate and shop of Pierce's family. Later, we met and heard that Pierce became the vice president and shareholder of a large chamber of commerce. I wanted to let her on the spot. That girl is engaged to Pierce.

Pierce declined?

It was the little girl who refused. Lorraine grinned, Now my aunt's family is the handmade tapestry agent of the chamber of commerce, with a transaction volume of six or seven hundred pounds a year, which is enough for them to have enough food and clothing. But the little girl gave up the church. School, I found Ramos's wife by myself, and applied to enter the chamber of commerce school to study, and I heard that she has both good character and academic performance.

Bell laughed lasciviously: Why do I think Pierce will fall into the gentleness of his outstanding cousin sooner or later?

You're not the only one who thinks that. Lorraine said in the tone of an old father, In fact, everyone on the boat thinks so.

After Keren and Pierce, the families of the sailors gathered together.

On the left are Carmen and his parents, a rather weak-looking country gentleman couple.

Carmen's father is persuading his wonderful daughter.

Carmen, Sir Alfonso and your cousin divorced a few years ago, and God still refused to give them children. Sir Alfonso came to our house several times and helped us solve several problems, including your brother...

What trouble did my cowardly brother who dare not go to sea get into? Competing with others and being jealous, but retreating at the moment of a duel?

Carmen was obviously right.

Her father changed the topic with a dark face: Your brother's matter has been settled by Sir with prestige, so you don't need to worry about it anymore! Carmen, what I want to talk about is Sir. He has mentioned you several times and never forgets you... ...

Father, please let that noble knight give up! Carmen took her mother's hand and interrupted her father unreasonably, Father, I can't think of any reason to give up my career and marry him.

He is the Grand Duke's agent in Bermeo!

A poor agent with an annual income of only 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, he can't afford to support me. Carmen laughed disdainfully, Father, the world is different. A desolate black port can't hold me, just a mere A short-sighted country gentleman is not worthy of me, and an estate of tens of thousands of pounds cannot support me. Your daughter has seen the vastness of the world, and in this vast world, I live well.

Carmen's father was completely suppressed, only the dignity of being a father was left to hold on, insisting: You...but you are a girl...

Mother, would you like to go to my room? I have prepared several new dresses for you, all of which are authentic oriental Suzhou embroidery, the most noble fabrics, and each set is worth more than a hundred pounds. And jewelry, have you seen the fist A big ruby? I got it at an auction in New Orleans four months ago for £1,600. Gentlemen, I say, are mostly blind...

On the right hand side is Yacharin's special session.

Lorraine heard that his family is a small businessman in Porto, but the current scene is obviously not suitable.

Yacharin's father was wearing a brand-new and straight tuxedo, supporting his short and fat figure, with a lady in a gorgeous dress on his arm, and a shy beauty standing behind him.

Yacharin's eyes froze a little.

Father……

Ya Zha, I have received the gold coins that you sent home a few months ago. They saved the Desai family. No! It was you who saved the Desai family again!

Um?

Don't you know? Since you came to the New World, the number of visitors to our house has increased several times.

My family is dying. The fat father waved his hand, The 68,000 pounds indemnity will wipe out the whole family, so your uncle thought of you and wanted me to make peace for them and extend the indemnity to ten to ten Fifteen years to pay off.

I thought, how can I have such a face? But I couldn't stand your uncle's request, so I went to Southampton.

Who knew that the Offshore Guild actually agreed, and the compensation period was extended to ten years, with an additional interest of 5% of the total amount each year, and an annual payment of 10,200 pounds. Everyone in the family knows that you saved the Desai family for the first time.

Then a few months ago, in order to pay off this year's payment, your uncle was going to sell a vineyard outside Porto, but the price was maliciously suppressed.

Your uncle is upset, because he turned down the purchase request from the Narlo family, and even your cousin Cecilia's marriage contract was politely returned by the other party.

You know, right? That's the cousin Cecilia you loved but didn't dare to pursue since childhood! Of course I couldn't be more angry. It happened that you sent another three thousand pounds. In front of the envoy of the Narlo family, I spent eight A thousand pounds bought the manor!

Acharin was dazed by the cadenced tirade, and when he heard the eight thousand pounds, his spirit shook violently.

Wait! Father, where did you get eight thousand pounds!

Uh...that's not a momentary rush...

The contract is fake?

True, and God has justified it.

But where did you get the eight thousand pounds!

That... The fat father scratched his head embarrassingly, I calculated, you sent the money in September, that is, half a year in the New World, and you earned more than 3,000, so I paid 3,000 first , and pay off the remaining 5,000 within a year, you can definitely do it.

The impression is that Ria Charin has never made such a miserable expression of a married man: No... wait! Why do you want me to pay for your vineyard!

This is not a simple manor! The fat father dissatisfied, You know? This is your face, and it is also Desai's face!

After this contract was concluded, the elders of the family immediately adjusted your line of succession to No. 11. Even your uncle said that it was the most correct choice in his life to franchise you to join the Drake Chamber of Commerce during the war.

Charter? Crazy? When will he...

That's not all! Didn't you see that we brought your cousin Cecilia this time? You're almost 30, and she's turning 16 this year. Your uncle said, since you've always liked her , let you get married in the New World, anyway, this is where God shines!

Success...marriage?!

Only then did the shy beauty behind the fat father raise his head, his eyes rolled and his brows were full of spring.

Cousin~~~

I don't want to get married! Yacharin screamed, I don't want to get married! Father, I will give you the five thousand pounds immediately, and I will give you the three thousand pounds you borrowed from me earlier! Get my cousin away, please. , Get Cecilia away!

Acharin pleaded bitterly, but it was too late.

As soon as she heard that he could take out another 5,000 pounds at will, the cousin's eyes became even more erotic, and she immediately turned from defense to offense, and grabbed Yacharin's arm with a beautiful waltz.

Cousin~~~ I don't mind the desolation of the New World, really!

God! What have you done wrong with your clean-spirited believer!!!
