Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 109: The Dame of Hannover

From    to the afternoon, the "two-masted" Galen-type destroyer Golden Deer slowly drove into Carisle Bay on the southwest coast of Barbados, and followed the pilot's flag, and stopped at a large mooring pier.

   Compared to the town of Bahiba, this is a qualified resting place for sailors who have experienced ocean and adventure.

   Lorraine gave everyone a big vacation, which lasted six days. Except for a group of sailors who took care of the boat in shifts, they had five full days of free time.

   The news announced that the sailors flocked into the bustling port area with cheers.

   She also followed Henna and got off the boat.

   Because according to Lorraine, people who stay on the ship for a long time will lose their affinity for the land, so during anchoring, the seafarers have to rent a hotel in the port to rest. Although the rotation is inevitable, it has nothing to do with Donna.

   Donna is increasingly looking forward to Lorraine's appearance after being beaten up by the society.

   After sending away Donna and the seamen, Lorraine, Karen, Acharin, and Carmen gathered on the deck and began to discuss the next action plan.

  Lorraine is responsible for purchasing charts and sextants.

   Keren had to go to the nearby dock to check to see if there is a suitable fore mast of the fifth-class ship, and directly began the repair of the Golden Deer.

  Acharin was not allowed to disembark. As a minion on the ship, he had to adapt to the wind and waves of the Caribbean Sea as soon as possible to ensure that his gun-handling skills would not appear to be unsuitable.

  Carmen will call on the local Governor of Barbados on behalf of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

   Bridgetown is the seat of the Governor's Mansion of the British Windward Islands, and the Governor of Barbados also serves as the Governor of the Windward Islands.

   And this piece of islands belonging to the southern arc of the Lesser Antilles, facing the northeast trade wind, is the most important transit terminal for the Atlantic route. Even if the products are not abundant, it is still the core node of the opening of the new continent route.

   If the Chamber of Commerce wants to develop, it must obtain the trade permit here. This is Carmen’s task.

   After assigning their respective jobs, the four moved separately, Lorraine stuck in his waist, and then formally stepped on the land of Bridgetown.

   From the perspective of Europeans, Bridgetown has a long history in the Caribbean.

   In 1628, the British officially began construction on Barbados.

   The builders found a primitive bridge in the Garinnet Swamp. Some people think that the bridge was built by the Arawak, the native Indians of the Caribbean, and they used it as the center of the island.

   They built a new bridge near the original bridge, and built the town of St. Michael around the bridge, also called Bridgetown.

   Bridgetown, in English means "Indian Bridge".

With its superior geography and wide sheltered bays, this small town developed within a few years, and the spread of Bridgetown’s nickname was much higher than that of St. Michael’s official name. Over time, the new governor did not. Knowing the real name of the town, in all official documents, call it Bridgetown.

   St. Michael became Bridgetown in this way.

   So, as long as the history of the British in Barbados is, the history of this bustling town is as long.

More than 150 years of colonial history gave birth to a series of exquisite small buildings with a history of 100 years. The red walls, white walls, blue tiles, black tiles, the architectural style is simple and bright, and the Georgian slender windows extend all the way, making people think back. Arrived in Plymouth, England.

   Lorraine successfully found a nautical supplies store facing the street and bought a brand new sextant and a copy of the Royal Cartographic Bureau edition of the Caribbean Sea Atlas, which was a new product drawn in 1770.

   He was extremely satisfied with his gains, went back to the boat, and carefully studied the new chart.

   On the other side, the Governor's Mansion...

   Carmen jumped out of the carriage with the help of the sailor, and shook away the golden bone fan with lace, half covering her pretty face, and gently shaking.

   For this important public relations, she chose a pure purple lace dress with a high collar, long sleeves, white gloves with silk and dark brown leather boots, without revealing any skin outside of her face.

  'S face is the purest Hannover ladies makeup.

   Crush the pearls, mix with mutton oil to make rouge, paint the whole face white like a wall paste, covering the eyebrows.

   Then put on the thick false eyebrows stitched with Shanghai coypu hair on the eyebrows. The long false eyebrows are attached straight up, almost to the hairline.

   Her lipstick chose the brightest vermilion, with sharp lips, slender and charming.

   The snow-white face is also covered with gold foil, silver foil and some dyed confetti. The shapes are stars, moons, flowers, and fishes, which are colorful and eye-catching.

   She also wore an extremely exaggerated wig.

The silver wig is half a meter high like a mountain. It is decorated with flowers, fresh fruits, gold and silver and coral. There are small and bright carrots hanging from the temples, and a few curls hang down from the forehead, just right in front of the eyes. Sway in the wind.

   Dressed up like this, Carmen basically gave up the ability to communicate on the go.

   But she doesn’t need to communicate with the guard guarding the gate, she just needs to quietly shake the fan and watch her sailor come to the guard, arrogantly: "This gentleman, is your governor here?"

   The guards of the Governor's House who spoke out of the serf class in England glanced at Carmen nervously and swallowed: "Sir, the Governor is in the building."

   "Ms. Xavier is an old friend of the governor. I came to visit friends today, and I'm sorry to hear you."

   "This... Does this honorable lady have an appointment?"

The sailor was angry, glanced at the rank of the guard from the corner of his eyes, and yelled in a deep voice: "Corporal, Ms. Xavier has a very busy schedule. If you miss this half an hour, I promise you will go to the plantation tomorrow with a group of Chopping sugar cane with black skin, the time limit is...forever!"

   "Yes, sir!" The guard slapped and saluted, "Now go, sir!"

   "Run forward, Corporal!"

   "Yes! Run forward!"

   "Wait!" The guard turned and ran into the governor's mansion, and only ran for two steps. The sailor suddenly called him, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Right, who is your governor?"

   "Neville Carlisle, sir!"

   "Okay...Run forward, Corporal!"

   "Ah! Yes! Yes!"

   Three minutes later, Carmen, who had written all his honor on his face, was invited into Governor Carlisle’s private reception room.

The mellow Governor Carlisle put his ten fingers in, and watched Carmen dignifiedly sit on the sofa, and said, "Ms. Xavier. The guard said you claim to be my old friend, but in my impression, I never seem to have known you like this. Beautiful lady."

  Carmen covered his small mouth with a fan of gold bones, and made a dignified smile with only his eyes: "We have never seen it before, sir."

   "In other words, you deliberately deceived my guard with your dignity?"

   "No, meeting is one way to meet, but it's not the only way." Carmen winked at the sailor, and the sailor opened a small wooden box toward the governor and opened the lid.

"In the seventh century AD, the coronation crown of a small country during the Western Saxon dynasty. I have consulted scholars in Southampton. It is a pity that it is not the crown crowned by His Majesty Egbert. But it is also precious enough, isn't it? "

   The governor's eyes stared straight at the crown, and he stared for a while before pulling out his eyes: "Madam means..."

   "It's yours now, my governor." Carmen smiled. "Although it is the first time we have met, I think this does not prevent us from building a friendship that is as deep as old friends."

"I can't agree with you, madam. I always thought that we had a true friendship." Governor Carlisle stood up, gently closed the crown box, and said to Carmen, "I finally saw you today. As my friends have said, you are magnificent, you have heard it, it is better to meet..."
