Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 111: 1 bottle of Pinot Noir

   Horatio Nelson, this name is thunderous in Lorraine's memory.

   He is the nephew of Odilean, and Odilean respects his vision and ability.

   He is the imaginary enemy of Sir Layton, the teacher of Lorraine, and the sea school experiential school has cultivated the best student representatives in the past 30 years.

   This involves the dispute over the teaching route within the sea school.

The   experience school believes that excellent officers can only be trained on the battlefield. Every marine school student should join the fleet in the year of enrollment and use the cruel survival of the fittest to select the elite. The systematic teaching of the academy can only train sailors, which is useless in the military.

  The academy party hates this kind of self-absolutely rooted argument, and regards the experiential school as a shame.

  Lorraine was regarded as a treasure by Sir Layton, and the most common curse when he was in the sea school was "Your opponent is the **** Horatio Nelson", which shows the academy's grievances towards Nelson.

   In addition, if the memory of Lorraine's last life is not a problem, Nelson is still a destined legend.

   White Flag Vice Admiral, the first Viscount Nelson, a hero of Trafalgar, a model of outstanding soldiers all over the world, the dogmatic beliefs of the German and Japanese navies during World War II...

   can tie all kinds of honor in one, Nelson must be outstanding. But even so, Lorraine still had no interest in him.

  Referring to the memory of the previous life, this legend is obviously just a pure soldier, desperately seeking benevolence and benevolence, and dying has not turned his outstanding military exploits into political popularity and political bargaining chips.

   In other words, he is not a suitable investment target for Lorraine.

   From the point of view of seeking wealth, meeting Nelson is a business with half the effort, and it is destined to lose money.

   So Lorraine was not very active in sending the letter. Facing the ensign's invitation, he didn't even board the Badger personally. He only expressed gratitude reservedly, then handed the letter and left.

   This matter seems to end here.

   Lorraine completed Odilean's request and sent a private letter far away from the ocean to his good nephew.

   But two days later, the reckless second lieutenant actually appeared at the entrance of the hotel where Lorraine was renting, and handed Nelson's invitation letter with both hands.

   The invitation letter is made of nanmu foreskin, which is not only beautifully framed, but also the squiggles written in it is delicate and tidy. It is done in one go. The most important thing is that the content of the letterhead and the signature at the end are obviously from one person.

   This shows that the invitation letter was written by Nelson himself, and when writing it with a serious attitude, he drafted it in advance and then recorded it.

   Lorraine couldn't help frowning: "François Farm, tomorrow night?"

   "Yes, Mr. Drake." The second lieutenant said seriously, "Sir François is a good friend of the lieutenant colonel. The lieutenant colonel borrowed the farm from him and prepared a banquet. Please enjoy it."

   "Can I ask what kind of banquet it is?"

   "French style."

   "Only me and the lieutenant colonel?" Lorington paused, "I mean, will the lieutenant colonel bring a female companion?"

   "Miss François will accompany you. They are in love."

   "Really..." Lorraine smiled and put away the invitation letter, "Please tell the lieutenant colonel, thank him for his kind invitation, I will be there on time."

   "Waiting for a ride, Mr. Drake!"

   sent away the ensign, Lorraine stood in the yard with his arms for a long time.

   Henna came over, with a puzzled face: "Are you worried, do you think this banquet is fraudulent?"

   "There is no fraud, there is no conflict between us, and no old grudges." Lorraine sighed helplessly, "It's just that the lieutenant colonel acted too solemnly, which made the dinner party suddenly troublesome."

"for example?"

   "For example, his beliefs, preferences, and the age and appearance of that Miss François. If I don't want to be rude in front of others, I at least need to know this."

   Henna raised her eyebrows: "François Farm, isn't it? I'll take a look in the evening."

  ……

   The next day, Lorraine chose Carmen as his female companion, and took a carriage to the Francois farm in the outskirts.

  The farms in Barbados are naturally plantations. There are rows of guards along the road that look like straight sugarcane forests. There is a sugar workshop in the middle of the woods. Judging from the rumbling noises, Baron Francois has introduced trendy steam engine equipment.

   Passing through the vast sugarcane forest, passing through a small village where black slaves live and a large beautiful cherry orchard, Lorraine finally saw the farm.

   The wooden gate is simple and heavy, with long and high walls extending on both sides, and barbed wire is tied on the wall to separate slavery and slavery.

   Lorraine saw Nelson waiting there at the gate of the farm. He was wearing a formal military dress with a wig and a black suede triangle military cap.

   Next to him is a blond girl from Xiaojiabiyu, about sixteen or seventeen years old, her face has not faded from baby fat, her facial features are dignified and slightly cramped.

   The carriage stopped in front of the gate, Lorraine jumped down, and took the elbow to take Carmen in his costume.

   Henna’s earlier spy had a role at this moment.

   Nelson is a Puritan, and Miss Francois’s family devoutly believes in Catholicism.

   Combining the beliefs and preferences of both parties, Carmen put on a conservative dark green skirt today, abandoning all luxurious jewelry, and only decorated with a silver cross brooch.

   She curled up her head full of hair and pressed it into a beige, narrow-brimmed hat with a simple shape. The pure white veil covered her pretty face.

   Such a beautiful and courteous dress immediately won Nelson's favor.

   He smiled and greeted Miss Francois in his arms.

   "Mr. Drake, I’m Horatio~lightnovelpub.net~ Horatio Nelson, Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Navy."

   "Lorraine, Lorraine Drake, long-standing name, Lieutenant Colonel Nelson."

   The two smiled and shook hands. Carmen took a bottle of wine tied with a ribbon from the driver and handed it to Miss François.

   "This is the champagne of the French Pinot Noir Estate. I hope that friends who are far away from their homeland can smell the fragrance of the earth in Europe."

   Miss François' eyes lit up, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Pinot Noir, is it..."

uh-huh!

   Nelson coughed dissatisfiedly and interrupted Miss François.

   He frowned and looked at Lorraine: "Mr. Drake, the Pinot Noir champagne is too expensive, and it's not a proper courtesy."

"I'm a businessman, a businessman with decent profits." Lorraine looked back at Nelson without any concession. "Buying a door-to-door gift here is disrespectful to the owner, and there are only two kinds of wine on my boat. One is black. Pinot, the other is a low-quality wine for sailors. Lieutenant Colonel Nelson, do you have the heart to let my female companion come to the house with a huge oak barrel?"

   This answer was obviously beyond Nelson's expectation. He was stunned for a while, and then laughed blankly: "Uncle Odilan said well, you are a person who knows how to enjoy life, and your words are sharp."

Lorraine Xiaoxiao made a grimace: "However, only people who see it right are worthy of being unscrupulously true. If the Governor of Barbados is standing in front of me, I will only tell him that this wine is a new purchase in his winery. of."

   Nelson laughed.

   After laughing, he patted Lorraine on the shoulder: "I already smell the fragrance of Europe. Come in, my friend, Pinot Noir is the most beautiful in the world, let us kill it tonight."

   "It is better to be respectful than fate, my friend."
