There is a mess in Lucy Manor.

There are servants and slaves decorating the festival everywhere, and the still green lawn is full of children chasing dumb turkeys.

Christmas trees, colored 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 Offi, who aspires to become the world's number one butler.

The sense of responsibility requires her to check the position of each piece of decoration, master the status of every detail, and ensure that everything is perfect.

However, true perfection will never come, because the host of this grand Christian festival has been determined to be a heretic, a complete heretic.

This is the greatest disaster.

Ofi allowed himself to be frustrated for a few seconds. A few seconds later, the strong Miss Ireland straightened up again and called out to the yard.

"Monica! Dear Monica, is the dinner planned for today? Suddenly there are so many guests these days, the kitchen should adapt. It cannot postpone dinner until midnight snack time like yesterday! What a rude!"

"It's all ready, Ofi!" Monica stretched her head from the back of the house, her face still covered with delicate flour, "With my mother sitting in town, you just need to rest assured!"

"But you said the same yesterday!"

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

"Finlier! Tell the Indians to pull out those scary Totem Poles! If you have guests these days, you are not allowed to hold your celebration! No!"

"Yes, Miss Butler!" Fenrir narrowed his mouth uninterestingly, and hurried to tell the people to stop the bonfire party tonight.

"And...and..."

Offi was thinking, there was a high-pitched cheer from Sa Huan's children. The children screamed and ran towards the beach. The guests from Offi's mouth also brought them out, greeting each other and looking in the same direction.

Lorraine came back, and together with all his seamen, for the first time appeared in Lucy Manor in a fully loaded posture.

The tall Karen was thrown in place by three or two boys without taking two steps. Behind the boys were the girls, and behind the girls were many adult men and women, surrounded by a pair of vigorous old men and women.

Karen looked at them blankly, puzzled, at a loss, surprised, unbelievable.

"Ship... Captain?"

Lorraine smiled and pushed him: "I will take a holiday for you to reunite with your family on Christmas last year, but this year we are in the New World, even if you have a two-month holiday, you may not have time to meet your family."

"So before I went to Boston, I wrote to Ramos, asking Northwest to seek the opinions of each of your family members and invite them to the Christmas Annual Meeting. As you can see, your parents, seven siblings and their families, There are three nephews and nieces who want to see you."

"A long voyage across the sea, even if Ramos took care of it, they would have suffered a lot. Go ahead."

"This...this..." The tall Karen ran into the crowd with red eyes, dull, and slammed 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 much larger than the Bell Dock in Lossymouth, and it even has a first-class dock..."

A group of people laughed and walked away, Bell whistling through his waistband.

"Obviously, I miss it too much, but except for the children, everyone is keeping a distance. Father and son, husband and wife are no exception. They are indeed Finns."

"Northern Europe is bitterly cold, and people all have problems with self-reliance, and they will be at ease if they are farther away. If they are too close, they won't be able to feel the joy of reunion with all their heart."

"Is this the surprise you said?"

Lorraine smiled slightly: "How does the Christmas surprise feel?"

Bell shrugged his shoulders: "It's also a loss that your branch of commerce can find such a big family together."

"The Karen family is not difficult to find." Lorraine pointed to the family. "His parents often use a small dock on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The eldest brother inherits the family business, and the eldest sister is married to a colleague in the same town. The rest is old. Third, the fifth and sixth are working in the Chamber of Commerce. Yaomei only 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: "How come it sounds like you are taking care of it?"

"This family does not need to be deliberately taken care of. The family history is there. Karen's parents have cultivated each child very well. All that is needed is an opportunity."

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

"My God, little Pierce! The most outstanding young man of our Attis family has grown up this way?"

Watching little Pierce stand shyly in front of a pair of three-looking peasant family, Bell opened his mouth.

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

"This matter..." Lorraine touched her nose embarrassedly. "When I went through the guardianship procedures, I didn't know that Pierce had a relative alive. He didn't tell me that he had an aunt and that until we left for the New World. A cousin of the same age."

"cousin?"

Lorraine poked at the quiet little girl who was holding Pierce's corner, and whispered to gossip.

"His aunt is a snobby woman. As soon as Pierce and I got on the ship, I asked the gentleman in town to take possession of Pierce’s property and shops. Later, I heard that Pierce had become the vice president and shareholder of a large chamber of commerce. That girl is engaged to Pierce."

"Pierce refused?"

"It was the little girl who refused." Lorraine grinned. "Now the aunt's family is a dealer of handmade tapestries in the Chamber of Commerce. There are six to seven hundred pounds a year in transaction volume, which is enough to keep them in good food and clothing. But the little girl gave up the church. At the school, I found Ramos’s wife and applied to study at the Chamber of Commerce School. I heard that she was excellent in character and learning."

Bell laughed lasciviously: "Why do I think that Pierce will sooner or later fall into the tender country of an excellent cousin?"

"You're not alone." Lorraine was full of the old father's tone. "In fact, everyone on the ship felt so."

After Karen and Pierce, the families of the seamen gathered together.

On the left are Carmen and his parents, a couple of squires who look rather weak.

Carmen's father is persuading his excellent daughter.

"Carmen, Sir Alfonso divorced your cousin a year ago, and God still refuses to give them children. Sir Alfonso has been to the house several times and helped us solve several problems, including your brother..."

"What trouble is my timid brother who dare not go out to sea? I am jealous with others, but flinches at the juncture of the duel?"

Carmen was clearly right.

Her father changed the subject with a black face: "Your brother's matter has been solved by the jazz with prestige, and you don't need to worry about it! Carmen, I want to talk about the jazz, and the jazz keeps mentioning you several times, and he never forgets you... …"

"Father, please let that noble knight give up!" Carmen took his mother's hand and interrupted his 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 no more than two thousand to three thousand pounds can't support me." Carmen laughed disdainfully. "Father, the world is different. A desolate black port can't hold me. A short-sighted country squire is not good enough for me. I cannot be supported by an industry of tens of thousands of pounds. Your daughter has seen the vastness of the world, and in this vast world, I am alive and well."

Carmen's father was completely suppressed, and only the dignity of a father was left, insisting: "You...but you are a girl..."

"Mother, can you go to my room? I have prepared several sets of new dresses for you. They are all authentic Oriental embroidery, the most expensive fabrics, and each set is worth more than one hundred pounds. There are also jewelry, you have seen fists. A big ruby? I got it from an auction in New Orleans four months ago, and it was only 1,600 pounds. If you want me to say, most gentlemen have no eyes..."

On the right hand side, is the special performance of Acharin.

Lorraine heard that his family is a small businessman in Porto, but the situation is obviously not in line with it.

Acharin's father was wearing a tuxedo with a new stiff tuxedo, supporting his short and chubby figure, and he was holding a lady in a gorgeous dress by his side, and a shy beauty stood behind him.

Acharin's eyes were a little straight.

"Father……"

"Azha, I received the gold coins you sent home a few months ago. They saved the Desais house. No! You saved the Desais house 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 not working." The fat father waved his hand. "The sixty-eight thousand pounds of indemnity will make the family's piece of tile worthless, so your uncle thought of you and wanted to use me to make peace for them and stretch the indemnity to ten to ten. It will be paid off in fifteen years."

"I thought, how could I have such a face? But unable to withstand your uncle's request, I went to Southampton."

"Who knows that the Offshore Guild actually agreed. The compensation period was extended to ten years, with an annual interest of 5% of the total amount 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 money, your uncle was going to sell a vineyard outside Porto, but he was maliciously squeezed."

"Your uncle was upset because he turned down the Nallo's purchase request, and even your cousin Cecilia's marriage contract was returned politely."

"You know? That's the cousin Cecilia you've loved but dared not pursue since you were young! Of course I'm angry, but you just happened to send another three thousand pounds. I bought the manor for a thousand pounds!"

Acharin was stunned by the mellow and frustrated long speech, and when he heard the eight thousand pounds, his spirits shook sharply.

"Wait! Father, where are you from eight thousand pounds!"

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

"The contract is fake?"

"Really, and notarized by God."

"But where are you from eight thousand pounds!"

"That..." The fat father scratched his head embarrassedly, "I've done it. You sent the money in September, which is half a year in the New World. You made more than 3,000 yuan, so I paid 3,000 yuan first. , The remaining five thousand will be paid off within one year, and you will surely be able to do it."

Impression Ria Charin has never made such a tragic expression of married father and mother: "No... wait a minute! Why do you want me to pay for your vineyard!"

"This is not a simple manor!" The fat father said dissatisfied, "you know? This is your face and Desai's face!"

"After the contract was reached, the elders of the family immediately adjusted your succession rank to 11th. Even your uncle said that during the war, allowing you to join the Drake Chamber of Commerce was the most correct choice in his life~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Franchise? Is he crazy? When did he..."

"More than that! Didn't you see that we came to bring your cousin Cecilia this time? You are almost 30, and she has reached 16 this year, your uncle said, since you have always liked her , Let you get married in the New World, anyway, this is also the place where God shines!"

"Cheng... get married?!"

Until then, the shy beauty behind the fat father raised his head, his eyes flowed and his brows were full of spring.

"Cousin~~~"

"I don't want to get married!" Yacharin yelled up to the sky, "I don't want to get married! Father, I will give you the five thousand pounds immediately. If you ask me to borrow three thousand, I will send you away! Get my cousin away, please , Get Cecilia away!"

Acharin begged bitterly, but everything was too late.

As soon as he heard that he could easily draw out another five thousand pounds, the cousin saw the love of spring even worse, and turned directly to offense. A beautiful waltz took Acharin's arm step by step.

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

"God! Have you done anything wrong with your clean body!!!"
