"By the way, why hasn't Kaifani come here these two days? Actually, Claude, you and Kaifani are adults. Why don't we take care of your affairs while we still have some time at home?
Well, what do you think?" Mother turned to care about Claude's life events.
Claude's scalp was numb. The failed marriage in his previous life and his experience as a veteran driver made him really have a sense of distrust towards women and a fear of marriage. Even though Kaifani is indeed a good girl, her mother is very important.
The person he likes as his wife is also deeply in love with him. But he has no intention of getting married right now. Are you kidding me? I’m only eighteen. Besides, he’s about to join the army. It’s hard to predict what his future and life and death will be like.
, he didn’t want Kaifani’s future to be tied to him like this.
"Mother, Kaifani has been busy these two days reviewing the bills for building materials with housekeeper Lutheran. The 15th is coming soon. The salary of more than 1,000 people in the company has to be registered, and she has to go to the bank to coordinate financial preparations.
It will be distributed on time, so she is very busy and has no time to come to our house to play. As for my personal affairs, there is no rush now. If I become a second lieutenant and come back in three years, I will definitely do what you said.
Let's do it..." Claude could only deal with his mother in this way.
After finishing the meal, Claude cleared the tableware and table by himself. Mother took the account book upstairs and found a place to store it. This was the largest sum of money she had ever seen in her life, so she had to find a good place to hide it.
My sister Anna was playing on the grass in front of the villa with her brother Booker and the little snow dog. Claude called them all back. It was already dark, and there were a lot of mosquitoes and flies on the grass. If you were not careful, you would get a lot of small pimples.
, itchy and painful.
After playing with his brother Little Booker and the little Snow Dog for a long time, Claude took them into the bathroom and took a bath. It was already past nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock in the evening, and his mother also went to bed. He took his brother
He was also sent to lie down on the bed, and asked the little snow dog to lie beside the bed to accompany him. Then Claude went to the study. Soon, his sister Anna arrived as usual.
"Anna, how was the musketry practice today?" Because Claude was working overtime, my sister asked
Today, my mother drove the newly purchased carriage to pick her up. She also went to the open-air market to buy some ingredients and condiments.
"Today I shot twenty shots, and I hit fourteen of them on target." My sister replied with some pride.
"Not bad, keep it up." Claude took out a document bag from his backpack.
"Anna, I opened an account for you, and there are three thousand gold crowns in it. Remember, this is for you to buy magic materials in the future. If there is any emergency at home in the future, you can also withdraw money from here to help, but
You can't tell your mother, lest she hide you, do you understand what I'm saying?"
The younger sister nodded sensibly.
"Don't worry, I also opened an account for my mother. There are a thousand gold crowns and the rent of the big red brick house in it, which is enough for her to maintain the family expenses. In addition, I have inquired, but Albert doesn't know
Where did he go? It is said that he left Bailu Town on the day his father died. I don’t know if he will come home suddenly after I go out. You should pay attention at home. If he comes back, eat, drink and don’t pay attention to him.
, but don’t let him deceive mother’s bank account, do you understand what I mean?”
Sister Anna opened her big eyes and burst into tears: "Second brother, I don't want you to leave..."
Claude smiled and touched her head: "It's impossible not to leave, otherwise my brother will be arrested and sent to hard labor. Don't worry, I promise you, I will come back safely. You are also fifteen years old
, she will soon grow up to be a big girl. After I leave, the family will rely on you. My mother is not in good health, so you have to take better care of her."
"Well, I can drive a carriage. From now on, I can drive the carriage to school by myself without my mother picking me up." My sister nodded and said a little arrogantly, with tears still hanging on her face, looking a little ridiculous.
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his sister's face: "Okay, from now on you can drive the carriage that our family just bought to school. The mare I bought, Wendy, has a very docile character and is safer going up and down the mountain. Don't worry.
What happened?"
Claude handed the National Bank account book to his sister, and then handed her a bulging money bag: "Don't touch the money in the bank account now. You can use the alchemy magic after you become a first-circle rune mage."
If you need to buy some magic test materials, you can use them later. Remember how to buy those magic materials. This is why I ask you to study pharmacy. Many magic test materials and pharmacy test materials are
It’s universal. If you buy those magic test materials in the name of potion testing, no one will doubt that you know magic.”
"I remember." My sister nodded and opened the purse, with surprise on her face: "So many gold and silver coins..."
"Well, this is for your daily pocket money, worth thirty gold crowns." Claude said: "Keep some money around you at ordinary times, and occasionally treat your classmates to delicious food, that way it will be easier to make friends.
, you won’t be ostracized by your classmates in school. Save your money and don’t waste it lavishly because you think you have money, you know?”
"Humph, I'm not a child."
"After you go back to your room, find a place to hide your account book and money bag. Don't let Little Booker and Little Snow Dog discover them easily."
"One more thing," Claude opened the document bag again: "I purchased a piece of land in your name at the entrance of the old street, right next to the naval base, and prepared to build four buildings. I have already negotiated with Boa's
My father, Mr. Rubwell, had negotiated an agreement and entrusted him with full authority to build the building and then rent it out. The design and construction drawings and funds had been handed over to him.
In addition, all the shops on the first floor of the building facing the street have been pre-leased to him. He plans to move his family's business store there after the building is completed. From now on, he will pay the rent of the four buildings to you every year.
According to the account, these real estate documents have been notarized by the administrative center and are now given to you for safekeeping."
"Does mom know?" my sister asked, looking at the real estate documents in her hand.
Claude touched her head again and messed up her hair. The younger sister made a dissatisfied "hum" and turned her head to the side.
"Mom doesn't know about this." Claude said with a smile: "Don't forget what I just said, I bought the land in your name and built the four buildings in your name. Lubiwi and I
Mr. Er has made an agreement that he will take care of all the affairs of these four buildings until you are eighteen years old, and then hand them over to you when you become an adult, or you can continue to entrust him with the responsibility. If you want to get married when you grow up in the future
If you are a man, then these four buildings will become your dowry. Haha..."
"I don't want to get married!" My sister's ears turned red. Although she was very shy, she still held the real estate documents tightly in her hands. This was her personal property. In this world, this meant doing
For a girl, she no longer has to worry about her own living expenses in her whole life.
"You spent a lot of money, right? Second brother..."
It was a lot, nearly 4,000 gold crowns. Bailu Town was upgraded to a city, and there was a large-scale development plan. House prices and land prices almost tripled. The land Claude bought was public land, and it did not cost 500 gold crowns before.
Jin Kelang could win it, but now it cost more than 1,600. This was finally obtained through the dealings of Lieutenant Yus, the adjutant of Chief Felidos.
Then he entrusted Bockard's father, the big businessman Mr. Rubwill, to act as the sole agent. The capital for the construction of the building also amounted to more than two thousand gold crowns. The design and construction drawings were done by Claude himself, and he adopted the Huo style of his own big red brick house.
The only difference is that each apartment has two large balconies. People in this world also like to let the sun dry their quilts and clothes. Tenants in large red brick houses complain that they have no place to dry their things.
Claude is tired of hearing the words...
In this way, the miscellaneous expenses totaled nearly 4,000 gold crowns. He gave one thousand gold crowns to his mother and three thousand to his sister. Claude had more than one thousand gold crowns left in his bank account, which was enough for him to spend after joining the army. Even if
He can treat his comrades to feasts and drinks every day and live in style for a long time.
"It's okay, Anna. Your brother is rich. This is all dividends from the company's shares, legitimate income. It's already very late. Go back to your room and take your things back. Don't forget to practice meditation before going to bed.
"
"Well, second brother, I'm going back to the room." My sister left obediently.
Claude touched his face and listened to his sister's footsteps walking up the stairs. Then he bent down and took out a large black animal skin bag from under the bookcase next to him. He opened it, took out a black burqa and a face mask, and then
Take out a few bottles and jars and put them on the table.
First, take out a large ball of white grease from the bottle with the pig badger oil, then scoop out the colored seasonings from other bottles and jars and start stirring. When the mixture is evenly mixed, apply a little on the back of your hand to see if it takes long.
Claude mixed the appropriate paint.
Claude began to apply the brown pig-badger oil to his face, hands and all exposed skin. Soon, his skin became bronze and looked as if it had been exposed to water at sea.
Those sailors and sailors are like those who are exposed to wind, rain and sun.
Next is the hair, which requires a special alchemical potion. Fortunately, Claude has made a bottle based on the magic notes of Master Landers before. But what Claude doesn't understand is that in that era of magical civilization, Master Landers
Who was the refined hair dye alchemy potion for? Could it be that magicians at that time also had a hobby of dressing up and paying attention to appearance?
The hair that had been smeared with hair dye alchemy potion changed from brown-black to dark blonde. Claude cut off some hair and modified it slightly to form two beautiful mustaches. He put the fake beard on his lips and looked in the mirror.
Look, this time even my mother couldn't recognize that the mature man in front of her was Claude.
After putting on the leather shoes and trousers he took out of the black animal skin bag, putting on his burqa, putting on another backpack, and the bottle of whiskey he brought back, Claude secretly left the study and opened the door.
He slipped out of the cabin. His mother and brother were already asleep, and his sister might be practicing meditation. They didn't know that Claude had slipped out. However, the little snow dog with keen hearing whimpered a few times and scratched the bedroom door a few times.
The door, but it should have heard the noise made by Claude, and soon became silent.
After exiting the forest farm from the mountain road, Claude continued to follow the old route and entered the town smoothly. Since the naval base covered almost the entire slum area, whether it was the courtyard of Sister Catherine's two-story building or Julian's
This fat old man’s grocery store was all targeted for relocation. However, Director Felidos was inspired by the community project built by Normanli Real Estate Development Company, and directly designated a piece of wasteland outside the west gate of the town, preparing to build a number of simple buildings.
He received a wide reputation for housing the poor who had been forced to relocate.
However, the overall design plan of the naval base in the poor West District has not yet been released. The main reason is that the official in charge, Viscount Venisker, has an idea every day. The plan made today will be overturned by him tomorrow. Before this is decided, those who have nowhere to go
But the poor people still live here, but this community seems more deserted and quiet.
Claude is going to Lao Cai. The land of romance in Lao Cai is still there. Without the control of the Black Snake Society, this land of romance has become more lively and prosperous. After all, no street girl is willing to let the Black Snake Society have those bastards.
Of course, their service targets have now changed from the old customers in the town to the strong and powerful sailors of the navy fleet.
