There are no words to describe Claude's joyful mood when he met his family, but Claude was still startled when he entered the house. A big white dog half as tall as a man suddenly jumped out of the house, killing him.
Claude fell to the ground, and a big wet tongue licked Claude's face.
The big man Gemie who was following behind was also startled. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and prepared to come up to rescue Claude. Fortunately, Mike, who was behind him, could see clearly and knew that Claude was not in trouble.
It was the big white dog that was attacking, but it was the big white dog that was making out with Claude. Uncle Peg behind him was not surprised at all, he just called the big white dog's name loudly: "Pluto, get out of the way, don't pester your master."
"
Claude finally pushed the big white dog lying on him away. This was the little snow dog he brought home back then. He didn't expect that he would recognize him after not seeing him for five years. This was really an unexpected surprise.
But now that she's grown up, she's not as cute as she was when she was little.
When she heard the noise outside, her mother came out of the house. When she saw Claude sitting on the ground and the big white dog jumping around him, she was startled. She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, it's our Pluto's fault. I didn't hurt you."
Bar."
Claude grabbed the big white dog by the neck, shook it, and replied with a smile: "It's me, mother, I'm back, and Pluto is making out with me."
"Ah? Claude..." The mother was filled with surprise: "You, it's you, are you really back?"
Claude got up from the ground, and without even bothering to dust off his clothes, he took two steps forward and hugged his mother: "Mom, it's me, I'm really back."
The mother didn't speak anymore, she just cried with joy and hugged Claude tightly.
The big white dog didn't join in the fun at this time. Instead, it focused on Mike and the big guy who were following behind, circling around the two of them and getting closer to sniff them from time to time.
"Mom, who's here?" A clear voice rang out, and a beautiful woman with big eyes came out carrying a pan. She immediately saw Claude embracing his mother.
With a "bang", the pan fell to the ground. The big-eyed beauty stared at Claude: "Brother, brother, you are back..."
"Yeah, I'm finally back." Claude let go of his mother and walked into the restaurant holding her hand: "I didn't expect that the little one who was always crying would grow up and turn into such a beautiful girl.
A great beauty. Anna, you broke the pot in half, why don't you clean it up quickly?"
His younger brother Blovik, who was staying upstairs, heard the commotion downstairs and came down. The little chubby naughty boy he used to be has grown into a handsome young man after five years. Blovik is now almost fourteen years old.
Already a second-year student at Bailu City Elementary School, he was escorted to school by his sister Anna last year. For this, he was beaten several times by Anna, and finally got rid of his unwillingness to go to school.
Having not seen Claude for five years, Brovik was a little afraid of strangers at first. But soon he found the attachment in Claude that made him nostalgic and engraved in his memory. When he was a child, Claude was fond of
He has never forgotten the care and love he and Anna gave him. He will stay by Claude's side and refuse to leave. He insists on listening to Claude tell him about his experience of killing enemies on the battlefield.
Green Star was envious.
After saying hello to Claude's family, Michael Jack and the big man Gemie were busy carrying the carriage of things Claude bought from the carriage to their home. Fortunately, Claude had not left any traces on the outer packaging of these things.
Make a mark and make it clear who you gave it to. Some of the most important and valuable items were sent to the study on the second floor by Claude, which is where my sister Anna studies magic and conducts experiments on alchemical magic.
A corner of the restaurant was filled with these items. Mother, who was going to cook a big meal for Claude and the three of them, curiously asked Claude how much he had spent to buy these items. Claude didn't care.
To his mother's question, he answered frankly and honestly that he spent nearly 500 gold crowns. As a result, his mother almost had a heart attack. For the next two hours, she was condemned by her for wasting money and buying things indiscriminately.
Fortunately, his sister Anna went out to buy ingredients and came back quickly, which finally prevented her mother from complaining so much. Claude felt aggrieved. The family had money, why were they so fussy about it? Besides, it was spent on himself.
Qian, why is mother so angry?
Mother and sister Anna were busy in the kitchen for two hours, and finally made a meal that satisfied them to entertain two guests, Michael Jack and the big man Gemmy. By this time, Claude was already so hungry that he was weak.
At this moment, the mother didn’t know that McJack and Big Germi were actually Claude’s subordinates. They misunderstood and regarded McJack and Big Germi as Claude’s colleagues and friends, and they tried their best to do their best.
The reception was good enough to leave a good impression on the two of them, and also to take care of Claude in the army.
It was only when they were sitting down to eat that Michael Jack and the big man Germi were afraid to sit at the top. After Claude introduced them, they realized that these two young soldiers were still Claude's subordinates. They were orphans.
Even though they had a holiday, they had nowhere to go, so they accepted Claude's invitation to accompany Claude home to visit relatives. So his mother and sister Anna were full of sympathy and warmly welcomed them as guests at home...
Claude enjoyed the feast very much, and the big man Germi also showed off his endless belly. In the end, all the remaining food went into his stomach, and even Blovik reached out to touch his belly.
, very curious where all the food went.
During the meal, Claude only picked some interesting stories from the army to tell everyone. He even skipped over his meritorious service experience of how he was promoted to captain and received the knighthood medal. He didn't want his mother to know the risks he took on the battlefield.
The risks and bloody battles you experienced. The dining atmosphere was very harmonious, but my mother thought of my father and muttered a few words, saying that if my father were still alive, he would definitely be proud of your achievements, and the sadness was gone.
However, his sister Anna mentioned a long-lost name. To be honest, Claude almost forgot that he had a nominal eldest brother. If his sister Anna hadn't mentioned it, Claude would never have remembered that his name was Albert.
What does Te's eldest brother look like? But my mother is very proud, saying that Albert is now promising.
It turns out that the eldest brother named Albert has never been home in the past five years, but he did send two letters to his mother. The first letter said that he was currently serving an earl and was very busy.
, I didn’t have time to go home to visit my mother. The second letter was sent back at the same time as the first letter last year at the end of the year. It was rare that I included a gold dollar scroll worth ten gold crowns for my mother in the letter, saying that it was in the past few years.
He sent his savings to his mother so that she could buy some delicious food to replenish his body, and asked her to forgive him for the mistakes he had made in the past when he was ignorant...
This letter moved my mother to tears. It was her greatest joy that her eldest son, Albert, could turn back as a prodigal son. The ten-gold dollar scroll was even framed by her mother and placed on her bedside.
Whenever I see this gold dollar scroll, my mother will think of Albert and be very happy.
"Has mother replied to the letter?" Claude asked.
"Reply." Sister Anna replied: "My mother wrote several replies since she received the first letter, but Albert never replied. It was not until the second letter that he asked his mother not to send him a letter because he was
The earl was running around and was very busy. The letters he sent would not be received until he returned home at the end of the year. He was often laughed at by the earl's servants, so he asked his mother not to write any more replies. If he had anything to do, he would
He could write a letter to tell his mother, and there was no need for her mother to worry about him, so she didn’t write any more letters later..."
Claude just nodded, not caring about the situation of his nominal eldest brother. It's great that he is still alive and living a good life. Even if he encounters misfortune, Claude will not shed a tear for him. Anyway, between them
There is no brotherly love between them. And now the future of the Field family is in the hands of his younger brother Blovik. Even if the eldest brother comes back, he will not be able to change the world.
After dinner, it was Claude's turn to present the treasure. He should show his mother what he spent a huge sum of nearly five hundred gold crowns to buy. I think his father, Mr. Morsant, was bought by five hundred gold crowns.
Kron's debt forced him to commit suicide by jumping off a building to save his family. Now Claude spent the same amount of money to buy useless gadgets. In the eyes of his mother, this was simply a sign of treason.
"Mother, these are all antiques. Look at this set of twenty-eight pieces of gold and silver tableware. It has a history of more than 200 years and was made by Van Delon, the personal master of the 7th Grand Duke Limodra.
, it is said that this thing was found on the market after the butler of the current Grand Duke of Rimodra fled with a batch of things. I got a bargain and bought it for only half the price.
This nine-piece set of crystal-embellished gold-patterned tea sets was the most cherished item of Madame Dinia, the favorite concubine of the fourth Archduke Sidings more than 300 years ago. It is said that Madam Diniya loved to invite people to the table on sunny afternoons.
Two or three best friends were enjoying tea and smelling the fragrance in the garden. The famous oil painting "Mrs. Diniya's Afternoon Tea" has this crystal tea set on the table..."
In fact, the most valuable antiques Claude bought were these two sets. He thought they were genuine. But the owner of the small stall selling these two sets of treasures did not think so. The main reason was that these two sets were imitations on the market.
There were too many knockoffs of antique treasure sets, so he didn't think these two sets were genuine, only that the imitations were more accurate.
But Claude opened the Eye of Exploration, and from the perspective of magic, the treasures that have truly experienced the precipitation of time are completely different from the imitations, so Claude did not expect that he would have such luck at the time, encountering a mixed bag of goods.
Since they were the real masterpieces among the counterfeit goods, I stopped bargaining with the boss. With the boss looking at someone who was being taken advantage of, I agreed to the high price that the boss thought he was right and bought these two sets of precious antiques.
"Mom, I have asked someone to appraise them. These two sets are genuine antiques with a market value of nearly a thousand gold crowns, so I only spent one-third of the price to buy them and have already made a lot of money." Claude replied calmly.
Mother's suspicion.
"But, but this is too precious." The mother eliminated her suspicion, but became a little at a loss: "It's too uncomfortable to leave it at home. What if someone finds out that it has been stolen? I will still do it at night in the future.
We have to hire someone to keep vigil..."
"It's not necessary, just collect them carefully. I think these two sets of antiques can become the heirlooms of our Field family. This is the family's heritage. Little Booker can pass it on to his descendants in the future." Claude didn't care.
In his eyes, the value of these two sets of antique treasures was not as interesting as the magic items he bought on the black market.
The next few antiques were all gifts for family members. My mother got a ruby necklace, which was said to have come from a noble family in the Duchy of Sidings. My sister Anna got a diamond corolla, which belonged to a marquis of a certain duchy.
My daughter's birthday gift has been stolen for a long time. My younger brother Brovik received a gold-inlaid scimitar. It is said that it was a coming-of-age gift from the Grand Duke of Karnus to a certain married nobleman in the Duchy of Eskilen. It should have been given by a certain
The soldiers of the kingdom were sold on the black market for shiny gold coins...
What Claude bought for himself was the shotgun made by the Baroness's father, a famous gun master. In addition, he also bought a set of fifty-six fine silver tableware for his family, which he would use for banquets at home in the future.
The customers are also more respectable. This fine set of silver tableware is not an antique, but a custom-made fine product. It should be an item left behind in the home of a noble in a certain principality. It was seized by the soldiers of the kingdom and then hidden away and sold on the black market.
Just because these things come in sets and need to be carefully kept, the packaging is very thick and must be shock-proof during transportation. This is why the entire compartment of the two-purpose carriage is filled to the brim. For Claude
He said that although he spent nearly 500 gold crowns, the actual price was more than 1,500. There were also several magic items that he took upstairs, which he could not buy even if he had money.
Having found and bought it on the black market, Claude already felt very lucky.
Next, my mother took matters into her own hands, and together with her sister, she rewrapped the two sets of genuine antiques one by one and put them back in the box. Then she asked Claude to take them to the third floor and put them in her mother's room. I don't know what mother will do in the future.
Can you sleep well? If your mother suffers from insomnia, then Claude will be guilty of a great crime.
As for the set of fifty-six fine silverware, sister Anna decided to go to the furniture workshop to order a display cabinet tomorrow and put it in the dining room. It can be used at any time when entertaining guests, which is convenient and can be shown off. At this time, Chloe
Decai discovered that Mr. Lubiwell, Bockaar's father, was right. It was his sister Anna who made the decision in the family now, and her mother had no say in these matters.
After doing all this, the next thing to consider is the issue of accommodation. Now the small attic is the private world of younger brother Blovik. The third floor is the mother's bedroom and the sister's boudoir. Albert's former room on the second floor can be used
As a residence for Mike and the big man, Claude could only use the former study room, which is now the floor of his sister Anna's pharmacy studio.
The mother and sister went to the second floor to tidy up the room, while Claude, Michael Jack and the big man Germi were led by their younger brother Blovik to go shopping on the street to see if there were any clothing stores still open and prepare to give themselves three
People buy some casual clothes so they don't have to wear military uniforms all the time on vacation.
