Chapter 3 The big red brick house

Chapter 3 Big Red Brick House

For Claude now, his father Morsan's harsh words and complaints about his grandfather are meaningless. No one can expect a child who has never left Bailu Town within a hundred miles until he is twenty-five or six years old.

How much insight the young farmer has.

In fact, a farmer who has not eaten yet, and whose survival is always threatened by hunger and poverty, will not think about titles, titles, official positions and other ethereal rewards that have nothing to do with him. He only has bread.

, real things like houses are the greatest wealth in his eyes.

You must know that the largest amount of money his grandfather Hasby had seen before was a few silver coins in the hands of the tavern owner. The largest official he had ever dealt with was the tax collector and steward of the baron of White Deer Town, and from time to time

He needs to be whipped several times.

So when he asked His Highness the Prince for the Luo Techman Mansion, he had summoned up all his courage, and at the same time he was ready to be whipped again. In the eyes of young Husby, this Hogo-style mansion

The building is the most beautiful red brick house he has ever seen. When he was very young, he often watched from afar the arrogant nobles and the gorgeous ladies going in and out of this house in gorgeous carriages.

In the mansion, laughter and music floated out from inside from time to time.

At that time, little Husby thought that this beautiful big red brick house was what his parents called paradise. He had no worries about food and clothing, not to mention the cold winter. When he grew up, his wish was to go there.

I worked as a handyman in the big red brick house. Unfortunately, the baron never hired servants in the small town.

Prince Kargat agreed to Husbi's request, which was like the sound of nature to Husbi, and he was so excited that he almost fainted on the spot.

True to his word, the prince immediately ordered the garrison soldiers to leave the most luxurious mansion in the town, taking only the captured weapons and some documents with them. Even the belongings left by the fiefdom baron family were left to Hasby.

Hasby wandered alone in this most sacred palace in his mind like a sleepwalker, with silver tableware and candlesticks, crystal wine glasses and crystal lamps, gilded door handles and gold picture frames of oil paintings on the walls, velvet curtains and wool carpets.

, as well as a box full of gold and silver coins on the table, all of which belong to him alone from today...

Prince Kargat only stayed in White Deer Town for three days before hurriedly leaving with his armed team to fight for the revival of the kingdom. Hasby did not follow the team because, firstly, the injury on his waist had not healed, and secondly,

It was because he couldn't bear to leave the big red brick house he had just acquired, and he didn't trust anyone to take care of it.

"If your grandfather could have a broader vision instead of staying in the town and being a guard dog, then following Prince Kargat to fight everywhere, maybe our family would own a noble manor in the royal capital and be granted a title.

, I don’t have to stay in this small town anymore.”

When Mr. Morsan said this to his children, he forgot one of the most important prerequisites, that is, his father was lucky enough to survive the kingdom's civil war that lasted for more than three years. You must know that the White Deer Town Stone Sentinel recruited by the prince

There were 484 musketeers on the post and 28 recruits recruited in the town. In the early stages of the civil war, when the prince was defeated, almost all of them died. By the time the prince ascended the throne, only ten were still alive.

One person, but these survivors were all given knighthoods. The worst ones were also knights, and were also given family estates.

When these survivors later returned home in fine clothes to visit relatives and friends, they caused a sensation in Bailu Town and the three southwest counties. People only remembered the glory and wealth obtained by these survivors, but forgot the numerous bones and bones that died on the battlefield and the tears of their families.

.

The same is true for Mr. Morsanne. People who have never experienced the battlefield can only talk about military affairs and have no idea of ​​the cruelty of war. He thinks that his father is a coward and incompetent person who is satisfied with the small wealth in front of him and wastes his destiny.

Giving him the best opportunity to change his life, the Field family can only stay in White Deer Town and cannot go further.

In a sense, Claude's grandfather Husby was an honest farmer and a good man. When he won the prince's award, he became the owner of the Rodman Mansion, the most beautiful red brick house in the town.

After the news of the new owner spread, almost all the people in White Deer Town came to visit him, flatter him, and praise him. Even without Husby himself knowing it, he became the number one warrior in White Deer Town.

It was he who rushed into the mansion and eliminated hundreds of vicious enemies...

Since his parents died young, Husby welcomed the visits of these relatives, friends and neighbors, and every time he entertained them warmly and held a banquet. Just like what he fantasized about when he was a child, the big red brick house was full of joy.

Wine and barbecue...

As a result, most of Husby's wealth was quickly lost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the silver tableware and crystal wine glasses in the house were also missing. When Husby was inspecting his house one day, he discovered those rooms.

The woolen carpets were gone, the portraits were torn down, and the gold frames were missing. Even the velvet curtains on many windows had been cut off in half, as well as the gilded door handles and brass door locks.

Gone, leaving only black holes...

Husby was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly realized, he began to close the door and thank the guests, and at the same time collected all the valuable things at home.

The big red brick house was too big for Husby. In addition to the four attics side by side at the top, there were four suites on each of the third and second floors below. Each suite had three rooms plus its own

Bathroom and bathroom, while the first floor is a hall and a dining room, two kitchens, three utility rooms and warehouses, as well as four servant rooms and a public bathroom.

For Husby, just cleaning the entire house is a heavy burden. It would take three days and two nights for him to clean the entire house. But the big red brick house was in decay with no one to take care of it.

It happened very quickly. After just over a year, the house started to look a little dilapidated. The corners were covered with moss, vines had climbed up on several window sills, and the tiles on the roof had not been painted. I don’t know why.

Sometimes it leaks...

After experiencing a sharp decline in his property, Hassibi became a little paranoid. He was unwilling to hire help to clean for fear that his property would be stolen again. After thinking about it, he decided to find a wife and marry her.

He guarded the home together. So he set his sights on the miller's only daughter, Molly Miller.

Faced with the teasing of the first warrior of White Deer Town, the young and newly wealthy Hasby, Molly, who is chubby, big-assed and big-breasted, easily took the bait. Nineteen-year-old girls are at the age where they love fantasy. Hasby

He is the Prince Charming in Molly's mind.

The miller Carmento Miller was one of the few people in the town who looked down upon Husby. He thought that Husby was just a lucky upstart. He hoped to find a son-in-law who would inherit his property after his death.

Mill, giving his precious only daughter a life of food and clothing.

So the miller flatly rejected Husby's proposal to ask the tavern owner to propose to his daughter. He said that Husby was not an honest and brave man. If Husby was really the number one warrior in White Deer Town, then he should go there at this time.

Join Prince Kargat's team and fight bloody battles on the battlefield instead of guarding his big red brick house here.

In addition, Husby's reputation during this period was very bad. People said that he had become stingy and stingy. The miller was worried that his precious daughter would become like a maid when she got married. He would be busy cleaning the big red brick house all day long and suffer...

This is a father's true love for his daughter, but when the miller returned to the mill and found the naked Hasby and his daughter on the wheat straw next to the blue and white stone millstone, he knew that everything was too late, and the dough had already entered the mill.

Bread was baked in the oven, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could only wish his daughter to find true love, otherwise he and his daughter would become a joke in the town if the news spread.

Under the auspices of the priest of the Temple of the Moon, the miller's daughter Molly Miller became the mistress of the big red brick house. The miller soon found that his worries had become a reality, and his daughter was wearing a maid outfit in the big red brick house.

Be busy all day long.

"You can't go on like this. No matter how much money you have, it will be used up one day if you can only make ends meet. And you don't have children yet. When Molly gives birth to a child, the family's expenses will be even greater. You must

You must have a job that makes money to ensure that you can survive in the future." The miller said to his son-in-law earnestly.

Husby thought for a long time: "How about I buy some fields?"

The miller looked at him with disdain: "Do you think you can still afford a hoe now?"

Husby was ashamed. After enjoying the blessings, he really could no longer endure the life of a farmer living in the open air.

"How about I go to your place to help?" Hasby said to his father-in-law.

"No need, I can still work now, at least I can still do it for more than ten years." The miller was very angry: "You have a wooden head, you don't know how to pick up gold coins when they are put in front of you? Think about your red bricks

Don’t you have any feelings about the big house?”

"House, what's wrong with the house?" Husby immediately became alert.

"I have no idea of ​​your big red brick house." The miller quickly distanced himself: "Don't be nervous, I mean, your house has so many rooms, which is really too much for you and Molly.

It’s too big. Have you never thought of using these rooms to make money for yourself?”

"Earn money? How to make money using these rooms?" Hasby was confused.

"Alas..." The miller sighed. His son-in-law was really clueless, so he simply explained to him directly: "I mean, Husby, you can use your big red brick house to open a high-end hotel.

.Think about it, this house was originally the mansion of Baron Rodman, and it has always been very famous. All the people who came in and out of this house back then were high-class people, and everyone was very curious about everything in this house.

If you change this house into a high-end hotel, then there will definitely be many people coming, and they also want to experience what the baron's daily life is like. Then you can sit at home and relax

You have made money, and every visitor who comes to your door is like a wallet that gives you gold and silver coins. In the future, when you are old and can no longer work, you can leave this high-end hotel to your children and grandchildren. This will be a century-old job.

An industry that can be passed down.”

Husby was tempted, and his father-in-law described to him a great and promising career, especially the miller's advice at the end: "Believe me, Husby, you won't regret this. I'll wait for you."

A hundred years from now, your descendants will definitely be proud of you..."

So Husby decided to adopt the miller's suggestion and transform his beloved red brick house into a high-end hotel...
