Chapter 11: The New Nobleman (3)
The new arrival, Viscount Connery, was strange.
Not only did he hire the Lake brothers to renovate his mansion, but he also paid 100 louis in advance, and another 100 when it was finished.
He also signed a contract with the Lake brothers, and had never heard of such a thing happen to a nobleman.
I heard that he also ordered his servants to cut down more than half of the fruit trees, although the tangerines are not worth much, it is really crazy to do so, what is it that the mountains don't plant this? Why didn't the Cleveland butler stop him?
Well, that's really Connelly's.
The inhabitants of Vichy were full of controversy, and they all agreed that the nobleman was probably not good at running the family.
However, when they saw that the Lake brothers brought back all kinds of construction and decoration materials from the city from time to time, and their faces were full of joy at work, they were a little uneasy, and the money earned by the two brothers was real money, and they came forward to ask if their brothers needed manpower.
The Lake brothers put on a good shelf and picked a few diligent and honest helpers to be their helpers.
The rose garden was tossed by the contractor brother Lake during the day, and Sean simply took his rifle up the mountain.
The mountains and forests are really rich in wild things, and Sean is like running into a zoo, scourging wild animals. In the dense forest, gunshots were heard from time to time.
In a short time, two civilians appeared in front of him with angry expressions on their faces.
"Sir, this is the Robinson family's mountain forest, please leave here. The first one said that if it weren't for Sean's dress not like a poacher, they probably wouldn't be so polite.
"Oh, you belong to the Robinson family?" asked Sean.
"Yes, we are the Robinson Guardians. He replied, "Sir, can you leave your name so that we can return to our master." ”
"Oh, I'm Sean Connery. "Sean has no consciousness at all when he is caught stealing.
Obviously, these two people also knew who they were, and they were more respectful on the surface, anyway, Sean was also a nobleman.
"Lord Viscount, for your honor, please return. The mountain keeper said politely, but the meaning was very tough.
This is like being caught cheating on exams when I was a child in my previous life, and it was very embarrassing. Sean touched his nose and sneered:
"I'm sorry, I thought this belonged to the Connery family. ”
Back in the rose garden, Sean felt that he was too embarrassed, and without the permission of this neighbor, outsiders couldn't even pick up a piece of firewood, and his desire to buy Rocky Mountain back was even more determined.
But the Robinson family was wealthy, even though the beautiful countess owed him a fatal favor.
However, he was not deflated, and in the afternoon the Countess's butler Miller arrived, and he also brought over the prey that Sean had killed on the mountain and brought back in the future.
Miller speaks beautifully:
"I heard that His Excellency the Viscount forgot to bring his prey back, and I scolded the two mountain guards of the family, who were very rude and disturbed the Viscount's Yaxing.
The Countess was very sorry when she heard of this, and as a neighbor, especially Your Excellency, who had saved the lives of the Robinson family, she said that Your Excellency could go into the mountains to hunt at any time if you were interested. ”
Sean was a little embarrassed to hear this: "Thank you Countess for your kindness, please express my gratitude to her on my behalf." ”
Miller added: "Our lady said that half of Mount Rocky had belonged to the Connery family for generations, and in gratitude to the Viscount, the Robinson family was willing to return this half to the Connery family at the original price. ”
Sean couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, Cleveland said that this large area of mountains and forests was worth at least 70,000 louis, but the countess said that it would be redeemed at the original price sold by the old viscount, that is, about 45,000 louis.
In other words, the countess probably didn't want to owe him a favor and wanted to buy it out all at once, a deal that made it difficult for Sean to refuse.
"Thank you, Countess! Thank you, the Robinson family!" said Sean.
Of course, he is not pretentious and accepts it happily.
Cleveland was so excited that he burst into tears. This is the first time in many years that the family has added real estate.
"It seems that His Excellency the Viscount needs to hire a few mountain guards, and there will always be commoners who will sneak into the mountain to take advantage of the nobles. Miller smiled knowingly.
"That's true. ”
As the house is being renovated, Sean entertains Miller under a large banyan tree in the front yard.
Looking at the few leaves floating in the porcelain bowl, Miller's brows furrowed, what the hell is this?
"It's a premium drink with the name 'tea'. Sean began to flicker, "This is a high-end product, very medicinal and health value, it can refresh, reassure, relieve stress, reduce cerebrovascular diseases, and have the effect of sterilization." You know, I'm the inventor of the Connell sterilization method, and the science is a very serious matter. Besides, do you sometimes feel low on energy and dizzy?"
"It was, the doctor said I was too tired. Miller replied honestly.
"Then you need to drink a few drinks a day, I promise it will be good for you. Sean laughed.
Miller didn't know what to expect, and picked up the porcelain bowl, and saw that the emerald green leaves were extremely lovely, and smelled a faint fragrance.
He tried to take a sip, but it was not as unpleasant as he thought, but on the contrary, it was somewhat fragrant and sweet, and it was refreshing.
Miller's butler sat for a while and then got up to say goodbye, and when he left, Sean also gave him a little bit, mainly because he fried too little by himself, and the craftsmanship was not perfect, and he wasted a lot, so he was very reluctant.
His attitude made Miller feel that this tea was more expensive than gold.
"My lord, is this tea really so good?" Cleveland couldn't help but ask, seeing off the guests.
"Of course. Sean said, "Butler, what do you say would happen if the whole Europa drank this tea?"
"This ...... It can't be, right?" Cleveland opened his mouth.
Sean snapped his fingers:
"I have a plan, don't Emma have a few relatives who have nothing to do? You come forward and hire all her relatives to pick fresh leaves first, this work only needs women, men can't do it.
Then I stir-fry it the same way I fry the tea leaves. I'm going to have to give some of this high-end goods to the big guys in Holy City.
Also, tell Jensen to take charge of the transplantation, and I'll give him a gold louis for every plant that is live, and if one dies, I'll starve him. ”
