Poor Lieutenant Miller, the first "job" he received after becoming Adjutant John was to help him move. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn mid-April, Adele is moving to Alexandria with her children. Moving is not an easy task in any era, and with Adele with two children, John can't afford to ignore it anyway.

During this time, John was at his busiest. Coupled with the fact that there was also a Pop who had been holding back to find fault with him, John really couldn't be distracted for a while. Washington said that Mary and Grandma Susan were there and could help take care of it. The point is that Alexander's new house needs to be cleaned up, and John is ready to cheekily ask Hamilton to find someone to help, and suddenly finds Miller idle. How can you not use such a good free labor.

After receiving a call from Miller that day and learning that he could not report until the 6th at the latest, John told Adele the "good news". Let her take care of the beginning and end of Washington's side with peace of mind, and he has his own arrangements on Alexander's side.

After two days of doing nothing in the bachelor apartment, Miller finally received instructions to drag his suitcase to John's home in Washington. As soon as he entered the door, Miller was shocked. Compared with his own small suitcase, this scene in front of me is a veritable "move".

"Hello, Mrs. Vanderbilt. I'm Miller. Struggling to make his way around the large and small boxes stacked in the courtyard, Miller stepped forward to greet Adele.

"Hello, Lieutenant Miller. Come on in, you've been so hard this time. Adele hugged little Eric who had just woken up and welcomed Miller in.

"Mary, pour tea for Lieutenant Miller." Adele greeted Miller warmly: "The truck driver has half an hour to arrive, you can rest for a while and have some refreshments." ”

"No, no, Mrs. Vanderbilt. Is there anything I can do right now? Adele, who is still breastfeeding, exudes the charm of a mature woman all over her body, and the charm she exudes between her gestures makes Miller, an innocent little brother, blush.

Glancing at the helpless Miller, Adele smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, Miller." You'll make it your home. John said you were a trustworthy lad, and you would call me Adele henceforth, and Mrs. Vanderbilt would make me feel like an old grandmother. ”

"Alright, alright, Adele." Miller was now red from the roots of his ears, but he sat down on the couch and picked up the black tea that Mary had poured.

"We're not going to go to Louisiana with too much luggage this time, so there's a lot of stuff to buy over there." As she spoke, Adele took out a long shopping list: "I'll write you a check later, and I'll have to work hard for you to help us buy all the things on this list." ”

Miller took the list and felt a little dizzy just by looking at it. I had heard that Colonel Vanderbilt was a rich man, and he was really "rich". There were already so many boxes at the door, and they said they didn't have much luggage.

At this time, little Ella came down the stairs in a hurry. "Mommy, Mommy. Can I give my piano to Linda? She also always wanted a Steinway, and we could buy a new one when we got to our new home. ”

"No, it will take half a year to customize a Steinway, and you don't plan to practice in the past few months, right?" Adele saw through Ella's careful thinking at a glance and "ruthlessly" rejected her daughter's proposal.

"But I've already told Linda." Little Ella pouted and pleaded.

"Well, you can give Linda that Steinway upright piano from Long Island Villa back. The recumbent piano at home is too big for Linda's room. ”

After coaxing little Ella, Adele writes Miller another check for $500. Miller couldn't care about the "luxurious" life of John's family anymore. Thousands of dollars of custom Steinway pianos are said to be given away, and spending $500 to furnish a new home or something is really nothing to fuss about.

Always careful and careful, he took out a pen and paper and began to ask Adele in detail one by one what special requirements and preferences she had for the items she wanted to purchase. By the time the FedEx truck driver and porter arrived, he had several pages in his notebook.

Naturally, Miller did not need to intervene in the work of loading, and FedEx came to a group of strong men. Being able to serve the honorable "Goddess Adele", these FedEx employees were highly motivated, and soon filled the cargo boxes of that truck.

After checking the luggage list repeatedly, Miller also followed the driver into the car. He would escort the luggage all the way to John's new home in Atlanta. Before leaving, Adele handed Miller another large bag. It contained a few reference books that John had asked for, food that Adele had prepared for them on the road, and an Easter gift from little Ella to John, an Easter egg she had made herself in kindergarten.

There were no highways, and the two-and-a-half-ton Ford truck wasn't the road-heavy trucks of later generations, so driving all the way from Washington, D.C. to Alexandria was no easy task. But for Miller, what made him feel even more uncomfortable was the bearded chatty driver next to him, Rondo.

"Lieutenant Miller, huh. Are you a relative of Mr. Vanderbilt? As soon as he hit the road, Rondo opened up the conversation, and Miller was overwhelmed by all kinds of questions.

"Adjutant, isn't the adjutant the secretary? How do you have to take care of the move?"

"How old are you?" “27？” "Are you married?" "Is there a target?" "Why didn't you ask Lady Adele to introduce you to one?"

"By the way, which unit are you from?" "82 Division? It's Sergeant York's division, right? The radio has been full of his news for the past two days. ”

"I'll tell you, I joined the army in the last world war. But I haven't been to Europe, so I'm only on the East Coast. If I go to Europe, I might be able to get a medal or something. I'm not blowing, and my marksmanship is definitely no worse than those sharpshooters. They were all trained by hunting when they were young, and at that time the family was poor, and if they didn't hunt, they wouldn't have meat to eat......"

"You're lucky to have a good boss. The Vanderbilts were very good people, especially Mrs. Adele. Let me tell you, when there was a hurricane in New England in '38, our house collapsed. Mrs. Adele personally went to the hospital to send us condolences money. Last year, my second son went to college, and she also helped write letters of recommendation. It's a shame they're moving to Louisiana. You say that Mr. Vanderbilt is a good company owner, so why should he join the army? ”

"Miller, Miller? Why don't you speak? Asleep? We're not out of the SAR yet......"

While Miller endured Rondo's language offensive all the way, John, the "good guy" in Rondo's mouth, was secretly doing something not so authentic. A bunch of "unscrupulous" reporters are digging a hole for poor Colonel Pope under his command.

Recently, Pope, who has been talking eloquently in front of reporters every day, never dreamed that he had fallen into the trap designed by John. The Venus that Pope had fought for most of his life had drifted away from him as his name appeared more and more in the media.
