Friday, June 21, 1624.

The heavy rain that had lasted all day had finally passed, but it had only been a few hours since the rain ended, and the weather in the Azores was as dry as ever.

The flying scissors merchant ship flying the flag of the American Republic of China slowly entered the port, and the Portuguese tax officer waiting by the dock trotted to meet it with a happy expression, and more dock porters under the leadership of the foreman, with the attitude of "I am tired and I am happy", also hurried closer, and the foreman was afraid of missing the big business.

Several male servants followed with a large pile of luggage, followed by a maid with a small umbrella, and Anna, dressed in a luxurious Hanfu palace skirt, stepped on the dock proudly, holding her babbling baby son in her arms.

"Madam, do you need to inform Mr. Shi?" Tina, the head maid, stood carefully beside the young woman, Anna, with a smile on her face.

"No, I'm going to surprise him!" Anna kissed the son in her arms and shook her head with a smile, "Hurry up and find the carriage, let's go home directly." ”

The home is the manor behind the Consulate General in the American Concession of the Azores.

It's been more than half a year since Anna last left Europe, and now the Azores Angra de Marsmo has undergone a lot of changes, with more than 3,000 permanent residents in the town, a large number of European chambers of commerce stationed in the local area, and a large number of warehouses and warehouses being built almost every month.

In particular, the development of the American Concession has been more rapid, and a large number of catering and entertainment industries have spread across every street in the Concession. Every day, well-dressed European businessmen crowded into the taverns of the American Concession to chat about business. In addition to trade themes related to the United States of America. Commodity trade in Europe, the Caribbean and Africa is also a regular topic in the Azores. With the surge in cargo and trade taxes, Porto do Heroísmo has become a golden sign for the revival of Portugal's maritime trade.

García, the Portuguese governor of the Azores, has now become one of the hottest figures in Portuguese aristocratic circles, and even the Duke of Bragança himself has publicly praised Viceroy García's achievements several times. In order to protect this maritime lifeline, which was vital for the revival of Portugal, the Duke of Bragança continued to strengthen the military defense of Anmarísmo Sansíti under various pretexts, and a large number of Portuguese army and navy were sent to Angra Sansto.

They are deploying troops overseas, and they are not piling up on the European continent. Even the Spanish government cannot blame this point. But what the Spaniards didn't know was the proportion of American-style weapons that the Portuguese army stationed in the Azores was privately equipped with. It has long been far more than any other country on the European continent.

This was just one of the forces of military revival that the Duke of Bragança had painstakingly managed, and in Brazil and India, a large number of muskets and cannons from the Chinese American Republic were replacing the old armament of the Portuguese colonial army.

In the eyes of the Duke of Bragança, it may only take ten years. With enough soldiers, he can proudly wear the crown of the King of Portugal that originally belonged to him, and he no longer has to be angry with the Spanish royal family!.

A company of U.S. Army soldiers in China guarded the vast U.S. Concession and the Consulate General in the Azores, and these Army units from the mainland changed their guards every six months and enjoyed a more generous overseas garrison allowance than the mainland.

The beautiful carriage drove into the Consulate General, and when Anna stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid, she happened to meet Lieutenant Cheng Peng, the commander-in-chief of the Azorean American Concession garrison.

"God bless, honorable Mr. Lieutenant, good afternoon!" Anna once had several encounters with Cheng Peng in her homeland and the Azores, and when she saw that they were old acquaintances, Anna smiled and squinted again.

"Ah...... Sister-in-law Anna! Cheng Peng rubbed his eyes. Finally saw the person in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but look back slightly at the door of the office hall of the Consulate General, looking a little flustered, "Sister-in-law, when did you come?" Why didn't you send a letter in advance? ”…,

Anna, who has long been familiar with the Chinese language, knows that the word "sister-in-law" is the most intimate title in these Chinese family and friend circles, and being able to enjoy such a title shows that she is already in a very high position in the Chinese high society.

"Just got off the boat, where's Swenbo? Still in the office? Anna handed her son to the maid behind her, lifted the skirt and bowed slightly, "The boat is fast." It's going to be there in a week, I want to surprise him! ”

"Uh...... By the way, sister-in-law, Brother Shi is planning the 'Atlantis Entertainment City' in the south of the concession, why don't I take you to him? ”

He looked back at the tall building behind him again. Cheng Peng hurriedly beckoned the consulate employees around him to help carry the luggage.

"I can't delay your duties, I'll go home and rest first. Wait for him to come back! Anna seemed to sense something, frowned slightly, and lifted her skirt and stepped up the steps without refuting it.

All the way through the corridor of the hall of the Consulate General, some of the old European employees of the Consulate General who knew Anna nervously stepped aside and bowed their heads slightly, especially several European beautiful employees, who even lowered their skirts and did not dare to come out.

Directly into the backyard of his manor, there were only a few maids in the garden who were trimming the flower table, and when they saw that the hostess had returned after a long absence, everyone quickly ran to Anna to salute.

"Where's Swenbo?" Anna glanced at the door, her tone a little unnatural.

"Madam, Mr. Shi is ...... the reception" A middle-aged maid lowered her head, her voice trembling.

"Oh? What guests? Portuguese? Spaniard? Or the French? "If I knew you were lying, I'd send you all to the mines in the United States to dig coal!" ”

"Mr. Shi is reading in the bedroom with Miss Graham Feene!" A maid of a younger grade fell to her knees in fright, her whole body trembling.

She hadn't been to the United States, but when she went to the mines to dig coal, she knew what it was like.

"Reading in the bedroom? Miss Graffyne? Norwegian? Anna's brow furrowed even tighter.

This time, no one answered, and his eyes were all bowed and bent.

The floor of the bedroom was full of torn dresses, scarves, ties, shirts, but not a single book.

Svenbo gasped. Support your upper body with your arms. is rising and falling on a beautiful European girl like a little white sheep with the "vigorous power of a 20-horsepower steam engine".

Beads of sweat condensed on the back, then ran down the lines of the muscles and soaked into the sheets. The blonde girl below her was trembling all over, her lotus-like limbs wrapped around Shi Wenbo's neck, waist and legs, moaning or sighing mercilessly, her face flushed with joy.

"Honey, don't you need to rest?" Miss Gaffyn from the Nordic Denmark and the United Kingdom of Norway fell from the peak again, panting lightly and hugging Swenbo, who had not intended to stop, and whispering in the other's ear.

"Hehe, I think it......" Shi Wenbo triumphantly turned the other party's smooth body over again, and went deep behind the enemy line with ease. It is intended to launch another wave of attacks.

"Does he need a break?"

A cold and crisp voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, and a richly dressed aristocratic young woman was standing in the corridor with a sleeping baby in her arms, and a pair of beautiful eyes were quietly staring at a naked man and a woman on the bed.

"Ahh

The Norwegian beautiful girl let out an exclamation and shrank behind Svenbo. Shivering.

Shi Wenbo, on the other hand, opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded.

In the living room, Shi Wenbo was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking out the window blankly, while Anna had a cold face and let her son cry in her arms, all of them were indifferent.

"Tina!"

After nearly an hour of silence, Anna suddenly called out softly. The small door on one side opened. Tina, the head maid, walked in with her head bowed, leaning over in front of the mistress with her skirt lifted. …,

"Send all the servants here to the mines of the United States!" Anna put her son in the stroller and announced the first thing as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, ma'am!" The maid steward quickly bowed her head.

"There's no need!" As soon as Shi Wenbo heard that the other party was coming to the real thing, he quickly stood up and stared at the chief maid manager again and again.

"Not necessary?" Anna stood up, slowly walked up to her husband, straightened the other's slightly messy tie, and smiled, "Then put to death...... They are the property of the family. I am in a position to punish them for their wrongdoings. ”

"You're crazy! What does this have to do with them?! ”

Swenbo has never seen Anna so cold-blooded, and the impression of a lively, innocent and proud little beautiful wife is now as aggressive as a bloodthirsty little lioness.

The son, perhaps hungry or frightened by the quarrel of his parents, cried and cried in the stroller with his hands outstretched.

"God testifies. I'm not crazy. I'm here for you, for me, and for the Santa Cruz family's reputation. Anna glanced at her son in the cradle. Sneered and sat aside, put his arms around his son, and began to untie his skirt.

Listening to the advice of domestic obstetricians and gynecologists, Anna is also insisting on breastfeeding herself, instead of finding a wet nurse like the Spanish aristocratic tradition, and her son Shi Anwen, like his father, is also a little guy who covets his mother's breasts, and he is still very "milk addicted" at the age of one and a half.

"Dear Anna, maybe we don't need to be so cruel!" Hurriedly walked up to his wife, changed his smile, and saw that his greedy son was eating on his mother's snow-white chest, Shi Wenbo couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "You can send it to your father's fiefdom, Santa Cruz Island, where the plantations also need female workers, right?" ”

"Swenbo! I can tolerate you having lovers, but I can't tolerate them in my bed! I can't imagine how many 'hostesses' have changed here in the months I have been away! Anna stood up with her son in her arms, finally revealing her anger, "What is that filthy Norwegian woman called, Miss Graffyne?" Even if her father was a Danish nobleman! Nor is he qualified to share an inch of this manor with me! ”

"I just miss you so much. You know, she laughs too much like you! Shi Wenbo's face began to gradually put on a thickened halo, and he actually shrugged his shoulders and made sense, "You know, men always have the wrong mouth, Miss Graham and I are purely physical, but my feelings are all on you!" And in fact, she has no possibility of replacing you, both physically and emotionally. Even now, I still have an irrepressible and wonderful association with you......"

As he spoke, he hugged his wife, and touched the snow-white chest of his son's mouth casually while touching his son's face with his hand in the other party's arms.

"Hmph, can she smile like me? If it weren't for her identity...... Anna blushed, glanced at her husband with silky eyes, and took a sip, "When you're done feeding the baby, go back to the bedroom and ......"

Under the guidance of the classic principle of "nothing more than three", a turmoil passed like this, Shi Wenbo did his best, and he and Anna got tired of being together again. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
