Chapter 431: "Santa Claus" Han Xing
I saw Colonel Norrington wearing a navy blue British officer's uniform with a white wig and a black gold-rimmed tricorne hat on his head as always, and with his hands behind his back (shēn), he stepped gracefully onto the deck of the Ranger like a swan along the boarding board.
"Long time no see, Commander!" Han Xing took the lead in greeting him.
It has to be said that Han Xing's dress is much more decent than Norrington's, he wears a proper white gold velvet gown (shēn), a black feather hat on his head, and a long swan feather dyed blue, which gently sways in the sea breeze. He wore his sapphire silver necklace around his neck. Good fellows, dozens of sapphires of various sizes, connected and strung together by silver, form a calendula pattern in the mouth of (xiōng).
It's good-looking, it's weird! How else to say that the crown is a burden? Even if it's gold, if you are given a few thousand grams on the top of your head, you will not feel good, will you? This explains the main reason why the necklace flourished during the Tudor period, but in modern times it disappeared and was replaced by lighter necklaces - the physique of the nobles declined!
The medieval aristocracy (rè) was devoted to hunting and running horses, and (shēn) was much better than the greased sissies of the Napoleonic era. Those sissies wear a two- or three-kilogram jewelry necklace, and I am afraid that they will be unable to breathe and suffocate to death because of this "burden~
"What blew you into my little wrecked boat?" Han Xing said that he was modest, but God (qíng) was neither humble nor arrogant, just a slight bow.
"Mr. Segaard, there have been a number of recent acts of piracy against the merchant ships of the British Empire, and I have had to keep a strict watch on the ships entering and leaving Port Royal! Beware of some ill-intentioned people~" Colonel Norrington put on his elegant, calm demeanor, pacing the deck of the Ranger, looking around without a trace.
"Commander, you must know that I am just a humble businessman who serves His Majesty the King, traveling back and forth between the Caribbean and the European continent to earn some small profits to make ends meet~" Han Xing smiled humbly.
"Really? Mr. Segaard? Norrington also returned with a modest smile, noncommittal about it, but stared at Han Xing's luxurious and extravagant sapphire necklace with a playful gaze, obviously having something to say.
I don't know why, in the past five years, Colonel Norrington's favor for Han Xing has taken a sharp turn, and I don't know for what reason, he frequently intercepted Han Xing's merchant ships, and I don't know if it was the ace team or the handsome men and women team who blew some crooked wind in his ears.
"Yes, I am here at the invitation of Governor Swan to attend the inauguration of your Commodore! If I hadn't said it, I'd almost forgotten, congratulations to Brigadier General Norrington! As a businessman, I am deeply grateful for your dedication! Han Xingyan praised insincerely.
"It's a colonel, I'm not a brigadier general yet!" Norrington turned his back (shēn) and stood with his hands facing the sea, correcting in a proud tone. With that, he left the deck of the Ranger and walked back to the Dreadnought along the plank, leaving only Han Xing's back.
"God knows what I did wrong~" Han Xing thought with a wry smile: "Maybe it's a phase (xìng) that doesn't match?" Han Xing admits that his double (shēn) share has not been exposed, and the piracy is mainly Blackjack's back, God knows why Norrington is so disgusted with himself, maybe he is dressed too cool, stealing the limelight from "Brigadier General"?
After going ashore, Han Xing went to visit Governor Swan. As soon as he entered the door, Han Xing saw that Governor Swan was talking to a black-haired young man with long hair and a shawl, and when he heard someone come in, the black-haired young man immediately turned around.
The black-haired young man was wearing a white shirt with a brown plaid vest and a silk scarf around his neck and a delicate bow tie.
The cherry red lips made him a little more rouge, but the handsome and heroic eyebrows swept them away. The white, beautiful face, coupled with a few playful strands of hair scattered on the temples and forehead, added a bit of happiness and free and easy.
He was holding a sword case in the crook of his arm, and in the hand of Governor Swann was holding a brand-new ornamental sword (a weapon of the Caribbean era, more often defined as a sword than a knife, which has to do with its use of picks and stabs, which can be understood as a single-edged sword), the sword (shēn) is as bright as a mirror, and the gold-encrusted grip adds a bit of luxury, but it is not as flashy as decoration, it looks noble and elegant and simple.
"I'm sure Commander Norrington will love this gift!" Governor Swan tapped his sword (shēn) with his index finger and listened to the melodious "jingle of a piano note" in his ears. Even if he was a layman, he could see that this sword was extraordinary.
"It's my pleasure~" The shoulder-length black-haired young man smiled and bowed slightly. As if sensing something wrong, he quickly added: "I mean, every craftsman wants his work to be liked!" ”
"Please say hello to your master on my behalf!" Governor Swan looked at the gold-encrusted sword again, and then had it taken back to its case.
"Captain Segaard, you're here!" After Han Xing came in, he maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, interlocked his fingers with his hands, put them on his lower abdomen, and waited quietly. But Governor Swan, fearing that he would snub the distinguished guest, turned to Han Xingdao.
"(rì) Ann, Your Excellency the Governor!" Han Xing took off his hat, rested it on his belly, and then bowed (shēn): "I have some gifts for you!" As he spoke, Han Xing clapped his hands.
The white wooden door was immediately opened, and two servants carried in several boxes of various sizes, and then opened them one by one. There are books, knick-knacks, ornaments, and even an oil painting by a famous artist wrapped in oiled paper, and of course, red wine.
"That's too much, Captain Segaard!" Governor Swan spoke modestly, but a big smile was already on his face.
"Please take it, it's just my little care! Compared to the care you gave me, it was not worth mentioning at all~" Han Xing said this, even he felt disgusted.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and I saw a brown-haired beauty, wearing an off-white whalebone skirt trimmed with white lace, and a pair of lotus feet walked down the white marble staircase with timid steps.
This lady has fair, blown-ready skin and pink cheeks with a hint of healthy blood, adding a bit of jiāo. In those blue and beautiful eyes, there is a joy overflowing with words, accompanied by a clever smile at the corner of her mouth, she is really one in a million beautiful embryos!
Turner, on the side, was already stunned, looking at the smile on the beauty's face as bright as the light of March (March), and the little red lips like a blooming begonia. Look at him like that, I'm afraid that he is sketching out the scene of his kiss in his mind and savoring that little bit of red lips~
This girl is naturally Governor Swan's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Swan, who is highly sought after in the movie by Captain Jack, Will Turner, and Commodore Norrington, and three outstanding men from all walks of life. Even that Lord Beckett obviously has a lot of affection for this Miss Elizabeth~
"Uncle Segaard!" Just when Will Turner's eyes were misty, and he stopped talking. The Miss Swann crept past his (shēn) and took him as air.
Since five years ago, Han Xing has been in and out of Port Royal more than 20 times, and each time she will bring gifts to Governor Swan's father and daughter, over time, this "Miss Swan" (swan, the meaning of swan, transliteration of the name of the person is Swan) has regarded Han Xing as "Santa Claus", because every time Han Xing arrives, she will get an interesting gift.
"Uncle Segard, what kind of gift did you bring me this time?" At this time, Elizabeth was only a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, although she was already slim, she was still a big child at heart.
"Of course, Miss Swan!" Han Xing asked people to open an oiled paper bag tightly tied with hemp rope, and used a letter opener to pick up the string, inside was a beautifully made navy blue whalebone skirt, the skirt was decorated with pearls and silver patterns like the stars version, and it was also matched with exquisite hollow lace edges, the texture was honest and soft, and it was like holding a pool of clear water.
"It's so beautiful! Father, can I take it? Please! "Miss Swann fell completely the moment she saw the dress. She rubbed the silky fabric and looked at her father, Governor Swan, with a pleading gaze.
"Of course, Elizabeth! Since it's a gift from Captain Segaard, you can accept it! Governor Swan said with a kind smile.
"And that's not all, Miss Elizabeth, I have a gift for you!" Han Xingyou took out a beautiful pearl wooden box, and on the black cushion, there was a ruby necklace with exquisite workmanship, each of which was polished to be round and smooth, without edges and corners, smooth and delicate to start, obviously a work of ingenuity!
"This is also for me?" Like most women, Miss Swan is not immune to the allure of jewelry.
"Of course, this necklace goes perfectly with this dress, doesn't it?" Han Xing smiled slightly.
"Will, do you think I look good wearing this?" Miss Swan took the ruby necklace from the wooden box, placed it around her neck, and turned to Will Turner and asked.
"Of course... Pretty! Only the most beautiful jewelry in the world is worthy of the most beautiful people in the world! "I have to say that our Mr. Turner not only has a handsome appearance, but even has no teachers in terms of talking (qíng) and saying (ài)~
Miss Swan's starting point may just be to show off her new toys to her playmates and friends, but in the eyes of the three men present, it is a little more ambiguous.
The young Will felt that this seemed to be a kind of affirmation and encouragement for him, in the words of the Celestial Empire, that is, "women are the ones who please themselves". This makes sense, if a woman asks you: If she looks good or not, it's almost a straightforward show (ài)~ If she is not interesting to you, why care if you think she looks good or not?
Governor Swan, who was "the father of Mo Ruo", had a dark face, and he had already made other arrangements for the end (shēn) of his precious daughter.
