England, not far from the city of London, is a town called Guildford.

Don Watson's family is in this town, and it is a well-known old family with a history of hundreds of years in the town.

Although the family has been visibly weakened.

But in Guildford Town, there are still dozens of hectares of fertile land, many workshops, more than a dozen shops, and more than 100 family members.

It's just that so many family members allocate fewer resources, and over time, they slowly fall from the elite class to the working class, until it is difficult to maintain the dignity of the nobility, and become a large number of people, but the whole is relatively poor.

And Don Watson, who has a higher education, has been working outside to make money all these years in order to pay off the tuition fees and debts owed to the family, and has to support himself and become a person who can only rely on himself.

As a matter of fact.

With the emergence of primary industrialization in the Kingdom of England, there are more and more traditional aristocrats like Watson, and the really rich and powerful new aristocracy is the factory owner, the nobleman who goes to the New World to open up land, and the traditional ones who are not very willing to go out and wander are only weak, unable to struggle and resist, or simply go to work and serve the new nobles, and stay in their hometown to guard a small amount of land, will only gradually become farmers and craftsmen.

Don Watson chose to work hard to develop and work hard, at least to become a high-income worker, so as to change his own destiny.

And this time when he came back, Done Watson thought that he could be regarded as returning home with a full load.

Twenty Marines helped him carry out the harvest of the past few years and escorted him to the town and presented it to all the townspeople.

There were 1,800 silver dollars.

There are two mechanical watches.

There was a bicycle.

There are some canned food.

There are five lighters.

There are more than 20 glass mirrors.

There are several sets of clean clothes.

and a number of other goods and goods, the total value of which was about five thousand silver dollars (which is not particularly exaggerated).

If measured in the local British pound currency, it would not be less than 8,000 pounds sterling – which is very good, at least equivalent to the total income of forty average English families for ten years.

And then......

Don Watson began to repay the money, and the relatives and friends he owed some debts before all paid back all the money owed according to double the amount, causing quite a stir:

"I have money, I didn't expect Don En to really get rich and make a lot of money."

"It's a pity that we were all too timid and conservative to go outside with us."

"Don, why don't you take us to the East with us, we want to follow you and make a fortune in the East."

"Don went outside for five years, and made money that we couldn't make in fifty years, and sure enough, it's better to be outside, and it's not okay to stay in this place."

"Don, I want to follow you, can you accept me?"

「……」

In the face of this eager face, one by one want to follow their own struggle, change the fate of the voice, to be honest, Don Watson enjoyed it very much, his heart was full of a sense of achievement, and immediately said that Xu Jiazhuang will definitely recruit people, and the opportunities are endless, not to mention anything else, that is, to go to the mines of Daming to mine, and save dozens of silver dollars every year, equivalent to hundreds of pounds, which is much stronger than the bitter wheat and sheep, and there are many people who are willing to follow Tang En.

Back to his family.

Done Watson gave the remaining property worth about 5,000 pounds to his parents, and asked them to take these belongings to the Hecherland Manor next door, and handed them over to his fiancée Winnie Befort, as a sincere fulfillment of the marriage contract, hoping that she could marry him as soon as possible, he promised to continue to work hard to get a green card visa from Xujiazhuang, so as to be able to settle in Harbour City, he wanted to take Winnie to the East to enjoy happiness and live a fairy-like life.

However, I heard Donn's words.

His Father

The mother fell silent.

After a long time, I heard my father say: "Don, let's give up that Winnie, your marriage contract with her has been annulled, the third son of the Duke of Wales, Howard Wells, he has taken a fancy to your fiancée, not only is her status more noble than our family, but she also provides more gifts, that Howard son, he is also younger and more handsome than you, incomparable, Winnie and her family did not hesitate to abandon you and chose the young master of the Howard family, our strength, it is better to give up."

"I heard that Winnie and Master Howard's wedding will be held next month, but I didn't expect you to come back at this time, but I still advise you to give up, we can't fight, we are just a small family in decline, not the opponent of a behemoth like the Duke, you must not do anything stupid." Father persuaded.

"Bastard, you dare to rob my fiancée, I'm going to duel him!"

Don Watson was immediately furious, his face was extremely ugly, and his heart was surging with crazy killing intent, and he had already had the intention of using force to solve the problem and snatch his fiancée Winnie back.

Although in his eyes, his fiancée Winnie is not particularly beautiful and beautiful, but she is very feminine, that is, she has a quite noble temperament.

Although in so many years of contact, Winnie's attitude towards him was lukewarm, not very good, and occasionally revealed a certain disgust and disgust, which made Done Watson occasionally feel hurt in his self-esteem, but for so many years, Winnie still has a very important and irreplaceable position in his heart.

I have long seen her as a wife who wants to marry home.

So he can't accept the fact that his fiancée is about to be taken away by others, which is an unacceptable insult to him.

So the next day.

Don Watson, with dozens of relatives and friends, went to the Hecherland Manor next door, to confront Winnie and ask her to give a reasonable explanation.

……

Soon.

In the rather extravagant style of the Hecherland Manor.

In the midst of a chaotic quarrel, Winnie, dressed in a tunic dress, walked out of her boudoir with the hem of her skirt and came to the hall on the first floor, where she appeared in front of Don Watson.

At this time, Winnie was twenty-six years old, extremely mature, plump, good-looking, and had the temperament of a young lady.

Including Don Watson, who came to seek justice for himself with a marriage contract in his hand, after seeing Winnie, he quickly stopped, and his voice was much quieter, without showing obvious anger.

And took the initiative to say to her, "Winnie, I haven't seen you for more than five years, I have come back to fulfill the marriage contract, and I am coming to marry you, please promise to be my wife, okay?"

Hear this.

Looking at the man in front of him who had dark skin, was averagely handsome, and had postponed his marriage for four or five years, Winnie's heart immediately surged with a lot of dissatisfaction and anger, and she snorted coldly: "Don, it's been five years, I've been waiting for you for five years, do you know how I survived all these years?" Those best friends of my age have given birth to several children, only I have been waiting, and there are even many rumors that you have ...... Dead outside, impossible to come back, these rumors have worried and saddened me for a long time, you are my fiancé after all, I don't want to be widowed so early."

"How could I die outside, I'm alive and well, and I'm making a lot of money."

Don Watson said to her apologetically, "I'm sorry for being a little late, but there's no way, the East is too far away, I also want to save more money, and marry you in style, now I think the time is right, I can be worthy of you, Winnie, please don't give up on me, I'll give you the happiness you want most, I also have the ability to do it, I'm not worse than that Howard son, please marry me, okay?"

"I ......"

Winnie bit her lower lip, took two steps back, and finally shook her head and said, "Don, between us, it may not be particularly suitable, you better give up, since you have made a lot of money, go find a better woman than me."

, I figured it out, when two people are together, the most important thing is not money and material things, but when you need it most, having a shoulder to lean on by your side, Howard can give me this feeling, and you can't, so ...... Please cancel your engagement as well."

She actually thought about this decision for a long time.

Among the European aristocracy, in fact, they attach great importance to the joint venture, and they also pay great attention to integrity, and rarely have any regrets about marriage, even if there is an accident in a certain family, out of the virtue of keeping promises, they still cannot easily break the contract, otherwise it will cause a very bad impact on the upper class.

Winnie is actually the kind of traditional conservative character, her dream was to be a good wife and mother, even if she was usually longing and lonely, she would not do anything to be sorry for her fiancé, Don Watson has been solidified in her mind for many years, this is her future husband, and it will not change.

It's just that the third son of the Duke of Wales, Howard Wells, a 24-year-old son, fell in love with Winnie at a glance, and then launched a passionate pursuit and vowed to marry her, Winnie's mood changed a lot.

First of all, there are other men to compete for herself, Winnie must be happy in her heart, valuable things, beautiful things, are worthy of being fought for by men, which proves that her charm is good.

Secondly, the Wells family has a larger fief and more income, and has also opened up a lot of colonies in the New World, with an annual income of more than one million pounds, which is much stronger than the family behind Donn, and there is no comparison at all.

And then there is the comparison of people, Howard Wells is obviously a playboy who mixes with flowers all year round, young and romantic, and a little flowery, but this is not a shortcoming, very good at talking coaxing, and considerate and gentle, etc., far more than Donn, a stuffy gourd who doesn't know how to talk about love.

Finally, than the future, marrying into the Wells family, the children she gave birth to in the future will definitely have better training conditions, a better starting line, and a brighter future, that is, for the sake of the children, it will be better to choose Howard.

To sum up, there are three aspects.

Although Winnie didn't want to say it directly, her heart was still more inclined to Master Howard, unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract with Donn, a down-and-out nobleman, and not wanting to live a life with no hope for the future.

So she said to Don En: "Don En, I don't have any love for you because of the kind of affection that my sister has for my brother, you let it go, I want to marry Master Howard, you will definitely find a better one than me in the future, and even, I can introduce my cousin and cousin to you, and change someone to fulfill the marriage contract with you, please, you should want me to be happy, right?"

Hear that.

Don Watson's face was a little ugly, and he felt very embarrassed and unhappy.

Looking at Winnie's rather pitiful and pleading appearance, it seemed that if he did not agree, he would be preventing her from running towards happiness, that is, a rude and rude man, a man who has no tolerance and a narrow and selfish character.

Most of the people present, except for those relatives and friends he had brought with him, sided with Winnie and admonished him:

"Five years, young man, this is enough time for a woman to change her mind, and you made Winnie wait too long."

"Let it go, let Winnie get her happiness, you shouldn't stand in the way."

"The marriage contract is not the same as the law, and in some cases, it can be suspended and cancelled, and it cannot be used to bind Winnie's happiness in life."

"Our family can give some compensation, or change the marriage partner, don't be ignorant and ruin the relationship between the two families."

"Your toughness is unreasonable, it is your fault first, if you don't go to the East to develop, this situation will not happen, and you are the one who is at fault."

「……」

In the face of these voices.

Look at his fiancée Winnie, who has a firm attitude, and seems to be determined to marry that young master Howard, and doesn't want him, a poor boy with a mediocre future.

In such a situation, even if the marriage contract is strongly requested, it is estimated that it will not achieve the goal, but it will cause Winnie's rejection and rejection even more, and it is impossible to make her change her mind, and it will also cause the two families to hate each other and explode

Conflict is possible.

Never mind.

Winnie, a realistic, vulgar, and vain woman, still doesn't want her, this kind of woman is not worthy of marrying herself.

I deserve to marry a better one.

After thinking about it, Don Watson said to the people of the Buffland family: "If you want me to give up my marriage contract with Winnie, it's okay, but I have one condition, that is, I want to go on a blind date from your family's unmarried and ***, single women over the age of fifteen, find a new marriage partner, and get married immediately, this woman, I will go to find it myself, let her live with me, rest assured, I will be good to this woman, and I will also use facts to prove that marrying me Don is far better than marrying that Young Master Howard, I will make a woman who rejected me soon regret it and restore my dignity."
