Recently, Zhang Heng has rarely had a few days' holiday.
Maybe the story of Jiyuan has spread. When other people on the island go to the crew of the Jackdaw for trouble, they have to weigh whether they can withstand the money attack of a captain. Therefore, there are fewer cases of jealousy and fighting.
Zhang Heng doesn't have to take the time to deal with these messy troubles any more. Most of his spare time is spent with Annie practicing Sabre techniques. In addition, he will tidy up the vegetable garden he built.
It must be admitted that the tropical climate has a natural advantage in planting. The tomatoes, carrots and cabbage seeds he sprinkled casually before are not well cared for, and even go out for a month or two. But when he comes back, he can still see a lot of them growing vigorously, and now they can be harvested directly.
However, compared with fighting, the girl with red hair is less interested in this kind of thing. She often just collapses on the chair outside the door to watch Zhang Heng do it in the vegetable garden.
What happened that night was like a small stone, falling into the lake, rippling, but soon calm again.
After daybreak, they returned to their previous life. Annie's attitude towards Zhang Heng didn't seem to have changed much. She didn't have the feeling that ordinary girls were immersed in love.
However, since then, she often can't help but find Zhang Heng to fight alone, if it is also a way to express her love.
…………
Time soon arrived. Five days later, Zhang Heng came to Terence manor as agreed.
Along with him were Annie and Billy. Although the dinner should not be dangerous, as the captain of the jackdaw, if only one bare commander went to the dinner, it would not be very nice.
Malcolm's banquet was not held in Nassau, but closer to the heart of the island, where he owned a plantation and where he usually lived.
Unlike the humble wooden huts on the north bank, the main building in the manor is made of stone, adopting the most popular baroque style in Europe. However, there are no suitable stones on the island of New Providence, so they can only be transported from other places. The price of each rock is very high. In addition, Malcolm specially invited two famous designers from Italy to complete the construction of the manor in three years. Tonight is the first time for Malcolm to lift the veil of mystery.
"It seems that that guy has made a lot of money these years." Annie looked at a statue of Apollo and Daphne in front of the door.
"That's why he set up the dinner party here tonight, telling all the guests who come here that they can make money by cooperating with him." Zhang Heng can guess some of Malcolm's thoughts.
"Now it seems that his goal has been achieved." Billy sighed. He turned his head and looked around. Some people have been coming in these days. Most of them were surprised when they saw the exquisitely carved statue.
Outside the door, a housekeeper in a tuxedo checked the invitation card in Zhang Heng's hand and nodded to the three people, "welcome to Terence manor. Have a nice dinner tonight."
After that, he shook his head and the bell in his hand. Immediately, three black maids came over. They all looked sixteen or seventeen years old. One of them, a little shorter, came up to Annie and said, "Hello, I'm daisy. I'll serve you tonight. I'll try my best to meet all your needs."
As a result, the girl with red hair picked her eyebrows and said, "I don't need it. I don't like people following me."
The black maid in front of her showed a look of embarrassment. She still had a smile on her face, but it had become a little reluctant.
The housekeeper noticed the situation here. After checking another guest's invitation and arranging the waitress, he came over. He looked at Daisy, who was at a loss in front of ANN. He politely said, "what's the matter, distinguished guests? Are you not satisfied with Daisy? I can replace you with a new maid at once
Annie was about to say something, but Zhang Heng said, "nothing. We just wanted to ask Daisy to show us around the manor."
The housekeeper said with a smile, "I'm sure you'll like it here, but it's a large area. I'm afraid it's very difficult to visit here for a while. Moreover, tonight's special program is about to start. You'd better go to the banquet hall first, and you'll have free time after the dinner. If you like, you can stay here and tell the maid around you."
Zhang Heng nodded his thanks, then stepped forward to the brightly lit building not far away.
Annie is not stupid. When Zhang Heng interrupted, she immediately thought of something. After leaving the gate, she asked the black maid beside her, "what would happen if I just refused you, would they punish you?"
The latter was silent. Annie stretched out her hand to open Daisy's clothes. Sure enough, she saw a lot of whiplash marks on her back. Then the angry girl wanted to draw out the dagger at her waist.
Billy stopped him and said, "don't mess around. Although I don't like this kind of thing, they are sold here, which is equivalent to goods. Theoretically, no matter what Malcolm wants to do to them, they can't be accused by others. Moreover, it's not good for her to show up for her. We're just guests. We'll leave after tonight, but they still have to be here I'm going to go on livingDaisy heard Billy's words with a look of gratitude on her face. Annie gave a cut, and she took back the dagger again.
They soon came to the banquet hall, and Daisy, who was at the front, pushed the door open.
If the outside building is just luxurious, the interior decoration can be described as resplendent. In the center of the dome is a huge chandelier with more than 100 candles on it, which makes the whole hall as bright as day. The walls are covered with relief and ribbons, and the soft Persian carpet is at the foot.
"It's like coming back to England." A big landlord who came in behind the three couldn't help feeling.
By this time, many people had come to the banquet hall, but they were divided into two groups. Most of the businessmen were reserved. Although they praised the decoration and carving in the room, they just stood by and quietly enjoyed it. However, the pirates did not care so much. Many of them saw valuable things and went to touch them directly. They were still calculating the price of these things and thinking about what they would do How much can a Shun sell before leaving.
