Chapter 399

"Sir, I'm interrupting your meal!"

Chamberlain walked to Jiangning with impeccable manners. He half bent to salute and put an invitation on the table.

"It's all right, jarbert." He looked at the invitation on the table. "What's this?"

"Governor Swann ordered it, sir!" "It's said that Colonel Norrington will be promoted to brigadier general tomorrow, and you are specially invited to attend the ceremony," he continued

Jiangning wiped the non-existent oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a napkin, opened the invitation letter and looked at it. There were dazzling polite expressions written in fancy English on it.

"I see." Jiangning looked up at jambert: "get the carriage ready tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir!"

……

After dinner, Jiangning came to the bedroom alone.

Since he settled in the Royal harbor for eight years, Jiangning has been single; Many people feel strange, but they don't say anything. However, after Jiangning gradually made a lot of money, many families of colonial officials began to make up with each other. Peddling his daughter, hoping to form a marriage relationship with Jiangning.

Since the rise of capital, the status of businessmen has been increasing.

In the past, the status of businessmen was extremely embarrassing, not only in China, but also in the world.

This phenomenon began to change after the rise of capital.

Although the nobles still maintain the so-called nobility, they are not necessarily richer than businessmen in terms of financial resources. Moreover, with the increase of wealth, the influence and status of businessmen are gradually improved.

Except for a few diehards, who still stick to their own views, most nobles began to change their inherent ideas.

In particular, Jiangning is young and rich, even though it is a foreigner.

However, there are many foreigners these days.

Even in the territory controlled by the British, there are many people from other countries. Similarly, there are many foreigners living in the territory of other countries. The difference is only a matter of number.

Then, in the face of such a young, handsome and rich bachelor, those colonial official families with daughters naturally have a lot of thoughts. If you can get married, you can get related.

Then, it is natural for the government and business to combine and expand each other's families.

Unfortunately, Jiangning has no interest in such a marriage. Although there is no hostess in the manor, if there is a physiological demand, Jiangning will go to the brothel in the city below the hillside to vent her anger.

He will not deliberately suppress his own physiological needs, nor connive.

After all, even if the pursuit of a higher realm, it is not necessarily necessary to let oneself become desirless. If so, there would not be so many powerful beings in the multiverse.

In fact, human beings and gods have the same essence.

We are all creatures. Even if we have different structures, we have different powers. In the final analysis, ordinary people pursue power, and gods also pursue power. The result is the same.

For rights, for enjoyment, and for ever.

After all, with power, the corresponding rights and money will follow. If there is no desire and no demand, then it is equivalent to the loss of motivation and goals. Isn't that bullshit?

Whether it is the pursuit of enjoyment or the pursuit of truth, the ultimate goal is to enjoy.

So, it's the same in essence and in the end.

It's just, to put it another way.

……

Open the curtain, and then open the huge window, from his position you can see the distant Bay and the city below!

Although there are still few forms of entertainment in the 18th century, it is much richer than the Middle Ages in the dark ages.

An Fen law-abiding people naturally go home early after dark.

Restless people linger in pubs and brothels, listening to songs, holding a pretty girl with half of her chest in her arms, saying some dirty jokes, drinking some wine, and taking advantage of the strength of the wine to go upstairs!

Moreover, at night, such pubs, brothels and casinos naturally have no shortage of business.

The noisy environment, smoking, drinking and sweat, as well as the inferior perfume sprayed on the body, are mixed together to make a strange taste. Don't expect, as in the 21st century, people to be polite and have a good meal.

In this era, sailors and coolies have few qualities, even nobles and kings.

Even in the 21st century, it's the same. It's not necessarily that the quality of Chinese people is worse than that of foreigners. From another angle, can the bad side be shown to foreigners?

Of course, it shows the good side, but the bad side is almost the same.

Become just people, because the living conditions are better. I don't eat the animal viscera I used to eat, and then I don't think that thing can be eaten? You don't eat dead people, do you?

Jiangning was suspicious and curious at the beginning, but when he went around the restaurant one day, he found out. The viscera of animals that their descendants disliked extremely, their ancestors actually ate happily and happily

……

Cut off all the thoughts in his mind, Jiangning took off his clothes and went to bed to have a rest.

The next day, Jiangning woke up on time and rang the bell. The maids, who had already got up, pushed the door open and came in, holding the neatly folded and clean dress and the clear and transparent face washing water in their hands. After getting up in Jiangning, he had a maid to help fold the quilt. Then he stretched out his arms and put on a gorgeous dress with the help of the maid. And he cleaned his face, and a maid came up and looked at his face carefully to see if it was necessary to clean his beard.

The result naturally satisfied the maids. The master's face was very clean and had no beard. In fact, Jiangning didn't plan to grow a beard at all. The Chinese people's beard is not thick and loose. Beards are not good-looking. They are not as hairy as white people. They are both men and women. It's not like the Arab beards in the Middle East. They all have beards. It's not like the white guys in the 21st century. They all have short beards. They look very manly.

However, Jiangning's beard is very rare, and the beard is not good-looking. Therefore, Jiangning completely with magic, forbid these whiskers to continue to grow, always keep his clean incomparable tender face!

After he finished washing, Chamberlain came over with a hat and wig in his hand.

Since a king of France lost his hair and put on a wig to cover his defects. This strange trend swept across Europa. Kings and nobles of all countries vied to follow suit, and then spread to the people and the army. However, if the people have that condition, they will naturally keep up with the trend, and if they are suffering, they will naturally do what they should do!

Jiangning was very tired of this thing, so he resolutely refused, picked up the hat and put it on his head; After having breakfast downstairs, he took the guards and servants to the carriage and drove to the garrison fortress.

Before long, the carriage came to the fort; After seeing him get off the bus, the colonial officials and their families, who were in place in advance, said hello politely one after another. For these, Jiangning one by one salute, followed by governor Swann with his daughter Elizabeth Swann came to Jiangning here. Very familiar greetings, in the eight years since he took office as governor of Port Royal. Governor Swann and her daughter suffered several serious illnesses during this period. They were all saved by Jiangning. Therefore, governor Swann was very grateful to Jiangning and took good care of his property.

And for the wine of Jiangning, it provides a lot of tax for the Royal port; It is said that the British royal family has also sent letters to commend him. Therefore, governor Swann is very grateful and polite to Jiangning, and their relationship is closer on weekdays.

They chatted happily, and soon the officers called the celebrities and gentlemen. Naturally, everyone knows what's going on. They go to specific places one after another, and a team of red shrimp soldiers stand on both sides, and then the cheerful music starts. Jiangning then saw a team of red shrimp soldiers in a loose formation, walking with awkward goose steps and slowly coming with guns.

At the command of the commander of the army, form a formation, and then the protagonist of today will appear as the finale. Wearing an officer's cap and wig, wearing a proper officer's uniform, he walked slowly to the celebrities and gentlemen.

Governor Swann's gift for brigadier general Norrington is a fine sword! Jiangning's gift is a flint pistol inlaid with ivory handle!

Norrington was very fond of these two gifts, and he acknowledged them with a slightly haughty look!

Later, the goods will invite governor Swann's daughter, Elizabeth to one side to chat.

Then, accompanied by governor Swann, Jiangning had a pleasant chat with a group of celebrities and gentlemen.

White people are very realistic, especially over the years, Britain's strength has been growing day by day. These British people want to grow their eyes on their heads. As a person from Asia, Jiangning was discriminated against in Royal harbor at first.

However, Jiangning used a little means and showed a little means to make him the most popular person in the Royal harbor.

Celebrities, gentlemen, ladies of every family have a good feeling for him.

Happy chat, then in the situation surrounded by the United States launched; There were also many colonial officials who were engaged in business. There were also local businessmen here. They talked about politics and possible cooperative relations. The scene is just like that. It makes a group of women who don't understand business and politics feel sharp.

The feeling for them is that they are good cattle and powerful!

While chatting, Jiangning suddenly heard brigadier general Norrington's call; Then, a team of red shrimp soldiers walked by, and Jiangning followed closely.

"What's the matter?" He asked Norrington around him.

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth, she fell by accident." Brigadier general Norrington pointed to the sea below and said anxiously. Then he would take off his clothes and jump down. He was dissuaded by the soldiers around him.

Jiangning stepped on the stone fort and looked down. In his eyes, there was a faint glow. He clearly saw Elizabeth's figure sinking toward the bottom of the sea.

Then Jiangning saw another figure and jumped into the sea like a fish.

"Jack Sparrow!"

……

Jack Sparrow arrived at Royal harbor as scheduled, and rescued Elizabeth who accidentally fell into the water. Then, Norrington comes with his soldiers and discovers Jack's pirate identity. Besides, Jack is the worst pirate he has ever seen.

Jiangning, on the other hand, looked deep into the sea and felt that a ship of the dead was sailing here.

That's the cursed Black Pearl and captain Barbosa.
