Chapter 160

In Lorraine's opinion, today is a beautiful day.

He took off his uncomfortable mask, changed back to his familiar surname and first name, and returned to the Luxi manor. As soon as he came back, he heard two good news one after another.

One news is that Marca and finlier have lovers and get married.

Although I don't care much about the little indian couple who haven't known each other for a long time, as the first young couple to marry in the manor, this marriage has really changed the atmosphere of the whole manor.

Compared with before Lorraine's departure, the current manor is full of capitalist corruption, with clear class, mixed with a little warmth and softness, which can finally give people a sense of home.

Another good news is that the repair of the golden deer is officially over.

Moreover, because Lorraine didn't give the authorization to use the ship before she left, she didn't go to sea again even after the repair, and she always docked in Royal harbor.

This time chuck went north, she would also return to Lucie and officially return it to Lorraine.

This means that Lorraine Drake has regained the available warships, and many of the planned projects have been carried out. In the two months of his recovery, he will certainly be more fulfilling than expected.

As for what to do, Lorraine hasn't figured out yet.

The plan is just a plan. The most critical operation direction can only be decided after meeting chuck.

In this way, the sailors returned to their respective rooms, slept happily in the soft big bed, and woke up the next morning.

The sun is high in the sky.

Lorraine got out of bed with a big lazy waist, put on her morning dress at the service of the Indian maids, then washed and shaved, and was guided to the study.

Miss ofey was waiting at her desk.

Today, she is wearing a beige ladies' dress, covered with a modified men's swallow tail, her brown hair is high, tied with lace, wearing hairpins, holding a shorthand book in her hand, a pair of gold rimmed glasses on her face, and her whole body is filled with the smell of knowledge.

"Eighteenth century office girl..." Lorraine smashed her mouth and sat down on her desk. "Miss McCarthy..."

"From today on, I will officially become your housekeeper, so please call me ophy later. Sir, etiquette is a sign of alienation. Excessive etiquette will alienate your attendants."

"Well, ophy, it should be my riding and fencing time in the early morning. Why did you call me to the study?"

"It's 9:30." miss ofey knocked the clock in front of Lorraine with her pencil. "For a qualified gentleman, morning exercise is over and morning tea still has half an hour to start. It's time to deal with business and receive guests."

"Then?"

"I have arranged the schedule for you in recent days. I need you to confirm it."

"Even the daily schedule has been arranged?" Lorraine rolled his eyes covertly. "You say, I listen."

Miss ofey clattered away her shorthand book.

"In your absence, five groups of guests have come to the manor garden. President Parker once, Lieutenant Colonel Nelson of Kingston once, and Mr. revere, the leader of the local gentleman of Lucy, who visited twice with his wife. There is also a poor man who claims to be your friend. He hopes to see you back at the manor and is kicked out by me."

Lorraine opened her mouth. "You just said you kicked my friend out?"

The just housekeeper nodded solemnly, "Sir, how long have you been in the new world?"

"A few months."

"Apart from lieutenant colonel Nelson and some gentlemen in the chamber of Commerce, do you have any friends here?"

"Er... Maybe from Europe?"

"I asked. He entered the manor on foot. There was no carriage and it was very dirty. Do you think such a person would be your friend? In my opinion, it was just a rogue who heard that you were not in the manor and were going to come to eat and drink."

It must be admitted that miss ofey's judgment is very reasonable. Lorraine is not only speechless, but also has a feeling of approval from the bottom of her heart.

So this one has been exposed.

Lorraine crossed his fingers and supported his chin. "Do you mean I need to arrange a return visit?"

"Yes, it's etiquette."

"Chuck, I've asked you to tell him to come."

"The chairman's return visit can be ruled out, leaving two people..."

"I'll arrange time to meet Lieutenant Colonel Nelson. As for the local..."

"Mr. revere."

"Revere, is he a noble?"

"No."

"The planter?"

"Yes."

"How big is the plantation?"

"About 500 mu. He is very famous in Lusi."

"Well... I'm not interested in talking to a gentleman on the ground about last year's harvest."

"It's not polite, sir," insisted miss ofey.

"I think it's very polite," Lorraine retorted. "Anyway, he and his wife have been here twice. If I have the chance, I can entertain them here."

"You'll go to hell, sir." miss ofey angrily crossed out the return visit plan of the revere family on the small book and turned to the next page. "Next is today's arrangement, 10 o'clock, morning tea, 11:30, go to town..."

Lorraine jerked up his hand: "wait a minute."

"Huh?"

"All social activities related to local squires, officials and parliamentarians have been cancelled and will be repeated."

Miss ofey's eyes widened. "All cancelled?"

"You haven't handed in a thank-you note yet, have you?"

"I was going to send it after the report..."

"Then there's no need to send another letter of apology. Cancel it." Lorraine twisted his neck comfortably. "I'm a marine merchant. I have nothing to socialize with a small town that doesn't even have a commercial port."

"But... But you live here!"

"Is there a connection? I'm a lonely, arrogant and self righteous Englishman. Let them form this feeling and save me a lot of words." Lorraine knocked on the table with his finger. "Ophy, I insist."

"If you insist..." miss ofey rowed for a long time and raised her head again, "Morning tea at 10 o'clock and lunch at 1 o'clock. Then you need to go to your plantation to let the slaves know what their master looks like. It would be better if you give some small favors, which will help you spread the reputation of kindness. Then, afternoon tea at 4 o'clock, dinner at 8 o'clock, and if you haven't slept yet at 10 o'clock, I'll ask someone to arrange evening tea."

Looking at miss ofey slamming the book, Lorraine was stunned: "although I am very satisfied with my life except eating and sleeping, this is all the schedule you have arranged?"

"Yes, that's all the agenda for today!" said Miss ofey angrily, "because you are a lonely, arrogant and self righteous English pagan!"
