There was a mess in Luxi Manor.

There were servants and slaves decorating the festival everywhere, and the still green lawn was full of children chasing stupid turkeys.

Christmas trees, colorful flowers, ribbons, mistletoe hanging on the door and copper bells dotted in every corner.

As Lorraine's first Christmas in Lucie, everything here was arranged by Orphe, who was determined to become the world's number one housekeeper.

The sense of responsibility requires her to check the position of each decoration, grasp the status of every detail, and ensure that everything is perfect.

However, true perfection can never come, because this grand Christian festival, its host has been determined to be a pagan, a complete pagan.

This is the biggest disaster.

Orphe allowed himself to be discouraged for a few seconds. After a few seconds, the strong lady of Ireland raised her back and shouted loudly at the yard.

"Monica! Dear Monica, is the dinner designed today? There have been so many guests these days. The kitchen should adapt. We should not postpone the dinner until the midnight snack time like yesterday! That's too rude!"

"Everything is ready, Orphee!" Monica stretched her head out from the back of the house, with delicate flour on her face. "If my mother is in charge, you just need to rest assured!"

"But you said so yesterday!"

Monica stuck out her tongue and crawled back to the kitchen. Orphe had no choice but to look around for the next target.

"Fenlier! Ask those Indians to pull out those scary totem poles! If you have guests here these days, you are not allowed to celebrate your celebration! No!"

"Yes, Miss Butler!" Finriel pursed his lips boredly and hurried to inform the tribes to stop the bonfire dance tonight.

“And…and…”

Orphe was thinking, and the children were suddenly cheering loudly. The children shouted and ran towards the beach. The guests in Orphe also brought out each other, greeting each other and looking in the same direction.

Lorraine came back and appeared at Lucie Manor with all his seafarers for the first time in full capacity.

The tall Kron was thrown into the spot by three or two boys without taking two steps. Behind the boy was a girl, and behind the girl were many adult men and women, surrounded by a pair of mentally strong old men and women.

Cron looked at them blankly, confused, confused, surprised, unbelievable.

"Ship...captain?"

Lorraine smiled and pushed him: "I will have holidays for Christmas in previous years to reunite you with your family, but this year we are in the New World. Even if you have two months of vacation, you may not have time to see your family."

"So before going to Boston, I sent a letter to Ramos, asking Northwest Europe to ask each of your family to ask them to attend the Christmas annual meeting. As you can see, your parents, seven siblings and their family, and three nieces and nieces all want to see you."

"They have suffered a lot even if Ramos takes care of them. Go quickly."

"This...this..." The tall Kron ran into the crowd with red eyes and couldn't stand it, and suddenly braked more than one meter away from the old man. "Father, I am already the supervisor of a large shipyard, with a position like a master! That shipyard is much larger than the Bell dock in Losie Moutts, and even a first-level dock..."

A group of people left and laughed and left, and Bell whistled with his waistband.

"Even though I miss you so much, everyone is keeping a distance except for the children. Father and son, husband and wife are no exception. They are worthy of being Finnish."

"Northern Europe has a bitter and cold problem. People have the habit of being independent. Only when they are farther away will they be comfortable. If they are too close, they will not be able to feel the joy of reunion wholeheartedly."

"Is this the surprise you said?"

Lorraine smiled slightly: "How does the Christmas surprise feel?"

Bell shrugged his shoulders: "It's a thank you to your branch chamber that can find such a big family."

"The Kron family is not difficult to find." Lorraine pointed to the family, "his parents often had a small boat dock, just along the Baltic Sea. The eldest brother inherited the family business, and the eldest sister married her colleagues in the same town. The third, fifth and sixth were all working in the chamber of commerce. The youngest sister had just graduated from the chamber of commerce recently and went to the university in Turku to study philosophy. She is the most famous talented woman in the town."

Bell raised his eyebrows: "Why does it sound like you are taking care of?"

"This family does not need deliberate care. The origin of family education is there. Karen's parents have raised every child very well. All they need is opportunity."

As he was talking, a scream suddenly came from the end of the road.

"What a god, little Pierce! The most out-of-worker boy in our Artis family has grown up so big?"

Seeing Little Pierce standing shyly in front of a pair of three farmers who were not amazingly beautiful, Bell opened his mouth.

"I remember, didn't Pierce's parents die? Legally you are his guardian now, right?"

"This matter..." Lorraine touched her nose embarrassedly, "I didn't know that Pierce had a relative alive when she was going through the guardian procedures. It was not until we set out to the New World that he told me that he had an aunt and a cousin of similar age."

"cousin?"

Lorraine secretly pointed at the quiet little girl holding the corner of Pierce's clothes and said softly.

"His aunt is a snobbish woman. As soon as Pierce got on the boat, she asked the gentleman in the town to occupy the property and shop of Pierce's family. Later, I heard that Pierce had become the vice president and shareholder of a large chamber of commerce, and she wanted to get that girl and Pierce engaged on the spot."

"Pearce refused?"

"It was the little girl who refused." Lorraine grinned. "Now my aunt's family is a handmade tapestry agent of the Chamber of Commerce. The transaction volume of six or seven hundred pounds a year is enough to make them have enough food and clothing. But the little girl gave up the church school and found Ramos's wife by herself, applied to study in the Chamber of Commerce school. I heard that she had both good character and academic performance."

Bell laughed lewdly: "Why do I think Pierce will sooner or later fall into the gentle land of an outstanding cousin?"

"You are not the only one who thinks." Lorraine's mouth full of old father's tone, "In fact, everyone on the boat feels so."

After Cron and Pierce, the seafarers' families gathered one after another.

On the left is Carmen and his parents, a couple who look quite weak in the country squire.

Carmen's father was urging his outstanding daughter.

"Carmen, Sir Alfonso divorced your cousin a few years ago, and God still refused to give them children. Sir Alfonso has been at home several times and helped us solve some troubles, including your brother..."

"What trouble did my timid brother who dared not go out to sea cause? He was jealous of others, but retreated at the duel?"

Carmen obviously said it was right.

Her father turned aside with a dark face: "Your brother's affairs have been solved by Jazz with prestige, and you don't need to worry about it anymore! Carmen, what I want to say is Jazz. Several times, Jazz kept mentioning you and was obsessed with you..."

"Please let that noble jazz give up!" Carmen held his mother's hand and interrupted his father unreasonably, "Father, I can't think of any reason to give up my career and marry him."

"He is the agent of the Grand Duke in Belmeo!"

"He can't afford a poor agent who earns only 2,000 to 3,000 pounds a year." Carmen smiled disdainfully, "Father, the world is different. A desolate black port cannot afford me, a short-sighted squire cannot afford me, and a few tens of thousands of pounds of industries cannot afford me. Your daughter has seen the vastness of the world, and I live well in this vast world."

Carmen's father was completely suppressed, and he was forced to support his dignity as a father, insisting: "You...but you are a woman..."

"Mother, can you go to my room? I have prepared several new sets of dresses for you, all of which are authentic oriental Su embroidery, the most expensive fabrics, each set worth more than a hundred pounds. And jewelry, have you ever seen rubies as big as fists? I took them from an auction in New Orleans four months ago, and it only costs 1,600 pounds. I want to tell me that most gentlemen are blind…"

On the right side is Yacharin's special show.

Lorraine heard that his family was a small businessman in Porto, but the current situation was obviously not very consistent.

Yacharin's father was wearing a new and straight tuxedo, supporting his short and fat figure. He was beside him a lady in gorgeous clothes, and behind him was a shy beauty.

Yacharin's eyes were a little straight.

"Father……"

"Ya Zha, I received the gold coins you sent to your house a few months ago. They saved the Desai family. No! It was you who saved the Desai family again!"

"Um?"

"Don't you know? Since you came to the New World, our family's visitors have increased several times."

"I can't do it anymore." Fat father waved his hand, "The 68,000 pounds of compensation will make my family lose its tiles, so your uncle thought of you and wanted to extend the compensation to ten to fifteen years by using me to make peace for them."

"I thought, how could I have such a face? But I couldn't stand your uncle's request, so I went to Southampton."

"Who knew that the offshore guild actually agreed, and the compensation period was extended to ten years, with an annual interest rate of 5% of the total amount, and an annual payment of 10,200 pounds. Everyone in the family knew that you saved the Desay family for the first time."

"Then a few months ago, in order to pay off this year's money, your uncle was going to sell a grape estate outside Porto, but he was maliciously suppressed the price."

"Your uncle was not upset because he turned down the purchase request from the Narlo family, and even your cousin Cecilia's engagement was politely returned by the other party."

"Do you know? That's Cecilia, a cousin you liked since childhood but dared not pursue! Of course I was angry, but you happened to send another three thousand pounds, and I bought the manor for eight thousand pounds in front of the envoy of the Narlo family!"

Yacharin was so dazzled by the thrustling long speech that he heard eight thousand pounds and was shocked.

"Wait! Father, where did you get the eight thousand pounds!"

"Uh...that's not a momentary indifference..."

“Is the contract fake?”

"Really, and notarized by God."

"But where did you get the eight thousand pounds!"

"That..." The fat father scratched his head embarrassedly, "I calculated that you sent the money in September, that is, in the New World, you earned more than three thousand, so I paid 3,000 first, and the remaining 5,000 will be paid in one year, and you will definitely get it done."

I remember that Riacharin never made such a miserable expression of a father-in-law getting married: "No...wait a little longer! Why do you want me to pay for your grape estate!"

"This is not a simple manor!" Fat father said dissatisfied, "Do you know? This is your face, and Desay's face!"

"After this contract was reached, the family's veterans immediately transferred your inheritance to 11. Even your uncle said that it was his most correct choice in his life to grant you the Drake Chamber of Commerce during the war."

"Charge? Are you crazy? When did he..."

"More than that! Haven't you seen us bring your Cousin Cecilia this time? You are almost 30, and she is 16 this year. Your uncle said, since you have always liked her, let you get married in the New World. Anyway, this is also a place where God shines!"

"Get married?!"

Until then, the shy beauty behind her fat father raised her head, her eyes circling, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring.

"Cousin~~~"

"I don't want to get married!" Yacharin screamed to the sky, "I don't want to get married! Father, I will give you the five thousand pounds immediately. You asked me about the three thousand I borrowed. I will give you it. Get my cousin away, please, get Cecilia away!"

Yacharin begged bitterly, but it was too late.

As soon as he heard that he could take out another five thousand pounds, his cousin's eyes became even more affectionate and turned to attack directly. A beautiful waltz took Yacharin's arm.

"Cousin~~~ I don't mind the desolation of the New World, really!"

"God! Did your self-clean believer do something wrong!!!"
