There are no words to describe Claude's joyful mood when he met his family, but Claude was still startled when he entered the house. A big white dog half as tall as a man suddenly jumped out of the house and took him to the house. Claude fell to the ground, a big wet tongue licking Claude's face.
The big man Gemie who was following behind was also startled. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and prepared to come up to rescue Claude. Fortunately, Mike, who was behind him, could see clearly and knew that Claude was not in trouble. Instead of being attacked, this big white dog was making out with Claude. Uncle Peg behind him was not surprised at all, he just called the big white dog's name loudly: "Pluto, get out of the way, don't pester your master."
Claude finally pushed the big white dog lying on him away. This was the little snow dog he brought home back then. He didn't expect that he would recognize him after not seeing him for five years. This was an unexpected surprise. But now that she's grown up, she's not as cute as she was when she was little.
Hearing the commotion outside, my mother came out of the house. When she saw Claude sitting on the ground and the big white dog jumping around him, she was startled. She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, it's our Pluto's fault. I didn't hurt you." Bar."
Claude grabbed the big white dog by the neck, shook it, and replied with a smile: "It's me, mother, I'm back, and Pluto is making out with me."
"Ah? Claude..." The mother was filled with surprise: "You, it's you, are you really back?"
Claude climbed up from the ground, not caring about dusting off his clothes. He took two steps forward and hugged his mother: "Mom, it's me, I'm really back."
The mother said no more, she just cried with joy and hugged Claude tightly.
The big white dog didn't join in the fun at this time. Instead, it focused on Mike and the big guy who were following behind, circling around the two of them and getting closer to smell them from time to time.
"Mom, who's here?" A clear voice rang out, and a beautiful woman with big eyes came out holding a pan. She immediately saw Claude embracing his mother.
With a "bang", the pan fell to the ground. The big-eyed beauty stared at Claude: "Brother, brother, you are back..."
"Yeah, I'm finally back." Claude let go of his mother and walked into the restaurant holding her hand: "I didn't expect that the little one who was always crying would grow up and turn into such a beautiful girl. A great beauty. Anna, you broke the pot in half, why don't you clean it up quickly?"
His younger brother Blovik, who was staying upstairs, heard the commotion downstairs and came down. The little chubby naughty boy he had not seen for five years had grown into a handsome young boy. Blovik, who is now almost fourteen years old, is already a second-year student at Bailu City Elementary School. He was escorted to school by his sister Anna last year. For this, he was beaten several times by Anna and finally changed him. Reluctance to go to school.
Having not seen Claude for five years, Brovik was a little afraid of strangers at first. But soon he found the attachment in Claude that made him miss and engraved deep in his memory. He has never forgotten the care and love Claude gave him and Anna when they were children. He will stick to Claude's side and refuse to leave. He insists on listening to Claude tell him about the experience of killing enemies on the battlefield. I am envious of the three green stars on my shoulder straps.
After saying hello to Claude's family, Michael Jack and the big man Gemi were busy carrying the carriage of things Claude bought from the carriage to their home. Fortunately, Claude had all the things on the outer packaging of these things. After marking it, please make it clear to whom it is given. Some of the most important and valuable items were sent by Claude to the study on the second floor, where his sister Anna studied magic and conducted alchemy magic experiments.
A corner of the restaurant was filled with these items. Mother, who was going to cook a big meal for Claude and the three of them, curiously asked Claude how much he had spent to buy these items. Claude didn't pay attention to his mother's question and answered frankly that it cost nearly five hundred gold crowns. As a result, his mother almost had a heart attack. For the next two hours, she was condemned by her for wasting money and buying things indiscriminately.
Fortunately, sister Anna went out to buy ingredients and came back quickly, which finally prevented her mother from complaining so much. Claude felt aggrieved. His family was rich, so why were they so fussy about it? Besides, it was her own money spent. Why was my mother so angry
Mother and sister Anna were busy in the kitchen for two hours, and finally made a meal that satisfied them to entertain the two guests, Mike and the big man. At this time, Claude was already so hungry that he was weak. . At this moment, the mother didn’t know that McJack and Big Germi were actually Claude’s subordinates. They misunderstood and regarded McJack and Big Germi as Claude’s colleagues and friends, and they tried their best to entertain them. So that the two of them can leave a good impression, and also take care of Claude in the army.
It was only when they were sitting down to eat that Michael Jack and the big man Germi were afraid to sit at the top. After Claude introduced them, they realized that these two young soldiers were still Claude's subordinates. They were orphans and had nowhere to go even if they got a holiday, so they accepted Claude's invitation to accompany Claude home to visit relatives. So their mother and sister Anna were full of sympathy and warmly welcomed them both as guests at home...
Claude enjoyed the feast very much, and the big man Germi also showed off his endless belly. In the end, all the remaining food went into his stomach, and even Blovik reached out to touch his belly. , curious as to where all the food went.
During the meal, Claude only chose some interesting stories from the army to tell everyone. Even his meritorious service experience of how he was promoted to captain and received the Knight Medal was ignored. He didn't want his mother to know the risks he took on the battlefield. risks and bloody battles. The dining atmosphere was very harmonious, but my mother thought of my father and muttered a few words, saying that if my father were still alive, he would definitely be proud of your achievements, and the sadness was gone.
However, his sister Anna mentioned a long-lost name. To be honest, Claude almost forgot that he had a nominal elder brother. If his sister Anna hadn't mentioned it, Claude wouldn't have been able to remember what this big brother named Albert looked like. But my mother was very proud, saying that Albert was now promising.
It turned out that the eldest brother named Albert had never been home in the past five years, but he did send two letters to his mother. The first letter said that he was currently serving an earl and was very busy and had no time to go home to visit his mother. The second letter was sent back at the same time as the first letter last year, at the end of the year. It was rare that I included a ten-gold coin in the letter to my mother. I said it was my savings in the past few years and sent it to my mother. She bought some delicious food to replenish her health, and asked her mother to forgive him for the mistakes he had made in the past due to his ignorance...
This letter moved my mother to tears. It was her greatest joy that her eldest son, Albert, could turn around. The gold dollar scroll worth ten gold crowns was even framed by my mother and placed beside her bed. As long as she sees this gold dollar scroll, her mother will think of Albert and be very happy.
"Has mother replied to the letter?" Claude asked.
"Reply." Sister Anna replied: "My mother wrote several replies since she received the first letter, but Albert never replied. It was not until the second letter that he asked his mother not to send him a letter. He was The earl was running around and was very busy. The letters he sent would not be received until he returned home at the end of the year. He was often laughed at by the earl's servants, so he asked his mother not to write any more replies. If he had anything to do, he would He could write a letter to tell his mother, so his mother didn’t need to worry about him, so her mother didn’t write a letter later... "
Claude just nodded, not caring about the situation of his nominal eldest brother. It's great that he is still alive and doing well. Even if he encounters misfortune, Claude will not shed a tear for him. Anyway, there is no brotherly love between them. And now the future of the Field family is in the hands of his younger brother Blovik. Even if the eldest brother comes back, he won't be able to change things.
After finishing the meal, it was Claude's turn to present the treasure. He should show his mother what he had spent a huge sum of nearly five hundred gold crowns to buy. I remember that his father, Mr. Morsan, was forced to commit suicide by jumping off a building due to a debt of five hundred gold crowns, seeking a way out for his family. Now Claude spent the same amount of money to buy useless gadgets. In the eyes of his mother, this was simply a sign of treason.
"Mother, these are all antiques. Look at this set of twenty-eight pieces of gold and silver tableware. It has a history of more than 200 years and was made by Van Delon, the personal master of the seventh generation Grand Duke Limodra. , it is said that this thing was found on the market after the current butler of the Grand Duke of Rimodra fled with a batch of things. I got a bargain and bought it for only half the price.
This nine-piece set of crystal-embellished gold-patterned tea sets was the most cherished item of Madame Dinia, the favorite concubine of the fourth Archduke Sidings more than 300 years ago. It is said that Madam Dinia loved to invite guests to Two or three best friends were enjoying tea and smelling the fragrance in the garden. In the famous oil painting "Afternoon Tea with Madame Diniya", this crystal tea set is placed on the table... "
In fact, the most valuable antiques Claude bought were these two sets, and he thought they were genuine. But the owner of the small stall selling these two sets of treasures didn't think so. The main reason is that there are too many imitations of these two sets of antique treasures on the market, so he does not think these two sets are genuine, only that the imitations are in place.
But Claude opened the Eye of Exploration. From the perspective of magic, the treasures that have truly experienced the precipitation of time are completely different from the imitations. Therefore, Claude did not expect that he would have such luck at the time. As they were the real masterpieces among the counterfeit goods, they stopped bargaining with the boss. In the eyes of the boss who looked at the culprit, he agreed to the high price that the boss thought he was right and bought these two sets of precious antiques.
"Mom, I have asked someone to appraise them. These two sets are genuine antiques with a market value of nearly a thousand gold crowns, so I only spent one-third of the price to buy them and have already made a lot of money." Claude replied calmly. Mother's suspicion.
"Yes, but this is too precious." The mother eliminated her suspicion, but became a little at a loss: "It's too uncomfortable to leave it at home. What if someone finds out that it has been stolen? We have to hire someone to keep vigil..."
"It's not necessary, just collect it carefully. I think these two sets of antiques can become the heirlooms of our Field family. This is the family's heritage. Little Booker can pass it on to his descendants in the future." Claude didn't care. In his eyes, the value of these two sets of antique treasures was not as interesting as the magic items he bought on the black market.
The next few antiques were gifts for family members. My mother got a ruby necklace, which was said to have come from a noble family in the Principality of Sidings. My sister Anna got a diamond flower crown. It was a birthday gift from the daughter of a marquis in a certain principality. It had been stolen for a long time. His younger brother Brovik received a gold-inlaid scimitar. It was said to be a coming-of-age gift from the Grand Duke of Karnas to a nobleman in the Duchy of Esquiline. It should have been sold on the black market by a soldier of the kingdom. Shining gold coins…
What Claude bought for himself was the shotgun made by the Baroness's father, the famous gun master. In addition, I also bought a set of 56 pieces of high-quality silver tableware for my family. It will be more honorable to use it to entertain guests at home in the future. This fine silverware set is not an antique, but a custom-made piece. It should be an item left behind in the home of a noble in a certain principality. It was seized by the soldiers of the kingdom and then hidden away and then sold on the black market.
Just because these things came in sets and needed to be carefully kept, they were packed very thickly and had to be shockproof during transportation, so the entire carriage of the two-purpose carriage was filled to the brim. For Claude, although he spent nearly five hundred gold crowns, the actual price was more than fifteen hundred. There were also several magic items he took upstairs that he couldn't buy even if he had money. Arrived. Claude felt very lucky to be able to find and buy it on the black market.
Next, my mother took matters into her own hands, and together with her sister, she rewrapped the two sets of genuine antiques one by one and put them back into the boxes, and then asked Claude to take them to the third floor and put them in her mother's room. I don't know if my mother will be able to sleep well in the future. If my mother suffers from insomnia, then Claude will be guilty.
As for the set of fifty-six pieces of fine silverware, my sister Anna decided to go to the furniture workshop tomorrow to order a display cabinet and put it in the dining room. You can use it at any time when entertaining guests in the future, which is convenient and can be shown off. Only then did Claude realize that Mr. Lubiwell, Bockar's father, was right. Now it was his sister Anna who made the decision in the family, and her mother had no say in these matters.
After all this is done, the next thing to consider is accommodation. Now the small attic is his younger brother Blovik's private world. The third floor is the mother's bedroom and the sister's boudoir. Albert's former room on the second floor can be used as a residence for Mike and the big man. Claude can only work in his sister Anna's pharmacy in the former study. The room is paved.
The mother and sister went to the second floor to tidy up the room. Claude, Mike and the big man were led by their younger brother Blovik to go shopping on the street to see if there were any clothing stores that were still open and prepare to buy three clothes for themselves. People buy some casual clothes so they don't have to wear military uniforms all the time on vacation.
