Chapter 198: Painting Cakes

On Friday evening, a rented carriage drove in from the White Stone Gate of Enqi Town, passed the Mermaid Road, arrived at the Memorial Square in front of St. Witt Church, and headed in the direction of the Golden Champagne Avenue.

In the carriage, Xifa lowered the curtains and said sincerely: "I didn't expect that we have left for more than a month, and the town has changed so much."

At the place where they passed just now, Xifa saw that some streets had been paved with hard concrete roads.

Moreover, public toilets have been seen in some public places, like the Memorial Square just passed, which will greatly improve the sanitation situation in the town.

"It seems that the construction fund is operating normally. In time, our town will become a resort."

Xifa said happily, sincerely pleased with the changes in the town.

Soon, the baron's mansion arrived. When the iron gate opened and the carriage came near the fountain, Matthew opened the door first, jumped down, and then helped Xifa get off the carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, Xifa saw that the housekeeper Sebastian and the housekeeper Kunna led the male and female servants at home respectively, forming two rows to welcome them.

"Welcome home, Master Sifa."

All the servants said in unison with a standard standing posture and a respectful attitude.

Xifa nodded and said hello to Sebastian and Kunna. At this time, a small figure rushed out of the gate and shouted happily: "Brother, Brother Xifa, you are finally back."

It turned out to be the youngest member of the family, Chaum.

Although he was arranged by Bison to become Chaum's 'shield', Xifa still liked this little boy from the bottom of his heart.

The little boy in a pocket-sized tuxedo was picked up by Xifa: "Our little general, see what I brought you."

After gesturing to Matthew, the footman handed over a beautifully crafted box and opened it, and Sifer took out a short sword from it.

Give it to Jom.

Qiao Mu shouted excitedly: "It's a sword! It's a real sword!"

He pulled it out, gestured a few times, and jumped up and down happily.

Cifer rubbed his head, then took his hand and walked into the house.

Behind him, Matthew and Gru entered the house with other servants holding wrapped presents.

Entering the hall, I saw Pasha, the little girl adopted by Baisen before. I haven't seen her for a while, and her spirit is much better than before.

The blush became rosy, and she wore a skirt with intricate ruffles and her hair was carefully combed, making her look like a beautiful little princess.

Apparently during this period of time, she has received etiquette training. Seeing Xifa enter the house, the little girl gently raised her skirt to salute: "Welcome back, brother Xifa."

"Hello, Pasha."

Xifa took a gift from Matthew and gave it to her, saying, "I brought this from Tingen, I hope you like it."

The little girl said happily, "Can I take it apart now?"

The housekeeper next to her, Kunna, coughed dryly, and Pasha stuck out her tongue: "I forgot, the gift can only be opened when I go back to the house."

Xifa laughed: "Then go back to the house and take it apart to have a look."

He looked around, but he didn't see Byson, his mother, or his sister Harri Belle.

Sebastian, the housekeeper with a classical appearance and a gray beard, seemed to understand Sifa's thoughts. He said calmly: "Master Sifa, Madam and Miss Harribell are receiving a guest. Your father is in his study Dealing with affairs, he has been very busy recently, he told you that if you come back, please go to the study to find him first."

"OK."

Xifa asked Matthew to distribute the remaining gifts to everyone in the family. He prepared a pipe for Sebastian, perfume for Ms. Kunna, and some small gifts for other servants.

Of course, the servant's gift can be given to Sebastian and Kunna, and let them distribute it to their respective servants.

Xifa came to the study alone. He adjusted his mentality in front of the door to put a smile on his face, and then knocked on the wooden door.

"Come in."

With Baisen's permission, Xifa opened the door, and saw his adoptive father was looking at the materials at the desk, and his desk was covered with various letters.

"I'm back, Father."

Hearing Sifa's voice, Baisen raised his head. Under the light, the baron's forehead was shining brightly, and Sifer noticed that his hairline seemed to recede a little quietly.

"You're back, Sifer."

Baisen laughed loudly, put down the materials in his hand, walked over, and gave Xifa a strong hug.

Then let go of him, stepped back a little, and after looking at Xifa from head to toe, Baisen nodded: "Well, you have become more mature and stable, which makes me finally feel at ease and put some important things on the table. Leave it to you to handle."

Xifa responded with a smile, and asked casually, "Are there any guests at home?"

Bai Sen frowned, looked outside the door, and said in a low voice, "Your mother's teacher is here, a smelly old man, I don't like him."

"Mother's teacher?"

Xifa was stunned for a moment. Could it be an 'Abraham'? Why did my mother's teacher come here? It shouldn't be as simple as visiting students.

"You did a good job this time. McGovern has already promised me a large loan, which allows me to smoothly carry out my plan to invest in the steel industry."

"In addition, the collaborators introduced by Sir Vedel are very attractive and rich. They will be good partners."

"It's just that Congressman Maynard is more regretful. I didn't expect such an excellent man like him to encounter such an accident, hey."

Baisen walked back to the desk, sat down, and smiled again on his face: "Anyway, my plan is going well."

"By the way, I've done an investigation about your assassination. Remember the big businessman I told you about?"

Xifa recalled it for a while, and then said: "Livekang Peter?"

"That's right, it's him."

Baisen said excitedly: "He is dead, in a very strange way. I guess he arranged the strange assassination you encountered, but the person he arranged died in Tingen inexplicably, so , he was avenged."

"This is good news for me. I can take this opportunity to annex his company. He happens to have a steelmaking plant under his name. I have already arranged it. The acquisition should be successfully completed at a price lower than the market price."

"One more good news for you."

Baisen looked at him with a smile and said: "Sifa, you have grown up and proved your own ability. So I decided to divide the property. I will divide part of the land under my name, as well as my lumberyard and farm. Come out and transfer to your name."

"However, it will take time and legal procedures. Therefore, when you have made achievements at sea, obtained meritorious service, and become a top official of the Royal Navy, I think the time is almost up."

If it was before, Xifa would definitely be grateful. But now, he only felt that Baisen had painted himself a pie.

A big pie.

But whether it can be eaten is still unknown.
