Chapter 390 Ten Thousand Pounds (6200 Plus)
St. Margaery.
First class cabin.
Aaron glanced at the not-so-small bedroom, bathroom, cloakroom, and guest room for the servants, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Ordinary first-class cabins are so luxurious, what kind of scenery should the suite look like? Is it a palace?"
He put the decorative drawing board and suitcase into the cloakroom, and lay down on the sofa, feeling his body being lifted softly, he couldn't help sinking his whole body into it, and sighed contentedly.
"This trip is considered a vacation...Speaking of which, although I was an earl, needless to say the material supplies at that time, I was also just a lower class in my previous life...I really can't imagine the happiness of the rich. .”
"The rest will be discussed in South Indonesia..."
Before, according to the conversation with Motura, the other party also gave some information.
For example——"Keeper of Secrets" seems to be focusing on the colony, and "History Research Association" has also developed a force in the world, operating in South Indonesia.
"Besides, the colonial rebels and voodoo are also worth noting..."
"Forget it, forget about it, go to the bar and have a good time!"
The largest bar on the Santa Margaery is only open to first and second class passengers.
In addition to the servants of the first-class passengers, the people living in the second-class cabin are mainly doctors, lawyers, teachers and other middle-class people.
As for the third-class passengers? There are actually a lot of places that are inaccessible on this luxury vacation liner.
...
Long travel life is always boring.
Therefore, places such as bars, swimming pools, and libraries have become good places for many people to have fun.
The passenger ship bar, at a small round table.
Aaron took a seat, with a glass of gin and tonic in front of him, and an entertainment tool similar to playing cards in his hand.
During this period of time, he smoothly integrated into the social circle of the St. Margaery and formed his own small circle.
"Queen!"
He played a queen card and looked at a man in his thirties who was wearing a brown formal suit and had two beautiful mustaches: "Kane, you said you heard about that lady?"
"Of course... How can such a beautiful lady live in an expensive first-class suite without making people curious?"
Kane is a senior lawyer who goes to the colony to handle business for a client. He is not that meticulous in normal times, but loves to joke.
Invensys uses a law that is partial to the maritime law system. A lawyer with outstanding eloquence will bring a lot of benefits to the client, so all the lawyers who can appear in court here are eloquent.
"Then... barrister, tell us quickly."
The eyes of Dr. Paul on the left are shining. He is a surgeon. He originally opened a small clinic by himself, but he created a big accident—he moved too fast when performing an amputation operation on a patient. The patient bled to death due to treatment, and accidentally injured the surgical assistant next to him, and also frightened a rich man who bought a ticket crazy...
Although he spent all his wealth and hired a barrister to act as a relationship, he finally avoided prison, but his doctor's license was inevitably revoked.
At this time, he was penniless and ready to go to the New World to try his luck. It was said that the 'witch doctor' there did not need a medical license.
Of course, these are the secrets obtained by Aaron through special means. Paul declared to the public that he was embarrassed because of the scandal with his nurse, so he went to the New World to hide.
Aaron's evaluation of him is that, as a wine and meat friend, except for some lewdness and poor medical skills, other aspects are pretty good.
"Paul, I advise you not to think about it, it's hopeless..."
Kane shook his head and said with a smile: "That Miss Helen Candy follows his mother's surname."
"Mother's last name?"
Bot, the last tall, thin, pale young man at the poker table, wondered, "Could it be that she is an illegitimate daughter of disrepute? But her style doesn't match the scale of her trip..."
"It is indeed an illegitimate daughter, but she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl, and she is very favored." Kane gave the answer: "This time she brought so many servants and nuns, she is going to Colonial married."
"Oh, my goddess..." Paul exaggeratedly covered his heart: "I'm so sad...disgusting political marriage!"
"The performance is a bit exaggerated." Aaron took a sip of his wine and commented lightly.
"Although it is a political marriage, Miss Candy's fiancé was carefully selected by the earl. He is a young military officer in the colony. It is said that he is handsome and has made great military achievements. He is a young man with a bright future." Kane sighed.
"How did you find out about this kind of news?" Bot asked curiously.
"Miss Candy has too many entourages to fit in the suite. Some of the servants live in the second-class cabin, which happens to be next door to me."
Kane explained the reason with a smile: "However, this Miss Candy's reputation is not very good. It is said that she is very arrogant and rude, without the demeanor of a real lady of high society... The most important thing is..."
Kane lowered his voice: "It is said that His Excellency the Earl gave a dowry of 10,000 pounds!"
"Ten thousand pounds?"
Paul let out an exclamation, his expression could not hide his jealousy: "It would be great if I were that fiance."
"Then I'm afraid you have to lose weight first, and then you will be twenty years younger." Aaron played the last card: "This is my win."
"Too cunning."
"You're taking the opportunity to get our attention."
Bot yelled a few words, and finally obediently took out a few silver shillings.
Aaron noticed that although he did not show his envy and jealousy like Paul, the eagerness in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.
However, people in this era are not ashamed of chasing wealth and power.
'I just hope that he won't think about being a bad face and seducing that illegitimate daughter to elope...'
Aaron lit a cigar for himself. It is said that these top-grade golden cigars are all rolled out of the thighs of beautiful female slaves in the tobacco plantations in South Indonesia.
But in his view, it's just an advertiser's gimmick.
While swallowing the clouds, Aaron also thought calmly in his heart:
'My premonition is correct, I am afraid that this ship is going to be destroyed...'
‘However, it’s really hard to say the cause of the shipwreck. Although the name of Ms. Helen Candy is somewhat similar to the real name of a shipwreck survivor...but I feel that the biggest unstable factor is myself. '
"If I study the 'Damo Talisman' here and attract a large number of giant sea monsters, this ship will definitely be destroyed..."
At this time, Kane's voice came from his ear: "The annoying guy is here, huh? He's pestering that Miss Ten Thousand Pounds!"
