Journey of the Infinite Wizard
Chapter 403: : The belated captain
"Master, interrupt your meal!"
The housekeeper Jambert walked to Jiang Ning's side with impeccable etiquette. He half-bended to salute, and put an invitation letter on the dining table.
"It's okay, Jambert." He glanced at the invitation letter on the dining table. "What is this?"
"Governor Swan ordered it, sir!" Jambert continued: "It is said that Captain Norrington will be promoted to brigadier general tomorrow, and you are specially invited to attend the ceremony!"
Jiang Ning wiped the non-existent oil stains on the corners of his mouth with a napkin, opened the invitation letter, and glanced at it. The dazzling polite language was written on it in swash English.
"I see." Jiang Ning raised his head and glanced at Jambert: "Get the carriage ready tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!"
...
After dinner, Jiang Ning came to the bedroom alone.
In the eight years since he settled in Port Royal, Jiang Ning has been alone. Although many people felt strange, they didn't say anything. However, when Jiangning gradually made a lot of money, many family members of colonial officials began to come and get close. Selling his daughter, hoping to form a marriage relationship with Jiangning.
Since capital began to rise, the status of merchants has increased day by day.
In the past, the status of merchants was extremely embarrassing, not only in China, but the world's impression of merchants was generally not good.
This phenomenon began to change after the rise of capital.
Although the nobles still maintain the so-called nobility, in terms of financial resources, the nobles are not necessarily wealthier than the merchants. Moreover, with the increase in wealth, the influence of businessmen has gradually increased and their status has also increased.
Except for a few die-hards, who still clung to their own opinions, most of the nobles began to change their inherent thinking.
Especially, Jiang Ning is both young and rich, even though he is a foreigner.
However, there are many foreigners these days.
Even in the territory controlled by the British, there are many people from other countries. Similarly, there are many foreigners living in other countries. The difference is only a matter of how many and few people live.
Then, facing such a young, handsome and rich bachelor, those colonial officials' families with daughters naturally have a lot more thoughts. If you can marry, form relatives.
Then, the combination of government and business to expand each other's families is also a matter of course.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ning has no interest in such marriages. I am also a little lacking in sowing seeds in another world. Although there is no hostess in the manor, if there is a physical need, Jiang Ning will vent in the brothel in the city down the hillside.
He will not deliberately suppress his physical needs, nor will he condone.
Everything is going with the flow, after all, even if you pursue a higher realm, you don't necessarily have to make yourself wantless. If that were the case, there would not be so many powerful existences in the multiverse.
In fact, mortals and gods have the same essence.
Everyone is a living creature. Even if they have different structures, they have different powers. In the final analysis, mortals seek power, and gods also seek power. The result is the same.
For rights, for enjoyment, and for perpetual enjoyment.
After all, with power, the corresponding rights and money will follow. If there is no desire and no desire, then it is equal to the loss of motivation and goal to move forward. Isn't this nonsense?
Whether it is the pursuit of enjoyment or the pursuit of truth, the ultimate goal is to enjoy.
So, the essence and the result are the same.
It's just another way of saying it.
...
Lifting the curtains, and then opening the huge windows, from his position, one can clearly see the bay in the distance and the city below!
The world of the 18th century, although there are still few entertainment methods, it is undoubtedly much richer than the Middle Ages in the dark age.
The law-abiding people in Anfen, naturally, go home early as soon as it gets dark.
The restless people linger between the tavern and the brothel, listening to the song, holding the glamorous prostitute with half of her **** in her arms, talking a few dirty jokes, drinking some wine, and going upstairs to work while she is drinking!
Moreover, at night, such pubs, brothels, and casinos naturally have no shortage of business.
The noisy environment, tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and poor-quality perfume sprayed on prostitutes are mixed together to form a weird smell. Don't expect that, as in the 21st century, everyone is polite and very quality meals.
In this era, sailors and hard-working crews lacked many qualities, even the nobles and kings.
Even in the 21st century, it is the same. It does not necessarily mean that the quality of Chinese people is worse, and the quality of foreigners is higher. Think about it from another angle, can the bad side be shown to foreigners?
Of course, the good side is revealed, but the bad side is actually the same.
Become nothing more than a human, because living conditions are better. I don’t eat the offal of the animal I ate before, so can I eat it if I dislike it? Don't eat dead people, right?
Jiang Ning was skeptical and curious at first, but he found out when he wandered around the restaurant one day. Then their descendants hated the animal innards, their ancestors actually ate very happy, very happy...
...
After cutting off all these jumbled thoughts in his mind, Jiang Ning took off his clothes and went to bed to rest.
On the second day, Jiang Ning woke up on time and rang the bell. The maids who had already gotten up pushed open the door and walked in, holding stacks of neat and clean dresses and clear and transparent face wash in their hands. After Jiangning got up, his maid helped to stack the quilt, and then he opened his arms and put on a gorgeous gown with the help of the maid. And he cleaned his face, and a maid stepped forward to examine his face carefully to see if it was necessary to clean his beard.
The result was naturally satisfied with the maids. The master's face was very clean and there was no beard. In fact, Jiang Ning didn't even plan to grow a beard. The Chinese beards are not dense and sparse. The beard is ugly, not like the white man, the body hair is luxuriant, both men and women. It's not like the Arab beards in the Middle East, each with a beard, nor is it like the 21st century white guys, who have a short beard if they can, and they look very masculine.
However, Jiang Ning's beard is very scarce, and his beard is not pretty. Therefore, Jiang Ning thoroughly used magic to forbid the growth of these beards, and always kept his clean and tender face!
After he finished washing, the housekeeper Jambert walked over, holding a top hat and wig in his hands.
Since a certain king of France bald and lost his hair, he put on a wig to hide his flaws. This weird trend swept the entire Europa, and the kings and nobles of various countries rushed to imitate, and then spread to the people and the army. However, if the folks have that condition, they naturally follow the trend, and the people who are struggling, naturally, they should do it!
Jiang Ning was very tired of this stuff, resolutely rejected it, took the top hat and put it on his head. After going downstairs to eat breakfast, he boarded the carriage with his guards and servants and drove to the high garrison fortress.
It didn't take long for the carriage to come to the fortress; after seeing him get off the carriage, the nine colonial officials and their families in advance greeted him politely. Regarding these, Jiang Ning returned the gifts one by one, and then Governor Swann brought his daughter Elizabeth Swan to Jiangning here. Very familiar greetings, in the eight years since he took office as Governor of Port Royal. During this period, Governor Swann and her daughter had several serious illnesses, and their lives were guaranteed by Jiangning's treatment. Therefore, Governor Swann was very grateful to Jiangning and took good care of his property.
And for Jiangning’s wines, Port Royal has provided a large amount of tax; it is said that the British royal family has also sent letters to commend Jiangning, so Governor Swann is very grateful and polite to Jiangning, and their relationship is closer on weekdays.
The two chatted happily, and it didn't take long for an officer to greet the celebrities and gentlemen present. Everyone naturally knew what was going on, and they walked to a specific place one after another. A group of red shrimp soldiers stood on both sides, and then a cheerful tune sounded. Jiang Ning saw that a group of Red Shrimp soldiers lined up in a loose formation, walking awkwardly, walking slowly with guns.
Under the command of the army chief, line up the formation, and then today's protagonist will appear as the finale. Wearing an officer's hat and wig, wearing a decent officer uniform, slowly walked towards the celebrity gentlemen.
The gift that Governor Swann prepared for Brigadier General Norrington was a rapier! The gift Jiang Ning prepared was a flintlock pistol inlaid with ivory handle!
Norrington liked these two gifts very much, and he thanked him with a slightly arrogant look!
Afterwards, this guy invited Governor Swann’s daughter, Elizabeth, to chat.
Then, Jiang Ning, accompanied by Governor Swann, chatted happily with a group of celebrity gentlemen.
White people are very realistic, especially as the strength of Britain has grown day by day over the years. This group of British people can't wait to grow their eyes above their heads. As a person from Asia, Jiang Ning was the kind of person who was discriminated against in Port Royal at the beginning.
It's just that Jiang Ning used a little trick and showed a little trick to make him the most popular person in Port Royal today.
The celebrity gentlemen and the daughters of various families have a great affection for him.
A pleasant chat began in a situation surrounded by beauty; many colonial officials were also engaged in business, and there were also large local businessmen here, everyone bragging, chatting about politics, and talking about possible partnerships by the way. The scene is the same thing, it makes a group of women who don't understand business and politics have a sense of unawareness and fierceness.
It gives them the feeling that they are so awesome, so awesome!
While chatting, Jiang Ning suddenly heard the call of Brigadier General Norrington; then, a group of Red Shrimp soldiers walked over, and Jiang Ning followed closely.
"What's the matter?" He asked Norrington who was beside him~www.wuxiaspot.com~Elizabeth, Elizabeth, she accidentally fell down. Brigadier General Norrington pointed to the sea below and said anxiously, then he was about to take off his clothes and jump down, but was dissuaded by the soldiers around him.
Jiang Ning stepped on the stone fort and looked down. In his eyes, there was a faint brilliance, and he clearly saw Elizabeth's figure sinking toward the bottom of the sea.
Afterwards, Jiang Ning saw another figure and jumped from the boat into the sea like a swimming fish.
"Jack Sparrow!"
...
Jack Sparrow arrived in Port Royal as scheduled and rescued Elizabeth who accidentally fell into the water. Afterwards, Norrington and his soldiers rushed in and discovered Jack's identity as a pirate. Moreover, he ridiculed that Jack was the worst pirate he had ever seen.
But Jiang Ning looked into the depths of the sea, and he felt a ship of undead heading here.
It was the cursed Black Pearl and Captain Barbosa.
