Chapter 914 It turns out that there are times when you can’t do it (please give me your monthly vote)
At the banquet, Lorraine, as the host, of course refused to let him go and had to drink with Lester and the other old guys, while Catherine, Lorena, Melina and the others entertained Adeline and the four of them in the back.
.
Second Young Master Lei also implemented his excellent characteristic of being "crazy". He took Xiaobai and mingled with the Imperial Guard soldiers in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion, while bragging to them about his wonderful adventure stories.
"At that time, there were a thousand lichs screaming loudly. And all of them were burly men with a height of eight feet and a waist circumference of eight feet.
They rushed towards me together. The scene was really terrifying...
Do you know what horror is?
It's just scary and terrifying.
The scene at that time was really terrifying. If it were anyone else, I would have been scared to death. But who am I? Can I be afraid of them?
He immediately fired the magic cannon, did you see...
It's the long tubes in the war fortress above.
I fired a cannon at them.
Boom boom boom boom...
Immediately they will be blown to pieces..."
After hearing Leo's boast, the soldiers were immediately amazed.
Although some veteran scoundrels don't quite believe Leo's smooth bragging, it does not hinder their interest in listening to stories. Especially in Leo's stories, there are a lot of stories about those with big breasts and thin waists.
A description of a demon woman with long legs and round butt.
Everyone was extremely happy, but during the banquet, Lorraine felt that her heart was bleeding.
He was surprised to find just now that the old guys Lester and Obachm had good drinking abilities. And they were quite good.
Not to mention, these old guys are all very discerning, with extremely vicious eyes and thieves. They only select good wines from the wine cellar of the Governor's Palace.
What about Finney, Redstad, Moutine, Sandfer...etc., they all have to be from the best years.
A few old guys can tell if it's old enough as soon as they pick it up, and they won't be merciful at all.
Moreover, these old guys are extremely picky with the idea of drinking other people's wine without feeling sad. They open the bottle and take a sip first. As long as it tastes even slightly worse, they won't drink it.
"This is not bad. Well, this is not bad either."
"It's not bad, although the quantity is a bit small."
"Hey, you actually have a Royal Chaud here, take it and take it. I told you why I didn't grab a bottle of Royal Chaud from the 1941 vintage in Abdwad. It turns out that it's all in your hands."
"Ha, it turns out that the out-of-print bottle of Royal Salute Twenty-One Guns from the last auction is here with you. At that time, I thought it was bought by an outsider, which made me feel heartbroken for several days."
"That so-and-so, take this bastard away. He's only 420 years old, and you're sending him off to a beggar~!"
"And this lobster, are you embarrassed to take out a three-and-a-half-foot-long one? Is this a dish for guests at the Governor's Palace?
Go tell your cook that after five minutes, there is not a five-foot-long lobster on the table, and I will ask the law enforcement team to come to you all for tea tomorrow~!"
"..."
Listening to them eating there, yelling arrogantly, and then opening a bottle with a "bang" every now and then, and then opening a bottle with a "bang" every now and then.
Lorraine couldn't help but shudder every time she heard it. You must know that when the prince and the high priest fought hard, he had never felt such pain.
But looking at those old guys, he could only bleed in his heart and giggle. Tears were about to fall.
Among them were several bottles of good wine, which I had stolen from the Almohad house when I ransacked them.
At that time, they were all packed in gold boxes and placed together with some gems and gold. Seeing their value, Lorraine copied them as good things and stored them in his own wine cellar. Since then, he has been busy without touching the ground.
, and finally forgot about it.
And Catherine and the others are not good at drinking, and they only occasionally sip a few sips of red wine.
As a result, this time, everything was better than Lester and the others.
Like locusts, they plundered Lorraine's treasures, not just drinking them. What's even worse is that after they saw them, they couldn't drink them and still carried them away.
Only some Laobaigan, Erguotou and the like were left for Lorraine.
In this era that belonged to the aristocracy, there were no additives or chemical products, and the wine was completely pure. It took a lot of effort to make a good bottle of wine.
Not to mention, it has to go through many years of cellaring and fermentation, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The process is long and complicated.
If you are not careful, a bottle of good wine can turn into a bottle of good vinegar.
Therefore, the value of a bottle of good wine is far more than the same volume of gold, especially some aged wines that have been stored in cellars for many years, and are even rare.
With Leo's aristocratic cultivation, Vera's vicious vision, and the tastes of Catherine and others, it is not surprising that these good things would appear in Lorraine's hands.
But once the good wine accumulated over such a long time fell into the eyes of those old guys, it was completely impossible to get rid of it.
After their powerful sweep, it has now been basically wiped out.
Lorraine looked at each of them like a bastard eating barley, happily drinking the wine that belonged to him, but he could only grit his teeth and feel cruel in his heart.
Lord Luo is also a man who never loses money. Although he is not good at wine, and he still has a certain psychological shadow - in the beginning, he was deceived with good wine and pushed to the laboratory.
Go as a guinea pig. (See Chapter 1)
But at this time, he also made up his mind and said: "Drink~! Even if I vomited blood after drinking today, I must drink it back~!"
Then……
Then, Lorraine became depressed again~!
When he drank two bottles, his stomach was so distended that he had to go to the toilet. Only then did he realize that he had misjudged the situation.
The faces of those old guys are all glowing~!
All of them were in high spirits, and the more they drank, the more energetic they became, and the more they drank, the more energetic they became. It was as if what they drank was not wine, but the fountain of youth.
St. Paul is also a veteran of the alcohol battlefield. Seeing Lorraine's face flushed and drunk, he immediately realized that Lorraine was failing in one aspect. As a result, he was as happy as anything, and finally said proudly: "
You have always thought that you are a boy and can do everything. It turns out that there are times when you can’t."
Then, relying on his status as an advantageous father-in-law, he kept teasing Lorraine, and Lester also followed suit. Sometimes he said it was because of Adele, sometimes he said it was because of Lorena, and sometimes he said it was because of Vera. Anyway, it was just a bottle of
Put the bottle in front of Lorraine.
Ohid was very rough and arrogant, not like a magician at all, but like a warrior. He would drink too much and drink wine from anyone he caught, and then he would happily sing around the table while carrying a bottle of wine.
Only Obachm was polite and drank by himself.
Lorraine caught Obachm away and asked quietly: "Why are these old guys so drunk?"
Obachm looked at Lorraine very strangely and said matter-of-factly: "Don't people often invite you to dinner? You get it after drinking too much."
Lorraine slapped his forehead and thought that these old men were also tested by alcohol. Thinking about it, whether it was Lester and Ohid who were mages, or Obachm and St. Paul who were priests, they
When I was young, I often had to invite others to drink.
After they become successful, people often come to buy them drinks.
What's more, when these old guys go out to drink, they probably spend public funds on the best ones, so they naturally have a vicious eye.
Lorraine smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Well, I really rarely eat out."
Obachm was stunned for a moment and whispered: "You are the governor..."
Then Obachm suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said: "I understand."
The old man laughed jokingly and shook the wine glass in his hand.
Lorraine curled his lips helplessly, of course he knew what Obham understood.
As the head of the top ten outstanding young people, Governor Lorraine is naturally well-known throughout the continent. When everyone mentions Governor Lorraine, the first thing that comes to mind is his money-hungry temper, and then there are rumors that he is afraid of his wife.
"The grape trellis has fallen down" has now become a common ridicule in mainland China.
Some people even made up a joke about "The Detachment of Women raided a big brothel and Governor Luo fled naked", and they joked about Luo Lin from time to time.
But in general, the attitude of these people can be attributed to jealousy. They were jealous that Lord Lorraine had several beautiful girlfriends, and then maliciously slandered Lord Lorraine, but everyone agreed, which felt a bit like destroying the bones.
President Leo once specifically came out to clarify this, "Boss Lorraine is not afraid of his wife at all. My boss just listens to his girlfriend."
Leo's words spread quickly, but few people know the last sentence, which is "Just like me."
But the fact is that Governor Lorraine rarely eats out.
Several old guys laughed at Lorraine as if they had discovered a new world, and each boasted about how great they were at picking up girls when they were young.
Lester suddenly said: "That's not because you're afraid of your wife, that's because you love your wife."
Lorraine suddenly remembered that Lester was also famous for being afraid of his wives in Maple Leaf Danlin. Lorraine could only laugh dumbly and was not as knowledgeable as the old guy.
The banquet lasted until midnight. After sending Lester and the others away, Lorraine shook her groggy head and soaked in the extra-large bathroom in the Governor's Palace.
Just when Lorraine was feeling comfortable and about to fall asleep, a pair of smooth and slender breasts entered the bathtub, snuggled up next to Lorraine, and stretched out her hands to massage Lorraine's head.
"If you can't drink, then don't drink so much." Catherine complained distressedly as she looked at Lorraine's dazed look.
Lorraine hummed comfortably and said: "These old guys are so hateful. They are drinking, they are simply robbing."
Catherine chuckled and said softly: "Don't care about this when you are happy."
At this time, there was a sound of "Oops", a figure jumped into the bathroom, and the hot water splashed all over Lorraine and Catherine.
Adele stretched out her arms, lay in the water, and hummed "Hmm" comfortably.
Catherine threw the towel over her body, shaved her face, and said: "Like a little pig."
Adele let out a long sigh, closed her eyes and said, "Nicole, you don't know, when I'm on the Semitic side, the first thing I think about is you, and the second thing I think about is our bathroom.
I haven’t felt this comfortable for a long time.”
There was a soft and smooth body pressed against Lorraine's body. Lorena twisted her body to become more comfortable on Lorraine's body. Suddenly, she struck like lightning and twisted Lorraine's thigh hard.
Lorraine was caught off guard and cried out. She rubbed the painful area and said, "Lolina, what are you doing?"
Luo Linna snorted, gave Lorraine a roll of her eyes, and said: "You are really good at getting Adeline into your hands."
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said: "This, it's a long story..."
Catherine also pinched Lorraine's other thigh bitterly and said, "We have plenty of time, please tell me slowly."
"But..." Lorraine smiled maliciously, moved her hands dishonestly over Catherine and Lorena, and said with a smile: "I don't think the time is necessarily enough."
Catherine and Lorena's pretty faces soon turned red, and their eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which looked very watery and beautiful.
Catherine couldn't help but put her little hand on Lorraine, scratching his chest while murmuring: "I don't think it's necessarily enough... oh, dead man, be gentle..."
——————
The morning sun shone on her face, and Lorraine stretched out a lot.
I will just feel refreshed and energetic. I have never been more energetic than now. I feel as if I can jump directly to the clouds.
Catherine, Lorena and Adele were sleeping soundly wrapped in thin quilts, with their arms and legs exposed outside the quilt and draped across Lorraine's body.
Their skin glowed jade-colored in the morning light. All three girls had happy smiles on their faces.
Lorraine carefully lifted Catherine and Lorena's arms and slowly pulled them out from under their pink legs.
Luolina frowned and hummed in a daze: "Don't move around, I want to sleep."
As he spoke, he tightened the quilt, turned over and fell asleep again.
Catherine opened her sleepy eyes and glanced at Lorraine, muttering vaguely: "Don't forget to go to the meeting. I'm tired, don't let people bother me."
Then he closed his eyes again, muttered something unknown, and fell asleep quietly.
Lorraine put on her clothes and walked out quietly, telling the servants downstairs not to disturb Catherine and the others. After washing up, she walked into the restaurant.
There were actually several people sitting in the restaurant. Leo and Melina had their heads arched and were whispering.
Obachm and St. Paul were eating breakfast elegantly with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. From time to time, the two of them exchanged opinions on the quality of the food.
Oshed had a grimace on his face, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and had a cup of hot tea in front of him. It was obvious that the old man was hungover.
Lester's situation is not much better than Ohid's, and he is somewhat weak.
Only Vera, as usual, happily fought with her breakfast. There were already several empty plates in front of her that Vera had taken care of.
Lorraine greeted them and asked curiously: "Why do you guys get up so early?"
St. Paul took a sip of hot tea and said leisurely: "When you get old, you can't sleep."
"But why are you two so energetic?" Lorraine looked at the energetic Obachm and St. Paul and asked curiously. These two drank as much as Lester last night.
Obachm wiped his mouth and said with a proud smile: "It's just a matter of rejuvenation."
St. Paul looked at Lester and Ochid, smiled narrowly at them, and said: "This is the benefit of being a priest."
Lester and Oshed snorted at the same time, but the two old men didn't even have the energy to refute now.
"No wonder the priests always act sanctimoniously when they appear." Lorraine curled her lips and thought to herself, then kicked Leo under the table and said, "Come to the meeting with me later."
"What's going on?" Leo asked in confusion with his eyes wide open.
"Government meeting."
Leo curled his lips and said reluctantly: "Do I have to go? That would be boring."
Melina pushed Leo and persuaded him pleasantly: "Go ahead, that's your job."
Leo was like a little donkey fed a carrot, he said with a flattering smile: "Go, since you said so Meilin, I will definitely go."
Milena patted Leo on the shoulder and said, "Are you so good?"
Several old guys looked at the little smooth-haired donkey Leo in surprise, and St. Paul asked quietly: "Who taught this?"
"Oh, Adele and Catherine."
"sharp……"
Half an hour later.
Leo sat on a high chair and yawned boredly.
Lorraine glanced at him and suppressed her drowsiness. This government meeting was just like Leo said, boring, very boring~!
Because Governor Lorraine went home, today's morning meeting was an enlarged meeting of the Nai An Provincial Government.
Angus, the chief of political affairs, Larry, the chief of military affairs, tax collectors, etc., including the director of the patent office, Aval, were all present.
There were nearly a hundred people sitting in the conference room. The main officers could still sit at the conference table, but their deputies and department heads could only pull up chairs and sit at the back.
From the beginning of the meeting, we introduced various changes in Nai An Province during the year Lorraine was away.
To sum it up in one sentence, the situation is not good, but very good, very good, and the good cannot get any better~!
Angus was the first to make an impassioned speech, introducing in an exciting tone that during this year, the chicken farts in Nai'an were rising at a rate of 50%, just like drinking holy water.
The population has increased by a certain amount, taxes have increased by a certain amount, arable land has increased by a certain amount, per capita net income has increased by a certain amount, etc. Anyway, it is all good news.
General Larry introduced how many personnel the army had added, how much equipment it had updated, and how many achievements it had achieved. More importantly, he explained that after more than half a year of pursuit and interception, the cavalry regiment, which was a mixture of humans and orcs, had completely annihilated the prairie.
The remnant enemy is the leader of thieves and owl leaders. The meritorious personnel have been reported and please give instructions from the Governor.
Then each department introduces the completion status of their tasks and the various achievements they have achieved during the year.
Lorraine was quite excited when she heard it at first, but she didn't expect that in just one year, Catherine managed Nai'an so well.
However, if you hear too much good news, you will become numb.
Leo could doze off without restraint, but Lorraine couldn't show impatience, especially when he saw his subordinates were in high spirits.
He would ask everyone a few questions and then give some encouragement.
Finally, when Leo was almost falling asleep, a middle-aged official who was sitting far away slowly stood up.
The adults, who had just returned from the meeting and were in high spirits, suddenly fell silent. The big bosses looked at their noses and mouths, their mouths and their hearts, and they stared intently at the documents in their hands.
The man who stood up hesitated for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "I am ashamed of your trust, our Shipbuilding Bureau of the Ministry of Works has lost 820,000 gold coins so far."
"What~!" Leo suddenly woke up. He jumped onto the table without hesitation, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Tell me again."
