My British Empire

  Chapter 429 Old friend

  ps: Ask for tickets, ask for recommendations

  Ireland is very close to England. After half a day, the ship arrived at the port of Bristol, an important town in the southwestern part of England.

  Hundreds of people, including family members, received a warm welcome from the Bristol City Government and arranged accommodation.

  The next day, the carriage was arranged again, which moved the heroes of the Irish colonization.

   "Your Excellency the Mayor is really a warm-hearted person!"

  The family sat in the front carriage, with some personal belongings beside them, and the rest were placed in the back carriage.

  The carriage at the back was looked after by the butler and three servants he brought from Ireland.

  Hearing his wife's exclamation, and then taking a look at his daughter who was getting more and more handsome and beautiful, Lemir smiled softly, "Don't think so noble of him, these arrangements are not specially arranged for us!"

   "You said it was arranged by the city government!" My wife couldn't help asking with surprise in her eyes.

   "No, the city government is impossible!" Looking at his wife who accompanied him to Ireland, worrying about him and his children all the time, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious, and he looked older and older.

  With a sigh in his heart, he showed a sincere smile, ignored his wife's shyness, and brushed a strand of long hair from her forehead behind her ears, and then explained:

   "The city government doesn't care, but the city council will never allow the city government to spend money to entertain us at will, even if we are heroes!"

   "What's that?" asked the wife puzzled.

   "The cabinet's arrangement!" Lemire looked into her green eyes and said, "Or His Majesty Edward's arrangement!"

   "Okay, I don't want to talk about politics anymore!" After hearing this, the wife was relieved, turned her gaze to her daughter, and sighed:

   "Su Na is already fourteen years old, it's time to find a husband!"

   As he spoke, his wife glared at Lemire and blamed:

  "General people get engaged at the age of seven or eight, and get married at the age of fourteen, but our Su Na is fourteen years old and hasn't gotten engaged yet. What will happen in the future?"

  Looking at his wife's angry expression, Lemiel quickly apologized. Lemiel has always respected her wife who has followed him since childhood.

   "In Ireland, in that deserted place, there were no young talents who were worthy of Su Na. I wouldn't want an Irishman to be my son-in-law! I would be ridiculed in the officialdom!"

  As soon as she heard the word Irish son-in-law, the wife shook her head quickly. She couldn't accept an Irish son-in-law either.

  Ireland at this time is like we look at Africa, full of contempt. Do you want your daughter to marry a black man?

   "You're right, honey!" said the wife softly, "I can't imagine Soona having an Irish husband, it's just awful!"

   "Yes, so I plan to wait until I return to London and accept His Majesty's reward, so that our Suna will have more choices, and even marry a nobleman!"

  Thinking of their daughter marrying a nobleman, the two couldn't help but smile with joy in their eyes.

  Su Na, who was at the side, watched her parents discussing her marriage, and couldn't help frowning.

  After staying in Ireland for so many years, she is proficient in horse riding and archery, and her heart has long been wild. She is very resistant to the marriage arranged by her parents.

  Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand, opened the curtain aside, twisted her brother's thigh with his head facing outwards, and only after hearing his loud roar, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Ah, ah—" the younger brother cried out in pain.

   "Huh—" She just felt that she felt much more comfortable in her heart.

   "What's the matter? Agel!" Lemier asked his wife quickly.

   "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that the road is so wide and beautiful!" The 12-year-old brother secretly glanced at his sister, recalling her previous evil deeds, and said a little aggrieved.

   "Really? Let me take a look!" Hearing nothing, Lemir became interested in the long-known national highway, and hurriedly squeezed his son away and stretched out his head to look.

  The 12-year-old Agel gave his sister a hard look, protesting against his innocent abuse.

   And Su Na glanced at her younger brother, rolled her eyes, raised her red lips, and looked provocative: Do you dare?

  Agel, who just wanted to muster up the courage to fight, was immediately discouraged. When he thought of the experience of being kicked off his horse by her, he couldn't help being afraid. His sister was terrible.

   Seeing her younger brother's resigned expression, Su Na glanced at him arrogantly, and went to her mother to whisper.

   Lemir, who looked up, had a shocked expression on his face.

   I saw that on the national road where the carriage was driving, walking on the right side, there was an endless stream of carriages passing by, and sidewalks were set up on both sides of the road, and men, women and children walked sparsely.

   This national road is extremely wide and can accommodate about six carriages moving in parallel.

   And it was extremely flat, the carriages in front drove one after another, leaving no potholes on the road, and the carriages drove extremely smoothly.

  Lemire thought to himself: Sure enough, it is true that the foundation of the national road is paved with floor tiles, no wonder it is so stable.

  Looking around, there are neat trees planted on both sides of the road. Under the sunlight, there are patches of shadows on the national road, which is convenient for pedestrians to rest.

  This move is indeed very good. It can not only take care of pedestrians, but also fix the foundation, Lemier thought.

   It seems that I have been away from England for so many years, and I have really changed a lot.

   Three days passed in a flash, and Lemire and his party arrived in London.

  Relying on the stable national road, this saves two days of travel compared to the past, which is indeed gratifying.

   "This is your home when you were young. Tonight, let's live in a wronged way!" Lemir came to his hometown and joked.

   A group of people came to the small house that was once located in London, because they asked their neighbors to take care of them. The house still looks relatively complete, although a bit dirty.

   "What? This is the place where I lived when I was a child, it's too dilapidated!" Agel looked at this shabby house, compared with the mansion in Ireland, even the toilet was not as good, and he couldn't help complaining.

   "Bang—" Su Na hit him on the head and scolded:

   "You were born here, why complain!"

  Su Na still has some vague memories of this place, and her heart is full of nostalgia.

   "Su Na, don't be so violent!" Her mother quickly reprimanded, and then said softly to her son, "Agel, your father is just joking, we are staying in a hotel today!"

   "Humph—" Su Na snorted coldly, and turned her head away.

   Just as the family was talking, there was a sudden sound of surprise from the side.

   "Are you Mr. Lemire?" A man in his forties, with wrinkled face and wine in his hand, asked in disbelief.

   "You are, Mr. Rodney!" Lemire turned his head and saw that this was his old acquaintance, and shouted loudly.

  At this moment, Lemiel felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

   It was the recommendation of this person that I gained my current status, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
