/ I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Stupid child
Celebrate the lively Reims district.
Street shops are decorated with lights and festoons, and everyone, young and old, is laughing and laughing.
Among them were young men and women who were singing and dancing on the street, and someone was carrying a brand-new lute, pulling the wonderful movement.
Even the Baiya people who are used to seriousness are particularly relaxed on this special day.
On this beautiful day, two strangers who have never met before can also have a good chat because of the celebration before the ceremony.
All beer houses and taverns in Göttinghagen have a 50% discount on all drinks,
And tomorrow, all drinks in the city will be free.
Only on this day, all the low-level people in this city have the same right to get drunk as the upper-class people.
Walking around in a private carriage, Tu Fu, dressed in costumes, saw the festive scene from the window. His human instinct made him want to blend in, but he didn't.
"My God, sir, is this your home in front?"
The coachman was surprised by the scene at the destination.
Right at the door, a group of court maids and servants lined up at the door of No. 45 Baker Street, and a car of gifts escorted by guards was continuously delivered from the car.
At the door of the house, a plump and beautiful woman hugged her face in surprise.
Neighbors across the street also surrounded this ordinary family with the surname "Winster" engraved on it, looking at the royal palace's rewards to the common people with envious and amazed eyes.
Let's call it a reward.
Their fanfare was unaware that they thought it was the wedding ceremony of the family's children, and everyone in the street knew about it.
In the private carriage, the passenger who had been in a bad mood threw a 1-krone banknote at the driver, and got off the carriage without even asking him for change.
"Who asked you to come."
Tu Fu frowned instinctively, and first questioned the leader of the guard who gave the gift. The other party saluted him respectfully,
"Dear Mr. Tuf Capet, His Majesty the King ordered us to come here on purpose.
In order to thank you for your dedication to the country, these are some gifts prepared for you and your family by the general manager, please be sure to accept them. "
Looking at it from the corner of the eye, they are really amazing gifts.
It was even more generous than the last time Crandon's door was delivered, probably tens of thousands in kroner, as if they were deliberately overpowering the Saurons family.
"A gift?"
Tu Fu snorted softly, very dissatisfied with the palace's actions.
William II's action is equivalent to warning him in such a way that it is best not to miss the appointment tomorrow.
Otherwise, what was sent today was a gift, maybe what will be sent later will be something else.
"Oh, look, the people in the big family are different. Even Ms. Anfeier, you go out to make money yourself, which is really amazing."
"Don't forget Mr. Winster, he is really a very good police officer and can always help us solve problems. I heard that he was known for his hard work in the police department when he was in Leeds."
"It's really Mr. Capet. I've known him since he came to Baker Street. He is a great person. It's probably my greatest blessing to live on the same street as you."
"Look, they don't even have a maid in their family. Compared with the life of those hateful rich people, this is the most simple and cultivated big family I have ever seen."
“Even the air in the street got fresher when they moved here from their house.”
Among all the nasty compliments, Mrs. Anfeier and Uncle Ethan had embarrassed smiles on their faces. As hosts, they still treated every neighbor who came to their house politely.
Even Miss Winster pouted reluctantly, cutting fruit and making tea to entertain the guests.
To this day, the Winsters still haven't hired maids and cooks, which is not at all as decent as a middle-class family should be. However, this thing that was ridiculed by the neighbors before turned out to be a good virtue.
Before this, even though Aunt Anfeier strongly invited, no one was willing to take the initiative to come to Winster's house as a guest.
Except for Spencer, they didn't know that the celebrity who often appeared in the newspaper was the Tu Fu of the Winster family.
When he entered the room with a stern face, Mr. Spencer, the "big man" on the street greeted him with a smile and shouted:
"Look who this is."
Among the exclamations and praises, some people have already started to introduce his relatives and friends who are over three years old and under sixty years old to him one by one, their personalities, appearance, height and cup size, which made Tu Fu tireless.
He glanced at the first person who came up to say hello, "I remember you, Mr. Spencer. Among the neighbors, you impressed me the most."
“This is probably the greatest honor of my life.”
"If you talk about the unique skill of changing faces in the theater industry, I really can't find anyone more talented than you among the current performers." Tu Fu praised this guy's unique skill.
When he first arrived in Göttinghagen, the family was often ridiculed by him for the issue of settlement.
"Sophie, you should really learn from this gentleman, because he is really amazing, and he is definitely your biggest competitor for the Golden Mask Award. Be careful."
Seeing Tu Fu's deliberate eyes and deliberate smile, the latter glanced at his mouth again.
Sophie put down the fruit knife in her hand, and took the initiative to bring a plate of fruit to the dining table. She had long been accustomed to Tu Fu's poor talk.
Winster Sophie did not fight back, but stood beside Tu Fu silently,
Watching him keep saying hello to the guests.
Not long after entering the house, Tu Fu comforted the Winsters and reassured them, but it was just some palace rewards.
He knew very well that if even he panicked when he saw such a big scene, how could his uncle and aunt not panic.
He had to do his best to deal with such a situation.
After calling the court staff away, Tu Fu, as the host, greeted each neighborhood neighbor one by one, and usually chatted with those who had contacts.
I haven't met each other very much, and those who want to take the initiative to make friends, just go back casually.
After a few words, Tu Fu made this large-scale neighborhood visit look very normal.
It wasn't until the scene was done enough to allow the Winsters to fully integrate, that Tu Fu stepped back with a sigh of relief, and tasted the fruit that Sophie had just cut.
A voice sounded in his ear.
"Just now your joke was actually wrong. This year's Golden Mask Award's biggest opponent should be you."
Miss Winster's cheeks were bulging, perhaps to avoid embarrassment, Sophie kept drawing circles on the ground with her feet when she lowered her head.
"Why do you say that."
Tu Fu easily shrugged his shoulders.
The understanding Sophie whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "Since you are unhappy, don't pretend to be smiling."
"Well, you probably have a minor in psychology, and I must admit you're right."
The smile on Tu Fu's face disappeared immediately,
The moment he quieted down, the whole room was half quiet at once.
"What's wrong."
Uncle Ethan, who also noticed the change in the aura here, actively blinked at Tu Fu,
"Little husband, you look very tired, if I were you, I would definitely go back to the house and sleep.
As for this place, don't worry, your aunt and I are here,
We are always here. "
"Crunch!"
"Sophie, I've said many times that you have to knock on the door when you enter a boy's room. It's etiquette."
"Unfortunately, I have never seen those embarrassing things." Miss Winston tilted her head against the door panel, blinked her eyes twice, but looked very expectant.
"Ahem..."
To cover up his embarrassment, Tu Fu, who was lying on the bed, coughed twice.
He has already begun to greet the University of Göttinghagen crazily in his heart. Is the atmosphere there so open?
Why didn't I say it earlier, I knew that I had chosen Columbia University when I filled out the application form.
"So what are you doing here?"
"Come to care about you, and make sure by the way, you will attend my coming-of-age ceremony, right?"
"Of course, I remember it was a few days after the grand ceremony." Tu Fu said with certainty.
"I'm also very sad." Sophie's expression became depressed, "Now everyone only remembers the king's grand ceremony, but not my birthday and coming-of-age ceremony after that."
"But fortunately, there are always people who will care." Tu Fu answered casually.
The weight and meaning of his words caused the corners of Sophie's mouth to curl up. Neither of them spoke, and they digested everything in a silent and tacit understanding.
After a long silence, Tu Fu took the initiative to break the wall,
"Sophie, would you like to hear a story?"
"If this is not included in the third wish, why not."
"Well, many, many years ago, there was a king who was obsessed with new clothes, either in the dressing room or on the way to the dressing room.
Until one day someone claims to make the most beautiful clothes in the world, but only a smart person can see that.
The beauty-loving king thought to himself, if he could wear such beautiful clothes, he would be able to recognize who is smart and stupid in the country, and see who is competent and who is not,
So pay the scammer a lot of money.
It took a long time, and finally waited until the day when the new clothes came out. The beautiful king looked at the empty loom and listened to the liar introduce the beautiful clothes to himself.
In order not to look stupid, he took off his clothes and put on the beautiful dress that didn't exist.
Then immediately went to hold a parade, people from all over the country came, and guess what people said when they saw the king naked scene? "
"I guess they would rather lie about how beautiful the king's clothes are, how fascinating they are, so as not to be found stupid."
"Sophie, you are so smart, even the Goddess of Wisdom admires your wisdom.
Yes, exactly,
People spread word of mouth that it was a unique and beautiful dress.
And at this moment, a child stood up and said in a discordant voice, 'but he is obviously not wearing anything'.
People finally reacted at this time, yes, the king didn't wear anything.
After the first one, there was the second soon, and then the third. Everyone shouted. The king was obviously not wearing anything, but he still insisted on finishing the parade.
This is the end of the story, it is really a ridiculous story. "
"Actually, I think this is a very good story. I really hope that the poems you write to me can also have this quality."
"Sophie, don't you think it's funny, that king is really stupid, there is not even a single person around him who intends to tell the truth, and those ministers and people are also extremely stupid.
But in my opinion, that kid is the most stupid of these people, obviously as long as he doesn't say anything, he can get away with it.
Why do you still have to be smart and expose that sad truth. "
"In my opinion, I don't think that kid is stupid at all. He is the smartest kid in this story. He can tell lies like everyone else. I don't know how much courage it takes to tell the truth in public.
This is obviously amazing, I like this kid.
Because he doesn't do this now, there will only be more and more absurd things like this in the future..."
"Very unique insight."
"Tu Fu, so is the story over? What happened to the kid?"
"I don't know... Sophie, really don't know..."
