Chapter 48 - Rare leisure
Nord walked into the stone building slowly and looked up the steps to carefully examine the interior decoration of the stone building. Compared with the empty environment before, it now has a more family atmosphere, although the furniture in the hall is not so well made. Gorgeous, but it is simple and simple, and the wood is not ordinary wood, but the rare black phoebe in the Amon Mountains. The texture of this kind of tree is relatively delicate, and it is the first choice for making furniture.
However, this kind of black phoebe has strict environmental requirements, and it often only grows on the top of high mountains. It is not only difficult to find, but also extremely difficult to transport. After all, black phoebe is two or three times heavier than other woods. Nord looked around, Not only the furniture, but even the handrails of the stairs are made of black phoebe wood. This may be simple luxury. I don’t know where Abel got so much precious wood.
While Nord was visiting the new manor, Abel heard the movement downstairs and walked out of the room on the second floor. He nodded slightly and looked downstairs. He found that it was Nord who was back, with a cordial expression on his face. With a smile, he walked quickly towards Nord.
“Master Nord, you are back. I wonder if you are satisfied with the layout of this manor?”
Nord nodded to Abel. He was very satisfied with the job of Nord butler. Not only was it completed ahead of schedule, but from the perspective of the furniture materials, he was also very attentive to the quality of the manor. Nord pointed to the black phoebe in the living room. Asked Abel about his desk and chair.
“I’m very satisfied. You have worked hard. By the way, where did you get so many black nanmu? As far as I know, black nanmu furniture is at least worth a set of gold coins in Belon City.”
Abel smiled slightly, and while talking, he led Nord to the study on the second floor.
“Master Nord, this is not my credit. This is a carpenter from Tammy Village named Dulu. Hearing that I wanted to make great furniture, he took out all the black nanmu that he had collected for many years, and also provided it. There are many places where black nanmu grows in mountain forests, otherwise I don’t have so much black nanmu to use.”
Nord came to the study and put Cindy down in his arms. Cindy, who was already curious about the new location, couldn’t bear his curiosity and began to sit in the study as soon as Nord put it down. Jump down and jump.
“Butler Abel, it’s called Cindy, and he will live with us in the future. You must take good care of him.”
Abel also liked the lively little cat Cindy very much, and his eyes followed the little cat’s figure.
“Okay, Master Nord, I will take good care of Cindy.”
Nord sat at the desk and watched the warm sunlight shine in from the window to the brand new desk, and it also shined into Nord’s heart.
For a long time, the restless Cindy seemed to be a little tired, jumped to Nord’s desk and lay down. Nord teased the little cat who finally stopped, thinking about it and commanding Abel who was standing aside.
“The carpenter named Dulu should reward him well, and I think this manor is also empty. Take the time to recruit some servants from the village to add some popularity to the manor.”
“Understood, Master Nord, do you have any more orders?”
“No, it’s rare to catch up with the free days. I will give myself a few days off and take a good rest. You can finish these things first.”
After finishing speaking, Nord waved to the steward Abel, indicating that he could retreat.
Nord, on the other hand, did not consider territorial matters, and lay down at the desk, like a child, and began to play with Cindy.
At this time, in Colin’s yard, Lehman was telling Mr. Colin about the various experiences he had spent in searching for the remote cottage in the forest with Mr. Nord for so many days, until he finally found the remote cottage.
After hearing this, Colin sighed. He didn’t know whether to be happy or to be disappointed. In fact, Colin had some small abacus of his own. He once wondered if Lord Nord could not find a copycat against himself, or against Lehman, right Tammy Village would be better, but since that time when he disagrees with Nord because of the planting of yam, Colin can clearly feel that Nord is much colder towards him, a little more alienated than before.
“Lehman, I think Lord Nord’s future is unlimited in the future. You must seize the opportunity to follow Lord Nord’s merits.”
Lehman didn’t understand why his father was so upset. It’s good news to find Yuan Shanzhai. This is something that Mr. Nord has been looking forward to. Why is his father a little disappointed? Lehman hesitated, as if he had guessed something, and asked uncertainly.
“Father, between you and Lord Nord…”
Colin smiled self-deprecatingly on Lehman’s question.
“It’s not that you believe you. There is no contradiction between me and Lord Nord, but my old head can no longer keep up with the ideas of your young people. Now Lord Nord has moved out, you must take hold of it. Opportunity, and your brother Reid, you also have to tell him not to make mistakes.”
“Father, you…”
“I’m okay, Lehman, I’ve been out for half a lifetime, Colin was already discouraged, and I was going back to my hometown to spend his remaining life. I didn’t expect the opportunity to come to me again, but I didn’t want to grasp it…”
At this point, Colin’s eyes waited for Lehman tightly, as if pinning his hopes on Lehman.
“But you are not the same as me. Both you and Reid are deeply trusted by Lord Nord. As long as you follow this Lord Nord closely, our family will flourish in the future. I just don’t know if I will have the opportunity. I saw it with my own eyes.”
Lehman didn’t understand, but he still understood what his father Colin expected of him, Lehman looked at Colin sincerely.
“Please rest assured, father, I will not disappoint Master Nord’s trust in me. If there is a chance in the future, our family will be named after Colin, and our glory will be shared with you. “
Looking at Lehman’s words from the heart, Colin felt very pleased. Perhaps his greatest achievement in this life was to cultivate such an excellent son as Lehman. The corners of Colin’s eyes were a little moist.
“Grandpa, why are you crying?”
A milky voice interrupted the conversation between Colin and his son. At no time, the Yate brothers and sisters ran to Lehman’s side.
“I don’t cry anymore, I am already a strong man.”
Yat heard his sister Lysa’s words, and put on an air, as if he was already a little adult.
Lysha made a face at Yate.
“Slightly, you were so scared by the big wild boar the day before yesterday that you were crying, I am not afraid.”
“I am not! I am not! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Lehman interrupted the quarrel between Yate’s brothers and sisters. His two sons and daughters were not very different in age. They would quarrel every time they said less than a few words, and it was true that Yate couldn’t talk about his younger sister, Lysa, and Yate had a good personality. Some were timid, which made Lehman a little headache, not knowing how to educate him.
“What are you doing here?”
Yat was taken aback, suddenly remembered what his mother had told him, and looked at his father Lehman cautiously.
“Mom said she told me and Lysa to call you and grandpa into the house for dinner, but I blame Lysa, I almost forgot.”
“Humph!”
Lysha snorted angrily after hearing it, pursed her small mouth, and ignored her brother Art.
Lehman gave Yate a look, then took Lysa’s little hand and walked towards the wooden house, leaving Colin and his grandson with big eyes and small eyes.
