Chapter 35 Birthday
Early morning.
Karl stood in front of the full-length mirror, carefully taking care of his collar and sleeves.
Today he was wearing a wide-brimmed tall hat, a wool windbreaker, a black vest, trousers and leather boots.
The dress is somewhat similar to the Byzantine style remembered in the previous life, and also has some exquisite and gorgeous embroidery patterns.
Such a set costs one gold coin and three pounds.
For an ordinary family, just such a set of clothes may take a year to save.
It costs a lot of money and the results are not bad.
Karl has rough facial features and burn scars on his face, giving him the impression of being fierce and unapproachable.
After wearing this suit, his temperament becomes much more elegant, more like a successful person who is unsmiling.
Opening the door, Jenny had already prepared breakfast.
When conditions permit, Carl never treats himself badly. After getting money, he first asked Mary and her daughter to improve the quality of their meals.
This extra payment is no pressure for him, but it can keep him in a good mood every day.
The dining table is filled with oatmeal, milk, bread and jam, as well as some dried fruits, ham and cold cuts...
A hearty breakfast, befitting the status of a respectable nobleman.
"Good morning, Baron Karl."
Jenny put down the fruit plate in her hand and looked curiously:
"Are you going to a banquet?"
Dressed up like this, Not common.
“Yeah.”
Karl nodded:
“Today is Ewinnie’s birthday.”
“Oh!” Jenny remembered the beautiful girl who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and nodded after hearing this:
"Do you have time tonight?"
"What?" Karl stopped his knife and fork and looked up:
"What's the matter?"
"Yes." Jenny looked shy and took out two warm tickets from her body:
"Today is my first official performance on stage. , I hope you can come and bring a friend."
"Congratulations." Carl smiled and glanced at the ticket casually, saying with some surprise:
" Wim Opera? ”
This is not an ordinary opera house that holds small concerts. It can be ranked among the top three in Signo City, and many grand ceremonies are held there.
“Yes.” Jenny clasped her hands and blushed:
“This time the Barrow Singing Troupe was invited to sing at the Wim Opera House to prepare for the upcoming God’s birthday. Get ready."
"The leader said that if I perform well this time, I will officially join the singing group to sing hymns on God's birthday."
"That would be great. Yes." Karl nodded:
"I guessed that you would become famous one day, but I didn't expect to see you in the opera house so soon."
"I will definitely come then!"
Jenny's smile Yingying.
She has actually performed on stage before, but only in small places, and Karl was not specially invited.
Just for this surprise.
Watching Karl go out, Jenny waved her little fist fiercely, her face full of joy.
"This time, I will definitely impress you."

"Five pence."
It just rained last night.
Thanks to Signo City’s imperfect infrastructure, there are inevitably puddles on the ground.
After paying the fare, Karl carefully avoided several puddles and walked towards the hotel ahead.
Before approaching the hotel, the noise filled my eardrums.
"Hello, you hang out with a few random friends all day long, and when you have nothing to do, you ask prostitutes to play with you."
Kingsley roared loudly:
"Look at those clothes in the living room. It's all gooey stuff, I just I feel disgusting!”
“Are you qualified to talk about me?” A familiar voice sounded:
“Which of my friends has never had a relationship with you, you slut? **, you are a son of a bitch.”
"Who are you talking about?"
"Shut up!"
"Bang..."
"Crash..."
Roaring and swearing The sounds were mixed together, and from time to time a few shouts and cries of pain could be heard.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting."
Ewinnie, who was wearing a princess dress, had tears in her eyes and looked helplessly at the scene in front of her, crying and stepping forward to pull:
< br>"Today is my birthday, please stop fighting." "Ah!"
I don't know who suddenly exerted force and pushed her backwards, and she was about to fall. Banged against the wine cabinet.
"Be careful."
Carl appeared at the right time, stretched out his hand to stop Ewinnie, and looked at the field with surprise:
"What's going on?"
It was supposed to be It was a joyful day to celebrate birthdays, but now it was a full-on martial arts show, with a group of people fighting each other.
There was my uncle's family and other guests, and the place was so chaotic that even the hotel staff couldn't stop them.
Karl knew that these relatives had a bad relationship with each other, but he did not expect that they would suffer like this. They were merciless when they started to attack.
Even women tear apart like madmen.
"Ugh..." Iwinnie, who looked panicked and helpless, burst into tears after hearing this, and fell into Karl's arms:
"Cousin Carl, uh..."
“Forget it.”
Karl shook his head:
"Let them stop first."
"Sit down first and have a good rest."
Ask Ewinnie to sit down, Karl appeared in a flash In the field, a big hand grabs someone and throws him backwards.
He was strong and powerful, and everything he passed was thrown away. For a moment, the field was silent.
Everyone was panting, but Karl stood in the field with an unchanging expression, and even straightened his tie.
"So..."
Scanning the whole place, he spoke slowly:
"What's going on?"
"Divorce!"
One person suddenly yelled:
“We can’t live longer, get divorced today!”
Karl recognized him, Kingsley’s husband, his cousin-in-law, a good-looking man.
It was because of this that Kingsley insisted on marrying him despite the opposition of his family.
What a pity,
After the two got married, it was not as sweet as the story in the book, but all kinds of trivial matters.
Within two years, they each lived their own lives, and the relationship between husband and wife existed in name only.
Every time the two of them get together, there will be quarrels, and this time seems to be no exception.
“Just leave!”
Kingsley in sharp clothes roared:
"I shouldn't have married you in the first place!"
"We should have divorced a long time ago." The fat, small-eyed Gejir did not dissuade him, but snorted coldly:
" My daughter has been married to you for so many years, and she must be compensated."
“Compensation?” Josie, Kingsley’s husband, heard this and sneered:
“Your family is really weird, but don’t worry, I’m willing to do anything as long as we get a divorce, and I’ll do that yard in the East City. Not anymore.”
"That yard is not valuable to begin with." Kingsley said with disdain:
"Don't think I don't know, you still have a sum of money in the bank, and part of me is in it."
"Nonsense..."
"Then let's calculate it carefully."
Karl shook his head and ignored the quarrel between several people, but came to Ewinnie and gave her a gift.
"Happy birthday."
"Cousin."
Ewinnie sniffed, blushing from tears and nodded:
"Thank you."
Karl turned sideways and looked at Ewinnie's messy hair, and his eyes paused on the familiar hairpin.
"My sister gave me a birthday gift."
Seeing this, Ewinnie took off the hairpin and cried in her voice:
"I said I spent a lot of money to buy it. I like it very much."< br>
“Really?”
Karl thought thoughtfully:
"Just like it."
Looking back at Kingsley who looked like a crazy woman, he chuckled and shook his head subconsciously.
People,
are always complicated.
“Cousin.”
He raised his hand and signaled:
"I happen to be planning to buy a house recently. You might as well sell me your yard in Dongcheng."
"The price is easy to talk about."
