Chapter 213 I'm Back
ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscription
Facing the spectators of many neighbors, Su Weier did not show the slightest timidity. Instead, he puffed up his chest and raised his chin with a proud and arrogant expression.

Not to mention, these neighbors really like this. If you still look timid and cowardly, they may still be wondering if you are cheating or not.
Combined with fine clothes and a spacious carriage, the impression of sudden prosperity is immediately imprinted on people's minds.

This can be regarded as a feature of the Age of Discovery. People no longer pursue high morals and sentiments. Instead, they look at the vulgar businessmen differently, and even envy them.

People's pursuit of wealth has reached the point of extreme desire.

What's more, they no longer pay attention to how your wealth comes from, even if it is stealing, robbing, or even murder and arson, as long as you have money, they will treat you differently and worship you.

In this way, people's pursuit of wealth is further stimulated, which is why the priests who accompanied the army did not care when the colonists mercilessly massacred the aborigines.

Because it was the moral climate of the time.

"Su Weier, have you really become an official?" An aunt with a bucket figure and crowded facial features asked tentatively to the pompous Su Weier.

"Of course, I was not only received by His Majesty the King in London!" As he spoke, Su Weier's eyes drifted away, looking longing.

But the people around all took a breath, my God, His Majesty the King, who has always existed in legends, actually received Su Weier, isn't it true?

Regarding Su Weier's words, people couldn't help but doubt, waiting for his next words.

"I was also received by the Lord Mayor of London, and I became an official of the city government, managing all the ports in London!"

Faced with the questioning eyes of the neighbors, Su Weier couldn't wait to reveal his official position, and got the surprised voice of the neighbors.

Seeing Su Weier full of air, the neighbors had to remove the thin and studious Su Weier from their hearts, leaving this Su Weier who became a high official.

"Su Weier, you are amazing!" "I knew that Su Weier would be successful!" "God must have blessed you!"......

After Su Weier's words, these neighbors stared at him immediately, and continued to compliment Su Weier, throwing all kinds of good words without money, which made Su Weier feel refreshed!

At this time, the noise outside the door also spread to the inner room, and the blacksmiths Old Will and Little Will came out with doubts, and saw the well-dressed Suwell and the neighbors who were talking about it.

"Old Will, you are blessed!" After seeing Old Will come out, a strong man shouted in a thick, round voice.

This sentence immediately woke up Su Weier, who was enjoying himself, and the others slowly retreated knowingly. This is the time for their family.

But Old Will was taken aback by this sentence, he didn't understand what it meant.The same is true for Little Will on the side.

Seeing his father and elder brother in a daze, Su Weier hurried over and greeted them energetically.

"Father! Big brother!" Su Weier's clear and thick voice sounded in the ears of Old Will and his son.

"You, you are my Suweier?" Old Will really couldn't connect the gentleman in front of him with his thin and ordinary little son, his tone was full of disbelief.

"Yes, I'm Su Weier! I'm back!" Su Weier nodded heavily to his father and elder brother with joy.

"Okay, okay! My Suweier is back, what a pleasant day!" Old Will happily patted his youngest son on the shoulder, his tone full of excitement and surprise.

"Well, Suwell, the carriage—" Little Will looked at his handsome younger brother, pointed at the carriage in front of the door, and asked cautiously.

"This is mine, I bought it from London!" Su Weier glanced at the carriage and said casually.

And Su Weier's words brought Old Will's eyes to the carriage next to him, the simple and honest coachman, and the strong brown horse. After seeing these, Old Will fully believed that his son was really promising.

And Little Will was completely attracted by the big brown horse. For those who dreamed of being a knight since childhood, owning a horse of their own is the most basic requirement.

It's a pity that although the Smith family is richer than ordinary people, it is unbearable to spend dozens of pounds for a horse.

Looking at his brother's eager eyes, Su Weier said with a smile: "Will, you can go and see!"

Little Will immediately showed a simple and honest smile, and walked slowly towards the brown horse.

It was a merry night at Blacksmith Smith's, full of joy and laughter.

Su Weier also saw his mother, elder sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law, and several lovely nephews and nieces.

The family is also very happy to have a brother who is an official, and the atmosphere gets along very well.

In this way, on December 25th, Christmas Day, early in the morning, Su Weier and others came to a nearby church in a carriage.

To be honest, Suwell originally planned to go to Norwich Cathedral to pray, but I heard that there was a huge crowd of people there, and I am afraid that I would not be able to squeeze in. Let's follow the usual custom and go to a nearby church!

Arriving at this somewhat ordinary church, the family, accompanied by neighbors and acquaintances, prayed under the leadership of the priest.

The morning flew by, and in the afternoon, Suwell thought that he could gather in church, participate in a grand masquerade ball, and watch pantomime performances as in previous years.

Yes, that's right, after the Reformation in England at that time, all kinds of conservative customs almost disappeared.

Who knew that after lunch, there was no masquerade in the church, but a theater performance instead.

This made Su Weier a little surprised. He didn't expect that the popular theater performances in London could be seen in Norwich, which made him very curious.

To be honest, in London, this drama trend caused by His Majesty the King has become a popular show for men, women and children in London.

In order to keep up with the fashion, he also went there several times. In this era of lack of spiritual entertainment, watching dramas is indeed a kind of enjoyment.

Moreover, what surprised Su Weier was that those noble children whose family names appear in the drama are often more excited, and this is often their capital to boast in front of their companions.

In this regard, Su Weier watched "Henry VII" with his family with anticipation.

In one afternoon, the whole play was only performed for one third.

Although it can't be compared with the actors in London, it is already very good for Norwich.

Su Weier looked around and looked at the excited red-faced crowd, and couldn't help sighing.
