Lady of the Lord From the East
Chapter 56:
Before the whole body's bones fell apart, Wei Wei finally saw the city gate of Prady's capital.
This is the largest and most prosperous capital of the entire Prady Empire. Along the way, although Wei Wei didn't have the opportunity to visit the cities she encountered, she could see that other cities were not as good as this one by comparing the city gates. of.
There are also a lot of nobles in the capital. Probably because of the Queen's birthday, there are a lot of caravans belonging to the nobles at the gate of the city, and it is not conspicuous that Sardinson's caravan is mixed in.
The nobles' motorcade obviously didn't need to go through too many inspections, and there was a dedicated passage to go, so it didn't take long for the motorcade to enter the city gate smoothly.
"It's so big here!"
Dolores lay beside the car window, opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside with a look of amazement.
Wei Wei also thinks that the city is very good, the roads are regular, the houses on the side of the road are all brick and stone structures, very typical of the ancient European style, and compared to other cities, it looks much cleaner.
But the cleanliness is based on other cities in this era. In Wei Wei's opinion, it is still not enough - she happened to see someone pouring dirty water into the side alley from the window on the second floor - the main road into the city should be specially cleaned However, the stench of garbage and dirt accumulated in the alleys is still unavoidably drifting along the wind.
If it's summer, I'm afraid the taste here will be more "amazing".
The Williams family originally had no real estate in the capital. After all, the last earl would hardly come to the capital, and there was no need to buy real estate here.
But after starting the perfume business, Felix anticipated that the royal capital would likely be added to his daily life, so he asked someone to help buy a real estate. , the market price is at least 50,000 gold coins, and it is also because of his friendship that Felix can buy it at the lowest price.
The convoy stopped in front of the gate, and before Wei Wei got off the carriage, she heard a loud and unfamiliar voice.
"Long time no see, Felix!"
"Long time no see, Ellen!"
Wei Wei got off the carriage with her skirt in hand, and saw Felix hugging happily with another man whose height, physique, and even looks were not inferior to his. Obviously, they had a very good relationship.
"Since you left the capital, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you for several years." The man known as Allen slapped Felix on the back hard: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, not only did the territory manage well, but also the business. The capital is here, let’s go, let’s find a place to have a good drink!”
After Allen finished speaking, he was about to pull the person away.
"Wait!" Felix grabbed him: "I just arrived in the capital, and the staff has not been settled. If you want to drink, wait until I'm done."
Allen was also a little carried away after not seeing his friend for a long time. Now, after listening to him, he remembered that he is not alone now, but the Earl who has to bring a large number of his subordinates in and out.
Allen let go of him and laughed: "Oh, I was negligent, then wait until you're done. Do you have anything to help?"
Felix: "Someone else will handle that. Come on, let me introduce you to my fiancee and sister."
"Fiancee? Are you engaged?" Allen was stunned by the news.
No way, as a good friend, Allen knew how incomprehensible this guy Felix was. The women who had secretly flirted with him in the past had everything from common people to noble daughters, but this guy has always been indifferent and completely unenlightened. Makes you wonder if there is something wrong with him.
As a result, he only returned to Sardinson County for half a year and told him that he was engaged? This change is too fast.
If it wasn't for knowing that Felix's parents had passed away, and that the Williams family had no other elders who could intervene in his marriage, Allen would have wondered if Felix was forced to get engaged.
"Yeah, not long ago, I was going to send you a wedding invitation, but suddenly, His Majesty invited him to the capital, and I don't know if I can rush back to hold the wedding smoothly."
As Felix said, he passed Alan's hand to Wei Wei.
"This is my fiancee, Vivi, this is my sister Dolores, Vivi, this is the third son of my friend, the Duke of Devonhill, Baron Alan Devonhill, also a An excellent knight."
Wei Wei put her hand in his palm, and said to Alan a perfect lady etiquette: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Devonhill."
Dolores, who got down from the carriage on the other side, also hurriedly saluted.
After seeing Wei Wei's appearance clearly, Alan was surprised for a second, before returning the salute: "Hello, beautiful lady, just call me Alan like Felix."
Wei Wei smiled: "Okay, you can also call me Weiwei."
After introducing each other, Wei Wei took Dolores to see the house first. Felix wanted to follow, but was caught by Allen and fell behind.
"Phil, what's the matter with that lady?" Ellen called Felix's nickname and asked gossiply: "She doesn't look like a Prady guy."
"Wei Wei is from the Eastern Continent."
Allen's face changed: "Eastern Continent? Mongolia?"
To say that the memory of the East in this era, in addition to silk, the most profound one is the Great Mongolia.
It was a nightmare for the whole of Europe.
Although the European side does not know the exact situation of the Eastern Continent, they still have some insight into the power of the Great Mongolia.
After all, more than 20 years ago, the iron cavalry of the Great Mongolian country went on two expeditions to Europe and almost penetrated the whole of Europe. At that time, the whole European people would tremble when they heard Mongolian. When the class teacher returns to the DPRK, the whole of Europe is afraid that the owner will change.
Felix and Allen were not born during the Mongolian expedition, but it did not prevent them from hearing about this history. Although time has passed for a long time, Europe has never been less afraid of Mongolia.
I didn't see that because of this, the Crusades were forced to stop. With such a powerful empire entrenched in the east, who would dare to pluck the tiger's whiskers?
"No, it's the Song Empire, which is farther than Mongolia, that is, the Silk Country." Felix habitually used the Empire to call that distant country.
Although never seen, the Song Dynasty was also famous in Europe for silk and other luxury goods from the East.
So as soon as Felix said it, Allen understood: "That country."
After thinking about it, he told Felix the news that he only knew soon.
"The news came from the east only recently. Mongolia and the Song Dynasty went to war about three years ago."
"I know." Felix nodded. "Vivi told me that her family left the Eastern Continent to avoid the war."
It is not uncommon for people to leave their country because of war.
"Then she must not know, her country has won." Allen said with a dignified expression: "This is what I want to tell you, I heard that this time the Song Dynasty won a great victory, and Mongolia was only beaten. You can turn around and head west."
Because of the previous two western expeditions, European countries were very concerned about the affairs of the Great Mongolia. For this reason, they sent spies from thousands of miles to inquire about the news, fearing that he would have another third expedition.
Therefore, as soon as the Mongolia and Song Dynasty fought and lost the battle, the news came back immediately.
But because the distance between the two sides is too far, when the news comes back, the war will be over for more than half a year.
When Felix heard it, he had to pay attention: "Is this news accurate?"
The Prady Empire was almost beaten by the Great Mongolia. If the Mongolian army came to Europe again, who knows if it would hit them this time.
"Absolutely accurate." Allen knew what his friend was thinking by looking at his friend's face, and comforted: "Don't worry so much, although Mongolia turned around and came west, it is good, but it is said that Mongolia was beaten badly this time. The generals discussed However, they all think that the westward expedition is impossible, and according to the news sent back, Da Song may not easily let Mongolia go, who knows whether Mongolia's land can still be preserved."
Compared with the Great Mongolia, who has always been feared by the West, Allen is more curious and in awe of the Great Song, who has always existed only in legends.
The power of the Great Mongolia is obvious to all. It is unimaginable that such a powerful country will be defeated.
If the Great Mongolia was overthrown after its own weakness, no one would be surprised, but Alan, who has already entered the army and made great achievements, knows a lot about things in the East, but knows that the current Great Mongolia is no better than the first in terms of strength. There was a time difference in the second westward expedition, and even in the past twenty years, the territory of the Great Mongolia had expanded to the point where it almost occupied an entire continent, and the Song Dynasty seemed to have been suppressed and beaten by Mongolia not long ago. Destroy the country.
But all of a sudden, it will be about ten years, then a country that may disappear at any time will turn over as serfs and sing and beat Mongolia, and have to return all the land that was swallowed up before, and there is a tendency to return more and more. .
If Allen knew Chinese, he would definitely sigh that Feng Shui took turns.
But this also proves that Song Dynasty is definitely a more powerful country than Mongolia.
Also because this news is really shocking, the countries that received the news were afraid that Mongolia would give up the eastern land and turn around and take root in the western continent. .
Either way, it doesn't look bad.
Therefore, the forces and churches of various countries who received the news did not dare to disclose the news, so as not to cause even greater panic.
Fortunately, at present, it will take a lot of time for Song Dynasty and Mongolia to completely separate the winner and loser. According to the analysis, at least in the past ten years, they do not have to worry that either of the two countries will come to the West.
But Felix's face didn't get much better, instead it became more gloomy, the bright smile of the past was gone, and the blue pupils were dark like a sky shrouded in dark clouds, and there might be thunderstorms and rainstorms at any time.
Allen was frightened by his expression. The last time I saw him was when Felix received the news that his brother and father had passed away.
"Are you OK?"
Felix came back to his senses. Seeing Alan's worried look, he knew that his expression was probably a little scary. He pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "It's okay."
Unlike Felix, Ellen, who has always been a playboy, thought about it and guessed what he was thinking.
"You're worried about your fiancee..." Will you want to go back after hearing the news?
"How long are you going to talk here? Can't you go in and talk?"
Before Felix could speak, a voice suddenly interjected.
The two looked up and saw Wei Wei standing not far away, her expression as soft as ever, but she couldn't hide the joy that came from the heart.
She must have heard it!
Even if they didn't say it explicitly, they realized it right away.
Felix's hands hanging down at his sides clenched into fists so hard that his bones rattled.
But the owner of the hands still tried his best to calmly tell his fiancee: "Well, we'll go in right away."
Alan realized that he probably shouldn't have said this here, he shut his mouth obediently, and followed Felix's pace.
Because of hearing the good news, Wei Wei was in a very good mood. She was busy instructing everyone to carry luggage and clean up the house, just like a hostess.
But in fact she is indeed the hostess here, and she can do whatever she wants.
Her commanding ability is not bad, and she is used to seeing Butler Patton taking care of things in the castle, so after figuring out the structure of the house, she quickly arranged all the rooms.
This is not Sardinson Castle. Although the house is very large, there is no way for fifty people to live in one room, so the ten knights in the convoy are qualified to live in the guest room with the master, and the rest The knight attendants can only live in the servant's room and two or three people live in one room. The conditions are not very good, but it is not unacceptable for these knight attendants who are born the highest, that is, the descendants of the knight's family. To reward everyone for their hard work, Wei Wei not only planned to give everyone a three-day vacation in turn, but also gave bonuses based on their status.
These were discussed with Felix early in the morning, but because she suddenly heard good news about her homeland (although it is not actually the same one) today, she was happy and the bonus she handed out doubled.
She has money anyway! She is happy!
First, I received the bonus from the maid, and then I heard that I could take two days off. Everyone was very happy, as if all the hard work had paid off.
The maid in particular also told them that a sumptuous dinner would be specially prepared for them after the shift was over.
Anyone who lives in Fort Sardinson has never tasted the good craftsmanship of the chefs taught by Wei Wei. Even slaves can get a delicious pancake on a grand festival, not to mention The knights who are qualified to eat at the same table with the Count, when this group of people knew that Wei Wei would cook by herself at that time, they had already begun to imagine what delicious food they could eat at that time.
After settling everyone, Wei Wei went back to the room to pack her luggage.
The price of this house is expensive, but the people who buy it are also refreshing. The large pieces of furniture in the house are all left. Although they are a little old, they have been cleaned and maintained well, so the furniture looks more like antiques and has a sense of age.
The change of identity and the vacancy of the house, this time Wei Wei really lived in the hostess's bedroom, and the most satisfying thing about this room is that it comes with a bathroom, and there is a bathtub in the bathroom. This is what makes Wei Wei less repulsive to the wooden bucket for relief placed in the corner in the bathroom.
After visiting the room, Wei Wei sat down and told Penny who was busy: "Go to the kitchen to help and see the level of the chefs here."
This house has its own housekeeper and servants, but it is not the original owner, but a new person that Allen helped Felix find. He is the son of the Duke, and it is very easy to find a few suitable servants.
However, given the current conspicuousness of Sardinson County, it remains to be seen whether these servants can be used.
But she made Penny stare at the kitchen just because she was worried about eating dark food.
Penny is very talented in cooking. Although she can't cook big meals, ordinary meals can already satisfy her, so Wei Wei asked her to go to the kitchen.
Penny put down her work: "Do you need me to call the other maids over to sort it out?"
"No, Qin and I can handle it."
She probably has the most things among everyone, because not only the gifts for the queen are here, but also for the various banquets that may be in the future, she also prepared a lot of clothing and jewelry, and brought her own cosmetics. , plus the things that the maids thought it was necessary to bring, the luggage that was finally packed took up two whole carriages before they were put down.
As soon as Penny left, Wei Wei also got up and packed up with Qin, saying to Qin, "I originally wanted to give you two a two-day vacation, but I'm afraid I'll be very busy recently. Can I make up for it after the vacation?"
Qin hurriedly said: "Please don't worry about it. It doesn't matter if you don't have a holiday. In fact, you have been sitting in the carriage all the way and don't have to do anything. It's already a good rest."
"How can it be considered a rest?" Wei Wei shook her head. The maids were not idle along the way. When they were riding in the carriage, they had to knit sweaters.
She made a decision: "When the banquet for the knights is prepared, I will give you a vacation in turn, and when the vacation is over, I will go to the queen's birthday banquet."
They were running all the way. Fortunately, they did not encounter bad weather such as heavy snow on the road, so the speed was faster than expected. After arriving at the capital, they could repair for a few more days, otherwise Wei Wei would not be able to arrange vacations for everyone at this time. .
Of course, Qin also wanted to take a vacation. Seeing Wei Wei's determination, she readily agreed.
"Vivi."
Wei Wei looked up and saw Felix's figure appearing at the door that was not closed.
He didn't look very happy.
She put down the clothes in her hand, got up and walked over: "What's the matter? Aren't you chatting with Ellen, what about others?"
"He left beforehand."
Alan, who found that he seemed to be in trouble, dared to stay longer. He didn't even care about the original appointment to go drinking together. After chatting with Felix for a while, he made an excuse to go back.
If he doesn't leave again, he is afraid that Felix, who looks like the bottom of a pot, will invite him to learn martial arts.
They were handed over by the same knight commander teacher, and each knew how powerful the other was. Aaron didn't think he could beat Felix in anger.
After Allen left, Felix thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but run to Wei Wei.
"I want to talk to you."
Wei Wei didn't know what he wanted to talk about, but she nodded and went out with him.
Since the house was so busy that it was not quiet anywhere, they had to put on their cloaks and go into the garden.
The temperature in the capital is much colder than in Sardinson. In November, it had already snowed several times. Although it was not big, when I went out at this time, the cold wind was howling, the vegetation in the garden withered, and the ground was covered in silver. A shallow layer of snow has also accumulated.
Wei Wei, who was busy packing up and had not changed her clothes, was wearing a thick woolen long skirt that didn't cover her instep. She was also wearing a warm cashmere jacket, cashmere trousers and wool socks, a rabbit fur cloak and plush earmuffs on her ears. , I also have leather gloves on my hands, and I am very well prepared. I don't feel cold at all. I am eagerly stepping on the snow that is not thick on the ground, thinking that I can pull Dolores to build a snowman when the snow is bigger.
Growing up in the South, she rarely had the chance to see snow.
She jumped like a plaid on the snow in the garden. After a while, she realized that Felix hadn't followed. She turned her head and looked back, and saw Felix standing behind and staring at her. But don't know what to think.
Wei Wei only found out that he didn't look very happy today, so she walked back, held his hand affectionately and naturally, and walked forward together: "Don't you have something to tell me? What do you want to say?"
Felix then said, "Have you heard what Allen said just now?"
"About Mongolia and the Song Dynasty?" Wei Wei nodded: "His voice is not small, and my ears are also very good."
Although she didn't hear it all, she still heard the news that Da Song had won Mongolia.
But this is nothing special. The system has told her before that the current emperor of Song Dynasty is her senior. He is not only a military enthusiast but also has a lot of golden fingers. It wasn't that there was an accident in time travel. Wei Wei should have crossed over there after the other party ruled China and let the Chinese people live and work in peace and contentment. At that time, the emperor's predecessor's deadline was approaching, and the system would take him back to the underworld to report by the way. Wei Wei doesn't have to worry. will be discovered.
"Then do you want to go back?"
It took almost all his perseverance to ask this question.
This question made him extremely uneasy since Allen talked about Song's victory over Mongolia.
He didn't forget how Wei Wei came to the Western Continent, because she came to avoid the war, so if the war disappeared, would she go back?
There is her motherland, and there are compatriots and relatives she is familiar with. She once said that her family has been separated for several waves of refuge, so if Wei Wei goes back, maybe she can find her relatives.
So, will she let go of everyone here, including him, and return to the country where she is more familiar and powerful?
Wei Wei didn't expect that he would suddenly mention this, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened because he knew the news that Da Song had won, which made Felix's heart sink even more.
He was uneasy, always feeling that Wei Wei would tell him the next moment that their engagement was terminated and she was going back.
Is he willing to let her go? Inevitably impossible!
If she really wants to go back...
Then at all costs, he will keep him...
When Felix was developing in a not-so-good direction, Wei Wei showed a melancholy and nostalgic smile.
He looked at her, shook his head, and replied softly, "No."
Because there is no way to go back, the motherland that can only be remembered in dreams.
The author has something to say:
There is a foreshadowing in this chapter, I don’t know if everyone can see it.
In this article, European countries are all empty, and the original country names are not used as much as possible. The location of the Prady Empire is in several countries between Italy and Turkey. According to history, this location should have been beaten by Mongolia.
Baidu information: During the second expedition of the Great Mongolia, Batu personally led the main Mongolian army into Hungary from the middle and won a great victory.
Qipchaqulisi (1219--1502), also known as the Golden Horde, Kepchak Khanate, and Zhuchiwulusi, is one of the four major Khanates of the Great Mongolia. A feudal state established by the Mongols in the first half of the 13th century. Founded in 1243 by the second son Batu, the eldest son of Genghis Khan, after the end of the Western Expedition The vast Kipchak Khanate near the Arctic Circle.
Although they hate Yuan Dynasty, they are really good at fighting.
