Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

When Edward's carriage arrived late at night, Tang Feiliu hadn't fallen asleep yet. The small manor in Nandeng Township was not big, but the house left by the previous owner was very beautiful. It was a very classic European-style rural manor. There is no owner to live and take care of it all year round. Obviously, all the income here is directly paid to the duke's mansion, and the daily maintenance of the manor cannot be maintained. Therefore, not only the whole house is covered with dust, but the shrubs are overgrown, and the flowers in the garden are also scattered. It looked a little bleak.

But it is still intact Tang Feiliu's screaming joy when he saw this manor house composed of red brick walls and Roman columns-this place is Tang Feiliu's in modern times, and he can only imagine it in books and pictures on the Internet As a freshman, Tang Feiliu of course thought about spending leisure time in the garden reading and basking in the sun, but the reality is that he can only plant plants on the balcony of that [-]-square-meter small house, and place a small Tables and chairs... At that time, his friends were already envious, and Tang Feiliu's fans on the Internet shouted that he was the most emotional person in life.

However, when Tang Feiliu was standing in the real big garden that belonged to him, when he was holding the fence of the idyllic European-style small garden with Roman pillars on top... Tang Feiliu wanted to say that the small house is indeed sentimental, but The large garden and the truly perfect pastoral scenery can definitely make people feel moved and happy from the bones.

So as a matter of course, after Tang Feiliu circled around, he took the two low-class maids specially given to him by Grandpa Dave and started cleaning together—fortunately, the skilled Grandpa Dave prepared several carriages for him, otherwise the place would have been clean. All the furniture and furnishings are still there, but other things are outdated and unusable. If it weren't for the new bedding and daily necessities brought in, Tang Feiliu might not be able to sleep well tonight.

The two low-class maids were also very excited. This is definitely a promotion for them. Although it seems that they have arrived at a squire's manor from Black Swan Castle, their status is completely different, but this squire is not an ordinary person. Dahong, who can speak from administrative affairs to some housekeeping affairs of the castle, not only looks like a holy son, but also has a gentle and warm heart, and treats his servants very kindly.

Not to mention this place, they are no longer low-class maids, although Tang Feiliu will recruit a real housekeeper - who must be able to read, manage accounts and do some administrative planning - this is not a position that a maid dares to covet However, they will definitely become high-ranking maids. From now on, they only need to serve their masters and teach the inferior maids recruited from the countryside and cities, and they will become what can be called ladies from then on.

This made the three of them full of energy. At night, Tang Feiliu's master room was clean and comfortable. Although the human room is not as big as the castle, the two maids happily chose a small single room as their own separate bedroom - everything they will do in the future also matches.

Having your own independent space is of great significance. Although you will find that it is not as convenient as the castle when you wash, and you need to boil water from the newly cleaned kitchen and take it to the bathroom, it obviously does not damage the good mood of the three of them.

And when Tang Feiliu put on his nightgown and slippers, accompanied by a maid, and under the light of candlesticks, he made his last round inspection of the hall—as if Grandet inspected his own treasure—Duke Edward’s carriage suddenly visited, Caught everyone off guard.

In fact, Edward seldom takes a carriage. Moreover, the manor is not far from Black Swan Castle. It takes more than two hours by carriage, but it can be reached in just over an hour by horseback. But he came to pick up little Lance. Thinking of Tang Feiliu's body , and riding a horse on the mountain road at night is indeed full of dangers, so he patiently chose a carriage with wind lamp lighting.

When the carriage arrived, Tang Feiliu heard it from afar, and he asked one of the maids suspiciously: "Ai Li, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, sir. It seems to be the sound of a carriage." Ai Li is a steady brown-haired girl who always keeps her hair in a well-groomed way. At this time, she listened carefully for a while and answered seriously.

"...Who would come to this place at such a late night?" Weier, who was a little younger next to her, said suspiciously. She was holding up her skirt and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Tang Feiliu, "It's okay, Grandpa Dave I told me that the security in Nandeng Township is good, and the country gentry is enthusiastic... Maybe it's a passing carriage, I'll go and have a look, you two stay here."

After finishing speaking, he took the candlestick from Ailiweier and walked out the door. Although Ariel and Weier seemed uneasy, Tang Feiliu first believed in his own judgment. Although the Lot Empire is not special at this time Prosperity, but there are no gangsters or bandits—this is completely different from the prosperous population of Asia at the same time, because the ideas are backward, the crowd is scarce, and it is difficult to live in places where crowds gather, and basically you can only feed wild animals in the mountains What's more, this is the core area of ​​the Duke's territory, and ordinary gangsters dare not run here-the second is that as a man, he can't let the girl face unknown dangers, so he went out, but saw the far away The four wind lanterns in the distance swayed, and the horseshoes stepped on, and they came straight to the gate of the manor.

Although Tang Feiliu was confident, he looked at this rash visitor standing at a distance holding a candlestick, and did not dare to step forward - he was the only man and two girls in the manor now, he But he didn't dare to act rashly—fortunately, Tang Feiliu relaxed soon, because the carriage door opened, and the duke with black hair and black eyes was sitting inside. He got out of the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and then looked at Tang Feiliu.

Tang Feiliu was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he staggered over while pulling on his slippers, and asked suspiciously, "...Your Excellency, Ye An...how did you suddenly..."

Edward watched him run dangerously all the way - obviously soft slippers made of silk are not suitable for running outdoors - watched his soft blond hair dance under the flames, and when he ran in front of him, he threw up his head in lake blue Looking at him with wide eyes and asking questions in astonishment, the muscles on Edward's body slowly relaxed, and he said softly, "Open the door and let my carriage in, little Lance."

It was only now that Tang Feiliu realized that he had still shut the Duke out of the manor. Fortunately, he was enjoying the fun of Grandet at the moment, and was hanging the keys of the entire manor around his neck.Tang Feiliu quickly fumbled for the cloth belt hanging around his neck, and then took out a large bunch of jingling keys from his collar.

The night wind was a bit cold, and the padded nightgowns were obviously not enough to keep out the cold. Tang Feiliu opened the door tremblingly, feeling warm as soon as he looked up, and saw that Edward had already taken off his outer coat and wrapped him up Getting up, looking at Tang Feiliu's stunned eyes, he said, "The night wind is very cold, you shouldn't go out in your nightgown."

"...I was going to sleep." Tang Feiliu muttered in a low voice, who is to blame for this, the sudden visit at night made him come out in his pajamas to open the door for him, and his favorite, in York The cotton-padded slippers that Cheng himself cut out from Lance's previous pajamas will definitely have to be washed tomorrow. God knows whether the soft cotton soles worn indoors have been worn out.

Edward obviously understood Tang Feiliu's unfinished meaning. He looked at Tang Feiliu's snow-white neck with his head lowered and muttering. Some of the fine golden hair on it even hung down to the collar of his black coat——Recently The busyness made Tang Feiliu's hair, which had just been trimmed, grow long again, and obviously the lengthened hair made Tang Feiliu feel warm in winter, so he never thought of trimming it, and now he was wrapped in an ill-fitting coat, which made him look younger. Younger, with the blond hair and blue eyes, it looks more and more holy that people can't help but want to profane.

"Ah!" Tang Feiliu exclaimed. He was complaining when suddenly his whole body rose from the ground, and the sudden feeling of suspension made him want to struggle in fright. In the hard arms.

Tang Feiliu was dumbfounded. When Edward didn't have the body odor that he hadn't bathed all the year round, so that he couldn't even think about it, the faint scent of soap and the strong hormonal smell entwined and enveloped Tang Feiliu's body. At that time, Tang Feiliu realized that he really couldn't walk anymore, his legs were a little weak.

He was covered in Edward's chest with his face flushed, and was carried quietly all the way back to the living room. Then Edward asked the two stunned maids: "Where is the bedroom?"

Ai Li pointed to the direction of the second floor, and Edward carried Tang Feiliu back to the bedroom and put him on the bed. Only now did he realize that under the candlelight of little Lance, the delicate and shiny face of milk had turned into a Not only that, his ears, the neck exposed from the clothes... the body covered by the nightgown also turned pink.

As soon as he imagined it, Edward couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple. He looked at Tang Feiliu and wanted to shrink back. Tang Feiliu felt that the atmosphere was too strange. He couldn't help shrinking his feet and sat in the middle of the bed. Sitting down, Edward looked at the snow-white petite feet curled up slightly, with a touch of pink on them...

"My lord!" Tang Feiliu cried out in surprise, because Edward actually held his feet!But the next moment, Tang Feiliu breathed a sigh of relief, because Edward pulled back the quilt, stuffed his feet into the quilt, and said softly, "It's cold at night, so it's warmer this way."

"...Thank you." Tang Feiliu didn't know why, and silently pulled the quilt to cover his whole body, only his head was exposed. He looked at the duke helplessly, and then remembered a serious question: "My lord duke, you are so late Come here, but is there anything important?"

"I..." Edward looked at Tang Feiliu under the candlelight, the bed collapsed, Edward sat down, looked at Tang Feiliu, and asked seriously, "I came to ask you, can I not choose this manor?"

"Ah?!" Tang Feiliu suddenly lost his thoughts. He threw away the quilt and leaned in front of the Duke, asking in astonishment, "Why?"

In fact, Tang Feiliu instantly thought of the boss who said he wanted a raise every time, but every time he was the donkey man. When his expression changed from shock to disappointment and then to accusation, Edward finally spoke in a hurry, and he stuffed Tang Feiliu all over. Wrapped up in the quilt, he hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, little Lance, I am not refusing to give you the manor, but I want you to build a manor with your own hands... no, a city... just under the Black Swan Castle , I want you to be my real administrator."

"What?!" Tang Feiliu's eyes widened. He looked at Edward in front of him and said in astonishment, "A city?!"

Tang Feiliu has the memory of Lance, so he knows how great an honor Edward's request is to him-in fact, he was still wondering before, in this era, every city is built on the basis of a castle, no, seriously , the development of the entire Western city initially started with castles and churches, with castles or churches as landmarks, and then residents began to appear around them, followed by shops, and finally slowly expanded to become a huge city... In fact, the same is true of York, It's just that the core of York is not a castle, but a church. The manor where the old Duke lived in his later years is also one of the landmarks.

What Tang Feiliu was puzzled about was that Black Swan Castle should logically be developed into a city. Even if it was due to the turmoil and lack of financial resources due to conquest, it should actually be able to start developing when it is in the hands of the old duke. Swan Castle has been standing alone on the cliff, and there are large tracts of unplanned villages and farmland below, without the slightest breath of the city.

Tang Feiliu was puzzled at first, but he only thought it was a nobleman's hobby. He never thought that Edward would have such a plan, and would give him even greater responsibilities!

Forming the city of Black Swan Castle and becoming a Duke's administrator - what kind of concept is this, it's like being suddenly hired as a minister during a war between princes!

Tang Feiliu's eyes widened, and after a moment of stupefaction, he suddenly took Edward's hand seriously, and said loudly, "My lord! I will definitely work hard!"

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a rare gentle smile.

Only then did Tang Feiliu realize that this serious duke actually had a nice smile, which contrasted with the sudden gentleness of an ascetic person... Oh no, Tang Feiliu found out that his heart was beating a little fast.He hurriedly talked about him from left to right, and asked softly: "That... my lord, is that why you came here?"

"Yes." Edward looked out the window and said softly, "Because this matter is too important, I hurried to discuss it with you... It's just that it's too late now, and we can't rush back overnight..."

"Then you...then you tonight..." Tang Feiliu asked desperately with his tongue tied, "then where do you live tonight?"

... In the entire manor, there is obviously only one place where it is not too rude to receive an adult... Tang Feiliu looked at Edward and looked around, and saw him nestled in the middle of the bed.

Tang Feiliu wrapped himself tightly in his little quilt, his heart beating like a drum—oh God, what should I do? !Is he going to take the initiative to give up the bed to Duke Edward?But he didn't want to sleep on the narrow sofa that hadn't been improved yet!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Duke Edward stood up and said, "There is a sofa outside the living room, I can make do with it there..."

Tang Feiliu was stunned for a moment, this is a duke!He could have driven Tang Feiliu away right now, but he chose to leave by himself.

"...I lived in a cave when I was fighting outside, so I'm not so fragile... Lance?" Edward was talking, ready to leave, but he didn't expect his clothes to be pulled.

The blond child looked up at him, his blue eyes were so gentle that his skin seemed to be on fire, and Edward heard him say softly, "Actually, this bed is very big...my lord."

Edward felt that his whole body was tense at that moment. Although the hand holding the hem of his clothes was so weak, he couldn't get rid of it with all his strength. His Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Little Lance, you……"

"I mean, they are all men, we can make do with it!" Tang Feiliu said seriously, "It's okay! Your Excellency!"

Edward let out a foul breath, closed his eyes, and said, "Okay, little Lance, you should go to sleep, okay?"

Tang Feiliu was a little baffled when he saw him go out... It was rare for him to be kind enough to break through the shyness of a gay guy, so he really wanted to invite him to make do with it!What a comfortable bed!You must know that he dislikes his straight male friend who occasionally stays at his house!He is a clean freak, what a determination he has made!

But maybe the nobles are like this, they would rather sleep outside than sleep with others. It is said that some nobles do not allow their spouses to enter their rooms after marriage... Tang Feiliu yawned, he was too sleepy, so he just Fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Tang Feiliu had a dream. He dreamed that he was hugged by some kind of warm and hard embrace. His original symptoms of not being able to sleep well because of the winter in York disappeared. He hugged him and slept soundly all night. The heat from the big stove was continuous, and it made him feel peaceful and at ease from the bottom of his heart.

After waking up the next day, Tang Feiliu found that he was in good spirits. He stretched his body, then opened the curtains, and saw that the whole garden downstairs was withered, but in the distance, a small piece of ginkgo was shining bright yellow, surrounding it. Living in a small pond... The layers and contrasts of colors, the interplay of decay and brilliance... All these were so beautiful that Tang Feiliu held his breath, and his heart was completely hit.

Oh my god, this place is ten thousand times more beautiful than he imagined!He hates this place!

"My lord!" When Edward came in to check on the little guy who always tucked in the quilt at night, he saw nostalgia on his face, his blue cat eyes were even tearful, and he said reluctantly, "This place is so beautiful... ..."

Edward was silent for a second, and then said: "You are right, this place is beautiful, maybe I can send someone to take care of it, and I can take you to stay with me when I have time."

Then he saw the blue cat's eyes shining, reflecting the lake in the distance, and Edward suddenly understood why nobles always love to live in a certain manor, because it is indeed much more beautiful than the monotonous and cold castle.
