[Comprehensive Wear] You will get used to wearing it

Captain Gale took Maria to the study, and he took some money out of the drawer, which was worth Maria's salary for a month.Captain Gale planned to let Maria leave after giving the money, but suddenly there was singing from downstairs.

Captain Gail hadn't heard singing at home for a long time, and he came downstairs with some mixed feelings. The children were standing neatly singing to Baroness Schrader.Captain Gale saw this scene, and the anger in his heart instantly became much smaller.

Miss Maria was almost fired, because in addition to teaching the children to sing, she was teaching them games these days, and she never thought of teaching them some knowledge.She would have left the von Trapps that afternoon had it not been for the songs she taught the children to really please Captain Gale and Baroness Schrader.

The children were very upset, they thought it was the baroness who wanted to drive Maria away.They have been having a great time with Maria these days and everyone is very fond of the new governess.Especially Lisa. In the past, she never knew who to tell her secrets. Finally, Maria's arrival gave her someone to tell. Now Rove seems to be breaking up with her, so she needs Maria's company even more. up.

Baroness Schrader keenly felt the threat. Maria was a beautiful and lively girl, she was very popular with the children. Captain Gail did not fire her, which also proved that she might be able to please Captain Gail. Such a person If you stay in this home all the time, it will definitely be a huge threat.So Baroness Schrader asked Captain Gale to hold a ball for her to celebrate her arrival, so that she could establish Captain Gale's fiancée status in front of everyone.

Captain Gail readily agreed. Maria's stay or stay is not an important matter to him. As long as he marries Baroness Schrader, there will be no tutor in this family. What he has to do now is Let the kids take on the Baroness.

On the day of the ball, Captain Gail and Baroness Schrader stood at the door to welcome the guests, while Maria and several children quietly discussed the songs they were going to sing tonight in the room, because this matter did not go through Captain Gail’s approval. I agree, so everyone is working hard to keep it secret.

The current situation is not stable anymore, Germany has begun to look at Austria, and the local nobles in Austria have also become polarized.A large number of people in Austria accepted Hitler, but Captain Gail firmly believed that he was an Austrian.Captain Gail also wanted to express his position at the dance, so the Austrian flag was hung in the center of the ballroom.

All the dancers had smiles on their faces, but many of them were thinking about how to deal with the consequences after today's dance. Of course, those who had such thoughts were those who planned to submit to Hitler. People around knew that they had attended a dance held by a staunch anti-German faction, and they didn't know how many misunderstandings there would be.

Captain Gail didn't care about some people who seemed to be sizing up, he stood beside Baroness Schrader, but he was thinking of many things in his heart.Just now a few people saw the Austrian flag in the hall and left resolutely. They dared to leave so decisively, which also proved that the current situation is getting worse, and he should make arrangements for the future.

Yang Yi felt that he was very unlucky, but he was pulled out to deliver a telegram when it was almost night. He just stayed in the library for too long, and when he went back to the post office to pick up his bicycle, he was seen by the chief who was worried that no one would send an urgent telegram.

Yang Yi was even more unhappy about the people he was going to send the telegram to. He had just told Captain Gale two days ago that he would never send letters to their house again, but he was going to visit in less than a week.

Stepping on the bicycle, Yang Yi wiped the letter in his chest pocket, not because he was willing to spy on Captain Gale's private letter, but because as the situation became more and more tense, the postmen wanted to know more about current affairs so that they could do it later. If you have a good plan, you will take a look at it in private. This has become an open secret among all postmen in the post office.

Obviously Yang Yi was quite unlucky today, the contents of the telegram he saw were not very good, because the contents indicated that the German army was about to move, and they were already planning to enter Austria.

"Damn the ball!" Yang Yi parked the car at the gate, because he was not wearing the uniform of the post office, so the guards at the gate did not believe that he was here to deliver a telegram, so they were not happy to let him in.Through the big iron gate, Yang Yi could vaguely see the nobles walking around in the hall of Feng Trapp's house.

"I'm really here to deliver a letter. You can ask the butler to come over, he recognizes me." Yang Yi took out the telegram in his pocket and showed it to several guards.

"Sorry sir, as far as I know, the post office is closed now, and you are not wearing a post office uniform. I can't believe you are a postman. Please get out of here immediately, or we will not welcome you." A leading The guard glanced at the telegram in Yang Yi's hand and said.

Yang Yi was speechless when he saw the gun in his hand, these people were definitely not Captain Gale's, otherwise they wouldn't even report the letter from their own officers.Yang Yi stepped on his feet and looked inside again. It was impossible to see whether the housekeeper, Frans, was in there from across the yard.

"Leave quickly." The guard shouted again, this time with a little more impatience.

Yang Yi wisely pushed his bicycle back the same way, but of course he would not go back just like that. The telegram in his hand is very important and must be delivered to Captain Gale as soon as possible.

There is a small road about 500 meters away from von Trapp's house by bicycle, which can lead to the backyard of von Trapp's house. It was from here that Yang Yi went in to find Lisa last time.But in order not to arouse the attention of the guards, Yang Yi had no choice but to turn off the flashlight and walk on the path in the dark, and he had to be careful not to make too much noise.

Lisa took a glass of fruit wine and sat on the stone bench in the yard. In the past, she wished that she could attend those balls, even if the housekeeper would follow her every time, but it still made her feel like she had grown up.But now she doesn't want to grow up anymore, she only touched the adult world a little bit, and she was hit extremely painfully.After meeting Yang Yi that time, Lisa felt very uneasy. She waited for her father to come back and have a good chat with her, but after his father came back, he was only with Baroness Schrader. This ball made her even more sad. Because the dance hall that had been closed since my mother's death was opened today.

"Lisa, why are you sitting here?" Maria came out and saw Lisa was alone, so she went to sit beside her and asked.

"I knew my father loved my mother so much that he didn't find a new wife for several years after she died. I always thought that maybe he would never get another wife, even though I knew it wasn't very realistic, so I kept thinking about it. I was getting ready. But when he did bring back the Baroness Schrader, I was still sad. I had only heard of this lady in a few conversations with my father, and I didn't even know what she was like, nor I don't know if it fits with her, but she is going to be my mother." Lisa said with her head down.

"You will always have a stepmother. I think Baroness Schrader is good, and she will treat you well." Maria put her arm around Lisa's shoulder and comforted her.

"I hope. But father never talked to me once, and I thought he would."

"You mean about that Rove?" Maria asked.

"Well, Rove and I have known each other for a long time, I know he is a good boy, he will not lie to me casually. He has always been very polite, I mean he has never kissed me in our long time, even if he doesn't Will hug me. But I know he likes me very well, but he looked at me so strangely in the library that day. I don’t know what my father said to him that day. I want to know if what my father said to him made him I changed my mind." Lisa said with a choked voice.

"I think you can take the initiative to talk to your father. Maybe tomorrow will be fine. He will be in a good mood after the dance. That's a good opportunity." Maria thought for a while and said.

"I don't dare. Generally, if the father doesn't call us, we won't bother him." Lisa shook her head and said uncertainly.

"Lisa, take it easy, your father is not as strict as you think. Hey, did you hear the birds?"

"Birds?" Lisa stood up immediately, and listened carefully regardless of the wine glass she knocked over. "It's Rove, it's Rove who came looking for me."

"Lisa, are you sure?" Maria asked, frowning.

"Yes, we agreed that if my father is not here, he will imitate birds singing when he comes to me." Lisa said a little excitedly, holding Maria's hand and saying, "I'm going to see her, can you help me? "

"You mean to help you watch your father?"

"Yes, my father may ask me to introduce the people inside."

"Okay, I'll try to stop him, hurry up!" Maria promised Captain Gale, who was smiling and dancing with Baroness Schrader in the ballroom.

Lisa ran to the small pavilion in the back garden with some excitement, and she saw a familiar figure under the street lamp. "Rove!"

"Miss Lisa." Yang Yi nodded to Lisa. In fact, he didn't want to hand over the letter to Captain Gale through Lisa, but it was obvious that his entry into the ballroom at this time would arouse some people's suspicion. He is not the only one who knows the content of this telegram. If someone checks it out, it will bring trouble to Captain Gale.

"Rove, are you here to find me?" Lisa asked nervously.

"Yes, Miss Lisa. I got an urgent telegram at the post office, it was for your father, but the guard at the gate wouldn't let me in, so I came in from the back garden, but I'm not in good shape. Ballroom, so can you give this telegram to your father?" Yang Yi took out the telegram from his pocket and wanted to hand it to Lisa, but Lisa refused to take it.

"Rove, did father say anything to you that day?" Lisa asked.

"Lisa, didn't you have a good talk with your father? Now is not the time to talk about this. This telegram should be very important. You should give it to your father!" Yang Yi said with a sigh.

"I didn't talk to him. He is dancing with my future stepmother now, and I dare not disturb him." Yang Yi didn't come to her, which made Lisa very upset, so she seemed to be angry, she didn't She is willing to help Rove deliver the letter, and she really doesn't want to see her father hugging Baroness Schrader.

"Then can you give this to Butler Frans?"

"I don't know where Butler Frans is." Lisa shook her head, which was true. She hadn't seen the two housekeepers since the ball.

"Then can you call your tutor for me?" Yang Yi asked.

"Okay, I'll call Maria right now." Lisa was not unreasonable, since it was an urgent telegram, it was naturally very important. Although she didn't want to go to her father, she knew that Maria would definitely be willing. Helpful.

Maria was quickly brought over. After listening to Yang Yi's explanation, she immediately accepted the telegram and left in a hurry.

Yang Yi immediately reminded: "Please don't let more people know about the telegram."

The song in the ballroom had just ended, and Captain Gail was joking with Baroness Schrader. Maria felt a little dazzling for no reason, so she walked over after thinking about it, and said to Captain Gail, "Captain, The children have something to discuss with you, can you come here?"

Captain Gail frowned. After listening to the children singing, Max wanted to form a von Trapp family choir on a whim, and wanted the children to perform for everyone today.He certainly wouldn't let the von Trapp kids sing in public, but it looks like the kids wanted to put on a show today.

With dissatisfaction, Captain Gale followed Maria to the stairs, where there was no one else.He asked, "Where are the children, what do they want to talk to me about?"

Maria shook her head and said, "It wasn't the children who asked me to come to you. Captain, you have an urgent telegram from Rove."

"Rove, where is he?" Captain Gale asked immediately.

"The guard at the gate didn't let him in. He found me in the back garden to deliver the letter, and he probably has left now." Maria whispered, and then opened her hand to let Captain Gale see the telegram in her hand.

Captain Gail quickly took the telegram and stuffed it into his pocket. Urgent telegrams that come at night are usually very important things, and the important things at this time are obviously related to the German army.

Captain Gail glanced at Maria, and then said seriously: "Miss Maria, please help me take care of the children, and tell the Baroness that I'm sorry, I'll be there soon."

"Okay, Captain." Maria nodded confusedly, not understanding why Captain Gale had such a serious expression, but she was smart enough not to ask further questions.

Captain Gale glanced at the people who started dancing again in the ballroom, and quickly went upstairs into his study.
