Unlimited Food Plan
Chapter 60 Medieval 12
This is an afternoon that the three sisters of the Damon family can remember forever, but Du Changqiu, who is remembered, is completely unaware of it. He is just happy that the girls are happy. After spending an afternoon together, facing the coquettishness of the younger sisters, Du Changqiu really has more sense of reality as a brother.
I have to say, as a person who never had siblings, Du Changqiu didn't feel bad.
One afternoon, he solved the assignments for the girls, listened to some of their small wishes, and talked for a while. The girls' writing class in the afternoon was about to start, and Annie reminded her twice before taking them away. Reluctant girls.
After chatting with the girls, Du Changqiu immediately started preparing the luggage for the baron's castle.
Time is already very tight,? Because of the delay on the road, Butler George and the others came back a little later than expected,? They have to set off in two days.
The first thing to arrange is to box the presents. Of course, the candy for Baron Polly cannot be carried in a burlap bag like this. It has to be wrapped,? No matter what, it has to look tall to be in line with the status of a baron.The packaging method is also very simple. After this period of time, the candies are made into pieces with molds and then neatly stacked in wooden boxes. In this era when everyone is very rough, this packaging is decent enough. up.
There are three whole boxes of candies, which are just twice as thick as the usual gifts from the Werther Manor. It won't be particularly eye-catching, but it is within the range enough to impress the Baron. The gift is ready.
There are still a lot of things to do next. Veronica will take the maid with her. There are six or seven suitcases for women’s travel clothes, plus some daily necessities. The dress that Du Changqiu wants to wear can be worn directly. —Charlie has a very precious taffeta jacket from the baron, an old baron's suit, which he wore at the ball at the manor he just inherited. It is decent and loyal, and it is an excellent choice.
Of course, for Du Changqiu, the best thing is not to have money.
Butler George was very reliable. He neatly packed the dresses Du Changqiu was going to wear during this time, which took another half a day.
It's no wonder that the nobleman had to prepare for several days to go out. Men's clothes and accessories were troublesome. Du Changqiu took a look at them reluctantly and left all these things to George's housekeeper, who then led people into the kitchen.
It took a month to go back and forth on the road, and Du Changqiu felt that it didn't matter at all whether he wore a buckskin jacket or a wolf fur cape for the dance, he had to arrange what he would eat on the road!
The fireworks in the kitchen went up and burned non-stop for two days. Early on the third morning, when Du Changqiu woke up, George led the servants to quickly dismantle his bed and bedding, and loaded them into the carriage.
After Du Changqiu had finished his breakfast, the women of Damon's family had to follow him all the way and send him out of the manor. In the end, Du Changqiu and Veronica hugged everyone and said goodbye to them one by one before finally boarding the carriage.
The carriage team set off, and a calf of several hundred catties lay comfortably on the carriage that Du Changqiu had specially padded with a soft wool carpet, put its big head on Du Changqiu's lap, waited obediently for Du Changqiu to pet it, and occasionally took a bite of Du Changqiu's special Give him a delicious, steaming meal that the cow stole in the storage container.
The two set off so happily, the long carriage team left the manor and headed for the baron's territory.
It has to be said that although he was mentally prepared, the journey was still difficult and Du Changqiu was amazed countless times.
He didn't expect that he didn't even leave his territory. After climbing three mountains, he had already encountered a broken bridge and a road full of mud where the axle of the carriage almost sank.
Although the subordinates are very experienced, they quickly built bridges and filled things to solve these road problems, and everyone continued on the road, but along the way, various problems appeared frequently, and some problems that could be solved by going down the slope to the opposite side had to be detoured Big circle, almost half a day has passed.
It's no wonder that he only went to the Baron's for half a month to attend the dance, so he had to leave half a month in advance. If it wasn't earlier, the dance would be over by the time he arrived!
Not only is the journey difficult, but even the food is definitely not as good as the manor. There are many people in the team-Veronica and her maid, plus the servants chosen by George, and the guards brought by Joseph. Up to six teams of 70 people.With so many people watching, Fan Xing couldn't show up casually, let alone hunting. They ate the toast brought from the manor along the way, plus the stew and apple sauce that Du Changqiu asked Aunt Mary to make in advance.
Every day, I bake the bread on the iron pan that comes with it, and then dig a big lump of sweet applesauce and spread it on the bread in the morning. The crispy bread with sweet jam tastes good, and I’m tired of eating it For sweetness, fry two slices of bacon with some butter (fresh meat bought in George’s uptown, Du Changqiu asked Aunt Mary to reset the version according to his recipe), and put it in bread. It’s also a good classic sandwich.
This is how everyone in the group ate. Everyone ate the bread baked by Aunt Mary, but Du Changqiu and Veronica ate more meat, and the bread was finer white bread, while the others ate sandwiches. It’s just black bread with barley flour or oatmeal flour. No one has any objection to this. Just kidding, following the stingy master, maybe there is no bread with sawdust added, and more boiled beans and vegetable leaf soup are given.
Now that I can eat so well, with bread, meat and sugar, everyone is already satisfied and couldn't be more satisfied!
Therefore, everyone has a strong obsession with protecting Mr. Charlie. I am afraid that such a good life will be gone if such a loving lord is gone. When passing through the land of other little lords, several little lords led people Standing on a distant hillside, he looked at Du Changqiu and his party for a long time. At that time, everyone, including the servants in the manor, stood up with a look of vigilance, as if they were going to fight each other at any time.
But in the end, there was still no fight. After all, these years, everyone could barely eat enough, unlike the previous era when even the lord would be hungry, so there were much fewer fights over a piece of bread and bacon.
In short, before there is no greater temptation, everyone will be relatively peaceful.
In this way, they walked safely for half a month, and finally arrived at Baron Polly's castle before the ball started.
·
It is completely different from the mayor-level castle in Wilt Manor. Baron Polly's castle is five or six times larger than Wilt's small castle with only six or seven rooms. It is said that there are more than [-] rooms, which are generally enough to entertain Guests who are exhausted by boats and cars.
There were a lot of guests this time, probably because of the wedding, basically Baron Polly's relatives and subordinates came, some of them checked in early, and there were rooms reserved for relatives of the baron with higher status, so Du Changqiu and The eldest sister, Veronica, was only allocated a relatively small corner room.
But both of them are very satisfied, because the rooms are connected and in the corner, there are no other neighbors, and there is a small side room, which just arranges their own maids and housekeepers. As for the sheriff Joseph and the half of his subordinates brought by him Arranged to rest in the town hotel in the baron's territory, this place is relatively safe, and it doesn't matter if you don't have to follow him all the time.
The ball will be held in the evening, and the next morning after arriving, Du Changqiu immediately invited the baron to present him with a wedding present.
"Charlie, you are indeed a brother who grew up with me!" Baron Polly was very moved when he saw the three boxes of candies. He got up from the desk, hugged Du Changqiu heavily, and said with tears in his eyes, "I've been looking forward to your arrival!"
"Your Excellency Polly, I will always be your most loyal brother." Du Changqiu also hugged Baron Polly heavily. He was telling the truth. The original Charlie did regard Baron Polly as his object of allegiance. After all, he He grew up in the castle, and besides his own brother, his best brother was Baron Polly.
And Baron Polly's deterrent role in Charlie's successful succession to the manor is also very important. After all, if it wasn't for Baron Polly, if Charlie wanted to return to the territory alone, something would happen halfway.
The road to succession in this era is not so peaceful. More often than not, speculators directly contact the second and third heirs, kill the previous heirs, and then help their partners to rise to share the benefits.
In addition, there is a stipulation in the current succession law, that is, in the order of not much difference, the heir who arrives first has the right to inherit.
This has resulted in countless murders. The two relatives before Charlie probably arrived at about the same time. If Charlie really died, the two of them would probably have to fight for a long time to determine who would inherit the manor.
So Charlie was able to successfully inherit the manor, thanks to the blessing of Baron Polly who grew up with him.
Therefore, Du Changqiu was also willing to maintain a good relationship with Baron Polly. They exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Du Changqiu quickly figured out Baron Polly's temper.
The baron is a very typical old-fashioned nobleman who loves swordsmanship and horseback riding. He is very conservative and stable in the management and arrangement of the territory, and his financial situation is relatively stable. He is a law-abiding nobleman.
He doesn't have too much ambition, and he emphasizes feelings. For example, Charlie, who is clearly the owner of a small manor, can only be regarded as half of the noble class, and his status is extremely different from him. He can be regarded as a brother, which shows the character of Baron Polly .
Charlie himself didn't see this very clearly. He probably regarded Baron Polly as half loyal to his master, but Du Changqiu quickly discovered it.
"Actually, I don't have any money. Your Excellency, as you know, my family's land is not rich." Du Changqiu quickly judged that he had to change his perception of dealing with Baron Polly at the beginning.This Lord Baron is unexpectedly a man of great affection, and if such a man feels that his feelings have been fooled in the future, it is likely to turn into a great rage.
Du Changqiu didn't intend to leave such a hidden danger for himself, so he immediately changed his original statement and said frankly to Baron Polly: "In addition, my brother passed away, I was sick, and I had to prepare everything for my sister Veronica's debut at the ball." Things... I'm very short on money, so I didn't spend a single penny on the candies I sent you."
"What? Then where did you get these free candies? You... robbed the caravan?" Baron Polly asked suddenly.
It’s no wonder that he asked this question. In this era, doing business is still a very high-risk thing. In fact, the early business routes were basically opened up by force. The big merchants themselves were the offshoots or spokespersons of certain nobles, and foreign big merchants even He will come and go with his own private soldiers, because otherwise, there is no way to protect precious goods.
"No, Your Excellency." Du Changqiu stepped forward and said softly, "I know the way to get sugar from the land."
When he originally came, he didn't intend to tell this matter to the outside world, and made a fortune in silence. Anyway, after a period of development, he has raised soldiers and horses, and whoever comes to attack him will not be able to take advantage of him.
But Baron Polly's attitude is a huge variable. Du Changqiu found that Baron Polly actually took care of Charlie, who grew up with him, as a brother. The arrangement must not be a coincidence.
Since this can be achieved, Baron Polly's right to inherit Charlie's right to be securely implemented must be under the watchful eye of Baron Polly. It would be a waste of money for such a person not to be pulled over to become a teammate.
Du Changqiu thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the baron frankly that if he got his approval and some help, Du Changqiu would have the confidence to act a little bit more—for example, Concerns about the church, some surrounding mining and development, with the care of Baron Polly, everything will be much simpler.
Besides, in such a big sugar market, how much can Du Changqiu eat?
It's better to reciprocate, the so-called relationship is like this, you help me and I help you, and it is slowly ingrained. Since the other party is somewhat sincere, it is better to maintain it well and turn the seventy-eight percent sincerity into a [-]% best friend.
After Du Changqiu finished speaking, before Baron Polly was shocked, he whispered the secret about the ability to extract sugar from beets.
Of course, he said that the process was that his cook was stewing beet soup one night and found it by accident. is that true?!"
"Of course, my lord baron, the boxes of candies you saw were all boiled out by me recently under the watchful eyes of others. I have been eating these candies all the time. They are very sweet and there is no problem." Du Changqiu explained seriously .
"My brother! Charlie, you actually told me such an important thing!" Baron Polly was so excited that he couldn't sit down when he suddenly heard such important news. He walked up and down the room, excited for a long time, Suddenly walked back to the desk and pulled out a map from the drawer!
"My brother, planting beets requires a little extra land!" Baron Polly pointed to the map on the parchment and said to the mountains near the Werther Manor, "North of here is the old Messer Weir But the old man only has a distant nephew, from this apple grove to this lake, I will give it to you as a gift from me!"
Du Changqiu's eyes lit up instantly!
It had to be said that he was not wrong in his judgment. This Baron Polly was indeed an upright and enthusiastic person in power. Once he felt that this person had lived up to his feelings, he would be extra generous.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency!" Du Changqiu didn't refuse, and Kansai people don't pay attention to hypocritical politeness. At this time, they only need to show their joy exaggeratedly to win the favor of the gift giver.
Sure enough, Baron Polly laughed too, seeing how happy he was.
Before the dance started, Du Changqiu took Baron Polly in the kitchen. Together, the two supervised Baron Polly's confidantes to experiment with the method of sugar production. When they found that sugar was really extracted from cheap beets, condensed, and finally After scooping up a spoonful of syrup with a silver spoon and eating it with toasted crispy bread, before the dance began, Baron Polly happily held Du Changqiu's arm and insisted on calling him brother!
"My brother, my blood relative!" When Baron Polly was drunk, he called Du Changqiu that repeatedly in front of everyone. The obvious difference made the Du Changqiu brothers and sisters quickly become the focus of the ball.
Du Changqiu was actually a little uncomfortable with the unrestrained emotional expression of the Kansai people, but he knew that Baron Polly was just happy because he wanted to get rich. In order to cooperate, he had to keep responding to Baron Polly. big.
And Fan Xing, who secretly went to the back kitchen to inspect the back kitchen, wanted to see what good things are in the new site, came back, and saw Baron Polly hugging Du Changqiu in a wildly exaggerated aria telling the past of them growing up together, and constantly emphasizing that "Charlie is like my blood relative, I His own brother", and his human being still smiled so brightly, as if he was so similar to that tall, strong and fat man who didn't take a bath.
Fanxing is very unhappy, but now he is a big cow who knows the seriousness.
He wants to protect this person and prevent others from discovering him, so he can't do anything, he can only watch helplessly, Fan Xing stomps his feet on the spot angrily, almost falling out of anger!
Fortunately, Fan Xing heard a little movement just before Kuai Qi exploded.
Someone mentioned Veronica. Before the prom, Du Changqiu specially asked Fanxing to pay more attention to Veronica when he was not free. After all, this is the first time the little girl attended the prom, so just don't be bullied.
Fanxing heard the voice of a young man, asking the people around him in a low voice: "The girl in the yellow dress is Veronica?"
"Yes, Du Laer." Someone next to him said softly with a frivolous smile, "Why, are you interested?"
"The girls in Damon's family, their father and eldest brother are both dead. Although the second brother Charlie seems to be a popular person around the baron, he has been separated since childhood and has no feelings at all... Each of them can have a dowry of twenty pounds Even if Charlie is kind!" The young man named Du Laer finished speaking disdainfully, then suddenly smiled again, and said, "However, it would be too wasteful for such a beautiful girl to marry a farmer, I really can't bear to see the beauty I am in trouble, but I am willing to keep her outside."
When Fanxing heard this, he became angry immediately!
Although he doesn't care about people other than Du Changqiu, he at least understands one thing, Du Changqiu and the girls around him are all under his cover!
This person dared to play Veronica's idea!
This person's desires are too dirty, Fanxing saw his evil desires, and in Dural's delusions, there was a picture of Veronica being raised in a certain house and becoming a mistress.
Fanxing didn't like this kind of evil desire with darkness, he blinked and conveyed this image directly to Du Changqiu.
Du Changqiu was socializing, when suddenly his eyes went dark, and then saw the scene of Veronica being bullied, he was startled, and then suddenly felt Fanxing's thinking directly in his mind.
He immediately understood that a swinger was after Veronica.
This little bastard!
The first dance was originally for men and women to get to know each other and socialize. After the parents brought people in, according to the rules, the young men and women had to have some free time to move around and socialize.
It’s okay if the mother is on the side, Du Changqiu is a young man, it’s not right to be in the crowd of ladies, so Du Changqiu has arranged for the housekeeper George to inquire about everything, and entrusted Mrs. Will, who lives on the same floor, is also the baroness His mother brought Veronica into the arena and took care of Veronica.
But he started to watch from a distance as if the atmosphere was fine, but now he watched, the girls next to Veronica were talking to each other, and they seemed to be leaving her aside.
Obviously, although Mrs. Will, the countess, brought Veronica on stage because of the baron's favor, she seemed to look down on the little sister of the knight of the small manor, and she didn't want to take care of Veronica at all. The card was hanging, wanting to see how she laughed.
Du Changqiu's original idea was to raise Veronica's status, but he didn't expect that the entrusted status was too different, and he made such a mistake, which made people feel that he didn't value this sister.
Du Changqiu frowned, especially when he saw from a distance that a well-dressed young man walked towards Veronica, Du Changqiu suddenly felt a vague anger in his heart, and his expression remained unchanged. , only using a voice that can be heard around, said softly to the baron: "Master Polly, please allow me to take my leave first, I have to go and see my sister."
"What's wrong with your sister?" Polly was drinking happily, can he not be happy?He was about to make a fortune, and he was glad that the brother who grew up with him was really interesting, and he didn't help the wrong person. Hearing Du Changqiu's sudden words, he couldn't help being stunned.
"The opening dance is about to start, and I have to dance this dance with my sister." Du Changqiu smiled, and said with a little embarrassment unique to young people, "After all, my father left a dowry of a thousand pounds for each of my sisters. , just to let them choose the right man, my sister is young, I don't want her to be confused by someone unknown at the first dance."
After finishing speaking, he walked directly to Veronica regardless of the shocking expressions of the people around him!
The newly appointed baroness behind her looked in the direction of her mother, and her face changed. She didn't expect that the country lady who only wore cotton skirts could have such an amazing dowry!
It seems that she has to be coaxed by her mother and sisters these days. No one else knows, but the newly appointed baroness knows her own affairs best.Although their family still has the status of an earl, it has long lost the glory of the past. Not to mention the loss of the family business, the father has also lost the favor of the king. Now the family is already stretched.
The baroness didn't even have a penny in dowry!Otherwise, with her beauty and background, she wouldn't be able to marry only one baron.A girl who can buy a new manor at any time and has a deep relationship with her brother who is the owner of the manor. The eldest brother who inherits the title deserves better, but for the second brother who has no inheritance rights, this is a very good marriage partner.
Marrying her is equivalent to marrying her own small manor. In the future, relying on her eldest brother and father, she can live a decent life.
And the baroness is not the only one who thinks this way, after all, a dowry of [-] pounds is rare these days, and it is enough to marry a baron!
Those who heard the news all showed thoughtful eyes.
The author has something to say: The more I write, the more I feel that Fan Xing is really a pure and proud princess!
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: Panzihe? 10 bottles; I will never change the mailbox next time? 5 bottles;
Thank you for subscribing to genuine little angels, and I will give you refills!
I have to say, as a person who never had siblings, Du Changqiu didn't feel bad.
One afternoon, he solved the assignments for the girls, listened to some of their small wishes, and talked for a while. The girls' writing class in the afternoon was about to start, and Annie reminded her twice before taking them away. Reluctant girls.
After chatting with the girls, Du Changqiu immediately started preparing the luggage for the baron's castle.
Time is already very tight,? Because of the delay on the road, Butler George and the others came back a little later than expected,? They have to set off in two days.

There are still a lot of things to do next. Veronica will take the maid with her. There are six or seven suitcases for women’s travel clothes, plus some daily necessities. The dress that Du Changqiu wants to wear can be worn directly. —Charlie has a very precious taffeta jacket from the baron, an old baron's suit, which he wore at the ball at the manor he just inherited. It is decent and loyal, and it is an excellent choice.
Of course, for Du Changqiu, the best thing is not to have money.
Butler George was very reliable. He neatly packed the dresses Du Changqiu was going to wear during this time, which took another half a day.
It's no wonder that the nobleman had to prepare for several days to go out. Men's clothes and accessories were troublesome. Du Changqiu took a look at them reluctantly and left all these things to George's housekeeper, who then led people into the kitchen.

The two set off so happily, the long carriage team left the manor and headed for the baron's territory.
It has to be said that although he was mentally prepared, the journey was still difficult and Du Changqiu was amazed countless times.

Not only is the journey difficult, but even the food is definitely not as good as the manor. There are many people in the team-Veronica and her maid, plus the servants chosen by George, and the guards brought by Joseph. Up to six teams of 70 people.With so many people watching, Fan Xing couldn't show up casually, let alone hunting. They ate the toast brought from the manor along the way, plus the stew and apple sauce that Du Changqiu asked Aunt Mary to make in advance.
Every day, I bake the bread on the iron pan that comes with it, and then dig a big lump of sweet applesauce and spread it on the bread in the morning.

In short, before there is no greater temptation, everyone will be relatively peaceful.
In this way, they walked safely for half a month, and finally arrived at Baron Polly's castle before the ball started.

It is completely different from the mayor-level castle in Wilt Manor. Baron Polly's castle is five or six times larger than Wilt's small castle with only six or seven rooms. It is said that there are more than [-] rooms, which are generally enough to entertain Guests who are exhausted by boats and cars.
There were a lot of guests this time, probably because of the wedding, basically Baron Polly's relatives and subordinates came, some of them checked in early, and there were rooms reserved for relatives of the baron with higher status, so Du Changqiu and The eldest sister, Veronica, was only allocated a relatively small corner room.
But both of them are very satisfied, because the rooms are connected and in the corner, there are no other neighbors, and there is a small side room, which just arranges their own maids and housekeepers. As for the sheriff Joseph and the half of his subordinates brought by him Arranged to rest in the town hotel in the baron's territory, this place is relatively safe, and it doesn't matter if you don't have to follow him all the time.
The ball will be held in the evening, and the next morning after arriving, Du Changqiu immediately invited the baron to present him with a wedding present.
"Charlie, you are indeed a brother who grew up with me!" Baron Polly was very moved when he saw the three boxes of candies. He got up from the desk, hugged Du Changqiu heavily, and said with tears in his eyes, "I've been looking forward to your arrival!"
"Your Excellency Polly, I will always be your most loyal brother." Du Changqiu also hugged Baron Polly heavily. He was telling the truth.

Besides, in such a big sugar market, how much can Du Changqiu eat?
It's better to reciprocate, the so-called relationship is like this, you help me and I help you, and it is slowly ingrained. Since the other party is somewhat sincere, it is better to maintain it well and turn the seventy-eight percent sincerity into a [-]% best friend.
After Du Changqiu finished speaking, before Baron Polly was shocked, he whispered the secret about the ability to extract sugar from beets.
Of course, he said that the process was that his cook was stewing beet soup one night and found it by accident. is that true?!"
"Of course, my lord baron, the boxes of candies you saw were all boiled out by me recently under the watchful eyes of others. I have been eating these candies all the time. They are very sweet and there is no problem." Du Changqiu explained seriously .
"My brother! Charlie, you actually told me such an important thing!" Baron Polly was so excited that he couldn't sit down when he suddenly heard such important news. He walked up and down the room, excited for a long time, Suddenly walked back to the desk and pulled out a map from the drawer!
"My brother, planting beets requires a little extra land!" Baron Polly pointed to the map on the parchment and said to the mountains near the Werther Manor, "North of here is the old Messer Weir But the old man only has a distant nephew, from this apple grove to this lake, I will give it to you as a gift from me!"
Du Changqiu's eyes lit up instantly!
It had to be said that he was not wrong in his judgment. This Baron Polly was indeed an upright and enthusiastic person in power. Once he felt that this person had lived up to his feelings, he would be extra generous.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency!" Du Changqiu didn't refuse, and Kansai people don't pay attention to hypocritical politeness. At this time, they only need to show their joy exaggeratedly to win the favor of the gift giver.
Sure enough, Baron Polly laughed too, seeing how happy he was.
Before the dance started, Du Changqiu took Baron Polly in the kitchen. Together, the two supervised Baron Polly's confidantes to experiment with the method of sugar production. When they found that sugar was really extracted from cheap beets, condensed, and finally After scooping up a spoonful of syrup with a silver spoon and eating it with toasted crispy bread, before the dance began, Baron Polly happily held Du Changqiu's arm and insisted on calling him brother!
"My brother, my blood relative!" When Baron Polly was drunk, he called Du Changqiu that repeatedly in front of everyone. The obvious difference made the Du Changqiu brothers and sisters quickly become the focus of the ball.
Du Changqiu was actually a little uncomfortable with the unrestrained emotional expression of the Kansai people, but he knew that Baron Polly was just happy because he wanted to get rich. In order to cooperate, he had to keep responding to Baron Polly. big.
And Fan Xing, who secretly went to the back kitchen to inspect the back kitchen, wanted to see what good things are in the new site, came back, and saw Baron Polly hugging Du Changqiu in a wildly exaggerated aria telling the past of them growing up together, and constantly emphasizing that "Charlie is like my blood relative, I His own brother", and his human being still smiled so brightly, as if he was so similar to that tall, strong and fat man who didn't take a bath.
Fanxing is very unhappy, but now he is a big cow who knows the seriousness.
He wants to protect this person and prevent others from discovering him, so he can't do anything, he can only watch helplessly, Fan Xing stomps his feet on the spot angrily, almost falling out of anger!
Fortunately, Fan Xing heard a little movement just before Kuai Qi exploded.
Someone mentioned Veronica. Before the prom, Du Changqiu specially asked Fanxing to pay more attention to Veronica when he was not free. After all, this is the first time the little girl attended the prom, so just don't be bullied.
Fanxing heard the voice of a young man, asking the people around him in a low voice: "The girl in the yellow dress is Veronica?"
"Yes, Du Laer." Someone next to him said softly with a frivolous smile, "Why, are you interested?"
"The girls in Damon's family, their father and eldest brother are both dead. Although the second brother Charlie seems to be a popular person around the baron, he has been separated since childhood and has no feelings at all... Each of them can have a dowry of twenty pounds Even if Charlie is kind!" The young man named Du Laer finished speaking disdainfully, then suddenly smiled again, and said, "However, it would be too wasteful for such a beautiful girl to marry a farmer, I really can't bear to see the beauty I am in trouble, but I am willing to keep her outside."
When Fanxing heard this, he became angry immediately!
Although he doesn't care about people other than Du Changqiu, he at least understands one thing, Du Changqiu and the girls around him are all under his cover!
This person dared to play Veronica's idea!
This person's desires are too dirty, Fanxing saw his evil desires, and in Dural's delusions, there was a picture of Veronica being raised in a certain house and becoming a mistress.
Fanxing didn't like this kind of evil desire with darkness, he blinked and conveyed this image directly to Du Changqiu.
Du Changqiu was socializing, when suddenly his eyes went dark, and then saw the scene of Veronica being bullied, he was startled, and then suddenly felt Fanxing's thinking directly in his mind.
He immediately understood that a swinger was after Veronica.
This little bastard!
The first dance was originally for men and women to get to know each other and socialize. After the parents brought people in, according to the rules, the young men and women had to have some free time to move around and socialize.
It’s okay if the mother is on the side, Du Changqiu is a young man, it’s not right to be in the crowd of ladies, so Du Changqiu has arranged for the housekeeper George to inquire about everything, and entrusted Mrs. Will, who lives on the same floor, is also the baroness His mother brought Veronica into the arena and took care of Veronica.
But he started to watch from a distance as if the atmosphere was fine, but now he watched, the girls next to Veronica were talking to each other, and they seemed to be leaving her aside.
Obviously, although Mrs. Will, the countess, brought Veronica on stage because of the baron's favor, she seemed to look down on the little sister of the knight of the small manor, and she didn't want to take care of Veronica at all. The card was hanging, wanting to see how she laughed.
Du Changqiu's original idea was to raise Veronica's status, but he didn't expect that the entrusted status was too different, and he made such a mistake, which made people feel that he didn't value this sister.
Du Changqiu frowned, especially when he saw from a distance that a well-dressed young man walked towards Veronica, Du Changqiu suddenly felt a vague anger in his heart, and his expression remained unchanged. , only using a voice that can be heard around, said softly to the baron: "Master Polly, please allow me to take my leave first, I have to go and see my sister."
"What's wrong with your sister?" Polly was drinking happily, can he not be happy?He was about to make a fortune, and he was glad that the brother who grew up with him was really interesting, and he didn't help the wrong person. Hearing Du Changqiu's sudden words, he couldn't help being stunned.
"The opening dance is about to start, and I have to dance this dance with my sister." Du Changqiu smiled, and said with a little embarrassment unique to young people, "After all, my father left a dowry of a thousand pounds for each of my sisters. , just to let them choose the right man, my sister is young, I don't want her to be confused by someone unknown at the first dance."
After finishing speaking, he walked directly to Veronica regardless of the shocking expressions of the people around him!
The newly appointed baroness behind her looked in the direction of her mother, and her face changed. She didn't expect that the country lady who only wore cotton skirts could have such an amazing dowry!
It seems that she has to be coaxed by her mother and sisters these days. No one else knows, but the newly appointed baroness knows her own affairs best.Although their family still has the status of an earl, it has long lost the glory of the past. Not to mention the loss of the family business, the father has also lost the favor of the king. Now the family is already stretched.
The baroness didn't even have a penny in dowry!Otherwise, with her beauty and background, she wouldn't be able to marry only one baron.A girl who can buy a new manor at any time and has a deep relationship with her brother who is the owner of the manor. The eldest brother who inherits the title deserves better, but for the second brother who has no inheritance rights, this is a very good marriage partner.
Marrying her is equivalent to marrying her own small manor. In the future, relying on her eldest brother and father, she can live a decent life.
And the baroness is not the only one who thinks this way, after all, a dowry of [-] pounds is rare these days, and it is enough to marry a baron!
Those who heard the news all showed thoughtful eyes.
The author has something to say: The more I write, the more I feel that Fan Xing is really a pure and proud princess!
