The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

139.

The next holiday, Anna thought of it after seeing Maria.

Oran is a place full of vitality and rising. There are a lot of children, and the proportion is not small, especially the princess Maria is there. It is not too much for her to arrange a Children's Day in Oran, right?

The current festivals are mainly concentrated in the autumn and winter seasons, that is, from the beginning of September to January of the following year, there are festivals one after another, and because the harvest festival is usually long-lasting, even if it is just to relax the most lively few Today, it seems that the division of festivals is a bit uneven.

Therefore, after thinking about the existing schedule and festival time, Anna decided to put Children's Day in summer.

At this time, the children are at home on vacation, and there are no festivals in summer.

The heat is hot, but if it is handled well, there is still a lot to say.

Anna asked the people around her for their opinions, combined with the activities of the local busy farming time and local traditions, and finally decided that the weekend of the first week of August will be Children's Day.

At this time, the pressure of farming has basically gone down, and both adults and children can have a relatively leisure time at home to escape the heat.

Children can get free candy from the Lord's Mansion on this day, one for each person, and there are also very cheap but delicious and delicious ice drinks. The specific content can be arranged according to the situation.

It is very difficult to get ice cubes without magic props.

Traditional methods such as physical ice cellar storage are difficult for the vast majority of residents, but unless they specialize in the ice cream business, most people will not prepare things like magic ice machines at home.

Moreover, on Oran's side, although there are certain alchemy props and magic props that can be exchanged for purchase, the restrictions are relatively large, such as ice machines, which are relatively expensive, and those who are eligible to purchase in the territory not only need It can be said that there are really few people who have money but also have contribution value.

This group of people is also unlikely to sell things, because this is not allowed by the regulations, and it is a reward to them to a certain extent. Unless it is really too difficult and urgently needs money, everyone will be very happy. Cherish this kind of thing that can improve their quality of life.

For the little ones, being able to taste delicious candy and iced drinks in summer is a great reward.

In addition, in fact, there is a festival similar to Children's Day in Oran, called "William's Day". The original meaning is that many years ago, a local lord was also the head of the district. I don’t want to wrong the child, so every year when the youngest son named William celebrates his birthday, he will hold a very grand ball in the territory of Oran, and invite the citizens to come and participate, but more More often than not, children are invited to come.

On this day, the children need to make special dress-ups to participate in an event similar to a masquerade party, and the only person in the venue who does not need to make any dress-up is William.

Every year's birthday is spent like this. Over the past ten years, it has gradually become a day not only celebrated by the lord with his son, but also celebrated by the lords for their children. .

However, in the previous William's Day, because of the financial support of the lord, he poured out a lot of money, so the lords could make their children easier. Even children who were not invited to the masquerade ball could get a small reward.

After the lord left Oran and changed to a more prosperous territory, the people who stayed in Oran did not have the conditions or money to hold a grand ball, but they would just give the children an extra piece of meat or a piece of meat on this day. Sugar like this, some children will dress up by themselves.

Now, Anna has incorporated some of the customs of William's Day into Children's Day, and a dance party can be held in the square at that time. The protagonists are naturally all the children in the territory. They can exchange candy with each other on this day, and they can sing as much as they want. In singing and dancing, there is no question of who is the center.

All children, on this day, are precious and important lucky ones to be celebrated.

There is Race Day in late spring, Children's Day in summer, and the original ones. Relatively speaking, there are fewer festivals in summer and winter, but other proposals have their own flaws.

Since there is no way for everyone to come up with a consensus, Anna will temporarily put this aside here, and wait until she finds out before continuing to add.

This announcement of the holiday arrangement was edited by Miss Rabbit Judy. As the deputy clerk, she is still in charge of speaking to the outside world, but usually she is not allowed to appear on stage or anything, but what she wrote is in Anna or Cinderella. After the superior leaders have seen it, it is very likely that it will be displayed directly, so it can be regarded as a promotion to a certain extent——

It is not just a person who is a transcriptionist, but what can be displayed in writing always needs to be more cautious and much more important.

As soon as the public announcement came out, the response from the residents was quite good, the degree of discussion was quite high, and everyone's attitude was relatively positive.

There is no trace of the kind of passive sabotage or not taking it seriously, but everyone is quite happy to discuss this matter.

Judging from this situation, the most recent grand festival is the Oran Children's Day stipulated by Lord Anna.

Coincidentally, in about a month or so, the performances prepared by Maria and the others should begin. The combination of the two can just make the festival celebration held for the first time even more exciting. Grand and lively.

The first time is always something special.

Only by making a good start can we guarantee the continuation in the future.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a pretense, so as not to know how to hold related celebrations in the future.

After being busy for another two weeks, the elves in the third district did not see any follow-up discoveries, so they could only continue to wait.

Lettuce had time to go back to District [-] for a rest for a day or two, and Sittel finally had time to rest, and finally stopped his long and continuous letters to complain.

Anna also gave herself a very short vacation, just half a day of afternoon tea, to accompany Emma and the others.

Emma was selected as a young man. Fortunately, she has a good temper, especially she is quite tolerant to her friends. Although it cannot be said that she is someone who will not refuse, she is extremely caring to her friend Anna.

After this period of fun and relaxation, she was visibly in a much better mood.

Previously, she had been immersed in the anxiety of not being able to find a suitable marriage partner. Facing her fate of having to marry, she accepted it.

Now that she has enjoyed all the conveniences of the Earl's Daughter, and she doesn't want to be the kind of maverick who is willing to give up her noble status and life, then she naturally needs to prepare for a better life in the future.

Although it is not entirely a husband whose honor and disgrace depend on her future, at least she can find a man with not too bad character and a similar family background to be her future half. She can make her life much easier.

To put it bluntly, if she doesn't marry well, then her life will not only decline in quality, it will directly change from the simple mode to the hell mode.

Emma Perot is a good example of casting a good tire.

She was born a noble lady, and as the second lady, she doesn't have to bear the pressure of the family. There is an older sister and other older brothers who can worry about family affairs. She is not the youngest one, nor will she be in the noble family Become the one with the highest attention and always be compared.

Although it may seem that one or two things are ignored, she herself accepts it well.

Fortunately, she has a pair of relatively tolerant and gentle noble parents.

To say how good their parents are is of course unconscionable. No matter what the children are, in their eyes, the family is more important than everything else. For the glory of the family, they can even sacrifice their own flesh and blood. similar situation.

But compared horizontally, among the nobles, they can be regarded as very conscientious.

There are not many ladies like Mrs. Perot. There are many noble ladies who have hardly even hugged their children since they were born. Mrs. Perot has several children who are also concerned about Emma. What little concern remains after personal entertainment, husband and family has been sliced ​​into many pieces, but at least Emma can still feel the love.

Mr. Perot is the same, he doesn't care much about the situation at home, this is the same as many nobles, they always have their own things to be busy, in addition to business, entertainment, and socializing, and the family seems to belong to women only, men intervene will be laughed at.

But he also cares about his children. This little love made him willing to give Emma a relatively relaxed environment for choosing a husband, even knowing that she wanted to follow Grand Duke Anna and Princess Maria. After he went to Oran, knowing that she was avoiding trouble, wanting to be lazy and procrastinating, he also acquiesced.

Emma's life has been very good for more than ten years, and it can be seen that it will be the same in the future.

Although the dowry may not be as good as that of her eldest sister, it will not be much less.

As long as his husband is not too bad, even if they play their own way after marriage, she still has the confidence of Miss Perot, so she won't be held accountable or anything.

However, after all, it is about the second half of my life, a large part of my future.

Coupled with the internal disorders and psychological pressure brought about by weight loss and dieting, Emma's situation does not look very good all the way to Yisi City.

After boarding the boat, there was also a part of him that was depressed, not as bright and proud as when he met in the academy, just like a beautiful tulip.

As a result, there was a big problem with Prince Weixi's boat. Not to mention the sinking of the boat, so many people died.

The impact of the shipwreck cannot be underestimated. Even though Emma boarded the ship immediately, she was not actually harmed.

But in the face of this kind of disaster, no one can be completely indifferent. Even Anna digested her emotions silently, making sure that she had done her best, and gradually weakened the impact through constant busyness.

And it's impossible for Emma not to be frightened at all.

It's just that she always looks proud and beautiful, and she doesn't even show a little timidity and weakness. Even if she is asked, she will only raise her chin, looking a little unhappy, asking if she looks down on her or what.

Anna was delighted to see that after coming to Oran to recuperate and play for a while, Emma looked completely back to her old carefree and lovely self.

Those shadows and negativity did not bring irreversible harm to her. She has successfully digested the pressure of life and death crisis, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace in the second half of her life...

Moreover, Emma is indeed a capable noble lady.

Most of the noble ladies will learn how to hold a successful ball, how to make the banquet they hold look more special, how to make every guest feel happy... even how to arrange the banquet, how to arrange the seats, etc. , There is a lot of knowledge in this, and it is full of doorways.

Emma's goal has always been to be an excellent noble lady. As a woman who can take care of all the housework for her husband, she has always studied this aspect.

She has no other ambitions. Although she appreciates Cinderella's life, she is unwilling to let Emma give up everything she has to pursue this kind of career success. Of course, she is willing to start from what she can, Be good at using aspects to help your friend Anna.

Everyone was happy to see how well she was handling it, and Ana kept praising her.

Emma looked extremely proud, the corners of her mouth were turned up, and even fanning could not hide her happy face.

The general theme of today's afternoon tea is to share some recent things with each other.

By the way, there is also a pre-performance by Maria for them.

Maria pulled Amy, Little Red Riding Hood and others to put on a performance that was almost ready. Anna had read the program list and thought there was no problem.

There are ten songs in total, half of them are nursery rhymes and half of them are ordinary songs, some are led by Maria, some are sung by her alone, and some are sung by her and the choir.

They arranged a simple instrumental accompaniment, two players of the invited adult orchestra.

One is a bard who is new to Oran--

Yes, they finally have a bard in Oran. Although he looks a bit perverted, after everyone's observation, he has no problem with his character. Although he is good at talking, he always invites beautiful maids. Waiting for a drink, but more moves are gone.

He will not do inappropriate things to women who have a partner or are not suitable for his age. He has always been very protective of children, and soon became the leader of the group headed by Little Red Riding Hood and Little Stephanie. kids" favorite.

Because he is an adult among so many people in the territory, who will always have candy and is willing to play with the children.

He is very talkative, even if he is teased by little Stephanie, he won't get angry, he just smiles, and then improvises a nursery rhyme about Little Red Riding Hood, and sings it on the side of the road while playing his piano.

At this time, Little Red Riding Hood would quietly listen to him finish singing, sometimes she would complain about the lyrics and music, and most of the time she would jump around after singing and then stamp her feet angrily, arguing with him.

Then, the bard couldn't help laughing, and the scene looked even more boisterous.

As for the other, he is a luthier who belongs to the church. He can tune the piano, play the piano, and also pipe the organ.

Usually there are some big events and festivals, if there is a performance, everyone will go to him.

In Oran, the work of the Temple of Light is very slow.

It can be said that the sense of presence is not strong. Although there are some leaders who will go to pray and other activities at a fixed time, and the pastors are also working hard to promote the teachings, no matter whether they are believers or pastors, they all look like it.

Even if people don't come very often, the pastor will not be angry or anything, he is still so good-tempered.

Everyone will not say something that should not be because of this, and they have maintained a very harmonious and friendly relationship with each other.

Since he is not busy, it is not a big deal that the musician is arranged to be the luthier of the performance.

Even if necessary, you can borrow the piano from the temple, but generally speaking, it is not necessary. There are two in the Lord's Mansion and one among the people, so it is not necessary to borrow instruments from the temple.

Today's singing is symbolic.

That is to say, Maria and her friends sang simply one by one according to the program list.

There is no accompanying music present, it all depends on their own perception.

But Maria took the lead, and this temporary singing group without a conductor performed quite well.

Most people of noble origin know a little music, and the same goes for dancing.

Even if Anna is a parallel importer, she can tell whether it sounds good or not. People like Cinderella and Emma are all professionals, and it is not difficult for them to sing the score or anything.

Therefore, they can also give these children some professional opinions and suggestions.

Everything is for the best performance.

"So, you're going on a business trip again?"

"It doesn't count." Anna added a piece of sugar to her teacup, and Emma looked at her curiously while drinking milk.

"I just want to go to the fifth and sixth districts, and the fourth district." Anna added.

"The construction of the fourth district is relatively slow. Firstly, it is not as urgent as the fifth district of the wharf. Second, the fourth district is an industrial park. There are many buildings such as factory buildings, especially many of which involve magic. My apprentice It was because of this that he showed his skills and received good reviews... But in short, if this is the case, the progress cannot be too fast."

"There is still only one construction team in the territory capable of fully undertaking this kind of construction project."

What Cinderella was talking about was Paul's construction team. Even the mage towers can be used, and they have no problem with ordinary magic factories, but other than that, it is difficult for other ordinary construction teams to do it. Adding a burden to a dedicated construction team, cooperation is more difficult, because the technical difficulty is different, and the habits of building magical buildings may be different. I am afraid that ordinary people will make mistakes and they will come to dismantle them when the time comes.

"Yes," Anna nodded, "but this kind of talent is hard to find. Although we are recruiting, it is still..."

"It's more difficult." Dorothy also nodded.

"But we have cultivated some here." Rapunzel answered, picking out a heart-shaped biscuit to eat.

"I saw that many construction teams are slowly learning and pondering the relevant knowledge of building magical buildings. Although it is difficult to learn, but there are many people who are willing to ponder, they will definitely learn it. I have observed a few people, And their team."

Anna glanced over and was surprised to find that Rapunzel's mission series had also reached the second stage.

However, at present, she has not determined her own development direction, so she has not even completed task (1), but this kind of progress is huge, and generally speaking, it is a gratifying achievement.

"At that time, I will mainly go to the fifth and sixth districts for inspection and acceptance. I heard that the fifth district is almost done?"

"Well, how should I put it..." Lettuce hesitated, and said, "Although I focused on the residential area, where there are important mansions such as the Lord's Mansion, I have also seen other places, and the common people's places are quite simple. , but the infrastructure, road framework and so on have indeed been fixed. The level is definitely not as good as the current district, but to be able to achieve this level in such a short period of time is already a lot of manpower, material and financial resources invested in it. gone."

"It's like this." Cinderella sighed, "For the financial expenses during this period, I just watched the money flow out."

"If you can't get your money back..."

"No." Emma laughed, "In any case, His Majesty the King will not let Anna suffer like this, and our Princess Maria is here too!"

Maria didn't know why, just now when she was discussing with her friends about revising the song, she suddenly heard her mentioned, she raised her head, thought for a while, and said without hesitation:

"I'll do my best!"

Everyone laughed together.

The atmosphere is quite relaxed.

The night before, Anna set off to inspect the fifth and sixth districts.

This time, she was the only one who went out. As the lord, she inspected the situation, and later she would arrange for Cinderella or others to follow up, and the reluctant Sittle was also in the same car.

"Oh..." Sittel took a fan from nowhere, it looked like it should be a women's fan, but he fanned it in his hand, but it showed a sense of flirtatiousness.

He is a very good-looking fox, and with such a fan, not only does it not make people feel awkward and feminine, but it also makes it look special.

Anna didn't have any charming thoughts about him, but unexpectedly he seemed to have some other thoughts.

After a night's drive, she observed it for a long time.

In the end, Anna affirmed—

The fox who ideally found the heart-beating young lady is probably really heart-beating.

Although she doesn't know how much this heartbeat is and how long it can last, but seeing that he is so unintentional to work when he starts to emit pink bubbles, Anna has to doubt it.

Now she knows that for some people, falling in love does affect their studies, and by the same token, falling in love also affects their work.

Anna, who didn't want to admit that she was Zhou's pickpocket, began to ponder the feasibility of "destroying flowers with hot hands".

No way, this is probably forced by the situation...
