Chapter 13 Gift and Goodbye Shanna

"I remember the last time we met, Ming you couldn't even speak, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in Assyrian in just one Zog, it's amazing!" Mr. Miller praised.

Zhong Ming said without changing his face: "Ha, thanks to your shelter that night, I was not frozen into an ice cube. I was afraid that it would be difficult to find a hotel at that time. Alas, the east of our mainland uses the Perrin, it took me a lot of effort to learn Assyria."

Zhong Ming and Mr. Miller made jokes and made jokes, and after a short and polite chatter, they were ready to introduce the topic.

"This is Mr. Miller. Miss Shana's selfless help has made me remember. Although I don't want to use money to stain Miss Shana's golden heart, I still want to do my best to repay Miss Shana. .”

Zhong Ming took out a few sheepskin scrolls with the big seal of the city hall from his trouser pocket, and said with a light smile:

"This is the deed of transfer of ownership of a tailor shop, located in the east of the business district, near the Carrecle family castle.

I want to present it to 'Miss Shana', and there are also some insignificant clothing designs and raw materials backlogged in the store and give it to 'Miss Shana'.

Hope this expresses a little bit of my gratitude to Miss Shanna. "

Zhong Ming's accent on "Shana" indicates that this is specially given to Miss Shana, not to the Miller family.

Ante City belongs to one of the core cities of the County of Jerez. A store in the core business district is worth a lot. Don't think about buying it without two or three thousand dinars.

The ten mills on the edge of the business district of the miller’s family may not be equal to this shop, not to mention the batch of Zhong Ming’s design drawings that combined European late medieval and a small number of modern design styles and a large number of high-quality furs. Clothing.

This can be said to be a rare masterpiece in Mr. Miller's life.

The circulation in the Principality of Ig is mainly the nominal suzerain country, the Zak currency system of the Kurdish Kingdom, and the dinar currency system issued and minted by the Principality itself.

As a vassal territory of the Principality of Ige, the County of Jerez uses more of the dinar currency system, that is, dinar gold coins: drachma silver coins: kabo copper coins = 1:12:2400.

用蓝星公制来形容的话，1第纳尔金币重量为5g左右；1德拉克马银币重量为4.5g左右；1卡伯铜币重量为30g左右。成色都在差不多九成。

The obverse pattern of the dinar gold coin is the right bust of the founder of the Principality of Yige wearing a crown, holding an ax and spear, with water droplets on his shoulders, and cloud patterns below, and the surrounding coins are "@#￥%..." in Assyrian (Haier Grand Duke Nafisis); on the back is a picture of Poseidon riding the waves holding a trident.

The obverse pattern of the drachma silver coin is the bust of the Grand Duke wearing a crown and scepter, so the obverse pattern must be changed every once in a while. Strong Cavalry Regiment - Fexis Ice Lion Cavalry Regiment.

The kappa copper coin is very casual. The obverse pattern is usually a certain princess or queen of the grand duke, and the reverse pattern is fixed to be the family crest of the official family—swords and shields interlaced and water patterns representing the sea.

1 kappa copper coin is roughly equivalent to 5~8RMB according to the purchasing power of flour, but in fact the comprehensive purchasing power of currency should be higher.

In other words, Zhong Ming bought a store worth tens of millions of RMB in the core area of ​​Longguo's second-tier city and gave it to Ms. Shana. A large number of raw materials for the production of valuable clothing.

Although Mr. Miller didn't know the value of the clothing design and clothing materials, his eyes widened when he heard that it was near the lord's castle. God King Sock, how much wealth is this?
"Shanna, my dear daughter, come down quickly, hurry up, Mr. Ming has something good to see you!" Mr. Miller rushed out of the living room to the stairs at the door of the room, and shouted to his daughter vigorously towards the stairs.

Capers complexion moved slightly: "Mr. Ming, your handwriting is really not small."

Zhong Ming took over the words with a calm expression: "Isn't it a virtue of 'nobility' to know kindness? And these 'little' gifts are nothing to me."

There was a flash of greed in Capers' eyes, but he quickly turned into a serious look: "Yes, gratitude is the virtue of a knight, and you are a true knight."

While the "Capers" knight and the Ming knight were exchanging business ideas, Miss Shana was already not far from the living room.

This shop lived in the front and back of the shop. The front was a shop for harvesting crops and selling flour, and behind it was a three-story single-family house and some small buildings such as cellars, mangers, and chicken coops. As for the miller’s The mill is, of course, in the suburbs.Miss Shana's room is on the third floor.

"Here, here, father, I'll come down now." Miss Shana replied quickly, and the sound of "dong~dongdong" came from the stairs as soon as she finished speaking.

Shana walked down the stairs with her hands tied to the long skirt on her lower body, and quickly walked to the living room.Obviously, she was hiding and observing her suitor secretly, otherwise she wouldn't have dressed up so quickly.

Shana is wearing a light blue mid-sleeve V-neck dress with unknown red flowers embroidered on the cuffs and skirt. The hair is draped softly on her shoulders, the three-dimensional and smart face, the blue and bright eyes, the well-developed figure is uneven, the face, neck, chest and half of the jade arm are exposed, and the skin is light wheat-colored. Glitters with a healthy glow.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ming, may the gods bless you," Shana put her hands on her waist and bowed slightly to salute. Obviously she was not familiar with these etiquettes, and her movements were rather jerky, but her demeanor was graceful, she said, "Afternoon Ann, Mr. Capers, may the gods bless you."

Capers smiled at Shanna, but didn't get up.

Zhong Ming immediately got up to return the salute, put his left palm on his right chest, and stepped forward slightly to return the salute: "Beautiful lady, may the gods bless you with eternal youth."

Zhong Ming blinked at Shana slightly: "Your help is something I will remember forever."

Capers' face turned blue for a while, and Zhong Ming's actions seemed to be very rude, which hit his personality.

"I don't know if these small gifts of mine are worth the help you have given me, Miss Shana," Zhong Ming said after a pause, "but I still hope you don't refuse, these are what you deserve from your kindness." s return."

"No no, me, me."

Shanna was a little flustered and surprised after learning the value of this shop. Unexpected wealth can also bring panic in addition to surprises.

Although she was a little moved, she refused: "I just did something that everyone would do. Your previous gift has far exceeded the return I deserve."

After being persuaded by Zhong Ming's stories of "Zigong Redempting People" and "Zilu Shouniu" and a while of tugging, Shana finally accepted the gift, signed the transfer contract and pressed her fingerprints.

In fact, it is more appropriate to sign the contract after the notarization of the city hall, because Mr. Miller's family is still illiterate, so it is quite inappropriate to sign the contract unclearly, but Zhong Ming's personality and recent behavior make the Miller family Trust in him is high.

What's more, the cost of notarization by the city hall is still not cheap. If you can save it, you can save it, right?

Capers, who couldn't get in the conversation, left in a hurry after a short self-introduction.

After Zhong Ming made an appointment to see her property with Shana, he finished his snacks and hot milk, praised Mrs. Miller's cooking skills loudly, and then got up to leave.

It is a custom in the country of Jerez that guests should praise loudly after eating the snacks provided by the host, otherwise it will be regarded as dissatisfaction with the host's poor hospitality.

Seeing her daughter staring at the back of the carriage, Mrs. Miller joked: "It seems that our little rich woman Shanna has her own heart, but I just feel sorry for Capers."

"Oh, I hate it, Deborah, I'm angry," Shanna blushed, pretending to be angry, "I'm not as angry as three... five muffins! Five!"

After finishing speaking, Shana pounced on her mother, scratching her itchy spot, and Deborah raised her hand to fight back without hesitation.

The playful mother and daughter Miller gradually disappeared from Zhong Ming's sight. Zhong Ming sat in the carriage and said to Ange, "Go west."

"Ah? My lord, don't you live in the east?" Ange asked in astonishment.

Zhong Ming didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Oh, An Ge, are you afraid of seeing blood?"

Although An Ge couldn't figure out what Zhong Ming meant, he still said firmly: "Don't be afraid, how can you go to the battlefield if you are afraid of seeing blood? How can you earn a family emblem for the Wuer family if you don't go to the battlefield?"

Nobles have their own family coat of arms, also known as family crest.

"Ha, I'm so ambitious." Zhong Ming stroked Ang's short brown hair with a smile, and said, "Continue to go to places where there are few people."

After a long silence.

Zhong Ming looked around and said, "Okay, here it is, let's stop."

Anger stopped the car in response.

After a while, the sound of "step~step~step" approached An Ge's carriage.
