Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 11 The Seven Virtues Margaret

April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, overcast.

Rhodes was eating sliced ​​bread spread with peanut butter, holding today's "Old London Morning News" in his hand.

Reading newspapers is a habit he developed after he came to this world.

The relative occlusion of information has led to the fact that he can only learn about news about this country named Ingeville by reading newspapers.

"A group of protesters sat in the street in front of the Palace of Westminster, protesting against the old London Bureau of Steam Machinery hollowing out the ground of their house in order to lay the big boiler that burned day and night with steam"

"The past royal family, the princess of the Golden Lion family, Margaret achieved excellent results in Imperial College and won this year's outstanding student bonus. At today's coming-of-age ceremony, as a student representative, she presented a speech titled "I Have a Speech from "Dream"

"A steam car overturned broke the fence on the side of the road and finally fell under the plane tree. The sheriffs found the suspected owner according to the license plate number. John, the investigator of the Old London Authority, was fined 1000 Krona, net of all bonus performance for the year."

Putting down the newspaper, Rhodes stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth, drank the milk, and got up to clean up.

"Adams, age: 76 years old, address: 19 Champs Elysees, time: to go on April 4, note: traumatic pneumonia, just chat with him, the last dream of this stubborn old man is to look at his own Granddaughter gets married, if possible, brat, you can try to help him realize his dream, as the head of the Golden Lion family, his wealth is roughly estimated to be nearly 2 million crowns."

Rhodes shook his hand and put away the personnel list.

He looked down at the stained shirt on his body, frowned, and walked upstairs.

After a while, Rhodes, who changed into a brand new black coat with a white shirt and red tie inside, walked downstairs.

Today, he is dressed a little maturely. In front of the full-length mirror, he stroked the slightly long black hair that was drooping to the back of his head, and his aura was completely highlighted.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the key is that this person is an old friend of grandpa, so he has to make a good impression on others.

Picking up the medicine box, Rhodes went out.

19 Champs Elysees, in front of the manor.

Looking at the more than ten acres of white birch forest in the manor and the spacious walkway in front of the manor, Rhodes subconsciously adjusted his tie.

"Sir, please come with me."

"Ah."

At the invitation of the guards, Rhodes stepped into the carriage.

The carriage drove slowly in the manor, and Rhodes took out the small mirror lining the lining to check his hairstyle to make sure that it was not messed up.

When you meet for the first time, you need to make a good impression.

The carriage stopped in front of the villa.

Rhodes got out of the car and saw a beautiful figure as far as he could see.

The girl in tight breeches and tunic was practicing swordplay alone with a rapier in her hand.

"Sir, please come with me, this way, the master is waiting for you in the living room." An elderly housekeeper greeted him.

"Ah."

Rhodes nodded, carrying the medicine box and following the butler into the villa.

On the lawn, Margaret put down her rapier, took a towel from the maid, and wiped the sweat from her neck.

"Is that person the grandson of the person who saved grandpa?"

"Yes, miss." The guard who brought Rhodes to the front of the villa just now responded in a low voice.

"Well, help me put the prepared gift on the carriage, and tell him when he leaves, be sure to send it out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Although Grandpa didn't say anything, Margaret still took this matter very seriously.

If it wasn't for the one who saved grandpa, there would be no Golden Lion family that is still alive today.

Grace is as heavy as a mountain.

As the grandson of her grandfather's savior, Margaret will naturally give a high-standard gift.

People in the Golden Lion family have always repaid kindness and revenge.

In the meeting room.

Adams looked at Rhodes, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, with admiration in his eyes.

As expected of Robert's grandson.

In terms of appearance, he completely inherited Robert's advantages, only a little worse than himself.

I just don't know if his personality is the same as Robert's.

Thinking of Robert's out-of-the-ordinary character, Adams hesitated again.

His granddaughter is the princess of the Golden Lion family. As Margaret, who was recognized by the archbishop as inheriting the title of Seven Virtues, she was raised by him as an heir since she was a child.

"Rod, what do you think of Margaret?" Adams asked solemnly.

Rhodes put down his teacup, and Margaret, whom he had just seen at the door in the morning exercise, came to his mind.

She is tenacious without losing the demeanor of a lady, and she has a sense of self-confidence of self-improvement.

"She is an excellent girl, she has very excellent qualities." Rhodes responded with a smile.

"Specifically, you can talk about it." Adams nodded.

"I read a report about her in the newspaper, and her "I Have a Dream" is very inspirational." Rhodes still kept smiling, and at the same time he took some excerpts he saw in the newspaper from "I Have a Dream". The fragments in "Dream" are narrated after adding my own understanding.

The overall meaning is that Rhodes agrees with Margaret's dream very much, and at the same time criticizes that the old London government has problems with the placement of veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and they need to improve.

Perhaps thinking of the group of veterans in the slaughterhouse, Rhodes combined some knowledge from his previous life, and the more he talked, the more in-depth he became, and the more excited he was, he almost pointed at the speaker's nose and scolded him.

Adams had a satisfied smile on his face.

As long as you scold the speaker, you are his good friend Adams.

Oh, wait, it seems that this fine young man can no longer be a good friend, but only a granddaughter's husband.

"Rhode, I appreciate you very much. If possible, my granddaughter." Adams held Rhode's hand. Before he could finish speaking, the door of the living room was suddenly opened.

"Oh, my dear friend, Rhodes, I'm so glad you can come to my house to find me." Yorkshire, with a thick layer of gauze tied on his leg, limped in from the door, holding a cane , with a deep smile on his face.

Adams glared at his grandson angrily.

Facing the disgusting eyes of his grandfather, Yorkshire still had a smile on his face.

Rhode looked at Yorkshire who entered the door in surprise, but he didn't expect that the oily young man last night was Adams' grandson.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you."

A crisp voice came from behind Yorkshire.

Just after taking a shower, Margaret, who put on a simple beige floral dress, walked into the living room from Yorkshire like a breeze.

"Oh, my lovely granddaughter, come to Grandpa. Grandpa will introduce you to an outstanding young man." Adams' face changed rapidly after seeing the lively Margaret, and it turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant. He took a picture He patted the position next to Rhodes and said.

Margaret sat on the other side of Adams, with an innocent smile unique to girls on her face. She rolled up her long hair around her ears, looked at Rhodes, and said softly:

"Hi, I'm Margaret, nice to meet you."
