Chapter 51 Goose Girl
In the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame, knight squires and knight retinues are never the same.

Knight retainers are subordinates of the lord, essentially a type of servant. They need to fight for the knight lord and also provide food, clothing and daily life for the lord on the battlefield.

Help the knight maintain the equipment, help the knight put on and take off the armor, help the knight carry items, help the knight make a fire to cook, and keep vigil for the knight at night. Of course, the reward for doing this is that all the expenses of the retinue will be provided by the knight.

Three meals a day, training resources, and future weddings and funerals, all expenses will be signed by the knight.

But the knight squire was different.

A squire is more like an apprentice, following a regular knight to practice fighting spirit, learn to fight, and even learn how to manage the territory.

So usually the attendants are the children of nobles.

Nobles sent their children to another noble family to serve as attendants and learn how to become a qualified knight.

of course.

Those who are willing to send their children to be knights' attendants are usually small nobles, such as lord knights like Rosen.

As for the great nobles, earls, barons, etc., they would hire tutors to teach their children - Russell had previously followed the great knight Eric hired by the baron. He studied at home in the castle and had never been a knight's attendant in other people's homes.

"Russell, what are you doing? It's time to give a gift to grandma!" Rowling shouted from the sofa.

When Russell walked over, she stared at him maliciously and said, "You won't give me another pot of flowers this year as a perfunctory thing, will you?"

Mrs. Ingrid joked jokingly: "I only give you one pot of flowers every year. You little will-o'-the-wisps have all forgotten that you are from the mushroom family and have to imitate other people's flower families... I just want to give my grandmother a pot of flowers." Mushrooms are pretty good too.”

The fluorescent mushroom is a kind of mushroom, and the agaricus is a kind of flower.

Mrs. Meryl smiled lightly: "Mushrooms are delicious, flowers are beautiful, and mother, you are not short of mushrooms to eat. Send some flowers to decorate the courtyard, and you can see the sea of ​​colorful flowers every day. Wouldn't it make you feel better?"

Mrs. Ingrid shook her shoulders and laughed: "Flowers are like those flashy and exaggerated words. Maybe I have passed the age where I like to listen to lies."

"Lies are not true, but flowers can be seen and heard."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed happily.

Rowling was a little impatient and interrupted: "Grandma, mother, please accept the gift first... As the eldest granddaughter of my grandmother, Cooper and I have prepared a birthday gift for you this year. I believe you will like it!"

Her personal maid brought a very gorgeous women's hat, mainly black in color, with a brim comparable to a straw hat.

But on the top of the hat, there is a circle of colorful feathers stuck on. The feathers are sparkling and very eye-catching.

"Wow, look, look at what gift my beloved Rowling has given me!" Mrs. Ingrid liked the top hat at first sight.

Rowling said with a smile: "The feathers on this top hat are made from the tail feathers of the colorful sparrow. It can change colors when exposed to the sun. Grandma, please try it on quickly... It will make you look younger instantly." Ten years old!"

Immediately afterwards, the eldest brother Roland presented a gemstone bracelet.

It looked very ordinary, but what Roland said next made it shine: "This is a gift I specially asked for from Princess Anxia. Princess Anxia also asked me to send birthday wishes to my grandmother, and wish you good health. longevity."

"The dragon is watching!" Mrs. Ingrid took the gemstone bracelet with both hands, her voice suddenly choked with sobs, "Princess Anxia, ​​do you still remember me, this old woman!"

Princess Anxia is now the mother of the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, and her status is unparalleled.

"Of course Princess Anxia remembers you." Roland said, "She also said that when you are free, you can go to the Red Fort to see it. She said that you have not been to the Red Fort for many years. Many ladies there miss you. Woolen cloth!"

Old Lady Ingrid sighed with a trembling voice: "Yes, I haven't been to the Red Castle for many years. Ever since your grandfather followed the late Grand Duke, I have been living in confusion in the Gloomy Light Valley."

"Mother, what did you say? Although my father is gone, you still have us, Rosen, Luo Bi, and juniors like Roland and Royal to accompany you." Baron Roman hurriedly comforted you.

With that said, he turned to look at Laura again.

Laura immediately rushed forward: "Grandma, Laura also has a gift for you! This is the scarf that Laura knitted for you by herself. You can wear it and try it on!"

Following Laura's interruption, Mrs. Ingrid stopped thinking about her late husband and happily put away the gifts. Rowling looked at Russell, who had not taken the initiative to give gifts, and reminded her loudly again: "Russell, what are you waiting for? Don't try to use a pot of flowers to deal with it!"

She lost the duel, which made her resentful, and she just wanted to squeeze Russell.

Make Russell look bad.

Russell smiled calmly, walked up to the old lady, and took out the gift he had prepared: "Grandma, I have already held an adult ceremony and divided my territory. I am no longer a child. So I have carefully prepared a gift for you this year. .”

Two single photos lie in the palm of my hand.

The lenses made of white crystal are set on a slender and delicate metal frame. One side can be placed on the ear and the other side can be placed on the bridge of the nose.

There is also a thin chain for hanging.

"What is this?" Mrs. Ingrid didn't know why. Not only she, but everyone here didn't recognize the single reading glasses.

"Two round mirrors, what are they, Russell?" Rowling raised her eyebrows, "Is it gemstone jewelry or something? This shape is too weird!"

"These are called reading glasses." Russell explained casually.

Then he said to the old lady: "Grandma, please try on this pair of low-power reading glasses first, just like me."

He gave a demonstration and asked for a book.

Old Mrs. Ingrid was a little confused, but she still put on her single-lens reading glasses under Russell's guidance, and then started to look through the books handed by Russell.

This look.

Then he exclaimed: "Oh dragon! It's so magical!"

She raised her head in surprise and looked at everyone: "The words on the book have become clearer. It has been several years. I couldn't see the words on the letter clearly. I need a servant to read them out! Now I can see clearly by myself. It's amazing. !”

"It's just magical. Grandma, you can try this pair of single-lens reading glasses to see which pair suits you better."

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Ingrid was overjoyed and couldn't put down the single-lens reading glasses sent by Russell.

After testing, the one with a lower prescription is more suitable, while the one with a higher prescription will make you feel clearer when you wear it, but it will make you feel a little dizzy.

"When I save enough money later, I will give you a few more single photos with different degrees, and then find the one that suits you best." Russell smiled.

"Dragon Gaze, you are really my good grandson. Russell Little Will-o'-the-Wisp, the best gift my grandmother received this year is this one...what is it called?"

"Reading glasses."

"Yes, these are the reading glasses!" Mrs. Ingrid couldn't help but be happy.

Rowling was a little unconvinced: "Grandma, please give me a pair of reading glasses. Are they really so magical?"

The single-lens reading glasses were quickly passed around and everyone tried them on.

But except for old Mrs. Ingrid, no one suffers from presbyopia, and naturally they cannot notice the magic of reading glasses.

But I was a little surprised that reading glasses can magnify things.

"Carter, come here." Seeing that everyone was ignorant, Mrs. Ingrid immediately called the old housekeeper Carter and handed Carter a pair of high-prescription single-lens reading glasses. "Don't you see things blurry too? Come on, Try the invention of a little will-o’-wisp.”

After Carter put it on, he looked at the book and suddenly exclaimed the same as Mrs. Ingrid: "The dragon is watching, it's amazing!"

"It's amazing, this is Russell's filial piety, and it's also good news for our elderly people." Mrs. Ingrid said happily, "The dragon is watching, and the light is blessing me. I want to write a letter to the scholars in the Red Castle, Russell You can definitely be selected as a scholar with the help of reading glasses!”
