Lady of the Lord From the East

The heir to the Williams family was finally born, and the exciting good news spread throughout the county immediately.

The residents rejoiced. They were really happy for the count and couple they loved, and the birth of the heir was closely related to them. To put it differently, if the count has never had an heir, if something happened to him accidentally, The whole of Sardinson County does not know what kind of changes will be expected. Maybe the peaceful and stable life will be broken now? That's what they don't want to see.

And now that the Count has a son, everyone no longer has to worry that there will be no successors in Sardinson County, and they are still happy for the Countess, because in this way, her position after giving birth to an heir will be more stable. , there was nothing to threaten her countess' throne now.

Of course, the most important thing is that because of the birth of the heir, their esteemed Earl is very generous and plans to hold a grand county-wide celebration, which will be held next month, on June 1st, in the Sardinson County. Ten different locations hold grand flowing water banquets. Anyone who goes to these ten places on that day, no matter who they are, as long as they send their blessings, can sit at the banquet and enjoy the food carefully prepared by specially hired chefs. !

It is said that this is the tradition of the countess' country, that the citizens of the magical eastern kingdom will celebrate the birth of a child when he is a month old and report a grand full moon feast.

This kind of celebration method of free eating and drinking as long as you offer blessings, the people are naturally very willing to participate. Of course, they can't really go to eat and drink without giving anything, and bring gifts to the banquet. They still know this rule for the master, even if it is just an egg, it is better than empty-handed.

In the castle, Felix is ​​also personally writing to all his relatives and friends to inform them of the good news. At the same time, he has to invite all his relatives and friends, as well as the nobles and partners he knows to participate in the celebration of his son's full moon and hold a flowing water banquet in the county. On the same day, there will also be a grand full moon banquet in the castle, just as the surrounding nobles expected, this will be the first large banquet held in Sardinson County this year, and all those who are related will be invited to attend.

Of course, before the full moon feast, there was a baby shower attended by only a few of the closest relatives and friends, that is, the child's naming ceremony. Felix planned to set this time at the fourth week of the child's birth. The full moon banquet is a day or two in the morning, so that guests invited to the baptism can wait for the arrival of the full moon banquet at the castle. The baptism will naturally be Father Matthew, and Felix is ​​now writing a letter to ask his friend Ellen if he wants to Act as the child's godfather.

As his best friend, Felix felt that Alan was a good fit for his son's godfather, and they had talked about it before when Alan offered to ask Felix to be the godfather if his child was born , Reciprocal exchanges, Felix also wanted to invite him to be the godfather of the child early in the morning, and the two of them had passed a letter because of this matter before. Come to the christening of your child in Sardinson.

While Felix was busy writing letters to invite everyone he knew to the Full Moon Banquet, Wei Wei was sitting in the master bedroom while confinement and playing leisurely, oh no, take care of the children.

Europeans don't have the habit of confinement, that's because of their constitution. Even if they go to the field just after giving birth, they don't have to worry about confinement disease caused by cold and wind blowing. But Wei Wei is different. She is from the East. , even if this body is the embodiment of the game, and the physique is very good, but she will not bet on whether she will get confinement disease, she will not blame herself.

So when the baby was born, she obediently stayed on the bed, and decided to stay on the bed for at least three or four days to allow her body to recover before getting out of bed, and within two weeks, if she could not go out, she would Go out so you don't catch a cold.

Of course, considering that taking a bath and shampooing your hair is not a convenient thing during this period, in order to avoid getting cold after washing your hair for a long time, Wei Wei has to take care of not being able to wash her hair for a period of time. If you take a bath, just keep warm and not get cold , is something that can be done in about a week, and even if you don't take a bath, a proper bath is fine. Originally, you are in a weak period at this time. If you don't ensure the cleanliness of your body, it is easier to make yourself sick.

At this time, in the master bedroom, the unpleasant smell of blood mixed with the production left in the air was swept away, replaced by the faint fruity fragrance of the fruits in the fruit tray, Wei Wei was half-recumbent and half-lying. She turned her head to look at the child next to her on the bed. Most of the time, she closed her eyes and rested like a child, but an adult is as drowsy as a newborn baby, so when she is bored, she actually avoids her eyes and focuses on her mind. Those who read books, wake up occasionally, and play with the little baby who wakes up after drinking milk, and the time passes so quickly.

She will live here for about a week, and then consider whether to move to the master bedroom to continue her cultivation.

Her child hasn't been named yet, and Felix was so nervous that he refused to reveal his nickname, so now Wei Wei can only call her "babybaby". By the way, Felix is ​​too nervous.

He's a total stupid dad now.

When Wei Wei was able to walk down the ground for a while and do a postpartum gymnastics, the baby's skin was no longer so red and wrinkled, and the faded baby no longer looked like a swollen steamed bun as it was when she was born. , his facial features are slowly unfolding, the delicate beauty unique to the mixed race has begun to take shape, and Wei Wei can even vaguely judge which part of him looks like Felix and which part is very similar to herself.

Overall, this little baby has inherited Felix's handsome appearance. His facial features are very similar to Felix's, but Wei Wei's shadow can be seen in the details. It has a special charm of combining things, which can be said to be perfect. He inherited the genes of the couple, no surprise, this child will definitely be a very handsome boy in the future.

And this little baby is still very quiet, except sleeping every day, he only hums a few times when he needs it, and rarely cries, but this is only when he does not leave Wei Wei's side. If someone wants to take him away, then It won't take long for the baby to start crying. The voice is loud and lasts for a long time. It's useless for anyone to coax him. He has to send him back to Wei Wei. Although he can't see anyone yet, the baby still instinctively relies on sounds and smells to tell the difference. She knows who her mother is, and is very unwilling to be separated from her.

This also led to the fact that the baby refused to drink any one's milk except for Wei Wei's feeding. Instead, following the habit of noble ladies not feeding their children by themselves, it was useless to ask a nurse to come back after the child was born. Some rewards sent them back.

Fortunately, with the help of various milk-inducing foods, Wei Wei's milk is very sufficient, and the baby's food intake is also very ordinary, but there will be no shortage of food.

And this non-noisy, very easy-to-care baby has also become the favorite little angel of the Williams family. Anyone who is qualified to see him will find an excuse to go to the delivery room to see him every day, even if only in the It’s good to look at it with a greedy eye, and there are only the housekeepers and a group of maids besides the Williams family who have this opportunity. The male servants can’t enter the hostess’s bedroom at this time, so most people People can basically only listen to the maids discussing how cute and beautiful their young master is every day, but unfortunately they can't see anyone at all, because the child is too young and can't be separated from his mother, he has never left the master bedroom.

After resting in the master bedroom for a week, Wei Wei decided to continue living until the end of the confinement period, not that she was not recovering well, but that Wei Wei, who could not wash her hair even though she could take a bath to clean herself up, still felt that her body had started There was a strange smell, and she didn't want to go back to live with Felix at this time. Even if Felix wouldn't dislike the smell on her body, she herself couldn't bear it.

So if the confinement is not finished, Felix can only endure the loneliness of being alone in the empty room, which makes him unable to help looking at Wei Wei with more and more sad eyes every day when he visits his wife and children, The person was stone-hearted, cold-blooded and ruthless ignored, completely unmoved.

Fortunately, the situation where they slept in separate rooms finally ended after the third week. Wei Wei, who had been in confinement for 20 days, finally couldn't stand her dirty hair. She took advantage of a sunny, sunny and windless afternoon. , let the maids prepare hot water for her, and clean herself thoroughly and comfortably, while the wet hair was wiped off by the maids with a dry towel made of pure cotton, leaving no moisture.

After that, Wei Wei, who cleaned herself, moved back from the female master bedroom to the male master bedroom, and Felix, who had regained the qualification to sleep with his wife, finally stopped showing her husband's face.

There have also been some changes in the male master bedroom, which has not been inhabited by a hostess for three weeks. The fragile and fragile furnishings have been taken away, the furniture such as tables, cabinets and other furniture have been wrapped with thick blankets, and more wool carpets have been laid on the floor. A layer is added to make it thicker and softer. Although the child is still very young, they have begun to prevent accidents that will occur when the baby can move on his own.

However, the biggest change is that not far from the side of the bed where Wei Wei is used to sleeping, there is an exquisite cradle bed. On the cotton quilt, there were a lot of cleaned and sterilized dolls on the side, some of which Wei Wei had seen from Caroline, and some new dolls that Wei Wei had never seen before. Judging from the needlework, they should have been made by Dolores herself.

The little baby was put into his crib by Wei Wei and left his mother's arms. The unfamiliar environment made him uneasy. His cute and delicate little face wanted to cry or not, and he could only see vague things. His blue eyes instinctively looked at his mother, and a pair of small hands stretched out towards her, babbling as if to tell her to hold him.

Wei Wei bent over, stretched out a hand and let the baby grab her finger, while pushing the cradle, the cradle shook slightly, holding the mother's fingers in the palm of her hand, the baby felt a sense of security, that slight shaking feeling Attracting his attention, following the slight shaking, he soon giggled, and the baby's deliberate laughter echoed in the room, warming the whole room.

Felix stood beside Wei Wei, put his arms around her waist and teased their children with her. They used to do things like this before, but they just changed places today.

While teasing the children, they talk about recent events.

Almost from Wei Wei's eighth month of pregnancy to the present, Felix took care of all the affairs in the county during this time, and the affairs in the castle were mainly handed over to Butler Barton, Qin and others. Try not to pass things on to her, so that she can be in labor quietly without worrying about anything.

But in this way, Wei Wei is inevitably a little out of touch with the outside world, which makes her uncomfortable, so now that she feels that her body is almost self-cultivation, she naturally starts to ask about those things.

In the past few months, there have really been several more important things, and Felix has told her one by one.

The first is the matter of Kingsley and Beerus taking people to suppress the bandits. They caught those bandits early in the morning. After interrogation and investigation, they determined the identities of these people as mercenaries, but they did not admit that they were hired by others. It's just that they decided to change their careers to become robbers because they couldn't get along, and these people have a black history in this regard. Even when they were hired before, they killed the businessman who hired them and embezzled all the financial affairs. Although that incident was because the dead businessman was just an ordinary civilian, he didn't have a big background, and naturally no one would take grievances for him. Instead, this group of robbers had some background, so the murder and robbery matter finally came to an end.

But they did this kind of thing. Although they were not judged, their reputation was stinky. The mercenaries who traveled with them felt that they had lowered the credibility of the mercenaries, making them unable to receive good tasks for a long time, so Team up to oppose them and talk about what they have done, and well-informed businessmen can know their past sins just by inquiring a little. Naturally, they dare not hire such people to protect their caravans, so this group of mercenaries Mixing in the industry is getting worse and worse, and finally had to change careers and become a real robber.

Of course, it's their own words, and Kingsley and Beerus agree that much of it is true, but they're hiding something.

"If they really changed their careers to be robbers, they couldn't just stare at the caravans in Sardinson County!"

You must know that the road occupied by this group of robbers is the main route from Sardinson to the capital, and the merchants on this road cannot only go to Sardinson and other counties adjacent to Sardinson, because Sardinson also They have developed one after another, attracting a lot of foreign businessmen, but if the caravans going to these places have never had an accident, only those going to Sardinson will be robbed, which is aimed at them no matter what.

Moreover, the robbers can only rob the caravan from Sardinson with such a clear goal. Obviously, they can do so accurately only after they have received a message from others. They don’t say who the person who tipped off the message, but there is nothing else in it. things they absolutely do not believe.

Afterwards, Beerus showed his increasingly sophisticated interrogation methods, and after being reminded by the little black house, this knight who was good at torture has been obsessed with developing various new interrogation methods recently, and even specially asked Wei Wei for her. What kind of interesting punishments are there in the country where I am located, and I am satisfied with a lot of Chinese tortures that sound scary, and said that I should study them when I go back.

According to the private discussions of the knights who are close to him, they all feel that this guy seems to be going crazy, and he will show a nervous smile at every turn, and he looks more and more terrifying.

And now, a large group of robbers are his best experimental subjects.

After driving several robbers crazy, they got the news they wanted. This group of people really fell into robbers, but after they became robbers, someone specially hired them to rob Sardinson, and Ask them not to kill people as much as possible, because the other party wants the news to spread as much as possible, so they only arrest people and sell them into slaves instead of killing everyone.

After the news came out, those who were fortunate enough to watch Beerus' interrogation now shivered reflexively when they saw him. Beerus, who had scared everyone, looked at the remaining robbers with regret, and said that they could actually do it again. Continue to interrogate, maybe you can get more information.

In this regard, the robbers who were watching him have long since lost sight of the resistance and non-cooperation when they were caught. They were like chickens targeted by eagles, huddled together and shivered.

The frightened group of robbers almost swears that they have said everything they know, and there really is no other secret.

It's a pity that it wasn't so smooth this time, because the robbers actually didn't know who hired them to rob them. During the process of the transaction, the other party always hid himself under a black cloak, even wearing a mask on his face, talking. At times, he can lower his voice so that they don't know his real voice. It can be said that the disguise is very thoughtful. The only thing the robbers know is that the other party is a decent person, but it should not be a nobleman, more like a nobleman's housekeeper or servant or something. .

And they have never seen each other except for the first transaction. Every time the robbers are instructed to get the news that they don't know who put it there, and then go to the place to rob, and the place to put the news is different every time. They searched according to the marks left by each other.

And this mark is said to be a red strip of cloth tied to a tree. Every time it appears suddenly and silently at night, the time is not regular. They only know that they will search around after seeing the strip of cloth. One click and you'll find clues to the next robbery target.

Originally, Kingsley had the intention to send someone to hide in the forest to see if someone would secretly deliver the news, but he didn't know how the news of the robbers' arrest was revealed. Anyway, they never saw the red cloth head the robber said. , it should have stopped all actions after finding something wrong.

The things that the robbers stole back belonged to them. Most of these valuable things were written off by their own channels, and a small part was kept. Together with the money they wrote off and returned, they were hidden in their temporary In the cave where they were hiding, they were collected when they were slaying the bandits. However, because these bandits would go to taverns and other places to spend a lot after each robbery, the money they recovered was less than the losses reported by the merchants. many.

These things were transported back to Sardinson together with the robbers. Felix had people posted a notice. Those who were robbed could understand part of the loss, although not all, but for the merchants who were robbed and were lucky enough to escape, After all, it can be regarded as a certain compensation. They thought that all these things would never come back.

And that group of robbers, under Beerus' interrogation, not only confessed their recent robbery, but also told the crimes they committed in their early years. After I heard that they had slaughtered a village and stole all the things and After the woman, Felix, who had planned to send this group of people to work as coolies, made a decisive decision, pushed them all to the gallows, and executed them in public.

Such scum is a waste of food.

"It hasn't been found out who is looking for trouble for us, but since he can move his hand once, he may act again in the future. As long as we pay more attention, we will be able to catch the fox's tail sooner or later."

In addition to the bandit incident, the second major incident related to Sardinson, or should be said to be related to Slaughter - their men, from the border west of Prady, brought back a group of foreign serfs, and now these Everyone was placed on Sloot's side.

As I said before, several countries west of Prady have been fighting. One of them was annexed by other countries. The citizens of their country could not live there. At the same time, in order to avoid being captured by nobles on the battlefield and becoming slaves. Dangerous, they all fled to other countries, and some of them ran to Prady, but the border nobles over there did not allow these people to enter the territory, as long as they entered, they would be caught, but the slaves were even executed, but because Prady was One of the larger countries in the surrounding area has been very strong in recent years, so this group of people gathered on the border, and people from other countries did not dare to send people to arrest them, so as not to cause a misunderstanding by Prady and lead to new cases. The war, instead, became an umbrella for the refugees, so they stayed on the border and refused to leave.

At the beginning, there were only a small number of people. The border nobles over there turned a blind eye as long as they did not enter the territory, but later their number increased. At this time, even if the nobles wanted to drive people away If they can't get out, it's about to become a problem. Even the king is a little bit worried that if so many people get together, will it cause a riot. At this time, Felix happened to go to the capital, so he went with the flow and asked him to recruit leaders. people.

At that time, Felix sent Kingsley. Kingsley's eloquence is good, and he does things safely. It is not the first time to do this kind of thing. It can be said that he is familiar with it, but these foreign refugees do not know the reputation of Sardinson. It was only after a long period of turmoil that they were almost caught as slaves. They had a natural resistance to nobles and knights, so no one accepted his recruitment. He went away, only as if he had sold himself into a slave.
