Lady of the Lord From the East

On the day after the wedding, it was rare for the servants of Earl Williams to not see the Countess and the newly appointed Countess, who always got up early in the morning.

Even until noon, no one saw them come out of the room.

As a maid, Penny wondered if she needed to knock on the door to remind her two masters that they had missed lunch.

She told Qin: "I think if I knock on the door now, the Count and Madam will probably ignore me, and even the Count may be very angry."

Qin nodded: "It's not possible, it's definitely."

Don't look at their Count's temperament, it's really scary to get angry.

Penny was very anxious: "But if they don't knock on the door, they'll really miss lunch."

Remind the masters to get up to eat, but it is their duty as a maid.

Penny was torn between negligence.

Qin was much calmer, so she said, "It doesn't matter if you miss it, the kitchen will always prepare it, to ensure that when adults and madams get up, there will be hot food to eat."

It seems to be the case, Penny: "There is also hot water, and this should also be prepared. I think Madam will definitely need it when she gets up."

Don't look at her as a young girl, but she knows about the kind of things between men and women, and she has even watched the process directly. The openness of Europeans is not a joke. The lovers who stole joy, and the men and women who quietly left in the middle of the banquet, who knows where they are going and what they are doing.

Qin agreed: "Yes, the kitchen will also prepare enough hot water for bathing, for two people."

Although my self-knowledge is only a common love of cleanliness, Wei Wei's love of cleanliness is considered a cleanliness in the eyes of the maids. Affected by her, the people of Sardinsonburg began to pay attention to hygiene, especially their Count. most affected.

So it is very necessary to prepare hot water the day after the wedding night.

They discussed everything they needed to prepare before the masters got up, and the tacit decision not to knock on the door was annoying.

And one of the parties in the conversation opened his eyes in the dim room at this time.

The room covered by the heavy curtains was severely lacking in light. Wei Wei opened her eyes in a daze, her consciousness was not awake for a moment, as if she was still in a dream. There was no response to the heat from the broad chest that was attached to it.

When her consciousness began to wake up, she was not frightened by it. The amazing memory came into play again at this moment. Before the fright struck, she already remembered what it was like now.

She got married just yesterday, and now sleeping beside her is her husband.

This cognition floated through her mind, and Wei Wei relaxed.

And they experienced a long and exciting night last night. The sequelae of over-exercise still lingered in her body, which made her back pain and weakness in her limbs. By the way, there was an indescribable place that was burning and uncomfortable.

Thinking of what happened last night, Wei Wei's face, who had just relaxed, was hot, and her memory was too good.

Physical and mental exhaustion made her hesitant to get up, but her empty stomach was telling her master that it needed food.

If you don't eat it, you'll probably have to protest drumming.

"Wake up?" The man who was hugging her behind him didn't know how long he had been awake. After sensing that his new wife seemed to be awake, he propped up his upper body, leaned in from behind, lifted the broken hair on her forehead, and branded a The kiss, lifted again, changed positions, and kissed her lips.

Wei Wei's face was already red because she remembered what happened last night, and she was even more red after being stimulated like this. Fortunately, the light in the room was dim, and Felix was sure that Felix couldn't see his embarrassment at this time. Wei Wei pretended to be calm and changed her posture, and asked, "What time is it?"

The hoarse words came out, and she felt a thirst in her throat.

Wei Wei usually wants to drink water when she wakes up, but today her thirst for sleep is even more intense.

Completely a sequelae of overuse of the voice.

I don't know if it was because he knew that Wei Wei had the habit of waking up with a glass of water, or if he could hear the strangeness in her voice, Felix leaned forward again, his body almost pressed against Wei Wei, his slender arms stretched out to hold it. Kettle on the bedside table, to a glass of water.

Only then did Wei Wei realize that this was originally the master's bedroom, and this was prepared by the bedside that had been set up as a wedding room these days.

On a second look, there seem to be a few plates of pastries and fruit on the table in the room that can sit for a long time.

"It should be noon." He answered Wei Wei's question, and took the water cup over: "It's a little cold, do you want to drink?"

The kettle is inherently special, and the outer layer is also wrapped with a blanket, which has a certain thermal insulation effect, but it is not so good that the water inside is still hot after a night, but it will not be as cold as this season after being poured out.

Wei Wei knew this, of course. She used to put a kettle like this in her room every night to prevent her from thirsty in the middle of the night, so she knew very well that the temperature of the water after a night was not suitable for the entrance.

In the morning, a maid would bring boiling water to boil, and she would mix cold water with hot water before drinking it, but now, she felt that she couldn't wait.

And in this state, she doesn't want to be seen by other people, not even the personal maid who often massages her.

Lying on the pillow, she nodded and raised her hand to get the water glass.

But instead of handing her the glass, Felix drank some himself, lowered his head, and fed it directly into her mouth.

A small amount of water passed over from her close lips, her thirst and lying position made her swallow instinctively, and after a while, she drank it all.

"This way it won't be too cold." The handsome man smiled, with a little smugness and a sense of color, and his somewhat hoarse voice revealed some kind of foreshadowing.

From last night's experience, Wei Wei, who had already determined that her new husband had a male dog's waist, gave her a full look at her. She didn't care about being shy or tired. The quilt got up from the bed and picked up the clean clothes prepared in advance.

As she was about to put it on, she remembered that there was no such thing as a screen in the bedroom, and there was a faceless guy watching on the bed, so she simply turned around, trying not to look at the other party's naked body and blatantly showing off. He threw his clothes: "Get up, we have to go downstairs for dinner."

Felix, who was disgraced by his clothes, took off the clothes and then threw the quilt over, and after he took off the quilt, there was also the bed curtain that was lowered.

When he got off the bed, Wei Wei quickly put on his underwear, and was wearing a cashmere sweater, leaving Felix with a taller back, slender waist, and slender and straight legs.

Of course, the most striking thing is the traces above.

He left it all, Felix thought proudly.

It's a pity that it didn't take long to appreciate it, and it was covered by the owner.

Well, there's still a chance later. Felix comforted himself, and started getting dressed too.

Men's clothes are more convenient than women's. When Wei Wei put on her outer skirt and went to open the curtains to comb her hair, Felix was also neatly dressed.

The curtains were drawn, and it was still a sunny day today. The sunlight poured in from the window and enveloped the black-haired young woman warmly, making her look like an angel blessed by God.

Wei Wei sat in front of the dresser, forcibly ignoring the discomfort, and picked up the comb to brush her hair.

Felix took the gilded comb from her hand: "I'll do it."

Wei Wei's black hair is long, straight, and very thick. The volume of hair is almost twice that of ordinary people. Because it always needs to be coiled up, when she puts it down, her hair will appear as if it has been permed. Big waves, more charming than usual.

It was the first time Felix saw her like this. Usually, Wei Wei wouldn't go out if she didn't take care of herself, let alone let him in. Even she would want to give her fiancé a sloppy impression.

"I like the way you are now." Felix said in a complimenting tone, brushing her hair very lightly: "It feels like your dress, I'm so glad that only I can see you now It's like, only I can touch it."

Wei Wei: "...Where did you put the maid?"

Felix: "...maids don't count." Why was he suddenly jealous of them.

Of course Felix didn't know how to comb her hair, so he took the comb to help her through it, and then Wei Wei had to do it herself.

Wei Wei skillfully braided the braid before putting it on, Felix watched the whole process, and by the way helped her choose the right hair accessories.

The door of the room that had been closed for a day finally opened, and they had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, but the maids who did not dare to eavesdrop on the door heard the sound of the door and immediately picked up the things they had put aside and stepped forward.

"Good afternoon, my lord the earl, ma'am."

Qin and Penny, who were headed by them, saluted with the other maids. Wei Wei, who was hugged by Felix, felt a little uncomfortable, but after seeing everyone's calm expressions, they gradually calmed down.

The maids filed in with things, pouring water, tidying up the room, and when the masters washed their faces, they also asked them whether they would dine in the room or go to the restaurant downstairs.

"Let's go to the restaurant."

It was very late when they woke up. Dolores had already eaten lunch and went to class. At this time, only the husband and wife were eating. The servants who served were silently watching, and they were glad that their masters got along better. It's intimate. After watching the Count spread jam on the bread slices for the lady and then bring it to her mouth, the lady also smiled and ate the slices of bread, and in turn handed a piece to the Count.

They look so sweet, and oh, the fragrance of this love, what an enviable pair.

In fact, Wei Wei, who was watched by everyone, didn't feel sweet at all. Although she didn't hate this kind of intimacy, the eyes of the people around her were so weird that her scalp was going numb.

After a meal that was indescribable, Wei Wei really asked for a bath as Qin and Penny wanted. Although Felix had some thoughts of wanting to take a bath together, it was a pity that their bathtub could not hold two people. Naturally, Wei Wei was ruthlessly rejected.

This time, she didn't ask the maid to help her, she didn't do skin care after washing, and there were still traces left on her body from last night. Strawberry, she doesn't want to be seen by others.

When she came out of the bathroom, Felix on the other side also took a shower. He waited outside the bathroom, and when he saw his wife, he naturally stepped forward and took her hand.

"Honey, do you want to go for a walk, or have a cup of tea and read a book on the balcony?"

On the first day of the wedding, Felix didn't want to waste time on work and banquets, and even for the rest of the time, he just wanted to be with Wei Wei. Unfortunately, the invitation had already been accepted. Before returning to Sardinson, they still Have to attend several banquets.

Wei Wei chose the latter of the two options.

The servants took the first step. They prepared everything and went back to the new house. The wide open balcony blew in the winter wind, which blew away the warmth of the room, and also blew away the blushing new peaches. Mark of.

A small round table was placed on the balcony. On the table was the rose tea that had just been brewed. Next to it were two saucers of biscuits made into various flavors, which were just right for tea. Several soft cushions ensure that the owner will not have any uncomfortable places to sit on.

Of course, there is only one chair, a double bench that has been moved from elsewhere, so that the newlyweds can sit and read together.

Wei Wei is naturally looking at her ever-changing encyclopedia, and Felix, in his hand, is holding the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that Wei Wei copied and sent to him.

She found the translated version of this book. The content is not only straightforward and popular, but also the closest to the original text among all the translated versions. The original text of Sun Tzu's Art of War is only 6,075 words. The number of words in the translated version has increased several times, but it is only tens of thousands of words It’s just that it doesn’t take much time to read the whole book, but every time you read it, you can get new insights. Felix read it when he got time. He found that the knowledge he learned from the book can not only be used in In terms of military use, it can also be used in many other places, such as business and interpersonal communication. It is also because of the revelation of this book that he is like a duck to water in the capital. If he changes from the previous one, even if he has the current wealth as a backing, he will It is also impossible to gain a firm foothold in the upper-class aristocracy so quickly.

Don't look at the nobles' greed for power and interests, but they are also very xenophobic. If Felix has no wealth and does not have the ability to impress them, in the eyes of other nobles, he is likely to be marked as "empty force" "No-brainer nouveau riche" mark, even looked down on him because of his status as a border noble, even if he had been living in the royal capital before.

But because of Wei Wei and the book she gave, Felix is ​​now a young talent who is favored by various schools, has an education and ability, is smooth and can be a person, and is very aristocratic.

Therefore, this "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is Felix's treasure. No one is allowed to touch it except him. Every time he reads it, he is very careful. It was similar to when Wei Wei sent him.

But today Felix didn't have the heart to read books at all. His attention was all on Wei Wei. From time to time, he would pull her little hand and kiss her hair. Wei Wei was so disturbed that he couldn't concentrate on reading at all.

In the end, Wei Wei had no choice but to say to Felix, "I'll read it to you."

He had to find something to divert his attention, otherwise Wei Wei was worried that they would have to lie back again soon.

"Okay, you read."

Felix is ​​actually not interested. He can't understand the square characters in Wei Wei's book, but he also knows that Wei Wei has been reading all kinds of books related to herbal medicine recently, but he wants to hear Wei Wei read to him. His fascinated voice.

Knowing that he was not interested in medical herbs, Wei Wei didn't plan to embarrass each other. She got up and left with the book for a while. After a while, she pretended to change the book and walked back and sat down again.

[I read Chinese history and found many loopholes, and felt that the success and failure of a twenty-four histories and the judgments of the officials were completely opposite; I was very surprised. I thought that people who succeeded in ancient times must have a special secret, which is outside the history, ministers, sages and sages. I wanted to find the secret of it, but I couldn't get it. Later, I accidentally speculated on the characters of the Three Kingdoms period, and I suddenly realized that the secret of the ancients' success was just thick-faced and dark-hearted. 】

Wei Wei read "Hou Hei Xue" to Felix. Of course, it was not the original classical Chinese version, but one of the many versions circulated in later generations. At the same time, she also removed many future information that was inconvenient to disclose.

Felix was absent-minded at first, but soon his mind was drawn in by what Wei Wei was reading. He put his arms around her and let her snuggle in his arms, the blanket between his knees, the afternoon sun The warmth sprinkled on them, and from the balcony you could see the garden where the winter snow melted below, but none of these attracted him. His thoughts were all in the words Wei Wei read, and he realized that there was endless flow in these words. but he couldn't understand many meanings, so he could only ask questions from time to time.

There is a lot of Chinese history involved in Hou Hei School. Even if she has an encyclopedia in her hand, Wei Wei is very troublesome to explain, but she is patient.

So this afternoon, they didn't even read the first chapter of "Hou Hei Xue", and spent it all in Wei Wei's various historical explanations.

However, both of them felt that this activity could continue in the future, and Felix even planned to write down what Wei Wei read with pen and paper next time, so that he would have another treasure book that could be used as a family heirloom in the future.

"I can't let you copy any more, you will be tired with so many words."

Wei Wei felt that it was actually okay, but Felix insisted that she did not reject it. One read and the other wrote, in fact, it could be regarded as a couple.

After the New Year, it was sunny for several days. After asking someone who knew the weather, it was confirmed that the temperature would start to rise slowly, and even if it snowed, it was only a light snow, and it would not affect the road. After that, the serfs were told Finally headed to Sardinsonshire.

The families who had become serfs of Count Williams in the lower city were found from house to house. No one escaped or hid. They all gathered at the gate of the city on the day of departure as required.

It's not that no one has thought about escaping, but compared to children, adults' identities are all recorded. If they are caught escaping, they may become slaves, or they may be directly beheaded, all depends on the count's intentions.

This is not something that people who want to live in peace and then sell themselves and their families dare to do.

The carriages and mercenaries were hired early in the morning, and several cars were prepared for the food and heating items needed on the road. By the way, Felix also bought a lot of specialties for the leading knight Kingsley to send back to the territory together. A team of more than a thousand people, even if two-thirds of them are serfs, as long as no one dispatches the army, they are more than enough to deal with, but Felix feels that they are unlikely to encounter robbers along the way. Most of the robbers at that time were made by nobles.

Hank took his younger brother and waited in line with the others to get on the carriage. They were taken care of outside the city for a few days. Their changes could be described as huge. The originally thin children finally had some flesh, and their clean faces were blown by the wind. It was glowing red, but they didn't feel cold. The blankets on their bodies had long been replaced by pre-made warm clothes, and the shoes on their feet wouldn't get cold even if they stepped on the snow, because they were made of animal skins, and the inside was still warm. There is warm animal hair, and the little feet are wearing socks, so they can sweat when they walk.

The replaced blankets have not been recovered. They are still the children's personal belongings. They can be used as quilts when sleeping, and now they can also be used as furoshiki - although they don't have any luggage to carry, basically everyone's blankets are wrapped in them. All the wooden bowls and wooden spoons that I used during this time.

The treatment of children is the envy of those adults. Although they get more money and food to sell themselves, look at the clothes on their bodies. These are much more expensive than those food. Do you have these?

Fortunately, although they had no clothes, they still got their own blankets when they gathered. The adults were bigger and the children were smaller, but they were thick and warm to ensure that they would not get sick from the cold on the road.

In addition to tableware and chopsticks, Hank's wool blanket also contains two eggs, a patty and a piece of charcoal wrapped in his old clothes. Eggs and patties are good rewards for studying. He has been reluctant to eat them. If Chimi is hungry, feed him.

And wood is the tool he usually uses to practice writing. He sees that he will carry such a thin piece of charcoal as a pen when he teaches his qin. Many children also follow this example. Practice writing in the snow, and write on the ground when the snow melts, but a small number of people will practice writing on the stone ground with charcoal like him, and then wash the ground with water, and this behavior will not be stopped by adults.

Accustomed to using charcoal, he took it with him even though he knew there was unlikely to be a chance for them to contact and write on the road.

Compared with the nervousness and anxiety when he was just sold, Hank, who is waiting to get on the bus, is excited now. He is eager to go to the beautiful Sardinson County that the maids and teachers say, where he wants to live, study, and be with himself. brother together.

Suddenly, Chimi nervously pulled the corner of Lahank's clothes, pointed at the city gate and said, "Brother, over there!"

Hank looked over and saw that several familiar figures had appeared there at an unknown time. He was surprised that it was the person who had been in charge of them in the past.

The other party also noticed his gaze, showing a fierce look, his mouth opened and closed, and there was no sound, but Hank knew that it was to let them slip past.

Now that there are so many people at the gate of the city, as long as they sneak past, those people will have a way to bring them back, and the convoy that is already leaving will obviously not delay the departure for a few children.

But Hank just turned his head and told his brother not to look there.

They are going to live in a new place. Why do they have to go back and suffer? What about threats? There are so many people, as long as they don't go back by themselves, will those people dare to come?

They dare not. There are not only knights and soldiers, but also mercenaries in the convoy. These people are very powerful. They have weapons in their hands, and there is the benevolent Earl Williams behind them. Those who are just ordinary gangsters dare not provoke them. They, otherwise, would not have appeared now.

So, don't be afraid at all.

He was not the only one who had this idea. Several other children like him also ignored those people. Everyone quietly lined up to get on the carriage and left the place where they were born and grew up with the carriage. City.
