157 girl thirteen
Returning to his room from Udir's study, Chen Xiansong opened the gift book and read a few pages. He found it very interesting. It records some people and things that Udir met when he was young, as well as embarrassing things he committed and self-reflection. Although he dare not say every word, it is also a work of attentiveness.
The more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became. Before he knew it, it was already noon. Ruth had prepared lunch, and Bai Min forced the book from Chen Xiansong, and then took him to the dining table.
Catherine and Frances came out of the room. The little guy still looked weird. While eating, he pestered Chen Xiansong to chat and asked some weird questions, such as: Teacher, do you think your mother has a thin waist or my waist... Do you think your mother is beautiful, or I am sexy... and so on.
Finally, she asked, "Teacher, I will live in your house in the future. Are there anyone else in the family?"
Chen Xiansong put down his chopsticks: "There are also sister Qianxin and Alice at home."
In Graystone Village, Chen Xiansong has been away from his territory for a while, but it is still calm here. The villagers did not leave the lord for a while and people were in a state of turmoil. The mercenaries also trained every day according to previous regulations. Now Graystone Village is the richest village recognized nearby... Everyone has a house to live in, wear clothes, and eat meat every two or three days. The girls in the village outside all want to marry in, and more people want to settle in... But this requires the consent of the lord to build a house on the land, otherwise it is a private invasion of the lord's land. If the person who builds the house privately has a noble status, it is best to say that at most it will be demolished and compensated with money. If it is a civilian, most people will not need to be tried, and they will be beheaded or hung in public.
Alice picked some vegetables from the field... Now she only had to make meals for two people, her own and Qianxin Sister's. This made her work much easier, but she felt a little lonely when she was idle. Although she had too much work in the past, she had to serve that guy to dress, wash, and clean the bed and quilt. Moreover, that guy was born with ADHD and liked to put things around. He would definitely be messed with by him in less than half an hour. Sometimes she liked to run around the mountains, and the good clothes would be stained with dust at once. He had to wash them again. In short, when that guy was at home, Alice always felt that there were endless things to do and endless fights... but she was happy.
Now that work is easy, no one quarrels with her. But she feels lonely.
She put the vegetables into the straw basket held by her right hand, looked up and saw that the green and yellow rice seedlings that had just been planted were everywhere around the village.
If it were usual, the villagers were fetching water for their rice fields bucket by bucket at this time, and it would take several days to fill the entire rice fields... However, now there are two water trucks that keep irrigating water. In just half a day, all the fields in the Graystone Village can be irrigated.
In the future, the villagers will save the hard work of carrying water... They just need to take time to drive away birds and insects.
As for fertilizer, the villagers can now extract excellent agricultural fertilizer from the manure-storing pits that the lord had ordered to dig before... Not only is the fertility sufficient, it also does not hurt seedlings, but it is many times better than traditional fertilizer such as wood ash.
The little guys who were well-fed and well-dressed became very energetic, holding wooden sticks and waving each other, playing the game of justice mercenaries and evil bandits. From the head of the village to the end of the village, young people went up the mountain to hunt together, women sat together to sew clothes, while the old people gathered in front of their own rice fields, looking at the small rice seedlings, smiling.
Such a village is the place to live. Alice remembered her serfs. She always had only a numb and fearful look, and there was no such vigor and joy here.
When will that guy come back? Alice picked the vegetables she needed today. She was about to go back, but she found a group of people at the end of the road... More than 20 guards surrounded two luxurious carriages and were slowly heading towards the Graystone Village.
Who is coming here? Alice is a little puzzled. According to the custom of the Kingdom of Kate, if the lord goes out, other nobles cannot visit the territory of those who go out. Even if there is an urgent matter, they cannot lead more than ten guards, because this will make people subconsciously think of some bad things, such as occupation, power seizure, etc.
The convoy is getting closer and closer. Alice can already see the appearance of the guard. She is a black-haired and dark-eyed Zhendan, and each of them looks solemn. It is obvious that the elite guards. Alice is also a nobleman. She has a good knowledge. Now Chen Xiansong has almost taken away the main combat power of the village. Such a group of people can rush back to Graystone Village, at most one or two discounts.
She remembered Chen Xiansong's explanation before leaving, and if there was anything that didn't solve, she would go to Sister Qianxin to solve it.
When she thought of Sister Qianxin, she was speechless. Alice had never seen such a woman who could sleep like this. She slept from morning to night, ate something casually, and then slept until the next morning... But no matter how she slept, she would not get fat. She still had an enviable figure. Alice thought this was unreasonable.
She quickly returned to the castle and went up to the third floor to wake Bai Qianxin up.
Rubbing his wild eyes, Bai Qianxin yawned a long yawn, and the spring light appeared in her pajamas: "Little Alice, what are you doing to wake me up so early? Could it be that Xiao Song and the others are back?"
"It's not so fast. It will take at least more than a month to come back, let alone stay in the middle of the stay." After Alice said that, she seemed to feel that the time seemed to be very long. She was silent for a moment and continued, "There are a group of people outside, which are the guards of the Zhendan Kingdom. I'm afraid something will happen, so I wake you up first."
Bai Qianxin casually put on her coat, went out to the balcony to look for a while, and smiled and said, "It seems that it was not a malice, but it is necessary to be on guard against others. Tell Fina and let her organize the guards. We are ready to welcome uninvited guests, but there seems to be no malicious."
When Fina organized the mercenaries, the convoy also came to the front of the castle.
The road was surrounded by crowds of onlookers, the children sniffed and stared at curious eyes, while the adults pointed at the convoy. For these farmers who might never leave the Black Rock City in their lifetime, the black-eyed Zhendan people were rare. Although they had seen it once not long ago, they still maintained enough curiosity.
Chen Zeyi came up from the carriage and frowned when he looked at the crowd around him. The visits between nobles and being watched by others always made him feel like he was surrounded by monkey plays.
Alice had already changed into the Qingqing green noble dress. Although she was Chen Xiansong's maid, she was still a daughter of a large noble family in front of outsiders. She was quite proficient in the etiquette among the nobles. Seeing Chen Yize's expression, she whispered a few words to Fina, and the latter began to order the mercenaries to disperse the crowd.
Chen Zeyi's expression improved. He was interested in observing the team of mercenaries responsible for dispersing the masses, compared them with his subordinates, and then both sides were half a dozen.
Alice walked up to Chen Zeyi, pulled the corner of her skirt, bent down and gave a light bow, and smiled and said, "Your Excellency, welcome to the Graystone Village. Due to the haste, we have not made any preparations. There are only some simple fruit wine and pastries in the room. Please come in."
Chen Zeyi had seen Alice before. He always thought that the other party was just an ordinary maid, but now he saw her wearing aristocratic costume, it was a little strange. Did this maid successfully "take the throne"? It is unlikely that with a beautiful and capable woman as his side, he believed that Chen Xiansong would not be so stupid and marry a maid as his wife.
Moreover, after Alice put on a noble suit, she had a temperament that was revealed, and Chen Zeyi did not dare to treat her as an ordinary maid. Moreover, as a person who has seen the world, Chen Zeyi knew very well that some things did not need to be known too clearly.
"Please wait a moment." Chen Zeyi smiled apologetically, and then said to a carriage behind him: "Thirteen, come down."
The crisp and lovely voice of "Yes. Sixth Uncle" came from the carriage behind, and then the curtain was opened. A young girl in a silenced lady's suit slowly walked off the carriage. Her hair was black and bright, and her body was delicate but with a pity.
If Alice is the breeze of summer, then this girl is the warm spring in spring.
"This is my niece, Thirteen, nicknamed Huilian." Chen Zeyi chuckled.
In the Zhendan Kingdom, women cannot have a correct name. After they get married, they can only give their husband's surname, such as Chen Di, and their nicknames will accompany them for the rest of their lives... But in death, their nicknames cannot be written into the genealogy.
The black-haired girl folded her hands on her right waist, bent her knees slightly, and said in a pure sun god servant's words: "Little girl Huilian, I have seen this sister."
"Hello." Alice also replied with a greeting, and then said to Chen Zeyi: "Your Excellency, please follow me. The acting lord is already waiting for you in the castle."
"Agent Lord?" Chen Zeseng was a little surprised: "Is Your Excellency Chen Xiansong not here?"
"Master, he was ordered to go to the royal city to receive rewards not long ago." Alice smiled and said, "So now Ms. Bai Qianxin is temporarily taking over the position of lord in the Graystone Village. You must have come here this time to talk to our master, don't worry. Ms. Bai Qianxin is the master's sister. She can make decisions for the master in any matters in the territory."
Ms. Bai Qianxin? Chen Zeyi was a little surprised. According to his information, the unsightly beautiful woman beside Chen Xiansong should be called Bai Min... Could it be that another woman comparable to Bai Min appeared?
"Haha, then I'm really not the right time to come. But I do have a very important thing when I come here this time. Since the agent lord is in charge, I really want to talk to her." Chen Zeyi looked around the surrounding environment without a trace, not knowing what he was planning.
