Chapter 154 Jules' House

Prince Philip was suspected of being the leader of the gang of liars, which made Prince Philip very depressed. Fortunately, they came out to win votes this time and carried their ID certificate with them. Otherwise, Yule might have arrested him.

But after believing in Prince Philip's identity, Yule was shocked - what's going on? How could my nephew become a baron? And his fief?

But as a duke's younger brother, Prince Philip would not make fun of him. So Marin briefly introduced the story of his participation in the Italian War and insulting the French King Charles VIII.

"What? That young hero Marin is you?" At this time, Yu Le also reacted.

As the Secretary of the Government of Mermere City, he had indeed heard of Marin's deeds. Even Cornisburg had sent written news for reference by the various sub-group leaders. At that time, Yule had read this document. However, in that document, only Marin's name was mentioned, and no surname was mentioned.

So, Yule would never contact that magical Marin with his nephew...

People always have this mentality. People who have nothing to do with them have achieved earth-shaking achievements, and they will only sigh. But if someone they are familiar with suddenly does something earth-shaking, they often don’t believe it at the beginning. Because the suddenly famous person was wandering in front of their eyes before, they didn’t think that this person was so powerful. But if this person suddenly did something big, they not only couldn’t believe it at once, but they might even have complex emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred. If an irrelevant person, they don’t have so many thoughts.

Yule did not have any jealousy and hatred for Marin, but he couldn't believe it was true. Because Marin was also from the ordinary Hoffman family, and like himself, he was also a second son and had no right to inherit.

If Marin became famous in the battle and was named a formal knight, he would still be acceptable. But if he became famous in the battle and was named a baron with a fief, he would be unable to accept it. Because this was beyond his imagination...

It took a long time to prove his identity, Prince Philip, before Yu Le believed that his nephew had indeed made great progress. Even Marin's achievements surpassed the ancestors of the Hoffman family and officially became a noble that could be hereditary.

"Let's go, Malin, go to my uncle's house, let's have a few drinks and celebrate the grand event of our family!" In excitement, Yule forgot Prince Philip.

Prince Philip didn't think it was offended, so he simply canceled his visit plan and went back to the hotel first. Marin took Kahn, Kohler, Sauer and other close friends to Yule's home together.

Yule led Marin and turned around and stopped in front of a dilapidated small house in the slum of Mermere.

Yule seemed to see Marin's surprise in the face of the dilapidated little house, so he explained:

"Originally, I lived in a big house near the town hall, but since your cousin John and your aunt got sick, the family expenses were too high, so I sold the original big house and moved here..."

Marin also said silently. This situation is also very common in later generations. If someone suffers from severe leukemia, the treatment fee will be hundreds of thousands. In desperation, the family had to sell the house to raise the treatment fee...

Similarly, Aunt Tana is simply “imported” because herbs are expensive. Therefore, even a high-income civil servant, Uncle Yule couldn’t bear it and had to sell the house to raise medical expenses…

The house was a little crowded, so Marin asked the others to stay outside, and he took Kohler and walked in with his uncle...

The house is very small, with only three small rooms. When you enter the main entrance, you will find a small living room. There is a kitchen to the west, and a bedroom to the east. There is no furniture in the house, which is extremely simple.

When Uncle Yule opened the door and entered, a shabby little boy walked out of the bedroom to the east, probably what Uncle Yule called Peter's cousin.

Peter's cousin was not very old and looked about 10 years old, about the same age as Marin's younger brother Albert. But when Yule told him that Peter was 12 years old, Marin was still surprised.

"12 years old? Isn't that the same age as Simon? But, it's much shorter than Simon..."

"Simon? Another son of Big Brother?"

"Yes." Marin introduced the situation at home to Yule.

"Peter, a child, has spent too much money on his family's medicine expenses in recent years, and he has no spare money to buy him delicious food. Therefore, he doesn't eat well and looks a little thin. I feel very sorry for him, but there is nothing I can do..."

"This is not a problem. With me here, I won't be missing my cousin's bite." Marin said confidently.

Then, Yu Le took Marin and greeted his aunt Tana, who was lying in the east room. Aunt Tana was covered in dish and looked sick. She lay on the bed. Marin greeted her. She could only blink and hum weakly. Even if she had said hello, Yu Le went to the kitchen to cook medicine...

After looking at the medicinal materials, Malin looked at the medicinal materials and did not know anything except licorice. This is also normal. Malin was from southern China in his previous life. The herbs prescribed by Mongolian doctors in the Golden Horde are basically adapted to local conditions and are produced from the Central and North Asian grasslands and the Eastern European grasslands. Different geographical locations, different climates, and different species. Therefore, it is normal for Malin to not recognize herbs produced from Eastern Europe and Central and North Asian.

While boiling medicine, Yule talked to Marin. Yule said to Marin:

"These medicines are relatively cheap. This pack costs only 30 Finneys. Do you know, Marin has a medicine that looks like a long radish and has many roots, which is expensive. The lowest-grade ones also cost several gold coins in a short section."

"In fact, the Mongolian doctor who prescribed me suggested that I use the radish with roots for your aunt every day, but the medicine is too expensive and we can't afford it. A little higher level will cost dozens of gold coins, which is worth my annual salary."

"Are you talking about ginseng?" Marin felt like ginseng no matter how he heard the kind of radish that Yule described with many roots.

"renshen (ginseng)? Yes, the Mongolian doctor's pronunciation seems to be very close to this one, it should be ginseng. It is said that the medicine called ginseng was transported from the distant Mongolian old land, and the transportation cost is extremely high. Moreover, this is not from Mongolian old land. I heard that it was collected by barbarians (Juchens) in the forest east of Mongolian old land, and it is quite rare. It is extremely rare in Europe, so it is very expensive..."

"The Mongolian doctor said that your aunt is in a loss and needs to use a lot of radishes called ginseng to nourish it, but the cost is extremely high. Moreover, it takes a whole year to eat it. After a year, the cost of buying ginseng and radishes is probably going to cost thousands of gold coins. My salary is so high that I can't afford that kind of radish..."

"Can you sure you can get better after taking ginseng for a year?" asked Marin.

"Probably OK..." Yu Le wasn't sure.

"That's it. After a while, I will send someone to the Golden Horde and invite a few Mongolian doctors at the court to come, and give my aunt a good diagnosis and re-prescription. If so many ginseng is needed, I will pay for it."

"How can this be done? Uncle knows that you are a baron. If it is one or two hundred gold coins, I may ask you. However, the number of thousands of gold coins is too large. Uncle can't ask you for it!"

"What are you talking about? I'm not short of money, just a thousand gold coins, nothing!" Marin said domineeringly.

"But……"

"Don't let it go, my aunt's life is important!"

After Marin said this, Yule stopped talking. Because he really wanted his wife to recover.

"Well, before finding a reliable Mongolian doctor, uncle can't live too badly, otherwise he would lose face from me. Kohler, come here and bring some gold coins..."

Then, Marin grabbed a handful of gold coins, about a hundred or dozens, and stuffed them into Yule's hands:

"Take it, buy more meat for Brother Peter, otherwise it will be bad if you grow up and don't grow taller. Also, I will leave you a horse. You are the Secretary of the Government of Mermel City. If you don't have a horse to ride, what do you think?"

"No, Marin, I can't ask for your things anymore. Uncle knows that you have money, but money is not spent like this. You can't receive any reward without merit. This is the knight's principle of being a human being!"

"I know, uncle, this money is not for nothing. In the future, I may have to start a business in the Teutonic Knights, and I still need my uncle's help and care..."

"Oh...so...by the way, what business are you going to do in Teutonic?"

"salt……"

"Hiss-This is a big business! In Prussia, without a strong backstage, it is impossible to do this business. Uncle, I am a little slight, but I can't be your backstage..."

"I know, so, I'm here with Prince Philip..."

"Prince Philip? What did he do?"

"He is here to run for the commander of the Teutonic Knights..."
