Chapter 4 Rose Manor (Part 2)
Follow Christine to approach Rose Manor, the first thing I saw was the green hillside.
The rose manor located on the hillside is mainly divided into three parts. The outermost edge is the manor territory, which is planted with a large number of flowers, plants and trees. In order to seek his beautiful wife, Earl Weston spared no effort to build a manor beautifully. Almost all the flowers in the entire manor bloomed for Christine alone.
From this point of view, no wonder Earl Weston was able to successfully pursue Christine from the pursuit of so many nobles. He was indeed a seed of infatuation.
After the death of Earl of Weston, the shrewd Christine managed these flowers and plants into a business. Under her management, the Weston family gradually became one of the largest flower suppliers in Winlington. After that, Christine began to try to plant magic plants and enter the alchemy material market.
There are now a large number of alchemy magic plants planted on the small hill of the Rose Manor. If the seeds that Xiu Yi possesses are the most rare and difficult to cultivate in the world, then the magic planting cultivation here is mainly based on mass transformation and is the main component of the existing alchemy material market. If you want to make an example, then Xiu Yi Glair has abalone bird's nest in his hand, and rice is planted here. Although the former is more expensive than gold, the latter is also indispensable.
The second part of the Rose Manor is the main courtyard.
The entire main courtyard consists of a large house covering an area of about 500 square meters, with a three-story pavilion-style building, with fifty bedrooms, four large living rooms, and an open-air lawn.
There is a building on the other side of the main courtyard called the Villa. Christine's brother-in-law, Earl of Karen Weston, lives here, where it forms a relative world and becomes the third part of the Rose Manor.
As for the backyard where Xiu Yi and his friends were about to live, they were actually several inconspicuous small houses in a remote corner of the manor that the people lived. After the death of Earl Weston, a group of servants were disbanded and thus empty.
It’s no wonder Christine is angry if she gives such a place to Seoyi and the others.
Under the guidance of servants, the convoy was taken to the car park where the best servants provided service to the horses. Shuey, Barkler, Lilith and others followed Christine into the main courtyard of the Rose Manor.
Walking through the gorgeous lobby, walking through the inner corridor covered with oil paintings, and decorated with the most exquisite wall lights and carvings, Christine took them to a conference living room.
To everyone's expectations, it turned out that there was already someone waiting for Christine here.
"Oh, my dear Christine, you're finally back." A man with a mustache like Kevin Beals came towards him. Most adults in the Lance Empire liked to have mustaches, and they thought it was a mark of handsomeness. Men without beards were boys who were not fully developed.
Of course, there are also those who have too many beards, such as the second waiting guest, a man with a short stature and big bearded face that almost covers the entire face.
A dwarf
Xiu Yi looked straight.
In this country dominated by humans, people rarely see existences like dwarves and elves. Most of them live in hidden corners of the world and live a life isolated from the world.
What Ling Xiuyi didn't expect was that he would actually see a dwarf at Christine's house.
There were three men waiting in the living room. In addition to the previous mustache man and the dwarf, there was also a big fat man who almost embedded himself in a chair when he sat.
At this moment, the previous mustache man hugged Christine enthusiastically, and Christine hugged her and smiled enthusiastically: "Oh, Hambrun, I haven't seen you for many days."
"I have said it many times, call me Kensey. If you call me Hambren again, I will call you Mrs. Weston." The bearded man looked dissatisfied.
"Okay, I apologize, Kensey." Christine turned her face, lightened her left cheek from the other party, and turned to the dwarf: "Oh, Maloy, long time no see, you look taller again."
The dwarf took his big beard: "My little sweetheart, you are so good at speaking. I am already sixty years old and it is impossible for us to grow taller. And we dwarfs have grown to my head, so we are already very tall."
His size was almost exactly at the front of the slender Christine.
Christine bent down and asked the dwarf Maloy to kiss her right cheek, and then came to the big fat man sitting: "Oh, don't get up, Bean, we are all old friends."
Christine gave the other person a hug.
"I'll accept it for everyone." Christine waved to Sethy: "The heir to the Dardanelles family, Siser Dardanell, a good friend I met in Royo City. We signed a big deal in Royo City, and now the Dardanelles family has officially become a partner of the Weston family."
"I'm glad to know you." The bearded man gave Xiu Yi a gentleman salute, and Xiu Yi bowed politely.
Christine introduced to Shuyi: "Virgin Bren, my good friend, the heir of the Hambren family, oh, he is one of the few men who do not intend to pursue me but only maintain a simple friendship with me."
"Maloy, the master of smelting at the San Marino Trading Company. We all know that as one of the three major merchandise companies in the Empire, San Marino Trading Company is mainly engaged in bulk ore smelting business, and no one is more proficient in this regard than dwarves. The company spent a lot of money to invite the master out. Some of the well-textured weapons of the Empire were almost all from the master's hands. The master loves to drink the green wine produced in the Rose Manor, which I invited the best winemaker, so we became good friends. If you want to ask him to build a good weapon for you, then you can either go to the San Marino Trading Company, or come to my cellar to find him. Oh, speaking of the cellar, Maloy, I hope that in the days when I was away, you did not drink all my wine."
The dwarf shook his head with certainty: (Updated/Newest/Fastest :/|1|6|| “I haven’t drunk all, but I’m still short.”
Christine slapped her forehead: "Oh my God, it's rare that I didn't express anger about this."
She grabbed Shuyi's hand and came to the fat man: "Count Bion Aitken, my husband's best friend, thanks to his help in the years when my husband died, I can only maintain it until now."
Bian Aitken moved his body with difficulty: "Without me now, your business can run smoothly. Christine, you are a genius. If I weren't that fat, I swear I would pursue you. It's not because of your beauty, but because of your wisdom."
"Love has nothing to do with appearance, you don't have to be ashamed of yourself. I love you, Bean, just like a sister who loves you with her brother." Christine gave Bean one.
Then she turned to look at Xiuyi: "The three people you see now are the only three people who have no intention of me. Maybe they are the only people in the whole world who reassure me. Only they are qualified to sit in my living room before I come back."
Christine's words were said quite cleverly, and the three men, including Viscount Hambren, were deeply moved at the same time.
Viscount Hambren took a step forward: "I'm glad that Christine gave me such a high evaluation, but when it comes to the name Siser D'Danell, I'm very familiar with it. Christine, is he the family boy who has entered your bedroom in the legend?"
Christine put her hand on Hambren's shoulder: "Kency, he entered my heart instead of entering my bedroom."
The three of them were stunned when they heard the sound, and at the same time they looked blankly at the boy who was obviously several years younger than Christine.
Even Xiu Yi was shocked. For some reason, at that moment he felt that Christine was sincere when she said this, as if she was not completely acting.
In the living room, Shuey, Barkler and others knew each other with Viscount Hambren, and Christine was the intermediary, and they soon became familiar with each other.
After learning that the Dardanelles family was temporarily settled in the Rose Manor, the fat man Bian Aitken frowned. He turned around and said to Christine with some difficulty: "When you tell me that this young man has entered your heart, I already understand your feelings for him. I can fully understand why you made such a decision, but I still want to remind you that such a decision may cause great trouble to you and your friends."
Then he looked at Shuyi: "Master Dardanell, I am not a person who likes to talk bad things behind my back. I watched Christine marry into the Weston family. She has not been easy for many years. There are too many people who are trying to make her think, her beauty, and her property will always attract enough greed villains. The reason why she has been able to get to this point is not only because she is smart, but also because she has never officially revealed her feelings. There are always some people who think they have the opportunity to give it to them.
While Christine brings trouble, she also brings protection, which has formed a delicate balance. But your appearance, Master Dardanell, you completely destroy this balance. If you plan to make the problem between you and Christine public, the consequence is that many people will come to trouble you and her. So, I hope the Dardanelles family can carefully consider their decisions. If possible, you'd better stay here for only one night and find a new residence immediately."
The big fat man is smart.
Just think of the nobles who offered rewards to capture Shu Iglare in order to pursue Christine. Once they knew that a young master from a nouveau riche family had become Christine's man, then it is conceivable that all pursuits would take the initiative to change direction.
Cisser Dardanell will be the target of public criticism, and trouble will be endless.
If this is a provocation by ordinary people, then Xiu Yi can ignore it so that he will not care about what actions others take against him. But this comes from the mouth of a person who cares about Christine, and he cannot be treated carelessly.
For Xiuyi, there are only two types of people in this world. One is the enemy, who is cruel, cold and ruthless to the enemy. The other is a friend, who should be warm, considerate and caring to friends. Bian Aitken may not be a friend, but he may be a friend in the future, so Xiuyi can only nod: "You are right, maybe the Dardanelles family should reconsider it."
"Shuy." Christine screamed softly.
Shuyi stopped her: "The Dardanelles family came to Winlington not just to travel around, but actually to settle down and take root. There will be no family in this world that does not even have their own residence. If the Dardanelles family wants to have a place in Winlington, they must find a permanent place for themselves... If handled properly, it can even bring unexpected benefits to us."
In just a few seconds, Xiuyi had a small plan.
He looked at Bian Aitken: "I don't know what empty houses are there in Winlington? Maybe Mr. Aitken can provide us with some information."
The fat man was thinking, and suddenly a loud voice came from outside:
"Why did the Weston family's guests want to move out as soon as they moved in? If that's the case, I'll have a good introduction."
——Outside the living room, a middle-aged man who looked about forty came in. He had a long, horse face and falcon-like eyes, which gave him an aggressive feeling when looking at people.
When he walked in, he walked very hard and was extremely fast. Before the sound could be dropped, the person was already standing in the hall.
Judging from this momentum alone, Xiuyi had already guessed the identity of the visitor, Earl Karen Weston, the main goal of his trip.
Behind the Earl of Karen Weston, there was a warrior in armor. He stood in the aisle outside the hall, far from the living room, but for some reason, Shuyi had a feeling. The warrior in armor could come to any corner of the living room with just one raising his leg.
What is different from all the warriors that Xiu Yi had seen before was that Xiu Yi did not feel any powerful aura from the other party. He looked like a puppet, cold and lifeless, but from the warrior, Xiu Yi felt a icy coldness of death.
This reminded him of the sword-equipped warrior from the Et family.
If these two warriors are compared, then the warrior of the Et family is like the rising sun, with every move full of power, and the warrior in front of him, if he is not careful, he will feel that he does not exist.
But Xiu Yi was willing to face the mysterious and powerful sword-matched warrior, rather than face this person.
That made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Caren, why are you here?" Kriss quickly stood up when he heard Karen Weston's entry. Her face looked very bad because she found that when Karen Weston came in, no one informed her.
"I'm going to come and see you when the hostess of Rose Manor is back. I'm sorry, I was busy with some work just now and couldn't come to greet you in time." Karen Weston saluted Christine.
"Do I feel honored to let you get out of those alchemy experiments?" Christine said in a cold mouth.
Alchemy experiment? Xiu Yi's heart beats.
It turns out that Kalun Weston is actually an alchemist!
Damn, Christine didn't tell herself this before.
He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake of underestimating the enemy.
Originally, in his opinion, Christine needed him to deal with it only was an insignificant noble count, but now it seems that this count is not simple.
This Earl of Karen Weston has at least one personal warrior who is difficult to measure, but is absolutely difficult to deal with. He is an alchemist himself, and he may also have more force, and this is probably why Christine can't do anything to him.
In addition, Shuyi even found a trace of magic fluctuations in the count.
This is not surprising. Every alchemist will learn some magic relative, but his ability may not be strong, but the consequence is that this count is definitely not easy to deal with. If he cooperates with the warrior behind him, he may be much stronger than a sky warrior.
From this point of view, Christine is indeed in great danger. Before Shuyi appears, I am afraid that it is not how Christine wants to deal with her brother-in-law, but how the Earl of Weston plans to deal with her beautiful sister-in-law.
No wonder Christine was willing to take such a great risk to help her in exchange for her own help. Obviously, Christine has reached a precarious moment. What is rare is that she has always been calm over the years, pursuing the men around her like the Ganges sands. This woman is so calm enough.
Yes, maybe this is why Earl Weston dared not attack her, just like Christine didn't want Karen Weston to die abnormally. Karen Weston also dared not let her die abnormally when facing Christine, who had enough suitors. Xiuyi, who had figured out a lot of things at once, looked at the Earl Weston's eyes, became particularly deep.
So, how should I deal with this Earl of Weston? The opponent is much harder than I had expected in advance.
At this time, Earl of Weston was still chatting with Christine and had affectionately met several visitors from the Dardanelles family.
When introducing Shuyi, Earl Weston's eyes emitted an excitement: "I have heard that the heir of the Dardanelles family, also an alchemy genius, invented a very good scout bee. It just so happened that I have always had a unique love for alchemy. Maybe we can sit down and have a drink together and have a good chat. Common language is the basis of friendship, and maybe we can become good friends."
Shuyi Return: "I look forward to communicating with you very much, but I am only good at making some insignificant things."
"That's the best. Oh, by the way, I have to apologize for the interruption of you just now. Why did the Dardanelles family just moved in and were anxious to buy a house? Do you think the villa I arranged for you is not good enough?"
"There is absolutely no such idea. Lord Earl, but there will be no family in the world who will always be guests in other people's homes."
"That's right." Earl Weston took his chin, and then he said: "When it comes to the issue of residence, I have a good introduction. The scenery there is beautiful and the place is large enough. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it can be refreshed with a little rest. What's important is that the price of that place is also very cheap."
As soon as he said this, including Viscount Hambrun, Maloy and the fat Aitken changed their faces at the same time, and Christine even screamed: "Oh no, you can't mean...that place, right?"
