406. Uninvited guests come uninvited
"No, they have all gone to the militia reserve in response to Lord Ribery's call......" Jessica smiled happily as she patted the white powder on the shoulders of her brother who looked like a black tower because of carrying flour bags, "I heard that Lord Alexander requires all men over the age of sixteen and under fifty in the city to go to training, so these villains can't come back for the time being." β
"That's good. Husky looked at his sister dotingly, scratching the back of his head, with a proud expression on his face, and earnestly instructed: "Those guys are not kind-hearted things, especially that monkey-like Knight, who dares to beat my sister's idea, what a dream!"
The brother and sister haven't seen each other for more than a month, and they can't stop talking when they open the conversation.
Although Jessica is very similar to Angela in terms of that indescribable aura, she is definitely much more lively than Angela, and likes to giggle when she speaks, like a happy lark chirping, and her voice is very crisp and pleasant.
It's just that Husky, a fool, actually forgot the guests he invited and completely left Sun Fei aside.
"Who are you?, Emir, is this handsome gentleman officer your comrade?" said Jessica, chattering with her brother for a while, only to find that in the humble courtyard stood a young man with a smile as bright as the sun.
"Ah, damn it, I forgot to introduce you, this is the friend I brought, his name is ...... It's called ......" Speaking of this, Husky remembered that he didn't seem to know the other party's name, hehe laughed a few times, walked over and patted Sun Fei's shoulder, and asked loudly: "By the way, brother, what's your name?"
Sun Feiwan'er, this Husky is really a living treasure, dragging a big living person he doesn't know to his own home, after a little hesitation, His Majesty the King smiled and said, "Just call me Sun Fei." β
"Sun Fei, what a strange name...... Husky took his sister's hand and introduced: "Jessica, this is a good friend that my brother met yesterday, his name is Sun Fei, he is a small officer in the [Wolf Tooth Legion] under Lord Alexander, he is very good to his brother, I happened to meet him on the way back just now, so I invited him to taste my sister's best honey bread." β
"Sun Fei, being able to treat a fool like my brother as a friend, it sounds like you should be a good guy. Hello, my name is Jessica, Emir's sister, my brother He is such a confused person, please don't be surprised, please sit ......down quickly" The girl was very hearty and enthusiastic, without the slightest sense of twisting, but it made Sun Fei feel good, think about it, look at the Husky brothers and sisters' family background is poor, the children of the poor are in charge of the house, and naturally there is no squeamishness that is used to in the average beautiful girl.
Jessica was obviously a very diligent girl, and she quickly moved out of the wooden stool and beckoned Sun Fei to sit down first, brought a plate of green apples that were already a little wilted but clean, and took the silver that her brother Husky gave her for safekeeping, and went outside to fetch two pots of ale, and then, at Husky's urging, went into the house and began to make her own honey bread.
"Emir, it looks like you have a good sister!" Sun Fei was really a little envious of this stupid big man having a happy home.
Looking at the apples and ale on the wooden table, Sun Fei knew that these foods that were like chaff in the eyes of many people were good things for the two brothers and sisters to entertain guests, maybe the girl named Jessica was reluctant to eat on weekdays, and kept it for an unknown amount of time, waiting for her to enjoy it together, in such a cold desert, fruit is definitely a 'delicacy' in poor families.
"Hehe, of course, my sister has the title of the pearl of the Maltese slum in the north city, hehe. "Speaking of his sister, the stupid big man is always proud.
"Amir, if you brag any more, you will scare away our guests. A girl's voice came from the room, and she seemed to prefer to call Husky by his name rather than his brother.
"Haha, who in this neighborhood doesn't know that my sister Jessica's honey bread is a delicacy that even those nobles can't eat. The stupid man's dedication to honey bread made Sun Fei a little speechless, maybe in the heart of this stupid man, what his sister made will always be the most tempting delicacy in the world.
The two sat in the yard and talked a lot.
Husky is a person who can't hide words, he can always talk a lot about what comes to mind, Sun Fei most of the time is teasing the kitten in the yard with a small stick, while smiling and listening to Husky some allusions to the Double Flag City, the gossip of the nobles, etc., although chattering, but the heart is very peaceful.
Sun Fei was a farmer in the northwest region before his parents passed away, and he spent a beautiful and happy childhood in the countryside, so he has a deep fascination with this kind of fenced courtyard and the environment where chickens and dogs smell each other.
Time flies.
Soon the sun had sunk under the western city wall, and it was still early in the morning, and many of the surrounding courtyards and huts were wafting with smoke, and there were sounds of naughty children and chickens and dogs, as well as the voices of women scolding children, and a strong sense of paradise.
"Wow, it smells good, I smell the food. Husky drank the last bit of ale in one gulp and shrugged his nose and exclaimed.
There was a sweet and soft fragrance in the air, coming from the hut, and Sun Fei couldn't help but move his index fingers for a while, obviously it was a delicacy that even the nobles could not enjoy in the legend - Miss Jessica's honey bread was about to be ready.
Sure enough, Jessica soon came out with a baked golden bun.
The smell of bread wafted away, causing many neighbors to come out of their yards and look over this direction.
"Ahaha, I smell Jessica's bread again!"
"Look, oh, it's Emir back, no wonder Jessica is making honey bread again, it's the best smell I've ever smelled in my life!"
"Hee-hee, Sister Jessica, next time you're going to teach me how to make this bread. β
The relationship between the surrounding neighbors and the brother and sister is obviously good, Husky pulled his voice and invited the neighbors to enjoy the food, it can be seen that this stupid big man is indeed a scheming and very, very hospitable guy, otherwise he would not have dragged Sun Fei, a stranger who had only met twice, to the house, and soon the small courtyard was full of people, more than a dozen people, old and young, who were warmly entertained by Jessica.
"Sister Jessica, who is this handsome officer brother? Could it be your fiancΓ©?" A freckled little girl who looked a little smiling a year or two older than Jessica made fun of Jessica with Sun Fei.
"I'll tear your little mouth apart," Jessica pinched the little sister's face, "This is Emir's friend." β
But Jessica's denial was obviously not accepted by the well-meaning neighbors, although they were all inhabited by a group of poor poor people, but it could also be seen that the young man in front of him had an extraordinary temperament, although he was dressed very ordinarily, not as bright as the aristocratic children in the rich area of Dongcheng, and the smile on his face was also very kind, but there was a faint noble and majestic aura revealed, which was obviously not comparable to those noble children who had been hollowed out by wine.
"Jessica is a good girl, young man, and you'll be lucky if you marry her. β
"Yes, don't look at our Jessica from a poor background, but a priest of the Holy See said that Jessica will definitely become a big man in the future that even those noble ladies can't catch up, young man, I think you two are a good match!"
The uncles and aunts chattered a lot about Jessica, and they were also very enthusiastic about Sun Fei, obviously misunderstanding Sun Fei's identity.
"Hey, when you say that, I really found out, Sun Fei, you do have the qualifications to sit on my brother-in-law, haha. Husky followed the mess even more, scratching the back of his head and looking at his sister, and then at Sun Fei, as if he had finally discovered something.
Sun Fei just smiled and said nothing.
"Aha, it's so lively, there are so many people here, huh? Do you all know that I am going to be engaged to Jessica today, so you came to the courtyard in advance to wait to witness?, warm neighbors, I really want to thank you......" A large prickly voice came from outside the courtyard, breaking the happy atmosphere, and sounding particularly harsh.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed.
Sun Fei followed everyone's gaze, but saw five big men in garrison uniforms, uninvited, pushed open the fence gate of the small courtyard, and walked in with a smile.
The first man was extremely thin, with a slightly curved back, sharp-beaked monkey gills, and looked like an upright walking monkey, with some ruffians on his face, and half a bloody pig's leg in his hand.
"Damn monkey Knight, aren't you going to militia reserve training, what are you doing at my house? Get out of here, or I'll be rude to you." Husky reacted the most violently, stood up with a glare, stretched out his arm to block the five men who suddenly broke in, pointed at the men who were waiting for the same and scolded, and his words were unceremonious.
"Hey, Emir, your temper is still as hot as a stupid cow, but today, I'm proposing to Jessica, how about looking at my gifts?"
With a gentle push, the skinny monkey pushed Husky's nearly two-meter-tall body three or four steps away at once.
