Chapter 3 Hustle and Bustle Association (1)
Brandon was not used to eating rice, so he clamored for lunch to go to the restaurant that made the main noodle dishes. Shen drunk has no money in his pocket, and his mouth is short, so it is difficult to object.
The business area is divided into two markets, the east and the west. Most of the merchants in the east market are natives from Kyushu, while most of the merchants in the west market are foreigners, so there are obvious differences in the goods and food sold in the two markets.
The two came to the West Market and found a clean restaurant to sit down. Brandon asked for a sausage scone with green peppers and a glass of milk, and Shen asked for a bolognese sauce and a glass of plum juice.
After eating and drinking, the two of them stared at each other, and they didn't know what to do.
After a long time, Shen Zui proposed to register the new students, and Brandon agreed, and the two moved to the school district.
Shen Zui first accompanied Brandon to report to the Imperial Medical Department, and after completing the registration of new students, he received a thick stack of textbooks, and they walked to the small river between the Chillo Academy and the Imperial Medical Department.
At the height of the day, the scorching sun is high, and on the sparkling river, someone is paddling a canoe.
Standing on the red brick stone bridge, Brandon asked Shen, "Have you been here before?"
Shen Zui replied: "Maybe I have been." ”
He was less than four years old when he left Windwind, and his children's memories were always vague.
"Seven years, this would be the longest I've ever been away from home. Brandon said.
He quipped, "If you're like me, you're going to have to stay here for three years." ”
Brandon said, "Actually, no matter how long it takes, being away from home is a growth for me. ”
Shen Zui said: "It's also a relief for your sister, and she finally got rid of your giant baby." ”
Brandon's sister Amanda is four years older than him, because their mother is not a qualified mother in the strict sense of the word, and his father is always shuttling between countries because of his business, and only the two siblings in the family depend on each other, so the relationship between them is extremely close.
Brandon was not convinced, and said, "My sister loves me, and she is most reluctant to let me go." ”
Shen Zui muttered: "Amanda is almost old enough to get married, so she can't be tied to you all the time." ”
When they first met, Shen was eleven years old and Amanda was fifteen. At that time, in addition to her peerless beauty, what impressed Shen Zui the most was the gentle elegance and calm generosity that she revealed. It was probably also at that moment that the lamp of desire in his heart was lit, and he had never been so eager to be close to a person, and he had never been so afraid to touch a person. He was seduced by this torture, looking forward to it, worried that he was like a pot of water that had been tumbling on the edge of a hot pot, and he couldn't help but pounce on it in front of her.
This wonderful deformed mentality has surrounded him for many years.
Brandon scolded: "A man who can be worthy of my sister does not exist in this world. ”
Shen Zui frowned, and said helplessly: "According to your logic, it is most suitable for your sister to be a nun or nun for a lifetime." ”
Brandon said excitedly, "Phew, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." ”
"An elephant can't spit out ivory from its mouth, and your sister will marry sooner or later, and you will have to accept this fact sooner or later. Shen Zui said this, but in his heart he was the most reluctant to accept this fact.
Brandon said firmly, "But there really is no man she can look at." ”
Shen Zui shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily." ”
Brandon asked, "Who, for example?"
I, for example, chanted silently while laughing at my own blind arrogance in my heart. She really doesn't deserve Amanda, she's almost a perfect woman. The so-called almost, it's not because she has any shortcomings, it's because she is too accommodating to the feelings of the people around her, and always puts her emotions in a humble position. Even though she always has a faint smile, Shen Zui knows that sometimes she is not happy.
Seeing that Shen was drunk and silent, Brandon said, "Look, you can't tell." ”
Someone is not worthy now, but it does not mean that he will not be worthy in the future. Shen Zui wanted to refute him like this, but after thinking about it, this sentence was more like an empty slogan, so he swallowed it back into his stomach, threw down the sentence "The battle of tongues is useless", and turned to leave.
Kello is much larger than the Imperial Hospital, with a standard racecourse, six seven-storey buildings and an indoor training ground. From the perspective of enrollment, the number of students in Chilo Academy is also the largest among the major schools, with nearly 500 students in each class, and more than 2,000 teachers and students in the school.
As a result, there is a long line in front of the new student registration desk.
"Hey, isn't that the stupid big guy who got beaten?" Brandon whispered, pointing to the front.
Shen Zui also noticed that the tallest boy in the team was the big one who was repaired in Urn City a few days ago, and he hurriedly pressed Brandon's arm and said, "Don't point it, if he sees it, I'm angry with you, I don't have the ability to save you." ”
Brandon said again: "I didn't expect him to be from your Wizardy Academy, hahaha, it's interesting." ”
"I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Shen Zui said and looked around, but did not see the figure of the young man in white.
A red-haired teenager in front of them overheard the conversation between the two and turned his face and said, "You know Nurli?"
The red-haired boy had dense freckles on his face, a pair of large bulb eyes, and jagged teeth.
Brandon shook his head and said, "I don't know, this name is so strange, where is he from?"
Shen Zui thought that many people from the southwest desert were called by this name, and Brandon had stayed at home for too long and rarely had contact with outsiders, which was strange.
The red-haired young man said cautiously: "He is the young city lord of Dawan Guoguishan City, and your friend reminded him that he has a very hot temper, and he has no good fruit to eat." When our Qingyuan City Lord was hunting before, because the prey strayed into their territory, he caught him and broke his legs, so he still can't get off the ground. ”
Dawan and An Mo are adjacent to each other, Guishan City and Qingyuan City are also not far from each other, generally speaking, the lords of other countries have strayed into their own territory, and they only need to warn and drive them away, and it is indeed too much to break people's legs.
The red-haired boy stretched out his right elbow and said, "My name is Stephen Gleeson, and I'm from Qingyuan City, An Mo Country." ”
Shen Zui knew their An Mo etiquette, and also stretched out his right elbow, replacing the "handshake salute" with "elbow touching salute", saying: "Nino City, Daxi Kingdom, Shen Zui." ”
Brandon followed his example and "bumped elbows" and said, "Brandon Antois, we are both from one place." ”
Stephen's eyes lit up when he heard his name and he asked, "Is the Great Antova Company (GAC) related to you?"
Brandon couldn't deny it, so he said, "It's kind of related." ”
Stephen looked younger than most of the students, childish, and unabashed: "Then you must be rich." ”
Brandon smiled wryly and said, "This... Do you think I'm rich?"
Stephen really looked him up and down carefully before saying, "It's hard to judge, just assume that you are rich, it's always good to know more rich people." ”
"Haha. Shen Zui was amused by his quick words and asked, "How old are you?"
Stephen replied, "It's eleven at the end of the year." ”
Brandon asked in surprise, "At what age can you go to Anmo's school?"
Stephen said proudly, "It's so easy to teach in school, so I learn it at home." ”
At a young age, he was able to be admitted to the Strange Academy by self-study, and Shen Zui thought that his wisdom was very high, but because of his young age, he was obviously not a little hot in terms of how he behaved in the world.
Stephen suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, will you come to the dinner party of the Marquis of Hongliu the day after tomorrow?"
He didn't remind him, he was drunk and almost forgot about this.
Brandon replied, "Well, we'll both be there." ”
Stephen smiled and said, "I've heard that they're going to announce the eligibility for this year's 'association' at the banquet, so I'm really looking forward to it." ”
Shen Zui looked at Brandon with a puzzled expression, and saw that he was also wondering.
"What association?" he asked.
Stephen was surprised and said, "What other association can there be, naturally it's the 'Hustle Association'." ”
