Chapter 139: It's too exciting
The young girls in Hanover City were all shocked by Yang Yi's letters, everyone expected the letter to be delivered to their homes, especially some beautiful girls from aristocratic families, they no longer expected Yang Yi to be able to have dinner with them alone, and even had no other requirements, they just hoped that the letter could be sent, because it was related to their self-esteem, if they couldn't invite themselves, what a shameful thing it would be.
What kind of young girl is not vain? So the stewards and attendants were unlucky, they stood outside the door, waiting, expecting, and even wanting to rob, but after Forman was recruited once, they were extremely vigilant, and Andre and Gretel were also very strong, and what happened to Forman was only once.
Some people cheered, some prayed, some people were scolding, the lively day passed like this, the noble ladies who received the letter were happy, and those who did not receive the letter suffered from gains and losses, it was really a few joys and a few sorrows.
Yang Yi sat in the courtyard and listened to the information that Forman and Andre and Gretel gave back, knowing that his plan was successful, but he didn't expect it to be so successful, and it actually formed a trend, as if that noble lady was not invited, she was not beautiful, she was not noble, and she was not as good as someone else's young lady...... invisibly gave Yang Yi the right to identify beauty and dignity.
"Master, do you think you can send a few more letters? There are a lot of noble ladies in Hanover, thirty people are too few, you don't see how crazy people are, we go all the way, and they are extremely popular when they are sent to that family, and even take out gold coins to reward, if you hadn't told us that you can't accept people's money, we can now at least receive dozens of gold coins per person......"
The words were said by Andre, he couldn't stand the disappointed eyes of others, Yang Yi listened quietly, but he smiled bitterly, turned his head and looked at their small yard, there are two donkeys in the not big yard, and there is a platform with a grinding plate, and three tables can be placed in the yard, which is already the limit, how much to put there?
What's more, there are more people invited, it is not worth much, thirty aristocratic ladies can set off a tofu trend, and a hundred aristocratic ladies can only set off waves, this kind of thing is not too expensive, and things are scarce and expensive, besides, the reason why there are so many things, the ultimate goal is to promote tofu, if you have eaten tofu, it will not be fresh, not unusual.
As long as the thirty aristocratic ladies have a successful banquet, will those uninvited ladies be unconvinced and buy a few pieces of tofu to taste back? It should be, so let's follow it step by step, Yang Yi just wanted to talk to the three of Fuman about his thoughts, and the sound of knocking on the door sounded.
At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, who would come so late? Yang Yi motioned to Fuman to open the door, Fuman opened the door, and saw a person in his forties standing outside the door, who looked like a butler, saw Fuman, and saluted: "Dear Mr. Fuman, is Master Yang Yi at home?" ”
"You are?" Forman asked suspiciously.
"I'm the butler of Duke Rem's house, and I'm looking for something to discuss with Lord Dragon Knight."
"Then please come in." Forman welcomed the housekeeper into the courtyard, and the quick-witted Forman found that there were still a few people outside their yard, could it be that they were all for the purpose of delivering letters?
Forman didn't guess wrong, after the housekeeper entered the courtyard, he shouted to the back, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old attendant also followed in with a box, Yang Yi looked at the housekeeper and the attendant in astonishment, and suddenly understood what was going on, they wanted to buy a letter, because the young lady of the Rem family didn't know if Yang Yi's letter would be delivered to her house, and if she didn't worry, let the housekeeper buy Yang Yi, is it strange that such a thing happened in Hanover City?
Yang Yi didn't think it was strange at all, it cost money to even enter the knighthood, that is to say, Hanover's corruption was already a matter of course, but he didn't expect that someone would come to give him money, so he stood up politely and said to the housekeeper: "Dear housekeeper, may I ask, what's the matter with me so late?" ”
"Dear Lord of the Dragon Knight, that's the case, our young lady knows that you have come far away to work hard, waiting for the Jue, and the gift money for the Jue is a little insufficient, she admires you very much, so I asked me to send a hundred gold coins, hoping to have a long talk with you, and be able to learn from you the culture and knowledge of the East."
Yang Yi couldn't help it, goo-dong! swallowed a mouthful of spit, a hundred gold coins, not a small amount, just buy him a letter, an invitation letter, if there are thirty letters, each one can be sold for a hundred gold coins, most of the money he has to enter the knighthood will be settled, but can he accept this money? Does he dare to take it?
Don't dare to accept it, if you accept it, the tofu banquet will become a joke, not to mention that the gift is so blatant, and there are others outside the door, okay? Yang Yi believes that it is not only the Rem family who have this kind of thought, they all come at night, if they collect the money, they will have to collect the money in the future, Yang Yi has the courage to collect the money, but if he has no courage, he will become a joke, and the reputation that he has finally brushed up will become stinky.
I didn't dare to accept this money, Yang Yi sighed, and said to the housekeeper: "Dear housekeeper, thank Miss Rem for your kindness for me, it's not that I don't respect Miss Rem, but we have already had a predetermined candidate, please go back, but you don't have to be disappointed, how do you know that there is no Miss Rem in the letter we sent?" ”
"Dear knight lord, I just want to make sure, is there really a young lady in our family?"
"I can't tell you this, please go back......"
After being polite, Yang Yi resolutely did not accept the gold coin, let Andre send off the guest, and sent away Rem's housekeeper, and the knock on the door sounded again, Forman, Andre, Gretel, turned their heads to look at Yang Yi together, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't dare to open the door again, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand the temptation, and he wouldn't have so much spare time to deal with it, and he didn't sleep anymore?
"Gretel, go and bring me paper and pen to the master, and I will write a motto and stick it on the door outside, and the people who come again will leave when they see it."
Glitter brought the banknote, Yang Yi groaned slightly, and wrote Shakespeare's famous words about money on white paper: gold, yellow, glowing, precious gold! With a little bit, the black can become white, the ugly into beautiful, the wrong into right, the humble into noble, the old into a young man, and the coward into a warrior......
The previous passage was written by Shakespeare, and Yang Yi added a few more sentences: But it will never change my insistence on truth, my respect for life, money cannot change my decision, please respect me, and please respect yourself.
Seeing the sentence about money written by Yang Yi, Fuman clapped his hands and said: "What a good aphorism, the person who bought the letter will definitely retreat when he sees this passage, master, you are really a genius." ”
Yang Yi put down the pen, turned his head to look at Fuman, and sighed: "It's just pretending, don't admire, let alone pat yourself!" ”
Foreman...... picked up the sentence written by Yang Yi and went out to post it, Andre came up and said to Yang Yi: "Master, the young lady of the Rem family is very beautiful, I originally planned to send her a letter tomorrow, since you rejected Rem's housekeeper, can the letter be delivered?" ”
Yang Yi was silent and said: "Send, let others see, as long as we decide on the candidate, we will definitely send it, so it is fair, not to mention, if you don't send it, I also want you to send it, think about it, a rejected woman, rich, powerful, powerful, and the burden of sending money, swept her face, if she has resentment, what a terrible thing it will be, I believe that it is absolutely not enough to succeed, and it is more than enough to lose, so this letter must be sent, but it must be sent last tomorrow, do you understand?" ”
"I know my lord, you are really cunning."
Yang Yi looked up proudly and said, "Master, I know!" ”
Yang Yi's actions soon spread all over Hanover, and at the same time, the words he posted on the door quickly spread, and people believed that Yang Yi was a sincere and upright person, a person who was not moved by money, and no one would come to buy the letter again, but the Rem family's act of buying the letter became a joke.
Miss Rem is a big beauty, there are countless suitors, she has always thought that she is a rare beauty in Hanover, but on the first day of sending the letter, it was not sent to her, which hit Miss Rem's self-confidence very much, she waited with great anticipation for the letter to be delivered the next day, but it still didn't come, she panicked, she was not a fan of Yang Yi, and she didn't even appreciate it, because Yang Yi was not a prince.
The only one who can match Miss Rem is the prince, but the letter has not been delivered for two days, Miss Rem panics, she is vain, she can't accept such a result, if she can't become the thirty girls invited, she used to be proud, she will be laughed at by others, and the tofu banquet that everyone in Hanover City knows, has become a symbol of status and beauty.
Miss Rem believed that as long as she was among the thirty people invited, her worth would be different, so she sent a housekeeper to find Yang Yi with a hundred gold coins, and even made her request, the next day she would be the first to deliver a letter to her door, and if a hundred gold coins were not enough, she would add more.
What Miss Rem didn't expect was that Yang Yi didn't accept gold coins at all, and wrote a paragraph like that, many people knew about her wanting to buy the letter, Miss Rem was very sad, and cried sadly all day, she thought that the letter would not be sent again, so she hated Yang Yi, her anger was burning, she wanted to retaliate, she wanted to let the dragon knight know how powerful she Miss Rem was......
Just when Miss Rem secretly swore to deal with Yang Yi, the butler suddenly rushed in and shouted in surprise to the young lady who was crying alone: "Miss, Miss, Yang Yi's knight's attendant, Andre has sent you a letter." ”
"Ahh Miss Rem was surprised and delighted, the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground, at this moment she suddenly took a deep breath, full of gratitude to Yang Yi, because the Dragon Knight is fair, and does not send her a letter because of her fault, which also proves that she is really beautiful, but this ups and downs of life is too exciting......
