In the blink of an eye, Leah had been living in the Bluestone Palace for a month. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On December 6, 139 AH, the Resident Envoy sent for the third time to inform Leah that His Majesty wished her to return as soon as possible, so as not to delay the engagement ceremony in mid-January next year.

The marriage between the two countries is no more important than an ordinary wife and daughter, and it is necessary to pay attention to pomp and circumstance. When Maier got engaged to Yishan and Ulis, he took a large group of people to each other's house, and he had to bring gifts. Although Maier did not have a grand engagement ceremony with the two as he did now, the pomp and circumstance of the engagement was already there.

According to the customs of the Elts, when the princess marries into another country, at least 30 Elt personal guard cavalry must be sent as a guard of honor to send the princess to the country of marriage with great fanfare. Although Leah is already in the Bluestone Palace, she still has to go back to Loton City and follow the honor guard to Byron City.

Leah didn't want to go back to Lorton.

She hates Mel, and she hates everything related to him, including the Bluestone Palace. After she made a fool of herself in front of Meyer, she hated her even more and even wanted to kill him.

I hate him so much...... You want to kill him so much...... I hate it so much...... But...... But why don't I want to go?

For nasty and indestructible things, human beings will instinctively stay away. Leah hates Maier, but she can't kill Maier, and it stands to reason that she should be very happy to leave the Bluestone Palace, but she doesn't want to go.

Damn it...... Why haven't those imps come yet......

Leah looked out the window anxiously, and there were only a few vacation guards who occasionally passed by in the open space outside the Yuebin Pavilion. The children of the Barrons did not frolic in the open space with their friends as usual, much to Leah's displeasure.

In fact, the children of the Byron family also want to come out to play, but Gray has been busy with intelligence work for the time being, and can come back to teach the children. As a result, the children have to go back to class and have no time to come out and play.

Early that morning, Gray took Xiaoye, Ista and Lulu into the mountain with their seven children. The children's task today is to build a log cabin under Gray's guidance, and Xiaoye, Ista and Lulu will also help.

Unlike when he taught Meier, Gray asked the children to build not a tree house, but a wooden house built on the ground. The vacant land has been cleared in advance, and the materials and tools have been prepared, and if it were just a wooden house for children to play with, it would have been built in about six hours.

In addition to the tools used to build the wooden house, the children also found farm tools such as hoes and pitchforks. Gray told the children that when the huts were built, a professional farmer would guide them in the land tomorrow.

Of course, the children's abilities are limited, and Gray can't really let them plow the land. He just wanted the children to experience the hardships of the peasants, lest they despise the working people and the fruits of their labor.

The children are just over four years old and have very little work to do, spending most of their time working with Gray, Xiaoye, Ista and Lulu. Lulu had never done this kind of rough work, nor did she have the strength, and Gray was mainly responsible for guidance, so most of the work fell on Xiaoye and Ista.

"Oh!!! Mommy is good - amazing! ”

Al looked at his hard-working mother, jumping and jumping with excitement. Several other mothers did not come, and the children couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Gray noticed this and decided to bring the children's moms with him tomorrow. Anyway, they are fine, just enough to move their muscles and bones.

"Mother Ista's is amazing, too." Shirley stood behind Ista and said, "Did Mother Ista build a house before?" ”

Ista heard Shirley's clear voice, and her little face flushed slightly and became writhing.

"Hmm...... Mommy or something...... That one...... I've only done rough work......"

"Did Mom do rough work too?"

Al listened to Ista's words and asked Xiao Ye in a loud voice.

"Well, I've done quite a bit." Xiao Ye smiled innocently, "It's like washing clothes, cooking, chasing prey, etc., there are still people watching when we cook, for fear that we will steal food." ”

"Stealing?" Al tilted his head in confusion, "Did Mom steal anything?" ”

"No, no! Not really! Xiao Ye waved his hand again and again, "Mom was just bullied." ”

"Someone dares to bully Mom!!"

Al got angry when he heard this, rolled up his sleeves and said angrily.

"Who dares to bully mom? See if I don't break his nose! ”

"Al...... How many times have I told you, girls don't talk so rudely......"

Xiao Ye's teachings are soft-spoken, and they have no deterrent effect at all, and they can't cure El at all. Seeing this, Gray coughed vigorously. For grandpa, Al is very fond of it. But she likes an amiable version of her grandfather, not a stern and demonic grandfather. Gray's cough reminded her of the punishments she had received, such as being hung upside down and scratching her feet with feathers, and not being allowed to laugh, and she immediately became honest.

When it comes to work, Lulu doesn't help much. When Deella and Ryla were exhausted and panting after just a few trips to the nails, Gray asked Lulu, who was pale from carrying only one plank, to take care of the weaker twin sisters.

"Mother Lulu, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Lulu's frown, Deella thought she was unwell, and reached out her little hand with concern, wanting to touch Lulu's forehead. Lulu leaned down cooperatively, allowing Della to touch her forehead. Deira didn't know what to count as a fever, and after touching Lulu's forehead, she didn't know what to do.

"Thank you, Dela." Lulu smiled slightly, "I was a little uncomfortable, but after being touched on my forehead by Dela, I feel much better." ”

"Huh? Is it true? ”

Deella looked surprised, and Rayla was surprised.

"Can my sister heal people?"

Deira shook her head honestly and asked Lulu.

"Is Lulu's mother really okay?"

Lulu smiled and nodded, explaining to Deira and Raella.

"It's not that I'm not feeling well, it's that I'm feeling a little sick. I was a little worried about my friend, who had been thinking about her just now, and then I felt uncomfortable. After being touched on my forehead by Dela, I was comforted by Dela, and my mood improved. ”

"Is Lulu's mother's friend in trouble?" Rala asked.

"Sort of." Lulu smiled wryly, "It's just a minor annoyance, so it shouldn't get in the way." ”

This time, Erin is short of money again. She had sold out of the gifts, and Byfal's money had been spent, so she had no choice but to write to Lulu asking her to lend herself a little more money.

The city of Byron and the city of Sakdin are far apart, and it is not easy for the two sides to even communicate, and it is even more difficult to send money and goods. During Lulu's absence, the Veland family only sent money to her and Tal once, which was not a small amount. Even if the two of them don't do anything, they can nourish their lives for five or six years.

Tal had been working under Mel for an early age, and Lulu later became Mair's close attendant. Lulu didn't do much of her duty as a maid, but she was paid as she should. The two of them had enough salaries to support themselves and their servants, and the money they brought from the family had been saved and unspent, and it would increase a little more every month.

Tal gave all the money to his sister for safekeeping, which means that Lulu has a lot of liquid money in her hands. After getting engaged to Myer, she wants to give the money to Myr, who says that her money is the money from the treasury, and if Lulu gives her the money, it will be confiscated. When Lulu heard this, she immediately hesitated.

Meyer said that his money was the money of the treasury, but he did not say that the money of the treasury was his money, and the "all confiscation" in the second half of the sentence was enough to make his position clear. Mel was a selfless king, he did not have his own small coffer, the treasury allocated as much money as the royal family needed, and he would never use the money in the treasury privately.

Lulu wanted the money to be all for Mel and didn't want Mel to use it elsewhere. She finds Yunxin and hopes that she will persuade Myer, but Yunxin says that she will not influence Maier's thoughts in business. In fact, Yun Xin also thinks that Maier should have a small treasury, after all, the income and expenditure of the treasury must be made public, and it will be archived in the Ministry of Finance, leaving traces. If there is something that Mer can't make public, and he needs money urgently, then he will be deflated.

So Yun Xin went to talk to Gray, hoping that he could persuade his son. Gray couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yunxin's words, and he said that Maier didn't need any small coffers at all. He can withdraw funds from the Royal Bank at any time, the Royal Bank is the private property of the Byron family, and the people of the Heyan family will definitely give the green light, so why bother with a small treasury?

Besides, for the person who sits in Meier's position, many things cannot be solved with money. Mayer's biggest reliance now is not the Kingdom Bank, nor the Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, nor the Kingdom of Byrons, but the Tairong Fairy and Liu Xiu.

Tairong Fairy has a huge population base, strong production capacity, and unparalleled reliability, which can only be described by the word "invincible" when combined with the advanced technology from another world in Liu Xiu's mind. What Mel lacks most now is time, he needs time to get the Tayrong elves and the Ilibi people into contact, he needs time to integrate the Elibi Alliance and the Tayjung elves into a unified country, and he needs time to think about the next course of action.

At the same time, Mel also needs a lot of intelligence, and he must always keep abreast of the movements of external forces and try to buy more time for himself. At present, the intelligence system of the Supervisory Commission is still lacking, and the main body of this intelligence system is Gray's intelligence agency, which is deficient in all aspects before it is integrated with the Supervisory Commission and the intelligence agency of the Heyan family, otherwise Gray will not be caught off guard by the changes in the current situation.

Yun Xin listened to Gray's words and had a certain understanding of Myer's condition. But she still thinks that Mel should have a small coffer, and even if Mel doesn't need money, the royal family still needs to use it. If every use of the royal family was recorded in the archives of the Ministry of Finance, she would not feel comfortable rowing on Yongfeng Lake.

In the end, Gray couldn't resist Yunxin - in fact, Gray spoiled his daughter-in-law, and agreed as soon as his heart softened. He went to discuss the small treasury with Meier, and suggested that the royal family should have a small treasury dedicated to private expenses, so that the royal family could spend more freely, so that Meier's wives would be happy. Gray was sure that Maier doted on his daughter-in-law as much as he did, so he said that.

As he expected, Maier hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Gray's request. Then Gray came to Pershing and discussed with him about the appropriation and the royal family's private property.

It was from this time that the Byrons family officially had private property. The Bluestone Palace, as well as the annexed villages of the Bluestone Palace to be built in the future, are the first private estates of the Byrons family, and the population settled in them and the resources produced belong to the Byrons family. The second batch of private property of the Byrons family was the entire Watchmanship, but that's another story.
