The hunt had to come to an end. ?......

After the nearby attendants heard the news, they were sitting on the stone chatting, An Feng also tried the cigar that Matthew opened for him, but he was not used to smoking this thing, and he couldn't choke on a puff, Matthew next to him frowned: "Give it up, you still waste a cigar on me!" ”

An Feng smiled: "I always see it in movies like this, and it feels like smoke." ”

"I can't communicate with you." Matthew shook his head at his categorical description, "Cigars require patience and an hour or so of free time to have fun, and you have to be leisurely in preparation, you see we are in this state, although the boots are full of mud......"

"Okay, okay, I'll admit I ruined this thing." An Feng stood up, "It's not too early, let's go back and come back tomorrow." ”

On the way, Ma Xiu answered a long-distance call, although it is a remote area, but the country is not large, and several signal towers on the mountain are enough to cover completely.

He said a few words, as if it was an invitation or something, and then put down the phone and said to An Feng: "Bazel's eldest son Charlie, do you still have an impression?" ”

"We went to Africa together, what do you say?" An Feng said.

"My bad." Matthew smiled and said, "The family is going to stop by to visit, so why don't I invite them here?" "No problem, as long as you don't mind the environment." An Feng said.

"That's good." Matthew picked up the phone and continued to talk a few words, then he said, "They promised to come, probably tomorrow morning in Cagliari." ”

An Feng said: "Leave a contact information, and I will arrange someone." ”

……

There were guests in the morning, and the scheduled hunt was postponed to the afternoon.

At ten o'clock, two SUVs drove into the hunting palace. The Sinclair couple and their two children got out of the car. , but An Feng and Bazel are good friends, and when facing Charlie, he always feels a little like facing his juniors.

Charlie's wife, Josephine, is Danish, and An Feng met at their wedding, and heard that he was from a famous family, and when he faced An Feng and Joanna. It is also a standard set of lady's curtsy salutes. This etiquette, although not mandatory, was common among the nobility and the royal family.

"My father asked me to greet you both, I hope you will forgive me for the delay due to important matters." Charlie said politely.

"Convey greetings to him on my behalf." An Feng said.

Charlie introduced a son and a daughter next to him: "Carl the boy, Margaret the girl." ”

"Hello gentlemen and ladies!" The two children also greeted each other very well-behaved, especially the girls. Etiquette will also be performed on Joanna. Joanna had a smile on her face: "God bless you, beautiful girl!" ”

"Thank you, ma'am." She said.

, about five years old, with smooth and flat gold, baby fat face. Round like Alice when she was a child. It's just that she is quieter, not as lively as Alice used to, and she always gets to the bottom of the problem.

The children are also introducing themselves, and Alice is showing them the wild boar tusks of the day before yesterday.

A large group of children were chattering, full of yearning for wild hunting. It was afternoon. It will also fulfill the child's wishes. Continue to go out, but due to the large number of children, the range of activities is not far away. It is only concentrated around the hunting palace, for safety reasons. The guards brought their spears.

With so many people hunting, the excitement is enough, but the technology will decline.

Several children have very different personalities, Matthew's youngest son William is more bold and curious, and wants to try everything; Alice gets along with him best, both of whom are afraid that the world will not be chaotic; Fred was quieter, less talkative and more observant, but very gracious to help his companions.

The children got along happily, and for a few days, the friendship developed to the point where they could sleep in the same bed.

……

After ten days of playing, the children have been exercised, their picky temper is gone, and they have a sense of cooperation.

It's a pity that I have to say goodbye when I come back.

"Goodbye!" Alice and Fred beckoned to their friends.

An Feng also waved his hand at their car and said to the child, "See you next time." ”

"I know." Alice said, "What do you think, Fred?" ”

"I believe it." He said.

An Feng smiled: "Don't worry about this, when we have time, we can visit the door, or arrange a party during the summer vacation, this is your circle of friends." ”

"Daddy is so nice." Alice said, and Lafred walked back, "Hurry up, let's go see the newborn dog." ”

"It's a better mentality." An Feng looked at their backs and smiled.

On the way back, Joanna said to An Feng, "Do you like to stay with Fred very much?" ”

"Maggie?" An Feng was puzzled.

Joanna said, "Margaret." ”

An Feng said: "I thought that only Americans liked to call nicknames indiscriminately. ”

"Seriously, you don't?"

"No, I feel like the kids are all the same, and it's fun to play together, isn't it?"

"You don't understand." Joanna shook her head.

"You don't think about the future at the age when your child is still young, right?" An Feng suddenly understood the meaning and laughed.

"I didn't think so!" She argued.

"I understand." He smiled, "I thought some people were eager to become grandmothers." ”

"Bold!" She reached over and pinched An Feng.

"Stop!" An Feng dodged, she chased after him, grabbed his neck and jumped on his back.

"You're a queen, do you want an image?" An Feng carried her forward.

"I don't want to play the same role twenty-four hours a day!" She said, "Now I'm your wife, step out of your legs and go forward!" ”

"I've got you." An Feng shook his head.

……

After the New Year, the queen will officially canonize a group of nobles.

This list is all An Feng's familiar friends, they received their passports, and after inquiry, agreed to accept the queen's conferment. Three people received this honor,、, and they all expressed their interest.

They were invited to the Montcaliri Palace, and each of them brought his wife and daughter. The children were also reunited, but their wishes were quickly granted.

In addition to the honor of having nobility, the conferral also has the meaning of closer cooperation.

Accepting the canonization of nobility also signifies allegiance to the Queen. Although it is not explicitly stated, everyone understands the meaning of this. The An family is scarce, and at present, except for the couple, they are some relatives who are about to enter the society, and the vacancy of the population is relatively large, and cooperation is needed.

But it is not the same as in ancient times, and allegiance is given more symbolic meaning, and there is nothing to lose except to show the cooperative attitude of the important members. Even because of these relationships, mutual trust is more promoted. When the kingdom grows stronger in the future, the title of nobility is definitely the glory of high society.

Smart people learn to weigh, and the An family is worth getting closer to.

Therefore, the major families, especially those who cooperate closely with An Feng, will elect representatives, and the three of them are currently the first batch.

On the morning of the canonization ceremony, Joanna appeared in a grand dress and a crown. An Feng also went into battle in a dress and medals, in order to make him have more things to decorate the façade on his chest, Joanna gave him many medals, such as rare ones such as the Knight of the Cross.

It is a strict matter for the monarch to confer hereditary nobility, and the form is simple, but the ceremony must be prepared. In addition to the Queen's leadership and the testimony of others, there must be the participation of the clergy. In the new church where Joanna was crowned, a group of people were selected to serve the royal family, and they were responsible for religious activities such as coronation, baptism, or communion, including serving as attendants to the queen's canonization of nobles.

In the luxurious and solemn reception hall, under the attention of relatives, friends and attendants, the canonization ceremony was held.

Joanna, dressed in fancy clothes, stood on the steps, and the robed faculty member behind her held a long sword. An Feng was on the side, looking ahead with his back hand. In addition to the three nobles who were about to be canonized, relatives and friends were also present, and although the ceremony was not complicated, the scene was very solemn.

The first to receive the canonization was Matthew, who came to the queen and got down on one knee. On the steps, Joanna drew her sword from its scabbard, the tip of which was pointed on her shoulder, and the solemn scene was captured by the cameraman. Matthew then took the oath that he would be loyal to the Queen.

After taking the oath, the queen gently tapped him on the shoulder with her sword as a sign of her responsibility, and then withdrew her sword while Matthew kissed the back of her hand to complete the conferment.

The process has been streamlined a lot, but the main form is there. Upon completion of the conferment, Matthew will have a certificate of royal seal and a bronze cross of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Certificates have detailed titles and titles, and the information is preserved on the Internet and in paper archives.

Matthew was made a Marquis with the title of Sinclair, Marquis of Samuel.

After receiving the certificate and badge, Matthew smiled and nodded to the audience.

Then the second person came to power, since the bankruptcy of the investment bank and the setback of the American economy, his focus shifted to Europe, plus he had German ancestry, and after naturalization, he was canonized as an aristocrat, which can be regarded as a serious status.

The third is Roger, he is purely boring, but he has a wide circle of contacts and relatively large influence, and the title is also based on the will of the monarch, and he was also given the title of "earl", which will be kept for future generations. He has to pay close attention to the cultivation of his eldest son and take on the name.

Strictly speaking, the three of them were the first batch of official nobles in the kingdom, and if they were placed in ancient times, with their wealth and influence, they would indeed be able to build castles, gather the people, and take a radius of dozens of miles as their own territory, so as to confront the imperial court at a critical moment......

However, in the modern aristocracy, there is no way to talk about territory.

After completing the conferment of the three nobles, Joanna inserted the sword back into its scabbard, and the clergy respectfully took it with both hands, and then put it back in its place, and the whole process was over.

When you're done, you can congratulate each other and have a celebration in the evening...... Joanna has also mastered the experience of conferring the Medal of Honor, and will be even more handy the next time she publicly awards the Medal of Honor. )
