Chapter 113: The Visitor of Lester the Vampire (Part I)
Since she left, the servant then brought clean clothes, razors and warm water, Duan Cheng didn't do it himself, he asked the servant to take care of himself and groom himself, this is not that he is too lazy to do it, but the nobles naturally have to look like nobles, and they have done everything themselves, so what do the servants do.

Life was so uneventful, and in the blink of an eye a month passed quietly, until some of the visitors arrived, and Lester's mother entered Duan Juan's room, and he had to receive several merchants from the village who had come to congratulate him on his success in slaying wolves.
Duan Zheng originally refused, but he couldn't resist the titular mother, "You must go down, this is your obligation, and they have brought you gifts." ”
This woman said so, Duan Ji could only come to the hall hard, these merchants who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, most of them were some rich shopkeepers, all of them were well-dressed, but one of them was a well-dressed young man, which attracted Duan Ji's attention.
He looked at the tall young man, who felt familiar to him, and a sealed memory came out of his mind, which was naturally the memory of the original Lester.
He knew that the young man's name was Nicolas de Langfang, the eldest son of a cloth merchant, who had studied at the school in Paris, and who was now dressed in a disgraceful manner.
He was dressed in a rose-gold brocade robe, boots with gold heels, the neckline of his dress was trimmed with gold lace, and the only thing that coincided with Duan's constant memory was his jet-black curly hair, which was tied with a ribbon, which was now fashionable in Paris.
Looking at others, and then at himself, Duan constantly found that his aristocratic dress was not at all comparable to that of a merchant's son, and now he was wearing shabby leather boots on his feet, and his clothes were worn and yellowed, and he didn't know how many times they had been repaired.
History has long proved that when capital accumulates to a certain extent, the bourgeoisie will appear on the stage of history, and if you calculate the time, it is not too early to go before the bourgeois revolution and the French Revolution.
Just when Duan continued to sigh that he was a nobleman and was about to decline, Nicholas on the opposite side took out a red velvet cloak with fur from the cloth bag, which was much more dazzling than the yellowed clothes on Duan Zheng's body.
Nicholas looked at Duan Constant with blazing eyes, as if there was a different kind of emotion hidden in it, his gaze made Duan Constant's scalp numb, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Could it be that this young man has any thoughts about himself, just thinking about it, he feels goosebumps all over his body." ”
Duan continued to smile reluctantly, the gift given by Nicholas was indeed precious, but he himself didn't have that kind of thought, although his current appearance was relatively delicate, to be precise, it should be close to feminine.
"Sir, please be sure to keep it, it is made of the best wolf skin of the wild wolves you have hunted, it is the best symbol of your merits, may you wear it in the future, and stand tall in the cold winter." Nicholas handed the cloak over with both hands, his eyes full of adoration.
Duan kept hearing what the other party said, and after learning the source of this cloak, he couldn't help but secretly said: "Speaking of which, it's not that I used the fruits of my labor to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, which caused me to hesitate for a long time, but now I don't have to be polite!" ”
Duan kept thinking like this, even these wolves were hunted by him, and the other party took away these wolf skins without his consent, and now it is nothing to give him a cloak, and he is merciful if he does not collect money from these people.
"And this!"
His father stepped forward and took out a pair of black sheepskin boots with delicate lace trimmed on the fur, and the merchant handed the gift to Duan and said, "Only the most precious gift is worthy of the bravest hunter." ”
However, Augustine was heard behind him say in a strange manner: "This time, he will be even more arrogant, and I don't know who will be able to restrain him in the future." ”
Duan, who was about to take the boots, was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out why Lester's eldest brother was so hostile to him, maybe he was jealous.
In short, now he is a little unhappy, the first time, he can still ignore this so-called big brother, but after these repeated provocations, even if he is a clay man, he has three points of anger.
What's more, with an arrogant character like Duan Constant, coupled with the ability that ordinary people don't have, even if he kills all these people, it's not a difficult task.
Duan constantly turned his head with a gloomy face, and swept his eldest brother coldly, Augustine only felt that his body was cold, as if he was being targeted by a fierce lone wolf, and an extremely strong fear arose in his heart, and even his body involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Daring? I think so do I. ”
Just when the contradiction was about to erupt, Nicholas on the opposite side suddenly said, this personable young man, looking at Duan Constant affectionately, seemed to admire a man like Duan Constant.
However, Duan Cheng couldn't stand his eyes, he didn't know if this guy had any special hobbies, which made his good impression of this young man disappear in an instant, not that he didn't know how to be grateful.
At the very least, when Nicholas was insulted by Augustine, this young man still helped him, which made Duan continue to have a good sense of this young man, but although his senses were good, he could not make Duan constantly bend.
Nicholas didn't notice that Duan was constantly changing his senses, and wanted to kiss Duan goodbye when he was leaving, but was naturally rejected by Duan Constant and ruthlessly.
In fact, Duan Jiji also knew that this was just a way for Westerners to say goodbye, but he was really not used to such a way of saying goodbye, and Nicholas and others were stunned, not knowing what Duan Jiji meant.
However, the young man did not blame Duan for being unreasonable, but said in a low voice: "Honorable hunter, can you tell me that day how you hunted these ferocious wolves, I'm afraid only the most daring people can do this!" ”
"Haha!"
Duan constantly heard this young man's words, and immediately laughed out loud, since he came to this place, no one had spoken to him like this, although the other party was just a businessman, but he was still very relieved to hear that someone agreed with his own approach.
However, the two arrogant young men were happy, but the faces of Lester's father and brothers in the back became ugly, and they did not understand what these two men thought, his youngest son and younger brother, who had a perverse temperament and acted lawlessly like a madman, and had always been criticized.
Unexpectedly, today there is a young man who agrees with this madman's approach, and even applauds it, which really makes them not understand.
Nicholas ignored the now embarrassed Marquis and left with his characteristic smile, while Duan Zheng also took sheepskin boots and velvet cloak and walked into Lester's mother's room.
The woman was still lazily leaning on the bed reading, the gray color in her hair was very obvious, Duan kept looking at it for a while, and then said: "That young man named Nicholas is very interesting, although his demeanor is elegant, but he reveals a feeling of being out of place in this world. ”
The woman put down the proviso in her hand, raised her head to look at Duan Zheng, smiled slightly, and said: "He is indeed very different, Nicholas has been educated since he was a child, imitating the life of the aristocracy. However, he loved the violin so much that he gave up his law studies in Paris and sold his books to study with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. ”
However, his father was very opposed to this, and he smashed his violin in anger.
Duan kept hearing this, but he admired this benevolent brother a little, not only apprenticed to Mozart, but also smashed the violin in order to rebel against his father.
However, he also understood why Nicholas's father was strongly opposed to him studying music, and that the musical genius of Mozart, whom he had seen before, had died in poverty, and that musicians at this time were not well-paid professions.
And, most importantly, learning music is not an easy task, at least for a cloth merchant, music is indeed a luxury. (To be continued.) )
