Chapter 0071: The Festive Atmosphere of the Sailing Festival
Before dawn, Carter's butler's voice kept appearing upstairs and downstairs in the castle.
"Tom, cheer up!"
"Thomas, get ready for the old man's festive costume Frack Abière, don't make a mistake at all!"
"Mrs. Mawson, there is dust in the window on the second floor, let the maid wipe it clean as soon as possible, we must not give the impression of laziness to the coming guests. ”
"Oh my God, why do you have to take the oysters out of the kitchen and take them away...... No, no, Irene, absolutely not today!"
"I need to see the water in the castle tank overflow, but Jesse, you don't have to fetch water, John and Parker do. You need to hurry up and patrol all the cordyceps, even if it's a festival, we can't ignore the most important things!"
"Don't take it out to dry it whole, you should break it up, pieces of crushed ice are easier to dry. Carter took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head, he was really busy today, and he still had a lot of valuable crystal cutlery that he hadn't wiped, but he had to explain the trivial matters clearly.
Looking at Jim, the new valet who had just arrived at the castle, he struggled to move the water tank that made ice yesterday to the sun.
He couldn't help but tell the other party that he had to use his brain.
Jim is tall and smart, but he is inexperienced, and when he heard Carter's words, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, I didn't think of this, I'm going to break the ice right now and put it in a few buckets and basins." ”
"Don't spill it, it's all ...... Saltpeter, the lord specially ordered, they are very valuable. ”
"Rest assured, Mr. Carter. ”
Circling around the castle, Carter went up to the second floor just in time to see Thomas carrying Frac Abière into Liszt's bedroom.
He followed the knock and went in.
"Sir, you woke up early today. ”
Liszt, with Thomas's help, donned the clothes he hated, as well as the particularly uncomfortable disc-shaped ruffled collar "raff".
The mood was not very good for a moment: "There is so much movement in the castle, I want to fall asleep, it is a little difficult. ”
Carter suddenly bowed, his expression a little uneasy: "I'm sorry, it was my work mistake that caused you, sir." ”
Liszt was just a little angry when he got up, but when he saw Carter apologize, his anger quickly subsided, and he shouldn't let this loyal old man bear this little implication: "This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Carter, don't blame yourself." Today is the Sailing Festival, and I have to wake up early. ”
Carter breathed a sigh of relief.
Thomas glanced at him with a slanted glance, a little disappointed—he was looking forward to seeing the old man blame the butler.
After getting dressed, Liszt had a brief breakfast, then mounted his dragon horse and prepared to tour the town—it was a festival, and even if only the nobles would celebrate, they would still have fun with the people and enjoy the support and compliments of the people.
By this time, he had seen Galtai, who was also dressed in full costume.
and Marcus, Blair, and Isaiah, who wore more ceremonious attire, and the three of them were not nobles with titles.
"Baron, Galtai sends you festive greetings. ”
"My lord, Marcus sends you a festive greeting. ”
"Lord Baron, Isaiah sends you a festive greeting. ”
"Lord Baron, Blair sends you a festive greeting. ”
The four of them greeted Liszt in turn and meticulously performed aristocratic etiquette.
Liszt likewise responded with aristocratic etiquette: "Happy holidays. ”
This was followed by four of his servant knights, as well as twelve would-be servant knights, who came forward to salute and offer holiday greetings. Finally, the servants of the castle put down their work and offered holiday greetings under the leadership of Carter.
When he took Galtai and others, and the knights, to inspect the town.
On both sides of the road, all sorts of "Lord, XXX sends you a holiday greeting" was constantly heard, with the freedmen touching the ground on one knee and the serfs touching the ground on both knees.
The authority of the nobility was constantly consolidated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this manner.
When the common people have become accustomed to kneeling, the foundations of rule will be unbreakable.
"Good news, sir. While inspecting Tomato Tun, Liszt met Jesse Taomishui, the original assistant to the manservant, who had been promoted to a manservant and could receive a day's salary for 2 copper plates.
"Jesse, what's the good news?"
"I just checked the tomato cordyceps in Tomato Tun and found that the tomato elf worm has been bred. ”
"yes, that's good news. Liszt was glad that the seventh elven worm in the castle had arrived. He led the inspection team directly to the tomato field of John Flatan's house.
The tomato cordyceps tree in the middle is obviously very tall and bears red tomatoes.
On one of the small yellow flowers, a red fat elf insect was lazily basking in the sun. John Flatan watched nervously at the elven worm, he had an obligation to protect the elven worm for the lord, not to be harmed by anything, and not to be contracted by anyone.
Only lieges are eligible to contract elven worms.
Only those with vindictive spirit and magic can establish a contract.
"Your Lord, John Flatan sends you a festive greeting. ”
"Happy Holidays, John. ”
With a brief hello, Liszt walked up to the tomato worm and sprinkled a little jade powder to attract the tomato worm. Then he smeared a little jade powder on his finger and stretched out his finger to the little one. The fingertips were running, the magic and the charm of the jade powder were exerted together, and the tomato worm opened its mouth without hesitation to bite it.
The feeling of heart-to-heart connection flashed by the fact that the tomato worm had made a pact with Liszt.
Galtai looked at the tomato worm with envy, and said with a smile: "Today is really a festive day, the tomato worm is like choosing to be bred today, and I offer you a holiday greeting to Liszt." "If there had been an elf worm in his fiefdom at the beginning, maybe it wouldn't have ended in bankruptcy.
"It's a smart elven worm, I can feel it. Liszt smiled, turned to John Biandan, and said, "John, the tomato field where Cordyceps is located is still cultivated by you, remember not to hurt Cordyceps, it is the most important existence in Tomato Tun." ”
"Rest assured, my lord, John is willing to give his life to protect it!"
He was very excited when he spoke, and the tomato fields near Cordyceps were full of high-yield, high-quality tomatoes, which meant that he could leave enough tomatoes after paying taxes. For him, the affluent life began to take off from the moment Liszt rewarded him with a Narda.
"It's going to get better and better in the future. ”
"I'm going to grow tomatoes for my lord for the rest of my life!"
He watched the patrol team go away, looking at the noble and inviolable back, and his heart couldn't help himself: "May the glory of the knight always be attached to the lord." ”
