There were three knocks on the door, and Mancini hurried into Fachetti's office, and after saluting, he said, "President, just now the young master took his personal secretary out of the city. ”

Fachetti, who had a grim face, asked without changing his face: "In which direction did they go?"

Mancini replied: "They went to the southeast. ”

"To the southeast, there's the city of Florence. Fachetti said, "Leave them alone, besides, their attendance today counts as absenteeism." ”

Mancini asked a little hesitantly, "President, do you really want to count absenteeism?"

"Count!" Fachetti said solemnly, "Since Meaza has accepted this position, then he must follow the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Seeing that Facchetti was resolute, Mancini put out his desire to intercede for the vice president, who had just taken office yesterday.

A relatively ordinary carriage was speeding down the dirt road, and the two people in the carriage were staring wide-eyed.

According to the general rhythm, after knowing each other for so many years, someone should take Artoria into the harem, even if it can't be used yet, then you have to collect it and stamp it first. And when the two are alone in the carriage, they tend to do things that readers like to see.

However, at this time, the two people in the carriage were doing something that made many people extremely unhappy and even very angry.

"Looks like it's going to take a beating. ”

"Alas...... Seconded. ”

"You're so used to her. ”

"No, it's because you're usually too strict that she has a rebellious mentality. ”

Both of them held a thin layer of parchment in their hands, the result of repeatedly washing the parchment with a chemical and sanding off the handwriting so that it could be reused.

For content that does not need to be stored for a long time, such as monthly exam papers and homework books, it is enough to use second-hand or even a few hands of parchment, and it is impossible to use expensive new parchment.

Charles brought Mordred straight from the school building, and Mordred's bag was kept in his storage ring.

Taking advantage of this time, Artoria checks Mordred's homework as a parent.

Charles initially refused, but Artoria had the right to do so.

Then Charles didn't want to go along with it, and as a result, Mordred's disastrous monthly exam papers were turned out, and he couldn't sit still.

Looking at the content of this test paper, Charles is also very troubled, these test papers are all subjective questions, but Mordred's answer is very simple, many obvious knowledge points are not written, and it can be seen from the handwriting that she was absent-minded when answering the questions.

"There's something wrong with her attitude. Charles said, "It's time to talk to her." ”

Artoria nodded solemnly, and she flipped through a class notebook in her bag.

As a result, I didn't know if I didn't know it, and when I flipped it, the dull hair on Artoria's head suddenly straightened, and even put up the light blue sunhat she was wearing on her head.

"See for yourself. Artoria murderously flipped open the notebook and handed it to Charles.

Charles took it and glanced at it, and suddenly cold sweat broke out.

He slipped the notebook back into his bag, pretending not to see Mordred's plan to marry his mother.

But he could not pass it off as if he had not seen the plan to run away from home, and Mordred planned to quietly run away with a caravan when he had saved enough money, and then hide in the county of Maccaden.

In the end, Charles could only sigh, and he said: "Otherwise, let's see how the relationship between Mordred and the old lady Rosanna is, and if the relationship is good, let the old lady discipline her." ”

"It is clear from Facchetti and Meazza that old lady Rosanna is still good at her methods, and that her experience in this area is better than ours. ”

Artoria nodded helplessly, it turned out that she was okay with other people's bear children, but not at raising her own children.

She lowered her expression and restored the contents of Mordred's schoolbag to its original position, not showing that the bag had been opened, and finally asked Charles to put it away.

At this point, the carriage was first uphill and then quickly turned downhill again.

Artoria then lifted the soundproofing in the carriage and said to the driver, "Stop by the bridge." ”

The carriage was an intercity public carriage rented from the city of Milan, and the driver did not look very good when he saw that they had stopped halfway, but Charles's face turned cloudy after giving him the full fare to run to Florence, and he drove the carriage to Florence, where he was ready to pick up the returning guests.

A gentle breeze blew and the cool moisture made Charles feel comfortable in the hot summer.

The place where they got off the car was next to a small river, more than 30 meters wide on the surface of the river sparkling, standing on the river, you could see the aquatic plants at the bottom, the fat fish swimming, and the shrimp and crabs hidden in the aquatic plants.

A stone arch bridge crossed the river, and a fleet of ships loaded with boxes was sailing in the direction of the city of Milan.

Behind the flotilla was a small pleasure boat, beautifully crafted, with silk parasols hanging from it, under which several gorgeously dressed young men and women were chatting, and a young girl in a white dress was sitting on the boat, the hem of which was up to her knees, and she was playing with a pair of white jade feet.

Looking downstream of the creek, you can see the city in the distance.

Artoria wore a simple dress in light blue, a visor made of dyed wheat stalks, a parasol embroidered with lace on her shoulders, and a light veil dangling from the brim of the hat fluttering in the wind.

She said to Charles, "Let's walk along the river." ”

On both sides of the river, there is a place about ten or twenty meters wide, and there are deliberately left grass, planted with a lot of flowers, and some stones for people to rest.

There are also many very old trees planted on the edge of the meadow, and the canopy of the trees is like an umbrella, providing comfortable shade for people resting on the grass.

In front, a family was picing by the river, and a nervous servant was following a child running around, fearing that he would fall into the water.

Artoria walked in the shade of the tree, as if counting the number of large trees, and then she stopped in front of a tall tree, pressed one hand on the trunk, looked up at the dense canopy, and whispered, "I didn't expect you to grow so big." ”

Charles asked behind her, "You know each other?"

Artoria nodded and said, "I planted it." ”

Then she pointed to another tree next to her and said, "He planted it." ”

Charles nodded silently.

Artoria stood under the tree for a moment, then continued on her way.

She still remembers planting the trees and from time to time remembers the companions who planted them together.

Soon after, she walked up to a big tree, her expression suddenly gritted her teeth, and she said to Charles, "This tree was planted by Philip." ”

Charles walked over curiously, then reached out and smacked the trunk twice.

Artoria pointed to a few trees next to her and said, "That's what Catherine and Victoria planted, and this is where I first met them." ”

"It was still wild at first, there was no river, and it was Philippe who helped the Duchy of Milan design the network of canals that connected the cities. ”

"We happened to be passing through here at the time, and we were asked by Philip to help. ”

It was the first time Charles had heard of this history, and then a premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, I am afraid that his ancestors had the idea of building the "Pendragon Canal".

Sure enough, Artoria said hatefully: "At that time, the ground in this place was full of huge stones......"

Charles could only say on the sidelines: "Labor is the most glorious." ”

Artoria told the story of the past as she walked in the direction of the city of Florence.

"At the time, Philip and Catherine were in their early thirties, and Victoria was constantly talking to Catherine that her father, the Demon Emperor Ivan the Terrible at the time, had sent a message that the two of them should have children. ”

Ekaterina said that they had been running around for more than ten years, and when they had children from time to time, they planned to wait until they settled down in a few years. ”

"You know what happened next. ”

The historical gossip made Charles embarrassed, but Artoria's next sentence made him uneasy.

Artoria asked, "Do you want to know how Victoria became pregnant with Elizabeth?"

Charles hurriedly blocked his ears with his fingers and shook his head at the same time, "I don't want to, I really don't want to, don't tell me." ”

Some things are that the more you know, the faster you die.

Artoria pulled away Charles's ear-gagging hand with her free hand and said, "It was Victoria who took the initiative." ”

Charles's face darkened at this moment, and then he noticed that Artoria was looking at him with bad intentions.

The two walked a few hundred meters when a boulder on the bank of the river caught Charles' attention.

The direction of the boulder facing the shore was normal, but the direction facing the river was as neat as water tofu that had been cut with a steel knife.

Charles looked at Artoria, who nodded helplessly.

Then he continued the topic and asked, "So is Philip a traverser?"

Artoria didn't answer directly, she reached out and touched Charles's head earlier, and said, "You'll know this question later." ”
