Chapter 17 It's Time to Think About Farming

Mary. Worthen, she is a beautiful and stubborn girl, from a wealthy family of big gentlemen, married to Ed of a small gentleman's family. Worthen sold his dowry to save the family, and did not leave Ed because of the family's decay. Worthen.

By the time she heard Ed's words, Mary was completely stunned, she never imagined that she would have a chance to return to her old privileged life and possibly become a knight.

Even though this stubborn girl became a mother of two children and went through years of hardship, she never gave up the idea of returning to the upper class.

So, Ed enjoyed the joy of his wedding night on this night, a sense of mastery and conquest rose in Ed's heart for a long time, and he had never been so thoughtful and persistent in doing something.

The smell of in the early morning in London was because the merchants who drove the horses had come to the market to buy and sell their goods, and the drunken men who defecated everywhere, and the poor people did not care about using the streets as toilets...... This one thing made up the filth and mess of the whole of London.

Because of the rain that had just fallen, the disgusting sewage was flowing freely, and the pedestrians on the road walked as if they didn't see it.

And the sewage flows slowly down the gully into the Thames, the mother river of London, and this is the cycle of nature.

After breakfast, Ed began to wander out into the street far from his house with a bulging wallet, pretending to be identical.

Ed saw a stall selling shoes and hats full of delicate clothes, and a butterfly-shaped little girl's shoes with red edges of foundation locked Ed's gaze.

At this time, Ed couldn't help but remember that his eldest daughter was 4 years old, and he hadn't given her a passable gift yet.

It's better to act than to move, Ed seemed to remember the joy of his eldest daughter Ina when she saw the gift, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but crack.

The stall owner was an old man who could read his face, and when he saw Ed wandering in front of the stall, he consciously introduced Ed to him.

"This gentleman, you have a really good eye, this is the most famous lady Aisha in the whole of London, you see how beautiful this color is, this needle and thread, it is the most suitable gift for your daughter or niece......

The bald boss chattered like a swarm of bees surrounding Ed's cerebral cortex.

"Sir! Mr! Stop! I know what you said! Ed couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly told the boss to stop.

"I just want to know how many cute silver coins are needed for these cute little shoes!" Ed's words made the old man a little embarrassed, but adhering to the principle of making money as a businessman, the old man reluctantly said the price.

"Sir, all it takes is a shilling, a shilling to take home these lovely shoes!"

"Oh! Oh, God! Ed was shocked by the boss's shamelessness.

Even if he didn't bring a coin today, he wouldn't have paid such a high price even if he did, which was almost robbery!

"Hey! You goddamn vampire, such a small pair of shoes, you even asked me for a shilling, do you know how much it is? Ed said angrily.

"Hey! Man, did you know this is Mrs. Aisha's handiwork, and a shilling is already cheap, and it's the only thing I have here! The boss didn't keep arguing.

Ed, who was only arguing with the boss, didn't see it, and a sneaky figure was slowly approaching Ed, quietly without a sound.

An orphan, André was adopted by the Church from an early age, and until he was six years old, when the convent where he was staying was confiscated by His Majesty the Great Henry VIII, he learned how to eat with the older children who lived on the streets.

Over the past six years, he has stolen countless wallets, failed and succeeded.

But today this fat sheep looks like a daredevil, and even carries a bulging wallet on the street, don't you know the name of my little Andre on this street?

Hey! It's a newcomer, and you deserve to be unlucky enough to meet me!

Andre cautiously approached Eddard as his heart moved.

Andre looked at the two of them who were constantly bargaining, and secretly put the knife in his small hand on the place of his wallet.

With a slight slash of the knife, the wallet was in Andrei's hand. Before he had time to rejoice, suddenly a pair of big hands grabbed his small hands like huge pliers, and Andre had only one feeling: he was in trouble today!

Don't look at Ed thin, but his strength is not small, carrying Andre like a puppy.

Andre shrunk his neck, not daring to make any movements, like a kitten that had just been caught in the rain, looking pitiful.

"Don't pretend to be pathetic to me, little one!" Ed didn't bother arguing with the boss, so he hurriedly picked up Andre and walked into a small alley.

"I've seen a lot of people like you!" Ed threatened from time to time, "You'd better be honest and obedient!" Otherwise, you do it at your own risk! ”

Andrei didn't expect to run into an old driver, oh no! It's a veteran, and I can't help but feel helpless, why am I so unlucky!

Andrei only felt like a stone being thrown into a corner, so helpless.

I've heard that some people like to children, especially little boys, God, bless me!

"Little one! Tell me, where is your base? Ed suddenly shattered Andrei's illusion and asked another word that made Andre angry.

"You damn it, I won't tell you about our stronghold, you die of this heart!" Andrei hated such traffickers the most, not only selling the girls into brothels, but also selling the young men to nobles and wealthy merchants with special hobbies.

"Little one! You misunderstood, I'm not a human trafficker, the king asked me to take you to the adoption home! Ed felt that the boy in front of him seemed to have misunderstood something, and couldn't help but explain.

"Whoever doesn't understand your tricks, you can't fool me!" André was not in the least impressed by Ed's words.

For the remaining half an hour, no matter how much Ed tried to talk about it, he couldn't impress Andre.

"Alright! I swear in God's name that if I lie to you, my soul will go to hell and be with Satan! In desperation, Ed swore to convince André of himself.

"Alright! I'll trust you for now! Even though the Reformation took place in England, it only transferred the power of the pope to the king, and it did not affect the people's belief in God in the slightest. So after Ed swore by God, Andre believed him a little.

I saw Andre and Ed turn left and right to a dilapidated monastery, dozens of children between the ages of three and fourteen.

Andre smiled happily when he saw this, these are all mine, and the top three are promising!

A month has passed, and the spies of Flying Fish Guard have brought nearly 5,000 orphans with their own talents, which is highly efficient and terrifying.

But there is sweetness and bitterness, no, Mr. Luna is here to complain!

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough food for a month!"

Edward patted his head and couldn't help but sigh, "It's time to start farming!" ”
