It is said that in Europe, the marriage object that is highly sought after by the children of the aristocracy is neither a young and beautiful unmarried aristocratic lady, nor a rich daughter with a lot of wealth, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty people did not want it, and represented an unlucky widow.

The aristocracy, they basically do not lack money and power, although the food and drink are not as good as China at this time, but compared with ordinary people, it is a heaven and an underground.

Once people have no worries about life, they worry about their family's inheritance and future.

And the heir is their pursuit.

The advent of the Age of Discovery, although it brought a lot of wealth to Western Europe, but accelerated the spread of disease, and all kinds of life-threatening diseases spread throughout Europe.

Therefore, in this era, when a woman gives birth to a child, it is a matter of life and death.

Either died of dystocia, or died of various postpartum diseases such as bedding fever, and the mortality rate was extremely high.

Therefore, the widow who survived, and the widow with a child, was highly likely to continue to bear children, at least more than the young noble ladies.

Moreover, most widows will inherit the wealth of their ex-husbands, so marrying a widow will not only get one person, but also a lot of wealth, killing two birds with one stone.

So, after learning that Laura. After Miss Alexander was widowed with her children, the children of the nobility of London, and indeed England, buzzed around Laura like bees.

For them, the widowed Laura. Miss Alexander, is definitely a top performer.

She not only has long light blue hair, a plump figure, a straight nose, but also white skin and beautiful appearance, and a convex and backward figure, like a ripe peach.

The only fly in the ointment is that she is about five and two feet (one meter seven) tall, much taller than most nobles of this era.

This small shortcoming is not a problem, but more importantly, her father is Farris, who has been trusted by two generations of kings. Alexander, currently President of the House of Commons and the Privy Council, has a lot of power, no worse than those of the great nobles.

Marrying her, she has a future and wealth, and she is directly a winner in life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she will ascend to the sky in one fell swoop.

Therefore, for more than a year, all kinds of noble children have buzzed over like bees seeing flowers, disturbing her peace.

Faris also had a headache for his daughter who asked for help, and in desperation, he took her to the office and used her smart mind to become his own exclusive secretary, handling documents for him, recording appointments and so on.

"Laura, it's been almost two years, aren't you ready to marry again?" Looking at her beautiful daughter, Faris remembered her marriage, and her heart instantly became enlightened, and she persuaded her to repeat the words many times.

"Father, you don't need to worry about this matter, I'm free to be measured, you better deal with this mountain of documents!"

Laura blinked her bright eyes, covered her ears, shook her head in a funny way, and began to refuse directly.

"But I only have one daughter! You're ......."

"Alright, alright, Your Excellency the Speaker, your daughter doesn't need your worries now, the affairs of England are still the most important!"

As soon as Laura heard this, she immediately interrupted and changed the topic.

"You see, His Majesty has asked you to make a decree encouraging shipbuilding, so that the level of ships in England will develop rapidly!"

"And this one is asking the Privy Council to regulate the price of food in England and return it to the normal level of three years ago!"

Laura ripped up a few papers in her hand, and a crisp voice suddenly sounded in the office.

Hearing this edict from the king, Faris's brows furrowed more and more deeply, the wrinkles on his face folded like waves, and a few silver hairs on his head could still be faintly seen.

Seeing this, Laura slowly stopped reading aloud and gently rubbed his shoulders to loosen his muscles.

"Alright, Laura, you go out, I'll take care of it alone!"

Faris perked up, twisted his neck, and said to his beautiful daughter.

"Alright! I'll go out first, you can deal with it slowly! This is also your duty as President of the Privy Council! Farewell, my dear Father! ”

Laura, with her long legs, stepped out of the threshold, and before leaving, she lightly raised her red lips and said to Faris mischievously.

"Ahh

In the office, the sound of writing sounded again, and Faris began to work again.

"Humph! Workaholic! Laura, waving her long legs, walked step by step to the front desk of the Privy Council's office and sat in her own small office.

As soon as he put his hips close to the carved chair, a young secretary in his twenties quietly walked over with a cup of tea that was currently popular on the upper floor.

"Laura, are you thirsty? Come, here's the tea I brought from home, try it! ”

A cup of fragrant and hot porcelain teacup was placed in front of Laura, which made Laura inhale lightly, and she was suddenly refreshed, with a hint of blush on her face.

"No, Devereau, I'm not thirsty yet, besides, I have to go home, you drink slowly!"

Laura looked straight, put on a score, cleaned up a few things on the desk, and refused directly.

"This, well! Go back and rest first! ”

Devero's expression was a little embarrassed, he didn't stand or sit, and finally held back a sentence, his face slightly flushed.

Then, he stomped his foot lightly and turned to leave.

Laura glanced at him, then lowered her head and sorted it out carefully.

The other male secretaries who were ready to be attentive looked eager to try, but suddenly calmed down, their faces darkened, and turned to do their own business.

"Knock knock!" There was a sudden burst of voices in the office, and no one wanted to stop her, nor did they dare to stop her.

Standing up, Laura twisted her thin waist, picked up a light small bag, and then walked to the door, disdainful of the people peeking on the side, and left directly.

In front of Westminster Palace, the carriage belonging to Alexander's family was parked, and the groom sat on the eaves of the carriage, watching his young lady come over, and hurriedly moved a small stool.

"Miss!" The groom nodded innocently.

Laura nodded slightly, and then got into the carriage with her support.

For those suitors, their minds Laura knew very well, and for the first time she was clumsy, she had found a short-lived ghost, and this time she had to be careful.

Thinking about it, she thought of her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and her face couldn't help but show a loving face, and the combination of maternal brilliance and beautiful face could fascinate people.
