Coming out of the palace, Chandler walked side by side with Sir George, chatting about the currency reform.

Of course, although the central bank is the boss of all banks, for now, the Royal Bank of England is the largest commercial bank in England, and the central bank also uses the channels of the Bank of England to recycle and issue new money.

It is time to put away your arrogance.

After the two left the palace with a smile and a smile, they each rode in a carriage and went home.

As soon as he got into the carriage, the smile on Adler's face immediately retracted, and his face was like that of his dead mother.

The groom seemed to see that his master was in a bad mood, and he stopped talking, and drove the carriage home in silence.

"Go and rest!" Adler gave a word to his groom and walked into the house with a gloomy face.

After watching the footsteps of his master, the groom drove the carriage to the back door, opened the small door, and went into the backyard.

"Master, you're back! Thank you for your hard work today! As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old hurriedly ran over, brought a bowl of water in front of him, and took the reins of the horse by the way, and unloaded the horse and the carriage.

He took the horses to the stables, and took some bales of hay into them, and let them eat them happily.

The groom thumped his arm, sat down in his chair, drank water, and watched the boy go about his work.

"Don't tighten the reins too tightly!" "Tap, tap!" "Don't feed too much, there's still in the middle of the night!"

Looking at the figure of his apprentice, although the horseman had a scolding look on his face, he was very satisfied in his heart.

This apprentice is still a little non-standard in his actions, but he usually works quickly, knows how to love and respect people, and his character is still good.

"Alan, after you're done, I'm going to make a cup of tea for Mr. and add more sugar, he looks like he's in a bad mood!"

The groom looked at Allen's busy figure and couldn't help but remind.

At present, in the entire Todd family, the male owner Adler is the most important target to be treated, especially for a teenager like Allen who doesn't want to be mediocre and Feihuang Pengda, who needs to be pleased.

So, his heart moved, and he mentioned it.

"Yes, master, I see!" Alan carried the hay to the manger, turned his head, and said to the wrinkled groom.

"You know, my husband is the governor of the Bank of England, you are still young, you have only been in our house for more than two months, and you need to behave well!"

The groom looked at Alan's immature face, watched him walk away, and said earnestly.

"Got it, master!" Alan turned around and persuaded him: "You should also rest, after a busy day, it's not that you don't know that your legs are a little bad!" ”

Alan silently took his words to heart, and walked slowly to the antechamber, his exact identity as Todd's servant.

In England, except for those of the nobility, all the servants of the new families were hired and no longer hereditary.

And for those who aspire to carry forward the family, the hired servants will basically choose young people and cultivate loyalty from an early age.

Alan is like this, he is hired by the Todd family, he has food and lodging every month, and a salary of one shilling, and the treatment is really good.

But he was not willing to be a little servant, so he learned to drive, learn to make tea, and learn everything he could learn, so as to make himself a master.

He walked slowly to the living room, first took out the boiling hot water from the kitchen, then took out the precious tea leaves, plus salt, sugar, cinnamon and other spices, until the whole teapot was unrecognizable, then took out the teapot and walked to the living room.

At this time, seven or eight people had gathered in the reception hall, including the hostess of the Todd family, all of whom were red-faced, as if they were quarrelling.

Allen's arrival finally made them pause for a while.

Alan took advantage of this time to fill the teacups beside everyone one by one, and then stood aside very sensibly and waited quietly.

"Adler, you say, what madness is this king going to want us to convert to Anglicanism!"

A young man in his twenties, with thin eyebrows and thin lips, sitting at Adler's lower left, complained fiercely to his brother-in-law.

"Yes! Adler, faith cannot be abandoned in any way, he is more important than life, it is necessary for God to save us in the future! ”

To his lower right, a man in his forties with a bearded face, dissatisfied with Adler's conversion, accused.

"Although there is an element of persecution, you should not give in, and the submission to that group of hypocrites is the greatest shame for us of the best peoples!"

Saying this, the man became more and more excited, he pointed at Adler's nose, his tone became heavier and heavier, and he even had the urge to hit him.

"Uncle, it's not Adler's fault, if you want to blame it, it's all my fault!" Adler's wife looked at the middle-aged man with red and swollen eyes and said softly.

"It's all my fault that I and the two children dragged him down, otherwise, he would never have succumbed to that little king!"

Seeing that the topic was a little off, Adler's younger brother Bieber was a little anxious, and hurriedly interjected: "Don't discuss Adler's conversion anymore, let's think about how to deal with the little king's request!" ”

"Convert, or go back to the Netherlands, that's our choice at the moment!"

"No, you can't convert!" "We're not Adler!" "It is better to go to the guillotine than to change our faith!" "You can't learn from Adler!" …………

Seven or eight people were talking louder and louder, and his own name was still involved in the words from time to time, and Adler was extremely uncomfortable and distressed.

"Well, it's useless to discuss it!" Adler stood up directly, stood in front of these relatives, his eyes widened, looking at these relatives in front of him, he scolded loudly:

"Next, this multiple-choice question is on you, don't involve me, think about it today, and give me an answer tomorrow.

Now, you're good to go! ”

In the last sentence, Adler really shouted out in his voice, which made these relatives stunned.

They didn't expect that the man who had been cowering all along, suddenly became powerful, which surprised them.

Just as they were about to reply, Adler glared at them fiercely, knocking them out of their minds.

Seeing the relatives slowly leaving, Adler got up and sat down, his chest rising and falling.

He finally understood that the shame of his conversion a few years ago had made them more and more presumptuous, and they kicked their noses in the face one by one, forgetting that if it weren't for him, they would all be being collected for their debts in the Netherlands?

At this time, Allen, who was standing on the side, lowered his head and heard this big scene.

When it was time to feed the horses at night, he crept up to the stable and threw a piece of paper out of the wall.
