Chapter XXV. Arrangement

"The reason why I decided to wander is because my father is not young anymore! I don't know when I will be called by the Lord to leave me. And I've always wanted to see the world outside of Southamptonshire! So I chose to come out now! Grenville sighed, and his eyes burned again.

"I plan to spend the next three years wandering around England and seeing a lot of things, and then I will go back to my hometown to inherit my father's fiefdom."

Edward didn't expect to have such a traveler in the Middle Ages, but isn't that a bit shabby now.

I saw that Grenville, who had taken a bath, changed into a dress, and the whole person looked heroic and extraordinary, and he was extremely male and god-like.

It's just that the cuffs that have revealed small holes have betrayed his current embarrassment.

"Mr. Knight, what are you going to do now......" Edward pointed out a little embarrassed, and could only remind tactfully.

"Uh, how do you say that?" Grenville seemed to know his current awkward position, "There are always some guys in England who like to take it for themselves!" ”

"And what about your entourage?" Edward then asked.

"Of course! There are also some guys in England who like to grab if they can't get it! Grenville shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and smiled you know.

"Huh! Sir, you have a good sense of humor! ”

"Really? I don't think I'm a humorous person, on the contrary, I feel like a lonely person! Grenville said self-deprecatingly, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Edward didn't know how to proceed, but his level of coping and coherence was good, unlike uneducated people.

Moreover, the palms of both hands have a thick layer of calluses, and the inner surface of the thumb is also cocooned, and the strangulation marks are very obvious, which is caused by long-term bow pulling. He was supposed to be a knight.

For a long time, there were few opportunities for people to get an education, and there were only two universities in the whole of England, the University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge.

William Thomas at the time described the university as "children of the humbled are sent to study in order to acquire the knowledge on which they can live." ”

This man was a favorite of Henry VIII. From his remarks, it can be seen that the status of university education in England at that time can be seen, so the Middle Ages can be imagined.

In the Middle Ages, the education tradition of the English aristocracy still inherited the knightly education, and the training content was mainly military skills, and there was a lack of book knowledge. The children of the aristocracy also generally paid more attention to fighting and killing than to reading, writing and writing. And a knight with a bit of a temperament like Grenville is generally the existence of phoenix horns.

Throughout the Middle Ages, the English aristocracy and gentry despised education, and they could not even write their names. And even in the time of Henry VIII at the time of the Tudors, there were not many squires who went to school; By the time of Elizabeth I, there were still Privy Council nobles who could not sign their names on official documents.

In the 16th century, English society began to transform, from a feudal economy to a capitalist economy, and some gentry adapted to the society of the time, and were able to enter the lower house of parliament and improve their political status. The original knightly education could not face this transformation.

At that time, not only the demand for knowledge from overseas colonization, but also the influence of the Renaissance, cultural knowledge began to be secularized, and the aristocracy realized that the more learned were higher...... There are also various reasons for being wordy.

It was only by this time that the aristocratic education in England was transformed, and more and more children of nobles and gentry were sent to university.

In fact, it was the rise of university education in Britain that created the foundation for Britain to maintain its huge colonial rule, which played an important role in Britain's emergence as a maritime power. (Britain says: I started late, but I ran fast!) )

"Your Excellency! Don't know which great family you come from? Grenville looked at Edward curiously and asked politely.

He must have come from a big family with a noble status, and at a young age, he spoke clearly and clearly, and there was a hint of superiority in his tone, he must be a big man, Grenville couldn't help but guess in his heart.

"Oh! Nothing, I just belong to Tudor with His Majesty, and my family is nothing more than a branch! Edward lied without stammering, and said it casually, with no trace of trilling or nervousness in his tone.

Even if he had expected Edward's background to be very strong, he could still feel the weight of his power and status in Edward's understatement.

"Oh! Oh, God! It turns out that you come from the great Tudor royal family, please forgive me for being rude! Grenville's tone was already tinged with a hint of respect and trill, and it was clear that the news had given him a lot of excitement.

"Oh my God! What did I see, a member of the royal family! Edward's fake identity made Grenville's breathing a little nervous.

The identity of the branch of Edward's royal family was not important, but it was different in England. It is well known that the current king, Edward VI, is in weak health and will die young.

At this point, his clan may have an advantage in the race for the throne. After all, in the conservative country of England, a female succession to the throne is an unacceptable thing for those old-fashioned nobles, and it is the result of helplessness when there is no choice.

If he fights, it is not impossible to sit on that coveted throne. Forget it, what's my business, I'm just a passerby!

Grenville shook his long hair, which had not yet dried completely, and smiled bitterly at himself with a self-deprecating wry smile on his face.

Grenville's thoughts were only for a moment, and only he knew it, and Edward naturally couldn't know it.

However, Edward is also aware of his body, and with the increase of daily activities, coupled with Edward's self-exercise, he eats beef venison every day to make up for it, and gradually improves a lot. But the long-lasting impression in people's hearts can't be changed.

"Mr. Knight, take a break! I see you're tired too! Edward saw that his face was a little pale, and immediately beckoned to Lucy, who was waiting on the side, "Lucy, you clean up a room for Knight Richard!" ”

"Mr. Richard! My maid will clean up a room for you to rest! Edward turned to Grenville.

"Thank you for your arrangement, Your Excellency the Baron!" Grenville's tone was much more respectful than when he came, "I think your kindness will spread throughout England!" ”

Is this a hint that he will help me promote it for free? Hehe, whatever, there is no such person anyway.
