Mosan's mansion, located in the east of Djerkhara, is not a very tall house in the surrounding neighborhoods. The distinctly Swadian building was built 200 years ago and was part of the property of Augustus, the lord of Djerber (the old name of Rhodok when it was still part of the Swadian Kingdom). After more than 200 years of renovation and expansion, this mansion that has changed hands several times was finally acquired by Mo Sang, a veteran of the war.

In fact, Moissan's satisfaction with the house was immense, for its interior and furnishings were no worse than the house of any famous nobleman or wealthy merchant in the city. In particular, the annex house rented by Charles and his maids is famous for its luxurious construction and furnishings in the surrounding neighborhood. If it weren't for the fact that Charles himself was a nobleman who didn't have too many stinky shelves, and he was also an officer of the glorious Djerkhara City Guard, Mo San would not have been willing to rent such a good house to outsiders anyway.

"My lord, you went out to buy something so early in the morning!"

After a deliberate, painstaking, and exhausting hour-long day of shopping, Charles finally returned to his lodgings with his belongings. But before he could step into the door of Mosan's house, he heard the old soldier's thunderous shout.

"Oh, didn't I tell little Jessica, if you need any vegetables, just tell me, I'm a bad old man who grows such a big vegetable field, and I can't eat so many things, won't it be a waste if I put it away? You still have to go out and buy it, isn't this just out of sight with me! ”

Charles smiled at him embarrassedly, and raised the burlap bag containing bacon and cheese in Yang's hand: "When I went to buy these things today, I saw that there were vegetables sold in the market, so I bought some along the way, and I didn't mean to see you." During this time, I have to thank you for always helping me take care of my family and bring us food, which makes us feel quite embarrassed. I have only just come to Djerkhara and have nothing to offer, so I have to bring you a bottle of fine wine from the market that has just been shipped from Salander as a token of appreciation. I'll send you to the house later, and you don't want to see it!" ”

Mo Sang knocked the cigarette stick in his hand on the stone steps next to him, and said with a smile: "That's a good feeling, I won't be polite to you if it's a bad old man." I've picked up some fresh greens this morning, and I'll take some with you when you come. Eh, don't refuse, or I won't want your wine. ”

Hearing him say this, Charles could only nod his head, smiled and agreed, and stood aside and followed him to gossip a few more words.

By the time Charles returned to the rented yard, his temporary maid Jessica had already started cooking. Seeing Charles coming in with a large bag of things, she hurriedly brought a glass of water and greeted her: "My lord, you are back." It's really hard for you, let's drink saliva first. You're tired, if you're hungry, give me something, wash your hands first, and the meal will be ready immediately. ”

Charles handed her back the empty cup with a pleasant face, nodded at her contentedly, put it down and went to wash his hands. As he walked, Charles suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face: yes, he really became like a husband and wife, and he didn't know if his idea of taking Jessica to his home was right or wrong.

Thinking of this, Charles turned back a little helplessly, and happened to see Jessica's lamb-like eyes, pure and clear.

Jessica was packing her things, and suddenly noticed that Charles was looking at her, and raised her head and smiled mischievously at Charles like a kitten, as if adding an extra color to the world.

Charles looked at her smile and was slightly stunned, until he saw Jessica blushing and hanging her head a little shyly, and then she realized what kind of stupid thing she had just done. He turned around in a bit of a panic, and walked quickly away from the area where the atmosphere had become a little delicate with an embarrassed expression, looking like that, if it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't be back for the time being.

Jessica watched his tall back slowly disappear into the doorway, covering her red, somewhat hot cheeks with a shy face.

"Stupid, Jessica is stupid! What the hell was I thinking, it was obvious that he led someone to kill Bimo and them, why should I have such a strange idea! ”

The girl shook her head, kicked all the unrealistic ideas out of her cute little head, and crouched down to pick up the fruits of Charles' early morning shopping.

"Eh, this kind of dress, I remember that my eldest brother also has one, it feels so comfortable to the touch......" Jessica put her face on the silk woven dress, and suddenly remembered her relatives who were missing: "Big brother, father, second brother, where are you, Jessica misses you so much......"

Thinking about it, a faint mist covered her eyes, and it took her a while to recover, and she turned into that optimistic look again: "It's okay, Jessica will definitely find you!" In, with the help of Shire, Lord Shire......"

Suddenly, as if she didn't know what she was thinking, she covered her face again with a flushed face, but the shy smile proved that what she thought of was definitely not a bad thing.

"Stupid, you're thinking nonsense again! Lord Charles, he's definitely hungry, and he hasn't packed up his things and gone cook! What a big idiot! Jessica thought to herself as she sped up her hand.

Suddenly, she found a wooden box at the bottom of the burlap bag, and Jessica took it out with some curiosity. Looking back and seeing that there was no one, the cute stuck out her tongue and opened the box with a mischievous face.

"Wow, what a beautiful bracelet! This one...... Is it for me? According to Lord Charles, he had only only arrived in Djerkhara, so of course it was impossible for him to know the other ladies. Well, this bracelet must be for me! ”

Thinking of this, she happily took out the bracelet, put it on her hand, and held it high in front of the sun. The jade bracelet emitted a little brilliant light under the sunlight, reflecting on the girl's surprised and inexplicable face, and the beauty was like a masterpiece of God.

Jessica looked at the bracelet on her hand and thought to her with some intoxication: "How nice it would have been if it had been Lord Charles at that time......
