Then, the eldest princess's little hand felt a little undrawn, because Gao Wen's hand was too big and warm, and her hand was like a small boat in a calm ocean, swinging around.

The two men were thus "confronted" with each other, and Anna looked at her hands in a daze, while Gawain kept his head bowed - he had learned very well from Eudosia in the two days of etiquette, and had mastered the reading and writing of several common Greek words. And Mikhail smiled evilly and watched from the sidelines.

"Your Excellency Eldest Princess, here is the file of the operation of the orphanage during this time, please look at it as soon as possible and seal it." A few monks from the monastery next to him interrupted all this.

"Well, Gawain, you're up, I'll thank you in person right away." At this time, Anna was a little embarrassed and quickly withdrew her gentle little hand, just as the boat in the Golden Horn rushed down the sluice into the canal of the city, out of the sea, but did not wipe her hands, for she herself felt that it was rude to Gawain, although the imperial family of the Purple Palace was accustomed to doing so.

Under the lush façade of the orphanage, Anna, who had finished her inspection, sat down on the shoulder cushion, and Mikhail lowered the curtain in front of her, because there were many pedestrians on the streets along the outer wall, and the eldest princess still needed to hide her identity.

And Gawain stood seven feet outside the curtain," Stephen. Gawain, after all, you have made a deep impression on me, and you can actually be the first good person in the orphanage today, and take out a full five gold pounds, but I am curious, didn't you follow your father's guard to the army and go to Xiaoya? So where does your money come from. ”

"I only hope that the noble eldest princess, who was born in the purple palace, will agree to one of my requests according to your promise." Gawain avoided answering.

"Well, I don't have any reason to go back on that." The eldest princess behind the curtain seems to be very persistent.

"My request is to hope that the eldest princess will agree to my three requests."

"This joke is not funny at all, even a girl of my age will not be fooled, Gawain, you big brute from the northern wilderness!" Anna's tone was a little angry.

"Well, then, for the sake of fairness, we can make a bet on how to earn forty friths in an hour, and if I lose, I will not mention even one request."

"Very well, Mikhail." Anna then said, "Give me forty friths." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Eldest Princess." Mikhail smiled and placed his money bag in Anna's palm.

As a result, Gawain hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, "No, no, no, eldest princess, I used the word 'earn' just now, that is, I gave up all the things that symbolized our identities and relied on our own abilities to accomplish this goal." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mikhail smiled again and took back the money bag.

Anna, who had pinched the air, glared at the emperor's guard, and then her eyes began to brighten, even through the veil. Gawain clearly judged that the adventurous little girl was interested in his proposal, "Very good, am I not as good as you?" You Varyag barbarian, let's try to compare. ”

"Your Excellency, Eldest Princess, please choose what you are best at." Just as Anna was stripped of her fine clothes and beautiful jewelry, Mikhail reminded her again.

Then the maid gave Anna a cloak and cloak of an ordinary family, and even though she chose the trumpet, she still had the eldest princess's hands shrunk into her sleeves, and soon the commoner's boots were put on. Then the eldest princess went ahead, followed by Mikhail and Gawain, and for the sake of justice, the rest of the guards and maids continued to wait at the door of the orphanage.

Anna chose a "holy book transcription house" that provided spiritual food for the citizens, and under the promenade with open steps on all sides, about a dozen young men, in front of their respective copying tables, erected templates, and there they worked hard to copy the Bible and the Church's sermons by hand.

Soon, the person in charge saw a small figure, a little arrogant standing on the top of the steps, and walked over.

"Who do you hire here to transcribe and illustrate?" Anna's crisp voice made many people look back.

"Most of them are law school students who come to earn subsidized salaries." The person in charge saw that it was a small girl, so he replied lazily.

"What's the price, my mother is sick, so I need a medical bill urgently." Anna's tongue struggled a little when she was lying, and Mikhail, who was hiding on the corner of the street, couldn't help but laugh with a "this is fun" expression.

The person in charge also laughed, "If you copy one page of the Bible, I will give you three Fries, but you must know that this group of students only has two copies per page." According to the prescribed illustration, it is ten pieces of frith. This quickly aroused the displeasure of the other students, but Anna turned a deaf ear, walked to the vacant table, supported herself with her hands, and went up until she sat firmly on a high wooden bench, her legs still dangling.

Gawain also held back a laugh, walked to the bottom of the corridor, and there he put his index finger slightly to his nose, watched Anna open the ink tank, and then began to write, Anna wrote very seriously and quickly, but this place was obviously to reduce costs, and there was a lot of text on a page, like countless tadpoles and earthworms.

The sun was setting down, and after a full hour and three points, the tired Anna had finished the ten pages of the book with a pair of pastel paintings, and then proudly handed over the work, and it seemed that forty Fries were about to be obtained.

The person in charge also appreciated Anna's speed, so he came over to check it, and then he picked up the page, looked at the template on the shelf, and frowned rapidly, "Why is what you copied different from the template in many ways?" ”

Gawain below sneered and held his forehead, as if all this had been expected by him.

"That's because the model you provided had many obvious fallacies, and I corrected them in the formal and elegant Greek language." Anna was eloquent.

"But there's a problem with the annotation ranking."

"It was my imitation of the orthodox ancient pagan poetry and rhyme, you must know that this is all vulgar text, but it took me a lot of effort."

"These texts have changed."

"Yes, as I just said, this template is full of vulgar text"

Then, in a laugh, Anna was grabbed by the collar by the person in charge and slipped out, "It seems that your mother's medical expenses will be shaved off a lot!" As she spoke, the annoyed and helpless person in charge shoved eight friths into her hand, "According to the request, I can only give you the salary of a pastel painting, and I will also deduct the cost of paper and ink for two friths." ”

"You are spreading irregular thoughts, and you are actually tampering with the Lord's Word." Anna was still standing on the steps in protest angrily, and at this time, the other students who had copied were laughing, and after paying the results, they received the corresponding salaries, and left one after another.
