Chapter 13: Change
When I woke up, the warm fragrant nephrite was in my arms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What does it feel like?
If it had been before, Count Tang would have jumped out of bed immediately, quickly dressed, and then looked at who was lying next to him, wondered if someone was trying to harm him, and finally looked at the situation whether to apologize or call the police - this is a common method for men in the 21st century.
But now, perhaps, as the knight of Alcoba said, the man who has seen blood is not the same.
At least for now, Count Tang had no intention of getting up from the bed at all, and the thinking circuits in his brain did not consider who the woman lying next to him was, but began to guess what conspiracy of the group of knights was.
This is his own room, which Count Don can be sure of, he didn't cross again, so the woman next to him must have been shoehorned in by the group of undisciplined knights, what does it mean that the group of knights stuffed a woman? What do they want to do?
Then, the little Earl Tang remembered his 'bold words' yesterday: "Give me wine and women!" ”
"Okay...... At least it's always good to be sure that this isn't just another conspiracy of theirs. Count Tang rubbed his forehead with a sigh, confirming that this was a mistake he had made in a moment of confusion, and that it had nothing to do with the group of knights, which meant that the group of fellows had settled down temporarily, which meant that they didn't seem to have forced themselves to give up their rights.
Whether the Count of Little Tang likes to admit it or not, his thinking circuit has now become more and more in line with a standard medieval aristocracy: the most important thing is his own rights, then everything else, and as for women, it is even more at the end.
Speaking of women, after confirming that your rights are safe, it's time to deal with the woman next to you.
Generally speaking, just send her back, it's an honor to be favored by the lord - you don't have to pay the marriage tax when you get married!
Send people back directly, this is the practice of most lords, a few benevolent people will also send a little something, a few pieces of meat and a few catties of food as a reward, if a lord is confused for a while, and he is obsessed with a lowly woman, then it is a big crime!
Nobles can only intermarry with nobles, knights can only intermarry with knights, and commoners can only intermarry with commoners, this is a sacred law system that has been handed down since ancient times! Someone violates the rules of heaven and man!
For example, if the Count of Little Tang is an earl, then the Count of Little Tang should intermarry with the daughter of the count or the daughter of the duke in order not to lose his status, if he marries with the daughter of a baron, although the knights can accept it, they also feel insulted - but if they marry with commoners, then they will suddenly become the laughing stock of the nobles, and you will wait for the knights to 'clear the king's side'.
Even if I take 10,000 steps back, if I don't get married and take in a mistress, this group of knights can't take care of me, right?
That's right, everyone pretends not to see it, and that's one way to do it. But what are you going to do with the child you give birth? Mistresses, that is to say, the children born are illegitimate children, and illegitimate children are not legally recognized, that is, there is no right of inheritance - just look at King William next door, even if he is a man of great talent, from an illegitimate son to a duke and then a king, there are still a large number of people who call him 'mongrel William' to his face.
"That's it, send people back, send a little more food, although it is a bit cruel for this girl, but who made this a damn time!"
That's it, Count Tang thought without any guilt, this dew relationship - he fainted yesterday, whether there is dew or not is not certain, and that's the end of it. Nan Ke had more things to do after a dream, some of the original plans, such as digging ditches, now that he thought about it, he understood what he was wrong, and he had to correct it, how could he have time to play with a little girl What are you the wind and I am the sand game!
Although Count Xiao Tang didn't notice it, the difference between him and before the crossing was getting bigger and bigger, to the point that it couldn't be ignored! However, this change was something that his men, his knights, liked to hear, and even pushed for, so that no one could remind him, so he let the little Count Don run further and further down the road until it came to an end.
After making up his mind, Count Tang clapped his hands and signaled that the woman next to him could wake up—in fact, she had already woken up, but Count Tang didn't wake up, and she didn't dare to move. Then the little Count Tang got dressed under the service of this woman, and in this case the little count Tang did not open his eyes to look at her: this was to prevent embarrassment, and also to make himself ruthless.
After a few commands, a few soldiers and two horsemen left with the woman and half a carriage of food. This woman will be sent to her home safely, and after that she will really have nothing to do with Count Don, whether she is resentful or nostalgic, happy or sad, even life or death, she has no worries.
I always feel a little lost, as if something is missing.
Little Count Don, your festival is gone.
But this thing is really worthless, it can't be eaten or worn, and it takes up a lot of space in vain, so if you drop it, you will drop it, anyway, Earl Tang doesn't plan to pick it up again.
Then there is the gathering of knights - this group of bastard knights, they not only found one for Count Don Jr., but even found a woman for each of themselves, plus they played much more crazy than Count Don yesterday, what a group of Ps at the beginning, what P at the beginning of the group, it is simply not a matter, so they are still lying in the castle hall one by one until now - they didn't go back to the room yesterday, and they don't know how ridiculous.
"Separate the woman from the knight first, and then go and get cold water, knight, a bucket of cold water for each person, until you wake up."
Seeing this unbearable scene, Count Tang couldn't help but have a headache, and then said this to the servants beside him, who took the order, and soon the cold water was brought over and poured all over the heads of the knights.
"Whoa—"
In this part of Ireland, pouring cold water is no joke, and even though it is now spring, the temperature is not very high, and it is not dangerous for the lives of these knights, who are all physically strong and bear-in this unfortunate era, and a cold can kill people in this unfortunate age.
"Who is your grandmother......
The knights who were woken up naturally didn't have a good temper, and stood up scolding, and a few of them even touched the weapons around them and were ready to cut people, but when they saw the cold-faced Earl Tang standing next to them, they were like mice seeing cats, and immediately withered, got dressed and stood aside with a smile.
After all, yesterday they joined forces to force the palace, although they were sure that they were for the good of the earl, but it was not how above board, after all, it was a loss.
When the knights all woke up, and then they got rid of all the ridiculous things they had done yesterday, and sent all the women away, and it was noon to toss and toss, and yesterday they all did heavy physical work such as cutting people and making love, and now they are all hungry and growling, and there is no way, so let's eat first, and talk while eating, which is also a tradition.
Although the scene and atmosphere were a little wrong, it was a formal meal, and it was still very sumptuous—especially the cattle and sheep brought back by the Earl of Don and the knights yesterday, and more chickens and ducks—you ask me how I got here? It must have been hunting, and it had nothing to do with the robbery of that monastery, don't you believe it? Anyway, I believe it.
But this sumptuous meal is good, but the knights are all chewing wax, waiting for Count Tang to turn his face! And Count Xiao Tang was really not surprised, and he spoke with a little bit of goods in his stomach.
"Yesterday's incident, whose idea was it?"
"Brush—"
In unison, the knights looked at the Knights of Alcoba. And the Alcoba knight did not disappoint, and directly stood up and said happily: "I asked them to do it together." ”
"Reason, I need a reason."
"For you, my Earl." The knight of Olcoba said with a flat face: "It's a good thing that you dig a ditch, we all know it, but your approach is too naïve. Thou art the noble Earl, and thou hast never seen the evils of this world since thy childhood: thou hast been accustomed to the hunger of men, and thou hast been merciful in giving out a piece of bread every day, but thou hast not known that the damned peasants are laughing at you as a great fool who does not know how to cherish money! ”
Disbelief, deafening—the little Count Tang never knew that those peasants were judging themselves in this way, didn't they know that they were doing it for their own good?
"So how can I, then, according to your opinion, drive these peasants to do things for me?"
After a long silence, Count Don buried his head in his wrist, unable to see his face clearly, and then asked.
"Hunger and the whip." Without a hint of hesitation, the knight of Alcobar said bluntly: "Hunger drives them to work, and the whip makes them understand what rules are, only then can they figure out their position, and not foolishly laugh at your kindness." ”
“…… yes, I see. There was another moment of silence, and then Count Don said, "Then, after that, it will be your punishment." ”
The knight of Alcobar stood still, as if he were a saint on trial. The knights sitting around him also became nervous, no matter what, the sentence pronounced by Count Don Jr. to the knights of Alcoba also meant his attitude towards the knights involved in this operation, if the sentence was too heavy, such as the death penalty, then they said that they would save the knight of Alcoba.
Ignoring the dark tide surging under the table, Count Tang said directly: "The knight of Alcoba, who intends to rebel, is a great crime, but if he recites his merits, he will be punished for one year, stay and check, and if he commits another crime, he will not be spared!" ”
That's it, raise it high and put it down low, which not only shows the attitude of Count Xiao Tang, but also relaxes the surrounding knights, it's just a year's money, what's the big deal, I don't know how much the benefits of this robbery are, it's really not good, a few brothers will help again, as for the one who stayed and looked at it - this is a symbol of ascension, day and night are next to the lord, isn't this trust?
So the feast was held again, and this time everyone ate happily and with their mouths full of oil and water, and a few knights even compared to martial arts after drinking too much wine, so that this feast had another style.
However, under this festivity, the forehead of the Count of Little Tang is tightly locked from time to time, which also indicates a storm in the near future......
