Chapter 289: The People Who Left the Banquet
The black carriage drove through the rugged, muddy and dirty streets, and the foul smell constantly wafted into the carriage, making people want to vomit.
"These damn outcasts are making a mess of Lisbon, and the Crown Prince of the Americas is right, these people should be of some use to them instead of begging for crime here."
Viscount Ed and his wife sat in the carriage, looking out of the window of the carriage, and a look of disgust appeared on their faces.
"Today, that wild seed is in the limelight, I really can't imagine that His Highness in the Americas has taken a fancy to this useless guy."
Viscount Ed's chubby wife spoke in a very unkind and disdainful tone.
I have to say that Ed's parents are very strange, the whole family is so 'round', and even the children have inherited this excellent gene.
Retracting his gaze, Viscount Ed looked at his wife.
"In any case, he is also my son, and I have my Eddard's blood in his veins, and he is favored by the prince to do things for him, which is also good for our whole family, so I hope you will stop saying this."
How could Viscount Ed not know what his wife was thinking.
She has always been displeased with her son, and she has long wanted to get rid of him.
Even she has already agreed with herself that as long as the little fat man is an adult, she will be kicked out of the house.
Originally, I also agreed, because the little fat man didn't see any ability at all, and it was better to let him fend for himself than to raise a waste at home.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the little fat man today actually made him a little puzzled.
It seems that he has been underestimating this son.
There was a change in his mind, as his wife could not have noticed.
In her opinion, the threat of this little fat man has increased considerably.
Viscount Ed's solemn words just now can already explain the problem.
"He's just a wild seed, and although he has the blood of your Ed family, don't forget that the other half of his body is a dirty peasant woman."
Viscount Ed didn't want to argue with his wife about it. Because there is no need.
After seeing that her husband ignored her and even closed his eyes, she became even more mad.
"Why, are you going to change your attitude towards that wild seed? But don't forget how we've treated him for so many years, do you think it's enough to do something to make up for it now? ”
Suppressing the panic and anger in her heart, she said word by word to Viscount Ed.
The corners of Viscount Ed's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Yes, his wife is right, he has ignored this son for so many years.
Now all of a sudden, he is getting better to him, and even a fool knows that the Tao is because of Lu or something.
Wouldn't it be too humiliating to do so?
Viscount Ed couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There is nothing wrong with the prince taking a fancy to this son, but no one can say what step his son can do.
That's it alone. He hurried to lick his shoes, so that the rumors were out of the way, and how else he was a man.
Otherwise, take a look.
After all, he is his son, even if the relationship is bad and he mixes well, he can talk to himself.
Soon, Viscount Ed made a decision in his heart.
When his wife saw the change in Viscount Ed's expression, she knew that what she had just said had worked, because she sneered in her heart.
She couldn't know more about her husband's personality.
"If I were you, I'd wait and see. If he really has the ability, it's not too late for you to stick to the past without shame. After all, you are his father, and blood is thicker than water. ”
The fat woman said with a wrong mouth.
At the same time, she decided in her heart that she would drive the little fat man out of the city at night. The province has many long nights and dreams.
She didn't believe that this wild seed in her eyes was as capable as the prince said, maybe the prince was originally a brain-dead.
Hmph, one has always been a waste in the eyes of others, scum. will be regarded by him as a talent, either he is blind or God is blind.
The poor little fat man did not know at this time that he was going to be homeless tonight.
The little fat man Ed at this moment. In the carriage behind him, he was being ridiculed by his brothers and sisters in turn.
However, the little fat man did not fight back, because he knew that it was useless for him to talk back, and he would also provoke a severe beating.
His brothers, in fact, just want him to talk back, and then give them an excuse to do it.
The clever little fat man knows this very well, since this is the case, why should he be fooled.
Although the little fat man didn't know that Lu Dao Huaxia had the saying 'A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late', but he knew that when Lu Dao had no ability, it was a joke to talk about revenge.
He was confident that with his own ability and knowledge, coupled with the prince's appreciation, he would be able to mix well.
In a few years, these brothers of his will only be able to look up to him.
By that time, hehe.
Perhaps, I should find a time to get my mother out, and I want her to see that his son is about to have a chance now, isn't it?
In the heart of the little fat man Ed, he has always been very concerned about his mother.
The two silver pesos he received every month at Viscount Ed's house were given to his mother each time, and he never spent them.
For him, Viscount Ed'e was not his home at all, his home was a thatched hut at the foot of a hill outside Lisbon.
"Hey, waste, what kind of spell did you use to deceive that prince? We're all very curious about this, so why don't you tell us? ”
The little fat man's sisters also joined in the verbal attack on the little fat man.
The little fat man Ed's head was lowered, and no one noticed that there was a deep hatred in his eyes when he lowered his head so that no one could see it.
He originally had a beautiful childhood, although he didn't have a father, his mother loved him very much.
But his father suddenly appeared, and on the pretext that it was inappropriate for the children of the aristocratic family to be exiled, he had to take himself away from his mother.
And in order to have a happier life for herself, her mother endured the distress and gave up herself.
But what she didn't expect in any case was that her life after being brought back by Viscount Ed was not at all like what Viscount Ed said. And as good as his mother imagined.
To Viscount Ed, he is like a dog, or a dog to be exact.
The carriage pulled out of the city of Lisbon and began to drive along the bumpy road towards the estate of Viscount Ed's family on the outskirts.
No one knew that there would be an accident in Viscount Ed's family tonight, and this change made Viscount Ed regret it a lot until he died, and it also made the little fat man's brothers and sisters unable to let go for a lifetime.
If at that time...... If only I could ......
"Tomorrow I will meet His Royal Highness the Prince, today I talked to him about the sugar business, and he promised to supply me with 20,000 tons of sugar every year, exclusive."
In another place, Viscount Meghan and his wife were also talking, and he described his contact with Zhao Hongyu during the day. They all spoke out to their emaciated wives.
"Thankfully, if this business can be successfully negotiated, the situation in the family will be better."
His wife was very happy when she heard this.
"Ha Luha, we will definitely be able to negotiate, and today we have only made a preliminary contact with the intention. And the crown prince is going to build a concession here, and he needs my help, doesn't he? ”
Meghan feels that today is completely her lucky day.
Don't look at his family and Viscount Ed, they have partnered to build two ships to do business at sea, but in fact, the money they earn is not enough for them to spend.
The reason is simple, aristocratic life is too expensive.
For the sake of face, they can't reduce their expenses, so they can only slap their swollen faces and become fat.
Who knows that Viscount Meghan, the top administrator of Lisbon. I already owe 80,000 silver pesos to a big Jewish merchant in Madrid.
The notice of repayment has been issued, and if you don't pay back, you will have to deal with yourself.
The Jewish merchant had a lot of energy and knew many powerful nobles.
And the Spanish royal family also borrowed money from that big businessman.
It's not something that a little nobleman like himself can deal with.
Fortunately, Jewish merchants in this era lent money. Although they are also 'usury', they are really pediatric compared to later generations.
The interest on the loan is 10% and the term is one year.
Is this also usury?
If Zhao Hongyu was here, he would probably die of laughter.
Nine out of thirteen. Ten days is a period, and the interest rate will be raised, and they must not be played to death.
Of course. This is all something that happened when the American gangs ravaged Europe in the future, and now the nobles on the European continent have not been exposed to such inhuman rules.
"Do you know the way, I saw those snow-white sugar, as if I saw a silver coin with white flowers." , Viscount Meghan said to his wife very excitedly.
His wife nodded, "Indeed, that white sugar tastes so good, compared to the kind of sugar we eat now, it's like a gift from heaven." ”
"Yes, this is God's gift to us. With these sugar businesses, I was able to get out of the debt crisis and get my family back on the ground. ", Viscount Meghan said as he looked at his wife seriously. We can also live a richer life, and I don't have to mess around with rich women all day. ”
Speaking of this, Viscount Meghan looked at his wife and looked apologetic.
It turned out that Viscount Meghan was fooling around with those rich women outside for his family.
It's really unbelievable.
But that's just the way it is.
It's like a fantasy to say it.
"Soon, we'll not have to live like this." Viscount Meghan's wife reached over and took his hand and comforted him softly......
Europe, Europe, there are so many things in seventeenth-century Europe that are incomprehensible. (To be continued.) )
