Chapter 947: Less than three o'clock
The men and women walking in the park give the girl a feeling that she has never experienced before, that is, peace, and liveliness.
As a nobleman, she has seen many very lively banquets, balls and other activities, and the excitement she thinks about at this moment is not the excitement of her previous life, but a peaceful excitement.
There were passers-by everywhere who came for a walk in the evening, and she couldn't call out the names of any of them, some of them nobles or most of them commoners, and they didn't do anything rude, and everyone had a friendly smile on their faces, which seemed different from the adults and the commoners mentioned in the book.
From the clothes they were wearing, their accessories, the expressions on their faces and their relaxed steps, it was clear that they were satisfied with their current lives, although there were many people in the park, no one would disturb her and him, they were obviously around her, but they did not disturb her.
It's a feeling you never get in some private gardens, where there may be some fine gardening, flowers that bloom all year round, everything is beautiful, but it's deserted. There was no one else but one or two or three or five people, and it was like a little castle that was cut off from what was inside and outside the castle.
"I'm going to go to the Royal Academy in the second half of the year, will it be the same there as here?", the girl soon found her interest, and until the age of seventeen she had been receiving an elite education of the nobility in the family estate, the kind of home education that the middle class often called with envy, more than a dozen very famous scholars in society, teaching one or several children alone. Supplemented by some of the ideas instilled in them by the members of the family, this is the elite education of the nobility.
Going to the Royal Academy, in a sense, is like gilding, even the nobility cannot be independent of the trend, the current society is very particular about knowledge and schools, and the students of the Royal Academy themselves are a resource, a resource that students themselves can master. The normal classes of the Royal Academy are all members of the aristocracy, they come from different families, and the connections they make in the academy do not belong to the family's resources, which is why the young nobles are willing to go to school.
Connections, or resources, are always the most lacking thing for every nobleman.
Du Lin thought about it, took the little girl's hand and walked to the bench on the side, the little girl struggled a few times and did not break free, her face was red and her head was slightly lowered and Du Lin took her hand and walked forward step by step. I don't know if the sunset is too beautiful, or the girl's shyness is too tempting, the redness on the girl's face is like the most pink peach just slightly ripe, under the fine fluff, it is a healthy and ruddy pink.
After the two sat down on the bench, Durin did not let go of the girl's hand, and said with a smile, "The Royal Academy is a very interesting place, where you can get in touch with a lot of new things, especially some scientific disciplines, they will let you see very interesting experiments, it is a rare experience. ”
"As for the students, there are a lot of them, ranging from about 300 to 700 people of all ages. ”
The girl looked a little surprised, "So many ......"
More and more wealthy people in the empire want to send their children to aristocratic colleges to receive the influence of aristocratic atmosphere, it would be better if they could meet a few aristocratic friends, in this consciousness, more and more rich people are willing to pay a sky-high fee to send their children to the school that may not learn anything at all.
This also caused a very special phenomenon, some aristocratic students were full of discrimination against those who paid for it, including some teachers, who felt that these people polluted the learning environment of the Royal Academy, and filled the highest intellectual halls of the empire with the smell of copper.
There are also some aristocratic students who have a good relationship with the students of the special talent class, and they are happy to use their aristocratic status to recruit some rich followers, and these people will spend every penny in their pockets for them, just to make their lives more comfortable. When they reach adulthood and inherit certain properties from their families, these students will be able to help them.
It's definitely not a Pure Land, and some of the students in it actually entered it after they came into contact with a more real society, so it's definitely not a Pure Land.
Except for the students who actually got the admission invitation to the Royal Academy by virtue of their own personal ability, there are not many people who actually go to school, and they all have different goals.
If so...... In fact, the purpose of those real students is not pure enough, and the more knowledge they learn to get a diploma, they can get a better job, so as to enter the middle class, or even the upper class.
The two of them were chatting about endless topics while enjoying the last rays of sunshine, and when the sky began to darken, the girl suddenly said, "I thought you would be a very old-fashioned and rigid person, but in fact you are much more interesting than I thought." ”
Durin raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Why do you have such an idea?"
The girl wanted to laugh at the thought of the impression she had made when she first met Doolin, "I almost ignored your age when I saw you sitting with Uncle Maggs that day, I feel that you are very good at talking, there are not many people in the family who can sit and talk with Uncle Mags, I think you may be a little older." ”
Big?
Of course it's big, Du Lin is nine years older than the girl, in some people's words, he is a scumbag, he can actually start with a girl so much younger than himself, but in the eyes of the nobles, age is not a matter of marriage, let alone a trouble to hinder marriage. In history, some princes and ministers are forty or fifty years old, and their wives have died in various accidents and accidents for no reason, so don't they still marry those girls who are only in their teens and twenties to become their wives?
The power of politics and wealth can never be expressed in age, whether good or bad, and if Duhrin was discriminated against because he was young, the guy who made such a stupid mistake would surely be miserable.
Although for the girl, he is indeed a little older, a little .......
Durin continued to play with the girl's hand, and the girl seemed to be used to him doing this, "Lord Maggs is a good man, I need to be grateful to him for ......", looking at the girl's somewhat puzzled gaze, Durin smiled very implicitly, "He did me a great favor and helped me find a beloved girl." ”
Someone once asked, does conscience hurt when you open your eyes and tell nonsense?
Here, Duhrin asks himself and tells everyone, no!
The date between the two is not without restrictions, and first they must go home before it gets dark, because of the tutoring and the curfew...... Well, it's all, and Durin has to go to see Maggs after he sends the girl back. Dating is just a way for Mags to avoid the girl from complaining about him later, let them meet first, and there won't be too many complaints after marriage, after all, as a nobleman, he has enjoyed a good life since birth that others can't enjoy, so he must also give something for what he has obtained, including life and freedom.
Durin chose the Timamont family, so Mags will talk to Durin about the next issue, comparing the problem of Chiguoguo, the distribution of core interests.
