Chapter 33: Little Fortune Fans
"This matter is not over, those people only temporarily suppressed my military exploits, but things have to have a result after all, and I will think of a way in the future, what belongs to us will definitely belong to us. ”
Charles briefly tells Roy and Olive about his conversation with Cardo, and then says that there is still a turning point in the matter.
But Olive shook her head, "Charles, there's nothing wrong with that, I hope you don't join the army......"
"My father was a soldier, and he was away from home for a long time every year, and we were always concerned about his safety, and we prayed to the gods to keep him safe, but in the end we lost his ......"
"Reid is on the Eastern Front, and it's only been a few months since a letter arrives, and I'm really scared that one day I'm going to ...... Received bad news ....."
Olive took Charles' hand and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Charles, don't leave us again, okay? There are only three people left in our family, we don't need the honor, power and status of those families, I just want you to live happily, even if you are as stupid as before...... It's so stupid, I also feel like I have a warm home......"
“........”
Charr's heart was struck by something, in his previous life, he saw too many women complaining that men were unproductive, unmotivated, cowardly, and could not create a better living environment for themselves, as if all the dissatisfaction in life came from the incompetence of men, and men should die like martyrs without regret.
But now Olive pleaded and wished that Charles only needed to live safely, which made Charles feel a strong taste of family affection, and looking at Olive Live's sincere and sincere eyes, he was relieved to agree.
"Olive will live well, I promise!"
"Uh-huh, I believe you Charles!" Hearing Charles' promise, Olive burst into tears and smiled, nodding her little head.
"Okay, let's divide the gold coins, and you'll need the next year's tuition, clothing, and pocket money...... Five hundred louis, the necessary expenses of the family are five hundred louis, Roy has a salary of five hundred louis, and ......"
Charles stacked fifty gold coins on the table, and divided them into turns, and for each one he made, Olive pulled one in front of him, and at last Olive simply pulled them all in front of him.
"This ...... Charles, I'll keep these gold coins, you're too good at spending money, you're more casual than those losers......"
“............”
"No, no, no, I mean...... Charles, you don't have any concept of money, do you know how much livrel a gold louis can be exchanged for? Do you know how many servants can be hired for a gold louis, so you don't know how to divide the money properly......"
Olive looked at the flurry Charles, and quickly changed her explanation, for fear of hurting his self-esteem.
"Well, I really don't know what to do with this money, and it's best for you to keep it. Charles smiled nonchalantly, and shoved the last gold coin in front of him in front of Olive as well.
It turns out that no matter which woman has the attribute of a dragon, she will have the desire to possess it when she sees something gold, and she can only feel at ease when she holds the gold under her claws.
"Oh⊙∀⊙ Olive Olive was a great help when I was in Sbaya, a cavalry squad was a great help, the Bourne men, and I promised them a reward if I returned to Ferente......
"Byrne, isn't he your new knight, why do you want to pay him?
Olive quickly grabbed the pile of gold coins in front of her with her arms, and asked with some reproach.
"Of course I don't know where to go, you know, I used to ...... Somewhat silly, then ...... They died a lot of people for me......"
Charles recounted the process of Bourne and others escorting him to escape, focusing on the plot of Kurohair, Vic and others who generously went to their deaths, and said nothing about his behavior outside the small canyon.
Before Charles could finish speaking, Olive was already crying, and she choked up and said, "They are so brave, they are fearless warriors......"
"This ...... I promised them...... Fifty thousand livres of honorarium......"
“............”
Olive widened her eyes, and after a moment, her mouth froze, and she counted twenty-one stacks from the pile of gold coins in front of her, and counted carefully for a long time with a bitter face, and then reduced seventeen from one of them, and pushed them to the middle of the table with great reluctance.
Charles was much more skilled in mathematics than Olive, and instantly estimated that one gold louis was equal to twenty-four livres of silver, and fifty thousand livres could be exchanged for more than two thousand gold louis.
"Actually, I'm only going to give them some of them first, and then I'll give them the rest when we get rich. ”
"How can that work? Charles, we are not those nobles who have no conscience, no matter how difficult we are, we can't be untrustworthy, they have died so many people, their families must be sad......"
In the blink of an eye, Oliver gave more than half of the gold coins, and although Olive looked as distressed as a little money fan, she still shook her head like a rattle to reject Charles's proposal.
This move made Charles look at his sister more pleasing to the eye, she was a little money-loving but not stingy, a little shrewd but kind, and she already had an atmospheric style at a young age.
"How can I repay the debt? But isn't our family short of money now? When we return to the royal capital, there will definitely be a lot of places to spend money, so we will give them the pension first, and I will pay off the rest as soon as possible." But for some reason, Charles wanted to stick with his decision.
Olive blinked, as if she had thought of something, and her expression suddenly became relieved, "Mmmm, Charles, you're right, after returning to the royal capital, you have to marry Sister Fani as soon as possible, there are too many places to spend money, so let's do it! ”
“............”
Charles tried to say, "That's not what I meow," but he didn't say it, and Olive beckoned Lola and her maid to come in and put the gold in the box.
"That, Olive Live, you ..... Shouldn't you leave me some, I don't have a copper coin on my ......."
Seeing that the three women cleaned up the gold coins on the table with three strokes and five divided by two, and did not leave a single gold coin for Charles, the "Lord Earl" who was ignored finally couldn't help it.
"Charles, you are the earl, alas, where does the earl have his own money? Roy will arrange everything for you. ”
Olive seemed surprised that Charles would ask for money, her big aqua blue eyes flickering and looking innocent, but Charles always felt that she was fooling herself.
"No, how can a man have no money on him?" said Charles, holding the money box and insisting on it.
"That'...... You have to save some money, don't just let someone borrow it......" Olive finally relented, and instead of opening the box to Charles, she took out a delicate money bag from her body and handed it to Charles.
After coming to this world, Charles finally had his own money, and when Olive and the others went out, he counted them carefully, and it was twelve gold louis, and some large and small silver coins.
"Alas, it seems that the family is really poor, and Olive only has this little money on her. ”
"Well, these coins are in good condition, and you've seen the shadow of modern stamping technology, which is really a strange world. ”
Charles played with a gold Louis, looking at the clear portrait of King Louis on it, with doubts and curiosity.
