The layout of the elven palace is different from other places: a building in the shape of a north and south facing south on the street, and the main building in the middle protrudes a large section to the south. To the south of the palace is an open garden square across the wide road, which can be visited at any time. The elves of Greentown, who left their jobs in the evening and evening, took their families and children, or called friends, spent four yuan at the vendors on the edge of the square to buy a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, salt-baked peanuts, spiced melon seeds and other snacks - this was more than two hundred years ago, and now each pack has risen to ten yuan - strolling in the square, eating and chatting with relatives and friends; if you are willing to spend an extra yuan, you can buy a bottle of herbal tea, or honey water, to quench your thirst, if you get more than ten yuan, then you can buy some fried peanuts, dried fish, Boiled water, but these tourists, mostly take a walk after dinner, and most of them do not have such leisure. Only retired people buy a few side dishes with wine, bring their own wine, and sit and drink slowly with three or five friends.

Samuel is the only elf who brings his own wine and does not buy it. He was of great stature, with a pale complexion, scars between his face and forehead wrinkles, and a neatly combed gray beard. Although he brought wine with him, he did not go to buy food and drinks.

As soon as Samuel arrived in the square, he looked around for familiar faces. As soon as he found an old friend he knew, he immediately sat down on the stone bench, took out the good wine and put it on the stone table, and beckoned everyone to drink it together. If there is no one he knows, he will find a table casually, "Everyone, meeting is fate, let's have a drink together." "If it weren't for the fact that he brought with him all the good wine, and his manners were gentle and erudite, the elves who saw him for the first time would have called the gendarmerie on duty in the square.

As soon as he arrived at the square today, several old men called out to him: "Samuel, you have secretly come out to drink again!"

He didn't answer, but walked over and took out a good bottle of wine and placed it on the stone table, and filled it up with the other elves.

They deliberately shouted again: "You must have secretly gone to the students to make white slips again!"

Samuel's eyes widened and he said, "Why am I playing a white strip, I have to drink secretly?"

"What didn't you drink secretly? I saw you drinking the day before yesterday and was found by your wife and chased and beaten. One of the elves said after finishing the wine that Samuel had poured from the glass.

Samuel blushed and argued, "I was beaten by my wife...... That's the love of husband and wife...... You don't have a wife, you don't understand!"

The green tendons on the forehead of the thousand-year-old single dog who just made fun of Samuel bloomed, and one after another were difficult words, such as "relaxed", "what is home", etc., which caused everyone to laugh.

This corner of the square was filled with cheerful air.

As soon as the laughter ended, several old men immediately stood up, and Elizabeth walked over with Charles.

"Teacher, are you secretly drinking again?" said Elizabeth to Samuel, "aren't you afraid that your wife will know?"

"How would she know if you don't tell me?" Samuel said, snorting.

He glanced at Charles beside Elizabeth and asked, "Are you bringing him back to meet his parents?"

Elizabeth muttered something like "I'll go to my wife tonight" and replied, "This is my apprentice, Charles McGarden." ”

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Samuel Hood. "Charles's well-behaved value at the moment is breaking through the sky.

When she came over just now, Elizabeth told him the identity of the old man.

More than ten years after Queen Victoria said goodbye to Charles's ancestors and queen's ancestors on the battlefield, she asked her right-hand man Samuel to take the first Earl of Maccaden, Joseph Macgardenen, to enclose the maple grove in the north of the chaos at that time, and then Samuel sat in the local area and trained Charles's ancestors for a hundred years.

It can be said that later Charles's family became the most literate and wealthy family in the Northland, rather than a nouveau riche who declined in three generations and was beheaded in five generations, and Samuel's credit cannot be ignored.

In front of this benefactor, Charles's well-behaved reached a new level. He also heard the jokes between the few people just now, and suddenly a bottle of the best wine brought out of the house appeared in his hand, and then handed it to Samuel.

Samuel nodded in satisfaction, then took the bottle from Charles's hand.

"What a good boy. The bottle disappeared in his hand, "I know about your family, don't be too sad, as long as you are still there, your family will definitely prosper again." ”

As soon as the words fell, Samuel left a sentence of "I'll go first" and left.

Charles felt a wave of killing appear behind him, and the next moment he was suddenly lifted.

"Boy, did you give the old man the wine?" Carrying Charles was an old female elf, who was equally tall and strong, and lifted Charles as stress-free as lifting a chicken.

Charles nodded subconsciously, and at the same time he noticed that the crowd of onlookers, including Elizabeth, were laughing and silent.

"I'll settle accounts with you later. She finished and left.

Charles found that instead of being thrown into free fall, Charles landed lightly on the ground.

"Annoy old lady Hood, and you will be blessed. Elizabeth gloated from the sidelines.

On the south side of the square is a tall and large clock tower, on which the minute hand points to the bottom of the "6".

After bidding farewell to the old men who continued to drink in broad daylight, Elizabeth led Charles towards the palace.

Along the way, Elizabeth said to Charles: "Those few people just now are all generals in the army, although they are all retired, but they still have a lot of influence. When you see them in the future, you can be naughty and joke with them, but you must be polite and educated. In their eyes, children can make trouble, but they can't mess around without a bottom line, you know?"

Charles immediately said that he remembered that he had experienced firsthand the power of those retired veteran cadres.

In the last few days of his last life, when he was still surnamed Fang, he helped call an ambulance and give him vouchers for a hot pot restaurant, which indirectly caused the old man he crossed to look unattractive, but it was an old revolutionary who participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising at the age of fourteen. When I saw him for the last time in the hospital ward that day, there were a number of party, government, military, and business students and juniors in the ward, and one of the leaders in charge of construction had inspected Fang and their construction site not long ago.

And in terms of lifespan, Charles estimated that his grave was overgrown, and the guys continued to drink and brag in the square in broad daylight.

Before she knew it, Elizabeth took Charles through the palace and saw the back garden of the palace.
