Chapter 34: Abel 2
readx;? The course wasn't as boring as Abel had imagined, thanks to two funny aristocratic young masters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info After a while, it was time to eat, and Mr. Hugo realized the current time like an accurate clock, "The young masters can go to dinner, in the afternoon, someone will teach the young master swordsmanship." ”
"Hopefully I didn't bother everyone. A polite gentleman came in.
"No, Lord Kenneth, I'm getting ready to go. Hugo said.
"It must have been a long morning, haven't you?" said Kenneth, "after all, these are my two sons." ”
"It's not a long time, I think there must be someone who lives more than I do. Hugo said.
"You must be the Abel mentioned by my nephew Noah, since this is Estiel, I don't think I'll look away. "The man named Kenneth saw Abel at a glance, although it was difficult to see it.
Kenneth was dressed like a son, but wearing it on him accentuated the aristocratic imposingness. If you remove the two brothers' beer bellies and elephant legs, maybe they can wear it, at least not like clowns.
"I promised Noah that I would take care of you. Kenneth said, "We can discuss the details later, after dinner." Kenneth has aristocratic manners in every gesture, and the social circle of high society for a long time has made this kind of speaking etiquette in the blood.
"Yes!" said Abel, happily.
"It's an honor, now let's move to the side hall. Kenneth said.
"But we wanted to eat in the room. Bert said.
"yes, we haven't been to the table in a few weeks, and we don't like the way he looks at us if we bump into Hank. Haydn said.
"It's a weird face, scary and weird. ”
"Anyway, we didn't want to go to the side hall to eat. ”
The two complemented each other.
"It's a pity my son, you don't have the power to decide. Kenneth said, "You may be able to eat in your room, but only when I'm away." ”
Eating has always been important to the aristocracy, and Abel doesn't need to learn this to know. There used to be even a rule that all convenient relatives and friends should be called over for dinner, and the table in the hall was longer than the doorpost. Eating is seen as an important social activity, and it is rude to eat alone in any private.
The two brothers were reluctant, but they still went with their father.
"I was too busy during the war. Kenneth chatted to Abel, "Tours have conquered the city of Estile, and all the nobles have moved north. Just when the former nobles and refugees were sleeping together, the two of them were born. Soon I was also called back to the army as a commander. The children have no one to supervise them, their mothers don't know how to teach them, and they haven't learned to read and write until recently. Face or not, this is a disappointing failure. ”
"Why can't we give them a lesson earlier?" Abel wondered.
"Bert and Haydn had only recently settled in Estiel, and had lived with their mother in a small northern town, where they were not poor, but there were no bachelors to teach in the town. ”
The two brothers behind him spoke ill of their father.
"The war ended years ago, why bring them back now?" Abel asked.
"You're asking too many questions, my child. Kenneth said, "There are some things I don't want to say, and you'd better not be interested." ”
"Is it like politics?" Abel asked.
"That's right, it's like politics. Kenneth said.
Abel followed Kenneth into the side hall, separated from the hall by a wall, but the specifications were quite a bit higher. Originally, the high ceiling in the hall was only the height of an ordinary floor in the side hall, which was much narrower in comparison.
"Why don't you dine with Hank Saunders?" Abel asked.
"We have some disagreements. And watch your tongue kid, you have to call him Lord Hank, or Lord Hank. Kenneth said, "You don't want to make that mistake in front of him." ”
The waiter pulled out his chair and invited everyone to sit down, and the ceramic dishes and silver cutlery looked even brighter by this aristocratic service.
"I've never called Young Master Noah, but he doesn't seem to have lost his temper......" Abel muttered.
"My nephew is a tolerant man, maybe too forgiving. Kenneth said, "He was a devout believer in the end of the day and judgment. So when I asked him to let you take the class with my son, he agreed without even thinking about it. ”
A small plate of foie gras with bread was served, and Able moved his knife and fork.
"Why do you want me and ...... Ling Gongzi, how about going to class together?"
"They have just come here and must be very uncomfortable. I want you to be their friend if I can. Kenneth said, "It's going to help me a lot." ”
Able took a bite of a whole piece of foie gras, puffed out his mouth, and said, "Willing to help, Mr. Kenneth." You can trust me: as strong as a wall, as reliable as a shield. ”
This is the motto of the Sanders family, and Abel blurted it out just as he remembered.
"Eat slowly, kids, you'll eat the plate before the main course." Kenneth said with a smile, cutting off a piece of foie gras and eating it.
"What about your wife?" Abel asked, "Why didn't Bert and Haydn's mother come to dine together?"
"She ......," said Kenneth, "because of some mundane things, she remained in the northern town of Gilmers, on the edge of Sindo. I don't think there's a way for her to come over anytime soon. ”
"Oh. Able continued to wave his gold-encrusted fork and tossed the knife aside.
......
"If Mary was here, she would have a way of livening up the atmosphere. Kenneth said, "Why don't you discuss some topics between friends and strengthen your relationship?"
"What did you say?" said Bert, nonchalantly.
"Maybe it starts with your arrogant personality and rude words and deeds. Kenneth said without changing his face, "Or maybe your hobby." ”
"Well, I like the empire 200 years ago. Bert said, "At that time, the orcs were slaves who did rough work. ”
Abel was a little surprised that this kid still knew a little bit of history. Abel looked at Kenneth and felt that he was not going to stop the uncovered mouth, and at this point Abel had already begun to regret the promise he had made.
"I remember that the orcs were given freedom and ran back to their dens, what a model among cowards. Haydn said.
With another mouthful, Able clenched his fists in anger and said, "I'm not a coward, and besides, the freedom of orcs is not given." ”
"I've heard that the Emperor ordered the release of the orcs. Bert said.
"I heard you got fat like this because of stone gonorrhea. Abel said.
Kenneth laughed and didn't speak.
"You lowly orc, we're going to pluck your skin!" said Haydn angrily.
"You'd better both go and look in the mirror and thank God for giving you such an ugly skin, or I'd be happy to decorate the walls of my house with your head. "Abel has stolen a lot of small things in the market, and sometimes he is discovered, and the boss is always scolding the street in the back, and the unconvinced Abel will also return a few words. When it comes to swearing, these two together are not opponents, "Your useless skulls are tired of being used to hold wine." ”
"You...... Your ......" Bert was choked up and speechless.
"Enough, enough. Kenneth smiled and said, "You remind me that I never had to care about etiquette in the army before." But where we are now, I can call it civilized, it is better not to have such rhetoric. Now, the three of you. Go back and write the word 'sorry' 300 times, and then come back and tell me what it means. ”
"But, Mr. Kenneth. Abel said, "You have seen that I did not provoke this." ”
"I'm guessing you have your own reasons, so Bert and Haydn are going to read 'sorry' to you 300 times after they're done. Kenneth said, "I think it must be an acceptable bargaining chip, Mr. Abel." ”
Abel thought about it, anyway, he scolded the two of them speechlessly, and apologized 300 times, so he didn't lose anything.
Abel had seen many people, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Bert and Haydn. No wonder there is a saying that when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.
