Chapter Fifty-Six: Aunt Susan's Work

After a busy night, he only slept for four hours in a hurry, which was a bit less for an 18-year-old young man.

As soon as it was dawn, Dai Lan had to get up for breakfast and then prepare to sign in at Celtic Castle.

Today, Aunt Susan's Scottish breakfast was extraordinarily rich. Under her skillful hands, even ordinary ingredients can be turned into exquisite deliciousness.

Two crispy charred fried eggs, a grilled sausage, half a plate of honey-glazed peas and warm milk.

Dai Lan didn't go into the living room, but he smelled the aroma and aroused a stomach full of worms. I nodded secretly in my heart, the extra half of the silver kronor I paid every month for the meal was indeed worth the money.

Looking at Dai Lan's slightly red eyes, little Rachel secretly smiled at him, and smiled with extra meaning.

After finishing breakfast in a hurry, in order to save time, I hired a carriage to report to the Robertson family, but fortunately, the time was just right.

When he went out of the porter, he saw a burly James walking happily towards him.

"My brother Dai Lan, I have something good to tell you! Hi, how did this go, listless look. Looks like I went to have fun yesterday, right? Seeing Dai Lan's tired look, James greeted him in a manly teasing way.

You know, the most prestigious place in Luther, in addition to the black market for magical items, is a place for fun. There are the prettiest girls in Scotland, the gentlest singing, and there are always sailors and nearby merchants coming and going, and it is especially lively at any time.

Dai Lan rolled his eyes, and reluctantly waved his fist at the guy, who was twice his age, and slammed it James's shoulder, smacking him to the ground.

"Hey, our Blue Knight has had a lot of strength and temper lately." James rubbed his shoulders with a smile.

"By the way, what good did you just say?" Dai Lan asked.

"Damn it, my bad head. I almost forgot to let you interrupt like this. James squeezed his eyebrows and pretended to be an expression, "You have to thank me for being a brother this time!" Aunt Susan's job is done. I'll say that Chef Maxim has finally agreed to add a pastry chef. ”

Dai Lan was overjoyed. Since the last time he knew that Aunt Susan worked in the de Broglie tavern and could only earn a few hard-earned money a day, Dai Lan wanted to find her an errand at the Earl's Court, so he mentioned it to James at that time. Since then, there has been no movement.

Yesterday, I met the secret meeting of the Sain Alliance in the tavern, and found out that it was actually the stronghold of the ** underground organization, and Dai Lan wanted Aunt Susan to withdraw even more. I thought about asking James today, but it turned out that the work was done.

Dai Lan was in a good mood, but asked in a low voice, "How is the treatment?" ”

James scratched the thick beard on his face with one hand and snapped his chest with the other. Syllable. Zuo Xiang: "When the younger brother proposes to speak, I, as the elder brother, of course I will work hard for you." Chef Maxim said that he would receive a pension of five gold louis at a time after retirement, eight silver crowns per month! ”

This is indeed a very tempting contract (note that the British have been thinking about the spirit of contract for a long time). So most of the time big, they use contracts instead of the word work). You know, at the de Broglie tavern, you can only get three silver crowns if you go out early and return late for a month. More than twice as much at once at Earl's Court.

Tasting this matter, Dai Lan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.

It seems that everything is too easy.

The sun had fully risen, and it was time for the lads of Earl's Court to go out for exercise. On the square of the compound, the sound of shouting and the sound of swords "dingding" came and went, which was very imposing.

In the 21st century, Dai Lan was not a material for sword training at all, and he found the lightest short sword forged by the Robertson family, but it was still very difficult to wield, and it was completely unruly to wield.

Dai Lan scolded in his heart: Why do these guys who dance and play guns use such heavy weapons? Wouldn't this Thor Blade on my waist be nice!

Seeing that Dai Lan's appearance was too unruly, the James knight on the anxious side shook his head again and again, smacking his teeth.

After practicing for a while, he was stopped by James Knight, and the two of them went together to greet the eldest lady and asked if they needed to arrange a trip today.

As the sole heir to the family, Emily began to learn from her father and the old housekeeper at the age of 15 to take care of the family's affairs. In the past two years, I am very familiar with various businesses.

When Dayan and James entered Miss Emily's office at Celtic Castle, the head of the reconnaissance group, Griff Knight, was already reporting inside.

Dai Lan found that James, who was jealous and hateful, didn't even look at Griff with his eyes, and was still sulking on the sidelines.

Griff was reporting to the eldest lady on the etiquette regulations of the young master, Prince Fedora. The colorful, slightly provocative and pretentious tone is indeed under-beaten to listen to. Even Dai Lan wanted to stick that Thor blade in Griff's head.

No wonder James is depressed.

Originally, this kind of reception and face-showing work should have been done by the Knights of the Guards. However, in order to confront the leader Jonad, several other family elders deliberately let the Knights of Scout undertake this mission.

The reason is that due to James's incompetence, the last forest distress almost caused the entire family to lose its only heir. In other words, Emily has three strengths and two shortcomings, and the fief on which everyone in the family depends for their livelihood will no longer exist.

Although Emily was firmly on James' side, now that the family elders had made a decision, she couldn't say anything more.

When she saw Dai Lan, Emily had a puzzled look on her face, and she stopped talking several times.

The two big eyes seemed to be a little confused.

However, this state only lasted for a short time, and the eldest lady returned to her cold, rejecting appearance thousands of miles away.

At noon, I accompanied James to drink a few pots of stuffy wine. On the table, Chef Maxim's Haggis and Shrimp Fried Rice are very authentic.

But Dai Lan really couldn't hold on, after all, he slept for less than four hours.

I had to take leave in the afternoon and go back to rest.

I slept comfortably and slept back to the cage, and my physical strength was full.

At dinner, Dayan told Aunt Susan's family about the contract offered by Earl's Court.

Aunt Susan was so surprised that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and after confirming the truth of the matter, she actually shed tears.

Rachel and her brother Jonathan were also excited, jumping and cheering like two little sparrows. Eight silver crowns a month can make them live a decent life and no longer have to worry about their livelihood.

"Thank you, Blue Knight!" Rachel's face was red, and she didn't know how to thank Dai Lan.

"Yes! You have to thank me. The corners of Dai Lan's mouth curled, "Have you forgotten to promise me the Gerk language?" Teach it to me now! ”
