Chapter 60: The Marriage of the Eldest Lady (I)

With the careful teaching of the little landlord Rachel, Dai Lan's Gairk basically does not affect reading. He and Murray translated 90% of the content of the "Selected Tang Poems" little by little.

The magic part in the middle, Dai Lan didn't know anything. But for the history of the Seon Alliance, as well as the later part of the alchemy, it is already familiar to me.

Right now, Dai Lan still lacks an alchemy room.

The standard alchemy room is generally a confined space five meters square, and the conditions of constant temperature are ensured as much as possible. Several alchemy furnaces with different air pressures are placed inside, which can reach different temperature points.

Wealthy families who are obsessed with magic and alchemy will also use carbon and boiling water to control the humidity in the room to float within 5%. You know, the best pill to restore magic cells needs to be 70% humid!

But Dai Lan didn't have any of them. He didn't have the money to spend on this kind of magic lab.

Besides, refining medicine, on the surface, firewood is burned under the stove, which is actually equivalent to burning money......

Dai Lan told himself again and again that if he gained a firm foothold in the Robertson family, he would definitely get an alchemy room out and test whether the content recorded in the book was true and effective.

There is no need to learn the language of Gilke, but little Rachel has lost a lot. This little girl with a cheerful personality and a smile on her face all day long will inadvertently climb a little sad.

Dai Lan always attends endless meetings during the day to welcome her cousin, and gradually ignores this cute little landlord.

It's Friday. Miss Emily's cousin, Fedora. Prince Tudor is coming next Monday with the Magical Talent Test Stone.

If there is something that is not well prepared, and this person who covers the sky with one hand in Scotland is slow, the little Robertson family will not be able to eat and walk around.

No, early in the morning, there is going to be a last high-level family meeting, and Old Lord Jonad has to personally go through the reception process to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

After eating the breakfast prepared by little Rachel, Dai Lan and Aunt Susan took a carriage to Celtic Castle to report for duty.

Along the way, Aunt Susan's gratitude to Dai Lan is indispensable, you must know that you can get an errand in the Robertson family, not to mention the money, you can earn enough just to save face!

When Dai Lan came to the conference hall, basically the high-ranking members of the family had arrived. Count Jonad, the three elders led by Galero, the leader of the battle regiment, Billy, the knight of glory, the head of the Guardian Regiment, and the head of the intelligence regiment, Griff.

Of course, the eldest lady Emily is naturally indispensable.

She wore a white bud today. Silk-knit tight-fitting jacket and violet dress, sitting upright next to his father's head. The face is still that cold look, if it weren't for the long eyelashes beating regularly, it really makes people think that it is a work of art carved by ice and snow.

Dai Lan was the last to come in, and he didn't blush, but walked into the conference hall with a big grin, pulled up a chair and sat at the end of the long table.

Every meeting was boring, and Dai Lan didn't bother to listen, he kept recalling the content of "Selected Tang Poems".

The magic in there, far and near. Sometimes, it seems to be separated by a layer of window paper, but it can't be pierced.

After a long silence, the patriarch of the family, Old Lord Jonad, spoke, and he asked, "My Griff Knight, this time it has been really hard for you. It is really difficult for you that such a big thing as Prince Fedora's visit is pressed on you alone. ”

Griff is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, how can he miss a good time to perform at this time.

He stood up in sincere trepidation and bowed deeply to the old lord and several elders: "Oh, my dear Lord Earl. To be able to serve our Robertson family and the great Scottish royal family is the honor of my life! ”

Dai Lan listened to his stomach and peeked at the rough man of James on the next side. I saw that his face was flushed, and he kept secretly thinking about his luck but had nowhere to vent.

Dai Lan smiled knowingly, the hero sees the same thing!

"Knight Griff, are the guards, food, and lodging ready for the Prince? Don't be sloppy! Count Jonad asked.

"Rest assured, my dear lord. Our Robertson boys are all gearing up to show themselves! Let the Prince of Tudor see that in the Kingdom of Scotland, the Robertson family can be counted. ”

Although a few old fellows knew that the family's status in Scotland was simply not worth mentioning, if it weren't for the face of the Prince of Tudor, the right to produce iron swords would have been taken back by the king long ago. However, when I heard Griff put gold on their faces, my heart was beautiful.

"Sir, you also know that Chef Maxim is the best in the entire British Empire. He's promised me that he's going to come up with the latest summer recipes at this welcome dinner, and there's no way he's going wrong. Griff was full of confidence, and casually glanced at James Knight, his eyes full of contempt. Then he said: "The hanging garden of our Celtic Castle began to expand as early as half a year ago, and it was completed half a month ago. That's why it's this reception mission. ”

Count Jonad nodded in satisfaction, and gently patted the table in front of Emily with his right hand: "My Emily, when my old bones are in the ground, Knight Griff will be your good helper." ”

Emily's cold face turned slightly to Griff, raised the corners of her mouth, and said lightly, "Well done, my knight." ”

Griff suppressed the tremor in his heart, his lips pursed, but he couldn't say a word.

As the backbone of the three elders, the Knight of Glory Galero cleared his throat at this time, stroked his two sparse beards, and said meaningfully: "Patriarch Jonad, I don't think I can take advantage of this visit of the prince to discuss Emily's marriage with him?" ”

Hearing this, Emily frowned, but didn't say anything.

Dai Lan was not surprised. In medieval Europe, in order to consolidate the power of the royal family, intermarriage within the royal family was extremely common. It is not uncommon to see an English princess marrying a Greek prince, or a German archduke going to the Dutch lord.

It's just that it's illegal for close relatives to marry! It may be that at this time, it is not known that the marriage of close relatives will produce strange-shaped offspring due to the similarity of the disease-causing genes in the genes.

In this matter, the indecisive nature of Count Jonad is unmistakable.

On the one hand, it is a good thing for one's daughter to marry a prince! What's more, from the experience of meeting in Glasgow City a few times before, the Prince Fedora still has a good impression of his daughter, and those thief eyes have never left Emily's face.

On the other hand, the old gentleman is also worried about Emily's feelings. When I think of that cousin who has grown up with a self-defeating body type because of his superior living conditions, he really doesn't match his petite and handsome daughter.

The old lord rubbed his scalp and hesitated, in his heart he still hoped that his daughter would accept the prince. If you really become a parent, it will be a lifetime of happiness.

You know, as a religious country, you can only monogamy, and you can't divorce yet!

Dai Lan set her eyes on Emily, only to see her white-gloved hands, clutching the pomegranate red wool tablecloth on the table, her blue eyes full of anger.
