Chapter 490
In the crisp autumn season, sitting in the sunny garden and quietly enjoying the carefully prepared flower tea is really very comfortable.
Putting down the teacup comfortably, Xia Dong glanced at the dignified Minaya opposite him, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, although the girl doesn't have the temperament of a lady now, but she still has a little elegance under the strict etiquette standards, coupled with the feeling of a small jasper engraved in her bones, and the remaining little cringe, she unexpectedly has a kind of pitiful charm.
But this is not enough, while watching the girl sip tea, he thought that Rui Qiu's sister does not need to be a rabbit, even if she can't be a queen, she should be a thorny rose, strong and fearless, this is the image she should have.
It seems that because the action of putting down the teacup is a little more casual, the bottom of the white glazed porcelain cup and the tray make a soft crisp sound, and the middle-aged etiquette teacher Mei Li, who is standing silently behind her, immediately takes two steps forward, leans down and whispers in the girl's ear, in order to invite them, the housekeeper Lei Moore has paid a sky-high price of three gold coins per month, so of course they are very conscientious.
The girl's somewhat pale little face suddenly showed a slightly depressed expression, but she didn't want to be seen clearly by Ms. Revasha opposite her, so she preached again.
Seeing that poor Minaya had to make a demure smile to deal with the accusation, Xia Dong actually had a little bad taste in his heart, sure enough, happiness comes from contrast.
After the two teachers finished their duties, Xia Dong touched his chin and said with bad intentions: "Mei Li, from next week, I will teach Mina to practice martial arts, and you can arrange her time." ”
Before the teacher could reply, Minaya's resentful eyes had already shot over, and now she not only had to learn words, music, art appreciation, geography, history, etc. every day, but also pay attention to her every move at all times, this kind of life was so painful that she wanted to return to Lianghe District to be her own wild girl more than once, but she didn't expect Xia Dong to touch his mouth and have more content.
"Sir, how much time do you need each day, and what are the arrangements for the other subjects of study for the young lady?" Need to scale back? As a full-time teacher, Mei Li immediately asked for details, unlike another teacher, Revasha, although she also had a salary of three gold coins per month, it was a permanent employment relationship, and as long as Xia Dong or Minaya's family did not decline, she could stay and work, so Minaya's schedule was completely in charge of her.
Ignoring the girl's silent pleading, Xia Dong happily gave instructions, "Well, let's practice martial arts every afternoon, but don't leave other subjects behind, it's better to put them in the evening, Mina's foundation is too poor, now you have to hurry up." ”
At this moment, the maid in a long black and white silk dress walked briskly into the garden, "Sir, the bishop of Ainsley of the city has come to visit. ”
Putting away his joking expression, Xia Dong nodded slightly, "Invite him to the garden." "This Bishop of Ainsley is one of the cardinals of the Supreme Tritheistic Church in Mesvol, and his status is very high, and he happens to have some things to ask him for, but he didn't expect to find the door first.
Minaya, who had systematically studied the relationship between the nobles and the powerful of the kingdom, naturally knew that such a big man would definitely not be idle and bored when he came to Xia Dong, so she stood up elegantly, holding her lace in her right hand as if performing a standard ladylike salute at the corner of her slightly shiny skirt, "Brother, I'll go back and study first." ”
This impeccable action even the two teachers nodded secretly, which suddenly made Xia Dong feel a sense of accomplishment, quite a taste of princess cultivation.
As soon as the maiden left, the maid next to her immediately stepped forward to take away the tea set, and in a short time, an old man in a red bishop's robe was led into the garden by the servant.
Seeing the other party, Xia Dong stood up and nodded slightly, which was regarded as a sign of his welcome, but this action made the bishop with white hair and droopy eyes a little stunned, his identity can at least be the same as the duke, and in the case of taking the initiative to visit today, not only did the other party not go out to greet him, but he also seemed to be so casual in the face of the people in the lower position?
But fortunately, he is not a narrow-minded philistine person who can become a cardinal, so he didn't care too much, but he began to be curious about Xia Dong's identity in his heart, because the other party was either arrogant and ignorant, or he had an extraordinary background.
In fact, with his identity, Xia Dong is already quite grand, if Flora and others see a cardinal, they dare to work Xia Dong to get up to greet him, but he is afraid that he will find a way to kill him when he turns around.
"Hello, Mr. Chardon, I have taken the liberty of visiting, and I hope it has not been disturbed." Bishop Ainsley also nodded slightly.
Stretching out his hand to signal the empty chair opposite, Xia Dong shook his head: "Where, Your Excellency can come, it should be an honor for us, please take a seat." ”
As soon as he sat down, a maid next to him brought steaming flower tea, and after Bishop Ainsley thanked him softly, he turned his attention to Xia Dong: "This was originally the residence of a viscount, but two years ago, he died heroically in a distant fortress, and his greed blinded his eyes and family affection, but it fell down all of a sudden, which is really regrettable." ”
"Yes, most of the people in this world are too greedy, even to the point of being inhumane, otherwise Uncle Pearl's family would not have fallen into the Lianghe District." The cardinal's words couldn't help but make Xia Dong's heart move, distant fortress, viscount, these two words couldn't help but remind him of something, but it was not good to ask too many questions at the moment.
Bishop Ainsley had an approving expression on his face: "It is true that human nature is inherently evil, and even the power of the Supreme Three Gods cannot guide all the people of the world in the right direction, but it is precisely because of this that good deeds are precious, and acts of gratitude like you Shardon are even more rare." ”
The story about Xia Dong and the Pearl family is now almost all over the city, after all, for the people at the bottom, the companion who was struggling with him on the poverty line a few days ago suddenly lived in the aristocratic area and became a master in a blink of an eye, and was served by a maid all day long, which is completely as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Minaya, in particular, has changed from a Cinderella with a muddy face all day long to a guard who is protected by guards in and out, and is taken care of by a personal maid at all times, and it is said that she eats no less than five silver knights, and wears clothes made of Phyllis Kenyon's specialty "Radiance Embrace", and even the carriage is a luxury of twenty gold coins, how can these treatments not make people envious and jealous to death?
As for Xia Dong, the protagonist of the incident, he has been shaped by these people into countless identities, such as a prince of another country, a duke of a rich country, a legendary powerhouse who can destroy the world, and even a dragon incarnation or an elf.
Regarding him and Rui Qiu, Nolia's past is even more bizarre and exaggerated, what love at first sight, courtship can't be......
Anyway, Xia Dong was completely speechless and completely lost his temper.
