"Father, when will our family become nobles." Returning from Geralt, Morley stood in front of Jadra and asked with an unwilling expression, "What are the requirements to become a nobleman, and how long will it take us to achieve our goal?" ”

"You'll know the Tao when you're older." Jaedra was counting the gold coins in the bag, and after a while, he frowned: "Morley, why is there less money." ”

Speaking of this, Morley said what had happened with a look of grievance, Jetra snorted, there was a little anger in his expression, more helplessness, he touched his son's head, and said slowly: "Now you understand, why our family has always had to do business, when our ancestors were soul thinkers, the family was big, and the lord of a city also had to look at the faces of our ancestors, but unfortunately there were no talents in our clan later, and they have declined to this day, but fortunately, the ancestors of soul thinkers expected it a long time ago. Leaves a way on how to return to the aristocracy. When we have enough gold, our family will be able to buy back the title and become a noble family again. ”

Morley asked, "How long will that take?" ”

Jaedra hesitated, lowered his eyes and said, "It's almost ......"

Chen Xiansong was next to him, he heard this conversation, and felt the endless sorrow in Jedra's heart, which father doesn't want his child to be superior to others and live happily. But they can't, for the glory of their ancestors, they must work hard, they must break through, this world is cruel, a person goes up, there must be a person down, the nobles' suppression of businessmen is actually in disguise to maintain their status. Jaedra knew very well that an accident like the one just now that he might be killed by the nobles with an excuse if he was not careful, might have to accompany his son for the rest of his life.

Morley was rather dissatisfied with his father's answer. There is no way to do it. He was still young, and he couldn't understand a lot of things.

Merchants are a multifaceted group that doesn't offend anyone easily, and when someone helps them, they are grateful and say a lot of good things. But they are also profit-seeking people, and when there is a conflict between favor and interest, they will give up their eight-sided exquisite characteristics. Chen Xiansong can be said to have saved the life of Jaedra's son, but he is unwilling to thank him, because once he does. Even if he owes the other party a favor, and Chen Xiansong is a favor, and owes the goods a favor, maybe the other party will take the opportunity to raise the price, and even have the capital to negotiate. This may hurt his interests, for the businessman. This is a big taboo.

Jaedra didn't want to say thanks. But Chen Xiansong didn't feel that the other party needed to thank him, in his thoughts, he was just saving himself.

Molly looked very depressed when something happened to him, and Jaedra didn't seem to be anything abnormal, but Chen Xiansong still felt the anger in his heart. It's just anger to anger. But there is no way, even if it is a declining noble, even if there is no fief, they still have a title. Not someone a businessman can casually offend.

The matter gradually spread in the caravan, and there was such a problem, and everyone had no intention of staying and continuing to rest. Jetra ordered the caravan to set off, and after handing over the pass, the border city guards let them go, and Chen Xiansong walked under the tall city gate, and he was greeted by a verdant grassland, white clouds, blue sky, and green sea.

It's the beginning of summer, and thanks to the abundant rain, all the plants in the grassland are very vibrant, and their verdant green is extraordinarily 'bright'. After entering the nose, there is the smell of the grassland, Chen Xiansong used to be accompanied by Sister Bai, ran through many tourist attractions, and also went to the prairie, but it was this grassland that made him feel relaxed and happy.

The reason for this is that there are too many human beings in the 22nd century. Almost all the earth is full of people, in order to prevent the explosion of the earth, we have to issue a birth restriction order, there are too many people, no matter how the new humans usually protect the environment, they will eventually be affected. Compared with the grasslands of the 22nd century, this grassland is more 'wild'.

This kind of special self-perception of scenery generally only exists in natural people...... Then natural people can use artistic means, such as painting, or text descriptions to express themselves, and then the new human beings can indirectly harvest the artistic atmosphere they want from the literary and artistic works of natural people.

Chen Xiansong was the only one who felt amazed at this grassland, and the other people in the caravan all had indifferent expressions, and they were even more strange about Chen Xiansong's expression and actions.

"If only I had paper and inkstone on hand." Chen Xiansong licked his lips: "Suddenly, I was in a lot of interest." ”

The reason is that the plants absorb a part of the sunlight and heat to convert the energy needed for their own growth, so even at noon, the sun shines directly, and everyone does not feel how hot it is, but there is a little breeze blowing, and the heart is relaxed.

Mo Li stood beside Chen Xiansong, watched him open his hands, listened to him again, and couldn't help asking: "You can actually paint, you already know how to write, you can do accounting, even if you are a noble heir, I don't think you can learn this knowledge, is it true that Hua Nan has learned everything since he was a child." ”

"I said that I am not a flower man." Chen Xiansong pursed his lips, and the painting that had just gotten up was immediately disgusted by this guy.

"Yes, yes, you are a soul-thinker." Morley snorted: "I don't understand, it will take so much effort to train you for what kind of nobles, isn't it just a man who sells ass, almost everything is taught to you, and we serious people can't learn anything." ”

Today, Morley seems to have a lot of opinions about Chen Xiansong, and he is resistant, and he is not even very energetic when learning words.

Normal people will explain that others misunderstand themselves, but after the explanation, the other party does not believe it, and Chen Xiansong is unreasonable. As a man from the 22nd century, he doesn't have a special view of homosexuality, but it would be unbearable to say that he sells ass. He gave the other a blank look, then hid back in the cage of the carriage, covered it with a black cloth, and fell asleep.

Seeing Chen Xiansong ignoring him, Morley's face turned a little red with anger, but thinking that the other party was still his teacher in name, in the social atmosphere of Kate Kingdom, which respects teachers, it is a big rebellion to collide with teachers, so just think about it.

In the evening, Chen Xiansong woke up, the caravan was also stationed, the night of the grassland was humid, the temperature would drop very low, and there were not many elemental crystal pillars in this place, far apart, if you were not prepared, you might freeze people out of the disease at night.

The mercenaries took out their tools and cut all the grass around them that was knee-high, and there were many insects in the grassland that would bite people, and occasionally poisonous snakes would stay in the grass, so as to prevent the above situation as much as possible. Chen Xiansong also wanted to help, but was stopped by Jedra, his reason was very simple: "The flower man just wants fine skin and tender meat, and every time you have an extra cocoon on your hand, my gold coins will be less than a dozen." ”

Well, Chen Xiansong had to give up. Now everyone in the caravan thinks he is a flower man, and he himself can't explain it clearly.

After dinner, Chen Xiansong was teaching Morley basic strokes, the latter just nodded, signaled that he heard, and then began to wander the world, Chen Xiansong taught for a while, so he had to throw the wooden strip in his hand and asked: "Forget it, it seems that you can't listen to it, little guy, what are you thinking, thinking so much." ”

Mo Li originally had an impatient expression, but suddenly he looked up and asked, "You are a flower man, so you must have seen a lot of nobles since you were a child." Can you tell me what the nobles are doing? ”

"I'm not a flower ......"

"Just tell me what the nobles are doing." Mo Li interrupted Chen Xiansong's words rather impatiently: "Who cares what your identity is, anyway, when you get to the Aurora Kingdom, we will sell you." ”

"Okay." Chen Xiansong shrugged his shoulders, he thought for a while and said: "The nobles I came into contact with, no matter how you say it, they are quite talkative, but some people are usually very good with you, but when they encounter interests or position problems, they will directly become your enemies, and the speed of change is so fast that sometimes you can't believe it." ”

"And what do they usually do?"

Chen Xiansong thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, it is to attend banquets everywhere, expand contacts, or deepen ties with other nobles, young nobles and old nobles are a little different, young nobles prefer to mess around with flowers and grass, to see if there are other nobles who are suitable for marriage with their daughters, some of the old nobles are in retirement, and some are calculating how to increase their family property or power." ”

"Sounds like nothing to do." Morley looked envious: "But also, others are nobles, not poor merchants like us." In the past, when our family was prosperous, the clan must have lived like this, and I was not born at that time. ”

Then the two chatted casually, and when it was completely dark, they were ready to rest. Before getting back into the cage, Chen Xiansong went to see the few female slaves who were locked in the cage, although they were still malnourished, but with the two or three black bread that Chen Xiansong spent more, their complexion was a little better, especially the girl, every time she saw Chen Xiansong, she would look at him gratefully.

At noon the next day, they arrived at the first border city of the Kingdom of Uwa...... Fositur, which means the pearl of the steppe.

After paying the entrance fee for a gold coin, Jetra led his caravan acquaintances to find a hotel, which was not very good-looking, but it was large, and there were many freight wagons parked in its backyard, and it was a well-known merchant's inn.

Jaedra plans to stay here for two or three days, and by the way, the two truckloads of weapons and armor he brought here are sold here, in exchange for other goods, although military supplies are more valuable to sell in the Aurora Kingdom, but the Kingdom of Uva has a very unpleasant rule, all military equipment is only allowed to enter and not leave...... Fortunately, the price of the military's purchase was also fair, which did not cause much resistance from the traveling merchants.

If Jaedra wants to go out to talk about business, he naturally has to bring his youngest son Morley, and teaching is the best way to educate him. It's just that he didn't expect that it was precisely because he brought Morley out of the city that it caused a disaster. (To be continued......)
