Chapter 55: The Gripen Family
Lynn looked at the scene in amazement.
The golden pig arched into a box full of fresh sea fish, and swallowed the fish inside one bite at a time, gulping it into its small stomach.
It's embarrassing, it's no different from the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
A fisherman brought another box of fish from a distance, and he first bent down slightly to the young lord Lynn, wanting to neatly place the box in his hand next to the previous fish box.
However, he soon discovered the golden pig in the box.
The box in the fisherman's hand fell to the ground involuntarily.
Immediately, an earth-shattering scream was heard, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
"Oh my God, what the hell is this!"
The corner of Lynn's guard Hood's eyes twitched, although he was also surprised at the door of the lord's mansion before, but fortunately it was not so unbearable.
Hood held his sword in his hand, stepped forward and scolded, "What's it called, don't you see that this is the domesticated demonic beast of the lord?"
"Warcraft?"
The fisherman's face was incredulous, and it was difficult to understand from his mind what this monster meant.
A kind of beast?
Lynn sighed, the golden pig will live in the fishing village port in the future, there will be a lot of trouble, I have to think of a way to explain its bizarre appearance.
Lynn offered to reassure the frightened fisherman.
"Don't panic, this is the inheritance of my Rothschild family, just like the dragon blood of the Targaryens, the wolf spirit of the Stark family, the Rothschild family has inherited the ability to train the falcon lion for generations, but the previous ancestors have never found the Gripen.
Lynn became more and more smooth, and admired her quickness.
The people on the side were thinking about the lord's words, whether it was true or false Hood, the head of the guards. Seeing that Lynn turned his head, he said to him: "Go, let the tailors in the city sew the new flag of the fishing village port territory according to the image of this Gripen, and in the future, my Rothschild family will be the ancient Gripen family."
In this matter, you can ask the bard to help spread the story of the Rothschilds from the ancient clans.
If anyone doesn't believe it, this Gripen is a case in point. ”
Hood imagined the Lord Lord, wearing the Gripen family crest, his neck shrunk, and he agreed.
Lynn looked at his golden pig, his face full of joy.
Good fellow, his appetite is really good, and it didn't take long for half a box of sea fish to enter his belly, and prop up his belly like a golden lion.
It's good to know how to eat, but looking at this, it's not a problem to grow up.
Lynn was satisfied with the golden pig in the fish cargo box, who was lazily licking the fur with his paws outstretched, and kicked it out.
Again, the attendant who accompanied him compensated the fisherman for the fish money.
led everyone back to the fishing village and port city.
Hood followed Lynn's instructions, found Old Bachelor Hill, wrote a letter and sent it to White Harbor.
During the period when White Harbor had not replied, it continued to develop the territory according to its own plan.
Although Lynn collected a sum of ill-gotten wealth in Saltworks before leaving Riverlands, plus the treasure that the three sisters pirates had brought back from before, it was not used up.
Generally calculated, there should be more than 20 gold dragons to add a few fractions of cash.
There is no financial pressure in the short term.
However, the balance of income and expenditure in their own territory is completely unbalanced, and the situation of making ends meet seriously affects the expansion and development of their territory.
Now there are nearly 150 artisans in the territory, all of whom are locally recruited or hired from White Harbor, and if there is no work for them, no pay, and these people will leave sooner or later.
Then there were the 300 refugees who had arrived from the Riverlands, and the new army of more than 80 Night's Watch who had arrived with the fleet.
Nearly 400 mouths are waiting to eat every day.
And that's not even counting the Knights and the Knights Templar, who now have more than 200 soldiers and horses to chew.
Alas!
It's hard to raise a family.
Lynn sat on a bench in the courtyard, held a burrito with duck eggs in her hand, sighed, and then, smelling the fragrance of the cake, she swished and nibbled on it.
Erya has been very happy with the golden pig recently, and every day she takes the golden pig to the port, making the fishermen who carry the fish goods complain.
Someone still wanders around alone and comes to the north with him, which is also his own will, but he has nothing to do all day, and Lynn doesn't see what he thinks for the time being.
Lynn put down the duck burrito.
Hood, the leader of the guards, invited Lynn to a memorial service for the sailors who died outside the widow's port.
A swift and humble memorial service and a generous pension for the families of the dead sailors were all meant to be.
All Lynn had to do was attend the final stage of the ceremony, watch Old Hill deliver a eulogy for the dead sailors, and then hand over the final work to his men.
When returning from the beach.
Instead of riding in the carriage, Lynn walked with Dani, the housekeeper who accompanied her.
The guards Hood, Duncan, and Shifu rode horses and followed behind them for some distance.
Lynn took the initiative to speak.
"Dani...?"
Dani and Lynn were half a body distance away and paused, "Yes, my lord?"
"Something about your grandfather. Don't be too sad, people are inherently dead, and the old Duke of Tuli will die, which is already the favor of the seven gods. Lynn reassured.
Dani pursed her lips and said, "Yes, my lord, Dani understands. ”
"Well, when you went back to Riverrunner this time, the people of the Tully family didn't embarrass you?"
"No, but they didn't let me attend my grandfather's funeral, so I went to the river to watch the funeral from afar, and then hurried back. ”
Dani tried to stay calm, but there was a hint of disappointment in her voice.
However, when Dani talks about the funeral of the old Duke of Tully, Lynn remembers a plot.
Edmure Tully, the heir of Duke Horst Tully, gave his father a water burial in front of his fellow family members.
The boat with the remains and hay was released from the river.
But Dany's unreliable father raised the bow and arrow that ignited the fire, and missed several arrows in a row, and saw that the ship was about to disappear into range.
In the end, it was his uncle, Sir Blackfish Brindon, that he snatched the bow and arrow, and solved it with one arrow.
This is Edmure, the new Duke of Riverrun, the successor of Old Horst.
Not to mention the war IQ and personal EQ, the archery skills are so poor that it is embarrassing to hold a water burial.
Even if you don't have two brushes, you should practice beforehand, and you really shouldn't do this.
Although it is possible that the father died or many people around him were nervous, the elder of a family and the duke of the territory could not be nervous like this.
In fact, this more or less reflects the precarious situation of the Tully family today.
Dany didn't know that Lynn had arranged his father in his heart, and even if he knew, he wouldn't really care much, and there wasn't much father-daughter relationship between her and Edmure.
Now that the old Duke of Horst is dead, I'm afraid she's dead to the whole Tully family.
