Chapter 122: Changing Clothes
It took another three days, and the affairs of Luo Ming's territory were roughly arranged.
The slaves already had houses to live in, and they were becoming more skilled in cultivating the land—most of them were farmers, and after the initial period of inhabitation, no one was unfamiliar with farming.
What to do next, as well as the original farmers in the territory, Luo Ming has also written a plan and handed it over to the steward.
Of course, in order to reward him for his service during this time, Luo Ming gave him a certain reward - once again used the coercion and temptation of turnips and sticks to teach him not to cheat and cheat.
He then took Grant and rode to the town of Miana.
There, a specially rented carriage has been stopped, which is not only more spacious but also a little more ornate, and at the same time has a design of shock springs on the axles.
Although Aya tells him that springs do exist in this world, being able to see them here with her own eyes still makes Luo Ming excited.
This seemingly inconspicuous little thing, like bolts and clocks, is a treasure that can advance the process of civilization in the future.
Still, he quickly regained his mind.
Development plans, he would discuss them with Aya when he was idle—if they were all written on paper, they could fill a desk.
For now, let's think about what's in front of you.
Sherlock brought a maid with him this time, and the four of them sat in the carriage, which was not crowded at all.
Lormine and Grant didn't carry much—even if they had two sets of chain mail stuffed into them, they were the size of a flour bag.
But Sherlock was carrying more than the two of them had luggage.
Luckily, the carriage has a large luggage compartment at the back, and some of the luggage can be strapped to the roof. In addition to these, even bacon and bread come with a lot.
Obviously, it didn't take more than three days on the road, but the food was almost enough to eat for more than a week, probably considering the high prices of the royal capital Brandon, and I wanted to save some more money.
Oats and beans, which are specifically fed to the horses, also take their place.
The last remaining place is stuffed with a small barrel of Charando's own wine, which can be drunk on your own or given as a gift.
I have to say that this carriage is really sturdy - Luo Ming asked, this is a carriage borrowed from the county, specially designed for going out of the road.
Sherlock had already taken care of the affairs of the territory, and when he saw Luo Ming arrive, he got into the carriage and set off immediately.
"Anyway, you've got a lot of stuff with you. ”
Luo Ming was still very curious about how many things Sherlock had brought.
Unexpectedly, when asked like this, Sherlock's face flushed slightly: "Those are my clothes......"
"Both?" Luo Ming was originally a little puzzled, but it was not difficult to understand when he thought that Sherlock was actually a woman, "Are you going to put on your old clothes?"
There was a hidden meaning to his words, and Sherlock was clever enough to hear them, and she then replied, "Although male heirs generally have an advantage over female heirs, the Duchy does not deny that women can inherit the family business.
As long as I register in the royal capital and get the written recognition of the Grand Duke, then even if I reveal my identity as a woman, no one will be able to question it.
After all, two of the guys who could have competed with me have already died, and the remaining one has also signed a written document to renounce the inheritance. ”
As she spoke, Sherlock removed the necklace that provided her with disguise.
His face softened, his hair elongated, and his chest rose and fell slightly......
Granty was a little surprised, and the maid who was over forty years old in the car was completely unmoved.
"It's okay, Hannah has always watched me grow. ”
Sherlock stroked his long-lost hair and said with a smile, "Everyone in this carriage is the person I trust the most, so it's better to simply restore my feminine appearance now...... That's right!"
As if she had suddenly remembered something, she opened the small window leading to the front of the carriage and said to the coachman, "Stop the carriage a little!"
At this time, the carriage was already some distance away from the town of Miana, and it was not afraid of being seen by others.
Sherlock first politely asked Lockin to leave the carriage for a while and keep a distance of five meters, and then she called the maid Hannah, took a lot of things out of the luggage compartment, and put them into the carriage.
Although he can't see with his eyes, Luo Ming's six senses are very keen, and he can vaguely hear some clues through the carriage.
The careful understanding of the cloth, the subtle friction between the skin...... There will be no mistake, this is a change of clothes.
Luo Ming didn't plan to really peep, but in the spirit of being bored, he still closed his eyes and focused further on hearing.
Think of it as a listening exercise. He had also practiced blind fighting for a few days, and even in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he could knock down ordinary gangsters by listening to the sound and identifying the position.
(...... Figure, health, envy?)
He vaguely heard Sherlock's voice say something like that.
(soft...... Eh, even Grant is saying?)
Could it be ...... It's hard to ......!
Luo Ming suddenly looked forward to it.
After a while, Hannah came out with a package and stuffed it into the luggage compartment.
And Sherlock's voice also came at the right time: "Mr. Lockin, you can come in." ”
Grunting and swallowing, Luo Ming pretended to be indifferent and returned to the carriage.
As he expected, it wasn't just Sherlock who wore her old girl's outfit, but even Grant Gave put on a beautiful outfit.
Of course, it wasn't Granty's own, and Lomin guessed that it must have been lent to her by Sherlock.
Granty is usually either fully armed or simply dressed in a normal cloth suit that is somewhere between a village girl and a tomboy.
When fully armed, cloaks, armor, bracers, and swords...... There is a heroic spirit.
But the cloth clothes she wears every day really made Luo Ming say several times that it was too incompatible with the identity of a woman.
But don't expect to buy any good clothes in this small place like Miana, and this matter has been delayed until now.
Anyway, Sherlock was actually a little shorter than Granty, and his figure was a little worse - as a result, even with Granty's average figure, Sherlock's clothes were propped up.
Fortunately, Sherlock probably lived as a man for several years, and now he is not very sensitive to such a female thing as the body, so he didn't say anything.
"It's very inconvenient to move like that......" said Granty, tugging at her somewhat tight clothes, reluctantly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, in most cases, the security of the principality is actually quite secure - there are only two or three large groups of bandits in the entire county, and although there will be some small-scale thieves, Mr. Luo Ming can handle it alone, and you don't need to interfere. ”
When Sherlock said good things about the principality, it was like a living five-hair.
