Chapter 11 Questions
Harrenhal.
Tywin Lannister had just learned that his most satisfying son, Jaime, had been captured, and he was furious.
He had just said a few days ago that his son would not be captured quickly, and then the news came that Jaime had been captured, and the situation was very unfavorable now, Stannis and Lan Li had both raised troops, and they were caught between three sides.
Seeing the old man's angry face, Kevon Lannister proposed peace talks.
Tyrion, the imp on the side, pushes the glass off the table for everyone to hear the sound of glass breaking.
"If you want Robb to go to the negotiating table, it's easier to drink with this broken cup, cut off someone's father's head, and count on him to negotiate peace. ”
Others are starting to come up with ideas again.
But his most important son was captured, and Tywin couldn't listen to anything, telling everyone else to get out, leaving only the little devil behind.
The first thing the little devil did was still to drink, and his father still snatched the flask away, but this time, Tywin himself poured a glass of wine for the little devil.
The little devil squinted at Tywin, thinking to himself what kind of demon this old man is?
Tywin said to the little devil, "I always thought you were a stunted idiot, but now it seems that your IQ is okay,
It's true that if Ned hadn't died, we could have used him as a bargaining chip to bring La Robb to the negotiating table, but now that he's been cut by your nephew, I'm going to readjust my strategy.
I'll go to Harrenhal to regroup, and you, you'll be prime minister for me for a few days, and take care of that mischievous little devil king and his wife, don't mess around.
Oh yes, you are not allowed to bring that prostitute into the court. ”
Gan!
"My lord, there's a girl waiting to be summoned at the gate!"
Early morning.
Lynn, who was in the garden of the mansion, trying to practice swordsmanship, was slightly surprised when he heard the servant's announcement.
Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead with a towel, Lynn commanded, "Bring her in." ”
When she was brought into the courtyard by the servants of the lord's mansion, Dani kept her head down, a little uneasy in her heart, the lord promised her a chance yesterday, but she didn't know what kind of test she had to pass.
When she came to the garden, she was a little distraught.
A servant dressed in a coarse gray robe called by name:
"Your Lord!"
"Miss Dani has arrived!"
Lynn turned around when she heard this.
The girl seems to have deliberately teased herself, compared to the image of the wild girl yesterday, today is much cleaner.
What caught Lynn's eye was a clear face, long red-brown hair, a small upturned nose, and a pair of deep dimples on both cheeks.
It's pleasing to the eye.
A pair of blue, faded blue eyes, as if someone had washed and brushed them to make it lighter.
At this time, Dani's bright and peculiar eyes were slightly lowered, I don't know if it was because of shyness or fear.
Lynn straightened up and held out her hand in welcome.
"I'm glad you're punctual. ”
Dani is small and beautiful, and she behaves calmly, raising her chest in a moderate amount to show her beautiful orange shoulders.
She said respectfully and politely, "Thank you, sir." ”
As she spoke, she slowly raised her head.
But I saw that the young lord in the shorts vest was just one step away at this moment, with a pair of clear black eyes, looking himself up and down with interest.
Dani felt a slight redness on her face, and couldn't help but lower her head and shout.
“...... My lord!"
Lynn came back to her senses and hummed awkwardly,
"Have you had breakfast?"
Dani breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed the gaze on her face being removed.
Calm down and bow down with aristocratic etiquette, "Yes." ”
Lynn hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Miss Tully, are you really from the Tully family in the Riverlands?"
Lynn voiced the question in her mind.
He wanted to make sure that there was no misunderstanding.
Hearing that the young lord, who was not a few years older than herself, asked the question that she had expected a long time ago, Dani's heart relaxed.
She recounted in detail her journey from Riverrun to the fishing village port.
She whispered: "People's Congress, you can call me Dani, I am not a member of the legitimized Tully family, I can have the Tully surname, in fact, it is a long story." ”
Lynn looked at the girl's complicated expression and frowned, "You're an illegitimate daughter?"
Dani nodded.
Lynn sighed, the bastard surname of Riverland should be Hawen, but this girl calls herself Dani Tully instead of Dani Hewen, and there must be a secret in this.
No, Lynn wasn't much interested in exploring this.
Mainly because, he doesn't have to worry about the Tully family at all in the future.
When Edmure Tully took over the reins of Riverrun, he would soon lead the great family into decline.
In the end, Edmure, the Earl of Riverrun, even became a prisoner of the Lannisters.
Lynn just hopes that her housekeeper can be simpler, so that she can rest assured by her side.
It's always good to have less trouble.
Lynn turned the conversation back to the affairs of the Lord's Palace.
"Alright then, Miss Dany, let's get down to business. I promise you a chance, your job today will be as an interviewer for the Lord's Palace, facing dozens of applicants, including masons, handymen, and even swordsmen, are you confident that you will complete the task?"
Dani pursed her lips and said, "I'll do what I can, my lord, I once learned a little bit of the basics under a swordsmith in Riverrun, mason, handyman, my former maid Shealy used to do, I know roughly what it is." ”
"Very well, I'm going to build a fortress on the island. You will need an estimate of the number of craftsmen you will need, and if you have any questions, you can also go to Master Hill, he is a kind old man who will be happy to help you. ”
Dani nodded earnestly, and when talking about work, she quickly got into the groove and asked the servant to bring a quill and paper to write down Lynn's request in detail.
From time to time, he also asks his own little questions.
"My lord, how big do you want to build a fortress that needs to be as big as Riverrun? I've seen the blueprints for Riverrun, and I can easily draw them from memory. ”
Lynn gave her a blank look, "No money." ”
Dani didn't give up, "My lord, do you plan to keep your powerful army that defeated the pirates in the fishing village harbor? ”
Lynn shook her head, "Soon there will be no shortage of money." ”
"What about the blueprints for Riverrun?"
"Not needed for the time being, a waste of money. ”
