Chapter 111: Receiving & Giving Gifts
Autumn in the north is always short, and since August, the temperature outside has been dropping almost every day.
In stark contrast to the plummeting temperatures, Luna's hair is getting thicker.
Although she still gets itchy this time, Luna is in a particularly good mood when she sees that her little pure fur jacket is back and the day of lifting the ban is beckoning to her.
As soon as she was in a good mood, she was happy to see everything, and took the opportunity to let off wind and have a good meal in the garden.
"Lunaβ"
"Mother~~"
Receiving her mother's call, Luna staggered over.
"Taste, isn't it sweet?" Olivia took a yellow-orange-orange fruit from the tray the maid was holding, crouched down, and stuffed it into Luna's mouth.
"Well, it's delicious!" Luna's eyes lit up as the sweet juice spread in her mouth, and she looked up at the tray with a lot of the same fruit, "What is this?"
"Yes, Golden Jujube. Your friend sent it to someone. Lea, look at Luna, don't let her eat too much. Olivia said as she waved her hand at the maid behind her, motioning for her to give the washed fruit to Riya.
"I see, Queen. Liya took the tray and responded obediently.
"My friend?" Although Luna felt that the fruit was different from the dates she knew in terms of texture and taste, at this time, she was more concerned about who would bring her the fruit so caringly.
You know, it's not so easy to send things to the royal court.
"It was sent by the teacher to your uncle's housekeeper, saying that it was a family you met when you went to collect medicine before, and it seems that the surname is Lakun. There are a few more, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will let people pick some for you to try, and the others will be made for you to make jam and dried fruits, so that you can also eat them in winter. β
"Huh?" Luna didn't expect the fruit to be sent by the Raccoon family, and she was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Did Mother send it to Jack and Big Brother?" and Father's study. By the way, I'm going to send some to Vera too. β
"The fruit was given to you by your friend. Whatever you want, it's up to you, these are not for me to worry about for you, who do you want to give it to, let Liya help you deliver it. But when there is no fruit to make jam, you are not allowed to lose your temper. Olivia smiled and rubbed Luna's head before getting up and leaving to get her own business.
As winter approached, the castle was busy stocking up on food for the winter, and the queen was busy.
Although she didn't need to put too much effort into storing the staples in the castle, some bits and pieces of snacks that were directly related to the quality of life had to be taken care of by Olivia, the hostess.
Luna couldn't help but blink at Olivia's hurried away figure, although it was just some fruit, Luna really didn't think about it, her mother didn't seem to care at all.
Thinking about the huge deposit slip that was now lying quietly in the box above the fireplace in her room, Luna suddenly seemed to understand something.
Luna, who had figured out something, rolled her eyes and thought about it, but now she had to give away the fruits that were not easy to preserve one by one, "Let's go, take me to see the fruits." β
Given that he had seen Laquin's garden, he thought that there might be a lot of fruit, but he didn't think that Laquin actually sent three baskets of each fruit to Luna, and looked at the ten or so baskets of fruits like a hill, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Liya was no better, although she had never seen baskets of vegetables and fruits, but she had never seen such a large basket......
Half a person tall, the big basket that she couldn't hold with her arms outstretched was full of fruit.
"Liya, take a few of each fruit first, let people wash it and put it on a plate, and send it to my father, Jack, you have someone to ask how many wolf cubs have come to play recently, according to the head of each person every day, one of each fruit per day, don't let them grab this, it's not good to eat too much, just divide it according to the head." Well, big brother ...... there."
Speaking of Charles, Luna paused, she also learned not long ago, the classes there are not fixed, except for the first two years of enlightenment, after that, students can choose the course according to their needs, which is a bit troublesome.
"No matter, put a basket of each fruit in the basket and send it to my eldest brother, so that he can divide it himself. β
When Delia came back with the people and began to sort the fruits, Luna realized that these fruits seemed to be very simple and rude in large baskets, but in fact, each kind of fruit, even the size of the fruit seemed to be the same, which shows that the Lakun family also put a lot of thought into preparing these things.
The fruit has not yet been divided, and the two guards guarding Luna's door have already been found, which also indicates that Luna's time for the day is over.
Unable to look at the red and yellow lovely fruits anymore, they were sent out separately, Luna felt a little regretful, looked at the two wooden stake-like guards, sighed, and left Lia, Luna silently turned around and walked back.
It wasn't until lunchtime that Ria hurried back, and when Luna had eaten lunch, she left again.
In the royal court, she only needs to command, but when she goes to the nobleman's house to deliver fruit, she has to personally bring someone to the door.
In the afternoon, Liya took two tall males, set up a beast cart, and shuttled back and forth through the aristocratic district of the royal city.
The first to receive the fruit were naturally Samuel and Gotte.
However, Samuel, who lost the bet and thought that the little niece would not think of bringing fruit to herself, did not have to eat it.
Looking at the two pieces of love fruit from his niece that were packed in a delicate little basket, he was directly directed by Gotte to the housekeeper Parker, and all of them moved to his room, and the prince felt a little bad and secretly hated himself for not having a long memory.
The second person to receive the fruit was the Field family.
Vera's mother, Mrs. Field, received a gift for her daughter for the first time, and her whole state instantly became excited.
She even showed extraordinary enthusiasm, and dragged Liya to entertain herself, and even the two male servants who carried things left with a rich reward.
However, Vera calmly monopolized all the fruits that were sent.
After leaving the Field's house, Lia went to the house of the Baroness de Thecia, and then rushed to the house of Raphael.
Looking at Liya, who was served by a royal court's servant, she was named to give the fruit to Anthony, and Katie, who came to receive her, was a little unable to come back to her senses, but the old marquis who came out after hearing the news chatted with Liya for a few words.
Not only did he accept the fruit, but he also gave the reward money before asking the steward to send the person out.
