Chapter Seventy-Seven: Weird
Seeing that Sreta didn't blame her for entering the bedroom without permission, Erlan jumped with joy in her heart, and she hurriedly walked over to clean up the mess on the ground.
Just as Erlan was packing up her things, Sleta thought of something, and she asked Erlan: "Erlan, I heard that in the capital, the reputation of the family is very good on the civilian side?"
Erlan didn't understand what Sleta was thinking, she replied very obediently and immediately: "Yes, the little master, the civilians are all praising the little master for killing the ceremonial officer's nephew on the street, after all, the master is the captain of the knights, guarding the safety of the Heaney royal family, and defending the order of the Heane Kingdom are all things that the master should do." However, the master is not in the capital now, and the little master is wearing the power badge of the knight captain, which means that the master killed that guy, you don't know how happy the civilians are in their hearts. ”
After all, Beres couldn't speak, and some things and details were not clear, and Sleta only half-understood at the time, but now that she heard Erlan say this, she couldn't help but feel a burst of relief in her heart, and then she asked, "How is the opinion of the ceremonial officer and their family in the capital?"
"It's not good..."
Sresta's eyes flashed fiercely, and an immature scheming came to her head: "Is this so..."
Etiquette officer... Since you are leading other officials against me, then don't blame me for disgusting you!
Sleta called to the door, "Bereth, come in!"
The bedroom was quiet for a while, and Bereth's symbolic long gray hair head showed her head at the door, and she smiled and said, "Little master, call me?"
"Yes, you come in first. ”
"No problem! How do you know I'm outside the door?"
"I heard you speak so loudly at the door. ”
Bereth couldn't help but hear this, and walked in with a gray face, looking like a bedbug, while Erlan snickered carefully as she cleaned up her things.
Sleta crossed her waist and looked at Beres with a look of 'I know it was wrong': "What are you afraid of, I don't blame you." ”
Beres raised her head and blinked: "Didn't the little master blame me for yelling at your door?"
"Of course, I have other things for you to do. ”
"No problem! The little master will do what he commands! Beres will definitely complete it, and she will not be dishonored!"
...
It was already dark, and a formation of noble carriages drove out of Heaney's court, and the noble knights in the front row were silent, except for the sound of horses' hooves and breathing in their armor.
Most of the shops and vendors in the North City are also closed at this point.
Inside the carriage, a noble man dressed in a magnificent attocratic robe, with a curved octagonal beard on his face, a conceited countenance, small eyes, and a noble coat of arms embroidered on the chest of his clothes.
Next to him sat a man in plain clothes, but this man wore a noble badge on his clothes, and he was obviously a figure of great status in the aristocratic family.
The man's eyes rolled and he smiled at the nobleman beside him: "Master, how are you in the palace today? This is also the sixth time that you have entered the palace as a court ceremonial officer. ”
The ceremonial officer raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "As usual, the queen didn't see us at all, and I took other officials to sit in the palace all day." However, the queen asked a servant to pass the word, saying that the little girl of the Xu Mu family had done nothing wrong at all... Anyway, it's sheltering her. ”
"That's... What should I do now? The master has just come out of the court, and perhaps does not know that the little girl has been sent home by the queen at noon today. She and her brother are pre-nobles, but it's also true that she killed your nephew in the street... Isn't this a bit of a disgrace?" the man's face turned fierce, "Do you want me to find an opportunity to trouble her?"
The ceremonial officer waved his hand: "Don't... I don't care if that nephew dies or not. ”
The man wondered: "That master, you have been looking for trouble with that little girl with other officials these days, not for..."
"Huh? Of course not. The ceremonial officer disdained, "Originally, my so-called nephew had a problem with his brain, relying on the identity between me and him, and he was crazy to make trouble for me in the capital, and because of this, I didn't even give him the right to wear a noble badge... Besides, it is true that he humiliated Xu Mu on the street, even if the little girl didn't kill him, I have to kill the kid with my own hands when I go back, otherwise this matter will make the queen arrest, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”
"And what is the master these days...?"
"It was Torah's suggestion. "On the first day, I did go for the sake of face, but when I saw the queen protecting the little girl like this, I had no choice but not to force the queen to punish her." Torah needs me to take the others to trouble the little girl, and then point a gun at Xu Mu to see if there is any chance of removing him as the captain of the knights. ”
The man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This... Not realistic. After all, the position of captain of the Cavaliers can be easily dismissed. ”
"It's hard to say. You know, a year ago—" The ceremonial officer thought of something, glanced at the man with his eyes, and stopped in time.
The man also pretended not to care, and changed the topic with a smile: "That little girl is home now, is the master ready not to make a move?"
"Of course, even if you really want to move her, someone else should take action... For example, the Torah. The ceremonial officer hesitated, "Anyway, we can't do it, and if we do, it will be criticized, after all, that little girl is now the sister of the captain of the knights after all, and I don't want to give the queen a chance to condemn me... After all, the queen sought out a few old-school nobles some time ago and promised not to exploit their aristocratic power, and those nobles had already expressed their intention to side with the girls. Now, the Queen's control of the court is slowly being regained, and I don't know if what Torah said to us is correct or not. ”
The entourage man blinked, the words of the ceremonial officer were a little taboo, and he listened to them, and it would not be beautiful if he took the initiative to reply.
The reason why he was always able to serve by the side of the ceremonial officer was because he knew how to observe and say the right thing when it was right.
The ceremonial officer's carriage returned to his home courtyard in the North City.
In the midst of the servant's greeting, the ceremonial officer slowly descended from the carriage.
At this moment, three little boys suddenly ran out from the corner of the courtyard street, looking less than 10 years old, all wearing fluffy fur hats on their heads and wearing poor thick clothes, obviously children of common people in the capital.
But the strange thing is that the civilians who can live in Beicheng are usually from good families, and whose children in Beicheng will wear such inferior clothes?
The three little boys, whether intentional or not, were playing together, laughing and laughing while playing, and shouting songs in their mouths.
Originally, it was already dark, and the northern city was more peaceful than other areas, and the immature songs were particularly abrupt.
"The ceremonial officer is dead,
He's a man who doesn't have a chance,
Died in the bed of the woman with the red light.
The woman was too lazy to bury him in the grave,
The head rolls under the bed,
Limbs scattered in the room!"
Strange ballads were sung in the mouths of the young and cheerful children, and the servants who had greeted the ceremonial officer at the gate of the courtyard were terrified when they heard them.
Happy children, strange songs, contradictory combinations, and the dead silence of the courtyard.
