Chapter 168: Anne as a matchmaker
"Miss Vivian, are you looking for Lord Russell again?" The sentry at the door of the red-clothed army was stationed, and saw the yellow-dressed girl in a yellow dress who was holding white hair not far away, and hurriedly greeted her.
Lately, every morning this beautiful girl named Vivien has come here to find their Legion Master, who has a special pass for the Legion Commander, and even the cat in her arms has a bronze medal around her neck in lieu of the pass.
There is always a lot of gossip in the barracks, including that the captain of the legion, Lord Russell, fell in love with a girl, so back and forth, the entire legion of the Redcoat Army knew Vivian, but those gossip did not let Vivian know, and even Russell was kept in the dark.
"Is Mr. Russell there?" asked Vivien, looking up at the sentry standing at the sentry box.
"Yes, Lord Russell was waiting in his office early in the morning. The sentry said with a smirk.
"Oh, thanks. Vivien thanked her, and then took Xiaobai to Russell's office.
Vivien was not surprised that the sentinel guarding the door called Russell an adult. Russell is an officer, of course, his status is higher than these ordinary soldiers, and it is normal to be called an adult, but Vivien would never have thought that Russell was actually a general and the commander of this legion.
Passing through the schoolyard, past the barracks, and past the patrolling procession, Vivien quickly arrived at Russell's office after turning around.
The silly girl still hadn't noticed how strange it was that this office was located in the middle of the barracks.
How can an ordinary officer's office be located in the middle of the barracks? And it is such a large one-person office.
Vivien didn't think much of it, she raised her hand and knocked on the pine door of her office.
Knock knock.
"Please come in. Russell's voice came from the office.
Vivien walked into Russell's office, and the sleek officer in a crisp military uniform was already waiting for her.
"You're here. Russell stood up from behind his desk.
"Hmm. Vivien smiled and nodded, and after a cursory glance, she noticed that Russell had an extra set of sofas in his office.
"When did you get the couch? I remember I didn't have it when I came yesterday. Vivien asked, gesturing to the couch.
"After you left yesterday, I found this set of sofas, which is also considered a regular office material. You can sit on the couch, which will be much more comfortable than if you were sitting in a chair. Russell said, pointing to the set of couches.
Vivian has also been familiar with Russell these days, so she was not polite to him, and sat directly on the sofa, and the cat Xiaobai was also put on the sofa by her.
Xiaobai twisted a few times and then didn't move, and seemed to like the feeling of the sofa cushion very much.
"Yes, soft, and rolling. Xiaobai thought in his heart.
Vivian touched the material of the sofa and found that it was made of cooked cowhide, and the filling inside the sofa did not seem to be a big road product in the homes of ordinary people, but more soft.
This sofa is much more comfortable to sit on than the one at home. Vivien moved, found a comfortable position to lean, and reached for the menu that Russell handed over.
"Today's dishes are different from those of the previous days, they are the ones I hate the most, and they are also hated by most fighters, so it's up to you how you choose. Russell spread his hands and said that this kind of dish was not something he could control, and this was how Huotou Camp bought it, and he couldn't help it.
"It's okay, I still saw a few delicious dishes. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" Vivien stuck out her tongue mischievously like Russell, and turned to her work.
"I still have some work to do, so I won't accompany you. Russell brought Vivien a pot of tea, and went back to his desk.
"Well, you're busy. Vivien nodded.
Russell is not as idle today as he was the other day, he is responsible for developing the latest training plan for the troops, which is very brain-consuming and needs to be done well.
Two people, one sitting behind a desk and the other leaning on the sofa, although they did not make a sound, but they also seemed very harmonious.
However, this harmony was shattered by Anne's sudden intrusion.
"Russell, Russell, someone sent you flowers. Anne didn't knock on the door, she pushed the door and walked in, holding a large bouquet of wild flowers of all colors in her hand.
Russell and Vivien raised their heads at the same time, looking at the "uninvited guest" who suddenly broke in.
"On a date with your little sweetheart?" Anne smiled at Russell when she saw Vivien sitting on the couch.
"Where did the little lover come from, we are just friends. Don't talk nonsense. Russell waved his hand.
Vivien's face was thin-skinned, and when she heard this, her face turned red at once.
"The girls are shy, don't you say?" Anne tilted her head to look at Russell, "Do you know that there are crazy rumors in the barracks that Russell fell in love with a beautiful girl." Now that I look at it, what they said seems to be quite accurate, it is indeed a beautiful girl, no wonder you are tempted. Anne herself giggled.
"Who's? who's chewing his tongue there? Let me know I've got to look at him. Russell said as he drew his saber as a sign of his determination.
Vivien lowered her head. For some reason, seeing Russell denying it there, Vivi felt a sense of loss in her peace of mind.
"Come on, I don't know you yet? Seriously, the girl is really good, both in appearance and character, she is worthy of you. You're thirty-seven, and you haven't married yet, so Gadar and I are very worried about you. Anne said.
Russell rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you just met Vivien, how do you know that the two of us must be a good match?"
Anne smiled but said nothing.
Of course, she knew whether the two were worthy or not. After knowing the news, this "Violet" began to collect Vivian's information, and even her ancestors for three generations were revealed, which is absolutely reliable.
Vivian is a noble lady, her father is Viscount Jinpinghu, she is the youngest daughter of the Viscount, her appearance and knowledge are all of the highest grade, and more importantly, she is also proficient in housework, especially cooking, which is rare among ordinary noblewomen, and is definitely a good match for Russell.
If Viscount Jin Pinghu knew that his youngest daughter was in love with the Red Coats, he would probably be happy to marry his daughter to Russell.
The title of a legion commander is at least an earl, Russell's title is a marquis, the daughter of a viscount is a marquis, and the viscount of Jinping Lake is still Gao Pan.
Russell is already thirty-seven years old, and it will be too late if he doesn't marry a wife, and Anne is determined to be the matchmaker and help Russell settle the marriage.
