Chapter 54: Winter Castle
Two days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, the family woke up early, and his mother went into the kitchen to get busy, while Louise helped Tang Qi organize his clothes.
The mother of this set of clothes has made a lot of money, white robe brocade, black clothes underlining, embroidered with snow patterns, the fabrics are all night silk cloth of Silver Pine City, the value is expensive, after the tailor modification, it fits very well, and sets off Tang Qi's increasingly upright figure.
"It's beautiful. β
Louise wore a pair of white leather gloves and helped arrange her collar, smiling with satisfaction.
People rely on clothes, this Tang Qi is deeply touched, he is handsome in appearance, wearing this dress, it sets off a kind of elegance, delicate facial features are full of intellectual sensuality, and the upright body does not lack a sense of strength.
Mother's vision is really good.
"I guess there's been no movement in the cold lately. Tang Qi lowered his head and asked.
"Yesterday there was a little, but the gloves were insulated and no one noticed. Louise smiled and said, "The cold has really healed, and it hasn't been sick for more than a week." β
Louise smiled as brightly as she could, but Tang Qi still caught the reluctance and patted her head gently, "Don't be afraid, my brother is going to the Winter family, and I will definitely find a reliable bachelor to help you treat you." β
"Well, I'm not afraid. Louise was still smiling.
Speaking of which, since the relationship eased, Tang Qi had not had a pessimistic expression when he saw Louise, and before, her expression always seemed to be sluggish. Could this belong to having experienced too much and learning to face life with a smile?
Breakfast was nutritious, eggs, bread and milk.
A few pieces of toasted bread with butter, eating the eggs, and secretly pouring milk into Louise's cup, Donkey got up under his mother's complaining eyes. "I'm gone, I should go home in the evening. β
After leaving the house, the city had not yet woken up, Tang Qi walked up the street, walked through two intersections, met an ox cart delivering vegetables for the nobles, chatted with the old man, and hitched a ride.
The castle of the Winter family is at the top of the city, and the further you go, the more you can see the city, this city built on a snow-capped mountain has a unique beauty, with winding streets, suspended bridges, and chimneys with black smoke billowing in the distance, the white snow city is amazing.
Walking through the bustling streets, Tang Qi couldn't help but be shocked as he approached the castle at the top of the city.
The castle is like a miracle, the wall bricks are blue and white, the cold-resistant green vines are crawling, and the top of the palace arc is like an arch-backed beast, solemn, forested, exuding the atmosphere of eternity. The castle is not small, with two main buildings and six annexes connected by outer corridors.
At the gates stood two rows of heavily armed guards, with their backs and silver spears upright, completely different from the scattered armies of this era. Tang Qi's throat was a little astringent, and he found that no matter which guard, he was not sure of defeating.
"Show proof. β
Tang Qi walked into the castle gate, the two spears crossed, and the guard said in a deep voice.
Tang Qi took out the certificate sent by the Codonto, the guard glanced at it, and suddenly grinned: "It turned out to be a newcomer, and it will be my own person in the future." He lifted his mask and said hello.
"Go in and go straight to the first building, old Mogg will entertain you. β
Tang Qi thanked politely, it seemed that these guards were cold on the surface, but they were actually quite enthusiastic.
Entering the castle, the interior is a common snowy scene, there is no imaginary group of maids, shoulder to shoulder, to the point that it seems a little deserted, according to the path pointed by the guards into the first building, to a maid asked old Mogg, Tang Qi quickly found someone.
"Oh, you're the one Cotton recommends, right? β
Old Mogg was a hunchbacked old man, holding on to a cane, his face wrinkled like a trench deep, with a few teeth left, and his speech leaking. is still working at such an old age, Tang Qi is deeply afraid that he will accidentally fall and die with a whimper.
"Hello. "Slander is slander, and Tang Qi still has respect for the old man.
"The little guy is quite polite, and his image is good, let me see, your position is a stable...... Nice post, I'm sure you'll like it. Old Mogg said hehe, waiting for Tang Qi to fill out the form and contract, and then led him outside.
As he walked, the old man introduced the purpose and history of each building in the castle to Tang Qi, and explained that the rules of the Rin Dong family were not strict, but they could not go anywhere, such as the room of the young master and the young lady, and if you enter it without an order, the punishment will be very severe.
Listening to Old Mogg's introduction, Tang Qi had a general understanding of the castle and the family.
For example, Duke Winter was appointed to the hand of the king, and in the royal capital, the current acting head of the family is the eldest lady Thea. After Tang Qi crossed over, in many people's mouths, they had heard of the deeds of this acting family master, she was extremely talented, she had swept the powerhouses of the same age in various countries, and was known as the most talented source cultivator in a hundred years.
At the same time, she is also a cold and wise city lord, and everyone in Winterfall is in awe.
In addition to the eldest lady, the family also has a young lady and three young masters. What made Tang Qi feel subtle was that the young lady was Fu Yana, who had been trained in the martial arts hall, but she probably wouldn't know herself.
The stables are on the south side of the castle, leaning on the barn, and there are not many horses, but there are more than a dozen at a cursory glance. Each of them is a good horse, with a strong and powerful body.
"The horses in the stables are all young masters, and the horses are kept in small horse farms next to the city. So your task is not light, none of these horses can have an accident, they are all precious. Old Mogg pointed to the horses and said:
"This is the black fire, the second young master's horse, eat grass to be moist, comb the hair every half a day, this is the white pigeon, the young lady's horse, eat hay, massage every six hours......"
Listening to Old Moge's introduction, Tang Qi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, which are more than a dozen horses, and they are clearly more than a dozen masters, which are more difficult to serve than people. Fortunately, after introducing these horses, old Mogg said: "You don't have to worry too much about these, there are horse servants who are responsible for taking care of them, and what you have to do is to manage the horse guards, all of them are leather children." β
Saying that, he beckoned, and five children ran out of the straw barn, all very young, four men and one woman, with solid skin, wrapped like a zongzi, and their cotton clothes were a little dirty, but their bodies were very clean, and they politely saluted Tang Qi.
"Okay, let them tell you the rest, people are old, and their spirit is a little lacking. Old Mogg said tiredly, and suddenly he raised his cane: "I almost forgot, you guys, take him to see the big guy." β
After saying that, he leaned on his crutches and walked away.
Big?
Puzzled, Tang Qi followed the older boy among the five horsemen around the grass barn, and at a glance saw the big guy in Old Mogg's mouthβa horse-like beast! covered in white scales, with four blood-red eyes, and the horse's hooves burned like fire.
Beautiful, Tang Qi couldn't help but praise, just like the legendary Ryoma, but unfortunately it was an evil beast.
"This is the second young master sent someone to catch it, it can't be tamed, and it is kept for watching. The boy stood in front of the cage, and the beast slammed into the cage, but the cage did not move, and after two hits it stopped.
Raise evil beasts to watch.
The corners of Tang Qi's mouth twitched......
