The knight was helpless, "Didn't you tell your father about it properly?"

"Of course I did!" said Mamuen, "I even fell on my knees and prayed to him like a dog!

Aigna sighed helplessly, this kind of thing can be regarded as the price of becoming a nobleman. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Suddenly, however, she had a flash of inspiration and asked, "What would you choose if, I mean, if you could get this love, but you had to pay for your inheritance and all your wealth?"

Without hesitation, Mamuen said, "Take all those things, I just want to live with Emma." As he spoke, he smiled miserably, "I didn't plan to inherit any title, any family property, let all these annoying things die!"

Aigna nodded, "I'm not going to tell anyone about tonight, including my boss and your father. However, if you really want to break the ice, I suggest you talk to my boss. ”

"He?" said Mamuen, looking suspiciously at the female knight.

"Yes. Aigna nodded, "Although he is lewd and cunning, he has never done anything against morality, which is why I still follow him." The knight paused, "Besides, he has traveled all these years, and his knowledge and wisdom should be enough to help you solve this matter." Of course, she finally added three words in her heart, "It should be." ”

"However, he had a good relationship with my father. ”

"Yes, but he's a businessman, if only you could offer a more attractive price... ”

When Ma Moon heard this, he was stunned, as if he had realized something.

。。。。。。

Early the next morning, Mu had just walked into the dining room when he was blocked by the anxious Ma Muen.

"Mr. Mu, I... I have something to think ... ”

Mu frowned, "Family or business?"

Ma Muen was stunned for a moment, but still replied, "Family matter." ”

Mu Ran said, "Now is not the time, you have to talk about unsightly things when you don't see people, come to me later tonight." ”

Ma Muen was stunned again for a moment, and then immediately realized that his behavior was indeed inappropriate, and quickly thanked him and retreated. And it didn't take long for Roland de Boyer to also walk into the dining room, and when he saw Mu, he immediately walked over, "How is it, has it been negotiated?"

Mu shrugged, "Talk to her yourself today, she is my employee, not my slave." ”

Roland sighed, knowing that this was difficult.

"Well, I'll ask. ”

。。。。。。

The sun set again, and on this day, Ma Muen was able to live like a year. Finally, in the setting sun, he knocked on the merchant's door. The merchant politely invited him in, and at the same time sat down in the armchairs at either end of the small table. Although Mamuen is also the owner of this castle, this room is rarely visited. Although the merchant's room still has exposed stone brick walls, Roland de Poille had many tapestries hung on the walls to make the room warm. Ma Muen couldn't help but sigh, he was worthy of his father's honored guest, and even he didn't have such a good treatment.

Mu lit the small stove of warm wine, and said to Ma Muen, "So, Mr. Ma Mouen, have you come for your love?"

Ma Muen's pupils shrank suddenly, but Mu didn't seem to care at all, and continued, "For this matter, Roland Deboye is also very troubled. Yesterday, I was specifically asked to convince Agna to marry you. ”

The noble son finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Mu shook his head regretfully as he tested the temperature of the flask, "it seems that you have enough time to tell you the story of you and that woman before we drink." ”

The noble prince frowned, "It's none of your business." ”

Mu shrugged like a person, "When investing, you have to check the business status of the caravan first, if you don't tell me what's going on, how can I give you ideas?"

Ma Muen pondered for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you. ”

The story takes place exactly two years when Roland de Boyer was down. His brother suddenly attacked the Roland family, and he was caught off guard and could only abandon his wife and children and flee in a hurry. Roland was lucky to meet Mu, but his wife was unfortunately murdered, so what about the protagonist of the story, Ma Muen?

Mamuen was lucky, and when his uncle called, he happened to go to a small village below the territory to collect taxes, and he was lucky enough to get the news before he returned, and escaped from his uncle's pursuit.

Of course, tragedy soon struck, because he found that his money was about to run out, and he himself could not think of any way to make money for a while. You know, Virginia still maintains the tax system in kind, and what the village handed over was a cart of souvenirs, and the fleeing could not take it with them. Now, in addition to the little money he carried with him, all he had left was a small bag of food that he had brought from the village.

Fortunately, he still has two loyal servants, at least that's what he thought at the time.

That's right, he was lucky. One night, when he was awakened by the cold winds of the Virginian tundra, he happened to hear his servants discussing the need to seize him from time to time and offer him to his uncle in order to escape this difficult life.

Hearing this, Ma Muen could not sleep any longer, and he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two servants, snatched a horse, and galloped into the snowfield, leaving only the two men to scream and curse in anger.

He didn't know how long he had been running in the snow, he just kept running, kept running, and ran as far as he could. Until the horse under the seat threw him on the snow, he could no longer move. At this time, Ma Muen had no choice but to spread his legs and stumble aimlessly in the snowfield, until he finally fell into the snowdrift and lost consciousness.

"That said, it was really thrilling at the time. Mu didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't it," said Marmon, with a wry smile, "So, you know how touched I was when I woke up and saw Emma." ”

"Of course I understand, it's a charcoal in the snow. Mu touched the wine jug again and poured a glass for your son, "And then?"

"She took me in. Mamuen took the glass gratefully and continued, "Gave me something to eat, and personally picked the leaves of herbs to dress my wounds... ”

The noble prince sighed, "Her village... No, it's not even a village, it's just a settlement in the mountains and forests, there are less than ten families in total... The crops in their village do not even feed themselves, and they have to rely on the men to go out hunting to survive. ”

"She... Mamuen took a sip of his wine and continued, "Her father was drafted into battle and died in battle, and her mother left her the last bite of food to keep her alive, and she starved to bed the previous winter. When I was at my weakest, she gave me a bowl of mashed berry paste, which was sour to death, especially unpalatable, but... It was all she had for the day. ”

He glanced up at the merchant and found that the big merchant did not have a trace of impatience on his face, but listened very carefully and quietly, which made Ma Mouen's impression of the merchant suddenly much better.

"Later, when my uncle's army came looking for me, she hid me, so I can sit here and talk to you today. Later, my uncle seemed to run out of patience and stopped sending soldiers, and my wounds healed. In the days that followed, she planted crops and picked berries while I went into the woods to hunt, and our lives began to flourish. ”

"Hunting?" Mu looked at the noble son, who was not strong, and was a little suspicious.

"Mr. Mu, please don't underestimate me. Seeing the suspicious look on the merchant's face, Ma Muen was a little dissatisfied, "Although our family did not have the right to inherit before, I also received the training that all nobles should have, and my strength is no worse than those mercenaries!

The merchant hurriedly smiled apologetically and let the noble son continue.

"Then there is nothing," said Marmon, who smiled wryly, "and Emma and I lived a plain and happy life, but two years later, my father's men found me. "Wait a minute," Mu interrupted Ma Muen again, "In two years, you haven't had a child?"

Ma Muen was stunned for a moment, and nodded shyly, "No, she didn't get pregnant on the only few occasions, and Emma and I both felt that we weren't ready to be parents, and we didn't expect that I would be able to live a noble life again, so we dragged it out." ”

Mu nodded and motioned for Ma Muen to continue.

"We would have been very happy, after all, life is much better for the nobility than in a small village. Mamuen's smile became a little self-deprecating, "But my father forcibly separated us, and it was useless for me to plead with him, and he locked me in the castle and forbade me to go out." She has to live in the slums, washing clothes for the civilians to make ends meet, of course, I can support her a little, but... Ma Muen shook his head, his expression very painful, "I really hate myself, I love her, but I can't give her happiness, I can't even feed her! He lifted his glass, tilted his neck, and poured the whole glass down.

Mu poured it for him again, "The general situation, I already know it, and I am very sympathetic to your experience." But you know how costly the love between nobles and commoners is. Like what... ”

"Of course I do. Before Ma Muen could finish speaking, he resolutely interrupted, "Intermarriage with commoners is a big rebellion among nobles, our children will be inferior, the family will be excluded, and even inheritance will be a problem in the future." ”

"It's good that you know. Mu nodded, "So, I want to be sure a little more, do you really love her, not out of gratitude?"

"I love her," Mamuen said categorically, "I have thought of her every day since I was grounded, looking forward to meeting her, and even sneaking out of the castle at night to have a tryst with her, and I think I can't fit any other woman in my heart." ”

"And does she love you?"

Ma Muen was stunned for a moment, his voice was not as sure as before, "She loves me too, she has been waiting for me in the slums for so long." ”

Mu caught the hesitation of your son, but continued to say, "I understand your intentions, and next, I want to see your determination." ”

"Determination?"

"That's right. Mu nodded, "It's how much you plan to pay for this love." ”

"Ha," said Marmun, smiling indifferently, "what is the matter? I have my property, my title, you can take it all if you want." It's a big deal that Emma and I will go back to living in the village. I never expected to inherit the land anyway. ”

"Well, that's right. "I remember that there has always been a custom among the nobles of Viria that the elders will give the heir a dagger with a family crest as proof of the heir's identity. ”

Bang, the dagger was slapped in front of Mu.

Mu looked at your son suspiciously, "Do you know what your move represents?"

"I need to pay you and Kulau half the value of money to redeem this city, I know. "For Emma's sake, I'm willing to pay that price." ”

The merchant nodded, and put the dagger away.

"I see your determination, and it is not difficult to solve this problem. Mu took a sip of wine and said.

"Really?" said Ma Muen, who suddenly became excited, "Tell me quickly." ”

"You have a conflict with your father, and your father has a conflict with your lover," the merchant summed up a little, and continued, "The conflict between the two generations cannot be resolved, just let the third generation solve it." ”

"What do you mean?" the noble prince was a little confused.

"Even if you impregnate that Miss Emma, whether it is for the sake of the next generation of heirs, or for the love of the offspring, your father will not be so easy to interfere with, and even if he still does not recognize that lady, it will not hinder you too much. The merchant explained.

"Is it that simple?" asked Mamuen in surprise,

"It's as simple as that. Mu shrugged, then said with a smile, "Do you think the business is at a loss?"

"No," Mamuen shook his head, "I won't regret the decision I've made. Moreover, I am ready to continue to live a life of poverty, and you have helped me to preserve the noble and prosperous life, and I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. ”

"You think it's good not to lose," Mu shrugged, "Anyway, don't you hurry up and act, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold." ”

"Oh, yes! Thank you, Mr. Mu. Ma Muen immediately ran out of the door excitedly.

Mu watched the back of the noble prince disappear outside the door, and did not make any movement, slowly drank the wine in his wine glass, then took out a new cup, filled it again, picked it up, turned around, and lifted a tapestry behind him, and the owner of this castle, Roland de Boye, sat behind it.

Mu stuffed the wine glass into his hand, "Drink some, maybe it will be more comfortable." To be honest, I'm already amazed that you couldn't resist rushing out. ”

Roland de Boye smiled bitterly, "Alas, it is inevitable that the eldest husband will not have a virtuous wife and a son who is not filial, Mr. Mu smiled when he saw it." ”

Mu Zhen smiled, "I think Ling Lang is really temperamental, dare to love and hate." As he spoke, he handed the dagger to Roland de Poyer, "And with great determination." ”

"This is not a good thing for us nobles. Roland de Poye's face deepened, "Besides, what idea did you give him, if they really got the child, I really had no choice but to pinch my nose and admit it." ”

"Come on," Mu disagreed, "You were planning to admit it a long time ago, didn't you?" Or did your 'negotiation' with Agna improve?"

"How is that possible," Roland touched his nose, "how could that proud knight lady agree to such a request?"

"Then again," Boyer said, "at first I thought he was just angry at what I was doing when he rejected those noble ladies, but I really didn't expect to be so attached to that woman, and it seems that I must go and see her." ”

"By the way, haven't you talked to your son about it?"

"I want to," Roland smiled wryly, "but I get angry at the sight of his lowly scumbag, and finally... ”

"Okay," after two years of getting along, Mu Tai knew this boye's temper, so he had to say, "I wish you all the best." ”

Roland de Poyer nodded, "I'll have to help me then." With that, he turned and left.

Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and continued to Mu, "By the way, my chief guard told me that there have always been people who want to sneak into my castle recently, but they have been discovered by the guards. By the way, are you in trouble?"

"I've been in a lot of trouble. Mu smiled bitterly and shrugged.
