Chapter 321 Nature is irrepressible, just like a spring, the harder you press, the higher it will bounce
Vigros placed his delicate knife and fork on the table, he picked up the napkin and dipped the sauce on his lips, and asked suspiciously, "Mother, is it bothering you?" Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's an incredible thing, and in order to set a positive image for Vigros, Mirona always maintains her demeanor and upbringing. Dinner, an essential item of the day, was a very important family activity for the aristocracy, and it was very rude to wander away.
Many people may think that in an aristocratic family, family members do not need to follow strict etiquette and dogma with each other, but this is not the case. The older and more noble the aristocracy, the more they care about these things, and the more they pay attention to them. This brings us to the greatest difference between the aristocracy and the untouchables - upbringing. Only the nobles are educated, and it is natural that in order to prove their identity, the nobles must also maintain their demeanor at all times.
Anything that tarnishes one's image is seen as an "inferior habit", including wandering during dinner.
"Mother, is there any problem? Is it about the Count of Wren?", Vigros tried to make himself look like a little adult, but his childish face could not associate him with the key word maturity, and at the age of only six or seven years, making a serious appearance made people feel cute. He also had some worries, having been haunted by Mirona since she heard that Wren was coming to Veneil.
The young Vigros didn't know what Rennes' arrival meant, he only knew that it caused some "trouble" for Mirona.
Facing her son's concerned look, Mirona smiled, shook her head gently, and moved gracefully like a noble swan, "It's nothing, think of something." She collected her emotions and cut off a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth, her full red lips tightly wrapped around the silver fork, which was slowly pulled away from the squeezing of the two lip flaps. What she said was simple, but in fact, she was worried in her heart. She had expected that after Borson's death, Wren would come after hearing of his death.
By that time, Bolson's death was a foregone conclusion, and Vigros had rightfully taken over the military and political power of Veneer, so even if Wren wanted to have a seizure, he would need to consider the negative impact he would have on the orphans and widows. After all, at that time, no one can say how Bolson died, and even if Wren really found out the truth, people would be on the weaker side.
But this should never happen at this moment, when Wren appointed Boltson to temporarily take over the military and political power of Wirer, and wait for Vigros to return power to him when he came of age. If it can be proved that Borson's illness is due to Mirona, then Wren will have a reason to have a seizure, and the residents and nobles who would have been on her side will remain relatively neutral. No one likes a vicious woman, especially a woman who poisons her "husband".
If she is imprisoned or sentenced, what will Vigros do? How will the young Vigros face the complexity of the city, and will he be at the mercy of those loyal to Rennes as puppets, or even assassinated before he reaches adulthood?
Mirona has nothing left, only this child. She can do anything for Vigros.
Seeing his mother's smile, Vigros was satisfied and picked up the knife and fork again, dinner is a very important family activity, in the process of dinner, the members of the family will summarize and discuss what has happened in this day, "There was a fire in Dongxue Lane today, it is said that it was caused by an accident when a civilian family was heating, but fortunately, it was put out in time and did not cause more damage." I arranged for the civilians who had lost their homes to spend the winter on our estates outside the city, and found them a job so that they could have some income. When spring begins, I want to rebuild their houses at the expense of the lord's house. ”
After Borson's illness, most of the things were overhung on Mirona, and she would always pick out the things that weren't so difficult to handle and leave them to Vigros to do. The aristocratic elite education gave Vigros a very mature thinking ability, and he was still capable of doing such a simple job. A child of this age has not yet been polluted by this cruel world, and he has relatively retained a sense of innocence and kindness.
Mirona nodded, very satisfied with Vigros's handling of the matter, the nobles also need to show their human side when necessary to win the support of the commoners. This is a point that Mirona only discovered after Angelo's death. If Angelo had had received more support from civilians, Sean might not have been able to do those horrible things. Civilians will voluntarily protect Angelo instead of choosing to sit idly by.
This is a bloody lesson that must be remembered.
"You are doing very well, I will gradually give you more things to do, of course, you can't let go of your studies. I know you can be very tired, and as the lord of this city, sometimes you have to sacrifice some personal space after the scenery and decency. I hope you understand me, and I apologize to you about that, kid, I shouldn't have done that. Mirona's appetite was not good, and the steak was already full after only half a piece.
That incident is about Vigros secretly running around the Lord's Mansion out of curiosity or playfulness. Mirona happened to look for him, but she didn't find him, only to learn later that Vigros had left the Lord's Mansion with the escort and went out into the streets. She was suddenly angry and frightened, and as her and Angelo's only child, Vigros couldn't afford to lose. She immediately had Vigros brought back, who, according to the guards, was found wearing normal clothes and playing with the children of the civilians under the protection of the guards.
Vigros was beaten up by Mirona when he got it back, but after the beating, Mirona fell into deep remorse. She understands too well the yearning and desire of children at this age for play, and she is erasing all the happiness that children of this age should have.
Vigros strained his face, "No, I should apologize to you, as a lord, I should spend more time studying than playing with those children......", he said this, but there was a kind of disappointment and helplessness in his eyes.
Mirona seemed to notice this, and then said: "Every weekend afternoon, you can go out, but you must bring a guard, and you can't go to the lower [] city and slums, only near the lord's palace and in the upper [] city. ”
Vigros couldn't believe his ears, his mother, who had always been very strict with him, would give him half a day's vacation, and he almost jumped up with joy. Just as he was about to cheer, he remembered the demeanor that nobles should maintain, and he immediately straightened his spine again and nodded slowly, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
Wren arrived at Veneil the next day at noon, and his arrival did not alarm too many people. The carriage stopped directly inside the Lord's Mansion, and when he got out of the carriage, Mirona and Vigros were already standing at the foot of the steps of the Lord's Mansion to greet him.
"Hello, ma'am. Wren took Mirona's raised palm and kissed her on the back. Nowadays, few people will take the initiative to kiss the hand except those women themselves. After Empress Pars ascended the throne, subtly, whether the men recognized it or not, the status of women was faintly improved. Most of the time they prefer to shake hands to express their closeness, which makes them feel that they are equal to men.
As for whether it is self-deception, that is another matter.
Wren put down Mirona's soft hand and looked at Vigros again, immediately smiling. He held out his hand, not treating Vigros as inferior to himself just because he was a child, "It's a pleasure to see you here, Lord Vigros. ”
Vigros wore a parted head and a well-fashioned handmade garment, his face was straight, but his eyes were full of excitement. Children at this age always hope that those adults can face themselves up to themselves, and not treat themselves as little things that don't understand anything. He shook Wren's hand reservedly, and with a touch of the touch, "I'm glad to see you here, Count Wren." ”
It was precisely because of his young age that he didn't know much that when Wren said the word "lord", his mother tensed up.
"Please, we've prepared a hearty lunch, and you're ready to eat when you're freshened up. Vigros led the way for Wren, and his style made Yelvina laugh.
Wren also found it amusing and couldn't help asking, "Vigros, do you want me to hold you?"
Vigros's eyes lit up, but he shook his head, "Count Wren, please respect my identity. ”
Vigros actually likes Wren, who is probably the youngest and most respectful nobleman here. The other aristocrats always treated him like a child, either rubbing his head or pinching his face, which made him very embarrassed.
Yelvina couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Vigros looked at her and coughed lightly, "Pay attention to your appearance, ma'am. ”
Unfortunately, this sentence did not have any effect, but made Yelvina laugh louder, "It's so funny!", and said half-crouching to take Vigros into his arms, rubbing his little face fiercely. Vigros struggled, how could he break free from the arms of an adult, and could only show a helpless face.
"I hate that, ma'am!", he resisted.
