The stall was not far from his house, and he hurried through the main road, over the gate, and rushed into his yard to the greetings of the servants and servants, and ran all the way to the bedside, and poured out the money in the box, and counted it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Forty-four new gold coins, more than a dozen old gold coins, and a handful of silver coins, but not enough!

Damn, could it be that I went back and told the boss that the money was not cheap enough? How could it be! The young man thought about it in distress, packed up the gold coins, and ran to his father's residence...... Although the Duke doesn't have to go to work every day, he doesn't know what he's busy with running out for three days, and he is definitely not at home at the moment.

"Aunt Yani~"

"What's the matter, little Luo. The slender blonde woman asked with a smile.

Aunt Yani is her father's lover, slightly younger than the Duchess, not as beautiful as her mother but a little heroic, she likes sports, and often practices swords with Rhodes in the yard, and has a close relationship with him.

You heard it right, it's a strange thing: it's normal for a big nobleman to have a dozen lovers, but Rod's father actually let her lover live at home, and he also gave her and the child she had given her last name. What's even more strange is that the Duchess has no opinion on this, and even has a close relationship with Aunt Yani...... Although she is called Auntie, Rhodes actually feels more like a big sister.

The Duke had stared at his wife with tenderness, and joked with the children that their mother had been kidnapped by her own adventure, and Aunt Yani added with a smile that she had also picked up the Duchess by the side of the road as they passed by a high wall...... It is these little things that make Rhodes have a special expectation for the word "adventure".

"Brother, play with me. A blonde and blue-eyed, white and cute little girl ran over and grabbed his clothes, and when she found that she couldn't hold his waist, she grabbed his thighs and looked up at him expectantly.

Rod had no choice but to bend down and tease his little half-sister, and after standing up straight, he said with a little twist, "Lend me some money." ”

"What are you going to do if you want money?" Yani was a little surprised, and then shook her head: "I don't have any money, your mother is in charge of the money at home, and I also ask her for it when I want to use it." ”

"Don't you have a few gold coins?"

"No, go find your mother, have a good attitude and be sweeter, when will she not give you money to spend. ”

"Okay. ”

......

In the small garden behind the main house, the shadows of tall trees hide the sunshine as it begins to set, birds sing in the woods, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. The Duchess reclined lazily in a large, comfortable chaise longue in the shade of a tree, with a large area of fair skin exposed under the neckline of her breathable, loose loungewear. She was pleasantly flipping through a book of advanced magic in her hand, and she didn't move at all when she noticed the teenager's intrusion.

"Mother~" Rod approached from behind, wrapped his arms around the beautiful woman, and put his face close to her ear.

"What do you want to do, this little slippery head?"

"I'm going to buy something, almost money. Sniffing the familiar and pleasant smell of his mother, Rhodes carefully organized his words...... He was a little in awe of his mother, he really couldn't ask for money this time, but as long as he hadn't made a mistake recently and wasn't too demanding, she should have agreed.

"I remember you had a lot of money in your bedside box. Archmage Raven put down the book in his hand and asked a little strangely, "What about the money, could it be that it was stolen by the next person?"

"Yes, but not enough. I'm going to buy something nice and give it to my most beautiful mother. Rod said flatteringly, not forgetting to add a sentence to explain the dilemma: "I told the boss that I wanted to buy it, and now he is waiting outside!"

The son's compliment provoked the woman to chuckle: "Okay, don't be flamboyant...... How much?"

"Hmm...... XVI Mild. "Since my mother was relieved, it would be better to pay for it directly with sixty new gold coins, and it would be a bit shameless to grab a bunch of scattered coins of different styles and denominations to pay.

The Duchess flattened her mouth, as if surprised by the amount of money she wanted...... The Foster family is trusted by Emperor Kell, and the duke's power is well known to the powerful, but he is not known for his wealth and extravagance.

Of course, "not being famous for being rich" and not having money are two different things. Although there was no treasury in the mansion, the Duke of Foster was a fiefdom, and the close proximity of the imperial capital and the flat and beautiful scenery of Upper Winway County made it an ideal place for the rich to build villas and racecourses for vacation and leisure, and to do so was to pay rent to the landlord, the Duke of Fačen. The female mage raised her hand slightly, her slender and slender fingers made a small circle in the air, and in a slight restrained fluctuation of magic power, sixteen brand-new gold coins with golden glitter flew out of the window of the room, piercing the air and flying accurately in front of the young man across a distance of dozens of meters, falling and neatly stacked on the marble table next to the chaise longue: "How much do you buy?"

"Sixty. ”

"Well, your dad's salary for half a year. ”

"Hey, hey. Rod scratched his head in embarrassment, and although the salary was only a fraction of the family's income, it was true in itself.

The female mage pinched her son's face dotingly: "If you want money, I'll give it to you, buy things honestly for two days, don't slay dragons in front of your father all day long, mother doesn't want to raise dragons." ”

"Uh-huh. The boy nodded repeatedly, grabbed the gold coins on the table and threw them into his bag, and ran out of the garden with the heavy money bag. Behind her, the Duchess shook her head helplessly, raised the book in her hand, and continued reading from the place where she had been interrupted.

＊＊＊

Panting and returning to the stall, the situation in front of him surprised the young man a little, and two teams of dozens of red-clothed and red-armored Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard soldiers surrounded the scene, as if they wanted to drive away the stall setters.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"When you weren't there just now, that guy wanted to add a gold coin to buy that little fox, but the stall owner refused...... So he reported it to the patrolling Praetorian Guards, saying that the business here had reached his house. Roy said lightly, "It's clear that this place is still a few miles away from his house." ”

"Foster Son, you can help me say something, I have a license to set up a stall here!" The boss, who was blocked by two soldiers, saw the boy and shouted loudly, "I can't make a noise at all, I didn't even use magic to amplify the sound!"

"The guy surnamed Jian Long can't get along with me, and the next time I see him, I will definitely teach him a lesson. Rod said angrily. "It's good that I came back quickly. I bought something here!"

"I'm sorry, Prince Foster, but if someone reports it, they must move the place, this is a rule, and it will not work if there is permission," it is true that Duke Foster is the commander of the imperial army, but all the troops are still loyal to the emperor in the end, not to mention that the Praetorian Guard in the imperial capital is a special armed force directly under the emperor, and they don't buy the boy's account at all. These soldiers have dealt with the children of the nobles a lot, and they know that as long as they don't fight, scold, or lock up and insult the family, no adult will stand up for their children and have trouble with the Praetorian Guards.

"Childe bought something?" asked the other captain kindly, although he was going to take business seriously, but it was always right to give the future heir of the Foster family some face: "Then take the things and go, and the stall will be moved immediately." ”

Rod was a little annoyed, but the person who was against him at the moment was not there and there was nothing to do, so he had to throw the money bag to the boss: "I've wronged you, go somewhere else, what about my fox?"
