Chapter 350: The Wedding
"Your Highness, yesterday Princess Celivia burned the gifts sent to her by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and the news of severing ties with the Fisabrun family has spread all over Raging Bear City, and the knights and civil officials of the family, as well as the nobles of those territories, are all praising Her Royal Highness's wise act, and there is now a chorus of applause for her becoming the head of the family......" Fat Shi, who came to see Lorist the next afternoon, was full of praise for Princess Selivia's burning of gifts yesterday. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lorist couldn't laugh or cry, this man's brain really had any idea as soon as he opened it. Princess Celivia was angry yesterday, she was really heartbroken when she saw that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun had given her all the things she had left in the family, and she thought in her heart that this was the family's move to give her as a gift to Lorlist, and swept all her things out of the house, no longer thinking that she was a member of the Fisabrun family. Otherwise, she knew that November was the wedding period between her and Lorlist, but why didn't even a member of the family come to attend, which was clearly a sign of grace and righteousness.
So Princess Celivia is sad and aggrieved in her heart, and when she is angry, she wants to burn these toys, clothes and daily necessities that have accompanied her since she was a child, anyway, if you don't recognize me, then I won't recognize you either, and when things are burned clean, you don't have to look at things and think about things, and the Fisabrun family will have nothing to do with me in the future.
Lorist had been with Princess Celivia for one night, and in this respect he found that this girl was really very simple-minded, like a girl in her teens who had not grown up. However, if you think about the environment in which Princess Celivia grew up, you can understand that she has lived under the protection of her godmother Xiandi Great Swordsman since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is praised by others, how can she know that people's hearts are sinister. Just like this time, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun sent her old things and the old servants who served her to grow up, she simply thought that the Fisabrun family had really abandoned her, so she made the act of burning the things as if she was angry.
And Lorist thought farther at the first time because of his dark mind, and he had always been wary of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, so he thought that the things and old servants that Princess Celebron had used since she was a child sent by the Grand Duke of Cisabrun did not mean that the Celebron family wanted to abandon Princess Celevia, but on the contrary, she was reminding Princess Celevia not to forget that she was a member of the Philabulum family, and to send these old things over was to let her not forget the experience and years of growing up in the family. Otherwise, there is no need to send things away, and these old servants come over to make Princess Celevia have reliable henchmen available in her daily life, and on the other hand, there is a guarantee for someone who will send a letter back to the family or something in the future...... As for not allowing the people of the Fisabrun family to come to the wedding, it was also for fear that Lorist would be vigilant.
However, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun would never have expected that the normally intelligent Princess Celevia would be so fragile and innocent in terms of emotion, and the result was just the opposite. Lorlist's stomach hurt with laughter at that time, but she had to put on a sad and tribulated expression on her face to comfort the silly girl. He believed that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun would be stunned when he received the reply from the Archsteward of Aricado and the two messengers of Napple, and regretted that he had made a wrong decision. Hehe, old fellow, you didn't think there would be such a misunderstanding, it will be difficult to explain it clearly in the future, a thorn is pierced in the heart, but it is very difficult to pull it out to easily heal the wound.
What seemed to Lorist was a very simple thing, but now it was gossiped that Princess Celevia burned the gift sent by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun for the righteousness of the Norton family, and severed the relationship with the Fisabrun family, so that this rumor won a lot of applause as soon as it spread. No one is a fool, and everyone can conclude from the fact that the Rock Legion is still located on the border of the Southern Province and the Eastern Wilderness Province, and the family's reformation and expansion of the Huntsman Legion, even though an armistice has been signed with the Fisabrun family, the Norton family still regards the Fisabrun family as an imaginary enemy, and has not relaxed its precautions, and has even begun to prepare for the next war between the two families that has not yet broken out.
Of course, Lorist did not refute this statement, on the contrary, he was happy to see it. It's just that he summoned Tagger and instructed him to send people to strictly guard the dozen or so old servants of the Fisabrun family, and never let them stay in the family territory and wait for an opportunity. It stands to reason that Princess Celivia has rewarded them heavily, and even if they are removed from the Fisabrun family, they can go to live elsewhere. Under such circumstances, those who decided to stay in Angry Bear City or Northland were all people with ulterior motives, and it was impossible for Lorist to allow them to stay in Northland or Angry Bear City to find a chance to meet Princess Celivia again, but I was afraid that when the girl's heart softened and let them follow her again, it would be a nail in the family.
After sending Tagger away, Lorist fell on the sofa tiredly, last night Celivia cried and cried and couldn't sleep well, even with him couldn't sleep well, and had to get up from time to time to see her: "Alas, let's say, how many nobles are you going to meet today?"
"No need, I've asked the guards to refuse all those who want to ask for a visit to His Highness today, and today you can rest for a day. "Shi Fatzi is still very considerate of this.
"Very good, thank you. Lorist rolled over on the couch, ready to find a more comfortable position for a good night's sleep: "Then you'll take care of the rest." By the way, it's the wedding day in seven days, have you arranged everything?"
"Don't worry, you're all set. But after His Highness gets married, are you going to live here, or do you want to go out for a walk?" asked Shi Fatzi.
Although the Gelinthia continent does not have the custom of honeymoon after marriage like Lorist in his previous life, the tradition of the nobility is to go out for a walk after marriage, usually family territory, and some go to places with good scenery to play, the time is longer or shorter. There was once a king in history, after getting married, he took his wife out for more than three years, almost all the countries on the mainland, and when he returned home, he had children, which was recorded as the longest post-marriage trip in history.
"Well, go to Sakura Ridge Manor to live, not in the city. "Soon it's winter, and I'm too lazy to go out," Lorist said. It's in the winter at Sakura Ridge Manor. In April and May next year, I will take Celivia to visit the family territory to visit and inspect the family's various armed regiments and local garrisons. Anyway, we won't make any big moves next year, just stabilize the territory and rest the family's armament first. You're in charge of the administrative stuff. “
Shi Fatzi nodded: "That's okay, I have a number in my heart, you can rest." ”
The wedding of Lorist and Princess Celevia cost 1.37 million goldfords, which was called the most expensive wedding in a century by the nobles. In fact, the cost of the wedding is only more than 100,000 yuan, and the main thing is the cost of gifts is the biggest expense. In order to achieve the purpose of celebration throughout the territory, each lord will receive a celebratory gift including a small silver coin, a pound of meat and a pound of ale for men, and a beautiful tableware or household item for women. The soldiers who served in the family armed forces were rewarded with wine and meat and a large silver coin.
This gift alone cost nearly 800,000 goldfords, and Speer is not stingy this time, first, the Jinling gold mine has been put into official operation and mining, and it is estimated that it will increase the family's income by 2 million next year. The second is to sign an armistice agreement with the Fisabrun family, and sell a large number of commodities and goods, so that the family has made a windfall and is full of confidence.
Lorist said that in the past three years, the family has been busy fighting the Duchy of Madras and the Kingdom of Iberia, which has affected the commodity trading of those production shops in the family territory to a certain extent, and the warehouses are full of goods that cannot be sold, and the economy is a little sluggish. Sending these goods as gifts will not only clear the warehouses so that these production farms can resume production next year and stimulate economic growth, but also make the people who have received the gifts get used to using these beautiful daily necessities that are expensive to them, so that they can spend the money later instead of burying it in the ground.
Director Speer thinks that what Lorist said is very reasonable, just like the wine and meat given to the people this time, the family has exchanged nearly a million cattle and sheep from the Fisabrunn family with standard armament a few years ago, and turned all the western parts of the Northland into pasture. Originally, I thought that there would be a great demand for beef and mutton with up to one million family leaders, but I didn't expect that in addition to the majority of the family's armed purchases, the people usually eat very economically, and they only buy a little beef and mutton a month to taste fresh. People who are used to suffering are like this, and they like to save money and hide it in case they need it. Then the cattle and sheep in the western pastures multiplied much faster, and the pasture was almost insufficient. I had to kill a batch every year to make bacon or something for easy storage and collection.
Taking advantage of the wedding to distribute celebratory gifts to each of the lords, the Nortons conducted a very detailed census of the inhabitants of the Northlands, narrowing the error in the number of lords to within double digits. The results of the census found that the number of people in the Northland had reached 1,670,000, returning to the total population of the Northland during the heyday of the former Cresian Empire. That's a remarkable number. Although most of the current people are immigrants, it can be estimated how much damage the Northlands were caused by the seven years of the Imperial Civil War and the chaotic wars between the Northland nobles during the time of Grand Duke Lukins.
There is nothing to say about the process of the wedding, it is nothing more than the whole city is full of lights, wine and meat, although there are not many official residents of Angry Bear City, but the entire Northland is still crowded with people who are qualified to come to watch the ceremony. First, Lorist and Princess Celevia rode around the city in a magnificent carriage, then held a large-scale grand buffet banquet and ball in the central castle to entertain all the nobles and their families, until the silver moon rose in the evening, and Lorist and Princess Celevia appeared on a makeshift high platform, bathed in the silver moonlight, and in the presence of all the noble guests, they swore to the heavenly silver moon to respect and love each other, and they swore a very sensual love vow of one heart and one mind, exchanged rings, and finally a invited bishop of the Temple of the God of War declared that they were legally married in the presence of the god of war and the goddess of the silver moon......
This is the most traditional model of the aristocratic wedding in the Gelinthia continent, anyway, it leaves the feeling that Lorist is the same as the wedding in the previous life, it is all a routine, and the bride and groom are at the mercy of others. In his previous life, Lorist took over his father's small handicraft factory after returning home from the army, and worked hard to bring this small factory back to life. When the condition of the factory improved, he found that he was over thirty, so relatives from all walks of life, two aunts and three aunts took turns to introduce him to him, and he met eight times a month at most.
At first, he was full of longing, hoping to find a like-minded partner, but soon he got tired, and the girls who lived at the turn of the century were very realistic, and the most important thing to pay attention to when going on a blind date was the garage and savings. In the end, he didn't care, he was not picky when he went on a blind date with his wife who later became him, and they lived together after dating for more than two months, and they got married when their stomachs got bigger. Life after marriage can only be described as uneventful, and there is no common language between husband and wife. It doesn't matter if my wife is not a virgin, after all, few of the people who have grown up in the past have mixed up in college to undergraduate, and Lorist is not demanding, and the pick-up man also admits it.
The problem is that he and his wife always have opposite views, although he is not highly educated, but he has finally shed blood and made meritorious contributions to the national army, but this period of time that made him proud has become something that only a fool will do in the eyes of his wife, thinking that he wasted his youth and the best years. If he didn't go to the army to study seriously, maybe he would have been able to develop his small factory into a large company, issue shares, earn a lot of money, and go abroad to emigrate.
That quarrel happened in front of one of his comrades-in-arms who came to visit him, and he was furious and hit a woman for the first time, giving his wife a hateful slap, followed by a cold war for more than half a year, the two sides didn't say a word, if it weren't for the reluctance of their daughter and the fact that they didn't want their children to be hurt, the two would have divorced a long time ago. The result of the husband and wife sleeping in separate beds was that he hugged his newly recruited secretary to bed, anyway, his newly married secretary who was more than ten years younger than him was very open, and he didn't mind helping him solve his man's urgency, not to mention that she and her husband didn't have a good relationship......
All the impressions of his previous life gradually faded in Lorist's mind, and now that he has integrated into this new world called Gelintea, he sometimes feels that everything in his previous life is a dream of Nanke, not his own experience. He is the head of the House of Norton, Grand Duke of the Northlands, and Duke of the Kingdom of Antinac. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under him, and he is invincible when he gives orders. Now there is such a beautiful elf-like girl who has become his wife, just as those netizens said in his previous life, he is at the peak of his life at this moment......
At the end of the ceremony, Princess Celivia strolled around the noisy hall with Lorist by the arm, receiving congratulations and blessings from the knights, civil officials, and nobles of the Norton family. The beautiful face is filled with a happy smile, and it looks even more gorgeous and extraordinary, and the complexion is radiant.
When the clock struck midnight, Lorist accompanied Princess Celivia back to their new house. Compared with Lorlist, who is impatient with those nobles and is a little mentally exhausted, Princess Celivia is worried, this is the most important night of her life, and she will give her most precious innocence to the person she loves most.
After returning to the new house, in order to hide her inner excitement, anxiety and fear, Princess Celivia began to have nothing to do, cooking Michels for Lorlist, wiping the table, making the bed, and after being busy for a long time, she found that she had nothing to do before she felt that she was sweating, so she called two maids to bring hot water to herself and prepare for a bath......
Lorist didn't think as much as Princess Celivia, and she still wanted to run away with the meat in her mouth? So he also let Princess Celivia toss. In addition, he felt very tired, his heart was tired. During this time, it really feels very tiring to deal with those nobles, the whole thing is like wearing a mask, saying insincere words with a hypocritical smile, and pretending to be a deferential expression, which makes people feel like a spring breeze to show their attention, which is too embarrassing and tiring. Sometimes Lorist felt that it would be easier to face the siege of ten third-level great swordsmen than to deal with these nobles.
As soon as I thought that I would have to deal with these nobles in the future, Lorist felt numb in his scalp, nothing is simple, and the same is true for nobles, this job is not easy to do, obviously two or three sentences can express a clear meaning, but these nobles went around and said for a long time before he euphemistically took a side, Lorist shook his head self-deprecatingly, his status is high, others are also cautious when they speak, and he is afraid that he will not be angry if he expresses it badly, why bother, it is not easy for everyone. I'm so tired, let's go to bed and lie down for a while......
So when Celivia came out of the shower disappointed, she saw Lorist lying on the bed and sleeping...... Princess Celivia was furious all at once, bastard, this is the most important night of my life, and you are sleeping like this?
Princess Celivia didn't care that the bath towel that covered Miaoman's body fell to the ground, so she threw herself naked on the bed, revealing her fine silver teeth, and bit down on Lorliste's shoulder with hatred......
Oh...... (To be continued.) )
