Chapter 115: The Gift
Situ Jin and Gawain came to the mansion of the Marquis of Li Kerst again, unlike the last time they came to the dinner, now the manor is very quiet, the two rode straight to the door of the villa, handed over the horse to the subordinates of the Marquis of Li Kerster's mansion, and walked into the villa hall under the leadership of a guard.
As soon as I entered the hall, I happened to see the Marquise of Lee Kerst who was coming down from the upper floor, this lady was wearing a lake-green dress today, with a simple bun on her head, and her whole demeanor flashed with a dynamic and luxurious charming. Although there was a hint of sorrow on her delicate face, which made the lady look even more amorous.
Seeing Situ Jin, a flash of light flashed in Mrs. Li Kerster's eyes, and then Lianbu moved lightly and walked in front of Situ Jin.
"Young Master Situ, you're here!" said Mrs. Lee Kerst softly.
When he met a woman like Mrs. Lee Kerster, who was so outstanding in both appearance and temperament, even if Situ Jin didn't want to admit it, this woman was indeed lethal to him.
Any normal man, when he sees Mrs. Lee Kerster, must not have no reaction at all, Situ Jin is also a man, when facing beautiful people and things, there will be ups and downs in his heart, but for him it is just that, he has never thought about it at a deeper level.
Watching Mrs. Lee Kerst walk in front of him step by step, Situ Jin's eyes showed an undisguised look of appreciation, as if admiring a beautiful work of art, and Situ Jin's eyes did not contain any other color. But it was this clean and undisguised gaze of appreciation that made Mrs. Lee Kerster's heart beat uncontrollably.
"Madam, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Situ Jin nodded slightly.
As soon as Situ Jin finished speaking, Mrs. Li Kerst suddenly took a step closer to Situ Jin, and then said in a low voice: "If the Marquis gives you something in a while, don't refuse, just accept it!"
In Situ Jin's puzzled gaze, Mrs. Lee Kerst said softly: "If you don't accept it, he won't give up." ”
Situ Jin glanced at Mrs. Lee Kerster, then did not say anything more, and followed the guard directly up the stairs on the side of the hall.
Gao Wen followed behind Situ Jin, and suddenly said in Situ Jin's ear: "Situ, why do I think that Mrs. Lee Kerst looks at you a little differently?"
Hearing Gao Wen's words, Situ Jin glanced at Gao Wen and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense here, don't forget what kind of place this is!"
Gao Wen squinted at Situ Jin, but his expression was disapproving.
In the innermost room on the second floor, Stuart finally met the Marquis of Lee Kerst. Although the old marquis had woken up, his complexion was obviously not good, leaning on a mahogany rocking chair, covered with a delicate animal skin, revealing a sense of weakness and powerlessness all over his body, seeing Situ Jin, a pale smile appeared on the old marquis's face.
It stands to reason that the Marquis of Lee Kerst is in such a bad state that he should not have invited anyone to meet him. However, when the old marquis had just regained consciousness, he remembered that he had almost died before, and he was terrified.
A person like Marquis Lee Kerster, who wants money and has hidden power, he doesn't have too much to live, but he is most afraid that he will die suddenly, and saving his life is definitely the top priority for him.
Situ Jin saved his life at a critical moment, and this kind of kindness was equivalent to the great favor of Tianzi No. 1 for the old marquis. The more he cherished his life, the more urgent it was for the Marquis of Lee Kerst to see Situ Jin so that he could thank him in person for saving his life.
Of course, how grateful you are to your savior, how angry you are at the person who wants to kill you.
Not long after the old marquis woke up yesterday, Baron Dulles had already come to visit the old marquis, and when he came, he looked depressed, and when he left, his face was even more ugly, all because Dulles did not catch the murderer who wanted to kill the Marquis of Lee Kerster, and it is conceivable that the old marquis would not give this lord of the city any good face.
However, Dulles had no choice, the assassin only left a back at that time, and no other clues were left, since no one was caught on the night of the assassin's murder, let alone easily catch anyone in the future, unless there was some miracle, otherwise this matter could only be solved like this.
The meeting between Situ Jin and the Marquis of Li Kester was indeed as Mrs. Li Kester expected, and after a few polite words, the old Marquis opened his mouth to give Situ Jin a big gift, in addition to the other big villa that he said before to give Situ Jin, he also added 500 war horses and 500 refined short swords, not to mention the short sword, 500 war horses are definitely not ordinary gifts.
You must know that the reason why the Yarrow Empire has drastically reduced the number of knights in the past hundred years is because it costs too much money to raise knights, and in terms of the money spent, war horses definitely account for the super majority.
Not to mention too good war horses, on the market, it is a very ordinary war horse, and you don't want to buy it without spending a few hundred gold coins. And with war horses, there must be servants who specialize in taking care of war horses, which is a huge amount of manpower expenses, even if the Yarrow Empire is a big country, it can't afford to raise too many knights.
Marquis Lee Kerst gave Situ Jin 500 war horses, such a valuable gift, even Gawain couldn't help but be shocked.
"Lord Marquis, these gifts are too valuable, forgive me" After thinking about it for a while, Situ Jin still decided to directly refuse the Marquis of Li Kester.
But before he finished speaking, the old marquis had already interrupted him: "Do you think that my old man's life is not worth these things?"
Situ Jin did not speak.
The old and resolute voice of the Marquis of Lee Kerst sounded again: "If you do not accept these gifts from me, then I can only send someone to invite you to my place every day!"
The corners of Situ Jin's mouth twitched, thinking of what Mrs. Lee Kerst had just said to him downstairs, and finally nodded: "Then I will accept these gifts from you!
Seeing that Situ Jin finally relented, the old marquis nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, the reason why Marquis Li Kerst wanted to give Situ Jin so many things was not just to thank Situ Jin for saving his life, a person with such status as him, if he was too stingy with his life-saving benefactor, he would inevitably say something unpleasant when others knew about it.
Although he didn't care what the commoners thought of him, in the aristocratic circle, the Marquis of Lee Kerst was still quite face-saving. In addition, Situ Jin is not an ordinary noble child, he is the son of Situ Nan, and giving him a gift is not a potential move to make friends with the Situ family.
The family surnamed Li really deserves to be the richest man in the empire and the richest party, the old marquis just waved his hand casually, and Situ Jin already has an immovable asset under his name that covers a large area, not counting the war horse and short sword! Out of the manor of Earl Li Kerster, Gawain still felt a little incredulous.
After a while, he said: "This old thing, it's really rich!"
