The aristocratic district of the imperial capital, inside the mansion of the Lester family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the study on the second floor, William looked at the invitation card in his hand and frowned.

The general meaning of this invitation is to invite William to be a guest at the Monro family, have a meal, and get to know each other.

Note that the signature of the invitation is the Grand Duke of Monro!

Duke, marquis, earl, son, male, in terms of titles alone, the Grand Duke of Montroe is the highest duke, and it is also hereditary. Regardless of the title and real power, the Grand Duke of Monroe is even more terrifying.

Not to mention the power of light or darkness in the hands of the Monro family, just the ministers and important ministers in the court, and even His Majesty the emperors of the past dynasties, their personal relations are very good with the Monro family.

However, no matter how noble the status of the Grand Duke of Montroe was, William did not know him at all.

Never met, never spoke, and looked like a complete stranger. If anything, it should be the beer business of the Lester family.

At that time, the Lester family had just produced beer and opened a tavern in Wildfire Town, but the Page family saw it at a glance and wanted to take it by force.

Afterwards, William and Young Master Lei Ao of the Montro family worked together to sign a contract to settle the matter. His affair with Schika and his acquaintance with Leo Monro took place at that time.

At this moment, William didn't want to go to the banquet, let alone offend the Grand Duke of Mengluo. He pondered for a while, but finally decided to go.

Outside the mansion, the big butler of the Monro family has been waiting for a long time.

William had ordered his subordinates to arrange a carriage to go to the Duke's Palace together, but the chief butler of the Monro family shook his head. He lifted the curtain of the carriage himself, bent down, and made a 'please enter' gesture.

William didn't know what the purpose of the Grand Duke of Montroe was, and he didn't understand why the old man in front of him was so respectful to him, and even arranged the carriage in advance.

He didn't think much about it, just sat in and prepared to go to the banquet alone.

At this time, the steward took the whip in his hand and drove the carriage himself.

William sat calmly in the carriage with a calm expression.

Everyone doesn't care. He drove the carriage to the Duke's Palace, and then led William to a garden in the Duke's Palace.

The garden is so large that it almost rivals the mansion of the Lester family. The butler led William around the garden to a small courtyard.

At this time, the chief butler bowed and retreated.

William looked around and saw a thin old man in his seventies and eighties, and a woman in a white princess dress and a simple and elegant dress, sitting in the small courtyard.

At first, William was full of doubts, but when he saw the woman, his heart suddenly became clear.

Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess.

It turned out that it was not the Grand Duke of Mengluo who wanted to see him, but Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess who wanted to see herself.

When the fourth princess was growing her body, she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, her originally small breasts had bulged a lot, she was a lot more beautiful, and her height had grown a lot, almost reaching the height of William's shoulders.

However, one thing that hasn't changed is that the fourth princess still loves to laugh so much, sweet, and faint, just like the little girl next door.

Seeing the smart, studious, and polite Fourth Princess, William also showed a smile on his face. At the invitation of the old man, he also sat in the small courtyard.

At this time, the old man got up again and said, "I still have something to do, you young people talk slowly." ”

"Well, Uncle Monroop is going to be back soon, and the dinner prepared in the kitchen is almost ready. The fourth princess said obediently.

When the old man heard this, he smiled heartily and walked away.

After the Grand Duke of Mengluo left, only the four princesses and two people were left in the small courtyard. Outside the small courtyard, it was also quiet, and there was no one under it, only the occasional sound of insects in the muddy field of the flower garden.

"Teacher, I got the news of your return this afternoon, so I started to make arrangements. I wanted to go directly out of the palace to find you where you lived, but it was inconvenient. ”

The four princesses stared at William with beautiful eyes, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly explained with a smile.

William nodded slightly, "Although you recognize me as a teacher, it is really not good for you to come to me directly and be seen." Besides, seeing me today isn't going to be as simple as having dinner, is it?"

"Well, there is good news for the teacher, but at the same time, there is one thing that I would like to ask the teacher for help. As the fourth princess was talking, several subordinates and cooks appeared outside the small courtyard, bringing up plates of sumptuous dishes.

After all the people who served the food left, William smiled and asked, "What good news, what help?"

The fourth princess poured a glass of wine, held the wine glass in both hands, made a congratulatory gesture to William, and said, "First of all, congratulations to the teacher on becoming an earl!"

After speaking, the four princesses raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

Maybe the wine was too strong, maybe the fourth princess was not good at drinking, and she drank too quickly, so she was choked directly, and her little face was red.

"The little ones don't drink back. William reproached.

The fourth princess's face was even more ruddy, as if the wine was emanating, and she answered, but she still stubbornly drank the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp.

At the end, the fourth princess raised her head and smiled sweetly: "Thank you for your concern." Last year, I took over the work of the inspector and went to the teacher's water city to have a look, and when I returned to the imperial capital, I told my father everything I had learned. ”

"Father was very surprised that the teacher could build a water city in a place like Haimanxing Province. Afterwards, my father looked at the territory of the Imperial Haiman Province, and after learning that the teacher's water city had become the hub of the Haiman Province, he was even happier, and felt that he had not seen the wrong person at the beginning."

"Therefore, at this state banquet, the father will be knighted for the teacher, and the title will be promoted from viscount to baron. and temporarily assumed the post of governor of Haimanxing Province. ”

After a pause, the fourth princess smiled and said, "Teacher, continue to work hard! With the teacher's ability, it won't be long before the official governor position of Haiman Province is all teacher's!"

When William heard this, a smile appeared in his mouth: "For this matter, you have said good things in front of Your Majesty, right?"

The fourth princess smiled faintly and stopped talking.

William continued, "Now that the good news is over, what about the things I want to help? I can't help you with big things. ”

"Well, it's a very simple thing, and the teacher will definitely be able to do it. ”

The fourth princess said, took out a delicate knife inlaid with sapphires, and placed it on the table: "Teacher, please help me give this knife to Prince Barron's eldest son, Brown Lil." ”

When William heard this, he was slightly stunned.

The fourth princess said with a serious face: "Teacher, I know this request is a bit strange. But no one else is fit to do it except you. Also, this matter must be kept secret and not let anyone else know!"

William was even more puzzled. The fourth princess refused to say more, reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, handed it to William, and poured a glass of wine for William: "Teacher, this pastry is delicious, you try it." (To be continued.) )
