12. Heirs of the family
He Yin pressed her swollen temples, she had been sitting here listening to her father, Duke He Qian, for three hours.
Two and a half months later, on the goddess's birthday, she will receive the ceremony of conferment of the title of heir.
He Qian began to tell the history of the He family from the beginning of the founding of the Thorn Empire.
The father didn't seem to be saddened by his son's escape, and he had been telling He Yin about his family history sensibly and seriously.
It's like my brother doesn't exist. ’
The person sitting in front of her, whom she called her father, had a favorable opinion of her only about 20 percent.
And after her first yawn, her favorability dropped to fifteen percent.
However, she didn't have any emotional needs for her parents for a long time, so she was only thinking about how to go to the academy by herself tomorrow, and how to go to the next block alone.
"Ayin, I don't want to talk about your brother's affairs anymore, the reason why Your Majesty did not punish the family is because in the long five hundred and thirty years, our family has made any mistakes. So, remember, think about your family before doing anything. Duke He Qian deliberately put on a tired appearance and beckoned to He Yin. "Come and help me straighten my collar, I'll be to the barracks in the afternoon. ”
He Yin had never been close to his parents, and walked over a little at a loss.
"Ayin, you are better than your sister and brother, and you will inherit our family's family business in the future. ”
She didn't know how to tidy up her collar, so she reached out and patted He Gan's shoulder and collar twice like dust.
"Thank you for your trust. Because of the lack of experience in communicating with serious parents, He Yin can only say this kind of thing.
The awkward conversation would have continued, if it weren't for He Li suddenly barging in.
"Dad, you make Ayin the heir!" she burst into tears. "Just because I don't have heraldic powers, I'm a crippled person. ”
Then she suddenly saw He Yin also standing there, and immediately stopped crying.
"Me. He Yin bowed his head and walked to the door. "Then, father, I'll go to my mother's place first. ”
He Li was still holding a handkerchief in her hand, she also felt completely embarrassed, she had never shown herself too short in front of He Yin, and she had always shown that she didn't care about the fact that she didn't have heraldic power.
"You don't have to bother your mother, you go outside, as an heir, you should no longer just stay in the boudoir as before, you should also go and see the world. He Qian was actually afraid that He Yin's present and past would cause his wife's unhappiness, so that she would notice something wrong.
"Good. He Yin Zheng was worried that there was no reason to go out, although it was not early in the morning, if he took a carriage to Hailland Street, he could also take a walk around before curfew and then go home.
She took a maid and a manservant out of the house.
The upper block, Croatian Street, is the closest to Haillandstrasse, but most of the people here are men, as it sells weapons, pipes, and books.
The Thorn Empire, like all feudal countries, most women don't like to read, and their life's rush is to get married, and even women with heraldic power are rarely able to really like these things.
"Hello, please hand me the silver sword blessed with the wolf's head crest. He Yin remembers that during the afternoon drill, many people had their own weapons.
"Hmm, let me see. It's a young lady!" a tall, thin old man with round-rimmed glasses stretched out his withered hand and handed her a sword with a wolf's head carved into its scabbard. "This sword is too heavy and may not suit you well. ”
He Yin handed the sword to the manservant next to him. "Whatever suits me, please give it to me, but I need this too. ”
The old man shook his head, and without even drawing his sword to try it, he immediately decided to buy it, and it must have been a great noble lady who came out to buy a gift for his father and brother.
"The soft whip, you see, can be used as a weapon and can be tied to the wrist. ”
He Yin took it, threw it into the air, and a gust of wind swept up, overturning the potted plants placed on both sides of the road in front of him, and the manservant hurriedly ran over and discussed the matter of compensation with the sheriff who was running next to him.
"You have heraldic powers?" said Covey.
'What kind of cool heraldic power do I have, just wave it in my hand. In fact, He Yin herself wondered that she couldn't even move a watermelon before.
"Yes, sir. So is there a more convenient weapon?" He Yin pretended to be unfathomable, and put the whip back into the hands of the boss Covey.
"The undead thorns of the temple. He turned on the heraldic power and carefully observed the heraldic aura distributed in He Yin's body.
In Ruijin's book, her heraldic power appears on the thorn strip.
"Immortal thorns?" she had heard for the first time, that thorns could be used as weapons.
"It won't wither. Covey nodded. "Wait a minute. With that, he went into the inner room.
He Yin asked the maid to glance at the time, there were still three hours before the curfew, and it would take about forty minutes to go home from here.
She just found one of the most famous weapons shops and took a casual look, where did she know that the owner was very idle, and even dragged her to try weapons repeatedly.
"You try this. He handed He Yin a brown and blackened thorn strip, there was no place to put his hand on it, He Yin didn't know how to hold it, it was full of thorns.
"Do you have gloves?" asked He Yin sincerely.
"No gloves are needed, the thorn doesn't hurt your delicate skin, it's only lethal when it's wielded. Pai Kewei handed it to He Yin with both hands.
The feel is indeed soft, and after He Yin held it steady, he gently aimed at the ground and waved it.
It's not more powerful.
The thorn strip is ugly, He Yin shook his head. "Give me a soft whip. ”
Pai Covey said regretfully, "You must be better suited to Thorn Strip, trust me." This one of mine is so bad that you can get used to it first and then look for a better thorn later. ”
"Alright then, wrap up both weapons, and pick a box that looks better and is more portable. He Yin agreed perfunctorily, and did not forget to explain the matter of the shopkeeper's packaging.
She couldn't afford to waste any more time here.
But how to go to Hail Street alone, He Yin has been shopping for an hour, and still hasn't figured out a way.
"Marianne, I need to go to the wine shop on my own, buy some gifts for my friends at school, and you wait for me in the carriage. Dorado Liquor Store was on his way to Hail Street, and He Yin casually made up a reason.
"Miss, I can accompany you. The maid's fifty percent favorability on her head made He Yin reject her unscrupulously.
"No, Marianne, your clothes, everyone can recognize them at a glance as servants of the He family, your back is embroidered with the family crest, our family has just had that kind of thing, we should be more low-key. He Yin casually made up a reason.
The young maid, Marianne, was convinced, and bowed her head sadly. "I'll be waiting for you here. ”
He Yin had already taken a step towards the wine.
When he passed by the manservant, he was still negotiating with the sheriff over the issue of compensation.
