335 The Prince and the Pauper
"Your Highness, why are you skipping school again?" Airo said helplessly, "It's not okay to skip school, let's go, we can catch up with the teacher for the next class." ”
"What truancy? I haven't even left school, how can I be considered truant? Louis replied pouting, he didn't want to pay attention to Ero, but who called Ero too stupid, and it took him a lesson to find him, he was so bored that he thought it would be nice to have someone, even the idiot Elo, talk?
"Uh-" Ero touched his head, he couldn't think of any way to crack Louie's quibbles, so he responded in his usual way, in the same way that he coped with all changes, "Anyway, you must be obedient to class, this is what His Majesty ordered-" He said as he bent down as usual to drag Louis back, it was not an easy task, but this time he stopped in shock at first, "You-you have been drinking?" ”
"How?" Louie snorted, "Can you handle it?" My mom doesn't care about me, can you manage it? ”
Not only did I drink it, but I drank too much, and the words before and after didn't make sense, and now it was troublesome, and Airo could only see the tricks: "Her Majesty didn't care about you, she told me to ......"
"Yes, she told you not to let me do this, not to let me do that, just as she told the nanny and the maid to ask me for this and for me," cried Louis, who, with the strength of his wine, poured out his discontent on his audience, "that is, when she rarely—occasionally—remembered! What else did she say to me, besides this bunch of 'no', 'you must'? Nothing! She remembers attending your aunt's wedding, and remembers asking her when she gave birth, but she doesn't remember what I look like! I doubt both. I wasn't born to her, she picked it up on the side of the road! ”
In response to his shout, Airo gasped. He was not good at improvisation, and at this time he encountered housework that was difficult for Qing officials to break. The object is still such a little prince in the rebellious period, which is enough of a headache for an experienced adult, let alone Airo! He stammered before he stammered: "Don't be like this, Your Majesty must love you, where in the world can a woman not love her own child?" She's just too busy. ”
"Humph!" Louie rolled his eyes, even if he had drunk too much, he didn't believe Aro's standard answer, "I used to think she was too busy, but she didn't care about me when she was free to paint!" ”
"...... "At this time, Airo can't think of any way to defend Her Majesty the Queen." However, if she knew, she would definitely reply in her heart: "Stupid mortal, he is not what I picked up from the side of the road, he is my phone bill...... Oh no, the crossing sent! "If she picked it up on the side of the road, she would have sent the other party to the orphanage early in the morning, not to mention anything else, the people inside are a hundred times more experienced than her in taking care of dolls. But Louie is indeed her own - the body she crossed - so she can only be a mother, in fact, if you look at it from an objective position rather than an idealized position, she is much better than many biological mothers, at least she can't do such things as infanticide. But Louis didn't know the cause and effect, and he was far from the age to be considerate of others, let alone understand what clothing design and foreign trade exports had to do with the country. Naturally, there is only dissatisfaction left with the Great Demon King.
When the young prince vented his anger against his companions, he was outside the high school courtyard wall. Mrs. Hatty led her little daughter through in a hurry, on their way to catch the entrance exams for the silk factory.
Once upon a time. Karl, the wool-buying merchant of Tournest, was a wealthy merchant, and even though he had been stripped of his wool monopoly by the current Archbishop of Neustria, he still had enough wealth to have a carriage and a servant, and lived a more comfortable life than ninety-nine percent of the people in the country, but he was attached to his lost wealth, fame, and status, and colluded with the exiled royal family. When the exiled royal family itself could not be protected, the friend who had been pinned on by Karl had high hopes and gifts, but was not loyal to the new government of Her Majesty the Queen in the past, and he was not loyal to his friend at the moment - he knew that on the new government's disposal list, Karl's family only had an evaluation of "unusable", but he threatened him that "the whole family will be disposed of", and Karl, who was kept in the dark, handed over all his family property to this "friend" to buy "documents", took his wife and children incognito, and took a boat to try to go into exile abroad. When the ship was about to say goodbye to Neustria, Karl fell ill - this time it was a real illness, and the family had to be delayed in Aronael.
Karl, a wealthy merchant who had been pampered and furthest away from the diocese of Tournest, was frightened, feared, regretted, distressed by the loss of generations of his family's property, unsatisfactory in his diet and clothing, and suffering from turbulence, and suffering from a very heavy illness. Originally, according to his intentions, he would rather die at sea than set foot in Aronael, the capital of the Great Demon King, but when foreign patients were still making pilgrimages to Aronael to buy all kinds of blessing medicines, the patients from their own countries ran out - which was also too strange - almost without the sign "I am a wanted criminal, I am running away", so the family had to disembark at Aronael.
However, the ship was dismounted, the family had no relatives in Aronael, and although the hospital here was the best in the mainland, it was an exaggeration, but it cost money, and the blessing candy bars that were asked for in the church to distribute to the poor did not have any effect on Carl's illness (because he was not like those poor people, he had a foundation). In this way, the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of Mrs. Hatty, who had never thought of being a parent before, she used to do some embroidery work to pass the time, and now she embroidered during the day and washed other people's clothes at night, and her son Charlie Jr. found a job feeding the horses of the city guard, but this money was only enough for them to live, not enough for Carl to see a doctor, so she had to send her young daughter to the workshop as well.
She never dreamed that one day, her daughter would go to work, and she never imagined that her daughter would have to try to pass the guò recruitment exam.
Her Majesty does not allow child labor, but there are still many parents who lack money due to illness and other reasons, and they will make their children lie about their age, so there is a wooden pole at the entrance of the workshop to measure the height, and this simple and crude method is used to reject unqualified candidates. For the first time, Miss Hattie didn't have a guò, and this time, they made a pair of high-soled wooden shoes overnight under the help of a kind landlord.
Miss Hattie of the past, with a pair of high-soled wooden shoes, clattered towards the "workshop" that she had never heard of before, and she clung to her mother's hand, for she did not know what would await her there. (To be continued......)
