025. What a hassle

"Simon, let me ask you, what are you looking for today?"

"It's to inquire about business bases."

"What else is going on?"

"Nope."

Simon understood what Bran meant, and immediately responded to Bran, completely forgetting about this plan and never thinking about it again.

Halfway through, Bran did not go back to Vestana, but to the Roman house he had bought.

As soon as he entered the house, Hilde had his things ready.

Bran opened it and looked at it, satisfied.

"Tomorrow you go to the market and find a German-speaking Schwabian, or a slave, buy him."

"Yes."

Heard thought to himself that the hostess was about to appear, and he should learn the language as well.

"How's the printing press?"

"I'm experimenting with a new ink formula, and it's better than the last one, and the words are clearer."

Hield deliberately rolled up his sleeves before entering, allowing Bran to see his burned scar.

In fact, it could have been avoided, but he still deliberately left these shallow scars that would take a while to heal.

During his studies with the baker, Heard learned that when you are given a task, in addition to actually completing it, it is best to let people know your hard work.

In this way, he believed that His Highness did not ask, but he would also keep it in his heart.

The details are absolutely successful or bad, he has not read a book, but he has learned from life.

The next morning, the Swabian convoy was already preparing to return home, and Bran's carriage had not arrived for a long time.

Vesta excused himself that something was missing, and asked the servants to look for him in the garden and room, delaying the departure time.

Emily didn't demolish it, delaying the convoy.

Agan and Howard rode on their horses and chatted with each other.

The two of them were talking about the affairs of the Franks.

"I sent someone to try to contact Ge Xiu, and there has been a response, but I can't lift him from house arrest."

Howard sighed again.

"If I think of a way, I will definitely rescue my brother......"

After Agang injured people in the Frankish court, it was also the help of his second brother Ge Xiu that he was able to escape.

"I heard that Heydrian's movements are not small, after Provence was taken, he also sent people to the Castile League, and stored a lot of food, maybe this winter, Swabian will be affected, you have to deal with it carefully." Howard kindly reminded.

"It shouldn't be that in the past two years, Swabian has concentrated on fighting Bavaria, and has also exchanged land with the Franks, and the two sides have a truce...... Speaking of the first time I accompanied my father into the palace, when I first met Heyderian, I was only eight years old, and he was a three-year-old child who couldn't even walk, and now he kills people more ruthlessly than anyone else, and was excommunicated by Pope Lujo II, it's just ......"

"Power makes people grow."

As the two confronted, Bran appeared in a formal attire on horseback.

"Grandfather, uncle."

"Vesta is waiting for you." Agorn pointed to a carriage.

And the servants also hurried to inform the royal daughter Vesta in the car.

Bran nodded and rode slowly.

Love at first sight didn't happen to him, but in Vesta his heart, it took root.

The servant pulled the curtain, and Vesta and Bran, who came directly to him, looked at each other.

Bran brings a gift.

After he dismounted, Vesta stepped out of the carriage.

"Have a nice trip." Bran greeted first.

"You...... Will come to Swabia ...... Look at me? I want you to come. ”

Bran didn't answer, and he pulled out a beautiful "jewelry box".

At this time, the jewelry was decorated with simple boxes, like this one carved out of oak wood and sticky to the leather, which was the first time Vesta had seen it.

Bran slowly opened it up, revealing something that made Vista's eyes light up.

It is a necklace of the utmost beauty.

The pure gold chain features emeralds, pearls, toad stones, rubies, white gold, and sapphires.

Bran told his uncle that Vesta liked sapphires the most, so he put them in a prominent center.

After Albert was told the idea of this kind of jewel string, Bran imitated his previous life, and the two families collaborated to make all kinds of precious objects from Rome onwards.

A few days ago, Bran found a craftsman to find one of the first pieces of jewelry to be put on the market, and repurposed it to please Vesta.

"It's beautiful!"

"Allow me to bring it for you."

Vesta turned, and Bran brushed his hands through the string-like hair, then put the necklace on.

Vesta wanted to return the gift, but there was nothing very special on him, and after Bran understood, he opened his arms, "A hug is enough".

Bran hugged it hard and whispered in the German ear he had jotted down yesterday, "I remember your scent, Vesta." ”

This is a Swabian love proverb.

After the separation, Bran watched her uncle leave very politely, and Vesta asked the coachman to drive as slowly as she could, she poked her head out and looked at Bran, until she could no longer see Bran's face clearly, and then she was reluctant to sit on the cushion in the car, her eyes were red, and tears fell unconsciously.

"We'll see you again." Aunt Emily, who is also a woman, was also attracted by this necklace, "The hands of the Roman craftsmen are wonderful!"

After the carriage is far away and the mood calms down.

"Bran said that every day, he would write to me, and from this day on, I would have to learn Italian and High French so that I could listen to what he had to say......," Vesta said, her face sad again, she knew that her marriage would ultimately require the nod of her grandparents.

"If the elders let me marry other nobles in the kingdom? For example, the 'Grana' family, I heard my grandmother talk about it once, and they mentioned it to my grandfather last year. ”

Emily smiled, "I raised you with your uncle, we love what you love, and will help you, child." As for the Grana family...... Emily's tone turned cold, "hundreds of years ago, they were just lowly pirates, and after arriving in the Franks, they lost the battle and were driven away, and we Swabian gave them a way to go, sheltering this group of vagrants, and giving them titles and land, which is a great grace, but that's all, I want to marry with the royal family, dream!"

With the Grana family supporting the king's second son, and Emily supporting his eldest son, who died young, the two factions were in flames until one was extinguished by the other, and the fight could not be ended until one was extinguished by the other.

After Bran sent Vesta away, Howard also left, leaving Bran in Rome, and the day before he re-entered the Order of Knights, Bran went to meet another woman, the cousin of his comrade Leary Dan.

There's going to be another one.

"Women are such a nuisance."

Late at night, in the study, Bran let out a long sigh.

When I went to visit the Dan family, Leary's wedding day had passed, but the decoration in the courtyard had not been completely removed.

Bran also prepared a jewelry necklace as a gift for the bride.

Iron Mountain and Bran are in the same car, sitting opposite Bran, closer to the front of the car and the door, this practice has a consideration, when the enemy sneaks attack, he must see Iron Mountain first, not Bran, so Iron Mountain can passively take two more sword damage to protect the owner.
