5 January, London, Lambers District, Nightingale Club.

As soon as the year passed, the shops on the streets began to open, workers returned to work, factories on the outskirts of the city produced goods, chimneys billowed soot, and everything returned to normal order.

The sky was overcast and raining, the raindrops were beating against the windows, and in the club's private lounge, the eldest prince Charles was holding a quaint book, leaning back on the soft sofa, enjoying a peaceful afternoon tea time.

There is nothing more relaxing than resting on a rainy day, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, the eldest prince Charles relaxed, comfortably crossed Erlang's legs, and took a sip of the black tea on the table.

Just when he thought the afternoon would be peaceful, there was a soft knock on the door of the lounge.

Nicks, the white-gloved butler, pushed open the door, quietly walked behind the eldest prince Charles, and whispered in his ear: "I have just received news that Mr. Felix von Manstein is watching Miss Helena perform in the theater. ”

"Is there anyone else but him?"

"No, he's alone."

"Oh...."The eldest prince lowered his eyes, but did not react.

"Your Highness, according to the information provided by our informant, Mr. Nicholas has reached a cooperation agreement with the second prince Shukri, and they have been getting together often recently, and Mr. Felix is the younger brother of Mr. Nicholas, should we ..... Keep him away from Miss Helena? The butler asked.

The eldest prince closed the book, put the book on the table casually, picked up the tweezers, put a sugar cube into the teacup and stirred slowly, and said in a gentle tone: "The tea is bitter and not delicious, but if you add milk and sugar, it will immediately become a delicious milk tea, which has a different flavor..."

The butler didn't understand the hint of the eldest prince: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."

"Mr. Nicholas, who reached a cooperation agreement with Shukri, is like black tea without milk and sugar to us, which is difficult to swallow." The eldest prince said, "But if we add condiments to the tea, won't this cup of black tea become delicious?" To do things, you have to use your brain to think, and turn decay into magic, which is what smart people should do. ”

"I understand, Your Highness, you want to plant an eyeliner next to Mr. Nicholas and get information about him and His Royal Highness the Second Prince." The butler nodded: "I'll arrange it." ”

After saying that, the butler was about to turn and leave, but the eldest prince suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, I'm not done yet."

"Your Highness, what else do you command?"

"You don't fully understand the meaning of what I just said." The eldest prince glanced at the butler: "If you want to make the tea delicious, you need to add specific condiments, and add other seasonings, which will only make the tea more unpalatable." ”

This time, the butler knew what the eldest prince meant, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, you have already chosen someone, right?" ”

"Send an invitation to 27 Flower Street, and in Helena's name, invite Mr. Felix to a wine tasting tonight at the Marquis de Brecken's villa."

The Marquess of Brecon is the behind-the-scenes owner of the Covent Royal Opera House, and he's technically Helena's leader, helping the Grand Prince run many properties, including a winery in Birmingham City.

"Remember, only Felix is invited, and the others are left alone."

"Yes."

"And." The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "When you go to No. 27 Flower Street, buy some sleeping toast and come back, and if there are other potions, take some of each." ”

"Yes."

In the evening, an elderly maid arrived at Flower Street in a horse-drawn carriage and stared at the blackboard outside the door for a while before pushing the door open and entering the store.

Jingle Bell –

The dimly lit shop was empty, and the maid thought that Ma Wei was not at home, and when she walked to the counter, she found Ma Wei lying on the recliner behind the counter, with a newspaper on her chest, as if she was asleep.

"Is there anything you can do?"

Yunia, who was sitting behind the counter playing graffiti, looked up and looked at her curiously.

"Oh...."

The maid glanced at the sleeping Mavi, took out an invitation with fire paint from her bosom, and put it on the counter: "I am Miss Helena Sheffield's live-in maid, and this letter is to be forwarded to Mr. Felix von Manstein." ”

"Okay, I got it." Yunia took the envelope and continued to draw on the paper with charcoal.

"I still want to buy something."

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing that the maid was going to buy something, Yunia quickly jumped out of her chair, ran quickly into the backstage, and after a while, led Edward out.

"What are you going to buy?" Edward asked.

"Sleepy toast, mercury blood, and the billboards outside.... Tickle chocolate? It's a weird name..."

Itchy chocolate is a limited product launched by Ma Weixin, which is extremely simple to make, as long as you add a few drops of water soaked in blue moon algae and the skin of heart tail grass to it when making chocolate.

The peeled rhizome of the hearttail grass is one of the materials for making the blood of mercury, and the peeled skin will make people itch all over the body, just like having prickly heat.

People who eat itchy chocolate not only itch all over their bodies, but also have diarrhea, which is not fatal, but it can definitely make people collapse.

】

Itchy chocolate was specially prepared for Daniel by Ma Wei, and at the end of this month, Daniel will go to school at Yinton College, in order to allow him to quickly establish a good relationship with his classmates.... Bring something weird, of course.

After all, in the eyes of other classmates, Daniel's family sells potions, and the novelties he brought to school will definitely cause a lot of turmoil in the school.

As long as the effect is good, are you still worried about no customers?

The boys who are qualified to attend Yindun College are not short of money at all....

Soon, Edward packed the goods, handed them to the maid, paid for them, and the maid left the shop in a hurry, she had just left on her front feet....

Ma Wei opened his eyes on his hind feet and picked up the invitation on the counter.

On the surface of the white invitation, there is a line of small letters:

【Greetings from Mr. Felix von Manstein】

After thinking about it, Ma Wei pressed the urge to tear open the invitation, lay back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Edward wondered.

Ma Wei snorted: "This is an invitation letter from someone to Felix, what qualifications do I have to open it?" ”

"The maid bought a lot of potions, and Miss Helena couldn't use them, so she must have been instructed by someone else, and this invitation is the same, it's no problem to open it."

"I know." Ma Wei closed his eyes and said: "This letter must have been sent by the eldest prince, he could have asked Miss Helena to hand it over to Felix directly, there was no need to send it to the house, but he did it anyway, the purpose was to sow discord between me and Felix." ”

Edward looked at the invitation, and then at Ma Wei, his face expressionless, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart.

"Would you be happy if I touched something that belonged to you?" Ma Wei said quietly: "The invitation letter is written Mr. Felix's greetings, if I open the letter when Felix is out, what will Felix think when he comes back and sees it?" Respecting the privacy of others means respecting the personality of others.... The eldest prince actually used this kind of trick, it's really bad..."

"But you are Felix's eldest brother, blood is thicker than water, what can you do if you open a letter from him?"

Ma Wei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Edward sharply: "The collapse of trust is often in an instant, you think so, it's a big mistake!" ”

"We can ask Felix what is written on the letter when he returns, and we must not preemptively open the envelope before he returns!"

"Living under the same roof, even relatives can cause friction, privacy is the most important thing for a person, and it is very stupid to destroy the trust of others for the sake of one's own curiosity."

Ma Wei took out a shilling coin and put it on the counter, and said to Edward in a deep voice: "This shilling is mine, I will give it to you, you can touch it, I won't give it to you, you can't grab it!" ”

Jingle Bell –

The door of the store was pushed open, and the source came back humming a song, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere in the store was wrong, and he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong with you?"
