Chapter 3: Stupidity is the greatest original sin
"Three hundred gold coins, this is the limit I can bear. Hudson, you should know that this is not a small amount, and it is about to catch up with half a year's income of the territory. ”
The Baroness struggled. Why didn't Hudson laugh all the time, and didn't participate in the bargaining at all.
If it was the original owner, maybe he would have been fooled. The income of the territory for half a year sounds scary, but in fact, there is a lot of moisture in it.
If I only have this little income, I am afraid that I will not be able to fill the black bread. You must know that there were very few freemen in those days, and most of the people were serfs who depended on the nobility.
The entire Barony has a population of more than 10,000, and even if the math is only at the middle school level, Hudson knows that his income is more than just that.
Concealing income is also an unspoken rule of the aristocratic group. Although the king only collects commercial taxes, the church collects tithes!
As devout believers, it is natural that we cannot resist the tithes of the church. Then finding ways to suppress low income has become the best choice.
With an average annual income of less than one silver coin, some difficulty in eating forage, and the ability to pay tithes on time, it is clear that the Coslow family is the most devout believers in the Lord of the Dawn.
"Three hundred gold coins, plus a fine horse and a suit of armor. Hudson, you've become a knight and need to have your own knight gear. ”
The Baroness promised again.
Hearing this answer, Hudson rolled his eyes. This is clearly treating him as a child, becoming a knight does require equipment, but he believes that his cheap Lao Tzu will be ready.
As a traditional aristocrat, Baron Redman is very face-conscious, and he definitely does not make jokes about this.
Although he has many sons and his pockets are a little shriveled, isn't Lessur wasted?
Not only did it save a sum of money, but it also gave me a few more years of buffer, so it shouldn't be difficult to find it easy.
The Baroness couldn't see the situation clearly, and was still working hard for Lessur, but in fact he was abandoned from the day of the incident.
Family resources, don't even think about it. Even if Baron Redman was willing to continue investing, the other members of the Coslow family would not agree.
"400 gold!"
"Hudson, this is all the cash I can get my hands on, and if there is more, your father will find out."
The Baroness said helplessly.
Although he is nominally in charge of the finances of the palace, it is indeed Baron Redman who is actually in charge, and all he can use is his own small treasury, and there is really not much cash.
"The remaining 100 gold coins will be offset with real goods! Demon cores and spars are fine, and I don't think Mrs. will pay for this little money. ”
Hudson said magnanimously.
The expression of the underwhelming made the anger that the baroness had finally suppressed come out again. Before she could get mad, Hudson said again:
"Madame, go and fetch the money, and by the way, ask the Baron to come over, and I will first go and see poor Lysur." It's been hanging for almost three days, and there are still injuries on my body, and if it's delayed for a long time, no one knows what will happen. ”
After speaking, he turned around and left directly, without giving the baroness a chance to speak, as if he had eaten her.
With a sharp stomp of her foot, the enraged Baroness suddenly calmed down. can marry into a noble family as a merchant girl and sit firmly in the position of the main mother, maybe the political acumen is not good, but the house fighting skills are definitely not bad.
Now that there is a conflict, no matter what the reason, it is only himself who suffers, who will let his son cheat his mother?
If the outside world mistakenly thinks that she instructed her to steal the life essence, it will be the end of the calf. Divorce is hard in the continent of Aslant, but widowhood is very simple.
Unlike aristocratic marriages, baroness who are not strong in the maternal family can not withstand the toss.
……
Wandering through the ancient castle until the gold was in his account, Hudson slowly walked to the pillar that bound Lysur.
"Hanging" is obviously an exaggeration. Although the baron gave the order, the guards who carried it out were not dead-headed.
After all, it is the son of the baron, and if he accidentally receives a boxed lunch, they are the ones who are unlucky.
The original "hanging on the pillar" has been directly changed to "sitting by the pillar", and there are maids next to it to help drive away mosquitoes, and there is a plate of fruit not far away.
If it weren't for the fact that the ropes on Lysur's body were connected to the pillars, and the image of the cape, it would have been hard to believe that he was being punished.
Seeing Hudson coming, the two guards who were guarding were instantly embarrassed. Taking care of one young master, but offending another, is obviously not a wise choice.
Hudson is not a soft persimmon, and there are two older brothers on it, and it is no secret that the young master of the Baron's Mansion is divided into two camps.
With the inheritance on the one hand, and the support of the house's housewife, if it weren't for Baron Redman's pressure, it would have been a fuss a long time ago.
Take sides?
Don't make jokes, everyone is not stupid.
Now it depends on the face of the housemother, but in the future, you have to follow the other side, how to choose?
"Young Master Hudson, you're here!"
Nodding, Hudson had no idea of looking for the guards. In this hierarchical world, the survival of the little people is already difficult, and it is understandable that the left and right are all right.
"What's going on? Lysur, my poor brother, how are you tied up here? ”
"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly untie the rope and let him down! I'm poor ... ”
If people who don't know see this scene, they have to think that it is a deep brotherhood. In fact, the two people who are close in age have pinched from childhood to adulthood.
"That's enough, Hudson. I don't need you to pretend here, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been punished by my father!
Now, get out of here! I don't want to see you for a moment! ”
Lysur said with an almost growl.
Seeing this scene, Hudson was not only not annoyed, but became more and more affectionate.
"Poor Lysur, he is now a little delirious, and even your dearest brother does not recognize him.
Alas, forget it. Let him go first, my father's side will be borne by me, who let me be my brother, I can't watch my brother suffer!
……”
A touching scene, the guards looked at each other, and they forgot what to do for a while.
Before they could react, Hudson had already drawn his knight's sword and split the ropes, proving that he was serious.
At this moment, a dignified middle-aged man walked over, and it was Baron Redman.
Obviously, the scene just now all fell into his eyes.
He glared at the two guards fiercely, and kicked Lysur, who was sitting by the pillar. Without the slightest pause, he said, "Hudson stays, and the others roll down with this brute." ”
Seeing that everyone didn't react, the baroness who followed closely behind hurriedly added: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly take Young Master Lessur to heal his injuries!" ”
Even if it was well disguised, Hudson felt the baroness's heartache. Baron Redman's kick just now was not light, and it directly made people fly out three or four meters.
If it weren't for Lessur's good foundation and cultivation, he would be seriously injured if he didn't die on ordinary people. It can be seen that Baron Redman is really disappointed.
It's not terrible to make mistakes, but it's terrible to make mistakes without knowing it. In the aristocratic world, stupidity is the greatest original sin.
After everyone left, Redman looked at Hudson and said with a little relief: "The progress is very fast, but it's a pity that the performance just now was too much." ”
