"Jingle bell—"

The sound of the bell is crisp and melodious, hovering in the courtyard for a long time.

Rosalind blinked, reached out and plucked a bell from the decorated tree, and then carefully replaced the small beads in the bell with a stone and shook it again.

The sound of the stone bell is far less crisp than that of the integrated beads, nor melodious enough, more or less obscure, and it doesn't sound so good.

But Rosalind didn't seem to care at all, just smiled.

Lynn, who had already passed by the courtyard, turned back and asked suspiciously, "Rosa, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Ahh Rosalind trembled as if she was frightened, but quickly reacted, holding the bell and saying, "I guessed right, the stone really can't replace the contents of the bell!" ”

“.”

When this sentence was spoken, Rao was Lynn, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Why did she have such an idea? Or do you want to get to the bottom of it and ask her how she found out?

It's better to honestly choose to shut up, otherwise

Lynn felt that her IQ might also have deteriorated.

I don't know what Rosalind learns in class every day in the academy, martial arts and martial arts are not good, magic is not good, and she studies and likes some strange things every day.

Like lying on the balcony and counting how many stars there are, going to the jungle to find out if there are two identical leaves, and looking for the world's most special philosophical topic, "Is there a chicken or an egg?" and so on.

In short, in the eyes of adults, she doesn't do anything, she just wants to figure out the truth of the world every day.

In this regard, Lynn didn't bother to stop him.

Now that my younger siblings have grown up, they have their own thoughts, and they are considered to be independent people.

No matter how strange what they want to do, no matter how weird it is in the eyes of others, as long as they want to do it, Lynn can't control it - as long as they don't implicate their families.

Shaking his head and throwing the thoughts out of his head, he pushed open the door of the house.

It's Gods' Day, and the Blazer family's mansion has long been decorated with lights for the evening reunion.

- Actually, the decoration of Lynn's house is relatively simple.

Because for the nobles, their banquets have always had to stay up all night, which is considered a tradition, so there must be more things to prepare, and the Lynn family obviously does not mean that.

Their festival is not prepared to invite other guests, the people who come are all their own family members, or. A future family member?

"Hiss"

Thinking of the troubles that might be coming, Lynn quickly cut off her thoughts, put the last batch of things in her hand for decoration on the table, and called the servants to take them and install them.

Clapping his hands, he was about to go back to the couch for a nap and wait for the time to pass until nightfall.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again.

"Big brother."

It was a little low, but a faint and calm voice came from the doorway.

This voice is a male voice, which is a little unfamiliar.

Lynn looked up in surprise and found that although the voice was unfamiliar, people were not unfamiliar.

"Good afternoon, Reg." Lynn smiled, "How's it going, how are you doing in the military?" ”

"Well, it's not bad."

"Oh? It's true? There was a slight teasing hint in Lynn's tone, "Don't lie to us, if you get tired of being in the army and run out to be an adventurer yourself, we won't say anything." ”

“.” Regg's old face flushed, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

About a year ago, Reg dropped out of the Rheinland Institute, and the reason was that he couldn't stand the popularity of others.

Reg entered the knighthood department of the Rhine Academy a year after Lynn dropped out of school, and because of his surname, he should have been more or less affected, but because he had an older brother in front of him, he didn't suffer a lot of overt criticism like Lynn.

Of course, there is no such thing on the surface, but it is still indispensable in the secret.

After all, Lynn's time in the academy was still shorter, and he couldn't convince everyone, and it just so happened that your little brother was enrolled, and I couldn't beat you, couldn't I beat him?

Therefore, there are actually a lot of setbacks for Regg.

And because of his personality, he didn't want his family to know and didn't want to trouble his family, so he always used the excuse of studying and didn't want to go home to hide the scars he left behind in the battle.

Over time, even the extremely introverted himself felt alienated from his family.

But it had to be done, because it wasn't long before Rosalind came, and he didn't want his sister to try the bitter fruit of the beating again—though Rosalind didn't bother to go to school later.

In short, in the constant beatings and fights, his strength has indeed ushered in a good improvement.

Although it is not as talented as his brother, it is okay compared to most people.

Subsequently, because of his acceptable strength and good personality, he met a friend from a family of battlefields, and in the later Rhine Civil War, they all took advantage of the vacation to run out to participate in the hand.

In addition, he is a knight who is suitable for running on the battlefield, so he has a strong idea of becoming a soldier.

It's just that this idea should not be officially launched when he graduates many years later, but he didn't expect that the people in the academy suddenly stopped bullying him, and even began to curry favor with him.

For oh, his brother is ascending upwards!

With Riege's character, how could he stand such a pursuit, and he also had a little self-esteem, and wanted to make his achievements belong only to himself, and not to be stained with other people's traces, so he dropped out of school directly without making a sound.

It's not over yet.

He did it secretly by himself, didn't tell his family, and then because he was afraid that his family would find out and be beaten, he had a bad idea - to find a reason for the retreat to go to school and not go home, and exchange letters every week.

However, trying to hide from Lynn, who has already sat on a high position in the kingdom, can only be said to be too naïve.

He doesn't need to investigate, naturally someone will send him this information related to him.

After that, whenever Reg remembered the stupid things he had done, and the envelopes that had been framed and hung in the living room, he wanted to go back in time and give himself a few big mouths.

This is the typical example of self-pretentious cleverness!

"Don't laugh at me, big brother." Regg, who was scratching his arm awkwardly, said angrily, "You better think about how you are going to greet my 'sisters-in-law' next." ”

“.”

Regg's counterattack proved to be very effective, and Lynn's laughter soon stopped.

He said with a sad face, "Mother has really caused me a big trouble." ”

"Then are you going to blame your mother?" Reg asked rhetorically, "She just wants to hold her grandson, what's wrong with her." ”

Being scolded by his younger brother like this, Lynn's eyes gradually became a little dangerous, and then disappeared again, and smiled kindly.

"Regg, I remember you're old too, right?"

"Click-"

The long sword in Reg's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he suddenly shouted loudly.

"Oh no, I suddenly remembered something"

Lynn watched speechlessly as he flashed his back as he scurried upstairs.

This sentence is naturally an absolute lie, because he hasn't even figured out how to make it up.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a reason to get out anyway, and it doesn't matter how clumsy it is.

After all, in front of the family.

"It's really a two people who don't know how to save their mother's worries, it's still me."

Shaking her head helplessly, Lynn suddenly caught a glimpse of the window on the side.

It was snowing heavily, and the windows were covered with hoarfrost, faintly reflecting his face.

At this time, the contours of his face have long faded away, and his facial features are still competing, but they are already full of mature charm.

Of course, Lynn naturally cares not about her own face, which she has seen all her life.

He reached out and kneaded his aching apple muscles.

"It's been a long time since I've laughed like this."

Only by staying with your family can you laugh out loud from the bottom of your heart.

Returning to the sofa and feeling the warmth from the fire, Lynn actually felt a little tired for a while.

"Well, let's take a break."

When Lynn woke up, it was already dark.

Looking at the time, he was relieved to see that it hadn't even been dinner yet.

If you miss such an important thing, you may be talked about for a lifetime.

After going to the bathroom to wash his face, Lynn looked at himself in the mirror, and recalled his mother's blessings from his youth, he took a deep breath and smiled.

"You can't be sad when you greet guests."

"You have to laugh a little bit."

"It's just. It's a strange laugh."

Although he usually treats people with a smiling face, that kind of smile does not represent a smile, but a symbolic meaning.

As a leader who has grown into a leader, he must maintain this state of ease and contentment at all times, anytime, anywhere.

Only in this way will the follower's heart to follow be stronger; The fear of the fearful will only grow the fear.

In the future, even if he suffers setbacks and encounters hardships, people will subconsciously dare not fall into the well when they see his smile.

What if, he can make a comeback?

In short, this kind of polite smile can only be for outsiders, and for family members, every expression is more comfortable than such an expression.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he recycled his stiff smiling face, walked downstairs, and saw his mother and sister chatting by the fire, so the smile that had been softened by the fire resurfaced.

"Down?"

Mrs. Blazer glanced at Lynn and then withdrew it, and said casually, "Later, you will pick up the people yourself, we will not accompany you." ”

"Know, know"

Lynn was responding perfunctorily, and before the words could land, he heard a report from an attendant at the door.

"Sir, a guest is coming."

"It's coming, it's coming!" Rosalind was immediately excited, tugging at her mother's clothes and saying, "I bet Sister Erin will be the first to come!" ”

"She's so powerful, she has to be the first in everything, she can't be one step behind others!!"

"Oh? Is it? Madame Blazer smiled and said, "Then I will bet with you that the person who will come will not be the duchess." ”

"Huh?!" Rosalind had a question mark on her head, but seeing that her mother was confident, she didn't think that her mother was just teasing her, so curious, she slipped out after Lynn and then came back.

She was shocked and said, "Mom, that's amazing! ”

"You guessed it right!!"

Madame Blazer smiled and said leisurely, "Rosa, you, you have experienced too little. Indeed, as you said, the young lady was a proud person, but whoever said that a proud person must be the first. ”

"On stage, there's a word called 'finale.'"

"The most important people and stories are to be played at the end."

"Oh yes"

After Rosalind said this, she scratched her head for a long time, and she didn't understand why she was right.

"In short, Mom is the best, Mom is right!"

"Poof—"

Mrs. Blazer finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Rosa, you're so cute."

With a sigh of relief, she turned her head to look at the woman who was following Lynn, "Miss Christine, what do you think?" ”

"Ahh Corina shuddered, "I think my mother is right. Wrong!! ”

"Huh! Is it actually an informal young lady? Madame Blazer suddenly looked distressed, "Oh, I seem to be a little too stereotypical, Rosa, what can I do?" ”

"Huh??"

Rosalind looked up blankly.

What to do? She was analyzing what Sister Corina said just now, was her mother right, or was her mother wrong?

In just one sentence, her CPU is about to burn up, how can she still listen to what her mother said, what should I do!

"Oops"

Corina took two steps back to the door and hid behind Lynn, "You, you don't, don't do this."

"Hah-"

Mrs. Blazer squinted and smiled, and did not say anything more, but just winked at Lynn.

Lynn blinked vigorously, her eyes full of gratitude.

So, no matter what, whatever happens, as long as you encounter difficulties, your mother will definitely stand by her side to help her.

Look, Mrs. Blazer just said this, and Corina, who wanted to force her face to remain calm and not to be "rude" when she entered the door, had completely torn off her disguise, and under the forced pull of Mrs. Blazer's words, she involuntarily "must" get closer.

It's like now, because of the sentence "I'm too stereotypical" just now, she doesn't dare to sit in the farthest place she expected from everyone.

If someone extends an olive branch and you don't take it, it would be too rude.

While praying in her heart for the blessing of the goddess, she sat down tremblingly against Rosalind, and Corina just wanted to take a deep breath to ease her emotions, but she heard Rosalynd suddenly pull her arm and ask in a low voice.

"Sister Kelina, so what you said just now was your mother right or your mother was wrong?"

“.”

At this moment, only this moment, Corina really wanted to die.
