Chapter 508 [Scene 2]
Ossie roared loudly when she was enraged, but when she finished yelling, she immediately came to her senses, and her face turned red.
What is "engaged to you at the beginning", now that I am talking about it, it is really not an appropriate topic. After all, a girl is engaged to two men one after another, and the two men are still brothers...... It's not a glorious thing.
Ossie said the wrong thing, and with great remorse in her heart, she simply waited to accept the mockery of this hateful Duke Tulip.
What would he say? Well, he must be very proud! He would definitely say to himself, "Hmph, you woman with no vision! You and your family didn't look down on me in the first place! I didn't expect that I would soar to the sky now!"
Yes, he should be proud, he does have the capital to be proud.
But Ossie waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for Du Wei's taunt, she looked at Du Wei intently, but found that this guy had a gentle smile on his face...... The eyes are still so clear and sincere.
He looked very good when he smiled. The eyes are slightly crooked. There was a smile in the corner of his eyes. Very relatable.
"You seem to be angry...... This matter has always bothered you. Du Weidi's voice was softer. There was even a hint of apology.
"You ......" Ossie was speechless.
Du Wei smiled, and suddenly reached out and pointed out the fence. In the courtyard of the Imperial Garden. There is a bench. And a few swings: "Tired of standing." Go sit down. ”
said. Naturally, he held out his hand. Pulled on Osie's arm. Ossie is a gangster. I was taken by the arm by this kid and walked into the garden.
There is really no beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden. After all, thorn flowers are planted here. And the thorn flower is really not a plant that has an ornamental xìng.
But at this moment, the stars are cold and the moon is cold, and the starlight and moonlight are sprinkled down. It's also quite peaceful.
After pulling Osie to sit down, Du Wei looked at the girl. He smiled and said, "I just learned from your local friend." You hate me so much. Or even ...... Hate. Right?"
"Yes!" Osie puffed out her chest, "I hate you very much, I hate your family!"
"I fully understand. Du Wei sighed. Luckily, Mannie had already said a lot to herself when she was dancing. Du Wei understood the situation in which the girl in front of him lived—it was indeed cruel to a young girl.
"I can apologize. Although I don't think it's my fault. Du Wei shrugged.
Ossie was speechless...... She is not an outrageous and unreasonable person. Intellectually, she knew very well that this place really had nothing to do with Du Wei. But after all, she was treated unfairly because of this incident. It was natural for her to have a dislike for Du Wei.
She was about to stand up and look at Du Wei, "That's what you're going to tell me?"
"Nope. Du Wei shook his head, but reached out and pressed Ossie on the shoulder. Smiled, "I just wanted to talk to you." Osilia ...... Well. Can I call you Ossie?"
"No!" Osie snorted.
"Okay. Osie. "Obviously. Du Weidi's skin was much thicker than she expected: "You know. My brother will be an adult in less than a year. When the time comes. I'm going to get you married...... Other words. We're about to be a family, so I don't expect our relationship to be so stiff. Do you understand?"
There was a pause. Du Wei sighed. The voice was sincere: "I love Gabry. He's my only brother. I hope since it's a family. Then you should love each other. Harmony. ”
Ossie was clearly on her toes - he. Is he showing goodwill to himself?
After Ossie became sensible. Every time she thought of the first time she had met the Duke Tulip. There are always various plots drawn in my mind. But there is usually only one scene: the other party mercilessly mocks and humiliates himself.
Who told his family to regret the marriage without beads?
I had a lot of scenes in my head like that. Even though she hadn't met Du Wei, Miss Osie had already ingrained Du Wei as an "enemy" in her heart. So. Psychologically speaking, she just behaved like a hedgehog in front of Du Weidi. In fact, it is a kind of subconscious, in order to prevent the other party from humiliating. and made a move to protect himself.
This psychology is subtle. Luckily, though. Du Wei was perfectly able to understand.
"We are not enemies in the near future. We will also become relatives. My brother is one of my closest relatives, and he's a smart boy. Our brotherly relationship is quite good. So, you will be his wife. I want to be in harmony within my family. Du Wei looked at the girl with a smile - he could see that the girl was actually very innocent: "I think we can be friends." ”
Ossie didn't speak, but Du Wei smiled very familiarly: "You don't speak." I'll just say yes to you. ”
"Lord Duke!" Osie tried to grimace.
"No, call me Du Wei. Or call me brother. Du Wei smiled and said, "You are my family, so you can call me that." ”
Brother, don't want it!
But Osie looked at the gentle and graceful young man in front of her. I couldn't help but feel a little shaken in my heart.
Brother...... I think of a few brothers in my family. One by one, they are all standard gentlemen. Ping rì will even talk to his girlfriends around him. Even when facing his sister. There is very little seriousness either. There are even a few cousins. Since childhood, he has coveted his beauty......
Comparatively. The guy in front of him who smiled very gently. And what he said just now sounded at least like an elder brother.
He...... It doesn't seem to be as bad as it seems.
There is no doubt about it. Dewey very. He is also very good at communicating with people. Or even to guide the topic - at least the center of the earth is simple and simple. It's absolutely impossible to say that Du Weidi.
In a word. Du Wei easily opened the conversation. Provoked an awkward atmosphere. Then it was easy to throw out a topic that one or two young girls were interested in. Then lead Ossie to speak.
Ossie tried to show her stubbornness at first. But soon she was unwittingly dismantled by Du Wei's defenses. The tone of his voice was also much more relaxed. Speech also gradually from one or two words. Turned into a sentence or two. Three or five sentences. Seven or eight sentences......
Even if I hate Du Wei very much...... All right. At least he's funny. Very empathetic.
"We were in the castle of the Plains of Lorraine. There is a yard at the back. I got some interesting stuff there. Oh. That's where the hot air balloon was invented. I've given that place to Gabry now, so I can let him take you there later...... Do you like to fly in a hot air balloon? Having land in the future is an opportunity. There are several large geothermal air balloons in the castle. And those fireworks ......."
"You mean. The Tulip family's fireworks?" Ossie was tempted.
How many half-grown children don't like to set off fireworks?
A triumphant smile flashed in Du Wei's eyes: "Of course! fireworks were first made in the castle. Now there is still a group of craftsmen there. This New Year's place fireworks. Many of them were brought from the Lorraine Plain. Now Ghabrie has taken over some of the family business...... Yes. That's right. I remembered something. ”
Du Wei pretended to remember something: "I almost forgot." Well. This New Year. Gabrie wrote me a letter. A gift was also prepared. Let me pass it on to you. ”
"Give me land...... New Year's gift?" Ossie suddenly felt a little proud in her heart!
fiancé by himself. At the time of the New Year's Land. From the far south. A gift was delivered......
Is this romantic?
Youngly girl. In an instant, my heart was filled with this fantasy and romantic thoughts.
Du Wei saw it in his eyes. I snickered in my heart: Sure enough. Young girls always love these places.
But Gabry...... He was careless. It stands to reason that he will be an adult next year. It should be at the time of this kind of festival. Prepare some gifts to send to dìdū. Give it to your fiancée.
Pity. Himself is not by his side. There are no brothers around him who can watch him do this kind of thing. Because of the death of my father. My mother has always been depressed. So it's rare to think about these little things.
"Yes...... What gift?" said Ossie. The voice was already a little eager.
Du Wei spread his hands: "Sorry, I forgot to bring it tonight." But tomorrow I can send someone to deliver it to you. Yes...... That's right. Are you interested in going to the tournament? You can go to my box. I'll have someone bring you a gift. ”
Tournaments?
Ossie was immediately moved.
For this popular dìdū land, there is a lot of excitement. How could she not be tempted? Although jousting is a favorite thing for men. However, for the noble ladies, this competition is not too cruel and bloody. It was lively enough, and there were many young and handsome samurai who participated...... There are still a lot of highlights.
But Ossie had been a little annoyed in her heart. Because...... This is also to blame for Du Wei! Tickets for the tournament are too expensive!
Of course. This is relative to the second and third floors of the aristocratic land.
A box on the third floor costs a few thousand gold coins!!Although her grandfather was the Minister of Finance of the Empire. But as an official, he is very incorruptible. There is not much real estate in the family, which is all to avoid gossip, so although the life is good, it is not luxurious. A big lady like her. The cost of a month's land is only a few dozen gold coins.
Not to mention spending thousands of gold coins to watch a martial arts competition.
Not to mention the VIP box on the third floor. Even if it's a second-floor seat. Nor can Osie afford it. As for the brothers in the family...... I spend all day and wine in Pingrì, and I don't have any spare money in my hands. My grandfather and father were very strict. It is even less likely that they will be allowed to spend money recklessly.
Ping rì up. The other little sisters talked about the game. Especially the daughter of the Marquis. The family booked a box on the third floor. Although the location is out of the way. has become her capital to show off.
What an old jiān cunning Du Wei is. Immediately, the change in the expression on the girl's face showed her thoughts. Laughing: "So be it." Tomorrow afternoon. I'll send someone to pick you up. You can watch the game in my box. And...... I'll play tomorrow. ”
Hum. It's best to see you flattened into a pig's head.
Ossie thought maliciously to herself. You can look at Du Wei's gentle smile. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
This time. Du Wei finally stood up......
Bang!
There was a loud bang in the sky!
Immediately, I saw a splendid ceremonial flower suddenly blooming. Then countless fireworks rose to the sky. Suddenly, the dark night sky was painted into a strange light.
"New Year's Gift Flowers......" Du Wei laughed: "Is it past midnight?"
Ossie looked up, trying to tilt her neck. I was stunned.
"Alright. Let's go back. It's cold here. If you catch a cold. I won't be able to go out tomorrow. Du Wei said. He asked Raosie to go back.
Ossie seems to have let go of her hostility towards Du Weidi. But two steps were taken. Suddenly, I heard a sneer. Ossie exclaimed. Crying and jumping up: "My skirt!"
I saw the rose sè ground evening dress. The skirt was hooked by the thorn flowers on the side of the road, and the hard thorns pulled the skirt out of a long opening. Osie looked extremely annoyed. is even more at a loss: "My skirt...... Oops. What can I do? ”
Du Wei smiled. Watch the girl tear her skirt. Her calves and knees were exposed. Du Wei smiled and took out a long cloak from his pocket for the ring.
Looking at Du Wei's wrist with a slight flick. A cloak was conjured out of thin air. Arcsie was a little surprised.
"Put it on. If the skirt is torn, it will be a little inconvenient. Du Wei laughed.
But Ossie still looked helpless: "But the skirt is broken." I ......"
"It's just a skirt. Du Wei pouted.
"It's not my dress. Ossie hesitated. He glanced at Du Wei a few times. Only then did he whisper: "I borrowed this skirt from my cousin...... This is my first time attending a court banquet.
:: Loved it. It took me a lot of tongues to borrow it. This breaks ......."
said. Only then did she utter her request: "Lord Duke......"
"Call me Du Wei. Or the elder brother. Du Wei smiled.
Ossie hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth: "Du Wei." Can you help me ......."
"Yes. I'll give you a new land. Du Wei smiled indifferently.
"Nope. I don't want you to give me a dress. Ossie shook her head. For the sake of "You...... Did you just use magic? Can you use magic? Change this skirt back to its original ......"
Du Wei smiled. The way he smiled annoyed Ossie. He lowered his head and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it......"
"Nope. Lovely Osie. My future brother-in-law, I need to correct your common sense. You remember: the cost of having a magician cast a spell. It's far more expensive than a dress!, you know?" Du Wei suddenly crouched down in front of Ossie and reached for the corner of Aussi's skirt.
"Ahh She jumped.
"Don't move. "Du Wei doesn't care about her. directly grabbed the corner of the other party's skirt, and then turned over to see the stitches inside. Then he found a small piece of ground cloth. A few lines of text are densely tattooed on it.
"Alright. Du Wei let go of his hand. Stood up: "This is an evening dress from the ground last year." Red sè. Medium, I just made a note of her style number. You can rest assured. I'll have someone send you an exact red dress early tomorrow morning. ”
"You're ......," Ossie froze. She couldn't help but look at the corners of her skirt as well. She didn't even know what the strange characters on the piece of cloth inside the corner of the skirt meant. But it seems that Du Wei knows: what is the face and style number?
Don't......
Seeing Ossie glaring at herself. Du Wei admitted it and said with a smile: "It's the ground, it's the ground." Clever little sister. You guessed it. This skirt is our family's real estate to make land. But your cousin obviously has very average taste...... This is just a last year's style. New year, new style. Looks like she hasn't yet. The piece of cloth on the ground. It's our tailor who specializes in sewing things when they produce them. This is our deut sè. ”
Ossie and Dewey returned to the banquet hall together. Mannie and the other girls immediately noticed Ossie and Dewey walking together. And Ossie still wears a cape.
"Oh my God. Osie. Where have you been?" Mannie strode over. There were a couple of other girls behind him - obviously. These people were coming for Du Wei.
Ossie opened her mouth. But he didn't say anything.
"Huh. Ladies. Du Wei smiled elegantly: "I just went to discuss a little family matter with my brother's fiancée. Oh. Included arrangements for the wedding of Ossie and my brother in the future. Some family affairs only. ”
Then he suddenly winked at Osie, "Osie." I'll send someone to pick you up...... Oh. That's right. Anyway, the box is very large. If these friends of yours are willing to go, talk to the earth. You can sit down. ”
Box??
Which box at the tournament venue?
Who doesn't know what those boxes on the third floor of the jousting conference mean! It is the most prominent and noble place in the empire! Du Wei Di box. But it is next to the royal box!
"Oh. Osie. Shall we go together?" Mannie was the first to plead.
The god Ossie is a bit complicated. glanced at Du Wei. Hesitate for a moment. Only then did he whisper, "Oh." OK. Of course ......"
The girls erupted in a scream. Then Du Wei winked at Ossie and smiled. Nod and leave.
"Oh my God! he's so charming!" Mannie and the other girls looked at Du Weidi's back, and then immediately someone turned to Osie and smiled, "Osie! he's your big brother!
But he was married. His wife is a magician!" Ossie was still a little unhappy with the they showed to Du Wei.
"Who cares!" a noble girl looked at Du Wei in the distance, "It's not bad to be a lover." He's the number one celebrity in the empire right now!"
Ossie also looked at Du Wei in the distance with a complicated look...... It's really nice to be surrounded by these girls. She had rarely enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by the stars and holding the moon, although it was all because of that Dewey.
But......
Indeed, he was a good man. A good brother.
"Have you finished resolving your family conflict?" watched Du Wei walk back. Sitting on the throne, the prince of Dichen pursed his lips: "You have been gone for half an hour. ”
"I value family harmony. Du Wei smiled. Then he picked up a wine glass. He gestured to Prince Chen from afar. The regent and the wine glass in response. The two took a sip of each other. Du Wei suddenly looked at Prince Chen. Smiled: "Your Highness." Even this family conflict in my place. You know? I can't think of it. There's something in this world that you don't know. ”
That is, Dewey. I dare to say such things in front of Prince Chen. Prince Chen didn't care: "You know the land." As a monarch. There's so much to control. There is a time for land. I had no choice. ”
"Then I wish my Highness good health. Du Wei smiled and drank the wine from his glass.
The two empires currently hold the most power over the young. Look at each other and smile.
The next day. The day after the New Year. The tournament finally continued, but in order to take care of the New Year's party the night before. The day-to-day competition was scheduled to start in the afternoon.
On this day, the second round of preliminaries was played.
The second round of preliminaries. Nearly 400 players. It is still through the lottery. This time, though, it's a group of four. The rules are the same as in the first round. Only one winner from each group can qualify.
Immediately after the draw ended, a helpless sigh erupted.
Three and Du Wei drew in a group of local samurai. showed a sad and helpless expression......
For Osie. It was almost a wonderful day! and she had lived all those years before. Not at all
It can be said that a new page has begun!
In the morning, the Tulip family sent someone to bring Miss Ossie a big gift.
It was an expensive wooden box, and inside was a fist-sized pearl of the South Seas - a treasure that cost at least fifty thousand gold coins on the market!
Of course, it was sent by Du Wei in the name of Gabbri.
With this gift comes the same. There was also a brand new red sè evening dress, the same one that Miss Ossie wore last night. In addition, there are a few new women's evening and winter clothes from the tulip workshop this year, and a very heroic leather women's hunting suit.
"My lord said that Miss Ossie might be invited to hunt with him in a few days. It occurred to Miss Ossie that she probably didn't have a new land hunting outfit, so she sent these. ”
This is the place that little Sandy personally delivered. He was very articulate.
Although the Chancellor of the Exchequer in order to avoid tongues. Life is simple. It's just something from the future in-laws. I took it.
And then Ossie immediately became the focal point of the family's little sisters - apparently, teenage girls. I enjoy it, it's human.
In the afternoon, the surprise became even bigger.
Dewey sent a carriage to pick up Miss Ossie and her friends to watch the game. And this carriage. It is the tulip duke's own car!
Dewey's carriage. In the aristocracy of dìdū, it is famous for its gorgeous luxury. Pull the wind to the fullest!
Every piece of wood is made of the best, and even the horses that pull the carts are the best horses from the grassland! Only generals and officers are qualified to be used as mounts. Available here in Dewey...... Just for pulling carts!
The wide carriage was more than twice as large as the ordinary aristocratic carriage. And the activation of the magic array under the wheels made the carriage move briskly and without any sense of bumps.
The extravagant furnishings in the carriage also stunned everyone.
This extravagantly Dewey. He actually used magic gems as lighting in the carriage!
And the velvet underneath the cushion...... Ossie remembered. My cousin has such a piece in his house. Used to make bed quilts. Moreover, it is easy not to take it out in the flat rì, and it will only be taken out and used in important places.
But here in Du Wei, it is used in the carriage. Spread on the ground and step on the ......
Several knights of the Tulip family rode their horses to guard the carriage.
Ossie was a little uneasy...... She felt that she should not accept too much kindness from Dewey.
But Sandy, the little butler, said to her, "My lord said it." You don't have to be polite, after all, you are the wife of the second young master, and it can be said that you are also the future mistress of the family. You are entitled to enjoy everything in the family. ”
Although I was still a little uneasy in my heart. But the other girls next to him shè came to look at them with envy. It still makes Ossie feel a little fluttery.
And when I got to the venue......
The Tulip family's horse-drawn carriage walked in front, and there were even soldiers from the police station along the road. A path was carved out of the crowd for them to enter. I went directly to the third floor through the VIP passage behind the Knight Guild.
And when walking through the Tulip Family box, a group of girls looked at the surrounding boxes in amazement......
Oh, my God!
It's right next door. Empire and land. The Lord Regent and the little prince Charles sit together in the box, and on the right is the private room of the Prime Minister's family. But the prime minister didn't come. It was Master Camiciro and his wife. And then there are the Villa families, illustrious families one by one...... These are the big men who really hold the power of the empire!!
When seen dìdū the famous tulip family is the head of business. Little Zach opened the door of the box with his own hands. When a few ladies came in with an elegant posture, a group of girls were a little cramped.
Because little Zach is not an aristocrat, though. But in fact. Everyone knows that he is the core figure of the top five in the tulip family! In dìdū, the status of little Zach is even much higher than that of many nobles! Many real big people. They are all polite when facing him.
But in this box, little Zach was on the side, gentle as a butler: "A few distinguished ladies, if you have any needs here, please be sure to tell me." ”
Enjoin?
How many people dare to "command" little Zack to do things?
As little Zack walked out of the door of the box, Mannie, who was beside him, suddenly shook Osie, who was already a little distracted, vigorously.
"Osie! Osie!" Mannie looked excited: "We are actually sitting here! Can you believe it? I am like a dream! Oh my God! Lord Duke is so kind to you!
"Yes, the Duke is so kind to his family...... Alas, Osie, it would have been better if you had continued to marry the Duke. ”
I don't know who suddenly said this.
Ossie's face changed suddenly......
Mannie noticed the change in her friend's spirit, and was about to persuade her, when she heard a commotion and cheers below.
"Look! The Duke is here!!"
Du Wei was the first to step into the ring with his head held high.
He's confident in today's game and ...... He hopes to wash away the shame of the farce-like preliminaries before today's game! Let everyone see his strength, instead of being treated as a joke!
After all, Du Wei still has a bit of a temper, and he has been practicing martial arts hard these days. At the moment, his mind is like that of a child who has been given a fun toy, and always wants to show it off to others. But the preliminaries a few days ago really made him vomit blood with anger!
Not today, though!
Because the opponents of this group of Du Wei today, his three opponents, Qingyi Sè, are all Holy Knights!!
The Holy Knight of the Temple will not fail to fight with him!
Today, let me show off my martial arts!!
Thunderous cheers!!
