139. New Year's gifts
"Rand, isn't this dress of mine beautiful?" Nila happily showed off her gown in front of Rand.
Her dress was specially customized by Rand with other demon lovers, with a pink long skirt, double rows of inlaid luodian buttons, and gold silk embroidered lilies vividly embellished on the neckline and upper body, and the waist was well set off the girl's figure.
"Great, I'll just say Nila is beautiful, you can try a few others" Rand looked at Nila with great satisfaction, since he can remember, it has been this sister who has been taking care of him, and now he has become a lord, hoping to make her enjoy more.
Today is December 33, 996, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Rand, as a lord, held the last joint meeting of the territories in 996 this morning and announced that he would have a 7-day break starting tomorrow.
Two days ago, Rand received a notification from Mane Wolf City that the second brother's fleet had anchored at the Mane City Ferry, because the river near Roth's territory had been frozen, and the caravan was left with only boats to bring back the goods with pack beasts.
Fortunately, Rand has purchased a number of magic mirrors from the royal capital, and communication can already be carried out between the royal capital, Maned Wolf City and Roth's territory.
After making sure that the second brother could come back in time for the Chinese New Year, Rand gave his cronies a New Year's gift today: clothes he bought from the royal capital.
Of course, Rohr, Greyhound, Walker and others, Rand also gave some silver cutlery and red wine; Huck, Albert, Ryan, Pelly and other family members, Rand prepared some potions; For female demons-free such as Lanya, Nila, Makoto, and Nancy, Rand has prepared special dresses; For the children such as the little cardinal, the little knife handle, the autumn grass, etc., Rand prepared sweets and toys.
Rand also specifically requested that some monster meat be distributed to all demon supporters, and dozens of long-haired sheep were slaughtered to supply all the lords.
On the penultimate day of 996, everyone in the realm was very happy.
"My lord, Master Obote's caravan is back" A knight saw the horse team from the castle's lookout, and he should quickly find someone to report back to the main tent.
It just so happened that Rand was discussing the magic design of the cage with Wendy and a few others, and several girls had tried on clothes a few weeks ago, but now there was no novelty, so they simply listened to Rand's roadshow in the tent.
"I know, let's go and have a look" Rand finally waited for the caravan of the second brother and Mace,
"Come with me and see if there's anything you want as a gift."
"My lord, isn't this ship carrying wood and grain? How can we use it? Jonny asked, puzzled.
"You're not going to let us cut wood and make cages ourselves, are you?" Firefly was even more clever. The girls chattered and followed Rand out, out of the camp and saw the caravan gradually approaching, in order to let Obote come back as soon as possible, Rand specially sent a team of cavalry with 50 pack beasts to meet the caravan in the direction of Mane Wolf City, to ensure that each pack beast can travel faster.
"My lord, then we went over and picked" Firefly looked at the caravan and the nearly 100 people accompanying it, but when she looked closely, she saw a familiar shadow,
"Daddy?" At the front of the caravan, a group of demonless people were moving hard, they were relatives of several girls that Rand had specially asked Antreqi to find, these people were all demonless families distributed in various small and medium-sized nobles, distributed throughout the Dragon Kingdom.
In Blue Dragon School, the families of students have very clear information, as long as they follow the map, it is not difficult to find. It's not just Firefly, every girl sees their relatives, Wendy's mother, Lili's aunt and sister, Sophia's brother and sister-in-law, Joni's uncle, the girls run to the caravan, they haven't seen their relatives since they were sent to the Blue Dragon School, at least 5 years, at most 7 years, for them, the appearance of relatives has become a phantom of the lake.
"I've brought them all back to you, do you know how much effort it took me to get them on the boat halfway," Obot ran over to ask for credit.
"Second brother has worked hard, let's go, let's go home" For Rand, the former relatives have also become phantoms, and all he can do now is to cherish these relatives in front of him.
"Wendy!" Even after 5 years of separation, Wendy's mother Alina recognized her daughter at first sight and quickly ran over and hugged her.
"Mom!" Wendy, who was already in her mother's arms, couldn't believe that all this was true, she only felt dizzy in her head, and the moments of her childhood hit her brain like a blowout.
"My daughter, let me take a good look, you have grown taller" Alina looked at her daughter carefully, her eyes were full of tears,
"How are you doing all these years?"
"I, I'm fine now" Wendy didn't want to remember the time when school and the Grey Goose tribe were her best times.
Not only Wendy, but also Lili, Jonny, Firefly, Sophia, every girl is feeling the beauty of family affection.
Even Wendy, who dared to speak, never dared to ask Rand to take her family over, and the girls privately discussed the profits from processing alchemy products, and hired Dugan, who stayed in the royal capital, to help find their relatives.
But he didn't dare to think that Rand would be able to bring his family back when he first came to the royal capital. Of course, the girls don't know that the price of taking their families back is that Rand is forced to go on a blind date.
In the distant castle, Albert and Ben Kaul are watching the returning caravan and the girls enjoying the reunion from the castle window.
Ben also received a special gift from Rand, a crystal cup with a lid, a vertical cup with a hardwood lid, and a special filter layer under the lid, which can put the tea leaves in the filter layer to avoid affecting the taste when drinking water.
There are also 2-3 magic patterns on the cup, which Rand said is called
"Thermos cup", said to be very in line with Ben's taste. Ben naturally didn't know that this was Rand mocking him like an old cadre, of course, Ben had never seen such a delicate water cup, and he liked this thermos cup very much.
"I'll just say that Rand's methods are even more clever than you think, and if you knew how to give gifts to Julian back then, you probably wouldn't be so lonely now." Ben Kaul teased Albert happily.
"Back then, I was dedicated to studying, hoping to use every copper coin for my studies, how could I afford such an expensive gift." In addition to receiving a bottle of potions, Albert also received a book of family history, which Rand had seen in Dragon's Tooth City.
"Look at what you said, Julian is the daughter of the Marquis, and a very potential mage apprentice, if you can really catch up, your family will not be so rich now" Ben Kaul took advantage of the victory to pursue, watching Albert eat deflated was his source of pleasure.
"This rand, when he went to Dragon's Tooth City, he really didn't study hard, and he spent his mind on these balls and gifts." Albert kept complaining about Rand in his mouth, not wanting to take the mage's words, but he kept stroking the newly acquired family history book in his hand.
Ben didn't speak, he had already heard Rand say that he had fainted from reading a book, and he was too embarrassed to tell Albert.
