Chapter 180: Ability is the key to determining the outcome

Blanche was wearing a dress, dressed differently than usual, looking more stable and mature.

There is a lot less of a gloomy girl's breath.

But the melancholy between his eyebrows still lingers.

There was a shallow smile on her beautiful face, and it was impossible to tell whether her words were praise or depreciation.

John walked beside her with a look of distraction.

The two of them came.

In front of so many people, Xu Siling has to give face to Blanche no matter what.

If it was private, he would have gone back to the past.

"In terms of charm, how can I compare to Princess Blanche, you are a beautiful and intelligent existence in the kingdom."

Blanche raised her eyebrows slightly, she had always disliked the title.

Madame Bonnet did not feel the slightest hint of the irony in their words, and she smiled and clapped her hands.

"Princess Blanche arrived just in time, let's move our position first and talk in a different place."

As the true master of the family, John, he has never had much say in the family except for external affairs.

He loved Madame de Beaunet dearly, and never asked about the affairs of the family.

Except for his son, who is not very obedient and does not like to be taught chivalry, everything else is excellent.

A group of people moved to the living room, the space is not small, the decoration is gorgeous, and it can be seen that Madame Bonnet has put a lot of effort into the decoration of the mansion.

In terms of identity, Xu Siling can't sit down.

The people in the living room, according to their status, are all nobler than him.

Not to mention that Fei'er is also there, the two of them are not separated from each other in private, but outside, they must give Fei'er face.

Phil sat down on the single sofa.

Xu Siling stood behind her as a matter of course.

Seeing this, Madame Bonnet couldn't help but say, "Mr. Siling, sit down, there is no need to be so formal today, especially since my husband and I have invited you here today, there is a request." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Seeing that Xu Siling was unwilling to sit down, Bonet had no choice but to give up.

Fei'er wanted Xu Siling to sit down, but she was not stupid, she knew that the reason why Xu Siling was standing was to build momentum for her.

No matter how good he is Xu Siling, John and Bonet, no matter how optimistic you are about Xu Siling, if you want to have a good relationship with him, you must know one thing clearly.

He was subservient to Phil.

Fei'er likes Xu Siling's feeling of thinking about her in everything, and the smile in the corners of her eyes can't be hidden.

It's just that Blanche, who was sitting across from Phil, showed envy on her gloomy face that was not noticed by others.

The entire parlor was there except for Charlie, including John's other sons.

John's children gathered together, all staring at Xu Siling with wide eyes.

Xu Siling's performance in the knight competition, these children can witness it with their own eyes.

It can be said that Xu Siling gave these children a little bit of force shock in their hearts.

John was straight, and he coughed and said directly.

"Everyone has arrived, and neither of us is an outsider, so I will say everything I want to say."

Before John could finish his sentence, he was pinched back by Bonnet's small hand.

"Husband, everyone just sat down, what are you anxious about?"

"My madam, how can there be outsiders here, what are you polite, Xu and I are good friends, and Charlie is the nephew of Princess Blanche."

"That's not what you did."

John immediately spread his hands: "Okay, my noble lady, you come." ”

Watching the conversation between the couple, Xu Siling couldn't help but laugh.

He subconsciously looked at Blanche and saw that Blanche was also covering his mouth and smiling.

"I'm very sorry. However, my husband is right, none of them are outsiders, and we both know what I am inviting you to the mansion for, and I have no intention of finding out so quickly, and I am still thinking about discussing this matter slowly during the luncheon. ”

Blanche didn't care: "Madame Bonnet is so polite, we don't need to say much." ”

Fei'er spoke on behalf of Xu Siling: "When I learned about this, I felt honored for my knight. ”

"In that case, I won't hide it."

John muttered, "In the end, I still say it directly." ”

Mrs. Bonnet glared at John and commanded, "You have nothing to do, just go and see if Charlie is ready." ”

John reluctantly got up, and glanced at Xu Siling before leaving, and the two made friendly eye contact.

"I'm so sorry."

After John left, Madame Bonnet felt a little rude.

After some politeness, she spoke directly.

"I would like to ask Princess Blanche, and Miss Raya's knight, Mr. Silling, two of whom can be the teacher of my son Charlie."

"I hope that Mr. Sharp can teach Charlie some of his knightly skills, that he will have a protective skill, and that it would be great if he could teach him to be a knight as good as you. But I know that my son Charlie, although he is clever and intelligent, is far less gifted than Mr. Silling, and I only hope that when he makes mistakes by your side, you will not blame him too much for not suffering too much when he has been with me since he was a child. ”

"As for Princess Blanche, with our relationship, I have something to say. Your attainment of culture and art is well-known in the royal family, and other nobles do not know, but I know it. ”

"I hope you can take Charlie with you more during this time, let him understand the influence of culture and art, improve his character, and make him a real gentleman man."

To put it simply, Xu Siling is responsible for Charlie's military aspects, and Blanche is responsible for Charlie's ideology, morality, culture and art.

Xu Siling has no opinion, he has some innate and unique views on art, but it is certainly not as deep as Blanche.

It's just that he thought of a question and couldn't help but interrupt to ask.

"Madame Bonet, Miss Raya and I may not be in Paris for long"

"I know." Madame Bonnet smiled and said, "So Miss Raya and Mr. Silling, after the business in Paris is settled, Charlie will follow you back to Raya." ”

Xu Siling raised her eyebrows, which means Charlie's ass, he can beat it for years?

"I hope Miss Raya will not be disgusted and take my son back to Raya, he may come to Raya and will cause you a lot of trouble."

Fei'er smiled and shook her head: "Charlie is a very well-behaved child, he will definitely listen to Xu's words, how can he cause trouble." I just don't know, Madame, how long do you want Charlie to study by Xu's side. ”

"My husband and I discussed that as long as nothing major happened, Charlie would stay with Mr. Sharp until he felt that Charlie was good enough to take charge of himself."

Madame Bonnet said this, her expression slightly reluctant.

Xu Siling wondered: "What about Princess Blanche?" ”

"That's what I'm going to talk about later." Madame Bonnet continued, "Miss Raya and Monsieur Silling will not stay in Paris for too long, so during this time, we will have to trouble Princess Blanche, and come to the mansion to teach Charlie when I have time, or arrange for someone to call Charlie to the palace, whether the former or the latter." ”

Blanche pondered and replied, "I'll have to talk to Charlie before I can decide on a course." ”

"Of course."

Xu Siling smiled and said, "That means, there is nothing to do with me during this time." ”

"If Mr. Siling is free, he can also come to the mansion to guide and supervise, but the time is limited every day, and he still has to worry about Princess Blanche's classes."

Xu Siling waved his hand: "I don't mean anything else." ”

Just kidding, this kind of thing is done by the teachers of major cultural classes.

He is a sports teacher, and it is normal for him to be robbed.

"If Princess Blanche and Mr. Silling have no objections, then we will settle the matter as such."

"I have an objection!"

Madame Bonnet had just finished speaking.

Eight-year-old Louis I, the second son of John's family, sat on a bench and raised his hand, his immature face full of unhappiness.

"Mother, I want to be like my brother! I also want to learn from the Perfect Knight! ”

The other two sons raised their hands in unison.

"Mother, I want it too!"

"You can't be so partial, Charlie has it, and we have it too!"

"What's the matter with you!"

Madame Bonnet's expression was blank, and the little children on the bench suddenly lost their voices, and they all shrank their heads.

Louis I looked left and right, and decided to bite the bullet: "I want to learn too." ”

"All the wings are stiff, aren't they?" Madame Bonnet's eyes were sharp, "Like your father, get out!" ”

"Oh."

Louis I seemed to have a premonition that this was the end, and he pouted and got up and turned away directly.

The third son, Jean, and the fourth son, Philip II, looked at each other and got up to leave.

"Since the second brother is gone, let's go out too."

For the first time, Madame Bonnet's position of authority in the family was provoked, and she could not help but be angry.

Fortunately, Blanche hurriedly persuaded and comforted.

"Don't be angry, Madame Bonnet, this is understandable, you must know that the Soul Knight is the best knight in the kingdom, how can there be an ambitious boy who doesn't want to learn from the Spirit Knight."

Phil echoed: "Think about it, at the door of the Count of Bourva's house, there are so many people who are surrounded every day, aren't they all coming for Xu, the big man is like this, not to mention these children, do you say yes, Madame Bonnet." ”

All men are coming for him.

Xu Siling suddenly felt full of big men, very awkward.

Mrs. Bonnet has a different opinion from the two, she is a mother, and she knows that these children not only want to learn from Xu Siling, but also have jealousy in their hearts.

But there are steps down, and naturally roll down.

"Got a few laughs."

As for the two little girls on the bench.

Of course, they wouldn't leave stupidly like their brothers, their eyes were wide open, and their eyes were shining and staring at Xu Siling.

Xu Siling thought of something and proposed.

"If it's okay these days, I can also come to the mansion and teach Madame's children."

Madame Bonet exclaimed, "Is this okay?" ”

"Of course you can, it's not a big deal, just teach for a few days. Madame will tell you the truth, I was also a child, and it is normal for them to be a little childish. ”

Madame Bonnet shook her head to herself: "If only that were the case."

Then she hurriedly came back to her senses and said gratefully: "Then trouble Mr. Siling, you can come and go in and out of the mansion as you like these days, if these children know that you are going to teach them, they will be happy!" ”

"I can't guarantee what I'll teach them in a few days."

Blanche suddenly interjected, and his tone was strange: "The ability of the knight of Esling, a few days, is enough to make a lot of changes in the children, I hope you will come often these days, don't let the children look forward in vain and break their hearts." ”

Blanche: Push you on, spur you on, make sure you come to John's house every day, hehe, I'm so witty.

Xu Siling: Fuck, this damn woman is digging a hole for me again!

Phil's azure eyes narrowed slightly, carefully observing the emotion in Blanche's expression.

Just as the parlor was having a pleasant conversation, there was a knock on the door and it opened.

Charlie was dressed in a solemn aristocratic attire and entered with two gifts in his hands.

John and his other sons, unified time rolled in.

Usually the process of apprenticeship for the nobility in the Middle Ages is very simple and not as complicated as in the East, but there will still be some that should be.

The first step is to make an apprenticeship request, and the person being apprenticed will carefully consider and evaluate the other person's request, including examining the student's personal qualities and motivations.

If the person being apprenticed approves and accepts the request, the next step will be moved.

The next step is to confirm the study arrangement, and once the apprenticeship request is accepted, the nobleman and the apprentice will discuss the specific arrangements for the study, including the time, place, and content.

These things have been discussed and completed by the previous few people.

Finally, as a sign of respect and gratitude, students will give a gift of apprenticeship to the teacher at the time of the request letter or interview.

Now Charlie, offering an apprenticeship, by the way, shows his respect and obedience.

He came to Princess Blanche and knelt down on one knee and sealed the gift he had prepared in advance.

"Aunt Blanche, you will be my teacher in the future, and I will study and listen to lectures carefully."

It was the first time Blanche had been a teacher, and I thought it was fun and enjoyable.

Aside from Philip VI's arrangement, she had always liked this clever little nephew.

Smiled and accepted the gift, patted him on the head, and motioned for him to get up.

"Charlie, you have to become a real man, like your father, learn to protect the weak and save the fate of others."

Charlie did not hesitate: "Yes, teacher!" ”

Then Charlie came to Xu Siling, also knelt down on one knee, and offered his gift.

"Mr. Siling, you will also be my teacher in the future, and I will definitely follow you in the future and will not disappoint your expectations!"

It can be said that Charlie can't find fault with his performance.

He showed a positive attitude towards teaching and guidance, showing willingness and humility in learning.

Anyone who looks at it can't help but like this boy.

Including Xu Siling.

Xu Siling coughed lightly and took the gift.

Then he took the one-handed sword he bought yesterday from his waist and put it on Charlie's hands.

Charlie was stunned, but he didn't expect him to receive a gift.

In the history of the Middle Ages, there was no gift from a teacher to a student.

"For you, Charlie."

Charlie was very happy, he couldn't tell the quality of the one-handed sword, but he believed that it wouldn't be any worse.

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Like Princess Blanche, I'll give you the same admonition."

"Teacher, you say."

"Saving the fate of others and protecting the weak is not a burden on your shoulders, don't take it too seriously."

Originally, the living room was very harmonious, but Xu Siling's words suddenly quieted the living room.

Even the clever Charlie was said to be pumped by Xu Siling.

Yes?

Teacher, what are you talking about.

What you said and what Mr. Blanche said, there is a deep conflict.

Of course, Xu Siling would not let go of the opportunity to counterattack Blanche, he glanced at Blanche with a stunned expression, expecting her reaction.

"What are you talking about, Knight Spirit? How can you mislead Charlie, he will also be a knight in the future, he must be like his father, with the spirit of chivalry, to protect the weak and save others, which is an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Blanche's beautiful face met Xu Siling's gaze, and he was not convinced.

"I didn't say Charlie couldn't be like his father, just"

"Just what."

"Princess Blanche, I'm curious to ask you."

"What's the matter, Spirit Knight."

"If we see someone drowning, we all know that it is right to be brave, and it is worth singing about jumping into the water to save people, but what if we don't know how to swim at all?"

Blanche felt like she was stepping into a pit

Especially from Xu Siling's eyes, she was even more convinced.

But she couldn't retreat, and pursed her lips charmingly.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, being right doesn't guarantee whether the outcome will be perfect or tragic. Truth can affect the occurrence of a thing, and human ability is the key to the result. ”

Xu Siling patted Charlie's head: "So Charlie, if you want to be like your father, protect the weak and save the fate of others, the first thing to do is to abandon these thoughts and work hard to improve yourself. ”

At this time, Xu Siling didn't notice that Blanche's face was slowly turning white like that day in the bookstore.

Truth can affect the occurrence of a thing, and human ability is the key to the result.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence at all.

But

Blanche felt like she was teaching her a lesson.

Because she is the one who can only speak reason, but has no ability.

She knows all kinds of things from books and art.

But because he has no ability, he can't control his own results.

In other words, this sentence is also indirect proof that she Blanche is a useless person.

That's right, it's her who is wrong.

Blanche, who was extremely emotional, was once again shattered by Xu Siling's words. (End of chapter)
