Section 62 Birthdays

Sixty-second birthday

"He's out?"

"Now that he has money and leisure, he will naturally go out. Xingke said with some anger. She herself didn't know what Lu Dao was angry about.

It is indeed not an exaggeration to describe the current Ashrufat with money and leisure. Among other things, he won the horse race, so he received a total of 10,700 gold oli. Combined with what he had before, Starcarving estimated that Ashrufat had at least fifteen thousand gold coins on hand. This is already a huge amount of money for the squire and nobles.

And if that's not enough, he also has a famous horse that can be sold for 20,000 gold coins at any time. Xingke had no doubt that as long as Ashruphat revealed that he wanted to sell the horse, someone would come to the door to buy it.

These possessions belong entirely to Ashrufat's own. Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Xingke, because they are still "fiancés". The property of unmarried couples has always been separate from each other. It's the same as this manor, it belongs to the two sisters, so it has nothing to do with Ashrufat. However, Xingke himself didn't know what Lu Dao was for, and thinking about it made her unhappy.

"I guess I think I have money now, so I don't want to eat such a simple dish. "Thanks to me, I prepared this lamb for a purpose. Xingke took a bite of mutton hard, and thought of it with hatred in his heart.

Just yesterday, with the advice and assistance of Ashrufat, the two sisters finally settled the inheritance case of the manor. "Since the disputed person, Io, is dead, the case is dismissed. Such a result can be said to be the best result of this big trouble, not a penny was paid, he kept his real estate, and by the way, he completely eliminated a hidden danger. Because of this, Xingke specially asked people to prepare this hearty lunch, but he didn't expect that Ashrufar went out early in the morning and didn't eat at home at all.

"Anyway, Ashrufat is just an unreliable guy!" Xingke thought. When he first woke up with nothing, he obediently stayed at home and ate every day. Now as soon as he has money, he immediately chooses not to return all day.

"But...... Sister...... It's all thanks to him......"

"It's not him, it's luck!" replied Xingke. "Even if he hadn't won the championship, Io would have died by falling off a cliff. ”

"But after all, he won the championship for us...... Hoshimi replied. "Even if Io doesn't die, we ......"

"Say no more!" replied Starcut. "In short, he didn't have much credit for this matter. He won a reward of 10,000 gold coins, which is good, but no matter how good it is, it doesn't matter to us. ”

"But yesterday if he hadn't asked for it, we might have ...... Leaving a hidden danger ......"

"Io is dead. It doesn't make much difference whether the case is handled or not. It's better to dispose of it, but it's okay if you don't dispose of it. Anyway, that's the end of it. ”

This sentence became the last sentence of this dialogue. The two sisters absentmindedly finished their lunch. The original sumptuous and delicious lunch has now become tasteless, and Xingke himself can't really tell what it is.

It seems that unconsciously, the man who should have been insignificant and relied on the two sisters to live has become an indispensable existence in this family.

Not only the lunch, but in fact, the whole afternoon became boring. Originally, it was a good time to go into the city on such a good afternoon, but the two sisters completely lost this mind. Xingke looked at the storybook for a while, but found that he was holding the book and couldn't read it at all. So she had to give up and suggested that the two of them go for a nap. But in fact, this choice is not a good choice.

As soon as Xingke closed his eyes, he seemed to see Ashrufat spending time in the city, drinking and having fun. In the end, she could only choose to close her eyes and recuperate, trying to distract herself by thinking hard about magical research. In addition, because of the natural tacit understanding of the twins, she can also feel that the sister next to her is not sleeping well, or Hoshimi is not asleep at all.

In such a chaotic mood, they consumed this afternoon with warm sunshine and bright spring. After the last night, he was really tired of lying down, so Xingke chose to get up.

As she got up, Hoshimi got up almost at the same time. In fact, the two of them knew that the other party was not asleep, but they pretended to be sleeping well in the afternoon.

When Ashrufat returned, it was almost time to prepare dinner. The two sisters "woke up" and did not put on their makeup, but chatted about the study of magic in the room. So when Ashrufat knocked on the door outside, they were completely unprepared.

As mentioned earlier, the boudoir of the two sisters is located on the second floor. Ashrufat had never come in before, and had never even tried to get in. It was the first time he had knocked on the door.

"May I come in?" said Ashrufat. His voice was calm and polite, almost exactly the same as his usual attitude.

But to the ears of the two sisters, it was a complete surprise attack. They are now wearing pajamas, no hair, not to mention makeup, jewelry, etc. Of course, from an objective point of view, this is actually not a big deal, but at this time, the two sisters are panicked.

The door was not locked. In other words, Ashrufat could push the door in at any time.

"Wait a minute, we're not clothed!" Hoshimi panicked and casually uttered a lie.

"Fool! what are you talking about!" Xingke scolded his sister in a low voice. "Wait for us outside for a while. She shouted loudly outside.

Ashrufat, however, did not make any reckless moves. He waited quietly at the door, while the two sisters changed their clothes as quickly as they could. However, it was too late to wear makeup and jewelry, and fortunately they didn't really need it. The two sisters were actually very young, almost with the faces of fifteen years old, not even just their faces, but even their skin. And as we all know, girls at this age don't need to wear any makeup at all - their talent is more effective than any makeup.

After a short moment, Starmark opened the door. As mentioned earlier, this was the first time that Ashrufat had entered the two sisters' bedrooms, so he paused and looked at the whole bedroom a little when he entered.

It was a very ordinary room by aristocratic standards. There was a huge bed in the middle - it was undoubtedly the sister's bed. In addition to this bed, there are wardrobes, bookcases, bedside tables, dressing tables, writing desks, and other common furniture in the room. All the furniture is quite old, but it still looks palatial - a norm for aristocratic homes.

In addition to these pieces of furniture, the most striking thing is a painting hanging on the wall. The painting depicts a chubby man, a slender woman, and two little girls with very similar appearances, all of whom have a happy smile. It didn't take much more, just a glance, and Ashrufat could see that the two little girls in the portrait were the two sisters, and that the man and the woman—the parents of the two sisters could be inferred from their appearances.

"You...... What are you coming to us for? Seeing Ashruphat looking at the room, Xingke couldn't hold his breath and spoke first.

"I'm sorry. Ashruphat said with a smile. "Because I suddenly remembered something, like it's your birthday?

The two sisters looked at each other. During this time, they were under tremendous pressure, and it was not until the results of the horse races came out that they were relieved of this pressure. Besides, their birthdays don't deserve special celebration - the sisters have been trying to hide their age, so they do their best not to tell anyone about their birthdays. So for a long time, they never called their friends and neighbors for a birthday party on their birthdays.

"That's right. After a while, Starmark replied.

"I have a gift for you. Ashrufat said. "Birthday present. ”

"I'm not interested. Xingke replied without thinking.

"A very nice gift. Ashrufat added. "At least I think it's good. ”

Jewelry bought in the city. Xingke replied in his heart. This is what she had expected in the first place. Although Eshurufat has a lot of money, he is busy going into the city today to spend a lot of time. However, like most men, when his desires are satisfied, he must have remembered the problem of the two sisters. Because he was betrothed to two sisters anyway - as long as a man of wisdom would not ignore this.

So, Ashrufat bought some jewelry from the city. There is more than one shop in the jewellery business in the city of Brasía, and there are even a few skilled jewellers. It shouldn't be a problem to get some flattering jewelry.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Because Ashrufat had come in, the door of the two sisters' room was wide open, and their cook was standing outside. The cook was a rough and fat peasant woman in her forties, and she had three children. Although she has no professional training in cooking, everyone who has eaten at the two sisters' house thinks the food tastes good.

The cook calmly looked at the situation in the room: at this moment, the two sisters' beds were in a mess, and the cups and mattresses were mixed up. The two sisters were disheveled and had no hair tied, and a man was present in the room. Although Ashrufath's clothes are neat, men's clothes are inherently very different from women's clothes (women's dresses, especially those usually worn by aristocratic women, can easily look messy if they are not worn carefully, and men's clothes do not have this problem at all). It's easy to think of something about this scene alone – and in fact she clearly did. The corners of the cook's mouth showed the classic smile of the past, a look of disapproval. In her eyes, things were already clear at a glance, the two sisters' messy clothes, messy beds, and a fiancé, all of which added up to make it easy to guess what had just happened.

"Dinner is ready. The cook said. After saying this, she turned around and left, but left a sentence before leaving.

"I'm sorry, host, but I still have a small suggestion: next time be careful to close the door, it's daytime anyway. ”

Hoshi's face flushed, and Hoshimi almost tried to find a hole to get into.
