Sixty-third gifts

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was magical.

The three of them were eating at the table, and if there was a sharp-eyed person present, he would definitely be able to see that all three people at the table were absent-minded, and they didn't even know what they were eating. Ashrufat barely ate, explaining that he wasn't hungry. And more than once Xingke used a spoon to scoop in the already empty plate.

"Don't you really want to see my birthday present for you?" asked Ashrufat again.

"Not interested. Xingke replied. She was annoyed, though she couldn't quite understand what she was annoyed about. The content of dinner is actually a continuation of Chinese food – in fact, it is leftovers from Chinese food. As mentioned earlier, at noon today, Xingke specially arranged a roasted lamb, roasted birds, and a few special fruits. In fact, she also prepared wine. However, the worst result was that Ashrufat did not return for lunch at all. As a result, the dishes at dinner will not be as outstanding. As all people who are good at cooking know, a good dish made from fresh food and leftovers are two completely different concepts. The former, even very ordinary food, will taste delicious because it is fresh, while the latter, no matter how good the ingredients are, will look ordinary. The roasted lamb is particularly tempting at noon, but in the evening, there is actually nothing to whet your appetite.

"Sister......" Hoshimi quietly tugged at his sister's sleeve under the table.

"If you want to go, go for it. Xingke said impatiently. In fact, although she said that "Io's death was completely lucky", she herself knew that the previous inheritance dispute case of Lu Dao was all thanks to Ashrufat. Io's death was just an add-on. Because Ashrufat had already won the horse race, the case of the inheritance dispute had been settled regardless of whether Io died or not.

Gift or something...... It's nothing more than a candlelit dinner or a few pieces of jewelry. Xingke thought. The two sisters had a good relationship with Ace, so they had long learned through Ace about all the tricks that the playboy used to seduce women (who was an expert at spreading rumors), and what Ashrufat was using now was clearly just one of them.

This answer counts as the last compromise option. Xingke repeatedly said that he was not interested, and Ashrufat couldn't force it.

Thus, after dinner, Ashrufat and Starke left the manor in a carriage together. Ashruphat whispered a few orders to the coachman before he got into the carriage and sat face to face with Hoshimi.

"What exactly are you giving as a gift?" there were only two people in the carriage, so Hoshimi quickly broke the silence and asked first.

"Soon you'll find out. Ashrufat said. He looked out the window, where it was dusk and the sun had not yet set, illuminating the scenery outside the window. Spring has imperceptibly replaced winter, and the grass and trees spit out green shoots, so that you can see a new green color outside the window. Eshurufat must have asked the driver to hurry quickly, so Hoshimi could clearly feel that the speed of the car was fast, and he was almost running at full strength.

"Why don't you say it, my sister just hates your mysterious attitude. ”

"Huh. Ashruphat chuckled, but didn't answer Hoshimi's question. "She actually hates me. ”

"She's just ......"

"I know. Ashruphat looked out the window. "I don't blame her, it's all my fault. "My fault in the past," he whispered to himself.

"Aren't you going to have prepared a candlelit dinner for me in the city?" Hoshimi said confusedly. It's dusk, but if it's time in the city of Brasian, it's almost dark. "First of all, I've already had dinner, and I'm not interested in jewelry or anything...... If that's the stuff......"

"It's not those things, and we're not going to the city. Ashrufat replied, this time with a gentle smile. "I have a good gift. You're going to love it. So is your sister. ”

Hoshimi looked at Ashrufat's face and suddenly felt a heat on his face. She felt her gaze lower, pretending to be looking at the floor of the carriage. "Sister, she...... A hearty lunch has been prepared for you......" She suddenly realized that she was now alone in the carriage with Ashrufat, the two of them alone in a very small space (as we all know, the carriage of the two-wheeled carriage is not very large). Knowing this, she felt her heart beat involuntarily.

"I'm sorry I wasted some time preparing gifts. Ashrufat said. Hoshimi tried to avoid him, but he approached on his own initiative. Ashruphat took Hoshimi's hand in his own.

"Why are you avoiding me?" he asked.

"I ...... I didn't ......" Hoshimi blushed.

"Are you uncomfortable with me?" asked Ashrufat softly. He leaned forward and approached his fiancée in front of him.

"Don't do that!" Hoshimi instinctively wanted to say this, but found that he couldn't say anything, only that his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat. All she could do was lean back, trying her best to distance the two of them. But her hand was tightly grasped by Ashrufat, and the carriage was so big, where could she avoid it?

The carriage came to a halt, and the coachman's shouts reached the carriage. "Here we are. ”

Ashruphat let go of Hoshimi's hand. As she calmed herself, Ashruphat got out of the car first, and then, as a gentleman would do, picked up Hoshimi at the door.

"This is ......" Hoshimi was surprised. She already recognized where it was. This is the castle of the Knight of Dale, and it is also the residence of the two sisters who were once extremely envious. It is a beautiful and beautiful castle, and although it is a habitable place to live, not a military fortress, it still has a tall façade built on the outside, as required by the castle. At this moment, the carriage was parked outside the castle gates.

It was no secret that the Knights of Dale wanted to sell the castle and the land attached to it. This is because he has found a good position in the field for himself, and he is determined to develop outside, so he wants to sell the property and get a large sum of money. However, the deal did not go well, as there was a tradition that the Dale knights were only willing to sell their estates to the local squire and nobles, rather than to merchants. Unfortunately, most of the squires and nobles did not have the financial resources to come up with more than 10,000 gold coins at a time, and those who had such financial resources did not lack real estate. So recently there have been rumors that this Dale knight is planning to sell the castle and land separately.

Ashrufat beckoned to the top of the castle, and the gate opened. Ashruphat held out a hand to Hoshimi, who immediately grabbed his arm and walked inside. The carriage followed them and slowly drove into the castle.

"What are you doing here?" Hoshimi asked. It's not the first time she's been to the castle – that's why she loves it so much. The current home of the two sisters, the manor where they currently live, is a good place to live, but there is no place to compare with this castle.

"What for?" Ashruphat smiled suddenly, and he let go of his hand and became face-to-face with Hoshimi.

"What's wrong?" Hoshimi couldn't figure out what Ashrufat was trying to do.

"Start today. Ashrufat held up one of Hoshimi's hands and kissed it gently. "You're the hostess here. ”

"I ...... What the...... The hostess ...... "Because I was so nervous and surprised, Hoshimi stammered a little when he spoke.

"I have bought this castle from the Knight of Dale today. Ashrufat said. "And, of course, the attached land. The only condition was that he demanded that we must keep the rent of the past. ”

"You're not ...... Scamming ...... Scamming ...... Lie to me. You went out early this morning just to ...... For this?"

"Am I so untrustworthy? Ashrufat smiled. "That's right, that's what it's for. He suddenly leaned close to Hoshimi's ear and whispered in her ear in a very affectionate gesture. "It's really fitting for us to live after we get married. ”

Hoshimi blushed in shame, and just as she wanted to protest, Ashruphat grabbed her hand.

"Let's take a good look at this new home. ”

The sun was gone, but the sky was still bright. Standing on a high platform at the top of the castle, touching the railing, and watching the sunset across the sky, it is really a pleasing feeling for the eyes.

She had been to the castle several times, but it was nothing like it was in the past. In the past, she could only look up and down the castle with envious eyes from the perspective of a guest. That feeling is gone.

The castle at her feet is now hers. Whenever he thought of this, Hoshimi felt as if he was a little dizzy, that he was carried away by happiness.

Knight Dale has actually moved out of the castle for quite some time. When he was ready to sell the castle, he moved out of the house and left all the furniture, decorations, bedding and other things behind. In order to keep the castle clean and safe, he left a janitor here and had the castle cleaned at regular times. Perhaps his motivation was to make the castle sell better, but anyway, because Eshurufat and the two sisters could live in it directly, without any additional decoration or anything. In addition, the castle has an underground vault and an underground wine cellar, the latter of which also holds a considerable amount of wine - although Eshuruphat paid extra for this.

"How's this gift?" said Ashrufat, who walked up the platform from behind. This high platform is located in the highest tower of the castle and has the best view of the entire castle. In fact, there is no need for such a livable castle, but it is also a way to improve the quality of the castle.

"It's really amazing. Hoshimi replied.

"Let's go to the other side. Ashrufat left the platform with his fiancée and walked along an air bridge to another part of the castle. This is where the owner of the castle lives.

"Here's the kitchen and there's the bath. Ashrufat gestured toward a room. In the two sisters' estates, the master and servant used the same kitchen, the same dining room (just staggered times), and even the same bathroom. And this castle is obviously much more sophisticated. The owner almost all of them have a small stove, and everything is used alone.
