Chapter 17 Marry me

(Thanks to the Pansy yr children's shoes for another reward, thank you!)

When Bond heard Lin Feng's answer, he was stunned, as if he didn't believe his ears.

After a long time, he seemed to have recovered from his senses and swallowed a mouthful vigorously, unable to believe: "Master... do you mean that the maids should also be recruited? And they have a monthly salary?"

In fact, it’s not Bond’s fault for being surprised, because everyone knows that women have no status at all. They are born a tragedy, and if they want to survive, they can only rely on men.

Many civilian families have girls, but they will kill them when they see their ugly appearance. They will raise their daughters first. When they raise their daughters, they hope that a noble man can fall in love with their daughters and that their family can live a good life.

But there are only a lot of nobles in the entire empire. Even if each noble married five or six women, he could not share so many women. Moreover, nobles generally marry other nobles to show friendly exchanges. Moreover, noble girls are elegant by nature and have been professionally trained. In terms of appearance, they are much more outstanding than ordinary girls. The nobles have no reason to marry ordinary girls.

Even if there is, it is a very rare one.

In this situation where there are very few cases, the daughter of a civilian family was either sold to a nobleman as a maid or entered the martial arts academy to become a warrior.

As Lin Feng said, the recruitment and monthly salary have never existed since ancient times!

As long as a girl becomes a noble maid, it is enough for the noble to pay the girl's family a sum of money at one time. The girl has to serve the nobles for free. Some of them are quite beautiful and are attracted by the noble master or the young master. Although their status cannot be improved, the quality of life has a small part of freedom. Nena was the example of this at the beginning.

Even some lucky people who are favored can get a title.

Most maids who were not favored by nobles or young masters, after spending the most beautiful youth in their lives, they were dismissed by the nobles once they reached a limited age. However, after being dismissed, not only did they not restore their true freedom, but they were unable to return to their original home because they had served the nobles. In the end, they could only marry an ordinary civilian and continue to repeat their life of having children.

However, by that time, they were old and despicable, and even ordinary civilians could not be attracted.

Among them, some of the most miserable maids were forced to sell themselves in a tavern or face death after being dismissed by the nobles.

From the day they entered the noble mansion and until they were dismissed, they did not receive any labor rewards.

Therefore, when Bond heard Lin Feng's words, he looked extremely surprised.

Lin Feng naturally understood this. Seeing Bond's surprised expression on his face, he took a breath: "I don't care about other nobles' rules. Any maid who enters my Duke's Mansion will be treated like this. Moreover, after ten years of service, you can apply to leave the Duke's Mansion at any time. Of course, you can choose to get married at any time, but it is limited to the servants in our mansion."

"...Master, do you mean that the maid can choose to marry us servants within ten years?"

This time, although Bond's voice was also surprised, there were more surprises. In this sentence, he also emphasized the word "we".

Those servants like them cannot marry and have children at will, at least... during their tenure, and family housekeepers like him have no chance to marry and have children because they are in charge of the property and financial position of the noble family. Generally, housekeepers of noble families never marry and have children in their entire lives.

Therefore, Bond was so happy about Lin Feng's decision.

Lin Feng knew what he was thinking, narrowed his eyes and said ruthlessly: "Yes, you can of course marry and have children, but the wives and children of other servants will support them by themselves, and your wife and children will have a family to support them."

The family he refers to is naturally the one who pays for the support of his family. On the surface, Lin Feng suffered a loss, but the butler's position is too sensitive. If he was allowed to support himself, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not have any selfish intentions. However, supporting the family means that Bond will be a member of the father's family from then on, and eat the food of the father's family.

Although it seems that there is no income, its status has risen!!

This is simply what Bond dreams of!!!

At this moment, he was so excited that he couldn't speak!

When Lin Feng saw Bond's expression, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk too much. These are just my initial ideas and will be gradually improved in the future. However, you don't have to worry about it, the general framework will not be changed. Don't think about it here now, go and recruit people for me!"

"Yes! Yes! Master!" Bond's face was filled with joy when he reacted. He felt that all the blessings he had cultivated for several lifetimes had appeared at this moment. He responded excitedly and quickly took the remaining four servants away.

The four servants and some maids who were closer to each other obviously heard Lin Feng's words. Although they did not dare to speak casually, their faces were filled with joy.

Lin Feng even noticed that the maid who was closest to him who was trimming weeds was already rosy on her cheeks, and maybe she was thinking about getting married...

Seeing the maid's expression in his eyes, Lin Feng did not tell it, but a faint smile finally appeared on his face.

That faint smile was exactly what he had expected for many years that had come true, and the pressure in his heart suddenly felt a lot less.

When Lin Feng thought of his mother, a deep warmth appeared in his eyes.

After everything is settled, I should take my mother over and enjoy it...

Thinking of this, a warm feeling suddenly surged in Lin Feng's heart.

However, at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door.

As the knock on the door fell, before Lin Feng could open the door, the door of the mansion was opened by itself!!

Seeing the door being pushed open, Lin Feng frowned. Not to mention his top duke status, even if the door of any family is pushed open so easily, it means disrespect for the master!!

So, when I saw this scene, the original warmth in Lin Feng's heart disappeared, and replaced by anger!

Although my family has not been established yet, the act of openly provoking my authority is simply a matter of life!!

He wants to see who dares to be so bold!

At this moment, even the maids who heard the knock on the door became strange.

At this moment, Lin Feng's entire face had even turned ashen!

However, before the door was opened, a voice came in first, and as soon as he heard this voice, Lin Feng's anger just now disappeared!

"Lin Feng--" Not only did this man not call him the Lord, but he also called Lin Feng's name, without any respect at all.

However, with the sound of this sound, Annie suddenly appeared in front of the door! If others rushed like this, even if the person Lin Feng was familiar with didn't say anything on the surface, a hint of disgust would definitely arise in his heart, but Annie was an exception!

When Lin Feng saw Annie's figure, how could there be a little bit of anger in his heart?

At this moment, Anne was standing in front of the mansion door, and the carriage that came to her behind her was slowly leaving. She casually wore a light warrior suit and did not wear that complicated aristocratic dress because of her different status today. However, her face was obviously carefully dressed up, and her already beautiful face looked even more amazing.

Especially her smile made her charm fully show, and the bright redness on her cheeks was caused by the excitement of Lin Feng suddenly seeing him in the past few days or other reasons.

Especially today's image of a female warrior dressed in a unique heroic spirit!

Seeing this beautiful woman dressed in a warrior appearing at the door of the mansion, the maids who had a strange expression on their faces couldn't help but feel ashamed, but the stunning slightest floating in front of them could not be concealed.

At this moment, they couldn't help but wonder, who is this beautiful woman? There is such a nearly perfect woman in this world!!

When Lin Feng saw Annie, he immediately smiled and deliberately joked: "It turns out it's Duke Annie, it's really a shame to welcome you!"

As he said that, he walked forward with Luo Qing in his arms.

When he mentioned Annie's identity, all the maids suddenly realized that now, even if anyone outside knew Annie, the lifelong honorary duke, they also knew that Annie was Lin Feng's lover, let alone these palace women who were originally in the palace.

But these maids had never seen Anne's appearance before, and they had always had a strong curiosity about this woman who was rated as the most beautiful on the mainland. How beautiful is she with kindness? And today's meeting, it immediately fully satisfied their curiosity!!

However, at the same time, a deep doubt arose in their hearts again, that is... How did Duke Snow Demon Wolf meet Duke Anne? They heard that Anne was an extremely ugly woman before...

No matter how these maids guessed, Lin Feng couldn't think so much in his heart. Because there was a deep sense of inferiority hidden in his heart for the past five years, although his development was not blocked from Anne, it did not heat up too quickly.

Now, no matter how he came from, he had at least erased the interval that had always existed in his heart. The time has disappeared these few days, which made him miss Anne more and more. At this time, when he saw Anne taking the initiative to "delive it to his door", his heart was already hot.

However, when Annie heard Lin Feng's teasing, her eyes were crescent-shaped. She smiled and threw herself into Lin Feng's arms regardless of the others, which scared Luo Qing, who was already in Lin Feng's arms, and also surprised the maids who glanced at him from time to time.

He looked like a virgin, but now he threw himself into his arms regardless of the duke's identity... Why didn't this duke feel a little bit of the duke's consciousness?

But Annie didn't care about so much. After hugging Lin Feng hard, she fell in Lin Feng's ear and whispered excitedly: "Hey, my father knows that you have difficulties. This time I asked me to bring you a million gold coins. My father also said, after you choose the fiefdom, I will support you two thousand elite soldiers. My father also said..."

Speaking of this, Annie suddenly seemed a little hesitant, and the bright redness on her cheeks became even more intense.

When Lin Feng heard Annie's words, his eyes lit up. Not only did he ignore the millions of gold coins, these two thousand elite soldiers alone solved his own big problems!

It is true that it is not difficult to recruit troops. Besides, the Snow Demon Wolf Duke conscripts must follow one after another. Although the status of the private army is lower than that of the imperial army, the private army of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke is the imperial flag! Even because of this flag, it is even higher than the garrison army in most places!

Even though he doesn't have to worry about recruiting troops, it is extremely difficult to train these people into elite soldiers. No matter how about equipped horses, he just doesn't have one of the professional generals responsible for training! How can he train these people?

But although the number of these two thousand people Robert gave him was not large, they were all well trained by Robert and had sufficient experience. He could have these two thousand elite soldiers responsible for the important task of training, and directly solved his own big problem! Moreover, as Duke Wen, Robert gave him two thousand people at one time is really a lot!!

How can such good news not make Lin Feng feel excited?

It seems that the boat is really straight when it reaches the bridge...

While Lin Feng was feeling emotion, he also heard Annie's desire to speak. Seeing her shy face, he couldn't help but feel warm and deliberately put his face in Annie's ear: "What else has the dean said?"

"Also said..." Annie felt the breath of Lin Feng in her ears, and her face was even more charming. She held it in a long time before she could hold it out a few words from her mouth, but it was like a mosquito ringing: "I also said that I am not young anymore, so I asked me to urge you quickly..."

Although this sentence was extremely small, Lin Feng heard it clearly, and even word by word hit his heart!

Suddenly, a sweetness surged into my heart like a flood! However, with this sweetness pouring in, another sadness surged into my heart.

He suddenly realized that although he was less than seventeen years old this year, Annie was almost twenty-one! Twenty-one, in his previous life, he was a confused college student who had just walked out of college, but in this world, he was already the mother of the child. He even used a sentence from his previous life to describe that it was that children could make soy sauce!

According to the general situation in this world, it is appropriate for women to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and it is a late marriage at the age of ten. If you are not married at the age of twenty-one, you may have almost no special group like Anne!

At this moment, Lin Feng finally realized that Anne had not only paid youth to wait for her to marry her, but also strong pressure from the outside world. If she hadn't been her natural beauty and Robert's daughter, under such strong public opinion, she wouldn't know what would happen!

Thinking of this, the sweetness that surged in Lin Feng's heart suddenly disappeared halfway, leaving more sadness and emotion. Looking at the cheeks in front of him that could almost seep out of blood, Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressed the surging in his heart, and gently whispered in Annie's ear: "Annie... After I stabilize here, you can marry me!"
