chapter Five(2/3)

The villa in the suburbs is the real home of the Baron. If the Baron's family is so embarrassed, it is almost unquestionable. Among those information, there is a list of food purchases from the Baron's family for a month, which is almost all full of vegetables. Only on Sundays do there occasionally a meat dish.

It can be imagined that for such a family, it is indeed quite difficult to prepare a dance and add a banquet.

Rebow has always been puzzled about this stupid behavior of slapping and pretending to be fat. This baron is not an exception. There are many such destitute nobles in Francis. Many of them have no property except for a short title left by their ancestors. Although they do not have to borrow money to live, they will definitely have no taste in their lives. Some people who are willing to let go of their prides will work as private secretaries in the wealthy upper aristocratic family. On the one hand, they will maintain their ancestral property and on the other hand, they will wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

However, most people are willing to live hard, and at the same time they are reluctant to let go of the meaningless noble demeanor.

The Baron is definitely one of these people, but although his life is hard, the Baron obviously thinks his marriage life is quite happy.

The Baroness was originally the daughter of another ruined noble family, and these ruined nobles seemed to have become a special class. They were neither willing to intermarry with the civilians nor were it easy to marry a wealthy family.

When intermarrying with civilians, even if the in-laws are rich, they will feel indecent.

If you marry a wealthy family, the wealthy family may not be able to like them. The wedding is the real problem. The wedding of the wealthy nobles is extremely grand and luxurious, which is far from affordable by the decent nobles. Even giving a decent gift can completely bankrupt those decent nobles.

Therefore, the ideal marriage partner for the destitute aristocrats is also the decentralized aristocrats.

The baron's marriage was obviously the so-called match made by heaven.

The couple had a deep relationship, so they spent twenty years together, which became a anniversary worth celebrating.

But it is conceivable that at that time, what kind of people will be present, which is probably a grand display of the ruined nobles in the south of Franx.

If the Baroness and the Wife have any of the most precious property, then it can only be said to be their daughter.

The information mentioned that the Baron had an 18-year-old daughter. It seems that in addition to celebrating the twenty years spent together, it is also an important reason to choose a suitable candidate among the children of many devastating nobles.

The information describes the Baron's personal preferences, tastes and tempers in detail.

Like most ruined nobles, the barons had extensive knowledge and the ruined noble families had no extra money to spend on entertainment, and reading was obviously the best way to relax that they could afford.

These destitute nobles are very gentle and gentle people, because they are often not easy to find people who work for them, and losing their temper makes the servants leave them. They will definitely not be able to afford such huge losses.

While looking at the information, Rebbo thought about how to attract the attention of the Baron and everyone.

If there are many children of destitute nobles who are about the same age as theirs, compared with their solid reading skills, they have been desperately absorbing knowledge for more than four months, and it is quite difficult to stand out based on these things. And if they talk about aspects that they are not good at, it will be troublesome.

The only thing I am proud of is that I have seen countless precious goods from all over the world in my previous store, and Mr. Hyde's private collection is the best among the treasures.

Speaking of being knowledgeable and admiring, the children of the destitute nobles will definitely not be as good as themselves. If you want to make a big splash, making a plan in this regard is a good choice.

Thinking of this, a plan slowly emerged in Ruibo's mind.

Throughout the night, Ribo was there thinking about every step of the plan, every possible accident, and measures to deal with such unexpected things.

All of this was what Eckert once taught him.

Now Ribo is really in handy.

When he stopped thinking about everything, the sky had already turned white.

Although he didn't sleep all night, Ruibo still felt refreshed.

According to daily habits, after running around the manor along the route previously established by Kelle, Ribo returned to the house.

In the living room, the housekeeper and Eckert were already ready. There was a well-worked dress on the sofa in the living room, without any extra decorations, and no flashy foils.

With the help of the butler, Ruibo completed a complete set of work such as combing his hair and washing his face. After washing his face, he also added the fragrance extracted from some flowers to the water.

The hair was cleaned by the butler. Although even the shirt was wet, after completing these tasks, Ruibo felt that it was worth it.

After changing his shirt and putting on his dress, Ruibo was a little uncomfortable with the lace of shirts with a large section of his cuffs.

The leather boots were already ready, and the bright red and spotted leather was taken from which unfortunate little sika deer.

Everything is ready to stop.

Rebow asked, "Mr. Eckert, can you prepare a tea brick for me? The kind you and Mr. Hyde often drink."

Hearing Ribo's puzzling request, Eckert thought for a moment and immediately understood what Ribo meant, and he could even guess every step of the plan that Ribo was going to take.

Eckert was very happy about this, and it seemed that education was successful.

"Please take a pack of large pieces. Those small pieces are wrapped in gold foil, which makes people see at a glance that they are good things. Those large pieces are not suitable for gifts. Therefore, there is no packaging outside, but they are just wrapped tightly with fire wax. If you have never seen them, you will definitely not think about how expensive such a large piece is." An old voice came from behind.

Ruibo didn't need to look back to know that Mr. Hyde made an exception today and got up early.

Seeing that he thought about the plan that he thought for the whole night and thought was wonderful, Eckert and Mr. Hyde saw it at a glance, Rebow felt a little discouraged. Perhaps this plan was not that perfect, and perhaps Baron Lonna could also easily see it.

Eckert could guess something about what Ribo was thinking, but the boss didn't make it clear. Eckert didn't know whether to comfort his students. In his opinion, the plan was quite perfect and the chance of success was extremely high.

After hesitating for a while, Eckert finally decided to keep silent. Ribo will definitely encounter when he is not around in the future. He has to learn to make the right decision, which will affect many things.

Therefore, it is best to let Ribo fully grasp the ability to think and decide problems independently before that important moment comes.

Everything was about to stop, and the carriage was waiting outside the door.

The coachman was still the same person he brought him here, but the carriage had been replaced with another one.

It was obviously a noble private carriage, with brown paint on the outside, and two pieces of transparent glass were installed on the windows on both sides of the carriage. That was a rare thing, even if you could see the scenery outside the window, you would not let the wind blow in. On both sides of the carriage were screens. It was okay to say that in summer, the cold wind was drilling straight into the carriage in winter.

The carriage was obviously taller than the post station carriage, and it was even enough to make Ruibo stand up straight in the carriage.

There are two spotlights on the front end of the carriage, and the semi-spherical bronze mirror can shine the bright light of the oil lamp far ahead.

Ordinary post station carriages can only have a half-bright lantern, and they cannot drive without moonlight.

Following Eckert onto the carriage, the housekeeper directed the servants to carry their luggage and gifts onto the luggage rack on the roof of the carriage.

When the coachman confirmed that everything was ready, there was no looseness and it would never fall, the carriage slowly started.

For Ribo, this is not the first time he has gone far away, but sitting in such a luxurious and comfortable carriage has a brand new feeling that he has never experienced before.

The calfskin backrest seat is covered with a thick layer of cashmere. Although it is not as precious as the animal fur in Mr. Hyde's lounge, the two are not much different in terms of comfort.

The carriage carriage is composed of pine wood panels painted in dark purple, and the top is inlaid with an enamel gold relief, which is a picture of the goddess of harvest and the goddess of forest dancing.

Apart from the roof, there are not many decorations in other places, but they are also made of enamel wrapped in gold.

Such luxuriously decorated carriages are rare even in the homes of rich people in Nangang.

It is completely different from the post station carriage, which is fast and steady on the country road.

Through the thick glass window, the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground and wheels crushing the road was very soft.

Because it is well kept warm, and the sunlight shining through the car windows makes people feel warm and comfortable.

Ruibo, who had not had a good rest all night, got a little drowsy.

The carriage was moving quickly, and the inside of the carriage was shaking, and Ruibo's eyes slowly closed.

He leaned against the soft chair and fell asleep gently.

In a daze, Ruibo felt that the carriage had crossed several hills, and there seemed to be several small bridges in the middle.

As the road went down, it became more and more difficult to walk, and the bumps became more and more severe.

When Ruibo opened his eyes, the sun had already risen above his head, and there had been a change in the scenery before him.

If the journey from Nangang to Lai is green, full of vitality, and everything is so vibrant, it is completely lonely and desolate.

One or two crops were planted sparsely on both sides of the road, and the trees were not lush. It seemed that they had been almost cut by people, and bare stumps could be seen everywhere.

Compared with Nangang and Lai'er, the land here is much flatter. At first glance, there are only two small hills, unlike Nangang and Lai'er wherever there are mountains.

After climbing over a hill, you can see two families from afar, sitting alone, with yellow mud walls and straw roofs.

A small vegetable field was cultivated next to the house, which was the only green here.

In the distant wilderness, the withered thatch grew tall and tall, and you could vaguely see several goats tied there. They were obviously not interested in these unnutritious feeds.

The carriage continued to speed forward, and Ruibo even felt a little hungry.

When getting on the bus, the housekeeper placed a basket in a corner of the carriage, where food was placed.

Ruibo glanced there.

The basket has obviously been opened.

He turned his head and looked at Eckert.

As he had just done, Eckert dozed off with his back against the seat with his eyes closed.

Ruibo bent down and opened the basket.

There was a braised goose and a plate of char siu in the basket. One of the two goose legs had been torn off, but the char siu did not move much.

Ruibo placed the basket on his knees, took out a sleeve and a scarf from the drawer under the seat, put it on and ate it with relish.

The braised goose is quite good. It seems that the chef cooked it for at least a whole day, which is quite tasty, and the char siu is also very good, fresh, sweet and tasty.

Ruibo's appetite is not very big, and his two wings and a few pieces of char siu have filled his stomach.

By the time we finished eating and drinking and cleaned up, the carriage had already entered a small town. The roads in the town were also very uneven, and the stone slabs on the ground had already broken into sections. The garbage that was thrown around and no one had cleaned up reminded Ruibo of the place where they lived in Nangang.

The houses in the town are also made of mud bricks, and the roofs seem to have never been cleaned, and it seems that they have not rained for several years.

After passing through the town, the road ahead finally became much wider. Although the road surface was still so dilapidated, it at least had the momentum of Tongjun Avenue.

The carriage drove forward for another twenty or thirty miles, and a city appeared in front of me.

It is different from the prosperity and liveliness of Nangang and the long and deepness of Lai. This city covers a vast area and looks even larger than the scale of Nangang.

At first glance, there are low bungalows everywhere, and the only few tall buildings, which stand out in this place.

The carriage slowed down and drove into the city.

The streets are also full of shops, but it is obviously not as lively as Nangang and Lai.

The roads in the city center are quite flat, and it is also the most prosperous place in the entire city.

In a corner of the central square, a tall building was built, with spacious porches, thick supporting columns, marble floors, and the huge family heraldic marble-carved marble on the top of the porch, all of which indicated that their destination had arrived.
