Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 154

In November, little Anthony was born exactly half a year ago. He has already turned over by himself, and even occasionally sits up independently, but he is still unsteady. He always falls down after sitting for a few seconds. Although Wei Wei thinks the picture is very interesting, But he didn’t dare to let him sit for too long, so as not to hurt his young spine.

The half-year-old little Anthony is more lively than when he was just born, and he is not as afraid of people as before. When people who are familiar around him hug him, he will no longer cry, laugh when he is teased, and will babble when he talks. I don’t understand the baby language, but besides the parents, the only ones who can hug him are the maid and the little aunt Dolores who I often see. It looks like a fake cry.

Even so, the castle still regards him as the cutest little angel. Even Caroline’s first thing when she wakes up every day is to go to her uncle and aunt’s room to see the baby, and little Anthony sees her. They will wave their hands happily, and then the two little baby chickens and ducks can talk for a long time.

With November approaching and Dolores’ engagement day approaching, the family packs their bags and prepares to leave for Aldrich.

This time, the five members of the Williams family traveled together, and even the two children were not left behind. Although the carriage was not so comfortable, they could not be left behind. Not to mention that little Anthony could not be separated from his parents, even Caroline has also grown up to cry because of the absence of adults in the family. Her health is not very good. She is prone to getting sick when she keeps crying, and she has mastered the ability to act like a spoiled child without a teacher. Knowing that they don’t want to take her, she Holding Wei Wei’s skirt, she didn’t cry, she just looked at her with aggrieved expression, seeing that Wei Wei was full of guilt, and finally had to surrender and agreed to take her with her.

Aldridge County is an inland county and does not rely on the sea, so they still do not take the sea route this time.

To travel with two young children, the preparation work is even more. The carriage should be as comfortable and shockproof as possible. If there are no springs, try to lay as many layers of cushions as possible. All the edges and corners are covered with thick blankets. To prevent them from bumping into each other, the number of people to be brought has also increased a lot. Wei Wei brought both the housekeeper and his wife this time. They all watched Dolores grow up. Last time she and Felix Both of them missed it when they got married. This time, when Dolores got engaged, she had to bring people to the ceremony.

Butler Patton left, the castle couldn’t be without the person in charge, Wei Wei kept Qin. She had studied with Butler Patton for so long, and it was time to stand on her own.

On a good day with good weather, the Williams family’s wagon team, under the **** of knight soldiers, left Sardinson.

Wei Wei hasn’t left the manor for a long time, and she hasn’t even been out of the castle. After little Anthony was born, her farthest activity was to go to the ranch to watch the knight’s game, so she only listened to Felix about the latest changes in the territory. Talked to others and haven’t seen it yet.

Dolores would come out occasionally, but after confirming her engagement, she stayed in the castle to prepare her own engagement dress, and Caroline had never left the castle, so on the way, the three of them had no idea about the scenery along the way. are very curious.

The pair did not stop as they passed Dingle. They pulled back the curtains and looked at the town not far away.

This is no longer the original town. The flow of people coming and going has made Dingle more prosperous every day. Many people who originally lived in the surrounding villages but worked in the town have moved to the town to live. This original However, the resident population of the town of 1,000 people has now exceeded 10,000, and the area of ​​the town has expanded several times.

And these changes have been brought about in just three years.

The people in the territory have long heard the news that their Count’s family is going to go away. Many people gathered on the streets of Dingle Town to watch the excitement, and when they saw the Count’s style, when the motorcade passed by, The welcoming scene on both sides is like a parade of floats.

Wei Wei looked at the people who threw flowers at the convoy from the carriage. Every one of them looked clean. The clothes on their bodies were not new, but they fit neatly. They didn’t look like they were too thin and hungry. , You can even see a little flesh on the face, and all of them are in good spirits.

I don’t know who started it. Gradually, the people who greeted us no longer called, but sang in unison. It was a very popular folk song in Sardinson, which seemed to praise the Williams family. of one of the lords of the family, now they voluntarily sing it and dedicate it to their current lord.

Wei Wei turned to look at Felix on the other side, who was riding a horse beside the carriage. His handsome face first showed a hint of surprise, then a smile slowly poured into his face. the moment, and then raised his hand and waved to both sides.

Does he like it? Wei Wei thought, and couldn’t help but smile.

To be truly loved by people, who doesn’t like it.

The crowd’s chants muted for a few seconds, then thumped more violently.

Until the carriage passed through the town and out of Sardinson, it seemed that the unstoppable singing could still be heard behind him.

You give hope, and the people will repay all their admiration. This is their common territory. These admirations belong to Felix and Wei Wei.

After leaving Sardinson, the convoy walked along the official road for several days, then turned north and walked a long way before entering the territory of Aldridge County.

Aldridge is located in the middle of the Prady Empire. As the meeting point of the entire country, it is well-connected, prosperous, and has a large population. Even the fast-growing Sardinson is far behind.

Aldrich has several large towns, but not all of these towns belong to the Aldrich family. Two of them belong to the royal family. He handed over the management to the Aldrich family, and the Aldrich family is responsible for the city lord. Every year, these two towns can bring a lot of money to the royal family.

This situation occurs in many areas. In the prosperous aristocratic territory, there will always be a few pieces of land belonging to the royal family. The nobles manage these royal family properties for the king. As long as the king does not change the order, they have complete management rights. Except for the taxes paid on a regular basis every year, other substantial benefits belong to the nobles, and the royal family can receive large sums of money and live a luxurious life without sending people.

Sardinson had no land belonging to the king. Their place was originally a remote country place, and it was swallowed up by Prady after the defeat of a previous country. The former Earl of Williams fought with the king at that time, and was his faithful seal. Minister, after the establishment of Prady, this family land was still given to the Williams family. The king did not take any of it, and even gave some more. It was just that there were several prodigals among the family’s ancestors, and it was only due to poor management. The area of ​​Sardinson has shrunk and it is now so big. If I really want to say, the land to the west and north of Slootshire and Sardinson Castle originally belonged to Felix’s family, but it was changed decades ago. Master, even he himself no longer remembers these splendors.

The castle of the Aldrich family is located in the most prosperous of several towns, and the city is even named after the city of Alder, a veritable capital of commerce.

As soon as the convoy of Sardinson and his party entered the county, Adonis received the news that when the convoy arrived at the city gate of the city of Ord, he was already waiting there.

This commercial capital has a large number of merchants entering and leaving the city gate every day. Under the normal process, even nobles need to queue up to enter the city. However, nobles have a special channel for nobles, so they don’t have to spend too much time queuing to enter the city like ordinary people. Inspections are also relatively relaxed.

And there is the lord here, who is also the city lord, and Adonis personally greeted him. Sardinson and his party didn’t even have a routine inspection, not to mention the entrance fee that should have been paid.

The female family members did not get off the carriage. Felix and Adonis exchanged a few words and then entered the city together. Wei Wei looked back at her team and felt that Adonis was a little disadvantaged. This time they came to Aldrich. I brought all of Sardinson’s own caravan. The carriages in the back were full of Sardinson’s special products, including some of the china and silk she bought from the Great Song embassy. Can sell for a good price too, but send it to Aldridge for more money.

Moreover, they are also planning to open a store in Oder City. In the future, in addition to the capital, the Williams family will also have their own property in Oder City, and this plan was first proposed by Adonis. In order to increase the cooperative relationship between the two sides, he has even helped to find a suitable store location, just wait for them to come and see for themselves, and if they are suitable, they can directly buy it and prepare for opening.

The castle of the Aldrich family is located in the center of the city of Oder. The tall city walls are surrounded by a moat, and the magnificent castle glass windows gleam in the sun. Compared with it, Sardinson Castle is simply an ugly duckling.

Seeing the white castle that dazzled in the sun, thinking about the size of my own house and a century-old castle, it is simply one in the sky and one on the ground, although the history of Sardinson Castle is more promising. , but the refugees have been ruined for too long, and the exterior of Sardinson Fort has not been repaired, and the outer wall of Sardinson Fort is exposed stone, unlike Aldrich Castle, which is not only new, but also painted and gray. Not pretty at all.

“I think Fort Sardinson needs to be renovated.” She looked back and whispered to Dolores beside her.

Dolores didn’t answer her, but stared blankly at the castle that was getting closer, her eyes shining brightly.

Is that where she will live in the future?
