Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 155
The distance between Aldridge and Satinson can be reached by ordinary caravans in seven or eight days, but because they brought children and little Anthony was a little uncomfortable with the bumps of the carriage, the entire caravan had to slow down. Speed, so I set off on the 1st and arrived at Aldridge. It was already the thirteenth, and there were still eight days left until the engagement day.
However, there is still plenty of time. All the preparations are done by the man. Sardinson only needs to send people over.
When they arrived at Aldridge Castle, they were warmly welcomed by Lady Salina.
“You are finally here, dear Vivi, Lola.”
Just after getting off the carriage, a fragrant breeze hit, Wei Wei and Dolores received a warm hug one after another.
“Nice to see you again, Mrs. Salina.” Wei Wei smiled and returned a hug.
“Hello, ma’am.” Dolores pulled up the corner of her skirt and smiled shyly at her.
“I said you don’t have to be so polite, just call me by my name, or my aunt.” Salina hugged Wei Wei, then went to hug Dolores, and then held her to look at her for a while, the more she looked at it. The more satisfied, he praised Wei Wei: “We haven’t seen you for two months, our Lola is getting more and more beautiful.”
Dolores was even more embarrassed when she said that.
Just at this moment, Penny took Caroline out of the carriage, and little Anthony was also carried down, and Salina’s attention was immediately diverted.
“Your child is getting more and more cute.” She first praised little Anthony with a strong smile, and after receiving Wei Wei’s smile, she bent down and smiled at Caroline: “Oh, dear little beauty ,Still remember me.”
This lady is not only Yan Control, but also likes children very much, so she is very enthusiastic about the two children of the Williams family, especially they will be considered relatives in the future.
The little girl who rode the carriage all the way was stunned. She glanced at Salina timidly, then hid behind Wei Wei, hugged her legs, and carefully stuck her head out to look at Salina.
Wei Wei touched her little head, squatted down, and gently brought her to him: “This is your grandma Salina, you have seen it before, and she gave you a doll, do you remember? “
Caroline, the person she met a few times two months ago, actually doesn’t remember much, but she remembered the doll. It was a female doll carved from wood. She had very fine features and could play dress-up games. Although Caroline has a lot of them now. The doll, there is no shortage of this one, but she still loves it.
After vaguely recalling it, Caroline also held up her skirt and greeted her in a milky voice: “Hello, Grandma Sarina.”
“It’s so good.” Sarina liked such cute and polite children, and patted her head happily, and stuffed her with a specially prepared candy.
The candy is wrapped in a clean handkerchief. It is said to be candy, but it is actually a sugar cube, but it is a white sugar cube imported from abroad, which is rarer and more valuable than the popular brown sugar.
Caroline likes to eat candy, but her family always doesn’t let her eat too much for fear of tooth decay, and the adults have taught her not to accept anything from strangers, so she didn’t take it when she saw the candy, but glanced at Wei first. Wei, waited for her to nod before she said thank you sweetly and accepted the candy.
Seeing her behave like this, the smile on Salina’s face deepened.
Then, she remembered that there was someone on her side who hadn’t introduced: “I was so happy to see you guys that I forgot. Come on, this is Prince Andrew, I think you should know each other.”
Her daughter had married Prince Andrew a month ago. Shortly after the wedding, Salina invited them to Aldridge as a guest for the engagement of Adonis, so this time they came out to receive the Williams family. Also present.
“Yes.” Wei Wei nodded, then brought a few children and Felix forward to greet Prince Andrew.
I haven’t seen him for more than a year. Prince Andrew has grown a lot taller, but at the same time he is also fatter. Fortunately, because he is tall enough, he only looks a little plump. His appearance follows the king’s, not handsome, but not ugly. It’s just that the expression is a little dull, giving people a kind of honest and honest, not too smart feeling.
And his wife, the new second prince concubine, that is Salina’s daughter Elina, is a little beauty. She looks very similar to Salina, and it can almost be said that it was carved out of a mold. She was also very gentle, but the fifteen-year-old girl was supposed to be at her most carefree time, but although she smiled, there was a faint trace of sadness between her brows.
Wei Wei has also done some research on the princess and Dolores’ future sister-in-law. It is said that Elina originally had a fiancé, which was decided by her father when she was very young. The heir, but unfortunately, the heir unfortunately fell off a horse while out hunting a few years ago. After that, the old Earl Aldridge became more and more unwell, and the family was busy taking care of the sick Earl, forgetting for a while. The marriage of the youngest daughter, and before the death of the old earl, the king just sent someone to ask for marriage. For the sake of the family, they had to agree to this marriage.
Wei Wei can actually understand what they are doing. After all, Aldridge is different from Sardinson. Two cities in this prosperous commercial county belong to the king. At that time, Adonis had not inherited the title and had great control over the territory. Limited, and because he is too young to be convincing, if he does not agree to this marriage, the king is likely to take back the Aldrich family’s management rights over the two cities, and reappoint a new city lord to fight with the Aldrich family. The situation is even more out of control, they don’t want to marry and it is impossible.
From the mouths of Salina and Adonis, Elina is a very gentle and family-friendly girl, and she also has some feelings for her former fiance. After the former fiance died, she was a little unhappy. She had no expectations for her marriage, so after knowing about it, she only thought about it a little and agreed.
Wei Wei took a closer look at the young couple and found that although Elena seemed to be worried, she did not seem unacceptable to Prince Andrew, and Prince Andrew also cared about her very much. The two stood together. At times, the prince would always look back at her from time to time, and when he was discovered, he would show a slightly flattering smile.
At this time, Elina’s expression will be relaxed.
After a little glimpse of the newlyweds’ privacy, Wei Wei retracted her gaze and followed everyone into the castle.
In the past, the Aldrich family was richer than the Williams family, and now neither Felix nor Wei Wei pursue a luxurious life, but prefer warm and comfortable furnishings, so everything in Aldridge Castle looks like It is much better than Sardinson, especially in the decoration, the precious antiques of pure gold utensils can be seen everywhere, and the servants are also well-mannered and elegant, showing the style of the great aristocracy.
But when the Williams family was followed by a group of maids and male servants in black and white uniforms, the calm and majestic momentum really suppressed the servants who had looked down on the Williams family. one head.
This is actually the norm. Although Felix is now known as the richest nobleman, some people in private call him a nouveau riche to belittle him. Of course, they never dared to say it in person, only in private He secretly talked about it, just to vent his jealousy.
And after such a derogatory title spread to the capital, those who had not seen him, their views on the rich earl were inevitably affected, and they also looked down on the Williams family. First.
Although the masters of the Aldrich family have never had such an idea, their servants will inevitably feel superior.
But now seeing such a group of neatly dressed, well-mannered and particularly conspicuous servants, this sense of superiority was suddenly impacted and collapsed.
Although the servants of the Aldrich family are treated well and have the same clothes, they are not as good as those of Sardinson in terms of style and quality of fabrics, especially the clothes of this group of people are so novel, let alone servants Now, even the masters couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
After a group of people sat down in the living room, Elina, who had been quiet all the time, said something rare: “They look really smart in this way.” She also looked at the maid next to Wei Wei.
It is obviously an unflattering black skirt, but it can be matched with a white apron, how can it look so good?
Salina also nodded in agreement: “It’s really good.” Then she asked Wei Wei with interest: “Did Felix wear this style of clothing when you got married?”
Wei Wei smiled and said, “It’s really similar clothes, but there are some differences in style.”
“Compared to this, I prefer the new uniforms of the knights. You can take a look when you have a chance. I guarantee that men will like it.” Felix sat next to Wei Wei and joined the topic.
Although it is an improved military uniform, Felix is still keenly aware of the real use of this kind of clothing, especially after the knights put on the matching riding boots, which completely highlights the handsome and heroic men, and it is very convenient to move. Felix was so greedy, he turned around and asked Wei Wei to order a few sets for himself, otherwise, when the knights all changed into military uniforms to go out, is he still wearing a robe? That picture is not very interesting to think about.
Of course, as the master, his military uniform has a different design.
He said this, naturally aroused the curiosity of other people, especially the two men present. Even if Adonis is too beautiful, he is still an uncompromising man, and Prince Andrew is young, but because of his own qualifications No, I always wanted to have the combat power of a knight, so I was curious about what he said was a costume that men would like.
However, the knights who needed to **** the convoy didn’t put on their new uniforms, so they couldn’t see it if they wanted to, so they could only wait for a chance to talk about it later.
And here, Salina is welcoming Wei Wei and the others: “The room has already been prepared, you rest first, I will take you to go shopping in the city tomorrow.”
Wei Wei was also looking forward to seeing this commercial city that was said to be not inferior to the capital, so she readily agreed to Salina’s invitation.
