"Good afternoon, Miss Frigga."
The young man took off his hat and saluted gracefully.
Xihe's eyes stayed on the gentle smile at the corner of his mouth for two seconds, then moved away and passed by him. The man followed him slowly: "Miss Frigga, I heard that you haven't thought about planting for the next sowing season. What?"
"Mr. Grande, do you have any suggestions?"
The summer wind was blowing, and slaves were picking cotton in full swing in the cotton fields, while the old housekeeper was giving instructions.
Xihe wondered what would be more profitable to grow. A large family plus slaves would cost a lot of money. How could he afford to just grow soybeans?
"Your land is fertile, why don't you grow grapes and make wine?"
Xihe turned his head in surprise and looked into Ireland's smiling eyes. His blue eyes were as deep as the gentle sea water. He said: "Wine has always been an enduring product of this land. It is shipped domestically and abroad. If you grow grapes, you should not Worry about sales."
Regardless of climate or soil conditions, this land is the best place for grape production.
Of course Xihe knew that, after all, Leicester also got a share of the pie, but the problem was that the Seymour family only became prosperous from the old Hoja. Their ancestors were ordinary civilians and had no grape-growing skills at all.
She told the truth about her dilemma.
Ireland was a little surprised, Jier smiled and said: "This is not difficult. When I was traveling, I saw how they planted grapes at a big landowner's house. If Miss Frigga is willing, I can help you with all my strength."
His words were sincere, but Xihe was shocked. Are people in this world so helpful?
She looked the person up and down. There was a smile on Ireland's lips. Her body was straight and upright, elegant and decent like an old-school aristocratic gentleman.
This is the fifth day since he came to Lant Manor. The person who was supposed to set off never left for some reason.
Thinking that he didn't seem to have any good intentions, Xihe agreed.
Ireland took her hand and lowered her head to peck her gently: "Miss Frigga, you are really a kind and lovely lady."
The cold lips fell on the back of the warm hand. Xihe's hair stood on end for a moment, and her scalp felt like it had exploded. She subconsciously withdrew her hand and looked at him in surprise, as if something was wrong!
Ireland's eyes were full of confusion: "Miss Frigga?"
Xihe rubbed the back of his hand, and the feeling was gone again.
She shook her head and glanced at him quickly: "You can talk to the housekeeper about grape planting. I'm leaving first." She turned around and hurried back to the room.
Behind him, the man standing under the shade tree smiled.
His thin lips were slightly hooked, revealing his white teeth, and a strange red light flashed across his dark blue eyes. The floating wind stopped for an instant, and even the birds were too frightened to move.
Interest flashed in his eyes: "What a sensitive little guy."
He glanced at the hot sunshine above his head and saw the slaves working hard in the distance. His eyebrows wrinkled because he couldn't see them. Hey, I want him to come in person...
Back in the room, Xihe sat in front of the mirror: "Gouzi, have you noticed it?"
After shouting twice, Gouzi became drowsy and woke up drowsily: "What, what's wrong? What happened?"
Xihe: "...What use do you have!"
In the next few days, she kept staring at Grande, but she didn't find anything wrong. Instead, she felt that this guy was not only humorous and knowledgeable, but also made the old housekeeper admire him. Even the skinny children in the manor saw him. He showed a toothless smile.
Xihe was depressed. Did she really feel that something was wrong?
"Miss Frigga, what are you thinking about?"
A low and pleasant male voice sounded in his ears.
Xihe froze, then relaxed quickly, and turned around with a smile: "Elland, weren't you discussing with the housekeeper about buying seedlings? Why are you here?"
Eiland sat down on the chair and looked at the bright and gorgeous roses outside the house with her. In the distance was the field that had been picked, revealing the red soil, and slaves were holding hoes to renovate the roses.
This was proposed by Xihe. They used to dig a small hole and scatter the seeds in it.
It is natural to work hard, but Xihe improved everyone's food, kept the slaves fed and clothed, and allowed them to drink at night. The slaves were very active in their work.
"The matter has been discussed. The butler asked me to ask you if you want to pick your uncle home in person?"
He picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a glass very naturally, drank it, and sighed comfortably: "Miss Frigga, I never thought that someone as beautiful and lovely as you would do something like drive your uncle out. .”
Xihe looked at him expressionlessly. Is this person here to cause trouble?
Of course, Ailand was not looking for trouble. He just felt that the guest room was too dark and narrow, and he wanted to change to a larger room.
He looked around and pointed to the room next to Xihe's bedroom. There was an old camphor tree in front of the window, and the sun could shine in all day long: "Can I live in this room?"
Xihe: "..."
Does he know what politeness means?
But the other person helped her so much just because he wanted to live in a good room, so what reason did she have to refuse?
Ireland successfully moved to the second floor. He ordered the servants to change him into a light velvet quilt. He also placed the antiques collected by Old Hoja in the storage room around the room, and cleaned the bathroom to a discernible shine.
The servants were panting from exhaustion, and Ireland finally nodded reluctantly and waved them off.
Xihe stood by the door. It had to be said that this guy had good taste. He was full of European aristocratic style. He was tall and long-legged and stood by the window, making the roses in full bloom outside the house look even more gorgeous and extravagant.
"Miss Frigga, I am very satisfied."
He turned his head and smiled.
Xihe showed a fake smile: "Oh."
Soon, the housekeeper bought back the grape seedlings and planted them in the ground under the guidance of Ireland. At the same time, the original owner's uncle Suzani and others finally returned with their families.
A dozen people, dressed in rags, stood in front of the manor, hesitating whether to enter or not.
When they were driven away, they took nothing but their clothes. Frigga said many unpleasant words and told them not to take another step closer to the manor, otherwise they would be escorted to the prison camp.
The Prison Court is a place for dealing with those who have offended the nobles. Those who enter will at least lose their skin, and the methods are cruel.
Frigga became a lord, and she was unwilling to take them in and drive them out of her territory. Then they would be helpless civilians who could be bullied by anyone.
They thought that this was how they would be for the rest of their lives, but who knew that Frigga would change her mind.
At this moment, they stood nervously in front of the door, waiting for the manor owner's order.
When Xihe got the news, he immediately asked the housekeeper to invite the people in. The first thing he said was: "I was young and ignorant, which caused my uncles and uncles to suffer. I hope you can forgive me."
Just when Suzani was about to speak, Xihe said: "The new sowing season has begun. Dear uncle, let us participate in the planting of grapevines!"
The whole family was stunned when they were pulled into the field.
The old butler smiled and asked the slaves to take one each, and told the young master's relatives: "This is the hard work of the young master, and it is also the main livelihood of the Simon family's future development. You must work hard."
The eyes of the Simon family suddenly lit up!
Frigga said 'Simon Family', she recognized them, she wanted to advance and retreat together with them, and create a future for the Simon Family together! They are a family!
Bang bang chichi, everyone is involved in nervous and exciting planting.
Xihe held a big black umbrella and stood at the edge of the field with a smile, watching everyone busy, but no one expressed dissatisfaction.
Frigga is the owner of this land and a noble lord. How can a noble person like her go to the fields? They are here to do this rough work.
The Simon family was forced to live in the slums for several years, and the few traces of dignity in their bodies were washed away. Xihe's kindness made them unable to help but start to look forward to a better future.
"Miss Frigga, you are so...cute." Ireland commented.
He licked his lips secretly. If he ate it in one bite, he wondered if it would be as sweet and delicious as he imagined...
Xihe's sight sent shivers down his spine. He wanted to take a closer look, but he saw him smiling. His blue eyes were gentle and clear, seeming to warm people's hearts. His chestnut curly hair was blown by the wind. Behind him was the vast field. He looked free and easy. And gentle.
Xihe: "...Thank you for the compliment. I think I'm cute too."
She said seriously. Ellender was stunned for a moment, then laughed, thinking that she might as well just keep it up.
Xihe didn't know that there was an extremely dangerous person living next to her, and she spent her whole day thinking about how to tear her down and devour her. She found that a week had passed, but Auro's group didn't bother her.
Was that guy also killed on the way? If so, that's great.
However, the facts were destined to disappoint her. Auro was not dead. He was still alive and well. The reason why he did not come to trouble her was because he was sent to deal with Serge, an officer with some power.
Unfortunately, he became Alice's brother-in-law, and without knowing it, he helped his wife do several things that hurt Alice.
Although he is very innocent and even dutiful in his official duties, who allows him to have a restless wife? If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you will be punished.
Auro found evidence that he had accepted bribes, and escorted the person to His Majesty, asking him to order the matter to be dealt with.
Seeing that he was an insignificant officer, His Majesty waved his hand, and the soldiers drove him into the dungeon. As for what kind of suffering he will suffer, and how his wife regrets it, it is unknown.
Auro finished handling the matter and then ran to the Lant Manor without stopping.
The Duke of Leicester said that Miss Alice had asked about the manor for the second time and asked him to resolve it as soon as possible no matter what method he used.
The sound of horse hooves clattered, and the silver armor quickly passed through the dense forest.
In the manor, grape seedlings are spread out in rows in the fields, and their brand-new leaves look very pleasant.
Xihe stood by the window and glanced at the slaves sunbathing leisurely under the tree and the Simon family members laughing and joking, with smiles on his face. Well, that's good.
But soon, the smile on her face solidified.
She wiped her eyes and leaned out of the window to check. Sure enough, several fast horses were galloping towards the end of the road.
She turned and went downstairs: "Brando!"
Auro quickly came to the door of the manor. He used his weapon to push away the slaves who tried to stop him, and rushed to the front of the house on horseback: "Frigga, you can't escape this time!"
He leaned over and grabbed her with his big, thick hands, his eyes fierce and proud.
Dare to challenge his bottom line again and again, he must kill her this time to vent his anger! However, he will definitely enjoy her before she dies.
Xihe was furious. Those disgusting and sticky eyes were looking for death!
As the housekeeper screamed, she grabbed Auro's arm, pulled it hard, threw it, smashed it against the wall, slid down slowly, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Auro fell so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, his internal organs shifted, and blood spurted out from his mouth.
Xihe looked down at him and looked at him coldly: "Go back and tell Lester not to mess with me! Otherwise, even if you are the same kind, I will not show mercy."
Similar, what do you mean?
Auro didn't understand, but he knew he was going to fail again this time.
A huge sense of shame surged into his cheeks, and his face turned red. Frigga, this bitch! How dare she!
Of course Xihe dares. She is now strong. Although the person who marked her has not been found yet, as long as she is not from Leicester, she has no reason to be afraid.
She said with a pretty face: "Get out!"
Auro opened his mouth to say something, but blood clogged his throat.
The knights were frightened and hurriedly lifted up their captain and fled in despair.
People came and left faster. If it weren't for the blood on the wall, everyone would have thought they were hallucinating.
Xihe looked at everyone, and those who looked at him could not help but lower their heads. Their pale faces were full of fear. Only Ai Rande did not hide the admiration in his eyes: "Miss Frigga, you are really amazing. Got it!"
"Can I ask you for advice? I hope that the next time I encounter an enemy, I can deal with it without hesitation like you."
The expression on his handsome face was extremely sincere, like a true seeker.
Xihe was a little silent. Is this guy trying to explain it to her? She said, "If you are not afraid of hard work, of course I can teach you. This is not a profound trick."
Ireland was very happy, so he took the back of her hand and kissed her again: "You are really a kind and beautiful person."
Xihe: "..."
He pulled back his hand expressionlessly and turned around to enter the house.
"Is this guy really okay?"
Every time he kissed her, her scalp was numb, and her eyes looked like he wanted to eat her.
Gouzi considered his words: "Perhaps he likes you as a single rich woman? After all, he is a bard at best, but a wanderer at worst. He has no fixed abode. If he marries you, he will win."
Xihe: "...it doesn't look like it."
The noble temperament that radiates from the bones of Ailande cannot be faked casually. It can only be cultivated by being exposed to it since childhood.
Even if he is a poor man, with his abilities, how can he not make a living? No need to lie to her.
Gouzi rolled his eyes: "Then why are you asking me?" He said but didn't believe it.
This issue is put aside for now.
Xihe began to teach Ailand step by step, which made her very angry. Ailande's hands and feet were stiff. Every time he was asked to take a step, he would take the wrong hand and couldn't tell his left and right sides. She once suspected that this guy was deliberately teasing her.
However, when she saw Ailande's dark face, she realized that he probably didn't expect that he was so stupid.
Seeing that she was trying to hold back her laughter, Ailande said secretly, "Is it funny?"
Xihe pretended to be serious: "How could it be? You are very serious. I admire your persistence very much!" His eyes were extremely sincere.
Ireland glanced at her coldly, turned around and left, not even bothering to smile.
Xihe tutted: "No, this guy."
After successfully treating the other party, Xihe felt so happy that she endured nausea and drank two more bowls of sheep blood during dinner. This made her miss the cup of blood she drank in the castle... Xihe decided to have another meal at night. Go check it out.
