Duke of Herrington

Chapter 27 Doubt about life.
"Mia~ Is the watermelon delicious?"

"Delicious! Sister Alice~ I still want to eat strawberries~" Mia moved the chair with a smile, and stuck it next to Alice. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about her snatching her husband a few days ago.

Now the two can be described as "glue like paint", inseparable all day long, and sometimes, Alice will show a little magic to make Mia happy~ Mia will also act like a baby to satisfy Alice's motherhood!
Alice lovingly pinched Mia's face, moved the flowerpot in front of her closer with her foot, and threw a few seeds into it~ "It will be planted~ Mia Baoer~"

With a short incantation, coupled with a slight surge of magic power, within a short while, a strawberry that is about the size of an egg will grow!Sweet dew from nowhere is hanging on it, so it tastes delicious just by looking at it!
"Come on~Mia, open your mouth~ah~"

"Ah~mu~" The taste of happiness is hard to describe, Mia covered her little face, and rubbed against Alice beside her~ the deer bumped excitedly.

Three days later, Ted's truckload of seeds was almost tested. After collecting patterns, he found that these plants were not all crops, but also many herbs, even some rare and precious medicinal materials. , like what 'codonopsis, astragalus, ginseng, ganoderma' is no exception.

Ted is not a doctor, and he doesn't know how to mix and match traditional Chinese medicine. Let these tasks be left to the students who are studying herbal medicine~
The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the people in the house are getting more and more bored.
There is nothing to do except to eat enough every day and raise fat at home. Now, even the weekly supplies are distributed, and there is no need to go by myself. There are special municipal staff who carry boxes and deliver them door-to-door.
Except for being able to move around when going to take a shower, most of the time I stay at home and stare.

At this time last year, men had to brave the heavy snow and go to the forest to cut firewood in single clothes, and women also had to do some odd jobs to subsidize their families
But this year, everything has changed. Food and drink are given away, and clothes are also given away. Charcoal and firewood are left on the street and taken by themselves, or they can wait for others to deliver them.
In short, people in the northern border began to doubt life from this moment. Apart from getting up from the bed to put on clothes every day, the rest is to eat and wait to die.
Those who are of the right age should take advantage of this time to get married quickly and have a child as soon as possible~
Excellent families, such as the Garland family, seem to have two new lives to be born!

In the era of Ted's last life, at least there were entertainment activities in winter, such as playing on mobile phones and watching TV
And now. After working for a few hours every day, I can only sigh at home.
My body is only 15 years old, and there are still three years before the age when I can do indescribable things, and I can only sigh when I see beautiful women.

"Hey"

Picking up the water glass, taking a sip of hot water, and sighing, I don't know how long it will take for the light industry to develop to the level of "reading novels with a mobile phone".
Such days lasted for [a month and a half.]

But there was still no improvement. Ted even picked up the habit of reading again, learning all kinds of knowledge every day, and even built a small laboratory in the workshop to teach some basic knowledge to the students who chose to major in chemistry.

The people around are so boring, and the townspeople are even more so, and some people have learned to read and write during this time!A lot of villains have been created to contribute to the population growth of the northern border!

"Hiccup~"

A full belch was burped out, and according to the reputation, it was still Mia who was full.
Wearing a lot of clothes in winter, Ted didn't even know how much weight she had put on. She probably gained some weight, even though she didn't drink Coke recently.

"Mia, do you want to drink coconut water~" The relationship between Alice and Mia is getting better and better. It seems that Ted is the third party. At this moment, they are hugging each other, as if they were young, and the mother tells her daughter a story
Ted put down his glass and sighed softly in his heart: "Let her go~ What am I in a hurry for? They are all my daughter-in-laws, can they still run?"

Mia lay comfortably in Alice's arms, took out a textbook, and looked up at her: "Sister Alice, why don't the moon elves use emphatic words?"

"Because our language comes from the 2-year-old human language, and there was no emphasis on vocabulary at that time. We are also learning recently, hehe~ It's like when you decisively reject other people, you don't have to say No, you can say~Nein! "

When Alice said the next word, the facial features she put on looked like a goldfish spitting bubbles, which made Mia laugh out loud~
At least~in the lord's mansion, the active air overwhelms the boring atmosphere~
Just when Ted thought the boredom would last until the end of the cold winter, Chris hurriedly opened the door and shouted: "My lord! It's not good! The fifth prince is here!"

"Fifth prince?" Ted was stunned, and just looked at Chris like this, before speaking after a full ten seconds: "Fifth prince? There are still five princes in our empire?"

"My lord, it's like this. The emperor has three wives in total. The first two died of dystocia, and the third one is our current empress. The fifth prince is her child."

"Why did he come to our northern border?" Ted felt his back go cold, and he had already prepared for the worst.

The prince came to the city either to offer condolences or to issue a new decree, or to confer a title on behalf of the emperor. No matter which one, I have no reason to refuse. The prince's group will definitely enter Valentine's City, and the situation in the city will also be seen.
It won't be good if these people go back and tell the southern nobles what they've seen and heard.
Besides, people in the north have been squeezed out for generations. No matter where the people in the north go, they will be ridiculed as 'poor and backward'. Even the beggars on the street mock the north as a 'barren and cold land'.
Now, the Northern Territory is considered well-developed. If they know about it, they don't know how much wool the royal family will use for any reason!

They can cry miserably if they sell things quietly, and they will not doubt that they will blame the traffic and horse bandits. After all, they have never seen the north, but they are here, and the secrets here can't be hidden!

As long as they enter the door, they will stay until next spring. Even if they can escape the first day of junior high school, they will not be able to escape the fifteenth day!
"In this case." The eyes of Ted and Chris became indifferent at the same time, and a kind of murderous thought was about to come out!

My first task is to protect my people!If any outsider dares to destroy the peace in the northern border, even the prince will destroy him!

The ancestors were canonized by the Edward royal family, not the current York royal family, and the family is not loyal to the current emperor. For the current emperor, they only obey orders. As one of the ancient nobles, although their status is a bit low, they are the only Aristocrats who survived 2 years ago.

Other nobles in the same period gradually declined or even disappeared due to the marriage of close relatives.

Thanks to this bitter cold place, the Herrington family can continue to this day.

The change of the royal family does not mean the change of the dynasty. In the empire, it is usually the great nobles who replace the declining royal family. In the past 2 years, there has not been a single incident of persecution against the nobles. The only possibility is that Ted threw a lot of shit. .
Over the years, the royal family has changed from Edward at first to William, then to Charles, and then to Richard
Anyway!The emperor's surname will always change, and so will the noble's surname. The only thing that remains the same is the Viscount of the North. It is still Herrington.

Outside the city gate, the Fifth Prince rubbed his hands and waited for more than half an hour, but the guards on the city gate still refused to open the door.

Since Ted came to this world, the residents living in the villages outside have also been resettled in the city. Now, there is no one outside Valentine except the prince and his party.

Sir Da Vinci was wearing a thick sackcloth, and tremblingly said to himself: "What's going on, is the city gate frozen?"

"No, they don't want us to go in." Steve, the fifth prince with outstanding eyesight, saw through the appearance at a glance.

The guards on the tower were drinking tea leisurely, paying no attention to the affairs below, as if they were waiting for the news later.

Smoke rises in the city, judging by the density, it doesn't look like the population has dropped sharply after the disaster, but more like a scene of prosperity.

Another point is that there is no peculiar smell coming from the city, not even a little bit, the team can only smell their own smell.
Even if the low temperature can freeze feces, it is impossible to have no smell at all.

In other cities, in the cold winter, the stench can be smelled far away.

Such a scene made the Fifth Prince even want to go to the city to find out.

After careful consideration in the lord's mansion, Ted reached an agreement with Chris.

Let them in first, and if something goes wrong, silence them immediately!
After all, the winter in the north is cold, the snow is so heavy, and there is a blizzard, it is easy to get lost in the Gobi. At that time, the natural environment is harsh, and it is difficult to survive. Finally, throw the blame to the wild beasts, and Ted will be safe and sound!
"Let them in first, let the guards ambush! Mia, Alice, you two go to my bedroom to rest~ wait for me to come back~"

"Okay, my lord~" The two girls took the watermelon and left Ted's field of vision holding hands.
