No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion
Chapter 814 Nerd
Chapter 814 Nerd
"Penny, what did you find?" Draco asked hurriedly when he returned to the upstairs. He knew Ou Mengmeng very well. They went to school together when they were five years old. Basically, he didn't say it, but Ou Mengmeng was still their big sister. The two of them had been working together for more than a day or two. Obviously, just now, she was actually trying to change the subject. Of course, this change of subject was not aimless. The inheritance list and state compensation were not really to appease the old man. He always felt that she actually wanted to ask something else.
"No, I'm a child! But I have my mother's will. It should be said that it is the inheritance statement of the Devonte family. It explains what my mother inherited, what she can use, and what must be passed down. I believe the Drake family has many such regulations. For example, the Devonte family has gradually become smaller and smaller, so the family property has been dispersed at the beginning, and then concentrated. These are all clearly stipulated. That's why I find it incredible that the Potter family only left gold Galleons." Ou Mengmeng said as she took out an inheritance statement as big as an A3 paper and more than ten centimeters thick and showed it to them.
"Oh my god, what did you inherit?" Draco felt a headache before he even opened it. No wonder she knew everything so well. You know, aristocratic families are slowly dying out now, and it has been a long time since I have seen such a formal inheritance statement.
"Don't worry, when you inherit Malfoy Manor in the future, the instruction manual will not be thinner than this. My grandfather said that my mother rarely opened it, but I have seen it and think that this may be the temperament of the nobility. There are design drawings and the names of craftsmen on each cabinet. So this is the heritage of the nobility. In fact, it is just idleness. Everyone wants to show their presence to their descendants, and they try hard to add something to it to show that they are not a prodigal son. That's why it is so thick."
Ou Mengmeng said it casually, because for her, after she got the manual, she didn't care about these inheritances. After all, it was still a long time before she inherited them, so there was no point in thinking about it. In addition, she knew very well that she was just a book traveler, and who knew if she would still be there at that time. Besides, these things belonged to her only to look at, and she couldn't take them away, so she just read them as information. Even when she read them, she was slightly fascinated.
Of course, considering that we went to the British Library in London, this kind of instruction manual is very common in the Middle Ages of the Muggle world. However, even in modern times, the clauses in the inheritance cases of the rich are no simpler than this aristocratic instruction manual.
It was because of this that she felt that Harry's inheritance was not right after seeing Harry's vault. Now, she showed him the instructions for her family's inheritance so that he could feel it.
Harry did open it and read it. He had not received such education, so he saw the inheritance of a normal family in it. Of course, after reading it, he felt inferior and thought, "Maybe my family is really not such a family."
The emphasis in the inheritance manual is on inheritance. For example, the Devonte family, where "Penny" is, will wait until Penny turns 18 before reopening. If Penny dies, unless an heir is designated, it will be closed forever.
The clauses were so detailed that it was outrageous. Just like what "Little Petunia" said just now, even a cabinet had a magic photo to highlight the details. Who knows what the ancestors of the Potter family stipulated. If the house was blown up like that, then what if the Potter family only had a few gold Galleons left? Little Harry suddenly fell into deep worry.
However, before getting the inheritance list, the three of them returned to study. Ou Mengmeng, a professional educator, how to teach two little brats, summarized the old textbooks collected from various families, and sorted out three sets of seven-year textbooks. Of course, each ancestor has his own strengths, except for the history of magic, everyone is good at completely different things.
So even though all three sets of books were good, it was obvious that everyone had different focuses in their notes. So they were actually quite busy afterwards, first sorting out the three sets, then taking out the first-grade textbooks, comparing the notes in the three textbooks, and then writing them down separately and putting them between the textbooks.
Harry and Draco didn't know that they actually read through all the first-year homework when summarizing. At least he couldn't be despised like in Snape's class. His skills and patience in potions were also trained in the process of helping "Little Petunia" cook every day. Of course, what Harry and the others found most incredible was that Ou Mengmeng really had many wands of different shapes. As for the 2,000-year-old antique in Ollivander's shop, it was her official wand, which she took out occasionally to show off, but she never used it.
The one that Ou Mengmeng uses most often now is the one given by Eve, but they know that there are countless more spare ones in the small purse given by the goblin Faye. Even Harry and Draco don't know the exact number.
"What are you going to do today?" Old Foster was eating breakfast early in the morning while looking at his granddaughter and two boys.
These days, in addition to studying, they are actually helping to clean up and help him sell goods. For the granddaughter, helping with the business is just a kind of fun. This is really terrible. He wants to move quickly!
It is not accurate to say that they moved. Nini Magic Toy Store has another branch in Hogsmore Village. It is the only place for students in the third grade and above to relax every weekend. Little wizards from all over the UK are there, so it is also an important industry for the Foster family. Otherwise, why would they put the workshop there? Besides for Lupin, more importantly, there is a larger shipment volume.
Now that Ou Mengmeng is going to school, they moved to the branch store, and the people from the branch store just switched over. So, everything that needed to be packed up had already been packed up, and now there are only some of their small portable gadgets.
So old Foster still hopes that his granddaughter can play with children's toys instead of reading books at home every day. It feels like helping others take care of their children. The main thing is, why should his granddaughter help others take care of their children? There is no money to be made.
"What about you?" Petunia gently cut the sausages on her plate. It was breakfast time in England. While eating, she looked at Harry, who was becoming more and more relaxed in his manners.
Draco was a little fidgety because he had written to his parents early in the morning, asking them to stay at the Fosters' house. He was now eagerly waiting for their reply.
"Do you want to go and play? We're going to Hogsmore Village soon." The old man decided not to rely on the three of them to make the decision, so he said directly.
"Yeah, why don't we go to the second-hand bookstore? We can buy some extracurricular books there." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly.
"Penny! I let you go and play." Old Foster was speechless.
I use QQ Wubi, and I really feel that Wubi has declined. QQ Wubi has not been updated for a long time. I doubt how long it can last. Will I have no input method to use in the future?
