I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years
Chapter 182 Ability is the key to the outcome
Blanche was wearing a formal dress, and her dress was different from usual, looking more stable and mature.
It lacks the atmosphere of a lot of gloomy girls.
But the melancholy between his brows still lingered.
There was a slight smile on her beautiful face, and it was hard to tell whether her words were praise or derogation.
John walked beside her with a nonchalant expression.
The two came in style.
In front of so many people, Xu Siling had to give Blanche face no matter what.
If it was in private, he would have responded long ago.
"In terms of charm, I can't compare to Princess Blanche. You are a beautiful and intelligent being in the kingdom."
Blanche raised her eyebrows slightly, she had never liked this title.
Mrs. Bonnet could not sense the deep sarcasm in their words at all, and she clapped her hands together with a smile.
"Princess Blanche has arrived just in time. Let's move our position first and talk in another place."
As the real owner of the family, John, he has never had much say in the family except for external affairs.
He loved Madame Bonnet deeply and never interfered with family affairs.
Except for his son who is not very obedient and doesn't like to be taught the spirit of chivalry, everything else is excellent.
A group of people moved to the living room. The space was not small and the decoration was gorgeous. It could be seen that Mrs. Bonnet put a lot of thought into the decoration of the mansion.
According to his status, Xu Siling could not sit down.
The people in the living room were all nobler than him in terms of status.
Not to mention that Fei'er is also here. Privately, they don't distinguish each other, but outside, they must give Fei'er face.
Mayfair sat down on the single sofa.
Xu Siling stood behind her as a matter of course.
Seeing this, Mrs. Bonnet couldn't help but said: "Mr. Siling, please sit down. There is no need to be so formal today, especially when my husband and I invite you here today with a request."
"It's okay, I'm used to standing."
Seeing that Xu Siling was unwilling to sit down, Bonai had no choice but to give up.
Fei'er wanted Xu Siling to sit down, but she was not stupid and knew that the reason why Xu Siling stood was to build momentum for her.
No matter how impressive Xu Siling is, no matter how optimistic John and Bonnet are about Xu Siling, if you want to have a good relationship with him, you must know one thing clearly.
He surrendered to Mayfair.
Fei'er liked Xu Siling's feeling of thinking about everything for her, and she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
But Blanche, who was sitting opposite Mayfair, had a gloomy face showing envy that was not noticed by others.
Except for Charlie, everyone else in the living room was there, including John's other sons.
John's children gathered together, all staring at Xu Siling eagerly.
These children all witnessed Xu Siling's performance in the knight competition with their own eyes.
It can be said that Xu Siling gave these children a little shock of force.
John was a straight-tempered man, so he coughed and said directly.
"Everyone is here, and we are not outsiders. I will say everything I want to say."
Before John could finish speaking, Bonnet's little hand pinched him back.
"Husband, we have just sat down, why are you so anxious?"
"My madam, there are no outsiders here, no need to be polite. Xu and I are good friends, and Charlie is Princess Blanche's nephew."
"That's not what you did."
John immediately spread his hands: "Okay, okay, my distinguished wife, come here."
Seeing the conversation between the couple, Xu Siling couldn't help laughing.
He subconsciously looked at Blanche and found that Blanche was also covering her mouth and smiling.
"I'm very sorry. But my husband is right. You are not outsiders. We all know why you are invited to the mansion. I have no intention of clarifying it so quickly. I am thinking of discussing the matter slowly during the luncheon. "
Blanche didn't care: "Mrs. Bonnet is too kind, we don't need to say anything."
Fei'er spoke instead of Xu Siling: "When I learned about this, I felt honored for my knight."
"In that case, I won't hide it anymore."
John murmured to the side: "In the end, it's better to just say it."
Mrs. Bonnet glared at John and commanded: "You have nothing to do, just go and see if Charlie is ready."
John stood up helplessly and looked at Xu Siling before leaving. The two exchanged friendly glances.
"terribly sorry."
After John left, Mrs. Bonnet felt that she had been disrespectful.
After some polite remarks, she spoke frankly.
"I would like to ask Princess Blanche and Miss Raya's knight, Mr. Spirit, to serve as teachers for my son Charlie."
"I hope Mr. Siling can teach Charlie some knight skills so that he can protect himself. If he can teach him to become an outstanding knight like you, that would be great. But I know that my son Charlie, although he has the skills to protect himself, would be great." "You are smart, but far less talented than Mr. Siling. I just hope you don't blame him too much when he makes mistakes around you. He has been with me since he was a child and has not suffered too much."
"As for Princess Blanche, based on our relationship, I have something to say. Your attainments in culture and art are well-known in the royal family. Other nobles don't know it, but I know it."
"I hope you can take Charlie with you during this period, so that he can experience the influence of culture and art, improve his character, and make him a true gentleman."
To put it simply, Xu Siling is responsible for Charlie's military force, and Blanche is responsible for Charlie's ideological, moral, cultural and artistic aspects.
Xu Siling didn't have any objections. He had some innate unique insights into art, but he was definitely not as deep as Blanche.
But he thought of a question and couldn't help but interrupt.
"Mrs. Bonnet, Mademoiselle Raya and I may not stay in Paris for a long time."
"I know." Mrs. Bonnet said with a smile, "So Miss Raya and Mr. Siling, after the affairs in Paris are settled, Charlie will follow you back to Raya."
Xu Siling raised his eyebrows, does that mean he can beat Charlie's ass for several years?
"I hope Miss Raya won't take it too personally and take my son back to Raya. He may cause you a lot of trouble when he gets to Raya."
Fei'er smiled and shook her head: "Charlie is a very well-behaved child. He will definitely listen to Xu's words, so why would he cause trouble. I just don't know how long, madam, you want Charlie to study with Xu."
"My husband and I have discussed that as long as nothing serious happens, Charlie will stay with Mr. Siling to study until Mr. Siling feels that Charlie is independent enough."
Mrs. Bonnet said this with a slightly reluctant expression.
Xu Siling wondered: "What about Princess Blanche?"
"That's what I'm going to say later." Mrs. Bonnet said immediately, "Miss Raya and Mr. Siling won't stay in Paris for too long, so during this period, we have to trouble Princess Blanche and go to Paris when they are free. Come to the mansion to teach Charlie, or arrange for someone to call Charlie to the palace, no matter the former or the latter. "
Blanche thought about it and replied: "I have to talk to Charlie before we can decide on the course."
"Of course."
Xu Siling smiled and said, "That means I have nothing to do during this period of time."
"If Mr. Siling is free, he can also come to the mansion to provide guidance and supervision. However, his time is limited every day, and he still has to worry about Princess Blanche's lessons."
Xu Siling waved her hand: "I don't mean anything else."
Just kidding, this kind of thing is done by teachers of major cultural courses.
For someone like him who teaches physical education, it is normal for him to be robbed.
"If Princess Blanche and Mr. Siling have no objections, then we will settle the matter."
"I have objections!"
Mrs. Bonnet had just finished speaking.
Eight-year-old Louis I, the second son of the John family, sat on the bench and raised his hands, his young face full of unhappiness.
"Mom, I want to be like my brother! I also want to learn from the Perfect Knight!"
The other two sons raised their hands in unison.
"Mom, I want it too!"
"You can't be so partial. If Charlie has it, we should have it too!"
"What's wrong with you!"
Mrs. Bonnet's expression was solemn, and the little kids on the bench suddenly became silent and shrank their heads.
Louis I looked left and right and decided to bite the bullet: "I also want to learn."
"Every wing is hardened, right?" Mrs. Bonnet's eyes were sharp. "Just like your father, get out!" "Oh."
Louis I seemed to have had a premonition of this outcome. He stood up with his mouth pouted and turned around to leave.
The third son Jean and the fourth son Philip II looked at each other and stood up to leave.
"Since the second brother is gone, let's go out too."
Madame Bonnet was angry when her position of authority in the family was challenged for the first time.
Fortunately, Blanche quickly persuaded and comforted her.
"Don't be angry, Mrs. Bonet. This is all understandable. You must know that the Spirit Knight is the best knight in the kingdom. How can any ambitious boy not want to learn from the Spirit Knight?"
Mayfair echoed: "Think about it, aren't the so many people who surround Count de Bulwa's house every day, all here for Xu? This is true for grown men, not to mention these children, don't you think so, Madam Bonnet? ”
What it means to be a man is all for him.
Xu Silington felt awkward all over his body.
Mrs. Bonnet has a different view than the two of them. She is a mother and knows that these children not only want to learn from Xu Siling, but also have jealousy in their hearts.
But if there are steps, it will naturally roll down.
"It made a few people laugh."
As for the two little girls on the bench.
Of course, they would not leave stupidly like their brothers. Their eyes were wide and shining as they stared at Xu Siling.
Xu Siling thought of something and suggested.
"If nothing happens these days, I can also come to the mansion and teach Madam's children."
Mrs. Bonnet exclaimed: "Is this okay?"
"Of course, it's no big deal, it's just a few days of teaching. Madam, to tell you the truth, I was once a child, and it's normal for them to be a little childish."
Mrs. Bonnet shook her head to herself: "It would be great if that's true."
Then she quickly came back to her senses and said gratefully: "Then please trouble Mr. Siling. You can come in and out of the mansion at will these days. If these children know that you want to teach them, they will definitely be happy!"
"I can't guarantee that I can teach them anything in a few days."
Blanche suddenly interrupted, her tone vaguely strange: "With the ability of the Spirit Knight, a few days are enough to make great changes in the children. I hope you will come often these days, and don't let the children look forward to it in vain. , broke their hearts.”
Blanche: Let me stimulate you. I will make sure you come to John’s house every day. Hey, I’m so smart.
Xu Siling: Damn it, this damn woman dug a hole for me again!
Mayfair's blue eyes narrowed slightly, carefully observing the emotion on Blanche's expression.
While we were having a pleasant conversation in the living room, the door opened with a knock.
Charles, dressed in solemn aristocratic clothing, entered with two gifts in his hands.
John and his other sons rolled in at the same time.
Usually, the process of apprenticeship of nobles in the Middle Ages is very simple and not as complicated as in the East, but there are still things that should be included.
The first step is to make a request for apprenticeship. The person being apprenticed will carefully consider and evaluate the other party's request, including examining the student's personal qualities and motivations.
If the person being apprenticed recognizes and accepts the request, the next step will be entered.
The next step is to confirm the study arrangements. Once the request for apprenticeship is accepted, the noble and the person to be apprenticed will discuss the specific arrangements for the study, including time, place and content.
These matters have been discussed clearly by several people before and have been completed.
Finally, in order to show respect and gratitude, students will send apprenticeship gifts in letters of request or during interviews.
Now Charlie is offering the apprenticeship ceremony to show his respect and obedience.
He very wisely came to kneel down in front of Princess Blanche and sealed the gift he had prepared in advance with his hands.
"Aunt Blanche, you will be my teacher from now on, and I will study and listen carefully."
Blanche was a teacher for the first time and found it very interesting and happy.
Regardless of Philip VI's arrangements, she had always liked this clever little nephew.
He took the gift with a smile, patted his head, and motioned for him to get up.
"Charlie, you have to become a real man, and like your father, learn to protect the weak and save the fate of others."
Charlie said without hesitation: "Yes, teacher!"
Then Charlie came to Xu Siling, also knelt down on one knee and presented his gift.
"Mr. Siling, you will also be my teacher from now on. I will definitely follow you in the future and I will not let you down!"
It can be said that Charlie showed no fault.
He demonstrates a positive attitude toward teaching and mentoring, demonstrating a willingness to learn and humility.
Anyone who looks at it can't help but like this boy.
Including Xu Siling.
Xu Siling coughed slightly and took the gift.
Then he took off the one-handed sword he bought yesterday from his waist and put it on Charlie's hands.
Charlie was stunned, but he didn’t expect that he would also receive a gift.
In the history of the Middle Ages, there was no such thing as a teacher giving a gift to a student.
"For you, Charlie."
Charlie was very happy. He couldn't tell whether the quality of the one-handed sword was good or bad, but he believed it wouldn't be much worse.
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Like Princess Blanche, I also give you a piece of advice."
"Teacher, tell me."
"Saving the fate of others and protecting the weak is not a burden on your shoulders. Don't take it too seriously."
The living room was originally very harmonious, but Xu Siling's words immediately silenced the living room.
Even the clever Charlie had his head pounded by Xu Siling.
what?
Teacher, what are you talking about.
What you said is in deep conflict with what Teacher Blanche said.
Of course, Xu Siling would not miss the opportunity to fight back against Blanche. He glanced at Blanche, who was stunned, expecting her reaction.
"Spirit Knight, what are you talking about? How can you mislead Charlie? He will also be a knight in the future. He must be like his father. He must uphold the spirit of chivalry, protect the weak, and save others. This is an unshirkable responsibility."
Blanche's beautiful face met Xu Siling's eyes and she said unconvinced.
"I didn't say that Charlie couldn't be like his father, it's just that"
"Just nothing."
"Princess Blanche, I want to ask you out of curiosity."
"What's wrong, Spirit Knight?"
"If we see someone drowning, we all know that it is right to act bravely and it is praiseworthy to jump into the water to save others. But what if we don't know how to swim at all?"
Blanche felt that she had stepped into a trap
Especially from the look in Xu Siling's eyes, she was even more convinced.
But she had no choice but to retreat and pursed her lips charmingly.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the correct principle does not guarantee whether the result will be perfect or tragic. The principle can influence the occurrence of something, and the ability of a person is the key to the outcome."
Xu Siling patted Charlie on the head: "So Charlie, if you want to be like your father, protect the weak and save the fate of others, the first thing you have to do is to abandon these thoughts and work hard to improve yourself. Only when you are strong can you protect those around you. People, do you understand?”
At this time, Xu Siling didn't notice that Blanche's face was slowly turning pale like that day in the bookstore.
Principles can influence the occurrence of something, but human ability is the key to the outcome.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence at all.
but
Blanche felt that this sentence was like teaching her a lesson.
Because she is the one who can only talk sense but has no ability.
She knows various truths from books and art.
But because he has no ability, he cannot control his own results.
In other words, this sentence also indirectly proves that Blanche is a useless person.
That's right, she was the one who was wrong.
Blanche, who was extremely emotional, was once again broken by Xu Siling's words. (End of chapter)
