Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

() I'm a little nervous... The attendant retreating on one side is like a door, slowly showing me the mysterious things hidden behind the door, um, treasure?wealth?treasure?It seems to have all of them, but is it more considerate to describe it as a stunner?

The smiling woman in front of me is indeed more appropriate to use the above adjectives.

Because when I saw her for the first time, the first thing that caught my attention was her pair of charming eyes. At first glance, I thought she was winking at me. After that, my Only then did he move away from those eyes and see her face.

She looks younger than the age told by Dad Cheap, and the outline of her soft face is almost perfect in the evaluation given by my picky aesthetics of modern people who have experienced the bombardment of information in the 21st century.The only shortcoming is that this stunning face is a standard little secret face, with seductive brows like a vixen, and when the eyes turn, all kinds of styles are natural.

She is probably also aware of her own features, so all her attire is centered around this feature.

A women's silk triangular hat, several slender bird feathers extending from the top of the hat like a lady stretching her waist are expensive birthday band bird tail feathers, the trim is connected by silk thread, and a large piece of corset is underneath. The snow-white skin and slender waist are supported by the clothes, and a dark-colored silk satin pleated skirt is decorated with deep purple and gold-rimmed purple violets.

The whole thing is very dignified, and the price is very expensive. To put it bluntly, this woman wore a Mercedes-Benz, and at least two or three thousand soridos.I guess today is the day to serve the sacrament and meet me, so she chose a more serious and dignified dress.But even so, the lethality is still very serious, not to mention the plump red lips, and the mole on the corner of the eye is just the finishing touch. The best proof.And she didn't care at all, she was completely used to the eyes of men...

"Master, this is the wife of the Leonidas family." The attendant introduced me.

"Ma'am you can call me Nikephoros .. or just Nikis for short."

It seems that my judgment is not wrong, and things have really developed in the direction I speculated.Well it's all in clear though.My cheap daddy is sending a signal.

A signal to tell everyone that Alexander is his heir.What better way to remind others of this message than a rich marriage partner who is not considered noble in birth or status, and has no prominent family support behind him?What better way to appease my son who is likely to have negative emotions after learning the news than a desperation?

As for why I don't like her, I think she must be a difficult woman, and what's more... This woman should have a rough private life.

I smiled slightly, and waved my hand, indicating that we can go to the edge of the bench and sit down first.This move made the woman seem a little overwhelmed. She hesitated for a few seconds before following me with her small handbag.This is normal, according to the rules, if I offer my palm, she has to kiss the ring on my hand, and if I don't show it, she has to bow and bow.I hope my kindness is not so restrained.

As soon as I sat down on the bench in the front row, the big beauty also sat down, and a fragrant smell filled my nose instantly.Very fresh smell, it is a white rose perfume that rarely appears.This surprised me a bit, I thought that someone dressed like her would use an overly sweet or even cloying rose perfume.

The attendants took their seats next to us one after another.

Only before God, these servants can sit on an equal footing with their masters.

But even so, my attendants were deliberately separated by half an arm's distance.

"Ma'am, are you a little nervous?" Noticing that the big beauty was a little unnatural, or restrained, and looking at the gap when she turned her head and had no time to say a word, I said, "I am also the same. After all, since I was young, I still I've never been this close to a woman."

Spicy next door, I said the wrong thing, I was nervous, of course I was nervous, Nima, I was the one who was nervous... It was completely self-defeating... I have already shown my defeat just now!

"It's my great honor." The big beauty smiled and winked again.

"What does Madam think the life of a prince's son is like?" I didn't lie to her, because there is a perverted old man in the family, and the servants in the palace are all rough men.However, why should I say this? She won't be interested in my eating and drinking. What an interesting topic... Where is the interesting topic?Who can help... Where are the reinforcements?Oh my god, I really echoed that old saying, when the book is used up, you will hate less... When you hook up with a girl, you find that you have never hooked up before, and now you don’t know how to hook up.

She carefully observed that my expression didn't look like I was joking, and then she showed a slightly astonished expression: "This is really a bit unexpected."

Look, what a diplomatic answer... Well, I give up, I can do whatever I want, there is nothing I can do.

Sure enough, after a few simple conversations, Wendir found out my deepness, and then she let go of her embarrassment and restraint. The soft conversation between the two of us didn't last long, and the bishop standing on the podium began to speak. Today's sacrament of service.

I sat in a chair and wandered for hours and finally waited for the time to pay.

Monks with trays passed our row, and I felt in my pocket and pulled out a silver dinar.Then it was placed on the plate under the astonished eyes of the church deacon.I turned my head and saw Wendir also had a surprised expression, with surprise and confusion in his eyes, but no disgust.

According to the unwritten rules, the rich people sitting in the front row usually donate precious gold such as gold coins. Those who are big can wait until after the mass to go to the deacon of the church to tell the amount, let the other party remember it, and send someone Send it again.If the number is large enough to feed the bishop's appetite, he can also get the bishop's blessing and friendship.

The ugly-faced church deacon twitched his cheeks, and turned his head away, his eyes were suddenly dazed, and what caught his eyes was a large snow-white chest.Wendir took out three gold coins from the small handbag, smiled charmingly and put the money on the wooden tray with a crisp sound. The deacon holding the tray seemed to be seriously delayed, and reluctantly left after several seconds.

After the service of the sacrament, Wendell and I stood in the aisle in the middle of the cathedral, and she told me to wait.I looked over suspiciously, only to hear her eyes sparkle and chuckled, "I can't just donate three gold coins to the bishop at St. Irina's Cathedral, what about Your Highness?"

"I'm a poor man." I had already given up the idea of ​​striving for a good performance in front of her, and with a business-like mentality, I just did what I had to do...

"So you only donated one silver coin to the church?" The smiling woman blinked playfully like a little girl, her eyes are pure and beautiful, her exposed teeth are white, and she has red lips, which is amazing, "I But remember the Bible says that giving is part of our income, and that part is tithes."

I smiled irrefutably. You must know that a silver dinar just now is also money. In terms of living standards, although you can’t buy too many things, you can still get a grateful thank you if you send it to beggars. of.

Standing aside and waiting for Wendir, the widow of the Leonidas family should have given a lot to the Bishop of St. Irina Cathedral. The majesty due to the bishop actually proposed to keep her down for dinner. After learning that she had no time, the bishop of St. Irina Cathedral took the initiative to send the two of us out of the gate of the cathedral.

"Okay. Where should we go next?" Wendil and I stood at the door of the cathedral and waited for our groom to drive the carriage over.

While I was thinking about it, she quickly made a suggestion: "Go to the outer port area beyond the Perama Gate, there is a very good restaurant there."

"Okay." I noticed that when I approved of her proposal, she had a clear look of relief on her face.

She is afraid.

A 25-year-old woman is actually afraid of a minor?It's kind of ridiculous, but that's how it is.This is the superiority caused by the difference in status and status. Even though this woman named Wendir can easily handle men of all ages, she has never faced Prince Theofano's son, even though I am still underage. people.

However, these are not the main reasons why she is afraid of me.

After getting into the carriage, we started the theme of today's meeting.

Blind date?

No kidding, I'm afraid Wendell will roll her eyes and faint if I say that the hidden purpose behind everything the Theofano family is doing now is to marry her.So my cheap daddy put a heavy fig leaf on my long-term relationship with her, talking about business.

Well, that's really why the pretty widow of the Leonidas family is afraid.Think about it, on a sleepy morning on a certain day, you who are quite wealthy suddenly learn that the world police and the world's largest arms supplier have sent someone to tell you that he wants to cooperate with you to do a business, you What would be your first thought?I guess it's definitely not a surprise anyway.
