20. Things like urging marriage (3k)

Langdon certainly didn't dare to let someone who didn't understand anything directly take over government affairs.

However, due to the recent reform of the accounting method, there are too few people available under his command, so he intends to let Shatia assign financial matters to Lei Shidong and Flora.

For normal aristocrats, finances are the part that they dare not let others take over directly, but Langdon is different.

He grasped the mentality of these two people and made sure that they would not play tricks, but would do their best to help him.

As for whether he would be hated if he said that he would not be paid... In fact, it was all a joke.

Flora wanted to compensate Langdon wholeheartedly. Even if Langdon wanted to give it, she felt that it was a separation, so it was impossible to ask for a salary.

Lei Shidong also doesn't ask for salary. The benefits he can get from Langdon as a relative are much higher than the fixed and cold salary. Once he asks for salary, it will change.

If it is in modern times, it must be no matter what kind of relatives you have, and brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

But in another world, Lei Shidong and Langdon are a real family. He is sure that if he really needs something, his uncle will not buy it for him, so he can be a labor force with confidence.

...And the uncle was so kind to him, and he kept cheating on him. Lei Shidong could only work hard to get rid of his guilty conscience.

Fortunately, the modern accounting method may be a little difficult for people in this world, but it is easy for Lei Shidong to understand, so the work efficiency is very fast.

Flora was panicked.

How, how could this happen?

Originally, she always felt that Lei Shidong was useless, failed the exam, took risks and fought hard even with the lowest level of monsters, but in the end, this kind of person suddenly behaved so well where she wanted to perform well?

If this continues, won't her work be completely inconspicuous?

How would she get Langdon to notice her contribution?

There is no other way, Flora can only work harder than Lei Shidong.

Originally, Shalltear was a little worried that there would be problems if these two laymen, Langdonse, came over.

But she took the time to check the work of the two people, and was shocked to find that the two people who joined halfway did better than her, who Langdon had personally attended the class!

It is efficient and there is nothing wrong with it. You can check it more than others in the same time!Roll up and fly!

"No, it's indeed Langdon! He has a good eye for people! Even the saintess and classmates who have never been in contact with this kind of work can make good use of them and put them in the right place..."

Shalltear selectively ignored the fact that Langdon always had problems seeing women—at least within the scope of work, Langdon didn't miss the beating workers he saw.

When everyone is busy with work, the only person who is not busy will look very out of place.

It was Bellatrix.

Ever since she failed to arrange a breakfast, Langdon had given up all hope in her, letting her play however she liked and leave him alone.

Langdon now checks in every day to tell Bellatrix a story, stabilize his own value, and keep Bellatrix in a state where she can look forward to something every day, so as not to be too boring and make trouble.

But I have to say that Langdon's current state, in the eyes of those who don't know it, is quite subtle.

The butler stopped talking for a few days, Langdon was tired from watching, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"What do you want to ask, just say it."

The butler hesitated for a moment, feeling that the opportunity was too late, so he said it bluntly: "Your Excellency, which daughter do you prefer?"

Langdon, who was still immersed in his work just now, looked at him blankly: "What? Who?"

Compared to Langdon's complete absence, Shalltear, who just entered the door and planned to report to work, instantly perked up her ears, understanding what the butler was asking.

The butler was asking who Langdon liked!

Alas, it's so normal, and so is her deacon.

These older subordinates, because they watched the little master grow up, it is inevitable that they will give birth to a family affection beyond the subordinate's duty, and they will worry too much about the life of the little master just like worrying about their own children and grandchildren.

For the irresponsible father who replaced him when he was young, and the mother who seemed to be in poor health, and the housekeeper who cared about his life, Langdon really didn't mind him asking such questions beyond the rules.

Therefore, after understanding what the other party was asking, Langdon replied with some helplessness: "I don't think there is any need to think about this kind of thing in such a hurry... My situation is different from what you think."

The butler frowned slightly: "Duke, everyone else at your age is already engaged."

The other people, of course, refer to other noble boys of the same age. As for the common people, let alone engaged, there are also married ones.

Marriages of the nobles are always considered a little more because of some interests, so they start early and preemptively settle the promising ones, or they procrastinate because they are not worried about marrying or waiting for a price. normal phenomenon.

But Langdon was a little awkward in this situation.

The mother who should be most concerned about this issue died early, and the father was irresponsible, and his social interaction was close to zero, let alone discussing marriage with old friends. It's just an unmarried girl, no matter from which point of view, Helena shouldn't be the one to consider this issue.

Not to mention that Helena is no longer qualified to take care of Langdon's affairs anymore. Langdon has to find a wife for himself, which makes the housekeeper a little worried.

The butler thought the princess was pretty good. The princess was an elf mage, and she was able to chase Langdon to the Duchy of Stuart. No matter how you looked at it, she had deep feelings for her—and Langdon just left her alone and devoted himself to work.

The butler felt that Flora was actually pretty good.

Langdon has never been the one to report to Langdon, and Langdon has never confessed his private affairs, so the situation in the imperial capital has not yet been reported to the Principality.

Because of this, this butler who has been staying in the Principality is different from the old butler who originally served Langdon's mother and later went to help Helena, and is now arranged by Langdon in the imperial capital. The Flora in his memory is still well-behaved. Cute, the little girl who runs after Langdon all day long, so Flora also wears some filters.

In the past, Flora was the nurse's daughter, and her status was not enough.

Now that everyone is a saint and is eligible to enter, the housekeeper will naturally not prevent Flora from getting close to Langdon.

As a result, Flora came, and Langdon left him alone and continued to work.

The housekeeper was a little worried.

Unlike his parents, the little duke is a very responsible person, which is actually a good thing.

But the eyes are only full of work, and I don't understand the style at all. If this continues, the noble girls of the right age will get married!

He wasn't worried that Langdon couldn't find a wife. After all, with his status and status, he couldn't possibly be alone for the rest of his life. But with such a suitable candidate by his side, there was no need to look far away, right? !

Princesses and saints are very popular!

If you gather people to your side like this, but don't make a quick decision on which one to marry, you will be hated by the thoughtful nobles in your family!

Obviously, he had vaguely heard that the little duke had a quite romantic reputation in the imperial capital. He was very relieved at the time, thinking that he would soon see the little duke get married, but now that he saw it, it was completely different?

It's better to be really romantic!Is there any problem with aristocratic men being a little bit coquettish? ?No!It's better than not getting married! ?

Faintly feeling the atmosphere of urging the marriage, a drop of cold sweat rolled down the back of Langdon's head.

It never occurred to him that his parents were dead, and he could still be urged to marry.

"I don't think there's any need to rush this kind of thing..."

In a few years, the demons will invade. At this time, marry a p.

But this kind of thing must not be told to the housekeeper. After all, even the appearance of the Son of Prophecy has been kept from the public, and it will cause panic.

As for when to talk about it again, Langdon knew in his mind, anyway, it wasn't now.

The housekeeper sighed: "Duke, this matter is really urgent and cannot be delayed. Girls can't wait... Maybe you think I'm not suitable for discussing this topic. You can discuss it with Assistant Officer Valery."

Shalltear kept silent on this topic because she had ghosts in her heart, and was taken aback by the sudden name call: "Me, me?"

"Yes, Mr. Valery, as an assistant officer, should actually help the lord to advise on marriage matters. After all, this is not a family issue, but affects the future of our Duchy of Stuart."

The steward said worriedly: "Even if no heir has been born, just getting married or getting engaged first is a big event worth celebrating for the Principality, and it can also stabilize people's hearts. The Duke is still too young..."

Shalltear listened to the butler's rambling about how important Langdon's marriage was, and secretly hugged the documents in her arms even tighter.

In the eyes of the housekeeper, with her status, she probably wasn't worthy of Langdon.

Yet, she just couldn't help liking Langdon.

It was the first time that she was so moved by someone in such a big age.

Being in love isn't all good.

She will worry about gains and losses, and when she sees Langdon getting close to other women, her heart will also be filled with sourness and pain, and sometimes she even thinks wildly as if she has been robbed of her reason.

But none of this stopped her from continuing to like Langdon.

Even if she couldn't marry Langdon as she wished after hard work, as long as Langdon still needed her, Shalltear would be willing if she could stay by Langdon's side as an assistant officer.

But only, only let her help refer to who Langdon should marry...

Shalltear really couldn't do it.

Don't you think it's too cruel to let yourself, who has a crush on Langdon, do such a thing?

Even if she felt that she had little hope, she couldn't smile and push the person she liked into the arms of other women.

"I... I'm probably not suitable." Shalltear made an excuse in a low voice, "I'm single, and I don't know much about it... You should do it."

The butler looked at the two single young men and was very worried: "If you want me to say it, I actually think Her Royal Highness is very suitable..."

Bellatrix's hand knocking on the door stopped in mid-air.

21. Undercurrent Surging Shura Field (4k)

The door was knocked.

Langdon guessed that it was the person who came to report to work. He thought he could finally get rid of this strange topic, so he called in without waiting to ask who it was.

However, the door was gently pushed open, and the one who walked in from the outside was the blonde princess mentioned by the butler just now.

She took a few steps forward with some hesitation.

The gorgeous feather folding fan was unfolded, held in Bellatrice's slender and fair hands, with her backhand covering half of her overly beautiful face, only revealing a pair of moist golden eyes, shyly and timidly from the fan. Looking up to Langdon.

"Sorry... Did I come at the wrong time?"

Bellatrix blushed slightly, her eyes dodged, and her voice was different from usual, as if she was a little nervous.

Langdon stared blankly at the playful princess, feeling like his hairs were about to explode.

Why is this guy acting up all of a sudden! ! !

It must have been heard outside, on purpose, right? !

But he had already seen through Bellatrix's true colors, and he didn't like this at all... So who is this acting for?

Langdon was puzzled.

As Langdon had guessed, Bellatrix was indeed acting.

With Bellatrix's hearing, in fact, no matter how soundproof the study is, she can still hear about the same when she walks a similar distance.

From the moment the steward talked about the importance of Langdon's marriage and the assistant officer's concern, Bellatris could smell the melon and became energetic.

Others don't know that Assistant Officer Shire is a girl, how can she not know?

The first time they met, her elf eyes saw through Shalltear's disguise, and now she even knew that Shalltear had a crush on Langdon!

So when the butler who didn't know said such things in front of Shalltear and mentioned her own name, Bellatris immediately felt that if she didn't get involved, it would be a waste of these rare days. Interesting opportunity!

So Bellatrix showed her acting skills on the spot that she could even fool her own father, adjusted her expression and demeanor outside the door, and then knocked on the door.

So, who does she want to play for?

Langdon's mouth twitched and couldn't bear to look straight at it. It could be seen that he already knew she was acting. To be honest, it was quite interesting, but Bellatrix's focus was not on Langdon.

While the butler saluted her, the old man couldn't help showing a gratified smile. It was obvious that Bellatrix's performance had entered into the butler's heart, making the butler even more convinced that the princess liked his little duke.

If Bellatris needs the cooperation of the butler in order to surprise Langdon in the future, I believe that as long as she doesn't go too far, the butler will try her best to cooperate.

But the housekeeper is not Bellatris' real goal, it can only be said incidentally.

That's right, Bellatrix's real object is actually Shalltear.

She knew that Shalltear liked Langdon, and she was a little awkward because of the seemingly intimate relationship between her and Langdon.

But I don't know what Langdon did. Recently, Shalltear seemed to have calmed down suddenly, which made Bellatris feel a little boring.

If she had other things to do, Bellatrix wouldn't be able to focus on this kind of thing.

It was a pity that Langdon still kept Bellatrix too busy.
