Section 6 Nobles (Part 1)
The breakfast and dinner at Sallyeri Manor are usually all present, but today is obviously an exception. When Carme Sallyeri sat at the dining table, he found that there were 8 empty seats for 12 people, including a giant python that poked his head out of the table and vomited a letter. She threw a puzzled look at her sister-in-law Sonia: "Where have the boys gone?" Today it was Sonia who was responsible for making breakfast.
"Oh, they went out to hunt early in the morning, because it was still early, and Xude and Alex, Vivi didn't want to wake you up, so I asked me to say something to you." Sonia smiled and patted the python's head: "I brought them freshly baked bread and tomatoes, and they would solve the lunch outside." Seeing Carme's a little worried, she added: "Oh, don't worry, they haven't walked very far, they are in the woods and swamps over there."
"I'm not worried about that." Carme poured a little grape juice for her husband, "I'm just thinking that Mr. De Lambard is really not good at being. No matter what, he lay on the sofa yesterday for half an hour before he could get back to his room."
"Because then he won't stagger or hit the wall or something." Tang He Sai said, frowning and drinking some grape juice. Because of the Alex incident, he had to accommodate his wife in many places to get her forgiveness. Although everyone knows Tang. Jose is nothing wrong with this matter, but as a man who has made his wife spend fifty years in fear, if he can make his loved ones happy, then it is not unacceptable to make concessions in small places such as grape juice. "It is shameful to a nobleman to faint in the rose garden.
It was a matter of fact, and of course he was unwilling to walk back to the room staggeringly, making everyone think he was a weak coward." The old man shrugged: "Almost all the old nobles are stubborn, even if they enter the grave, they will climb out to see if their tombstone is correct and whether the inscription is meaningful enough. But this child is not annoying," he smiled sly and pointed to the largest wall of the restaurant: "He took almost every one of them, and the final shotgun he took was not the best or the lightest, but I can guarantee that he must be the one who felt that the center of gravity of the gun was the most suitable."
The hard choice is clear. The Western Sardinians like to hunt on foot, hunt wild ducks, geese, rabbits, gray wolf... rather than noble hunting. There are guides and real hunters in front of them. A group of masters rode horses, carried dozens of dogs, and guns to chase a little fox. The women were riding in exquisite carriages, holding telescopes, and followed them all the way with servants huddled in large carriages to serve their masters at any time. The Western Sardinians thought this was really stupid. Farming family members hunted wild game from swamps and woods as if they were harvesting grains in crop fields. They prefer to put short guns on their waists, daggers in their boots, and a pump gun on their backs. From morning to night, they brought a few birds or rabbits that were fat enough to give their family meals.
The proposal for hunting was proposed by Xude, and Vivi and Yalix agreed, and Feili had no choice but to discuss it. In the morning, he took an armored off-road vehicle to the edge of Salieri Manor, which was sparse forests, swamps, and small plains. Every year, the small lakes scattered in late autumn are filled with geese and wild ducks flying from the Duchy of Dongca. They are divided into two groups, Xude and Feili, and Vivi and Yalix, about 150 feet apart.
If Fei Li and Wei Wei were asked to be together, Xu De would not worry that his younger brother would use Fei Li's back as the back of the geese to shoot him. But Wei Wei, who was interested, would probably lose the guest in the process of chasing the prey. After all, his speed is comparable to that of a galloping horse. Xu De doesn't want the guide recommended by the Queen to become a missing person in his territory. Moreover, he and Fei Li want to talk about something. In the fresh air and vast wilderness, they are looking for prey while lazily speaking, obviously it is easier to sit upright in the closed office or study room. But it may also make people feel more likely to have the idea of killing people and abandoning corpses, especially when you are surrounded by waist-high weeds and holding a hunting rifle with ammunition in your hand.
They were lucky today. The gunshots from afar shocked a group of very hidden wild ducks. When they thought they were alert, they met two other evil stars.
Just as the first wild duck appeared in the sky, Xude knocked it down, and the unfortunate pioneer shrank into a ball and fell into the grass. He tried his best to aim at another victim who was flying towards them in a low voice. As soon as the gunshot sounded, this one fell down.
After picking up their prey, they walked silently for a while. When they arrived at a slightly raised hill, they struggled to say, "Why don't you want to accept the Queen's enthronement?"
The overly straightforward question surprised Sallyieri's eldest son.
"Ah, don't be surprised. Mr. Xude." said Feli with a smile: "Maybe the Western Sardinians always feel that we Eastern Sardinians always turn and are sarcastic when speaking. It is because the conversational people are too unreliable or prefer to be pretentious, which makes us do this." He stopped and pointed the gun muzzle towards the ground, "If we are facing an honest and reliable person, we can also speak simply." He looked at Xude's eyes and said sincerely: "So, I'm so arrogant to ask you, why don't you accept the Queen's enthronement?"
Another identity of the trip was the Queen's envoy. He brought a message to the Queen. If possible, the Queen hoped that the eldest son of the Salix family could accompany Alex to the capital of Sardinia. After the Queen appointed Alexander as the crown prince, she would also enthrone Xude as hereditary viscount, as the reward for raising Alexander in the past twenty-eight years.
"The Sallyrieli family does not need this." Xude replied calmly: "Alix may not use the Sallyrieli family again after this, but this does not mean that the Sallyrieli family has nothing to do with it - on the contrary, our connection will be closer - no title, title, blood, family tree, etc. The only thing that proves that we are family is only each other's emotions. When Alix still loves us - whether he is a king or something, for us, we are all sons, brothers and nephews, and members of the Sallyrieli family. What's more," Xude added: "You have to admit that in some ways, family members seem to have a better reputation than nobles, especially in Western Sardinia. If the Queen's canonization just wants the Sallyrieli family to be the help of the future king, there is no absolute better than there is."
"Maybe the fact is what you said." Fei Li also expressed his approval calmly: "But I have some other opinions - Mr. Xude, the Salieri family does have a good foundation and future in Western Sardinia, but it always has a fatal weakness, that is, the lack of an official official position. You may be able to bleach the family's business in ten years, but such achievements will not even give you the opportunity to be voted and voted - you can't even enter the House of Commons, and the more legal it is, the more you are on the surface, the more you will be curbed and oppressed by those in power... This kind of thing is very likely to happen, and at that time, what can you do? It will hinder your development.
The person stuffed into cement? This can deal with small drug dealers, but it must not be used to deal with a mayor or minister unless you are willing to be devastating to your family by the power of the state - I think that Tang Hesai should see this clearly, and the queen can see it clearly - well, you said, no matter what his identity is, he is a member of the Salieri family, so do you think he will stand by or use the power of the crown prince to protect you? His enemies and even his allies will revel in this - now, they just need to hold the crown prince's heel (the metaphor for Achilles' heel, which refers to a fatal weakness and key), and do whatever they want..."
Peng!
The unique roar of the shotgun was buzzing with all his ears. The strong smell of gunpowder made him want to sneeze. At the moment just now, he closed his mouth almost instinctively.
Xude's hunting rifle was originally aimed at the ground like him, and he was on the safe side, but he couldn't see clearly when Xude raised the gun. The black muzzle was almost in a straight line with his head, and the distance was close that made him feel the heat of the barrel.
"A pheasant." Xude said, walking past him.
