288. Family gatherings
Harsh sunlight shone into the attic through the glass windows covered with ice curtains, creating dappled light and shadows on the white sheets.
I woke up from the dream, felt a little dry in my throat, picked up the glass on the desk next to the bed, and found that the glass was still warm.
I drank a little too much and couldn't remember when I got home last night.
When I got up from the bed, I saw a stack of clothes neatly arranged at the head of the bed.
It was a little cold in the attic in the morning, and I quickly put my sweater on my body.
Hearing a low cheer in the courtyard, I hurriedly ran to the writing desk and knelt on one knee on the chair, supported the writing desk with one hand and stuck my head to the window, I pushed the attic window open, and a cold wind blew in from outside, which made me shiver and clear up a lot, I followed the familiar voice and looked out, Ying Li and Helena, Becky, and Cindy were all standing in the courtyard.
A snowman was rebuilt on the lawn in the yard, and the girls probably cheered for it.
In the blink of an eye, Tracy is married, and it seems that there is something empty in her heart, presumably the same is true for Ryan and Fanny!
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Caterina walked in with a basin of steaming hot water, and said to me, "You drank so much last night that you thought you could sleep a little longer." ”
I patted my stomach and said to Katerina, "I'm a little hungry and want to go downstairs and see what I have to eat." ”
Wiping my face with a warm towel, and seeing Caterina's expression, I tentatively asked, "Oh, by the way, I didn't say anything strange after I got drunk last night, did I?"
Caterina blinked her ruby eyes, she was wearing a linen apricot yellow dress, the cuffs were rolled up high, revealing a snow-white arm, and she smiled at me and said, "You promised Marven to provide him with five hundred sets of copper hot pots, so that he could come to the house this morning to pick them up." ”
“...... I don't remember, did I say anything else?" I tapped my somewhat groggy head lightly, feeling like a storm in the sea of spirits.
Caterina hesitated for a moment, then continued: "You tell Bobby to continue to help you gather the wandering orcs wandering in Sloit Province, if they want to go home, let Bobby fund some travel expenses for the orcs, and let Bobby find a way to find some caravans that pass through El City to the Pai Plateau, and let those orcs follow the caravans of the Pai Plateau through the road to death." ”
I couldn't help but put my forehead against the glass window and say to Katerina, "I actually said such a thing to Bobby?"
Caterina nodded and said, "yes!"
I still vaguely remember chatting with Senior Benjamin for a long time last night, and asked Caterina: "Then what did I promise to Senior Benjamin last night?"
Caterina looked down and thought seriously for a moment before she said, "You promised to help him make a set of magic pattern constructs." ”
I rubbed my forehead vigorously and said, "I have a little impression of this......
From a distance, I saw two large magic caravans carrying goods driving into the alley, and the magic caravan drove all the way to the door of my house, and then I saw Marven jump out of the car and wave at me standing by the attic window, and I had to squeeze out a stiff smile.
"Okay, I'll go to Xinliu Valley and ask someone to move these copper hot pots out, and you can help me stabilize this guy. I rubbed my hands together and said to Katarina.
With a gentle smile on her face, Caterina said to me, "Okay. ”
After saying that, I turned around and walked downstairs, and I stood in the attic, waved at Marven and waved to wait, and then closed the window with a bang.
I opened the portal to Xinliu Valley and asked the orc warriors guarding it to quickly move five hundred copper hot pots from the warehouse of the blacksmith shop in Xinliu Valley.
Soon after, 500 copper hot pots were successfully loaded into the cargo box of the magic caravan, and Marven stood on the magic caravan and waved goodbye to me.
The popular copper hot pot in the imperial capital was promoted by Marven and finally opened up some sales channels in El City, but only some small nobles who had plenty of money would buy it, some of them were curious, and some had relatives in the imperial capital.
In general, the consumption level of El City is much worse than that of the imperial capital, and the civilians of El City can never afford this kind of magic daily necessities that consume magic crystal fragments, the reason why Marven made a special trip to pull away five hundred copper hot pots this time is actually mainly to say goodbye to me, he said that he will not go to the airport to see me off the day after tomorrow, because after a month, Marven will take Si Pei to the imperial capital to find me after dealing with this matter.
Marven accepted my suggestion and agreed to go to the imperial capital to have a good time, and the magic grocery store here found Si Pei's cousin to take care of it.
......
In fact, the snowman that Win Li had rebuilt in the yard with Helena, Becky, and Cindy had only been around for a morning, and was very unfortunate enough to be pushed again by the three bear children of Aunt Basha's house, and the children learned the knights of the Knights of the Guard Camp to charge, and attacked the snowman in turn, and succeeded in turning the snowman into an abandoned snowdrift.
Ying Li stood on the terrace, looking at the pile of snow very speechlessly, and looked at me angrily.
I reached out and pinched Ying Li's face, and said to her affectionately, "What kind of snowman do you want, I'll help you conjure it up." ”
As I spoke, my fingers drew a faint magic pattern circle in the air, and as the spell in my mouth ended, the trampled snow in the courtyard kept rising in front of the three children like a gushing spring, and in front of the three bear children, it was reshaped into a snowman.
The three bear children widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them, their legs a little disobedient.
The snowman looked more like a heavy infantry warrior carved out of snow, holding the handle used to sweep the yard in his hand, his knees slightly bent, and the handle pointed at the three bear children and walked towards them step by step.
With sticks in their hands, the three bear children watched the snowman rush towards them, and they were so frightened that they screamed and ran around the yard.
Hearing the cries of the bear children, Fanny and Aunt Barsha ran out of the house one after the other, followed by the young wife of the second cousin and the cousin of Aunt Barsha's house, and they gathered the frightened little children together and pulled them into the house while asking what was going on.
The children explain the battle they had with the snowman in a wordless way, saying that the snowman warrior they had defeated had actually come back to life, Yunyun.
Aunt Barsha and Fanny were also confused, and by this time, the snowman had already returned to his place, standing quietly in the courtyard.
"Hmph, boring!" Ying Li twisted his head away, his long soft black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and turned to leave.
......
Aunt Barsha's family made a special trip from Ravenham City to attend Tracy's wedding, so Ryan and Fanny decided to feast Aunt Barsha's family again at home in the evening, and in the evening, Tracy and Alent would also come to feast for Aunt Barsha's family.
The last time Aunt Basha's family came to El was six years ago......
Six years isn't too long, but Ryan and Fanny's lives have changed a lot. First of all, new members were added to the family, Nancy and Cindy, I became a magician during this time, Tracy married Arendt, and all of this seemed to be a little incomprehensible to Aunt Basha's family.
They didn't even realize what it meant to have a magician in a civilian family.
Uncle Horace sat in the living room chatting with Ryant, his eyes no longer narrowing in a line.
Maybe it's because of his status as a knight chief that his sitting posture is always so straight.
When he spoke to Rryant, his arrogant tone had subsided slightly, and he no longer pointed his nostrils at Rryant, and he could even squeeze out a stiff smile on his face, which did not make people feel very comfortable on his wrinkled face.
Prior to this, Uncle Horace had always looked down on Aunt Basha's own brother, and he felt that Rryant's character was a little cowardly, although he had superb Western rapier sword skills, he did not join the Order as a knight, but became an instructor in the Warrior Academy, which did not conform to Horace's knightly standards.
"In any case, Arendt's child came from an aristocratic family, and it seems that the family is also very good, although the girls from the commoner families will inevitably be looked down upon by those noble relatives when they join the aristocratic family, but Tracy finally has a good home. Uncle Horace said to Lyant.
In fact, Aunt Basha's marriage to Uncle Horace can be regarded as a girl from a civilian family who married into a noble family, Uncle Horace's words inevitably covered Aunt Basha, and Aunt Basha, who was sitting on the side, slashed Uncle Horace with her eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Horace, what do you mean by this? What happened to the girl from a civilian family? Didn't the girl from a civilian family give birth to five children for you?"
Uncle Horace waved his hand at Aunt Basha, told her to stop, frowned and said: "Don't be unreasonable, okay, I'm not talking about you, I just want to express my opinion, I just asked Ryan and Fanny to persuade Tracy, Tracy's personality is a little impatient, and he should usually pay attention to restraint, after all, he is married to a noble family, and he should always be careful not to be looked down upon by his relatives over there, and he should also have some plans for his future life." ”
Aunt Basha muttered quietly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with Tracy's character!"
Leant and Fanny looked at each other, and Leant knew that he should not continue on the topic, after all, there was a conflict between commoners and nobles, and Fanny set her eyes on Aunt Basha's youngest son, Gabriel, a cheap cousin who was four years older than me, who had only completed his military service this fall, and who was now a knight in the Knights of the Guard Battalion in Ravenham.
"Gabry, do you have any plans after the end of your military service?" asked Ryant to Aunt Basha's youngest son.
Gabri, with soft yellow hair, a straight nose and a very delicate contoured face, was watching Cindy busy in the kitchen in a daze, not noticing that he had become the center of attention in the living room.
Aunt Basha, who was sitting on the side, secretly poked Gabri and whispered to him, "Your uncle is asking you!"
"Ahh
In fact, I found out that this cheap cousin had just had a kind of aristocratic arrogance towards me before.
Except for the time when he spat on me, which made me think that he lacked some education, many of his performances were quite gentlemanly.
I think his previous attitude towards me was also very much the attitude of the aristocracy to the commoners.
Ryan repeated the question just now, Gabby blushed slightly, looked at Horace cautiously, and then said to Ryant: "Actually, I would like to be able to join the adventure group and travel outside, but Horace thinks it is a waste of time, so I am currently working as a patrolman in the Knights of Ravenham......"
Cindy walked over in a long home dress with an apron tied in front of her chest and a plate of sweet cookies, and Gabry's eyes were drawn to Cindy again.
Aunt Basha looked up at Cindy and said softly to Cindy, "Cindy, you can also come and sit down and talk to us!"
Cindy stroked her long hair loose around her ears and glanced at me secretly, hoping I could give her a hint.
I glanced at Cousin Gabri, and Cindy saw my eyes, her face darkened slightly, and instead of being next to Aunt Basha, she sat obediently next to Lyant, and it seemed that Cindy had no feelings for this delicate-looking cousin Gabri.
Aunt Barsha naturally saw all this, and she said to Ryant: "If you want me to see it, Tracy has many choices, and marrying into a noble family can at least have a life of food and clothing, which is no happier than marrying the son of some blacksmith or a young tansmith!"
As they spoke, Tracy and Arendt pushed the door open from the outside and walked in.
Tracy stood in the doorway and looked into the living room and asked, "What are you talking about about me?"
"I mean, you're going to be happy in the future!" Aunt Basha looked at her niece with a smile in her eyes.
Aunt Barsha had never looked at me and Cindy with such a kind look.
Tracy gently raised the corners of her mouth and walked in, huddled together with Cindy, and sat down on the couch.
The living room was full of people on the couch, and I stood up to meet Arendt, led him to the bar bar, sat with him on the bar high chair, pointed to the golden cider in the wine cabinet, and asked him if he wanted a drink.
Arendt looked at me gratefully and said, "Jijia, thank you for that box of gifts, the gifts are a little too expensive......"
