Chapter 42 - marriage
The spring blooming in May.
A sunny day.
Grand Collar Castle held a grand wedding.
Baron Downey, dressed in a court tuxedo under the auspices of the monk Robert of Saint Marne Abbey, walked through the arch with Alice wearing a garland, wearing a low-cut dress, and embellished with many bright flowers and gorgeous dresses The door, in the blessing of the guests, formed a couple.
Zhou Ming sincerely wishes her sister Alice, hoping that she can live a beautiful and happy life, and hopes that her brother-in-law Donnie will live up to his most beloved sister and do not care about her civilian status.
Yes, Alice’s civilian status is almost the biggest obstacle to her legal marriage with Downey.
Because noble barons like Downey are almost impossible to marry civilians. Even if they marry, if the nobles of other territories do not recognize, the children born to this civilian woman, their territories and the title inheritance rights will also suffer To question, it may even be forcibly deprived by the upper class nobility.
That is to say, even if Donny Ming is marrying Alice, if he is not recognized by the surrounding lords and Count Lautz, the descendants of Alice and Downey may not have the inheritance rights of the Grand Collar.
In this world, only nobles and descendants of nobles can be a noble.
Of course, Zhou Ming would not allow this to happen. He made people take a lot of money and went to the activity of Earl of Barme, a certain distance away from the Grand, to prepare for Alice from a baron who was relatively short of money. Silk “purchased” an aristocratic identity, as long as the baron declared that Alice was his biological daughter, and the remuneration of five thousand gold coins belonged to him.
Soon, there was such a fortune-telling baron who took the five thousand gold coins, fabricated an identity certificate for Alice, and sent a housekeeper to attend the wedding.
Looking at the bright and moving wife in front of him, Downey is also very satisfied. As if he has reached the peak of life, he has all the money, status, and beauty. What regrets does he have?
Now, what he wants to do most is to hurry into the cave and have a few babies.
Alice’s marriage was over. Soon, Zhou Ming also married a woman and formed a family.
This woman’s name is “Anna”. She is the eldest daughter of the town’s bakery owner Defoe. At the age of 18, she is playing with Zhou Ming from childhood to big childhood.
Anna looks average, but gentle and considerate, good at housekeeping, and full-bodied, easy to grow up, Zhou Ming recognized this goal very early, decided to marry his wife in the future, marry Anna!
Therefore, often by taking the opportunity to go to the bakery to bake bread, Zhou Ming taught Anna to make some exquisite pastries, and together developed a delicious cake. During this ear-grinding process, Anna gradually also produced Zhou Ming. I like it, I have the idea of being with me.
But this idea was immediately beaten by the boss of Anna ’s father, Defoe, and firmly opposed her and Zhou Ming together! Claiming never to let her daughter marry an ordinary farmer!
As his bakery owner, his daughter must at least marry a character who is a servant leader in the castle, a farmer like Zhou Ming, who will not consider it at all.
From the standpoint of a father, Zhou Ming can easily understand the concept of marrying a girl by the boss of Defoe. When he plays the picture of “Zhang Ergou”, he will give her any time when his daughter wants to marry Choose a husband whose family conditions are okay. If the family conditions are not good, then look at people. If people are not good, then no matter how much his daughter likes the man, he will beat the mandarin ducks and forcibly break up.
Therefore, Zhou Ming had to do everything possible to climb up, not to mention how high he had to climb, at least to the height that Defoe boss looked at, so that he could marry Anna.
However, there were unexpected circumstances and so many things happened some time ago. Zhou Ming had no intention of thinking about his lifelong events. Until that day, Anna ran over with red eyes and told him that she was engaged, and her fiance was the housekeeper, Bronde. One of his nephews, now a little servant chief in the castle, asked him what to do?
What else can Zhou Ming do? Is it impossible to take her away and fly high?
Fortunately, Baron Connor was seriously injured and ill in bed. At this juncture, no servant in the castle dared to go back to do a happy event at this time. It was not until Zhou Ming brought the group of thieves into the castle and controlled the situation in the castle. Arrived at Anna’s so-called fiance.
Is more than ten years older than Anna, with a shriveled and ugly appearance, a treacherous and frivolous appearance, or a **** butler of the housekeeper Bunod.
Nothing to say, take away a pack of poison.
The remaining boss of Defoe solved it better. They didn’t need Zhou Ming to come to the door to say, the other party sent Anna with a smile and asked him if he needed a maid who was waiting for him.
Uh …
July.
Good news came. After more than two months of marriage, Alice was happy, and she would soon add a new member to the Burns family.
Zhou Ming prepared a gift and congratulated her. After returning home, she also increased the frequency of cultivating with Anna. In August, Anna’s belly remained quiet.
“Does the injury on my right lung affect part of my reproductive function?”
Zhou Ming felt a little bad. Every time he and Anna performed activities, his lungs were always in severe pain, and he could only reduce the intensity, which affected the quality of the activities.
“No, you have to take care of yourself, or I won’t be able to leave a few of my offspring when I am old, and no one will inherit my property, then it will be miserable!”
“The Sims” game is designed to be less user-friendly. If all the wealth created by the game character is not inherited stably and properly, the system will judge it as “unstable property”, if the game character has no descendants So, I ’m sorry, even if you are rich and enemies, only the poor funerary value points in the property score.
In order to prevent this, Zhou Ming began to eat some foods that nourish the blood and strengthen the kidneys and yang. After UU read www.uukanshu.com for a period of time, Anna ’s belly finally moved in September, and then he was relieved. Fortunately, the physical function is still fine, so do n’t worry that no direct descendants will inherit their property.
In September, the year of the autumn harvest also arrived. The golden field of the golden collar was full of bunches of golden fruits, which pressed the ears of wheat and lowered his head. The breezes blew, indicating a unprecedented unprecedented Great Harvest Year.
Inside the castle hall.
“Master Baron, the housekeeper of Ryan, with the help of a horse-drawn harvester, the corn fields of the Grand Collar have all been harvested within a week, and the grain harvest is also counted. The grain output of Rose Town has the largest increase, reaching 155%. In the other ten villages, the growth rates were 130%, 125%, 122%, …, 107%. Together, these 11 villages and towns together increased the total agricultural output of the Grand Collar to 127%, that is to say, This year ’s total grain output of Grand Collar is double that of last year by 27%! “
The tax officer held a report and reported with great excitement.
“What about territory tax, how much has territory tax increased this year?” Downey, who couldn’t sit still, asked both excitedly and anxiously.
“An increase of 68%, which is a good calculation. After deducting some additional expenses, there must be 60%.” Zhou Ming, who was sitting on the side, thirsty and spoke lightly.
“Yes, Ryan Butler, the tax revenue of this year’s territory has increased by 62% compared to last year! Because the increase is too much, the castle’s granary will soon be unable to hold this year’s new grain.” The tax official suggested in time that a new one should be built. granary.
Donny is still immersed in these amazing growth data, unable to extricate himself, for a long time, he gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up and said: “Ryan, what a genius you are!”
