Poverty Alleviation Princess

If there is anything besides the cousin and the seemingly endless courses that give Ah Yuan a headache, it is all kinds of social activities that emerge one after another.

Among them, the most banquets are the most stressful.

— wish these guys would run more horses.

"Today is the earl, tomorrow is the viscount, and the day after tomorrow is the banker..."

Listening to the invitations read out by the housekeeper Amanda, A Yuan couldn't help complaining.

"It is said that it is a different session, but there are only those people back and forth. Don't they have to do anything else?"

She herself feels that there is not enough time every day. Just attending classes, looking up information, and looking for someone to keep an eye on where her cousin is going, almost takes up three-quarters of her waking time.If there are any emergencies or to participate in social activities, it will take more time.

She's still a bachelor.

Also don't know how people who date mistresses/lovers in addition to their regular jobs and routines...sometimes more than one grown-up do it.

They are all 24 hours a day, why do these people live like 48 hours a day...

The real per capita time management master.

"But interpersonal relationships are built in this communication again and again."

Amanda didn't feel that the hostess who complained like this was rude, she just pursed her lips and smiled to flatten the truth.

"Every time you see almost the same people, it proves that the status of gentlemen and ladies is very stable, and they are excellent people worthy of your energy to associate with."

——In other words, if people are constantly changing, it proves that the status of these people is not stable.

The social circle is a very real and cold place.

The more luxurious and gorgeous the banquet, the more so it will not allow any characters that do not match itself to appear in it.Even if he was a popular guest yesterday, as long as he loses power, as long as he goes bankrupt, he will probably be rejected today.

Those beautiful ladies and excellent gentlemen who used to surround him/her will also be scattered.

So being seen, and being seen, is a good thing for both parties - and a part of the everyday life of being famous/wealthy.

It is an important link to praise the other party's new jewelry, dress or pocket watch/cane in a timely manner.

——This is really not an easy matter for Ah Yuan.

These trivialities also accounted for a large part of the reason why she was tired.

Whenever this time comes, she will sincerely admire all the workers who stand on the intelligence front - the social field is one of the important sources of intelligence, and countless men and women engaged in intelligence work are hidden among flowers and laughter, doing their due diligence Responsibly obtain all possible valuable information.

admirable.

Of course, Arnold is an exception.

She really didn't know how this intelligence worker who was always indifferent, even at work, always looked like "Don't fight me, I'm not interested in you" got information.

Frozen to death with a cold face?

A Yuan himself shivered from the coldness of his own brain.

It was so cold that the penguins were freezing to death.

"...Wow, what is this?"

Just when Ah Yuan was decompressing with wild thoughts, Cain's voice suddenly came over.A Yuan subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction from which the sound came, and saw that Cain had run back at some point, holding a wooden box and turning it back and forth to watch.

It was a wooden box with exquisite workmanship, but from the blackened pulp at the corners and the old damage marks on the body, it can be seen that it has been old for a certain period of time, and it is an old thing.

Such things are not uncommon.

With the changes of the times, there are always families that cannot keep up with the tide of the times or have a hopeless prodigal son, who will live by pawning the property of their ancestors.

Jewelry, gold and silverware, furniture and even houses are the most common pawns.

This kind of wooden box is more common.

But she didn't remember that she bought something like this recently?

"Why did you come back so early today?"

A Yuan walked over with surprise in his eyes.

Every time Cain ran out, he would not come back within half a day.

It's just past noon today?

She also deliberately looked out the window - yes, the sky is bright, it should be just afternoon.

"...It's nothing." The boy stopped playing with the wooden box for a moment, and said awkwardly, "I just want to come back."

A Yuan stared at him and continued to look at him, his focused eyes made the young 'Earl' look so fuzzy, so he had to compromise

He put the wooden box in A Yuan's hand: "Well, I quarreled with someone."

"with friends?"

"...I think it should be." Cain was a little frustrated, "but the other party doesn't seem to think so."

Recalling today's quarrel, Cain still can't understand it.

Is 'identity' that important?

Is it important enough to ignore the happy times they spent together before?

He really thought that Andy was his friend, that's why he couldn't accept it - he couldn't accept that he would tell other friends that he was a 'fat sheep'.

I can't accept the other party saying that I only please myself for money, and now I don't want to please myself, a miser who doesn't give money.

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding?"

A Yuan didn't say something like 'it's his loss that he doesn't like you' - after all, she's not the person involved, and it's not a good thing for Cain to develop the perception that 'every quarrel is not a friend'.

"There can be any misunderstanding."

Cain didn't want to mention this matter again, and turned the topic back to the wooden box.

"This is your cousin's thing? Could it be someone gave you a token of love?"

This kind of exquisite and old things can only come from nobles. If it is not the cousin's own, then it is likely to be sent by someone.

And something like giving a lady... It's likely to be a suitor or fiance or something.

"certainly not."

Ah Yuan stopped looking at the wooden box, and denied it.

"...There's no need to deny it in such a hurry."

Cain blinked narrowly.

"It's normal for young girls to have suitors, and it's not surprising to have lovers or lovers." Although he is still young and has no lovers or lovers, these things are almost common sense among nobles. I especially avoid him, so he understands it very well.

"If you say it's not, then it's not." Thinking back, it was probably in the batch of materials and tools that I bought before?

But she doesn't remember buying something like this?She looked at it carefully for a moment, her hands also groping on the uneven and wonderful patterns.

Although it is made of wood, it feels very warm to the touch, and even a little... warm feeling?

I have heard of jade with temperature, but wood also heats up?

"Then what did he give you?" The black-haired handsome boy stared at his cousin for a moment, then asked abruptly.

"He sent it... No, there is no such thing." A Yuan replied subconsciously, but fortunately, he reacted in time and stopped it.

"Oh~" Cain showed a knowing expression.

"Did someone really give it to you? Who is it? Maybe I know, and I can check it out for you."

He approached A Yuan intimately, his beautiful ice-green eyes were filled with 'want to know'. "This is a lifelong event for my important cousin, and it cannot be decided lightly."

"It's been said that there is no such person."

A Yuan pushed Cain away.

"Why don't you help me organize the materials together if you are so free, your Latin is not bad?"

In the materials compiled by A Yuan, apart from infrastructure, farming and management... and information about the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and the Kingdom of Sardinia, there are also some legends and anecdotes about magical powers.

What if there are any special powers or special props in this world?

Or, is there magic that will bring her back?

If she can't find it for a day, it will be a month, and if she can't find it for a month, it will be a year-she can always find clues.

Although she couldn't use magic like her cousin and aunt, she came from a big family anyway, so she still had some experience and knowledge reserves.

During those times when she thought she could make up for her lack of talent with hard work, she also studied hard.

"...Leave me alone."

Cain threw up his hands in surrender.

He is not interested in those boring stories and descriptions, as long as he is interested in thrilling and magical anecdotes.

Or the legend of the Borgia family.

He was very interested in this poisonous family.

He flipped over and ran nimbly—in addition to running around with Musashi-san, he also started exercising under A Yuan's request and under her guidance.

Ah Yuan doesn't want him to become a master like the character in the legend, but only hopes that he can be healthier.She doesn't know what happened to him in the past.But now that she is here, she has to take responsibility.

Eat well and dress well, and at the same time, knowledge and health must not be left behind.

Children in their teens, but not much stronger than the refugee teenagers I have seen before, how can this be okay.

Although when she made this decision, she never thought that he would use the skills he learned from Musashi to sneak out and play.

"Cousin." The boy who ran to the door stopped suddenly.

"what?"

"I'm serious, if you have someone you like, you can tell me - if he is a good person who can be trusted for life, I will definitely stand by your side."

"...Thank you." She didn't take this as a childish speech, but thanked her with a smile.

"So, what did he give you?"

"You should come back and help me."

Seeing the boy's figure disappear at the door, Ah Yuan looked away.

What did you send...

A Yuan's hand brushed her skirt lightly.

The Kunai, which is very small compared to the giver, is still by her side.

This is also the only 'gift' that comes into this world.

All other things are stored in the castle tower.

Maybe it was because of thinking day by day and dreaming at night, A Yuan had a dream when he was taking a nap in the carriage going to the party.

She dreamed of the familiar green water and green mountains, and a small village surrounded by layers of greenery. Although it was a village she had never seen before, but the architectural style and unrefined layout...well, it is really kind .

In addition, after nightfall, the wooden man and Susanoo who fought fiercely proved that this was the world she had worked so hard for before.

……and many more.

Why are you fighting again? ? ?

Didn't you tell them that you can't use Mutun or Susan after a hundred sparring sessions?

If it is broken, what compensation will they get! ?

A Yuan almost jumped up angrily, and then woke up.

"……What's wrong?"

Arnold, who was sitting diagonally across, looked up.

... I dreamed that my blood was about to disappear again.

Recalling the painstaking efforts that have been damaged countless times in the past, even if it was just a dream, Ah Yuan felt that his breathing became difficult.

Anyway, I dream of the past, why can't I give her some warmth? ? ?

The author has something to say: Here comes the update.

Dear big and small cuties.

When I wrote about Ah Yuan’s nightmare, I remembered the nightmare I dreamed about going to the printing shop when I was in a hurry to make bids, and the virus GG was found in the USB flash drive... It was terrible.

A week of hard work!

…After waking up from the shock, I immediately got up and opened the computer mailbox, desktop, and U disk to save a copy (…) When I turned on the computer the next day and found out about this incident, I was still a bit dazed, and I didn’t know which one was the dream.

Social animals weep.

Banchan is so good, I want to write about Banchan at any stage (you shut up)
