future earthly
Chapter 18
After everyone was seated, Ling Xiao clapped his hands.The housekeeper opened a bottle of red wine and filled it up for everyone. Today is to welcome the arrival of the Marquis family, so I want to drink some wine to celebrate.Although it is also called red wine, it is not made from grapes.It is made from a fruit similar to grapes. In fact, things in this world are different from the earth.
I remember that when Ling Xiao first arrived, he was surprised to see bees and butterflies in the garden that were bigger than fists.Because they were so big, he thought it was because of overnutrition!Later, when I left the castle, I saw the bees and butterflies outside and realized that the house was only half the size of the earth, not as big as the one in the castle.Later, he asked this question specifically, and Leon told him secretly.The bees and butterflies in the garden are actually artificial intelligence robot insects, which were made by a technology company owned by the Williams family.Because she likes these two kinds of insects, it was made so big according to her request.
Ling Xiao still remembers his reaction after hearing Leon's words, it was completely petrified.His mother is very good and strong.This hobby is different from other noble ladies, who would like insects!
The atmosphere at the table was really not good, at least everyone was eating very depressed.Only Ling Xiao turned a blind eye and just ate it. You must know that as a special soldier, you have to face various situations at any time, and sometimes you might even sit next to a dead person and eat raw animal meat.
Because I was sitting next to my mother, I knew she didn't eat much, so I planned to make some supper for her later.But after Ling Xiao had seen his grandfather, father and grandfather, he felt that they needed it too.However, he looked at his grandmother and the others again, and shrugged.It seems that they are not needed.Grandmother, uncle, and aunt obviously didn't eat much, and the two cousins stuffed food into their mouths while peeking at grandpa, so they weren't afraid of indigestion.
After taking a sip of wine, the taste was very weak.From the perspective of people on earth, it is really not a good wine.Although there is still food in the Empire and Alliance today, the taste is not as good as it was [-] years ago.Most people choose to drink nutritional supplements for convenience, although its taste can only be said to be average.
Don't think that Ling Xiao is just exaggerating the earth, thinking that he hasn't had any good wine at such a young age.Want to know who Ling Xiao's grandfather is?His old man is at the national level.In his life, he has treated many high-ranking officials and nobles, and he has never been short of good wine.Without exception, all these wines entered the stomachs of their grandfather and grandson.Therefore, Ling Xiao's mouth has long been spoiled by those famous wines, and the so-called famous wines of the empire are not in his eyes at all.
"What?" Because Errol had been paying attention to his son's attitude, he frowned when he saw him drinking, since he never drank.
"It's unpalatable." The two words caused Errol to immediately lose his ability to speak. Xiao'er said that Warsaw, known as the No.1 wine in the empire, was unpalatable.If Warsaw, who created this wine in the first place, knew about it, it would definitely cry.
In order to prevent himself from being hit harder, Errol decided not to ask any more questions.Anyway, the food of their empire has been despised by Xiao'er to the point that it is not the type for human to eat, no matter how much there is, it will not make a difference.Just thinking about it still makes me feel uncomfortable.Although the empire's technology is advanced, but like Xiao'er said, what's the point of living like this?It's just some living things.A person without pursuit is just a waste.
Some people live to live, some people live to make their families live better, some people live to let themselves live a better life, some people live for ideals, and some people live to eat the world Some people live to see the world's scenery, etc. These people have memories, so they live more wonderfully.
What about the people of the Empire?What is it to live for.For power, or for money, or just for war with the Alliance?Errol was lost in thought, because he really didn't know at what point the Empire hadn't been any fun anymore.Entertainment and leisure only accounted for a small part in the minds of the imperial people, and most people lived aimlessly.
As technology becomes more and more developed, people have less and less time to work because most of them are replaced by robots.Only the nobles still insist on the ancient human labor.Now even a very ordinary family can buy a robot to serve themselves. Everyone hardly does anything except practice, and practice is just to make themselves live longer, and they have nothing else to think about.
After the meal, the men sat in the study and chatted, while the women started their own topics.Although in Ling Xiao's view, it was my grandmother who was talking, and my aunt agreed, but my mother, Eliza, was silent and yawned a few times from time to time.It looks very pitiful, but who made her the grandmother's daughter!
But Ling Xiao is not much better here, his uncle and two cousins show themselves to be very good all the time, which makes Ling Xiao want to yawn like his mother.In the end, grandpa couldn't see it and stopped his son and grandson's idiot behavior.Poor grandpa, he must have owed these people in his previous life, otherwise the son born with his IQ would not even be able to see the most basic expressions.
"Xiao'er, go and rest! I've been tired all day." Although the Marquis's family was a guest at the Williams family, Ling Xiao didn't take a day off from training because of this, but even intensified the training.The literary classes did not let go, and they studied very seriously with the teachers.
"Okay, you guys go to bed early too. Grandpa, grandpa, dad, Anwan." Ling Xiao followed the custom of the empire, kissed the cheeks of the elders, nodded to his uncle and two cousins, yawned and left.
"It's really uneducated. The guests haven't rested yet, but as the host, he went to sleep early. He really is an uncivilized savage." After Ling Xiao left, the uncle said about his nephew regardless of the ugly faces of the old duke and Errol. Bad to say.
"Bruce, shut up." The Marquis stopped his son before his old friend and son-in-law got mad, fearing that if he continued speaking, he would be silenced by the two dukes who loved their grandson and son.Although this son is incomprehensible, even stupid, but he is his own flesh and blood after all, and he does not want him to die so early.
"Grandpa, Dad is right, what are you doing to him?" The two grandsons thought it was not messy enough, so they stood up to speak for their father.The Marquis was so angry that he really wanted to stuff them back into his daughter-in-law's belly to see if he could improve his IQ.
"Get out." The Marquis got angry. Don't his son and grandson know that they are guests in someone else's house now?In this way, if the son of the family was not in-laws, he would have been kicked out of the castle long ago.
"grandfather……"
"Father..."
He wanted to intercede, but unfortunately the Marquis was determined, no matter how much they yelled, no matter how much they pleaded, he would ignore them.In the end, it was Errol who asked his own soldier captain Wells to lead the soldiers to pull them out, one by one, as if they were in a competition whose voice was louder, and it was so noisy.
After the unworthy son and grandson went out, the Marquis slumped on the soft chair.The whole person seems to have aged a lot rapidly, and there is no daytime look.
"Old friend, you say such a son and grandson, do I dare to hand over the family to them?" Although the Clarence family is not as good as the Duke's mansion, it can be called a name in the empire.But now, his wife and son have ruined most of the family's reputation, making them the laughing stock of the aristocratic circle.As the patriarch, he certainly couldn't hand over the family to such a person.
"Look at it, you still have a daughter, Eliza. Now you have a grandson, Ling Xiao, who is much more reliable than your two grandchildren." The old duke patted his old friend on the shoulder. The marquis should have passed the title to his son long ago, and then he should have enjoyed himself in his clothes.But because of Bruce's disappointment, not to mention passing on the title to him, he didn't even dare to give him the position of heir.
"Old guy, I've always been jealous of you. Because you not only have such an excellent son and heir as Errol, but you can also pick up such an excellent grandson as Xiao'er without a grandson." The Marquis made no secret of his admiration for the old man. The Duke's jealousy, because he is too tired and too hard.For thousands of years, a family has been supported by him.Perhaps there was a problem with the family's education, and the entire family could not find an heir who could take on the responsibility of the family, whether it was the direct line or the collateral line.
"Look at it, at most we won't stop you." Errol sympathized with the wife and father, because he is still old enough to bear the burden of the family, like his father has long since left behind. The pick ran away.
"Can you stop it? Errol, don't think that just because you marry my daughter, you can put on airs as a duke in front of me. I'll let Eliza take care of you later." The Marquis has always disliked Errol, because he Married away his favorite daughter.
Angry me again?Errol showed himself innocent.His wife and father have always had opinions on him, but they still can't push back.Why am I so pitiful!Errol groaned inwardly.
"By the way, is the time for Xiao'er to go to the Imperial Military Academy fixed?" The Marquis actually didn't really want to send his grandson to the Military Academy, but this was the law of the Empire, so he was not sent there back then.
"It's fixed, next year." Errol became depressed when he thought that his son would go to Emperor Star in a few months.
"So early? Don't you go after you are 30 years old?" Generally, families send their children to military academies after they are 30 years old. Children will leave their parents when they are older so that they will not cry in the academy because of sadness.
"Xiao'er is quite special. If he can't prove his strength earlier, the nobles will have opinions on him becoming the heir to the duke." This is actually a decision made by Errol after discussing with his father and wife. Xiao'er is different. Other children of the empire.He came from the lowest civilized planet, which made it easy for the nobles of the empire to look down on his origin.
I remember that when Ling Xiao first arrived, he was surprised to see bees and butterflies in the garden that were bigger than fists.Because they were so big, he thought it was because of overnutrition!Later, when I left the castle, I saw the bees and butterflies outside and realized that the house was only half the size of the earth, not as big as the one in the castle.Later, he asked this question specifically, and Leon told him secretly.The bees and butterflies in the garden are actually artificial intelligence robot insects, which were made by a technology company owned by the Williams family.Because she likes these two kinds of insects, it was made so big according to her request.
