Enrolled Swordsman

26 chapter

When Nuo Wei returned home after a day's work, the housekeeper told him that his second and third uncles had come, and it was only then that Nuo Wei remembered that today is a bimonthly family reunion day.

Novi, who was already a little tired after working all day, changed his clothes and walked to the hospitality restaurant to attend the so-called family reunion day. Anyway, it was just a meal together. After eating early, come back early and deal with the unfinished work quickly. Otherwise, he won't be able to deal with Boyi when he comes back.

When Novi walked to the reception restaurant, the family of the second uncle and the third uncle had already sat down at the long dining table, his father and mother had also taken their seats, and Bi Wei was also there.

Novi walked over to sit down, and Earl Miller signaled to the butler that the servants could start serving the dishes.

Miller Paquero Asks Novi "Is Your Husband Aren't Going To Family Reunions?"

"He works in the army, missions, training, and meetings. These things may happen at any time, and it is normal to not come back on time." In fact, family gatherings are not important in Novi's mind, so I didn't mention it to Boyi specifically.

"So it's better to choose a nobleman as your husband, why choose such a commoner who has no benefits."

"As long as I know his benefits."

Paquero said to Earl Miller again, "Brother, do you know what everyone discussed at the banquet at Baron Russell's house a few days ago? They all said that Miller's house was not as good as before, and now they are recruiting civilians again." Marriage means that you have already given up on yourself. Even in normal times, there are many discussions among the nobles about this matter, and the second brother should have heard others talking about this matter, right?"

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to these things." Although Miller Puglia's surname is Miller, he is a female adopted by Novi's grandparents, and has no blood relationship with the Miller family, so in this family He has always kept his duty and never offended anyone. Even though he has been married for many years and his children have grown up, as long as he returns to Miller's house, he will remain silent and non-participating as always.

Earl Miller said, "Let them talk if they want to talk. Can I still control other people's mouths?"

Paquero pretended to sigh and said, "Now the Miller family is not as good as it used to be. If my elder brother had accepted my suggestion and agreed to adopt Jerry to you, the Miller family would not be replaced by a commoner child in the future." inherit."

Bi Wei cut the food on the dinner plate with a knife and fork and said, "Even if the child is a commoner, as long as he has half of the orthodox blood, it is enough to inherit the Miller family. It is better than inheriting the offspring with mixed blood."

Paquero's face froze, and after a while he cleared his throat and said, "Recently, Jelliff's mentor praised him again, saying that he has improved a lot compared to before. I think with his current excellent performance, he will be able to do so after graduation. It should be no problem to successfully enter the Executive Yuan, and Novi will have helpers in the future. Otherwise, Novi is now married to a commoner, and I don’t know how long he will have to stay in the Executive Yuan before he can get ahead.”

Bi Wei said, "Really? It didn't take much effort for my father to get him into the political branch. Jeff, how is your grade ranking this time?"

Jelliff's round face was full of pride and he said, "I am ranked No. 30 in this ranking test, which is an improvement of more than 20 than before."

Bi Wei snorted and said, "Then you have to work hard. The Executive Yuan only admits the top six from the political branch every year. Novi and I have never been ranked lower than the third since we were in school. If we only take the 35th place in the exam , I don’t even have the face to go out to meet people, let alone show it off.”

Paquero's face became more and more ugly, "No matter how good a female is, she will marry sooner or later. Even if she doesn't marry into another family, she can't inherit the title. This is stipulated by legislation. As long as a male is well educated and trained, he can stand up." The whole family. Like us, Jerry, has great potential. If he can get the education and guidance of his elder brother, it will definitely be of great help to the Miller family in the future."

Bi Wei retorted, "Not everyone can be cultivated to become a talent. There are more aristocratic men who cannot be supported. Talent is also determined by genes. This is the experience I have gained in the past few years in medicine. "

Paquero wanted to adopt his son to Earl Miller to inherit the title. It is no longer a matter of a day or two. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will bring it up. Novi is used to it. If he usually responds with a few words , but today he just wants to finish his meal quickly and deal with work. Anyway, Bi Wei is better than him in fighting back this kind of thing.

The party ended with Paquero's increasingly livid face.

Nuo Wei was about to go back to the study, Bi Wei said, "I'll go there with you, and lend me your previous physical training materials, I need to use them for research."

The two came to the study together, and Novi found out the materials of physical training for him.

Bi Wei saw Novi's desk full of various materials and crystal cards and said to him, "Since you are married and have a husband, you should let him share the burden with you. If it is still the same as before, you will need everything Why bother to get married if you have to bear it yourself."

Novi didn't want to argue with him at this time, and said to him, "This is my business and has nothing to do with you. It's already late, so go back quickly."

Bi Wei was angry, he was heartbroken that he worked too hard alone, and he didn't appreciate it, "This is also my home, I can leave whenever I want."

Novi said while looking for the materials to use, "Then please go back to your own residence, I still have things to deal with, so don't bother me."

"I'm too lazy to care about you. You deserve it when you're exhausted." As the eldest son, Bi Wei felt guilty for leaving all the responsibilities of the family to his younger brother. With a personality of true feelings, he can't say anything close to him.

Boyi, who just came home, and Bi Wei, who had just walked out of the study, walked past each other. Bi Wei got angry at Novi, and didn't look good towards Boyi, so he snorted at him and left.

Boyi was a bit puzzled, but Bi Wei never gave him a good face, and he was used to it.

"Why is Bi Wei still at home so late today?"

"Today is a bimonthly family reunion, and the second and third uncles have just left."

Family gathering?Boyi asked with a subtle expression, "Did I miss something important again?"

Seeing his expression, Novi couldn't help laughing, "It's not something important, so I didn't mention it to you specifically, and I only remembered it after I got home."

Boyi asked again, "Why didn't I know you still have your second and third uncles."

Novi explained, "The Miller family has a rule that after the new earl inherits the title, his brothers must move out, but in order not to become more and more estranged between the brothers, it is also stipulated that every two months must be moved out. Get together once, the second uncle and the third uncle have moved out for many years, and they rarely come back."

"So family reunions are not unimportant."

"I don't think the latter decision is necessary at all. If the relationship between the brothers is good, they will naturally not be estranged, but if the relationship is not good, there is no point in forcing them together."

"So the relationship between father, second uncle and third uncle is not good?"

"The second uncle was adopted by my grandparents. The relationship can't be said to be bad, but it's not that close. The third uncle is indeed my father's younger brother, but he was not born to the same aunt, and the relationship is not very good. .”

Having said that, Boyi somewhat understands why Novi said that this family reunion is not important anymore, one is not relative, and the other is a half-brother.

"Has the third uncle's aunt also passed away?" He knew that Nuo Wei's grandfather and grand aunt had passed away.

"No, he moved out with his third uncle after his grandfather passed away, but I heard that he hardly ever went out and never attended family gatherings. In fact, I have always wondered why my grandfather married a third uncle after his grandparents passed away. Because it is said that my grandfather loved my grandparents very much, and it was because I missed my grandparents so much that I lost the idea of ​​living and passed away early." In this era, as long as you take good care of yourself, you can live for two years. There is nothing wrong with being a hundred years old. Although there are few people over three hundred years old, it is not uncommon, so Novi's grandma and grandfather died young.

"Why did grandma die?" Since grandpa died because he missed grandma too much, then why did grandma die?

"I don't know, I've never heard my father mention it, but this is already a matter of the previous generation, and it's useless to know the reason. Of course, my father has his reasons for not saying it."

Boyi was just curious for a while, and had no intention of further research. Seeing Novi talking to him while flipping through the materials, he really didn't know what to say. This was obviously to delay his time to let him go to rest. .

Before Boyi opened his mouth to urge him to go to rest, Novi said quickly, "There is only a little bit left to finish reading, and it will be fine soon."

Boyi had no choice but to wait for him to read the so-called little information left.

Suddenly seeing a black book on Novi’s desk, Boyi picked it up and looked at it. The cover of this book has no pattern or text, it’s just black cardboard, which gives people a sense of age, and it’s gone now. There are very few books made of this kind of wood pulp paper. Most of these books are very important cultural relics, recording very long and important content.

"What is this?" Boyi asked.

Novi looked up and said, "This is just a book that records about the Dark Sword. I asked my father to borrow it from the secret bookstore for me."

"Dark Sword? What are you looking at?"

"After a while, the once-in-ten-year peace talks between the Odeyali Empire and the Aldrich Empire will begin. The Senate has decided to send the minister, Duke Vernandez, to Aldrich to negotiate and sign a peace treaty. I I am preparing to apply for accompanying, if the application is approved, it will greatly improve me in all aspects, so I am getting to know the country of Aldrich."

"What does this have to do with Dark Sword?"

"Don't you know? Aldrich was not ranked among the top ten countries in the universe tens of thousands of years ago, but he was able to become one of the three major powers in tens of thousands of years because the Dark Sword once appeared in them He also said that the Dark Sword belonged to their country. Based on this, they began to develop without fear of any other country. Although the Dark Sword has always been just a legend, but The Dark Sword did appear in the Aldrich Empire tens of thousands of years ago, so other countries have to be cautious."

Boyi opened the book, "Is there a detailed record about the dark sword?"

"How is it possible? Most of the records about the Dark Sword here are just speculations. There are very few useful things. I only know that the Dark Sword is a very magical and powerful mecha made 200 million years ago, and this In the past 200 million years, it has only appeared a few times, and each time it appeared as a savior, saving the planet and mankind, and then disappeared immediately. Because the Dark Sword appeared most recently in the Aldrich Empire, That's why they said so confidently that the Dark Sword belongs to them, and if they are in danger, the Dark Sword will immediately appear to save them, and the driver of the Dark Sword is called the Ripper in the book."

Boyi flicked the book for a moment, "There is also a swordsman mentioned here?"

"If you are also interested in the Sword Rider, then I can only say sorry, because there is no other description of the Sword Rider except this name."

Boyi flipped the book casually a few times, then put down the book, pulled up Novi who was sitting on the seat, and took him back to the room to rest.

Novi struggled and said, "There is one more point, really only one point to finish reading."

Boyi didn't believe what he said this time, but picked him up by the waist and forcibly took him away.
