And the protagonist of the story we are going to tell, Liu Bei, a master of straw sandal weaving, is a descendant of a son who is not valued by King Jing of Zhongshan, and he is the one who has been separated by several generations.
It stands to reason that such descendants of the Liu family who can't even study the genealogy, generally speaking, few people would associate them with the descendants of the royal family.But Liu Bei not only managed to let the whole world know that he was a descendant of the Empress Han, but even made the emperor at that time respectfully call him "royal family".
The occurrence of these things, of course, has an element of luck in it, but more of it is the result of Liu Bei's years of hard work.
For Liu Bei Liu Huangshu in history, later generations have mixed opinions on him. Charlotte himself has a neutral attitude towards Liu Bei, but what he can't deny is that Liu Bei is indeed very capable. , the skin is really thick.
Before Liu Bei met his second and third brothers who were invincible in the world, he was just a stinky straw sandal seller who didn't know if he would have another meal after eating this meal, but he had ambitions and great ambitions. The determination of the room, and more importantly, he has a face that will not be ashamed if he sells himself.
As long as he was talking with important people, when introducing himself, Liu Bei would always say, I am the Empress of Zhongshan King Jing Liu Sheng.
Those who don't know much about Liu Sheng will often be bluffed by Liu Bei's self-introduction. It doesn't matter if you meet someone who knows how to do it. Anyway, Liu Bei is thick-skinned. If this person doesn't want to see him, then replace him People chant.
Relying on his indomitable determination and thick enough face, Liu Bei not only met his second and third younger brothers, but also became a founding king at the age of over half a century.
This story tells us that some things everyone knows are not true, but as long as you have a way to make others say it is true, then these things must be true.
It sounds a bit convoluted, but it's actually not particularly difficult to understand. There is only one meaning that Charlotte wants to express - as long as the two princes are willing to admit his identity, then Charlotte does not have any royal blood of Casimir , he can also become a member of the royal family.
But if this kind of thing is to be realized, it is very difficult without much thought, and Charlotte does not want to do it overnight, so he will focus more on the next negotiation .
"Platinum, is there anything worth noting about this Duke Ferid?"
Charlotte asked.
"Indeed there are."
The assassin girl nodded slightly.
"Duke Ferid is not only a royalist, but also an unscrupulous main fighter."
Platinum went on to explain.
"As far as I know, Duke Ferid has persuaded the current Grand Duke Casimir more than once that he must never sign any truce agreement with Ursus. Because in Duke Ferid's view, Ursas and Casimir The history between the two is a bloody history written in war, and there is absolutely no possibility of permanent peace between the two."
"The reason why Ursas chose to sign an armistice agreement with Casimir is not because they don't want to start a war, but because the Ursas are brewing a bigger conspiracy."
"This Duke Ferid is a sensible man."
Charlotte said softly.
"I think he's really right."
The Celestial Dynasty, the country where Xia Luo used to live, is also a multi-ethnic fusion country. There have been many times in history that foreigners ruled the Han people, but the Han people living in this land have a magical power. , can use the racial talent of farming to slowly assimilate foreign nations.
But this kind of miraculous ability, Xia Luo has only seen in the people of the Celestial Dynasty. In the Europa Continent, which is far away from the Celestial Dynasty, it is also a land of multi-ethnic life, but there is a completely different situation.
Charlotte himself doesn't know too much about the specific content, but he does know a lot about the stories between the two countries, the Daiying Empire and the French Empire.
During the period of more than 1337 years from 1453 AD to 100 AD, the two countries, the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France, fought a protracted war that lasted for more than a hundred years.Although the war that lasted for more than 100 years was finally stopped due to various reasons, the grievances between the two traditional powers on the Eurasian continent have continued from this war to the present .
Even if it was a short-term alliance in World War II (Charlotte didn't even know whether it could be considered an alliance), but until the 21st century before Charlotte crossed, mutual losses between Britain and France were still a normal state, and both sides did not like each other. No one wants the other to die quickly.
It can be seen from this that although countries can be united for a short period of time because of some interests, the hatred between the two sides is deep-rooted, and it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate the day.
That's why Charlotte felt that Duke Ferid was a sensible person. He directly hit the essence of the problem. He knew clearly that Ursus would not be willing to be lonely all the time.
"Platinum, you mean, I can start from this aspect, right?"
Charlotte asked.
"You can use questions about this to increase Duke Ferid's favorability with me."
"As expected of my master."
Platinum praised Charlotte. Of course, it would be even better if this girl could not speak in a sticky tone.
"Platinum really likes it very much."
"I said you two masters and servants, do you have to throw dog food in front of me?"
Listening to the conversation between Charlotte and Platinum, even though the assassin girl's words didn't have much real emotion, Shi Huaiya, the little tiger girl, still felt that her goosebumps were about to rise.
"I don't understand. Is love really such a wonderful thing?"
When she was a child, she had been receiving elite education and was busy getting to know all kinds of dignitaries that she didn't like at all. When she grew up, she joined the Longmen Guards Bureau and was busy dealing with all kinds of criminals all day long.
It can be said that in the past 20 years of Shi Huaiya's life, she has never thought about love issues, including after meeting Charlotte, Xiao Huniu just thinks that this man is quite interesting and suitable for investment , but you said that you really want to form a relationship with Charlotte, then Shi Huaiya really never thought about it.
But what Swire doesn't know is that most romantic relationships often start with interest.
"Well, my fault."
Charlotte shrugged her shoulders lightly, but the big hand holding Platinum's little hand tightened even tighter.
"So, let's meet Duke Ferid early."
If you want to meet a duke, it is not enough to just announce in advance. You must know that every duke in Casimir is a first-class big shot. Unless they are members of the royal family, it is completely up to them whether they want to meet or not. own will.
If Charlotte is alone, don't expect to be able to visit other people's castles as soon as the front foot is notified like this.But if there is Shi Huaiya's help, it's a different matter. With the status and status of the little tiger girl, even the Duke will sell her some face.
The fiefs owned by the duke and the viscount are naturally different. The fief owned by Duke Ferid is more than ten times larger than that owned by Charlotte.However, Charlotte and the two girls beside her naturally didn't need to cross this endless fief, because Duke Ferid had already prepared a carriage for them in advance.
"Excuse me, Viscount Charlotte, is Miss Swire right?"
A man wearing a butler uniform appeared in front of Charlotte and the others.
"Yes, I am Viscount Charlotte."
"This is Shi Huaiya from Longmen."
"I've kept you two waiting for a long time. I'm Almond, the butler of Lord Ferid's house."
After confirming the identities of Charlotte and Sweiyar, the man dressed as a housekeeper immediately bowed his head in respect.
"You two have been waiting for a long time. Please board the carriage and take your seats. I will safely escort the two of you to Lord Ferid's residence."
"Then trouble Butler Almond."
Charlotte gestured with her eyes, and Platinum took out some Longmen coins from the pocket of the maid outfit.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Miss...no, Viscount Charlotte, what do you mean?"
"It's just a little bit of hard work, it doesn't matter."
Are these thousands of Longmen coins a little bit?
Butler Almond froze for a moment.
He has served Duke Ferid for a long time, and Duke Ferid's attitude and treatment towards his servants are considered good. To be honest, Butler Almond himself is not short of money.
Of course, he would not pay attention to these thousands of Longmen coins, but it did make him a little excited to let a well-known figure in the aristocratic circle take the initiative to curry favor with him.
Because of his excitement, Butler Almond's tone became more cordial and gentle.
"Viscount Charlotte, you are really spending too much money."
After stuffing the Longmen coin into his pocket calmly, the aged butler Almond whispered in Charlotte's ear.
"As for the current situation of the master, let's talk slowly in the carriage."
"Then thank you, Butler Almond."
On the left is Sweiyar, and on the right is holding Platinum's little hand. Charlotte and his party followed Butler Almond and boarded the carriage.
……
The fields in winter are different from those in other seasons. There are no spring flowers, no summer greenery, no autumn golden everywhere, but only endless white snow on the face.
Charlotte, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the scenery outside the window with some carelessness. When he saw the civilians who appeared in front of him from time to time, struggling to pick up the ears of wheat left on the ground, his expression was a bit complicated.
"The weather is like this, and you have to worry about three meals a day. How can this not be a good day?"
"But for the civilians in Casimir, it's just a daily routine."
Platinum leaned on Charlotte's shoulder and whispered.
"Those civilians who can work for the great nobles may be better off. After all, the great nobles don't need money to save face. At least three meals a day can be guaranteed."
"Since three meals a day can be guaranteed, why go out to pick ears of wheat in this season?"
"That's because they also have family members."
Platinum said in a low voice.
"It is normal for a farmer to have one son and one daughter, and it is not uncommon to have seven or eight children. The nobles can guarantee three meals a day for the farmers, but they don't have to guarantee three meals a day for the children of the farmers. .”
"So that's what happened."
Charlotte nodded.
"So Platinum, you are already very lucky."
Platinum didn't answer Charlotte's words, but just blinked and looked at Charlotte's face.
"Because I, as your family member, can guarantee you three meals a day. There are six people in our family now, but I have never made you guys hungry, have I?"
"That's because none of us can eat as much as Mrs. Margaret..."
Platinum complained to Charlotte in a low voice.
"Well, even if we are all as edible as Mrs. Margaret, the master seems to be able to afford it."
"Isn't that necessary?"
Charlotte scratched Platinum's lovely little Joan's nose.
"I'm a capable man."
"I said you two are really enough."
It would be tiring not to get on the carriage, but also to be timid in the carriage. Shi Huaiya had every reason to suspect that Charlotte and Platinum were deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
"Butler Almond, you can also say a few words, don't let them continue to distribute dog food."
"Ah...Miss Swire, I..."
Butler Almond thought to himself, I can't afford to offend any of you. I originally thought about talking later, but now I can't do without talking.
"Viscount Charlotte, do you think these peasants are a bit pitiful?"
Now that things have happened, Butler Almond can only change the subject bluntly.
"It's pretty pitiful."
Charlotte casually replied to Butler Almond.
"Going out in this kind of weather, it's easy to be frozen out of trouble."
"But if you ask these farmers, Viscount Charlotte, they will tell you that their favorite season must be winter."
Butler Almond replied.
"Among the four seasons of the year, what they look forward to most must be winter."
"Winter must be your favorite?"
Charlotte was startled.
"Could it be because winter is the harvest season?"
"Not really."
Butler Almond shook his head.
"It's for other reasons."
Chapter 181 Chapter 170 Chapter [-] Winter
If Charlotte had to evaluate which season he disliked the most, it would definitely be winter.
In her previous life, Xia Luo lived in a small county in the south of China. It was a small county whose urban construction was far inferior to that of a big city.Whenever winter comes, it is his most painful moment.
If we only talk about the temperature, the winter temperature in the north of China must be lower than that in the south, but the biggest problem is that it will rain in the south in winter.
The dry cold in the north is a physical attack, and the wet cold in the south is a magical attack.In the face of physical attacks, as long as your armor is high enough and you wear enough clothes, basically there will be no problem, but in the face of wet and cold magic attacks, even if you wear enough clothes, it will be too painful the cold.
Not to mention that central heating is generally available in winter in the north, while winter in the south can only rely on more exercise.
So whenever winter comes, Charlotte will definitely pray that it will not rain.
You must know that in the small county where he lives, as long as it rains, the sewer pipes will be blocked, and then the streets will be flooded with water.Therefore, whenever it rains in winter, Charlotte must be extra careful when going to work, because if one does not pay attention, it is very likely that the shoes will be full of water, and then his pair of size 45 will be tortured by the wet and cold rain. big feet.
