Heaven’s Intention

Time passed quickly, and it was December. It has been snowing.

On this day, with the early morning sun shining, the lord's manor of Romon gradually woke up from a deep sleep.

The servants who lived in the wooden house got up first. They lit the fire and actively prepared for the master to get up and breakfast. The guards also woke up and boarded the tower to replace the night shift.

Luo Meng got up, he looked at Alenny, she was still asleep, and she liked to sleep after pregnancy.

Standing quietly, after washing, put on a thick coat made of goat hair with wide sleeves, put a long tube on the feet, a metal buckle belt around the waist, and put on a cloak.

The cloak is made of otter skin, squirrel skin, sheepskin, rabbit skin, mink skin, **** skin, fox skin and silver rat skin, which is very warm.

When I arrived at the restaurant, a servant pushed in the dining car and brought it in with silver cutlery. Breakfast was generally simple. Mainly bread, fried eggs, bacon, accompanied by ale and fruit wine.

Having used breakfast, a pleasant and busy day began.

When he arrived at the living room, someone reported: "Adult, Lord Nick, Lord Vavik, and Mr. Lulun."

Entering the door and passing through a corridor is the living room. The floor of the living room is covered with cashmere blankets, which looks particularly soft and thick, and has a warm feeling.

The three of them came in and saluted. Romon waved his hand and did n’t sit on the desk. He said on the sofa: “No, we ’ll discuss things on the sofa.”

"Yes, Lord Viscount!" All three had the same glory for Romon to become Viscount.

In general, if there are no guests in the morning, the lord will summon servants and housekeepers to explain the day's work, and then discuss various matters in the territory with his staff.

Now it's different.

"Sir, according to your request, we have expanded the villa of the lord." Lu Lun said first, and took out a document: "Your vassal, and the nobles who are close to you, will soon bring the children."

Now, almost every vassal has a wife. There are also children, and according to the rules of this world, the lower vassals will generally send their sons to the higher princes to study.

This is not necessarily the meaning of hostages. In fact, the superior monarch has to bear the child support costs. Of course, this is also the meaning of cultivating a family.

Even a monarch and vassal, if they do not do so, they will often be estranged, and now each generation can cultivate feelings and loyalty.

This is the top priority of the noble family, and we must not be neglected.

"How old are you usually?" Romon asked.

"It's generally seven years old, and some are a little bit ahead, six years old." Lu Lun replied.

Unlike the grandiose children of nobility, this tradition of nobility can be considered far-sighted.

Children between six and seven years old will be sent to the castle or villa of the superior nobility, and he will become a servant.

"How about the course?"

"Adult, the course has basic martial arts training, feeding falcons, learning basic religious knowledge and daily life etiquette, and learning basic reading and writing, until the age of 14 to make a second choice."

"You tell me specifically about the situation." Romon said instructed.

"Yes, adults, their lives are as follows." Lu Lun answered, and now Romon is a Viscount. This can not be neglected.

It is an important means for many nobles and kings to increase their influence and expand their influence by recruiting the noble children who are lower than themselves to their subordinates. Some of them also set up schools to recruit noble young people to come to study and receive training.

Some kings also specifically ordered their vassals to send their sons to his court for training and training in preparation for the selection of excellent knights in the future.

Of course, bearing the cost of living for many obedient followers is not a small expense, but the obedient followers are not pure consumers. They also do many tasks other than military training every day, and those tasks are very hard.

These young servants, they are not here to enjoy, and the superior nobles will not condone and spoil them.

They must get up early every morning. The first thing is to hurry to the stables to take care of the horses, and carefully comb the horses with a comb. When the weather is hot, they have to bathe the horses.

On weekdays, the management and care of the owner's horses, such as feeding and drinking, are also done by him.

After finishing the work of the stable, he had to take snapshots to see the hounds and falcons.

After finishing his work on animals, he had to hurry to the master's room and carefully wait for the master who had just woken up to help the master dress.

If a guest comes to live in the castle, he will be responsible for the reception, helping to keep the weapons and taking care of the horses. When it's time for dinner, he is responsible for sounding the trumpet and sending out notifications, and preparing for hand washing, tables and chairs. During the host's meal, he stood behind the host and the lady, helping to deliver food, cutting meat and bread at any time. Pouring wine.

When the owner and other noble knights traveled, he followed the left and right to take care of the money and softness of the master. When the master participates in the contest or hunting, he must also prepare the master with weapons and equipment as before the battle, and take care of the horses.

He was busy until late at night, and he had to serve his master to undress and go to bed, taking care of horses, hounds and falcons. Finally, for safety reasons, he had to check every part of the castle before he could sleep in peace.

The life, work and training of noble teenagers are very difficult, and in the process of waiting for each call of the master, they learned humility.

"It's really good." Romon finished listening and appreciated the policy.

These children actually take on the jobs of servants and reserve soldiers, and basically do not create a bunch of waste.

Luo Meng thought for a while, and the instruction said: "Regarding knowledge and martial arts, we must systematize. Lu Lun, it is up to you to complete the systemization of this knowledge. I will complete the basic knowledge and etiquette education before the age of fourteen. You serve as an advisor to the relevant parties. "

"Yes, sir. Willing to serve you." Lu Lun was a little excited, but this is an important post.

"Knight Warwick, you are educated in martial arts. If appropriate, I will enlist them as a trainee knight when they are 18 years old."

Apprentice knights, also known as civilian knights, are generally noble warriors who have not reached level 5.

Or civilians who have reached Level 5 and do not have their own territories.

However, even an apprentice knight is a great honor. Although this title is not hereditary, it can last for life and is recognized by everyone.

"Yes, sir, I am willing to serve you." Vavik lowered his head calmly.

"Nick, you have to double my villa. Fortunately, there was room at the beginning, so that more children can be accommodated." Luo Meng said.

"Master, you can rest assured. I will take care of this. The children of Fafer and I have also been born. A few years later, we will join your castle and work for you." Nick said, with the status of Improving, the direct name is gradually canceled, and now it is all called adults.

People in this world believe that what children do in their childhood will bring them experience and prepare for their future lives. So in fact, these children will have a lot of work to do, but Nick does not feel distressed.

"Adult, you are only talking about boys. How about if they are girls?" Nick thought about it and asked, girls are still worth less than boys in this world. General noble families are not willing to afford girls in lower families.

"Similarly, this is handled by Eleanor, or the bells that come back. Girls can also choose knowledge and martial arts education, but they do n’t ask for it." Anyway, they have money, do n’t care about this, Romon said: "I will set up some etiquette , Cooking, family management subjects. Or contact several churches to visit and study regularly. "

"Yes, lord!"

The ladies of the noble family, unless they have the potential on the road of religion, mage, and knight, otherwise they only have to marry someone.

After this order was ordered, Romon was very happy, waved his hand, and said, "If there is nothing, go ahead! Or use Chinese food together?"

"Sir, I'll say goodbye first." Warwick said a knight salute.

After Warwick left, Lulun and Nick glanced at each other, and then said, "Master, do you remember Owena?"

"Owena!" Romon smiled when he heard the name: "Remember, she hasn't been here for a long time. Why, something?"

"Miss Owena has been insisting on exercise, but unfortunately there is no breakthrough. Now that she is 20 years old, her parents have issued an ultimatum and asked her to marry." Nick said with a bitter expression.

In this world, parents often want to decide the future of their daughters as soon as possible.

Men, especially older men, tend to marry young wives. This is not only an aspect, but more importantly, under the current standard of living, women, even noble women, marry at the age of 30 or over The probability of it will be very small, because the old age will limit the number of children they have and thus affect the reproduction of the family.

Therefore, girls in noble families will get married around 18 years old.

The future of most young women is not enviable. Because for an 18-year-old girl, the prospect of marrying a 30-year-old man is not attractive.

It would be even more frustrating to marry a 40-year-old widower.

If the girls get older, their "market value" will decrease.

No matter what, Owena is also a lady of nobility. There is no decent occupation to pursue. Of course, they cannot be a businessman or a craftsman. If this continues, Owena ’s only end is to go to church and remain single for life. .

"... What do she think?"

"She wants to go to the area of ​​the magic disaster, or fight to death, or break through." Nick said.

There was a silence ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Romon frowned.

Inadvertently, a girl's life is delayed.

Luo Meng's heart was tight.

But now, he is not very willing to marry a third wife, his love is very stingy, it is enough to share two.

"Adult, she went to the disaster area like this. Even if she succeeded, her life will be very difficult. A single female knight?" Lu Lun said disapprovingly: "I know she is very affectionate to you, but I can't pull it for a while. As long as you agree, I think she will eventually marry you. "

After a pause, she said, "She loves you. It's not easy for the nobles to find a wife who loves them. Moreover, if you let her go this time, no matter what, the result will be a tragedy, three years. Almost there, you seize the opportunity and marry, unless you want to marry the count, even the duke and the king. "

After hearing this, Luo Meng appeared a bitter smile, and a beautiful and stubborn girl appeared, her eyes implied affection, at this moment, he was a bit dazed, for a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "OK Come to her parents. "
