After the Legend Chapter 194: Old people

As soon as she heard the news, Ming Na was surprised at first, and then she felt a little complicated. She had not seen the royal family of Norga, whom she once regarded as a friend for nearly three years. She has grown up. And what has he become?

I haven't been in contact with the security agency for a long time, so all the information she can get about Nuojia is brought back from Maicheng by businessmen. She only knows that Nuojia has experienced several times in the country.** , Now that the situation has stabilized, the king's side has the upper hand. Because of the stain of defeat in the past, Jada has not yet become the official crown prince, but in terms of qualifications and prestige, he is undoubtedly the leader of the younger generation of the Norga royal family. I believe he will It is only a matter of time before becoming the next king

But Minna always remembers that when she escaped and returned to Siko, she heard Jada say on that street corner: "No, he is not my friend, but my enemy" She In order to help him, he was even suspected by Goodwin and other compatriots. He thought they were friends and shouldn't mind. I didn't expect that the other party didn't consider herself a friend from beginning to end, so is the friendship she made in the past meaningless?

Alex carefully observed the changes in Minna's expression, and asked softly, "He's here, aren't you happy? After all, you were friends too"

Ming Na flat-mouthed: "Who is his friend? I'm his enemy!" After a pause, she said, "Forget it, since our two countries are no longer hostile, he came to think that I was already In death, I don't need to recognize him, lest he be depressed"

Alex smiled slightly, and felt that this matter was not worth discussing further, so he threw it aside

But Minna thought of another thing: "Strange, why did he suddenly come to pay a state visit? Could it be..." Could it be that after he brought the domestic situation under control, he had another country's idea? Minna suddenly became vigilant

The ambition to expand the territory is engraved in the bones of the members of the Nuojia royal family. It is impossible to give up easily because of a loss. What's more, the current Nuojia still needs to survive even if there is food from East and Shaonan Aid Nuojia is still a country with underdeveloped agriculture. In order to develop its national strength without any constraints, it must get rid of its dependence on other countries' food. Nuojia will never stop its expansion. The difference is only in the length of time

Alex also frowned slightly when he heard the words. Before he could express his opinion, Ming Na had already put on a cute and curious smile, and asked the businessman who was talking at the table: "Uncle, why promise? The Duke of Chia is visiting our country? Is it to celebrate May Day?"

Several merchants laughed: "Of course not! The Nuojia people don't seem to be used to celebrating the May Day. They are here for our king's birthday. His Majesty the king will turn sixty years old in June this year. But it's something worth celebrating. I heard that Shaonan Fan'a and Kameijia will send missions here! Even the Prince Weisha who was in exile in Shaonan will come." Really? ! "Minna's surprise was not fake," but didn't His Majesty say that there is no plan to hold a grand celebration this year? Because the war has only passed a few years, the people need to rest and recuperate. I heard that the king also specifically ordered that no large-scale exhortation activities should be carried out in all parts of the country, and the lords were not allowed to increase taxes in the territory in the name of this, and they were not allowed to use this as a name. How about asking for any kind or money? I didn't expect other countries to send embassies."

"Your Majesty the great and merciful king!" one of the merchants raised a glass and shouted before laughing, "The king does not plan to hold a grand celebration for our sake, but his sixtieth birthday is impossible to follow. It's over at will! There is only one sixtieth birthday in one's life! Besides, we East has made such a great contribution to the peace of the mainland, and it is not right for other countries to send people to celebrate our king's day. Said, "The May Festival is coming soon. In order to give us merchants a chance to make a fortune, His Majesty announced only the day before yesterday that a large market will be held for ten days after the May Festival. Merchants only need to register. You can get a stall in the market place to do business, and ordinary civilians can also sell their products at home. They only need to pay one-tenth of their income as taxes after the market is over! This is our great opportunity! Think about how many people will come to the market with May Day and the King's birthday celebration! The man raised his wine glass, and his companions also stood up to toast to the void. The surrounding diners also responded to Ming Na's answer when they saw it, and echoed with a smile. Alex left the restaurant with the horse

When she arrived at the quiet and less crowded corner, she said, "I thought there would be no king's birthday celebrations this year. I didn't expect that other countries have sent embassies to congratulate them. I'm afraid it will be bigger than in previous years!"

Alex smiled slightly: "The second most important thing is whether it is grand or not... Arranging security work for the capital staff of the market place, etc. There are many and complicated things, and it involves multiple forces in Ito Castle. I am afraid the nobles The next few meetings of the parliament will focus on the arrangement of the two celebrations. Even if some nobles are not interested in this kind of carnival activities with civilians as the protagonists, they will be attracted by the foreign embassies in the visiting places.”

Ming Na suddenly realized: "So it is! As long as the attention of the noble council is diverted, His Majesty the King will have time to deal with the Crown Prince's affairs, it will take at least two and a half months before and after the May Day and June birthday celebrations. Time! When the matter is over, His Royal Highness's wounds are healed, are you still afraid of the Queen's tricks?!"

Alex nodded: "It seems that this is His Majesty's intention. I remember that at the beginning of the year, a ceremonial official asked the king if he would invite members of the royal family to participate in the birthday. The king rejected the proposal on the grounds that he did not want to make a lot of things this year. Therefore, various countries later decided to send only a few messengers to congratulate us, even though we didn't hear any news before. I didn't expect to see foreign messengers flying on the streets of Wangcheng so flamboyantly today

Minnazhe and Alex looked at each other and smiled

She stretched her waist and said: "It seems that His Majesty the King already has a way to deal with the battle for the crown prince. Jada's visit is not for some sinister purpose, so we don't need so much!" She slapped her palm, "two consecutive What about the Moon Festival! Is it possible for your father's marriage to be postponed?"

Alex froze and smiled: "Do you remember this?"

"Of course I remember, don't you care?" Ming Na pushed him, "Come on, is it possible to do something?"

Alex bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "Yes, but it doesn't work much, but I remembered another thing... Maybe it's the best way to solve the problem fundamentally"

Ming Na is puzzled: "How can it be called a fundamental solution to the problem?"

"Don't worry about this." Alex took the reins from her hand, "you'll know soon anyway" after a pause, then added: "It should be soon"

Ming Na stared at him and pulled back the reins: "I'm not interested if I don't say it

They strolled the street for a while, and then Mingna caught a glimpse of a white building not far ahead that was heavily shaded by trees. After realizing where it was, she slowed down, glanced at the house, and then lowered her head to stare at her shoes. Jian, hesitating whether to go or not

"What's wrong?" Alex immediately noticed her change, "What's that place?"

Ming Na pursed her lips and didn't answer, she just pulled him up and walked closer to the house, then she coughed twice, released her hand, put on a bright smile on her face, and ran up briskly. He smiled at the white-haired old man who was pruning the branches and leaves at the door: "Grandpa Marshall, I've come to Yidong, it's been a long time, you're healthy

The old man turned his head slowly and squinted at her for a while before smiling: "Ah... it's Xiao Mingna, when did you come? How are your parents?"

"They were all fine just arrived yesterday" Ming Na took the big scissors in his hand "Let me help you? How is your health? I brought you a few bottles of medicine, you drink one every day, very good It'll be fine soon"

"Really? Then thank you" Marshall took back the scissors with a smile, "I don't need your help, I just cut casually"

At this time, another young man came and greeted Marshall from a distance: "Grandpa Marshall! I'm here again! How have you been recently?"

"Ah... it's... enjoyment, right? How is the work? It's going well

"Very good, I just got a salary increase!" The young man took out a crutch to see if it was suitable? "

Marshall took it and took a closer look: "It's so beautiful, thank you." He leaned on and walked a few steps, nodding repeatedly: "It's good to use," He glanced at the candy box wrapped in the young man's hand, and smiled : "It's all in the house, everyone is almost here, come in quickly"

"Okay!" The young man walked briskly into the house, "Come on too!"

Minna was a little curious: "Grandpa Marshall, what are you doing?"

Marshall said with a smile: "There are two children in the orphanage who have their birthdays today. We held a celebration for them, and many people came to participate. You are here too

Not waiting for Minna to answer, someone else came, a young man in his twenties supported an old woman, smiled and stood in front, greeting Marshall Marshall's eyes softened when he saw them: "Come on. Is your foot still sore?"

The old woman shook her head: "I'll be fine a long time ago. It's because these children are worried that they won't let me go out." She turned her head and smiled at the young man: "I'm here, you can go to work in peace." The young man He hugged her gently and said, "Then I'll go back to the office first, and I'll pick you up again tonight, you must be careful" and handed the bag in her hand to her: "Don't drink, don't be tired, Remember to walk less, Uncle Marshall, please take care of her." Marshall nodded, and he left with confidence

The old woman sighed helplessly: "He's gone, but I'm actually tough." Marshall softly persuaded her: "They just care about you"

Ming Na smiled and greeted the old woman: "Mother Luna, do you remember me?"

The old woman looked at her suspiciously, a little uncertain: "Are you... Ming... Minnie?"

"My name is Minna" Minna jumped in front of her, "Don't you remember? I used to be a guest at your house"

"Really?" The old woman Luna was a little embarrassed, "I'm getting old, and my memory is getting worse and worse, are you a friend of Vasily? That child! Always busy with work, and even has very little home Come back, come over when you are free

Minna opened her mouth, caught sight of the eyes Marshall gave her, and agreed casually, who quickly drew Luna's attention: "What's in your bag? Did you make **** again? You Ai is too fond of them, what if they have tooth decay?"

Luna said, "It's only today. What's the matter with the children's birthdays and making them something they like to eat? You are just too much!"

Two small heads appeared in the room. When they saw Luna, they cheered. Then they called their friends and a dozen children ran out together. They took Marshall and Luna into the room. The fragrant handbag entered the restaurant in a hurry, shouting to share the delicious food, so that Marshall stopped drinking in a hurry, but Luna stopped him from teaching the boys to laugh and laugh in the house, and they looked a little lonely. /

Alex asks softly, "Are you... sad?"

Ming Na bit her lip and shook her head: "Although... Grandpa Marshall doesn't hurt me as much as before, but he is very happy now, very happy, that's enough

She was really sad, but Grandpa Marshall, who wasted half his life for his grandmother Mei Li, was finally able to put aside the past and have a life of his own. Looking at the happy smile on his face, her sadness was worth it what?

They found Marshall's office, threw a bag of gold coins into the donation box and left the medicine and instructions for the two elderly people, and quietly left the orphanage

Ming Na was feeling a little depressed. When Alex accompanies her aimlessly wandering around in the evening, Ming Na was startled. She originally wanted to help her friends find a place to live, but ended up wasting her time. , she apologized to her friends ashamedly: "I'm sorry...I have delayed your time because of my business..."

Alex raised his chin arrogantly and said, "Idiot! Do you think a place worthy of my status is so easy to find? I didn't intend to find a house within today anyway. I have to go to the inn first to make do with one night, it has nothing to do with you at all!"

Although he knew he was comforting himself, why was his face so flat? Ming Na rolled her eyes secretly and said, "I see! I'll accompany you to find it tomorrow, okay?" Kes snorted arrogantly and grabbed her arm before walking forward, "Now first Help me find a good inn, it should be clean and comfortable, convenient to travel, and the location should not be too conspicuous, so as not to be discovered by my father too early!"

"Hey, let go, I'll go by myself!" Ming Na hummed and was half pulled and half dragged away

Before the sun went down, they finally found a medium inn in a remote neighborhood near the downtown area. The owner of the inn has more than 30 years of experience. , and I booked a room with satisfaction

Ming Na rode back to the mansion in Cardo. When she entered the door, she happened to meet Aunt Lilith who was sending a few ladies out. She pretended to be a lady again, and after greeting them, she slipped into the house, and faintly heard that Several women were whispering about "the daughter of an illegitimate child" behind her, and she pouted, but didn't refute, it's not that she didn't hear such words anyway

Back to the room, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Melissa standing there with a stern face, her mood suddenly turned bad: "What are you doing here?"

"I will always be at your command," Melissa answered dryly, her eyes hurriedly glanced at Ming Na, and she was suddenly proud, "Miss Ming Na, a noble lady must always pay attention to her words and deeds, how can you be so careless

Ming Na was inexplicable when she heard this. She looked down at herself and suddenly realized it. She quickly took out her magic wand and turned the grass green skirt back to red, and said, "Thank you for reminding me."

Melissa's eyes widened: "This...how could your skirt..."

"It's just a little magic" Ming Na smiled, "My mother once said that a noble lady must always pay attention to what she wears. Sometimes, in order to match the environment, you can make a small change in the dress to be a noble lady. Skills that should be mastered! After all, changing a set of clothes when you go to a place is not something that a noble lady should do." She read the words "noble lady" with special emphasis, and Melissa's face turned pale when she heard it. , reluctantly whispered "you're right", then hurriedly backed away, completely forgetting that she was here to "wait for orders"

Minna closed the door with a cold snort~IndoMTL.com~ slandered the quality of Cardo's maid in her heart. When she used to pretend to be a maid, she would not be so blind. This Melissa is really experienced The senior maid was there, and Beryl didn't come back either. Only Lilith, Manda and Minna ate the broth consciously, but she didn't take a bite. Lilith asked her blankly what she did today, and she casually said After two sentences, the former didn't say anything, just glanced at Ming Na, and suddenly said, "I heard that you are not satisfied with the maid I sent, what's the matter? Melissa has served me for more than ten years. Now, she has never made me angry, is there something wrong with her etiquette?"

Minna paused and swept away Melissa, who was standing behind Lilith for some time. I don't know much about the etiquette and customs of Ito. My habit is that servants will never touch me without my permission. Things, whether it's clothes, books, shoes, socks... or jewelry"

Melissa immediately interjected: "I didn't touch your jewelry! Miss Minna"

"That's because you don't know where I put them" Minna casually broke a piece of bread, "but you opened my drawer and turned it over don't tell me you're looking for shoes for me Thought you'd put your belt there!"

"Enough!" Lilith gave Melissa a sharp look before she said coldly to Ming Na, "Since Melissa can't satisfy you, I'll send someone else, if not this time. I'll be driven back by you again!"

Ming Na is noncommittal, as long as the maid sent is not arrogant, she is still very easy to get along with

But when she saw the new maid, she was still surprised. That face and eyes were all very familiar. She couldn't hide the doubts in her heart: "You...you

The gray-haired maid saluted her with a smile: "Good night, Miss Minna, my name is Marcy, Marcy.
