After the Legend Chapter 53: Hubert Junior


Xiao Tianjian didn't answer. The little brother and sister didn't seem to be his opponents, but now that the ship has left the shore, they are alone in the sea, and the other party's people are on the ship. It is better to be more careful. Not alone here. He gave his little granddaughter a wink. Ming Na had been with him for a long time, and she had a tacit understanding. She walked behind him knowingly, paying attention to the crew walking around, in case they suddenly attacked.

"Hehehe..." Bianka laughed, "Did you misunderstand something, Earl Xiao? Do you think we will be bad for you and this little sister?"

Hubert also laughed: "You don't have to guard us like this, although my father once complained to you, but he has forgotten about it later. Thanks to you, he has a better life after leaving the family. What?"

"Yes, yes, he was demoted to Gutenberg to take care of several small family properties. He had a hard time for a few years at first, but since he met our mother, he has been very happy." Enka covered her chest with her hands, as if remembering some good memories, "My mother is also a noble family, and an only daughter. After she married her father, she has been loving and loving. People who know them say that they are the most beautiful couple in the world. That's right."

"Isn't it? At the beginning, the brothers of the Bowie family fought fiercely for the right of inheritance. After my father left, they instead inherited the huge inheritance of their grandfather's family with my mother. Their husband and wife also worked together to make the family business more prosperous. In contrast, my uncles fought for life and death in Yidong, causing the Bowie family to not be what they used to be. My father once said that if it wasn't for Earl Xiao, he wouldn't be so happy back then." Hugh. With a sincere expression on his face, Burt made an inviting gesture: "It's windy outside, let's go to the cabin?" Seeing that Xiao Tianjian didn't move, he blinked his right eye at Ming Na: "The lovely lady is going ahead. How about coming? The people working on the deck are rude and stinking with sweat. It's not suitable for a little lady like you to stay here."

Ming Na didn't know when she became a little lady. She had long been used to being with ordinary people and didn't feel anything, so she secretly glanced at her grandpa.

Xiao Tianjian didn't fully believe what the brothers and sisters said, but they didn't have murderous intent, and there was no hatred in their eyes, just a bit of sarcasm. And he knew about the downfall of the Bowie family due to sibling rivalry. After thinking about it, he didn't dodge any more, and followed Hubert's words, and took his little granddaughter into the cabin.

The cabin is luxuriously furnished, fur carpets, cherry wood furniture, embroidered pillows, silver cutlery, colorful porcelain teacups, gilded copper crystal wall lamps, velvet curtains with long fringes, not much like the living room furnishings of ordinary noble houses The difference, at most, is the addition of a fixed device. More than a dozen young, beautiful and smart maids filed in, serving the master and guests, cleaning their hands, pouring tea, and then serving all kinds of exquisite refreshments. They are all graceful figures, wearing light blue silk dresses and white gauze aprons, soft hats trimmed with lace, and satin shoes. With a pursed mouth and a sweet smile, he sent a few autumn spinach to his young master.

Hubert warmly entertained the guests, but this did not prevent him from occasionally taking the time to respond to the enthusiasm of the maids, holding his tender little hands, lightly touching the two lower backs, inadvertently rubbing his thighs, blinking A blink of his navy blue eyes made the maids blushed, but they continued to do their jobs as if nothing had happened... Bianka sat beside him, drinking tea elegantly, and persuaded Xiao Tianjian to get along with him. Minna tasted the dim sum and turned a blind eye to her brother's actions.

The first time Ming Na saw the manners of the East nobles, she was a little restrained, but she had already received a hint from her grandfather, and she did not touch the tea and snacks at all, just sat cautiously, and the pair of brothers and sisters in the weather I exchanged opinions with the scenery of the coral island, and occasionally mentioned interesting things I encountered on the island. I wanted to have a good chat, but because grandpa coughed inadvertently, she stopped her mouth.

She made it too obvious. Brother and sister Bao Wei understood Xiao Tianjian's intentions almost immediately. They smiled at each other and ignored the past. Silence, they can also chat and laugh with each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere, but this harmony seems a little weird.

At dinner, the Bowers and sisters also served many delicious meals, including baked conch, grilled squid, fried fish steak, seafood bisque, beef stew, fruit cake, and even raw oysters with lemon juice . When the latter came to the table, Hubert very enthusiastically asked Xiao Tianjian to taste more, Xiao Tianjian smiled and said: "You are so polite, but Mingna and I have eaten too much fish and shrimp these days, and I have some stomach problems. It's better to eat something light. It's a pity that I can't taste the food this time. When we get ashore, we must invite the two of you to have a good meal."

Hubert said regretfully: "It's a pity, but it's our honor to be invited by the famous gourmet Count Xiao, and we eagerly look forward to that day coming soon." He nodded politely, Then he swallowed the food in his mouth with great enjoyment, sighed softly, turned his head and talked to his sister about how fresh and delicious the oysters are today, and got a response that the grilled squid was also very fragrant. Xiao Tianjian secretly scolded the two little devils for being mean.

Minna looked at the food on the other side of the table, then looked back at the bread, jerky, and fruit that she brought in front of her, and nibbled at it.

The wind at sea is getting stronger and the sky is getting darker. Their ship was not heading towards Doro Port as Xiao Tianjian originally thought, but heading towards Gutenberg in the east. It was the harbour city south of Easter and the home of the Bowes brothers and sisters. However, because the ship was sailing against the wind, the sail was lowered shortly after leaving the island, and as the wind and waves increased, the cabin gradually swayed.

In the dark night, the hull of the ship made a creaking sound, the light in the hall was bright and dim, people could clearly hear the objects sliding on the cabin floor, and the crew members shouted from the deck. Trouble, one of the masts was knocked down by the wind.

Listening to the wind outside, Ming Na somehow remembered the scene of encountering a storm in the desert, and nervously tugged on the sofa handle. But Bianka, as if nothing happened, still smiled and asked her an interesting story about her school days in the Magic City. Her brother was also very calm, and even the maid who was standing by the side and waiting for orders did not panic, but her face was a little pale. Seeing them like this, Minna gradually relaxed and was able to chat with Bianka.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the chandeliers and candles on the candlestick were blown out, leaving the cabin in darkness. Ming Na only heard a small cry from a maid, but she soon became quiet. She took out a magic lamp from her bracelet, which instantly illuminated the situation in the hall. Hubert smiled and nodded to her, and clapped his hands. Several maids came out with oil lamps with glass covers, and the cabin was bright.

Bienka yawned a little: "Brother, it's boring, do you have any entertainment?" The casual attitude seems to be that she is not on a boat that is hit by a strong wind, but by the tea table in her backyard .

Hubert brushed his hair and turned to Xiao Tianjian: "Earl Xiao, do you have any good suggestions? Why don't we find something to do?"

Xiao Tianjian had a little appreciation for the young couple, not only because they were cheeky as usual in the face of cold faces, but also because they were able to maintain a calm demeanor in such a storm, and dared to The courage to face the enemy directly is hard to come by. He felt a little regretful in his heart, why was such an outstanding child born by that Bowie?

"Let's talk, in this case, I'm afraid it's not convenient to do anything." Xiao Tianjian spoke to each other for the first time after knowing the true identities of the brothers and sisters, "You have said that Ling Zun is He passed away ten years ago. I don't know why? To be honest, although I had some feuds with him when I was young, it was a rare acquaintance. By the way, is Lingtang in good health?"

"My father died unfortunately in a storm while out at sea, and my mother died of illness five years ago." Bianka smiled lightly.

Xiao Tianjian paused and looked at Hubert: "So...you guys were very young...you mentioned before that your family's jewelry business was doing a lot, could it be that you are in charge?" I don't know why , he thinks it is very likely.

The blond boy raised his chin with a smile: "I made you laugh, I am far worse than you." Although his mouth was very modest, his tone contained strong confidence.

Ming Na's eyes widened, and she secretly calculated the calculations in her heart. This brother and sister were only in their teens, how old were ten years ago, five years ago... This big brother with a less serious attitude is at most ten years old. One or two years old, not much older than she is now, but it is not easy to be able to manage the family business.

But admiration is admiration. She thinks of his interactions with those maids, but she finds it a little annoying. She had seen Wise do that to Luba before, but Wise was always serious to other girls, but this Hubert flirted with more than a dozen girls at the same time, which must be what people often say. Playboy, right? She glanced at him and flattened her mouth in disdain.

Xiao Tianjian talked about business history with Hubert. The more they talked, the more he admired him. Just thinking of his father, he secretly felt a pity. , and his true thoughts on his father's past. Hubert always responded with a smile, but he was not leaking, and he took the opportunity to get a lot of benefits for himself.

When the ship finally sailed into Gutenberg Harbor after two days of sailing, Xiao Tianjian could only smile to say goodbye to the Bowie brothers and sisters. After pulling his granddaughter and turning around and walking into the street, he Then his face changed: "Stinky boy! If you don't learn well at a young age, you play with women, play tricks, and you dare to beat me?! Sure enough, there is such a kind of father as what kind of son..."

He was begged for a lot of favors by the young man one day and one night, and he also agreed to let the other party establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Gutenberg Xiao family branch to do jewelry business. The discounts provided made his heartache. And what he gained was only the information that the other party did not intend to take revenge.

Ming Na patted him on the back lightly, which was comforting, but she admired the thought that the dude could make grandpa eat turtles.

They moved into Gutenberg's Xiao family branch, and the people here didn't give Minna a look, because the steward Little Jones was her grandmother Mei Li's younger brother. Back then, Mei Li was pregnant with Xiao Tianjian's flesh and blood, which put her family in an embarrassing situation, and soon the whole family was sent to Gutenberg. There is only a medium-sized manor in Cardo, and the Jones family with a large population is not in a good situation. Xiao Tianjian bought a house here more than ten years ago. When he later converted the house into a branch, he discovered the plight of his former lover's family. Promoted to Director of Gutenberg Branch a few years ago.

This is probably the reason why Anlong spared the Gutenberg caravan when he was embarrassing the caravans of the various branches of the Xiao family.

However, Ming Na felt that although the uncle was not too close to her, she was a little confused.

The storm lasted for many days, during which time Ming Na could only stay in the branch house with her grandfather, reviewing the knowledge of potions and magic, and occasionally practicing swordsmanship. When they are bored, there are also old people in the branch who can provide all kinds of gossip and gossip. Among them, there is the story of the Bowie family.

It turned out that the old Bowie was exiled to Gutenberg and suffered for six or seven years. It was not until he accidentally saved the life of Miss Chelsea Viscount family that he had good luck. Fifty kilometers north of Gutenberg, the Viscount Chelsea has a large farmland and river, fertile land, and a silver mine. As a prestigious family, the Chelsea family has amazing wealth and low-key behavior. Except for one daughter, there are no other heirs. Therefore, the young and beautiful Chelsea Viscountess is the first choice for the nearby noble family to marry. Old Bowie did not know how lucky he was to marry this young lady who was ten years younger than him, and he lived a better life than when he was the heir to the Bowie family.

I wonder if it was because he was lucky or not. When he was out at sea ten years ago, he accidentally encountered a storm and sank to his death. After his death, his brothers also came to "comfort" his wife and children with bad intentions for the property, but the Chelsea heiress was obviously not a weak one, and drove them all away. Five years ago, Miss Chelsea passed away, and the Bowie family came again. This time, Hubert, who was only eleven years old, showed wisdom and courage far beyond his peers. After five years of propping up the family business, the Bowie-Chelsea family (which was the brother and sister's real surname) was more prosperous than his parents were.

After listening to this, Ming Na just thought that the **** was very powerful~IndoMTL.com~ but Xiao Tianjian admired the boy even more. After the storm, Hubert personally went to the branch to discuss the previously agreed deal. When Xiao Tianjian talked to him, he learned that he had already had a private transaction with the branch before, but little Zhong Si did not make a big splash because of the old affairs. This transaction only expanded the share of the business and turned the relationship between the two companies to the bright side. However, the Chelsea family's jewelry store could take the opportunity to officially introduce their pearls, corals, shells, silver and other jewelry to the Ito aristocracy, and openly use the channels of the Xiao family's business to open up the situation in the palace.

Xiao Tianjian didn't blame Xiao Zhongsi for his self-assertion. After talking about the business, he invited Hubert to lunch, chatted for an hour after the meal, and played a little game of swordsmanship. The blond boy's skills Naturally, he was far worse than him, but he was quite good among his peers, and he enthusiastically pointed out a few words to the other party. Hubert seemed to realize his appreciation for himself, just smiled, still calmly responding without changing his color.

But Ming Na was a little depressed. As soon as the guests left, she took out her sword and pestered her grandfather to teach her swordsmanship. She is his granddaughter.

Late summer in the southern part of the continent is always full of storms and ships throughout the port are reluctant to travel. Xiao Tianjian originally planned to continue his journey north. Seeing this situation, he did not want to go overland in the wind and rain, so he discussed with Ming Na and stayed at Gutenberg for the time being.

It was late autumn when they set off again north. The sun was still shining in Gutenberg, but the further north the ship went, the colder it got. When she arrived in Manado, Minna had changed into a full Easter-style woolen dress with thick white socks on her feet. She was not used to wearing Shaonan's gauze skirt and vest for many years, and then changing into Easter's clothes again.
