Vol 7 Chapter 14: Normezi

On the street of the old school in Valladolid, a still-looking face appeared in the window on the second floor of an old building.
This teenager, about ten years old, with fluffy black curly hair and a face that has not completely eliminated the baby's fat makes this child look very cute, especially his slightly fat body and fleshy hands , Giving a very pleasing impression.
This child has been standing in front of this window where he can see the crossroads in the distance for a long time, or it should be said that he has climbed upstairs to the window almost every day for a while since most of the year But they were all disappointed to find that the person he waited for never appeared.
This made him very frustrated, so although he seemed to be full of hope, but because of anxiety, he could only bulge his fat face again and again.
"Alonso," a middle-aged woman stood under the window and yelled upstairs, "Come down and eat, or your brother, they will grab the fish pie."
The boy looked out the probe from the window and seemed to hesitate to go downstairs to eat or continue to look around, but after seeing the silhouettes that appeared from time to time on the street in the distance, he was immediately "next may appear" The idea prevailed.
"Mom, you eat it first, just leave it for me." The boy said, looked up again and looked away. He stubbornly hoped to see the person he wanted to see in the next second.
"Your child, really stubborn." The mother's helpless wave was considered irrelevant. She said that she had always been wondering how this son was so stubborn among several of her children.
"It will come, it is coming." The boy stood stubbornly at the window and looked at the crossroads in front of Laoxueshe Street. Although his stomach was already screaming, he always wanted to think about it because of that thought in his heart. Wait.
In the living room downstairs, the family sitting at the table is eating dinner. In addition to the fish sauce and meat pie, there are several cold dishes marinated in salt and vinegar, although it is not very good to eat this season. Good choice, but the family wants to eat.
"You have to persuade Alonso," the hostess suddenly said to her husband, looking at a few children who couldn't help but stop to look at her. The hostess cut a piece of meatloaf for each of them before they were right. The husband who kept eating dumb continues to say, "That's not okay. He took the person's words too seriously. In fact, we all know that the person may just lie to him, but he doesn't think so, think about how long it has been, that person has never News, maybe he had forgotten about Alonso long ago. It ’s no wonder that after all, he was only a few years old at that time, who would keep his promise to a child. I think you will take him to the lumber yard tomorrow, I heard The Queen is recruiting workers everywhere to build a big ship. His age is almost enough to lay hands on people, so that he can at least provide more subsidies to the family. "
The man stopped the action of stuffing food in his mouth. He first licked the meat left on his fingers with his mouth, then looked up silently at his wife, and said after a while: "Wait again, just wait For half a year, Alonso was still young. When he was 13 years old, I would take him to the logging yard. During this time, let him work at home and take care of your siblings. "
The woman was a little annoyed, but when she saw that her silent husband had a bad face, she dared not say more, but the movements in her hands were heavier, especially when the man asked her for a second glass of wine. The woman let go of the glass with too much force, the glass made a "bang" on the table, and the wine sprinkled out.
"What are you doing, put your face on me ?!" The man suddenly broke out. He stood up and grabbed the glass and waved the wine on his wife's face. At the same time, regardless of the few children next to him, he was immediately scared and his voice was lowered. Weng Sheng said in an angry voice, "Don't think he was born of you and blamed my son. My son has the ability. He will become a great person in the future. If you dare to delay his future, I can't spare you, you know?"
The woman nodded in horror. She knew that her husband was grumpy. If he really annoyed him, he would suffer.
But she also felt wronged, thinking about her son's stubborn adherence to the meaningless hope, she was more worried that it might really delay his future after a long time.
When she thinks about this, the woman has found courage again. She wants to persuade her husband again, even if it really angered him, but at least try it for her son's future.
The woman opened her mouth, but before she could speak again, there was a loud cheer filled with joy and surprise suddenly from the originally quiet upstairs.
Then the boy named Aloso ran down the stairs awkwardly with two thick short legs, and he yelled nonstop while running: "Come! Here! The adult is here!" ! "
The boy's scream shocked the family downstairs. The couple looked at his son who was running downstairs, and his brothers and sisters immediately forgot their parents' sternness because of the unexpected behavior of the brother Shout and shout again.
The whole house was surprisingly lively for a time.
The boy ignored the noisy siblings. While still shouting to his parents, "Come, here!", He pushed a little rudely away from the brother in front of him, and ran towards the door.
Both husband and wife had accidents on their faces. They could guess what his son was saying, and they knew how he was looking forward to the man ’s arrival, only when they heard the son really shouting
coming here
, they But he began to wonder if it was true.
The boy opened the door, but before he walked out, a figure had stood outside the door and blocked the light behind him.
The boy could not help but take a step back, then looked up at the person with excitement.
But when he saw the man's face clearly, his fat and dull face suddenly stiffened, and then he was overwhelmed with panic.
"Why, Alonso, do not know me, or have you forgotten my promise to you?" The face under the half-silver mask tried to squeeze out a smile, and there was a trace of relief and joy in the eyes behind the eyes. "But I think you shouldn't forget it, or you won't come to meet me."
"Yes, Lord Normezi." The boy was a little overwhelmed. He learned how his father usually bowed and saluted when he saw those big men, but his fat belly made him look funny and funny, and then he Immediately turned back and looked at the father who had come behind him for help.
"Adult, it's really you."
The host, who was excited after the man ’s dress was a little surprised like the son, immediately went forward to salute, but when he took the man ’s hand to kiss, he could n’t help but because the man seemed to instinctively avoid the face A trace of embarrassment and annoyance after being humiliated, but he immediately repressed, and then yelled loudly and drove the other children back to their room upstairs, leaving only the wife and elder son with him full of expectations Looking at the man who had been invited to the house to eat at the table.
Normezi was indeed hungry. From Seville to Valladolid, he did not have a good rest along the way, nor did he have a decent meal, so when he saw the meals on the table, he Immediately walked over to sit down and grabbed a piece of fish meat pie bite.
Under the suggestion of the man, the woman poured a glass of wine for Normezi with some haste and placed it carefully beside him.
"Not bad." Normezi immediately took a drink and swallowed the food that was stuck in his throat because he was eating too fast. Then he let out a breath and began to eat slowly.
A family of three standing next to him just watched Normezi keep eating, until he finally put down the food he had eaten and burped, and drank up the rest of the wine before raising his head to look at them. .
Normezi's eyes first fell on the boy named Aloso. When he saw that he ran back upstairs while he was eating, Normezi couldn't help but smile.
"Look, our little genius is already an adult," Normezi reached out and patted the boy's shoulder hard, and then said to the child's father, "You can see that he has raised him well."
"Of course, lord, Alonso is our Belugat's hope for the future." The host replied with some pride, and then urged his son "Hurry up and show your latest work to the lord, let him know you have been Study hard. "
"Adult, I have been painting, as you said to me, as long as you keep painting until you are here."
The boy immediately handed a roll of canvas, and his eyes flashed with nervous light.
Normezi opened the canvas, and what he saw was a carbon pen sketch that was obviously still very childish, but even so, Normezi still showed surprise. He knew that this was called Alonso Belluguet. The boy is talented, and because of this, when he came to Iberia to meet this boy two years ago, he once said that if he was still learning to paint after two years, he would pay for him to go to the best art school in Rome. Further study.
It was only then that he was really just casually saying that after he came, although he did not forget the promise, he did not think that the boy could really persevere.
After all, although he has a very good talent, not only his family background is ordinary, but none of his family and relatives have the talents in this respect, so it is difficult to cultivate an artistic atmosphere and environment that can inspire him. It can be said that in such a family It is difficult to cultivate an artist.
But now Normezi cannot but admit that the geniuses have an extraordinary aspect, at least this name Alonso Berrugte surprised and surprised him.
"It really makes me feel incredible. You know that you are better than many people I have seen in much better conditions than you," Normezi looked at the chubby boy, and then he signaled the family to sit down with three people, just His next sentence changed the face of this family. "But I don't think you should follow me."
"I mean if your talents are pinned on me, it would be wasted. You need to know that a genius should have a wider world and a richer and generous patron," Normezi's mood suddenly fell a little. Touch the cheek gently with the left hand wearing a cloth glove, and then look at the face of a boy who looks full of health and liveliness. "I know some people, and their status is enough to let you be free in the court of any monarch in Europe. You can even recommend you to the pope. Of course, this requires you to be really talented, and they are very rich. They can provide you with the expenses for future study. They can also send you to those real masters to study. , I think I can give you to them. "
Normezi's words made the family's face from excitement to disappointment, from disappointment to excitement, and then even the women gave a cry of "God!" Because they couldn't hold it.
"All I said is true. Believe me, Aloso will become a great painter in the future." Normezi said to the couple with a smile. "But this time I will stay in Valladolid for a while. Time, I think you can let him follow me as my servant. I will pay you the wages. When the things I have done here are done, I will send him to Naples, and then the people I said will decide to take Which master did he send to study further. "
"Adult, you are so wonderful, I really don't know how to thank you." The woman said excitedly, obviously compared with waiting for her son to become a big painter in the future, Normezi promised to let his son work for him and make the woman happy. of.
The father who is next to him obviously thinks more, because he always believes that his son is talented, he is not willing to let his son work, because he does not want his son to be an ordinary person who has no future like himself, he hopes that his son will one day Achieving a career is precisely because, although his wife has been nagging more than once, he has never wavered in his determination to train his son.
"Don't thank me, this is probably the only good thing I've done in my life," Normezi said, his gaze falling on the sparse leaf in the soup plate in front of him, stunned. "Maybe it is God. It also forgave my crimes, allowing me to do clean things at least before I die. "
Normezi's words made the family look at each other. They didn't know what happened to the adult, but obviously his mood seemed to be bad, which made the family shut their mouths.
Seemingly realizing that the atmosphere has become dull because of himself, Normezi ’s eyes fell on the boy ’s painting again, and then deliberately sighed: "This is really a masterpiece of a little genius, but do you know what you are doing now? The painting is too naive, not because you did not paint well but because you have n’t really seen the masterpieces of those big painters. Only by regularly seeing the works of the masters can you learn to learn those real skills. "
"Yes, lord."
The boy nodded immediately, and he had been looking forward to this day for two years.
This boy named Alonso Bellugut could not forget how the nobleman from Naples had promised that he would take him to Naples to learn this matter if he insisted on learning painting two years ago.
Now the Count Julipe really came back, and actually promised to take him to Naples, which made Alonso Bellugut almost happy to forget the Count ’s inexplicable fear when he first met. , And the mask he has n’t taken off since he entered the house, and the gloves he did n’t take off even when eating.
As for the smell of the pollen mixed with a strong smell of strange pollen when sitting next to the count, the boy did not care at all.
"Tomorrow we will go to the royal palace, and I will go to see the two lords," Normezi said. "As for you, tomorrow I will go to the royal palace with me as my attendant."
Hearing this, the couple was still unable to conceal their excitement, and they immediately told their son to do their best to serve good adults.
Then the male master suddenly remembered something and said to Normezi: "But lord, you may not have come by accident. King Ferdinand returned to Zaragoza more than half a month ago to host the annual Virgin Remembrance Day. Now, only Her Majesty, and her daughter and son-in-law are in the palace. "
"That's really a coincidence, but who do you mean by daughter and son-in-law, as far as I know, the king and his wife have several daughters." Normezi asked with a hint of curiosity.
"It's Juana of Aragon, and her husband Philip." Speaking of which, a light appeared on the woman's face. "Adult, you are really late. If you can come a few months early, you can see It was the grand occasion when the couple came to Valladolid. "
"Oh, is it?" Normezi was curious.
"It was indeed a grand occasion," the man was also a little excited because of this topic. "The queen held a grand ceremony to greet her daughter and son-in-law. The entire parade was not even enough to circle around Valladolid. In order to hold a banquet, 20 cows were killed at once, and there were countless sheep and pigs. In addition, there were those big fish that were specially sent from the beach, which were all fresh. "
"But these are nothing," the woman seems to have forgotten about her husband's previous viciousness to her because of this. She said to Normezi "The most important thing is Princess Juana and Duke Philip. They are really For the most suitable couple, both of them are so beautiful as a miracle, especially Duke Philip. Now people call him beautiful Philip. Even some women start to envy him for having such a beautiful face ... "
"Your women just love these ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Men are impatiently interrupting their wives" Speaking of them, Princess Juana and her husband brought many Valladolids a job because the Queen built them A large palace was built. The project started two years ago, but until now the princess and wife have been here for half a year, but the house has not been built yet. "
"So, Philip lives in the palace?"
Normezzi regretted after asking casually, but he was secretly relieved to see that the couple apparently did not notice the flaw in the sentence he asked.
Think about it too, how could there be people like the Duke of Rome Tesia, even if just a random sentence could make him tempt something.
"Yes, the princess couple now lives in the palace, so if you go to the palace tomorrow, you should be able to see them." The host nodded and answered.
"Well, I will rest now," Normezi stood up and dragged his tired body towards the stairs. After a few steps, he stopped and turned back to the boy. "Don't forget to get up early tomorrow. Let's go to the palace together. "
