"Yeah, lord, An Qilei, they will both enter the army in the future, and Lord Gail is a member of the command department!" Villa also persuaded.
The count was silent, and Villa's words were at the heart.
Whether they are Matthew, Anqilei or Dayar, they will all serve in the army in the future. This is the sacred responsibility of the noble children. Although with their power, under normal circumstances, the children return to the family after exercising in non-hazardous positions after entering the army. But if Gael, who is in the command department, has a view of the three Matthews, he can mobilize the three children to a dangerous place in one sentence, such as the Ganglu War Fortress behind the Shining City, which is the most effective against the orcs. front.
If this happens, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to all three. Cultivation of heirs cannot be completed in a day or two, and the loss of excellent heirs to the family is no less than the accidental death of the owner.
Listening to the sincere persuasion of the two Viscounts, the Earl's casual expression gradually disappeared, replaced by dignity and seriousness, and light wrinkles appeared again on the smooth forehead.
This is the case, even if he is an earl with a noble royal lineage, he must consider the safety of the heir. What's more, Matthew is by far the best child in his family.
A strong body, handsome face, smart mind, elegant words and deeds, good relationships and excellent leadership, all of which were shaped by Lord Earl's hard work for nearly two decades.
Twenty years has been a period of time for anyone. If it is not the Holy Land, even if you are a king, can he have dozens of twenty years in his life?
Earl Alpha is forty years old. He has only two children. Although both are boys, it seems that the eldest son’s age and status are more suitable for taking over the family, not to mention that he is the eldest son. Noble traditions.
Moreover, he has no time to train a younger son, even if the younger son later shows a stronger ability than his brother! Age, time and rules are not allowed!
Even so, Count Alpha certainly did not want the advice of the two Viscounts to become a reality. Not to mention that they themselves are the losing party, even if this did not happen, just considering that it may be necessary to ask Gail to help in the command department in the future, Count Alpha would never want to offend the army of Viscount Gail at this time. General.
After pondering for a moment, Count Alpha finally took a correct posture. He said slightly more seriously to Leah and Nottingham: "I agree with you, this matter really can't be delayed. If the parents of other children go first, for us It’s a very rude thing to say it. You can’t let this happen."
Villa and Nottingham smiled on their faces, while appreciating the count’s mind: "Your heart can encompass the sea, sir, and we are very happy for your decision."
After that, Nottingham asked, "Sir, are we going together?"
Villa is staring at the count at the same time, which is also a problem. If one count and two counts come to the door at the same time, not only reduces his identity, but also may make the other party dissatisfied, thinking that it is oppression by force, which is counterproductive.
The earl shook his head right now: "This is not good, we were originally a small mistake. If the three go together, people who don't know the inside will think that we are to blame instead of apologizing, and the small mistake will be a big mistake. This will be our own family. Both have a great impact and are absolutely undesirable."
The two Viscounts Villa and Nottingham both nodded in favor of this. According to Nottingham, certain unspoken rules between nobles will be broken, such as the active and passive issues of meeting between superiors and subordinates. Although this can certainly solve the problem, the impact is equally bad. Once it is heard in the ears of other nobles, especially in other cities and even the nobles of Wangdu, I am afraid that those boring nobles will laugh at them. .
The most important thing for nobles is face. If one of the two nobles severely cuts the face of the other, even if there is no trace of resentment before, after that, the two will surely become dead enemies.
The reason is simple. In an era without detailed scientific ability determination, fame itself can largely represent the ability and conduct of an aristocrat, and this is undoubtedly closely linked with interests.
Imagine if a nobleman who was about to take office was taken back to office by the king due to a sudden scandal, how much would he lose?
Very impressive, even if it is a small city with a population of less than 5000, the losses caused by this tragedy will definitely exceed one thousand gold coins, and this is calculated on a monthly basis! In a year, I am afraid that 15,000 gold coins can't be beaten. This is a pain to the blood of any family.
"So, let's try it out first? The two of us went together. I think the status of the two parties is just equal. In addition to our sincerity, I believe there will be a happy result." Nottingham said with a smile here, when he wanted to come, This ending is almost the most likely answer, there is no one.
The Earl pondered for a moment and smiled: "Although the words of Viscount Nottingham also make sense, but I think, as Matthew, who is most involved in this matter, I should take him first to pay the courtesy, so as not to be rude, if only after you , Viscount Gael inevitably thinks that I’m using status to overwhelm him, which is too arrogant. That’s why I’m guilty of indemnity. How about, two generous gentlemen, give me the charge? Believe, I Will give you a good head!"
Villa and Nottingham looked at each other. The apology is of course the sooner the better, sincerity is the most important thing. However, despite his unwillingness to be preempted, the earl was their head boss, who was originally a leader. It is obviously unwise to disobey the opinions of the superiors in such trivial matters.
As a result, the two had no choice but to smile and agree.
The count, who had been observing the two of them, nodded with satisfaction, a glorious look flashed in his eyes. He has always been good at using his noble identity. This identity is not only useful for the two Viscounts in front of him. Alpha believes that it is also useful for the Viscount Gale who will meet soon!
"If this is the case, it is that you go first, and we will go later. However, how to solve the problem of gift money, please show us, we can make a good preparation." Nottingham exchanged a few eyes before asking again. This is another key issue.
The count unconsciously buttoned the armrest of the sofa with his right and made a muffled noise.
"How much do you want to send? If you send too much to make others laugh, I'm afraid of Gael, and if you send too little, the other party will not be satisfied, and the goal of my trip is to make the other party really satisfied, contradiction, this is indeed a problem. Count Alpha whispered a few times in his heart, but had no definite idea, so he looked at Nottingham, who was still smiling.
"What do you think, Viscount Nottingham?"
Nottingham didn't expect this problem to return to his head. He and Villa had planned to use the Earl's gift as the standard, and then reduced it by about 500 gold coins. But he didn't expect the trouble to come back so quickly.
The Viscount Nottingham was a little worried. Once the words about money were spoken, it would be difficult to change again. If he is tall, obviously the count will not be happy, because the count can only be taller than him. If he is less, the count is happy, because the count can add more and open the gap between each other to please Gale, but Gale may not be satisfied with his bid, which is simply a thankless thing. .
Seeing the scene and stalemate again, Villa could not help but accuse Earl of being an old fox.
Earl Alpha was thinking while thinking in Nottingham. The quietness of this moment made him suddenly understand the most important goal of the trip: yes, it was to appease Gail and make him not only hate his son Matthew , But also really satisfied with the Earl’s apology. For this purpose, what does it matter if you spend more money? Could it be that the difference in the price of several hundred gold coins is comparable to his son's great future! Can it be comparable to the prosperity of your own family!
The answer is obviously no!
Thinking of this, Count Alpha smiled triumphantly. He slightly buckled the armrest of the sofa, and the loud noise immediately caught the attention of the two viscounts in thought.
"Two, since you don't have a suitable number, let me set a standard." The count's sudden change made the viscounts unable to figure out his true thoughts, so he nodded obediently and agreed.
"Very well, I see it like this. I will produce 2,000 gold coins, plus a set of swordsman outfit worth a thousand gold coins. I think this is enough to show my sincerity! As for you, how about 1,500 gold coins? This number is in line with the two identities!" The count made arrangements with a smile and seemed to take good care of them. The difference between the two shouted to 1,000 gold coins in a single bit, which is a very impressive number.
After exchanging his eyes again, Nottingham said with a smile: "Adult's idea is very good, this price is indeed in line with our identity and status. But..." At this point he cleared his throat and spoke again: "If it is ordinary This kind of gift is of course appropriate, but now our children make mistakes, and then use the usual rules, it seems that we are too arrogant. My family and the Viscount Villa are both of great importance to etiquette and rules Family, this kind of rudeness can never be done. Moreover, if you step back 10,000 steps, even if you set this number now, the family members of your family will not agree after returning."
Seeing what he said caused the earl to frown, Nottingham was slightly disturbed, and had to wink at Beria.
The Viscount Villa understood and immediately said: "The words of Viscount Nottingham are very reasonable, and I think so too. Master, it is better, you raise it a little bit more, then Nottingham and I can come up with a more appropriate number?"
The Earl scolded the old fox, and of course he understood what the other man meant. Villa's words were not so much as asking him to increase the number, it was better to force himself to agree with them to increase the number.
The compensation of three thousand gold coins is already one-tenth of his annual income, quite a lot. Only in this way, Earl Alpha still feels heartache, not to mention the improvement again. So he couldn't agree with anything.
Thinking of this, Count Alpha was also helpless. In front of him, he used his identity to take advantage of it. When he tried to use his identity to suppress the other party, he seemed very mad. It was obviously not a smart act to overstep the rules in order to gain a little profit.
"Okay! Then I'm still three thousand. The two of you are 2,500 gold coins. This is a suitable arrangement. You won't have any more opinions?" Although the count was inquiring, the two well-established viscounts certainly understood. In fact, the boss did not achieve his goal and was already impatient. So the two immediately agreed with a smile.
The apology was settled in this way. The three highest-ranking nobles made arrangements without knowing the others. As for the barons and lords who also offended the Viscount Gael, who would pay attention to their feelings?
And the real murderer, the Sith family, hum, that is not what the apology and gift can solve, I believe that the noble court of Guangyao City has prepared the summons.
After the two Viscounts of Villa and Nottingham left, Count Alpha returned to the study again.
Matthew still stood there honestly. The earl knew what his son looked like. During the time he left, the son should not have moved. He was very satisfied with this act of sincere regret, and even the heartache of the loss of 3,000 gold coins just now disappeared a lot.
"Okay, sit down." Count Alpha sat back in his chair and waved his son Matthew at will after a comfortable posture.
"Yes, father." Matthew also had some sore legs at this time, but he was ultimately the strength of a junior swordsman. This little soreness was nothing to him. In his heart, as long as his father knew the sincerity of his regret, he would not complain even if he stood for a day.
"Do you know how much money our family lost just now? Just because of your stupid and impulsive words?" The earl of the count's right hand lightly buckled the armrest of the chair and watched his son's expression while turning his eyes.
Matthew was surprised and turned his brain quickly, this question could have asked him. He had never experienced such a thing, and was not on the scene just now. How could he know the exact number. Moreover, he did not dare to open his mouth. Otherwise, it will definitely cause a new round of anger in his father.
Matthew had to press his head lower and replied cautiously: "No matter how much, please deduct it from the gold coins that I can dispose of each month. This is what I caused and should be borne by me."
This answer was quite unexpected for Count Alpha, so he smiled and nodded slightly, his expression very gratifying.
"Very good, losing money is often the best opportunity for people to learn from experience and become more mature. You can have such a responsibility. As a father, I am very pleased. You must remember that the nobility does not only know the waste of eating, drinking and playing. At the moment of the charge, our arms are enough to lift the heaviest big sword and carry the harshest blow." The earl educated his son at the right moment.
"Yes father, I have your words in mind!" Matthew understood his father's intentions, and his answer was equally decisive.
"Well, very good, maybe I can’t understand it for a while, because the true meaning of responsibility is always from practice, not verbal. So if you told me just now that you have understood what I mean, then I want to be angry instead. "Teach you fiercely!" The count was more satisfied. The kindness in his eyes fell in the afterglow of Matthew. His heart was warm and his head lowered.
