The Vaasa family in Leiden City is still somewhat famous, but it is far from being comparable to a super rich like the Chap family.
The Vasa family has more than 2,000 acres of land and more than 40 slaves. Although it is far from being rich and expensive, it is enough for George Vasa and his brothers and sisters to live a carefree life and have the opportunity to accept a good education.
As a boy, George Vassar attended Leiden College. After graduation, he wanted to go to Meadgard University for further study. However, he did not succeed in the end.
The successive deaths of his father and elder brother caused the Vaasa family to temporarily fall into an economic crisis. George Vaasa had to end school and entered the colonial army at the age of 19 to serve as a military officer.
Thomas's evaluation of George Vassar is very high, and it is consistent with Joan's impression.
"This person is a good-spoken, well-trained gentleman in the social field. When he puts on his military uniform, he becomes indifferent and dignified, giving a bad impression. No matter what occasion, George Vassar is not a People who are in the limelight even seem to be very quiet and very low-key."
Listening to Thomas telling about the ups and downs of Major Vassar, Joan naturally thinks of Miss Martha's experience.
The life experiences of the two of them are very similar. They both lost their parents at a young age and were forced to give up their studies, relying on their own strength to work hard in society and barely support their family business.
Before Captain Daniel died, he entrusted Major Vassar to take care of his fiancee, Miss Martha.
Looking back now, Joan vaguely feels that Daniel's last words seem to have the intention of bringing Vaasa and Martha together, and I don't know if he can do what he wants in the future.
On Monday morning, Joanne got up half an hour earlier than usual. He prepared the spell before 6 o'clock. After washing, it took another ten minutes to get milk and have breakfast.
I was in such a hurry because yesterday I made an appointment with teachers Xiao Miao, A Che and Benny at the Leiden College campus at 6:30 and went to the Vasa family estate together.
With the experience of eradicating earthworms in the White House Estate yesterday, Joanne found that the insecticide he had prepared was very effective. Last night, he specially formulated another 50 bottles, all of which were put in storage bags. I think I can send them today. Useful.
When going downstairs, Joan met Thomas and Edward who had just gotten up to prepare breakfast.
The two were very curious to see him in this far-away outfit, and asked him where he was going in a hurry.
"Go to a friend's house as a guest, and by the way help eliminate the pests in his ranch." Joan explained briefly.
"You are almost becoming an "insecticide expert" now, and help my house to get rid of insects anytime." Thomas said with a smile.
Joan listened to his words and couldn't help but moved. The Chap family was rich and the commission should not be less than 500 Duga.
While thinking about how to talk to Thomas about the business, a familiar laughter suddenly came from the door of the dormitory.
"Good morning, Joan!" Xiao Miao stood outside the door, waving to him with a smile.
Ache followed Catwoman, still wearing the gray cloak, the hood was pressed down very low, but still attracted many curious eyes-including Edward and Thomas.
"Sister Meow, squeak, good morning." Qiao An greeted first and asked in surprise: "It's not an appointment to meet outside the school gate. How did you come in?"
The management of Leiden College is very strict, and students must present their IDs when entering or leaving the school. People outside the school are usually not allowed to enter the campus.
Outsiders who want to enter the campus to find a student must first register their identity, and then ask the doorman to notify the person they are looking for at the school gate. Especially the conspicuous "heterogeneous" such as Xiao Miao and A Chi are even more difficult to enter the campus.
"Hey~ It's actually very simple. We showed the reporter's certificate and claimed to represent the newspaper office to interview the newly enrolled talented students this year. By the way, to promote the teaching achievements of Leiden College, the guards let us in." Xiao Miao shook proudly. Tail said.
Joan almost laughed, and had to admire Sister Miao's cleverness.
"Why didn't Teacher Benny come?"
"He was guarding the carriage outside the school gate, and he installed some weird stuff he invented, saying that it might be useful when dealing with pests. He was afraid that someone would steal his "great invention" and keep guarding."
"Let me say that unless any thief goes crazy, who would be fond of the dangerous stuff that could explode at any time? Don't give me anything!"
A squeaked his shoulder and snorted angrily.
"Think about it, Joanne. Next, let’s go out of the city with the pile of dangerous goods. The road outside the city is not good. The carriage is unavoidably bumpy. In case of detonating Teacher Benny’s "great invention"...you Say we die unjustly?"
"Okay, okay, let's say something frustrating early in the morning!"
Xiao Miao squeaked fiercely.
Inadvertently found that Joan was standing behind two well-dressed teenagers, who seemed to be the children of the rich and wealthy. They were looking at themselves with scrutiny, and Xiao Miao was very skilled in pulling Joan's arms and smiling. He inquired:
"This is your classmate? Why don't you introduce it to us?"
Qiao An is really not good at entertaining social activities. After being reminded by Xiao Miao, she recovered and gave a brief introduction for both parties.
Thomas is quite polite to Xiao Miao and A Chi, and finds this extremely joyful "cat and mouse combination" very interesting, patting Joan's shoulder with some envy and emotion:
"I really don't see it. People like you who are quiet and introverted actually make a lot of friends!"
Edward maintained his manners as a gentleman, but everyone knew that this politeness was just a routine, and arrogance was hidden behind it. Looking at Joan's eyes implied blame, and seemed to be very stern about his friendship with small street people such as Xiao Miao and A Che.
After the greeting, Qiao An said goodbye to the two classmates and followed Xiao Miao and A Chi towards the school gate.
Edward looked at their backs, frowned, and whispered something in Thomas' ear.
Thomas looked embarrassed, but under Edward's eyes, he had to shout at Joan.
"What's wrong, Thomas?" Joan looked back.
Thomas hesitated a little, and seemed to be in control, and finally told him in a subtle way: "Go out and take care of yourself!"
Joan nodded deliberately: "Thank you, I know."
Outside the school gate, Joan saw a carriage with the words "Leiden Post" parked on the roadside.
A small trailer was also towed behind the carriage, which was piled with weird debris, including a bamboo basket that almost filled the carriage, a large iron bucket with a brass faucet, and a bundle of three feet long, There are threaded steel pipes at both ends, a large bundle of canvas, two bundles of strong cables, and a thin and light skin fold.
Teacher Benny jumped off the pile of debris and waved good morning to Joanne.
"Good morning, teacher Benny, what are these things for?"
Joan looked curiously at the debris accumulated in the trailer.
