Episode 12 The Mystery of the Dwarves Section 4 The Great Immigrant of the Dwarves 6
"I will speak frankly. I heard about this matter last night. I sat with many veterans. They all praised this matter and thought that the juniors are becoming more and more unruly. A few days ago, there were
A matter that makes us all angry." The Prime Minister's tone changed and he sat down next to the stone table at the instruction of the late Emperor.
"Let's hear what happened."
"A week ago, the eldest son of the Financial Secretary asked the Financial Secretary to come forward and ask for a fishing boat to be given to his fiancée's house. After the Financial Secretary refused, a quarrel broke out. His eldest son finally pushed him down. The day before yesterday, he still refused.
A few of us were drinking and complaining." After the Prime Minister finished speaking, the expression of dissatisfaction on his face was clear.
Bang! The wine glass on the stone table was slammed to the ground by the late emperor: "This traitor, punish him severely."
"Father, please calm down, anger will hurt your health." Warner quickly stood up and helped the late emperor caress his back. The Prime Minister continued: "I heard that in the province governed by Prince Cory, there is such a rule.
He is a lonely old man, and the province provides money to support him. But if he has a son at home, but does not bear the responsibility to support the old man, he will be punished with ten lashes at the least, and one year of hard labor at the worst."
"Yes, Father, I have also heard that if someone beats or scolds an elder in the clan, he will pay back ten times the amount. If he is a noble, he will be demoted. In serious cases, his official position will be removed and he will be demoted to a commoner." Warner also said: "
For example, in the outer city of Thunder Eagle, even if a young noble encounters an old commoner, he will politely step aside and give way, which makes the relationship between the nobles and common people in Thunder Eagle Province very good."
After the late emperor listened, he began to recall all the details he had seen in the Kerui territory.
"Well, I've seen these things before, but I didn't pay much attention to them at first. Now I think it's the same as what you said. I plan to implement these rules of Corey in the entire kingdom. Of course, it depends on what you want, Warner. After all, you are just now.
It’s the emperor.”
When the late emperor heard these good things, he was in a very good mood. He was also an old man himself, and he was very happy that the old man was respected.
Warner sighed softly: "I've thought about it too, but it's just not easy. However, we can use Corey's incident this time to push it further. I don't dare to say that I respect all elders, but I can definitely fully respect the elders of my clan.
Continue to implement it.”
The late emperor also understood that the level of the nobles in the Yasi Kingdom and the differences between the nobles and the common people would make it difficult to implement some systems that would have too great an impact. The entire kingdom could not be made to follow the example of Kerui. Who would dare not to listen?
Just send the army to enforce it.
While the late emperor was chatting with Warner, in front of the small courtyard where Corey lived, the carriage carrying Lace's parents was preparing to leave for the camp. Lace put on ordinary clothes and nestled in her mother's arms.
"The Duchess of Cerui has arrived," the protocol officer shouted.
Of course Lace's parents, who had just got into the carriage, understood the rank of the Duchess. They jumped out of the carriage hurriedly and were about to kneel in front of the carriage.
"No need to kneel down, we are in-laws." A friendly voice came, and the two looked up. In front of them was a woman with gray hair wearing civilian clothes. This was Corey's mother, who was dressed as a noble.
She didn't like the life of reaching out for food and opening her mouth. She always lived in a small courtyard by herself and lived a self-sufficient life. The two maids sent were more like her daughters than servants.
"We promised to visit you as soon as possible, but we really shouldn't." Mrs. Ci Rui took Lei Lei's mother's hand. The moment their hands came into contact, Lei Lei's mother felt an indescribable feeling of intimacy, because Corey's mother's hands were
A pair of workers' hands.
Looking at the convoy waiting to go out, Mrs. Zirui said with a smile: "There is still room in my small courtyard. Let's rest for a few days before going to the camp." The management of the convoy did not dare to disobey and immediately ordered the convoy to change its route towards Kerui.
Go to mother's small courtyard.
On the carriage, Mrs. Ci Rui said with a smile: "Lei's camp is a good place, like a paradise on earth, but it's a bit far away. I'm afraid you haven't had a good rest these days. I'll accompany you there in a few days."
"Dear Madam, I..." Lace's mother was about to say something when she was interrupted by Madam Ci Rui: "Dear Madam, there was no difference between me and the servants a few years ago, I just had an extra name.
People will offer you to high places."
Seeing that Lace's mother didn't understand, Ci Rui's mother began to tell the story of what happened after Corey was born. As soon as she told the story of Corey being kicked out of the college, the motorcade arrived at her courtyard. After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Ci Rui said:
"Let's all go, we don't need you here."
"Yes, madam." The attendants all retreated.
At this time, Mrs. Ci Rui took Lace's mother and walked into the small courtyard. This was a very ordinary small courtyard. What was planted in the courtyard were not flowers and plants, but some vegetables. There were a few magic rabbits and two sheep running in the courtyard.
, it looks exactly like an ordinary farmyard.
"When Lei was young, I was thinking all day long, how nice it would be for Corey and I to move out and live in a small courtyard like this with a few acres of land." As he said this, he pulled Lai Si's parents through the small courtyard.
Pushing open the back door, a small cornfield is about to mature.
Mrs. Ci Rui walked into the cornfield, holding a basket in her hand: "Tonight, let's drink polenta."
All this made the tension in the hearts of Laisi's parents completely disappear. Lace's father rolled up his sleeves, picked up the farm tools leaning on the side and walked in the field a few times. He took a few long deep breaths, and the long-lost smile returned.
appear on the face.
"My specialty corn tortillas were Lace's favorite when she was a child." Lace's mother also laughed, but when she mentioned Lace's childhood, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. Mrs. Ci Rui quickly smiled and said: "This is not the end of everything.
Well, when I think back to when Lei came back in the nobleman's carriage, it still feels like a dream when I think about it now."
After that, she quietly waved to Lai Si, indicating that Lai Si should leave first. Lai Si saw her parents smiling and knew that it was not good for her to stay here at this time, so she left with peace of mind.
The new corn is placed in a stone basin, crushed with a big mallet, and then some flour, vegetables, and salt are added. Finally, it is made into small round cakes and placed on the hot stone. After a while, the fragrant corn cakes will spread out.
The tempting smell spreads far.
"Ha, it smells so good. Give me a portion for this poor old man." Loud laughter came from outside the door of the small courtyard. Two old men wearing linen clothes pushed the door in. One of them had a goatee.
I walked to the stone and saw that there was freshly cooked meat on the plate next to it. I quickly reached out, picked up a piece and put it in my mouth.
"It's hot, it's really hot, it's delicious." The old man praised it while eating.
Lace's mother didn't seem to have thought that Thunder Eagle City was known as the most strict city in Asia. Even the middle-level nobles might not be able to come in. How could there be two more old men in civilian clothes? She said with a smile: "Don't worry.
, there are many more, it would be better if you eat them with vegetables." After that, he brought out a plate of green vegetables, which looked like they were all raw, but dressed up with seasonings.
"Well, it tastes great." It was the late emperor who was snatching the food. He smelled a fragrance from a distance and ran over. Naturally, Marshal Baikal was following him. Cory's mother didn't tell him that this was the place.
It's an ordinary small courtyard. Besides, if you explain it, it will destroy the warm atmosphere.
After leaving the small courtyard, Lace returned to the small courtyard where she lived. Corey had already left at this time. He wanted to personally take care of the settlement of the dwarves, but he was not worried about the disadvantages of the person doing the work, mainly because he wanted to leave some good impression on the dwarves.
There will be many things to do with the dwarves in the future.
Riding the long-awaited Yin Dian, Corey quickly arrived at the foot of the Dragon's Peak Mountain in Thunder Eagle City. Looking at the silver light group in the sky, a group of veterans with weapons in charge of guarding came towards Corey's landing.
The place was surrounded.
"Sir, I will lead the way for you." A veteran carried a spear and led the way for Keri. Keri saw the brightly lit village in the distance.
