For Claude now, his father Morsan's harsh words and complaints about his grandfather are meaningless. No one can expect a child who has never left Bailu Town even when he is twenty-five or six years old. How much insight the young farmers of the range have.
In fact, a farmer who has not eaten yet, and whose survival is always threatened by hunger and poverty, will not think about titles, titles, official positions and other ethereal rewards that have nothing to do with him. He only has bread. , real things like houses are the greatest wealth in his eyes.
You must know that the largest amount of money his grandfather Hasby had seen before was a few silver coins in the hands of the tavern owner. The largest official he had ever dealt with was the tax collector and steward of the baron of White Deer Town, and from time to time He's going to get a few whippings.
So when he asked His Highness the Prince for the Luo Techman Mansion, he had summoned up all his courage, and he was also prepared to be whipped again. In the eyes of young Husby, this Hogo-style building was the most beautiful red brick house he had ever seen. When he was very young, he often looked at those arrogant nobles and nobles from afar. The gorgeous ladies and sisters came in and out of the mansion in gorgeous carriages, and the sound of laughter and music floated out from inside from time to time.
At that time, Husby thought that this beautiful big red brick house was what his parents called paradise. He had no worries about food and clothing, not to mention the cold winter. When he grew up, his wish was to work as a handyman in the big red brick house. Unfortunately, the baron never hired servants in the town.
Prince Kargat agreed to Husbi's request, which was like a sound to Husbi. He was so excited that he almost fainted on the spot.
True to his word, the prince immediately ordered the garrison soldiers to leave the most luxurious mansion in the town, taking only the captured weapons and some documents with them. Even the belongings left by the fiefdom baron family were left to Hasby.
Hasby wandered alone in this most sacred palace in his mind like a sleepwalker, with silver tableware and candlesticks, crystal wine glasses and crystal lamps, gilded door handles and gold picture frames of oil paintings on the walls, velvet curtains and wool carpets. , as well as a box full of gold and silver coins on the table. From today on, all of this belongs to him alone.
Prince Kargat only stayed in White Hart Town for three days before hurriedly leaving with his armed troops to fight for the revival of the kingdom. Husby did not follow the team because, firstly, the injury on his waist had not healed, and secondly, he was reluctant to leave the big red brick house he had just acquired, and he did not trust anyone to take care of it.
"If your grandfather could look further ahead instead of staying in the town and being a guard dog, then following Prince Kargat to fight everywhere, maybe our family would own a noble manor in the royal capital and be granted a title. , I don’t have to stay in this town anymore.”
When Mr. Morsan said this to his children, he forgot one of the most important prerequisites, which was that his father was lucky enough to survive the civil war in the kingdom that lasted for more than three years. You must know that nearly all of the 484 musketry garrison battalion recruited by the prince at Stone Sentry in Bailu Town and the 28 recruits recruited in the town died in the battle when the prince was defeated in the early stages of the civil war. Only eleven people were still alive when the prince ascended the throne, but these survivors were all given knighthoods, the worst were lords, and were given family estates.
Later, when these survivors returned to their hometowns to visit relatives and friends, they caused a sensation in Bailu Town and the three southwest counties. People only remember the glory and wealth obtained by these survivors, but forget the numerous bones and tears of their families who died on the battlefield.
The same is true for Mr. Morsan. People who have never experienced the battlefield can only talk about military affairs and have no idea of the cruelty of war. He believed that his father was a coward and incompetent who was satisfied with the wealth in front of him and wasted the best opportunity that fate gave him to change his life, so that the Field family could only stay in White Deer Town without going any further.
In a sense, Claude's grandfather Hasby was an honest farmer and a good man. When the news spread that he had won the Prince's Award and became the new owner of Rodman Mansion, the most beautiful red brick house in the town, almost everyone in White Deer came to visit him, flatter him and praise him. He, even without Husby himself knowing it, became the number one warrior in White Deer Town.
