Chapter 298 Someone else’s child, and a neighbor’s child

Lord Thorn's aunt recognized the family crests of the Black and Brown family and the Stag family, but she had no interest in going up to communicate.

It is estimated that they either came as allies to celebrate Rand's becoming an earl, or came to investigate and prepare to make a large investment in the port.

When Lord Thorn's aunt saw her niece finish her meal, she asked, "Would you like to go shopping with me, your aunt?"

Her great-niece nodded. Although she was already quite familiar with the resort, she would still be happy to explore it more.

At the same time, the Marquis of Black and Brown, the Earl of Buck, and Shelan entered the holiday villa under the reception of the head of the propagandists.

The short propaganda officer smiled and said, "Lord Rand is currently in charge of the Full Moon Territory. Would you like to go there now or visit the resort first?"

"Let's take a look here first." The black and brown Marquis said in a low voice, "I want to go to the school here to take a look."

The Earl of the Stag is about the same age as the Marquis of Black and Brown, and they were good friends when they were young. The Marquis of Black and Brown's current condition makes the Earl of the Stag very worried.

But there is no way.

The Earl of the Stag used his connections to explore various possibilities, but nothing could help the current situation of the Black and Brown Marquis.

The propagandist leader brought these nobles to the church school.

Since spring is approaching, fewer people have come to make pilgrimages, as the villagers have to go back to prepare for spring planting.

And now, the church school has officially started operating.

Some of the younger children of the Earl of the Stag and the Marquis of the Black and Tan attend classes here.

The teacher of the class is still Vanilla.

Vanilla, wearing a teacher's uniform designed by Rand, explains how to manage efficiently.

For example, simplifying unnecessary steps, making plans in advance, etc.

After the Marquis of Black and Brown, the Earl of Buck, and Shelan entered the classroom, they sat in the back row to listen to the class.

This undoubtedly made the students and teachers nervous.

Until the end of the class.

The students and Teacher Vanilla all breathed a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, many nobles have sent their younger family members to study in holiday villas.

Only a part of the students are attending classes now. Vanilla's work pressure is already a bit too much, and she plans to apply to Lady Lisa to arrange more teachers in the school.

The Black and Brown Marquis and the Stag Earl looked at each other, then separated to meet the younger generations of their families.

There are three people from the Black and Brown family studying here, Jayne, and his two much younger siblings.

The two younger children were nine and ten years old.

"Jayne." The black and brown marquis said in a deep voice.

Jayne had not studied anything since arriving at the holiday villa. He felt ashamed to study in a noble territory of the same age as himself, and his classmates included his younger brothers and sisters.

Furthermore, he himself had no intention of studying at all. He would enjoy life after inheriting the title of the Black and Brown Family. He had no intention of expanding, so it would be easy for him to maintain the status quo.

Therefore, the period of time since he knew that his father was coming to test him was not enough for him to catch up on his knowledge, even though his younger brothers and sisters had already taught him everything they knew.

Jayne walked up to the black and brown marquis with some trepidation: "Father."

The Black and Brown Marquis asked Jayne what he had learned during this time.

Then he asked some questions prepared by the butler.

This butler sometimes accompanied him to class and learned much more than Jayne.

Jayne could only answer the last few questions very hesitantly.

Then the Black and Brown Marquis asked Jayne some more questions about his opinion on the holiday villa and Rand.

Now Jayne finally admitted that Rand was very powerful, but he still showed a sense of arrogance.

In fact, many old noble families in the south have this kind of arrogance, and they look down on newcomers.

But the Black and Brown Marquis didn't know why his son would have such an idea.

Although he had anticipated the situation of his seventh son, as a parent he always has expectations for his children.

But now, the Black and Brown Marquis must consider the interests of his family.

After finishing the test on Jayne, the Black and Brown Marquis examined the two younger children.

His situation is much better than Jayne's, and since he has been studying in the holiday villa for some time, he is relatively close to Rand.

The Black and Brown Marquis took Jayne out of the church school and found a quiet place. He said, "Leave the inheritance of the Black and Brown family to your brothers and sisters. I will arrange for you to be a knight under Rand, and Rand will take good care of you."

Jayne's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had always felt that his position as heir was as secure as it could be, but now, he had been deprived of his status as heir.

Jayne pressed his lips together and squeezed out a few words: "I am much older than them. They are simply incapable of governing the territory."

The Black and Brown Marquis did not explain much.

He knew very well that his son would not understand.

Seeing that his father didn't say anything more, Jayne's face twisted and his eyes twitched.

Originally, they were all his! Everything in the Marquis of Black and Brown, as well as the Black and Brown City with the theater, all belonged to him! But now his father, the Marquis of Black and Brown, is going to deprive him of everything with just one word! The Marquis of Black and Brown looked at his son quietly. In fact, if he could resist, the Marquis of Black and Brown would look up to him.

But it didn’t.

Jayne's face turned purple, but he just lowered his head and looked at his toes.

He felt that his father was extremely stupid, but he still did not dare to rebel against him.

Even though this prestigious black and brown marquis was already terminally ill, he still did not have the courage to resist.

He didn't know how many armed forces his father had left behind, but as long as the Black and Brown Marquis stood there, he didn't have the courage to refuse.

Even though he was resentful, even though he was burning with anger, he couldn't do it.

"Waste." The Black and Brown Marquis did not curse out loud, but kept this sentence in his heart.

The Black and Brown Marquis shook his head in disappointment and left.

After meeting Rand during the full moon, he will arrange the affairs of the territory and then head to the north.

On the other hand, Shelan's family situation is much better.

As the eldest brother, Shelan dotes on his younger siblings, so the relationship among the younger generation of the Bucks family is very good.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing Shelan coming, the younger brothers and sisters came over and told Shelan about what they had seen and heard here during this period.

The Earl of the Stag had no say in the matter and could only watch from the side.

His family's situation was much better than that of the Black and Brown Family. When he was young, he, like the Black and Brown Marquis, did not pay much attention to the training of heirs, but he was very lucky.

The Earl of Bucks' wife, the Countess of Bucks, is very good at raising children.

Later, when Earl of the Stag got older and wanted to raise his children properly, he found that he was a bit redundant.

I can only teach some life experiences and share some connections with my children, there is nothing else I can do.

Now the Earl of Bucks feels very fortunate. An excellent mistress can have a great influence on a family.

While strolling in the holiday villa, Earl Stag and Marquis Black and Brown noticed the aunt of Duke Thorn who was also strolling.

This lady is somewhat famous among the great nobles. The Thorn Family's Chamber of Commerce has been managed by this lady for a long time, and this lady herself is also a powerful top-level professional.

However, the Earl of the Stag and the Marquis of Black and Brown also had no intention of talking to her. They could easily guess why the lady was here.

It was obvious that the shameless old man, Duke Thorn, had set his eyes on the interests at the port and arranged for the elders of his family to come and investigate.

The purpose of their visit this time was not only to celebrate Rand becoming the Earl, but also to have this idea in mind.

As Rand's allies, they understand Rand's abilities better than other nobles.

In fact, they even felt that Rand’s domestic affairs were more terrifying than its military capabilities.

It is obvious that Rand has long been eyeing the interests of the coastal areas. Rand, a man who will not do anything without profit, must have a way to develop wealth through the ocean.

Now is a good time to invest.

…

Since the Black and Brown Marquis and the Stag Count were going to the Full Moon Territory after strolling around, there was no need for Lisa to come and receive them in person.

The Marquis of Black and Brown and the Count of the Stag were already quite familiar with Rand, so it was much more convenient to arrange for the head of the propagandists to receive them than to have the administrator, Lisa, receive them in person.

And these two won't feel offended.

As a result, Lisa no longer has to work overtime.

Now there is only one last thing left, which is to process Vanilla's application for additional teaching staff.

Once the Mother Goddess sect gains more recognition, the believers and nobles can be arranged to study together, but this will inevitably lead to an increase in the demand for teaching staff.

Lysa actually had plans for this.

Judging from the efficiency of the Elf Royal Court, someone should come and look for Vanilla, the lost royal bloodline.

Just catch it and do the work when the time comes.

This is actually beneficial to the elves. After these people learn new knowledge, they can also make some changes to the current situation of the elves.

Lysa left the Elf Forest because she couldn't stand the corruption of the elves.

All the elves are obsessed with their past glory, and are as complacent as a pool of stagnant water.

That kind of environment is more painful than killing her.

Even with her strength and identity, it is difficult for her to change anything in the Elf Forest.

So she left without hesitation.

…

After finishing her affairs for the day, she checked the improvements on the carriage and the brick kiln, and then came to the backyard of the lord's hall in the hideout.

Rand agreed to let her build a basement here.

So she arranged for people to start the work without hesitation. Since it only required digging out a basement, reinforcing it to prevent collapse, and installing a door, the project was completed quickly.

As for the follow-up, it was done by Lisa herself.

This basement is used to store some of Lysa's treasures, such as the cross that was originally used to bind sacrificial offerings, but was later often used by Rand to bind Lysa.

In addition, Lysa also prepared some "toys" so that she could ask for rewards when Rand returned.
