Chapter 66 Busy Manny
Zhang Wei admires him. Who says foreigners don’t know how to do business? This guy is so smart. His main strategy is to make a living by borrowing chickens and eggs.
"Okay! I've always had some luck!" Venus agreed readily.
The gamekeeper's business is not yet finished:
"Do you need to rent a hunting rifle and foxhounds?"
"Foxhound?" Not only Venus was puzzled, but Zhang Wei had never heard of it either. It sounded like a dog specially used for hunting.
"Yes, you're not British, I can tell you're not. The British have to bring foxhounds when they go hunting. I don't have many here, but I can borrow five or six."
Venus smiled and said, "It would be ridiculous if I had to rely on hounds for hunting. But if you have a good horse, you can rent one."
The Wilsons' horses were for strolling, and Venus seemed to disdain them.
"Yes, come with me and take a look now!"
"We can't help much. Are you sure you want to come with us on the hunting day?" Zhang Wei asked Namir.
"We can use binoculars to watch her hunt. Venus seems to be a good shot, so she's sure to catch a lot of prey."
It seemed that he was very interested, but Zhang Wei didn't want to come over again. She just wanted to wait in the castle to eat game.
Venus chose the horses, paid the deposit, and led the horses to take them home.
"Venus, I won't come during the hunting trip." Zhang Wei informed her in advance, fearing that they would call her at the last minute and leave her unprepared.
"Why not?"
"I'm not interested in that, and it's a bit gory."
Zhang Wei felt that she could accept catching animals alive, but she still couldn't bear to watch the animals being beaten to death.
"No, Vera, I think you should come over," Venus said disapprovingly.
"I know you really want to learn my abilities, but what good would it do you? You don't even have the courage to face bloodshed. When danger strikes, are you going to say, 'Forget it, I'm giving up!'"
Venus raised an eyebrow and looked at her, then stopped moving, as if waiting for her to answer.
Zhang Wei: That makes sense, but I don’t know how to refute it…
Namir's brotherly power was demonstrated once again: "I'm not afraid, Vera. If you are in danger, come to me and I will help you!"
"Venus, Vera won't come, so I'll come with you. Don't be angry."
Venus smiled, as if mocking Zhang Wei's cowardice.
Zhang Wei gave up resistance: "You make sense, Venus, I'll come."
Then he turned to Namir and said, "Thank you, Namir. I think we should fight side by side. I will try my best to keep up with you."
On the way back, Zhang Wei sat in the middle. In order to thank Namier for his warm protection, she first helped Namier solve the problem of eating hair.
To be honest, Zhang Wei felt much more at ease sitting in the middle, and Namir was not afraid at all sitting in the front. It seemed that Venus gave him a lot of confidence.
Back at the castle, Leida and Manny also returned.
They have been going out frequently recently, sometimes not even coming back at night, because Leida rented a house near the school and occasionally stayed there.
As for why Manny, a junior high school student, is so busy, it is because he has an important thing to do that is related to his study and life in the next five years.
That is choosing a tutor. Devon School will assign a tutor to each student on the first day of school. This tutor is responsible for supervising the student's academic progress and moral and social development. This will continue until the A-Lever stage, which is the last year of high school and is the preparatory stage for university. Only then can a new tutor be selected to specifically tutor the major subject.
Therefore, the right mentor is very important to Manny. Leida can only provide him with some help so that he can learn more. Of course, his family can also directly find a familiar teacher, but this will not do Manny any good.
Because this process of getting along with his mentor is the process in which Manny really starts to socialize in his own way, he can learn a lot from it, so Leida told him some of the teacher's habits and personality that Charles allowed.
There is another problem that gives Manny a headache, and Zhang Wei may also encounter this problem in the future.
That is physical education. Physical education occupies an extremely important proportion in the study and life of Devon School. It is a compulsory course in the school that is called non-course.
Because Devon College places great emphasis on the cultivation of chivalry in gentlemanly character, the awareness of cooperation and fair competition in sports are key points that they pay close attention to.
Having said so much, Manny is actually a typical science and engineering otaku.
Horseback riding is the only sport he sticks to, and Zhang Wei thinks his skills are mediocre. Because every time he goes to the horse farm, Zhang Wei rarely sees Manny running. Most of the time he just rides the horse and stares blankly.
Moreover, horseback riding is a solo sport and is not very popular in Germany.
So Manny went to the training camp with Leida. Leida picked out several popular sports clubs for him to help him get started. At least he wouldn't be isolated because he didn't know anything.
This sounded a wake-up call for Zhang Wei. He never thought that one day he might be isolated just because he was too useless at sports.
She thought about it carefully and decided that ball sports should be popular at all times. She knew nothing about baseball, handball, and rugby, but was familiar with tennis, table tennis, and badminton.
I have no talent for table tennis. After years of physical education class, I can only tap the ball. I can't jump high in badminton. If I am less than 1.6 meters tall in this life, I can only pick up the ball here.
Zhang Wei rarely thought of Qin Yuan and Chen Jiumei. They were not short, so she should be able to grow taller.
Tennis... I used to just watch people playing against the wall, so it probably wasn't a good social sport.
When she was racking her brains, she heard Emma laugh:
"It was him who quit all the sports clubs at school, saying he didn't have enough time to do other things. Now he's worried."
Zhang Weicai suddenly realized that he should choose a new club next semester. He couldn't be lazy this time because any laziness he showed now would be paid back later.
We'll have to take Dora with us when the time comes. She doesn't look very strong.
After dinner, Emma said that she had received a hunting invitation from Fort Beatrice, inviting Charles, Leda and Manny to go together.
The messenger who delivered the invitation said that they had prepared a grand opening ceremony with the participation of many prestigious old nobles, which would give young people like Leida a very good social experience.
Charles has returned to Country A to handle company matters these days, so he obviously won't go.
Neither Leida nor Manny had a good impression of their peers from Atlisburg, and they even sneered at the descendants of aristocrats, so they threw the invitation aside and went about their own business.
Namir, who was most interested in hunting, was obviously not qualified to participate, so he could only follow Venus to the small hunting ground for a hunt. Unexpectedly, Venus met this large hunting team.
