My British Empire

When Arthur saw Edward, he walked over slowly, looked up at the direction where Elizabeth was going away, seemed to think for a while, maybe he still felt that the long-term meal ticket was important, shook the pony's head, and said cheerfully Run up to Edward.

Edward looked at the shameless little guy in front of him, it seemed that what Elizabeth fed hadn't filled his stomach yet. Cheeky came to Edward's hand, and slowly licked Edward's white and tender palm with his tongue.

"Hey! Can you show some face!" Edward said helplessly.

Both hands unconsciously ravaged Arthur's long pony face, rubbing vigorously, interactively from left to right, without repetition.

"Woo! Woo!" the little pony Arthur was rubbed by Edward so that the pony's face stood up, as if he was impatient with Edward, he stuck out his tongue and screamed.

"Hmph! Let you eat and crawl, and you will be tempted out by a little food, ah!" Edward said, the strength in his hands was much weaker, but he still didn't let go of his hands.

"You are not allowed to come out casually in the future, you know?" .

"I'll take it as if you know and agree!" Edward immediately let go of his hand, and led the pony slowly back to the villa in the center of the manor.

The villa covers an area of ​​about 20 acres and has about 30 rooms on the upper and lower floors. The sculpture in front of the door is a portrait of an angel with spread wings. It is about six feet high. .

The wings were about three feet long on each side, and two feet at their widest point. The angel spread its wings, put its hands together in its abdomen, and showed a kind expression on its face.

Of course, as in the western form, the angel is in the center of a fountain, and a pool about a foot high guards the angel.

A female angel in a white robe, surrounded by erupting water vapor, appeared in front of Edward at a height reaching the height.

And Edward had to look up to the beautiful angel. Edward is about four feet tall, while the angel's total height reaches nine feet. Edward can only see the angel's waist when he looks up.

Having said that, I have to talk about the weights and measures in England.

Inches originally meant the width of your thumb. The name comes from the Latin uncia, which means "one-twelfth". One inch is considered the width of a thumb.

In England, inches have been used since the Middle Ages.

In 1324, Edward II decreed that an inch was the length of three barley grains joined. The inch is the basis of the imperial unit of length and is now legally equal to 2.54 centimeters.

This means that imperial units of length are based on the metric system! If you want to do a quick conversion, 2 inches is about 5 cm.

The foot (foot) is equal to 30.48cm under the metric conversion, and under the imperial conversion, 12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard.

And there is an old story about the origin of feet in England. Sit down, everyone, Lancher's story will start, this is an uplifting gesture!

A long time ago, there was a country called Rome, and the Roman unit at that time was called pes, and the plural was pedes, which means "foot", which is 29.59cm, which is very close to the modern feet. Also 12 inches is 1 pes.

Since England was conquered by the Roman Empire, England has been crying and resisting, while unconsciously using it. So feet have been used in England. For details, please refer to modern Japan.

Feet have been used in England for over a thousand years. Foot (foot, also means foot), the length of a human foot, used to be anywhere from 9 3/4 inches to 19 inches (my foot is 11 inches).

The modern meaning of feet and inches was not established until the 1844 reorganization standard. That year, the British government produced standard yard lengths in bronze, divided into feet and inches.

Edward's neck was sore when he looked up, and he could barely see the face of this angel sister, as always, kind, gentle, and not irritating!

After reading it, Arthur handed it over to William, the guard, and told him to feed less fodder. It had already eaten a lot today.

Arthur cried to death and didn't expect that it put all its heart and soul into licking Edward, and sacrificed its handsome face. It still hadn't appeased Edward, and the result of reducing the amount of food was still inevitable.

Edward went back to his room, changed his clothes, went to the study, and read a book.

"Boom!" "Come in!" Edward said without raising his head when he heard the knock on the door.

"Your Majesty! It's time for dinner!" Lucy, wearing a maid outfit, carefully pushed open the door of the study, revealing a lovely face.

"Got it!" Edward agreed casually, still staring at the parchment in his hand.

"Your Majesty, if you do this again, I! I'll tell Aunt Anna to see what you do!" Lucy frowned and moved her smooth nose. She was really helpless by Edward's ruffian appearance and could only move out. Aunt Anna came to shock him.

"Eh! Lucy, how can you bother Aunt Anna with such a small matter?" Edward immediately expressed that he was defeated by Lucy, "I'll go right away and lead the way!"

Edward tidied up his books and placed a goose feather on the pages he read before, carefully placing them on the bookshelf.

Soon, Edward followed Lucy to the dining room, while Elizabeth and Howard the butler were already seated, waiting boredly.

"Edward, why are you..." Elizabeth said loudly. When she realized that there were outsiders, she stopped in the middle of her speech, and her neck and ears were flushed red. Obviously, she also knew that it was rude for outsiders to yell like this, and it was not in line with a lady's demeanor.

"Howard, what is this?" Edward pointed to a plate of roasted leg meat and said at the right time, which just rightly eased Elizabeth's embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, this is a doe brought by the serfs of the manor. I specially asked the cook to make it for you, Your Majesty the King!" Henry VIII is a king who likes hunting, and he often leads a group of nobles to hunt horses. . And these serfs also had the opportunity to accompany the king to hunt together, and the heroic serfs had the opportunity to receive bows and arrows from Henry VIII.

Of course, it was mainly Edward who issued a royal decree at the end of February, allowing people to go hunting and chop firewood freely in the forests belonging to the royal family. Edward is mainly doing this to give the poor people a way of life in winter! This is also a trick to buy people's hearts.

However, Edward also ruled against shooting pregnant mother animals in the spring, as well as underage juvenile animals! No trees less than one inch thick shall be felled.

I don't know that this alone has bought a lot of hearts for Edward.

Edward was tasting the roasted deer, when suddenly Lucy whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, a wandering knight asks to see you!"
