My British Empire

"What? How does he know I'm here?" "No! He's asking to see the owner of the manor!"

"Oh! Then you can serve him a dinner first! I'll go see him after eating!" "Yes!"

After seeking Edward's opinion, Lucy lifted her skirt to Elizabeth and Howard, bent over, and slowly exited the restaurant.

Lucy walked towards the gate of the manor unhurriedly. After seeing Lucy, other servants along the way consciously stood on the side of the road to make way for her.

And Lucy also smiled at them, without showing a hint of arrogance, and politely returned the gift.

"Look at how lucky Lucy is! She can serve His Majesty the King!" "Yes! And His Majesty has such a good temper!" The two young servants huddled in the corner said in a jealous tone, looking at her from the corner of her eye from time to time. Looking at the back of Lucy walking.

Lucy didn't hear these topics about her, even if she heard it, she would only smile in her heart. From the moment she became Edward's maid, she began to bear the jealousy and hatred of all kinds of people. Some discussions are nothing. The sisters have long been used to it.

Lucy twisted her slender waist and walked to the gate of the manor in a ladylike manner.

I saw a knight in his thirties, dressed in black and white aristocratic casual clothes, stroking a black horse with his hands.

The knight had long golden hair, his clothes were covered with dust, his face seemed to have been scratched with fresh blood by a branch or something, a two-foot-long rapier hung from his waist, and he wore a pair of thick and furry cowhide boots He also cracked a smiling face, his weather-beaten handsome face still had a hint of a smile on it, staring closely at his mount—a black steed.

This is sure that the hero knight in the romance novel is still alive!

Lucy walked up to Mr. Knight with a smile and gave a lady salute.

"Sir! The master of my house invites you to have dinner first. He is dealing with some things now and will be there soon!"

"Okay! Thank you for your host's invitation, but can you prepare some fodder for my little friend first?" the knight asked Lucy.

Lucy looked at the dusty black horse, about five feet tall at the shoulders, a head higher than the top of her own head. Its black sideburns fluttered with the wind, and an indescribable style fascinated people.

Even though Lucy didn't know what kind of horse it was, she knew it was a good horse just by looking at its appearance, a horse no less good than Arthur.

"Yes! Singer, you can take this knight's horse to the stable and let the groom take good care of it!" Lucy said politely to the knight, and then ordered a manservant who guarded the gate to lead the horse. .

"Please come with me, we have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you!" Lucy guided the knight to the small restaurant, where the king usually enjoys a personal lunch alone, and Edward hardly used it, he always liked this kind of reunion long table dinner.

After Edward finished his dinner, he was taken to the living room by Lucy. By this time, the gray-faced knight had taken on a completely new look.

The handsome knight didn't seem to be interested in taking a bath, exuding a fresh breath, which is a rare thing that someone can have in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages.

As the king of England, Edward loves bathing very much, so under his leadership, the entire royal family and servants take a bath almost every week.

But among the European apostles headed by the royal family members, they even regarded bathing as the root of depravity. It's touting this habit as a personal achievement! Not ashamed, but proud. It can be concluded from this that it is very rare for a woman in the Middle Ages to be raped by someone, especially for the buddies who traveled to that time, who can like noble ladies, I admire and admire them very much.

This is mainly because people at that time believed that bathing was not good for the body, and they believed that hot water would dilate the pores, making it easier for bacteria to invade the body.

The nobles at that time exuded poisonous gas, and even the most beautiful and handsome faces would be defeated by the stinky smell, and in order to cover up the smell on their bodies, they needed to use a lot of face powder to cover it up, so this is what French perfume is famous for. cause of the world.

This is why Europeans at that time had such a strong interest in Asian spices, so Europeans did not take a bath at that time, and it can even be regarded as an important reason for them to open up the ocean and colonize everywhere!

Therefore, Europeans embarked on a great voyage due to many factors. Unlike some historical essays, once the Chinese did not have the Ming Dynasty’s order to seal the sea, they would start a great voyage, colonize the world, and move to another peak from then on. .

The consequences of this bad habit of Europeans were the flu and plague that were prevalent in Europe at that time. According to records, under the attack of the Black Death that swept across Europe in the middle of the 14th century, the city of London, which once developed to a population of 100,000, suddenly reduced its population by one-third. Therefore, it is more dangerous to live in a city in the Middle Ages.

Until 1750, only 6% of Parisian palace houses had bathrooms. It wasn't until the late 1700s that doctors began advising people to wash their hands, face and neck every day. Since then, European talents have finally embarked on the road of hygiene with frequent bathing!

Therefore, Edward saw at a glance that the wandering knight had taken a bath, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

"Knight from afar, I wonder if I can have the honor to know your name?" "Of course! Your honorable baron!" Edward had asked Lucy to reveal to him that he was a baron, and that he was not allowed to reveal the fact that he was a king.

In fact, wandering knights are not real knights. To be precise, they should be quasi-knights.

The nobles liked to recruit such wandering knights when they were fighting. Not only did they have excellent qualities, but they also prepared their own weapons and horses, which saved them a lot of money.

Of course, the knights are not free, after the meritorious deeds, they will be canonized with knights. Their goal is to become a real knight with a fief.

And Edward called him a knight, which is a respectful statement.

"My name is Grenville Richard, I am from the Richard family of the Richard Knights in Southampton!" Grenville said unhurriedly, his voice had a sense of vicissitudes, if If the opposite is a girl, she will definitely be confused by his handsome face and magnetic voice. However, Edward is a man.

"I am the eldest son of the Richard family. My family was knighted during the battle for the royal family!" "Since you are the eldest son, how did you become a wandering knight?" Edward asked curiously.
