The 201st chapter really is still cute sister(1/2)

Wuliu looked at the girl dressed in a rural village girl in front of her in surprise. He could never have imagined that Ruosha would look like this.

In his impression, although Ruosha was not as gorgeous as other noble ladies, she always dressed herself up like Lucrezia, but she always looked like a typical lady.

But now Ruosha looks like a simple and hardworking village girl. Apart from her clothes obviously being cleaner and tidy than those rural women who work all year round, she can hardly tell the difference between them and those rural girls who are working in the fields.

Of course, when she was really standing in front of her, the difference was immediately revealed, but before Uriu really didn't notice that Miss Kosencha's Earl was working with those country women.

Ruosha had an inexplicable fragrance on her body, which was the smell emitted by several different flowers and plants. The smell smelled very much, which made her look a little unrestrained and rare before.

Uriu greeted him in a hurry, but at the same time he kept wandering around, because he was too surprised and couldn't even remember what he had said for a long time.

"Did my brother ask you?" Ruosha asked again. She seemed very satisfied with the surprise that her outfit brought to the Moors, so she didn't mind asking again.

"Yes, Miss Earl, Master asked me to send you a letter," Uriu said, and quickly took out the last letter. "Miss, Master is getting married, and he hopes you can attend his wedding."

This time Uliu said it very directly and did not cover it up at all because he knew it was not necessary.

But before, he was thinking about how to deal with Ruosha's next question after saying this, but now it seems that Miss Earl doesn't care so much.

"Oh, I think it's soon, after all, they've been engaged for so long," Ruosha said, opening the letter at will, and then put it away. "Okay, Uriu tell me, have you ever met my mother and uncle?"

"Yes, I've seen the Countess and the Earl."

"So you saw that Nashan too?"

Uliwu didn't know how to answer, so he tried to make his answer more satisfactory, but Ruosha didn't give him a chance to think about it.

"I don't think Alexander would want to see this if that Bohemian dared to collude with my mother."

"Master, it seems that the master can't care about the wife's affairs," Uliwu glanced at Ruosha quietly. Seeing that the count was not angry at his words, he quickly followed Ruosha who was walking towards the farm and whispered carefully behind her, "After all, the wife lived a very free life in her past."

"But this time it's that Nashan," Ruosha grabbed a handful of dried flowers in the basket supported by her side and rubbed them hard in her palm. After a while, she twisted them into a pile of pieces and flew away with the wind along her fingers. "How dare he seduce my mother? Tell Alexander about this, I want to know what he thinks."

"I heard from you to the Count Miss." Uriu could only respond in a low voice. He felt that the most rational thing at this time was not to interrupt, and what should I do if I report it to the master.

"Agri is good now," Ruosha suddenly changed the subject. She took Uriu into a very low but well-ventilated house. Looking at the golden beehives placed on the shelves, Ruosha said proudly, "These are our property, and those dried flowers are useless to others, but to us they are inexhaustible money."

"You mean perfume?" Uliu lowered his voice slightly.

"Yes, we can make perfume here. It's Alexander's achievements. His things can bring us a lot of money. You must know that our family's share in the trade union has been completely mortgaged to others. If we fail, maybe we can only make a living by these things."

Ruosha said, and walked out from a door on the other side of the house with Uriu. Seeing the tall chimneys behind the house that had long attracted attention but didn't know what it was. Uriu looked at the building that looked like a bulging semicircular small house under the chimney with curiosity.

You can smell a fainting smell from afar. Uliu can't help but stop when she smelled the smell.

"It's not that you want to taste that thing, let alone that thing cannot be drunk," Ruosha smiled at Uliu with a wrong face, which made Uliu stunned again. He found that Miss Earl seemed to have become much cheerful or gentler than before. "That was the essential oil room built by Alexander to make perfume, and our perfume was made from there."

"I heard about this. Speaking of which, many nobles in Rome now like to use perfume."

"Especially Lucrezia is right?" Ruosha suddenly asked. Seeing the Moorish black and shiny face a little white, Ruosha smiled. "Don't be scared like this. I know that Alexander loves that Lucrezia very much because he sent someone to designate the perfume of various fragrances for her, just to let the Pope's daughter choose what she likes at will."

Uriu could only nod his head silently. He didn't know what the master was thinking, but he actually let the Earl Miss know this. Perhaps the master would not have thought that the Earl Miss would stay in a countryside like Agri for a long time and become a village girl.

"I never thought Agri could bring us so much wealth and so much fun," Ruosha said, looking back at Burley, who was greeting workers. "Those people are not very diligent in their work. I think if they are lazy here, they may be even more disobedient if they come to Crete."

"Young Master Burley has told me that there is still someone rioting?"

"Yes, a group of brave fools," Ruosha said in a deliberate imitation of Berry's tone, and then fell into a brief silence. Until Uriu felt like he wanted to find a quarrel to break the silence, Ruosha still looked at the workers working in the distance, and asked in a slightly cold voice, "Does Lucrezia know about Alexander's marriage?"

"I already know Miss," Uriu replied cautiously. He knew that Ruosha was the real Earl Miss at this time. He always felt that she was playing someone. "Miss Lucrezia began to be a little excited until," he thought for a while and felt that it was safer to tell the truth. "Until the master went to Pisa in person to comfort her."

"It seems that he really likes that woman," Ruosha grabbed a handful of dried flowers and rubbed them in her hands. This action made Uliu feel a little scared. "Are you afraid that she will be sad, so you go to Pisa to comfort her?"

"Miss, you know, she is the mother of the Master's daughter," Uriu reminded carefully. "Miss Esteles is now the Duke of Pisa, so the Master cannot have any unpleasantness with her mother."

"Are you saying he is for his daughter, or for pizza?"

Regarding this somewhat malicious question, Uliu decided to remain silent. He bowed and avoided Ruosha's eyes. At the same time, he was puzzled that he would ask the master to allow him to rest for a while after going back. This trip was really terrible.

"Come on, let me show you other things," Ruosha did not make things difficult for Uriu anymore. She asked someone to lead a horse. After calling up Boreli again, the three of them began to walk along the country road towards the fields that extended far away.

Although Uriu did not follow when Alexander left Agri, he did not return here for a while.

Along the way, Uliu felt that this place had indeed changed a lot.

According to Alexander's arrangement before his departure, because a large number of middle-aged men were recruited one after another, in order not to delay Agri's farm work, the lord fields shared by each farm were distributed to the lords. After the land tax that should be paid and the harvest paid to the lords according to the regulations, each family could still leave enough food.

As for the proportion of various in-kind taxes that should be paid to the lord, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the leaders, Alexander planned to generously reduce nearly half of the amount at that time, but after hearing about this, Ruosha immediately dispelled her brother's "absurd idea".

"It is their responsibility to pay in-kind taxes to the lords," Ruosha said to Alexander sternly at that time. "In this way, they can remember who their lord is, and we can always forget the obligations that should be shouldered to the people on the territory."

This righteousness caused Alexander to retreat instantly, so Agri's rent and interest reduction movement died before it even began. The corrupt and ruthless ruling class still cruelly exploited the peasants in the territory.

As for the physical tax and land rent, Uliu didn't have much impression of it. After all, what he had been by Alexander was not doing to collect rent for the lord to the countryside. However, listening to the words of Ruosha with a vague shadow visible in the distance on the road, Uliu felt that it shouldn't be a small amount of money.

Of course, this is no longer very important to Alexander now. Apart from the money-making things like honey perfume, what Agri really paid attention to was not the taxes, but the grain production area in southern Italy.

Naples, Taranto, Bari and the large archipelago along the coast of the Lower Treonian Sea, to the edge of Sicily, the vast land and many cities along the coast were counting on Agri's food.

Especially the food that Agri had traveled in time when Naples was famine, which solved the most urgent food, made the entire Southern Italy see the importance of this land.

It is also because of this that when Uriu saw a group of soldiers appearing in the distance, he was not surprised.

The former Kosencha was the caregiver of the Agri region, and now with the development of Alexander in Agri, the Kosencha people have even penetrated into the entire Agri.

Uriu suddenly looked at Burelli who was slightly behind. He felt that perhaps Burelli was not disgusted with his errands in Agri, probably because he thought it was a good thing for Kosencha. After all, if this continues, Kosencha will be able to completely annex the entire Agri.

Thinking of this Uriu, he couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know what would happen if Berry noticed the too intimate relationship between the master and sister in the future. I think there would be another storm.

After walking for a long time, the shadow in the distance gradually became clear. Uriu finally saw clearly that it should be the foundation of a large house.

The house has started construction, but judging from the scale, it should not be built for a while.

"This is our villa in Agri," Ruosha said to the Moors with a slight pride. Those farms are too simple. If you want to live here, you need a decent place."

"You are right, Miss." Uliu nodded in a bad way, looked at the drawings of the house that Ruosha showed him, and tried hard to record the appearance of the entire house, and prepared to report to the master after going back.

It is a very rural farm style building. Compared with the solemn palace that is popular in the city today, this house with ease and tranquility is still a kind of home warmth even if it is just a bunch of sketches on the drawings.

"This will be a very comfortable house. Tell my brother that I want him to care more about it, because if he has to come back here in the future, he will need a house to shelter him from the wind and rain."

Uriu nodded tactfully. He thought that it would be better not to touch the Earl Miss's obscene head at this time, otherwise the seemingly cheerful Earl Miss might suddenly explode next.

"Agri can make a lot of money for us. I never thought about anything else except food, but now we are really creating wealth, and even those woods are useful. All of this is Alexander's masterpiece."

Ruosha praised Alexander without hesitation, and then after Burley, who looked unhappy, walked away, she said to Uriu seriously: "Listen, I want you to tell Alexander that if he didn't just want to build a small farm in Crete and enjoy it, then everything we are doing now is far from enough."

"Miss, are you talking about those plantations?"

"Yes, Crete is really big. Although I haven't been there, I have met some merchants during this period. According to them, although Crete is a Venetian colony, because the island is large enough, it does not prevent us from opening up plantations."

Speaking of this, something strange flashed in Ruosha's eyes.

"It's so far away that no one can know us." Ruosha's eyes flashed. "So tell your master, if he can make more people believe that the Ottomans will not attack Crete, maybe more people will be willing to take risks with us."

"I will bring you words," Uriu said and looked at Ruosha again. He knew that Miss Earl should have something to say.

Sure enough, Ruosha continued: "Agri has become more important now, and because of his relationship with Kosencha, it seems that he has attracted the attention of the king."

"Miss, I heard some rumors while delivering a letter to the Earl."

Looking at Uliu's careful appearance, Ruosha pursed her lips and smiled.

"Are you talking about the rumors that the king wants to marry me?"

"And Prince Ryan."

Ruosha looked at Uriu and saw the Moors standing there obediently. Ruosha suddenly asked: "What would Alexander do if he heard these rumors?"

Moore's face was stunned. He never expected that Ruosha would ask him such an unanswerable question.

Uriu should be able to guess what would happen if Alexander heard the rumors. Even the King of Naples would not want to steal his "sister".

But Uriu knew that even if he knew this, he would never be able to say it.

Otherwise, even if it is not a head-losing thing, it will be a plantation in Crete.

"The master will definitely follow your opinion. If you are not interested in the crown of Naples, I believe the master will definitely stand in front of the king for you."

Ruosha looked at Uriu with a picky look for a while, and then she suddenly laughed.

"I have to admit that there is a reason why my brother would favor you so much."

"This is my honor, Miss Earl." Uriu bowed his head obediently again.

"Okay, things are indeed as you heard, and the king may think that marrying me will clear the obstacles for him to eventually rule Agri."

"But Agri is the master's territory." Uriu's face showed a look of astonishment.

Looking at Uliu's face that became ugly, Ruosha was not angry.

"Don't worry, of course I know how to protect my brother's rights," Ruosha said to comfort the Moors who seemed to be about to protest loudly. "But I can see that the king seemed to be making some ideas. I think this is probably related to that Nashan."

Uliu's heart immediately jumped. He looked at Ruosha with a little uneasy, a little afraid that she would say something that made things worse.

But he came to whatever he was afraid of. Ruosha said slowly: "That Nashan came to Naples for help at the order of the Queen of Bohemia. But although he had been there for a while, the king had ignored him before, but not long ago, the king suddenly agreed to see him, and soon he appeared in our house."

Listening to Ruosha's words, Uliu's face became gloomy. He knew that the home Ruosha should be the Du Yilan Palace of Earl Modilo. Thinking about the scene he had just seen with his own eyes, Uliu felt that he vaguely understood the meaning of the Earl's words.

Although George Anne Alexander's mother, Uriu did not think that this was a reason that would make him ignore his master's interests.

"Miss, do you mean this is the king's arrangement?"

"I just suspect it was the king's idea."
