Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter III Red Brick House

For Claude, the father Morssen’s harsh words and complaints against Grandpa are meaningless. No one can count on a young farmer who grew up to the age of 25 or 6 and has not left the Whitestag town. How much experience.

In fact, a farmer who has not eaten up and hunger and hunger and poverty is threatening to survive. He does not think of any title, essay, official position and the like. He is nothing but an ethereal reward. The real thing in the house is the greatest wealth in his eyes.

To know that his grandfather Habis had seen the biggest sum of money before this was the silver coin in the hands of the tavern owner. The biggest official who had dealt with the lord was the tax collector and butler of Whitestag town, and from time to time. A few whip.

So when he asked the Royal Highness Prince to ask for the Rothman Residence, he had already gathered all the courage, and he was ready to take another whip. In the eyes of the young Habis, the Korhogo-style building was the most beautiful red-brick house he had ever seen, and at a very young age he often watched from afar the swagger of the superior nobility and the flowery ladies and gentlemen, in a magnificent carriage, into the mansion, The laughter and the sound of music floated from the inside from time to time.

At that time, the little Habis thought that this beautiful red brick house was the paradise that his parents said, and he couldn't eat it, not to be afraid of the cold winter. When he grew up, his wish was to go to the red brick house to be a chores, but unfortunately the baron never hired a servant in the town.

Prince Karjad promised Habis' request, which was like a voice to Habis, and he was almost fainted on the spot.

The prince said that he immediately ordered the garrison soldiers to leave the most luxurious mansion in the town, taking only the seized weapons and some documents, and the property left by the baron family was left to Habis.

Habis a man sleepwalking in the holiest palace in this mind, silver cutlery and candlesticks, crystal glasses and crystal lamps, gilded door handles and gold frames of oil paintings on the wall, velvet curtains and wool carpets, and a box full of gold coins and silver coins, all of which, all of which, It's been one of his own since today …

Prince Karjad hurriedly took his armed team away in Whitestag town for only three days, fighting for the revival of Kingdom. Habis did not follow the team. First, his waist was not healed. Second, he was reluctant to leave the red brick house he had just acquired, and he was not assured to pay for it.

"If your grandfather gaze can go farther instead of staying in the town to be a watchdog, then follow the Karjad prince everywhere. Maybe our family will have a nobility estate in Wangdu, and they will receive a title, and then Don't stay in this town."

Mr. Morssen forgot the most important premise when he said this to his children, that is, his father was lucky enough to survive in the Kingdom Civil War, which lasted for more than three years. It is necessary to know that the Prince's Whitestag town stone squadron's rifle battalion 484 people and the 28 recruits recruited in the town, almost ruined when the prince was defeated in the pre-civil war. The eleven were still alive when the prince was on the throne, but the survivors were given a title, and the worst was the Lord, and was given to the family estate.

When these survivors returned to visit their relatives and friends, they sensationalized Whitestag town and the three southwestern counties. People only remember the glory and wealth that these survivors received, but they forgot the tears of the bones and their families who died in the battlefield.

The same is true of Mr. Morssen. Those who have not experienced the battlefield will only talk about the military and do not know the cruelty of the war. He believes that his father is a coward and incompetent, satisfied with the small wealth of the moment and wasting his best time to change his life, so that the Fred family can only stay in Whitestag town and can not go further.

In a sense, Claude's grandfather Habis is an honest farmer and a good person. When the news of his Prince's commendation to become Rodman Mansion, the new owner of the town's most beautiful red-brick house, spread, almost all the people on Whitestag town came to visit him, flatter him, praise him, and even when Habis himself was not clear, He became the first warrior of Whitestag town, and it was he who stormed the mansion and wiped out hundreds of ferocious enemies …

Because of the premature death of his parents, Habis welcomes the visits of these relatives and friends and neighbors, and every time he warmly welcomes the banquet. As he had imagined as a child, the red brick house was filled with joy, wine and barbecue…

So Habis's wealth was quickly reduced by the naked eye, and the silverware and crystal wine glasses at home were also missing. When Habis visited his house one day, he found that the wool carpets in those rooms were gone, the portraits were removed, and the golden frame disappeared. Even the velvet curtains on many windows have been cut by more than half, and the gold-plated door handles and brass door locks are gone, leaving only a black hole…

Habis spent a long time, and then suddenly realized that he began to close the door and thank the guests, while collecting the valuable things at home.

The red brick house is too big for Habis. In addition to the four lofts side by side, there are four suites on each of the third and second floors. Each suite has three rooms plus their own wash. The room and bathroom, while the first floor is a hall and a dining room, two kitchens, three utility rooms and warehouses, four servants and a shared bathroom.

For Habis, it was a heavy burden to clean the entire house. It took him three days and two nights to clean the house. However, the red brick house that nobody cares for has decayed very quickly. It took more than a year for the house to look worn out. The corners are covered with moss, and several windowsills have climbed the vines. The shingles on the roof are not painted, I don’t know when it will leak…

After experiencing a sharp decline in property, Habis, who had eaten a long and wise mind, began to be suspicious. He did not want to hire a domestic helper to clean it, fearing that his property would be stolen again. After thinking about it, he decided to find a wife and guard the family with himself. So he put the goal on the Miller's only daughter, Mollie Miller.

Faced with the first warrior of Whitestag town, the young newcomer Habis, the chubby big butt big Mollie is easy to hook, the 19-year-old girl is the age of fantasy, Habis is the white horse in Mollie's mind. prince.

The miller, Carmendor Miller, is one of the few people in town who doesn't see Habis. He thinks Habis is just a lucky nouveau riche. He hopes to find a door-to-door son-in-law who will inherit his mill after his death and give his baby the only child. Children live a life without worry.

So the miller refused Habis's proposal to ask the tavern owner to propose to his daughter. He said that Habis is not a sincere and brave person. If Habis is the first warrior of Whitestag town, then he should go to the ranks of Prince Karjad, bloody battle. The sand field, not here guarding his red brick house.

In addition, Habis's wind evaluation during this time was very poor. People said that he became stingy and embarrassed. The miller worried that his baby daughter would become a maid in the past, and was busy cleaning the red brick house all day, suffering and suffering…

It was a father's love for his daughter, but when the Miller returned to the mill and found the bare habis and his daughter on the straw heap next to the cyanobacteria grinder, he understood that everything was late, that the dough had gone into the oven and baked into bread, and that he was no longer willing to bless his daughter to find true love, Otherwise, it would be a joke in town that he and his daughter would be spread out.

Under the auspices of the priest of the Moon Temple, Mollie Miller, the daughter of the Miller, became the hostess of the red brick house. The miller soon found out that his fears became a reality, and her daughter was dressed in a maid house in a red brick house all day long.

"You can't go on like this anymore, even if you have more money, you can only spend a day out of it." And you still have no children. When Mollie has a child, the family will spend more. You must have a job to make money to ensure that your days will pass. ”The miller said bitterly to his son-in-law.

Habis thought for a long time: "Would you like me to buy some fields?"

The miller looked at him with contempt: "Do you think you can still afford the hoe?"

Habis is very shy, and he can't bear to live in the farmer's life.

"Would you like me to go to your help?"Habis said to his father-in-law.

"No, I still have to do it now, at least for more than ten years."The miller is very angry: "You wood bag, gold coins are not in front of you do not know how to go? Think about your red brick house, do you have any feelings? ”

"What about the house, the house?"Habis was immediately wary.

"I didn't hit your red brick house idea."The miller quickly clarified himself: "Don't be nervous, I mean, there are so many rooms in your house that it is too big for you and Mollie." Have you ever thought about using these rooms to make money for yourself? ”

"Make money? How to make money with these rooms? ”Habis is very confused.

Eh…The miller sighed that his son-in-law’s head was really open, and he explained it directly to him: “I mean, Habis, you can open a high-class hotel with your red brick house. You think about it, this house was originally the mansion of Baron in Rodman, and it has always been famous. In those houses, all the people in the house were in the upper class. Everyone was very curious about everything in the house.

If you change this house into a high-class hotel, then there must be a lot of people coming to the scene, and they want to experience what Baron's daily life is like. Then when you sit at home, you can easily earn money. Every visitor is like a wallet that gives you gold and silver coins. In the future, when you are old and you can't move, you can leave this high-class hotel to your children and grandchildren. This is an industry that can be passed down for centuries. ”

Habis was tempted, and his father-in-law described him a great career with great money, especially the last advice of the miller: "Believe me, Habis, you won't regret it." After a hundred years, your children will be proud of you…"

So Habis decided to adopt the Miller's suggestion to transform his beloved red brick house into a high-class hotel…
