Chapter 3 Laboring People

"Master Vega, you have absolutely no idea how beautiful a young lady Lily is now. (www.vodtw.com) I'm ashamed to say that she didn't learn much about witchcraft in the two years she went to the Baita to study, but it is true Dress up."

The noble man with brown shawl hair smiled and poured a cup of tea for Wei Jia, his face was full of excited smiles, and he looked like a child.

He gushed: "Lily and her uncle are about to be in the room now. I'll bring them over in a minute. Master, you drink tea first - this is the tea I made for you, just as you asked for it before. , with chocolate syrup and fried pandan leaves. Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for five or six years, and I don't know if my skills have declined..."

"—So, old friend."

Wei Jia took a sip of the characteristic black tea with a fragrant aroma, and took a deep look at his young friend, the contemporary family owner of Ketu Geya, and interrupted: "What kind of trouble are you in?"

"What's the trouble... In my territory, what other big trouble can I have?"

Angus Solans Ketugya, the well-known Viscount, scratched his hair with no noble demeanor at all, and smirked.

However, Vega just shook his head slightly.

"You're out of your mind, Angus."

He took another sip of black tea and glanced at Angus lightly: "The chocolate hasn't completely melted, and the pandan leaves are already mushy... Aren't you proud of the craftsmanship of making tea? I remember you made it. The taste of the tea, it's not your level."

"...I'm really sorry for the poor reception. Maybe I had a headache yesterday and I'm not in good shape today..."

"No, I didn't mean that. Angus."

Although there was a lot of bad comments in his mouth, Vega finally drank the black tea to the last drop, and then put the tray and cup on the table again before continuing to speak, and said softly: "I watched you and Alan grow up. I know you two brothers. If I heard that I was here, Ellen would definitely boil black tea with you... With his rigor, he wouldn't let you have such a chance for mistakes. So, Angus , you never mentioned to Alan about my coming... You know very well that I will not refuse your invitation."

"……Feel sorry."

"No need to be sorry, Angus," Vega's expression became more serious, but his tone became more insipid, "what happened between you and Alan? Is there anything we can't say directly based on our relationship? ?"

"No, Master Vega."

Having said that, Angus could only explain in a low voice, "This time it has nothing to do with Aaron... Maybe I have a problem."

"What's the matter? I don't remember I taught you to talk like that."

Master Wei Jia said displeasedly, stretched out his hand and stroked his neat white beard: "If you have something to say, don't learn from those people, you are the contemporary Solans, don't become For those fake aristocrats who know nothing but officialdom and shouting slogans... You must not forget your ancestor's teachings."

"Don't forget it. Live for the people, die for dignity - I always remember this phrase."

Angus said with a wry smile: "It's better to say, that's why I'm troubled."

"...A difference between you and Ellen?"

Wei Jia asked sharply.

"That's right," Angus nodded heavily, "that's a very...big difference."

"Alan had a quarrel with me last night... about the statue of His Majesty Saint Laurent."

He said, licking his chapped lips.

"Allen said that the Marquis is going to use sterling silver and emerald to make a big icon for His Majesty Saint Laurent," Angus made an exaggerated gesture with his hand, "probably... this big. More than two meters high statue."

"what!"

Vega was also surprised, the whole person sat up straight, his eyes widened: "The two-meter-high icon? Don't be kidding! Even the Marquis can't afford it!"

"I think so too."

Angus shook his head in distress: "Then, Allen told me that Lord Marquis is going to raise money."

"Fundraising? Tax collection!"

Wei Jia shook his head in disappointment, and his beard was shaking slightly in anger: "How could he do this! Lord Marquis really did something wrong this time!"

"...However, Allen expressed considerable support for this."

The corner of Angus' mouth tilted sarcastically: "Not only him, but also the kid of the Krishna family. Lord Marquis and his personal guards are like being bewitched by the devil. They are incredibly determined. I can't communicate with him at all..."

"No, you're right, Angus."

Vega frowned deeply: "I know that the economy of St. Angers can never support the construction of a two-meter-high holy elephant. This is no longer a matter of laboring the people and hurting the money... Damn, why is the Marquis so reckless!"

But after complaining, Vega immediately realized a problem.

"I remember you saying...he was strong-willed?"

Vega frowned and asked, "Who told him what? Did Alan have any ideas for you? Why don't you just call him out!"

But Angus just smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't stop you from meeting Alan. But now that he is with Lily, let's wait for him to come out by himself... I don't think Lily is suitable to know about this. ."

"Then has he mentioned, who told him what?"

"When you say that..."

Angus was stunned for a moment, and thoughtfully said: "Allen did say that the act of giving the statue of Saint Laurent itself is a representation. And this representation can make Saint Angers better than the entire Titan. Saint Laurent's support... But this kind of thinking itself is contrary to the family motto of the Ketugoya family, I can't help but stop him. But I persuaded him for half a night, but he still did not change at all, so I hesitated... …”

"So you thought, talk to me first?"

"That's right," Angus nods to admit, "I suspect maybe I'm too stubborn... After all, I can't force my thoughts on someone else's head, even if he's my brother. Otherwise, we What is the difference between the Ketugya family and others?"

"Yes, it's your style."

Vega nodded in admiration and asked, "So, has Alan mentioned who the person who told him about these things was?"

"Alan did mention two names~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but I don't know if they have anything to do with this matter," Angus recalled hard, "I remember one was Esther and the other was It's called Pal... or something, it's the name of a Suzer."

Hearing these two names, Vega's pupils instantly locked!

His right hand clenched suddenly, and it slowly loosened after a few seconds.

Angus looked at Vega in disbelief.

At that moment, he seemed to see a little bit of fear and hatred on the face of this old man who always had a gentle smile on his face?

"Master, is there something wrong with those two?"

Angus asked immediately, his brows full of worry.

Wei Jia was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "...No, I hope I guessed wrong." (To be continued.)
