Chapter 347

The carriage was on its way to Cote province. Duvet was sitting in the carriage. Opposite him, there was a middle-aged man with a respectful look. He was dressed in a gorgeous robe and a gold belt. He was obviously dressed as a nobleman, but his complexion was a little bit dark, and his figure was quite big, and his knuckles were a little thick. All these were despised by the orthodox and proud nobles. For a truly proud aristocrat, the dream is a pale face and that slender figure.

And this guy... Looks a little bit more rude.

This man was no one else, but a nephew of old MUNEs, the finance minister of the Roland empire. He had also served in the army, and was later transferred to the imperial Inspectorate as a deputy commander and a baron.

After donating 50 million gold coins to the army, Duwei got a royal pardon from the Rowling family. This time, he went south to his hometown in the Rowling plain to announce the event in person.

And this fellow, as an official of the imperial Inspectorate, was the one ordered by the regent to convey the amnesty.

... in fact, there is another meaning in sending this man and Dewey to the Lorraine plain. This guy is the nephew of the chancellor of the exchequer, and the Rowlings have an engagement with the family of the chancellor of the exchequer. Dewey's younger brother and the little granddaughter of the chancellor of the exchequer have made an engagement very early, but later, when the Rowlings fall down, no one mentions this matter. Originally, if the Rowlings do not have the hope to recover, then this engagement will be void, after all. The people of the Rowling family are not stupid. They don't think that their family is broken and they can marry the granddaughter of the Tang imperial finance minister.

The relationship between the two families gradually faded. But this time the Regent himself signed the amnesty order, the Rowling family had the hope of a comeback, although the political career of the old count Raymond had ended, because the amnesty order signed by the Regent only agreed to restore the title of the Rowling family, and allowed the Rowling family to decide the successor of the next count. But. Count Raymond's official position was not restored, and even the restriction of never being employed on him was nowhere to go. After all, he used to be one of the leaders of the coup. This kind of big crime can't be forgiven. Otherwise, wouldn't the Regent hit himself in the mouth?

Old Raymond can't get out of the mountain again, but little Gabriel. But all people are optimistic! This little guy, who has been known as a genius since he was a child in the imperial capital, was originally very smart, but now he has got the news of the restoration of the title of the Rowling family... What's more, he also has a red tulip Duke brother! In the future, when this little guy becomes an adult, his official career will be bright!

under these circumstances. To repair the relationship with the Rowling family has become a top priority for the chancellor of the exchequer. This time, his nephew went to the Rowling plain with Dewey. On the one hand, he issued an amnesty order in his official capacity as the imperial Inspectorate. Another important thing is to repair the relationship with the Rowling family with the goodwill representative of the finance minister's family. At the same time, we are ready to bring up the old story again. We hope that the engagement between the two families can continue. At the same time, we also meet little Gabriel, the future Earl of the Rowling family, to see if this little guy is still so good

The carriage went all the way south, urged by Dewey's eagerness to return. All the way around, the nephew of the finance minister was very cooperative and did not put forward any opinions.

Dewey had a good impression on this guy. He used to serve in the imperial army. He was not a dandy and aristocrat, but rather a man. Although he worked hard all the way, he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Talk and do. His manner, words and deeds are quite straightforward.

Finally, this day. Arriving at the feicui River, that is, the Luolin River, Duwei knew that walking through this river was the official entry into the Luolin plain. He could not help recalling the scene when he came here for the first time, when the guards and cavalry of the Rowling family cheered and chanted "home".

Home... Here, it should be my home.

"Dagong, after crossing the river, you will come to the territory of the Rowlings." The passenger in the carriage asked with a smile.

Dewey nodded, but his mouth said, "Baron Kopp, this is not the plain of Lorraine, but the province of Cote."

Kop said with a smile, "it's not the same. You're too polite. After the amnesty is issued, it will be the Lorraine plain again." After a pause, he added: "before I came here, my uncle, Lord MUNEs, also told me that the Lorraine plain is fertile and beautiful. If there is such a territory, why does the Rowling family worry about prosperity? "

Dewey knew that this guy was ordered to mend the relationship. After listening to his compliment, he didn't say anything, just laughed.

On the fifth day of the journey, he arrived at the castle of the Rowling family, where Dewey had lived for a year.

However, the private guard camp of Rowling's family, which was originally stationed outside the castle, had been removed long ago. The carriage came all the way to the outside of the castle, and there was no Rowling's guard cavalry to greet it. It seemed very quiet around, even in the past

Alas, I remember when I was there, and now, on the grass beside the road, there are still many soldiers playing football during the holidays.

At this time, Rodriguez's voice came from outside: "here we are, Duke."

Dewey opened the car window, looked at the towering Rowling family castle, as well as the high tower... Could not help sighing.

Mother, I still didn't let you down, the Rowling family... Was finally restored by me!

The carriage team entered the castle and came out to meet the old housekeeper hill. After Duwei jumped out of the car, the old housekeeper's face seemed to be a little excited. Duwei had already photographed the advance knights on the way and arrived first. They must have known about their return this time.

Sure enough, just after the old housekeeper saluted the young master, he heard a happy and surprised voice coming from the gate of the castle: "brother!"

Then, a young man ran out and threw his head on Dewey. Dewey laughed. He hugged his brother hard, then pulled him away and looked at it carefully.

I haven't seen him in the last two years. He seems to have grown up a lot. His body became stronger and stronger, but now he was wearing a white Samurai training suit and a short sword around his waist. It seemed that he had the temperament of the heirs of the Wulin family.

Knowing that this is not a place for reminiscence, Du Wei introduced the popular popular popular science Baron, and then looked inside: "where's mother?"

Gabriel was worried: "mother is in the room... Father is not well recently. His mother was with him in the room. What's more, my mother wanted to come down to see you, but because of the arrival of a distinguished guest, my mother said that she was a member of the family and it was not convenient for her to come out to meet the guests. It was not polite. "

Then Gabriel coughed and stood in silence. Facing the popular science Baron, he said, "is this the popular science adult of the imperial inspection office? I already know your intention. I'm just sorry that my father is ill and can't come down to meet you. "

Not very well? Dewey frowned slightly, and then he was polite to Kop. "I'm sorry, Baron of science popularization. In this case, please come to my room with me to see my father. The pardon will be read in the room. "

Science popularization didn't care about this, so he nodded and agreed.

Then, duvi and Kopp, led by Gabriel, enter the castle and come to the master bedroom upstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, Dewey heard a heavy cough in the room. The sound made Dewey's heart jump. His father seemed very ill.

When he pushed the door in, he saw a big bed in the middle of the room. Old count Raymond was lying there. His huge body seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It looked like an old and thin lion. His face was no longer as ruddy as before. It looks very waxy yellow, and the eye socket seems to be deeply concave. Even the eyes that used to look like they were a little cloudy

Du Wei can't help but feel sad: father, how old are you?

It seems that he was dismissed from all official posts and lost his ancestral title and territory. Although his father survived and returned to his hometown, he must be extremely remorseful of himself! As the head of the Luolin family, the Luolin family was destroyed in his generation. The father who took the family as his own responsibility must have suffered a lot in the past two years. The famous generals of the former empire have now become a weak sick man

The countess was standing by the bed. In Dewey's eyes, the mother was still as beautiful as ever. Although the corners of her eyes had already wrinkled and time had gradually invaded her beauty, she stood there quietly with light makeup. The tenderness and kindness in her eyes made Dewey's heart immediately warm.

He took a deep breath, strode into the room, and knelt down beside the bed: "father! Mother! I'm back! "

The countess, with a trace of deep love on her face, went up and gently hugged her son's head. She gently stroked Dewey's hair with her slender fingers, and without speaking, she looked at her son quietly.

Count Raymond, who was on the bed, struggled to sit up and looked at his son kneeling in front of the bed. He coughed a few times, but sighed and whispered, "Dewey... You've been working hard for the past two years."

Then, Baron Kopp came in, and after the ceremony with the two of them, just before count Raymond's bed, he read out the amnesty order signed by the Regent himself.

After reading, the old count's eyes suddenly burst out with astonishing looks! At this moment, he seems to have become the famous general of the Empire where he led the army expedition in the past. He took a deep breath: "I can't imagine that my Rowling family will recover one day!" He looked at his eldest son and whispered, "Dewey! thank you! Otherwise, the Rowling family will be ruined in my hands. I'm afraid that even if I die, I can't forgive myself! "

The Baron of popular science said with a smile: "Raymond... You and I have known each other for a long time. This time, it's thanks to the Duke of tulip! You and I are family friends. I'm here with my uncle's greetings. "

Count Raymond laughed. "Well, Baron Kopp, please help me convey my thanks to Lord Munez."

"It's just a pity, old friend. I think you can understand that your official rank can't be restored. The Regent restored the title of the Rowling family. In addition to issuing a pardon, I have another thing to do this time. As for the title of the Earl of the Rowling family, please decide the successor of the title. When I go back. Take it back and report it to the Regent, as well as the royal clan... After all, the Rowling family is part of the royal clan. " heir? Who else is there besides little Gabriel? It's just a passing. Old Raymond laughed, and then politely asked the special envoy to the best guest room to have a rest. When there were only four people left in the room, count Raymond had a heavy expression on his face: "Dewey, this is the issue of imperial decree. I didn't need you to come. Now that you are back, there must be something else important? " Dewey nodded, his expression is not relaxed: "father... There is something important, well, I come back this time. On the one hand, it's for the pardon order, on the other hand, it's for the support of the family! When my younger brother becomes earl, I need the full support of the Rowling family! And the private army of the family... "He didn't finish. Count Raymond suddenly laughed and said, "well, I'm not going to talk about these things now. Dewey, I'm very weak. I need a rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow Dewey was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded with a smile: "well, father, I'll go to my room tonight..." he originally said that he would go back to rest tonight. But before he finished, count Raymond suddenly said, "no, you can't go back to your room tonight!"“ You sleep in your study tonight Count Raymond looked at his son. His eyes flashed and he said, "this is our tradition!" Pass on... Tradition? Dewey was a little queer. Tradition is right... But. I'm no longer the heir of the Rowlings! But looking at his father on the bed, Dewey did not raise any objection. I went out obediently. Hill, the old housekeeper, is ready for everything. Tonight, Dewey is still sleeping in the study of the castle. Count Raymond left Gabriel in the room. He looked at his little son, his face suddenly felt guilty: "Gabriel, will you be dissatisfied with my decision?" Gabriel young face, but full of resolute: "no, father, all your decisions, I think it is right."“ You're smart. My son Count Raymond suddenly reached out and called his youngest son to the bed, gently stroking his face: "but I don't think you can lead the family to glory. So, my decision is still: you inherit my earl. But... The position of patriarch, I decided to let Dewey take it! " Gabriel did not have any objection. In young Gabriel's opinion, it's natural to follow his brother“ My body, I know very well that I can't live long. " Old Raymond seemed to smile, and his wife, with deep pain in his eyes. Old Raymond gently took his wife's hand, and then looked down at his little son: "Gabriel, remember my words, never forget, always remember!" Father, what“ Your brother Old Raymond's tone was more serious than ever: "follow him! Follow him all your life, be by his side and be loyal to him Dewey went back to this amazing study, valued the high bookcase around the room, and looked at the paintings on the wall. It was here that he found Semel. I'm going to live in my study again tonight... But what my father said just now. Tradition... The tradition of the Rowling family is that only the patriarch or heirs have to live in the study on the first night when they return to the castle（ This tradition was introduced earlier in this book. But now I'm not a member of the Rowling family in terms of name and identity. In the study, the servants had brought food and water, and when the door closed, duvet was left alone. When I lived here alone, I was still a powerless and spoiled young master. But now, he has become a successful Duke, as long as a word, he can call tens of thousands of people to die for himself! Looking at the painting on the wall, Dewey suddenly smiles“ Here is the beginning of a series of adventures! I don't know if there will be any interesting things tonight... "
