Chapter 542

Hibiscus, also known as oil tree, or oil palm, is a valuable cash crop, which is mainly used for the production of fire oil, and hibiscus itself is also a high-quality fuel. When a blacksmith smelts refined gold and secret silver alloy, he must add oil wood to the furnace to increase the furnace temperature.

A five-year-old hibiscus tree can harvest 40 oil wood seeds worth silver sol every year. For Bauhinia trees over the age of 20, their wood only produces a little smoke when burning. It is the preferred fuel for noble people to warm up in winter. Each old tree can sell at least 30 gold sol at a high price.

The purple hibiscus tree is valuable, and its shape is also unique. The trunk is tall and straight, without branches. The Oval Purple leaves are born on the top of the trunk, bend and fall around, and look like a blooming purple flower from a high place. However, few nobles are willing to live next to the hibiscus tree, because its fruits and flowers always exude a nose covering smell, especially in the summer when the hibiscus flowers bloom, you can smell the smell like a dead mouse from a distance, attracting countless flies buzzing around the tree crown.

Compared with the value of oil trees, miss chebman doesn't care about the odd smell. When Victor built the noble manor for her, she insisted on replacing the ornamental vegetation with oil trees and named it Hibiscus manor.

In fact, the purple Hibiscus manor is basically a large farm, with 800 mu of oil forest, 4000 mu of farmland and pasture and a medium-sized stream reservoir. It has all kinds of facilities, such as farms, mills, warehouses, blacksmith shops, animal pens, stables, farmhouses and so on. In this area of more than 5000 mu, the only highlight is a garden villa in the southwest corner, which covers an area of less than 60 mu.

Only in this remote corner can you feel the artistic flavor, luxury and delicacy of noble leisure manor.

At this time, the silver moon was hanging high, and the houses in the purple Hibiscus manor were dark, except for the master bedroom on the third floor of the garden villa.

In the spacious and luxurious bedroom, dozens of lizard oil candles are lit. Gillian is sitting on the calf leather sofa in a short nightdress. A pair of thrilling long legs are tilted on the sofa table, round and straight, and her skin color is like honey. Under the candlelight, the shadow of her vigorous and graceful body fluctuates, filled with unspeakable charm.

At the moment, Gillian's narrow Phoenix eyes looked at the lizard oil candles on the silver candlestick one by one, and finally fell on a beautiful lady on the opposite sofa.

"Sally, we can see each other without candles. It's a waste to light 72 candles!"

The lady has chestnut hair, gray blue eyes, exquisite facial features to impeccable, snow-white and smooth skin, high nose and thin lip liner, leaving a strong and confident visual sense. Her legs are elegantly overlapped, her arms are open, and she is respectively on the armrests on both sides of the sofa. She is clearly on the guest sofa, but she seems to be sitting on the throne.

She is the guardian of the chebman family, the Countess of chebman, Gillian's mother, and the angry Knight Sally St Chebman.

"Your father saved money to make me spend money." The countess's smile was elegant and charming, and her tone was dignified.

Gillian raised her head, turned her eyes to the ceiling and said to herself, "in a moment, I'll let someone hide all the candlesticks here and see how you waste candles..."

Sally said faintly, "I didn't arrive at the purple Hibiscus manor from the blue goose castle to light candles, and you didn't prepare these exquisite candlesticks for me."

Gillian's expression was slightly stagnant. Her amber eyes turned twice and muttered, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Don't you usually hide silver candlesticks in your vault?"

"Ha, the silverware needs to be wiped out frequently so that it won't change color and blacken, so that it can be sold at a good price. I maintained the candlestick today, and you just caught up with me..."

Salyst put her legs together, changed a soft and friendly sitting position, smiled and said, "seven days ago, his highness Randall left the Rose Manor and is on the way back to Randall's collar."

Gillian's eyes brightened, her legs on the sofa table immediately fell down, leaned forward, and asked happily, "really? His car will be back in five days..."

"No wonder this news will make you so happy. Since his highness Randall returned to Renma hill, you have been waiting for him at the purple Hibiscus manor for 16 days... How long are you going to wait?"

Gillian looked cold, stared at the countess, clenched her teeth and asked, "what do you mean?"

"His highness Randall stayed at Rose Manor for 9 days and met his friends one by one. He still has many things to deal with when he returns to Randall's collar. He may not come to meet you... Maybe you have to wait a few more days."

"Of course, I'm sure you'll get together... In short, you're the last lover he'll see," said Sally

Gillian put her legs on the mahogany sofa table again, leaned against the soft sofa pillow and said lazily: "Dear Sally, I've long been used to your way of speaking. I don't care about your sarcasm at all... What's the matter with me being the last lover to meet Victor? For him, I'm a unique Gillian chebman... What's the matter with waiting a few more days? If he doesn't come to the hibiscus manor, I can go to the silver moon manor..."

"Then why don't you go to Rose Manor to congratulate your lover on his promotion like others?"

Gillian raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "don't worry."

The countess smiled, shook her head and said softly: "Honey, you know very well that you are not a high-level female Knight of the man horse hill, and Victor is his highness of the man horse hill. You are a Silver Knight and he is his highness of gold blood. You will not have children. If you continue to entangle together, it will only embarrass both sides... Let go. This is your right and a step to preserve your face."

"I don't... never!"

Gillian puffed up her cheeks, and the countess asked with a smile, "why?"

Gillian turned her mind and thought of a powerful reason: "I heard that Victor brought back many treasures from Neville, full of more than a dozen wagons... I'm waiting for the courtship gift he prepared for me." As she spoke, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and the corners of her mouth tilted to outline a bright smile.

Glancing sideways at her overjoyed daughter, Sally said with disdain, "how many gold coins can the courtship gift be worth? 5000 gold coins... Or 50000 gold coins? In a few years, we will move into copper city and become the master of the southern territory of Gambis, and how can your inheritance be measured by money?"

Gillian looked at her mother with pity and said, "what does it have to do with me receiving Victor's courtship gifts? He owes me a lot of courtship gifts. This time, I let him supply me, hem!"

Seeing her daughter's charming and naive appearance, Sally couldn't help laughing, shaking her head and sighing: "My baby, what you don't want is not the courtship gift, but the person who gave the courtship gift... You should taste love at your age. I don't want to stop you, not at all. However, as your mother, I can't watch my child lose his future. You should understand that his highness Randall doesn't belong to you. He belongs to the queen of roses and the hills of men and horses... Or The man and horse hills belong to him. "

"How can a mere Viscount Randall be worthy of a highness? Mrs. Sylvia banned the Randall family from recruiting knights and asked the family in Renqiu Maling to implement a policy similar to Randall's. Now the Randall family can integrate into the political circle of Renma hill very smoothly without any obstacles and no major unrest... Mrs. rose started eight years ago Paved the way for his highness Randall to take charge... And we never made any preparations to welcome his highness Randall... I'm talking about his highness Randall, not the original Baron Victor Wimbledon. "

Gillian said angrily, "why confuse love with family interests? Does my love have to sacrifice for family interests?"

"Dear Miss chebman, you said the opposite."

Salyst lifted her legs and said calmly: "The political systems established by knights and nobles all serve knights and nobles. The eldest son inheritance system, guardian system, the principle of silence, the principle of partnership and so on all embody a core content - the power of respect. In the family, trainee Knights get the respect that trainee Knights deserve, and riders get the respect that Knights deserve, including silver knights and gold knights. Golden Knights can fight Kill the knight who offends him, but do not deprive the opponent of the respect they deserve, for example, allowing them to surrender. "

"Respect is only for one purpose - to clarify yourself."

Sally Stuart paused and said softly: "My daughter, one day, you will be baptized by the element sea. He washes your soul and washes your emotions and instincts. Once you lose yourself, you will only be assimilated by the element sea and become a part of the origin of the world... Family interests are our knight's interests. If one day, the family needs you to sacrifice your will and cut off your knight's road, I ask you to abandon the family , don't hesitate. If love becomes your obstacle and makes you lose yourself, please give up love and don't hesitate... The knight's partner principle is to protect your right. "

"High level Knights enjoy love, but never lose themselves and are not bound by love."

Gillian hummed, "Victor is not a high-ranking Knight..." then added concealedly, "he still owes me a lot of courtship gifts."

The countess said angrily: "How can I have such an idiot daughter as you... You are the heir of the chebman family and loyal to the augustian royal family. He is the royal highness of the horse hill. You have lost the foundation of mutual trust. He can't dissolve your partnership with you, but he can alienate you and ignore you... If you think you can continue your knight road with him, I'll let your brother replace you Inheritance, you go to work for Renma hill. The question is, can you have children? If you can't be a mother, your life will be incomplete. With regret, how to face the erosion of the element sea? Do you think you are princess Roland? "

Gillian stuck her neck and said stubbornly, "you're not him. How do you know he doesn't trust me? I trust him, he knows, so he also trusts me... It's so simple for us to be together. He won't ask me to give up family interests, and I won't betray him for family interests."

"It's naive of you to speculate on the idea of a highness." The countess shook her head and said, "I bet he won't take the initiative to see you. This is the most obvious signal of alienation..."

As soon as the voice fell, a breeze suddenly appeared beside Gillian's body, blowing her hair like a lover's caress.

"Victor!"

Gillian jumped up in surprise, ran to the window barefoot, opened the wooden window and jumped down without hesitation. Salyst was shocked. Her gray green eyes turned to deep green. She got up and went to the open window. Looking out, she saw a tall and straight figure standing on the straw shed hundreds of meters away in the moonlight. Gillian, wearing a short Nightgown, quickly swept to the hut, then jumped up high, and her graceful body fell into the arms of uninvited guests. The hut collapsed in an instant, and the two people fell directly into the hut.

At this time, the startled guard led the barking hounds to patrol around. The guard whistled one after another, the fire lit up, and the whole manor woke up.

Charlotte summoned the housekeeper of the villa, raised her chin to the lonely hut and asked, "where is that?"

The housekeeper looked up and replied respectfully, "the warehouse for storing hay."

"... forage warehouse" the countess's expression remained unchanged, still noble and dignified, and lightly ordered: "clear the alarm and let them all go back to bed."

"Yes."

When the housekeeper bowed away, the countess asked again, "is there a mouse in it?"

"This... There are two cats in the warehouse." The housekeeper indirectly explained that there were mice in it.

"... hehe" the countess finally smiled, shook her head and said almost silently: "love..."

"Prepare me a horse and gather my entourage. I'm going back to blue goose castle."

******************

On the haystack in the warehouse, Gillian pouted her round and upturned ass, carefully explored Victor's clothes and trousers, then turned around, touched Victor's forehead, stared at his dark golden eyes, raised her eyebrows and asked:

"Where's my courtship present?"

"... am I not?"

Gillian clung to victor like an octopus, licked his plump lips and said coquettishly, "show me a golden eye."
