Chapter 190 The Seven Marys
ps: First update, ask for tickets, ask for subscription.
The Earl of Wellington became the Marquess of Edinburgh, and Edward also gave him three small manors under a thousand acres in Scotland, which did not make him the real master of Edinburgh.
The next scene is basically the same. First, Edward calls the name of the person, then kneels down on one knee in front of Edward, and Edward reads his achievements. In the end, there is no such thing as what he said to the Marquess of Edinburgh. They are not worthy of the title.
Baron Smith was named Viscount Sandel, and was rewarded by Edward with a castle and a thousand-acre manor near the castle. Basically, he is not considered a court nobleman, but his territory is not as big as a baron, so the nobles still Treat him like a court noble.
Major James was named Baron Belwar, owning a castle and a manor with 800 acres of fertile land, which is a lot of property.
Major Dio was conferred the title of Baron Huntington by Edward, which is also a claim that it is only a manor with a thousand acres of fertile land near Huntington, which is considered a favor!
Don't underestimate the title of Baron. Although the most nobles are barons, the titles and fiefs of barons are passed on through blood and marriage, and cannot be sold or transferred at will, and the kings of all dynasties did not increase or deprive the titles of nobles at will.
For example, in 1387, Richard II added the title of baron for the first time, and Biochampo de Hoult was named Baron of Kidderminster. In the following hundreds of years, the Howert family has been a baron, rich and powerful for hundreds of years.
So, after this grand ceremony, the faces of those who were conferred had happy smiles all the time, and they kept saying hello to the surrounding nobles and ministers.
Among them, Major Dio was the most popular one among the nobles.
Others, such as Viscount Smith and Baron James, are both in their 30s and 40s, and they have already given birth to children.
But this Baron Dior from the Couslant family in France is still single, which is a potential stock.
Besides, Major Dio is only in his twenties, which is considered young among the nobles, and it is not a disadvantage to have married a daughter in the past.
Moreover, even if you are fifty or sixty years old, just relying on your status as a baron, it is not a loss to have a wave of marriages.
Therefore, compared with other people, Major Dio has the most densely populated people, which is three or four times that of Smith and others.
Looking at so many people around him, and asking about his age and marital status one by one, Major Dio, no matter how stupid he is, understands that he has become a favorite.
Looking at the crowded crowd in front of him, Major Dio thought silently: "It turns out that being popular is still an annoying thing."
There was a wry smile in my heart, but the newly promoted Baron Kosland showed a smile on his face, and smiled and said hello to the nobles and ministers who came to say hello.
Baron Dio also selectively answered and explained some questions. After half an hour, he felt his face stiffen from laughing, and the crowd slowly receded.
"Huh—" In the corner where the crowd was sparse, Baron Dio let out a sigh of relief. For him, who came from France, these nobles and ministers must have a good relationship, and it is impossible to refuse directly.
In the future, he will have to adapt to his interactions with nobles and ministers. He is no longer the son of the baron who is dedicated to fighting.
Baron Dio had a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to look at the crowd in a circle, and took the first step.
Just when Major Dio made up his mind to integrate into England, Edward had already left on his own.
He knew that the next moment would be the time for the nobles to communicate. If he stayed, those ministers and nobles would be very cautious, so it was better not to stay.
Besides, he didn't want to chat with this group of conservative nobles who had nothing to talk about.
At this time, in the garden behind Windsor Castle, the garden was full of flowers and trees, and a group of noble women in England were having fun with smiles on their faces.
An unknown bird stood on a branch, tilted its head, and looked curiously at the group of huge monsters in front of it. It didn't take long to see them showing **** mouths, enough to wrap it in one bite, and it frightened it hurriedly flapped its wings and moved away. Location.
The giant in the eyes of the birds is the Queen Mother Mary brought by Edward from Edinburgh, his sisters Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary, and the restless little loli.
Expensive high-grade linen cloth dyed with patterns was spread casually on the grass, and the maids bent over and stood aside to serve them. Various fruits and flowers were placed on the linen cloth spread on the ground, as well as cooked and cut into pieces. Quick golden brown roast chicken.
Influenced by Edward, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Mary like to eat fruit raw instead of cooked like other nobles.
Princess Mary is wearing a white long dress with golden lace, light red moccasin boots on her feet, and a string of golden necklaces around her neck, but she is lying on the linen without any image, squinting Looking at the sky with white clouds, I don't know what I'm thinking about.
Little Lori was wearing pink pajamas and a bow tie. Together with the other four Marys, she was running around in the garden, wanting to pick beautiful flowers when she saw them, and she looked extremely happy.
The maid Kathy followed closely, looking at the cheerful little Lolita with a smile on her lips.
Princess Mary in a light blue dress and Queen Mary in a white dress sat dignifiedly on the linen, next to each other, chatting happily.
Elizabeth lay on the linen cloth with a bored look on her face, pouted her mouth, and looked at Princess Mary and Queen Mary who were chatting.
Looking at the two people with joy, Elizabeth frowned: "What is there to talk about about Roman doctrine, I'm so bored, and I don't know what Edward is doing at this time!"
Thinking, Elizabeth pulled out a long weed with roots from the grass, and stared blankly at it.
Suddenly, she heard some topics of interest to her.
"Your Highness, you are so beautiful, gentle and considerate. I think whoever marries you in this world is truly blessed by God."
The Queen Mother Mary looked at the gentle Princess Mary and said with a smile.
Hearing such a sentence, Princess Mary's eyes suddenly dimmed, she turned her head, and looked into the distance with a listless expression.
"Oh! Your Royal Highness, don't be sad, believe me, for a beautiful princess like you, the omnipotent Lord will definitely arrange for it!"
Seeing Princess Mary's expression, Queen Mary, who knew she had said something wrong, hastily added.
"I hope so!" Princess Mary suddenly became less talkative, pursed her lips, and said lightly.
