Chapter 472 Love Settles in Border Town
…
"Clothes, shoes, cups, spoons, forks," Mei said, clasping her fingers. "Is there anything else I need to bring?"
There are scattered daily necessities on the ground, ranging from large kettles to small wooden bowls.
"Bedding is the most important thing," Erin thought. "It's best to bring a set of pillows, quilts and sheets."
Hearing this, Rosha and Gate smiled strangely at the same time, and May's cold look immediately made them expressionless, "You don't need those things, Carter said, he will buy some in the market." A new set. It is said to be a treasure from the four major families and was found in the basement of the mansion."
"Wow, those must be made of fine silk," Irene said enviously, "I heard that there is a tailor shop in the royal capital that sells clothes and fabrics made of pure silk. Only the nobles and wealthy businessmen can afford them. If it is the collection of the four major families, it will definitely be comparable."
"Well, that's about it." Mei pretended to be nonchalant, "He seemed to have said that a set requires five golden dragons."
"Hiss..." The three of them took a breath.
"Five, five golden dragons, my God," Luo Xia exclaimed, "This is almost equivalent to two years of my salary."
"How can you compare with the Star of the West?" Gate knocked on her forehead. "Miss May is a celebrity who has performed in the capital! As for Mr. Carter, he is the chief knight of His Highness the Prince. No matter where he is, It’s beyond our reach, okay?”
"Awesome, Sister Mei," Eileen's eyes sparkled, "I'm so envious of you."
Mei knew that only her envy was free of impurities. From the beginning, it was this transparent feeling that attracted the eyes of the dawn. She also wondered why a woman who grew up in the theater could develop such a character. Although she had put this relationship aside, she still felt a little happy when she saw Irene's sincere envy, "When you become famous, you can buy it for yourself... If you perform in the royal capital, your salary will be several coins." Jinlong and others, not to mention the rewards from those nobles afterwards."
"But I don't know how long it will take for my acting skills to reach your level," Erin curled her lips.
"It seems the room is very lively. Are you rehearsing?" The door was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome man appeared at the door. "Did I come at the wrong time?"
"K-Sir Carter!" Gate and Rosia immediately bowed and saluted.
"Hello, Lord Knight," Irene tilted her head and smiled, "We are discussing what supplies Sister Mei should bring to your residence, and we were talking about you just now."
"Really, what did you say about me?" Carter asked curiously, rubbing the back of his head.
"Nothing!" Mei glared at him. This guy always did this. It was better not to speak. But as soon as he spoke, his perfect superior temperament was eliminated. "Why did you come here suddenly? Today is not a holiday, right? ?”
"Well, don't worry, I got special permission from His Highness the Prince, and... I also brought a gift."
"Gift?"
Mei glanced around at everyone, and Gate understood immediately, "Ah, Miss Mei, I just remembered that I still have some things to do. When you decide on your luggage, you can call me at any time."
"Me too, some clothes have been left in the bucket for several days without washing." Luo Xia bowed and left, taking Irene with her when she left.
"Eh? I have nothing to do. Wait... I want to see Sister Mei's gift..." The voice gradually faded away. Mei exhaled, locked the door, turned to look at the chief knight, "What gift?" ? It’s not another new thing developed by His Highness, is it?”
Carter looked around twice first, "Your father..."
"I'm working, do you think everyone is so free like you," Mei said angrily. After picking up my father from the fortress, I thought it would take a long time for him to get familiar with the new living environment. Unexpectedly, only a week later he found a job sorting documents in the city hall. He couldn't stop him. . Now, he is an official clerk of the Ministry of Construction.
"I'm also very busy," Carter said, spreading his hands. "A capable general in the Ministry of Justice was transferred to Longsong Fortress by His Highness. Now everything in this town falls on me. Not only do I have to interrogate spies, To check the population, you also have to arrest potential criminals, and you are so busy that you can barely take care of three meals a day. You don't know, some of the prisoners are particularly cruel. They are not natives of the Western Region, but gangsters from other places who have infiltrated into the refugee ranks. Now that life has improved a little, I can't help but attack other refugees. But don't worry, these people basically only move around in the temporary settlement area in the west and will not easily enter the inner city. And if they commit any crime, they will not be able to escape from me. Hunt.”
Mei Yi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the other party's dancing statement, "Okay, I know, then, the knight who maintains the order and tranquility of the town, would you like to have lunch at my place and have a drink before leaving? Woolen cloth?"
"Although I really want to, I'm afraid I won't have enough time," Carter put down the package in his hand, "Let's try on this dress to see if it fits. This is something I specially asked His Highness to design."
"Your Highness?" Mei Yi was slightly startled.
"Yes, when I reported our wedding date to His Highness, he mentioned that there was a dress that was particularly suitable for weddings, but it was very troublesome to make. I begged Your Highness for a long time, and even bribed Miss Soraya with ice cream bread to make it. It’s done.”
As the fabric was uncovered layer by layer, a flash of pure white came into Mei Yi's eyes.
The knight unfolded the clothes in front of her, and she suddenly felt her heart tremble. It was a piece of clothing that was both simple and gorgeous. To be honest, it was not inlaid with any jewelry or gold edges, and was completely made of layers of white gauze. Speaking of gorgeous, its lines are extremely exaggerated. The tight waist and the blooming skirt below form a strong contrast, and the layers of wavy stripes on the skirt reflect the handcrafted part to the extreme. The silhouette of a banquet evening dress can still be seen on its upper body, but with the addition of a gorgeous skirt, it makes it
She could imagine that any woman, noble or not, would be immediately fascinated by this dress when she saw it.
Mei gently took the clothes that were as white as snow and as light as fine gauze, turned back to the bedroom, and put them on.
When Carter returned to the living room again, his eyes widened, "Oh my God, you...are so beautiful."
"Really?" A rare blush appeared on her face. Even without a mirror, she could guess what she looked like at this moment - the stunned chief knight was the best proof.
May walked up to Carter and kissed him gently on the cheek, "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
The knight who came back to his senses did not answer, but stretched out his arms to embrace her.
Looking at the other person's face that was getting closer, Mei closed her eyes.
It wouldn't be bad if she was called Maye Lannis from now on, she thought. (To be continued.)
