My British Empire

  Chapter 378 Pushing the Nose to the Face

  ps: Ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions. Recommend a book: William the Conqueror, written about the ancestors of Edward VI.

   Coming out of the palace, Chandler and Sir George walked side by side, chatting about the currency reform.

  Of course, although the central bank is the boss of all banks, at present, the Royal Bank of England is the largest commercial bank in England, and the central bank also needs to borrow the channel of the Bank of England to recycle and issue new currencies.

   You should put away your arrogance.

   After the two left the palace talking and laughing, they went home in their carriages.

  As soon as he got into the carriage, the smile on Adler's face immediately subsided, and he fought with his dead mother.

  The groom seemed to see that the master was in a bad mood, so he stopped talking and drove the carriage silently back home.

   "Go and rest!" Adler walked into the house with a gloomy face after giving instructions to his groom.

   After watching the footsteps of his master, the groom drove the carriage to the back door, opened the small door, and entered the backyard.

"Master, you're back! I've worked hard for you today!" As soon as he entered the gate of the yard, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy ran over quickly, put a bowl of water in front of him, took the reins of the horse, and turned the horse The child and the carriage were unloaded.

  Take the horse to the stable, and bring a few bundles of hay in, let the horse eat it happily.

  The groom thumped his arm, sat down on the chair, drank water, and then watched the boy busy there.

   "Don't rein the horse too tightly!" "Easy, light!" "Don't feed too much, there will be more in the middle of the night!"

  Looking at the figure of his apprentice Ma Liu, although the groom looked scolded on his face, he was very satisfied in his heart.

  This apprentice is not standard in his movements, but he usually works quickly, knows how to love and respect others, and has a good character.

   "Alan, after you're done, go make a cup of tea for your husband and add more sugar. He seems to be in a bad mood!"

  The groom looked at Allen's busy figure and couldn't help reminding.

  Currently, in the entire Todd family, Adler, the hero, is the most in need of currying favor, especially for a young man like Alan who doesn't want to be mediocre, but who wants to be successful.

  So, with a thought in his heart, he made a point.

   "Yes, master, I understand!" Allen carried the hay into the manger, turned his head, and said to the wrinkled groom.

   "You have to know, sir is the governor of the Bank of England, you are still young, you have only been in our house for more than two months, and you just need to perform well!"

  The groom looked at Alan's immature face and his walking steps, and said earnestly.

   "Understood, master!" Allen turned his head and persuaded him: "You should also rest. After a busy day, it's not that you don't know that your legs are not good!"

   Allen silently remembered his words in his heart, and then walked slowly to the front hall. To be precise, he was Todd's servant.

  In England, except for those nobles, other emerging families, all servants are hired and no longer belong to hereditary.

  And for those who are interested in carrying forward the family, the hired servants will basically choose young people to cultivate loyalty from an early age.

  Alan was like this. He was hired by Todd's family, and he was paid a monthly salary of one shilling. The salary was really good.

  But he was unwilling to be a little servant, so he learned to drive a car, learn to make tea, and learn everything that can be learned, so that he can become a master.

He came to the living room with light steps, first took out the boiling hot water from the kitchen, then took out the precious tea leaves, added salt, sugar, cinnamon and other spices, until the color of the whole teapot was unrecognizable At that moment, he took out the teapot and walked to the living room.

  At this time, seven or eight people had gathered in the reception hall, including the hostess of the Todd family, all of whom were blushing, as if they were arguing.

  Alan's arrival finally made them pause for a while.

  Alan took advantage of this time to fill up the teacups next to everyone one by one, and then stood aside sensibly, serving quietly.

   "Adler, tell me, what kind of madness has this king gone to want us to convert to Anglicanism!"

   A young man in his twenties sitting on the lower left of Adler, with very light eyebrows and thin lips, complained fiercely to his brother-in-law.

   "Yes! Adler, faith cannot be abandoned no matter what. It is more important than life, and it is a necessary condition for God to save us in the future!"

   At the bottom right of him, a bearded man in his forties was very dissatisfied with Adler's conversion and accused him.

   "Although there are elements of persecution, you should not succumb to it. Submitting to those hypocrites is the greatest shame for us, the best nations!"

   Speaking of this, the man became more and more excited. He pointed to Adler's nose, his tone became more and more serious, and he even had the urge to hit him.

   "Uncle, this is not Adler's fault. If you want to blame it, blame me!" Adler's wife looked at the middle-aged man with red and swollen eyes, and said softly.

   "It's all my fault for dragging him down with the two children, otherwise, he would never have succumbed to that little king!"

   Seeing that the topic was a bit off topic, Adler's younger brother Bieber was a little anxious, and quickly interrupted: "Stop discussing Adler's conversion, and think about how to respond to the little king's request!"

   "Convert or return to the Netherlands, this is our current choice!"

  "No, we must not convert!" "We are not Adler!" "We would rather go to the guillotine than change our beliefs!" "Absolutely cannot learn from Adler!"...

  The discussions among the seven or eight people became louder and louder, and their own names were sometimes mentioned in the words, which made Adler extremely uncomfortable and distressed.

   "Okay, it's useless to discuss it any longer!" Adler stood up directly, stood in front of these relatives, widened his eyes, looked at these relatives in front of him, and shouted loudly:

   "Next, this multiple-choice question is on you, don't involve me, think carefully today, and give me an answer tomorrow.

   Now, you can go! "

  The last sentence, Adler really yelled out with his throat, which made these relatives frightened for a while.

  They didn't expect that the man who had been timid all this time suddenly showed his power, which caught them by surprise.

   Just when they were about to retort, Adler gave them a hard look and knocked their minds apart.

  Seeing these relatives walking away slowly, Adler got up and sat down, his chest rising and falling.

  He finally understood that the shame of his conversion a few years ago made them more and more presumptuous, and each of them pushed their noses in the face. Forgot, without him, they would all be pursued in the Netherlands one by one?

   At this time, Allen, who was standing aside, lowered his head and heard the big scene.

   When it was time to feed the horses at night, he quietly came to the stable and threw a piece of paper over the wall.
