The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 98
One night, miss OLINA bilevich was spinning and weaving with the ladies in her manor.
This is also the tradition of the bilevich family. The ancestors of the bilevitch family were also penniless farmers. They made contributions to the hard work and heroic struggle with the Crusader knights, and were Knights by the king of yagelo at that time.
After becoming an aristocrat, old bilevitch still didn''t change the nature of farmers. He often worked in the fields with the farmers under his control and called them brothers.
After the death of old bilevich, the tradition of being close to the people of the bilevich family was passed down from generation to generation. In orina''s generation, she still doesn''t change this legacy.
Therefore, although the maids working in bilevitch''s manor are nominally servants, they are not so strictly distinguished between high and low. Orina treated them like her sisters. The young lady also teaches people etiquette and literacy, which can make these girls from poor families have a happier home in the future.
At this time, miss OLINA sat in the middle of the hall, and the servant girls sat on the benches on both sides and surrounded them in the middle. In front of the servant girls, there was a loom, next to bundles of combed flax.
The girls, like their masters, raised their hands to the flax fibers to be combed, twisted the soft flax with their left hand and kept turning the spindle with their right hand. Once a servant girl deserts, miss OLINA will always cast a reproachful look at her. At this time, the servant girl who did wrong will always lower her head and work harder in her hand.
The spinning wheel has been spinning, spinning, and the spindle is getting bigger and bigger. The spindle is also buzzing, which complements the pleasant voice of the male servant playing the piano and singing the hymn.
Although young miss OLINA was working with one hand, her mind was not on it.
As usual, if the servant was in this state, the young hostess would silently blame her. But now, she herself is often haunted.
Because she''s in love. Her lover is so young, handsome and brave; Every love word from his mouth was as sweet as honey. His feelings for her are sincere, and her feelings for him are the same.
At this time, in the dark night in the distance, there was a sound of horse bells through the window glass. From far to near, the sound finally stopped in front of the manor.
"Is he coming?" orina couldn''t help shaking in her heart.
The young manservant seemed to see the hostess''s mind. He stopped his piano, stood up and said to miss OLINA, "Miss, I''ll open the door."
Then, without waiting for the hostess to answer, she walked briskly towards the gate. It would be rude at ordinary times, but the manservant knew that the hostess would be unhappy if he didn''t hurry to open the door.
And those servant girls are smiling. They have seen many such scenes.
After a while, the valet came back.
"Miss, the village head of Cassian has come to visit you."
OLINA was disappointed. But she quickly adjusted her mood. Village head kasian is respected and his elder. He must have something important to come so late.
"I received father Cassian in the lobby."
With that, miss OLINA bilevich tidied up her clothes, ordered the maids to continue their serious work, and went out of the hall.
In the front hall, the village head of Cassian stood on crutches. Behind him was a young man in black and a wide brimmed hat. Orina could not see the boy''s face clearly, but she knew the family of the old man Cassian. It seemed that there were no family members of this age in the old man''s family.
"Maybe it''s the servant of Cassian''s father''s family," thought orina.
"Father Cassian, is it urgent for you to come to bilevitch manor so late?" asked OLINA. She took a glass of red wine from the servant and handed it to the old man.
Old casian took the glass and took a sip. He looked at miss OLINA and the boy in black behind him. He hesitated and didn''t know where to start.
"Let me tell you, father Cassian." the boy took off his wide brimmed hat and saluted miss OLINA bilewitch.
"Hello, dear miss OLINA. My name is Chechen, yes..."
"I know you. You are the head of the mercenary regiment. And you have saved the life of Prince yanush."
Before Cherchen finished, orina said. Although she doesn''t go out often, she still knows Cherchen and his mercenary regiment. Of course, this understanding comes from Anjie.
"This leader Chechen once helped our village a lot. This time he encountered a problem and needed your help, but no one introduced him. That''s why he bothered me to be a middleman." village head Cassian also explained.
OLINA nodded. Since the village head of Cassian is willing to introduce the head of Chechen, it is obvious that he will never be a bad man. Moreover, the mercenary regiment in Polotsk was a force to protect the place from the invasion of the Czar Russian army.
If the mercenary regiment is in trouble, of course they should help themselves.
"Let me know if commander Chechen has any difficulties. If he is short of supplies, although our bilevitch family is far inferior to Prince yanush''s rich side, we still have the spirit of destroying the family."
With these words, Chechen appreciated it. When they were in Smolensk, facing the siege of the city led by Prince Alexei, the nobles of Smolensk not only did not work together to defend the city, but prevaricated and pulled the back of the main war faction. As for the difficulty of asking them to destroy their family, it is something they don''t even want to think about. Smolensk was short of food for several months, and the city was full of starving people. However, the great nobles, such as the anzumov family, pulled out their fat horses to participate in the so-called horse racing held by Yakov only a few days after the city was destroyed.
In contrast, personality is really superior.
"Miss OLINA, you have misunderstood. Our mercenary regiment has the support of Prince yanushi, and there is no danger of lack of food and grass. I take the liberty to come here tonight because a batch of arms given by Prince yanushi to us were hijacked in Polotsk. Although we found the place where the bandits hid their arms, it is very special, and maybe some big man also has it Great relationship. "
OLINA''s heart jumped when she heard Chechen say "a big man". In the little Polotsk, who can be called a big man by the Savior of Prince yanush? The wise lady had a vague hunch.
"Where is that place?" orina''s heart jumped to her throat as she said this.
"In Lubic."
