Chapter 687: Don’t underestimate women

As soon as Adeline mentioned that she wanted to get Lorraine a position in the Guards, the girls next to her didn't even discuss it, so they thought it would not be a difficult thing.

But this is not a big deal, it is really not a difficult thing for them~!

Each of these girls around Adeling has a rich family background, and they can even be called masters with great hands and eyes.

They are all the daughters of the most powerful families of the Semitic tribe. Their parents are either princes and princesses, or they belong to aristocratic families such as the fourth generation and the third prince. They are either in a high position or have powerful soldiers. In other words, they are at least at the level of ministers and military region commanders.

, he is a powerful figure on the mainland.

As the official descendants of this kind of family, one can imagine their vision and energy.

Moreover, Semitic girls are not raised in a boudoir, with no doorway to go out, or even a second door. They are just kept as vases, with no say at all.

Girls from big families have to learn to do things before they get married, and after they get married, they have to take charge of the family.

These girls can also have a say in their respective family affairs, just like Adeline and Deipole, doing the same work as men.

It’s just that usually everyone has very important things to be busy with.

For example, what are the popular fashion clothes this year? Whose hat looks better? Are there any pimples on your face today? What can you eat to lose weight? What can you use to enlarge your breasts?

My breasts are obviously enlarged. Or somewhere, there is another handsome little boy...

In short, everyone gathered together to deal with these important matters, and all they passed on were the most important gossip news. Although it cannot be said that there are many opportunities to deal with every day, there are still many opportunities to deal with every day.

There were dances, tea parties, garden parties, camping, hunting, etc. every day. The schedule was arranged slowly and I was extremely busy.

As for national events and trivial matters like this, in many cases, they would not even take a glance at them. Such matters should be left to those who have nothing to do to deal with them.

But once they are interested in participating, they can exert amazing energy.

Don't underestimate women, especially successful women or the women behind successful men.

As far away as Wu Zetian and Cixi, I won’t talk about these powerful figures in the world. Everyone is familiar with their deeds.

Just by reading "The Appearance of Officialdom", you can know how amazingly powerful the mistresses and concubines were in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty.

Not to mention, the Liangshan hero Song Dajiang took the route of surrender several times and wanted to recruit people, but he never succeeded in facing the strong officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Only officials with genuine Jinshi background looked down upon him as a bandit.

The boss, in the end, still took the mistress route and managed to win over classmate Li Shishi, the number one oiran of the Song Dynasty. After blowing her pillow wind, she successfully surrendered and became an official.

For example, the mistresses are so powerful. Not to mention, these are more favored than the mistresses and concubines, the daughters of the boss.

For them, maybe they would hesitate for a long time when buying a hat while shopping, and it would be difficult to make a choice. However, for people like Lorraine, it is not too difficult to sneak into the Guards.

Immediately, everyone found a piece of grass to sit down, and then began to discuss seriously.

As the daughters of people in power, they are very familiar with the procedures in the government.

For example, whose father is in charge of household registration, how can he steal household registration documents, forge personal information, and which safe can he get the official seal from? Once the documents are ready, who should I go to to handle them?

Whose father is in charge of the Guards, whose boyfriend is in charge of recruiting people, whose brother is responsible for assessing wages, and whose brother-in-law is the chief officer of the Guards, so he can take care of it.

How to grade? How to evaluate positions? How to get promoted?

It only took them more than ten minutes to discuss and decide on a detailed and feasible plan. Moreover, the official position assigned to Lorraine was at least that of captain of the Guards.

In their words, if the official is too young, such as a squad leader, a corps leader, etc., it will not be able to demonstrate everyone's ability, and it will also lose face, which is really difficult to use and is not cost-effective.

If officers above the rank of squadron leader need to go to the palace to see the Grand Elder Priest, and are afraid that their secrets will be exposed, there will be no problem in getting a regiment commander for Lorraine.

Lorraine and Leo, one is the governor of the empire and the other is the future emperor. They are both high-level officials in the system. They are in the circle of power. They are both familiar with the unspoken rules of official promotion and so on.

But after listening to their discussion at this time, they couldn't help but look at each other.

You must know that in non-war times, it is difficult for an ordinary person, especially an ordinary person with unknown origins, to join the Guards, which has strict qualification requirements.

Not to mention this kind of rocket-like promotion speed that completely violates the organizational principles.

It's like a migrant worker who didn't necessarily graduate from high school, commonly known as a migrant worker, suddenly became the deputy section chief of the Ministry of National Defense.

For example, the Imperial Guard of the Ruman Empire has always been famous for its strictness on the mainland. It only recruits soldiers with more than five years of service experience. The prerequisite is that they must have meritorious service and have received awards. Only after layers of selection and inspection can they enter the Imperial Guard.

military.

Even the children of nobles are no exception. They must have a military merit, and not a day less of the five-year service period. Their advantage is that after meeting the conditions, the selection and inspection are simpler than others.

Such warriors, led by experienced commanders and equipped with sophisticated war horses and equipment, can imagine their combat effectiveness.

The most courageous emperors in the history of Ruman dared to lead the imperial guards to directly attack the enemy. They were truly invincible and invincible.

This shows the importance of the Praetorian Guard to an empire.

When Leo heard this, he could only open his mouth and keep exclaiming: Grandma, these women are so cruel~!

No wonder they are said to be a disaster to the country and the people, and beauty is a disaster. If they continue like this within the empire for half a year, there will definitely be a coup.

Maybe, another An Lushan will pop up from nowhere~!

After a while, everyone reached a consensus and stretched themselves out. They glanced at Lorraine maliciously and shouted, "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted."

Although the voice is delicate and clear, it is very nice to hear, just like coquettishness.

But when Lorraine heard it, it was like a large Semitic wooden hammer striking an even larger bamboo, making a "boom, boom, boom" sound.

Lorraine knew that it was impossible not to satisfy these aunts. If she was called stingy or incompetent, Adeline and Fiona would suffer in the end. They would not say anything bad about Lorraine, they would just

Say they have no vision.

He didn't hide his secrets at the moment, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, it looks like it's almost noon anyway. Everyone should be hungry.

You guys just rest here for now, and I’ll show you my skills. Let’s have a picnic and have some barbecues. I’ll give you some beauty tips later, how about that?”

When the girls heard this, they were all delighted. They thought that this pretty boy was indeed on the right track. Not only did he have barbecue to eat, but he also had a secret recipe for beauty and beauty, which was worth a thousand dollars.

These ladies all live a good life and have no shortage of gold and silver. The only thing they care about is the beauty regimen. When they looked at Lorraine, they felt that he was more pleasing to the eye.

But since it was a picnic, they didn't want to sit back and eat for nothing, so they volunteered one after another and rolled up their sleeves to help. They collected firewood, made a fire, picked fruits, etc. It was a pleasure to be busy.

But this royal garden is in bad luck.

They caught a lot of turkeys, goats, carp, and rabbits. Then they cut open their stomachs and skinned them, washed them in the water of the lake nearby, and then put them on the fire and grilled them.

Of course, they don't need to do these dirty jobs with their own hands. The servants they bring will listen to their instructions and start handling these things.

They also found some tables, chairs and tableware from the house where they had just held a party, and set up a simple picnic venue.

Due to the large number of them, the slaughterhouse by the lake was now in a mess, like a murder scene.

Lorraine set up several fires and started working at the same time. Fortunately, he always carried all kinds of spices with him, so he didn't lack anything.

Vera and Leo both had very naughty mouths. If there was no delicious food out there, Lorraine would have to cook it herself. Otherwise, the two uncles would feel uncomfortable with their grunts, so they took them with them.

Carrying seasonings has become Lorraine's habit. Anyway, it is all on Vera's body and does not take up any space.

The fire was strong and the ingredients were sufficient. It only took a few minutes to roast the prey to a golden color.

Lorraine immediately took out the cumin spice she bought at a high price and sprinkled it on it, and a burst of aroma immediately emerged.

How many people in this era have tasted these~!

In the Middle Ages in Europe, spices were worth the same as gold, and even the royal family did not necessarily have all of them. Not to mention, these spices were secretly prepared by Lorraine for her own convenience, according to the recipes of later generations.

When everyone smelled the aroma, they couldn't help but twitch their index fingers, and they all gathered around.

One by one, they opened their clear and beautiful eyes, looking at the golden prey, and sighed: "Fiona got it right, even though she became a mistress, she was not wronged.

If nothing else, just looking at this craftsmanship makes me want to do it.

The prince on the white horse is easier to find, but the ruffian who walks out of the hall and enters the kitchen is really hard to find nowadays~!"

They were indeed right. At their level, princes riding white horses are everywhere. Men who know how to cook and beautify are rare animals.

Under their ridicule and flattery, Fiona and Adelin were both ashamed and angry.

Lean less and the food will cook better.

Firstly, everyone is really hungry after having been arguing for so long. Secondly, Lorraine’s craftsmanship is really good, and he also used those spices, which are extremely delicious.

Therefore, everyone and Lorraine were not seen outside. When the food was on the table, it was snatched away without any ladylike manner.

I ate a piece of Fengjuanwanyun and was full of praise.

Although these girls were all eating and shouting that they wanted to lose weight and not eat anymore, Lorraine was surprised to find that their appetites were no smaller than that of an adult man.

As soon as the chicken was cooked and served, it was gone in the blink of an eye.

Vera next to me was also very aggrieved: I just twisted a chicken leg, and after just two bites, the whole chicken was gone, and you actually ate it faster than me~!

This is too embarrassing for the Dragon Clan.

In the end, all the girls fell down on the grass after eating, not wanting to move. They were all very shapeless, holding their full bellies with their hands, and screamed.

Adeline and Fiona were very heroine-conscious at this time, looking at those pampered girls lying on the ground, like a group of well-fed little sows, humming comfortably, all at the moment

It was very dumbfounding.

They were afraid that those people would eat too much and get sick, so they went to the garden and had some plums picked. After washing them, they asked them to put them in their mouths and chew them to help digestion.

While everyone was laughing and joking, an attendant came over with a troubled expression.

He looked at the mess at the slaughtering site next to him. Even the originally clear lake water was dyed red. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then he felt a bump under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was bones thrown by someone.
