Chapter 994 National University

"Hurry up, give me the money!"

Seeing that Margaret didn't move, the stepmother immediately started to dig into her pockets, while constantly slapping her on the head and twisting her arms and back.

Margaret didn't dare to fight back, and she was used to it. As long as she didn't hit her brother, she could endure any punishment.

"Get out of the way, well, the wallet is pretty good!"

The stepmother pushed Margaret away, took a few more pieces of ham and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing them. Then she opened the purse with satisfaction, and then her expression froze.

"I must have seen it wrong!"

In the wallet, there was a thick stack of gold tickets, with the standard amount on them, which made the stepmother's eyes almost pop out like toads.

After being stunned for a moment, she pulled them out like crazy and started counting.

"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand"

After counting five times in succession, the stepmother still had a look of disbelief on her face. There was nothing she could do because there were more than 30,000 gold tickets in her wallet.

In this era when thirty gold coins is a month's living expenses for a family of four, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

"Mom, give me your wallet and I want to return it to you!"

Margaret was also frightened. She never expected that the young man with a sunny smile would be so generous. She just went home and did not count the money. Otherwise, she would definitely not want the money.

"Get away!"

The stepmother pushed Margaret away, spit on her fingers, and counted them again, "Tell me, how did you get this money?"

"Let me return it to others, we can't take this money!"

Margaret knelt on the ground and begged.

"Why can't you have it?" The stepmother glared at Margaret, then her expression changed, and she directly pulled her up and pressed her down on the kitchen counter.

"what are you doing?"

The boy was frightened, but he didn't dare to stop him. He could only call his father.

"Damn it, are you going to be a prostitute?" The stepmother looked ferocious. Margaret was good-looking, but too thin, but it didn't matter, many nobles liked this. She was also planning to hand her over to a noble.

To make a fortune, if you are not a virgin, it is worthless.

"I don't!"

After her stepmother's rough fingers penetrated her lower body, Margaret lay on the kitchen table and cried sadly. She didn't understand why she had to suffer such humiliation, which made her heartbroken.

"What's wrong?" A bearded man came over and cursed impatiently. "Crying means crying. How are the flowers sold today?"

"Our daughter met a Kaizi today!"

The stepmother was very happy and shook the wallet in her hand.

"What's another good thing? Does that man like Margaret?"

The man grabbed the wallet and counted it.

"Don't grab it, it's mine!"

The stepmother glared at the man, and then said something else, telling her daughter, "By the way, I will look for this man next time I sell flowers. If he is interested in you, he will definitely look for you again!"

"Haha, now I can make a comeback."

The man laughed, held his wallet tightly, and was about to gamble and make a comeback.

"No, I haven't bought new clothes for half a month. You have to leave me 20,000 yuan!" The stepmother looked ferocious, clawing at the man's face like an angry wild cat.

Watching the two people arguing, Margaret hugged her brother in despair and pain. When will this kind of life come to an end?

The morning sun rises from the sky and dawn arrives.

"I have to go now!"

Downton bit the straw, drained the last sip of juice, and then threw the box into the trash can nearby.

"Yes, I want to go back too and quickly write down all the inspiration I had last night!"

Lorraine covered her forehead with her hands and squinted her eyes slightly to look at the rising sun. The orange sunlight shining down was like a lover's hand caressing her.

"Goodbye then!"

Downton turned to leave, and when he was about to turn the corner, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him.

"Hello!"

Lorraine put her hands in front of her face and looked at Downton with a smile on her face, "Thank you, I had a great time last night. Well, it was the happiest time in the past few years!"

Looking at the girl standing in the sun, Downton didn't answer. He smiled and waved vigorously, then disappeared around the corner.

"This idiot didn't even say you would send me home!" Lorraine pouted and threw the drink into the trash can angrily, "Humph, you missed this opportunity yourself!"

"Sir, how was your stay last night?" Downton returned to the hotel, and the attendant immediately greeted him, "What would you like to have for breakfast? In addition to famous dishes from various empires, we also have dishes from far away in the East."

"casual!"

As expected of a hotel in a big city, the service attitude is really good. Of course, the high cost is not something ordinary people can afford. But for the current Downton, who has enjoyed the treatment of the Hand of the King, this kind of hotel is no longer attractive at all.

Strong.

You must know that in the palace, as long as he is willing, he can pull any maid to do whatever he wants, but here, he will definitely be found by the Sheriff.

After Downton finished washing and eating breakfast, six servants and a carriage sent by the Geese family were already waiting.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Downton go out, the servants' attitude could not be more respectful. When they came, the master had already told him to serve him like a king.

"You guys go back, I know the way!"

Downton didn't want to show off, as that might cause unnecessary trouble for Elaine.

"Anyway, keep a low profile!" Downton stopped a taxi and got on it, "Go to the National University!"

"Sit tight!"

Amidst the sound of the whip, the wheels rolled.

"what to do?"

The servant was anxious.

"Follow me. If there's any trouble, solve it for him!"

Be calm and composed in management. The behavior of big people is never easy to predict, so you must learn to adapt to changes.

Elaine is a priest and has perfect divine attributes, but she did not go to the seminary for further study because she was also very good in other aspects. Andrea was going to train her into an elite all-rounder, so she sent her to Versailles.

National University.

This is Saint Laurent's number one comprehensive national university. It is famous among the nine empires. It doesn't matter if ordinary nobles want to enter. Without money, they can't do it. But for the Guise family, it's just a few words.

The matter of words.

Elaine did not disappoint everyone's hopes. She ranked first in her grade in the first academic year. For a student from a small and marginal country, it was undoubtedly a brilliant achievement and also shocked many students who looked down on her.

The National University is located on Saint-Mandé Avenue. When the carriage drove up this street, there were immediately more students, all walking together in twos and threes. As the proud sons of heaven, they were in high spirits and enjoying their youth to the fullest.

“I really envy this kind of campus life!”

Downton sighed.

"As long as these students don't give up on themselves, they can easily find a good job once they get out of school. The salary they earn every month can probably last me several years."

The coachman was equally envious. He hoped that his children could also wear the uniforms of the National University.

Because of the saint's relationship, Saint Laurent is a country with a strong religious atmosphere, so the uniforms of national universities are also full of religious style.

The female college student wears a white robe with a belt to tie the waist, and white flat leather shoes on the feet. The skirt, collar, and embroidered mouth are embroidered with magic patterns of different colors to distinguish their grades. On the chest is the school emblem.

Students with outstanding achievements can also have their achievements tattooed on their chests, so by looking at the number of badges, you can tell whether a student is good enough.

Male students wear trousers, shirts, and leather shoes, also in blue and white. Some students from aristocratic families wear accessories such as brooches and pocket watches to show their uniqueness.

The carriage stopped at the door. The students glanced at Downton walking down and stopped paying attention because he was not wearing a school uniform.

"If you want to enter the school, you need to register!"

The guard has seen many students like this who come to the National University with a pilgrim mentality. If they can't get into the exam, they can only make up for their regrets by visiting.

"Thanks!"

The other party had a good attitude, which made Downton feel relieved. He had just looked at the fence in front of the door, worried that entry was prohibited, and regretted not letting the steward of the Guise family go with him.

"Are you looking for Elaine?"

Hearing who the young man in front of him was looking for, the guard frowned and his tone became stern, "I'm warning you, you can visit, but if you want to take advantage of Elaine, get out as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame the school guards.

You're welcome!"

"Um?"

Downton didn't understand why he was treated with hostility just by asking where his sister's dormitory was, but he still patiently explained, "I am Elaine's brother!"

"Hmph, many people have used this excuse. Don't you just want to pursue the most talented girl in our school?"

The guard didn't chase Downton away, he just didn't give him a good look. There was nothing he could do. Elaine won the championship in the college competitive league last year. After becoming famous in one battle, many men came here to pursue her.

Added together, it is enough to establish ten knights.

Downton shrugged his shoulders and entered the campus.

In the distance are rows of teaching buildings, and nearby are neat streets with plane trees growing on both sides. The sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

"Excuse me, where is the girls' dormitory building?"

Downton picked two girls who were passing by who looked relatively kind and asked about them.

"ah?"

Downton has a tall and straight figure, an angular face, and his white teeth when he smiles, which is very lethal. The two girls were stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the ten o'clock direction.

"How about I take you there?"

The fat-faced girl suggested.

"Thank you, no need!" Downton waved his hand, "Goodbye!"

"Wow, this boy is so handsome, he is my type!"

The fat-faced girl shook her companion's arm, looking a little crazy.

"It's useless even if he's your food. Look at his dress, he's clearly not a student of our school!" Another girl sighed.

For students from these key universities, when they look for a boyfriend, they must at least be from the same school because they have to consider their future life.

"He must be looking for someone, right? Is it that Elaine again?"

"I don't think he's that superficial!"

The two girls were chattering and biting their ears. Downton had disappeared, and they kept looking back. (To be continued...)
