Roya is two years younger than Arthur and as old as Gavin.
Girls develop earlier than boys, so it seems that Luo Ya is more mature than Gavin. Although Luo Ya's clothes are also school uniforms, they are obviously carefully made and are different from the uniforms issued by Luo Cheng No. 1 Middle School. Luo Ya
She is also very beautiful. Xiaosi and his wife attach great importance to Luo Ya's education and never relax.
"There is an outing arranged by the school tomorrow, are you going to go?" Luo Ya was looking forward to the outing, although she knew that Arthur and Gavin had little hope of participating.
"Maybe I can't go. I have four classes tomorrow, two in the morning and two in the afternoon." Arthur is not looking forward to it. Being born in a noble family means more homework. There is really no time to go out and wander around. Arthur spends all his time every day.
The arrangements are so full that there are not even normal family holidays.
Don't think that all the children from rich families are as unlearned and incompetent as described in literary works. There may be some who are arrogant and domineering, but there is really no one who is unlearned and incompetent.
Most of the uneducated are born into nouveau riche families. Their parents neglect to discipline their children because of their work, or they don’t know how to educate their children, so their children become uneducated.
Both Ada and Phyllis were born in aristocratic families. Such families know the importance of children's education, so they never relax in their children's education.
For Arthur and Gavin, mastering multiple languages is just a basic skill. They began to be exposed to literature, history, economics, geography, and even international relations at a very young age, which are difficult and obscure courses for children.
Make time to participate in group activities such as outings.
Of course, if you grow up in such an environment, it is possible that you will grow crookedly, but the probability is much smaller than that of children born in civilian families. This is the so-called survivor bias, and individual exceptions cannot represent the overall level.
"Then I won't go either. I will read at home tomorrow -" Luo Ya was not disappointed. Ada would be really disappointed if she left Arthur alone.
It is difficult for girls from aristocratic families to achieve anything. Most of the time, they will become a tool for family marriage. However, this does not mean that the education of girls will be relaxed. On the contrary, the education of girls will be stricter than the education of boys.
.
There is also a basis for family marriage. It does not mean that Xiaosi's daughter will definitely be able to marry Roque's son. If Arthur is dissatisfied with Roya, then it will be the same for Arthur to marry Christian's daughter. Even if Christian's daughter is not
If you wish, Christian will also tie up his daughter and send it to Roque's house.
So the story of the prince and Cinderella is a fairy tale, but the story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong is a myth.
"I really want to go to college soon. After we go to college, we can be more free." Gavin is full of longing for college life, or in other words, full of yearning for the adult world.
"Don't have high expectations. After we go to college, we will have more homework and be more arduous." Arthur didn't expect much. Their lives have been planned from the beginning, and there are mature routines for what to do at any age.
, basically there are no exceptions.
Only those who are really unable to stick to the wall will be abandoned by the family, but being abandoned does not mean self-destruction, no matter what kind, no matter what you do, the bottom line is not to damage the family honor, and the consequences of breaking the bottom line are very serious.
Imprisonment to death is a relatively light punishment. If you think about the princess who died in a French tunnel, you will know the consequences of pursuing individuality.
For Arthur and Gavin, just like ordinary students, the student stage is also their easiest stage.
Ordinary students may have to face problems such as work, marriage, family, and housing after entering the society. Arthur and Gavin will begin to be exposed to the operation of family businesses. If they perform well at work, they will be further cultivated by the family.
; If you do not perform well, or even perform poorly, your status in the family will continue to decrease until you are completely abandoned by the family.
Don't think that Arthur and Gavin have a guaranteed title, so everything will be fine. If the heir to the title performs poorly, his right to inherit the title will be revoked. Even if he inherits the title, if his performance is too outrageous, the title may be revoked.
"Oh, it makes people despair just thinking about it -" Gavin actually knew that going to college would not make it easier for him, it was just a hope.
"Don't think like that. You are the next Marquis of Nyasaland. You are born to bear more pressure than ordinary people." Although Arthur is only 15 years old, his mind is already quite mature.
"I know, I know, but sometimes I really want to give up my right to inherit the title and spend my life in a place where no one knows me." Gavin is still very naive, but this is understandable, after all, Gavin is only 13 years old.
, it’s normal to have a little bit of chuunibyou.
"You won't." Arthur smiled. He had also missed the second grade before, but after being severely beaten by Ada, Arthur never missed the second grade again.
"Why?" Gavin hadn't been beaten yet, and that's what happens to people who haven't been severely beaten.
"If you give up your right to inherit the title, your father will be very disappointed with you -" Arthur is very patient with his younger brothers and sisters, no matter where they are.
Gavin stopped talking. The emotion of "disappointment" was invisible and intangible, but it was fatal.
"My father had a friend who was like this, but what he gave up was not the inheritance of the title, but the inheritance of the family business. Then this friend of my father was sent to London by his father, without giving him any money or help, without asking anything.
As a result, within three months, my father's friend borrowed money to buy a boat ticket back to Rhodesia, knelt in front of his father and asked his father to forgive him." Luo Ya missed the mark, girls always mature earlier.
"Who is so stupid?" Gavin was curious. His so-called giving up of inheritance rights was just a talk, and he would not actually do it.
"Uncle Aiden." Luo Ya puffed out her cheeks and suppressed a smile. It was unladylike to spread the dark history of her elders behind her back.
"Wow, I didn't expect members of Congress to be so willful sometimes." Gavin laughed. Children are always keen on this kind of gossip, just like boys are keen on letting their friends call them "Dad".
"What's this? His Majesty was also very willful when he was young." Arthur didn't have much respect for His Majesty the King. After all, Southern Africa is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away.
"So, Uncle Anton and the others were also very willful when they were young, otherwise they would not have come to southern Africa." Luo Ya actually wanted to say Roque, but she really didn't dare.
Now Luo Ya is systematically studying the history of the Chinese, not just the Chinese, but also the history of the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and Slavic people. The same goes for Arthur and Gavin.
"This is the difference in ability. After all, there are only a few people who have the ability to escape from their original family and be better than their original family -" Arthur concluded. Before he finished speaking, the school bus suddenly made a sharp turn, and Arthur was almost knocked out of his seat by the inertia.
Throw it out, and everyone in the school bus screams in surprise.
Before Arthur and Gavin could react, the school bus suddenly accelerated as if it hit something.
The driver did not brake, but still accelerated forward. At this time, Arthur and Gavin discovered that there were several black cars in front and behind the school bus.
"What's going on?" Gavin was curious. He stood up from his seat and looked back. It seemed that a car accident had just occurred and the school bus was leaving the scene quickly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Tiger will handle it if anything happens." Arthur didn't panic. Tiger was the escort arranged by Ada for Arthur.
Although they were studying in a public school, Ada and Phyllis never relaxed about the safety of Arthur and Gavin. When Los Angeles No. 1 Middle School went to visit the Nyasaland Evening News, there were escorts driving to protect them the whole time.
In the last black car behind the school bus, Tiger was looking back to see what was going on.
"It seems to be a car accident, don't worry-" Tom beside Tiger was also the escort arranged by Ada for Arthur.
Tiger did not speak, but kept looking behind him with a pistol. There was also a shotgun loaded with bullets on the car door next to his legs, although Tiger never had a chance to use it.
"The school is also looking for trouble. Honestly, it's great to have classes in school. If you have nothing to do and do some social practice, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?" Tom muttered and stuffed the gun back into the holster under his arm. Los Angeles
In fact, No. 1 Middle School does not engage in social practice every day, only once a month on average.
"Stop complaining. Do you think the way the Lord raises his children can be the same as the way we raise our children?" Tiger didn't notice that a car was catching up to him. It was probably just an accident.
"That is, our children will not have a title to inherit when they grow up -" Tom inadvertently showed envy in his words, but it was not to the level of jealousy and hatred.
There is nothing to envy in this kind of thing. Nobles have a noble life, and common people have a common life. They are also for a lifetime. Vibrant and vigorous is cool, but plain and ordinary is also good.
"Don't think too much. As long as my children can grow up safely, it will be fine. If I am lucky enough to be admitted to the University of Nyasaland, then I will find a good job. If I am not admitted to the university, then I will just stay at home and be honest."
It would be good to actually run the farm, or continue to serve the young Marquis like us." Tiger is satisfied. For ordinary people like him, it is good for the next generation to have two or three choices, even in the UK, those ordinary people
British children may not have so many choices.
At the very least, it is impossible for British people in the UK to just own farms covering hundreds or even thousands of acres in the UK.
Those who can own thousands of acres of farms in the UK are basically the aristocracy, and commoners don't even think about it.
Even in the UK, there are public schools, but it is very difficult for ordinary people's children to go to college. In the end, they have to work in factories or serve in the army, repeating the life of their previous generation.
