Chapter 378 Chapter 373 Visiting and Being Visited

　　 In Nolan in November, citizens must wear winter clothes to travel even in the afternoon. The air is still so bad, the gloomy sky and fog make the city look lifeless.

On the corner of the street, I asked the boy running with a stack of newspapers. Jenkins just remembered that the Williams family has no relatives in the local area. Robert has never taken him to the funeral. So he needs to pay attention to the funeral. I don't know.

　　 "Don't be rude at the funeral, especially Mr. Pisco helped me so much. It seems that I can't go home for the time being."

　　 turned again towards the footsteps of St. George Street. As Hathaway lived far away, he hired a carriage on the corner of the street.

　　 But not every visit has results. The maid in the house said that the red-haired lady had not been here all day.

　　 With regret, I had to go home first.

　　 Sometimes Jenkins really hopes that he can live a hundred years without going out in a house full of books and materials, without wasting the slightest time to improve his abilities.

　　 He doesn't hate social activities, nor does he have autism. He just feels that these things are really a waste of time compared to his goals.

　　 He is a man with a firm goal. For greater dreams, his gaze has been looking farther away. Of course, he occasionally looks down at his cat.

　　Sometimes he would think, if he had come to a classical fairy world, then he would definitely become the most determined seeker.

　　 Anyway, life still has to go on. The inconveniences of winter make Jenkins occasionally miss the past. In order to maintain a minimum meal standard, the gold pound consumed on food has increased.

　　 In order to make the wallet more generous, Jenkins has to dispense some more [Witch’s Kiss] potions before the trading day.

　　 He remodeled his basement, and intermittently used a creation pencil to create a metal wall to separate a compartment, which was used as an operating room for the preparation of medicines.

　　 Old Jack also sent a letter after the reading festival, asking roundly about whether Jenkins tried the formula of the last letter.

　　 He finally told the truth, but still politely declined the invitation to become his apprentice and live in the Shire.

　　The decoration in the operating room is very simple, only a clean workbench made of metal plates, and large and small glassware. There is a flowerpot in the corner of the wall, which is planted with seedlings of fantasy flowers that have absorbed a lot of life spirits.

　　 Jenkins didn't know how to make it enter the next growth stage, and didn't dare to put it on the windowsill, so he could only stay here temporarily.

　　 Anyway, it came in vain, even if it withered because of the lack of sunlight, it wouldn't be too heartache.

　　 Another ornament is an enamel doll of A-01-2-0198 bought from a counterfeit store. Three rows of long iron nails were driven into the wall, and a storage board was placed on the nails, and the exquisite painted enamel doll was placed on the top floor.

　　 Jenkins wants to rely on seeing it often, trying to overcome his fear and discomfort for flower girls. But later it was discovered that he could not connect this doll with that girl at all.

　　 I don’t know how, this time there is no failure in the preparation of the medicine, and the fusion of the materials by the spirit of life has stabilized to a surprising level.

　　 "Does the improvement of the soul's ability help to configure the potion?"

　　 He muttered to himself, while Chocolate was lying on the chair behind him, boringly fiddled with the flowers beside him with his paws.

　　 When Jenkins is doing business, he usually keeps the cat nearby. And chocolate will not bother men if there are no strange thoughts.

　　 Its ears suddenly moved a few times, and the cat's head looked upward suspiciously, his beard trembling on his furry cheeks. Soon he lowered again and called to Jenkins:

　　 "Meow~"

　　 "What's wrong, do you want to eat?"

　　 The man turned his head and asked while stirring the liquid in his hand.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 Chocolate stood up, stretched out his front paws and shook it a few times.

　　 "Oh, a guest is here!"

　　 It was Hathaway Hesha who came to visit. In the evening, she had dinner with her family and returned to her house on the river bank to get some clothes. Only then did she hear the servants talk about Jenkins visiting this afternoon.

　　 "Please sit down."

　　 He sealed the operation room in the basement and cleared up a lot of debris in front of the fireplace in the living room before he invited the lady in. She was not impatient either. After entering the door, she handed Jenkins the windbreaker and hat, and sat quietly on the sofa to look at it.

　　 was busy in the kitchen for a while, and walked back to the living room with a teapot and a porcelain tea set on a tray. The figure of the woman reflected on the glass of the window, looking a little illusory.

　　 Hathaway probably came alone, and Jenkins did not see the carriage or servant from the window.

　　 "I really trouble you, and I came here specifically."

　　 "It doesn't matter, St. George Street is not very far either."

　　 She looked at Jenkins' living room, her eyes stopped for a while on the lady's pocket watch on the coffee table. The rose petal patterns and small shapes were definitely not for men.

　　 "Even to save money, there is no need to use a ladies' watch, right?"

　　 She did not suspect that this was a gift from a certain lady to Jenkins.

　　 "My watch will be repaired soon, this is just a substitute."

　　 If you want to explain the origin of this watch, it will definitely involve the 31st. Jenkins believes that there is no need to do this, although he has no plans to repair his pocket watch in the near future.

　　 After pouring out the tea, he also sat down and touched his nose:

　　 "I went to see you in the afternoon. There are some things. Oh, yes, I went out alone with Miss Mihail last night, and she invited me to a party."

　　 Having said that, he raised his head to look at the expression of the lady on the opposite side. She nodded in surprise, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for Jenkins to continue.

　　 Although there were some bad thoughts in his mind, the thoughts of who was sitting across from him disappeared in no time.

　　 "You should also know a lady named Lindsay? Yes, it is the granddaughter of the Speaker of the Kingdom..."

　　 He briefly explained what happened last night, and then warned:

"Miss Mikhail is also my friend, so I hope you can... restrain her behavior. This is too dangerous. In addition, I got news from my friend today, and the church has heard about it. , And started an investigation. Although the possibility of involving us is very small, we cannot relax our vigilance."

　　 "Psychic..."

　　 For an instant, her face was gloomy and terrible, and her eyes flashed with a slight fierce light:

　　 "Huh, Lindsay!"

Chapter 379 Chapter 374 Women and Etiquette and Funerals

　　 Hathaway, with a fierce look, really scared Jenkins:

　　 "I think you shouldn't be stupid..."

　　 he asked cautiously.

"of course not."

　　 The woman grabbed the white words, then smiled apologetically, sighed, and leaned back on the back of the chair:

　　 "It just feels a little tired. Gifters like us are desperately avoiding all kinds of inexplicable things, but ordinary people are full of interest in exploring the unknown."

　　 "That's because they don't know how to be awed."

Jenkins took the words, and Yu Guang glanced at the chocolate's tail flashing in front of the kitchen door, "We know more, have more, and know those more terrifying and secretive things, so we know how to awe... .please wait a while."

　　 stood up and walked towards the kitchen, the chocolates really fumbled in the basket on the tabletop. There are some dinner plates stored there, and Jenkins, who has recently suffered a serious decline in the quality of his diet, has a whim and is trying to draw some food in his memory.

　　 There are a small number of successful products on the plate, but doing so is too violent for the consumption of spirit, he just makes a little after dinner as a sweet after dinner.

　　 What chocolate is looking for should be today's creamy ice cream.

　　 "It will eat bad stomach."

　　 It grabbed the cat by the neck and wrapped it in its arms, and then walked back to the living room again.

　　 Hathaway was turning her head to stare at the fire, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she turned her head back, and was immediately amused by the picture of Jenkins walking by with the cat.

　　 "Sorry, my cat wants to steal food again. I just said...Oh, yes, anyway, please restrain Miss Mikhail's behavior. This kind of thing is really dangerous."

　　 "I understand, and thank you very much."

　　 "No thanks, but don't say it, I disclosed this matter, and I promised her not to say it."

　　 The red-haired lady gave a soft smile and nodded slightly.

　　 "Visiting me this afternoon, shouldn't it be for more than this thing?"

　　 Jenkins patted his head, and then remembered what happened in the afternoon:

　　 "Yes, a friend of mine has passed away. A funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon, but I have no experience in participating in such events, so I want to..."

"no problem."

　　 "Oh, please listen to me, there is actually one more thing. Well, a very important thing..."

　　 He blushed and mumbled for a long time before he made up his mind to speak out the request. Under normal circumstances, Jenkins would not trouble others easily:

　　 "Today I went to visit Bishop Parrod of the church. He told me that this year's Ritter Prize seems to have been awarded to me."

"is it?"

　　 She asked in surprise, then stood up and wanted to say something, then sat back again.

　　 "This is really amazing, this is the highest honor in the kingdom's literary world! I originally thought that only elderly gentlemen with glasses can receive such awards. This is really..."

　　 She looks more excited than Jenkins, expressing her joy incoherently:

　　 "Mr. William, congratulations."

　　 stood up, pretending to stretch out his white right hand. Jenkins also stood up, waved the non-existent hat on his head, then bent down and bowed, and finally / held the woman's hand and shook it a few times.

　　 The chocolate on the seat back obviously rolled his eyes.

　　 "So, you are going to become a real nobleman?"

　　 "What do you mean?"

　　 After the two sat down again, the conversation continued.

　　 "Don't you know? The Ritter Prize winners over the years will be knighted by the king at the dinner after the award ceremony. Since you are now an honorary baron, you can at least get the baron's title.

　　 Jenkins really doesn't know this. It seems that Berdylan's journey is more difficult than he thought.

"So now I am facing a problem. Because I have to meet the king, I think the royal family should send professionals to train me on etiquette skills urgently. But I am afraid it is not enough. Mr. Bishop asked me to find one by myself before leaving Nolan. A professional etiquette teacher."

　　 After he finished speaking, he looked at the opposite lady without blinking.

"I?"

　　 "My social circle is very small. I am afraid that this kind of thing will only trouble you. Of course, if you have a familiar etiquette teacher, you can also recommend it to me."

The woman shook her head lightly: "The time for the Ritter Award was mostly in the middle of this month in previous years. Although there are many etiquette teachers, it is difficult for me to find one for you in a hurry. After all, there is not much time. If you don’t really Don't mind, I can teach you some basic etiquette courses in the next half month. It's just the basics. In the past, Teacher Sadana often complained that I am not a person who likes rules."

　　 "No problem, thank you so much!"

　　 He let out a long sigh of relief. The most important thing now is to fool around with the award. As for the things that follow, you can take your time. Whether it is Hathaway or Miss Audrey, it should be able to help him find a professional etiquette teacher in the local area.

　　 This evening, Hathaway spent a long time telling Jenkins about the funeral habits and taboos. There are no interesting customs. When talking about tribute and silence, her mood became worse again.

　　 "Who is your friend?"

　　 "Mason Pisco. You should know that it is the very famous screenwriter. "Mr. Baote's Forever 31st Days" is his work."

　　 did not explain how to get acquainted with this gentleman, Hathaway did not ask, he noticed Jenkins's low mood.

　　 The next day was Saturday. As he had to take time off to attend the funeral in the afternoon, Jenkins wanted to go to the store early. He knew that Dad would definitely allow him to leave, but the frequent leave of absence recently still made him feel bad.

　　 When he arrived at the store, the old man was sitting in an antique rocking chair in front of the fire, looking at today's "Nolan Daily".

　　 "Is it so early today?"

　　 eyes look at the young man from above the glasses.

　　 "Oh, I want to take a leave for something in the afternoon, so come early in the morning."

　　 "Go when you have something, and there is no business in the store recently."

　　 The old man spoke slowly, then set his sights on the newspaper again.

　　 This is the third day of this month, and the antique shop has only made one transaction. Moreover, it was a fake that was close to a handicraft. The buyer was also an old antique collector, and only after he liked the style of the bowl, he made up his mind to buy it.

　　 "It doesn't matter, I am not a relative, I just need to arrive at the cemetery in the afternoon."

　　 "It's a funeral..."

　　 Dad shook his head, "Remember to dress decently and bring a bunch of flowers. I remember your clothes are all black, which is convenient."
