Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 320: "An Introduction to Mechanical Principles Even Geese Can Understand"

Rena is very busy because this is the first time that the tank has been put into actual combat. All the data is sent to Rena, and Rena also needs to make improvements to the tank based on the problems that have arisen this time.

However, Lind was very open-minded. To be honest, he was very satisfied with the effect achieved in the first actual combat. As for the inability to cross the overly wide trench, it was not a problem with Reina's design, nor was it a problem that could be solved now. The original role of the tank was not to rush in and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, or to chase and kill the enemy.

However, Reina still devoted herself to her work. Under such circumstances, the noble ladies in the royal capital could not make an appointment with Reina at all.

These nobles gave up on using Reina as a breakthrough point and instead prepared to curry favor with Reina, but the stubborn Reina was slow to realize the nobles' overtures.

Fortunately, Reina finally reacted. As the prime minister's wife, it would be bad if she didn't know any of the nobles in the royal capital. Reina's social circle in the royal capital was originally very narrow. Although many people knew Reina, few were willing to make friends with her. Now it was time for her to get to know them better.

The main reason was that more and more nobles usually saluted Reina, but Reina didn't recognize any of them, which was really embarrassing. Moreover, she finally returned to the royal capital, and Linde became the highest official Reina had imagined, so Reina also wanted to show off a little.

So finally, at Lena's suggestion, Linde finally met these nobles at the ball.

If it weren't for Reina's suggestion, Lind actually didn't like to participate in these aristocratic social activities. Unlike the aristocrats of this era who liked to talk about everything at balls, Lind had always adhered to the principle of impartiality. If there was anything, he would just explain it in the submitted documents and reports. Gray and White Collar had also always followed this model.

These nobles obviously realized this. At the ball, they did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, they felt more like they were at work. The originally imagined indirect attempts to test Linde's attitude did not happen at all. By the time these nobles came to their senses, not only did they not find out anything, but they were assigned a lot of thankless work.

Linde's place was like a large interview site. These nobles came up to talk to Linde, talking about their family background and their abilities. Then Linde arranged jobs for these nobles based on their behavior and conversation. From time to time, he would pull out a copy of these nobles' information from the shadows. Linde's meaning was very clear. This was equivalent to an assessment. If they did well, they would be hired. If they didn't do well, they'd better find another way out as soon as possible.

Well, at least I have a job, right? At least it's better than being completely deprived of power and being a vase. And it's not that I haven't tried to find out what my attitude is. Lind's meaning is very clear. If you want to get close to me, you can do something practical and show some results first.

There is no other choice but to go and roll.

On Reina's side, the ladies were much more relaxed. Reina was more of a "rich and powerful woman who doesn't return home" kind of person, like walking in the night in fine clothes" attitude. As soon as she came up, she exuded an aura of "come and praise me".

After frantic probing, all kinds of hints and intrigues, these ladies were certain that Reina had not made any progress since she left the capital. All her emotions were written on her face. Not to mention her political intelligence, she didn't even have a brain.

Reina didn't understand a word of what the ladies were hinting at.

Given the obvious difference in rank, Reina was quickly flattered, especially by her former acquaintances in the royal capital, who kept trying to get close to Reina.

In the past, these ladies would laugh at Reina's stupidity behind her back, but now, the ladies only dare to say that Reina has a kind of innocent beauty.

Just when these noble ladies thought they could easily control Reina, their journey of asceticism was about to begin.

In the second half of the ball, Reina was already yawning out of tiredness, which was completely rude for a lady, but it was obvious that in this venue, Reina was etiquette.

As soon as Reina showed a little tiredness, Linde looked at Reina as if he had telepathy.

Because this ball was able to be held entirely because of Reina, simply because Reina wanted to show off a little in front of the nobles in the royal capital. If Reina showed any signs of fatigue, the ball would probably end early.

Seeing Lind's reaction, the nobles immediately became anxious.

Even though Linde was like a cold machine at the ball, only talking with these nobles about the people's livelihood and work in the royal capital, for these nobles, the opportunity to become familiar with Linde was very precious, so they must not let Reina feel bored, absolutely not.

Especially those nobles who were not qualified to show their faces in front of Lind at the beginning and did not even have a job, were now frantically winking at their wives, their eyes were almost cramping. Although Lind arranged some thankless jobs that the real nobles basically looked down upon, this was a very important opportunity for these lower-level nobles. After all, anyone could see that the governor did not like nobles very much, and the next opportunity would probably have to wait until who knows when.

Reina once wanted to fit in with the circle of noble ladies in the royal capital, so these noble ladies thought it was a very simple thing to arouse Reina's interest at first. However, these noble ladies soon discovered that Reina, who once worked hard to learn aristocratic etiquette and the topics among noble ladies, was no longer interested in these topics. She even felt more tired after listening to them, and even felt a little exhausted.

Seeing that Reina remained indifferent after changing several topics and even revealing some top-secret gossip, these ladies became more and more anxious, but fortunately, these ladies were skilled enough and immediately changed their tactics and began to guess Reina's preferences.

The original Reina in the royal capital period could definitely not be used as a reference. Soon a noble lady thought of Reina watching the military parade and tentatively asked Reina about the steel monster, that is, the tank.

I originally thought that this topic would be rather private, and Reina wouldn't talk about it even if she was really interested, but unexpectedly, Reina's eyes lit up immediately, and she grabbed the noble lady's hand and started chatting.

Including some of the problems that the tank is currently facing, such as the steering is not flexible enough and the ability to cross the terrain is not outstanding enough. Of course, Lena also knew her limits and did not talk about some specific parameters of the tank, but when the conversation became excited, Lena took out a draft paper from somewhere and started writing and drawing in front of these ladies.

Even those who have received basic education, and even many of the ladies who have been exposed to some advanced education and miscellaneous studies, are completely unable to keep up with Reina's thinking. They can only say that although they can't understand it, it's still very amazing.

And Reina seemed to have returned to her white-collar life. Every noble lady could chat with her. Especially the noble ladies in the royal capital were more educated, which gave Reina an illusion.

"Let's stop here for today."

Reina raised the straw paper she had drawn with satisfaction, looked at the tired ladies and said, "We'll talk about the rest at the next tea party."

When they heard that there would be another tea party, the tired ladies' eyes finally lit up. But when they heard that they were going to talk about the mysterious mechanical principles again, they took a step back in fear.

"Well...Madam Governor, this isn't usually what we talk about at tea parties."

When the noble lady thought about having to stare at the pile of drawings during future tea parties, she mustered up the courage to remind Lena.

"Really? But isn't this what we talk about at tea parties in the North?"

"..."

The book "Introduction to Mechanical Principles Even a Big Goose Can Understand" which was originally a best-seller in the North but no one was interested in it in the capital, was sold out in the capital overnight.
