03 错误百出的日记——铁牛与翠花的爱情故事 Ⅱ(2)

As mentioned above, I have three elder brothers. Alex (Alexandre) is the most excellent one among us for he has been holding the primogeniture since the incipient stage of the womb of mom. He has to spare no efforts to become a qualified successor of the Jade. The Jade had from time immemorial -- from the very earlist earliest of the old colonial days -- been the leading family of the castle. We are on the ground called Midgard, where several castles are in peaceful confrontation superficially, among which Castle Memimomo is the richest and most broad. The antecedent of the Jade discovered the hidden jade mine and founded Memimomo. The men of the Jade have to be endowed with civil and martial virtues and the women have to be foremost in all good works. There is no doubt that Castllen Edward Jade and Alexandre Jade are fine examples. My second elder brother is Ben(Benjamin). Contrary to Alex, Ben is physically weak so he is allowed not to attend martial classes which I always wanna skip. Ben will study medical books and chess. His knowledge of mathematics and physics is far beyond his peers. He is of great intelligence, so I adore him and would like to stay with him. Connor is a stout guy with inexhaustible strength. He dislikes books or classes and I dislike them neither, so we always skip classes to spur horses and roam the castle. Connar is a brave and reliable brother in most ocassions occasions except when any spider exists because he has a phobia of spiders. We tend to be in trouble and frequently caned and scolded to redeem the situation by father. Mom will shed tears silently as she gazes at painful and screaming us. The quota of vulnerary herbs is strict due to father’s instructions. So Connar and I will lie in the bed for at least half a month.
