Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 257 Old bald man, your playbook is the most useless!

Shi Huizhen came to a courtyard in a carriage.After the car stopped, a Greek servant with a big beard came up to him.

"It turned out to be Miss Shi." He saw Nurse Rong in the front seat, and warmly greeted her: "Do you need our help?"

"No, the carriage will leave later. This is the public carriage provided by the palace, and we have to pull other people." Rong Nuo jumped out of the carriage, took out a name card, and handed it to him: "We are Princess Shou Invited."

"It's okay, we all recognize you." He gave the name card back to Nanny Rong after a symbolic glance, and then said in a low voice: "Next time, you can order some name plates to mark your identity and fix them on the On the carriage. In this way, it will be more conspicuous, and it is also in line with the status of the eldest lady."

"But this is someone else's car." Nanny Rong told him.

"Don't worry, you can just tell the coachman." The servant said with a smile, "Just give him half of Nomisma, and they will arrange for you every time you and your lady use the car."

"Everyone will help you make hanging racks, and there are fixed stakes on the carriages. Oh, and those silk and gilt decorations are specially rented out. Hang them up when you use them, and take them down when you're done. Just give it back to people.”

"Huh? But this is the princess's car after all..." Aunt Rong was obviously too honest and couldn't turn around for a while.

"How could the princess not know about these things. She just acquiesced in letting you use them." The servant pointed out: "These days, the old nobles are earning less and less money, but they still have to support the scene, so this kind of habit has formed. In fact, everyone knows these things more or less, but they just don’t talk about it tacitly.”

"Oh, it's easier to understand this way." Mother Rong probably understood.

She turned her head and urged, "What are you doing, Alexandra? Let the lady come down?"

"Miss' skirt is stuck." The voice of the noble mother came from the carriage: "I'm helping her get it out."

"Holy Mother—how did you do it?!" Mother Rong quickly strode over to help.The two cooperated from inside to outside, and finally pulled out the skirt stuck in the cushion.

Shi Huizhen didn't dare to move anymore, saying that if she moved the neighbor casually, her sleeves would sweep a pile of things, and the too long skirt made it difficult for her to get out of the car.Nanny Rong simply hugged her feet and let Nanny Gui support her arms. The two of them lifted Shi Huizhen, together with the huge dress and long skirt, directly down like a log.

"You can carry me to the place like this. I really don't think this dress is suitable for people to walk on." Shi Huizhen suggested.

"No!" Rong Momo and Gui Momo refused in unison this time: "You have to walk over by yourself!"

"Hey, I really hate these..." Shi Huizhen muttered.

"By the way, miss, we need to prepare some etiquette items next time." Rong Rong told her about the situation just now: "Although it is troublesome, there are always various unspoken rules in the noble circle, and we can only adapt to it."

"Okay. But if you don't tell me, I really don't know. Then where do I learn all this?" Shi Huizhen sighed.

"Oh, you can just ask them." Madam Rong pointed to the servant who received her.

"You don't have to pay too much attention, Miss. This kind of circle is actually the same." The servant comforted her: "The sense of nobility and mystery they maintain is nothing more than these deliberately formed rules. What's the point? We can tell you everything you need to pay attention to.”

"I'm not a young lady, I just took advantage of the princess' favor. My family still doesn't recognize me." Shi Huizhen said bluntly: "I know this, so it's useless."

"It doesn't matter, the nobles, if you can put on a show, you can scare many people. Besides, you teased Mrs. Colonis last time, everyone was very happy, and you helped us out." The servant told her : "As long as you need help, our male and female housekeepers and waiters will try their best to help."

"Oh, that lazy guy..." Shi Huizhen thought for a while, and got some impressions.Even among the many she mocked, Mrs Colonis was impressive.

She was not too surprised by the willingness of the servants to help.Although she often had conflicts with others, her relationship with these unknown ordinary people has always been quite good.

"Do you understand those rules?" Rong Nuo asked curiously.

"Of course. I can help you with the decoration of the carriage. You can ask Ms. Adamos for some tips on the dress."

"I thought I should ask which nobleman."

"What do nobles know about noble etiquette?" The servant said with a smile: "Nobles can only learn how to brag. Those etiquette rules are all trained hard by a large group of us, and we can remind them at any time."

"People always say that a noble family with a deep heritage will have a group of the most professional servants. But in fact, it is a professional servant team that has trained the nobles who can perform best and make people feel that they have a profound background." He joked: "A good servant is like a horseman, who must first learn how to appease and discipline his masters—otherwise, they won't even be able to wear clothes."

"That's right. At least they won't really ride on their master." Nanny Rong nodded.

"If it's a French servant, it's really hard to say..." the well-informed noble mother complained.

Shi Huizhen, who was not very ladylike, also understood the joke at once, and laughed along with it.

"In this way, they are not as good as the nobles in my hometown. Those people at least dare to fight desperately." Rong Rong shook her head.

"Of course. Otherwise, how could they be beaten to the point where there is only one city left." The servant shrugged.

Sure enough, he went to talk to the coachman, and the coachman also patted his chest, promising to ask the price first.Then, he called two more maids and asked them to take Shi Huizhen and his party to the venue.

"Miss, you can put down the sword first..." One of the maids suggested, looking at Shi Huizhen who was still holding the sword.

"Wherever I go without a sword, I always have no idea." Shi Huizhen really explained.

The maid was a little bit embarrassed, but another person next to him thought about it, took out a rope from his satchel, picked it out, and chose an orange one.

"Come on, try this." She said, took the sword, tied the loop on the scabbard with the rope buckle on the belt, and put it on Shi Huizhen's shoulder.Although the plain scabbard didn't quite match the overall attire, the colors of the belt, clothes and sword were at least coordinated.

"Why are you carrying so many straps?" Shi Huizhen asked curiously.

"I'm in charge of emergency clothes for the ladies." The maid said, "If they need temporary adjustments for various reasons, I'll use these spare parts to make up."

"Why do you need so many ropes for emergency?" Shi Huizhen asked curiously.

"It can't be helped, why do people often break the tie." The maid laughed.

"..."

Shi Huizhen was rarely speechless, so she could only follow them and walk in cautiously.

After entering the gate, the number of guests increased.The maid reminded Shi Huizhen in a low voice to pay attention to her steps.But judging from the results, she probably worried too much.

Most people here recognized Shi Huizhen, greeted her politely, and hurriedly avoided.Some people simply ran behind the pillars ahead of time when they saw her coming in, or pretended to be talking with others, ignoring her.

It was too late for everyone to hide from her, and no one cared about her manners and clothing.

At the entrance of the hall, Sir Frajos, the host, stood behind the porch and greeted the guests.

He was tall and lanky, dressed in an elaborate robe, and what little remained of his hair was carefully styled around his bald head.At this moment, he is holding a wine glass and talking to a group of people next to him.

Seeing him, Shi Huizhen's eyes lit up.

"Hey, old baldy!" she said with a smile, "how is your playbook doing?"
