Alien landlady

Chapter 10 New job
Seya told Fern in a few words that because of her stubbornness and stubbornness, she made her life in the etiquette school very embarrassing. In order to avoid being ridiculed by other girls, she could only choose to let Fern stay at home, but she will not be dismissed for the time being. , she is still a personal maid, and Delly just goes out with her.

Fern was still struggling to accept this reality, and her face was flushed, as if she could growl if given a little prodding.

In fact, Seiya herself also has a drum in her heart. She respects her mother, so she will not change her mother's arrangement easily, but she agrees with Bai Tongtong from the bottom of her heart. She is the future Mrs. Galty, and the focus of her life is to learn Leaning towards her fiancé, she couldn't let Fern interfere with her inappropriately.

Fern argued a few words, and even shed tears. Seya struggled for a while, and finally insisted on her decision. Delly will go out with herself in the future. If Fern can't respect and accept the local social customs, she will no longer be qualified as a personal maid this important work.

This sentence frightened Fern, she turned pale and ran out of the living room.

Bai Tongtong stood up, walked to Seiya, bent down and hugged her, gave her comfort and encouragement, then kissed her on the forehead, left her to continue reading and studying alone, and left the living room to find the housekeeper, Mr. Swift .

After all, Seiya was used to obeying her parents' arrangements when she was a child, and now she needs to learn to make up her own mind, make judgments, and be a qualified hostess, all of which need a process.

Fern has already run back to the attic bedroom. The housekeeper and the cook are congratulating Delly for her new opportunity. Bai Tongtong walks into the kitchen and asks the housekeeper and the cook to help and urge Seiya to practice etiquette. The local government asked them to point it out sternly. At the wedding in a few months, I hope that the guests will see a perfect bride praised by everyone.

The servants agreed obligatoryly. After all, Mr. Galty was their real employer. Of course, they hoped that the future mistress would be a noble and elegant lady, not a poor wretch whose reputation was discredited by some unknown maid.

After explaining what she could do to help, Bai Tongtong went back to her bedroom upstairs, put the books, pens and papers in the drawer of the bedside table, then took an interesting book and sat under the window to read silently.

To live better in this world, she needs to learn more, and books are the best teachers.

Before dinner, Seiya didn't receive a note from her fiancé, stating that she didn't need to go to have dinner together, so the two girls were finally able to sit in their own restaurant and enjoy a warm dinner among friends, chatting about some private conversations between the girls.

After dark, Bai Tongtong sent the servants to take care of Seiya to rest. She sat outside by the well and washed her outdoor equipment. There were several big holes in the jacket, and she couldn't mend it. She could only gently scrub and clean it. , hang on the clothesline to let the dry summer night air dry.

Outdoor boots are the most difficult to wash. The mud in the forest gets into the eyelets of the shoelaces. You have to use a brush to clean them little by little. After that, you also put them in a cool place where the sun can’t reach them. It’s estimated that they will be completely dry tomorrow night. .

The next day Bai Tongtong woke up early, only the servants were working, and the cook was waiting for the bread to be baked in the kitchen.

Bai Tongtong ordered a glass of honey water and a few leftover biscuits from yesterday, and after a simple meal, went upstairs to change clothes and went for a run on the street.

After going out, Bai Tongtong ran towards the end of Knight Garden Street in Leacock, turned a corner and ran towards March 323th Street, and then connected to other streets. Without knowing it, he ran in a big circle. Fortunately, he did not lose his way, and finally Run back to [-] from the street on Fa Yuen Street.

When I got home, the sky was already bright, and I added a glass of honey water again. Bai Tongtong went to the backyard to practice boxing, and practiced various weapons several times.

Now that life seems to be stabilizing, it's time to get back to your usual routine.

When Bai Tongtong was practicing boxing, Seya also came back from her fiancé's house. Seeing the servants watching the fun at the back door, she also went to watch it for a while. Unfortunately, time was limited, so she had to change clothes and take Daili out .

Mrs. Blue, the cook, couldn't finish the whole thing either. She had to hurry up and go shopping. The butler, Mr. Swift, would take care of Bai Tongtong for breakfast at home. As for Fen, this was the first time she had fully seen Bai Tongtong's abilities. His face was pale, and he didn't know where he went without saying a word.

After practicing and sweating, Mr. Swift prepared bath water for Bai Tongtong in the bathroom when he was having breakfast in the restaurant. After tidying himself up, the cook also came back with a basket of fresh vegetables, and Bai Tongtong was idling around. It's okay, I just sat in the kitchen and helped the cook pick vegetables, the housekeeper was also there, and the three of them chatted together.

This is the first time I have had a serious chat with the servants. From their words, it can be seen that Fern has committed public anger. Even the servants on Mr. Galty's side know Fern's bad habits, and they are very disgusted with her, and they are even thinking about it. After the two young people get married, they will persuade the master to drive Fern back to her hometown.

The butler and the cook hoped that Bai Tongtong could help her out. If Ms. *** wants to truly integrate into the local aristocratic social circle, she must not use Fen again. Li, that lowly girl who still needs to be trained, is much better than Fen.

The lethality of gossip in the circle is very strong.

Bai Tongtong expressed that she would persuade Seya to maintain the current achievements, and also implored the housekeepers and cooks to give the little girl more time, there are too many homework to learn to grow into a qualified hostess, fortunately, this is also one of the courses taught in the etiquette school one.

Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, and Mrs. Blue, the cook, had completely understanding smiles on their faces. They are already very old, and they have heard many lucky or unlucky cases. They sincerely hope that Mr. Galty and Miss*** a happy future.

While chatting and working, the time passed very quickly. Just as I thought it was still early, I heard a voice from the front living room, and then Delly rushed into the kitchen. The butler immediately washed his hands and prepared drinks and snacks. Fen, who was staying in her own bedroom, had already served Seiya back to her room to change.

Bai Tongtong sat without moving. She was whipping mayonnaise in a large bowl. She wanted to make a vegetable salad. Due to the fact that she couldn't eat stir-fried vegetables without a wok, salad was her second choice.

Half an hour later, Seya came to the kitchen. She couldn't wait to tell Bai Tongtong about the news, but the mayonnaise was not ready yet. Seya, who was used to cooking in her hometown, sat down beside her without hesitation and told Bai Tongtong. New information about her conversation with the teacher at recess today.

"Tongtong, do you know? You are now a celebrity in the aristocratic circle. Mrs. Hope told everyone your name. The teacher asked me if I knew how capable you were, and she might have a job introduction. Of course I I praised you a lot, and the teacher asked me to tell you to wait for her news in the past few days."

Mrs. Blue and Delly immediately gave an exclamation of joy.

"The attack on Mrs. Hope happened the day before yesterday. The news spread so quickly?" Bai Tongtong was surprised at the speed of news spreading in the circle.

"I was also surprised at first, but the teacher said that this is normal. A gossip from someone in the east of the city at breakfast time will be known in the west of the city in the evening. After one night, people in the south and north of the city will also know. Besides, the day before yesterday The whole city knew about it at that time, and you protected Mrs. Hope from fatal attacks several times, even if you didn't want to, it wouldn't stop others from wanting to know who was so powerful."

"Oh, I hope the next job isn't too dangerous."

"Don't worry about that. The teacher said that the ones who need to be escorted are her students. It's very easy. You just need to rush to the country manor to pick her up and return to the city."

"Where are the gentlemen at home?"

Seya tilted his head, "I didn't ask. It must be the same situation as when I came here. If there is a gentleman escort at home, I won't be accompanied by a female guard."

"It sounds simple enough."

"Then it's settled. When I get the exact news, don't let others take the lead."

"This cannot be guaranteed." Bai Tongtong blinked slyly.

Mrs. Blue, the cook, also laughed and chimed in, "Tongtong is a celebrity now, and you have to wait in line to hire her."

Seiya giggled, "Tomorrow I will promise to tell everyone in the school."

When the cook started cooking on the stove, Seiya finally left the kitchen and went to the living room to rest. Bai Tongtong also made a big bowl of mayonnaise, boiled the water to boil the shredded vegetables, and quickly finished a big bowl of vegetable salad in 5 minutes. I also added some diced fruit to add some nice colors.

It's good to be able to cook by yourself.

Putting the leftover mayonnaise in a copper-covered jar, Bai Tongtong took another bowl, shared enough salad for her and Seiya, and shared the rest with the servants.

At the afternoon snack time, Bai Tongtong made some pancake rolls by himself. Mrs. Blue ate two in a row, licking her fingers and insisting that she would take Bai Tongtong to go grocery shopping tomorrow.

Before going to bed at night, Bai Tongtong put away the laundry that was washed last night, folded each piece neatly, put it in a cloth bag and put it in the backpack. The large-capacity backpack can even hold the boots, and it will not open after zipping up the zipper .

When she came back early the next morning, Bai Tongtong first made two sandwiches for Seya for her to eat during recess, then went to the market with the cook, and after buying vegetables, she went to the backyard to practice boxing. After taking a shower, she sat in the kitchen to pick Dishes chatting.Just like yesterday, the whole morning just slipped through my fingers.

When Seya came back at noon, she brought Bai Tongtong a note from her employer. After lunch, Bai Tongtong rushed to the employer's house for an interview. She didn't ask why she asked a female guard to go to the country manor to escort the lady back to the city. She told the hostess clearly that she would not Concerned about that, she only cared about whether she could get the job.

The hostess seemed very happy with what Bai Tongtong said, and the two sides set a departure time for tomorrow, and Bai Tongtong left.

This errand was paid by the employer at the price of one gold coin a day. After all, it was just a pick-up and drop-off task without any danger, but she couldn’t come back that day, and Bai Tongtong had to stay in the manor for one night, so the first thing she did after returning home was Open the closet and pack your clothes.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Tongtong rushed to the employer's house first, then changed to their carriage, and arrived at the manor after spending half a day, and met the task object to be escorted, a girl who was two or three years younger than Seiya. By the way, I also learned that the reason for hiring a female guard was simply because the gentlemen in the family went on business trips, and the young lady was sent back to the manor for recuperation due to illness. Now that she has recovered, of course she has to go home and continue her classes.

See, it's true that you don't need to ask the employer about the reason for the assignment on the spot, you can naturally know the story behind it when you see the protected object.

Bai Tongtong spent a pleasant night as if on vacation. The little girl is a cute and sweet girl. Bai Tongtong saw the excellent results of Pepper School of Etiquette in her. She is dignified and elegant without lacking her own personality. Played a few rounds of cards together.

In the afternoon of the next day, Bai Tongtong escorted the little girl back home. After receiving her reward, Bai Tongtong left quickly, but her job was praised by her employer. Although the guards are mercenaries, they have no nasty habits, are polite and funny, no wonder Mrs. Hope hires them at a high price.

Of course, Bai Tongtong didn't know what the employer of this mission thought of her. All she could do was think of taking a shower and lying down after going home. She sat in the carriage for several hours, her calves were swollen.

Seya was reading a book in the living room. Seeing Bai Tongtong come back, he put down the book and went back to her bedroom with her, sat on the edge of her bed, watched her change clothes, and told her about the two days of class, and invited the two of them together tomorrow afternoon Go to a tailor and try on clothes.

"Balbo said that he will hold a party for me this Sunday afternoon, and his friends want to see me very much." Seya smiled when she mentioned her fiancé.

"I hope that at the tailor tomorrow, your new dress will not be altered from left to right." The idea of ​​the party was good, and Bai Tongtong also had a good impression of Mr. Galty, and paid enough attention to his fiancée and future married life.

"I think so too, but Balbo said that if you can't wear new ones by then, it doesn't matter if you just wear old skirts. Those who come are all his best friends, and they don't care whether my clothes are new or old."

"Since he said so, then you can rest assured." Bai Tongtong closed the closet door, lowered her head and glanced at Seiya as she straightened her belt. She knew that Seya still wanted to wear a new dress to entertain guests. After all, it was her first time attending a social occasion. , not to mention that the female relatives who will come at that time must also be well-dressed.

The two girls went downstairs to the living room hand in hand and continued to stay until dinner time. Mr. Galti, as Mr. Faseas' personal assistant, always had some social occasions that required him to appear. As for having dinner together, she is adapting to her new living environment and habits with astonishing speed.
