At 9 am, Hilston District, a high-end hotel.

Klein picked up a bottle of beautifully packaged white wine, and gave it to the opposite old man with a smile:

"Mr. Asnia, thank you very much for coming over and interviewing me. This is a very small gift. Please accept it.

"I will make a decision at the latest tomorrow. At that time, I may come to visit you."

He is using a euphemistic attitude to indicate that the other party has lost the election.

Frankly speaking, he is quite satisfied with the old Mr. Asnia. The other party perfectly fits his imagination of the butler, rigorous, decent, professional, and comprehensible, and is good at dealing with various troubles.

As the longest and longest of the three family members, he actually took a full half an hour ahead of time and patiently waited outside the door, while Ribak and Walter were only a quarter of an hour ahead.

If it weren't for the "mirror", Arrods hinted that there were some extra clues in the two, Klein felt that he would choose the old gentleman. Anyway, his main purpose was to use the stewardship of the housekeeper to mix in more easily and naturally. High society, reaching out to the corresponding goals.

The bottle of white wine was considered to be a disappointment today, wasting a round-trip carriage ride, specially bought at the Intis Serenzo restaurant, each bottle worth 2 pounds.

This can effectively enrich the image of Daun. Tang Taisi is a very rich and mysterious rich man.

In addition, he also believes that the housekeepers of a noble family cannot be underestimated. In the past professional experience, such people must know a large number of high society, many professional butlers and countless servants. The middle and lower levels can effectively influence a gentleman's style, which is a necessary reference for entering a higher level social circle.

In the current era, the 55-year-old Asnia hair has been white, and the blue eyelids have precipitated the wisdom brought by the years. He did not reject the gift of Daun Dontes, and took a look at it. A meticulous manner:

“I really like this white wine from Calode, thank you for your generosity and praise for your demeanor.”

Calode? Yes, the waiter introduced yesterday, this is a winery in the province of Intis Champagne, famous for producing high-grade wines, several of which are considered top-ranking wines, hey, a housekeeper knows more than me. Class knowledge, too, just as Mr. Asnia said, the wine cellar of the nobility and the rich is directly responsible by the housekeeper or a butler's assistant... Does this mean that I have a wine cellar after 2 pounds? It's the bottom type, the 126 pounds of the 1330 Ormil red wine is not the best... How much does a wine cellar cost... Thinking about it, Klein feels that his chest is a bit boring, suspecting that he has ruled out the gold coins. 2888 pounds won't last long.

If it is not the experience of the "clown" stage, he will definitely have a state of ecstasy at this time, instead of smiling and opening:

"Your favorite is the greatest compliment to me, Mr. Asnia, please take care of Mr. Ribak in the coffee shop below."

Asnia agreed without hesitation. In less than five minutes, Ribak knocked on the door and entered the room to stay in the living room.

This gentleman has a neatly groomed pale gold hair with a little wrinkles on his lips. It is not too obvious. His skin color is healthy and temperament is masculine. At first glance, he is the kind of housekeeper who can accompany the owner to hunt and even fight against the enemy.

After greeting each other, Klein smiled and asked the other person to sit down and bluntly said:

"Forgive my frankness, I don't understand too much why you become the steward of Baron Sindras. Your father is the deputy steward of the Nigan family. Your grandfather is the deacon of this family. Many of your ancestors serve. The Duke and his relatives have been returning to the embrace of God, and you should have such a life track."

Because of the influence of Russell the Great, the countries of the Northern Continents originally liked to express the habit of a nobleman by the title of the land and the title of the aristocracy, and the former name will be used unless there is a special official occasion. Of course, there are also a few noble names. Directly from the name of the enclosure.

Ribak smiled and replied standardly:

"The Baron Sindras is a new aristocrat and a friend of the old duke. Therefore, I was sent to his home to help him and his family adapt to the life of the nobility and master the etiquette."

The old duke in his mouth refers to the father of the current Duke of Nigan, Pallas Nigan, who was assassinated last year.

"So, why did you leave the Baron's house later?" Klein asked with discretion.

Ribak said calmly:

"Although the Baron Cindras is relying on the Conservative Party, he is one of the most famous bankers, investors and business owners in the Kingdom. He is one of the earliest multi-millionaires and has a strong new party. Compassion and willingness to provide some help, which caused him to contradict many conservative aristocrats, including the Little Duke.

"So, in order to avoid the baron's embarrassment, I offered to leave. He actually has to retain me. He is a very good employer."

Klein nodded and asked:

"Do you believe in the Lord of the Storm?"

Ribak responded earnestly:

"Yes, the Lord has given us courage, enthusiasm and responsibility."

Klein asked a few more questions about the housekeeping field and got a detailed answer. He smiled at Ribuck:

"Trouble you to go downstairs to the coffee shop and ask Mr. Walter to come up.

"When I talk to him, I will make a decision. You can wait ten minutes in the coffee shop."

"Okay." Ribak didn't have any embarrassment. He immediately got up and saluted, and his style was very military.

After watching him go out and closing the door, Klein sat down again, took the black tea and took a sip, silently saying:

"If you choose him, you should establish contact with the current Duke of Nigan and the Conservative Party. The extra expansion may include some cases of previous assassinations..."

It didn't take long for Walter to arrive and knock inside.

Klein first greeted each other with a few words, and then asked:

"What is the contradiction between you and the housekeeper of the Viscount Conrad? You know, I have to figure this out, I can't bear the risk of offending a nobleman."

Walter's forehead is wide, his hair is black, his brown hair is serious, but he doesn't feel that he can't talk. He thought for a few seconds:

"As an assistant to the butler, I was responsible for the children of the Viscounts. In the process, because of some things, I got the appreciation of a big man, which was heavily weighted by the Viscount and was watched by the housekeeper.

"Later, the big man died of an accident, and the attitude of the Viscount to me changed. The steward is even less friendly, which makes me think there is no need to wait for a turn."

The children in charge of the Viscount met a big man... Well, Talim was also known to Prince Edsack in the process of teaching the son of Conord, and the prince was Beckland a few months ago. The smog incident died... This is in line with Walter's statement... It seems that this housekeeper is the marginal victim of the original thing... He is still very cautious and professional, not exposing the employer's short, not revealing the prince's Things, there is no bad thing about the Viscount butler... If you choose him, the extra expansion is worth looking forward to... Klein listened quietly and thought of something.

He turned to some professional topics and expressed his desire to enter the upper class. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he took care of his clothes and smiled and got up:

"Re-recognize, Dawn Don Tas, your employer."

Walter immediately salutes:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

He always maintains a serious and old-fashioned, steady and unpredictable look, and seems to think that this is the professionalism of the butler.

"Two things." Klein laughed. "First, help me bring this bottle of white wine to Mr. Ribak in the coffee shop below, and convey my apologies and thanks. Second, please ask a lawyer. , to develop a professional contract that includes you and the rest of the servants."

"Yes, sir." Walter once again saluted.

Klein handed the white wine to the other side and asked casually:

"Walter, how many servants do you think I should hire without being rude?"

Walter took the bottle of Carlod white wine and replied without hesitation:

"You should first determine where you live. Only in this way can you know how many servants you need."

"Well, what advice do you have? My request is very simple. I live in the North District. I am a devout goddess." Klein drew a red moon on his chest.

Judging from the information I saw in newspapers and magazines, the rent of a garden villa in a high-end neighborhood in the city is at least 3 pounds per week, which is 156 pounds per year... although there is no direct data, it can be inferred. The very good garden villas in the suburbs are around 2 pounds per week, and the one-bedroom and several-bedroom rooms in the high-end apartments are similar. This is considered to be quite extravagant. It is the place where the upper middle class has the ability to rent. Well, you can borrow This preliminary inferred the rent of the rich house...

It’s really expensive to think about it. In the city of Tingen, I, Benson and Melissa rented a garden-free townhouse only 13 times a week, plus an additional 5 pence of furniture, which used to live on Minsk Street. That house did not reach 1 pound...

Hey, 3 pounds for 3 pounds, I still have 2888 pounds. It doesn't matter if you rent a little better. It doesn't matter... Waiting for Walter to answer, Klein silently recalls the house rental information in his heart, calculating the weekly The money paid.

Walter thought for two seconds and answered seriously:

"Sir, you can choose 32 Burk Lund Street, which is close to the Church of St. Sayre. It is a three-story building with more than ten rooms, with stables, servant rooms and a rather large garden. Baron, member of the House of Commons, senior barrister...

“The furnishings in it are very particular. There are many famous paintings and antiques. All the furniture and utensils are enough to set off your identity. You can rent for a year, feel satisfied and consider whether to buy the whole.”

Sounds great... Klein smiled and asked:

“How much does it cost a year?”

Walter reported the numbers seriously and skillfully:

"Including furniture usage fees, 1,260 pounds per year." (Note 1)

"..." Klein was glad that he was not drinking tea, otherwise he must have sprayed a housekeeper's face.

He used the "clown" almost all control power, so he did not make the expression abnormal.

Note 1: The housing rent situation is derived from “How much is the value of money in the past” and “Study on the marriage and family life of the British middle class in Victoria”.

The 1,260-pound building was rented to the embassy in the Qing Dynasty. I have no premium. I don’t know.

PS: Recommend a book "Tomorrow's Robbery". The dark and desperate world background has a different kind of charm. The protagonist's lazy system makes the whole body not always tight, and there is a relaxation.
