Chapter 12: Yager, the butler, hides a lot of things.

Jiang Yan didn't have the courage to look up again, so she simply went back to her house, passing by a large open space, Yager told Jiang Yan that it was the garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

Really, Jiang Yan swears, she has never seen such a dilapidated garden.

From a high point it is a large circle surrounded by a small circle.

In winter, the flowers do not bloom, and the flowers are all covered with snow, which is slightly desolate.

It was Yager who took Jiang Yan around, and after explaining, Jiang Yan tried hard to write down the general idea of the garden in her mind.

There is a large meadow from the castle lord's mansion, and if you enter the garden along the walkway, you can see the panoramic view of the garden.

"In the summer, colorful flowers bloom on the periphery, and there are vibrant sunflowers blooming on the middle flower bed, when people walk around the flowers along the arc-shaped aisle. ”

There was a happy look on Jager's face, "What a wonderful thing it is to be covered with the scent of flowers!"

Jiang Yan nodded in rare agreement.

The garden is not very large, and from the entrance to the exit, it is a circle around the flower beds.

It takes about 10 minutes to take a leisurely stroll, and it is very suitable for taking the little one out for a walk in summer.

The two of them had been walking around outside for nearly an hour, and Yager sneezed a few times before Jiang Yan remembered that the housekeeper next to him was still sick, "Let's go, that's all for today." ”

"Yes. Yager bowed gratefully to Jiang Yan.

The two returned the same way, walking and walking, Jiang Yan suddenly saw a few women with thick scarves wrapped in their heads squatting by the pool in the corner to wash things.

There was a slightly chubby woman who was particularly familiar.

Jiang Yan remembered it well, and quickly remembered that this woman was not the Linna she had seen during the execution of the previous city lord not long ago.

"I remember, they shouldn't be the maids of the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Jiang Yan glanced sideways at Yage, and the expression on Yage's face became a little subtle.

"Yes, Lord City Lord, they are not the maids of the City Lord's Mansion, but ......" Yager paused before speaking with difficulty, "but they were invited back by the maid to do housework." ”

Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows.

It was the first time she had heard that a maid had asked someone to come back to do the housework.

It's really a big world, Jiang Yan walked towards Linna and the others with her hands behind her back.

The ladies were squatting by the pool, with a large basin of clothes in front of them, Linna looked up and saw Jiang Yan's appearance, she was startled, she stammered and pointed at Jiang Yan and shouted, "Demon...... Magician!"

The five women beside her stopped their movements one after another, and looked at Jiang Yan in surprise, they didn't expect this magician to be so young.

"Bold!Who would have allowed you to point so rudely at the city lord!" Yager stood up from behind Jiang Yan, and scolded her head and face, so frightened that Lina hurriedly withdrew her hand and shrunk into a quail shape.

She was a little fat, shrunk into a quail, still such a big piece, Jiang Yan was almost laughed to death by her movements, "Yage, stand down." ”

Jager reluctantly stepped aside, still staring at the six women with disdain, his face full of disgust.

"The maid asked you to come back and do something?" Jiang Yan asked Linna.

When Lina heard this, she immediately nodded, and without Jiang Yan asking in detail, she immediately told all the transactions that the maid had made with her in private, "Lord Huicheng! It's Ivy, Lord Ivy gives each of us a silver coin every month, so that we can come to the castle every day to clean and wash our utensils and clothes." ”

She was a little embarrassed to shrink her fat hand that was frozen purple into her apron, and looked at Jiang Yan cautiously, for fear that if Jiang Yan gave an order, they would lose this job to get money.

"How long have you been doing this?" Jiang Yan asked after a moment of silence.

Lina and the others looked at each other, and replied a little embarrassedly, "Every winter, we come, and in other seasons, Lord Ivy only comes to us once every three months." ”

"How much salary does the City Lord's Mansion pay to the maid every month?" Jiang Yan asked Yage behind him.

The expression on Yager's face was even more subtle, and she turned her head sideways and said in Jiang Yan's ear: "The City Lord's Mansion does not pay salaries, and those slaves are all bought back from slave traders. ”

"Except for the Order, which is free and required to pay a monthly salary, the current inhabitants of the city are your vassals, and they bear the mark of slavery on their bodies, and they will be sentenced to death if they leave the city of Alicante without your consent. ”

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, she looked at Linna and the others, and found that these women had more or less flattering smiles on their faces, humble and reverent.

No wonder the conditions in which they live have become so bad, but these people still want to stay in Alicante City, and there is still this reason in it.

"Lord City, we! we are all good citizens!" Linna, as the only one among the women who had a relationship with Jiang Yan, had to speak to Jiang Yan under the instigation of other eyes.

Jiang Yan smiled, she squatted beside Linna, patted her shoulder and said, "The clothes are well washed." ”

"But it will be cleaner if you wash it with hot water, and I'll ask the maid to boil some hot water for you." Jiang Yan's gentle smile made Linna a little flattered.

"No, no, no, we're used to it. As soon as Lina heard that she was going to let the maids boil water, her head shook quickly, and several women shook their heads quickly, and quickly put the clothes in their hands into the pool, picked them up and put some soap corners, and rubbed them directly, proving that cold water can work!

Their hands were purple and swollen from the cold, but with a smile on their faces, Jiang Yan sighed.

She's not the kind of person who desperately squeezes the city's citizens.

But Jiang Yan also knew that she couldn't change the minds of this group of people in three or two sentences, they were used to living this kind of life, and if there was a sudden change, it would make them panic.

Jiang Yan didn't say anything more, but when she took Yager away, she told her, "Starting tomorrow, let them vacate a place in the kitchen and boil hot water to wash clothes." ”

"This ...... Wouldn't it be too much of a luxury for them?" Jager was a little worried. "Lord of the city, they are just slaves. ”

It's just a slave, although I have long known that in this world, everyone is not a slave's life, but Jiang Yan thought of Linna's flattering smile, she really couldn't treat this group of living people as slaves and livestock.

Jiang Yan's footsteps paused slightly. "Jager, the quality of a city, passers-by can often tell a thing or two from the slaves. ”

If she wants to change the city, she starts by making life better for the slaves.

Jager was a little surprised, and now she was more sure of what she was thinking.

Only the children of the aristocracy would have compassion for these slaves.

It's been a long time since she came out, Jiang Yan remembered the little guy, and walked fast, but after walking for a while, there was a cold wind that swept the laughter of several girls and desperately drilled into Jiang Yan's ears.

"Ivy snuck into the knight's chamber yesterday, it's really inappropriate. ”

"That is, as soon as the city lord died, he immediately picked up another man, and also took a bite of a god of light, the belief of a person like her, the god of light is estimated to retreat when he sees it. ”

"The city lord has so many mistresses, and Ivy is still bouncing, she can't stand the suffering of the maid. ”

......

Wow, it's so exciting, Jiang Yan is once again grateful for her extraordinary hearing.

Because it took her a while to finally look up and see the maids standing together chatting on the second floor, Yager was a little strange, "Lord City, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's go. Jiang Yan chuckled softly.

This housekeeper Yager has hidden a lot of things that he didn't say.

The dilapidated Alicante City, a small city lord's mansion has so many broken things, it's so interesting, it suddenly made Jiang Yan find the momentum she had when she first entered the workplace!
