Hervin came to the door of the Marquis Taylor's mansion.

The manservant inside the door looked Hewen's clothes up and down, and the clothes he wore didn't look like hillbillies or paupers could afford.

The manservant walked up to the metal gate and asked through the fence:

"Sir, who are you?"

Hervin says:

"Miss Nelly invited me here. ”

The manservant nodded slightly:

"Sir, you have not given me any notice, so please wait a little while I can inform Miss Nelly right now. ”

Herwin smiled and nodded.

The manservant turned and left.

But the direction he was walking wasn't to Nelly's bedroom.

The manservant remembered the hostess's advice and went to inform Herwin as soon as he heard her name.

He walked around the garden and Nelly's room to a dark red wooden door in front of it, and lightly clasped it with his fingers.

Rebecca opened the door.

The manservant respectfully reported:

"Mr. Herwin has arrived. ”

Rebecca nodded appreciatively:

"Remember, don't let Nelly know about it, take him to the side"

Mrs. Lester walked out of the room in a rich gauze dress.

The manservant returned to the door the same way.

He opened the door for Hervin:

"Please come with me. ”

Herwin followed behind him, observing that the young man seemed slightly nervous.

And he's not on the same path as the one he just followed.

Hewen asked casually:

"You just met Lady Rebecca?"

The manservant's footsteps paused, but they returned to their original state in an instant, and if it was an ordinary person, he would not even be able to detect his strangeness:

"Yes, I went to inform Lady Rebecca that Miss Nelly is not at the mansion today. ”

Herwin nodded.

But he made sure that Nelie was here.

Hewen continued to ask casually:

"Is the work hard?"

The manservant was a little overwhelmed:

"It's okay, it's fine. ”

Hewen continued to talk to him:

"Wouldn't it be a different feeling to be a servant in the Marquis's mansion, after all, I also hired a lot of servants a long time ago, and I'm a little curious if a character like the Marquis will treat servants differently from others?"

The valet also relaxed a lot, although it is rare for a guest to take the initiative to talk to him, but as a servant, whether he is interested in the guest's topic or not, he is obliged to continue talking.

And Hewen didn't feel that ...... to him

Arrogant?

Aside from the fact that he was dressed in expensive clothes and had a gentle voice, Heven's attitude towards him was no different from that of other servants.

The manservant pondered Hewen's question seriously:

"Is there a difference? Actually, there is still a difference, if the servants of other small nobles and rich merchants only need to be obedient, know how to serve their masters, and be clever, the servants of the big nobles are still very demanding, and we still have to learn a lot before we work.

"And the contracts signed are different. They signed a ten-year, five-year contract at most, but once we signed it, it was basically a lifetime, and of course, our treatment was much better than theirs, fifteen pounds a month, food and shelter, and security when I was old, and I was much happier than many people who lived in the East End of Wharton. ”

Hewen was curious:

"I've hired servants before, but your wages aren't much. ”

Herwin wasn't telling the truth, he had never hired such a cheap servant.

The young man smiled gently:

"You don't know, Mr. Herwen, in fact, the nobles pay more than we get, but most of the money doesn't reach us, I was born in the East End of Wharton, and my mother ran away with someone else very early. ”

The valet paused, then continued:

"My father was a very responsible man, he brought me up, he didn't make much money a month to work in the factory, but he was able to support the two of us, and from time to time he could take me to eat something delicious, I still remember a small piece of cake that my father bought me, it was my best birthday present, and the sweet smell still lingers on the tip of my nose.

"But the world is always full of accidents, Mr. Herwen, you are born well, you may not understand, but for small people like us, many seemingly trivial accidents are enough to destroy our lives.

"The accident happened, my father was injured at work, and the factory only paid fifty pounds in compensation, and he threw him out.

"Although the family had a lot of savings at that time, my father was the only breadwinner of the family, and as soon as he fell, no one could make any money, and my father's injuries became more and more serious, and we were almost out of money to find a doctor.

"At this time, the people from Dickinson's agency showed up, and they gave me hope. ”

The manservant smiled faintly:

"Sir, you may also find that although I am not as temperamental as you, I am still a little handsome compared to ordinary people. ”

Hewen looked at the manservant, his facial features were good, and his eyes still had a slight melancholy aura.

The manservant continued earnestly:

"Since I was a child, I have been especially liked by girls of the same age, and many big sisters like to play with me, and this just meets one of the criteria selected by the agency, having a good face.

"And I met their other conditions, I learned things quickly, and then they signed a contract with me, and I finally got qualified through my good face and almost hard work.

"Qualifications to be a qualified servant. ”

When the manservant said this, there was a grateful expression on his face:

"Dickinson's agency changed my life when they sold me for a good price, a thirty-year employment contract of £15 a month. The total price is equivalent to £4,800.

In addition to the total salary of 4,800, the employer was required to pay the Dickinson agency an annual Anglas pound equal to the servant's salary, and a lump sum of £1,200 for the agent's fee.

"Four hundred pounds of which belong to me. ”

The manservant smiled happily:

"Sir, I still think about it now that I feel incredible, just because I am good-looking, I can get a huge sum of four hundred pounds at once, and I can also receive a salary of fifteen pounds a month!"

Hewen nodded:

"It's incredible. ”

The manservant put away his smile and said seriously:

"Every day before I go to sleep, I silently thank the staff of the agency who came to our house that day, and Mr. Dickinson himself, who founded the agency Dickinson, who gave us the gloomy hope of life and pulled me and my father out of the sludge. ”

Finally, the two came to a small four-story villa.

The manservant said to Hervin:

"Lady Rebecca is waiting for you in the inner hall, and she told me to bring you here. ”

Herwin smiled and nodded, then walked towards the villa without hesitation.

The valet hesitated, trying to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything.

There is a faint smell of guilt.
