Chapter 405: The Girl of Tandras (22)
In July, I was so tired that I was busy from morning to night every day, and I didn't even want to move my fingers after finishing my work.
The reason why July works so much is not because of the abuse of servants in Duke Hatton's palace, nor is it because the old man bullies the newcomer, so he makes July do so much work. It's because July is now doing the work of two people alone, so there will be such a scene every day in the Duke of Hatton's palace, Mike is sitting there and almost bored to death, and July is so busy that he has to squeeze out time to eat. It's not that July loves to work, but because she has to.
In the distance, the housekeeper saw July's small figure carrying a big flower pot downstairs, and Mike was behind her to help, but was repeatedly rejected by July.
The pot is so big, and it is a small tree with green leaves, and it is like an ant moving in July, and the pot is much taller than in July.
The housekeeper frowned, and saw that July in the distance had already placed the flower pot in the place, so he greeted July, "July, Mike, you two come here." ”
Because Aunt Ennie didn't know what the names of her two nieces were, and it wasn't written in the letter, July directly said their real names. Although this is a bit risky, July still took the risk of doing it, because people have a subconscious reflex when they hear their names, and July can still pretend, but it won't take long for Mike's kind of fool to be suspected, and if he calls Mike many times, he doesn't respond. That's so suspicious that it must be reminiscent of a fake name.
Although many people know that the prince of the neighboring country is also called Mike, but fortunately because Mike is too idiot. So the king protects Mike very well, and no images have come out so far, and no one has seen Mike's appearance at all. Of course, the reason why the secrecy can be done so well is not only because of the king's protection, but most importantly, no one will pay attention to a mentally handicapped prince, Mike is not a threat at all in their opinion, and there is no need to bother to check his information. The housekeeper is a smart man. But no matter how smart he was, he would never have thought that Mike in front of him and the prince of the neighboring country were the same person, as long as a person with a normal mind would not think that a prince who had not yet died would run away to someone else's house to be a servant.
The housekeeper was an old man in his fifties, and he was very kind-looking. His voice was not loud, and it was gentle, but his voice was just right for July to hear, but not noisy. I have to say. Even being a servant is a science. At least July doesn't know how he did it.
When July heard this, he hurriedly pulled Mike and walked over quickly, in the nobleman's house, unless it was an emergency, he was not allowed to run, otherwise he would lose his manners and let others laugh at the master's lack of rules.
July wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then showed a sweet smile like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
"Good housekeeper. July said crisply.
Mike also greets July, but this time the butler doesn't show his liking for Mike as before.
The butler nodded first and let out an "um" sound. Then he said solemnly, "I've been observing you two brothers and sisters for the past few days, but I seem to have found a little problem. Although the work given to both of you personally you are done. But these are all done by July alone, and Mike doesn't have a job at all, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have said anything when the work is completed, but Mike, your appearance disappointed me," the butler said and shook his head at Mike, then sighed and continued, "There are rules in our house, and if someone is so lazy, it will disgrace the servants of the entire house." ”
Mike, who was reprimanded by the housekeeper, said that he was very innocent, he really wanted to work, but July said that he didn't agree to anything, and he now looked at the cold faces of everyone in the entire Duke's Palace, as if he really bullied July.
"I wanted to do something, but she didn't agree!" Mike retorted aggrievedly, pointing his finger at July, indicating that he was innocent.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and after a deep groan, he had a guess in his heart, and saw that Mike's expression did not seem to be fake, so he shifted the spearhead, looked at July, frowned, and said seriously, "If this is the case, then this matter is your fault." The housekeeper said in a tone that taught the juniors, "I know that you may be because your parents are gone, and you only have one brother who depends on each other, so you feel very sorry for your brother, so you take all the work on yourself, thinking that it is for his good." But have you ever thought about how long you can take care of him when he is already an adult? If he goes on like this, he will really be raised by you? You are not helping him, you are harming him. ”
July grinded her teeth, she felt so depressed, didn't she just want Mike to work for the sake of his good?
July opened her mouth, but finally closed her mouth after encountering the butler's "don't be unreasonable" expression, if she insisted on not letting Mike work, I'm afraid it would be too suspicious! July didn't want to attract other people's attention now, because it would make her move a lot inconvenient, and it would expose their goals. It's just that Mike is a god of decay, and if he lets it out, I'm afraid he will cause trouble!
Seeing July's expression, the housekeeper mistakenly thought that July was unwilling to accept his criticism, so he was a little displeased, and said in a stern voice, "If you insist on this, then I can only fire Mike, otherwise it will have a great impact on the reputation of our house, and it will make me very ashamed to manage the servants well." ”
July lowered his head, this is what you want to do, if you really encounter bad luck, then don't blame me. When July looked up again, there were already hazy tears in his eyes, and he said sadly, "I'm very sorry Mr. Housekeeper, because I'm so sorry that I got into trouble for you because I insisted on going my own way." I think you're right, it's true that I attach so much importance to my brother because my parents are dead, but if it is really bad for my brother to continue like this, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, and I will never do this again. ”
The housekeeper was very satisfied with July's "knowing that mistakes can be corrected", the anger on his face disappeared and he nodded with a loving smile, and then praised July a few words, and then instructed Mike, "The kitchen has been very busy for a few days, you can go over and help Aunt Sophie later!"
Mike's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, in his opinion, the most uncomfortable thing in the world is that I have nothing to do, and working is actually a fun thing for him.
Mike was just about to follow the housekeeper along the way when he was pulled by July, and the housekeeper looked back and saw this situation, only thinking that the little girl was reluctant to let her brother say a few words, so he didn't wait for Mike, smiled and shook his head and left.
"You can be honest with me, do you know? If we get into trouble again, we will both be kicked out together, and the consequences will be unimaginable! If you get into trouble again this time, you will wait for me to beat you to death!" July lowered his voice and threatened Mike viciously. (To be continued.) )
