Chapter 37: Visiting (1)
Ji Xin only remembered the next day that it was best to make an appointment when visiting, so he hurriedly called the housekeeper Kuqi. Fortunately, George treated Ji Xin as his own child, and when he heard that Ji Xin was going to bring a girl to be a guest, he was so happy that he could stay for a few more days and prepare to hold a party, and several descendants and friends of the family also happened to know each other.
At this time, Ji Xin breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't release other pigeons for the first time. However, since you have made up your mind to stay longer, you have to explain what is going on in the ranch. So, Ji Xin began to dial his supervisor Thomas again, "Hey, To, things have changed, I may have to leave for a longer time, so the ranch will be handed over to you for the time being." And if someone from the Ministry of Agriculture is going to evaluate the grass, you just have to do what has been agreed. ”
Ji Xin didn't have anything to worry about, speaking of which American civil servants are really not bullish. In a situation like this, when you go to Ji Xin's house to perform official duties, you can't have too much personal contact with the owner, let alone accept red envelopes and eat big meals, and there is a limit on what people can spend every day. What's more, once a report is made, the Internal Investigation Department will intervene, and both the bribe-giver and the bribe-taker will be discredited. Don't you see that even Xiao Aohei's wife and children go out on vacation, as long as the accommodation standard is slightly exceeded, those reporters will jump up and down like chickens, and there will be a foreigner holding a protest flag at the door of the White House?
At nine o'clock, Lisa finally came out after a long call under Ji Xin's urging, but Ji Xin rubbed his eyes at this time, a little incredulous. Is this still the hot and enthusiastic Lisa in my impression? The woman in front of her is like a bullied little daughter-in-law, with small steps, clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate.
"Perfect, Lisa, you are so beautiful today" Ji Xin didn't expect this woman to really give people a feeling of clear water out of hibiscus, a pure white loose top, a light chiffon skirt, and a playful little straw hat embellished with pearls are even more amazing.
"Thank you" Lisa lifted the hem of her skirt and made a salute gesture, and the aristocratic lady showed her momentum. Accepting praise generously, it is obvious that the girl is also excited for the man's recognition and appreciation.
Ready, the two of them who have slept well and are in a good mood set out on the journey. Because Ji Xin got his driver's license not long ago, this time it was a big city with busy vehicles in the city, so he decided to drive in Lisa, and Ji Xin cooperated with GPS to guide the way throughout the process, and was responsible for funny work along the way, which was not boring.
A man and a woman seem to have reached a tacit understanding and are silent about what happened yesterday, but both of them know that the relationship between the two sides is one step closer on the basis of friends, but neither of them is an 18-year-old child, and they still engage in passion and romance. Lisa has been a little timid in this regard since she was hurt by love, and she usually uses pungent to cover herself; And Ji Xin, under the influence of traditional thoughts, is even more clear, all falling in love without the purpose of marriage is playing **.
"I hate it, you're ugly when you laugh" Lisa, who had changed her appearance, couldn't stand the male companions who kept smirking around her, and the feng shui took turns, especially Ji Xin, who was in a hurry, was even more proud.
"That Lisa, Nancy told me the visiting host was going to throw a welcome party for the two of us, would you like to go?" After Ji Xin finished speaking, he looked at Lisa with a little expectation, now he is unwilling to part with Lisa for a moment, and the IQ of men and women who fall into hazy love is zero, especially Ji Xin's possible unrequited love.
"Well, what does Nancy do? How old is that guy? ”
Lisa, who was still a little shy, suddenly frowned, and decisively ignored the point and paid attention to the details. Although I seem to have heard of the name Nancy before, I don't know the specific situation, and that Nancy invited Ji Xin to go, could it be that he had some thoughts?
No matter how generous a woman is, she doesn't like her man to accept an invitation from another woman, so Lisa asks several questions one after another.
"What do you want? Lisa, Nancy is a master's degree from a prestigious university, a social elite, I met him once, not what you think......" Ji Xin saw Lisa's appearance, she was angry and funny, and she could only introduce her to Nancy's origin.
According to the information he gathered at the time, Nancy should be the trusted butler that the Wilson family has cultivated for the next generation of heirs, similar to Couch to George, who can leave almost everything to them with confidence. Because of this, Kuqi's daughter's identity will be more trusted, and she is also assigned to help Ji Xin, but unfortunately people don't look down on Ji Xin.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid she called you for another purpose" Lisa was well-informed, and quickly came back from the vinegar jar, "Think about it, according to what you said, since people don't like to see you, why did they call you to inform you?"
"You mean she lied, but it doesn't make sense?" Ji Xin, who was sluggish in this regard, had not yet figured out what Lisa wanted to express.
"God, how come you have such a rich imagination" Lisa patted her head, the man she fancied was too off-line, "I mean, it's likely that something bad will happen at the banquet, and as your scheduled butler, she has to remind you to be prepared or did Mr. George tell her to do it?" ”
Looking at the man's gradually solemn face, Lisa's red lips opened slightly, "Don't forget, it seems that George still has a lot of juniors, they may not be convinced!" ”
"So what, I don't have any extra thoughts, we'll leave when I'm done, no matter what bad ideas they have" Ji Xin felt that as long as he kept his heart, let him wind in the northwest.
Lisa, who "also doesn't know much about the truth," agrees
……
The second time he came to George's manor, Ji Xin received much higher treatment than the last time, the car bypassed the fountain, stopped in front of the door, and the uniformly dressed servants stood in a line, one of them was in his forties, and the housekeeper in a decent tuxedo stood facing the car door, the car stopped, he stepped forward and pulled the car door, and asked Ji Xin to get out of the car, and Lisa was treated the same way.
The butler in the tuxedo has an expressionless face, standard and elegant movements, and an authentic Oxford accent, commanding skillfully and methodically, not to mention a possible aristocratic background like George, even if he is an ordinary rich man, he will be cultivated with the illusion of "three generations of nobles".
Without waiting for Ji Xin to say some polite words, Nancy, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped out of the door, grabbed Ji Xin's arm and wanted to enter the small room where the porter lived.
"What do you want to do in broad daylight, girl?" Of course, Ji Xin, who has strength like an ox, will not be pulled, mainly because his future daughter-in-law is next to him, so he walks with another woman regardless of it, and his head is not kicked by a donkey?
"I don't know what to do, and I am amorous" obviously found that Nancy, who was worried about the man, was not entertained, and sent a certain man with an improper mind eight words. took the initiative to come to Lisa's side again, and the two muttered quietly for a while, and then, uh, and then Lisa took Ji Xin to follow up with the little black house, but her little hand gently made three circles left and three circles on the right on the tender meat.
Nancy looked left and right, and motioned to the servant guarding the door to close the door, so that she had time to talk about business, "Okay, time is urgent, what should you do when you show affection and wait for you to get home, no one cares if you put it on the Internet?" ”
Ji Xin heard the sound outside the strings and knew that Lisa's prediction was not far from ten, so he was ready to clear himself up first, "Nancy, I'm here this time for ......"
But apparently Nancy didn't think so, and she was already full of anger that she was assigned to such a shallow-based master, and of course she was even more unwilling to listen carefully, "Lady first, so there is something to wait for me to finish talking first, thank you." ”
Taking over the topic strongly, Nancy began to explain, "Mr. George has no direct heir, and his only daughter is also a bachelor, so the huge family property was originally to be inherited by the family's three nephews and nieces, but Mr. was seriously ill at this time last year, and those people almost went to court in order to fight for the inheritance, and there were countless filthy things in private, which simply threw the reputation of the Wilson family to Grandma's house."
Very satisfied with the quiet surroundings, Nancy continued to tell the story behind the big family to the only audience, "Fortunately, after drinking the medicine and wine you gave during this time, George's condition was actually contained, so that the original heart was poured cold, and they heard that Ji Xin You are very popular with the family, so they invited a lot of friends through this time, and many people are not good."
"It's nothing more than wanting me to lose face and lose points in front of George" Ji Xin, who wants to understand the cause and effect, doesn't care about these at all at the moment, what the buddy advocates is the style of "I leave gently, don't take a cloud with me", and the interests are weak.
"But it's confusing that you care so much about me? Don't you just want to be a housekeeper? Ji Xin felt that he had not yet reached the level of domineering side leakage, and Lao Mei would bow his head. Especially this tsundere girl who was actually refuted by herself and couldn't help but be angry?
"You person" Lisa felt Nancy's kindness, and looked at the wronged other party, so she stood in the woman's position and began to crusade, "You are curious because you are lonely and unheard, if you know the specific identity and status of the housekeeper in a really big aristocratic family, you don't have to think about it"
Lisa knew that this person was just an ordinary person before she went abroad, and she was blind to these doorways, and she was patient with popular science
"The origin of the butler lies in France, but the old-school English court pays more attention to etiquette, details and vanity, and the professional concept and scope of responsibilities of the butler are strictly regulated in accordance with the court etiquette, which has become the industry standard, and the English butler has also become a classic of housekeeping service. Therefore, at the beginning of the world-famous English butler, only hereditary nobles and famous families with titles could enjoy it, for no other reason, from the noble blood of the court.
A starched snow-white shirt, a black or white waistcoat, a black bow tie, a black tuxedo, crisp black trousers, shiny black leather shoes, and by the way, a slick hair and an eternally straight body are the standard attire of an English butler. In addition to the earliest housekeepers who followed the fashion and wore wigs, in the past six or seven hundred years, such an image has become a model of housekeepers and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Of course, there will also be a housekeeper in the mansion. However, at that time, the work of a maid was only in the dark range of cooking and washing, so even a housekeeper who was in charge of all the maids and managed the household affairs up and down would not be given much attention to her.
In fact, the official title of a steward should be that of chief servant. Seeing that Ji Xin listened carefully, Nancy couldn't help but introduce in more detail.
