"Haha, let's wait for you to officially take office, there will be time in the future."

As for Miss Philip's idea of wanting to touch his own bottom, John could only give a hypocritical smile, and while looking up to the sky, he secretly slandered his grandfather's arrangement.

In order to cultivate John, old Huntelaar really spared no effort.

It is normal for a wealthy family to hire a tutor, and two is already considered a luxury, but it is extremely rare for a wealthy New York City to hire four in one go, each of whom is responsible for teaching John a different field. This also made John more certain of one thing, that is, the old Huntelaar definitely earns more than four or five thousand dollars a year!

However, for such attention, John's psychology is really a little unbearable.

One of the four tutors teaches science, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., at most the level of junior high school students in his previous life, for which John said that there is no pressure, and he can mix for years with his eyes closed; The second is to teach literature, mainly English literature, although there are some difficulties in this aspect, but with the foundation laid by his mother Elizabeth, John is not very afraid.

But what the other two teachers taught, it was a bit of a headache for him.

One teaches theology, including philosophical ideas and other traditional content, and the other teaches art, all about painting, music, sculpture and so on, how does this make a science student in the 21st century mix?

As if seeing John's change in mood, Miss Philip once again showed that strange smile on her face, nodded and said, "Hehe, it's okay, then let's wait until the official start begins." ”

Miss Philip did not pursue any further questions. Although she has her own pride and persistence, she is not ignorant of human feelings, and knows that if she continues, she will probably annoy this little guy who doesn't seem to be easy to deal with. There were not many employers as generous as old Mr. Huntelaar, and Miss Philip did not want to be unemployed on the first day.

Both of them had concerns, and the scene fell silent.

Hans, the butler, played the role of lubricating oil at this time, and chatted about some topics casually, so that the scene would not be so dull.

Soon, old Huntelaar returned.

When he saw Miss Philip, old Huntlaar looked very happy, and hurriedly ordered the cook to prepare it, and invited Miss Philip to have dinner with him.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Although she is only a governess, Miss Philip's expression at the table is perfect, whether it is dining etiquette or personal language conversation, John feels even more elegant than old Huntelaar.

And old Huntelaar's appearance today is also a little strange, under normal circumstances, he usually does not be so enthusiastic about others, but for this Miss Philip is an exception, not only is there a lot more talk than usual, but during the banquet, he frequently toasts and invites each other to drink, which makes John always feel a little strange, and the more interested he is in Miss Philip's identity.

While chatting, old Huntelaar suddenly opened his mouth and laughed: "Miss Philip, I just suddenly had an idea, can you teach John to learn French in addition to art?" ”

"Learn French?"

Miss Philip was slightly stunned when she heard this.

"Ahem! Ahem! ……”

Just when Miss Philip was wondering, John coughed violently on the side. He was drinking water when old Huntelaar was talking just now, and accidentally choked himself. But now he didn't care about his grandfather's reproachful gaze, his face darkened, and his gaze at old Huntelaar was full of resentment.

Still want to learn French?

Are you kidding me?

As a "linguistic genius" fluent in Chinese, English, German and Latin, John Huntelaar knows one thing very well, and that is how hard it takes to fully master an unfamiliar language!

In this life, John has had enough of learning languages.

He doesn't need to learn Chinese, it must be much more standard than most Chinese people in this era, and English is relatively easy, after all, he has studied for so many years in his previous life, and he has put a lot of effort into being able to read foreign medical literature. But German and Latin are completely unfamiliar territory.

The Huntelaar family is of German descent, and German must be mastered, while Latin is now the mainstream of the upper class of European and American society, and it is known as the language of communication with God, so naturally it cannot be abandoned. Therefore, under the strong pressure of his mother Elizabeth, John did almost nothing else in the first ten years of his life, and spent all his time on it.

"Now I still have to learn French, is this going to train me to be a universal translator?"

With a black face, John complained frantically in his heart.

Old Huntelaar of course didn't bother Sun's feelings, he glared at John, then turned his head and said softly: "Of course, if you are willing to teach John French, I will increase the salary agreed before by 5o%...... Well, how about $12 a week? ”

"Twelve dollars a week?!"

Hearing this number, Miss Philip, who had always been very calm, finally showed a look of surprise on her face.

She was introduced to old Huntelaar by someone else, and she was willing to come here because he was very generous, and gave him a weekly salary of eight dollars a week, and she only had to live here five days a week, and she didn't have to do anything other than educate John. For a female governess, this condition is definitely an easy job with a high salary. You must know that the status of women in this era is very low, and the female governess is often just a servant of a slightly higher status, and Miss Philip is already quite satisfied with this treatment.

But I didn't expect that when I met today, the other party suddenly rose by 5o%!

"Are you sure?"

Miss Philip asked with a slight narrowing of her eyes.

"I'm sure."

Old Huntelaar smiled faintly and said softly, "Since you are asked to give more, you should be paid more. And I suppose Miss Philip would give me the worth of my four dollars, wouldn't she? ”

Miss Philip frowned in thought.

Teaching John French seems to be an extra job, but if you think about it, it's still five days, and it doesn't increase the working hours, but the content has just changed, and there is no loss for her, but it has increased her income by half out of thin air!

"No problem, I'll teach him French seriously."

Miss Philip made a decision very quickly.

"So it looks like we're on the same page?"

Raising the wine glass in his hand, old Huntelaar asked happily.

"Of course."

Miss Philip also raised her glass. Although her expression was calm, the happy color between her eyebrows and eyes was clearly displayed in front of the others.

"Good!"

Old Huntelaar nodded with satisfaction, and after greeting each other with Miss Philip, he took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Then you will start going to work next Monday, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem!"

Putting down the wine glass in her hand, Miss Philip replied very simply.

An agreement was reached, both sides were very satisfied, and the only unhappy John was also ignored by them. After a little more talking, old Huntelaar saw that it was not too early, and sent Henry to send Miss Philip back.

"Sir, this Miss Philip is not an ordinary person, is she?"

Standing at the door, watching the carriage go away, John asked with some curiosity. Although he was about to be forced to learn another language, John quickly regained his normal state after a brief period of depression. Old Huntelaar is a stubborn old man, and he doesn't have the right to choose now, so it's better to go along with it.

"You see that?"

Glancing at John with some surprise, old Huntelaar nodded and said, "Well, your vision is good." However, I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard from the person who introduced her that Miss Philippe was supposed to be a descendant of a French nobleman, but for some reason she came to the United States a few years ago and began to work as a governess. ”

"French aristocrats?"

John was stunned when he heard this.

Nodding, old Huntelaar sighed lightly: "Yes, although I don't know what happened to her, but from a nobleman to a governess, it should be quite difficult for a woman, right?" But ......"

"But what?"

Subconsciously, John followed up and asked.

Old Huntelaar suddenly winked at him and chuckled softly, "But that's why we have the opportunity to hire such a good governess for you, aren't we?" ”

……

I feel that the pace is a little slow, how do you feel?
