Chapter 0304: Return to River Fort (Second Update)

The castle has ten more maids and ten more men.

Eight maids are in charge of cleaning the castle's perimeter, Omila, Lucy, Lopa, Rose, Winna, Gremi, Monica, Bellucci, and two kitchen maids, Jessica and Anna - it is worth mentioning that Erin Fourfinger has been promoted, albeit still working in the kitchen.

She had worked for the castle for a year and should have been promoted to the rank of official maid.

But she loves the kitchen and is willing to stay in the kitchen.

So she became a full-fledged maid in the kitchen, and her salary rose from one copper plate per day to two copper plates per day. and Mrs. Aby's three cook's assistants, the same salary.

Of the ten male servants, five are male servant assistants, Isido, Morris, Harris, Sam, and Alger, and all the rough and heavy work of the castle is entrusted to them.

The remaining five were given to the groom One-Eyed Barton, who trained them to raise horses, dogs, forests, gardens, and cordyceps for the castle.

There were forty servants in all, and the castle could no longer be occupied.

Therefore, the new male and female servants were all arranged in a corner of the civilian quarters of the town, specially divided into the castle servants' quarters, separated by walls.

In addition, there are 40 girls and boys in internships at the castle.

When they grow up, and the castle with Liszt's name should be built, they will directly become qualified servants. Like the development of the town, the cultivation of servants is also an essential part of the cultivation of the nobility.

Seeing the satisfied smile on little Lily's face.

Liszt was equally satisfied.

These people are living around him, and being able to bring stability and happiness to the people around him is naturally a very fulfilling thing.

"Little Lily, go and inform Carter's butler and ask him to lead the manservant to move the piano to the bughouse. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Little Lily walked briskly downstairs, leaving behind a graceful back, for Liszt to watch disappear around the corner of the staircase. He chuckled softly: "The beautiful body of youth, I wonder if she will choose to stay in the castle like Mrs. Mawson and never marry, or at some point, decide to marry and have children?"

Male and female servants, although they are servants of the castle, can also marry.

It's just that many maids don't want to choose to get married, marriage means having children, having children means losing their jobs, and then they want to go back to the castle to work, it's very difficult. The manservant doesn't care, the salary is enough to support his wife and children, and with his connections, he can send his children to work in the castle.

Lords usually trusted the descendants of the castle elders more.

There are also many male servants who are not married, and Carter's butler has never been married. Liszt sometimes had a hard time understanding what it was like for them to dedicate their lives to noble lords.

So far, according to the information reported by Carter's butler, no male or female servant has developed an affair in the castle.

After Liszt discussed with Carter's butler, the castle rules and regulations did not prohibit the male and female servants from falling in love, but they were not allowed to delay their work because of falling in love, let alone prostitution in the castle.

Soon.

Carter, the housekeeper, led the manservant to move the upright piano into the worm room.

In fact, the most suitable room for the piano is the recreation room, which can be used as a practice room after modification. But Liszt didn't want a separate practice room, and a piano room without a grand piano would look shabby.

He put the piano in the worm room.

It is very lonely to play the piano without an audience, and there are not only many elf insects in the worm room, but also the thorny elf Zyra, and the kraken Ake, who can really understand the music.

The Krakens are more commonly known as the Singing Demons because of their beautiful singing voices.

In the lazy afternoon, Acker gently hummed a ballad of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire in Liszt's ear, and the beautiful nightingale-like song made Liszt linger, as if he had entered the world depicted in the song, half-asleep and half-awake without knowing where he was.

"Brother, is this the piano?" the Kraken hovered in front of the piano, her ankles connected to the sea, which lifted her in mid-air.

A few wisps of water block the gaze of peeking into the mysterious area, which makes people even more reverie, wanting to find out.

He paused before turning his gaze to the piano: "This is an upright piano, if you want to learn, I can teach you how to play the piano." ”

"Uh-huh, Ake wants to learn. She hurriedly nodded, but suddenly hesitated again, "It's better not to learn it first, Ark still has to study magic, there is a lot of magic waiting to be studied, I hope Ark can become a great magician one day sooner." ”

Ake has his own thoughts.

Liszt was not about to force it.

He just practiced the piano on the sidelines, constantly playing "To Alice" and "With You", and regained the playing technique left over from his predecessor as soon as possible.

Maybe it's because of his outstanding talent, just like he cultivates the Dou Qi cheats very quickly, and his proficiency in playing the piano is also very fast.

The memory of the fingers, called out by the music.

At some point, Ake's singing voice had sounded softly, as if accompanied by the sound of the piano.

"Look, how beautiful this ocean is, how exciting! Look, how intoxicating is this natural landscape!"

"Look, the orchard beside this hillside, full of lipstick-like raspberries, smelling everywhere, full of warmth. ”

"But you say 'goodbye' to me, and you abandon your lover forever, and leave your hometown forever, and you can't bear to come back?

"Return to River Fort, come back!"

This is a popular folk song of the King of Steel Ridge, which tells the story of a territory called Fort River, where the workers in the local raspberry fields want their lovers who are far away from home to return to Fort River.

The author is no longer known by whom.

Some say it was the workers of the raspberry farm, whose husband went to war and sang longingly, some said it was a bard who abandoned the broken girl and wrote the psalm, and some said that it was the lord of the river castle whose wife ran away with the others and composed the song "Return to the River Castle" in great pain.

The Grand Duchy of Sapphire is a vassal of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and basically whatever is popular in the Iron Ridge Kingdom, it will eventually become popular here.

"Return to the River Castle" is not unexpected.

In the midst of Acker's singing, Liszt gradually felt that his own piano was no longer able to accompany her. The Siren's singing should belong to the sea, not to a small room, an amateur pianist, accompanied by an upright piano. But Liszt was still struggling to make ends meet.

Even in the oppression of the Kraken's singing, there was a clear epiphany growth in playing technique.

Vent your emotions into the piano performance, the ten fingers are connected to the ears, and the body and rhythm fluctuate.

While!

Dangdang!

The last note rang, and Ake's singing stopped.

The mood is hearty, and the playing technique soars, as if he has become a master.

He couldn't help but pull up Ake's slender fingers and kiss the back of her white and pink hand, enthusiastic and graceful: "It's a wonderful cooperation, Ake." ”

Ake's face was red, his eyes seemed to be made of water, and he whispered a response from his nose: "Hmm." ”
