It was already about eight o'clock in the evening when the dust settled, Yu Wuming sent Charlotte back to school, and he himself lived in the Earl's Court, everything was so natural, it seemed that this was his home, he had never been away for a long time, now he was just tired of playing, and went home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yu Wuming lives in the Earl's Court very low-key, except for the people in the palace, the outside world basically doesn't know, this is also because the people around have already gone to the street to carnival, for them to come, for five years, they are all experiencing oppression, some people choose to leave, but most people choose to stay, because this is an aristocratic territory without nobility, oppression and exploitation are still far less than elsewhere.

Yu Wuming went home accompanied by the servants of the big housekeeper, which was a very rude place, but fortunately, Yu Wuming himself was not educated by the nobility, and he didn't feel how rude it was.

As soon as the chief butler returned home, he immediately went to the family's confinement room by himself, and he was going to lose his footing for a month, and what was waiting for him at the gate of the Earl's Court was the third housekeeper of the family, and the middle door of the Earl's Palace, which had not been opened for fifty years, was open to welcome the return of his patriarch.

The lights in the official residence were bright, and the servants and servants of all sizes in the official residence were standing at the gate of the mansion under the leadership of the three butlers, waiting for Yu Wusheng's arrival.

"My most revered patriarch, Lord of Karlsruhe City, Lord of the province of Baden, as your humble servant, greetings Darwin Winster, the third steward of the family, and I welcome you home only on behalf of the whole family of three thousand one hundred and eighty-two, and the great butler Eloch Winster, and I ask you to bestow your name so that we, the members of our family, may spread your glory everywhere. Darwin, the third butler, walked up to Yu Wuming, bowed respectfully, and greeted Yu Wuming humbly.

"Von Henderson Petrovich. Yu Wuming was stunned for a moment, and before the third butler thought that he had not made it clear and was about to say it again, he reported his name to the third butler.

"Master Yu Wuming, I will have the honor to personally add your name to the family genealogy, please follow me, we will go to the ancestral hall of the family first, and worship the ancestors first. Darwin said to Yu Wusheng.

"Follow your advice and lead the way. Yu Wuming nodded and replied.

These red tapes on the surface, the servant of the big housekeeper had already told Yu Wuming on the way back, otherwise, Yu Wuming might choose to go to sleep first and come back tomorrow to do these formalistic things.

Then, Yu Wuming followed Darwin to the family ancestral hall in the last courtyard of the official residence, and under Darwin's guidance, he registered his name in the family genealogy, and then worshiped his ancestors again, and this entrance ceremony was completed.

During this period, Yu Wuming took a closer look at the buildings of the city, the place where the city lord's mansion works is more westernized, and the Earl's Palace, as a noble residence, is more Chinese, it seems that this is the handiwork of Louis I the Great.

After such a toss, it was almost midnight, Yu Wuming finally settled down under the arrangement of the third housekeeper, and finally could have dinner, he knew this, he would definitely follow the advice of the chief housekeeper's servant, and go to the street to have fun with the people first, even if he didn't have fun with the people, at least it wouldn't be like now, he had eaten since noon, and now twelve hours have passed, but he hasn't eaten at all.

At this time, the grand butler was sitting in the family confinement room, although it was midnight, he was not sleepy at all, and his thirty years as a housekeeper had already made him feel tired, especially in recent years, otherwise he would not have allowed Karn to climb to such a position.

Now that the head of the family is back, he can also take a rest, his shoulders can finally be relaxed, this time, his status as a housekeeper naturally does not need to be thought about, natural resignation is the best way to deal with it, he thinks very clearly, this is the responsibility he should bear, but why it has come to this point, but he has to think about it.

Just now, when he walked all the way back, he observed the pedestrians on the road through the carriage window, every street was carnivaling, discussing the trial that had just ended, everyone was excited, looking at everyone as if they were happy for a holiday, he finally realized how much mistake he had made before, although he was tired of it, but this was not a reason to let it go.

He had never seen the people so happy when he had come forward to settle all the accusations against Shabi and the distrust proposal against Karn, he had only seen the coldness in their eyes.

At that time, he felt that there was something wrong, but he only thought that he had done what he was supposed to do, and the people were cold to him only because they didn't care about urban construction.

Later, although he gradually reduced his support for Karn, Karn was already in the climate by then, and he no longer needed his support behind him, but he was still in control of most of the overall situation, but he still clearly felt the alienation of the people from him.

If it weren't for the fact that he usually used his savings from time to time to help the common people in the city and won some good reputation, maybe he would not have ushered in the cold eyes of the people now, but the eyes of disgust and hatred?

Yesterday, as soon as he returned home, he immediately called his brother, the third butler, Darwin Winster, and said to his brother: "Darwin, the rumors are true, the Earl has returned, he is now in the Brussel Academy, I think he will be back soon, especially after tomorrow's trial, you go and prepare, gather all the people in the family who can be gathered, and tomorrow you will welcome the Lord home on my behalf." ”

"What about you, big brother?" Darwin was extremely surprised, the return of the lord was a festive event, and he should have been greeted by the highest steward of the palace, but now he came forward himself, what does this mean? Could it be that the eldest brother is ready to retire? Yes, if the eldest brother retires, the second butler Karn has already been imprisoned, leaving only him, the first person in the number one among the many third stewards.

"Did I trust Karn too much? Did Karn do a lot of outrageous things behind my back? I remember you telling me more than once to pay attention to Karn and not trust him too much, but I kept saying that you were worried about the world, and that I was in control of the affairs of the city, and it seems that I was wrong. Ellock, the butler, looked up to the sky and sighed.

He looked at the ignorant Darwin and continued: "I have just talked to the city lord, for my indulgence of Karn, the city lord is very dissatisfied, after this matter, I will take the blame and resign, I fought for the position of the great butler for you, but the city lord obviously does not feel at ease with me, he only promised to give you the position of the second butler, the position of the chief butler is now vacant, it seems that the city lord intends to let one of his own people come." ”

If, he knew that Yu Wuming was seriously short of personnel at hand now, and he didn't know what Erok would think, anyway, now that he was bluffed by Yu Wuming, he would not leave a bad impression on Yu Wuming's heart because of this incident, which might eventually lead to the collapse of the family.

Seeing that Darwin wanted to speak and stopped, he patted Darwin on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to ask, tomorrow you will know everything, and you will arrange the things to welcome the adults."

After tomorrow, I will go to the confinement room, the time limit is one month, I am no longer worthy of being this big butler, wait for the adults to come back, you report to the adults, I will wait for the punishment given to me by the adults, I have prepared a letter of resignation, tomorrow you help me transfer it to the adults, during my confinement, you will first handle the family affairs for me, and wait for the adults to rearrange the selection of the chief housekeeper, do you understand?"

Darwin saw the firmness in Erock's eyes, and knew that his decision was serious, and he could only accept: "I understand." ”

Today, after the end of the trial, Elok went to the house first, and immediately accompanied by Darwin to the confinement room, locked himself in, he declined Darwin's request to change his bed, and at the same time did not want the oil lamp that Darwin prepared for him, he said that he usually made mistakes in the family members who were like him, looking at his brother's face as if he was a teenager old, Darwin didn't know what to say, when he left the confinement room, he felt a kind of relief and relief for his brother.

Out of the confinement room, Darwin only sighed softly, and at the same time instructed the guards to meet as much as possible if the chief butler had any requirements, and then he went to the front to prepare for Yu Wusheng's preparations.

After Darwin left, Erok looked around, in fact, it was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything, but Erok seemed to see everything, this room was about 4 or 5 square meters, only one bed leaned against the corner, and the other corner was a toilet, nothing else, not even a chair, and there was a small window at the height of one and a half people, and there was a faint light from the small window.

By this time, Erok had recovered from the point where he could not see anything in the darkness, and the furnishings in the room could barely be seen through the faint light of the small window, and Erok came to the bed and sat down, thinking that he could use this time of self-and captivity to reflect on the gains and losses of the more than ten years that he had taken over the family affairs.

Elok is 45 years old, has been in the service of the Earldom for thirty years, and fifteen years ago he took over the position of butler from his father.

At that time, the 20-year-old brother had already shown a stronger ability to handle family affairs, but the younger brother was still a little bored when dealing with many things, and at this time, the elder Eric, that is, Erok's father, fell ill due to a stroke, and Erok had to struggle to take on the responsibility of managing the family.

Because of the existence of the patriarch in other families, the housekeeper only needs to take care of internal affairs, but the Petrovich family cannot, because the former earl's very irresponsible behavior makes the housekeeper have to take charge of the entire family, if it were not for the simple structure of the family (the old earl has no brothers and sisters, not even cousins), and without the shackles of other family members, the Petrovich family would have been in a mess long ago.
