Chapter 1122: The Twisted Flint Family
Rosalyna Flint, the current head of the Flint family.
As a pure-blood lineage with a place in the "Pureblood Lineage", it has to be said that this Flint family has its own special features.
It is said that because the ancestor who founded this family started because he married the only daughter of an ancient wizard inheritance family at that time, he was particularly afraid of his wife. For this reason, he even set the rule that "every generation of the Flint family must be headed by a female descendant".
In fact, that ancestor did not have the surname "Flint" in the first place, and this surname came from the wife of his descendant of the ancient wizard.
Today, of course, these stories are no longer elaborate.
After all, the original Mr. Flint seemed to live longer than his wife, and before he died of old age, he probably burned all these disgraceful records, so that the descendants of the Flint family only knew about some slightly subtle rumors.
However, it is worth mentioning that I don't know if it is a continuation of the ancestor's bloodline, and every generation of women in the Flint family has a bad temper. Not to mention the reprimand of the servants, sometimes if one does not go well, even the guests will be poisoned.
For this reason, although the Flint family is also one of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Clans of pure-blood, and the family bloodline is descended from ancient wizards, it has always been unpopular with other pure-blood families.
Come to think of it, if you come to their house as a guest, you may be scolded and angry, and if you have more times, who would be willing to have a deeper relationship with them?
And the petite fairy half-blood head maid, Eruli, grew up in the Flint family's manor where few outsiders would come.
"Tuk-tuk."
In the corridor on the south side of the third floor of Bezhuang, two slight knocks suddenly sounded, with a restraint that far exceeded etiquette.
Hearing a soft snort from the study, Iruli reached out and turned the doorknob, slowed down and walked in—at this time, the master should be in the little master's study to listen to the private professor's teaching, and then she would take the little master to the dining room for lunch.
Because the eldest young master of the Flint family, Marcus Flint, did not study well at the beginning, although he also entered Slytherin to study, but in the last year, he missed a grade because he failed the exam. So now, the master is keeping a close eye on the young master, and before he is old enough to enter Hogwarts, he has already arranged a lot of private lessons for him.
To be honest, Ilully felt that this was very unfair to the young master. After all, in this Flint family, every head of the family will be a female descendant, and no matter how hard the young master tries, he can only become his sister's assistant in the future.
But no matter what, Iruli was just a servant, and she could only think about these thoughts in her heart, and she would definitely not be able to say it.
As soon as she entered the study, she saw that the young master was sitting at the desk with the private professor, one immersed in writing and the other instructing from time to time.
As for the host, Rosarina Flint, is sitting by the window of her study, enjoying the warm sun near noon and sipping an expensive cup of black tea.
"Ma'am, Iruli has come to receive the punishment."
Since there was a lecture going on in the study, Iruli kept her voice down. But even so, Mrs. Flint's vulture-like eyes were gouged out so hard that she lowered her head.
Seeing that the master glared at him, he did not react to his appearance. Ilully understood that the master did not want to disturb the young master's study at this time, so she simply walked to the base of the wall silently and stood still, waiting for the end of the teaching time.
Taking advantage of this moment, Iruli just stood there, observing her master's expression out of the corner of her eye.
It can be seen that the appearance of the female head of the Flint family is still as "strong" as ever, and looking at the appearance of the five big and three thick, it is simply Hagrid who is a few laps smaller.
But on such a rugged body, she wore a burgundy robe with good texture and fine design, which made her look like a big bloody cake.
That's right, the kind you often see at vampire's late-night parties!
At this time, on the head at the top of this "blood cake", Rosarina's expression was undoubtedly revealing a sense of coldness.
Illuria only glanced at it secretly, but quickly withdrew her gaze and silently returned to the carpet pattern in front of her.
After that, about half an hour had passed, and the young master's private professor slowly stood up and bowed slightly in the direction of Mrs. Flint.
"Madam, this is the end of today's Charms course for the young master, and I will come back at this time tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Mrs. Flint nodded lightly, as if she didn't want to deal with each other too much.
However, the private professor didn't seem to care about her attitude towards him, after all, he took the initiative to apply for the job on the premise of knowing what the Flint family was, and he had already understood what kind of virtue this family was.
What's more, the people of the Flint family are actually just poisonous and foul-tempered, and they are not stingy at all when it comes to paying him. For the sake of a lot of gold gallons, it's okay to be a little stingy.
"Then I'll go back, madam, young master, see you tomorrow."
After that, he saw the middle-aged male witch salute again, and then walked to the door. There are other minions waiting outside, and they will assign one person to take him to an area outside the manor where there is no anti-illusion disfigurement.
And after watching the other party leave, Iruli knew that maybe it was her turn to deal with her.
So, when Mrs. Flint put down her teacup and stood up, she was silent.
"Go to the restaurant and get ready to eat."
As if she had forgotten the existence of Eruli, the lady said a word to her youngest son, and then took a step towards the door.
The little young master, who was following his mother, gave her a cautious look as he passed by the door.
"Why do you want to come back?"
After the mother and son of the winner's family left the study, Iruli recalled to her what the little master said to her before going out—because he didn't dare to be heard by his mother, he just made a lip shape, but Iruli still quickly distinguished.
That's right, the little young master is not the same as his mother, his older brothers and sisters, not only is he surprisingly good-tempered, but he is also a child who knows how to think about others.
But he was still too young to know the coercive effect of the servant contract, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.
Not to mention, Yiluli actually has a deep attachment to this manor and this "home". If it weren't for the need, she probably wouldn't have the idea of leaving for the rest of her life.
But for the little master's kind care for herself, Yiluli couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Alas......"
Shaking her head slightly, she didn't stay any longer, rubbed her forehead, which was still a little dizzy, and turned around and walked out of the study. When she reached the hallway, she found that it was empty.
……
Ilully knows her master well and knows that when the other person is angry, it is best not to constantly dangle where she can see.
So after leaving the study, she tried to avoid the other party's gaze almost all afternoon.
However, if she still wanted to live here, she naturally had to do the work that should be done by her. Even if she had to do things and try her best not to let her lady see her, it was undoubtedly very difficult.
But it is worth mentioning that I don't know whether it was Madame's orders, or the servants who hated her for making their own decisions, and did not prepare her share for lunch. For this reason, she could only take a moment to bake some bread by herself, and then filled her stomach with water rather hastily.
It was not until it was almost time for dinner that Rose, the maid who was particularly jealous of her, suddenly came to her side and gloated and told her that her lady had called her over.
Illuria was clearly not very good at food-related spells, and a few loaves of bread were baked by her and were somewhat hard. Even if you soak it in water, it's still quite hard to chew.
Hearing Rose's words, she simply put down the bread, and after taking an extra sip of water, she left the kitchen in silence and walked in the direction of the dining room.
It wasn't long before Iluli pushed open the side door of the dining room and stood against the wall with her eyes slightly lowered and her hands folded.
In addition to Mrs. Flint and the young son, there were many other family members in the dining room. Among them were Marcus Flint, who had played Quidditch with Harry and had a ruffian-looking face, and Elena Flint, the youngest sister in the family.
On the other side of the huge dining room, almost all the servants of the entire Flint family stood in line at the gate, and at the front was a row of low-brow house-elves.
Mrs. Flint, who was sitting in the innermost seat of the table, immediately raised her eyebrows when she saw Illuria coming, and said in a cold voice:
"Come here."
Before she could finish speaking, Iruli slowly walked over with her head slightly bowed and came to Madame's seat.
"Smack!"
A hard slap landed on her face in an instant. Perhaps because Mrs. Flint was not as strong as a woman, the slap was so powerful that it knocked the petite Illuli to the cold ground.
Today, Iruli forcibly used fairy magic, and she hadn't fully recovered, and this blow caused chaos in her mind, so much so that even the hot sensation on her cheeks became blurred.
"Who made you fall? Stand up! ”
Mrs. Flint's cold voice crept into Illuri's ears dimly, distorted in a burst of tinnitus.
But after Iruli could barely make out it, she got up from the ground without saying a word.
"Smack!"
