Chapter 30: The Carnival
Joanna sewed the two pieces of fish skin together with a needle made of fish bones, and as for the thread, she had just pulled out of the hemp in the morning, and although her hands were constantly moving, her eyes were not focused, and she did not know what she was thinking.
The maid life since she was fifteen years old, although she will be beaten and scolded at every turn, and she will be hungry in a small black house, and her life is very hard, but she has also learned a lot of skills, she can accurately pick out fish bones when cooking, and she can also make some basic seasonings, even Znunu can't find anything wrong. She can sew too, and when she was still in the middle of the kelp, Madame never gave her money to buy clothes, so basically her clothes were made by herself, and she found that she was quite talented in this area, in addition to the fit of the clothes, he would also embroider some lace, which is something that craftsmen can do.
However, when she was working once, the lace hidden in her sleeve was seen by Madame, who was furious and took out fishbone scissors to cut her clothes to pieces, and beat her several times, and locked her in a small black room to prevent it from coming out.
But since then, she has never dared to embroider lace anywhere on her clothes, and every time she finishes embroidering, she looks at it and laughs for a while and then secretly removes it.
In the past few days, he has experienced almost all the ups and downs in his life, and after returning from his wife's house a few days ago, the master became wrong, yelled at her, and gave her to Master Ku that night, and she was almost scared to death.
Although the maid is confined to the house most of the time, she will meet with other maids every time she needs to buy groceries, but she has never seen the maid of Master Ku's house, but she knows that the maid of Master Ku's family often changes, and she originally thought that Master Ku was a very strict person, so she often changed maids.
But once she overheard a guy who was very proficient in the news say: Master Ku's maids are all beaten to death! Master Ku likes to gamble, and if he loses, he will punch and kick the maids, and these maids are all beaten to death! And no maid has ever lived for a year!
So when she knew that she was sent to Master Ku's side, she cried on the spot, but it was useless, the master wouldn't care about her at all, and then she was sent to be locked up in a small dark room without any light, she was very scared, she was afraid that one day she would be pulled out and killed!
But the next day, before I saw Mr. Ku himself, he was sent back, the house was a mess, the lord didn't know where to go, I heard Ami say that the lord took all the money in the family, and Mrs. went to the legal department to sue the lord.
About half a day later, Mrs. came back with an angry face, sent a fire and beat the two of them, and then went out, saying that she was going to find someone to complain, and did not come back after a day, until the next morning, Master Ku dragged a fishskin bag and brought people to the house, saying that the master planned to hire a murderer to kill the chief of the small tribe, and also caused the loss of a small potion in the middle of the kelp, the crime was extremely evil, and they also had to be given to the chief of the small tribe as an apology, and how to punish it depends on the meaning of the chief of the small tribe.
She remembered that she was stupid at that time, and the old man had committed such a big crime! But where did the old man go?
When she came back to her senses, she was deeply afraid, she was going to be sent to that small tribe as an apology, I heard that the small tribe was very arrogant, and the lord hired a murderer to kill the tribal chief, would they be sent to hang Xingtai!
When she was a child, she was still with her parents, and one of the neighbors had a family of inferior people stealing a small potion, and then the whole family was sent to the execution table, and when she secretly took a look, she was frightened and seriously ill! Stealing a small potion is so serious, let alone killing the chief!
She will definitely be sent to hang Xingtai!
Then she was stupid, and in a trance, she and Ami and the lady who was captured were sent to the seaweed department, and saw the chief of the small tribe, not the kind of scar on his face as he imagined, but a clean boy who looked much smaller than herself, and she also saw the huge wound on Connors's tail fin, and she didn't need to think about how terrible it was at that time, this young chief would definitely take revenge, and the lord was not there, and the anger would definitely be poured on them
Even now, Joanna didn't know that the fishskin bag contained Znuva, who had been made into a human being.
But fortunately, nothing happened, and both she and Ami became inferior people in the seaweed minibe, and although they had no salary, they could become official residents in five years!
This is simply what she dreams of, the official resident means that she is paid for her work, she can buy what she likes, she can embroider lace anywhere on her clothes, and no one dares to bully her at will, and the seaweed department will protect her safety, any of which she did not dare to imagine before.
God knows how happy she and Ami were when she knew the news, the only thing she was unhappy about was Madame, she was noble and could dance, she was sought after at any ball, she would drink tea very elegantly, read some poems that sounded very romantic, and the chief of the seaweed department even asked her to be a waiter to do some work of making weapons, sewing clothes, and skinning fish, didn't he know that Madame's hands were so thin and she had never done work.
At that time, Madame shouted to see the chief of the Seaweed Division, saying that the family was very rich and could ransom her back, and then Madame was taken away, and yes, Madame is a person who is naturally noble.
Then Aunt Rauman, who was in charge of them, told them about the rules of the seaweed department, which were very relaxed, even if they were only inferior, and the rest of the time after doing the daily work was arranged by themselves, and they could go there if they wanted, but they were not allowed to approach near the chief's house and the fertile soil.
She even felt that it was much easier for the Seaweed Minor to wait for someone than a servant, and Aunt Lawman also said that if someone bullied them in the Seaweed Mini, she could tell her that the chief would not allow any bullying to happen in the tribe, and this was still the inferior person who couldn't speak out when she was beaten and scolded in her memory?
Finally, Aunt Lawman also asked them if they would have any skills, and if they could, they could become official residents sooner, and she still told Ami that she could embroider lace, and said that it was very beautiful, and even some craftsmen could not compare
"This dead girl, how can she talk so much"
Joanna was a little shy, these lace styles were all secretly figured out by herself, how could she say that they were very beautiful, but Aunt Lauman said that she should prepare a few lace patterns, and if they were good-looking, they would be embroidered on the chief's clothes.
That night, she didn't sleep all night, racked her brains, recalled the impression that Connors had given her, and then showed off a few lace patterns that she thought were in line with Connors's temperament, and the next day she sent them to Aunt Rauman, who said it was beautiful, but only with the chief's consent, and the chief could embroider it if he liked it.
Then she waited secretly and anxiously, and she had not recovered for the past few days, making her feel that she might fail.
"Bang"
Just when she was thinking nonsense, a small mermaid with blue and gray hair rushed in, and now it was the meal, but the perennial maid life Jona's meal was different from others, so on weekdays, there were seven or eight people in this room, and she was the only one at this time.
"Ami, what's the matter?"
This guy with blue-gray hair, Ami, is the maid of the Znu family like herself, and the two are very good friends.
"Jona, a great thing!"
Jona's heart suddenly felt a premonition
"Could it be that the chief thinks my lace looks good!"
This is the only thing that can be called a great good thing.
"Yes, Aunt Rauman said that your lace chief said it was good-looking, and the chief is going to ask you to make him a dress that he can wear at the party!"
"Really?"
The news came so suddenly, Joanna was a little overwhelmed.
"Miss Xiao Lanna, the hand who ate just now, personally ran over and said, you know that Miss Xiao Lanna has a good relationship with the chief, is there still a fake. ”
"That'...... Then I'll hurry up and prepare. ”
Joanna was a little flustered, the carnival would be an important day, and the chief also said that it was a major festival to celebrate the Seaweed Minor having the second potion and the magician settled, such an important day, clothes and something were very important, although there were still a few days before she had to prepare early.
"Don't worry, Joanna, you have to trust your skills, it will be fine, and you don't have anything to prepare, Aunt Lawman will help you prepare later, but unfortunately I can't learn anything because I'm clumsy. ”
Ami is a little frustrated, the only thing she can be considered good at is that she can clean things cleanly, but anyone can clean this kind of thing.
"It's okay Ami, I can teach you, it's definitely okay to learn slowly. ”
"Hey, let's talk about it later, is there any good news you want to hear?"
Ami is a natural optimist and always manages to be in a good mood
"What's the matter?"
"You know, I'm in charge of cleaning up the fish caught by the fishing team, so I often have access to the fishermen, they know everything, and I heard this morning that Madame's family is not willing to put out a copper scale to redeem Madame, and I also said that Master Znuva is a sinner, and Madame is also a sinner, and is no longer a member of his family!"
"Ahh
Joanna covered her mouth and spoke after a long time:
"What about Madame?"
"Like us, they are inferior, and if they don't work, they won't be given food."
Ami was a little gloating, she was not less whipped by her wife on weekdays.
"This is for you, I got it out of the mouth of a begonia fish, and I don't know how I got in, I'll go back first, otherwise I'll be scolded." ”
Ami handed the things in her hand to Joanna and swam away, Joanna opened her hand is a very small stone, but purple, very beautiful, collecting beautiful stones is her hobby, she used to even secretly collect a small bottle, if she still has any nostalgia for the middle of the kelp, it is that the small bottle of stone did not bring over.
"Forget it, I can still continue to collect in the future. ”
Placing the little stone on the edge of the table, picking up the fish skin and continuing to sew, for some reason Joanna felt that she was in a good mood, and couldn't help humming a song:
"Brilliant Coral Bay ......"
