Stop 36 The courage to spot a wild cat
The day has finally arrived.
Looking around at the bright sunshine, Isabel's eyes contained mixed feelings, and since the last time she had been humiliated, her heart was heavy, and she was relieved.
Emily, a servant of the same age, looked very relaxed, and was even more excited than her mistress.
"Emily, what are you doing?"
Julia asked Emily.
"Oh, miss, I'm sorry."
Julia's face darkened, and Emily quietly packed up for Miss Julia.
Julia glanced disdainfully at Isabel and Emily.
Master Gray has hired a coachman.
The "Red Butler" was as usual and as if nothing had happened, except when he was in a particularly overjoyed mood, when he saw us off at this time, he naturally kept a straight face.
The "Red Butler" had a stiff, serious and slightly melancholy face, his face was red, and the goosebumps on his neck were purple-red, like a drunkard who had just drunk, but in fact, he often said that it was natural.
Isabel approached the "Red Butler" and whispered to him, "Hey, Grandpa Red, when I come back, will I bring you something to eat?" β
His brow and his stiff part began to stretch, and he replied to her: "No need! β
"Alright then!" Isabel said, "Then I'll bring wine, especially the kind of wine that only nobles can afford, okay?" β
"Haha, that's fine!" Grandpa Red scratched his head shyly.
"Eh, Grandpa Hong, in fact, you have always treated me as your own granddaughter, and loving me is equivalent to the big wolf dog you fed and the wild rose that climbs the vine." Isabel continued, "I'll be back, anyway, I'm still on the estate. β
Grandpa Hong smiled with relief, even more embarrassed.
Sometimes, he also often loses his temper and yells at Isabel that he is wrong.
"Also, if you hadn't quit smoking last year, I'm going to buy you a cigarette pouch out of my pocket at Christmas, and lo and behold, your pouch has been broken for a long time...... Also, there's no one to make it up to you, isn't it time to find someone, for example, what do you think of Granny Lulu? β
Isabel stood on tiptoe and approached the pinna of the red butler's head poking out from the fence.
"Why don't you come and carry your luggage, Isabel?" The wife urged her again.
"Okay, I'll ...... it now"
"Grandpa, I'll go first." Isabel poked her head down and lightly branded a gentle kiss on the red butler's face, which was as long as the breeze.
Grandpa Red led the big wolfdog out of the fence, leaving behind a barren field of roses.
"Take care, everybody." Granny Lulu carried a large bag of things and waved goodbye to the red butler and one or two servants.
"Well, take care." The servants who remained in the White Villa to guard said.
The coachman parked the carriage on the side of the road, and the scattered winter wildflowers blew on it, and Julia and Gray sat on it.
The rest of the servants were in another public carriage, which was dilapidated and crowded, and there was no room for it everywhere.
Thankfully, there were no rats in the car, otherwise the world would have been turned upside down.
Isabel has her hands free, and in her spare time, she is still reading the unfinished "Broken Manor" in her hand.
Our two carriages, one large and one small, drove past Gray Manor, and the nearby ten miles were all under the control of the Gray family.
Isabel poked out her egg-like face and round head, beckoning to the male workers in the winter sun, all of whom were women, except for the estate.
"These men must take care of my estate," said Master Gray, "who have not made a mistake in the past ten years. β
The hard-working workers were still picking large patches of cotton in the fields, and a male worker standing on the ridge of the field bent down to pick up the cotton that had fallen into the ditch, "Yes, sir, we have been conscientious all the time, and we have not committed any heinous crimes." β
"How long will it take to get to Allen Manor?" Master Gray couldn't wait, he wanted to go back as soon as possible, he couldn't wait for a moment, he always had a bad premonition.
"Sir, don't worry, I'll arrive in about half an hour." The coachman grabbed the reins and turned to reply.
Mr. Gray said "whoop", Julia had not slept all night last night because she was so excited, so she was lying in the car to catch up on her beauty sleep.
"Oh, sirβI said it would take half an hour to reach the inn in town, and then we would need to change around the inn, one of those huge caravans leading to the town."
The coachman couldn't help but remember.
Master Gray covered his face with his hands, his lips were closed, he knew that he shouldn't have been so hasty, and now that the schedule was in a hurry, he was always worried about the affairs of the manor.
Isabel had a hard time traveling, especially Mrs. Tired and Miss Julia, who were in the other carriage, and vomited a few times when they stopped to come.
After resting for about three minutes, they rode through the crowded mass and headed straight for the town.
Finally arrived as I wished.
The place where Allen boasted of gathering celebrities - a large and luxurious manor, the surface of the temple was inlaid with one dazzling spar after another, like a thin layer of stardust falling from the vast sky, but they didn't bother to praise this beautiful scenery in front of them, they were really tired.
Granny Lulu was pale, her lips were weak, and she couldn't stand on her feet, and she only wanted to lie down in the warm bed with the help of Isabel, a little fool.
Outside the beautiful and spectacular iron gate, special butlers and servants greet them and carry heavy loads for the guests.
The gentle and well-behaved maid welcomed them into a special reception room.
By this time, it was not far from the time for the party to begin, and the sunset was all over the sky, and the stars in the west were shining.
Isabel watched all this with great envy, and at noon they stopped at the side of the road, munched on the black bread, and endured the cool breeze in the open air, and now she could at last drink a glass of hot milk brought by another servant.
She drank hot milk and stared at it all, down to every detail.
A small crystal clear teacup, all shining outside the garden in the night sky.
How neatly and consistently these utensils are arranged! Even if she was now willing to be one of the maids in the service of these great men, she was willing to taste the paintings admired by those noble men, and to observe their noble moves, but she was not as arrogant and domineering, hypocritical and selfish as Miss Julia lived in the country houses above.
Allan...... Alan is here.
In front of her, she felt a dizziness in her brain, wondering if it was because of the water surface of drinking this cup of hot milk.
She already felt that this was not reality.
Alan sat at the table less than three meters across from her, and she saw Alan hold a silver spoon in his hand, and at this moment she was like a drop of cream in that cup and plate, and slid into his mouth, as if she were happy.
The scent of roses in the breeze touches the facial cells of everyone in the room, making everyone fresh and rosy, and every movement and breath is extremely fresh and flexible.
Her face burned red, she put down the glass, touched her cheek with the back of her hand, and it was really infected with the wind cold and fever.
"Ahem, ahem." She covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
Mrs. Gray suddenly looked at Isabelle, who was making this loud and loud noise.
Isabel didn't look at Mrs. Gray, and Mrs. Gray glared at her angrily, because Master Alan was across from her, and it was a bit rude for her to leave without permission in front of her?
"I'm sorry, Master Allen, ma'am, I'm going out to breathe." Isabel said.
"Is it that serious?" Granny Lulu, who had a vicissitudes of life, squinted her sleepy eyes and cared about her.
"Maybe somewhere she contracted pneumonia, who told her to care about the homeless people who wagged their tails and begged for mercy."
"It's okay not to infect us." Another lightning-thin maid who followed Mrs. and Miss Dao was about forty or fifty years old, but she still couldn't change the big stinky mouth she had when she was young.
"She's better be careful, don't get any more serious." Emily asked, staring at Miss Julia, who had been staring at Isabelle's distant back.
A golden moon hung high in the middle of the sky, aiming at the flower bed of the moon season, like a round jade plate.
She set out to stop in this peaceful and beautiful garden, far from the noise and all the sin of the world, and the hazy and subtle breath of the moon was guiding her into the unknown.
Isabel calmed down, her feet suddenly stopped, and she realized that something was wrong with her.
She sighed, and before her heart could fully calm down, someone suddenly burst into her sight.
She stomped her foot, thinking it was a big wild cat that had broken into the bushes, and she patted her cheek, which was now slightly hot, with her cold palm.
Maybe it was because of the temperature outside, which made her body have a fever.
Before she could catch the big wild cat that had scared her, there was a faint voice in the other corner of the round moon-season flower bed, which was strange.
There were two men talking, and they were two gentlemen, and they were talking in a very different tone from the common men whom she had come into contact with in the countryside who had called themselves noble gentlemen, and Isabel hid in awe from the flowerbeds with a budding curiosity.
She was so annoyed that she couldn't see the real faces of the two menβwas it as intimidating as the wild cat that burrowed into the bushes?
Maybe after seeing it, I also stared at a pair of glowing cat eyes! Mao raised his head and warned her not to invade his night-owl territory.
But - she was timid, and did not have the courage to detect whether the upper class was also a "terrifying wildcat".
She stopped, shrunk her head, and looked away.
It was only at the strange moment when the backs of the two men were swept in the sky with the starlight sinking in the night sky, that Isabel was completely relieved to enjoy the quiet and secluded environment alone.
