Chapter 2 Banquet Invitations

When Lu Qing walked into the manor with Betsy, he still had to sigh again about the magnificence here. Although in the past month, he has become quite familiar with the manor.

Devany Manor is as beautiful as its name suggests, with a variety of flowers and plants planted in the grounds, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers fills the grounds. It is said that these flowers and plants were cultivated by Annata, the hostess of the estate, so the servants took great care of them.

After passing through the garden, you will come to the main entrance of the estate. When you open the door, you will be greeted by a splendid hall with a breathtaking dΓ©cor and a luxurious finish. Not to mention the expensive furniture, the decorative oil paintings hanging on the walls alone are already staggering. Each oil painting is from the hands of a famous artist, and it is very valuable, no matter which one you take away, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the next life.

"Sure enough, if you have money, you can do whatever you want." Lu Qing sighed and touched his somewhat sour nose. "Qing, what are you talking about?" Betsy turned her head and asked curiously. "It's okay, I just feel that your home is so beautiful."

What Lu Qing said was by no means flattery, although all the decorations and arrangements in this manor were extremely gorgeous, they were by no means vulgar and had no connotation. On the contrary, the inside and outside reveal a solemn grace and luxury, and it can be seen that the owner has been very careful about all the designs here.

He had heard from many people that the owner, Carol Burke, was a wealthy businessman. He is also a discerning collector, and at Daphne Estate, there are many rare treasures from around the world, and it is said that any one of them is of great value. The Carroll family's reputation has been prominent since their ancestors, and it has continued to this day, and by Carroll Burke's generation, the family's financial resources have reached its peak.

"Hey, it's beautiful here, but it's not comfortable to live in at all." After listening to his words, Betsy pouted and said, "Father and mother are too harsh, and they must be perfect in everything, and the same is true for us. Growing up, my sister and I were required to have long hair, wear skirts, and behave like ladies. I'm so tired! As she spoke, another girl descended the spiral staircase in the center of the living room.

"Betsy, you're talking nonsense again. It's good that my mother didn't hear it, otherwise you would have suffered. The girl who spoke was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, with beautiful long brown hair, and her eyebrows and eyes were seven or eight points similar to Betsy's, but they were still slightly different. If Betsy is as energetic as the morning sun, then the beauty of this girl is like the bright moon, gentle and dignified.

"Sister, you're here!" Betsy immediately ran to the girl's side, coquettishly took her arm and said, "I was talking nonsense just now, don't tell your mother." "Got it." The girl smiled gently, and then said politely to Lu Qing, "Hello, Qing." ”

"You're so gracious, Miss Elena." Lu Qing also bowed gentlemanly. The girl in front of her is Elena, the second daughter of the owner. "This is the poem I just copied, Chinese is really difficult to write, my handwriting is not very good, don't laugh at me." Elena handed the paper in her hand.

"What's the matter, it's very well written! Miss Elena, you are really talented. After Lu Qing saw it, he said to Betsy; What about your homework? ”

"Hmm...... Well, I'll ...... in a while" Betsy stuck out her tongue, and Lu Qing sighed in distress, there was nothing she could do. Since entering the mission, Space has given him an identity, this time, as a foreign teacher of the Carol family, he was hired back by Mr. Burke to teach his children Chinese.

In fact, Lu Qing was also a little puzzled, there were more than a dozen people who came to apply for the job at that time, no matter which one, in terms of qualifications and experience, they were all knowledgeable experts. At that time, he was still a little unconfident, for fear that he would not be able to blend into Carol's house.

After a round of interviews, he unexpectedly learned that he was actually selected! "It seems that the space is really not covered." Lu Qing muttered to himself. Since Devany Manor was located in the middle of nowhere, built on the outskirts, Lu Qing lived here, like the other servant butlers. And the steward of this manor, whose name is also very memorable, is called Sebas. "Isn't every deacon's name Sebas?" Lu Qing complained.

"What did you say?" Butler Sebas was a little curious. Of course, unlike the all-powerful black-haired beauty in the anime, this Sebas is a tall and energetic old man. "Ah, it's nothing, I'm glad that I'm so lucky to be here to teach the children of the owner." Lu Qing said casually. After the housekeeper looked him up and down a few times, he said with a smile: "With your conditions, it is natural to be selected by the master." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Hehe, nothing. Please come with me, your room is on the left hand side of the second floor...... "As a specially appointed foreign teacher, Lu Qing's living environment is also very high-end. Needless to say, even the servants' rooms were so elegantly furnished that those who didn't know would even think it was the ladies' boudoir.

Of course, if you see the real room of the ladies of the manor, you will be amazed by one thing: poverty limits your imagination.

His usual tasks are also very easy, and it is a holiday at this time, and although the two young ladies do not have to go to school, they also have to learn various skills at home. For example, painting, sculpture, floral arrangement, etc., which naturally includes foreign languages. Lu Qing only needs to spare two hours a day to teach them Chinese, and the rest of the time they can move freely in the village.

"I won't pursue it this time, I must do my homework next time, or I will go and tell Mrs. Anata." Lu Qing said with a doting smile. "Well, thanks, Qing!" Like a happy bird, Betsy jumped happily, and her blonde curls were a little messy, but it was this that made her look a kind of age-appropriate vitality.

"Becky, what are you doing!" A majestic female voice came from afar, making Betsy shudder. Soon, a beautiful woman with blue eyes and blond hair walked in, surrounded by servants. She was about forty years old, but she was very well maintained, and at first glance she still looked like a twenty-year-old girl, as if the years had not left any mark on her face.

"Mother." Betsy immediately lowered her head, a little listless. "Becky, what did you just look like in front of outsiders? You have to remember that you are a lady. The beautiful woman said solemnly, and then showed a gentle smile at Lu Qing: "I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”

"Hehe, where." Lu Qing hurriedly waved his hand. "By the way, Qing, it's been almost a month since you've been here." The beautiful woman who spoke was none other than Anatta, the mistress of the manor. On weekdays, she takes care of the whole down and down of this manor, and Mr. Burke has gone out to deal with affairs since he was hired back to Lu Qing and has not returned for a long time.

"That's right, time flies." Lu Qing replied.

"I've been working hard for you these days. Thanks to you, both of them learned very quickly, and my husband and I were very satisfied. Ananta replied with a smile. She smiled, not only Lu Qing, but even the two maids beside Ananta looked stupid.

This is not an exaggeration, Ananta herself is very beautiful, and her two daughters have also inherited her beauty, but the two sisters are still young, although they are beautiful, but they are only shy and waiting to be released. Annata, on the other hand, is like a fully blooming rose, exuding a mature and moving charm from top to bottom.

"Tomorrow night is my husband's birthday, and I am here to extend an invitation to you on behalf of him, hoping that you can attend his birthday party." Ananta said softly.

"Okay, okay." After Lu Qing came back to his senses, he immediately agreed to her invitation: "It is my honor to be able to participate in this feast. ”

"You're in for a treat. I'm going to pick out tomorrow's outfits for my two daughters, so I won't bother you now. Elena, Becky, let's go. ”

"Yes, Mother." The two girls responded obediently. Before leaving, Betsy secretly winked at Lu Qing. The latter was slightly stunned, then smiled and waved his hand. After the mother and daughter left, only Lu Qing stayed in the hall.

"The mission is finally about to begin!" Lu Qing regained his serious expression and secretly clenched his fists.
