Chapter 12: The Voyeur
Every time he thinks of this situation, Zhang Yang will temporarily forget about these troubles, empty his mind to conform to nature, as the so-called soldiers will block, water will cover the earth, as for whether the boat to the bridgehead is naturally straight or naturally sinking, these have to wait until something happens, right?
"Where you come, you are safe."
So thinking of this, Zhang Yang put aside these renovation things, took a shower with peace of mind, changed into a new dress in black and white style, and waited for the start of the dinner.
As the sun went down and the sky soon darkened, the whole city of London was plunged into a quiet darkness, and unlike the small towns, the aristocrats were fond of showing off their differences in many places on the main roads of London.
"Mr. Li, the host, please go to the restaurant first, she will come later."
The middle-aged butler Ryan knocked on Zhang Yang's door and took him through the wide castle, he might get lost if he didn't pay attention, Zhang Yang seemed to have no action, but in fact he had engraved the route in his mind, so that he could run away.
In a large dining room on the second floor, a long dining table is lavishly laid out, and plates are placed on white velvet cotton cloth, and no one knows whether the delicious delicacy or the gentle poison is hidden under the thermal lid.
The manservant at the door kept the one-handed sword for Zhang Yang, and only a few young maids in the dining room waited respectfully, and did not see Ms. Heather, Zhang Yang was not surprised, since he was a nobleman, he always had to put the nobleman's shelf sufficiently, so he was not displeased, but picked up a bottle of red wine covered with ice cubes and poured a glass.
"Tsk, taste...... Doesn't seem like anything special? Don't feel like beer yet? β
Zhang Yang smacked his lips, he drank beer the most, occasionally drank some white wine, and red wine was basically ignorant. Therefore, it is impossible to tell what the red wine tastes like, whether it is good or inferior.
However, when his eyes swept over the label on the bottle, he saw a line of words written on it from 1982 Lafite, and remembered the words that people in later generations had been on their lips all day long, and after a moment of silence, a touch of admiration appeared on his face.
"This wine...... It's good. β
Ryan, the housekeeper next to him, stood beside him without squinting, Zhang Yang used Chinese, so the middle-aged housekeeper with brown curly hair didn't understand, but he still felt what the other party wanted to express from Zhang Yang's face, and couldn't help but raise his head slightly proudly.
"Fortunately, this guy from the East is still knowledgeable, otherwise this is a good bottle of wine. But it's really wasted. β
As a person in the aristocratic circle, compared to the commoners and new nobles from the township, there is naturally a way to show off their status, you can break a bottle of '82 Lafite when others are drinking cheap red wine, or you can hang the electric light at the door for a whole night when others want to save oil. You can also use the toilet when others have just used tap water and you have already started to use the flush toilet, only you can't think of it. There is nothing that the aristocracy cannot do.
Do you want an apple?
Then I'll give you a little apple. The one in the Garden of Eden? Athena's one? Or is it the one on the head of the scientist surnamed Niu?
Suddenly, a low and solemn music sounded, and Zhang Yang's heart was also a little shocked, and then he saw the door open, and Ms. Heather, who was wearing a white off-the-shoulder evening dress, walked in at the main entrance with elegant steps, and nodded to Zhang Yang with a smile.
Seeing the powerful aura that came out of this woman's body. Zhang Yang has to admit that if any ordinary person is here, he is so tough and capable (yes, capable. Don't think about it), the noble lady invited to dinner, which is really a happy and luxurious reward.
"Lady Heather, you're really beautiful tonight."
Words of praise floated out of Zhang Yang's mouth, and with Zhang Yang's sincere expression, anyone would be moved by Zhang Yang's sincere admiration, of course, if there was no circle of soldiers carrying muskets and armed guards outside the castle, this praise would obviously be more convincing.
"Stan. Mr. Li, you are also very handsome. β
Heather sat down elegantly, waved her palm and began to serve, the blonde young maid next to her took turns to lift the lid of the plate, and the rest of the dishes that needed to be eaten immediately were also brought up.
Freshly hunted foie gras, black truffles, and translucent caviar that was still trembling slightly were served one after another, obviously only two people were having dinner, but the dishes served were enough for ten people to eat a full meal, and Ms. Heather looked at Zhang Yang with appreciative eyes, as if to say: Look, I have such a huge wealth, and one person can enjoy so many luxuries, this is the real aristocracy.
Although it was a candlelit dinner, it was limited to the small size of the table, and such a long table could obviously only be lit by headlights from the ceiling, so as not to poke a fork into the nostrils, although Zhang Yang forked a piece of foie gras, sandwiched a piece of truffle, chewed a spoonful of caviar, and did not understand what the was good about these things.
"It is said that foie gras, truffles, and caviar are the world's three major delicacies, but unfortunately the taste is really not very good, foie gras is very fragrant but too little, and the taste of truffles is also terrible, caviar is not fish eggs, with the price of such a steel rail, buy back a bunch of things used to decorate the faΓ§ade but are actually difficult to eat, and the aristocratic is a magical creature by chance."
In his heart, he silently regarded the entire European aristocracy as the wronged leader, and did not say this sentence, but in his heart, he began to miss Chinese food, fried, steamed, fried and boiled whatever he wanted, and these so-called Western foods were all exploded.
However, the next dish still made Zhang Yang very satisfied, it was a roast goose, probably taking into account Zhang Yang's appetite, so it was directly served in front of Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang was not in a hurry, and slowly cut it and ate it.
He knew better than anyone that as soon as the dinner was over, it was time to get to the point, and on the surface it seemed as if he was the concubine who was fortunate by the emperor, but in fact he was just a good man who was robbed back. Housewife. Female, so instead of rushing to finish eating, slow down the pace as much as possible.
However, Zhang Yang's wishful thinking obviously failed, Heather seemed to see through his thoughts, and ate slowly and methodically with a slower and more elegant posture than Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang obviously forgot that comparing these etiquette things with nobles is simply looking for death.
But Heather is a woman after all, the amount of food is too small, no matter how slow it is, there will be a day when it is filled, after putting down the knife and fork to wipe off the grease stains on the corner of her mouth, she temporarily went to the bathroom with the help of the servant, Zhang Yang looked at at the food left on the long table, and then touched her belly, which was already full, and couldn't help but have a sad face.
"What to do? It seems that it can't be dragged on, what should I do? β
As if God heard Zhang Yang's prayer, a minute later, a sharp and loud woman's scream sounded, and Zhang Yang's originally bitter expression suddenly dispersed, and Ryan, the housekeeper whose face had changed, ran in the direction of the scream at the same time.
The scream was familiar to both of them, it was Ms. Heather's voice.
"Miss Heather, are you alright?"
Zhang Yang was the first to arrive, "panting" and broke into the door of the bathroom, and then saw Ms. Heather, who was very frightened, running out of the bathroom, pointing to the broken window outside.
"Someone peeping out the window! It's a monster! β
Zhang Yang and the others looked out the window at the same time, and a large black shadow flew through the glass window, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling on the roof, and a very rough laughter.
"Haha!"
"Let the soldiers chase that guy immediately, and never let him escape!"
Ryan's face turned pale, and he immediately shouted loudly at the male servants around him, and the soldiers of the entire manor quickly mobilized, and the muskets in their hands were aimed around.
But alas, the voyeur did not catch as he expected, but jumped off the roof and quickly disappeared.
"Damn! Let him run away! β
Ryan shook his fist heavily, his face gloomy.
The bathroom window was shattered by the mysterious monster, and the floor was covered with broken glass, and Zhang Yang walked over and picked up a large blackened cigar from the ground, with a slimy saliva on it, and a foul smell.
"Ryan, let the soldiers do their best to catch that voyeur."
After the initial panic, the noblewoman had regained her composure, and though she was still angry, she knew very well that the situation tonight might become a joke, and as she was considering how to disguise it, a figure stood in front of him.
"Venerable Lady Heather, as a man who believes in orthodox chivalry, I will never tolerate monsters blaspheming you and be able to escape in the future, please allow me to pursue him, please believe in my strength, I am an official demon hunter."
Zhang Yang took the initiative to ask Ying to chase after him with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and a hint of doubt flashed in Heather's eyes, but it quickly turned into relief, and then into satisfaction, and nodded slightly.
"I'll give permission, but be sure to keep an eye on your safety."
"Understood! I'll go right away! β
After getting Heather's permission, the servant who kept the one-handed sword returned the sword to Zhang Yang, and after Zhang Yang carried it on his back, he made sure that the fixed rope was not loosened, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, he pushed open the window and jumped from the second floor, and then landed firmly on a stone pillar that stretched out, and jumped on the roof with a few jumps, following the trail of the voyeur.
"Ryan, it seems that my guest today is a little amazing."
Heather. Andrew looked at the figure that was flamboyant and departed, with a touch of appreciation in his eyes.
"Perhaps, master, but I'm also sure this guy won't be back tonight, I think you should know as well."
Ryan stood beside him, looking at Zhang Yang's figure as if he had escaped from a tiger's den, and felt slightly. Andrew obviously understood this, but he didn't say it, but after a moment of thought, he returned to his room.
"Whether he wants to come back or not, tonight's incident has already qualified him to reject me once." (To be continued......)
