Chapter 36: Arrival
In the early morning, the sky was bright.
Li Xuan got up and pushed open the window, and looked down from the third floor, there were already many people in the manor who were busy cleaning up the work they didn't finish yesterday.
Two gardeners prune the flowers and plants in the front yard, carefully remove some waste branches and collect them into baskets, two guards clean up fallen leaves and dirt in the pool, and the carpenter sets up a simple workbench in front of the stables on the east side and "pong" and knocks on something.
The first night of the manor was a good night's sleep, the rooms on the third floor were cleaned by the maids, and the bedding and beds were all new, some of which Orin had sent and some of which Feuerbach had delivered.
"Knock Knock"
While Li Xuan was still watching, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Come in. Li Xuan turned around and said, the door was pushed open, and a maid pushed a wooden cart and entered the room, Li Xuan looked over, the wooden cart was very exquisitely made, and there were many things on the multi-layer structure, several clean towels, two hot and one cold and three basins of water, as well as toothbrushes, combs, mint paste and other things, all of which were used for washing.
Li Xuan glanced at the maid and found that it was a very young maid, wearing a plain beige maid suit, surrounded by a big apron, with upright facial features, a slight bulge on her chest, her figure was a little small and exquisite, her big eyes and high nose bridge were quite cute, her wheat-colored skin looked very healthy, and the maid was very restrained.
"What's your name?" Li Xuan asked her, although she had seen it when she was choosing a servant yesterday, but because she was dressed very plainly at that time and there were many people, Li Xuan couldn't remember everyone's name.
"My name is Anna, Mr. Li Xuan. Anna replied with a curtsy.
Li Xuan wrote down his name in his heart and asked her, "Is breakfast ready?"
"Yes, sir, will you eat in the dining room or in the room?" asked Anna in a whisper.
"After washing up, I went to the restaurant to eat. You go out first, and I'll get dressed and come down. As he spoke, Li Xuan took the towel and put it in cold water.
"By the way, Anna, I'm used to washing my face with cold water, so I don't have to use hot water next time. Li Xuan explained to her while twisting the towel.
"Yes, sir. ”
After cleaning quickly, Li Xuan pushed the door and went out, the maid Anna was still waiting by the door, he took a look, and then walked downstairs.
The dining room is large and looks like it can accommodate quite a few people, and the long tables are covered with snow-white tablecloths with many simple but beautiful patterns. On the table were several plates covered with metal rounds.
After Li Xuan walked over, the maid at the table quickly stepped forward to pull out the chair, and then removed the metal round lid on the plate.
Breakfast was simple, a plate of baked wheat cakes, a plate of stew, a bowl of porridge, and some cheese. It's rich, but it's only abundant.
Li Xuan picked up the baked wheat cake and took a bite, his eyes lit up, it was indeed delicious, much better than the one he bought at the market yesterday, crispy and fragrant, the sweet wheat flavor was very delicious, the chef introduced by Feuerbach did have a hand, Li Xuan remembered that when he was choosing someone yesterday, this chef said that his baked wheat balls were delicious, and Feuerbach also recommended him.
After slowly eating two wheat cakes and drinking a bowl of wheat porridge, Li Xuan felt full, picked up a towel from the table to wipe his mouth, got up and walked out of the restaurant.
The rising sun had just risen, and with red rhyme, he walked to the door, looking at the busy crowd in the front yard, Li Xuan felt a lot more in his heart, such as a sense of identity with this world.
When he first came to this world, because many people didn't eat breakfast, Li Xuan was particularly unaccustomed to it, including during the period when he lived in Orin's castle, and later Boris went to communicate with Vivian that Li Xuan liked to eat breakfast when he got up in the morning, and the castle prepared breakfast every day. Yesterday, Boris also specially explained about breakfast, and he and Vivian both discovered that Li Xuan has this special hobby of eating, but his taste in eating is not particularly picky.
After strolling around the manor for a while, a deep sound of horses' hooves reached Li Xuan's ears.
Li Xuan looked over, it was a carriage, slowly stopped at the door, and several people got down from the carriage and stood at the door. Li Xuan glanced at it suspiciously, who would come to visit him so early, could it be that Noah pulled the materials over?
After two guards stepped forward to ask a few words, one of the guards came running quickly.
"Sir, it's a carriage from the Magic Guild outside, and a gentleman named Patrick wants to see you. The guard ran to him and said.
Patrick Li Xuan thought for a while, and recalled that it was the teacher of the magician who he taught yesterday, and it seemed that he was here to find a scene.
Li Xuan nodded and walked over with the guards.
Walking to the door, Li Xuan saw several people standing quietly in front of the carriage. The leader was a man about fifty or sixty years old, and two others who had met yesterday, Ian, who was taught a lesson by him, and Quincy, who was blackmailed by him.
"Good morning, Master Li Xuan, I'm Patrick and I'm from Sicorrese. Patrick politely opened his mouth to introduce himself to Li Xuan first, with a warm smile on his face.
"Good morning, Mr. Patrick, it's a pleasure to meet you. Li Xuan smiled at him politely.
"I've heard everything about yesterday, and I apologize to you most sincerely for Ian's mistakes. Patrick said apologetically to Li Xuan.
"Quincy told me the whole story, and I was furious. There are two boxes of gold coins on the carriage, which I asked them to raise yesterday, a total of 300,000 gold coins, I hope to get your forgiveness from Master Li Xuan. Patrick said slowly.
The two guards beside Li Xuan were first shocked, Mr. Li Xuan turned out to be a mage, and then when he heard Patrick's words, his eyes almost fell out, 300,000 gold coins!
"Master Li Xuan, I apologize to you for what I said yesterday, and I hope you can forgive me. After Patrick finished speaking, Ian immediately stood up and bowed to apologize to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan glanced at him lightly and didn't speak, he was very surprised by Patrick's behavior of coming to apologize, and he didn't expect that they would really bring gold coins to apologize, and they brought three times the amount he said casually. Li Xuan only has a general understanding of the purchasing power of gold coins in this world, but he doesn't have a very clear concept yet, but even so, Li Xuan knows that 300,000 gold coins must be an astronomical amount.
"Master Patrick, I feel your sincerity, if you don't mind, please come in, maybe we will have a lot of common topics. Li Xuan invited Patrick with a smile.
When Patrick heard Li Xuan's words, a smile bloomed on his face: "I'm very happy." ”
