"Miss, it seems that the royal capital has not been peaceful lately!" said Verratti, who was carrying a basket of vegetables and a straw hat, pointing to the notice posted on the city wall, while a group of people surrounded him, talking and pointing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"It seems that the assassination organization Night Sakura has been active again recently!"

"Yes, Ye Sakura, who has been suppressed by General Rodchen Xus for several months, has made a comeback and infiltrated the royal capital again, and I don't know what the back and forth is for, and I really don't know how much bloody rain the royal capital will usher in in the future..."

"Oh, you're talking about the night cherry blossoms?" said Skirt Xiu, glancing at the bounty notice posted on the wall, and said nonchalantly.

"It's just a few little thieves! it can't be a big climate!" said while looking at this and that dress show in front of the stall without worrying at all. "Jiuqu, do you think I look good?" The skirt Xiu wearing trinkets didn't care about this at all.

"That's right!" Verratti nodded, the Night Cherry Blossom Organization has been known to the civilians of the royal capital for more than ten years, and it has never been just an assassination, but it has little to do with people like them, although they have the title of nobility, they are actually no different from ordinary people. The people assassinated by Ye Sakura were all powerful people in the royal capital without exception, but for ordinary civilians, there had never been indiscriminate killing, so the civilians in the royal capital were not too disgusted with Ye Sakura.

"Duke Liszt should be coming soon! Verratti pressed the straw hat that was almost blown away by the wind, looked up at the slowly noon, the sun began to be scorching, and said anxiously.

"Verratti, what kind of relationship did Liszt have with my father before, and why didn't I have much influence on this man?" asked again on the way back, with a blank face.

"I don't know very well, the Earl usually chooses to meet with important tasks in the study, and no one is allowed to enter the study! I only have some influence on this Liszt, and I don't know the specifics. Verratti shook her head in confusion.

"Oh!" Skirt Xiu didn't care, thinking that the so-called Duke Liszt had just come to visit the descendants of his friends!

"Jiuqu, help me take a look at the zipper on the back, is it done?" The skirt showed the floor-to-ceiling mirror, although the family has declined, but the basic aristocratic hospitality etiquette that has been passed down by the Nikolai family for thousands of years still exists. From Verratti's painstaking preparation of the finest beef, as well as napkins, black tea, etc., you can see a little bit of it.

"There's one less butler!!" On the long table, delicate silverware and tableware had been arranged, and Verratti, who was both a maid and a maid chief, looked here and there, clapped her hands with satisfaction, and her eyes showed a little nostalgia.

"You don't have to worry about this, Jiuqu is completely qualified for the position of housekeeper!" pushed out Jiuqu, who was wearing a black and white tuxedo. The skirt looked at her masterpiece proudly.

Verratti's eyes lit up, he remembered that he had taught Jiuqu basic aristocratic etiquette before, and he didn't know if the other party had forgotten it. So as not to be self-defeating.

Verratti put on clean white gloves for him, Jiuqu nodded again and again at Verratti's commands, learned quickly, stood respectfully to the side, and Jiuqu, who felt uncomfortable with a white towel on his wrist, couldn't help but bow his head and asked, "Master!

"This is aristocratic etiquette!" said Skirt Xiu raised her index finger, and said with a rare serious expression on the baby's fat cute face.

"Ding-dong-"

"The guest is here, I'll open the door, Jiuqu, don't forget what I taught you just now!"

"Why doesn't Verratti be this butler herself?"

"You don't know that, do you? hehe..... Stewardship elected, as well as incumbent. They usually grew up with the eldest son of the nobles, and their main job is to assist the eldest son who inherits the title to deal with things, and Verratti doesn't look like he grew up with me!"

Jiuqu nodded, no longer speaking, the guest had already entered the house, took a few steps back, and stood quietly aside.

"Duke Liszt, please, lunch is ready!"

"Excuse me, honorable Count Nikolai!" said Liszt, who had finished his gentlemanly manners to his master, and handed Verratti his hat and coat.

"Distinguished guests, let's dine first!" Skirt Xiu gave the general Jiuqu a look. After meeting the truth, he poured the so-called Duke Liszt a red wine as bright as blood, and took the silver plate that Verratti served.

Without looking at the guests too much, Jiuqu knew that it was impolite, and after doing everything decently and reasonably, he stood aside again, smiling, ready to serve the guests at any time.

"Count Nikolai, your butler is quite capable!" said Liszt. glanced at Jiuqu more, "I don't seem to have seen this person before!"

Skirt Xiu was wondering if she should talk to Liszt about Jiuqu being a companion beast, "It's over, honored guest!" Jiuqu had already replied in place of Skirt Xiu.

Lunch ended in a pleasant conversation, and Skirt Xiu still didn't understand what Liszt's purpose was.

"Goo-goo-" After Jiuqu made a cup of black tea for Liszt, Liszt picked it up and took a sip slowly, and Liszt began to slowly say the purpose of this trip.

"Count Nikolai is my best friend, and this time I have come to see how his descendants are doing! Subconsciously glanced at Jiuqu, because he found that the housekeeper in front of him had a very stiff expression, something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Uncle Liszt, then you can rest assured, although my father died early, he left behind enough inheritance to worry about food and clothing!"

"Ahem..... Liszt coughed a few times, "Recently....... I heard that the night cherry blossoms are starting to be active in the royal capital again!"

"I've heard of it!" Skirt Xiu couldn't wait to say, and at this time, Jiuqu, who noticed the strangeness, slowly bent down, leaned sideways, picked up the white towel, and gently wiped the non-existent dust on the collar of Skirt Xiu, and the amber eyes met Skirt Xiu's sapphire eyes, and said in a tone of only two people, "Master! It's weird, you listen to him!", signaling Skirt Xiu not to speak too fast.

"That estate in the village of Philisden, I wonder if Count Nicholas has it been sold?"

"Philisdon?" Skirt said, reminiscing about her childhood memories of her childhood......

"Wait a minute!" Skirt Xiu whispered a few words to Jiuqu, who nodded and turned to leave. A moment later walked in, conveying Verratti's words.

"It's still there! Now I entrust an intermediary to take care of it, I don't know ....."

"That's good!" Liszt suddenly came to his senses when he heard Skirt Xiu say this, "Ye Sakura has made the people of the royal capital panic these days, so I want to move to the quiet countryside to hide for a while, but I don't have a suitable address for a while, and I just thought of Count Nicholas as having such a beautiful ranch manor, so I wanted to come and ask!

Only then did she understand why Liszt didn't come to her father's funeral, and why did she come to visit now, it turned out that she wanted to take advantage of herself, and she was bullying herself that the Nikolai family did not have a man to be the head of the family?

Seeing that Skirt Xiu's face changed for a while, Liszt, who was originally drinking black tea lightly, couldn't sit still, and immediately said: "I'm willing to pay a high price to buy, at least it's worth the price of the manor!"

"This won't work!!Honored guest!" Jiuqu took a step forward and pressed the skirt that wanted to speak. "That ranch estate is the only thing that Count Nicholas left to my young lady worthy of nostalgia, and there are some things that cannot be bought back with money!

"I understand!" Liszt did not show any angry expression at the other party's rejection. Instead, there was a little anxious expression on his face.

"I'll give 100,000 Mulberry Dollars (the current popular currency of the Tudor Dynasty)!"

"Shhh Unexpectedly, Liszt opened his mouth to be 100,000 yuan, so that the skirt show, who had never seen so much money since he was a child, was full of little stars, so much money, I don't know how many beautiful clothes I could buy.

"Miss, your hair is messed up!" Jiuqu covered the cute little face of the skirt show that had never seen the world. "Freeze your face and be expressionless!"

"What's the matter? Isn't that good? Count Nikolai, that's not kind......

"Distinguished guest, it's not that my young lady is unwilling, it's just that ..... you should also understand that Count Nikolai died not long ago, and Count Skirt, who is the current head of Nikolai's family, still needs a lot of money to revive Nikolai..... " Jiuqu was clever and explained appropriately. The look of displeasure on Liszt's face was slightly better.

"Then the matter is settled! 200,000 mulberry coins!"

It was agreed with the skirt show that they would go to the countryside together in a few days, and Liszt left with a happy and satisfied face.

Skirt Xiu couldn't help but hug Jiuqu's neck and laughed and made trouble, "200,000! 200,000 mulberry coins!

"Miss, this is not very good! after all, it is the only thing that the Earl has left you!" Verratti was glad that a ranch manor could be sold for such a high price, but he was a little reluctant in his heart.

"I'm sure my father would have agreed if he were alive! Philistine's manor is indeed full of memories! But now that Nikolai has fallen to the point where it is now, it is inseparable from the lack of money! I believe that my father will definitely agree with my decision!" said with an excited face.

Until now, he was really told by himself, and after hearing the tone of the skirt, it was obvious that he had eaten the scale and was determined to sell the ranch manor of Philisten, Verratti couldn't help but smile bitterly.
