Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Maid and the Maiden
At lunchtime, Edge ate alone, while Leah stood aside. This is also the rule of maids, who do not eat at the same table as their masters.
Aegie was troubled by this, and the maid's rules were really troublesome. He found it hard to imagine that he was eating a sumptuous and delicious lunch by himself, while Leah could only watch from the sidelines. Isn't this a little cruel for Leah? More importantly, he feels like he is being watched by Leah, and he eats unpleasantly.
Later, thanks to Giroud's presence, Giroud understood his thoughts and went to pester Leah. He took the opportunity to ask Leah to take Giroud down and take care of Giroud first. When Leah went down, he ate as much as he wanted. I have to say that Leah's cooking skills are excellent and the meals are particularly fragrant.
By the time Leah returned with Giroud, the table she saw was in shambles. Edge ate all the food, and you can imagine him gobbling it up.
"Ah~ Leah, you're back, the food you cooked is so delicious!" Seeing Liya, he laughed and scratched his head, looking like he wanted to hide his embarrassment.
Liya was stunned for a moment, and then there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
It was a touch of earning the trust and appreciation of the master as a maid. She had served several masters before, but none of them had eaten all the dishes she had made like Edge. And after eating, I admired it without any scruples. Although Aggie is a 'young master' who does not follow aristocratic etiquette, she finds that she has no intention of forcibly reversing Aggie's behavior when facing Aggie, who used to pay special attention to etiquette.
Strictly speaking, this is fatal for the maid.
When the master makes an inappropriate and inappropriate move, the maid must raise it as soon as possible and advise the master to correct it. The image of the master is very important, if you can't even shape the image of the master, you don't deserve to be a maid at all.
At this point, Lia knew that Edge was behaving inappropriately, but she didn't want to correct him. It was an incredible thing for her, and there must have been something about Aggie affecting her.
The maid can only eat after the master has eaten, which is also a rule in the maid guidelines. After Agey finished eating, Lia immediately tidied up the table. When she asked Ageie if there was anything else she could do, Edgey said none before she went to the kitchen to eat anything else.
When Aggie learned about this, she felt a little sorry for her. Leah served him so hard, and in the end she could only eat at the end of the meal! To be honest, he never treated Leah as his servant. He accepted Leah's service because he respected the will of Lia's maid.
Blindly being nice to Leah and not treating her as a servant does not actually make her happy, on the contrary, it makes her feel distressed. Edge knew that her background was not powerful, just an ordinary civilian. Therefore, working in a noble mansion and getting a huge harvest if you don't pay well will make her feel uneasy and attract a lot of gossip to her.
Aegie understands her distress, so she doesn't act as a good person and engages in "everyone is equal". He just treated Leah as a servant while trying not to do anything that embarrassed her.
After lunch, Leah had two hours to rest on her own. In the afternoon, she would return to work at the mansion until seven o'clock in the evening, and after dinner for Agey, she would have three hours to rest freely. At ten o'clock in the evening, she needed to return to the mansion to rest and prepare for the next day's maid work.
On Thursday of every week, she is free to rest, in other words, Thursday is her holiday. Thinking about her work, it's really hard. There is only one day off a week.
Now that it was just time for lunch, Edge went to find Ria and asked her which places in the city were suitable for outsiders to earn gold. But by this time she was no longer in the house. Edge wondered how fast she ate, as she couldn't have eaten with her front foot in the kitchen without moving.
He questioned the other servants and asked where Ria had gone. A servant told him that Leah had returned home. It's her habit to go home every time she takes a break at noon and in the evening. By the way, she brought some leftover goodies from the house back to her younger siblings to enjoy.
After learning about this, Edge became interested in Leah. He then proceeded to ask where the servant Leah lived. The servant told him Leah's address, and he searched for it.
Walk out of André Avenue and turn the corner into an alley. Walk through the alleys to an old square surrounded by a patch of clearly dated old-fashioned houses. Liya's house is on the far left of the old-fashioned house, leaning against a small bamboo forest.
Edge stood in the old square and looked at Riya's house, which was old but had a nice environment. At the same time, he saw many children playing under the house, and a few old people chatting together. They are not very rich, but they are happy. Maybe they're the kind of people who are physically poor but spiritually rich.
In the midst of the group of children playing, there was a little boy with tan hair who saw Edge looking at Leah's house, tilting his head in thought, his eyes rolling around. Coupled with his somewhat fleshy little face, it's really cute to look at.
The little boy is Leah's youngest brother, Carey.
It was precisely because he saw that Edge had been staring at his house that Carey tilted his head and wondered what this big brother was doing looking at his house. Then he scratched his head, probably not understanding it, so he stopped thinking about it, and turned and ran to Edge's place.
When he approached Age, he said in an innocent and immature tone, "Big brother, what are you doing all the time looking at my house?"
Edgie noticed him, looked a little doting, and smiled, "Is that house your house? So, Leah is your sister?"
Carey looked very excited when she heard Leah's name, nodded heavily, and said happily: "Well, Sister Liya is the best, the most beautiful, the best-looking, the most beautiful, the most gentle, and the most ...... Most...... The best sister!"
Kyrie would have liked to utter a long list of compliments on Leah, but apparently he was too young to remember that much. When Aggie saw him like this, he really seemed to smile, this little guy was so cute.
"So, what's your name?" asked Aegie with a smile.
At this time, Carey put on a righteous appearance and said seriously: "My name is Carey, and I will become a great hero man in the future!"
"This ......," said Edge, who was a little speechless, "Carey, who taught you these words?"
Carey blushed, and the little guy blushed! He looked down and said ashamedly, "It's Carter's brother next door who likes Leah's sister......"
"Oh~" Hearing Carey's words, Aggie was a little stunned, it turned out to be a boy who liked Leah. No wonder he would teach Carey what it means to say 'Leah is the prettiest, the most beautiful, the most beautiful', which can be summed up as the prettiest of all. He must have liked Leah very much, otherwise how could he say such a thing in front of Kairi.
"What's your name, big brother?" asked Ageie, tilting his head.
Ageie smiled, touched his head, and said, "My name is Age, you can call me Brother Edge." ”
"Yes, Brother Age. ”
"So, Brother Ageie, you're here to find Sister Leah, aren't you?" asked Carey.
Edge nodded and said, "Yes, is your prettiest sister Leah at home?"
"Yes, Sister Liya is doing my laundry!"
"Come with me! I'll take you to Sister Leah!" said Carey, and asked Age to follow him.
Aggie marveled at how sensible this little guy was, and couldn't help but quip, "Carey, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
"Don't be afraid, Sister Liya is the best person, good people only make friends with good people. Brother Aiji came to find Sister Liya, and he must be a friend of Sister Liya, and that is a good person. Carey grinned.
Aiji was a little stunned, children are naïve, but naivety is not wrong.
After taking Edge into the courtyard of the house, Carey points to a well in front of her, indicating that Leah is washing her clothes next to the well. Aegie also vaguely saw a head of light green hair, presumably Liya was right. Then Carey didn't go in, and the kids told him to play football, so he left Edge alone and ran to play football.
Edge was speechless at him, but he was a child after all, and he could understand anything. He let Carey play, and walked into the courtyard by himself.
As he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly heard a melodious singing, which was like a gentle sound in the valley in the early morning, which made people feel refreshed and refreshed.
Unable to resist following the song, he went straight into the depths of the courtyard, where he saw Lia bare-footed, dressed only in a tight back, singing and stepping on her clothes. She enjoyed her clothes very much, as if she was dancing.
Aiji looked at her and felt that she was ten times more beautiful at this time than when she was wearing a maid's outfit, and her temperament was very fresh, like a carefree little girl. Even with her dancing body and singing, she is more like an elf.
Sensing that someone was watching from behind, Leah thought it was Carey mischievous, turned around and immediately shouted, "Carey, don't make trouble......"
"Smack~"
However, when she saw that it was Age, the basin she was holding fell straight to the ground.
"Ai ...... Master Age...... You, you...... How could it be here!"
Lia was clearly frightened by Edge's sudden appearance, and threw away the basin in her hand in a panic. At the same time, she was accompanied by the flush of her face and a shy look. This is also normal, at this time she is only wearing a tight vest, and she is bare-foot-girl! Where is her maid image? She sang again just now! Where is the image of a serious maid!
She couldn't blush if she didn't want to.
At this time, Aggie just wanted to speak, but she turned her head and ran into the room, not daring to let Aggie see her like this again.
Edge smiled at this, but she didn't expect that there was such a girlish side behind Leah's serious maid image.
