Chapter 2: Good News, Bad News

Now it was Roy's turn to be curious: "Do you know about the Christian family?" ”

"Yes, their family, like us, has not had an inheritor in the last few generations, so there are not many of them."

Renaud said with emotion, "But after all, they are nobles, they have also been brilliant, and the heritage is still there, even if there have been no inheritors in these generations, they are still developing well......

"It's a pity that this generation of family heads has a bad heart and participated in some illegal transactions, and after being exposed, the entire family was copied by the Sidenia Temple."

The Temple of Sidenia is the highest authority in the main city of Sidnia, and although Renault did not mention too many details, it can alarm the temple and show that the circumstances of those "illegal transactions" are quite serious.

It's no wonder that the relatives of the Christian family dispersed, and the Sidenia Temple personally ended up, and they themselves could not be protected, who would care about the life or death of a little girl.

Roy hesitated for a moment: "She doesn't need to bear the guilt of the elders, right?" ”

"Not really."

Renault shook his head, "Sidney's co-sitting system has long been abolished, and now that the Christian family has been duly punished, these are a thing of the past for her. ”

However, having said that, in fact, everyone also knows that with such a life experience, she will inevitably be pointed at in the future.

Sidenia was only a city, and the noble circle of the Upper Town was even smaller, and the title of "son of sinners" would probably stay with her for the rest of her life.

This will have a serious impact on her future studies, job hunting, and courtship, and she may never be able to live a glamorous and carefree life like an ordinary aristocratic lady.

Even if she didn't do anything wrong, after all, it was a close relative who committed something, and it was helpless to be treated with colored glasses.

Although all this had nothing to do with Roy, his heart was a little heavier when he thought of the difficult life she could foresee.

Compassion is shared by everyone.

As if seeing through his worries, Renaud smiled and comforted: "It's also that she's still young, and no one remembers her, so things are okay." If she wants to come and be a maid in our house, just let her change her surname. Aren't you still saying why, go on. ”

"Hmm."

Roy sorted out his thoughts for a moment and continued: "The second reason is that we are also short of people now, and sooner or later we will have to recruit servants in the past two years.

"My ancestors left this small mansion, and now the mansion is all taken care of by Sebas's butler. But he is already sixty years old, and his health is getting worse day by day, so he definitely needs to recruit a servant to help him. ”

He continued bluntly: "It's also this generation that we are down, and there are few people in the mansion, so we can even save the hired people, otherwise with the scale of this mansion, it is too little to hire seven or eight servants!" ”

Renault listened slightly embarrassed.

Good guy, it's really childish, how embarrassing is he to say this.

But he couldn't refute it, because it was true.

In this generation, only the head of the Renault family, Young Master Roy, Butler Sebas and his wife (in charge of the kitchen), and five guards remained, a total of no more than ten people.

A large number of rooms are left unused, and too much space is not utilized.

However, Renault is not worried about the future of the family. Now that Roy has awakened to become an inheritor, when he grows up, the Arnold Mansion will sooner or later become thriving and regain its former glory.

When the time comes, if you want to hire a few maids, you can hire a few maids.

And Roy also stretched out a third finger and said with a serious face: "There is a third reason to hire her, and that is because she is very cheap!"

"She only needs a quarter of the price of an ordinary maid, and is willing to endure a six-month inspection period, during which she only needs to be fed and sheltered, but how much does it cost us? She probably doesn't eat as much in a day as the guards eat in one meal!

"Maybe she still has little strength and no experience as a maid, but she has few requirements, and the cost performance is very high. If the family budget is limited, we can first prostitute her, no, investigate her for half a year, and then dismiss her......"

"I said stop."

The more Renault listened, the more wrong he became, and his eyes widened, "You kid, who did you learn these crooked ways from?" My Arnold family is also a hereditary nobleman, how can there be a reason to be harsh on the salary of a servant! ”

As soon as he said that, he realized that Roy was using the method of agitation to provoke him, and he couldn't help but wave his hand with a smile: "You little ghost, what do you like, I can't control you." ”

Roy smiled as well, bowed slightly, and turned to leave the study.

Seeing that he could cite one, two, or three points to convince himself, Renault was also relieved. He knew that his son's desire to take the girl in was not just out of pity, but out of his own considerations.

At this time, most of the means of persuading parents are still coquettish.

Perhaps in his lifetime, he will really have the opportunity to see the revival of the Arnold family with his own eyes.

……

In the main hall, Arya Christian ate only a small piece of bread and half a glass of milk, and then stopped and sat down in her chair in an orderly manner, waiting for the final judgment.

Sebas stood aside and nodded imperceptibly.

After a long hunger strike, it is most forbidden to overeat, but normal people often subconsciously want to fill their stomachs after being hungry for several days, which is very harmful to the body.

But Arya controlled her desire to eat.

This at least shows that she is a child with perseverance.

The wait wasn't long, and Arya sat quietly, her heart pounding, as if time had stopped.

She suddenly became scared, and the result of waiting was to get her out of the mansion.

In fact, this place is smaller than her original home, and among those who rejected her before, the Arnold Mansion is definitely not ranked in terms of wealth and luxury, and it can even be said that it looks a little depressed among the aristocratic class.

But she wanted to stay here.

In these days of homelessness, she was welcomed into the main hall for the first time and finished a good meal.

Although her stomach was still hungry, she felt that she should not eat any more, and if the young master did not agree with her staying in this house, then every loaf of bread she ate now was taking advantage of others.

Her father once taught her what it means to be short-handed.

Perhaps because she had finished eating for a long time, she felt that her whole body was gradually relaxing, and the fatigue of the past few days also came to her heart.

She sat in her chair, nodded unconsciously, and fell into a half-asleep state.

Until an approaching footstep woke her up.

"Good news, bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

What caught my eye was the young master's indifferent expression.

She was excited, immediately refreshed, and said nervously: "Then, listen to the bad news first...... Right? ”

Roy said calmly: "The bad news is that you don't have time to rest, and when you finish eating, you have to start working immediately." ”

Her eyes widened: "Good news? ”

"Good news?"

Roy showed a slight smile: "You have been hired, and from today onwards, you will be the trainee maid of the Arnold family." ”

The morning sun shone on his crisp black hair, and his tan eyes looked as good as warm amber at the moment. He bowed his head slightly, and said to her:

"My name is Roy Arnold, so I'm going to take care of you during this time, Arya Christian."
