Chapter 53: Shining Debut
Inner City.
9th Second Avenue, Pompeii Estate.
The morning sun is full of life and seems to light up and rejuvenate the whole world.
The gate of the manor creaked and was pulled open from the inside.
Four or five maids worked together to open and secure the door, and an old man who looked like a butler stepped out of it.
He lifted his white-gloved hand, straightened the dark blue bow tie on his chest, and waved at the maids.
"Wait a minute, Professor Yulai is coming, don't embarrass Lord Viscount."
"Yes, Mr. Binoz."
The old butler straightened up, folded his hands in front of him, and stood by the door, quietly waiting for the distinguished guests to come to the door.
Second Avenue is located in the heart of the inner city, and the people who live here are either rich or wealthy. So that the nearby environment is quite good, whether it is green plants or layout, it gives people a sense of comfort and luxury.
Compared to the rest of the inner city, the buildings here are more aesthetically pleasing and grandiose. The buildings are far apart and have a wide view, which is refreshing.
This, combined with the fact that the terrain is high enough to overlook the entire Amber City, encourages many middle-class people to take their families for a walk around the neighborhood in their free time.
Viscount Pompeii was a low-key man and was not well known to the public in the inner city. This Pompeii estate has stood on Second Avenue for many years, but few people know what it is about.
"Hey, look over there."
Several young women wearing pale yellow shirts and long brown dresses pass by.
They were students at the Hypericum Women's School nearby, and they were carrying standard leather bags in their hands.
One of them pointed to the gates of the Pompeii estate, attracting the attention of his companions.
"Is Viscount Pompeii's house a guest?"
"Oh, have you forgotten Miss Rebecca in second grade? She didn't listen to advice on an outing and broke her leg while riding a horse......
I eavesdropped on my mother's conversation with her friends, and Viscount Pompeii found her an excellent governess, and I heard that she was a scholar in a public college. ”
Another female student looked surprised and stunned and whispered:
"No wonder Mrs. Meghan has a bad temper in class lately, mostly because she wasn't invited."
"Giggle......
Several schoolgirls covered their mouths and laughed.
At this moment, a carriage slowly approached and stopped at the gate of Pompeii.
The groom, wearing a top hat, got out of the car and lifted the curtain.
A middle-aged woman dressed in an opulent garment stepped down, wearing a wide-brimmed hat on her head.
"Oh, it's Lady Yulai!"
The schoolgirl was surprised.
"I know her, she's a professor at Yellow Iris College, and she wrote the Elk Poems......"
"I happened to read that book too, and it's amazing!"
Several schoolgirls were talking in low voices.
"It's enviable that Miss Rebecca can be taught by Lady Yulai."
"Who called her father the Viscount of Pompeii......"
The old butler Binoz saw the middle-aged woman get out of the carriage and walked forward with his head held high.
"Lady Yulai."
He saw that the other party had taken off his leather gloves and was about to give a kiss.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage again, and under the eyes of everyone, a tall and handsome young man walked out.
He wears a black suit with a short felt shawl and a black top hat.
He slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked around.
When he saw the group of female students, he showed a polite smile.
"Oh! Oh, my God! Who is this gentleman? ”
"He's so handsome......"
Butler Binoz was stunned for a moment.
I don't know who the young man in front of me is, and he came in the same car as Mrs. Yulai.
Immediately, Binoz felt a weight in his hand, and looked down to see that Mrs. Yulai had already handed her hand.
"May the sun shine upon you, ma'am."
He kissed the back of his finger and blessed him.
When Madame Yulai put her gloves back on, Binoz looked at her suspiciously.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, this is my good friend, Mr. Jack."
Mrs. Yulai introduced Binoz.
The old housekeeper nodded, shook hands with Chen Lun, and said hello in a friendly manner.
"But...... Madame Yulai, today is the Viscount's invitation to a dinner alone. ”
Binoz said politely, pausing with the word "alone."
He guessed in his heart that this little white face with a bright appearance was probably a good friend of Mrs. Yulai.
But as far as he knew, Madame Yulai could not have been so rude. It is very likely that this little white face heard that she had been invited by the Viscount of Pompeii, and came over with a straight face.
There are not a few people in the inner city who want to befriend Viscount Pompeii.
"Oh, I don't think Viscount Pompeii will mind."
Lady Yulai smiled.
Binoz was displeased, and glanced at the black-haired young man without a trace.
The latter, however, was keenly aware of his gaze and responded with a polite smile.
"Madame Yulai, I think you know why Viscount Pompeii invited you here......"
"Yes, I know that."
Madame Eulai interrupted Binoz, and immediately made an apologetic gesture, and continued:
"That's what Mr. Jack is here for.
I have been unwell lately and may not be able to be Miss Rebecca's governess, but I recommend him. ”
"He? The...... Mr!? ”
Binoz grimaced.
Not to mention that he had never met this young man, let alone heard of his academic achievements. Let's just say that his appearance and age do not look like an excellent scholar at all.
Even if there was a recommendation from Lady Yulai, the Viscount would never agree to it.
"I'll explain this matter to Viscount Pompeii myself, Mr. Binoz."
Lady Yulai said softly.
The old butler was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Follow me, both."
He and a few maids led the way and led Lady Yulai and Chen Lun into the manor.
The trail extends deep into the estate, with wide lawns on both sides that resemble grasslands.
Chen Lun looked at his surroundings with interest as he walked.
According to the clues, he went to the Yellow Iris Academy in advance to inquire about Lady Yulai, and squatted at the door of her house, and finally used the hypnotic ability of [Siren Song] to successfully mix in the carriage.
This period of energy is quite exceeding.
In order to be in a hurry, he frequently used the hypnotic necklace, which also caused him to be more than half of his sanity at this time.
Enduring the faint pain in his head, Chen Lun let out a dark breath.
"Finally in, the next thing is how to convince Viscount Pompey to be her daughter's governess......
If you really can't do it, use [Siren Song]. ”
But he vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple.
The manor was very large, and Binoz led the two of them for more than ten minutes before they came to the door of the villa.
"The two, the Viscount and Lady of Pompeii, and Miss Rebecca, are waiting inside."
He pushed open the brown wooden door and stretched out his hand.
"Please come in."
"Thank you."
Madame Yulai nodded in thanks, and gave her wide-brimmed hat and stepped in.
Chen Lun followed closely behind, and when he passed by Binoz, he also nodded to him.
The old butler looked at the young man quietly, but he thought inwardly about the scene where he would be kicked out by Viscount Pompeii for a while.
"Another whimsical guy."
