Chapter 379: Svetta's Choice (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Recommending a Ticket)
Seeing Leiter's arrival, the two maids closest to him waited with watery eyes in a wink:
"Good afternoon, sir."
"Good afternoon, sir, would you like something to drink?"
"No need, you can just decorate the venue carefully." Leiter waved his hand, looked around the hall, stopped his gaze on Shahr for two more seconds, and said to everyone with an unchanged face: "Everyone has worked hard, if you are hungry, you can eat something to replenish your energy, and when you are tired, take a break, today is a festive day, everyone should not be too tired." β
"Thank you, sir."
"The lord is really merciful and benevolent."
"That's right, the old man is too understanding."
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing that Leiter was thinking about them, a group of male and female servants hurriedly sent heartfelt praises.
"Of course, the lord is the greatest man in the world."
Sveta's voice came from the other side of the passage, and the whole person walked to the hall with hurried steps, changing into a new and clean dress, exuding a refreshing atmosphere.
"Oh~ Sveta, you're taking a bath too fast, I thought it would take at least another ten minutes." Rett looked at Sveta and smiled.
"Master Ruilai has introduced a new alchemy bathing device, which is a new invention, which makes it much more convenient for us ordinary people to take a bath, and with just one button, water falls from the sky, as if taking a bath in heavy rain, this feeling is fantastic." Sveta replied with a smile.
Suddenly, Sveta noticed Shahr, who was facing away from Reit, and was startled, a hint of anger appeared between her eyebrows, and reprimanded:
"Sha'er, did you keep your back to the master just now? Do you know that this is very unruly! Sir, he is about to become a king, and with this low-level mistake you have made, you can be directly expelled! β
"I, I, I'm sorry." Shaal's face was as red as an apple, and he replied in embarrassment and chagrin, but being reprimanded like this, the whole person's spirit tightened, and his attention was completely shifted, and his 'good brother' relaxed instead......
Only then did he dare to turn around and confess: "Master, I was wrong. β
At this moment, Leiter grimaced, met Shangsha's gaze, and said surgingly: "Well... Today's mistake is indeed a bit low-level, and you will be punished for eating black bread for a week! β
"Thank you for your leniency!" When Shar heard the content of the punishment, his heart was relieved, and just eating black bread for a week was quite a good consequence......
"Hmph, the master's kindness is not the capital for you to make mistakes, such a disrespectful mistake, I don't want to see you make a second time!" Uncharacteristically, Sveta said to Shar in an extremely cold voice.
Sha'er, who had an extremely keen sense of hearing, seemed to hear the change in the butler's tone, and trembled all over, deeply realizing how foolish his actions were just now, and his heart fell to the bottom.
"Alright, Sveta, come with me."
Rett looked away from Shaal, held back a chuckle, coughed lightly, and shouted at Sveta.
Sveta's face instantly changed to waiting: "Yes, master!" β
One after the other, the two of them came to the outside of the castle, under a huge phoenix tree.
Shadows are like umbrellas, bringing a shady place.
"Master, Nasha'er is so disrespectful, I was so disrespectful to you just now, I was thinking about whether to take him ......with me in the future," Sveta stood behind Reiter, looked at his back, and said with a sigh.
Leiter turned around and shook his head with a smile: "Svetta, the situation just now is actually a bit special, don't be too harsh......"
"Special? Please instruct me. Sveta looked puzzled, he was just an ordinary person, he was still an elderly middle-aged and elderly person, and his attention just now was mainly on the master, and he really didn't notice the 'special' changes.
Leiter invited him twice, lowered his voice, and told what he had just discovered.
And Sveta, who learned the truth, was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a long time.
Finally, he sighed with tears and laughter: "Shahr, this kid, is really ...... It's so 'young'......"
Maybe it's because Sveta's prime has passed, and he hasn't experienced the feeling of vigor for a long time, but he didn't think about it for the first time, but now he can only sigh with emotion.
"Alas, there was an oversight on my part of this, and it was my failure to notice such problems in time." Sveta thought for a moment, then lowered her head and confessed her mistake.
This time, Leiter was silent for a moment, and instead of being relieved for the first time, he said:
"Hmm... In the light of the small, this example actually reflects a lot of problems that cannot be ignored. I came to you for a reason that has something to do with it. β
Sveta's expression was extremely serious, his right hand touched his chest, and said in a heavy voice: "Master, please speak." β
Rett stared at Sveta's face and turned slowly, a calm voice sounding in the mottled shadow of the leaves:
"The fact that the Green family will occupy the vast, central area of the entire continent from a corner of the land is of great significance."
"Our whole will occupy the throne, enjoy a high status, will be more sacred and dignified, and the status, status, wealth, etc., of each follower, will also be elevated like a fly compared to what it is now."
"But at the same time, everyone's words and deeds will be under a magnifying glass, related to the image of the Green royal family."
"On the surface, this just requires us to be more rigorous and pay attention to our words and deeds in the future. This is true, but in fact, it requires superiors and managers to give full play to the art of management. β
"Because it is certain that the manpower required by the Green Palace is undoubtedly several times more than that of today's Green Manor, among which the guards, servants, etc., there are men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin, any type of people, there are all kinds of potential problems, whether they are exposed or not, it is just a matter of probability and time."
"In the past, we didn't have to care too much, but with the increase in manpower, even if the probability is smaller, it is more likely to happen - managers can only be more convenient to manage the crowd if they are aware of the characteristics of each type of group of people and know their strengths and weaknesses."
Sveta fell into deep thought, unconsciously lowered her head and looked at the ground, recalling in her mind every word that the old man had just said, it was so thought-provoking.
Reiter cleared his throat and continued:
"Just like the example just now, Shaal's restlessness reflects the physiological needs of this group of young boys and girls, well... As long as it is a normal 'creature', it cannot be avoided and there is no need to avoid it. β
"Blind prohibition is always unsatisfactory, and countless experiences in history have proved that an anti-human system can never succeed."
"It's better to be sparse than to block, and the order to prohibit can be issued by everyone, and it will only be prohibited, which is a manifestation of the lack of ability of managers. Only reasonable guidance can reflect the wisdom of management. Reiter said meaningfully, turning to look at Sveta again.
"Wisdom of management......" Sveta muttered these words, and his whole demeanor was a little dazed.
A gust of wind blew, the branches and leaves of the phoenix tree rustled, Sveta's hat was almost taken away by the wind, he pressed it in time, looked at the old man with a look of extreme admiration, and bowed deeply, "The master's words are like an initiation, which made me understand many truths, as if the past life experience has been sublimated all of a sudden-the word management, both management and management, lack of any, there will be problems." β
Hearing the final summary, Leiter's eyes were also extremely pleased, "I have such an understanding in just a few words, Sveta, you are still an excellent butler, with extraordinary talent, I believe that when you arrive in the palace, you will also be my right-hand man." β
"At this age, what talent do you have?"
Sveta smiled self-deprecatingly, and fell silent suddenly.
His eyes were a little complicated, and he looked at the old man with emotion, his eyes were slightly moist, and his lips squirmed and said:
"Master, it's my honor to follow you in this life, your brilliance makes my Sveta's life extremely bright, and I have a fate that countless people can't ask for, but ...... I'm just an old man, and I beg your pardon for refusing to continue to be your supreme stewardβa kingdom is countless times more complex than a Dark Eagle City, and I beg forgive me for being too young to take on this task. β
"The lord is willing to leave me to water the flowers and sweep the floor, and I am actually satisfied......"
"Sveta ......" Reiter's expression moved, his eyelids moved, and he stared at his good butler.
After a long time, Lei Tet let out a long breath and said heavily: "At this time, you don't need to say much, I will not abandon you, you will always be my good steward......"
"Sir, but ......" Sveta was greatly moved, and her eyes were red.
"There's nothing to do, let's go back and prepare for dinner, we should cherish our last days at Fort Deep Rock." Leiter waved his hand calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was a pinch of quicksand that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Sveta watched the quicksand quickly move away, his face seemed to be old for a moment, he silently glanced at the old tree beside him a few times, turned around and walked slowly towards the deep rock fort.
...
"Steward Svetta, what's wrong with you?"
Rachel, who had just cut the flower garden from the outside, walked along the path on the side, looked at the lonely Sveta, and said with surprise.
"No, nothing."
Sveta, who had been distracted all the way, almost didn't realize that someone was coming, so she quickly came back to her senses, took a deep breath, looked Rachel up and down, wearing a green gardener's maid outfit with a knee-length skirt, and suddenly asked, "Rachel, you don't have a partner yet, right?" β
"Ahh Rachel's cheeks blushed at the question that didn't come, she glared at Sveta and covered her mouth and said, "Oh my God, Mr. Sveta, why are you asking this?" We're too different in age to be a complete fit. And if Cook Malu hears it, she will definitely be unhappy! β
"Ahem, you're probably thinking too much." Sveta hurriedly waved his hands, glanced in the direction of the castle with a weak heart, recalled the guidance of the old man just now, and quickly explained: "Don't think crookedly, I just want to understand your emotional state, the master's guidance just now made me pause, I was wondering if I was going to hold a sorority between male and female servants?" Of course, the premise is that none of you have a sweetheart yet. β
"What? Association! That sounds great! Rachel had a smile on her face, her eyes full of surprise, and she said, "Secretly tell you, Sveta Butler, in fact, Alto, the son of the carpenter Kuding, and Scarlett have a little love in recent months!" And Leo and Debbie, I've seen both of them frowning as they work......"
Rachel's eyebrows fluttered as she shared the little gossip, talking endlessly, and Sveta listened with a smile, touched her beard, and sighed:
"It seems that I have been doing a little inadequately in terms of 'reason'. There are so many interesting things in the castle that I didn't know. β
"In the future, I have to get closer to the servants and understand everyone's situation thoroughly, otherwise, as the master said, I am afraid that more and more problems will be exposed......"
Rachel's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she wanted to know what the old man had said, but she shouldn't have said much, so she could only follow the topic just now: "Hey Steward Svetta, when are you going to hold a sorority?" I'm wondering if I'm going to buy a nice dress for this......"
"Oh? Looks like you've got a man you like. Sveta said with a smile.
"Aang, but I can't tell you yet." Rachel's chin lifted, slightly shy.
"Then it seems that he doesn't know your intentions, go for it bravely, and I will propose to the lord that the servants who go to the marriage hall can have a pleasant vacation."
"It's a surprise, but I think it's a long way off." Rachel's eyes lit up, but gradually showed a hint of regret, and then she looked at the ornament on Sveta's chest, and suddenly showed a sly smile, "When did you and Chef Maru get to that point?" Let me tell you a secret quietly, in fact, in private, everyone is very curious about your progress, and some people are even betting on when you will get married! β
"Oh my God, you guys!" For the first time in a long time, Sveta felt his cheeks burn and tense, and the soles of his feet seemed to be equipped with pulleys, and he couldn't help but quickly move away.
γ
When he left, he muttered vigorously, "You guys are too rude, how can you talk about these things in private......"
...
After leaving Grimm Manor, Rett went to the outskirts of Dark Eagle City for the first time, pacing along a quiet remote path.
Looking at the windmill sign next to the milky yellow fence, for some reason, LTECH felt upset for no reason.
He folded his hands to his chest, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes at the grass and dust on the ground, and let out a long sigh.
"Alas"
Why do people grow old? Why can't ordinary people prolong their lives through cultivation?
The question of the people around him getting old has always existed in Leitt's mind, but he has been reluctant to mention it in his subconscious.
But today, when thinking about the establishment of the Kingdom of Grimm and the management of the royal palace, it is inevitable and impossible to postpone the question of where Sveta will go.
Can an ordinary old man really handle all kinds of chores in the huge palace?
