Chapter 28: The Mansion and the Manor
Colin began to hesitate to accept this storage ticket, after all, the amount was too large, what would the teacher and sister think when they found out?
However, before he could reply, Harvey Sr. slid the ticket to the side, revealing a larger piece of paper underneath.
"Because I heard that Mr. Wayne has no residence in the city for the time being, and it is inconvenient in case you need to stay overnight, the master specially selected a two-story mansion with a courtyard in the garden area, which is not too spacious, and I hope to use it for you as an occasional stay."
Colin hadn't recovered from the deposit just now, and he suffered another critical hit.
What do you mean?
Is this a house to give me?
Or in the garden district, where the rich gather?
This time, he had already sensed that something was wrong and was ready to refuse on the spot.
But before the words could be spoken, old Harvey repeated his old tricks, revealing the bottom and largest piece of paper.
"In addition, there is a manor under the owner's name, which happens to be at the foot of the mountain not far from the Mage Tower outside the city, she is usually too busy to go, and she almost doesn't go, thinking that it is a waste to be empty, so she will also give it to Mr. Wayne, when you are free, you can also have a place to relax."
After old Harvey finished speaking, he bowed his head and waited sincerely.
Colin was about to open his mouth several times, but he always stammered, completely unsure of what to say.
A mansion in the city, a manor outside the city, plus 500 gold langs.
Where's the reward?
This is to support me!!
Miss me Colin Wayne, although he has good facial features and is barely handsome, he shouldn't be worth the price.
When you think about it, it doesn't seem to be a loss......
Moreover, although Ms. Finia is a few years older, she is outstanding in appearance and very feminine......
Wrong!
Damn it!
What was I thinking?!
Colin hurriedly drove these messy thoughts out of his mind, and said to Harvey seriously:
"Mr. Harvey, I appreciate the kindness of Lady Finia, but these things are too precious for me to accept them."
If 500 gold lang is barely reasonable, then mansions and manors are not the same at all.
There must be something in this that he doesn't know.
Although because of the teacher, the other party should not dare to give him any tricks, but this kind of thing that is obviously beyond his range and unclear, Colin said that he would not accept anything, so he refused very simply, and even pushed away the 500 gold lang.
Old Harvey did not show surprise, as if he knew that Colin would react in this way, and said:
"Mr. Wayne, this is indeed just a piece of the master's heart, and please don't dislike the shabby gift."
Without waiting for Colin to answer, he smiled respectfully and humbly, and continued: "In addition, when I was waiting for Mr. Wayne, I paid a visit to Miss Tessa by the way, and she also looked at this gift list. ”
Colin was too lazy to listen to the other party, but the last sentence made him stunned.
Senior sister knows this?
But no objection?
Maybe it's really that I'm thinking too much, and the Youjin Chamber of Commerce is just transferring the property to the senior sister or teacher by itself?
Why?
Ms. Finia and Senior Sister are obviously very familiar, so why bother?
He was a little uncertain for a while, looked at the cautious old Harvey with his head bowed in front of him, and thought to himself that since the senior sister has a number, he will accept it first, and then go back to confirm it, in case there is no such thing, it is not difficult to let the senior sister return it.
Thinking of this, Colin bowed slightly: "In that case, I will accept it for the time being, and then thank Ms. Finia in person next time." ”
Harvey heard that he was going to return the gift to his master in person, but his task was only to give it away today, and he didn't have to worry about the future, so he bowed down and smiled:
"Praise be to your magnanimity."
……
Seeing off old Harvey, Colin hurried up the stairs to the twenty-third floor, knocking on his sister's door.
"Please come in."
Colin expertly pushed the door open and saw his sister sitting at the desk by the window, sewing a black garment.
"Senior sister."
"I was looking for you, come and sit." Tessa didn't look up, motioning for Colin to get into the chair across from her.
Colin sat down obediently.
Tessa pulled up the unfinished half of the fabric and placed it in front of Colin and measured it twice.
"Is this made for me?"
Colin was moved, although after he came to the Mage Tower, all the clothes were prepared by his senior sister, but it seemed that it was the first time he had sewn it by himself.
"I haven't done a needlework in two years, so I don't know if my craft has regressed." Tessa looked down and counted the threads.
The setting sun shone in through the window, sprinkling gold on half of her body and face, which was extremely warm.
"Senior sister must be good-looking." Colin didn't care about the sycophants first, and then asked curiously, "What kind of clothes?" ”
"Keep it secret for the time being, and I'll show it to you when it's done." Tessa smiled.
"Oh." Colin was very obedient.
Thinking of the purpose of coming here, he took out the storage ticket and two house deeds and put them on the prototype coffee table next to him.
"Senior sister, just now Mr. Harvey from the Youjin Chamber of Commerce came to me and gave me these things."
"Hmm."
Tessa didn't seem to pay attention to it, still staring intently at the needlework.
"Then I'll put it here."
"Why did you put me here what people gave you?" Tessa raised her head and asked with some confusion.
"Isn't this what I asked me to pass on to you?" Colin asked.
Tessa smiled, "You helped the Chamber of Commerce repair the loom, so Ms. Finia thanked me for it, if you want to give it to me, why should you hand it over?" ”
"But, these ......"
"What, don't you like it?"
Tessa put down the fabric and needlework, picked up the two title deeds, looked at them for a moment, and said:
"I know that this manor has been to a garden banquet before, and that it is quite spacious, and not far from here, and that the carriage is a quarter of an hour's walk away; As for this mansion...... 91 Locke Street, although I haven't been there, but the address should be a good location, if you remember correctly, the White Rose Theater is on that street...... Well, it's been a long time since I've been to the theater and I still have two satisfying dresses that I haven't worn ......"
Seeing that the senior sister was talking farther and farther, Colin hurriedly stopped:
"Senior sister, I know it's fine, but because of this, it's not appropriate."
"Why?"
"Don't you think it's a bit of a fuss? I just repaired a loom, but for the price of these things, I could buy a bunch of magic looms. Colin said helplessly.
Tessa laughed, "Lady Phinia has always been very generous, and her vision has never been wrong, since she is willing to pay such a reward, it must be justified." ”
"But...... It's ......."
Without waiting for Colin to finish, Tessa waved her hand and said:
"Okay, don't bother me with this little thing, I still have to think about the style of clothes."
……
Colin walked out of the room in a daze.
Is this a trifle?
He looked at the deed and storage ticket in his hand, and his face was blank.
