Chapter 635: Rose Manor (11)
The follow-up to the dismissal of the valet was that Steward Hill found another replacement for the Viscount, but the Viscount refused for unknown reasons.
Only a first-class manservant who served tea and poured water in the study was left to serve by his side, and the rest of the time he stayed upstairs alone.
Such a platoon was not enough for a viscount, and after the steward of Hill repeatedly suggested that there should be a personal valet, he was threatened with dismissal by the angry viscount, and soon died down.
Time flickered and it was a rest day, and Wen Cha got up early in the morning, and after asking for instructions in front of the viscount, he said that he wanted to go home and have a look.
This time, Lord Viscount waved his hand and let her go.
In the evening, Wen Cha returned with a bag of wild fruits and distributed them to the other maids.
Sophia's sharp eyes found the new hairband on Wen Cha's hair, "Xicha, are you going home to meet your lover?" ”
An embarrassed smile appeared on Wen Cha's face, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm not talking nonsense," Sophia raised an eyebrow, "You've never changed your hair band before, this lilac one is perfect for your skin, and the gentleman who picked this hair band must be very careful." ”
"No," Wen Cha repeatedly denied, "this is what my mother bought for me, so don't make fun of me anymore." ”
"Well," the maids sighed in disappointment, losing an interesting conversation, "you are so beautiful, you will surely marry a good man in the future." ”
"Who can a servant marry?" Wen Cha shook her head.
"You don't understand this," said Sophia with a smile, "and now there are rich merchants and some artists, many of whom are married to beautiful civilian girls. ”
Wen Cha was embarrassed: "We can't afford a dowry."
"What dowry?" Sophia looked at her as if she was looking at a bun, "Beautiful noble ladies may not be able to come up with a dowry, let alone a maid like us?" As long as they are beautiful, many gentlemen do not want a dowry. ”
Wen Cha had heard a lot about this kind of thing, but she didn't want to continue to communicate with Sophia, so she put the wild fruit in her hand on her small table, said a few more words, and turned around and went back to the house.
She hasn't thought about getting married or something, the most important thing is to continue to live.
In the Zhoumu plot, the original owner was later hacked to death by the rebels with a knife during the Rose Manor riot, and now she must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
The next day, after Wen Cha got up, he stood at the table to serve Ansel, who had a good appetite these days, and after eating, he went to the window to read books and correct documents.
In the afternoon, Lady Elenda, who had been kicked out, suddenly ran to the door and begged Ansel to help her.
She had all the money on her, and she didn't have enough money to support it, and she and her pastor lover were living like years.
The priest had an annual salary of four or five hundred pounds, which was a huge sum of money for a commoner family, but it was not enough to squander for a noble lady.
If Lady Elenda wants to continue her carefree life, she can only ask for the name of Viscount Anse Els.
As the Viscount's mother, Ansel will not kill them all for the sake of the Viscount's face.
Lady Elenda knew her son and could use this to make him compromise.
The Viscount did compromise.
In order to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he asked the steward of Hill to hand Lady Elenda a check for a thousand pounds, and told her that she could not ask for money at the estate again until the new year came, or she would pay for it.
Lady Elenda took the money and quickly left.
She knew that if she went too far, her son would definitely risk losing his gentlemanly demeanor to make her taste the bitter fruit, and she didn't dare to gamble.
After Mrs. Elenda left, she also took away the good mood of Ansel, he threw away the book in his hand, sat down by the window and began to be in a daze.
This viscount is actually a very lonely nobleman.
He had no father, no siblings, no lovers, and when he was young, he was thrown by his cruel mother to suffer in London, far away from home, which was a great punishment for a young child.
Although he is now living a prosperous and happy life, he has not really come out of the past before he can say such childish things as hating marriage and wasting money.
If you think about it carefully, behind this glamour, there is no sadness.
Wen Cha brought Sophie's pastry to him and silently stepped aside.
Anse El glanced back at her, picked up the pastry and took a bite with a blank face, the sweetness of his mouth made him feel better for a moment, and he ate a few more pieces before stopping.
During the night, there was a heavy rainstorm outside the window, and Viscount Ansel heard the thunder and sat up from the head of the bed in fright, and in the second half of the night he developed a high fever.
By the time the manservant noticed that something was wrong, he was already unconscious.
Butler Hill hurriedly sent someone to ask for Dr. Able, and the terrible thing was that a day earlier, Dr. Able had returned to his hometown in Slow Chester to visit his family, and he would not be able to return at all for a while.
This is tantamount to a disaster for everyone in the estate.
"Go to the hospital and get another doctor." Wen Cha said calmly, "No matter what, I have to bring someone back to see Lord Viscount." ”
"Let's find Dr. Adam." "Doctor Adam is the most merciful doctor here, and he will certainly help Lord Viscount." ”
Wen Cha couldn't think of how Dr. Adam would give Anse Air a fever.
She even had a sense of foreboding.
She reminded the steward Hill that Lord Viscount did not like to have Dr. Adam come to see him.
Steward Hill retorted with a straight face: "Now is not the time for you to argue with me, last time the Viscount's injury was not what Adam Doctor was good at, but fever is what Adam is best at, as long as he comes over to release the poisonous blood in his body, the Viscount will definitely get better."
Wen Cha couldn't understand the logic between fever and bloodletting, she was resolutely opposed, this disease could not be reduced by bloodletting.
Hill's housekeeper angrily asked the valet to throw her into the house, "You don't have to come out until Lord Viscount wakes up!" ”
Wen Cha struggled anxiously, thinking that Dr. Adam, who was blindfolded by religious beliefs, would not do anything good.
The sound of her struggle annoyed Steward Hill, he had long had a problem with this maid who followed Lord Viscount to snatch his place at any time, and this time he must not let Wen Cha take his credit again.
After Steward Hill had Wen Cha's mouth gagged with a cloth, he had Dr. Adam summoned.
The black-robed doctor with a bird's beak mask took out a blunt knife from the medical box and slashed at the Viscount's wrist.
He will release the blood from the Viscount's body as soon as possible to restore the Viscount to health.
Anse El felt an inexplicable crisis in his coma, he struggled to open his eyes, and the moment he saw the beak mask, he broke free from the restraints of Dr. Adam, raised his foot and kicked the person out with a knife!
"Get out!" He said in a hoarse voice, angrily staring at the doctor who was going to disfavor him, "Get out of here immediately!" ”
Butler Hill, who was standing by the side, was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Dr. Adam, and was about to explain the incident to the Viscount.
Anse El stared at him murderously, "Where's the West Tea?" ”
Butler Hill's expression froze instantly, and he couldn't say anything about tying up the maid in the house.
This would make the Viscount disgusted with him.
His twinkling eyes made Ansel angry, and he quickly realized that Steward Hill might have done something, and shouted with red eyes, "Call her over at once!" Right away! ”
