Their writing was complex, some kind of hieroglyphs, and Ian had only learned the simplest numbers before, and today he has officially started to read them.

Within the walls, knowledge was firmly in the hands of the aristocracy, and books were very expensive and hardly circulated in the market.

Ordinary civilians don't know a few big characters until they die, and there are very few channels for literacy to read, either you are born a nobleman, or you go to the army to attend military classes, or you have to bear huge tuition fees and send your children to private classes.

Ian: This is a very rare situation where education is free.

The level of the butler is very high, and the knowledge revealed between the lines is very profound, he deliberately took care of Ian, took Heatheria to study the strokes, and taught Ian to write from the basics.

After that, he began to tell interesting little stories, first to arouse Heatellia's interest, and then to summarize the story by distilling a word or two for Heather to learn.

It's no wonder that Heatheria enjoys classes so much, it's a real thing to do.

At noon, the butler took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

"Miss, that's the end of today's lesson."

"Ian, I'm going to go out, you go to the kitchen and get Miss's lunch."

"Yes." Ian bowed his head.

He fetches a silver tray from the kitchen and places it on the table.

Heatheria's lunch was extraordinarily rich, much better than Ian's, and the chef prepared a red wine steak, a vegetable salad and charcoal-grilled lamb ribs, as well as a glass of fresh milk with added sugar.

The butler was no longer there, and seemed to have left early.

Ian uncovered the tray and said, "Miss, I'll wait outside the door, and you'll call me when you're done." ”

As a subordinate, you have to have a basic self-awareness, wait for Heatheria to finish eating, and then put away the plate.

He had a faint feeling that this ring at noon was also a test for the housekeeper.

The butler was testing his obedience, observing whether the four years of slave life had made him develop the consciousness of being a subordinate.

If he passes this test, he may be able to touch something more central.

"What's your name?" Heatheria looked up at Ian.

"Ian." Ian said with his head down.

"Why are you going out? Won't you eat with me? Heatheria tilted her head.

"Because you are a young lady and I am a subordinate, young lady and subordinate people cannot eat together." Ian replied.

The young Heatheria looked puzzled, but suddenly her eyes brightened: "Okay, then you go out, I'll call you after I'm done!" ”

Ian breathed a sigh of relief and stood outside the door waiting.

After a while, a cheerful voice came from inside: "I'm done eating!" ”

Ian enters the door and finds Heatheria jumping out of her chair.

"It's your turn." She pointed to the leftovers on the table, half of the steaks, mashed potatoes and lamb ribs, including milk.

Her lips were snow-white, and the milk was sticking to her lips, looking a little silly, but cute.

"Now you're a young lady, and I'm a subordinate." After she finished speaking, she ran outside: "Ian, call me when you finish eating!" ”

A tiny head poked through the crack in the door, blinking at Ian.

Ian had mixed feelings in his heart, he could understand the child, probably wanting to make friends.

If Ian didn't know who she was and didn't know that she was in the world of giants, he would have been happy to play with her.

He knew that feeling, that loneliness of not being able to find his peers.

But no, he couldn't play with Heather, because he was a slave, a subordinate.

The steward must have been watching him somewhere, and once he crossed that line, he was afraid that he would be "demoted" back to the barn for various reasons, and lose the power and power he already had.

So he just picked up the napkin, squatted down with a smile, and wiped Heatria's mouth.

"Miss, let's go rest after dinner, I'll go and take away the plates."

He picked up the tray and left.

Heatheria stood still, leaning by the door, hiding and watching his back from afar.

It turns out that this brother is no different from the housekeeper, she thought.

Ian brought the cutlery back to the kitchen and received his lunch, a steak gratin and a glass of wheat wine.

As he was leaving, he met the butler.

The butler patted him on the shoulder: "Wait for me at the stable after dinner tonight." ”

After saying this, the butler left.

In the evening, Ian arrives at the stables as promised.

In addition to the housekeeper, there were also a few strangers, although they were dressed in civilian clothes, but they carried guns, and there was a smell of slaughter.

It was the lord soldiers in civilian clothes, who were leading the horses and preparing the carriage.

A graceful and luxuriously dressed hostess came down from the upper floor, and she looked beautiful in her precious gold jewelry, precious earrings and rings.

Originally, she was a very beautiful woman, but after dressing up at the moment, she is even more eye-catching, and from Ian's eyes after modern information bombardment, she can definitely be regarded as a beauty with about nine points.

"Please get in the car." The housekeeper motioned for the hostess to get into the car.

Although the hostess was dressed gorgeously, she did not dare to put any shelves and obediently got into the car.

"Ian, join me to send the mistress to town." The butler let Ian get into the carriage, and the rest of the soldiers rode their horses.

Stamped, the wagon drove away from the farm in the night, and the soldiers were in charge of escorting it.

"The real owner of this farm is Lord Lacey." The butler said to Ian, "Miss Heatleia is the daughter of Lord Lacey, and the mistress was originally a servant of the lord's mansion, but now she is the lord's lover. ”

"When we have the order, we will send the mistress to the lord, and then at daybreak, we will take the mistress back to the farm."

"I'll introduce you to the soldiers, and when they all know you, you'll be in charge."

"You are an obedient child, I believe you can do this well, and in return, you can get three gold coins a month."

"Thank you, Mr. Butler." Ian tightened his grip on the reins.

That's three gold coins!

Ian, who has been in town for a month, already understands the purchasing power of gold in this world.

About two gold coins can buy a fat pig, and within the walls, the cost of raising livestock is very high, if you want to convert, three gold coins, about equal to about 13,000 yuan in the previous life's purchasing power.

In this world, it belongs to the absolute and absolute high salary!

With money, he can start working with his hands and feet!

And he's in charge of it alone, which means he's got the whole night to spare!

All he had to do was send her over at night and pick her up during the day.

In the middle, when Lacey was in charge, it was all his free time, and he could move around the town freely.

Not only that, but he also has a network of soldiers, and he can meet many soldiers!

At this moment, he felt a sense of excitement that he had not felt in a long time, and felt that he had a little more chance of surviving.
