Chapter 12: The Butler and the Maid

What's going on?

Did I just have a problem with my brain or my eyes?

No, there can't be anything wrong with me, and I'm not a little chestnut.

Although the scene seen now has returned to its normal state.

But the cold and sharp ice castle just now was deeply imprinted in Jiang Zheng's heart.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, but he doesn't know what kind of demon it is now.

And just when Jiang Zheng was casually thinking about it on the surface, he was secretly thinking in his heart.

Lao Duan, the housekeeper who was in charge of taking care of the garden and taking care of the daily life of the courtyard, had already opened the door from the inside and welcomed the three of them in.

Lao Duan is an old man who always has a happy face, and it is said that he has served the Shen family for many years, especially in taking care of flowers and plants.

"Isn't this Mr. Jiang, I haven't seen you much recently."

Lao Duan knew Jiang Zheng, so he greeted him first, then looked at Su Mei and Bai Xiaoli next to him, and said with a smile:

"These two must be the eldest lady's classmates, the eldest lady just sent a message back, let us entertain everyone, please come in."

At the warm invitation of Lao Duan, the three of them walked into the beautiful Shen family courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Bai Xiaoli saw that there was a walkway paved with five-colored stones in front of him.

The walkway leads to the main door of the house, and on the left hand side you can see the elegant pool fountain swaying clear water droplets, and on the right hand side is a beautiful pavilion garden.

The flowers in the garden are blooming in full bloom and fragrant, making you feel as if you are in a fairyland

Woo...... Woo whoa, is this the legendary rich man? This courtyard can be so beautifully maintained, it must have cost a lot of money.

It was the first time for Bai Xiaoli to come to such a place, and she couldn't help but hold Sister Mei's sleeve tightly, her body curled up slightly, looking very nervous.

When he noticed her nervousness, Jiang Zheng, who was walking next to her, couldn't help but smile:

"Don't be so nervous, the garden here doesn't really have much value."

"Huh? Is it? But these flowers look very valuable. ”

"Precious is precious, but what is valuable is not the flowers and plants themselves, but the skillful hands and wisdom of the managers."

Jiang Zheng casually picked up a gardenia that happened to fall from the ground next to the aisle and put it in the palm of the little chestnut.

If you look closely, the garden seems to be full of magnificence, but there are no strange flowers and plants in it.

Flowers and plants are common varieties such as geraniums, carnations, gardenias, etc., which are not expensive or rare.

Even a lot of flowers are stuck in obsolete old porcelain cups, empty wine bottles, and giant nautilus shells.

The main reason for this beautiful visual effect is that the garden manager has excellent craftsmanship and taste, and every detail is carefully taken care of.

Just by looking at this garden, you can feel his love for gardening and life, which is also what Jiang Zheng admires Lao Duan.

After listening to Jiang Zheng's explanation, Bai Xiaoli was greatly surprised and exclaimed: "Is this the case, that old gentleman is so powerful." ”

"Yes, you have to be respectful when you see Mr. Duan in the future, you have to respect him as you respect me, understand?"

"Okay, I'll ...... Wait, what do you mean by putting yourself in it as a matter of course? ”

"Of course, I plan to take the opportunity to brainwash you, so that when you see me in the future, I will kowtow three times first."

"Who wants to kowtow to you! You think you're really my stepfather! No, stepdad won't kowtow to you either, okay! ”

Bai Xiaoli angrily slapped away Jiang Zheng's hand that was stretched out to his head and rubbed it, as if he was rebelling against the oppression of patriarchal tyranny.

But at this moment, she didn't realize that the tension just now had long since disappeared.

The whole person not only became relaxed, but even walked on the five-colored stone walkway with a pace that he didn't recognize.

After seeing this scene, Su Mei next to her couldn't help but squint, and her gaze at Jiang Zheng became even more intriguing.

Before this, Su Mei just thought that Jiang Zheng was an ordinary high school student, and because of his shit luck, he happened to grow up with Shen Yunyi, and that's it.

But now, after a period of contact, she found that this person is really magical.

Jiang Zheng is both cynical and clever, and sometimes has some whimsy.

It will always make people angry, and at some point, it will inadvertently show care and care.

How exactly should you describe it...... It's a weird guy anyway.

Just as Su Mei was thinking this, the three of them had already led Lao Duan to the door of the main hall.

At that moment, the palatial dark wooden gate opened from the inside.

A petite figure with a broom and dustpan in his hand floated out silently.

It's floating, not walking, probably because the wide skirt blocks the movement of footsteps.

It may also be that this person has some unique skill in walking, so that he seems to be floating when he walks.

The moment he saw the figure float out, Xiao Lizi was first frightened.

But in the next moment, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Because at this time, the one who pushed open the door and came out was actually a young and beautiful little maid.

The little maid in a black and white maid dress was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

If you look closely, her non-powdered facial features are as cute and peugeot as a doll.

The inky short and medium-sized hair is trimmed neatly, and there are no superfluous decorations on the body.

With such a dignified work outfit and a cold expression, it inexplicably looks a peculiar sense of coldness and nobility.

So much so that the moment she saw this little maid, Xiao Lizi's first reaction was "What a professional maid sister, she must be very neat and able to keep the house in order."

However, when the little maid had just pushed the door and walked out, Lao Duan, who was leading the way in front, looked at the broken vase slag in her dustpan, frowned, and said:

"Mi'er, you've broken the vase again, it's the third time this week."

“...... Fourth, to be exact, there was a time you didn't see it. ”

Facing the old housekeeper's questioning, Mi'er's eyes were not panicked, and she even replied in a calm and comfortable tone.

Well, for a moment, the little chestnut didn't know what to do to react, because the broken vase in the dustpan looked very expensive.

And Jiang Zheng said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, I didn't expect Miss Mi'er to be so clumsy." ”

Although this little maid was different from Lao Duan, she was a newcomer who had only come to work in the Shen Family Courtyard about a year ago, but Jiang Zheng had also seen her a few times.

is different from the delicate, cold, neat and capable appearance, Mi'er's brain or hands must have something wrong with something, or there are problems.

So much so that she either broke this or messed up that, making people wonder if Mi'er had to pay her employer to repair the house every month.

But probably because Miss Shen is particularly tolerant in this regard, Mi'er has been working until today.

And it's still clumsy to this day, which is also a wonder.
