Lao K’s luggage is very simple, just a handbag and a backpack. As the steward of the Polly family, he has no personal property and serves his master wholeheartedly. But I didn't expect that I would drag my tired body back to my hometown with nothing.
But he has no regrets, he has integrated into the Polly family and become a part of it. The cleaning lady who raised him passed away many years ago. He has no relatives. The only person he cares about in the world is Asashi, the eldest daughter of the Polly family.
It is said that Asashi and her daughter were imprisoned in the Noble Prison of Black Feather City and lived a miserable life in darkness. According to the aristocratic practice, if Marquis Haitang was willing to pay a considerable ransom, he could redeem their mother and daughter, but Marquis Haitang did not do so. Maybe the ransom was too high, or maybe Marquis Haitang didn't care at all.
But what can be guessed is that Duke Zilan wanted to use their mother and daughter to humiliate Marquis Haitang and make the wealthy families of the Silver Claw Principality feel chilly.
After returning to the Deer Hunter Hotel, Lao K quickly got into the role, standing upright next to Chen Xing, looking straight away. The two maids could not help but be infected by the serious atmosphere, and their original little actions also restrained a lot.
Lao K did not boss them around. On the contrary, he was gentle and treated them with courtesy. A feeling of being respected arose spontaneously. Coupled with the fact that Lao K is tall and handsome, his charm has not diminished due to age, but has gained the stability and depth of a mature man. Facing Lao K's courtesy, Ye Qian and Li Mei, who were born at the bottom, were both a little flattered, their eyes were filled with brilliance, and their words and deeds became much more restrained. Chen Xing looked a little worried, feeling that his charm had been crushed and the woman's favor had been robbed...
However, Chen Xing is very satisfied. A truly good teacher teaches by words and deeds, rather than relying on his status and qualifications to point out and rely on his seniority.
"I first arrived in Ice Blue City and I don't understand many of the rules, so I asked the teacher for more guidance." During the dinner, Chen Xing said to Lao K who was standing next to him.
"You don't need to worry about anything. There are no rules in Ice Blue City, only money and strength. Those so-called respectability are just a fig leaf." Old K said.
"I like to hear this." Chen Xing grinned, then became a little worried, "But, is this really appropriate?"
"You are a person with real abilities. Don't worry about those parasites. Their recognition is worthless." Old K bowed and said.
"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded. Hearing these words, whether they were true or not, made him feel quite relaxed, and the gloom he had felt over the past few days was swept away. During this period of time, he was even careful about eating, for fear of making a fool of himself.
Chen Xing picked up the wine glass, took a big sip of red wine without any scruples, and then asked, "Then what should I pay attention to?"
"Respect each other, have a clear stand, each performs his duties, and each has his own place." Lao K replied and poured Chen Xing another drink. His movements were steady, and he poured the exact amount of wine—one-third of the capacity of the goblet.
"Is this enough?" Chen Xing couldn't believe it.
"That's enough." Old K paused and then said, "But it's not easy to really achieve these four points."
"Hmm..." Chen Xing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Indeed, some truths are said every day, but they are difficult to implement.
"By the way..." Chen Xing suddenly looked at the two maids, "Call Lao Ji and find a better tailor. I want to order a white floral-cut dress and a pink shirt."
After sending away the two maids, Chen Xing asked Lao K about the palace maids. After receiving the title of baron, he was given a palace maid contract document and could go to the Royal Maid Academy to select a palace maid. Since it involves the addition of a new maid, who is more professional, it will definitely cause a sense of crisis for the two women.
Old K looked at the watch and said, "Today is the 22nd, and tomorrow happens to be the last day of the bidding day this month. You can go and have a look."
The 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of every month are the bidding days of the Royal Maid Academy. Nobles in need can bid for their favorite maids with contract documents. If you miss it, you have to wait until next month.
"What, bidding, you still need money?" Chen Xing said in shock. He thought it was free and free of charge.
"Yes, the minimum aid is 20,000 gold coins, if there are no competitors." Old K replied.
"Twenty thousand gold coins!" Chen Xing was shocked. Twenty thousand gold coins are equivalent to 20 million on earth.
"Palace maids are at least quasi-elite. After the dedication ceremony, their lives are completely handed over to their masters. The college needs to compensate their families with a large amount of money." Old K explained.
"That's right..." Chen Xing thought carefully. If it was to buy a life, twenty thousand gold coins was really not much. But then again, if there is a bidding, 20,000 gold coins is just the minimum price, God knows how much the princes and nobles can get.
When dinner was almost over, the two maids came back with the tailor. This tailor's shop is located in the Deer Hunter Hotel and is one of the hotel's supporting services. Chen Xing told him his request, and the tailor immediately measured the size for him and promised to make it overnight and deliver the clothes early tomorrow morning.
The price of the clothes was twelve hundred gold, which was extremely expensive.
The next day, Chen Xing put on the most fashionable attire in Ice Blue City, took the hotel's carriage, and arrived at the Royal Maid Academy located southwest of Ice Blue City at 9:30 in the morning.
The college is located on the bank of Ice and Snow Lake, far away from the main road for horse-drawn carriages. There is only a narrow dirt road leading to it. It is surrounded by woods, making it quiet and elegant. From the outside, the building is white and translucent, with sharp edges and corners, and one or two red lines, making it look like a dignified girl sitting by the lake.
Walking into the campus, a fresh smell hits your face. Everything you can see is well organized and spotless. There was not a single weed in the flowerbed, not a single dead leaf on the tree. The water bottles and cups were arranged neatly on the ground, and a replacement sports coat was placed next to it, also folded squarely and meticulously.
On the playground, a group of girls in white clothes and trousers are running, facing the scorching sun, youthful and bright.
"This is a student from the 10th class. There are still three years left before graduation." The teacher in charge of the reception introduced to Chen Xing, "The palace maid enters school at the age of ten and graduates at the age of eighteen. There are eight grades in total."
"Every palace maid must go through strict screening. Regardless of body, appearance, and ability, they will be selected at all levels. Only the best maids can graduate here."
Chen Xing nodded to express his gratitude and was listening, followed by Lao Ji and Lao K. Naturally, he did not bring Ye Qian and Li Mei with him here.
Not long after he set off, the two women were whispering in the room.
"Master has gone to choose a maid, right?" Ye Qian said with a certain amount of confusion and a certain amount of certainty.
"Then why didn't he take us with him?" Li Mei asked stupidly.
"You're stupid. Those vixens are much more professional than us. They spent eight years studying to learn how to serve men." Ye Qian said with a bit of unwillingness.
"It's a lie. How could such a person exist?" Li Mei didn't believe it.
"Oh, what's stuffed in your head? It's okay to read more books, otherwise you won't even know if you sell it to others." Ye Qian said with disgust.
"It doesn't matter even if this is the case. What's wrong with having more sisters?" Li Mei asked doubtfully.
"Hey, my aunt, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? When she comes, will there still be a place for us?" Ye Qian said angrily.
"Why is there no place for us?" Li Mei still didn't understand.
"I am a student in a major, chosen from thousands of people, and I am still a virgin. Are you a virgin? Don't you know about men's things? You like the new and hate the old. You only know that the new ones laugh, but you don't know that the old ones cry." Ye Qian said quietly.
"What's there to argue about?" Li Mei asked strangely, "At the celebration banquet that day, who was not better than us, the eldest lady of the Ye Yang family, or sister Su Na? We couldn't compete even with ten heads. . I think we can just play our part and share our duties, so why bother fighting for those who have something but don’t have it.”
"You have only grown ten heads, you are so ugly." Ye Qian said scornfully, and then said, "We are maids, not wives. We fight for ours, and they fight for theirs. It is not the same thing if the water of the river does not interfere with the water of the well. Son."
"Sister, it's wrong for you to think like this." Li Mei's expression became serious, "Uncle always said that as a person, you should know your duty, be content with what you have, don't think about unrealistic things, and fight for those things you ask for. Boring face."
"Then, if he ignores us and sleeps with that woman at night, then, what should we do?" Ye Qian said a little aggrievedly.
"You bastard!" Li Mei spat at her, "He has six clones, plus seven of himself. Do you think you were tortured enough by him that day?"
Ye Qian lost her voice immediately, as if she remembered something, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
On the other side, Chen Xing walked into the gymnasium led by the reception teacher.
"drink!"
A crisp and sweet shout came, and Chen Xing's eyes were involuntarily attracted.
I saw a maid standing in the middle of the field, surrounded by a circle of maids. She was wearing a red, white and black battle maid outfit, holding a sheathed patterned sword in her hand, and a short one on her waist. In the Ying people's sword system, the long one is called Da Dao, and the short one is called Richa. It can be seen from the scene on the field that she defeated her attackers with only the scabbard.
Her medium-long black hair hangs down on both sides of her face, with bangs reaching up to her eyebrows. A red ribbon is tied behind her hair to gather part of her hair.
Under the bangs, the eyebrows are flying sideways, and the narrow red phoenix eyes are clear about love and hate. The collar of the shirt is tied with a red ribbon, with an agate stone in the middle. The skirt is held up high, at least a C cup. The waist is full, the legs are slender, wearing long white stockings, and a pair of shoes at the feet. Wearing high heels that are over eight centimeters, the whole person looks clean, sharp and heroic.
Realizing that Chen Xing was looking at her, she immediately put away her sheathed sword and bowed to Chen Xing. Although his face was cold and unsmiling, his actions were pious and serious, without any slightest hesitation. When the maids lying around saw it, they also got up and saluted Chen Xing despite their discomfort.
"Jianyue Canglian, the pride of the academy!"
The receptionist introduced the topic loudly, his expression and tone full of pride.
"I want her!" Chen Xing pointed at Jian Yue Canglian and said.
The receptionist was stunned for a moment and seemed to have no reaction.
"How much?" Chen Xing said proudly, "I want it!"
"This..." The receptionist looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"Ahem..." Lao Ji's cough came from behind him, and Chen Xing immediately woke up. How could the pride of the academy get his turn, as a fledgling little nobleman?
Are all the princes, princes, princes and grandsons above dead? I really think too much...
"I'm sorry, sir, she is a student in the first and second year and will graduate next year. Moreover, she is a top student and has to wait until the annual school festival before she can bid." The reception teacher was also a good person and quickly found the steps. Give it to Chen Xing. Chen Xing was not a fool, so he immediately cooperated and said, "Haha, I'm sorry, I was anxious. If you want to blame it, it's because this classmate is too good..."
Everyone laughed, and the matter was over.
"laugh……"
Suddenly, a discordant sneer came from behind. Turning around, he saw a handsome young man standing by the door with his pockets in his pockets, a superior and arrogant look on his eyebrows, a contemptuous smile on his lips, and his eyes fell on Chen Xing without restraint, as if he was looking at a person. fool.
Behind him was a man with a sharp mouth and a somewhat mean face. The young man should be a nobleman, and the person behind him should be his steward.
Seeing the young man, the receptionist's face instantly turned cold, as if he didn't like him very much.
Facing the provocation, Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when a gentle force came from his shoulders. That was Old K's hand, and the meaning was very clear, telling him not to conflict with the other party.
Chen Xing immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
"Huh, even a toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't even urinate and look in the mirror..."
There was a whisper from behind. Although it was not loud, it could be heard by everyone present. Chen Xing clenched his fists and then released them. This icy blue city is full of gods and Buddhas. If you can bear it, you can bear it.
After turning a corner, Old K whispered from behind, "The lord of Silver Claw Principality and the youngest son of Marquis Haitang, Wei Qinghai."
"Don't worry, he's just a scum." the receptionist whispered, with unspeakable hatred in his tone.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.
"In less than a year, there is already the sixth maid. What does he think of our place!" the receptionist said through gritted teeth.
"I don't understand what you mean." Chen Xing asked.
"Wei Qinghe only has the title of baron and can only have one palace maid at the same time. Unless the maid dies, she cannot apply for a new contract." Old K explained.
As he spoke, there was strong hatred in his eyes, "None of Wei Haitang's three sons is successful. Wei Qingshan has a narrow character and is determined to retaliate for his anger. Wei Qinghe is unsentimental and selfish. Wei Qinghai's temperament Cruel, he failed to pursue girls when he was in school, and raped others and cut them into pieces. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Wei Haitang was a cancer himself. He indulged his three sons and took care of them if anything happened. If it weren't for him, Bo How could the Li family end up in such a situation! It’s hard for them to be sincere and loyal, yet end up like this..."
Speaking of this, Lao K burst into tears and couldn't help himself.
"Alas..." Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a little sad. In this world, there are always things like killing people and setting fires with gold belts, building bridges and paving roads without skeletons, which makes people sigh with regret.
Sensing that Chen Xing was in a low mood, Lao K wiped his eyes vigorously, regained his composure, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Don't let this make you feel bad."
"Yes, today is a happy day." Lao Ji also advised.
"The two old men are right, don't let your mood get bad because of a scumbag." The receptionist greeted, "Come, let's go look at the selection list."
