Be a mermaid after 1000 years

In the study, butler Chardy was preparing to report to the Duke the daily expenses of the mansion this month. Seeing the old butler's hesitant expression, Blanche said clearly: "Is it overspending? It doesn't matter. I'll see you next month." Double the quota."

At the beginning of this month, he has already relaxed the quota once. Two new mermaids have moved into the family, and the expenses will inevitably increase greatly. This is unavoidable. Before Teresa was there, the monthly purchase fee alone reached several million Luso, of course, this is not a big deal in the circle of aristocrats. Comparisons are common in the upper class, and many aristocrats are unwilling to lose one due to their high foreign debts.

The Hernand family has always had a tradition of diligence and thrift in housekeeping and opposed excessive extravagance and waste. That's why after hundreds of years, the family has not only not declined, but has accumulated a huge amount of wealth. The descendants have developed the vice of arrogance, extravagance and licentiousness, and the rules set by them were considered a noble virtue in the past, but now, in the eyes of the nobles, the Duke has become a miser. What they don't know is that the Duke's Mansion Privately, large sums of money are donated each year to charities and temples.

Blanche took the ledger handed over by the housekeeper, opened it, and was stunned. The amount was not overspending, and it was much less than he originally estimated. The three biggest expenses were the daily operating expenses of the swimming pool. And the cleaning fee, the cost of the destroyed golden velvet grass, and the hospitalization fee of the little black fish this time.

Blanche looked through the list, was silent for a while, and asked, "Did he buy anything?"

Butler Shardi nodded, and replied: "Yes, not only did not buy anything, even the menu for three meals was reduced by two-thirds."

In this regard, Blanche has been eating with his wife for the past few days, and he has already felt that the number and variety of dishes have shrunk significantly, but in fact, after subtracting two-thirds, it is just right for two people to eat, and there is no waste at all.

He stood up and walked to the window, from which he could see the entire backyard. That guy was chatting with Didi by the pool, one was talking eloquently, the other was confused, Blanche was a little curious, and Open the window to the maximum, and the voice of conversation can be heard in the distance.

"So, Andora's Tears is actually a very educational song and dance drama. It warns young people three things. First, to be kind, to be honest and kind, and not to have bad intentions, or God will I will also come to clean you up. Second, girls must know how to cherish themselves. Of course, boys are the same. You must know that falling in love with a villain may ruin your life. That poor mermaid girl is the most typical example. The last point... ..."

"Wait, master, why is what you said different from what the newspaper said?"

"Huh? Is it different? How come! Oh, I see, are you reading that entertainment newspaper again?" As he spoke, a certain Heiyu curled his lips in disgust, "Cut, that kind of gossip stuff Can you take it seriously? They also said that Maurice and I are lovers. Yesterday I watched it seriously for two hours in the theater. I explained even the Duke to him. How could I lie to you! "

"Well, that's true, then young master, you can continue."

"Where did you talk? Oh, last point, Didi, you must remember that when someone insists on giving you something, you must doubt his intentions and think carefully before accepting it, just like last time... ..."

Blanche closed the window with black hair and sat back in the chair.

The butler didn't hear the convulsions outside the window, so he pondered for a while and asked again: "My lord, will Madam still withhold the monthly payment for next month?" Posture, but still struggling.

Blanche snorted, and whispered, "Even if you give it to him now, he might not accept it. He's so stupid, he's not likable at all."

"Sir, what did you say?"

"It's nothing. You don't need to ask me about the monthly payment. If he needs it, you can give it to him. If he doesn't accept it... From next month, raise Didi's salary."

The butler smiled a little, bent over, and said, "I see, my lord, then I'll go out first."

"Wait a minute, Chardy, I've agreed with him to go out and look for a job, don't make trouble this time, Remy's lawsuit has just begun."

"I understand, but, my lord..."

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Blanche looked up.

"My lord, you have to work hard!"

Butler Chardy said this encouraging word seriously, and opened the door to go out. The Duke was stunned for a long time before he understood what he meant, and suddenly felt depressed. Why did people around him remind him of this recently? It is clearly stipulated, but if the wife is really unwilling, can he still bully the king?That little guy was very defensive, last night he wanted to follow up the house while the iron was hot, but he stayed in the swimming pool until midnight before returning to his room.

Blanche shook his head and started working. When he went downstairs, the little black fish was no longer in the swimming pool.

"Where's the Zoe?" he asked Dee Dee.

"The young master is probably in the greenhouse."

What are you doing in the greenhouse?He really couldn't rest for a moment. When Blanche passed the golden velvet lawn, he found that the loofah seedlings were growing quite vigorously, but the melon shed was really awkward in the back garden. It is estimated that only their family would Grow squash in the back garden.

"Zoe, I saw the loofah you planted. It's really good. The more you look at it, the more comfortable it is." As soon as Blanche entered the greenhouse, he saw his wife squatting on the ground with her back to him. Blanche hurriedly sent a flattery. However, it turned out to be a little cold, and Zoe was concentrating on tinkering with a few flower pots, her head almost stuck in the soil.

"What are you doing, so serious?"

He took two steps forward. At this moment, the little black fish suddenly turned his head and showed a big and bright smile. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, which made Blanche's head buzz. Although Zooey likes to laugh, she never Smile to him so sincerely.

"Come and see!"

"What's the matter?" Blanche was stunned for a moment, then squatted down, and took the opportunity to put his hand on his wife's shoulder.

"These golden velvet grasses are actually alive. Look here, they have begun to grow roots."

Blanche didn't listen to a word Li Miaowei said. He held a small body in his hands, and what he saw in his eyes were bright black pupils, pink cheeks and vivid expressions, as smooth as silk. His black hair swept back and forth on the back of his hands, an indescribable softness that melted his heart, and it was the first time that their black fish told him something so affectionately, it felt so cute, really Want to rub it.

"My lord, are you listening?"

"Well, well, of course I'm listening." Blanche came back to his senses, controlled the urge to be cheap, and replied solemnly.

"Housekeeper Xia Erdi said that this kind of grass is extremely expensive. I originally wanted to pawn it... Cough, cough, I originally wanted to pay you back. Since they are all alive now, I will tear down the melon shed in a while. To transplant them out again, I knew that golden velvet grass has such a strong regeneration ability, and those that were shoveled last time should all be planted in the greenhouse, so it is a pity to throw them away."

In fact, golden velvet grass is very delicate, and it is very difficult to maintain and cultivate, otherwise it will not disappear soon, but Blanche did not see what happened that day, and he didn't pay much attention to this miracle, thinking that Zoe was just A moment of good luck, just a coincidence.

"Xiaerdi is getting older, and he likes to make a fuss more and more. A little grass can be worth a few dollars. It's okay, just let them grow in flower pots. The melon shed doesn't need to be demolished. It looks good to me. Every day If you look at too many flowers and plants, you will get tired of them, next time I ask Albert to clear out that piece of viburnum, and you can plant whatever you like in the future." Blanche said very unprincipled.

Housekeeper Chardy was checking the sanitation upstairs and downstairs, and suddenly sneezed loudly. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, and said to himself: "It's strange, the quilt was well covered last night, and the sky is still there." It's warm, and I even caught a cold."

"Where is your hand touching?"

"Uh... that was just accidental, ah, when I came here just now, I saw Edson making sugar apple and cheese mousse, let's try it together!" A certain salty pig's knuckle that was about to move was finally discovered.

What an excuse!

The next day, another week begins.

Li Miaowei and Didi went to the Moon Lake Nursing Home in a carriage together. The Duke tore up the slip of paper that copied the address and phone number last time, and Li Miaowei copied a new one when he was discharged from the hospital.

"Didi, I'm not going to play, what are you doing here? You can chat with Brian in the car later, don't go in, there is no one who applies for a job with a servant!" Li Miaowei looked at the opposite side The stubborn little mermaid said with some reproach.

"No, this time you are in danger, butler Xia Erdi has already trained me severely, telling me to watch you carefully. Besides, young master, if you apply for the job, can't I also apply for the job?" On the matter of the job application However, Didi is still very confident. If there are only him and the young master, they will definitely give priority to admitting him.

"Okay, I can't say no to you, just go, remember to be obedient, and don't make trouble."

"Understood, I am measured."

Not many people come to Moon Lake Nursing Home to apply for jobs. This is a public nursing home with average conditions and grades. Due to the low cost, it accommodates three to four hundred elderly people who were born in ordinary families. Therefore, working here is not only The work is heavy and the benefits are relatively low. People with ability and nursing experience would rather apply for jobs in private nursing homes.

Li Miaowei's master and servant are very eye-catching among a dozen tall Motan people. Everyone secretly looked at them while filling out their resumes. Didi was a little embarrassed, but Li Miaowei didn't think there was anything wrong with it. A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face in front of him kindly reminded: "Well, did you go to the wrong place?"

"Eh? Isn't this the place to apply for a nurse?"

"I'm applying for a nurse, but..."

"That's not wrong." Li Miaowei nodded with certainty.

In the end, before the two of them handed in their resumes, the staff in charge of recruitment found the dean, and the two of them were politely invited to the dean's office. The white-winged carriage parked in the parking lot of the nursing home was too conspicuous. , a lot of people were watching. In fact, Li Miaowei asked Brain to park somewhere else at the beginning. As a result, this place belongs to the old city, and there was no place to park. Even the streets are relatively narrow, and during peak hours , Brian turned around at the door, almost blocking the traffic.

"Please sit down." The dean greeted warmly.

"Thank you."

"May I ask, why are you here today?"

"We are here to apply for psychological care workers."

The dean smiled, and quietly observed the two mermaids in front of him. They were both teenagers, probably the young masters of a rich family. You can't offend me, and you have to let people leave voluntarily.

"Can you show me your resume?"

Li Miaowei handed it over respectfully, the dean swept it hastily, and it was roughly settled.

"You are not yet an adult. According to the labor law, minors must first have the consent of their guardians to work, otherwise we cannot accept them at will."

"Guardian?" Li Miaowei thought for a while and said, "Well, he has already agreed."

"Oh?" The dean found the column of family members, and was startled, "This Duke Hernand is... your father?" This surname is so familiar, I feel like I have heard it somewhere, but no matter what, The dukes are all great nobles, and this person's background is bigger than he imagined.

Li Miaowei was a little embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "He is not my father, he is actually..."

Seeing his strange expression, the dean became suspicious.

"Excuse me, can you give me the number of the Duke? I want to confirm it myself."

"Okay." Li Miaowei took out his mobile phone and told the dean the direct number of the Duke's office.

Halfway through the dean's phone call, he finally remembered who Duke Hernand was. It turned out to be the big man, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. As soon as the phone was connected, the man's cold voice came: "Who is that? "

The dean bit the bullet and explained the reason for coming, and the person opposite immediately became more polite: "Yes, I have already agreed, and my wife will ask you to take care of me."

Since the duke had spoken, even if the dean didn't want to, he had no choice but to hire the duchess first.

"Well then, you come to work tomorrow. Considering that you are a mermaid, we will adopt an hourly wage system and work three hours a day. You can arrange the time freely."

"What about me?" Didi asked quickly.

Only then did the dean realize that there was still a problem here, so he had to say, "You and your wife can go together."

Li Miaowei rubbed his hands, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can I inquire about the hourly salary?"

The dean was taken aback, the wealthy family still cared about this, the old man turned his head and reported a relatively low number, if this person thinks it is too little, he just doesn't have to do it.

"Fifteen luso an hour."

"So low!" Didi exclaimed.

"It's not too low. As you know, our place is a public nursing home, and the conditions are very poor. It can only be opened so high, otherwise it won't last."

"It's okay, thank you, Didi, let's go."

Li Miaowei is a little disappointed, but this kind of disappointment is not aimed at the director. He has no work experience, and his physical strength and energy can only last three to four hours, and he is a relaxed psychological care worker. I really can't ask too much from others. They are hiring employees, not ancestors. It's just such a low salary. It's a good thing. Thinking about it this way, Li Miaowei is happy again.
