Be a mermaid after 1000 years

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the window sill, a new day begins again.

The servants of the Hernand Duke's mansion started to get busy early in the morning. Butler Chardy was a strict and self-disciplined person. As his subordinate, no one dared to neglect their duties.

After the old butler got up, he combed his hair meticulously, and carefully checked the cuffs, bow tie, trouser seams and leather shoes, making sure to be perfect. You must know that as the butler of the Duke's mansion, his image is very important. It is precisely because of his persistent and rigorous style that he has been able to make no mistakes for decades.

Finally, he put on the platinum and diamond pocket watch that the Duke gave him. This was a commendation of his years of hard work. Before the birth of Lord Blanche, Chardy had already worked in the Duke's mansion.

When he walked to the window, the gardener was pruning the branches in the yard, and there was a slight sound of sweeping from the corridor. The housekeeper was very satisfied, everything was under his leadership, and it was strictly implemented step by step. What a beautiful day.

However, when Chardy thought of the new duchess, the corners of her raised lips suddenly drooped again, and the bright sunshine was not as cute as it looked.

The mermaid family is an extremely lazy race. Their ancestors lived in the depths of the water for generations, enjoying inexhaustible natural delicacies. They have the beauty and fertility bestowed by the gods, so that they can relax leisurely without any hard work and work. enjoy life.

Motan humans and mermaids have lived together on the same planet for tens of thousands of years. They have been interdependent and have multiplied to this day. In the past 20 years, Motan has had few wars and lived a comfortable and prosperous life, while mermaids have become more and more unbearable. , They are willing to accept, but unwilling to pay, greedy for all good things, but don't know how to cherish, especially mermaid nobles, most of them are pampered and willful, selfish, extravagant and flashy, unfortunately, most of them The Motan people are still indulging in their beauty and don't know how to wake up.

Xia Erdi habitually pulled the vest, and when he wanted to stick to a certain belief and idea in his heart, he would subconsciously cheer for himself.

Well, since that Zoe Ives has married into the Duke's Mansion, it is natural to abide by the work and rest schedule of the Duke's Mansion. Sleeping upside down is absolutely not allowed here. The only exception in the entire mansion is the Duke. My lord himself, much to the old steward's relief, the duke enjoys few privileges.

Chardy looked at his watch when he went upstairs, but he didn’t actually look at it. He also knew it was 06:30 in the morning. Come on, this is a matter of course in Xiaerdi's view.

He walked to the door of Li Miaowei's bedroom, stopped, took a deep breath, kept the rhythm of three and one pauses, and started the morning call.

Five minutes later, the housekeeper became angry. This black fish didn't take him seriously enough. Even if he didn't want to get up early, he should respond to him.

"Sorry, ma'am, Chardy has come in." If the mermaid of the Elvis family thought this little trick was going to repel Chardy, then he was thinking too simply.

The butler opened the door and saw that there was no one on the bed, and the bed was neatly made, as if someone had slept there. Could it be that Madam spent the night in the Duke's room last night?As soon as this thought came up, Xiaer Di dismissed it. His Excellency the Duke would never allow that mermaid to enter his bedroom.

A cleaning servant walked lightly through one end of the corridor, and was stopped by the housekeeper Chardy.

"Jessie, did you tidy up your wife's bedroom just now?"

Jesse shook his head, lowered his head and replied: "Mr. Shardy, I just came up and haven't started working yet."

"Then have you seen your wife today?"

"Today? Not yet."

"That's all right, go to work, move gently, don't wake up the Duke." The butler whispered.

Schaldy wondered if the Elvis merman slept in the pool all night last night, which would make sense why his bed looked like it hadn't been touched, the former Duchess was like that , and sometimes sleep in Lake Vin in the territory at night. For this reason, the Duke specially asked someone to customize a hut that can be submerged in the water, with all the equipment in it. People used it, and it is probably still in the warehouse of the castle.

Chardy hurried to the swimming pool, but he still couldn't find anyone, so he went around to the garden again.

"Albert, have you seen the Duchess this morning?"

The bearded gardener stood on the ladder, smiled and said: "When I first got up, I saw him swimming with his mermaid servant. Later, when Madam saw Edson passing by, she went up to chat with Edson. Now maybe In the kitchen, what's the matter, Mr. Chardy?"

kitchen?Why a kitchen?The butler waved his hand, not in the mood to answer the gardener's question, isn't the kitchen one of the places where mermaids hate to go?There is oily smoke and sharp knives, all of which they hate.

Before Xia Erdi reached the door of the kitchen, he heard a young boy's voice laughing and said: "Uncle Edson, the shape of the fried eggs you made is so beautiful, it looks like, like a work of art!"

"Madam, thank you for your compliment. It's actually very simple." Edson's humble voice sounded hypocritical.

"I know fried eggs are easy, but it's not easy to cook them so beautifully."

"If Madame wants to learn, Edson can teach you."

"Really, that's great, let's start now, huh? Good morning, Housekeeper Chardy, have you just woken up? Do you want to have breakfast? I've already made some, but it's a pity that it's not as good as Uncle Edson's." Eat." As soon as Li Miaowei turned around, he saw Xia Erdi, and he smiled and sincerely invited.

Edson also stopped what he was doing, turned around, and said good morning to the housekeeper.

There are already several fried eggs, bacon, small fish cakes and toast slices on the dining table. It seems that they are not made by Edson, but they are still passable. The mermaid named Didi is sitting at the dining table, supporting himself with one hand. She dozed off on her neck, and still held half of a leftover fish cake in her other hand.Xia Erdi's face was not very good-looking, especially Li Miaowei's "did you just get up?" almost pierced his heart. The housekeeper gritted his teeth and decided to get up half an hour earlier tomorrow, hum!Really pissed off, Chardy turned and left without saying a word.

"What's the matter with Butler Chardi?" Li Miaowei was sure that he didn't offend him today, no, they just met for less than 2 minutes.

Edson shook his head. Even he didn't know why Mr. Shardi was upset again this time, but it was undoubtedly related to the new lady next to him. It seems that the butler encountered a setback.

Edson felt that the butler was a bit stubborn. According to his observation, the new lady had a good personality. At least she was approachable and friendly to the servants. Mrs. Yi took the initiative to say good morning to every servant she met on the road, which was quite rare among the younger generation of aristocratic mermaids. However, Edson was not sure whether the new lady's 'good character' could How long will it last.

Thinking of this, Edson turned his head slightly and looked at the Duchess's eyes. The new lady seemed to like to smile very much. Whether it was the focused smile now or the hearty laugh just now, it made people feel happy, as if Feeling a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart, Edson couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth. Maybe, the Duke really picked the treasure this time.

06:30, it was time for the servants to have breakfast. Everyone temporarily stopped their work. Today’s breakfast did not look very good. When everyone learned that the breakfast was made by the Duchess herself, everyone’s eyes showed A trace of mixed emotions, it is worth mentioning that the butler Chardy did not show up, he hid in his room and ate a plate of almond cookies sadly, the weather today is too unsatisfactory.

After Li Miaowei had breakfast, he returned to the swimming pool. Didi sank to the bottom of the water and continued to feel drowsy. He got up early yesterday and got up earlier today. Didi felt that life in the Duke's Mansion was not as good as living in the Elvis River Shu Tan, however, the young master seems to be living quite comfortably, and his personality has become a lot more cheerful. No wonder people say that people who get married will change a lot, so it is true.

Li Miaowei mentioned to Didi about being invited to the palace tonight. As his only personal servant, Didi would definitely go with him.

At first Didi listened casually and was not very focused, but when he heard that he was going to the palace, he immediately became excited.

"Is it a royal dinner, a royal reception, or a ball?" He asked hurriedly.

Uh... is there a difference between these?

"I didn't ask." Li Miaowei scratched his hair in confusion.

"Ah, master, why don't you ask the Duke clearly, different occasions require different costumes and makeup, don't make a mistake! Last time Miss Emily attended a masquerade ball, she took the wrong mask , was ridiculed by those sea mermaids for a long time, which made her girlfriends dare not stand with her."

Li Miaowei decided to ignore the word makeup. He didn’t know who Miss Emily was, but obviously, it’s not a good thing for the nobles to get together. He lost interest in the royal invitation tonight, and wanted to see the world. , but let him squeeze together with a group of peahens and peacocks to compare whose tail is more beautiful, Li Miaowei really thinks, it is better to let the queen out of the palace, let her go to the restaurant to make a hot pot of pickled cabbage and fish to make it lively and comfortable Woolen cloth.

He spit out a few bubbles in boredom, and replied: "My lord Duke said that his aunt wants to see me, Housekeeper Chardy should know."

"Well, then it should be a relatively private family gathering. The invited members are usually relatives of the royal family and the queen." As he spoke, Didi started to waver again, "Maybe we can see Ka Prince Xiu."

Li Miaowei didn't dare to ask who Prince Kaxiu was. He might be a well-known celebrity, just like the handsome Prince William in England, whose every move attracted the attention of the world. I read the newspapers over and over again, and I don't think he is more handsome than myself, but I am surprised that he has countless fans.

"What's so good about him?" he asked insincerely.

"Master!" Didi exclaimed, "Didn't you always admire Prince Kaxiu? He is known as the most beautiful person in the entire Motan planet!"

ha?Although Didi used the word admiration, Li Miaowei always felt that the real meaning he wanted to express was admiration, and his goosebumps popped up all of a sudden, mother, why should a man want to like another man so well? Well, this kind of thing may be normal on the planet Mortan, but now, even if that prince Kaxiu is a peony flower, he is not happy to be that piece of cow dung that nourishes the flower.

Li Miaowei asked cautiously: "That...he knows me?"

Didi was instantly discouraged, and said listlessly: "I don't know him. That time he passed by the young master without even looking at the young master. Didn't you still feel sad for this for a long time? After Prince Kaxiu became an adult, the past few years He seldom appears on social occasions, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor sent him to serve in the army, and he can only be seen occasionally at some family gatherings of the royal family, and our baron's mansion definitely has no chance to be invited."

Oh, oh, that's okay, Li Miaowei patted his chest, it turned out that it was just a crush, not an old lover or something.
