Domineering exposed

2056年3月14日7:05AM希顿第四街区。

Compared with the First Avenue centered on the Empire State Building, the number of real nobles in Heaton's Fourth Street is already pitifully small.Most of the people here are city handymen, or down-and-out aristocrats exiled from the aristocratic circle.They live in a small building similar to a tube building, and go out to work every day crowded and noisy. At night, when all the nobles fall asleep, they return with a meager salary—sometimes they are lucky enough to meet a kind lady or young lady , They can usually get a good dinner, but more often, they can only come back hungry, eat something to fill their stomachs, and then rush to sleep.

They have no supernatural powers, and because of the mistakes made by their parents or grandparents, they were exiled to Fergole, where they lived on the edge of the most prosperous city in Fergole.

Petty bourgeois always have petty bourgeois fun. After dinner, women who usually don't go to work will get together in twos and threes, gossip about some accomplishments, or show off which distant relative of theirs did it in a certain nobleman's house. Things like the second housekeeper, they usually talk about the poverty of southern cities with superior contempt, and at the same time carefully hide their yearning for the noble men in "that building" outside Ertiao Street.

In the past three years, they have had a new topic—the mysterious tenants in Granny Figuero's building.They don't dress well, but they are obviously out of tune with the people here.There are always people guessing that they are down-and-out aristocrats from the south. The women carefully look out of their windows, seeing their comings and goings will excite them for a while, and then they will never tire of guessing whether they have done what they feel. things of interest.

"Good morning, Sang Rui." The natural light just started to work. A woman with a white cloth wrapped around her head greeted her neighbor. She glanced at the neighbor who was bending over to wash the dishes in the public sink for breakfast. Putting down the box in his hand with a slight exaggeration, "Oh, dear, if you are free today, maybe you would like to help me peel the apples?"

Her female neighbor turned off the faucet and fixed her eyes on the box of fruits at the woman's feet, as if she didn't see her showing off, raised her eyebrows: "Where did you get so many fresh apples, Ace?"

"I received an invitation from Lord Hill's secondary kitchen, and I heard that their butler likes my apple pie." The woman named Ace raised her waist and said triumphantly, "That's a lot of money , dear Sang Rui, if you are willing to help me, I will pay you some fees."

"No, no, thank you, Ace. But I really don't have time today." Sang Rui replied cheerfully, "I have to go for a walk around the city with Sinrad, she needs a new dress." Sinrad is Ruisang's daughter is 15 years old this year. She is bright and lively, and she is not ugly except for some freckles on her cheeks. She is a lovely girl and the pride of Sangrui's family.

Sang Rui didn't intend to hide her neighbors: "The Blair family has recruited maids for the fourth block this year, and I want Sinrad to try it."

Hearing this, Ace immediately put down the box of apples in his hand, and screamed without concealing his jealousy: "The Blair family?! My God, Sang Rui! Your ambition is really big!"

Sang Rui smiled gently. She turned over the silver tableware in her hand, washed it down with water, and put it in another clean basket beside her: "Oh no, Ace, how can this be called ambition?"

"I heard from the lady next door that your daughter has already made some friends with those tenants of Mrs. Figuero - some of them are even handsome. Why are you still not satisfied?" Ace said unceremoniously. explain.

Sang Rui stopped what she was doing, and looked into her neighbor's eyes showing her surprise.At this time, it can be seen that this woman named Sang Rui is indeed a beautiful young woman. Although the years have made her skin no longer as lustrous as a girl's, this cannot conceal some of her golden curly hair. Inherently elegant, she wiped her hands on the bib uneasily, opened her lips, wanted to say something, but finally closed them feebly.

Sang Rui's helpless look made Ace think that she had successfully taught her ignorant neighbors a lesson, and she said with some pride: "Sinrad is indeed good-looking, but she is obviously not enough to climb up to the man in that building." Greg."

"She doesn't need to climb anyone." Sang Rui squeezed the bib tightly, interrupting Ace's words, "My daughter, she doesn't need to climb anyone!"

Ace let out a giggle like a hen, and she bent over exaggeratedly: "You have always raised your daughter as a nobleman, haven't you?" She glanced at the basket next to Sang Rui, "Including those of your daughter Special silver tableware, I guess, which family did you steal it from? Hmm? Maybe there will be a totem of that family on it."

As if being told, Sang Rui's face turned pale, and she hurriedly picked up the small basket and turned to walk into the house.Ace yelled loudly behind her: "For the sake of neighbors for so many years, Sang Rui, I will not report you!"

"—what happened, Mrs. Ess?"

A gentle but slightly cold man's voice sounded behind Ace.

The old woman was surprised to find that she could still feel hot in her ears like a young girl. She stroked her hair and turned around quickly, showing a kind smile: "No, nothing happened—good morning, Mr. Lu."

A man in a dark green military uniform stands in a narrow and crude alley with the backlight, and the natural light source shines from behind, making him taller and taller. Too good white gloves, both look glamorous.

Ace was a little dizzy to find that at this moment, this man from the East was indeed talking to him. He seemed a little embarrassed, his cold face changed slightly, he turned away uncomfortably, and the natural light source almost magnified Those tiny, lovely features on the side of his face—

"No, Mrs. Ace, I'm just a third-level entourage in an ordinary noble family. Don't call me by such a title." Lu Yuchen said awkwardly.

"Anyway, it's always good to have a steady job - and anyway, are you going to work?"

Lu Yuchen had no choice but to change the topic with a nod, instead of continuing to argue: "Yes, do you need me to help you move this box of apples into the house?"

"I don't think so, just let them stay there." Before Ace finished speaking, the conversation was suddenly interrupted by cheerful laughter from the building around him——

"Mr. Lu! Good morning!"

Like a cheerful bird, the 15-year-old girl Sinrad rushed out of the stairs like a gust of wind.She went straight to Lu Yuchen's arms, but the huge momentum did not make the man's steps move a little bit, but this movement made the thick braids behind her messy.Lu Yuchen gently placed a lock of golden curly hair for her, but this most natural action made the girl blush.

"You are already 15 years old, Sinrad, you have to look like a big girl." Lu Yuchen reminded.

Sinrad pouted his lips in dissatisfaction: "No, but you didn't say that when I was like this last year!"

"But it's different now. If you're going to work at Blair's house, you have to learn some etiquette."

"Speaking of this!" Sinrad's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lu Yuchen's hand, but she didn't notice that the man froze subconsciously, but quickly restored herself to nature, and she chattered excitedly, "Will you accompany me today?" Shall I go shopping for decent clothes for the interview?"

"...I'm afraid I can't, I still have to go to work." Amidst the girl's disappointed murmur, Lu Yuchen said regretfully, "Maybe you can go to fat uncle, he is always free, uh, it hurts everywhere."

Sinrad opened his eyes wide in horror: "You're not serious, are you?"

Lu Yuchen silently withdrew his hand from the girl's, he was serious.

"What advice do you expect from that man who wears big underpants all day long?" The girl almost screamed. On top of her head, Mrs. Sang Rui pushed open the window and blamed with a smile: "A lady Don't scream casually, my daughter."

"Okay, sorry, Mom." Sinrad hung his head in frustration.

Lu Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "He is still a big underpants in front of you?"

"For God's sake, when did he not have big pants? I even found out he doesn't even wear underwear!"

Lu Yuchen: "..."

Mrs. Ace, who had been unable to get in the conversation and had to wash the apples, sneered, lowered her head and muttered something like "rude".

At this time, a chubby body came out from another building humming a song with toothpaste and toothbrush in hand: "Captain—I want to eat buns in the morning—"

Lu Yuchen: "..."

"Excuse me, young man...thank you." Wang Aiguo rubbed against him and walked towards the faucet, "I just said that this alley is too narrow, meeting people in the front and then touching the butt."

Sinrad raised his chin at the fat man next to the faucet: "Here, look."

Lu Yuchen: "Comrade Wang Aiguo, can you pay attention to the influence?"

"What?" The fat man asked vaguely with his toothbrush in his mouth.

"There are usually ladies everywhere here, so you just walk around in your pajama pants?" Captain Lu closed his eyes unbearably, "I heard you don't even wear underwear."

"..." The fat man turned off the faucet, glanced at the grimacing Sinrad, and commented: "Female rascal."

Lu Yuchen felt that his sleeves were about to be pulled off by Sinrad, he shook his head helplessly, and the fat man stared aggrievedly: "What! Is what the fat man said wrong? If she doesn't look at my bird specifically, she can know I'm not. Underpants?"

"Your one!...so big! You can see the shape—" Synrad shouted back.

"I'm sure I don't want to hear it anymore." Lu Yuchen said blankly, "Go on, goodbye."

"Ah, where's my bun?" The fat man was dumbfounded.

When Lu Yuchen passed by him, he took out a few Heaton coins from his pocket and stuffed them into his hands: "Go and buy them yourself." After finishing speaking, he strode away without looking back. His working place is about [-] minutes away from here. There was a block where he used to walk to work, and the two clutch shifters were kept well in the house, and no one ever used it from the time Lu and Chen disappeared until he came back.

That thing is too high-profile, although Lu Yuchen likes it very much, but he has not forgotten that he is only a third-level entourage of the Blair family, and he can't even meet this ordinary noble core. You should live in the most fringe area of ​​the city, take the meager salary, and have the most humble status.

For the last three badges, he never left the city. He tried his best to stay on the edge farthest from that person.

That's fine.

A year passed and nothing happened.

Since coming to Fergolie, Lu Yuchen has never felt so at ease as now.
