marriage list

Since ancient times, the castle has been a mysterious existence, it is inseparable from war and religion, and has different architectural styles in different periods.

Tang En, who always reminded himself that he was an old man in his 50s, followed Ferdes into Eisenley Castle.

As soon as I entered the range of the castle, I felt a gloomy atmosphere. If it is said that the weather outside is cloudy and rainy, then here is another kind of heavy rain.

The castle is located in the southwest of the main city, and its geographical location is definitely at an advantage. It is surrounded by green mountains and green waters, but it is too quiet, giving people the feeling of being gloomy and cold.

The cold air rose from the soles of his feet. Tang En, who was absolutely independent and didn't need others to help him get off the carriage, shrank his neck. Matching his current appearance, he was indescribably wretched. Fordes had a calm demeanor, and he couldn't feel Tang En's attitude at all. A weird old man.

Carrying the luggage, he followed Fodes step by step to the depths of the castle, which is the main residence of the castle.Fordes did not introduce the structure and layout of the castle to him, although the former felt that it was unnecessary, but the latter felt that since the other party could be called an adult, he must not be allowed to do these small things, and now he can only learn to hold Tails are human beings, in order to survive, and in order to possibly have a few years left.

As Tang En thought, Fordes still has a high status in the castle. Now Tang En is just a new employee, and it seems that he is not qualified to enter the hall. He also feels that his extremely simple outfit and the noble and indifferent castle here Doesn't quite match.

Fordes pointed to a male servant who was coming out of the hall wearing a neat and spotless uniform. The man bowed respectfully to the former: "Master Fordes."

Fordes felt arrogant to others, raised his chin slightly, and said in a master-like tone: "This is the new butler Tang En, you take him to see Ahib, he knows how to arrange it."

The young manservant continued to maintain a respectful attitude and nodded: "Yes, Lord Fordes."

Tang En, who was carrying the old suitcase, thanked Ferdes, and then followed the young male servant to walk from the corridor to the servant's residence in the castle.

I thought the young man was a serious person, but to my surprise, Tang En just asked his name, and he seemed to start talking non-stop.

"My name is Teuton. I am 20 years old. Apart from the arrival of a new maid the year before, this is the first time I have seen a newcomer enter the castle. What's your name?"

"My name is Tang En."

Teuton stroked his chin and said excitedly: "Master Fordes said that you are the housekeeper. I understand. Butler Hiab is really too old. He has too few teeth, and he can leak air when he speaks. No wonder he needs to get a new housekeeper." , he should have retired long ago."

Tang En, who was following around the corridor, suddenly felt that the corridor should be cut off. It was really long, as if there was no way to go to the end.

The noisy Teutonic reverberated through the empty corridors. Tang En felt that it would be better to talk less and do more. Maybe he knew why Fordes didn't choose a butler from the castle. Teutonic was very gossip and innocent. Don't know the sinister heart of people.

Tang En didn't answer his words. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on others. Maybe his own image is not good now, so it would be bad to say more.

After walking for another 5 minutes in this huge castle corridor, Teutonic finally brought him to the leaky butler Ahiber, and relayed what Friedel said, and then left to do things.

In order to make a good impression on the old man, Tang En put his luggage at his feet and said politely, "Hello, Housekeeper Ahiber, my name is Tang En."

For polite children, old people will like it.

But the butler Ahiber, who was over seventy years old, was obviously an exception. He was a weird butler, leaning on a curved cane to look up, down, left, and right. His body was very healthy and his eyes were shrewd.

"Ever been a housekeeper before?"

"No." Tang En replied truthfully.

"Since Master Fordes chose you, there must be his reasons. Starting today, you will take over my position, and I will tell you the main content of the job."

"Thank you butler."

Ahiebel had a crush on this man who was over fifty, his old face moved, and he seemed to be smiling.

"I'll take you to your room first."

"Ok."

Tang En's room is right next to the one where Ahib lives. It's just a very ordinary servant's room. There is nothing special about it. If there is any difference, it probably has an extra hall than the other rooms. The one-story house was much better, and Tang En was quite satisfied in his heart. It was better to have a place to stay than to sleep in the open.

After the luggage was put down, Ahib took Tang En to the clothes washing place with a cane, and told him that the clothes washing place didn't fully wash the clothes. Except for the laundry servants, there were special staff here to make uniforms for the servants, and they would be issued twice a quarter. set.

In fact, the work of the laundryman is not much. The laundry process of the castle owner's daily change of clothes is more complicated, but as long as the castle owner remembers to wear that suit, he can put it back in the cupboard.

Ahiber brought Tang En to know the master tailor who made the uniforms, and gave him two sets of uniforms that were quite different from the usual male servants. There were exquisite hang tags on them, which looked like badges. This was the symbol of the housekeeper. It also means to distinguish it from the male servant. The butler is actually just a senior male servant.

Tang En, who had put on a new uniform, looked quite refreshed. The clothes the tailor gave fit him perfectly, and he wanted him to stand in front of the full-length mirror to take a picture. Tang En had no choice but to look at the old man in the glasses, feeling lighthearted. With a sigh, wearing a dragon robe is nothing but a bad old man.

Although the old butler was on crutches, his walking speed did not decrease much. Tang En tried his best to follow behind him and listened to his airy introduction of the castle's history and current owner.

"Twain, your most important job is to take good care of Earl Kellier. He is the owner of the castle. In addition to Earl Kellier, there are also Lord Fordes and Lord Dunis living in the castle. They are both Earl Kellier's Cousin, Earl Kellier's fiancée, Heatherway, will come to the castle every other month, and then you have to do a good job of welcoming her, without any mistakes, and ask the servants to clean Miss Heatherway's room."

Tang En followed behind and silently wrote down the work explained by the old housekeeper. He listened very carefully. If possible, he would also like to use notes to write down these contents, but unfortunately reality does not allow it.

On the first day in the castle, he just got to know the surrounding environment first. Tang En didn't discuss the salary with the old housekeeper either, presumably the salary wouldn't be too low.

At noon, the old butler took Tang En to the servant restaurant. The meal time here is usually on a rotation basis. It is necessary to ensure that there are enough people in the castle. They eat steak at noon. The chef's craftsmanship is very good. The old butler told him that most of the employees during the day They are all resting; the male servants work in three shifts, and some of the female employees work on the day shift and some on the night shift.

There are not only servants in the castle, but also knights, they are to protect the safety of the entire castle including the lives of the masters.Their actions are methodical, just the way they have always been, without much modification.

In the afternoon, the old butler didn't take Tang En around anymore. He asked Tang En to rest first, adjust his mind well, sort out all the content introduced today, and the key points of the explanation. As a housekeeper, he still needs to have his own principles and majesty .

Obviously, after changing his clothes, Tang En and his old face with the same expression made him look majestic, which was probably one of the reasons why Lord Fordes chose him.

In the afternoon, Tang En simply tidied up the room and put his few clothes into the cabinet. During dinner, Teuton invited him to dinner and introduced other employees who were having dinner to him. It's friendly.The noisy Teuton almost said all the employees he had met, and repeated it as if he was afraid that Tang En would not remember. The latter had to admire him. Such a gossip can survive in such an environment. A lot of enemies.

Teutonic was on the day shift this week. He said that he would take Dunn around the castle whenever he had time, and familiarize himself with the environment here. Maybe he hadn't found anyone to complain or complain about for a long time. In short, before Dunn closed the door of the room, Teutonic's voice It was also very clear that this reminded Tang En of the sunny boy a few days ago, at least the sunny boy didn't gossip so much.

Still need a good night's sleep.

Maybe it's because I've been eating bread recently, and I ate eight-rare steaks for lunch and dinner. As soon as Tang En fell asleep, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He put on some clothes and ran outside. Fortunately, he inquired about the distance from his room when he was taking a bath at night. the nearest toilet.

After explaining the important physiological issues, Tang En walked back to the room with the moonlight reflected on the ground through the mist. He didn't need to run at this moment, he was thinking about tomorrow's affairs while admiring the moonlight.

Suddenly, the moonlight above his head was blocked, his vision suddenly became blurred, his raised foot paused, and then he put it down and landed on the ground.

That huge black shadow was enveloping him, and it had a sweet smell in it, and it rushed into his nostrils. Tang En couldn't see the face of this huge monster clearly, and behind him was like a cloak or a kind of Animal wings.

Tang En secretly swallowed his saliva.

I saw the huge monster approaching him, with light footsteps, and its large wings could almost trap him.His head was close to Tang En, and he sniffed around his neck. After sniffing, a low and deep magnetic voice drifted over.

"A new human? The skin is really wrinkled and crippled."

Tang En stiffened his body: "..."

It was identified that the person was a male, and he was a male who could talk. Before Tang En could react with resistance, the strange, light and sweet smell dissipated.

The man turned his head sideways, and his profile was reflected in the moonlight. Tang En only saw the bulging upper lip of the man, which was probably the gum.

After the huge black shadow disappeared, Tang En suddenly realized in his heart: It turned out that the other party had buck teeth, and he came out at night because he wanted to use the dark to hide his ugliness...
