The days when I was a maid in another world

After seeing everyone leave, Emilia approached Anna and me, glanced at us and said, "Do you know why you were promoted?"

Of course we both shook our heads together.

"Because the lord is sympathetic to both of you." Emilia said earnestly, "It stands to reason that maids who have been proven to have unclean hands and feet will be kicked out of the house, such as Judy who was kicked out last night. Can you two Being left behind means that the lord does not believe that the two of you stole something, but the thing was lost in your hands, and you must take responsibility."

After Anna heard this, she nodded in agreement. Although I didn't think so, I couldn't argue, so I nodded along with Anna.

"After the two of you have deducted the arrears of compensation every month, you have nothing in hand, so the lord decided to take this opportunity to ask you to raise your salary, so that there will be a little left after deducting the arrears."

The new job will increase our monthly salary. If the deduction is as it is, I will have 5 copper coins left, and Anna will have 10 copper coins left.Although the lord's "kindness" is too childish, it is a good thing for Anna.Therefore, this is also a good thing.

"Emilia, thank you Lord Lord for us." I pretended to be sincere and said, "Anna and I will work hard."

Emilia nodded at me and said, "It's good that you have this kind of heart. Alright, go get busy."

After Emilia left, Anna said to me: "Donnie, I will give you three copper coins every month after receiving your salary."

I was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she wanted me to take more, and the reason was that she still felt that she was burdening me.

I smiled and rubbed her head, and said, "No, I'm alone. I just have to eat and eat. There's basically no place to spend money. Send all the money you save back home. , they need the money more.”

Her eyes were a little wet, and she said "Donnie..." and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, go to the kitchen to report!" I patted her shoulder lightly and urged, "Remember, don't let those old employees bully you!"

She nodded, then waved at me and headed to the kitchen.

Seeing her enter the kitchen, I also turned and walked to the laundry room.

***

I don't know who's taking over from Anna and me, I just know that this new job is causing me a lot of headaches.

A post-it note was taped to the door of the laundry room, on which Emilia wrote me a task: clean the curtains in all the guest rooms on the second floor.

Think about how big the floor-to-ceiling windows are, and you will know how big the curtains are.And there are so many guest rooms on the second floor, each room has at least two windows... God, how many curtains do I have to wash?

Emilia must be making things difficult for me, it must be.

Despite all kinds of reluctance, I went to the second floor.It happened that Hai Li was cleaning the corridor, so I pretended to be friendly and greeted her: "Haile, let's go down to have breakfast together later."

Hai Li gave me a blank look, and said eccentrically, "Don't dare! I'm a low-level maid!"

This woman not only loves to gossip, but also loves to be jealous. There is really nothing to like about this woman.

It's not that I have to talk to her, seeing her virtue, I simply don't bother to talk to her.

After entering the first guest room at the end of the corridor, I began to step on the chair to remove the curtains.Although the white gauze curtains looked clean, the floating dust on them still fell on my face, making me cough repeatedly.

Moreover, the wide curtains are very heavy, and two curtains in one room are enough for me.Looks like I'd have a hard time getting those curtains into the laundry room.

When I finally got all the curtains into the laundry room, I was sweaty from exhaustion, and I was quite disheveled and dispirited.

After washing my face in a hurry, I rushed to the small cafeteria to have breakfast.

The others had obviously been here for a long time, and a few had even finished their meal.Anna sat at a table outside, looked out frequently, and immediately waved to me when she saw me enter the door.

Seeing that she had already helped me get the meal, I hurried over to sit beside her and thanked her.

"Is it all right?" she asked.

"It's okay." I nodded and asked back, "Where are you?"

She also nodded and replied, "Very good."

I know that her side should not be much better, after all, it is the first time to contact the work of making pastry, and I will definitely be constantly ordered by the pastry chef, and maybe I will be scolded for not understanding or making a mistake.She must have had a worse time than being unattended on my side.

But I believe she is so smart, she will get used to it slowly.

After the two were silent for a while, I took the initiative to ask her something: "Anna, can you tell me how to wash the curtains..."

My clothes have always been sent for dry cleaning, and the small ones are also washed by hired aunts. I only learned how to wash clothes after I came here and peeped at Tasha's laundry.

But right now, the curtains are so big and the material is different from our uniforms. I'd better ask Anna, after all, she has been doing housework since she was a child.

Anna said with some puzzlement, "Just wash it normally!"

"Okay, I get it now."

Actually, I don't know, but I think it's just a curtain. Even if it's not washed well, no one will notice it when it's hung up.Anyway, just mess with it.

***

In the laundry room, I was struggling to wash the curtains.

There is no washing machine, and I can't take off my shoes and stand in the cold water with my feet, so I can only rub them with my hands bit by bit.The washtub is big enough, but you can only wash one curtain at a time, and it is very troublesome to wash off the suds from that old, simple washing powder.

I struggled all morning and only washed out four curtains, which was both depressing and hard work.

When it came to drying in the backyard, I ran into trouble again.It was very difficult to hang the huge curtains on the drying rack, and one of them had to be rewashed because it was covered with dirt because of a corner.

Just when I kicked the clothes rail angrily, Argel happened to walk over.

"What's the matter, so angry?"

"You came just in time, help me hang up these rags!"

Alger couldn't help laughing when he heard what I said, and then he took the curtains in my hand and said in a low voice: "If someone knows that you said that the curtains in the lord's house are rags, you will probably be punished!"

"Just to tell you, it doesn't matter." I replied with a rogue smile.

He glanced at me with a smile, didn't say any more, and quickly helped me hang the curtains.

"It's time for lunch? Go back quickly," he reminded.

"Indeed." I picked up the curtain that needed to be washed again, and said goodbye to him, "I'm leaving, I hope to see you in the afternoon, after all, I still have several curtains to wash in the afternoon."

He suddenly laughed out loud, and said with some helplessness: "You just said what time do you want me to pass by here?"

I calculated the time and said, "Three o'clock, 03:30 at the latest."

After all, it has to be dried for a while before the sun goes down, otherwise it will be watery and impossible to take back at night.

"Well, I will just pass by here at three o'clock. If you don't come, I can rest for a while before leaving."

This is really a convenient position. Fortunately, he can walk around in the name of patrol alone, otherwise, who will help me.

"Then it's settled, see you this afternoon!"

After finalizing the matter, I happily left.

In the afternoon, my cleaning work went smoothly.The only thing that made me a little depressed was meeting the indifferent Madeleine.

She is an exclusive handyman. In addition to cleaning the third floor, she is also responsible for washing the lord's personal clothes.

When she came to the laundry room with the lord's clothes in her arms, I greeted her kindly: "Hi, Madeleine, are you here to do the laundry too?"

She glanced at me, but nodded coldly without answering.

Although she has always been lonely, proud and indifferent in the eyes of everyone, I still can't help but want to talk to her, who makes her so beautiful.

After I washed a curtain, I spoke again: "Madeleine, can you help me? This curtain is too heavy, and it is difficult for me to lift it by myself. Can you wring the water out for me?"

She glanced at the curtains half in my hand and half in the sink, and replied flatly, "How did you wash the curtains by yourself?"

I was so choked by her that I couldn't answer for a while.

It is said that women have "long hair but short knowledge" and "big breasts and no brains", but the woman in front of her is obviously wise and beautiful!Oh no, wisdom, beauty and figure coexist!

Such a beautiful woman can be forgiven even if she is withdrawn, proud and indifferent. Compared with her advantages, these shortcomings are nothing. If I were the lord, I would not be willing to let her be a maid, but directly promoted to be a mistress!

I coughed lightly and tried to explain: "Because I have consumed too much physical strength before, I am a little powerless now, so I want you to help me."

Still unmoved, she refused coldly: "You can figure out a way for yourself, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, she swayed away with a small basin of washed clothes.

That back is so beautiful!It's a pity that she is too unreasonable, and she will never try to make the lord happy if this continues.It can be seen that high IQ does not mean high EQ.

After Madeleine left, I was left alone in the laundry room to continue cleaning the pile of rags.Finally, I washed all the curtains before 03:30, and then hurried to the backyard in case Alger couldn't wait to leave first.
