Chapter 53 makes a brilliant debut
Inner city.
9 Second Avenue, Pompeii Estate.
The morning sun is full of vitality and seems to light up the whole world and rejuvenate it.
The door of the manor made a long creaking sound, and someone was pulled open from inside.
Four or five maids worked together to open and secure the door, and an old man who looked like a butler walked out.
He raised his white-gloved hand, adjusted the dark blue tie on his chest, and waved to the maids.
"Professor Yulei will be here soon, don't embarrass the Viscount."
"Yes, Mr. Binoz."
The old butler stood straight, with his hands folded in front of him, standing by the door, quietly waiting for the distinguished guest to come.
Second Street is in the heart of the inner city, and the people who live here are either rich or wealthy. As a result, the surrounding environment is quite good. Whether it is green plants or layout, it gives people a sense of comfort and high-end.
Compared with other places in the inner city, the buildings here are more beautiful and grander. The buildings are far apart and the view is wide, which is refreshing.
In addition, the location is high and you can overlook the scenery of the entire Amber City, prompting many middle class people to use their free time to take their families for walks nearby.
Viscount Pompeii was a low-key person and was not well known to the public in the inner city. This Pompeii estate stood on Second Street for many years, but few knew what was inside.
"Hey, look over there."
Several young women wearing light yellow shirts and brown skirts passed by.
They are students from Hypericum Girls' School nearby, and they are carrying standard leather bags in their hands.
One of them pointed at the gate of the Pompeii estate, attracting the attention of his companions.
"Are there any guests coming to the house of Viscount Pompeii?"
"Oh, did you forget about Miss Rebecca in the second grade? She didn't listen to the advice during the outing and broke her leg while riding a horse...
I eavesdropped on the conversation between my mother and her friends. Viscount Pompeii found her an excellent tutor, who I heard was a scholar in a public college. ”
Another female student looked surprised and stunned, and whispered:
"No wonder Mrs. Meghan has a bad temper in class recently, mostly because she was not invited."
"Giggle..."
Several female students covered their mouths and laughed.
At this time, a carriage drove slowly and stopped at the gate of Pompeii Manor.
The groom wearing a top hat got out of the car and lifted the curtain.
A middle-aged woman dressed elegantly came down, wearing a wide-brimmed hat on her head.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Yulei!"
The female student said in surprise.
"I know her, she is a professor at Yellow Iris College, and she also wrote "The Elk Poems"..."
"I happened to have read that book too, it was so well written!"
Several female students were talking in low voices.
"Miss Rebecca is really enviable to be taught by Mrs. Ulay."
"Who called her father Viscount Pompeii..."
When the old butler Binoz saw the middle-aged woman get off the carriage, she walked forward with her head held high.
"Mrs. Ule."
He saw the other party taking off his leather gloves and was about to kiss his hand.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage again, and under the eyes of everyone, a tall and handsome young man walked out.
Wearing a black suit with a short felt shawl and a black top hat.
He slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked around.
After seeing the group of female students, he gave a polite smile.
"Oh! My God! Who is this gentleman?"
"He is so handsome..."
Butler Binoz was suddenly stunned.
I don’t know who the young man in front of me is, but he came in the same car as Mrs. Yulei.
Immediately, Binoz felt a heavy weight on his hand. He looked down and saw that Mrs. Yulei had already handed over her hand.
"May the sun shine upon you, madam."
He kissed the back of his fingers and blessed.
When Mrs. Yulay put her gloves back on, Binoz looked at her suspiciously.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, this is my good friend, Mr. Jack."
Mrs. Ulay introduced Binoz.
The old housekeeper nodded, shook hands with Chen Lun, and said a friendly hello.
"But...Mrs. Yulei, the Viscount has invited you alone for dinner today."
Binoz said politely, pausing with emphasis on the word "alone."
He guessed in his heart that this pretty boy with a glamorous appearance might be Mrs. Yulei's lover.
But based on his understanding, Mrs. Youlei couldn't be so rude. It was most likely that this pretty boy had heard that she had been invited by Viscount Pompeii and came over to her with a calm face.
There are many people in the inner city who want to curry favor with the Viscount Pompeii.
"Oh, I think Viscount Pompeii won't mind."
Mrs. Ulay smiled.
Binoz was unhappy and glanced at the black-haired young man without trace.
The latter noticed his gaze keenly and responded with a polite smile.
"Mrs. Ulay, I believe you also know the reason why Viscount Pompeii invited you..."
"Yes, I know very well."
Mrs. Ulay interrupted Binoz, then made an apologetic gesture and continued to add:
"That's exactly why Mr. Jack is here.
I have been unwell recently and may not be qualified to be Miss Rebecca's tutor, but I recommend him. ”
"Him? This...sir!?"
Binoz looked like he had seen a ghost.
Not to mention that he had never met this young man, let alone heard of his academic achievements. Let's just say that with his appearance and age, he doesn't look like an outstanding scholar at all.
Even if Mrs. Ulay recommends it, the Viscount will never agree.
"Let me explain this matter to Viscount Pompeii personally, Mr. Binoz."
Mrs. Yulei said softly.
The old housekeeper was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"Follow me, you two."
He and several maids led the way, leading Mrs. Youlai and Chen Lun into the manor.
The path extends deep into the manor, and the wide lawns on both sides are like grasslands, covering a very large area.
Chen Lun looked at the surrounding environment with interest as he walked.
Based on the clues, he went to Yellow Iris College in advance to find out the news about Mrs. Yulei, and squatted in front of her house. Finally, he used the hypnotic ability of "Siren Song" to successfully get into the carriage.
A lot of energy was expended during this period.
In order to rush for time, he frequently used the hypnotic necklace, which also caused his sanity value to be more than half at this time.
Holding back the dull pain in his head, Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, we got in. The next step is how to convince Viscount Pompeii to be her daughter's tutor...
If that doesn't work, just use [Siren's Song]. ”
But he vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.
The manor was very large, and Binoz led the two of them to walk for more than ten minutes before arriving at the entrance of the villa.
"You two, the Viscount and Lady Pompeii, and Miss Rebecca are waiting inside."
He pushed open the brown wooden door and extended his hand to guide it.
"Please come in."
"Thank you."
Mrs. Youlay nodded and thanked her, held on to her wide-brimmed hat and walked in.
Chen Lun followed closely behind, and when passing by Binoz, he also nodded to him.
The old housekeeper looked at the young man calmly, thinking in his mind that he would be kicked out by Viscount Pompeii in a while.
"Another whimsical guy."
Beauties, it’s too far south...(o·o)
Failed to advance for two consecutive weeks because there was not enough follow-up reading=(ω)
It is your messages and interactions that support Maru*(ˊˋ*)*
The pursuit of reading this week determines whether the third week is still in the status of discontinuation. Maru is shameless here and asks for the pursuit of reading. Recommendation means exposure and achievements. I hope you can understand (person)
In fact, I really don’t like to make oblique comparisons in the text, which affects reading, so I will say more at once... Beauties, please leave more comments and vote. Your support is a great motivation for Maru! (˙˙)
Thank you! |'-')
