gentleman's servant

Viscount Wilson was completely smitten with Margaret, and they were almost inseparable during their time at Mormont Manor.Riding horses, picnics, parties, hunting, a man over fifty looks like a young man in love, and soon he proposes to Margaret.At a certain dinner table, he proposed to Margaret in public, and then begged Viscount Bruce to agree.

After Margaret nodded shyly, Viscount Bruce immediately led the applause, expressing his congratulations.Wilson is also rich and powerful. In order to marry Margaret, he doesn't even care that Bruce only gives such a small dowry, but asks for a high gift. It sounds like buying a woman at a big price.

It can also be seen that Margaret's beauty is not in vain, at least some men are willing to spend a lot of money for her.

Viscount Bruce was very anxious. He wanted to marry Margaret as soon as possible, even if he married this man who was older than him, because he would immediately get a sum of money to fill the shortfall.

Everything is perfect, it seems only waiting for Margaret to marry.

There was only one person who was concerned, and that was Selina, the housekeeper, especially when Margaret and the Viscountess were arguing about the dowry.

"When I got married, I didn't have any dowry. Could it be possible to bring a few servants?" Margaret seemed confident and a little aggrieved.

"You can't bring anyone, but you have to bring a man. There is a lady who brought a servant to marry!" The Viscountess couldn't understand her daughter's rude request at all.

"These servants are what I am used to. The groom keeps my favorite horse. If I change the groom, what will happen to my horse? There is also the chef who can cook oriental pasta, and Jason. I don't drink anyone's coffee."

"No, no, no."

"I made an agreement with Wilson, and he agreed. Why don't you agree?"

"That will wait until after you get married, not now."

Seeing that it was not going to work, Margaret had to sit aside and sulk.

"Mom, my sister just wants to take a few servants, let her take care of it." Catherine said quietly.

The Viscountess glared at Catherine: "No, stop interrupting."

Margaret left the room angrily, and slammed the door shut when she left.

As Christmas approached, Simon and I received a new pair of gloves from the housekeeper, who asked us to be careful with our appearance, especially at such a sensitive time.For this year's Christmas ball, Mormont Manor undoubtedly spent a lot of money, one for the noble and rich Viscount Wilson, and the other for the noble and rich Viscount Wilson.They decided to convey the news to respectable families in the surrounding counties by means of a lively Yule Ball that their families were about to marry.

Mormont Manor would be so busy that even the grooms wouldn't have time to smoke, and they'd be pulling loads of firewood from outside, in case the manor wouldn't be able to light the fireplace when there was a ball.Simon and I spent the whole day carrying firewood outside the castle, and we were both disgraced.

"Hey, have you heard? Miss Margaret will bring a few servants with her when she gets married. The designated people include Rost from the stable, Gordon from the kitchen, and of course Jason." Simon Chi Chi laughed and said: "That old man Wilson, isn't he afraid that the bride will cuckold him?"

"Simon, we shouldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of the master."

"Come on, Owen, who doesn't talk about it in the whole manor, they are the only ones who don't know." Simon pointed to it.

I looked at the upper floor of the castle and squinted my eyes: "If it gets to their ears, especially the ears of Viscount Wilson, this wedding will be forgotten. So we have to be careful, and it will be bad if we cause trouble."

"They are going to get married soon. Once they get married, even if they find out that something is wrong, they can't change it. Besides, that old bastard is old and blind, he will find it strange." Simon said sourly: "That guy Jason is really lucky .”

"Yeah, once you get married, you can't change anything." I licked my fingers. I accidentally pricked my fingers when I was holding firewood just now.

"You really don't look like a country boy, look at your delicate skin and tender flesh." Simon laughed and said, "To be honest, I really feel sorry for you. It would be nice if Baron Oscar wasn't so difficult to serve, maybe you have already become one." His personal servant, went to the capital with him, how did you make him angry?"

"I don't know, who can figure out the temper of those noble masters." I sighed.

"It's fine if you can't match Baron Oscar, but with your appearance, can't you match a 'good' woman? I remember that Mrs. Shirley has a good impression of you." Simon winked at me: "This Christmas dinner She has also been invited, and then I can help you create opportunities."

I froze for a moment, and said hesitantly, "But I also had a job that night, so will there be any problem if I leave my post without permission?"

Seeing that I was interested, Simon patted me on the shoulder happily: "Your boy has become enlightened, which is much more useful than our hard work. I have already said that I will help you. What are you worried about? As long as you are entangled in the snow Mrs. Li, what is a housekeeper? When that day comes, you can do your own work, and I will help you with the rest. "

I pretended to be very grateful and held Simon's hand: "Good brother, thank you."

……

The Christmas party has always been one of the most important parties for nobles. On this day, nobles and gentlemen in the county will be invited to the most famous nobles' homes in the county to attend the dinner. If they do not receive the invitation, it will be a shame. It will soon become the laughing stock of everyone, so this day is extremely grand and solemn.

As far as the small place of Yorkshire is concerned, Viscount Bruce is the most prestigious nobleman, not to mention it has long been reported that his family's second lady, Margaret, will announce the news of her engagement at the banquet.

Early in the morning, the guests came one after another.The nobles brought groups of servants and luggage, the gentlemen raised their horsewhips and shouted and drank, and the ladies covered their faces with fans and laughed softly.

This is the most important dinner of the entire social season, and it is important to leave the most perfect impression, if not perfect, at least decent and respectable.

So the most popular and gorgeous dresses, the most eye-catching and gorgeous jewelry, soft feather crowns, and fragrant folding fans are all concentrated here.The women are like beautiful peacocks, holding the arms of their male companions, strolling in every corner of the manor.The male companions beside them held all kinds of expensive canes and pipes in their mouths, and secretly looked at the women who were flirting with each other. A smile or a look in the eyes was a code that only they could understand.

Throughout the day I lead the way, serve wine and food, and the most I can say is, "Yes, sir (ma'am), I will follow your orders."

I am very happy to be able to receive so many guests. The degree of excitement represents the reputation of the Viscount family. I look forward to their performance and hope that everything goes well, so that such a good opportunity will not be wasted.

The protagonists of today's dinner are undoubtedly Viscount Wilson and his fiancée Margaret. They appeared at the venue arm in arm. One old and one young, they looked like father and daughter, but they were flirting with each other. , which makes people get goosebumps.

I was standing in the corner with the tray, and half of my face was burning hot from a candle in the corner.Simon came over with the tray and he stood beside me and whispered to me, "Hey man, are you still up?"

He winked not far away, and I saw Mrs. Shirley's round body.

My eyes turned from Lady Shirley to Margaret, and then to Viscount Wilson.I am not a good person, I have already received what I deserved in my last life, and this time, I swear to take revenge on these villains, no matter what they want, I will let them see but not touch, and bear the stinginess of fate in hopelessness .

Halfway through the party, after enjoying the wine and music, many people began to let go of their restraints, and even slipped out of the hall quietly, looking for a dark corner to let loose.At this time, the ladies are ready to go back and change their clothes. After a short rest, the second half of the party will begin.

I handed the tray in my hand to Simon: "I'll rely on you this time."

Simon nodded knowingly: "Come on, I'm here."

Mrs. Shirley was chatting with some ladies, looking listless.From a distance, she saw me walking towards her, so she covered her face with a fan and fanned it lightly.

"Ma'am, I'm so glad to see you again." I bowed down to salute her.

She smiled and held out her left hand to me.I hurriedly supported her and gently kissed the ring on her index finger.

In such a formal occasion, it would be indecent for a manservant to kiss the back of her hand, but no one would find it strange to think of this lady's reputation as a romantic.

"I remember you, boy." Mrs Shirley blinked.

"It's my honor, do you need me to guide you?" I said respectfully.

"Of course, the design of this manor is too monotonous. I can't find my own room every time I come." Mrs. Shirley reached out to me again, and I led her out of the hall.

I didn't take her to any guest room. Like an impatient child, I dragged her to a cold corner on the second floor, hugged her plump body hurriedly, and kissed her impatiently.

She was breathless and weak from my kiss.

"Oh God, you are so rude, you nasty bastard, I'm going to tell your master." She struggled to push me away.

I knelt down on one knee, hugged her legs, and repeated in an extremely excited voice: "I love you, I love you madly, please forgive me... Oh, I know how despicable I am, to fall in love with you like this I am not worthy of a noble and beautiful person, but I have no choice but to go crazy!"

Mrs. Shirley was out of breath, as if she was about to suffocate.I quickly stood up, hugged her tightly, and touched her through the fabric, scratching and stroking. Under this rough and powerful caress, she soon became limp and leaned against my arms.

"Oh, you fool." She said, covering her face with her hands and making a cry.

I gently pulled her hand away and kissed her, and after a while she started kissing me back.The struggling process like acting just now is necessary. The nobles usually elevate cheating to love, as if it is an indispensable step.

Although her lips are very plump, her kissing skills are really good.After a long time, she said in a slightly sad tone: "I really shouldn't do this, I really shouldn't." Suddenly she noticed a ribbon under her feet, so she pushed me away to pick it up.

She thought it was dropped by herself, but when she picked it up, her eyes widened.

I know, she saw the pattern embroidered on the ribbon, and there is no other dress like it in all Yorkshire, and it is attached to the underwear. Who would leave the underwear here?

"Who left it here?" Mrs. Shirley looked at the pattern thoughtfully. She seemed to have seen Margaret of Bruce's family wear this pattern.

"Uh... this!" I hurriedly covered my mouth, like a fool who couldn't hide a secret. .

Mrs. Shirley wrapped the ribbon around her finger: "What? Do you know whose it is?"

"I...I don't know..." I lowered my head in panic.

"You brought me here, did you bring someone else here before? Let me guess, it's the second lady of this family... Margaret!" Mrs. Shirley said aggressively.

"No! No! I only love you, Madam, and I have never come with anyone else. This is Jason and Miss..." I hurriedly stopped.

"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Shirley looked excited.

"No, please Ma'am, don't say anything, please, the lady is about to get engaged, at this time there can't be any rumors, I still want to work here in peace, please." Palely begged.

"Stupid boy, what can I say? Nothing happened here today, we haven't even met, have we?" Mrs. Shirley tiptoed and kissed my chin: "You are such a good boy, See you later, I'm going to change clothes."
