Chapter 284 Medieval Clowns <5>
It was the first time for this whole family to live in such a luxurious manor, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep the whole night.
Early the next morning, they looked around the Duke's mansion.
There are grandparents, parents, an older brother, a younger brother, a younger sister, and even a married sister.
The elder sister brought two more children with her, and the whole family, a total of 11 people, wandered around the manor.
A woman in a gray dress said excitedly: "Oh my God, this place is too luxurious."
His son was so excited that his face flushed, because he was extremely excited at the thought that he might inherit this mansion.
He looked at his mother and said, "This is the Duke's residence. There are only eight Dukes in the whole of England. How can it not be luxurious?"
Another wrinkled old lady said, "Our family is more closely related to the Duke. We may be the heirs of this place."
Once the family thought of this possibility, they became so excited that they seemed to have pink eye.
Nonsense, how can this not be exciting? You know, they are in the countryside, and the whole family is almost dying of poverty. How poor are they?
A large family in the countryside only earns five or six pounds a year. After deducting the expenses, they can't save even a shilling in the whole year.
There is no way, because the current Duchess is a poor boy. She was originally a poor boy, and her relatives are naturally poor boys as well.
No one knows which generation it went astray from, but by the time they realized it, it had already become what it is now.
The adults were fine, they were in high spirits. Everyone was so excited that they wanted to take over the entire mansion in one breath.
When they thought that this might soon be their property, they couldn't sleep or eat, and they were as excited as if they had taken drugs.
But there are children here. The two children brought by the elder sister soon opened their mouths and burst into tears.
"Wow - Mom, I'm so hungry!!! I'm so hungry, I want to eat! I want to eat!!!"
"Mom, I'm so hungry! I want to eat!!!"
Their mother, who was also the eldest sister, immediately hugged them with a distressed look on her face, "Okay, okay, we'll eat right away. We'll eat right away."
As she was thinking this, a maid suddenly passed by with a basin in her hand. She immediately called out to the maid angrily.
"That maid, you, come here!!"
It is worth mentioning here that the maids and servants in the Middle Ages were very different from the servants and servants in our ancient times.
This requires educated and good-looking people to do this, especially personal servants, who sometimes even have to read letters for their masters. It is absolutely impossible for someone who is illiterate and uneducated to do this.
Let’s put it this way, the dream of almost every country girl is to be able to work as a maid in a noble family.
The maids in noble families were given maid uniforms made of top-quality materials, and they also had handmade lambskin shoes, two pairs of which were given each year.
This is something that many country girls dream of but cannot achieve.
So when the maid was rudely called down by the other party, she immediately rolled her eyes impatiently.
But he was a guest after all. Even though she was very unhappy in her heart, she still walked towards him.
"Hello, do you have any instructions?"
This was the first time Ruth was called "you", so she immediately became excited and her chest heaved up and down.
But she was so excited that she raised her head with a smug look on her face and spoke to the other party bluntly.
"We are hungry, take us to the restaurant for dinner now."
Maid: "..."
Are these people crazy? It's only early morning, and they're not sleeping, but they're wandering around the mansion, and they're cooking so early.
The kitchen is still preparing at this time, there is no food at all.
With this in mind, the maid said to them respectfully, "I'm very sorry, guests. There is no breakfast in the mansion at this time. You can go to the restaurant and wait for a while."
When they heard her words, the whole family jumped up and down, led by Ruth and her cousin Tom, who had the right of inheritance, and they jumped up and down wildly, shouting and cursing.
"How dare you! Do you know who we are? How dare you talk to us like this."
Maid: “???!”
What's wrong with her? Although she hates this group of people, she has a very strong professional quality and is still very polite when treating them.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged woman with silver hair walked over. She wore a pair of round glasses with small lenses on her nose and a silver chain wrapped around the legs of the glasses.
She was tall and thin, with her long gray hair neatly tied behind her head. She looked at the guests and spoke.
"Hello, may I ask what can I do for you?"
Ruth looked at her with disdain on her face, "Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Grace looked at her and smiled slightly, "I am the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion. I think I should still have the qualifications to speak."
Ruth: "..."
Oh, so it’s a housekeeper. Forgive them for being an ordinary family, but this is the first time I’ve seen this profession.
But even if they were housekeepers, so what? They were guests, and a housekeeper, to put it bluntly, was not a kind of servant?
"Oh, we are hungry and need to eat, but...this damn maid actually dared to say there is no food!"
This is the Duke's mansion, this is a noble family, how could there be no food? This sounds like a lie.
"Ah~ So that's how it is. Madam, you may not know that there are rules for when to get up and when to eat in the mansion. There is really no food at this time."
Of course there are. After all, rules are dead, but people are alive. It is impossible for the Duke to be hungry and want to eat but have no food.
She took a leave yesterday and went back to her hometown in the countryside. When she returned to the mansion today, the servants told her what the young lady had instructed in the mansion yesterday.
She has already sat in this position, what is the purpose of the lady doing this? It only takes a little thought to understand.
In that case, as long as the young lady is still a young lady, she will definitely stand with the young lady.
Ruth raised her eyebrows and said in a sharp voice: "Impossible, do you look down on us? We are the guests here, we want to eat, don't you understand?!"
Fang Li came over at this time, "Someone, get them out!"
