Chapter 6 Butler
At night, the housekeeper asked Liang Xi to come to the restaurant for dinner.In addition to the people from the law firm, there were other nobles and even representatives of the royal family who ate together.Nobles and royals will come to the manor tomorrow morning to attend the funeral, and today they are the second generation of nobles and the second generation of emperors.They went to the manor first to express their condolences to their relatives.

Liang Xi didn't like this kind of courtesy the most. It only takes 5 minutes to eat a steak, and 10 minutes for the courtesy during the period.Even if no one cares about me, I still have to listen to the courtesy of 5 minutes.Dining with these distinguished children, you will leave if you feel embarrassed.Liang Xi was embarrassed, but he didn't want to be embarrassed.So Liang Xi sat alone on a chair in the back garden, enjoying a piece of food and a glass of lemonade brought by the maid alone in the night breeze.

This is not the first time Liang Xi has helped John with a case.Over the past few years, John has become more and more lazy, and has given Liang Xi all the work that can be given to Liang Xi.Every day John sits at home and reads the newspaper.Even in addition to meeting old friends, John and Mary only walk around the house.Forget it, John gave Liang Xi a job that didn't make money, and didn't discuss remuneration.

Of course, Liang Xi knew that John was reminding himself to know more people and people in the upper class, but Liang Xi was not interested in meeting people in the upper class.He felt that it was impossible to be friends because of the different classes.What?Can the upper class support you and give you a chance?If Lao Tzu wants to sell his face, he might as well turn his career into Robin Hood, a rogue thief, stealing things to help the poor.Who is the poorest?Of course he is the poorest.It doesn't matter if you have money or not. The key is that as a Robin Hood, you must abide by the principles. Who makes you know only a poor ghost like yourself?

A melodious violin sound came from the side, and Liang Xi couldn't help walking towards the music.The soft moonlight and the beautiful melody are perfectly integrated, making people stop and don't want to leave.The player closed his eyes lightly, unaware that someone was approaching, and was completely immersed in his own world, mesmerized.

No, the player is not a beautiful girl in a white evening dress, let alone a princess.It was a gardener, a male gardener, a fat uncle in his forties in overalls.The melody is soft and the picture is inconsistent.Besides Liang Xi, the only audience was the gardener's wife.

At the end of the song, Liang Xi applauded. Liang Xi didn't know how good it was, because he was half-voiced.But he would reason, whoever dared to play the violin in the aristocratic territory must have a few brushes, applaud first.

The gardener was very embarrassed, and humbly shook hands with Liang Xi and apologized for disturbing Liang Xi.The gardener's wife brought tea, and the two began to chat.After chatting for half an hour, Liang Xi basically solved the case. He knew who stole the will and guessed the accomplice.But he didn't have any evidence in his hand, and he couldn't confirm the identity of the accomplice, let alone whether the new will had been destroyed.

……

Earl's Manor has two guest rooms and several separate guest rooms and villas, which are specially used for receiving guests.Such as the royal family or the powerful children, the housekeeper arranges them to live in the elegant villa.The children of nobles are sent to Building A, and the rooms, facilities and services here are no worse than star hotels.In order to cope with the funeral, the housekeeper specially hired the chefs and professional service staff of the hotel temporarily.

The staff of the law firm live in Building B. The conditions are relatively simple, but they also exceed the standard rooms of ordinary hotels. There are also professional hotel room service personnel who provide services for them.

All this is called face, and no money can afford such a face.Therefore, the gap between the nobility and the nobility will gradually be reflected.Losing their wealth, nobles with empty titles will take the line of civilianization, appearing to be close to the people, and at the same time use the pretext of being close to the people to cover up their lack of wealth.On the contrary, the nobles who have mastered the wealth strive to maintain everything that a noble should have, so as to build an insurmountable identity gap between themselves and the rich merchants.

Building C is far from Building AB. It is the accommodation for the staff of the manor, and the conditions are not bad.Such as housekeepers and maids serving the main residence, who have their own dwellings in the main residence, ready to respond to the earl's greetings.The maid lives on the first floor, and the housekeeper lives in the side room on the second floor.Why do you say it's stylish?This is a real noble manor, and it must have a style, although Liang Xi didn't know what the style was.

Guests started to come to the door today, and there were many things to do, so the housekeeper was very busy.Liang Xi waited quietly drinking tea on the first floor. When the housekeeper returned to the main residence at [-] o'clock in the morning, Liang Xi greeted him: "Is it convenient to talk about it?"

The butler remained standing and replied, "Of course."

The housekeeper asked Liang Xi to sit down, and Liang Xi said, "In the middle of the night, disturbing others' rest. Why don't we go to your room and chat? If it is convenient."

The butler kept smiling and said, "I've worked in the manor for 30 years, and it's the first time I heard that someone wanted to come to my room to chat with me, and it was at one o'clock in the morning."

Liang Xi was ashamed and said, "Being in the market, I don't know how to be polite."

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Liang Xi said: "Even if I don't know how to be polite, I insist on going to your room to have a chat now. Is that okay?"

The housekeeper looked at Liang Xi for a few seconds, then nodded: "Of course, please."

……

The housekeeper hung his coat on the coat rack, and Liang Xi had already entered the room.Really impolite.Not only that, Liang Xi also rudely looked at the entire living room, and even tilted his head and glanced at the bedroom.

The housekeeper didn't care, closed the door, and asked, "Isn't Mr. Liang a lawyer from Cook Law Firm?"

Liang Xi nodded: "No!"

The housekeeper asked, "Detective?"

Liang Xi thought for a while, and replied, "It's not a detective. The detective work is paid. I'm just a person who was blamed for running errands."

The housekeeper seldom came into contact with such common sayings, and it took a while to understand the meaning, and he couldn't help laughing: "Please take a seat."

Liang Xi sat down, and the housekeeper also sat down: "May I ask Mr. Liang what is the matter with me?"

Liang Xi asked, "Do you need a process?"

The housekeeper said, "I need to get up early tomorrow."

Liang Xi nodded: "Then I will directly point the question: Please hand over your will."

The butler asked back, "A will?"

Liang Xi said: "You said you would get up early tomorrow, and now I have to start explaining again."

The housekeeper looked at Liang Xi and said, "The first time I saw you, I knew you were a detective. But I don't understand what a will means."

Liang Xi said, "No way?"

Butler: "I really don't understand what a will is."

Liang Xi said, "No, I mean, I'm like a detective?"

The housekeeper replied: "From the point of view of you paying attention to people and objects, and judging from my many years of experience in watching people: either a detective or a thief."

Liang Xi thought for a while: "What did we talk about just now?" These eyes are too poisonous.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "The will."

"Yes, will." Liang Xi said: "I analyzed everyone's situation, and I don't think the four children of the Earl have stolen the will."

The butler asked, "Then what?"

Liang Xi clapped with his right finger in his left hand: "You don't even care about the theft of your will." I caught you and found the right person.

The housekeeper didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "Since you have found me, I am all ears."
