Chapter 12 Butler and Maid

what happened?

Is there something wrong with my brain or eyes just now?

No, there can't be anything wrong, I'm not a little chestnut.

Although the scene I see now has returned to normal.

But the cold and sharp ice and snow castle just now was deeply impressed in Jiang Zheng's heart.

If things go wrong, there must be a monster, but he doesn't know what kind of monster it is now.

And just when Jiang Zheng looked calm on the surface and was thinking secretly in his heart.

Old Duan, the housekeeper who was responsible for tending the garden and taking care of the daily life of the courtyard, had already opened the door from the inside and welcomed the three people in.

Old Duan is an old man who always has a cheerful face. It is said that he has served the Shen family for many years and is especially good at taking care of flowers and plants.

"Isn't this Mr. Jiang? I haven't seen you much recently."

Lao Duan knew Jiang Zheng, so he said hello to him first, then looked at Su Mei and Bai Xiaoli next to him, and said with a smile:

"These two must be the eldest lady's classmates. The eldest lady just sent a message back, asking us to entertain you well. Please come in."

Under Lao Duan's warm invitation, the three of them walked into the beautiful Shen family courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Bai Xiaoli saw a walkway paved with five-color stones in front of him.

The walkway leads directly to the door of the residence. On the left hand side, you can see the elegant pool fountain spraying clear water droplets, and on the right hand side is a beautiful pavilion garden.

The flowers in the garden are blooming brilliantly and fragrantly, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland
Wow. Wow, is this the legendary rich family?It must have cost a lot of money to manage this courtyard so beautifully.

It was the first time for Bai Xiaoli to come to such a place. He couldn't help but tightly hold Sister Mei's sleeves, curling up slightly and looking very nervous.

When he noticed her nervousness, Jiang Zheng, who was walking next to her, couldn't help but smile:
"Don't be so nervous. There is actually nothing valuable in the garden here."

"Huh? Really? But these flowers look very expensive."

"Precious is valuable, but what is valuable is not the flowers and plants themselves, but the skillful hands and wisdom of the managers."

Jiang Zheng casually picked up a gardenia that happened to fall from the ground next to the aisle and placed it in the palm of Xiao Lizi's hand.

Looking carefully, although this garden seems to be full of splendor, there are actually no exotic flowers or plants in it.

The flowers and green plants are common varieties such as geraniums, carnations, and gardenias, which are not expensive or rare.

There are even many flowers placed in discarded old porcelain cups, empty wine bottles and giant nautilus shells.

The reason why this beautiful visual effect can be presented is mainly because the garden manager has excellent craftsmanship and taste, and takes care of every detail to the extreme.

Just by looking at this garden, you can feel his love for gardening and life. This is what Jiang Zheng admires about Lao Duan.

After listening to Jiang Zheng's explanation, Bai Xiaoli was greatly surprised and exclaimed: "So this is what happened? That old gentleman is so powerful."

"Yes, when you see Mr. Duan in the future, you must respect him a little more. You must respect him as much as you respect me. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I will. Wait, what do you mean by putting yourself in naturally?"

"Of course I plan to take this opportunity to brainwash you so that when you see me in the future, you will kowtow three times."

"Who wants to kowtow to me! You think you are really my stepfather! No, my stepfather won't kowtow to you either!"

Bai Xiaoli angrily slapped away Jiang Zheng's hand that was stretched out to rub his head, as if he was resisting the oppression of patriarchal tyranny.

But at this moment, she didn't realize that the nervousness just now had long since disappeared.Not only did the whole person become more relaxed, he even started walking on the colorful stone walkway as if he didn't recognize his relatives.

After seeing this scene, Su Mei beside her couldn't help but squint her eyes, and her look at Jiang Zheng became more intriguing.

Before that, Su Mei thought Jiang was just an ordinary high school student who happened to grow up with Shen Yunyi because of his bad luck, that's all.

But now, after having been in contact with him for a while, she found that this person was really magical.

Jiang Zheng is both cynical and eloquent, and sometimes has some fantastic ideas.

While he always makes people angry, he also shows care and attentiveness inadvertently at certain times.

How should I describe it specifically? Anyway, he is a very strange guy.

Just as Su Mei was thinking this, the three of them had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall under the leadership of Lao Duan.

At this moment, the magnificent black wooden door opened from the inside.

A petite figure holding a broom and dustpan floated out silently.

It's floating, not walking, maybe because the wide skirt blocks the movement of the steps.

It may also be that this person has some unique skills in walking, so that he seems to be floating when he walks.

The moment he saw that figure floating out, Xiao Lizi was frightened at first.

But at the next moment, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Because at this moment, the person who opened the door and walked out was actually a young and pretty maid.

This little maid in a black and white maid skirt looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

If you look closely, you will see that her unpainted facial features are as cute and beautiful as those of a doll.

The dark, medium-short hair is trimmed very neatly, and there are no unnecessary decorations on the whole body.

Such dignified work attire paired with that cold expression on his face gave him a strange sense of coolness and nobility.

So the moment he saw this little maid, Xiao Lizi's first reaction was "What a professional maid sister. She must be very neat in doing things and can keep the house in order."

However, when the little maid just opened the door and walked out, the old Duan who was leading the way looked at the broken vase dregs in her dustpan and frowned:

"Mi'er, you broke the vase again. This is the third time this week."

".The fourth time to be exact, one time you didn't see it."

Facing the old housekeeper's question, Mi'er didn't look panicked and even replied in a calm tone.

Well, for a moment, Xiao Lizi didn't know how to react, because the broken vase in the dustpan looked expensive.

Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. I didn't expect Miss Mi'er to be so clumsy."

Although this little maid is different from the old Duan and is a newcomer who only came to work in Shen Family Courtyard about a year ago, Jiang Zheng has still seen her a few times.

Different from her delicate, cool, neat and capable appearance, there must be something wrong with Mi'er's brain or hands, or both.

So much so that when she does something, she either breaks this thing or that thing, which makes people wonder if Mi'er has to pay her employer for house repairs every month.

But perhaps Miss Shen is particularly tolerant in this regard, and Mi'er has actually been working until today.

And he is still clumsy to this day, which is considered a weirdo.
