Alien landlady

Chapter 11 Long-Term Mission
The next morning, the two girls were busy with their own business, but after lunch, they rushed to the tailor's shop as soon as possible. First, they went to see Seiya's clothes. Make a little modification, and the others need more time because of the complicated embroidery.

Next, the two rushed to Bai Tongtong's tailor shop. Her mercenary costumes were simple and easy, and they were all ready. After trying them on, she didn't even bother to call the tailor to rework them. After packing, she paid the balance and left. people.

With these new and better clothes, the ones bought in Xinxin Town were immediately rejected. There was no way around that, even the quality of the new leather armor was better.Of course, the price is quite impressive, but it doesn't matter if you can afford it.

On the afternoon of the second day, Seya dragged Bai Tongtong to the tailor shop again, and the tailor modified her dress overnight. This time, everyone was satisfied. Afterwards, Seya happily prepared for the Sunday party.

And Bai Tongtong received a letter from a private postman, with new business.

The new errand is to escort the lady and several unmarried daughters to a friend's country manor to attend a summer banquet and stay for a while, so this is a one-way task, but the employer is willing to pay for the time it takes her to return alone, and the manor A guest room was also prepared for her.

Here, Bai Tongtong heard the latest news about Mrs. Hope. The aristocratic court approved the lady's application, depriving the eldest son of all inheritance rights, and the second son became the new generation of Viscount Hope.

No one was surprised by this result, the Hope parents were well known in social circles for their misbehavior.The eldest son failed to send someone to attack his mother, but gave Mrs. Hope strong evidence. The noble court could no longer take sides, and could only act in accordance with the law, and was even expelled from the genealogy. The glory of Viscount Hope for generations will no longer be related to this Niezi has anything to do with it.

In the local people's mind, a child's murder of his parents for the sake of family property is a serious act of betrayal and violation of loyalty. For these nobles who made their fortunes by leading troops on the battlefield, traitors are absolutely unforgivable.However, after the eldest son was deprived of his inheritance rights, he was not held accountable for murdering his mother, and he did not carry a warrant, which can be regarded as a deal in exchange for freedom.

Of course, this kid can no longer live in Fort Zammington, he hired so many killers and failed to assassinate, plus the people he used to cause trouble, now he has completely lost power, I am afraid that there will be many people waiting in line Find him to settle accounts.

Bai Tongtong recalled Mrs. Hope's other four children, and had a good impression of the new Viscount, who was very skilled in swordsmanship. It was all because of his bravery that his younger brothers and sisters were fine.When you go back tomorrow, remember to remind Seiya to write a congratulatory letter to Mrs. Hope.

Both the host and the guests knew about Bai Tongtong's background, and when they saw her present, they often asked her about that day.

Bai Tongtong kept Mrs. Hope's reminder in mind, and refused to reveal too many details. He could either praise the new viscount's swordsmanship, or talk about a certain skill of a certain knight, so that everyone knew that the fight was terrible at that time. I can't piece together the complete process.

Bodyguard is a job that relies on word of mouth and contacts to recommend each other and introduce new clients. Bai Tongtong doesn't want to try to make it easy for a while, but leave so many people with the impression that she is unreliable with a big mouth.

The next day, after receiving the reward, Bai Tongtong took the public carriage back to the city, and was exhausted when he got home.After these few errands, she was used to fine-crafted noble carriages, and she felt that her bones were about to fall apart when she rode in an overcrowded ordinary carriage.

Seya came to invite Bai Tongtong to go to the party with her, but she didn't agree, she just wanted to have a good sleep in bed to relieve the fatigue of the journey.However, when she mentioned about Viscount Hope, Seiya said that she had heard about it from her fiancé, and it happened that everyone was discussing what kind of congratulatory gift to prepare at this party, so Bai Tongtong had nothing else to say. Shut up, sneeze and fall asleep.

Afterwards, Bai Tongtong didn't pay too much attention to what gift Seya gave Viscount Hope, but she knew that she accompanied her fiancé to the Viscount Hope's residence to attend the celebration dinner for the new Viscount.

Her name was also on the invitation, but she had already taken on a new mission at that time, and she had to go out for three or four days before returning, so she could only order a large bouquet of flowers, plus a letter from her own handwriting, please Seiya took it with him.

When Bai Tongtong came back from this business trip, she only rested at home for two days, and received four new jobs one after another. She interviewed the employers one by one. It's nothing, but after finishing her last errand, she actually slept soundly for two days.

After Seiya attended Viscount Hope's dinner, she began to appear in the social circle, and her schedule was full. Either she went out to visit other people's homes, or she invited guests to chat at home, and even took the initiative to share recipes from her own kitchen with her. The housewives of the neighbors strike up a conversation, and after a few exchanges, the dishes on the table at home have also become more abundant.

The advantage of Seya not caring about going to the kitchen and being able to cook has won her the favor of middle-class housewives. When she has no plans, she will go to a neighbor's house to sit and taste a few small biscuits. Share the latest fashion information on the street.

The circle of wives has their own news channels, and Seiya has benefited a lot from it, and even got a deal for Mr. Faseas, and the person in charge is of course his fiancé.

Seiya is getting more and more comfortable, Bai Tongtong is not bad, and the business of bodyguards is getting more and more prosperous. The employers like her, an educated female mercenary who knows how to be silent, know how to behave, and beg her to give Mrs. Hope a handwritten letter. , the ladies of the Hope family praised her in the circle for her neat and neat handwriting, which must be the result of her education, and her beautiful white teeth, some people can't help but privately speculate whether she is from an upper-class family who has fallen into poverty child.

Ladies, they are more or less picky and difficult to serve, but those who have hired Bai Tongtong have said good things about her, which has made her reputation better and better. As a result, even noble ladies would rather spend a gold coin for such trivial things as shopping. Looking for Bai Tongtong to accompany her, you can also enjoy exquisite food with them at a high-end restaurant at noon, share some gossip in the circle, and don't treat her as an outsider at all.

All these changes took place in just two months. The hottest period of summer has passed, and autumn has quietly followed the footsteps of summer. Sleep soundly in the cool night wind.

Seiya's wedding date is set in this season when it is not too cold to go out. Seeing the day is approaching, everyone is busy with it. Fortunately, Fern finally accepts the local customs and no longer resists. Because of this, people were willing to get close to her, which made Seiya feel a little relieved.

Bai Tongtong originally agreed to attend the wedding as a group of relatives and friends of the woman, but unexpectedly received an employment job that she couldn't refuse.

His Excellency Viscount Drago, who works for the city lord, invited Bai Tongtong to his house for lunch.

Bai Tongtong, a lady of aristocratic family who is engaged in political work, has served several people, but it was the first time that the head of the family sent an invitation formally, so she solemnly put on the full set of female mercenary equipment and arrived at the city in the north of the city on time. The Viscount's mansion.

Bai Tongtong had never served the family of Viscount Drago, so she was unavoidably a little nervous when she was invited so suddenly. After entering the door, she met the Viscount and his wife and saluted, and then met the three children, two men and one woman, in the living room. To her task object.

The boys wore the same clothes as their fathers, tight trousers, pointed high heels, lace shirts and tight jackets, which were fashionable attire for aristocratic men, but the only girl wore a red dress over an ordinary home skirt. Long-sleeved silk cardigan in the colors of the blue and white national flag.

The girl seemed to be fourteen or fifteen years old, or even thirteen or fourteen years old, just puberty, and what the wife introduced to Bai Tongtong was the only baby girl in the family, the family's patron saint, and the star of tomorrow.

Because the girl is a student of the School of Magic of Menise School of Magic and Martial Arts.

For a political father, having a child who learns magic at home can add points to his political future.

Seeing that the start of autumn school is approaching, His Excellency the Viscount hopes to hire Bai Tongtong for a long time to accompany his daughter to school and protect her from danger.

Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes, unable to understand the Viscount's request for a while.

"Forgive my ignorance. Is it dangerous to study in school? What kind of danger is it? If it is the danger brought about by magic practice, please forgive me for what I can do."

"It's like this. The magic world is usually married to the magic world or nobles or even the royal family. In this big circle, the children of the magic family have the highest social status, and the children of the nobles and magicians are slightly inferior. The lowest is our kind, the family There is no magician's blood here, but the noble and merciful Lord has given us such a precious child. Among ordinary people, our children are also distinguished, but in the School of Magic and Martial arts, facing those children with more noble status... ..." The Viscountess shook her head helplessly.

Bai Tongtong took a closer look at Miss Drago again, the little girl was sitting quietly with her brothers, she seemed to be a very gentle and shy child.

"Your Excellency, ma'am, with all due respect, is there something that happened to Miss among her companions that preventive measures are being taken now?"

The viscount and his wife looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise on their faces, the three children immediately became more interested in Bai Tongtong, and the little girl's eyes began to stay on Bai Tongtong for a long time.

"Oh, Miss Bai, how did you find out?" Madam said.

"According to my little understanding of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, first-year freshmen mainly do basic training, and only in the second year can they distinguish the type of magic that each person is good at, and get the corresponding magic robe. The one on the lady is a first-year one. Apprentice robes, right?" After spending two months with the ladies, Bai Tongtong knew some basic social knowledge more or less.

The Viscount's family smiled in relief, laughing at themselves for forgetting such an obvious reminder. The family has long been accustomed to the robes, forgetting that this is not an ordinary dress in the eyes of outsiders.

"Miss Bai has good eyesight. To be honest, our child did have an unpleasant accident and had to take a break from school and go home for recuperation. This year she will repeat the first grade, and her classmates from last year are all in the second grade this year."

"Oh, it must have been a horrific accident as you can imagine." That must have sucked for a student to have to take a break and go home.

"So, Miss Bai, we hope you can take this job. We have inquired about it. Your reputation is very good. We really can't afford another blow." The lady suddenly choked up as she spoke, and the Viscount quickly lightened Rubbing his wife's back to help her calm down, the girl hurried to her mother, knelt down and held her hand.

Bai Tongtong pursed her lips tightly and bit her back molars hard. She couldn't bear to see such a scene, which reminded her of her parents.

"Ma'am, calm down. After all, this is a long-term job. It will last at least until the end of one semester and go home on vacation. If you want to live together for a few months, I think some issues need to be clarified first, such as personal living habits. Kind of." Bai Tongtong said.

"Of course, of course." Madam seemed to have seen hope, and gathered herself together, "Miss Bai, we know that you are a lady who likes to read books and be quiet, and my daughter is the same, introverted and quiet, no one tells her that she usually doesn't take the initiative to go out to find someone Play, she is not the kind of child who has to make some noise when she has nothing to do. She will not disturb you when you are enjoying peace, let alone make unreasonable demands on you. I guarantee that you two will get along well. Your daily routine Just follow her schedule, the rest is up to you."

"Should I go to class with me? The teacher allows outsiders to listen?"

"If you want, we can write a letter of recommendation and you can sit in. Noble students always have some privileges in the academy."

Bai Tongtong thought about it for a while, and felt that listening in was a good idea. It was better than staying in the dormitory with nothing to do. It didn't cost money to attend classes, and she didn't have to do homework or take exams. Where could she find such an easy learning opportunity.

Besides, the temptation of magic is too great, she really wants to experience this magical subject.

"Your Excellency, madam, I think you two have heard the news that my friend Miss *** is about to get married. I have already agreed to be her bride's relatives and friends, so I hope that I will be allowed to come back to attend the wedding."

This is what it means to be willing to take over the job. The Viscount's family immediately laughed easily, "Of course, Miss Bai."

The two sides have reached an agreement, and the next thing is easy to talk about. Bai Tongtong must accompany Ms. Drago for at least one semester, and the task will not be completed until she escorts her home safely during the winter vacation. The commission is no longer calculated by one gold coin a day, but also It's quite impressive, not less than Bai Tongtong's average income in the past two months, plus there are recommendation letters from auditions, it's very profitable.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch together, Bai Tongtong bid farewell and went home to pack his luggage.
