Quick Wear: I'm bound to the love strategy system

Chapter 156 The Noble Mad Duke * The Speculative Girl (14)

April's dream of being fired for not having teaching aids was shattered.

The day after this embarrassing incident, the housekeeper sent a set of bamboo flutes with different tones to her room.

According to the butler, Blanchette has two caravans that are skilled in traveling to the East.

More than half of the silk and porcelain in the royal city were brought back by Blanchett's caravan.

And not only flutes, but also many other kinds of musical instruments were bought.

April put away the set of flutes.

The smile on my face could hardly be maintained.

After sending the butler away, April began to think about other ways to leave Blanchett Manor without loss.

April even thought of taking the initiative to resign from Blanchett Estate.

But if that's the case, I can definitely leave by myself.

But Campbell Manor would definitely not hire me again.

How could Campbell House hire someone who turned down Blanchett?

April walked back and forth in the room with a white feather fan, trying to find a foolproof solution for herself.

Finally, before April's leg muscles became developed, April came up with a solution.

It is not difficult to learn to play the bamboo flute. I only learned from the merchant's wife for a year.

If I can teach Miss Blanchett within a year, I will resign from her.

If he said that he had nothing more to teach her, Miss Blanchett would probably let him go.

April walked weakly on the red high-back chair and prayed in her heart.

Viscount Campbell did not fall in love with anyone else during this year.

Otherwise, I would have to spend more time looking for other people.

However, a lady's social season lasts about three years, and this is only the first year.

And now she works at Blanchett Estate.

If there were a dance, she would be able to meet many gentlemen.

Although because of her status as a governess, she could not become the protagonist of the ball as she had imagined.

April felt much better after she thought of two solutions.

Looking at the set of flutes, the exquisite bamboo flutes are carved with patterns full of oriental charm.

There are also two small words engraved on the bamboo flutes, indicating their origin.

April did not know any Oriental characters, so she could not recognize the hometown of this bamboo flute.

After traveling all the way across the ocean to the royal city, I guess I will never have the chance to return to my hometown in this lifetime.

April thought that such an exquisite set of bamboo flutes would cost at least 2000 gold coins.

When chatting with the housekeeper the next day, the housekeeper heard April's guess. He looked at April with kind eyes and spoke to her gently.

"You guessed wrong. If this set of bamboo flutes was sold for 2000 gold coins in the royal city, then the caravan probably spent 20 gold coins to buy it in the east."

April's eyes couldn't help but sparkle.

Oh my god, such a profit.

The butler continued, "According to Ivy, he didn't just use gold coins to buy this set of bamboo flutes."

“The son of the craftsman who made this set of bamboo flutes fell seriously ill, and Eastern medicine could not cure him.

That craftsman went against the king's rules and approached our caravan, hoping to exchange it for medicine that could reduce his son's high fever."

April was deeply moved after hearing this.

"According to the craftsmen, each of their works is their child. This is like exchanging one of his children for another."

The butler ate his last cookie and was about to go to work, he said to April as he wiped his hands.

"Xia La, this set of bamboo flutes was made to be sold, right? Don't be sad about it."

April could still sit and eat her cookies; her classes were only in the mornings.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, she didn't say anything else. She didn't know why she felt that way just now.

When difficulties arise, one child must be sacrificed for another.

Because of the mother's kindness, the gold coins in the house shrank rapidly, and there was little left when the debt collectors came.

April would not get any share of that little bit of gold coins.

She couldn't even get a dowry of 500 gold coins because her mother had an even younger son.

So she has to sacrifice herself and marry a country guy.

She doesn't want it, she doesn't want it.

No matter how beautiful the scenery in the countryside is, it cannot compare to the splendor of the Golden Street.

Even if she became a nun in the monastery in the royal city, she would stay in the royal city.

April's expression turned serious and she ate all the cookies on the plate.

She was not vicious in her ladylike eating etiquette, but her eyes looked a little vicious.

Just like a hound biting its prey.

She must let her mother know that her daughter can bring her glory that her son cannot.

This period of teaching went very smoothly for Amanda, as the child is very talented.

April thought that she should be able to leave early.

Her heart was left at Campbell Manor, and no matter how good Blanchett Manor was, she could not feel the slightest bit of nostalgia for it.

The library at Blanchett House was not open to servants.

Fortunately, Amanda allowed April to come to the library when she was bored.

April thought optimistically.

It seems that I am not a servant yet, but at least I am better than a servant.

Perhaps influenced by the last time she saw Duke Blanchett painting in the wisteria garden, April has been wanting to paint something recently.

Ordinary paints and canvas were quickly found, but she only remembered it when she was preparing to mix the paint.

I don’t seem to know what to draw.

So she chose to come to the library.

Find some inspiration for your restless mind.

She followed the words engraved on the bookshelf and found No. 17, which contained many manuscripts of famous painters.

These unfinished works may bring her some inspiration.

The library is very bright, with precious sunlight entering through large pieces of clear glass.

The lighting design is clever, making the room just the right amount of bright.

The dark brown bookshelf feels inexplicably heavy.

April began to speculate how long the bookshelves had been at Blanchett Manor.

10 years, 20 years, or 30 years.

Maybe longer, after all, Blanchett is as old as the Maule River.

In the golden sunlight, April could see the dancing dust and smell a bitter scent of plants from the pages of the book.

April looked at the name on the spine of the book, and after searching all the way down, she saw Blanchett's name.

April struggled to take out the huge book.

But as soon as April took the book down, she saw Duke Blanchette who was taking out a book like her.

The sunlight shone on his face, and his deep eye sockets and high nose bridge made the light and shadow on his face particularly moving.

At the junction of light and darkness, his long golden hair is like a flowing golden river.

April almost lost her balance on the ladder. She stood there in a daze, not knowing whether she should take the initiative to greet him.
