Chapter 23 She Successfully Stayed

Emily originally came here with the intention of dying, but the treatment in the castle was obviously beyond the imagination of this little girl. She tried her best to absorb everything here. Yes, and there is no stonemason's shop for her.

She wants to stay here.

This idea did not disappear with the passage of time, on the contrary, it became more and more determined. The little girl worked hard to help the castle, but she couldn't find a reason for her to stay here. She only had two slaps and one finger for her age. In terms of force, a servant can knock her down to the ground. In terms of cost-effectiveness, she can't do as much work as others, but eats no less than others. Moreover, she is still a girl, so she has no reason to stay.

But fate is such a wonderful thing.

When the butler was teaching the servants, Emily heard and studied hard. No matter how hard it was, she never thought of giving up. Even though she was not qualified to take the exam, she still had a glimmer of hope.

Now she took her chance.

"one two three four……"

Emily was smart enough not to delay the housekeeper's time. After expressing her meaning, she began to read Mandarin from one to ten aloud. The voice was still low at first, but then it gradually became louder. But gradually she lowered herself, not daring to look directly into the butler's eyes.

"Chi, inch, zhang."

The housekeeper didn't speak all the time, Emily started to panic, her voice trembled more and more, and she was already crying when she finished speaking the last word, but the little girl who lowered her head didn't see the housekeeper's eyes getting darker. The wider the opening, the complexion gradually became softer, looking at her as if seeing some baby.

"Write it down."

The pot was placed on the ground again, and the mud inside had dried a lot, but it was still possible to write with force. This girl was not a servant of the castle, but she was unexpectedly smart, and the housekeeper didn't mind giving her a chance.

"very good."

Emily's handwriting is not good-looking, which is normal, even the butler's handwriting is barely out of the dog's crawl, but the content of her writing is all correct, which is rare.

"You will be rewarded, but you will also be punished for stopping me."

The butler has always been a just existence. Emily's deviant behavior must be punished, otherwise he will be stopped at every turn as a butler in the future. This is a symbol that makes other people think about whether the consequences of stopping him are worth it.

"Yes."

The 11-year-old girl's calmness was unexpected, and she answered it as a matter of course. Today, she stopped the housekeeper with the intention of dying if she fails, so naturally she should be punished.

"Very well, wait for me at the servants while you eat."

It's time for dinner, today's lord still didn't come to the kitchen, many people sighed in disappointment, Emily stood nervously not far from the servant, hoping for the arrival of the butler, the stonemason's house could not go back Yes, if the castle doesn't accept it, then...

Emily shook her head, tried her best to shake off her negative thoughts, ignored the gazes of the servants around her as much as possible, took another step back and dodged the fist of the mason, and rushed to the butler's back in three steps .

"What are you going to do?"

The butler made a sound, and Emily, who poked her head out quietly, witnessed her father's face-changing in Sichuan opera. After knowing that she had been accepted by the butler as a trainee maid of the castle, her whole face was smiling like the yellow big girl she had seen before. flower.

A few words sent the stonemason away, Emily finally dared to come out from behind the butler, and then she met the eyes of the castle servants, most of them were malicious, which made the little girl tremble, but she still stood up bravely .

"She will be a maid of the castle."

If the discussion just now was the buzzing of mosquitoes, then it is now a tsunami, but these are just small scenes to the housekeeper, and they can be easily handled.

Forcibly quieted the servants, briefly explained the reason why Emily was able to become a maid, and then announced the punishment for Emily. Live like an adult.

No one says it's unfair anymore until the kid at your waist eats half as much as you do and has to do as much work as you do and do things you can't learn, it's clearly not fair to Emily The dissatisfaction of the servants was well eliminated, and even a few girls looked at the skinny little girls with sympathy on their faces.

Emily stood there in a trance, until her hands were forcibly washed by the butler, and the wooden ruler was put into her hand, she finally felt a little real. Looking at the smiling butler, for some reason, her eyes felt hot .

The four servants who got the ruler the next day went to measure the land. Yes, for the convenience of management, Xu Tian decided to divide the land into blocks with plant ash after discussing with the housekeeper. At the same time, the so-called minimum workload was stipulated, and those who did not meet it could not come to work again.

Running around all day and all day, and eating healthy weight-loss paste, although half the weight of ordinary people is enough to feed little Emily, she still continues to lose weight inevitably, looking at Ai Mili Mi Li's complexion was getting darker and thinner, and the dissatisfaction of the few people gradually disappeared.

Emily did not go back to the stonemason, even though her mother shed many tears, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but her heart was very comfortable, she lived with the maids, hay Very comfortable to sleep on.

Xu Tian didn't know anything about this little episode. He was still thinking about what to do in the pottery kiln. The knights would be able to see how the pottery was sold when they came back. There are still many uses in life.

He tried his best to recall all the farming novels he had read before, and after thinking about it for a few days, he finally came up with a possible result. At this moment, the willpower that had not closed his eyes for a few days finally reached the limit. Lord Xu laughed twice. He threw away the parchment full of black dots, rolled his eyes and fell on the table.

A knight supported him in time, and the not-so-strong figure easily hugged Xu Tianlai to a princess, put him on the bed and covered him with a sheet, and the other walked silently to the kitchen, where there were only stars and moons at night, The faint oil lamp was like the eyes of the devil, who was off to find something to eat for his master.

The butler hasn't been home for the past few days. Apart from work, he is guarding the lord. The chef's youngest daughter is also forced to stay. A bowl of beans in one night is a good deal for both Mary and the chef's family.

"It worked"

Holding a dim oil lamp, the butler asked in a low voice.

"Ready to eat."

The knight didn't know whether Xu Tian was successful or not, but seeing the excited look of the lord, even if he didn't succeed, it shouldn't be far behind, but there is no need to say these words to the butler.

Mary didn't even have a high stove, and the knight didn't deliberately make it difficult for her to cook a big dish. He just asked her to make a simple egg, peanut and vegetable soup and hurried back - the lord has lost taste since he started researching, and they don't look at it. With the help of the lord, the lord can keep water and rice from morning to night. In the last few days, they have directly handed the food to their mouths, and the lord just opened his mouth to eat. Today, he didn't fall asleep from exhaustion, but fainted from emotion After the past, you need to eat something first.

No one knows what the lord wants to do when researching the pottery kiln. The stewards think that the current mound of earth is enough, and he can't imagine that pottery can be made in a better shape, but Xu Tian is just working hard in silence—— pottery kiln It brings not only quantitative changes, but good-quality pottery fired from the inside will have the characteristics of porcelain, which is particularly smooth and bright.

To this extent, pottery should not be called pottery, it should be called ceramics, and the sealing effect of ceramics has passed modern tests, as long as it is well preserved with sealing flour and the like, it will be stable.

But Xu Tian didn't say and couldn't say this kind of thought, because he didn't know whether the firing would be successful, and the blow brought about by the disappointment after hope was not simply a loss of morale.

Xu Tian managed to finish a bowl of soup and went back to sleep. This time, the knight didn't bother him anymore. When he woke up, it was already high in the sky, but his head was still groggy and uncomfortable, but he didn't sleep again. Going down, he reluctantly got up and finished washing, rubbing his twitching temples and walking out.

He went to the kitchen without saying anything, and drank a large glass of water to relieve his cracked lips and teeth, then directed Mary and the chef to make some soup to comfort his stomach, although there seemed to be nothing delicious here...

The parchment that had been smeared and no longer looked good was held in his hand. Xu Tian brought the housekeeper to the river, where big pits had been dug out one after another. Little Jack was holding a stick, looking like a decent supervisor working slaves.

"Get some slaves over here,"

When a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came, Little Jack raised his head subconsciously, and bumped into the quiet eyes of the lord.

"I want to use."

He heard the lord say so.

The lord's main slaves were naturally the best. Little Jack didn't know the number of some, so he quickly picked out ten of them from the working crowd, and then the lord returned most of them, leaving only three female slaves.

Xu Tian wants to build a pottery kiln.

In the castle, in the sun.

The stonemason's wife was picking up acorns, and the servants were too lazy to pick them slowly in the oak forest, and the housekeeper didn't need them to pick them, so they brought them all in one go, piled up like a hill, exuding natural taste.

The servants in the castle have too many things to do, so part of the work of sorting the acorns before processing is allocated to the craftsman’s family. After all, what the castle pays attention to is that one person eats, which means that the craftsmen only have their own food. The family was without food, but now the situation has become a win-win situation.

Under the warm sunshine, the mason's wife thought of her daughter Emily again, and let out a long sigh.

She didn't know why Emily was so angry, and she never understood what the child was thinking. Even if the stonemason beat and scolded her, didn't she still raise her? Why did she move out because of a trivial matter.

The stonemason's wife doesn't know that some birds are destined not to belong to the cage, even though they were born in the cage, they still yearn for the free sky.

The author has something to say: the stonemason's wife and his daughter are two extremes, one has been completely domesticated, and the other is persistently yearning for freedom.

Economic independence promotes the preservation of self-awareness. Emily has a job that will not starve to death, so she has the courage to fall out with the stonemason. Which way do you think Emily should take?General?teacher?or something else?
