Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure

The teachers in Ellip are paid well, and each hired teacher will be assigned a house in the college.The house that Ruby got was a small European-style bungalow. Behind the bungalow was a small garden full of pure-color roses. There were also two pear trees in the garden. The trees were covered with white pear blossoms, and it was estimated that they would grow for another two months. It will work out.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with the college's allocation, you can change the house. As long as you pay enough gold coins, you can choose any spare villa in the college.

Ruby is not such a picky person, to her, bungalows are much better than simple thatched huts, so she is naturally not dissatisfied.With such a mentality, Ruby pushed open the intricately carved wooden door, and was shocked by the exquisitely decorated hall.

The interior of the bungalow is a combination of romance and freshness. The white gauze curtains on the circular arched windows sway with the wind, the crimson brocade decorated with gold flowers hangs all over the room, and the gorgeous crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Under the light, it reflects the bright light.And on the white marble stairs leading to the second floor, there is a maid standing there.

The maid kept the house spotless, and the black lacquered wooden floor was also wiped clean, and she was cleaning the escalator with a rag.When she saw a blond girl come in through the door, she knew immediately that the owner of the house had returned, so she stood with her hands down, lowered her head and said respectfully, "Ladies, welcome back."

Ruby asked hesitantly, "Are you a servant here? I didn't ask someone to clean it?"

The maid replied: "I am the person sent by the college to clean the house. My name is Mary. If you are satisfied with my service, I will be your exclusive maid from now on."

Seeing that Ruby didn't speak for a long time, the maid was worried that she had misunderstood something and would send herself away, so she quickly added: "Please don't get me wrong, I didn't trespass here without permission, you may not know, every building in Ellip Every vacant house will arrange a maid to be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the house. When the new owner of the house arrives, you can choose to maintain the status quo or use the servant you brought. If you haven't had time to hire someone in the future, you can leave me to order , it’s more convenient, and my salary is paid by the college, so it won’t cause you any extra burden.”

After hearing the maid's words, Ruby was a little moved. From the well-kept garden, it can be seen that the maid works very neatly, and the bungalow is quite large, and Sylvie alone cannot clean it up.If you still need to hire someone, it is better to accept the maid, and save the trouble of re-employing someone.

Seeing Ruby's heartbeat, Sylvie pursed her lips. She looked at Mary hostilely, eager to prove herself: "Master, I can clean up the house by myself without the help of others. If I If you don’t do well, you can punish me as you like.”

Ruby didn't know why Sylvie, who was always well-behaved, suddenly became awkward. She persuaded with some headaches: "Sylvie, I won't hit you if you don't do well, do you think I hit you before? ?And it’s not that I don’t believe in your ability, I know you can do it well, but it’s very laborious for you to clean up such a big house by yourself, wouldn’t it be great to have someone to help you?”

Sylvia tugged at the corners of her skirt, she knew it was unreasonable for her to do so, but Mary's existence made her feel threatened, she wanted to prove to Ruby that she was useful, she didn't save herself in vain, with this feeling , Sylvie said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid of getting tired, I can really do it, master."

Seeing Sylvie's firm attitude, Ruby had no choice but to apologize and said: "We already have a very good maid, and we don't need other servants. Mary, you are a good maid, and you will find a better job of."

Hearing that the blond girl refused to accept her, Mary couldn't hide her disappointment, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.Ellip's treatment is very good, she doesn't want to lose this well-paid job, but one radish and one hole, people don't want her, no matter how hard she pleads, it's useless.

Just when Mary thought her work was over and she was about to go back to the maid's room to pack her luggage and leave, things took a turn for the better.

Meyer stopped her, told her to wait aside, and said to Sylvie indifferently: "Sylvie, what are you worried about? Do you really think that Ruby accepted you just to let you clean up the house? To be honest, we have no shortage of maids, and with Ruby’s status, we want as many maids who are better at cleaning than you. We took you in because we liked your character, just like you, Mary’s existence It won't threaten your status, and you don't need to repel her."

Meyer's blatant reprimand directly pierced Sylvie's mind, which made Sylvie turn pale, and she lowered her head in shame.Sylvie knew that she dared to intervene in Ruby's decision because of Ruby's indulgence to her.As Meyer said, she was worried that Mary would take her job, so that the master would not pay attention to her.

Meyer ignored Sylvie's pale face, and continued: "We have been together for a long time, and you are already an indispensable part of us. No matter how bad your housework is, we will not abandon you. As long as If you want, Ruby and I will always have your place here, where we are is your home."

Meyer knew Sylvie's heart knot, and Ruby gave her self-esteem, gave her a chance to be a human being, and transformed Sylvie from a slave to a free person, which made Sylvie extremely grateful.However, Sylvie still lacks a sense of security. She is afraid of being abandoned, so she desperately wants to prove her worth by cleaning. This is obvious to both her and Ruby.Sylvie's uneasiness and inferiority complex had penetrated deep into her bone marrow, so she could only use medicine to reassure her.

After hearing Meyer's words, Sylvie's face flushed, and she ran away with the hem of her skirt, and she didn't know which room she ran to.Sylvie's performance is becoming more and more vivid, which makes Ruby feel relieved, but also has a strange feeling that the child's rebellious period has reached the more difficult to manage.

Ruby wanted to go to Sylvie, but Meyer stopped her: "Let Sylvie calm down, she will figure it out."

Ruby was a little confused: "Then should we hire this maid or not?"

Meyer smiled slightly: "Of course I'm hired, but I still have a question to ask before that."

So, Meyer called the anxious maid and asked, "When you were rejected by Ruby just now, you were very disappointed. This is normal. Anyone who lost a good job will be disappointed. But you still look very sad. If you can If so, can you tell me why?"

The maid replied, "I have nothing to say. The reason I am sad is because I am worried about my brother."

"Oh? What's going on here?" Meyer became interested.

The maid went on to say: "My younger brother is gifted as a warrior. When we found out about this, our family was overjoyed. My parents decided to send my younger brother to a warrior school at all costs. In order to support my younger brother, I had to work as a maid. "

"Is the tuition fee of Warrior Academy very expensive?" Ruby interjected, she didn't know much about the fees charged by various colleges in mainland China.

"The tuition fees of the Warrior Academy are not cheap, but the citizens can still afford it. My family's financial situation is not bad. My father saved a lot of savings before, which is enough for my younger brother to graduate." Maid Mary replied.

Ruby asked curiously: "Then why did you come out to be a maid? According to you, your family is not too difficult to get through. Why do you come out to show your face and do some work of serving others? Wouldn't it be nice to be pampered at home. "

Sardinia does not discriminate against women in Brunei, but the citizens still like to let their daughters help at home, or study culture in grammar school. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the citizens of Sardinia will not let their daughters go out to do manual labor.In Sardinia, relying on a woman to support a family is a sign of incompetence, because it means that the men in the family are incompetent and cannot let their wives and daughters do what they want, and Ruby asked because she knew this.

Mary smiled wryly, her mouth full of helplessness towards life: "Father's savings are reserved to pay my younger brother's tuition, so this money cannot be moved. Excluding this part, the family's money is not much, but even so, our life is at its peak. It’s a little tight, and it’s okay to save a little bit. But the big head is behind, miss, you are a professional, and you must know that the training intensity of soldiers is very high, and the requirements for nutrition are also very high. In order to ensure that my brother has enough physical strength to study, There is absolutely no shortage of food."

Mary sighed: "My brother's appetite has increased every day since he went to the Warrior Academy. Now he eats at least one pound of meat every day. However, the cheapest Gugu pork costs more than ten copper coins per pound, and that's not counting rice, noodles, fruits, etc. It is a big burden on the family to spend other money."

"This is just the beginning, and the cost will be even greater in the future. Even if the family has more savings, it will not be able to afford such expenses. It will be a long time before my younger brother can achieve success in his studies. In order not to sit and eat, my sister I had to come out and be a maid.” Mary paused and continued: “I used to work in a wealthy businessman’s home, but was recommended to Ellip College by the trade union because of my good work, and the college hired me, and I paid monthly Give me five silver coins and settle my three meals by the way. I will send my salary back home for expenses every month. If I am fired by you, the salary in other places is not so much, and the family will be in trouble, so I Really hope to stay."

Ruby was moved by the sincere words of the maid Mary. She originally intended to hire Mary, but rejected her because of Sylvie. Now that she heard about the situation in Mary's house, she decided to keep her.

Mary was very happy when she learned that she had lost her job, and it was even easier to start working.

After solving the problem in front of them, Ruby and Meyer also felt tired.The weather is very hot today, they have worked hard for a long time, and their bodies are a little sticky.Now Sylvie ran to hide somewhere, so Meyer told Mary to boil some water, wanting to take a bath and clean herself.

Mary told them that there was a shower in the bathroom of the bungalow, and the water was always hot from the flame stone, so they could bathe at any time.Brunei's alchemy was not as developed as that of Satin, so Meyer did not use the shower.Under Ruby's deliberate humility, Meyer rushed into the bathroom before Ruby, wanting to try what it's like to take a shower.
