When Shimizu Haruka walked into her bedroom based on her own memory and the guidance of the servant beside her, she saw a tall girl standing in a spacious and bright room.She looked at the girl calmly, but didn't know who she was.

She was dressed in casual attire, not the uniform yukata worn by the maids of the same family. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her fiery red hair was tied into a ponytail.His facial features are delicate, especially those blue eyes, which are as bright as a lake flowing in the sun, and they bend into a crescent shape when he smiles.

Not like a guest either.No guest would go directly into the little master's bedroom.

So Qing Shui showed a gentle and elegant smile at the girl, and was about to ask aloud, but was interrupted by the other party first.

The other party's eyes lit up, and he said crisply: "Eh? You are Qing... Miss! I am Reiko Hayakawa, and I will be your personal butler from now on!"

Qing Shuiyao clearly heard the pause in the other party's words, and smiled in his heart, "Hayakawa? Is it Hayakawa, Grandpa Hayakawa?"

Hearing Shimizu Haruka's question, Hayakawa Reiko was obviously happier, and her tone was also cheerful, "Yes, butler Hayakawa is my grandfather... Please take care of me from now on!" She said and bowed deeply.

These words made Qing Shuiyao have doubts in his heart, for example, this girl is obviously only a year or two older than him, how could he become his personal housekeeper?Also, although Grandpa Hayakawa’s family has served the Shimizu family for hundreds of years, I remember that Grandpa Hayakawa and the others were allowed to be independent before his death. Although Grandpa Hayakawa was loyal, his children did not continue to serve. Now why did the granddaughter come out to be the housekeeper again?

But even though she had many doubts in her mind, she didn't have time to think about it at this time, because Hayakawa Reiko had dutifully received the basin of washing water handed over by the servant, and was about to help her wash her face.

This really made Shimizu Haruka a little uncomfortable.

Although Sato-san was also a housekeeper when he was in England, he never did such a thing.Firstly, the other party was an elder and male; secondly, the two of them didn't pay much attention to their lives at that time.Therefore, Shimizu Haruka also got used to being self-reliant.

Suddenly facing the life of the aristocratic family with open hands and open mouths, she was a little maladapted.In fact, how did she know that the young masters and ladies of the current family don't need servants to serve everything. Reiko Hayakawa is so attentive because she is currently interested in this little lady who is remembered by her grandfather several times every day.

Haruka Shimizu silently took the towel from the girl in front of her, wiped it carefully, put the towel into the washbasin first, and changed it by herself, "Sister Hayakawa, I don't need your help with these small things, I can do it myself " After wringing out the towel, she wiped her hands and said softly, "By the way, where are we going to eat later?"

Hayakawa Reiko didn't have the habit of serving others, so she didn't hesitate when she saw Haruka Shimizu's words, so she simply nodded and agreed, "Grandpa has ordered me to go down and have dinner here, and then you can go for a walk in the back garden to digest your food before resting." After a pause, she winked mischievously at Shimizu Haruka, "Today you have to keep your spirits up. I heard from grandpa that you have a date tomorrow." For those who will come to visit tomorrow, Reiko Hayakawa overheard the conversation between grandpa and husband. The conversation also guessed a bit.He is someone to look forward to.

"...A date? You mean, will someone come to visit tomorrow?" The hand holding the comb paused, and Shimizu Haruka asked again, "Then, will the master come back here tomorrow?" Regarding her father's absence from the old house Shimizu Haruka still knows about where he lives. It seems that he moved to Tokyo the year his grandfather died.When she rushed back from England to attend the tribute, the man no longer lived here.

"Yes, sir, I think he will arrive tomorrow morning." Maybe he vaguely knew that the relationship between this young lady and her father was not very good, so for the strange thing that she called "Sir" instead of "Father" and "Daddy", Hayakawa Reiko didn't have much doubts.

Then, there was a light knock on the door, and then two servants came in with lunch.

"Miss, lunch is here, you can eat first." Hayakawa Reiko picked up the ribbon on the dressing table and tied up her loose long hair, not forgetting to explain in her mouth, "It's easy to tie it up first so that you can eat easily." Sigh, it's really soft and beautiful hair, unlike my own hair that is dry and split...

"Thank you." With the reflection of the mirror, Qing Shuiyao looked at the slightly puffed cheeks of the girl behind him with a smile.What a lovely and lively girl! "Elder Sister Hayakawa, just call me Xiaoyao from now on. It's fine for us to be called by our peers. You don't have to be too formal." She turned around and looked directly at the other party to show her sincerity, not just talking, and then she was gentle He said softly, "Can I just call you 'Sister Reiko'?"

If it is said that Hayakawa Reiko came to the room to wait for this little lady out of curiosity at the beginning, then at the moment of meeting later, when she saw the girl enter the door, she didn't stop at her abruptly because of her impoliteness. She was angry in the room, and even after looking at and asking gently, she thought about trying to get along with this little lady.But now, seeing the seriousness and sincerity in the girl's eyes, Hayakawa Reiko's resentment for her grandfather asking her to be a personal housekeeper instantly disappeared.

This is a girl who is easy to get along with, even if she has to take care of her personally in the future, it will not be so difficult to accept, and she even clearly feels the joy in her heart.

Hayakawa Reiko was originally a lively and outgoing personality, and she couldn't get used to the rules and regulations of the aristocratic family. Now that she heard Shimizu Haruka say this, of course she agreed without hesitation, and she liked this new little lady even more from the bottom of her heart.

"Of course it's fine. However, you can also call me Reiko directly. Don't be too polite about my sister!" Hayakawa Reiko said as she followed Shimizu Haruka towards the dining table.

Qing Shuiyao pursed her lips and smiled.I glanced at the food on the tables, and found that they were all my favorite dishes, and I felt a little better, "Have Reiko eaten? Do you want to eat more?"

"Well, no need." Reiko Hayakawa dragged a stool spontaneously, and looked at the girl opposite with her chin on her hands, the smile on her lips suddenly became a little funny, "Grandpa explained that Xiaoyao would eat at least seven or eight of these meals." OK. I'm in charge of supervision!"

"..." Silently glanced at the table with four dishes and one soup, plus a bowl of white rice.Looking up again at the girl who was obviously watching the show on the opposite side, Qing Shui Yao sighed in his heart, that's all, let's eat if you are full, and follow Grandpa Hayakawa's intention on the first day back... So, she He picked up the chopsticks decisively and began to eat slowly.

On the contrary, Reiko Hayakawa sighed in disappointment, thinking that she could see Xiaoyao's cute appearance wrinkled into a bun or acting coquettishly.In the end, she didn't object at all. That's a big meal. I heard that Xiaoyao eats very little every time he eats, but now it seems that it may not be so.

But looking at the girl opposite who was elegant and leisurely even while eating, Reiko Hayakawa admired and envied her very much.

Although being stared at the meal all the time, Qing Shuiyao still didn't feel the slightest embarrassment.It wasn't until she had used up half a bowl of white rice that she looked up at Reiko Hayakawa across from her.I saw the other party glance at the rice in her bowl, then glance at the half of the food left, and stare at her with a smile.The anticipation in his eyes clearly said "Eat quickly, there is still more than half"... Qing Shuiyao felt a little helpless and wanted to help his forehead. He really overestimated his usual appetite and the elasticity of his stomach...

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning hit the dressing table through the screen window, Qing Shuiyao had already sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair.

Yesterday's lunch, in the end, she still didn't finish it as required. She only used less than [-]% of it, and she couldn't hold it anymore.So, under her begging eyes, Hayakawa Reiko agreed to let her go and hide it from Grandpa Hayakawa.This made her breathe a sigh of relief. Although she likes those dishes, her stomach is so big that if she can't eat it, she won't be able to eat it.What's more, the loss outweighs the gain if it is broken...

After that, she didn't even eat much for dinner, and after calling Mrs. Anna in England to report her safety, she continued to rest.

Jet lag is not so good!

And early this morning, she woke up, and after quietly packing her clothes, she opened the door and walked out.

In the early morning of Kanagawa in early spring, there is a trace of coolness in the air, which makes people feel more refreshed when it is inhaled into the chest cavity.Go straight west along the corridor, cross a small bridge, and you will arrive at the garden connected to the front yard.

Stepping on the round cobblestones, along the winding path, Qingshui walked slowly on the path.Sometimes I look at the exquisitely shaped lotus-shaped lampposts on both sides of the road, and sometimes I bend over to linger on clusters of cornflowers with light blue buds... These cornflowers are still so vibrant and beautiful, which shows that Grandpa Hayakawa ordered people to take good care of them with.

At the end of the road is a stone pavilion. There are still two black and white boxes on the table in the stone pavilion, which are Go.

I remember that what my grandfather likes most is playing chess with his old friends while listening to the "rustling" wind of the bamboo forest behind him.When I was a child, I couldn't understand that kind of leisure, I just felt very boring, and often sneaked into the bamboo forest to look for small bamboo shoots...

She casually wiped the white jade-like stone bench, sat down, stroked the white box on the table with her right hand, and smiled gently.

"Grandpa, Xiaoyao is back." After she said something softly, her tone became more playful, "Xiaoyao has also grown up, and is no longer the stinky chess player she was when she was a child. Yao playing chess, Grandpa, you definitely have no chance to punish me for picking beans."

It seemed to recall that when she was a child, her temperament was unstable, she didn't learn chess well, and her grandpa punished her for picking up red beans and mung beans every time. Her tone changed again, and she complained with grievances, "You were so bad back then! How could you Mung beans and red beans are also mixed with black beans? It is clearly agreed that they are only two kinds of beans."

From the dense forest behind her came the rustling sound of the bamboo leaves being blown by the breeze. She closed her eyes and listened to it, her mood was unprecedentedly peaceful and peaceful.

However, this peace didn't last long, and was interrupted by the sound that followed.

"Xiaoyao, so you are here. Grandpa understands you." Before seeing Reiko Hayakawa, her energetic voice came first, "You woke up so early, did you sleep well?" ?”

Not long after, Shimizu Haruka saw Hayakawa Reiko stepping into the pavilion.However, today's Reiko Hayakawa is no longer the casual casual outfit of yesterday, but a very formal bright yellow embroidered kimono, which is exquisite, beautiful and lively.

At this time, Haruka Shimizu discovered that Reiko Hayakawa's facial features are very beautiful, and even after such a tidying up, it makes people's eyes shine.It's just that she was dressed too casually yesterday, so that even her delicate facial features lost a bit of aura.

Clothes make a man!

"Reiko, good morning." After Asahayakawa nodded, Shimizu Haruka did not hesitate to praise her, "You are beautiful today."

"Hehe, is it?" Both girls and women like to hear compliments from others, especially when the other party is also a beautiful woman.Therefore, Hayakawa Reiko was a little shy for the first time, but after seeing the surprise on Shimizu Haruka's face, she immediately straightened her face, "Xiaoyao, sir will arrive soon, and the appointment with the guest is at nine o'clock in the morning. So, we don't have much time, after breakfast, you still have to wash and change clothes, um...it may be a bit troublesome, but it doesn't matter, I will help. "
