In the hall, Guilun saw the butler's behavior and said with a smile: "If it's inconvenient, then I will avoid it first."
Fang Ming shook his head and replied: "It's not inconvenient. The housekeeper just told me that a servant has unclean hands and feet and asked me how to deal with it."
After answering Guilun, Fang Ming motioned to the steward to bring the servant directly to the hall. The steward nodded and walked out of the hall, and two servants in charge of taking care of the manor walked in, pressing a young man in.
"Sir, it's him. He just found a set of silver cutlery under his bed. It's the same set that was lost in the kitchen."
The butler held a set of tableware in his hand. They were all made of silver and were left by the earliest owner of the castle. When Wang Xin took over the castle, he still used these tableware.
Fang Ming looked at the young man, who was a young man with dark brown eyes. He raised his head and glanced at Fang Ming, then lowered his head and remained silent.
"What does he do?"
To be honest, although I have been staying in the castle for a few days, I still don't know all the servants in the castle, Fang Ming. I only know that there are a total of sixteen servants in the entire castle.
"Sir, he is responsible for raising horses. Mr. Wang originally raised several BMWs in the castle."
Raise horses?
Fang Ming suddenly remembered that for the British upper class, equestrianism was also necessary. This can be seen from how popular horse racing is in Xiangjiang, and the custom of horse racing in Xiangjiang was also passed down from the British.
For the British aristocrats and those in the upper class, raising a good horse is a must. It will be more honorable if your own horse wins in a competition. From this point of view, the British aristocrats are actually the same as those in the Qing Dynasty.
The children of the Eight Banners can also play.
"Mr. Wang left and took the horses with him. He must have known that he couldn't stay in this castle anymore, so he stole things."
The butler's guess was reasonable, and the man's silence also meant that he acquiesced.
"May I have your name?"
Fang Ming looked at the young man, but he didn't respond. The butler had no choice but to say: "His name is Sherma, and he is Irish."
"Mr. Qin, for people with unclean hands and feet like this, you can report it to the housekeeping company. In this case, no one will dare to use him in the future."
Guilun's words made Deshelma raise her head. There was anger in her eyes, but it soon turned into sadness and she lowered her head.
Fang Ming pondered, and after a while he made a decision, "Let him leave."
As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper and the other two servants looked at Fang Ming with surprised expressions, and even Gui Lun had a look of confusion on his face.
"Mr. Qin, you must not be merciful at this time. You must know that if you are merciful to him today, then this matter will be spread to the ears of all the servants, and those servants will be even more unscrupulous. Today he just stole a piece of tableware.
Next time, another servant might steal something precious."
Gui Lun quickly spoke to persuade, this time using Mandarin that only she and Fang Ming could understand.
"Miss Gui, thank you for the reminder, but I have already made a decision."
Fang Ming smiled slightly. Gui Lun was indeed right. This is why superiors should maintain dignity towards their subordinates. Sometimes it is not a good thing for superiors to get along with their subordinates.
"Thank you sir."
Knowing that Fang Ming had made up his mind, the housekeeper shouted to Xierma, but Xierma just lowered her head and remained silent.
"Take him out and let him leave after paying off his wages."
Fang Ming waved his hand and signaled the housekeeper to take Sherma away. The reason why he let Sherma go in the end was not because he was a bad person, but because it could be seen from Sherma's face that Sherma was
Ma's parents were plagued by illness, and the palace of her parents was bleak.
At the same time, the jeans Sherma was wearing were already turning white, which meant that he had worn these clothes for at least several years, which meant that Sherma was not the kind of person who spends money lavishly.
A person whose parents are sick lives a very frugal life. Fang Ming almost knows the purpose of Sherma stealing the tableware. She just wants to exchange money for her parents' medical treatment.
Moreover, Sherma should be a person with strong self-esteem. Judging from the housekeeper's reaction, others don't know Sherma's family situation. Such a person would never steal tableware unless he was desperate.
Of course, although he sympathized, Fang Ming would not keep such a person by his side anymore. It was a kindness not to call the police.
However, what even Fang Ming himself did not expect was that his actions today would affect something in the future...
The housekeeper took Sherma down, and Guilun could only give up persuading him. He smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Qin, you are really a good person."
"I'm not a good person, I just judge people more accurately."
Fang Ming answered meaningfully. Although Gui Lun still wanted to ask, looking at Fang Ming's behavior of drinking tea, he knew that Fang Ming did not want to continue this topic.
"By the way, I came here this time to tell you something. There is a charity party in the city tonight. I wonder if Mr. Qin are you interested in attending?"
Guilun told her the real purpose of coming here. Whether it is at home or abroad, the so-called charity party is not only a donation, but also a gathering of people from the upper class, and it is also the best opportunity to expand contacts.
Generally, this kind of charity party is either organized by a large organization, a wealthy person or the government. In short, those who can attend represent a certain status in the city.
For Gui Lun, such a party was something she wanted to squeeze into. This time she managed to get two tickets, so naturally she couldn't waste this opportunity.
"This charity gala is organized by a Sheffield aristocratic family with a history of hundreds of years. This family has businesses all over the UK and even has many industries abroad. It can be called a real giant."
Seeing that Fang Ming still looked indifferent, Gui Lun thought for a moment and continued: "Of course, such a family must know a little more than ordinary people, and they might know the surname Vlad you mentioned, Mr. Qin.
."
When Gui Lun said these words, Fang Ming was indeed moved. Helping Alice find her family was one of the things he had to do.
"Miss Gui, do you usually need a ticket for such a party? I..."
"Mr. Qin, I happen to have two admission tickets here, so this is not a problem."
Hearing Gui Lun's words, Fang Ming smiled. In that case, it wouldn't hurt to go to the charity party, and the most important thing was to see if he could find out anything about the Alice family.
In the afternoon, Guilun visited the castle, but Fang Ming did not accompany him because he wanted to continue to stare at the land, which was the place he cared most about.
Seeing Fang Ming just digging around in the soil with a hammer on his bare feet, Gui Lun felt a little disdainful. In her opinion, people from the upper class should not do this kind of work. Even if they really like flowers and plants, they can only get them at most.
Just plant and water with a shovel.
As people in China often say, going to the fields to do farm work without even getting your hands dirty is just a show.
"Alice, do you still know me, sister?"
Guilun saw Alice sitting in a toy car and went up to her with a friendly smile on her face, but Alice ignored her at all and just walked past her with a giggle.
"Well……"
"elder brother."
Alice got off the toy car and ran directly to Fang Ming. Not afraid of getting dirty, she grabbed the dirt on the ground, followed Fang Ming's example to wet the dirt, and then put it back.
"Miss Alice, this will make you dirty."
The servant who was responsible for taking care of Alice wanted to stop her, but Fang Ming waved his hand, "It's okay, let her play."
For Fang Ming, there is nothing wrong with children being a little dirty. There is no need to be pampered like flowers in a greenhouse. When he was a child, he and Dazhu started digging in the mud and catching earthworms when he was three or four years old.
When he was six years old, he even started climbing trees to dig out bird eggs.
This made Gui Lun, who was watching from a distance, even more bearable, but thinking of her own ambitions and goals, she had to hold back.
…
As night fell, the housekeeper had already prepared a car at the entrance of the hall. This time the castle was transferred. In addition to taking away a few of his beloved horses, Wang Xin left everything else here, including several luxury cars.
At Gui Lun's suggestion, Fang Ming changed into a more formal suit, while Gui Lun wore a rose-colored long evening gown with the entire back hollowed out, revealing smooth and fair skin.
The person driving the car was a servant of the castle. Zhou Hai was originally clamoring to attend, but after Fang Ming glanced at him, he ended up staying in the castle angrily and playing a game of Jenga blocks with Alice.
The car stopped at a manor villa in the center of the city. A manor villa can be built in the city center. It is obvious that the owner of this villa has financial resources. At this moment, there are already many luxury cars parked in front of the villa.
The driver parked the car under the guidance of the security guard. Fang Ming and Guilun had already got out of the car when they were at the door. After showing their admission tickets, they walked into the manor under the guidance of the concierge.
The manor was filled with drinks and various kinds of food. Waiters and waiters were running around carrying plates. Well-dressed men led beautiful and noble women to raise glasses and talk to each other.
This kind of dance usually involves both men and women. Gui Lun's eyes always had something special. At the same time, he tried to put his hand on Fang Ming's arm, but he didn't know whether Fang Ming did it intentionally or unintentionally.
He opened half a body gap and hid.
Guilun was unwilling to give in and chased after him, preparing to try again, but at this moment, a surprised voice came from not far away.
"Guilun, are you here too?"
ps: I know Fang Ming hasn’t pretended to be cool for a long time, and you are all tired of watching it, so let’s pretend for a while.
