Chapter 16:

After returning from Dingle, another two days passed. Seeing that half of the time required by the system had passed, Wei Wei also became a little anxious, thinking about whether to buy a house and settle down first, and then think of a way to buy the land later. .

At this time, Felix, who had disappeared for a long time, finally returned.

As soon as he came back, he sent someone to find Wei Wei to talk in the study.

Felix came to Wei Wei to ask her about her future plans.

"I heard from the housekeeper, do you want to settle in Sardinson County?"

"Well, yes."

Wei Wei did consider whether to go to Sardinson immediately, but in the end she rejected it. First of all, she was not allowed to do so. , The time she agreed with the system is half a month, and the system will leave after half a month, and now that half of the time has passed, if she can't find a place to stay, many things will become very troublesome in the future.

Secondly, she is unfamiliar here, and she is a woman. It is not sure whether she can protect her own net worth when she goes to other places. If she stays in Sardinson County, at least the Earl here seems to be more reliable. spectrum.

Wei Wei wasn't blind either. She could see that Felix had a good impression of herself. This good feeling was enough to give her some protection from him. With Felix escorting her, her life in Sardinson would not be too long. sad. As for whether there will be a further relationship between them, Wei Wei, who is very indifferent to feelings, does not plan to think about such distant things now. For now, she has no idea about Felix. "I do have plans to settle in Sardinson, and if I can, I want to buy a house and land here, but I find that land is not easy to buy, and your attitude towards women is really not very friendly here." Wei After Wei frowned and said these words, she wanted to show a feeling that "the identity of women in the East is relatively high, and the noble girl education she received also told her that these are what she can have", so that Felix don't confuse her with the nobles here.

Otherwise, given the situation in the West, women today are just vassals of men. Not only do they have no inheritance rights, but sometimes they can't even own their own property, which all belong to their fathers and husbands.

Felix was not surprised by this side of her. From the fact that the girl was able to escape from the predicament alone, she knew that she was not as weak as she appeared.

He just told her sincerely: "I can help you find a suitable house and sell you some land, but I don't recommend you to do so."

Freemen can own their own land, and Wei Wei only needs to be Satinson's Residents naturally have the right to purchase land.

"Why? Do you think I can't manage the land well?"

Wei Wei was a little angry.

In fact, Felix really thinks so. He doesn't think any noble lady knows about the fields. Even if they ask someone to manage them, they are afraid that they will be tricked more often.

But looking at Wei Wei's appearance, he wasn't stupid enough to tell her his true thoughts to disgust her.

"It's not like this, but you also said that our side is not very friendly to women. If you have these, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect them."

Wei Wei naturally knew this.

In an era where knights would be guest robbers, wouldn't the house and land owned by an orphan be the best place to rob?

Then Felix added: "And the towns and villages in Sardinson may not be to your liking."

He learned from the housekeeper what Wei Wei has been doing recently, and Wei Wei loves cleanliness. It was obvious to all that she would only be driven crazy by the environment of those places if she went to live in other places because of the cleanliness she hated even in castles.

In fact, after seeing Dingle's situation, Wei Wei really couldn't stand it.

She bit her lip, and there was a hint of distress in her brows: "Then, Lord Count, do you have any better proposal?"

Felix's: "I don't know if you are willing to accept a job."

Wei Wei: "Job?"

Felix coughed, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, he straightened his back subconsciously, letting himself looks more believable.

"You have lived here for a few days, and you should already know that there is currently no hostess in Sardinson Castle. There are too many affairs in the castle, and I am too busy to manage it. So, if you can, I want you to work for me and run the castle."

No, man, do you think I'm stupid? Can't see your secret plan?

God fucking hired me to take care of the castle affairs, and you asked an unrelated unmarried girl to help you as the housekeeper, why don't you just kneel down and propose marriage? !

Wei Wei stared at Felix and was not fair, but she could still see that her face was a few degrees redder than before, and she really felt that the count was about to finish.

She was still thinking about how to lower people's suspicions. The other party had already planned to send her own family to her. If she had bad intentions, the Williams family might not be far from the end.

Wei Wei's head was full of complaints, but she couldn't say it. She didn't know how to react for a while, and her expression became weird.

Felix has been staring at her, naturally not missing her surprise, and quickly explained: "I want to hire you as the housekeeper of the castle, of course, this position may not be worthy of you, so I will tell others, I hired you to be Dolores' teacher."

He was probably a little flustered, but Wei Wei still understood what he said incoherently.

The teachers of the noble ladies are much nicer than the housekeepers. The former are generally held by women of status and are preferentially treated by noble families, while the latter are mostly commoners and still just servants.

But even if Wei Wei didn't know the West, she knew that neither job should be held by an unmarried young lady.

What's more, she never said she would manage this, right? This person had suspected that she could not manage the land before, so he dared to hand over the castle to her now?

Wei Wei refused without thinking: "My age is only a few years younger than Dolores, so I'm afraid I can't do this job."

Whether it's a housekeeper or a tutor, Wei Wei doesn't have one. considered.

Felix heard her words, but the point was: "Miss Weiwei, take the liberty to ask, how old are you this year?"

"Huh?" Wei Wei blinked in confusion: "Sixteen is almost seventeen." It's the age that the system has set for her, and it's the age that her new body should look like.

"Sixteen? I thought you were at most thirteen or fourteen."

No wonder Felix thought so, but Wei Wei really didn't look much older than Dolores.

So, do you think I'm thirteen or fourteen years old and still have a crush on me?

This time, Wei Wei looked at Felix like she was looking at a pervert.

[I have to be fair to him, women at this time are getting married very early, no matter if they are in the East or the West, fourteen is the age to get married, so he really doesn't have a big problem with you. 】

The truth is this, but in a short time, Felix is afraid that he will not be able to escape the title of pervert in Wei Wei.

Felix noticed his gaffe, and quickly restrained his expression, in a tone that sounded serious and serious, but in fact it was not difficult to find him happy: "No, Miss Weiwei, although I hired you to have some There are other considerations (you really said it), but in fact, I have also seriously considered whether you are qualified for this job."

In fact, before meeting Wei Wei, Felix had already planned to find a The housekeeper's plan.

Of course not a servant like Nancy, but a noble lady who has a certain status and can help him manage the internal affairs of the castle and teach his sister and niece.

Before his father died, there was such a housekeeper in the castle. She was a distant relative of the Williams family, a very old and strict old lady. If there was anything in the castle that needed the hostess to come forward She is generally in charge of her affairs, and she is also in charge of Dolores' education.

However, the old lady was really old. A few years ago, she had to go back to her hometown to retire due to physical problems. At that time, his sister-in-law got married, and the old earl handed over the castle to his daughter-in-law.

After the three masters died one after another, it was too late for them to find a replacement.

"Dolores is twelve years old this year. In two years, she will reach the age of entering the social circle. Her education problem can no longer be delayed."

"Then you can't hire me." Wei Wei frowned. : "You also know that I am from a foreign country. Our countries are so far apart, and our cultural etiquette is completely different. I don't know the etiquette of the nobles on your side.

" how to teach?

Felix coughed lightly: "Don't worry, Dolores actually has a special etiquette teacher, you can study with her, I think this will help you to integrate into the life here. Without

waiting for Wei Wei to speak, he continued, "I want to ask you to train Dolores to be an elegant and confident lady like you. I think you can see that her character is a little too cowardly.

" At one point, it was simply a rabbit that would be scared away if there was a little trouble.
