Rosalina Flint, the current head of the Flint family.

As a pureblood with a place in the "Pureblood Directory", it has to be said that the Flint family has its own special features.

It is said that because the ancestor who founded this family started his business by marrying the only daughter of an ancient wizard family at that time, he was particularly afraid of his wife. For this reason, he even set a "every generation of the Flint family"

There is a rule that the head of the family must be a female descendant.

In fact, the ancestor's surname was not originally "Flint". This surname came from his wife, a descendant of the ancient wizard.

Of course, to this day, these stories have long been impossible to study.

After all, the first generation Mr. Flint seemed to have lived longer than his wife. Before he died of old age, he probably burned all these embarrassing records, so that the descendants of the Flint family also

I just know some slightly subtle rumors.

However, it is worth mentioning that, whether it is a continuation of the bloodline of the fierce wife of their ancestors, every generation of women in the Flint family has a bad temper. Not to mention reprimanding servants, sometimes

If something goes wrong, even the guests will be treated harshly.

For this reason, although the Flint family is also one of the twenty-eight holy pure-blood families, and the family bloodline is derived from the descendants of ancient wizards, they have never been very popular with other pure-blood families.

Come to think of it, if you come to their home as a guest, you will probably get scolded and criticized. Who would be willing to have more in-depth interactions with them once the number of times increases?

Eluri, the petite half-elf maid, grew up in the Flint family manor where almost no outsiders came.

"Tuk-tuk."

In the corridor on the south side of the third floor of the villa, two slight knocks on the door suddenly sounded, with a restraint that went beyond etiquette.

Hearing a soft hum from the study, Yi Luli stretched out her hand to turn the doorknob, slowed down and walked in - at this time, the master should be in the young master's study to observe the private professor's teaching, and then she

I will take the young master to the restaurant for lunch.

Because the eldest son of the Flint family, Marcus Flint, did not study well at first. Although he also entered Slytherin, he failed to pass the exam in the last year and was left behind. So now, the master has

The young master kept a close eye on him and had already arranged many private lessons for him even before he was old enough to enter Hogwarts.

To be honest, Iluli thinks this is very unfair to the young master. After all, in this Flint family, every head of the family will be a female descendant. No matter how hard the young master works, he will only be his sister's assistant in the future.

That’s all.

But no matter what, Iluli is just a servant, and she can only think about these thoughts in her heart, saying that she will definitely not say them out.

As soon as she entered the study room, she saw the young master and the private professor sitting at the desk. One was immersed in writing, while the other was occasionally giving guidance.

As for the owner, Rosalina Flint, she is currently sitting by the window of the study, enjoying the warm sunshine approaching noon and sipping a cup of expensive black tea.

"Madam, Iluli is here to receive the punishment."

Because there was a lecture in the study, Iluli lowered her voice very softly. But even so, Mrs. Flint's vulture-like eyes still dug hard, causing her to lower her head even lower.

Seeing that the master glared at her, he no longer reacted to her appearance. Yiluli understood that the master did not want to disturb the young master's study at this time, so she simply walked to the wall and stood silently.

He stood still and waited for the end of the teaching time.

Taking advantage of this moment, Iluli just stood there, observing her master's expression from the corner of her eyes.

It can be seen that the appearance of the female head of the Flint family is still as "strong" as ever. Looking at her tall and thick appearance, she is just like a smaller version of Hagrid.

But on such a rough body, she wore a burgundy robe of fine quality and fine design, which made her look like a big bloody cake.

Yes, the kind you often see at vampires’ late-night banquets!

At this time, on the head located at the top of this "blood cake", Rosalina's expression was undoubtedly showing a chill and displeasure.

Iluli just glanced at it secretly, then quickly withdrew her gaze and silently returned to the pattern of the carpet in front of her.

After that, about half an hour passed before the young master's personal professor slowly stood up and bowed slightly in the direction of Mrs. Flint.

"Madam, the young master's charms course ends here today. I will come again at this time tomorrow."

"Um."

Mrs. Flint nodded lightly, as if she didn't want to talk to him too much.

However, the private professor didn't seem to care about her attitude towards him. After all, he took the initiative to apply for the job under the premise of knowing clearly what the Flint family was like, and he already understood the moral character of this family.

What's more, the Flint family is actually just a venomous person with a bad temper. They are not stingy at all when paying his salary. For a lot of gold galleons, it's nothing to be stingy.

"Then I'll go back, madam, young master, see you tomorrow."

After that, the middle-aged wizard saluted again and then walked towards the door. There were other servants waiting outside, and they would assign one person to be responsible for sending him to the outside of the manor. There was no anti-Apparition spell.

Area.

After watching the other party leave, Iluli understood - maybe it was her turn to deal with her.

So when Mrs. Flint put down her teacup and stood up, she said nothing.

"Go to the restaurant and get ready to eat."

The lady seemed to have forgotten the existence of Iluli. After saying something to her youngest son, she also took steps towards the door.

On the contrary, the young master who was following his mother took a cautious look at Eluli when he passed by the door.

"Why come back?"

After the mother and son left the study room, Iluli recalled with some confusion what the young master said to her before going out - because he did not dare to be heard by his mother, he just did

Even though she was making lip-syncs, Yiluli could still tell the difference quickly.

Yes, the young master is different from his mother, brothers and sisters. Not only is he surprisingly good-tempered, but he is also a child who knows how to consider others.

But after all, he was still too young and didn't know the mandatory effect of the servant contract, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.

Not to mention, Iluli actually has some kind of attachment deep in her heart to this manor, this "home". If it is not necessary, she will probably never think of leaving in her lifetime.

However, Iluli couldn't help but sigh secretly at the young master's kind care for her.

"well……"

Shaking her head slightly, she stopped staying, rubbed her still dizzy forehead, and then turned and walked out of the study. When she came to the corridor, she found that there was no one outside.

…

Iluli knows her master well and knows that when the other person is angry, it is best not to hang around where she can see her.

So after leaving the study, she tried to avoid the other party's sight for almost the whole afternoon.

However, if she still wants to live here, she will naturally have to do the work that should be done by her. Even if she has to do things while trying not to let the wife see her as much as possible, this will undoubtedly be very difficult.

But what's more worth mentioning is that, whether it was the madam's order or the servants who were jealous of her, the lunch was not prepared for her. For this reason, she could only spend some time baking some bread herself.

I hurriedly filled my stomach with water.

It wasn't until the end of dinner that the maid Rose, who was particularly jealous of her, suddenly came to her side and told her with a gloating face that the lady had called her over.

Iluli is obviously not very good at food-related spells. The pieces of bread she baked were a bit hard. Even if they were soaked in water, it was still quite difficult to chew.

After hearing Rose's message, she simply put down the bread, took a sip of more water, and left the kitchen in silence, heading towards the restaurant.

Not long after, Iluli pushed open the side door of the restaurant, lowered her eyes slightly, and stood by the wall with her hands folded.

In addition to Mrs. Flint and the young son just now, there were many other family members in the restaurant. Among them was Marcus Flint, who had played Quidditch with Harry and the others and had a ruffian look on his face.

, and Elena Flint, the youngest sister in the family.

On the other side of this huge restaurant, almost all the servants of the entire Flint family lined up to stand at the gate. At the front was a row of low-browed house elves.

Mrs. Flint, who was sitting at the end of the dining table, raised her eyebrows when she saw Iluli coming over and said coldly:

"come over."

Before she finished speaking, Iluli slowly walked over with her head slightly lowered and came to the lady's seat.

"Snapped!"

A hard slap fell on her face in an instant. Perhaps because Mrs. Flint was not as strong as a woman, this slap was so powerful that it slapped the petite Iluli in one fell swoop.

He fell to the cold ground.

Iluli had forcefully used fairy magic today, and she hadn't fully recovered yet. This attack made her mind go into chaos, so much so that even the burning feeling on her cheeks became blurred.

"Who made you fall? Stand up!"

Mrs. Flint's cold voice entered Iluli's ears hazily, and seemed a little distorted when mixed with a burst of tinnitus.

But after Iluli managed to distinguish it, she still got up from the ground without saying a word.

"Pa!" (To be continued)
