Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 607 30

That afternoon, Tang Qianye returned to the manor in a carriage with 6 of his purchased subordinates.

Although the stowaways under Ma Feng speak different languages ​​and look strange, they do not have a deep understanding of the city. Among the six people, only Alan, an old migrant worker and chef apprentice, knew some secrets about this manor.

But of course the quirky girl understood that silver coins were more valuable than life, so she did not spread fear.

When the sun dispersed its last rays of light and darkness enveloped the earth, Tang Qianye led six servants back to Nicholson Manor.

After three years, Ge Lin and Mo Kui once again returned to the familiar aristocratic mansion, but this time they had to face a rather dilapidated mansion.

Among the six servants, only two of them had experience working in a noble mansion.

The two lit candles and wall lamps, and after a rough walk around the manor, they found that although the manor had only been roughly cleaned.

There is still a lot of dust accumulated in the corners of the room.

Many of the walls and ceilings have been eaten away by insects and ants and cannot be used at all. As for some wooden steps, it is even very likely that they will break and cause life-threatening injuries.

The porters delivering the furniture did only minimal cleaning out of fear for the house.

This dilapidated manor is far from habitable.

"Back to the housekeeper, if Miss Xueyi really wants to live in this residence, we need at least 10 days to clean it more carefully."

After a full morning of inspection, Mo Kui walked up to Tang Qianye with a piece of paper.

"In the first three working days, the six of us had to go to the surrounding woods to cut down enough trees, dig out wooden boards, seal and paint. Most of the wood in the manor can no longer be used.

There are large numbers of silverfish hiding in rotten wood. There are countless spider centipedes living under the floor.

We must clean up all the rotten boards, otherwise these pests will crawl onto Miss Xueyi's bed in the middle of the night, which would be a very scary thing. "

"We will replace some wooden structures and decorations in the three houses if we can. Those that cannot be replaced will also need to be treated with fireworks. All hidden insect eggs must be killed."

"This part of the work may take a month or even longer, but we can try to clear out the main house within seven days. This will at least ensure that Miss Xueyi will not be living under someone else's roof or living in a hotel for a long time."

“As for the outside yard, my son Red will plow the dirt all over and get rid of the voles hiding in it.

Nobles are not afraid of rats stealing food, but if these pests grind their teeth and damage the valuable decorations in the mansion, they will also suffer losses. "

"I won't have much to do with the stables and kitchens."

"Zheng Gelutu and Gu Lanna are very skilled. They have their own working methods. As a layman, I won't comment anymore."

On the first day after entering the manor, Mo Kui showed his outstanding work ability.

Tang Qianye had a brief discussion with Concubine Xue and expressed that this matter was feasible.

Before moving into the mansion, Belikov, the tribune of the "Corner Ridge" region, handed her an invitation to attend a gathering of nobles in the Cape Ridge region.

The Belikov Residence is a full two-day journey from the Nicholson Residence. Taking into account the polo, hunting, banquets and other activities at the aristocratic gathering, it will take at least 10 days to go back and forth.

If you stay longer, it is very possible that you will not be able to return for 2 weeks.

"Please rest assured, Miss Xueyi, we will definitely clean up the entire mansion before you return, making it worthy of the money you spent on our home."

Before leaving, Mo Kui stood beside Concubine Xue's carriage and said to the housekeeper Tang Qianye.

When people in a foreign land see people of the same race, they will always feel a kind of mysterious kindness. What's more, Mo Kui himself exudes a sense of solidity from head to toe, which will invisibly infect everyone around him.

Before leaving, Tang Qianye took out a heavy money bag from his arms and handed it to Mo Kui. He did not speak, but his meaning was clearly expressed.

When I leave, you will be the steward of this estate.

Tang Qianye had a reason to leave.

The banquet is a battlefield among nobles.

Concubine Xue had just arrived in the Byzantine Empire and had no acquaintances in Jiaoling. Tang Qianye must accompany him as a butler to solve any trouble that suddenly arises at the banquet.

Including disturbing nobles and prostitutes, rewarding jugglers, etc.

After all, Concubine Xue's life since childhood had nothing to do with "noble ladies". Although the identity of "Li Xueyi" is a peripheral member of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty.

But she couldn't act too outrageously on basic etiquette.

Tang Qianye must cultivate the aristocratic temperament that Concubine Xue should have in the shortest possible time.

When all the housekeepers and guards left, Mo Kui had to take over the duties of the housekeeper. When he needs to purchase various daily necessities, he can make his own decisions without reporting them.

A long line of carriages walked out of the main entrance of the manor under the rays of the rising sun.

Before leaving, Concubine Xue reached out and gently opened the curtains and looked at the 15-year-old boy who was riding on the wall of the courtyard and building vines next to the gate.

This young man gave her a vague feeling of strangeness.

Although she was holding a rusty sharp knife in her hand, and the 15-year-old boy was only performing the simplest work of a flower farmer, for some reason, a layer of fine goose bumps rose up on her back.

This was her body's instinctive warning to her.

"what is his name?"

Concubine Xue asked Tang Qianye beside her.

"Red."

“Red Blood Dove.

The last descendant of the Blood Pigeon tribe.
