Chapter 75 First Arrival in Tingen

On an August day, the streets and alleys of Tingen City also began to feel warm. However, as a city in the northern part of the Loen Kingdom, it has unique climate characteristics. Even in midsummer, the highest temperature is less than 30 degrees Celsius.

A rented carriage was driving on the street, Sifa sat in the carriage, looked out the window at the street lined with shops and the crowds coming and going, and sighed sincerely: "This place is much more lively than our small town."

Sitting next to him, the gray-haired, darker-skinned male servant was looking at a map of Tingen: "It's not good if the city is too big. There are too many streets to remember."

Just across from them, sat a strong man who was almost two meters tall. He has a wide chin, short shaved brown hair, and a smile in his black eyes. "According to my experience, Mr. Xifa should not travel on foot."

"Then, we only need to rent a carriage and a driver who is familiar with the streets, and we can solve the problem you raised, Matthew."

Xifa nodded slightly: "Gru is right."

This man named Gru was the bodyguard Baisen had found for Xifa. Although Xifa thinks that he does not need ordinary people to be bodyguards, Byson emphasizes that the baron's son is as far away as Tingen, and it will be suspicious if he does not have bodyguards by his side.

And because Gru was alone, their carriage was extremely crowded, and the groom needed to yell at the horses from time to time. The two poor horses had to exert more energy than usual to drag the carriage that Xifa and the others were in.

The carriage stopped in front of the Violet Hotel.

This is almost the best hotel in Tingen, it is located near the Tussock River, if the location of the room is good, you can also enjoy the scenery on the river.

After the valet checked him in, Sifa settled into the hotel's best room.

This room, with its multiple bedrooms, could accommodate two or three servants or bodyguards.

There is a living room to entertain visiting guests. There are also smoking rooms, card rooms and other rooms.

When Matthew and Gru carried their luggage into the house, Sifa opened the window, and the cool breeze from the Tussock River poured into the living room, driving away the heat of the midsummer season.

After Matthew and the others finished their work, Xifa ordered in the living room: "A few things will be left to you to do."

He looked at the valet, smiled and said, "Matthew, you may have more work. We are coming to Tingen this time to visit some gentlemen."

"So in the next few days, I need you to go to the homes of these gentlemen first, meet their housekeepers first, and make an appointment for me."

"Therefore, you need to prepare some gifts first, not many, but sincere."

"The people we are going to visit include Councilor Maynard, Sir Deville, Mr. McGovern, etc. You already have their addresses, you can prepare gifts for a day or two, and then spend a few days visiting each house."

The servant wiped his sweat and nodded, "I'll take care of it, sir."

Xifa nodded and encouraged: "I know, for a servant, your work is a bit heavy. However, you might as well regard it as a practice before becoming a housekeeper."

Matthew's eyes brightened: "Sir, you mean, I have a chance to be a housekeeper?"

"Why is there no chance?" Xifa deliberately looked around, "Do you think I have a butler to assist me?"

The implication of Sifa could not be more obvious.

Matthew also understands that, as the baron's son, Sifa will start a family of his own sooner or later. At that time, he will need a housekeeper, and he has the opportunity to be qualified for that role.

For the male servant, the butler could be said to be the end of his career. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, how could he not be excited.

Xifa took out his wallet, counted 50 pounds, and handed it to Matthew: "Remember, the gift must match our identity."

Then he ordered another 20 pounds and handed it to Gru.

Xifa looked at the big man and said, "As you said just now, we need a carriage and a driver who is familiar with Tingen. So I will leave this matter to you."

"It should be noted that the compartment of the carriage should be as spacious as possible. I don't think you would like the crowded feeling just now, would you?"

The bodyguard laughed and nodded: "Sir, you are really thoughtful."

He was also worried: "It's just that if the carriage is bigger, I'm afraid four horses will be needed to pull the carriage. If this is the case, the cost will be higher."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Xifa thought, the activity funds given by Bison, plus his annuity and previous savings, now he can use about 12,000 pounds.

Not to mention Tingen, this money can be regarded as a rich man even in Backlandry.

He smiled and said, "I'm not short of money, and I don't want to reduce the quality of life because of saving expenses."

Moreover, the person I am going to visit next is not a small character, so I have to pay attention to the image and not look too shabby.

Xifa stood up: "Go, do things better, and tell me if you don't have enough money."

After Matthew and Gru left, Xifa had no plans to rest. He took off his formal clothes, put on a knee-length thin windbreaker, put on 'Blood Praise' and 'Shadow Gloves', and left the hotel with a letter from his mother.

Taking a public carriage in a low-key way, Xifa arrived at Narcissus Street.

The houses here are all row buildings, with polygonal hipped roofs and gray-blue exterior walls, and each house has a chimney erected.

Since there are no lawns and gardens and no porch, the entrance faces the street directly.

Xifa guessed that this place should be rented by those whose income is not bad, but far below the middle class.

It can also be seen from this that the income of Mr. 'Kyle Garden' is not particularly good.

When he was walking through the street, a young girl with long black hair and loose hair came towards him. She had a thin face, brown eyes reflecting the afternoon sun, and a beautiful face.

Even though she was only wearing a plain dress, the girl who still exuded a youthful atmosphere still made Sifa take a second look.

He noticed that the girl was adjusting a pocket watch, holding it to her ear and listening to something.

As expected of a girl in a city, she is different from a girl in a small town.

Xifa was deeply moved, and found room No. 5, and knocked on the door.

However, no response was received.

That gentleman is not at home? Or do you no longer live here?

After thinking about it, Xifa bought a box of lemon cakes at a nearby bakery, and then knocked on the door of Kyle's neighbor.

This time, someone opened the door very quickly.

Behind the door was a woman in her early thirties, her figure was out of shape, and she said with a somewhat impatient expression on her face, "What's the matter?"

"Good afternoon, ma'am."

Xifa responded with a bright smile, and presented the gift she had prepared in advance: "This is a freshly baked lemon cake. As a gift from me, please be sure to accept it."
