Chapter 2217: Late Autumn in Jincheng (VII)

The morning at Wayne Manor was as peaceful and tranquil as ever.

Click, click, click.

"Miss Aisha, please don't bite the garden fence while I'm watering. It will wet your freshly groomed hair."

"Alfred, my father sent someone to deliver the Arctic sweet shrimps just off the dock. Which layer of the freezer should I put them in?"

"Don't put them in yet. Let me eat two first."

"Hey! Jason, you can't get up early in the morning to eat ice!"

"No, I won't. I'm going to the garden to see Alfred."

"Master Dick, please take Miss Aisha away and help her wipe her hair. If you can't find the hairband, let Harley look for it in the second drawer of the dressing table in Ms. Selina's room."

"Come on, she is definitely not in her room. I saw her sneaking over the balcony last night. I bet the two of them are sleeping soundly."

"You are so embarrassed to talk about them, Harley Quinzel. You slipped from the roof last night. Why did you land on the balcony of my room? The stage is almost scared to death! "" I am a surprise for you, but I have prepared a gift to celebrate the victory of the ball, don't you want it. "" What good gifts can you prepare? Twelve shops, four of them are renovating. I plan to give you one family. If you do n’t want, I will contact the decoration team. It's her "" God, so we have to have a shop? "Alfred, has anyone made an appointment to visit?!" Jason stretched his neck and turned his head to shout towards the garden behind.

"No, no, gentlemen, don't get close to the gate yet, I'll go over and take a look."

Alfred maintained his usual vigilance and asked the children to stay away from the door. He did not receive any visit appointments from anyone, and James and Mayor Roy, who always had urgent matters, usually did not come so early.

After opening the door, Alfred was very surprised because it was Schiller standing outside the door.

"Good morning, professor." Alfred did not accuse Schiller of not having an appointment, because the professor usually valued appointments more than anyone else and would never visit suddenly, and if he did not do so, it meant that the matter must be urgent.

"Mr. Wayne is still sleeping, do you need me to wake him up?" Alfred asked after closing the door, and the children were incredibly quiet. They obviously thought of the same thing as Alfred. Was there another murder? Or was there something unexpected at the festival? They began to feel nervous.

But Schiller just sighed and said, "Alfred, don't you really consider replacing the telephone at Wayne Manor with a more sensitive satellite signal phone?"

Alfred was stunned. He turned his head to look at the old phone that had been placed in the living room. He looked at Schiller again. Schiller shook his head and said, "I made about three calls yesterday, in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, but none of them worked, so I had to visit rashly."

"Oh my God." Alfred sighed and immediately went to check the telephone line. The children followed him noisily, turning their heads to look at Schiller as they walked forward.

"Did Elsa bite the telephone wire?" Dick scratched his head and said, "I saw her playing under the tree yesterday."

"I didn't." Elsa was good at talking. She retorted, "I was catching earthworms. Who can tell the difference between earthworms and telephone wires?"

"Maybe it's your teeth. I don't think it's controlled by your brain, at least not very well."

Dick usually doesn't have such a sharp tongue, they all know it, but yesterday when they were basking in the sun by the pond in the garden, Dick's chair collapsed, and there was Elsa's tooth mark on one leg - this thing is almost becoming the symbol of Wayne Manor, and there are few furniture without this thing.

"It's really too old." Elsa sighed and said, "Although I may have bitten it, it's definitely not entirely my fault that it collapsed."

They followed Alfred all the way to the garden to check the buried telephone wires. There are few buildings in the manor area, and they are not densely packed. Usually there are no backup telephone lines. When Alfred saw a piece of charred land, he knew that it was struck by lightning again.

He looked up at the lightning rod again, and found that the lightning rod on the roof had collapsed long ago. Everyone's eyes fell on Harley, who shook her head, pointed to the roof and said, "I came down from that side, and it's impossible for me to touch the lightning rod."

The children took the ladder and climbed onto the roof. Finally, Jason found a sparrow feather next to the collapsed and damaged lightning rod.

"I don't know how big a scarecrow we need to put up to drive this thing away." Jason held the feather in one hand and the ladder in the other, and jumped down the last two steps.

Everyone came over, including Schiller and Alfred, and then Schiller found that the feather in Jason's hand was almost longer than his arm.

"I'm really sorry, professor, I didn't notice this series of accidents in time, and it was definitely not my intention not to answer the phone."

But Schiller stood at the entrance of the porch and looked around and said, "In fact, did Bruce tell you that he planned to expand and renovate Wayne Manor?"

Alfred paused and said, "Yes, everyone who comes here will compliment the decoration style here, but if they stay for a night, they will find that it is just a glitz and glamour."

"This manor is too old. Although it has experienced an initial relocation, it can still be regarded as one of the earliest buildings in Gotham. The only building built at the same time and still well preserved to this day is probably the Gotham Cathedral."

"Thanks to Wayne's investment in the cathedral "Repair." "Yes, Daniel told me that it is definitely a great test for the exterior wall of the Gotham building. If it was not the previous renovation, I am afraid that we would see the horror scene of angel molting." After the squeak, my mother was worried that I was pressed by it every day. "Dick also had something to say. He pretended to shake his head deeply and said," Although there are a lot of strange things that happened to me, the strange thing in the recent period belongs to my workbook. "Schiller asked." Alfred groaned and answered: "Maybe proper repair is necessary, but what makes me uncertain is to expand this part. We have no more land." Alfred's words naturally metaphorically. Now the southern district where the Wayne Manor is located is already a very mature rich area. The renovation of the manor is also a big problem. Most of the things here are protected by the Cultural Relics Protection Law, especially the whole house, which means that they can only make minor adjustments, such as replacing the furniture and walls inside, but the exterior walls and structure cannot be moved.

But the biggest problem with Wayne Manor is that the structure of the house is not reasonable enough. If the layout of the building cannot be adjusted, it will probably return to its original state in the end.

So instead of spending a lot of energy to renovate and renovate, it is better to buy a new manor directly, so that they can have newer, larger and more convenient facilities.

"I think none of the existing manors in Gotham are enough to meet the needs of the Wayne family." Alfred took a breath, and the cold air in the early autumn morning entered his lungs, making him sigh comfortably, and said: "We looked at the villa evaluation map, but did not find any manor that meets the requirements of the Wayne family."

"Of course we need a lot of things, because we have many family members." When Alfred said this, there was no distress on his face, only that he could not be more proud, "Master and Madam, I mean Thomas and Martha, they will always come back to live, and the living of the master and mistress cannot be sloppy."

"Of course there are Bruce and Selina, which is more critical, and determines whether Master Bruce can show Selina his love nest. To be honest, I think this house is not decent enough in front of Miss Selina."

"It's a bit too old-fashioned and conservative. It is very likely that this lady will think that the Wayne family is old-fashioned, strict, and inflexible. This is not a good impression."

"How about buying a piece of land?" Schiller suggested. He said, "The area is large enough and the scenery is good enough, and then the engineering team of the Gotham renovation project will be pulled over. He We have accumulated rich experience, and they must be able to build a satisfactory manor. "Alfred nodded, apparently in favor of Schiller's proposal, Schiller groaned, and then said," Alfred, I have no offense, this is also your freedom, but how long did you not take this? " "I never thought that those good days would come back in the past. Now I have so many children, and I must take care of each of them." "But they also make you nervous and tired. Bringing children is not a relaxed job. Their age and family are different. The difficulty is unimaginable." But I have a lot of things to deal with. Arrange the engineering team in, install water slides, clean the swimming pool to play with the children, clean the sand pits, clean the swimsuit, and until this morning I have time to water the plant.

As a result, Schiller heard Alfred sighing, "Would I not hire him if there was one? Professor Schiller, you should know best that all the graduates in the past 20 years are like your housekeeper Merkel."

Schiller stopped talking.

"By the way, Professor, what are you doing here?"

"My housekeeper Merkel thinks the music festival is interesting, but I don't plan to attend, so I plan to give him a vacation for a while. He said that this requires the consent of the recommender."

Schiller and Alfred looked at each other and sighed together.
