Chapter 79 The New Tutor (Part 1) (First order requested)

Fortunately, Miss Audrey Urban, the tutor hired by Alphonsus for Christina, arrived. Alfred entertained her in the living room to drink hot cocoa, and at the same time sent Artoo to the dock again to investigate the situation.

Alphonse finds his way home.

"I'm very sorry, Calais is under construction. You won't encounter any trouble on the way here, right?" As soon as Alphonse entered the door, he had a good impression of Miss Audrey who looked very young. She was dressed simply and looked smart and smart.

, although not a great beauty, she still has a bit of the beauty of Xiaojiabiyu: "I am Alphonse de Moller, welcome to Calais."

"Hello, Mr. Alphonse de Moller, is this Miss Christina? I am Audrey Urban, here to serve as a tutor." Miss Audrey smiled and stood up to say hello.

Tao.

In fact, her impression of these two siblings is not very good:

Alphonse is dressed more like a sailor than a nobleman. Even if the materials are very expensive, they can't match the simplicity of his simple combination of almost only a few colors;

And Kristina is even more difficult to deal with. She still has no waistband at the age of eleven or twelve, and she dresses very much like a Bohemian woman (Gypsy). Although the material and color also look expensive, she still can't get rid of her aesthetics.

There is a problem…

"Yes, this is Tina; Tina, say hello to Miss Audrey, she will be your tutor from now on, and you must learn from her." Alphonse smiled and pushed Christina to Audrey.

In front of the young lady, he turned around and shouted: "Mr. Alfred, is Miss Audrey's room ready?"

"We are getting ready, Second Young Master." The person who came to reply was not Alfred, but Anderson who came from the manor.

"Hey, Anderson, why are you here?" Alphonse laughed. After thinking about it, he finally understood. He replied dumbfounded: "Are you bringing a frame? Damn it, Artu, you didn't even tell me that you were here.

Fortunately you weren't in a hurry to leave."

"Father said that you might have something to explain, so he asked me to stay here for one night. I hope it won't disturb you." Anderson breathed a sigh of relief quietly. It turned out that Alphonse didn't know about his arrival and thought it was him.

I don’t give myself any face at all.

"This is Tina, Anderson, you all know each other; this is Tina's next tutor, Miss Audrey." Alphonse introduced them to each other with a smile and sat down on the sofa.

.

After everyone sat on the sofa, he signaled the maid to come over and pour drinks for everyone, and began to chat about home affairs: "During this period, I often have friends coming over to visit, and the old house is suddenly not big enough, so I can only sit there while sitting there."

The building is being expanded on one side of the house; so there will be more smoke and dust, and it will be noisier, so please don’t mind.”

"Doesn't this mean that your business is going very smoothly? My father also said that the entire city of Calais is under construction, and you are now the most famous person in Calais." Anderson praised Alphonse.

"That's still far away. Miss Audrey is from Reims, right?" Alphonse smiled and turned to Miss Audrey and asked.

"Ah, yes, have you been to Reims?" Miss Audrey asked in surprise, wondering how the other party knew that she was from Reims.

"I have never been to Reims, but I have a friend in Reims. He comes from the ancient De Gaulle family and is a trustworthy person." Alphonse smiled:

"When he first came here, his accent was exactly the same as yours, so I guess you are from Reims. During this time, he was also serving as Tina's swordsmanship teacher. Maybe you will meet often, and I believe you will get along very happily.

”

"Brother Bardis is not married yet." Christina pretended to be cute and winked, intending to scare away the newly arrived Miss Audrey.

"I hope you understand that as long as you get rid of the third tutor, I will send you to boarding school; and Miss Audrey is already the second tutor." Alphonse looked back at the person sitting

Kristina next to her warned.

"Oh." The little girl quickly lowered her head, but she recognized the general Miss Audrey and said with a smile: "What did Miss Christina's original tutor teach?"

"I like dancing." Kristina added, "In fact, music is also good. You don't need to guide my etiquette class. My etiquette teacher is already on the way."

"Teach her to be a good child, Miss Audrey. No matter what help you need, you can always ask me or Mr. Alfred for help." Alphonse smiled and said: "Tina lived in her grandfather's house when she was young.

, it was a paradise, so she got used to it.

Although she lives with me now, I am busy with business and it is difficult to take care of her. I hope you can treat her as a sister;"

"No problem, this is what I should do." Miss Audrey nodded and replied.

"As for your work arrangement, you only need to attend two hours of class every day to answer some of her daily puzzles. You are free at other times; in addition, on Sundays every week, you can go to church to worship, or you can go anywhere

Take a walk;" Alphonse continued:

"In terms of salary, in addition to the agreed annual salary of 300 livres, I will pay you an annual bonus of 50-200 livres depending on your work results. Do you have any other questions?"

"It seems that you attach great importance to Miss Christina's growth. I will do my best to teach Miss Christina..." Miss Audrey nodded and smiled,

Two hours a day, six days a week, so little working time, food and accommodation included, an annual salary of 300 livres a year, and bonuses? This is probably only explained by too much money.

"Brother, I can still go out with you for inspections, right?" The little girl suddenly became happy when she heard that there were only two hours of classes a day.

"As long as you are free." Alphonse replied with a slight smile: "Your math teacher will be here in a few days, which is what you asked for; and the etiquette teacher will also take two hours;

We are still looking for a swordsmanship teacher, but if Bardis can teach you well, let him do it first; so you will have to take six hours of lessons during the day and learn swordsmanship at night."

"I think there is no need to have an etiquette teacher, or one etiquette class a week is enough." Christina replied seriously.

"What you said makes me feel more and more the importance of etiquette teachers." Alphonse replied:

"Maybe I should increase the salary of etiquette teachers and add another hour of etiquette classes every day to teach you not to bargain when you have nothing to do."

"Sir, Miss Audrey's room has been tidied up." At this moment, Kristina's personal maid Sara followed Alfred and came to report in front of everyone.

"Sarah, you accompany Miss Audrey to her room and take a look at her room, and take whatever is missing; Mr. Alfred, tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Miss Audrey and Anderson will attend the dinner with us tonight. You

Come and join us too." Alphonse said with a smile.

Now that Anderson is a guest, he naturally has to be invited to the banquet; and Alfred, as Anderson's father, naturally has to attend; his son cannot be a guest at the banquet, and as a father, Alfred

Will you be serving at the side now?

"Yes, sir." Alfred bowed and replied, while Miss Audrey stood up to leave and followed Sarah to see her room.

"How is the manor going these days?" After Miss Audrey left, Alphonse looked at Anderson and asked.

"Since Madam arrived, the villa and garden have been renovated a lot. They are much better than when you left. She also often invites nearby nobles to come to the manor for banquets, which has brought a lot of popularity to the manor. Every guest is very impressed.

The manor is full of praise." Anderson replied softly:

"But as a result, the financial situation of the manor was very unsatisfactory, and some old things had to be sold to maintain expenses."

"Armand took hundreds of livres from me and spent them all?" Alphonse asked.

"It should be used up this week. Sir, he also pawned two grocery stores in the city and transferred the manpower back to the manor to make the frames." Anderson thought for a while and then said: "Madam's cousin Lieutenant?

Sir Vigeri also promised to expand some business for the manor; but Sir Vigeri has never been to the manor since he came to Calais last time. Sir and his wife are planning to prepare some funds and ask Sir Vigeri to help open a sales store in Paris.

Mirrors are sold in stores."

"That's a good idea. Are they going to make their own mirrors?" Alphonse smiled.

"Well... Sir and Madam think the mirror you sent is very good, and it only costs 30 livres. They can buy it back and transport it to Paris for sale..." Anderson replied awkwardly.

"This is a good idea; but unfortunately, my mirror-making workshop has been transferred to the Merchant Alliance, and the Merchant Alliance has now opened an exchange for auction. It is impossible for Armand to buy the merchant for 30 livres.

The mirror of the alliance." Alphonse replied calmly.

"I will inform Sir when I get back." Anderson nodded. He also felt that Armand was taking it too much for granted. If the Merchant Alliance intended to launch a mirror with a wholesale price of only 30 livres, it would have spread throughout the Pierty region long ago;

But there is currently no news from the outside. It is clear that the business alliance is selling the goods and selling the mirrors at a higher price through other methods!

"Is this...a mirror from Venice?" In the backyard of the house, when Audrey walked into the room, she first saw the large makeup mirror hanging in front of the dressing table!

This mirror was at least 20 times the size of the dressing mirror she carried, and it was as smooth and clear as herself in the painting. This made her sincerely sigh at Alphonse's arrogance! It was just a tutor's room, and it was
