1 Chapter 1 Apply for a Male Servant

"Hey Little Gary, do you make money today?"

  With yellow teeth, Paul Belitez sat on an old wooden stool at the entrance of the alley in the slum, leaning against the blackened wall and looking at the slightly thin black-haired boy in front of them maliciously.

  Gary Lawrence looked at him innocently, hiding the sharpness in his eyes. His mouth twitched, looking like he was about to cry.

  Seeing Gary Lawrence's expression, Paul Belitez knew that he must have no income today. He crossed his legs and looked at the woman in leather skirt standing on the side of the street.

  Gary Lawrence pursed his lips and stood still with tears in his eyes for a long time. Seeing that Paul Belitez really didn't want to talk to him, he slowly walked towards his house.

  The moment Gary Lawrence turned around, his pursed mouth turned into a sneer, and the tears at the corners of his eyes formed a strong contrast to his expression at the moment.

  He unconsciously touched the black bread hidden in his trousers and walked unhurriedly.

  He knew that once he sped up or tried to walk faster, Paul Belitez would rush up to search him and take away all the food and money hidden in him.

  A trace of confusion and bitterness flashed through Gary Lawrence's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

  He passed through a dirty alley and stopped in front of an old warehouse.

  There was a huge lock hanging at the door of the warehouse. The lock was broken, so was the door. A strong smell of blood and a burst of knocking sound came from the old door hole.

  Gary Lawrence's body suddenly froze and he pulled open the iron door.

  The scene inside made him instantly red eyed.

  Roken Lawrence, with gray temples, had fallen to the ground. One of his legs was crooked, and the other was limp. Two planks with cloth were thrown aside.

  And he was madly beating his bloody leg.

Uncle Roken! "

  Gary Lawrence rushed forward and grabbed Roken Lawrence's waving hands, staring at him with red eyes.

  Roken Lawrence's turbid eyes reacted a little when he saw Gary Lawrence.

  Gary Lawrence sighed. It had been like this since uncle Roken broke his leg.

  He slowly helped Roken Lawrence to the bed and closed the door.

  Gary Lawrence took out two pieces of black bread and a piece of cloth from his trouser legs. 5 copper coins were wrapped in the cloth.

1 copper coin could buy two pieces of black bread, and 5 copper coins were enough for them to save money for several days.

  Gary Lawrence tore open the black bread and fed it to Roken Lawrence's mouth.

Uncle Ken, I have something to tell you. "

  Gary Lawrence knew that Roken Lawrence might not listen to him, but he still wanted to speak it out.

  In the past two days, a big shot came to the city, who is a noble man, and bought the biggest manor in the city. "

  Today, I saw a notice posted at the dock, saying that if you want to recruit a servant, you can sign up for it as long as you are a civilian, and you can get 10 interests every month! "

  Besides, I've heard that the selected male servant can live in the manor with his family. "

Uncle Ken, when I make 10 interests, I will take you to see the best doctor. Your legs will definitely recover! "

  Gary Lawrence chattered, tearing the black bread in his hand, but found that something was wrong.

  The black bread he put in front of Uncle Ken's mouth was not eaten up.

  Gary Lawrence raised his head and saw a pair of tearful eyes.

  Roken Lawrence suddenly hugged Gary Lawrence and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I can't control myself. I'm sorry! "

  Gary Lawrence's body was stiff. He patted Roken Lawrence on the shoulder in disbelief. "Uncle Roken?"

  Roken Lawrence let go of him and punched him on the shoulder. "I'm fine, Gary. You can go to apply for a male servant. When my legs recover, I'll work hard to make money!"

  Gary Lawrence nodded, covering the tears in his eyes.

  Looking at Gary Lawrence, Roken Lawrence wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. He wanted to explain his previous state, but he didn't say anything.

  Gary Lawrence wiped his eyes secretly and raised his head with a smile. "Well, make a lot of money and then move out of here!"

  Thinking of the scene when he fell off the stable, Roken Lawrence finally made up his mind.

  If you succeed in applying for a male servant, you can save all the money and save a certain amount of money to be an apprentice! "

  Gary Lawrence was slightly stunned. "Apprentice? I am paid 10 interests per month. Do I still need to be an apprentice? "

  After a long pause, Roken Lawrence said, "It is not an ordinary apprentice."

  After saying that, he didn't say anything more.

  Gary Lawrence was confused.

  On the second morning, Gary Lawrence got dressed early and walked towards tulip manor.

  Roken Lawrence regained his composure. He didn't need to worry too much.

  Today, he took 2 copper coins with him, and the rest 3 copper coins were left to Roken Lawrence.

  There were already many people waiting outside the tulip manor.

  They were all here to apply for the male servant.

  Gary Lawrence stood in the crowd, lost in thought, without knowing the qualifications for employment.

  He was not good at cooking, nor was he good at etiquette.

  At this time, a butler in a tuxedo came out of the iron gate of the manor.

  "Be quiet. I'll announce the requirements for recruiting first. "

  "We only need young men from 18 to 28 years old who could recognize words, had a special feature and a good temper!"

  Someone in the crowd raised his hand and asked, "Respected butler, what's the special skill?"

  The butler looked at him casually and said, "Drawing, singing, playing chess and so on, as long as there is one thing."

  The crowd burst into an uproar.

  The man raised his hand again. "Do sweep and mop the floor and cook meet the requirements?"

  The butler looked at him with disdain, "No!"

  This request made most of the people present lose the qualification to apply for a job.

  Half of the crowd dispersed, but Gary Lawrence stayed.

  Although he was only 16 years old, he was not a person here. His age was just a cover up which nobody knows.

  "What I said just now needs to be displayed on the spot. Don't try to fool me! Now, come with me! "

  The butler ordered his men to open the side door of the manor and led them inside.

  Gary Lawrence looked around and found that there were twenty or thirty people who participated in the interview with him.

  The butler led them to the lawn in the center of the manor.

  In the center of the lawn stood a white ivory pavilion.

  A young man about fifteen or six years old sat in the pavilion.
