Rejected the Demon’s Marriage Proposal Thousands of Times
Chapter 6: lover
When the girls left one by one, Shane left first. Mrs. Mary looked at Anna calmly and asked, "What's your name?"
Anna lowered her eyes and said softly, "My name is Anna, Mrs. Mary."
Madam Mary was satisfied when she saw Anna's decent appearance, although she didn't show it on her face.
Although Master Parrish's order cannot be disobeyed, she would be more comfortable to manage if the one who came was a well-behaved and obedient.
"I am the deputy housekeeper of Earls Court, and the kitchen is under my jurisdiction. You are a newcomer, and you should learn from the veterans at the beginning. The rules of the Earls Court kitchen are completely different from yours at home. You need to study hard and don't neglect."
"Yes, I remember it all." Anna answered honestly.
Mrs. Mary was relieved that she did not have any special attitude towards her, she just came to work, and she didn’t want others to treat her differently because of Master Parrish—just on the surface they usually treat her. Enough.
Mrs. Mary arranged for Anna a "master", a maid named Rebecca. In Earls Court, all ordinary female employees are called maids, and different types of jobs have different wages. A maid like Anna who works in the kitchen can get ten silver coins every month, which is almost twice the income of her father as a bartender in a tavern.
Considering that the current income of her family can cover the usual expenses, and all the wages she gets can be saved, Anna is very happy. When she had enough money, the first thing she wanted to do was to move out of the slum that was too close to the slum in Lime Lane.
Most of the maids who work in the kitchen do not live in the earl's house, and come early and leave late every day. Because of the existence of the Goddess of Light Sect, the world also has a creation myth. It is a round of seven days, and Sunday is Sunday. However, the maid of Earls Court does not have a holiday to go to church on Sunday, and can only simply pray a prayer, so working hours It's almost "777".
On the first day, Anna just followed Rebecca to learn how to go to the kitchen after she came in through the back door of Earls Court, and was taken by Rebecca to exchange names with the four guards who would take turns guarding the back door, so that she would be able to get in and out in the future.
It was the next day when she officially started to work. Anna went home first after getting familiar with it. She wanted to tell her family the good news as soon as possible.
When Anna returned to Pomegranate Lane, a strong young man suddenly ran up to her and shouted: "Anna, go home, someone is making trouble in your house!"
Anna's complexion changed, and there was no time to ask more. After hurriedly thanking her, she hurried back home. At this point in time, Evan and Jem just went to the tavern, and only her mother, Adele and Little Evan were in the house!
The tall young man walked tightly behind Anna and followed together.
Before Anna approached her house, she saw Lily and her mother Renee blocking her door, cursing loudly.
"Your Anna is really a shameless slut! Use her beauty to confuse Master Parrish and take away my daughter's job! How on earth did you teach such a shameless daughter? Goddess is on top, You should go to the devil world!"
Lily complained with tears from the side: "That is obviously my job! Anna shamelessly took my job away!"
The mother and daughter cursed loudly at the door of Anna's house. Guy stood at the door and turned pale with anger, but she didn't know how to curse, but she couldn't deny it: "Anna is not the kind of person you are talking about..."
Anna saw this scene, her eyes flushed with anger.
This mother and daughter are really picky and soft, and they bully her gentle mother!
Looking around, Anna found that there was a shovel from someone else's on the side of the road. She lifted it up and dropped her head. Holding the shovel by herself, she waved the wooden handle and hit the mother and daughter.
Lily and Renee were scolding, they didn't watch out for a sneak attack from the rear, they were beaten upright, exclaiming and avoiding.
Anna stood at the door of her house with a shovel, staring at Lily and Renee, and said loudly: "Lily, how can you blame me for yelling in front of Mrs. Mary and being eliminated by her? Shameless It's you! You are also believers of the goddess, how dare you lie under the watchful eyes of the goddess? The goddess won't forgive you!"
A true believer would not mention the goddess casually like Anna, but in order to muffle Lily's mouth, she must borrow the name of the goddess.
Of course, she didn't believe a word of what she said. If the goddess really stares at this land, why has the demon staring at her not been wiped out?
Lily had indeed lied to her mother about her being eliminated. She did not say that she had been eliminated tragically before she learned that Anna was arranged by Master Parrish. Instead, she blamed her for everything.
Therefore, when she heard Anna mentioning the goddess, Lily panicked for a moment, and then she immediately said: "I, I didn't lie! It is true that you seduce Master Parrish, and he will let you work in the kitchen!"
Just a little guilty in the end, Lily did not look directly into Anna's eyes.
Renee was more calm than Lily. She didn't even pay attention to what Anna said about the goddess. She just stared at Anna and shouted angrily: "Do you know how many good things I said to get Lily's aunt to recommend Lily? That should be Lily's job, it was taken away by you, you bitch!"
Gay was blocked by Anna. She looked at Anna with some worry, and then at Renee. The anger in her chest made her clenched her teeth. It's just that she just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Anna.
Anna has been in this world for several days. She is very clear about Guy's character. Guy is not good at this kind of antagonism, so she still has to come.
"Mom, trust me." Anna said looking at Guy.
Guy looked at Anna's sky blue eyes that he inherited from him, felt the different power in her eyes, nodded in a daze, and then backed away.
Anna was still carrying a shovel, and having weapons to defend herself made her courageous. She looked at Renee and said coldly: "It's obviously that your daughter is useless by herself. She was eliminated by Mrs. Mary, and is she blamed on others? If I seduce With Master Parrish, I have been his lover a long time ago, do I still need to work in the kitchen?"
The public sentiments of this world are different from the ancient Eastern times that Anna is familiar with, and they are more open in terms of sex. To be someone else's lover is indeed disgusting, but if a commoner becomes the lover of a nobleman, the other commoners will only envy, or even envy, why the person who encounters such a good thing is not his own daughter.
Therefore, Anna's reason is beyond rebuttal.
If Lily dared to say that she went to work in the earl's mansion and never thought of hooking up with the noble lords in the earl's mansion and becoming their lover, the onlookers would only laugh, and no one would believe her—usually Lily would keep clamoring that she would let her An aristocratic master bowed down under her skirt.
Because most people have similar thoughts, when Anna pointed it out sharply, they all believed Anna's words.
They never thought that Anna had a chance to fly to the sky and refused, only thinking that Anna really did not have that opportunity.
If Anna really succeeded in seduce Master Parrish, how stupid would she just want to be an ordinary kitchen maid instead of becoming Master Parrish's lover?
Even Renee, who has always been sharp-toothed, was speechless when asked by Anna, but she did not intend to give up easily, and shouted: "How do I know what you think! Who knows if you have greater ambitions? I want to be the wife of Master Parrish!"
As soon as Renee said this, everyone around them laughed. They were not laughing at Anna's "wishful thinking", but at Renee's "whisper".
Which fool would think of becoming the wife of an earl’s heir as a commoner?
It would be possible if a wealthy commoner and the lowest-ranked baron were married, a commoner like Anna and a heir to an earl? Is Anna crazy?
There was no need for Anna to say anything, the people around laughed and mocked Renee.
"Rennie, your own daughter is useless, so don't blame others. We don't know what Lily is like, don't you know?"
"Yes, hahaha and wife... Have you ever thought about that for Lily?"
"If I were the Countess, I would also choose Anna instead of Lily. Anna is much better than Lily."
"Yeah! Renee, it's really not surprising that Lily lost to Anna!"
"..."
Everyone, when you say something to me, Renee and Lily turned red. Renee scolded everyone at first, but when she got her strength, everyone would certainly not admit defeat. The advantage of the number of people and the power came out. Soon Renee was defeated and left with Lily griefly.
This is exactly what Anna wants to achieve.
Because the folk customs of this world are more open than the ancient times in the East, the lace news of men and women will not form effective public opinion pressure, and because of the unique semi-public lover culture, Anna can calmly use the "lover" as a breakthrough point to counterattack.
Although she did land in the kitchen because of Master Parrish's words, who would believe it?
Who believed she would refuse to be Master Parrish's lover because of her work in the kitchen? If she is from this world, she would not believe it either.
She deliberately said those words, inciting the onlookers, and successfully made them scold Lily and Renee away.
Renee and Lily left, and the onlookers dispersed without any reason to stay.
Anna put the shovel back to its original place, because the shovel weighed a little, her arms were a little sore now.
Then the young man who came to inform Anna hadn't left, he came over when everyone around him had left, blew a whistle and said, "Anna, you were so amazing just now!"
As he said, his hand took a bunch of small purple flowers from the belt behind his back and handed them to Anna: "This one is for you, it matches you very well!"
Anna was stunned, but saw that the young man squeezed the flower into her hand and ran away grinningly. After running away, she turned back and waved at her.
Only then did Anna remember that the young man's name was Mark, the son of a blacksmith... The shovel she was holding just now seemed to belong to his family.
She clenched the bouquet in her hand. Although she could tell that it was picked in the wild at a glance, the petals were quite squeezed... But after all, this was the first flower she had received in this world, and she was a little happy.
Anna walked back with the flower, Guy was still standing at the door, his eyes flicking over the flower in Anna's hand, without saying much.
Anna looked at Guy, coughed lightly, and smiled sweetly: "Mom, I have good news for you, I have been hired by the earl's mansion!"
Guy was taken aback and couldn't help laughing.
"Mother, you didn't hear what happened just now. You only heard the good news from my mouth." Anna smiled, "There are ten silver coins a month! From now on we will eat potato stew and lamb every day. White bread!"
"I want to eat, too!"
Adele, who had been scared to hide in the house before, brought little Evan out, his eyes gleaming. Little Evan even drooled down.
He was only three years old, but he already knew that meat was a good thing.
"Well, when I get my salary, everyone will have something to eat!" Anna said proudly.
Adele and Little Evan both cheered.
Guy didn't say anything disappointing, but just smiled softly. Today's Anna is different from before, but today is a good day, even she wants to cheer.
Until this moment, Anna really felt that she was really possible to change her situation.
Although there were demons in the earl's mansion that made her jealous, things were going for the better after all, and she believed it would get better and better in the future.
