The system asked me to chase his wife

When Manager Wu saw that there was nothing for him to do, he left.

Xia Mang followed Ji Tong consciously. The two of them walked along the corridor through a row of side rooms, passed the main hall, and saw a round-faced girl guarding the door.

Ji Tong walked by the girl and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her head. He chuckled and said, "You are such a coquettish girl. You haven't even thrown away the white mourning clothes in front of you, but you've already put on the flowers."

The round-faced girl was wearing a pink dress and a pearl flower of the same color on her head. She looked rich and happy, and was very lovable.

After hearing Ji Tong's words, the round-faced girl rolled her eyes at her and retorted, "It's been two months since the mourning period, and it's still inappropriate to wear flowers? Go quickly and don't disturb the lady's nap!"

Ji Tong didn't waste any time with her. He led Xia Mang through the corner door on the right, and there was another small courtyard.

This courtyard is much simpler, with only four rooms in a row. The floor tiles in the courtyard are not as luxurious as those outside, but it is clean and tidy.

Ji Tong led Xia Mang into the room against the wall. In the room was a large kang made of two rows of blue bricks, with beddings placed at the head of the kang.

"This bunk is yours."

Ji Tong pointed to an empty seat and said, "Luckily someone left, otherwise you wouldn't have a bed to sleep in."

Xia Mang took a quick look and saw that this position was in the middle of the kang on the right. There were worn-out bedding and an empty box at the head of the kang. They must have been left behind by the previous owner of this position.

Subconsciously, she was reluctant to use things that had been used by others.

But seeing Ji Tong's indifferent look, he guessed that he wouldn't be able to get any benefits, so he became curious about other things.

"Sister Ji Tong, why did the person in front of me leave?"

The age of Xia Mang's body should be younger than Ji Tong. She had to look up at Ji Tong when she spoke.

Ji Tong saw that the little girl in front of her had a thin and sallow face, but a pair of eyes that were frighteningly bright. She was staring at her without blinking, making it impossible for her to avoid her sight.

"Why else? I broke the rules and said the wrong thing, so I was kicked out by my master!"

At this point, Ji Tong said to Xia Mang with a hint of warning: "You should also remember not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask, be careful not to make mistakes!"

Xia Mang didn't expect Ji Tong to tell her the details, so she nodded and agreed.

Ji Tong was very satisfied with Xia Mang's understanding. He glanced at her and asked, "What's your name?"

Xia Mang opened her mouth and repeated the words twice before saying, "My name is Mang Xia."

Ji Tong thought about the two words and nodded: "It's quite elegant and not taboo, so there's no need to change the name."

After deciding on the name, Ji Tong assigned Xia Mang another job - to go to the kitchen and bring meals to the yard.

This includes the lady’s three meals a day, as well as soup and snacks after meals.

In addition, Xia Mang was also responsible for getting meals for the six maids who served in the lady's room.

As for serving the lady at meals, that was not Xia Mang's turn.

Xia Mang thought about it and realized that it was just a job of delivering meals. There were only a few people there, so it wasn't that much trouble.

After Ji Tong finished making the arrangements and saw Xia Mangguang nod without saying anything, he said a few more words.

"This job was originally done by your roommate, Dui. If it weren't for the madam, you wouldn't have gotten to do it."

Xia Mang:.
So this is still a popular job?
Xia Mang then put on a smile and said in a very social animal manner: "Thank you, Sister Ji Tong, for loving me!"

Ji Tong waved his hand and said indifferently: "Okay, you should do your job well in the future. If you don't know, just ask us. But remember, you are not allowed to go to the lady's room recklessly. That's not fun!"

Does this mean that with her current qualifications, she can forget about getting close to the old lady?
Xia Mang thought that he should be cautious in everything since he had just arrived, so he nodded in agreement.

Ji Tong reminded her several times again, telling her not to break the rules, and then he turned and left.

Xia Mang put her things away and looked around the fairly spacious servants' room. She silently counted the bunks and found there were twelve of them, all of which were where the maids, who did the rough work, slept.

As for the three rooms at the side, they were naturally the rooms for the first-class maids. Xia Mang had just heard from Ji Tong that there were a total of six maids serving the Madam. If one was given to the Madam to serve, there would be five maids left.

Five first-class maids share three rooms. How spacious would that be?

This is the grade gap!
It was the time when the masters were taking a nap, and the maids had a rare moment of free time, so they naturally went out to play happily, so there was no one else in the servants' room.

Xia Mang took off his shoes and sat on the kang, calling up the system interface to check the time, wondering how long it would take him to go to the kitchen to get some snacks.

She tried to summon the system, but her mind was silent. If she hadn't been able to clearly perceive the system interface, Xia Mang would have suspected that this broken system had crashed.

"Humph! I don't believe that you won't issue any missions. If you can avoid the first day, can you avoid the fifteenth?"

system:.
After taking a nap, the lady got up and asked for tea. Xia Mang's room was very close to the main house, so she could naturally hear the noise in the main house.

But it was not her job to serve tea, so she did not move, but just pricked up her ears to listen for snacks.

After waiting for a long time, Xia Mang didn't hear anyone asking for food in the main room. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the kitchen.

A qualified worker should never wait for the boss's instructions, but should act ahead of the boss's ideas.

Besides, she really didn't know where the kitchen was.

After making up her mind to walk out of the corner door, Xia Mang ran into a little maid who was wearing the same dress as her. As soon as Xia Mang saw her dress, she knew that she was also a maid who did menial work.

The maid saw a stranger coming out of the servants' yard and asked her curiously, "Who are you? Why did you come out from here?"

Xia Mang then introduced herself with a smile and got to know the little maid. Only then did she know that the little maid's name was Man'er and she was in charge of sweeping the yard.

Xia Mang asked Man'er how to get to the kitchen. Man'er was very curious because Xia Mang was new, so she enthusiastically took her to the kitchen.

The kitchen was located in a separate courtyard, where several cooks and maids were busy preparing dinner.

Maids from all over the place were coming in and out, either delivering messages for their masters to specify a certain dish for dinner in the evening, or coming to get some snacks.

Xia Mang and Man'er entered the kitchen. Man'er first saw a maid standing inside and greeted her with a smile: "Dui'er!"

Dui'er was wearing a light green shirt and a pink silk skirt. When she saw Man'er, she asked her in surprise, "What are you doing here? Does the master have something to tell you?" Man'er scratched her head and thought for a long time, then pointed to Xia Mang beside her and said, "I brought her here."

Dui'er then looked at Xia Mang with a puzzled look. Xia Mang fully demonstrated her social talent and smiled at Dui'er in a friendly manner.

"Hello, hello. I was arranged by Sister Ji Tong to replace you. From now on, I will do your job."

Dui'er was stunned when he heard this. Man'er asked in confusion, "Ah? What will Dui'er do in the future?"

Xia Mang thought about Ji Tong's arrangement and said, "Sister Ji Tong said that from now on, you will be responsible for serving other people's meals."

"How is this possible!?" Duier couldn't help but scream when he heard this, causing everyone else in the kitchen to look over.

Seeing Dui'er's expression of "you are lying", Xia Mang spread his hands and said, "This is what Sister Ji Tong ordered. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her."

Ever since Ji Tong brought Xia Mang into the yard, he has not asked anyone else about the arrangements from beginning to end.

Xia Mang guessed that Ji Tong should be considered a "small leader" among the maids in the lady's courtyard.

When Dui'er heard Xia Mang move out Ji Tong, he calmed down a little.

Just then the cook brought in a box of snacks and said with a smile, "Madam's pastries are ready."

Dui'er reached out to take it out of habit, but Xia Mang cleverly got there first.

Dui'er stamped his feet in anger, pointed at Xia Mang and said angrily: "I'll go ask Sister Ji Tong. If you lied, you'll be in trouble!"

After saying that, Duier left angrily. Xia Mang didn't pay much attention to her. After all, this was a foregone conclusion.

Man'er looked at Dui'er's back as she left in anger and stuck out her tongue: "She has a very bad temper."

Xia Mang was carrying a heavy food box, thinking that the wooden box in his hand alone must weigh several kilograms.

Hearing Man'er say this, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so angry? It's all work anyway, so it doesn't matter who does it."

Man'er smiled with a sly look on her face. She winked at Xia Mang and said, "You don't know this, right? This is a lucrative position for you!"

Xia Mang was completely puzzled: "Is there a lucrative job for this thing?"

Isn't it just delivering a meal, and there's some profit to be made?

Is it possible to eat secretly?
Before Xia Mang really thought about taking the food box, Man'er had already explained her doubts.

"Don't you know? Except for the Madam, every time the sisters in the house want to have a special meal, they have to give money. If they give money to the kitchen, won't they give money to the errand boy? Don't you think this is a lucrative position?"

Man'er said this with envy in her eyes: "You see, the skirt that Dui'er was wearing just now was obtained from Sister Xingzhu!"

Xia Mang suddenly realized: "Oh~~"

In this way, this matter was a deterioration rather than an improvement for Duier. To be more precise, her arrival violated Duier's vested interests.

No wonder, she felt that the look in Duier's eyes just now seemed to be slightly hostile.

Well, I’ve offended my colleagues as soon as I arrived.

Xia Mang brought the lunch box back and walked it all the way to the outside of the main house. She remembered Ji Tong's instructions and did not dare to step into the threshold.

There was a maidservant whom Xia Mang had never seen before standing guard at the door. When she saw Xia Mang carrying the food box, she came out to take it.

The maid saw that Xia Mang looked unfamiliar, so she asked a question. Xia Mang patiently repeated how Ji Tong had arranged for her to deliver meals.

When the maid heard what Xia Mang said, her eyes rolled and she said, "I see. I am Lian Bi here. You should work harder in the future and don't be sneaky or cunning."

Xia Mang had been listening to a lot of instructions for a long time, and now he nodded and agreed very smoothly.

Lian Bi took the food box into the main room, took out the four plates of snacks in the box and arranged them neatly, then handed the empty box to Xia Mang. Xia Mang took it back to the kitchen and she had nothing to do.

After being busy for a while, Xia Mang's body felt tired. After all, she had not eaten or drunk anything since she entered the mansion early in the morning!
But according to the rules, it was not yet time for the servants to eat, so Xia Mang could only drink a glass of water to fill his stomach.

She went back to the backyard, found the water tank, filled herself with cold water, and prepared to take a rest.

As soon as he lay down, there was a "ding" sound in his mind, and Xia Mang immediately became alert.

"Good boy, it's delivered to my door!"

'Ding! '

'A new mission has been issued. Please stay in the main courtyard at 5 p.m. for half an hour.'

Xia Mang ignored him.

'Ding! A new mission has been issued. Please complete it as soon as possible, otherwise you will be wiped out!'

Xia Mang sneered: "What else can you do besides this trick?"

Does she want to come to this shabby place?

system:'.'

Xia Mang yawned and looked like she was going to fall asleep on the spot. The system obviously had no better way to deal with her passive resistance.

After the system reiterated the content of the task, it found that Xia Mang was still unmoved. The system was silent for a while and finally compromised.

There was a hint of helplessness in the mechanical voice: "What are the conditions of the host?"

Seeing that some people had talked, Xia Mang sat up from the bed, her eyes sparkling.

'Tell me the truth, are you the guy who repairs shoes under the overpass?'
