The time was pulled back to two hours ago. As usual, Reagan got up as early as the maids and was responsible for supervising the work of the maids.
After turning around again, he found that the maids were working diligently, and Reagan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he was not negligent as the steward of the Griffin family.
However, Regan soon discovered that at the door of the Viscount's Mansion, there was a small head that appeared and disappears from time to time.
Regan walked over suspiciously, only to see that this was the little girl brought home by the young master yesterday, Meili.
Reagan wondered: Didn't he send her home yesterday? Why are you here again today?
"Why are you here?" Regan asked with a frown. Although this little girl was the young master's guest, he still felt that these commoners were not worthy of contact with the young master.
Mei Li shrank her head in fear, the white-bearded grandfather didn't look as friendly as the big brother at all.
"Are you here to find the young master?"
Mei Li shook her head like a rattle, "No, Mei Li came to play with Yuna."
As the housekeeper of the Viscount's House, Regan knew the names of the fifteen maids and kept them in his heart, so he naturally knew that Yuna was the black-haired cook, and she liked the food she made.
"Yona? She's still working and can't play with you." Reagan wanted Meili to get rid of this idea as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't be hanging around the door all the time.
"Oh." Mei Li nodded her head and asked again, "When will she finish work?"
Regan rubbed his temples with a headache and explained, "Even if she finishes work, she won't play with you."
"Why? Yesterday, Yuna played with Meili for a long time after work." Meili asked curiously with wide eyes.
This child is so annoying, Reagan rubbed his head in pain.
"She's very busy with work and doesn't have time to play with you." Reagan wanted Meili to get rid of this idea as soon as possible.
"Oh." Mei Li lowered her head dejectedly.
Reagan thought that the other party was about to give up. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Meili asked again, "Can Meili wait here?"
"Whatever you want." Reagan waved his hand and left.
Regan returned to the Viscount Mansion and began to check the work in the Viscount Mansion to ensure that the young master could have a comfortable breakfast when he woke up.
However, when he was working, he often thought of the little girl who was still waiting at the door, and his heart was messed up in a short while.
She wouldn't be waiting there, would she? It shouldn't be, if you were an ordinary person, you would have left long ago.
Doubtful in his heart, Regan quietly walked to the door of the living room again, hiding his figure and carefully peeping into the past.
In front of the gate of the Viscount Mansion.
Mei Li lowered her head and looked at the small stones on the bottom of her feet. She kicked her back and forth gently with her feet. After a while, she squatted down and drew some strange patterns on the ground with her fingers. From time to time, she raised her head to look at the palace of the Viscount Mansion. Inside, I want to see if there is any other change inside.
Reagan watched for ten minutes, but Mellie still showed no sign of wanting to leave.
Sighing, Reagan walked over anyway.
He asked, "Why are you still staying here?" Compared to before, this time his tone softened a lot.
Mei Li shrank her neck and took a step back. She was a little afraid of the white-bearded old man, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say, Mei Li can stay here."
"…"
Reagan touched his face. He didn't seem so scary, did he?
"I mean, why don't you stay at home?"
"There is no one at home to play with Meili. My brother went to the military camp for training, and my parents didn't let Meili go to the field to help. That's why Meili wanted to come and play with Yuna."
"What about the other children in your village?"
"They are all older than Meili, and they don't want to play with Meili. My brother used to play with me. Now Yuna is the only one who is willing to play with Meili."
Hearing Meili's words, Reagan felt a little distressed about this little girl, and he was hesitating whether to let her in, but without the permission of the young master, he should not allow anyone to enter the Viscount Mansion casually.
But then again, she was a guest that the young master invited home yesterday, so it is reasonable to invite her in.
When Reagan was struggling, Meili suddenly asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing in the Viscount Mansion?"
Hearing this, Regan involuntarily raised his chest, "I'm the housekeeper of the Viscount Mansion!"
"Housekeeper?" Meili tilted her head, "What's that for?"
Regan gritted his teeth, thinking about how to explain, and finally said, "It's amazing anyway. I recruited Yuna."
"Really! Turtle!" Mei Li's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's really amazing."
Hearing other people compliment him so directly, Reagan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. No one can make him show off like this on weekdays, and children's compliments are heartfelt and not adulterated, which makes him even more excited. Happy.
"That's not right." Reagan was so proud that he almost didn't hold his head up. Being the steward of the Griffin family was the proudest thing in his life.
Mei Li jumped in front of Reagan to attract his attention, she stretched out her two small hands and pointed at her with her index fingers, "Grandpa butler! Look at Mei Li, can Mei Li be a maid in the Viscount's House?"
When she said this, Mei Li's eyes were full of hope, and her big eyes stared straight at Reagan.
"Ah this..." Reagan was stuck for a while.
At the beginning, he did have a prejudice against the "mud-legged" Meili, but in the process of chatting again, that little prejudice gradually disappeared. Although Claire's usual behavior had an impact on him, Mely's performance really didn't make Reagan feel any resentment. After all, who would hate a cute and cute little girl.
Mei Li pursed her lips and said: "Merry said before that she wanted to apply for a maid, but my brother said that I was too young to be a maid. Since you are in charge of recruiting maids, see if Mei Li can become a viscount mansion. maid?"
Regan stroked his white beard and thought for a while. Anyway, it was just one sentence that could make this little girl happy, so why not do it.
So he said, "Of course, I think you will become an excellent maid in the future when you grow up."
"Okay!" Mei Li jumped up happily.
Reagan looked at him and smiled involuntarily. The kid didn't seem to be that annoying.
"No, here's a candy!" Meili excitedly took out a Skittles from her arms and stuffed it into Regan's hand, with a bit of reluctance on her face, "This was originally taken by Meili for mom to eat yesterday, But Mom said she didn't like it and let Merry eat it herself."
"Then why did you give it to me?" Reagan looked at the Skittles in his hand in a daze.
"I wanted to eat it originally, but I thought that Yuna had never tasted it, so I wanted to bring it to her to try, but Mei Li couldn't get in, and Yuna couldn't get out. Just now, the housekeeper's grandfather told me again. Can become a maid, so Mei Li will reward you with this candy!"
"Reward?" Reagan repeated, he hadn't heard anyone say these two words to him for a long time.
"Yes, every time I'm very good, my mother will buy brown sugar as a reward for Meili. Now Meili is also a candy person, so I'll reward you, Grandpa the housekeeper."
Seeing such an innocent little girl, Reagan couldn't help clenching the hand that held the Skittles, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Mei Li looked up at the sky, the sun hadn't come out yet, but the sky was already bright, and then she patted her dirty clothes.
"What are you doing?" Reagan asked.
"Meili is going back." Meili replied as she sorted out her clothes.
"Aren't you waiting?" Reagan was inexplicably anxious.
Merry looked up at Regan suspiciously, as if she was looking at an idiot.
"Didn't you say that Yuna won't come out and play with Meili for how long Meili has been waiting here? I've given you all the candy, so Meili will of course go back, or my mother will poke me in the head when she can't find me. ."
"This…"
After Mei Li finished arranging her clothes, she turned her head and walked away.
"Wait a minute!" Reagan suddenly reached out and called out to Meili.
"Huh?" Meili turned around suspiciously, "I only have that candy."
"No, that... do you want to go in?" Regan pointed to the Viscount's mansion.
Mei Li's eyes were shining at the moment, "Can I go in?!"
"Well, even... come and experience being a maid in advance."
"Little maid!"
"The same can be said, but there is no salary, but three meals can be provided."
"Okay! Thank you, Grandpa Steward!"
"My name is Regan..."
"Thank you, Grandpa Regan!"
Regan raised his face again, as if facing the maids, and walked into the Viscount Mansion first, "Don't be stunned, come in."
"Yeah, yeah!" Mei Li followed behind, waving her hands excitedly.
And Reagan, who was walking in front, showed a happy smile from an angle that Meili couldn't see. If he had a granddaughter, it would probably be this big.
