Chapter 738

Qin Lun thought about it, then squatted down on the ground and grabbed a handful of dust to wipe it off his face. He didn't stop until he got dirty.

Qin Lun carefully avoided the view of the servants of the manor and quietly felt for the stable. He had already thought about the identity he would pretend to be next.

"Tony, what's the matter with the master's horse?" The manor steward stopped his work, opened the window and looked at the side of the stable. He turned to one of his servants and said.

"Oh, yes." The young manservant walked reluctantly out of the gate of the manor and towards the horse shed with a loud hissing voice.

There are black slaves who take care of the big animals like cattle and horses in Wilson's manor, but the work of the plantation is very busy at the moment, and all the people are working in the field.

Tony's servant, who didn't know what to mumble in his mouth, walked slowly towards the stable.

In this era, Europe had no slavery for a long time. Only the colonial plantations in North America used slaves from the black triangle trade in large quantities. However, in this era, there are still many large families and nobles attached to their tenants and servants.

The servants of aristocratic manor also have 369 grades. Tony, as a valet who can serve at the master's banquet, has a much higher position in manor than the horseman. Naturally, he does not want to serve horses when preparing for dinner.

Just when he came to the door of the stable, he looked inside and immediately forgot his complaints. He was frightened by the furious horses in the stable who were kicking and jumping.

"Oh, my God!" Tony was stunned for a while, then he ran to the gate of the horse pen, trying to appease these crazy animals.

"Yu Yu..." However, the young manservant was not the groom who was familiar with the horses. A brown Dutch horse raised his head and hit him on all sides.

"Can I help you?" Just when Tony was in a mess, a young man came in by the door of the stable.

"Of course, damn it!" Tony got up from the ground in chagrin and swore to the big beast in front of him, "help me hold it!"

"Ha ha, that's not good. This Groningen horse is very spiritual. If you want to reduce its guard, you need to be more gentle." The young man coming in at the door smiled and put down the burden on his shoulder and went to the front of the horse pen.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tony, who had been trying to hold on to the horse's head, suddenly turned pale with fright. He saw the young man coming in bending down and getting into the horse pen.

"Don't worry, I just want to see why it is so grumpy Oh, I see. It's stabbed in the wood! "

"All right, all right, little girl, don't be afraid, it won't hurt soon..."

"I ~ ~" suddenly the Dutch mare was full of excitement and a big snort, which really calmed down.

"You see, that's what makes it so grumpy because it's stuck in the butt!" The young man came out from behind the horse's buttocks and showed Tony a two inch long wooden thorn. "It should be the burr on the wooden liner inside the horse's fence."

"It's all the fault of those slackers in the stable. I'll let housekeeper Parker teach them a lesson later!" Tony mumbled angrily.

"Well, all the other horses should be affected by it. When they calm down, they will be OK." The young man handed Tony the wooden thorn and said with a smile, "but when the others come back, it's better to let them boil some hot water and scrub the little girl to prevent the wound from infection. This kind of Dutch warm blooded horse is the treasure of the old man! "

"Thank you so much. You're not from the manor. I never seem to see you!" Tony finally had time to look at the young man in front of him and asked with caution.

The colonies in North America have never been a place of good security. The colonists from Europe often face countless difficulties and dangers.

Hateful Indians, thieves, bandits, pirates, vagabonds, slaves Tony has seen many sinister figures near the manor. Even if the young man in front of him looks like a simple and honest man, and has just helped himself, he will not relax his guard.

"I come from Wilmington in the north. There are too many brothers and sisters in my family. My father said that I have grown up and asked me to come out and find a job, which can lighten the burden on my family!" The young man smiled a little embarrassed.

Tony's heart moved a little. As a servant working for the planter, he knew what happened to the young man in front of him. Most of the families who come to North America to make a living are not rich. As poor people, more than half of the children who are expelled by their families at the age of 18 or even 16 are.

If I'm not lucky, I guess I'm similar to him! Thinking about it, Tony took a closer look at the young man. He was wearing a shabby coat, his rolled up trousers were full of mud, his face and hair were gray, it seemed that he really had a long way to go.

Looking at the little burden that the young man threw on the ground and the simple smile on his face, Tony's vigilance suddenly faded.

"Come with me!" Tony turned his head and motioned to the young man, "there's still some mashed potatoes left in the kitchen at noon. You've just helped me a lot. I don't think housekeeper Parker would mind this.""Then Thank you so much! " The young man licked his dry lips and swallowed.

"Don't you have lunch today?" Tony asked with a sly glance.

"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten anything since last night." The young man blushed and bowed his head in embarrassment.

"Oh!" Unexpectedly, Tony didn't laugh at him. Instead, he quickened his pace and took the young man to the main building of the manor.

Good luck, only once, I met a compassionate boy! Qin Lun looks at Tony's back and raises his mouth slightly.

This world has just had a transformation of some magic laws. It belongs to the low magic world, which greatly suppresses the high magic power of the apostles.

But even so, the fairy tales of Qin Lun's Fairy lineage can still have some effect. There is no problem to appease the Dutch horse that has been made into a pawn. The key lies in the timing of the move and how to get the trust from the servants who come to visit the manor.

He had been observing for a long time near the stable to make sure that the horses had gone to work. At this time, the manor is preparing for dinner. The older and experienced servants like housekeeper and maidservant will not have time to check in the stable, but will send a young manservant at most.

This also means that the difficulty of communication between Qin Lun and him is greatly reduced. As long as he can get trust from the servant of the first manor, it will be easier for him to influence other people and establish a preliminary sense of identity with his help.

This is the same as the brainwashing process of later pyramid schemes, and it is an application of psychology.

Of course, Qin Lun's plan is a little rough compared with the previous strategies. However, one is that he doesn't have much time to waste, the other is that the plan is simple. As long as he tries several times, there will always be a suitable breakthrough.

"By the way, have you ever had a horse before?" When he came to the gate of the manor, Tony suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Well, my father had a ranch in Walsall, and when the ranch went bankrupt, my family immigrated here. I worked at Brown ranch west of Wilmington, and then Mr. Brown replaced me with two big black ones. He thought my salary was too high. " "In fact, I only have one pound and fifteen shillings a month," said Qin Lun with a sad face

"Less than two pounds?" Tony was taken aback, and the salary was almost equal to that of the lowest servants at Wilson estate.

For a groom, it's a low-income package. Of course, for Negroes who don't want money, the salary is high again.

"The horses in brown ranch are much worse than those in your stables. Although they are not food horses, they are not horse racing. They are only sold to people to pull cars." Qin Lun shrugged and said helplessly, "this kind of horse is better to serve. Mr. Brown can't use a groom like me!"

Qin Lun's dissatisfaction with his talent did not resonate with Tony, but it further dispelled his suspicions.

Looking after horse racing and stallions is exactly the same as looking after horses for pulling cars. One kind of night food only needs to be specially served by one person. The other is more resistant to exercise, and the feed doesn't need to be specially matched.

The former kind of horse needs a professional groom and a herdsman who is very familiar with the horse. The latter kind of horse can be used even by black slaves if someone teaches it for a month. Tony could understand why the brown rancher didn't want the young groom in front of him.

"Walsall? So you're an Englishman? " Tony's eyes turned, and he suddenly slowed down. He came to Qin Lun and said softly, "actually, our master is not satisfied with those niggers in the stable all the time. You can be smart later. Maybe you can find a job here..."

"I didn't think this guy was a racist!" Qin Lun looked at Tony in front of him, pretending to be nothing, and sneered. He pretended to be a groom just to have a chance to enter the manor without thinking about how long he would stay.

In Qin Lun's view, if Sir Wilson has a problem, he can basically find out the clue tonight. If it's all right, he'll have to leave tomorrow morning. After all, there are only four days left.

"Tony, how can you come? The kitchen is so busy. Come and help!" Tony and Qinlun enter from the side door of the manor, and a fat looking cook emerges from the kitchen and shouts at them.

"Here, here!" Tony replied, lowering his voice and saying quickly, "Melinda is back. She is the cook of the manor. It seems that she can't bring you anything to eat now. You can help me first. If Miranda doesn't object to letting you work, Butler Parker will at least keep you for dinner later. "

"No problem, I have strength." Qin Lun rolled up his sleeves happily.
