The black farm tools planted nearby looked up at Yuan Hua.

"Wow, so using farm tools is all the rage now?"

Yuan Hua was taken aback.

"What farm tool?"

Hei Nongju looked at Yuan Hua with a puzzled expression, then looked down at the hoe in his hand.

"No, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yuan Hua shook his head and pointed to the Alexander Estate behind him.

"I want to get this job, do you have any ideas on how?"

"Get a job? That's easy, isn't it?"

Hei Nongju looked at the clothes on Yuan Hua's body.

“Young man, you don’t look like you’re short of money, so why would you want to work for a nobleman?”

The black farm tools were puzzling...

"I came here as a refugee, haha, my family has fallen on hard times."

Although I don't have a good impression of black farm tools, it's not shameful to use them to extract information.

"That's it, I know."

The black farm implement nodded slightly.

“Here’s what you do: dress a little shabby, then greet any passing members of the manor and say you’re there for an interview. It’ll be easy to get in, since Alexander Manor is short-staffed lately.”

Are there any positions with good pay?

Yuan Hua's eyes lit up immediately; this was a good idea.

"Uh, does having a rich girl accompany you while you study count?"

There is some uncertainty regarding the situation of black farmers.

"Let's think about it, why bother changing clothes? I can just go straight to the interview."

Since he was a "civil official," he naturally had to dress more formally.

Yuan Hua straightened his clothes and then walked towards Alexander Manor.

"what?"

The black farm tool paused for a moment...

Is this guy really going?

"Oh, by the way, is that young lady pretty?"

Yuan Hua turned back again.

If it's not good, we'll just go to another store. We can't let Baron Nash suffer.

"Hmm, she's quite pretty, but her temperament is a bit strange..."

The black farm tool's doubts were expressed with a question mark.

"At Alexander Manor, many of the servants were scared away by that young lady; those who remained were all slaves who had signed indentures."

"Okay, bye-bye. When I'm rich, I'll get you a bigger cotton field to grow."

Yuan Hua waved his hand and walked confidently toward Alexander Manor.

……

"You're here for an interview to become a tutor/accompanying student?"

Brooke Alexander looked Yuan Hua up and down. He was dressed formally and was not very old. He didn't look like an ordinary commoner at all.

"Yes, Your Excellency, my name is Yuan Hua, and I am from Shenzhou. Because my family fell into poverty, I traveled all the way to this country, hoping to find something to do to supplement my income."

Yuan Hua gently tossed his long, yellow hair, revealing his gentle and refined youthful face to Viscount Alexander.

"Um……"

Brooke nodded slightly.

"If it's to supplement your personal income, you could easily earn your living expenses in other ways. Why would you choose to be a tutor?"

“Your Excellency, although I am a traveler, I am still young and not very knowledgeable. I have learned many things by relying on what I have seen and heard along the way.”

Yuan Hua directly released his [identity card], which completely dispelled Brooke's doubts.

"I have been learning as I go, and there is no end to learning."

Yuan Hua looked slightly downcast.

“I can understand what you are saying and I can understand the meaning of every sentence. Just like learning my mother tongue, over time, it is engraved in my bones. The ridiculous thing is that because I have not experienced formal learning, my handwriting is terrible.”

"To put it bluntly, I am just a scholar who is eager to learn, but the high tuition fees are beyond my means."

"That's it..."

Brooke's expression gradually softened. The young man in front of him was probably about the same age as his daughter. When an elder sees a well-behaved junior, their eyes will inevitably be filled with a bit of sympathy.

"You're hired. Your monthly salary is twenty silver coins. The manor will cover your food and lodging, and I'll take care of your tuition. However, I have a task for you."

"Damn it, another mission. I'm terrified of even hearing those two words now."

Yuan Hua's face quickly lit up with a smile, and he nodded heavily, showing extraordinary joy, just like a child who had received a new toy.

(P.S.: Does Brooke's daughter count as a new toy?)

"it is good!"

"Let's go, talk as we go."

Brooke led Yuan Hua into the manor.

"Your task is to keep an eye on my rebellious daughter, Catherine Alexander, record her whereabouts, and if she causes trouble outside, you stop her immediately and report back to me afterwards."

"I understand."

Yuan Hua nodded heavily. It wasn't difficult. What was gratifying was that the king's undercover plan had finally made some progress.

……

Dong Dong————

Brooke gently knocked on the door in front of him, and soon a clattering sound came from inside the room...

"Who!"

A not-so-friendly voice came from inside the room.

Soon, the door opened, and a girl with long, wine-red hair poked her head out of the room with a stern face...

"Father?"

The girl frowned slightly.

"Is there a problem?"

"We've found you a new tutor; get along well with him from now on."

Brooke stepped aside, exposing Yuan Hua to the girl's view.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Hua."

Yuan Hua tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and smiled like a gentle breeze.

Just then, a gust of wind emanating from Umaru stirred his long hair...

"Hiss—who are you, handsome guy???"

"..."

……

Chapter 155 Enrollment

"Father, have you thought it through?"

Catherine turned to look at Brooke.

"You've given me permission to date?"

"you!"

After hearing this, Brooke was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode!

He's your study companion, not your husband!

"Tch, what a downer..."

Catherine pursed her lips and then closed the door.

"Open the door! Or you won't get your allowance for this month!"

Brooke nearly burst out laughing. Why were the kids outside always more well-behaved than her own?

"Ugh, this is so annoying, I don't need a tutor."

Catherine opened the door with an impatient look on her face.

"A garrulous old man."

"Stop talking nonsense. From now on, he will go to school with you and help you with your homework."

Brooke frowned.

"If you still want pocket money, I suggest you behave."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen."

Catherine frowned slightly.

"Father, is there anything else?"

"You take care of yourself."
