Maria was very satisfied with the room. After thanking the housekeeper, she sent them all away on the pretext of resting. Sitting on the bed that the maids had just made, Maria stretched her back and finally relaxed. “Come on, system, tell me about this body and what you can provide me. ” Next is the system's report time. "I transformed this body based on the aesthetics of this time of nobles and your original characteristics. The body features are long curly red-brown hair, emerald green eyes, delicate eyebrows, a height of about 170 cm, slender limbs, beautiful body curves, and a body age of about 18 years old." "Due to the limitations of the times, the skills I provide you include hunting, gathering, medicine, cooking and sewing. " Maria didn't expect that the system could add so many skill points to her. With these skills, she could support herself with her skills even if she didn't have anything. "Can you offer me some high-yield seeds, plants that can stop bleeding, and the like? In this era, there seem to be many people who don't have enough food, and there is no complete medical system. Once injured, they can only wait to die." So the system gave Maria some food, medicine, gold and silver, seeds, fashion and equipment. The most important thing is seeds. There are many high-yield crops in the 21st century, and the standard of high yield is basically in units of 1,000 kilograms. Compared with the current farmers who work hard in the fields for a year, the yield per acre is less than 200 kilograms during the harvest, which is simply a difference between heaven and earth. The seeds provided by the system are not like the seeds sold by seed companies in later generations. They are basically hybrid varieties, which will degenerate after one generation of planting. Their variety stability is very high. If there is technology in this area, even more high-yield varieties can be studied based on these seeds. The system also prepared 100 kilograms of gold for Maria! ! ! This is hard currency, no matter in that era. But this also brought Maria a lot of trouble. It is good to have money, but where should she hide so much gold? The system only gave her half a month to take all the gifts. "I will give you a space, and you can put these things into your portable space now." "When you have your own house, I will bury it under your house for you, and hide other things by the way." Maria thinks this is a good idea, but it may take some time to do it, after all, her current identity problem has not been dealt with yet. I wonder if the earl who looks kind can help her. After counting the things given by the system in her mind, Maria took off her long skirt and headdress and huddled in the quilt. First, she encountered death and traveled through time, then stayed in the forest for most of the day, and then rode a horse all the way. Although this body had good physical strength, she was really exhausted physically and mentally. If possible, she would rather take a bath before going to bed, but there was no water heater at this time, and the toilet equipped in the room was even more rudimentary. It was pitch black inside, not to mention the small space, and there was no need to think about the toilet. It was just a hole in the ground, and a passage was built underneath to the moat below, and then a wooden board was used as a cover. When not needed, the hole in the ground was covered to prevent the smell from overflowing. In addition, the toilet was also equipped with a toilet chair with a hollowed-out middle, similar to the kind commonly used by patients and the elderly in later generations. Apart from that, there was nothing inside, and naturally there was no need to mention taking a bath. Of course, compared with the public toilets used by servants, where people sat in rows and had no privacy, the treatment of the nobles was still good. Maria could ask the maids guarding the door to prepare hot water, but thinking about the trouble, she decided to take a rest before thinking about this problem. Maria fell asleep quickly, and she didn't know how long she slept. She was awakened by a knock on the door. Sitting up in a daze, Maria took a while to realize where she was. She shouted to the door: "Who is it?" "Dear guest, can we come in?" It was the maid's voice. Maria quickly said "wait", got up and put on her skirt again. After getting dressed, Maria didn't need to comb her hair in a hurry. Then she let people in. Surprisingly, there were not only two maids arranged by Simon outside the door, but also several people behind them, each holding something in their hands. Maria took a look and saw that the two leading ones were holding jugs and basins filled with hot water, and there were also people holding toiletries, clothes, and shoes behind them. "Miss, dinner time is almost here. Here are the clothes prepared by the housekeeper for you. Please change and go downstairs for dinner." They all knew that this guest didn't bring much luggage when she came. After getting the earl's permission, the attentive housekeeper took a new dress from Miss Eleanor that she hadn't worn yet. "Time is too short, and we can't ask the tailor to make new clothes for you. We can only ask you to make do with it for now." "Who is Miss Eleanor?" "Miss Eleanor is the earl's sister. You will see her at dinner." Maria washed her face, refused the help of the maid, and changed into new clothes by herself. Maria was very thankful that corsets that could strangle people had not appeared at that time, and Western noble ladies did not use crinolines, otherwise she would definitely not want to wear it. She was wearing a long dress that was tight on the top and wide on the bottom. The traces of the seams at the waist showed her waist. Perhaps because it was a girl's dress, the off-white dress was very conservative, not showing shoulders or chest. There were large pieces of gold embroidery on the neckline, skirt, and sleeves - she thought the gold threads were probably real gold. What a luxurious aristocrat.
