My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 46 Selection of Servants

“Next.”

In the town square, after Gervais left, it started to get loud again, especially when Thomas was standing On the high stage of the square, when it was announced that the selection of male and female servants would begin, many serfs below the stage gave out cheers.

For these serfs, this is an opportunity to fish leaping over the dragon gate. As long as they are selected and become servants in the castle, they will not only be able to change their lives, but they will also be able to change their lives after receiving their salary. It can make food and clothing for the whole family worry-free.

However, the opportunity is rare and the competition is equally fierce. Thomas Steward has announced the selection of male and female maids today, with 8 male servants and 5 maids.

Compared to the hundreds of people who meet the selection requirements, the number of places is still too small.

The selection has been going on for a long time. Those who meet the selection criteria are arranged in two columns according to Thomas’s requirements, one for men and one for women. I carefully scrutinized the pair of men and women with nervous expressions in front of me, Thomas called the head, Indicates that these two people are not selected.

After seeing Thomas’s action, the guards at the back immediately shouted: “Next.”

The faces of the two men and women who were not selected instantly turned extremely pale, but I didn’t dare to say much. Under the sharp eyes of the guards, I walked into the crowd next to me in despair. Except for these two people, there were already many men and women like this standing in the crowd. The men bowed their heads and said nothing. Lying on the shoulders of his parents sobbing.

As time went on, there were 7 men and 4 women standing behind Thomas. These people were all smiling and happy. Although no one dared to speak up, it could be seen from their expressions. They succeeded, and the servants and maids who were successfully selected into the castle will live a life that is many times more dignified than that of ordinary serfs.

“You stay.” Thomas sitting on the high platform pointed at the man in front of the team, the man immediately bowed to Thomas in surprise, and then trotted behind Thomas, running back He turned around and smiled happily at his family.

The team of several hundred people is running out, and the eight male servants have been selected with Thomas’ finger just now, and more than ten men who are still lined up behind have lost their participation in the selection. Opportunities, opportunities have to be fought for, these people come later than others, so they don’t even have the chance to be selected.

“Next.”

The men in the back knew that they and the others had no chance, and blended into the crowd with a gloomy expression.

Thomas then set his sights on the women’s lineup. The maid was still the last place, but when Thomas cast his eyes, it was frowned, because there were only two women left in the lineup. Thomas looked at these two people and none of them satisfied him.

“Do you want to choose any one? Or leave it empty first?” Thomas is in a dilemma. If he chooses one, he will lose his steward duties. Some things just can’t be arranged.

Thomas selects the number of servants after careful consideration and is determined according to the needs of the castle. If there is one less, there will be no one responsible for the work.

Just as Thomas frowned and hesitated, something happened in the crowd.

“Let me go!”

“Please let me go!”

Yura took Anna’s hand and forced her way through the crowd. , because the crowd was too dense, the crowd squeezed by Yura and the two would step on the heels of others from time to time, causing a burst of curses. Fortunately, Thomas was still sitting on it. other moves.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.” Anna, who was dragged forward by Yura, was obviously a shy type. Seeing that Yura’s actions angered everyone, she quickly apologized behind.

Although the swearing below was slight, as the commotion got closer and closer, Thomas sat on the high platform with a wide view, and finally noticed the strangeness in the crowd.

Thomas looked away from the line and looked at the crowd, only to see that the commotion finally came to the front of the stage, two girls squeezed out from the crowd, Thomas first glanced at the girl in front.

“Slightly darker skin, but no freckles, good facial features, about 14 or 5 years old, much better than the two in the queue, able to meet the requirements of the maid.” After taking a glance, Thomas immediately felt in his heart. came to a conclusion.

Thomas turned his gaze to the girl in the back again, but was stunned when he saw Anna in the back. He saw the girl with long brown hair and a fair face. Although the clothes on her body had many patches, they were not. The pulp was washed clean and spotless.

“Sir, Mr. Steward, we are here to apply for a maid, okay?” Yura dragged Anna through Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers, and finally squeezed in front of Thomas, who saw Thomas looking at them both , hurriedly bowed to Thomas and asked.

“Okay.” Thomas was worried that there was still one less place for a maid, and he was very satisfied with the girl behind him, so he wasn’t going to blame these two people for their rash behavior.

“But I want to tell you, there is only one place for maids now.”

“Huh?” Yura was stunned for a moment, and then her smiling face immediately collapsed. down.

Yura looked at Anna, then at the two women who were still waiting in line, and pushed Anna in front of her without the slightest hesitation.

“Lord Steward, why don’t you choose Anna, Anna is very nice and she can read.”

“No, Lord Steward, choose Yura! I…I don’t want to. I’ve become a maid.”

“What are you two doing? It’s up to you whether you choose Thomas Steward or not. If you talk nonsense, you won’t be able to spare you!” Before Thomas spoke, the guards behind saw the two girls pushing Shoving, for fear that Thomas would be unhappy, he hurriedly shouted to stop.

Out of satisfaction with Anna, Thomas was not angry, but felt that the scene in front of him was quite interesting.

After Yura and Anna were stopped by the guard, they stopped pushing and shoving, and did not dare to make any more noise.

“You are Anna? Do you still know how to read?”

Thomas asked.

“Yes, yes, my lord.”

“Then choose you!” Thomas nodded was very satisfied, not only beautiful, but also literate, when the time comes to tell Listening to your own adults will definitely be praised again.

“Sir, I don’t want to be a maid, why don’t you choose Yura!”

Thomas frowned when he heard that Anna didn’t want to be a maid. He got up and was about to speak out, when Anna continued to say, “Master steward, Yura came so late because of me…”

Although Anna was a little timid, but at this time for Yura, It also intermittently explained the reason why Yura arrived here so late.

Yura, who was beside Anna, kept moving towards Anna and winked at Anna, and secretly tugged at Anna’s finger, but Anna didn’t pay any attention to it. Photographed by the guard, Yura stomped her feet in anger, but I don’t dare to be as impudent as before.

“oh?”

After listening to Anna’s explanation, Thomas frowned, looking towards Yura and Anna’s eyes full of approval.

Thomas then fell into deep thought.
