My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 47 Steward’s speculation

Thomas stood up and said loudly to everyone in the audience: “This is the end of today’s selection of maids and maids, you are all gone. Don’t be discouraged, there will be opportunities in the future, this is just the selection of the first batch.”

Thomas is not telling lies to comfort others, but the fact that Gervais doesn’t have much money, he has already told himself the steward, Therefore, the current number of selected servants is only enough to maintain the basic operation of the castle.

For such a big castle, if Gervais is rich, at least twice as many servants can match a castle the size of a viscount.

With that, Thomas looked at Yura and Anna again.

“You two go to the castle to be a maid together!”

Thomas left without looking back.

“Why are you two still standing there, hurry up. Two lucky little fellows.”

Seeing that Yura and Anna were still standing there, the guard shouted at them. The man urged, but although the voice was loud, there was no scolding tone like the previous one. In the end, he laughed, because the guards also heard Anna’s explanation, and the two would be maids of the castle in the future, so the guards did not dare to neglect .

“Oh yeah!”

Some unbelievable two girls are very happy after came back to his senses, with happy smiles on their faces, free and easy personalities Yura even cheered in a low voice.

…

Yura and Anna don’t know what a fierce ideological struggle Thomas went through just now, and finally chose to let the two become maids together. Thomas is at the forefront of the road , followed by the selected servants one after another.

At this moment, Thomas seems to be calm on the surface, and the castle steward is full of style, but he is very uneasy.

In order to choose Anna to be a maid, I did not hesitate to give an extra maid spot. It is because Anna is too good in the crowd. Originally, one more place is not at worst, but Thomas is a little hesitant about Anna’s arrangement. .

Thomas has been troubled by one thing since he followed Gervais, that is, Lord Gervais basically doesn’t need his service to get up and get dressed. Originally, Thomas thought it was Lord Baron who had any opinion on him.

However, since Gervais had entrusted him with the stewardship, Thomas had understood that it was not Lord Gervais who had any opinion on him, but that he was very dependent on him.

Since adults don’t have opinions on themselves, why don’t they like their own service?

Thomas had all sorts of guesses in his mind. He felt that the greatest probability was that Lord Gervais liked the servants of maids. Thomas often heard other servants talk about this when he was a servant in Rose Castle.

This kind of thing is actually a good verification, that is, to choose a maid for Gervais, if Gervais is willing to accept the service of the maid, it can confirm his guess.

But Thomas didn’t dare to do this, because Mr. Gervais’s wife was Mr. Count. Thomas was worried that if he arranged for Gervais to arrange a maid without permission, Mr. Count would catch him and hang him.

This world is also monogamous. In order to reduce the conflicts between husband and wife, basically male nobles use male servants, while female nobles use maids. Although there is no legal regulation, they also become nobles. The default thing between them, otherwise the servants of Rose Castle would have nothing to discuss.

If at first Anna agreed to be the maid of the castle, Thomas would only arrange for her to do ordinary things in the castle, but Anna was unwilling to become a maid in order to let Yura get the last spot.

This made Thomas think of something else, that is, to arrange Anna to be Gervais’ personal maid, so that he could recruit Anna as a maid and verify the accuracy of his guess.

As for whether Lord Count would blame him, Thomas had no idea, but Thomas felt that Lord Gervais entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of Steward, and he was very kind to him, and he should share his worries for Lord Gervais, A Lord Baron getting up and dressing himself is the greatest dereliction of duty by Steward.

If Mr. Gervais is really what he guessed, he only likes the service of personal maids, Mr. Gervais must not be able to say it because of Alice count. Now he arranges for Mrs. Gervais by himself, and he will be Mrs. Alice in the future. Blame down, the responsibility is only on their own.

Anna’s excellence gave Thomas, who had just become a steward, to cherish his talents. Anna’s impeccable appearance, filial piety to her mother, and perseverance to her best friend all reflect that Anna is a true genius. A girl who is as good in appearance as in heart, and most importantly, Anna is literate.

A beautiful, well-behaved, kind, and literate girl is hard to come across even among the freedmen of Winterfell, let alone in Storm Collar. Only such an excellent girl can become an adult’s personal maid. .

“I don’t know if Lord count will send someone to arrest me when he finds out. I hope not, I’m all for Lord Gervais.” Looking at the castle so close at hand, Thomas muttered in the heart one sentence.

……

On the streets of Binhai Town, Gervais just came out of the blacksmith’s shop. He was smiling at the moment. blacksmith.

As for choosing a servant, Gervais would never have thought about it, because he was not used to getting dressed and being served, and he never rang the bell when he got up.

If Gervais knew about the idea, Gervais would definitely say out loud to Thomas, “Congratulations, you guessed it!”

Gervais happily mounted his horse and moved towards the next Go to a stone house. Passing by the first stone house, Gervais took a look, the door was still closed, and then Gervais moved directly towards the last stone house.

In a short while, Gervais brought two guards to the door of the last stone house. Standing outside the door, Gervais did not hear any movement inside, which made it impossible to determine whether there were people inside. , or for other purposes.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as trespassing in private houses in this world. As a fief lord, as long as it is within your own territory, you can go wherever you want.

“Hey, is there anyone?”

Gervais felt a cool breeze when he walked into the stone house. Unlike the blacksmith shop, it was very empty and there was no blacksmith shop. That kind of stove, so the temperature inside the house is significantly lower than outside.

“Is there anyone?”

Standing outside the stone house, Gervais didn’t see the silhouette, there was a cooking stove, table and chairs outside, which was a kitchen. Appearing, Gervais shouted twice in succession, and found that no one responded, so he continued to walk towards the back room.

“who you are?”

Suddenly, just as Gervais was about to reach the door of the back room, a middle age person in his thirties or forties suddenly walked out from behind the door. Wearing a silk blouse with slightly disheveled hair, seeing the three Gervais entering the room, he looked at them vigilantly, his tone full of ill will.
