Chapter 18 I want her
"Hee-hee. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Leah smiled at the butler, wiping her hands with her tattered linen clothes. The housekeeper did not show any dissatisfaction with her performance, nor did he urge her.
On the contrary, the nobles and men on the right side frowned a little, they showed great disdain for the girl in front of them, their bodies were not clean, their movements were rude, without the slightest restraint, under their gaze, Leah put her hands on the transparent crystal ball.
……
Silence, deathly silence.
After the transparent glass ball touched the hands, there was no movement, and the gray air flow still slowly rotated above the liquid without any change.
After a while, the noble men and women on the right side began to talk.
"Oh my God, the impossible has happened today, and I've seen it all. ”
"I didn't expect to encounter one in a thousand wastes today. There are really people who don't have any compatibility between spiritual power and magic power. ”
This is almost a declaration that Leah is a useless person.
"Silence. The butler patted the table and said solemnly: "Although I am only a candidate for the squire, I hope that you will have the character of the Mivi family in everything you do, and treat everyone, instead of distinguishing between the superior and the inferior, always thinking that you are superior to others, and treating others with pathetic eyes." ”
The butler spoke, and everyone fell silent at once. They have listened to the teachings of the family over and over again, but it is true that there are very few who have always adhered to their ways.
The housekeeper slowly glanced at the nobles and men on the right, and as soon as he came into contact with the housekeeper's gaze, most of those noblemen and women consciously lowered their heads, obviously the housekeeper was targeting them present. And the family on the left-hand side knows that he is inferior and arrogant, even if he has more disgust and disdain, he will not show it easily. In contrast to the two sides, the family members stood on the side in a proper manner from beginning to end, silently.
Leah looked at the housekeeper curiously, it was really powerful, there was such a great coercion in the family, and these noble men and women were trained to obey.
The butler waited for the room to be quiet for a while before making a mellow voice. "Fifth place, no compatibility. Again, he didn't explain much about Leah's performance. Of course, after hearing this, those noble men and women did not make any additional moves and discuss again because they had just been reprimanded by the housekeeper.
Looking at everyone evenly, the housekeeper looked at the slightly impetuous expressions of several people, and said slowly, "Now they can invite their attendants, and the attendants can voluntarily choose employers who meet the conditions they want." ”
"Invite?" Leah scratched her head and stood to the side, the butler had said earlier that she needed to be favored in order to be able to enter the Mivi family, and this was the step she was currently underway.
The fact that the crystal ball had just made no reaction to her, which meant that she would be very ineligible for the selection, made her feel a little regretful, but she quickly threw that unhappiness behind her. Although Leah hopes that she can practice handsome magic like Nina and unleash various skills at will, it is just some ordinary fantasy, and she is not the most desired.
So the current test results are not a luxury for her. What's more, this also shows that it is unlikely that he will be admitted to the Mivi family, and he can freely go outside to explore.
Leah chuckled a few times, quiet in her beautiful fantasies.
With Leah in a daze, the battle for the attendants has already begun on the side.
"First girl, I'm willing to pay you two gold coins a month! Would you like to serve my son?" Not long ago, the fourth lord, who stood up in surprise, now sat on the chair and said lightly.
Among the noble men and women on the right side of the hall, the second-to-last man sitting above and below immediately stood up and said, "Fourth brother, your conditions are too low, just the monthly salary price of a first-order and second-order ordinary cultivator, you can invite a high-level light system compatible attendant?"
He said coldly: "First girl, I will give you a reward of three gold coins per month higher than the invitation price of the fourth lord, and at the same time will ensure that you have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, are you willing?"
The Fourth Lord Lord's reaction to what the Eighth Lord said was also fierce, and he also stood up and snorted coldly, "Eighth Brother, your son's attribute is fire, so he should hire a fourth attendant, why do you need a light attribute attendant?" I don't allow you to say more. ”
"Tsk, who knows if you're going to adjust. "The eighth lord smashed his mouth.
The fourth lord continued to snort coldly and opened his mouth to ask for the price: "I am willing to pay the price of four gold coins, and at the same time ensure that you have food, clothing, shelter and transportation!"
The Eighth Lord spat, and continued to increase the price: "Five gold coins!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding nobles and women were in an uproar, the current situation is obviously the eighth lord against the fourth lord, although between the eight lords and the four lords, the matter of not having a good impression is already well known, but I didn't expect it to be in full swing, and the eight lords are even willing to pay a very high price to recruit a squire with completely different attributes.
When the two went head-to-head.
"What's your name?" asked the first girl softly with a soft smile, her expression very friendly. She was the only lady who had apologized to the butler since she stood up last time.
The girl knew that it was a member of the noble family who asked about her, and she did not dare not open her mouth to answer. She let out a delicate voice and said in a trembling voice, "Whew." Whew. Graceful. ”
The Seventh Mistress didn't feel anything, but Leah, who was behind her, sneered when she heard it, obviously very amused by the girl's name.
The housekeeper swept the field, quieting down the eight lords and the four lords who were red-faced. "The qualification of the fourth attendant will be signed by the Eighth Lord, is there anything higher?" The Eighth Lords did not continue to raise the price, and the scene was mixed, so it was natural to have a calming down in order to confirm the final contract price.
"Yes. Under the gaze of everyone, the apologizing Seventh Master Mother got up elegantly and spoke slowly. "First girl, hello Lililuo, I am willing to pay eight gold coins, and at the same time ensure your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Would you like to sign a treaty with me?"
Hearing this, both sides of the noble lady suddenly let out some gasps.
"Are you crazy, an attendant who has not yet grown up and has never practiced, the price is so high!" The Eighth Lord looked at the noble lady on the side, showing an incomprehensible expression: "What if I grow to a bottleneck in the future and can't rise!"
The Seventh Master Mother shook her head, "No, I am willing to save money and pay so much for my daughter." With a loving smile, she looked at the girl in the shadows behind her.
The Eighth Lord smiled faintly, clasped his fists and nodded slightly, "Sure enough, the Seventh Sister's love for her daughter is unmatched." With that, he sat down. This move shows that he will no longer argue with the four lords and continue to participate in it to compete for this share.
The four lords sat down directly without speaking, obviously giving up the competition. I don't know if it's because of the Seven Master's Mother's thoughts, or because its bid is too high.
"Seventh sister, I'm willing to do anything for my daughter. A noblewoman whispered.
"Indeed, four gold coins are indeed very high, not to mention eight gold coins, and the monthly service fee is only thirty gold coins, plus daily expenses, if the money is usually large, it is really not enough to pay such a large amount. The two noble ladies on the side discussed.
Wait for a few nobles to finish talking. A cold voice rang out.
The third lord got up slowly, "I'm sorry, Seventh Sister, my son also needs a light attendant. Fifteen gold coins!" There was no apology on his face. There was also an irresistible meaning in the tone, full of confidence, and it was determined that its price could be difficult for everyone present to accept!
As expected, there was an uproar all around, fifteen gold coins, enough for half of their monthly service!
The ministry fee is the net income calculated as the total income they receive each month from working for the family, without deducting any additional expenses!
And now just for an attendant, or a little girl who has never been exposed to magic and spiritual power, to pay so many commissions, it is really too expensive, such a huge monthly expense, even enough to force the use of personal savings in the past, for the sake of the unbreakable contract to drag down the family wealth.
Some noble men and women naturally can't imagine this staggering expense. They were all completely stupid and didn't dare to discuss it at all.
The children who stood in front of their parents were still ignorant of the concept of money, and they all looked at the son standing next to him with envy. Although the third lord does not work for the family and has a small reputation in the family, the considerable income and the amount of money he is willing to pay for his son make them very jealous.
After the Seventh Master Mother waited for the surrounding discussion to stop, she smiled dismally, "I really can't afford to pay so much monthly gold, Third Master, I give up." Her expression changed from love to apology, and she finally glanced at the girl behind her, whose expression did not fluctuate any more, and slowly sat down in her chair.
"Well, if there are no higher conditions. Then ask the third lord to ask your son-in-law to sign the relevant regulations with the first attendant. The butler gave a little instruction behind the scenes, and let Grace go behind the scenes with them, signing their names to each other at the table next to the house.
It's just a matter of pressing the handprint and signing it, and it's fast.
Then they returned to their places, and the first girl did not return to the hall, but stood behind the chair of the third lord. Hidden in the shadows, Cecherno's expression did not dare to look up at the field.
The butler glanced around and continued, "There are four more to follow. ”
The competition resumes. But it is not as intense as it was at the beginning. The first squire is the existence of the strongest hand, so naturally it will not be left to the end.
Then came the third place, the attribute she had just measured was the gold system, and she was hired and signed by the four lords with a salary of three gold and six silver, which was relatively low compared to the fifteen gold coins just now. and then the fourth, who was signed by the eight lords with a salary of four gold coins.
After that, there is the second one, she is a girl with spiritual power for the wood system, and she was signed by the sixth master mother with a salary of three gold and four silver.
In the end, Leah was completely left behind. Yes, no one has extended an invitation to her to put a price tag.
Leah blinked, no one took a fancy to her, but did not show any frustration, Lang Lang said: "Good evening, everyone, go to bed early today, I'll go back first if it's okay!"
She doesn't have much fluctuation in her unflattering situation, she has seen too many such job search failures, and she doesn't think she has much charm or any unique ability to be seen by others.
The butler smiled gently at Mr. Pi and didn't respond to what Leah said, "Mr. Pi." Thank you very much for bringing some excellent seedlings. He made a metaphor to several girls, and at the same time brought a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, but in spite of this, in the end, one of them didn't sign the rules smoothly." I apologize deeply for not taking all the children. ”
The butler's meaning was obvious, the last girl in the family was not needed.
Mr. Pi still hung that indifferent, "No, it is still relatively rare for people who are completely incompatible with spiritual power and magic power, although I was quite optimistic about her before, but even if this kind of scene is counted, it may be too dark at the time, look away." ”
"Oh, Mr. Pi is so optimistic about this little girl?" the butler's eyes flashed, and he was surprised by what Mr. Pi said.
Leah was wandering around idly with nothing to do, and the door was somehow locked and unable to get out, which made what she had just said empty words, and the butler was talking to Mr. Pi and didn't pay attention to her. The noblemen and women on the right hand side were all talking about the acolytes, ignoring her presence even more.
So she was given extra spare. I was bored and looked at the side of the family, touched their clothes, and asked them if it would be embarrassing to wear such uniform clothes on the street, or if they would find the wrong person.
But those family members were hindered by this kind of scene, their status was not high, they didn't dare to do any extra actions, and they didn't speak, so they let her go.
"Mr. Pi is very sorry, although you said so, but it still doesn't work, everyone in the family can be recruited, but she is just a little girl, what ability can she have, at the same time, she does not have more favorable strength, she can't do any physical work, not to mention that now that she is attacked by the beast tide, the monthly payment in the family has gradually decreased, so the additional expenses need to be minimized. The butler said with a slight bow.
Mr. Pi smiled flatly and did not speak again. He acquiesced to the butler's decision at the moment.
"The fifth girl—" was about to say no to Leah. The Seventh Master Mother on the side suddenly interrupted: "Fifth girl, what's your name?" As soon as the Seven Master Mother said this, the people on the side understood that she actually wanted to use the girl in front of her as an attendant!
A piece of waste, can't do anything, is this all right? The people around her obviously don't think well of her.
"Uh, seven, seven, hello to the seventh master. I, my name is Leah. Leah stammered as she stood beside her family. When I talk to a woman, she changes in an instant.
She was playing with the corners of her sackcloth garment, restless.
lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and a cringing look made Mr. Pi let out a cry of surprise. He was very curious about Leah's performance at this time, and the smooth rhetoric he had just made to them, his unhurried reasoning in the carriage, and the casual inference on the carriage all made him look at him differently, and now that he was paired with the Seventh Master, why did he stand restlessly and couldn't say the right thing?
"Hello Leah, my daughter wants you to be her attendant, would you like to?" said the Seventh Master Mother as she looked at her.
"Huh? no... Forehead. When Leah heard that the Seventh Master Mother was actually going to recruit her attendant, she was frightened and raised her head to look at her, and saw a gloomy and soft smile on the face of the Seven Master Mother. made her legs suddenly weak, almost knelt, and only spit out half a word, and there was no follow-up.
Was this a threat? Leah thought worriedly, what would happen if she didn't say yes?
However, the Seventh Master Mother only sent an invitation with a modest smile, and she didn't expect that she would become a threat in the eyes of the other girl. She raised her voice slightly, overpowering the commotion on the side, and invited again.
Leah cried with a sad face, since this is the case, it is not okay to disagree!
"No, you don't have to pay a commission! She could feel a large wet patch behind her back.
"Oh, is this really possible?" the Seventh Mother was visibly shocked, this was her daughter's request at first, and she understood that her daughter was indeed flawed now, and desperately needed an attendant, and although she had no ability, she also made her daughter do things much easier in some way. And in this recruitment meeting, it is also an appropriate opportunity, saving the trouble of searching.
The Seventh Master Mother continued with a soft smile, she naturally wouldn't let the girl suffer too much: "Leah, I will arrange you to live in my daughter's room, live together, and also ensure food, clothing, housing and transportation outside of work, and at the same time give you a monthly salary of one gold coin, do you agree?"
"I agree. Leah muttered. She didn't dare say the opposite now.
The Seventh Master Mother suddenly smiled, and the girl behind her also showed a soft smile on her face.
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, all the girls found by Mr. Pi were accepted, which also gave Mr. Pi enough face, there would be no more related associations, clapping his hands, "Okay, it's not too early, today's waiter meeting is over here, the Seventh Master's Mother, please bring your attendants here to draw and sign, and the others can retreat." ”
He looked at the noble men and women around him, slowly withdrawing from the table with their respective children, and some even walked out of the open door impatiently, and said again as if he was not at ease: "Everyone, pay attention, tomorrow is the admission of the lower department, remind the little boys and ladies who are still in the holiday state, don't be late!"
