After only resting in his room for a while, Xiao Ruo was invited by Joyce to dine.

Lunch was placed in the dining room where Alice lived, it was not sumptuous, but it was very exquisite, considering Xiao Ruo's body, Alice specially asked people to prepare some refreshing Chinese side dishes, which looked a little nondescript.

Xiao Ruo and Alice each sat at one end of the long dining table, holding silver cutlery and eating silently. The servant next to her stood quietly, and the atmosphere made Xiao Ruo a little unhappy, but the rules in the castle were like this, and she always had to get used to it.

After using dessert, Xiao Ruo was about to go back to the room for a lunch break, but was stopped by Alice.

"Rachel, let's come to the study in the afternoon."

Xiao Ruo nodded, got up and went out.

Alice sighed, she felt the unhappiness in Xiao Ruo's heart, and she was much more depressed than usual, but she couldn't, so she could only let Xiao Ruo adapt herself.

In the afternoon, Alice's study at Langton Castle.

Xiao Ruo took a thick book-like thing handed over by Alice, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"

"Information, dear. You need a housekeeper. ”

"Butler?"

"Yes. Here are the candidates, and they all have very detailed information. If you have any special requests, you can also make them, and that's not all. ”

Xiao Ruo looked at the information in his hand that was about as thick as the dictionary, speechless, this is not all?

"Didn't Mr. Charlie do a good job?"

"No, rachel, I don't think you understood my words. Charlie is my butler, and you need someone who belongs to you and is only responsible for you to help you with your daily affairs and travel arrangements, just like Charlie is to me. ”

"Then I don't have to choose, Mr. Locke will be fine." Xiao Ruo threw the materials on the desk beside him.

"Looks like I didn't make it clear." Alice patiently explained, "Mr. Locke is not the right age, and he has no special training. Rachel, you know, it's not easy to become a good housekeeper. ”

Xiao Ruo pursed her lips, a little disapproving.

"Don't take it personally." Alice knocked Xiao Ruo's head, "For a nobleman, a housekeeper is very important. First of all, from a private point of view, the housekeeper needs to understand the various preferences of the master, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, arrange the master's diet and daily life, manage a whole set of servants below, manage their work, deal with all kinds of conflicts that may arise between them, and deal with the affairs of the master's house, all kinds of emergencies can be handled with ease, and can solve any hidden dangers. ”

On the other hand, the housekeeper needs to know the owner's various properties and needs to help the owner arrange the itinerary reasonably, so that the master can handle his official duties well. He also needs to understand the master's relationship with the outside world, including various families, organizations, and so on. He must be familiar with the conditions of the various forces that are closely connected with his master and those who are not in harmony with him. It is necessary to know the etiquette of greeting and sending between nobles, and to arrange various social activities for the host, so that the host can carry out her interpersonal communication and ensure that the master does not make mistakes. ”

"A housekeeper needs to be proficient in all kinds of skills, including etiquette, gardening, cooking, luxury, financial management, management and so on."

As Alice spoke, Xiao Ruo's pupils began to dilate. Oh my God, this is ...... Chamberlain? Is this something that people can do?

And, most importantly, the steward must ensure sufficient loyalty. Of course, I'm not suspicious of Mr. Locke, rachel. Speaking of Mr. Locke, I have to mention another important point of the housekeeper, that is, he should be the same age as the master, so as to facilitate the communication between the master and the housekeeper, and the relationship cultivated from the beginning will be stronger. And the housekeeper is generally to serve the master for a lifetime, although accidents cannot be avoided, but if the age is not compatible, especially when the housekeeper is older, once he has an accident, it is difficult for the master to find another suitable housekeeper. "Alice has finished her Junior Housekeeper Literacy Course.

"So how can you guarantee the loyalty of these candidates?" Xiao Ruo still cares about this the most.

"It's going to take some special measures." Alice looked like this, and said, "The candidates here are all cultivated by the Langton family since childhood, just so that the next generation of heirs can have a good helper." If you choose one, the rest will also serve as stewards, and the next generation will replace the original ones when the next generation inherits the throne of the family. ”

"What about the original ones?" Xiao Ruo asked curiously.

"The Langton family has a place to retire, as you'll know later." Alice only brushed this off, "Rachel, as the heir of the Langton family, you still have one last hurdle to pass. Tomorrow night, I will take you to the forbidden place of the family, where you will need to be tested and recognized by the family crest. Of course, this is not a problem for you at all. ”

Xiao Ruo was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart.

"Relax, rachel. I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you in advance, but I don't think it's really much for you. ”

Looking at Xiao Ruo's disbelieving eyes, Alice could only explain: "Rachel, do you think the ability of 'True Sense' is easy to learn?" Over the years, you've been the only one I've ever known. I won't ask you how you learned it, but the truth is that you will have the special abilities of our Langton family. ”

"You wouldn't want to say that the test of the heir is to use this 'true sense' ability, right? What are you going to do if the heir isn't me?"

"If it weren't for your appearance, I would have used a complex bloodline fusion method to carry out the inheritance of this ability." Alice said truthfully. "In fact, it is to let the heir have the bloodline of the Langton family, so that he can learn this ability."

"Are you sure there won't be any danger?" Xiao Ruo was still a little wary.

"The test is that you use your 'True Sensing' ability to make some choices, and then make a blood contract with the family emblem, which will record your information into the family, and that's it." Ellie has no reservations.

"A blood pact?"

"It's almost what you Huaxia said about dripping blood to recognize the Lord." Alice, who is Huaxia Tong, makes a very vivid analogy.

Xiao Ruo pondered for a while, although it sounded easy, she was still a little uneasy, go back to the Chaos Bead at night to find some suitable protection just in case.

"Alright, Alice, I'll try."

Alice was glad that Xiao Ruo could agree, and thought it would take a lot of saliva.

"After you have passed the test, your chosen steward and the rest of the stewards will naturally enter into a contract with you, and of course, the steward's contract is the strongest. The Langton family has secret methods that have been passed down from generation to generation, and you don't have to worry about that, I will find time to explain these and the various affairs of the family to you one by one. ”

Xiao Ruo regretted it, this is really a hot potato, and it is very troublesome.

"Okay." She was a little weak.

"I know you're in trouble right now, don't worry, rachel, I won't let you get tired." Alice comforted Xiao Ruo thoughtfully.

Let's hope. Xiao Ruo felt that she didn't look like a pregnant woman at all, and she didn't have the consciousness of a pregnant woman, and she was always asking for trouble.

Resigned to his fate, he opened the information book that could be used as a brick to kill people, and Xiao Ruo slowly read it.

Alice smiled with satisfaction, Xiao Ruo now has the consciousness of an heir, which is a good sign.

For a while, there was only the sound of flipping books in the study, and the sunshine in the afternoon was refracted into the study through the stained glass, and fell on Xiao Ruo, who was reading carefully, sprinkling a mottled colored halo. At this time, she looked quiet and elegant, and in Alice's eyes, she seemed to see the oriental young man with the same serious look.

Although there is a lot of information, Xiao Ruo has tens of thousands of years of learning experience, and the speed is very fast. To be honest, the quality of these people is really beyond her expectations, put outside, each of these people can be independent, and there is no problem in being the CEO of a large enterprise, so it can be seen that the Langton family has a heritage. This also made Xiao Ruo a little lucky, early contact with these will definitely help her develop her career in the future, at least she knows the big forces of these big families.

"Just him." After reading it, Xiao Ruo turned the information to a certain page, pointed to the person on it and said to Alice.

Alice looked up from the file, took the open information, and was greeted by a name: Anthony. Williams.

Looking at the photo next to him, it was a handsome man with black broken hair and emerald green pupils. The later information shows that this is a mixed-race child, his mother is Chinese, his father is British, he was in a car accident when he was four years old, and he was the only one in the family who survived, and was later selected by the Langton family to be trained, and he is exactly eighteen years old this year.

"Did you choose him because his mother was Chinese?" Alice asked.

"Part of it." But there is another more important reason, and that is that Anthony's parents also died in a car accident, which reminds her of her own parents.

"Well, since you've decided, I won't interfere, his performance is good, and he is estimated to be a good helper. If it were me, I guess I would have chosen him. Alice closed the information, got up and said to Xiao Ruo: "Honey, you are so fast, I thought it would be dinner time for you to decide, now, accompany me for a walk."

After sitting for an afternoon, Xiao Ruo felt that his legs were a little stiff, so he nodded and agreed to Alice's suggestion.
