"Lily Bath, Wendy Big Toe, Jim Cow Dung, Parker Rednose, John Doorknob, the five of you will be given the opportunity to work at the castle after selection. ”

After three days of tryouts, Carter, the butler, finally announced three men and two women who met his criteria for choosing servants, as the castle's new male and female servants.

The other seven or eight remaining tryouts asked unwillingly: "Mr. Carter, please give me another chance, I will definitely do better!"

"I'm sorry, but once a decision has been made, it can't be changed. But you don't have to be nervous, each of you will be paid 3 copper plates according to the standard of a kitchen maid during the three-day trial. And your excellence is already in my mind, and if the castle wants to recruit servants next time, I will definitely give you a priority. ”

The castle servants, strictly speaking, were in the hands of Liszt.

But it is not a free servant, but a payment is also required, and the servant can save it for himself, buy food, drink, and clothing, or send it home.

The salary of the castle is 1 copper plate for the kitchen maid and male servant assistant for one day, 2 copper plates for the maid and male servant for one day, 3 copper plates for the first male servant and the cook, and 4 copper plates for the male and female butler for one day.

Except for Carter and Mawson, who were alone, several other servants in the castle chose to send them back to subsidize their families.

Moreover, once the servant is tired of work, he can also apply to buy him out, that is, to return to his free body - of course, whether he agrees to buy out or not, the decision is in the hands of the nobles.

The young men and women who were screened out left the castle disappointed, and for them, the loss of the opportunity to work in the beautiful castle was a major blow.

The five who were selected were excited.

"Oh my God, I've been chosen!"

"I ...... Am I staying in the castle?"

"Mom, I did it!"

Carter smiled at the five newcomers and recalled that when he was younger, he had been chosen as a servant by a castle from a difficult family of serfs to a castle where the Viscount family was still a family.

Starting as a lowly servant assistant, he gradually became an excellent servant, and the Tulip family also ushered in a leap forward, and he was sent by the earl to manage the family's annex castle in other towns.

It wasn't until Liszt came of age that he followed and became a housekeeper.

The years had left a heavy mark on his face, and he could hardly remember how he had rejoiced when he had become a servant. He has been working in the castle for decades, and his relatives have been dead for many years, and there are regrets and happiness.

Now my greatest wish is to be by Liszt's side, and when the red sun no longer rises one day, I will choose to sleep forever.

"Young ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. He reached out and pressed down, signaling the newcomer not to get too excited, "I'm going to announce your job next." ”

Lily and the others hurriedly quieted down.

"Lily bath, Mrs. Abbie admires you, your job is a kitchen maid, well, Lady Irene will take you to familiarize yourself for a while, and help Mrs. Abbey as soon as possible. ”

Little Lily immediately nodded like a chicken: "I will familiarize myself with the work of the kitchen as soon as possible." ”

"That's fine, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, Mrs. Abi...... She is straightforward, but once you are familiar with it, you will know that she is a good person. Carter was a little worried about the little girl, and I didn't know if she could handle it with a loud hair dryer from Abbey Spoon.

He went on to announce: "Wendy Bigtoe, Mrs. Mawson will take you through what a maid needs to do. ”

"Yes, Mr. Carter. ”

"Then next, Jim Cow Dung, Parker Red Nose, John Doorknob. Carter looked at the three young men with vegetables on their faces.

"Mr. Carter. All three puffed out their chests and tried to look as elegant as possible.

Carter was satisfied with the attitude of the three of them, and he was more satisfied with the prickly and obedient young man like Thomas: "In the next time, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the work of the manservant as soon as possible." Soon, you'll be busy, not only inside the castle, but also outside the castle. ”

He looked up at each of the new servants: "You are not only yourselves, but you represent the image of the castle, you are well-dressed and civilized, you must become familiar with the etiquette of the nobility as soon as possible, and you must say goodbye to the laziness of the serfs of the past, understand, gentlemen and ladies?"

"Understood, Mr. Carter!"

"Well, each of you has a half-day holiday, go back and share the good news with your families, and from tomorrow you will live in the castle. ”

......

"Mr. Carter, congratulations, you're about to become a butler. Mrs. Mawson spoke with Carter after the new servants were eager to go home and report the good news.

"Well, that's a good feeling. Carter smiled playfully, "I have to live a little longer to keep Thomas from getting on top, and I don't want to see him enjoy that." ”

"I think Thomas would be more than happy to be with him, he's smarter than Tom and Jesse. ”

Carter said with a hint of chatter: "The lord has inherited the courage of the Tulip family, and the shrewdness of the Changtaro family, sometimes, it may be better to be stupid in front of the lord, than to be smart." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly listened attentively, and then said: "The sound of horses' hooves, it's the master who has returned, and I am going to meet the master." ”

"Go, stupid and clever butler Carter. ”

Carter tilted his neck.

He has formed a tacit understanding with Mawson, and only two butlers with a tacit understanding will keep the castle in order.

Walking to the door, riding on the back of a fire dragon horse, the tall and handsome Liszt galloped with the sun on his back, and the golden light sprinkled on his pale golden slightly curly hair, as if countless gold was flowing.

"The lord is like a natural nobleman, he has all the temperament of an aristocracy. Carter thought to himself.

The body bowed slightly: "Welcome home, sir." ”

"Mr. Carter, has the new servant been chosen?" said Liszt, handing the reins to Thomas, untying the bow tie around his neck, summer was coming, and the nobles' clothes were a little stuffy, and he did not like them.

The aristocratic costumes of the Grand Duchy are a style derived from the mainland.

Female aristocrats mainly wore long skirts with skirt braces and cushions on the buttocks, so that the whole long skirt could hold up like a pyramid.

Li Weiwei never wears this kind of clothes, she likes to wear the clothes of male aristocrats.

The full outfit of the male aristocracy was called "Frac Abière", which consisted of a tuxedo coat called "Flac", a small waistcoat "Kirai" worn underneath, and a tight half-cut pants "Best". And, of course, pair it with boots and stockings.

Another is that male nobles need to decorate their necks with clothing that symbolizes the authority of the nobility.

In ordinary households, you can wear a bow tie, go out to run errands, you need to wear a tie-like "crabat", which Liszt called a scarf, and during the ceremony, you need to wear a "ruff", a large disc around the neck, which Liszt called a ruffle collar.

Untying his bow tie and suddenly feeling the heat in his clothes running down his neck, Liszt couldn't help but complain: "I need to start a revolution in clothing!"
