"Mom! Mom! Crane burst through the door.

At this moment, the woman Claire met before was holding Melly and was fixing his hair, and when she saw her son, who was usually very quiet, so impatient, she couldn't help asking, "What's going on, so anxious?" ”

Crane gasped for breath, and said word by word for fear that the other party would miss it: "The tax has been reduced!" The lord has just returned from the royal capital and has exempted most of his taxes! ”

"What!" The woman stood up excitedly, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Really!" Crane was also very excited, "Brother Allen just got the news from Nafu City, and he rushed back to tell us the good news. ”

With tears welling up in her eyes, the woman put her hands together and prayed, "Thank you, Lord, for the favor He has bestowed upon us!" ”

It's a shame that Claire isn't here, otherwise you'll have to roll your eyes, it's obvious that Lao Tzu gave you a tax reduction, don't you thank me, thank the Lord?

The mother and son were so excited that the woman forgot to comb her daughter's hair and stood up hurriedly, "I'm going to tell you the good news to your father." ”

"By the way, there's another announcement."

The woman stopped at the doorway, "What else is going on?" ”

"The Viscount is to recruit fifteen maids, including food and lodging, and a monthly remuneration of four hundred copper coins."

Although the woman didn't react so much, Melly jumped up, "Brother! Can Melly go and be a maid! I'm very diligent! Then you can earn your own money to buy candy to eat! ”

Crane touched her little head, "People want maids over sixteen, you're only six years old this year, and you're still ten years away." ”

Melly's little face suddenly became bitter, but after a while, she thought of a good idea, "Then can Melly apply for the position of maid in ten years?" The money Melly gets can also be used to buy candy for her brother. ”

The woman poked her daughter's head again, and said with a smile, "You know that you want to eat, and when your brother enters the city in a few days, he will bring you a piece of candy." ”

Mei Li was originally aggrieved and covered her head, but when she heard this, she suddenly smiled, hugged the woman's hand and shook it: "I love my mother the most!" I'll go with you and tell Dad the good news! ”

Then he took the woman by the hand and ran out first, and the woman had to laugh and follow.

As the news of the tax reduction spread, a wave of joy spread rapidly around Nafu City.

……

In the grass in front of the Viscount's Mansion, there were already many girls who had come to apply for jobs, and people were still pouring in outside.

"Get in line! Come one by one! Reagan shouted as he stood on the high staircase of the Viscount's Palace.

The girls below quickly formed a long line until they reached the door, and the people at the back of the line stood on tiptoe to see what was happening in front of them.

Claire glanced at the weather, it was the middle of the day, the sun was itching, and the girls who were only fifteen or sixteen years old were standing in line despite the heat.

"Reagan, let them in, recruit in the castle."

"But young master......" Reagan was clearly reluctant to let these mud legs into the castle.

"It's nothing, the ground is dirty and the maids can sweep it clean." In Claire's view, people are always above something.

"Yes! What a merciful lord you are! Reagan praised.

Ignoring Reagan's compliments from time to time, Claire took the lead into the castle.

The girl at the back of the line asked, "What's wrong?" Something happened in front of me, how did it suddenly move. ”

"It was the Viscount who let us enter the castle for recruitment."

"Great! Was the one who was about the same age as us the Viscount? He looks so good, like a real nobleman. The girl said shyly.

"Yes, and the Viscount is so good, he must be happy to work in his castle."

The girl glanced at the people around her and sighed, "But there are so many people here this time, I think there is little hope." ”

"Don't talk about it yet, it's our turn to go in."

After entering, the girls were placed in the hall by Reagan to wait, and he and Claire arrived in the conference hall, which was somewhat like a corporate recruitment in a previous life.

In the hall, the girls who came to apply for the job were restless, although there was a gorgeous sofa, none of them dared to sit down, and even when they saw such a gorgeous sofa and some exquisite decorations beside them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority in their hearts, and they became even more nervous.

The job fair officially began, and the girls outside were called into the conference hall one by one.

Claire just sat on the sidelines and handed over the recruitment to Reagan, after all, everyone in this job has decades of experience, and professional things have to be done by professional people.

Reagan: "What will you do!" ”

"I... I'm diligent! Anything can be done! ”

"What do you do, do you make food? Will it mop the floor? Do you do laundry? Will ......"

Reagan's several questions stunned the girl sitting opposite, and finally her head didn't even realize what she had said, and she had already appeared outside the conference hall.

"What will you do?"

"I don't know anything, but I can learn!"

Reagan's face darkened, and he hurriedly waved his hand to let the other party out, he was looking for a maid who could work instead of a student who needed to be taught.

Claire showed a happy smile on the side, I have to say that this girl has commendable courage and will not dare to apply for anything.

"What will you do?"

"I am the eldest daughter in the family, and I can cook, wash clothes, and feed pigs!"

"What kind of food will you make?"

"Grilled meat, bread...... Broth ......," the girl thought with a hard time dragging her chin.

"Gone?"

"That's all my family eats."

“……”

Reagan waved his hand, "Get out." ”

"So am I hired?" The girl's eyes were full of anticipation.

Reagan sighed, "TBD." ”

After the girl went out, Reagan said to Claire with a bitter face: "Young master, the quality of the maids here is really poor, it's really not good, let's go to other nobles to buy a few back." ”

"I think it's good." Claire smiled: "It's okay to be able to operate normally in the daily life of the castle, and there is still time to learn slowly, and you can always learn." ”

"I'm afraid they won't be able to serve you well......"

"I don't need anyone else to wait, I just need to keep the castle in order."

"Ugh." Butler Reagan sighed again.

"Don't worry, isn't that you? I'm sure you can teach them well. Claire patted Reagan on the shoulder and encouraged.

In the next second, after being encouraged by his own young master, Reagan's momentum visibly recovered.

"Don't worry! I won't fail your trust! ”

"Next!"

At this time, a somewhat thin girl with black hair and brown eyes came in outside the door, and she was timid and weak, and the chair opposite Claire and the two looked a little cramped and uneasy.

Reagan's brows were obviously furrowed, not only because of the other party's nervousness, but also because the other girls who came to apply were either half a head taller than her, and they looked very capable of doing a good job, and their figure and appearance were very good enough not to embarrass Lord Viscount, although this girl had a good face, but her black hair was obviously not common here, and it was not very suitable for the maid in his heart.

"Hello two adults, my name is Yuna......" After a brief self-introduction, the girl closed her mouth tightly and looked like she was being slaughtered.

Rigen wanted to wave the other party out directly, but was stopped by Claire, although the other party's appearance is still very European and American, but the black hair and brown eyes make him feel inexplicably familiar and intimate.

"Are you born with this hair?"

"Hmm!" Yuna nodded vigorously, but after a while she felt that she had said too little, and added with some disrespect to Lord Viscount, "Mother said that my black hair is very beautiful. ”

Claire chuckled, "That's true. ”

"And what will you do?"

"Sweeping, cooking, and doing laundry." Speaking of this, Yuna's neck shrunk and said hurriedly: "Even if I can't, I can learn, I can learn things quickly." ”

Looking at the girl with a red face on the other side, Claire seems to have found the fun of being a difficult elementary school girl in her previous life.

"So what advantages do you have over the others? They all seem to be taller than you, and their strength must be greater than yours, so they can do better than you in terms of what you can do, so why should I hire you? ”

Yuna's little face flushed again, where had she ever seen such a difficulty.

"I ...... I could have worked more hours with less money, but could I have less than 100 copper coins? Yuna looked pitifully at Claire with her big eyes.

"Why?"

Yuna tugged at the corner of her clothes and bowed her head and said, "Mom is sick, I want to save money to buy medicine......"

Claire said softly, "Okay, got it, let's go out first." ”

Yuna stood up and walked slowly to the door, although she was timid, she was still a little unwilling, so she mustered up the courage to ask, "Then am I eliminated?" ”

"TBD."

Yuna, who went out, took a deep breath and made a bitter little face, Lord Viscount was so difficult for herself, then she would definitely not be able to get by.

"Young master, are you admitting this maid?" Reagan asked, this is the first girl that the young master is interested in, although it is a little worse in all aspects, but as long as the young master likes it, it must be hired.

"Hire, just like any other maid, you don't need special treatment. By the way, the reward for 400 copper coins was also given to her. ”

"Understood!"

……

A morning passed, and the recruitment of maids had been completed, and seeing fifteen maids in maid costumes standing neatly in front of her, Claire finally realized what the evil of the noble class was.

Once the recruitment was complete, Claire returned to her room, and Reagan, who was an experienced servant, would take care of it.

However, it is estimated that Reagan will be much busier in the next few days, and it will not be easy to teach those maids how to be a competent maid.

But it's better to be busy than to be idle, and when people are idle, they are scrapped.

Claire is in this state right now, lying on a recliner looking at the ceiling, wondering when the next week will come, and then the next trade will be made.
