Thomas stood up and shouted to the audience, "That's the end of today's selection of male and female servants, you all disperse." Don't be discouraged if you don't choose, there will be opportunities in the future, this is just the first batch of selection. ”

Thomas is not telling lies to comfort people, but the fact is that Gervais does not have much money, and he has already informed his butler, so the number of servants selected at present is only enough to maintain the basic operation of the castle.

Such a large castle, if Gervais became rich, at least twice as many servants could be recruited to 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 maids together!"

After saying that, Thomas walked away without looking back.

"You two are still stunned, keep up. Two lucky little guys. ”

Seeing that Yura and Anna were still stunned, the guards urged the two of them loudly, but although the voice was loud, they did not have the tone of scolding as before, and laughed at the end, because Anna's explanation was also heard by the guards, and both of them were the maids of the castle in the future, and the guards did not dare to slack off.

"Oh yes!"

The two girls were both very happy when they came back to their senses, with joyful smiles on their faces, and Yura, who had a more free and easy personality, cheered in a low voice.

……

Yura and Anna don't know what a fierce ideological struggle Thomas had just gone through before they finally chose to make the two of them maids together, with Thomas at the forefront of the road and the servants selected one after another.

At this moment, Thomas seems to be calm on the surface, and the castle butler is full of style, but in his heart he is extremely worried.

In order to be able to choose Anna as a maid, he did not hesitate to give an extra maid quota, but because Anna was too good among everyone, it was not a big deal to have an extra quota, but Thomas was a little hesitant about Anna's arrangement.

Since Thomas followed Gervais, there was one thing that bothered him very much, that is, Lord Gervais basically didn't need his service when he got up and dressed, and Thomas originally thought that the Baron had some opinion on him.

However, ever since Gervais had given him the position of butler, Thomas had understood that it was not that Lord Gervais had any opinion of him, but that he relied heavily on him.

If adults don't have opinions about themselves, why don't they like their own service?

Thomas had all sorts of speculations in his mind, and he thought that the most likely thing was that Lord Gervais liked the service of a maid, and that Thomas had often heard other servants talk about this when he was a valet in Rose Castle.

This kind of thing is actually very easy to verify, that is, to choose a valet for Gervais, if Gervais is willing to accept the service of a valet servant, then it can confirm his own suspicions.

However, Thomas did not dare to do so, because Lord Gervais's wife was Lord Earl, and Thomas was afraid that if he took the initiative to arrange a personal maid for Gervais, he would be arrested and hanged by Lord Earl.

This world is also monogamous, in order to reduce the conflict between husband and wife, basically the male nobles call the male servant, and the female nobleman calls the female servant, although there is no legal regulation, but it has also become a tacit matter between the nobles, otherwise those servants in Rose Castle have nothing to discuss.

If Anna had agreed to be the maid of the castle at first, Thomas would have arranged for her to do ordinary things in the castle, but Anna was reluctant to become a maid in order to get the last spot for Yura.

This led Thomas to have other ideas, that is, to arrange for Anna to be Gervais's personal maid, so that he could not only recruit Anna as a maid, but also verify that his guess was accurate.

As for whether the Earl will blame himself, Thomas has no bottom in his heart, but Thomas feels that Lord Gervais has entrusted him with the responsibility of being a butler, and he is as kind to him, and he should share his worries for Lord Gervais, and it is the biggest dereliction of duty for a baron to get up and dress himself.

If Lord Gervais is really what he guessed, he only likes the service of his personal maid, Lord Gervais will definitely not be able to say it clearly because of Count Alice, and now he will arrange it for Lord Gervais, even if Lord Alice blames him in the future, the responsibility will only lie with himself.

Anna's excellence makes Thomas, who has just become a housekeeper, have a heart to cherish talents, Anna's impeccable appearance, filial piety to her mother, and her unwavering loyalty to her best friends all reflect that Anna is a girl who is equally excellent in appearance and heart, and the most important thing is that Anna is also literate.

Beautiful, well-behaved, kind, literate girl is not to mention in the Storm Collar, even among the free people of Winterfell, it is difficult to meet one, only such a good girl can become an adult's personal maid.

"I don't know if the Earl will send someone to arrest me when he finds out. I hope not, I'm doing this all for Lord Gervais. Looking at the castle so close, Thomas muttered to himself.

……

On the streets of Marina Town, Gervais had just come out of the blacksmith's shop, and he was now smiling, feeling that he had a good harvest today, and that he had found an all-round blacksmith in his territory.

As for the matter of choosing a servant, Gervais would not have thought of it at all, because he was not used to dressing and needed to be served, and he never rang the bell when he got up, and Thomas made up his brain to become the service he only liked the servant of a maid.

If Gervais knew about the idea, Gervais would have said loudly to Thomas, "Congratulations, you guessed it!" ”

Gervais happily mounted his horse and walked towards the next stone house. Passing by the first stone house, Gervais looked at it, the door was still closed, and then Gervais walked directly towards the last stone house.

In a few moments, Gervais led two guards to the door of the last stone house, and standing outside the door, Gervais did not hear any movement inside, which made it impossible to determine whether it was inhabited or used for other purposes.

But fortunately, there is no such thing as trespassing on private houses in this world, and as a lord, as long as it is in his own territory, he doesn't want to go wherever he wants.

"Hey, anyone's not?"

As soon as he entered the stone house, Gervais felt a cool breeze blowing, unlike the blacksmith shop, it was very empty inside, and there was no furnace like the blacksmith shop, so the temperature inside the house was significantly lower than outside.

"Is there anyone?"

Standing outside the stone house, Gervais didn't see a human figure, there was a cooking stove outside, as well as tables and chairs, which was the appearance of a kitchen, Gervais shouted twice in succession, and found that no one responded, so he continued to walk towards the inner room.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, just as Gervais was about to walk to the door of the inner room, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties suddenly came out from behind the door, the middle-aged man was wearing a silk shirt and his hair was slightly messy.
