For every maid in the maid service center waiting for their master to select them, every moment was filled with apprehension.
They hoped that they would be selected and receive a high maid's salary, or be promoted to become the wife or wife of the sword-bearer, and live a superior life.
However, they were also afraid. They were afraid that they would encounter an ugly, wretched, or old master.
They were even more afraid of encountering a master with perverted sexual interests. Such cases were not uncommon. Many of the maids with expectations left with their masters.
A few months later, they were returned to the maid service center with wounds all over their bodies. They were all subjected to unimaginable abuse, and their bodies and minds were greatly damaged. Some even committed suicide by jumping off a building after returning.
In this regard, the sword-bearer service center only compensated these maids with a sum of money, and the public opinion would not be affected. As long as human society still relied on sword-bearers to maintain, then the ordinary people in this world would have to endure such treatment until they or their descendants gave birth to a sword-bearer.
In the waiting room of the maid service center, Wen Meiyun was particularly conspicuous.
Among a large group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, the thirty-five-year-old Wen Meiyun seemed out of place and was isolated in a corner.
Although all the maid candidates were carefully sizing up this perfect mature woman who suddenly joined, no one took the initiative to talk to Wen Meiyun.
"The head maid must be crazy. She actually let such an old woman in as a maid!"
"I'm afraid this woman is no longer a virgin, right?
Will the sword-bearer masters like her? "
"Hehe, not only is she not a virgin!
I'm afraid she even has a child!
Tsk tsk, she's so old and she's still a maid. How shameless. "
"I'm guessing she must have bribed the head maid. She hasn't even studied at the maid school and doesn't even have a maid certificate!"
These noisy discussions made Wen Meiyun unable to even raise her head. All she could do was bury her face in her wrist and let her tears flow freely.
"Alright, all of you shut up. Have you all forgotten the eight rules of serving a maid?!"
A middle-aged maid who was about the same age as Wen Meiyun walked into the waiting room. The moment she opened her mouth, she berated them, and the messy waiting room immediately quietened down.
The eight rules of serving a maid were the golden rules set by the legendary head maid, Sixteen Nights. It was a maid's secret manual that every maid had to memorize.
However, there were rumors that Sixteen Nights was actually not a human, but a female Yuan Kou who played games. Later, she met Zhe Tian Jiandi and fell in love with him. Then, she concealed her identity and became Zhe Tian Jiandi's maid. She was also responsible for training the first batch of maids in the sword council.
Up until the death of the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor, Sixteen Nights, who had followed the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor for more than 30 years, not only did her appearance not change, but she also disappeared without a trace after the death of the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor.
No matter what the legend was, Sixteen Nights was the legend of the maids. The rules she set were the iron rules that all maids had to follow.
The first iron rule of the eight rules of serving was: Master doesn't ask, maid doesn't speak. Master's orders are to be obeyed!
In extension, if the master didn't speak, the maid should always keep quiet.
Obviously, the scene of the discussion about Wen Meiyun had violated the maid rules.
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged maid snorted coldly, "Now that there are two honorable sword bearers outside, it's time to show your beautiful appearance, perfect figure, and obedient service to your future master.
Now, six people in a group, all line up, go out and perform on the glass T stage. If anyone messes up, go back to the maid school and repeat for another year! "
"Yes, Head Maid!"
After the maids saluted, they automatically lined up in five rows, ready to accept the master's selection.
However, Wen Meiyun didn't move. She still shrank in her position, buried her head, and shivered.
The stern head maid saw this, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she walked to Wen Meiyun with a sympathetic expression and handed her a cup of tea.
"Take it!
Drink it, and your spirit will be much better! "Hearing the voice of the head maid, Wen Meiyun revealed her tear-stained eyes.
She reluctantly smiled at the head maid, then took the tea and took a sip, "You added Luohan fruit in it?
This cup of water is not cheap. "
"Your tongue is still so powerful!"
The head maid exclaimed, and immediately, she was a little puzzled, "I didn't expect that you would come back here. You have already left this world, why did you come back?
I was shocked when I saw the application just now. I thought someone had the same name as you, but I didn't expect it to be you. "
"I also didn't expect that I would come back here!" Wen Meiyun sighed, "The world is like a game of chess, it's not up to us poor women.
As long as I have a glimmer of hope, I don't want to come back here! "
"This place is actually quite good.
The salary is high, and no one can control me. I don't even want to leave here! "The head maid replied.
"Actually, Su Jin, I also didn't expect that you would still be here!
It's been fifteen years, and you still haven't found your master. You were the second graduate in the whole school, and your appearance is not inferior to mine. Why bother to stay here? "
"Everyone has their own difficulties!"
The head maid named Su Jin was obviously unwilling to talk about her situation, "Since you are here, it means that you have made up your mind to find a new master?
For a second-hand maid like you, our center is not obliged to pay you 20% of the salary. "
Speaking of this, Su Jin paused, "Although I really want to give it to you, this is the rule, and I can't violate it."
"Don't worry, since I have decided to come back, I have already planned to sell myself again."
Wen Meiyun's words were obviously insincere, otherwise she would not have stayed in her seat and not moved, but would have followed the young female servants to the T stage to choose for the two sword bearers.
"As you wish!" Su Jin obviously saw that Wen Meiyun was in a state of entanglement and hesitation, and that she had not really made up her mind.
However, she would not force her good friend, as the head maid of Yuzhang City, she still had this power.
The two old friends talked for a while about the things of the past. Wen Meiyun's body obviously relaxed, and her mood became a lot more cheerful. At this time, Su Jin, who was talking to Wen Meiyun, frowned.
"What?
How could this be? "
"What's wrong?
What happened? "Wen Meiyun asked curiously.
"What else could it be? It's that group of masters who are difficult to serve!"
Su Jin shook her head helplessly, "Just now, there were thirty maids, but none of them were chosen by the two sword bearers.
There were obviously a few maids with very high quality, and I don't know what kind of maids they want! "
"Forget it, I told them to wait for a few days, and wait for the new maid to graduate from the school, then come back to choose.
These sword bearers are more and more difficult to serve. "
Su Jin sighed. Not being able to choose a satisfactory maid was more or less an accident. She reckoned that she would look a lot worse on her year-end attendance test.
"I'll go!" Suddenly, Wen Meiyun stood up.
"You go!" Su Jin was a little hesitant, and also a little reluctant, "Have you really thought it through?
Once you take this step, there is really no turning back. "
"I have long been unable to turn back!" Wen Meiyun shook her head, put on a standard maid's walking posture, and gracefully left the room.
…
The T stage was a place for the sword bearers to choose their own maids. At a glance, it seemed that there was no difference from the T stage of a thousand years ago. The maids wore standard maid costumes, walked on the T stage, and showed their bodies to the sword bearers below the stage.
The only difference was that both sides of the T stage were completely enclosed by one-way glass.
The so-called one-way glass meant that only one side could see the situation on the other side of the glass.
For example, now, only the two sword bearers outside the T stage could see the maids on the T stage, and the maids inside the T stage couldn't see anything outside.
At this moment, Guhan and another sword bearer sat on the chairs opposite the T stage, silently watching the maids walk by one by one.
In Guhan's hand, there was an exquisite booklet, on which the basic information of each maid was printed.
For example, the maid who walked by now.
Name: Huang Shan
Age: 19
Graduation Result: A
Figure: A
Appearance: A
Appearance: A
Serving: A
Handicraft: A
Housework: A
Cooking: C
Education: B
Nurturing: B
Management: C
Comments: Appearance and figure are the best choice, especially in the field of handicraft and housework, and can take care of every detail of the family perfectly.
However, her cooking and management skills are insufficient, and she is suitable to be a housekeeping maid.
Her serving skills are very strong, especially with her mouth …
To be honest, this maid's data was very good in all aspects, especially her appearance, appearance, and serving, which were the most important abilities for sword bearers. All of them were A-level, and any higher would only be an S-level evaluation. However, there were very few maids who could achieve this evaluation. Many of them were directly booked by sword bearers born in big families before they even graduated, and they couldn't stay at the maid service center.
However, Guhan didn't care about those in front. What he cared about was the maid's cooking skills, especially when it came to cooking meat. Guhan didn't dare to rely on Chanel every day to feed Qing Pin, who was getting pickier and pickier. It was more reliable to hire a maid who was good at cooking.
Unfortunately, after thirty maids walked by, not a single one with A-level cooking skills appeared, so Guhan didn't have a choice.
However, Guhan didn't know why the sword bearer beside him didn't make a choice either.
Looking at his wretched look, the word "lecherous" was written all over his face. Among the maids that walked by just now, many of them were A-level in terms of figure, appearance, and service, but this sword bearer didn't even say a word.
As if sensing Guhan's confusion, this sword bearer turned his head and revealed an ugly smile, "I already have a young maid at home, so this time I want a maid with a mature style!
Oh, right, I'm already a sword bearer at the sword level! "
According to the rules of the sword council, every time a sword bearer's level increased, they would be qualified to receive an additional maid. On the surface, it was said to take better care of the new sword lady, but in reality, it was to improve the sword council's impression of the sword bearer.
"Sirs!
All the candidate maids have appeared. Do you think … "The maid beside Gu Han paused halfway through her words." I'm sorry, there's only one maid left to be selected. Would the two sirs like to have a look at this maid? "
"Where's the information?
Is there no information? "Guhan flipped through the information in his hand, but there was only the data of the thirty maids.
After hearing the maid's words, Guhan wanted to turn around and leave, but another sword bearer grabbed his hand and said, "Apologies, this maid has just joined, we haven't had time to prepare the information!"
"Let's take a look, let's take a look, we won't lose out if we look at one more!" The wretched sword bearer said.
"Alright." Guhan nodded, sat down, and waited for the last maid to appear.
The color of the lights on the T stage instantly changed. Under the beautiful reddish-purple light, a ripe fruit slowly appeared.
"How could it be her!" This was Guhan's first reaction.
"She seems to be good at cooking meat!" This was Guhan's second reaction.
"That's her!
I choose her! "This was the wretched sword bearer who stood up and blurted out.
