Western Fantasy: I can brush entries infinitely

Chapter 13

Diana, 26 years old, 1 meters tall, entered the baron's mansion as a maid at the age of 73, and worked in the mansion for the same 14 years as Joyce.
Regarding Diana's family background, it is very tragic. It is written in Egbert's information: Diana was born in a wealthy merchant family in Cote Town, and the family ran a food business; Diana was the eldest daughter, and she had a younger brother who was 4 age.

When Diana was 14 years old, her home was robbed. Only she escaped by hiding in the back kitchen, but the rest of the family was not spared.

This tragedy caused a great sensation in the territory at that time, and the former lord personally ordered the arrest of the criminal, but there was no clue.

The former lord saw that Diana was lonely and could read and write, so he left her as a maid in the baron's mansion.

The above is the basic information of Diana.

Ron re-read the page and put it down slowly.If he remembered correctly, this maid named Diana was the only one among all the maids who had an entry besides Irene.

Its entry is white, called 【self-discipline】

[Self-discipline (white): Improve concentration, and improve self-ability in an all-round way under self-discipline.The stronger the constraint, the greater the boost. 】

-

This is the entry that Diana carries. I heard Irene mention that this person is very strict, whether it is work or usual.

"Tell me your reason." Ron didn't make a decision immediately, and asked Joyce to see what explanation she could give.

Joyce said smoothly as if he had a draft: "Sister Diana is serious and responsible. In the past, when Ms. Erva was out, it was Sister Diana who helped arrange affairs. Even if there were mistakes, Sister Diana would Take remedial measures."

After Joyce finished speaking, he closed his mouth. Seeing that Ron didn't make a statement, he frowned slightly, and his inner thoughts turned back and forth, and then said: "The most important thing is that Sister Diana is trusted by everyone and will obey her arrangements. "

Hearing this, Ron raised his eyebrows, and it seemed that Joyce also saw the key.

Perhaps, from Eggerbert's point of view, this is just a trivial matter of choosing the head maid.

Ron's noble status is there, and it is an honor for the other party to let anyone be the head maid, so he should be grateful for it.

But he didn't think so. After dealing with government affairs for so many days, Ron concluded a truth: any position should be filled by someone who is suitable for it.

Breaking the rules before and allowing Joyce to enter the study to read has already caused the maids to have opinions on her. If Joyce is allowed to be the head maid according to Irene's idea, there may be troubles.

The idea that the common people fear the nobles is deeply rooted, but no matter how powerful the nobles are, they cannot completely control people's hearts.

Even in Arnold's territory, there are some people who hate Ron, just because he is a nobleman and the owner of this land. There is no reason at all, and this is something he cannot avoid.

Egbert has done a good job, but he underestimated people's hearts and shouldn't have put Joyce's information on the shortlist.

Ron took a serious look at Joyce, took out the paper with Diana's information and put it aside, and said, "Let all the maids of the mansion wait in the lobby tomorrow morning, I have something to announce."

Seeing Ron's movements, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Yes, my lord."

Afterwards, Ron and Irene left the study, and Joyce stayed here to continue reading.

She was a little absent-minded at the moment, and she always felt that what the lord said to her just now contained deep meaning, as if it was a test, or a test.

Joyce took one from the shelf and put another back, each without reading a page or two before switching to the next.

"what?"

Joyce took out a heavy book from a corner of the bookshelf, opened the cover and found a wooden box inside.The cover was just a disguise for the wooden box. When she was arranging the bookshelf, she didn't notice that the wooden box was not locked. It was obviously hidden in the study by someone.

The study is the lord's private room, and perhaps the only person who can hide things here is the former baron.

Joyce didn't dare to open it privately. When he wanted to put it back, he was worried that the box contained important things, so he picked up the wooden box and walked out of the study.

-

Ron left the study, and Irene followed behind him sullenly.Because just now Ron punished her for not eating his dessert for a month, not only that, but also canceled Irene's vacation.

"Do you know it's wrong?" Ron said lightly.

These punishments were just for Irene's slip of the tongue in the study just now, how could she interfere with the head maid's choice, as Ron's personal maid, this is disqualification.

Punishing her not to eat dessert seemed harmless to outsiders, but Ron was also afraid that if the punishment was too harsh, Irene would change her personality and lose fun for herself.

Not letting her eat delicious food is a suitable punishment for Irene.

"Master, I know I was wrong." Irene bowed her head in aggrieved manner, not daring to speak.

Seeing that she was in a slump, Ron asked, "Irene, is that why you dislike Diana?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that Sister Diana is too strict. I may never be able to make snacks by myself again." Irene's eyes moistened when she thought of the sadness.

Ron was at a loss, "Is there a relationship between her being the head maid and your making dim sum?"

Ron also tasted the dim sum made by Irene. The taste can only be said to be good, but it is not so good to say how delicious it is.

Maybe it's because of her lack of experience, she is already pretty good at this level at her age.

"Sister Diana is strict with herself. When she wakes up a day, when she finishes work and eats, when she washes up and goes to bed, she can make a list."

"I can't enter the back kitchen when I work in the mansion. I usually rely on the head chef to help. If sister Diana finds out."

Ron could even see a trace of fear in Irene's eyes, and he couldn't help saying, "Then her skin must be fine?"

Erin: "???"

"It's okay, you make your snacks, and then just say that I want to eat." Ron didn't make things difficult for Irene. This child is the one who chooses to run away even after arranging a marriage contract in his own family. How can he bear this kind of depression.

Before Irene was happy for a few seconds, Ron said again: "Wait for the one-month punishment to end."

"Yes, master."

-

The next morning.

In the hall of the Baron's Mansion, Ron announced Diana's position as head maid in front of all the maids.

"Thank you Lord Lord, I will do my best and not let you down." Diana said meticulously.

She has a head of chestnut hair, a beautiful melon-shaped face, long eyelashes, and serious eyes in clear eyes, making people dare not make the slightest joke when talking to her.

This is a complete beauty.

"Well, the internal affairs of the mansion will be left to you. You will go to get new clothes later, and there is also a room dedicated to the head maid. You can choose by yourself." Ron said a few words, and then left with Irene.

Ron visited Egbert's room and told him about it.Egbert didn't react much, just nodded with a smile and said he got it, he didn't care who was the head maid, as long as he could share the lord's worries, that would be fine.

"You have a good rest, I should go to work, there are still a bunch of paperwork that I need to deal with."

After a short chat, Ron left and went to the study.

The amount of government affairs to be handled today is several times that of before, and Ron is getting bigger and bigger.In the process of reviewing the documents, Ron discovered that among the three major villages and towns in Arnold's territory, it would take a very cumbersome process to pass on a simple theft case.

At the beginning, the victim needs to report the situation to the guards. After the guards confirm it, they will report it upwards. If it can be resolved, it is fine.

The three villages and towns are different, so there are three processes, which are very complicated.

"With such a small population, they are scattered into three villages and towns. Maybe they should be merged into one town instead of villages?"

This idea suddenly flashed in Ron's mind, merged into a unified management of the town, streamlined the staff, and removed those complicated reporting procedures.

In this way, it would be easier for the Baron's Mansion to implement some policies.

"It's too early to think about these things. We have to eat every bite. The potatoes haven't grown yet, and the people in the lords can't fill their stomachs. The impression of the lord is still in the past. I'm afraid it will be counterproductive if I enforce it. Come back and talk."

Ron dismissed the thoughts in his mind and carefully reviewed the documents.Not long after, there was a knock on the study door, Irene opened the door, and Joyce walked in.

"Sister Joyce is on vacation today?" Irene beamed with joy.

"Well, Sister Diana has arranged for people to clean the mansion, so I read books when I have nothing to do." Joyce said and looked at Ron behind the desk from the corner of his eye.

Last night, she handed the wooden box to Ron, but she didn't expect that it contained a big secret of the Baron's family. When Joyce was afraid that he didn't know what to do, Ron told her to go back to sleep quietly like a normal person.

As for what happened to the wooden box in the end, Joyce didn't know.

"Joyce."

Hearing Ron call his name suddenly, Joyce trembled, "Yes, my lord."

"Don't be nervous, I need your help with something." Ron smiled. He naturally knew the reason for the other party's nervousness. It might seem like a big deal to outsiders, but Ron didn't think so.

Afterwards, Ron handed Joyce a document, and explained: "This is about the issue of successive closures of merchants in the territory. You can deal with it and see if there is any way to solve the problem."

"It's me, my lord."

Ron didn't give her a chance to refuse, "I'll check it after it's finished."

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.Time for Joyce to play her part too!

In desperation, Joyce went aside to think about countermeasures.

Time passes without knowing it.

Ron and Joyce have things to do so they won't be bored.Irene, on the other hand, was in a daze all morning, and she could usually taste desserts to relieve her fatigue, but after being punished, she was really not allowed to do anything.

"Ah~"

Seeing Irene's pitiful look, Ron sighed and said, "Well, I'll give you a task. If you complete it, the punishment will be shortened by half a month."

Hearing this, Irene was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "Master, no matter what task it is, I will definitely complete it!"

"Well, don't you like making desserts? I saw a food called 'pudding' in a book. It's very delicious. I'll tell you how to do it. If you make it taste good, you've finished it."

The raw materials for making pudding are not difficult to find, mainly the production method. Ron handed this matter over to Irene and gave her a one-week deadline.

After Irene left with the formula given by Ron, Joyce came to the table and respectfully said, "My lord, this is the solution I have thought about, please have a look."

Ron took the paperwork she wrote, and there was a lot of content written on it.

Joyce thought about several possibilities that caused the closure of businesses, and proposed corresponding solutions to these possibilities, each of which has its own reasons.

"How did you come up with this?" Ron asked curiously.

Joyce replied: "There are similar things in the books I have read, combined with my own thoughts."

"It seems you read a lot."

Ron nodded slightly, and circled one of the plans with a pen, "Just write this one up."

Joyce was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know this is the case, my lord?"

Ron pointed to the pile of documents next to him, "These documents are all about what happened in the territory."

"There are good ones and some bad ones. They don't exist alone, and every event will inevitably affect another thing. Finding the connection points among them is not difficult to deduce the cause of the matter."

Ron said with a smile, and Joyce suddenly realized that she was not stupid, so she could naturally understand that Ron was capable of handling these documents, and he was just testing her just now.

But what is the point of such a test?Let her handle the government affairs of the territory in the future?Joyce didn't dare to think about it.

In Ron's opinion, Joyce's processing ability was quite satisfactory and did not exceed his expectations. This may have something to do with her lack of entries.

From Ron's point of view, entries are a person's talent.

Joyce was good at everything, but none of them stood out.This does not prevent Ron from cultivating her, average ability is also a specialty.

In the next period of time, Ron will hand over some government affairs to Joyce and let her handle them independently.

This made Joyce not happy, but scared.

At night, Joyce, who was lying on the bed, felt uneasy. She felt that her premonition would come true.

In Joyce's impression, Lord Ron is a relatively taciturn person. He usually stays in his own room and rarely communicates with outsiders. The only people who can talk are Irene and Mr. Egbert beside him. up.

But since Ron inherited the title and took charge of the territory, Joyce faintly discovered the hidden edge in him.

And when dealing with the territorial government affairs together during this period, Ron's bottomless wisdom made Joyce stand behind him, and he deeply felt the gap between himself and Ron.

When Joyce was distressed, Irene bounced to the bed next to her, looking very happy.

Joyce couldn't help sighing, if only he was as carefree as Irene.

"Sister Joyce, what are you sighing for? I'll secretly tell you some good news. The task assigned to me by the young master is almost completed!" Irene moved her head closer and whispered.

Hearing this, Joyce smiled.

"Master said the pudding was delicious, but I don't know if it's true." Amidst Irene's illogical chat, Joyce fell asleep in a daze.

-

After several days of recuperation, Egbert's physical condition finally improved.Early in the morning, he was arranging his appearance in front of the mirror. From today onwards, he will officially return to the position of housekeeper.

After looking at it, Egbert was very satisfied, and it was still suitable for him to wear a butler uniform.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, the door was knocked hastily.

Egbert frowned, turned and opened the door, his son Blake barged in, and said with a panicked and anxious expression: "Father, the lord's illegitimate son is here!"

"Bastard! Your lord is only 15 years old this year, where did you get an illegitimate child?" Egbert reprimanded immediately.

"I was nervous, it should be the illegitimate son of the previous lord!" Black corrected.

Hearing this, Egbert frowned, "Take me to see."
