Qin Yuan's sentence of waiting for a while directly made Tang Zheng wait for a few more months.

It wasn't until June that Steward Qin finally brought good news - there was a vacancy.

A few days ago, a little maid in charge of taking care of the garden in the Wei family died of a sudden illness and needed to fill the vacancy. After the news came out, several stewards of the Wei family recommended people to the mansion, and the steward of Qin recommended Tang Zheng.

The next morning, Steward Qin took Tang into the Wei Mansion.

As one of the five major families of Canglong Mansion, the Wei family's family background is really extraordinary.

In the entire Qingyun Street, the Wei family alone occupies most of the street, with more than 400 houses, including six in the garden alone, and nearly 300 people live in them.

The Wei family's current oldest generation is naturally Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei.

The old lady and his wife have two sons and two daughters, both of whom are married.

The eldest son, Wei Danbai, is the current head of the Wei family, has a wife and two concubines, the main room Wei Zheng Shufeng has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Wei Tianzhi is now in the Moon Washing Academy, and the second daughter Wei Qing'er went to the Illusory Heart Academy of the Thousand Feelings Sect, and the youngest son is Wei Tianchong. There is also a son and a daughter who are concubines and have no inheritance qualifications, but they don't even have the opportunity to enter the academy, and they are not as good as servants in some aspects.

Tianzhi, Tianchong, from its name, you can see the ambition of the Wei family, which is going to God.

When Wei Danbai got a son, the Wei family had already become a trend in Canglong Mansion, so it was no longer about making money, but about cultivating immortals.

It's a pity that their foundation is still shallow, and there are no real immortal cultivators in the family so far, only some external spiritual masters who have paid a lot of money, and the three families of Jin, Zhang, and Gu are still incomparable. As long as the Wei family can produce its own spiritual master, it can protect the family for a hundred years. If you can get out of the heavenly state of mind, then the Wei family will no longer be the Canglong Mansion Wei family, but the Lingzhou Wei family.

As for the national-level family, it must have multiple heavenly moods, and the family itself has its own mantle inheritance to make a number.

In addition to Wei Danbai, the old lady's second son Wei Qingsong also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Wei Ming and the youngest daughter Wei Die.

Among them, Wei Ming had also entered the academy the year before last, but like Wei Tianzhi, the door was open and the cultivation was difficult. Compared with Wei Danbai, Wei Qingsong can give his son fewer resources, so the old lady doesn't have much expectation for this vein, so the main expectation of the Wei family is on this Wei Tianchong.

The Wei family values sons over daughters, but they don't pay much attention to the cultivation of girls - there is no need to spend precious resources for other people's daughters-in-law.

It is precisely because of this that there are not many female cultivators in the immortal cultivation world, not because they have bad qualifications, but because the help from the family is far less than that of men. That Wei Qing'er is said to be taken away by Qianqingzong after being favored by Qianqingzong because of her excellent talent, otherwise she is afraid that she will still be at home now.

There are hundreds of people in the Wei family, and it can be said that all of them are used to serve the old ladies and young masters and grandmothers of the Wei family, and the garden miscellaneous servants that Tang Zheng wants to apply for are the meditation gardens where the little young master Wei Tian Chong lives.

Because of this, the battle for servants this time is also particularly fierce.

In addition to the chief steward Qin Yuan who brought Tang Tribulation, the second steward and the third steward also brought a kid each, in addition to some of the Wei family's foreign house owners, a total of eighteen teenagers, standing in front of Zheng Shufeng, the wife of the Wei Mansion, at this moment, and greeted the wife together.

Finally, this era is not as disgusting as the Qing Dynasty, and the subordinates do not need to call themselves slaves, nor do they need to kneel when they see people.

In fact, this era is more like the Tang Dynasty on earth, the atmosphere is more open, although there are various rules up and down, but the servants are not untouchables, but also have their own dignity.

After all, the world realm that can cultivate immortals is itself a world realm full of opportunities, and even the poorest people may soar to the sky.

Because she was choosing a servant for her son, Mrs. Wei was very solemn and chose it herself.

At this moment, she sat in front of the hall, wearing a red satin shirt with a hundred butterflies and flowers, with jade beads and hairpins on her head, and two maidservants behind her gently shaking fans.

First took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Let's report your name first." ”

Eighteen teenagers signed up one by one, and their own documents were recorded next to them.

Then the wife said, "If you are literate, raise your hand." ”

The eighteen teenagers raised their hands at the same time, and the document ticked each of the eighteen names to indicate that the pass was passed.

In fact, the young people in Canglong Mansion, who are from poor families, are rarely literate.

But most of the people recommended this time are the old people in the house, and they are more clear about the requirements of the Wei Mansion, and they will never pick some unqualified people.

Even Tang Zheng had been repeatedly questioned by Qin Yuan many times beforehand, and only accepted it after confirming that his conditions were qualified.

Tang Zheng literacy began in Xiaohe Village, he already has a good learning foundation, learn words quickly, after following Xu Muyang, he is idle every day and has nothing to do to practice calligraphy.

According to Xu Muyang, the words can't be written well, what kind of characters can be drawn?

He thought that there would always be a little illiterate among the eighteen people who came over this time, but he didn't expect that all of them were well prepared.

The lady said, "If you know arithmetic, raise your hand." ”

This time, a few people didn't raise their hands, but most of them still raised their hands.

Mrs. Wei said again: "If you have done something in a big family, raise your hand." ”

This time, there were fewer people raising their hands, only Tang Zheng and the other two teenagers.

Mrs. Wei asked in detail about the experience of the three of them, Tang Zheng made up his experience in a big family as early as when he was in the Wu family, and after half a year of lying, he is now even more proficient.

After hearing this, Mrs. Nawei asked, "What flowers have you all planted, let's hear about it." ”

But not many people are talking about this.

Ordinary flowers, the Wei family is not rare, it is useless to say it, that precious flowers and plants, the poor boy is not qualified to fiddle.

Everyone looked at each other, and when they saw that no one raised their hands, they breathed a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, Tang Zheng thought about it, raised his hand and said, "The small one has raised a thousand flowers." ”

All the teenagers' faces changed drastically at the same time.

"Oh?" Mrs. Wei was interested: "Tell me how to raise it." ”

Tang Zheng settled down and replied: "Qianzhan flower, a needle-shaped flower with spikes on its roots, stems and leaves, is an extremely drought-tolerant plant, and its stems can be used as medicine. If it can be cultivated for 10 years, it can have a certain spirituality. It blooms once every three years, and because of the large number of needles, if there are thousands of flowers blooming when the flowers bloom, it is called a thousand flowers. ”

"Okay, very good!" Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction: "This is also what you learned from the people you used to follow?"

"Yes. Tang Zheng replied: "Qianlanhua doesn't like humid environments, so there are mostly in the north, and it is not rare, but it is much less in Canglong Mansion." ”

In fact, this flower was left by the family before him when he bought the house.

Tang Zheng heard that these thousand flowers bloomed beautifully, so he stayed to take care of them, but unfortunately he took care of them for more than half a year, and he never saw them bloom once, but he didn't expect it to be used here to answer questions.

There must be more than this kind of flower in the Wei family's garden, but it is definitely better to understand one kind first than not to understand.

That's right, that's why it's all the more important to take care of. The wife smiled at this moment, then turned to the others and said, "You have not raised any precious flowers and plants, and I don't blame you." If the flowers planted by the Wei family are no different from ordinary people, they will lose their worth. So don't worry, if you don't understand, you can learn, and someone will teach you. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

It's a pity that Tang Zheng arrived, although he didn't expect to be selected on this point, but it was a pity that he couldn't play a role with that little advantage.

This wife is also good-natured, and she throws out one question after another, and it seems that it is necessary to investigate these teenagers thoroughly.

Speaking of performance, none of the eighteen teenagers were as good as Tang Zheng.

However, Tang Zai knows his own affairs, and his biggest problem is that there are some problems with his origins.

Although there is the guarantee of the two elders of the Wu family, it is still not as good as these young people who were born and raised and know their roots.

Fortunately, he has already calculated in this matter, so he is not afraid that his wife cares more, but only worries that she cares less.

After asking some more questions, the wife said leisurely: "If you enter the Wei family, how much salary do you think is appropriate?"

That's a delicate question.

Fortunately, these teenagers are also prepared, and some of them are the first to answer: "Naturally, the wife has the final say, and the wife gives as much as she wants." ”

"It is precisely that being able to do things for the Wei family is a blessing that has been cultivated in a few lifetimes, and it is not reasonable to ask for a price. ”

There was even a young man who did everything to get an opportunity, and said loudly: "As long as you can enter the Wei family, the little one will not take anything!"

Most of these teenagers are not very old, but they are mature and sensible at this moment, and Tang Zheng knows that most of them have been taught by their own adults a long time ago.

Seeing that everyone was expressing their positions at this moment, Tang Zai thought about it, but replied: "If his wife is willing, Tang Zai hopes to get three times a month." ”

Sanguan money, that is, three thousand copper coins, which is equivalent to three taels of silver.

In other words, Tang Zheng asked for a salary of three thousand.

This price should be put on the present world, which is normal, but for the young servants of the Wei family, it is simply astronomical.

No one has ever dared to ask for such a high price!

For a while, all the teenagers looked at Tang Zheng in astonishment, and Qin Yuan was even more surprised, is this kid crazy?

Even the wife of the Wei family looked at Tang Zheng in surprise: "You want three times of money?"

Tang Zai's face was embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, please forgive my wife, the little one comes out to do things, although he wants to climb the high branch of the Wei family, but more importantly, he wants to earn some money for his parents." ”

"For the second elder of the Wu family, don't they have enough money?"

"That's not it. Tang Zheng has replied: "It's just that my father-in-law is old, he worked hard when he was young, and he fell ill, and now every rainy day he will have sore muscles and bones, and his whole body will be weak." Canglong Mansion is also a city with plenty of water, and there are many rainy seasons, so the little ones want to buy some elixirs for their adoptive parents, but the price of elixirs is extremely expensive......"

Tang Zheng didn't continue, but his wife already understood.

"I see. Mrs. nodded: "Your business, I heard Qin Yuan say, speaking of it, it is also a coincidence, it was also picked up by the second elder of the Wu family from the snow, and the second elder is treated well on weekdays, and the neighborhood is also quite praised, it is rare for you to repay your kindness, and you are a good boy." ”

Saying that, the wife smiled: "Okay, I'll ask here today, you all go down first, and when you choose it, I will notify you." ”

Eighteen teenagers left.

Back at the Wu family, the second elder of the Wu family hurriedly asked Tang Zheng how the situation was, and Tang Zheng answered one by one.

As soon as he heard that Tang Zheng was asking for three times, the two elders shouted sadly at the same time, and the old lady complained even more: "You kid, you are very clever on weekdays, why are you so ignorant today." That person's children don't want money and want to send it in, but you want three times money, this is really ...... There's no hope. ”

Tang Zheng didn't explain, just smiled: "If there is no hope, there is no hope, it is good to be able to serve you in front of the second elder." ”

The two elders sighed together, but they were helpless.

The eighteen teenagers here left, but the wife of the Wei family was still looking at the information one by one, and the two little girls behind her looked at no one around, so they talked to themselves.

This one said that I think the young man surnamed Li is good, and the other one said that I think the young man surnamed Liu is more suitable, and he said, I think you are moved by the spring, look at the handsomeness of others, and the two of them started to fight together.

Mrs. Wei was amused when she heard it, shook her head, coughed lightly, and the two little girls shut up together, and couldn't help but laugh quietly again.

Mrs. Wei said, "What are you laughing at?"

A girl replied: "Mrs. Hui, I was thinking that the young man named Tang Zheng just now dared to ask for three times of money, and he was able to open his mouth." ”

"That's it, I really thought that this Wei family begged him to enter. ”

While they were talking, Steward Qin came in, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but blush, bowed down and said, "Mrs. Hui, those boys have been sent back." ”

"Yes. ”

Qin Yuan thought for a while, and then said, "What Tang Zheng said today, my wife must not take it to heart. ”

"Take it to heart?" replied, "What do you mean?"

"That's it...... The wages of the three times. Qin Yuan replied.

Mrs. drank a cup of tea slowly: "What, do you think my Wei family can't come up with these few dollars to invite someone?"

"Of course I didn't mean that, it's just that the kid is not sensible......"

"I think he's sensible. The wife has replied: "The second elder of the Wu family saved his life, and he fought to lose his future, and he also had to take care of the second elder, which shows that he is kind-hearted and sincere." At a young age, you know how to put filial piety first, which is a good thing. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei sighed: "You must know that Lu Dao is not a person in this world, if you treat him well, he will definitely repay you, in this world, are there still few ungrateful people? It's good to be smart and clever, but sincerity is even more important!"

Qin Yuan was overjoyed, knowing that there was a door to this matter.

A girl next to her said: "But that kid's background is shallow, and he doesn't know his face but doesn't know his heart." ”

Qin Yuan was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to reprimand, but his wife snorted: "You took the benefits of the Li family and helped you say good things, right? The brothers have turned against each other, and there are also springs of water to repay the kindness of a meal. Why did I try my best to let Qin Yuan come to be the chief steward of the Wei Mansion, isn't it because he knows how to repay his kindness and is a reliable person? Although the origin of this Tang Tribulation is a little unknown, he has a kind character and a good heart. ”

"Wouldn't that be an extra three times a month? Another little girl muttered.

Mrs. glanced at her angrily, and poked the girl's forehead with her pointed fingers: "Look at your careful eyes, what is a few pieces of money? Besides, then Wu Xing is also studying with Tianzhi now, if he knows that other teenagers in our family don't pick, but chooses the most expensive one in their family, he should also think that he is taking care of his family in advance, right?

"Mrs. Mingjian!" Steward Qin bowed to the end.
