Chapter 18 Steward Qin
Before dawn, Tang Zheng got up to clean the courtyard.
There was a rustling sound in the courtyard, Tang Zheng waved his broom again and again, and the aura traveled through his body, passing through every vein, and finally became invisible.
But every time he used his whole body, there was always a trace of aura that would eventually be hidden in his blood, making Tang Zheng's whole body strength soar.
This was discovered by Tang Zheng after he broke free from the shackles that time, and he found that in the process of cultivation, the original Tibetan Elephant Sutra could not only use spiritual energy to expand the meridians, but also melt into the blood and increase strength.
Refining blood, bones, and internal organs with spiritual energy is what can only be done by detaching from the mortal realm, and it is precisely because it is called detached from the mortal body, because it is out of the mortal body. However, the Tibetan Elephant Sutra was able to refine the body when the spiritual platform first opened, which made Tang Zheng surprised and delighted.
At that time, he realized that this was the real hidden function of the Tibetan Elephant Sutra.
Xu Muyang has always thought that the Tibetan Elephant Sutra was written by the master of the army, and the effect is definitely not as simple as simply attacking the jade gate, and now it seems that he is not wrong. It's just that he mistakenly thought that the role of the Tibetan Elephant Sutra should be the nine turns of the Jade Gate, but he didn't expect it to be refining the body in advance.
It's no wonder that Xu Muyang didn't expect it.
Immortals are dominated by spells, and the Jade Gate is the most important, it is directly related to the speed of cultivation, who would have thought that the Tibetan Elephant Sutra is a different way. As for what is like this, before completely opening the soldier's hide, Tang Zheng knew that he could not find an answer.
At this moment, he cleaned the courtyard, and the Tibetan Elephant Sutra had also been cultivated, only to feel that the strength of his whole body had increased again. Although he is a teenager, his strength is not much different from that of an adult, and his heart is also happy.
The door babbled open, and Mrs. Wu came out of the house, saw that Tang Zheng had cleaned the courtyard, and said with a smile: "You kid, you got up so early to do things." ”
Tang Zheng said with a smile: "I was saved by the second elder, this kindness is difficult to repay even if I am broken, what is this cleaning of the courtyard." Grandma, you rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to boil water. ”
"Oh, don't move, after you came, neither of us had anything to do, and you were done with everything. The old lady said helplessly: "I don't have a place to relax my old bones." ”
"Then I'll knock you on the back. Tang Zai came over with a smile, sat down with the old lady in his arms, and actually concentrated on knocking her back.
He learned this knocking technique from his father in his previous life, the movements were professional, the techniques were in place, and the weight was grasped very well, which made the old lady extremely comfortable.
Wu Laohan came out to see the situation, and couldn't help laughing: "This is really going to be enjoyable, you, you have become the old lady of the Wei family." ”
Mrs. Wu glanced at her husband without curiosity, and said with a smile: "I see, even the old ladies of the Wei family are not as comfortable as me, Xiao Zheng's technique is really good, knocking makes my whole body comfortable, and everyone seems to be a little younger." I married you until now, but I didn't expect that I would enjoy it once today, and I didn't come to this world in vain. ”
"Since grandma likes it, Xiao Zheng will knock it for you every day from now on. Tang Zai said with a smile.
"Okay!" Mrs. Wu had no words to agree.
Tang Zheng is a good person, living here these days, tidying up the house, and not getting paid, just three meals a day, just have a place to stay, really no one's servants are so cheap, how can the old lady not be happy.
In fact, sometimes it is really simple to please someone, you can speak, you can behave, you can do things, as long as you do things beautifully, naturally some people will be happy.
The old couple of the Wu family themselves are not seen in the world, and the virtual Muyang that Tang Zheng can coax, it is even easier to deal with this old couple, serving the two elders as if they were in heaven, plus they are old and lonely, their children are not around, and they are accompanied by Tang Zheng, and the more they look at Tang Zheng, the more they love Tang Zheng, and they treat it as their own children.
"In that case, you will stay here in the future, and you will not have to go anywhere. Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
"That's not good, grandma, boy, I still have to do things, I can't rely on your second elder to eat every day, right?" Tang Zai replied with a smile.
"You're still young, and you're not in a hurry. ”
"Don't look at my young age, my strength is not small, I can do the work of adults. Besides, the second elder saved my life and took me in, it is only natural for me to serve you, how can I eat and drink here for nothing again. ”
Wu Laohan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Mrs. Wu's eyes widened: "Old man, what are you talking about? Do you really want to let Xiao Zheng get out, we can't afford to raise a child?"
"Well, you can't say that. Wu Laohan waved his hand and said: "The children of the poor are in charge of the house early. If Tang Zheng hadn't suffered all the way, he might not be as clever as he is now, and I think it would be beneficial for him to let him go out and do things. If you don't want to go, you can not take his money, save it for him, and keep it for his daughter-in-law in the future. ”
Mrs. Wu thought about it, lowered her head and pondered: "That's good, but since it's what you mean, then this matter will fall on you, old man, you can find a better guy for Xiao Zheng to do." ”
"Me?" Wu Laohan was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Where can I find something for him to do? ”
Tang Zai's hand slowed down, and he lowered his head and replied: "Grandpa, I am poor, except for farming, but I don't know anything." ”
"Nothing?" Wu Laohan's face immediately fell: "This is a little difficult." Haven't you done anything before?"
"Yes, there were. Tang Zheng said: "There was a time when I worked as a child servant in a family of ours, and the people there still liked me and took good care of me. But here comes the horse thief......"
He didn't say any more, his voice already sobbing.
The old couple understood and sighed together.
Or Mrs. Wu said: "Oh, don't talk about these sad things." No wonder Xiaozai has cleaned up your home so well, and your relationship has also been with a big family. Yes, old man!"
Mrs. Wu suddenly shouted: "Why don't you ask Steward Qin, saying that you can't let Xiao Zheng enter the Wei Mansion to do things?"
Wu Laohan immediately frowned: "This ...... Not really, right?"
"What's so bad about it?" Mrs. Wu had already shouted: "You saved Steward Qin's life, didn't he almost freeze to death at the door of our house like Xiao Zheng that winter? Qin Yuan is now the chief steward of the Wei family, and it is not bad for us, you go and talk about it, I think this matter can be done!"
"But the Wei family doesn't accept people of unknown origin, even if Qin is in charge, he may not be the master. ”
"Why is the origin unknown?" Mrs. Wu glared and shouted: "Xiao Zheng is now from our family, he is ...... He is...... He is my stepson, is it possible that my Wu Yu Lotus is still of unknown origin? If it is not enough, just say that he is the illegitimate son of you stealing your life outside!"
When Wu Laohan heard this, he was ashamed: "What are you talking about? I'm fifty-six, where can I secretly give birth to a twelve-year-old child, what are you saying about it, let me behave in the neighborhood, it's really ...... What a ......."
Mrs. Wu pouted: "Xing'er is only seventeen this year, isn't it also your old man?"
"How can it be the same, I wasn't yet forty at that time, and I still have ...... And also...... There is still strength. Wu Laohan squeezed for a long time and squeezed out the word strength.
"Xiao Zheng is not much smaller than Xing'er. ”
"Nonsense!" Wu Laohan was angry and shook his hand again and again.
Tang Zai also laughed when he heard the old couple arguing, but the next moment he knelt in front of Mrs. Wu and shouted: "Tang Zao is willing to recognize the second elder as his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and ask the second elder to take him in, so that he will be filial to his son from now on!"
"It's still this kid who speaks cutely. Mrs. Wu smiled and picked up Tang Zheng: "Eh, good boy, since you are kneeling, then I will accept it politely, get up quickly." ”
Then looked at her husband: "What, you're still not happy? I think Xiao Zheng can be your righteous son, it's your blessing!"
"This ...... This ......" Wu Laohan shook his head, after all, he didn't care about his wife, and finally nodded: "Okay, okay, I promise." ”
Thinking that he was old and accepted his righteous son again, this thing was also interesting, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Then why don't you invite Steward Qin to come and sit at home?"
"I'll ask for it, but there's no hurry. Tang Zheng has not been in our house for a few days, so he has to stay for a few days first, so that the neighbors will know his origin and get acquainted with each other before please. Otherwise, Steward Qin asked me what was going on with this child, and we wouldn't be able to say, how would you let the family recommend it!"
In private, Wu Laohan also felt that he needed to take a second look, this person's character can't be seen in a day or two, and it always takes time to understand it slowly.
"That's right. Mrs. Wu muttered, looked at Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry, as long as the second elder doesn't dislike me for just eating and not working." ”
"Oh, how can you be suspicious, do you still have less work? Then it's decided, you, let's live here first, your godfather is here for everything, don't worry about anything." ”
"Yes, godmother!"
In this way, Tang Zheng officially settled in the Wu family.
Time flies, months pass in a blink of an eye, winter goes to spring, and it is a good time of the year.
It has been almost a year since I first met Xu Muyang.
In this year, Tang Zheng has obviously increased in size, the meridians have already been expanded, and even the blood veins are full of aura, that is, this Tibetan Elephant Sutra seems to have not been practiced yet, and it automatically goes towards the internal organs of the bones, making the whole person stronger and stronger, but the appearance is still just an ordinary teenager, and no one knows that this young man already has the strength to easily overturn three or five strong men.
At the same time, Tang Zheng also gradually became familiar with the nearby neighborhood, and everyone on Daliushu Street now knows that the Wu family saved a boy in distress last winter, and now he has been accepted as a righteous son. Although he is not very old, he is very flexible and well-behaved, and from time to time he will help his neighbors do something, and he is handsome, and he has attracted the admiration of some young girls in the neighborhood.
This year's Chinese New Year, Steward Qin came to the Wu family and brought some gifts, Tang Zheng was fortunate to see it, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked mature and stable.
Back then, this Qin steward almost froze to death in the Wu family, but fortunately, the second elder of the Wu family gave him a bowl of hot porridge to drink, which saved his life. Unexpectedly, a few years ago, he suddenly trembled, followed the master of the Wei family, and became the chief steward of the Wei family.
Wu Xing, the son of Wu Laohan, was entrusted with the blessing of the Qin steward, and entered the Wei Mansion a few years ago to do things, and later followed the eldest young master of the Wei family to the Moon Washing Academy as a servant. Wu Laohan suddenly had a son who cultivated immortals, and his status rose sharply. Although he has not yet returned from his studies, even if he is just a spiritual disciple, it is enough for Wu Laohan's family to not worry about eating and drinking, and no one dares to come to the door to cause trouble, so Steward Qin has become more and more diligent.
Today, Steward Qin came to visit Wu Laohan again, and Wu Laohan asked Tang Zai to prepare wine and meat for entertainment, and then served dinner together.
During the meal, Mrs. Wu repeatedly gave the old man a look, but the old man just buried his head in eating, and he just couldn't see it.
Seeing this, Steward Qin smiled and said, "The second elder must have something going on, right? We have been here for so many years, why are we still hiding." If I am told anything, as long as I can do it, I will not dare to say it. ”
Mrs. Wu glared at her husband angrily, and then said, "He's such a person, it's like this, it's easy not to ask for help." No, a few years ago, I asked you to help introduce things to Xing'er, and now I feel embarrassed. ”
"A little thing, not enough to worry about. Steward Qin smiled and said: "Brother Xing'er has not lived up to the two old people, and has become a companion, and I am still counting on relying on Brother Xing'er in the future." ”
"That's that, if he dares not take care of you, I'll skin him. Even if he becomes an immortal, he is also my son, and the meat that fell from my stomach!" Mrs. Wu said happily, and then grabbed Tang Zheng beside her and said: "You also know my family's Xiaojiao, who was picked up from the snow by our old couple a few days ago, speaking of which, it is as hard as you were back then." ”
"yes. As soon as he heard about the events of that year, Steward Qin's eyes were also red, and he also had some sympathy for this kid who had the same fate as him.
As soon as Mrs. Wu saw that there was a door, she hurriedly said: "But although this child's life is hard, he is very clever and strong. He used to be with a big family, but unfortunately the family suffered, so he fell so far. You see......"
"Do you want me to take him into the Wei Mansion?" Steward Qin had already understood what the old lady meant.
"Yes!" the old lady did not hide it anymore, and simply said, "Do you think it can be done?"
Steward Qin thought for a while and replied: "It stands to reason that it is not impossible, but the days he has been here are still short and he does not know enough, and there is no shortage of people in the Wei Mansion now." ”
The old lady's face immediately fell.
Steward Qin has already said again: "But this kid is smart and clever, I have seen it too, it seems that he made this meal today, right?"
"That is, Zhilu said that you are coming, Xiao Zheng has been busy all day. ”
Steward Qin smiled and looked at Tang Zheng: "You want to come to the Wei family, I can understand." But you should know that the door of the Wei family is not easy to enter. Tell me first, what do you want to do in the Wei family?"
After thinking about it, Tang Zai replied: "I want to enter the Wei Mansion, one is to earn some family money and subsidize the second elder, he and the second elder have saved me, I want to repay the favor." On the other hand, I envy Brother Wu Xing for being able to follow the eldest young master of the Wei family to the Moon Washing Academy, if I can, I hope to use my own efforts to ......"
Steward Qin nodded: "Very good, you didn't lie." ”
The world has never been fair.
There are only 1,500 places in the Moon Academy every year, and I don't know how many people want to squeeze in.
But for ordinary people, it is difficult to climb to the sky, and for those nobles, it is often just a simple and trivial matter, and some big families can even easily get multiple places, and these excess places are often used to give to their subordinates.
This is because each major sect has regulations that disciples are not allowed to bring servants when they enter the academy, so in order to ensure that their children are not wronged, those nobles of the family will often come up with a compromise method, such as sending the servants in as students, obviously as students, but in fact as servants, that is, companions.
Of course, it's not just about serving, the servants get the opportunity to cultivate immortals because of the family, and they must be grateful to the family, and even if they have achievements in the future, they will often continue to serve the family.
Most of the more than ten immortal cultivators raised by the Jin family came in this way, and the loyalty of these people is higher than that of external hires, so it can be said that they are prosperous and prosperous with the family.
Because of its high economic status, Lingzhou has a lot of dedication to the Moon Washing Sect, so it can get one hundred and twenty places from the Moon Washing Academy every year, and forty of these one hundred and twenty places are in Canglong Mansion.
These forty places are usually divided by the five major families first, and the rest is for those outsiders to grab.
The Wei family can have one quota per year, and then accumulate it by replacing each other, in this way they can get more than one quota at a time, usually choosing a descendant and bringing two or three servants.
Therefore, being able to become a servant of a big family can be said to have a chance to ascend to the sky in one step.
This is also the reason why Tang Zheng has to go to great lengths to enter the Wei family.
Now the eldest young master of the Wei family has successfully enrolled, but it is said that he has not entered the realm well, and the chance of entering the realm of detachment is not great, that is, he will not be able to complete his studies, and he will only be a spiritual disciple for the rest of his life.
Although the spirit disciple is also a cultivator and can use magic techniques, he is still a mortal body after all, with a limited lifespan and limited ability.
If the Wei family wants to protect the long-term family, they must have their own true immortal cultivators, at least they must be a spirit master, so the hope is placed on the little young master, even if he can't do it, his companion can be successful, it is also good, and it can be regarded as half of his own family. Generally speaking, for such people, the major families tend to use marriage methods.
Because of this, don't look at the low status of the servant, once you become a companion, the family is also good to it, in order to win people's hearts.
The little young master Wei Tianchong is eleven years old this year, and he will be able to enter school in a few years.
This is Tang Zheng's chance to enter the Moon Washing Academy, and it is also the only chance!
But this is no secret, and many people know it.
Because of this reason, it has never been difficult for a big family to recruit servants, especially those who are at the age of Tang Zheng, who can enter the academy, and every year I don't know how many people want to enter with money in their relationships, and there are extreme ones who are willing to do even if they don't pay them, and what they ask for is an opportunity.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to enter the Wei family itself, in addition to being innocent, you must also have a relationship. And the purpose of everyone's entry into the Wei family is not a secret, Tang Zheng does not need to hide it, let alone hide it.
As for whether he can stand out and be selected as an attendant after entering, it depends on Tang Zheng himself.
For Tang Zheng, it was not easy to stand out from the many candidates, but it was much easier than killing them from 100,000 people.
Speaking of which, he is also an adult in terms of knowledge, if he can't even compete with a group of little kids, then this immortal doesn't cultivate.
Hearing Tang Zheng's answer at this moment, Steward Qin nodded with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, I keep this matter in mind." Now there is no shortage of people in the Wei Mansion for the time being, you wait first, and when the opportunity comes, I will recommend you, as for whether it can be successful, it depends on your own performance. ”
"Thank you, Great Butler Qin!" Tang Zheng bowed excitedly.
With Qin Yuan's recommendation, he had a chance to get started.
For Tang Zheng, there is still a long way to go, but no matter what, there is a glimmer of light at dawn.
—————————
PS: Because there is a manuscript, I basically keep updating the first chapter at around 8 o'clock every day, and updating the second chapter at about 10 o'clock. If you don't save the manuscript, it's basically noon. So whether fate has a manuscript or not, you can basically know the way of the update by looking at the update time, ha, ha.
But this time, the manuscript may not be better than no as soon as possible, because this time it is two more per day, everyone knows that when I write endlessly, most of the time is one more, occasionally two or more more, on average, it is actually less than two more a day.
For me, it's a challenge of speed and something I need to work on. At present, he is constantly pushing himself and squeezing himself. So say hello first, I can't guarantee how long the two will last, maybe the writing days, I see that there are not many manuscripts in storage, I will slow down a little, and then put it when I arrive enough.
Of course, when the double shift becomes a single shift, I will say hello, and I still maintain the rhythm of the double shift, and I hope to keep it all the time.
