After recuperating for about ten days, Tang Zheng finally "recovered", and the bottle of elixir was completely exhausted - this kind of thing of greedy ink was originally from a young age to a big one, Tang Zheng was tired of being greedy for worthless objects such as wire shelves, and he was very happy that his level of greed for ink could be further improved.

The wife here got the news of Tang Zheng's recovery, so she asked Shiyue to bring Tang Zheng to see her.

What is different from the past is that this time there are not only his wife, but also the Wei family's head Wei Danbai, and the spirit master Lu Chenyang who rescued Wei Tianchong when he fell off the cliff.

Wei Danbai is the kind of person who knows at a glance that Lu Dao is rigid and serious, and it is not easy to get along with, and there is almost no smile on the square face of the Chinese character, and some are just serious, silent and serious, which is very suitable for making a large portrait to hang on the city gate tower.

"Tang Zheng has seen the master, the wife, and the Lu Immortal Master!" At this moment, when he entered the house, Tang Zheng gave the three of them a salute first.

"Sit down. Wei Zheng Shufeng said to Tang Zheng with a smile, she had a good impression of Tang Zheng, so she spoke the most kindly.

"The old lady is here, and the little ones dare not sit. ”

"You're just recovering from your new injuries, so you're welcome. As the wife spoke, she asked her subordinates to move a stool for Tang Zai, and Tang Zai sat down.

Seeing Tang Zheng sit down, his wife said: "Last time, I wronged you, you did a good job, but Chong'er is ignorant, this time I called you to come to reward you for your merits." ”

As he spoke, Rouge had already taken out a plate with ten silver ingots in it.

Tang Zheng knew that this silver ingot was ten taels of silver, and the reward of one hundred taels of silver was really not light.

Tang Zheng wanted to be polite, but Wei Danbai had already said, "If you are rewarded, don't refuse." The rules of the guard, if you have merit, you should be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, this is what you deserve. ”

Hey, it doesn't need to be said that such a simple truth seems to be understood by your family in the whole world, right?

Tang Zheng sighed while complaining in his heart.

He knew that this was Wei Danbai's desire to divide things clearly, and obviously he didn't plan to involve anything more in this matter, let alone owe Tang Zheng a favor. If he didn't accept it, he was afraid that Wei Danbai would think that he wanted more, but it was not good, so he had to accept it.

But that's okay, with this one hundred taels of silver, I can buy some good medicines for the second elder to regulate my body.

At this time, the wife continued: "I have already found out the situation, it is Shimo's idea to go out to drink, and it is also Shimo's proposal to go up the mountain at night, and even whipping you is Shimo's suggestion." This little bastard, instead of urging the little master to study hard, is making waves every day, and it is really not like words, for the sake of the nurse's face, I will not drive him out of the house, but he can't stay by the young master's side. ”

Speaking of this, the wife took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and continued: "Since Shi Mo is not here, he always has to find someone to replace him, and I plan to let you replace Shi Mo. ”

Tang Zheng peeked at Wei Danbai, only to see that his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he didn't like this decision very much, and he was afraid that this matter was still his wife's own decision.

Wei Zheng Shufeng is a very strong and shrewd woman, who is loved by the old lady in the mansion and has a lot of prestige outside the mansion. She was originally from a family, and although the Zheng family is not as prominent as the Wei family, it is also an old family. Wei Zheng Shufeng knows books and understands etiquette, and after marrying into the Wei family, he is even more virtuous, which makes the Wei family more and more prosperous.

This point can be understood by looking at the fact that she can easily command the spiritual masters in the family, the living treatment of these spiritual masters is directly responsible for Wei Zheng Shufeng, and she, the head of the main family, actually invisibly controls the most important power of the family. Those spirit masters listened to her words, but they were afraid that they would listen to Wei Danbai more.

It's no wonder that when it comes to being a man, Wei Zheng Shufeng is indeed much stronger than Wei Danbai.

Tang Zai asked himself if he had to choose between the master and the wife, he would be more willing to serve the wife.

But after Wei Zheng Shufeng said this, Tang Zheng thought for a while and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid that the little one is not suitable to replace Shi Mo for the time being, and please think twice." ”

Wei Zheng Shufeng didn't expect him to refuse, even Wei Dan Bai Lu Lingshi and Steward Qin Rouge and the others on the side were all startled and looked at Tang Zheng together.

"You don't want to?" asked Wei Zheng Shufeng.

Tang hurriedly replied: "It's not that I don't want to, but I killed the young master's horse, and the young master is only afraid that he will have some resentment towards me, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill the responsibility of accompanying the reader." The young master's study is a big deal, if the young master's studies are delayed because of this kind of thing, it is difficult for the little one to escape the guilt. If you can't do something, don't do it. ”

Wei Danbai and his wife were obviously stunned.

"There are some things, don't do them if you can't do them......" Wei Zheng Shufeng chewed on what Tang Zheng said: "Well said!"

She suddenly chuckled and looked at her husband: "Master, do you still think I'm looking at the wrong person?"

Wei Danbai didn't answer, but it was Lu Shi who said with a smile: "Mrs. has always had a very powerful vision, this kid is not deep-minded, but precocious, and does something and doesn't, knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to make trade-offs, very good, very good!"

There was Lu Lingshi in the round, Wei Danbai said: "But what he said is also right, Chong'er is not sensible, I am afraid that there is still some mustard for Tang Zheng in this matter, and the current situation is not suitable for him to accompany him for the time being." Although Shimo is at fault, he is also dedicated to serving Chong'er, so let's give him another chance. ”

"You have a lot of scruples!" Wei Zheng Shufeng glanced at her husband: "Since this is the case, then give Shi Mo another chance, but if he dares to make a mistake again, he will not be spared." ”

Then he turned to Tang Zheng: "You have just recovered from your new injury, and your body bones are not yet strong, go home and rest for a day before you come." ”

And so it went.

When sending Tang Zheng out of the mansion, Steward Qin couldn't help but complain anymore: "Oh, you kid, what can I say about you? Young Master's companion, this is something that no number of people can ask for, but you just gave up like this, it's really ......"

Tang Zai smiled: "Aren't I afraid of delaying the young master's studies?"

"You don't have to give me this set. Steward Qin snorted: "Say, do you have any other ideas?"

For Qin Steward, Tang Zheng still trusts him.

After thinking about it for a moment, Tang Zheng replied: "I don't do companion reading, and there are indeed some other reasons that can't be spoken. You know that accompanying the young master to study has always been the most thankless thing. If you urge, the young master will annoy you. If you don't guide, your wife will not like you. ”

Steward Qin nodded again and again when he heard this, although everyone was blushing in this position, it was not so easy to do, and if he wanted to be satisfied with both sides, he didn't know how much effort it would take.

Tang Zai asked himself that he could still do it, but it would take too much time and energy.

He is now studying the formation path every day, and he has gained a lot, so there is really no need to do this thankless companion.

Tang Zheng had already continued: "In a few days, it will be time for the young master to assess, judging from the young master's current situation, Uncle Qin, do you think he can do it?"

Steward Qin thought for a while and sighed: "He, if he can write a complete article, he is already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue!"

"So, if I go to be a companion now, won't I be a substitute for Mo?"

Steward Qin laughed: "I'll just say that you must have a ghost eye! That's right, it's really not a good time to go to read with you now." But if you want to go to the Moon Washing Academy, you always have to do it. ”

"Not necessarily. Tang Zheng replied leisurely: "It seems that there is no rule that the family must be a personal servant to become a servant, right?"

Being a personal servant is like being a secretary to a leader.

Being a secretary is easy to get promoted, but who says you can only be promoted if you are a secretary?

has made a world in horticulture, just like a powerful cadre with political achievements, the road to promotion is already in sight, why bother to drill into the position of the secretary?

If you really go to that position and don't make any achievements, you will erase your past contributions.

It was precisely because of this truth that Tang Zheng was not interested in companion reading at all.

Steward Qin pouted: "This is also true, but the personal servant is closer to the young master after all, and the young master's meaning is directly related to your future, and it is always good to be close." ”

Tang Zheng replied meaningfully: "In the matter of servant learning, the intention of the little young master is indeed very important, but it is not the little young master who really has the right to decide, but the wife! As long as the wife supports it, then even if you are a toilet brusher, you can become a servant student! So I don't worry about the problem of whether you can fight or not, sometimes, not fighting is the best fight!"

Steward Qin didn't expect Tang Zheng to say these words at all, and he was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Perhaps because of the relationship between being a servant of the little young master, for a long time, many people have regarded attracting the attention of the little master as the top priority, but they have ignored the things behind it.

But Tang Zheng will not.

People who have been in officialdom know a truth very clearly, that is, you have to see clearly who is the one who really makes the decision!

Only by following the real ruler can life have a future.

It's a pity that it's such a simple thing, but many people don't understand it.

In the matter of the young master's enrollment, the little master's intention is very important, but it is the wife who really counts, and even Wei Danbai has to listen to his wife's opinion!

Losing his wife's trust, even if Shimo stays in the position of a companion, it's just an ornament!

Now she can tolerate Shi Mo, that is because Wei Tianchong is still in the Wei family, and she is in charge, and Shi Mo can't make any big tricks, so he will sell the old man in the house to save face.

In the future, when I go to Beijing, the emperor is far away, and many things will have to be faced alone, and it is impossible for the wife to hand over her son to a servant who she is not at ease with, and in this kind of major event, no one's face is useless!

Therefore, losing his wife's trust, Shimo has basically lost his qualification to serve as a student.

It's a pity that he still hasn't understood this himself, and he is still fighting for the position of companion, trying to keep hope by settling with the young master, but he doesn't know that it will only make his wife even more annoying.

On this issue, not to mention those kids, even Steward Qin didn't realize it, and it wasn't until he was reminded by Tang Zheng at this moment that he suddenly realized, and his eyes were different when he looked at Tang Zheng.

Qin Yuan shook his head and sighed: "After all, I still underestimate you." ”

Tang Zheng had already leaned over and replied: "No matter what happens to Tang Zheng in the future, I will never forget the kindness of the second elder and Steward Qin!"

Scheming doesn't mean it's necessarily ruthless.

Although Tang Zheng deceived and used the second elder of the Wu family and the Qin steward, he was truly grateful to the second elder and the Qin steward for taking care of him, so these words were sincere and sincere, and the Qin steward was also very happy to hear it.

In the days that followed, life was back on track.

Tang Zheng still did his own work in the garden every day, cultivating the formation path by the way.

After a period of time, his formation level has risen greatly, but it is mainly reflected in the maze phantom formation. However, because his spiritual eyes were not opened, and his aura was insufficient when he set up the formation, Tang Zheng worked the connection of the formation patterns, and gradually came to the point where he also had some unique style, but he couldn't see the specific direction of the future yet.

In addition, Tang Zheng has an extra habit, which is to run every morning.

Running from Weifu to Yinglong Mountain, looking for a piece of no-man's land, doing weightlifting and squats and other training, at the same time, the body is hidden in the body through the operation of the heart, exhaling the aura, and when the heart is completed, then return to the Weifu to start the day's work.

Occasionally, when he saw other servants doing some heavy physical labor, he would also take the initiative to help, taking the opportunity to help others, and continued to practice his Tibetan Elephant Sutra, and also won the praise of many subordinates, which made his popularity in Weifu better and better.

Day by day, Tang Zheng's body grew taller, and he became stronger and more powerful, and he had muscles on his body, which were not as exaggerated and amazing as those bodybuilders, but only gave people a sunny and healthy image.

The young master often comes to see his work when he has something to do, but usually just looks at him from a distance and leaves, and doesn't say anything.

This puts the relationship between the two in a very delicate state, and no one can tell what the situation is.

As for the ink and the dream, he was obviously much more honest after the stabbing horse, and he didn't dare to make any trouble, and the Meditation Garden ushered in a rare period of peace.

The only bad thing is probably that after the stabbing horse, Tang Zheng has an additional nickname, called "Tang Tribulation of Thorn Horse".

This is the second name after he first entered the Wei Mansion, following "the Tang Tribulation who took three monthly money".

To be honest, Tang Zheng didn't like it very much, because it was tantamount to reminding Wei Tianchong every day that Tang Zheng killed his horse, which would make him uncomfortable.

Tang Zheng knew that this was their calculation, but in this matter, he couldn't help it.

No, it's not impossible.

Since you can't wash away your own problems, let's expect the other party to be worse.

Wei Tianchong's assessment soon ushered in.

The result of the exam was that he was unexpectedly criticized by the chair with eight big words: "If you don't learn and don't have skills, you will laugh and be generous!"

When the wife looked at this evaluation, and then looked at Wei Tianchong's nonsense article, in addition to beating her son, her perception of Shi Mo was also so low that she couldn't be lower, but poor Shi Mo himself didn't know what to do, and he still tried his best to please the young master every day.

The days passed peacefully, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, Tang Zheng is still serving those flowers and plants in his flower garden, and now he is familiar with every grass and tree here, and he is easy to come by, and it is interesting and self-reliant.

At this moment, Tang Zheng saw Shiyue appear in the distance.

"Sister Shiyue, why do you have time to come to the Meditation Garden today?" Tang Zai asked with a smile.

Shi Yue had a solemn face, and came straight to Tang Zheng's side and whispered a few words to him.

"What did you say?" Tang Zheng's face changed suddenly.
