Chapter Twenty-Seven: A New Opponent

Ji Ziqian stood at the foot of the hall and bowed to Wei Zheng Shufeng: "Ziqian has seen my aunt!"

Wei Zheng Shufeng sat on the top and looked at Ji Ziqian, seeing that this young man had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, knew books and understood etiquette, and was also satisfied, and asked softly: "How old is it?"

"Thirteen years old, the same year as Chong'er, two months older than Chong'er, why did my sister-in-law forget it?" The answer was a woman sitting next to Wei Zheng Shufeng, who was also dressed in graceful and luxurious clothes, but it was worse than Wei Zheng Shufeng.

Her name is Wei Lanxin, and she is a younger sister of Wei Danbai who married out.

Wei Zheng Shufeng patted his forehead: "Oh, I'm old now, and my memory is not good." Ziqian hasn't been to our house for a long time, has he?"

"Two years and four months. Ji Ziqian replied.

"Yo, I remember the days so clearly. The wife laughed.

"Being able to enter the Wei family is something that Ziqian has always longed for, but it is far away and it is inconvenient to come and go, but once in a while, I will naturally remember it. ”

"What a talking kid. Mrs. nodded with satisfaction, and turned her head to look at Wei Lanxin: "I think this kid is good." ”

"You also think it's good, then there is a door for this matter?" Wei Lan smiled with a smile.

Wei Zheng Shufeng was not in a hurry, but said leisurely: "But Ziqian is also a child of your Ji family, will it be too wronged to be a servant for us to teach Chong'er?"

"No, no!" Wei Lanxin was already waving his hand and said: "Ziqian can enter the Wei family, that is his blessing, and he can't ask for it." We don't ask for anything else, but everything we need will be paid by my family, as long as there is a quota. ”

"How's that? Hearing this, Mrs. was not happy, but frowned and said: "Since it is a servant's school, the cost should naturally be paid by the Wei family, how can there be a reason to ask your family to pay for it." ”

Ji Ziqian hurriedly said: "If you can be brought into the academy by your aunt, Ziqian will be grateful to Dade and will repay him." ”

That's a big deal. Mrs. smiled and said, "It's all my own family, where can I get anything to repay myself." Sit down, sit down, don't be so polite, I'll take you to see the old lady in a while, this kind of thing, you have to nod his old man to make it......"

————————————

"So, Mrs. has already agreed?" Tang Zai asked in a deep voice standing in the flower garden.

"I wasn't there at the time, I heard Rouge tell me about this, so I don't know the specifics, so I know that Lu Dao didn't agree directly, but just pushed it to the old lady, but it seems that it is going to be done. Shiyue whispered.

"That's weird. Tang Zheng was puzzled: "Isn't this matter directly determined by the wife?

"I don't know where I know. ”

Tang Zheng thought for a long time and couldn't find the reason, so he could only say to himself: "I think there is a problem here." ”

"What else are you thinking? I said that the quota is about to be snatched up, so you are not in a hurry?" Shi Yue looked at his calm appearance and was very curious.

Tang Zheng replied indifferently: "If you want to be in a hurry, it should be the dream of serving the ink and serving them to be in a hurry first, and suddenly there is only one of the two places left, and the impact on them should be very big, right?"

Shi Yue covered her mouth and laughed: "Shi Mo is very honest during this time, and he may still feel that he has a lot of hope, but now if he wants to know the news, I'm afraid I have to cry." But anyway, there is only one spot left, and the hopes of you and the dream are also reduced, so you should be careful!"

"By the way, I haven't thanked you for telling me this. "Tang Zheng has taken out some money and put it in the palm of Shi Yue's hand.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yue's little hand was closed, but she glared at him: "You are like a rouge, do you help you for money?"

As he spoke, his face turned red, and he turned to leave.

Tang Zheng looked at Shi Yue's back, and couldn't help but smile, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Only the next moment, his face was already covered with dark clouds.

He muttered to himself: "Ji Ziqian ......"

He had heard about the Ji family.

The Ji family is a family in Yongkang City, Lingzhou, and it can be regarded as a deep-rooted old family in Yongkang, with a longer history than the Wei family, and is mainly engaged in silk trading.

However, in the past ten years, the Ji family's silk business has deteriorated and has begun to gradually decline.

Yongkang's status in Lingzhou was not obvious, and the Ji family was gradually declining, so it was extremely difficult to get a place in the academy.

In this case, it is understandable that Ji Weilan is asking for a chance for her son as a servant.

However, his arrival became bad news for all the servants who hoped to become servants!

What's more, if there is a Ji Ziqian who suddenly snatches the place today, will there be another Li Ziqian and Zhang Ziqian tomorrow?

There are only two places in the servant school, as long as there is one more, Tang Zheng will be completely useless!

Poor in the downtown no one asks, rich deep in the mountains have distant relatives.

The Wei family has a big business, and it is not unusual to say that one or more places will emerge in a few days.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Zheng felt that his head was as big as a fight.

He didn't know how much effort he put into entering the Moon Washing Academy, could it be that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get enough of having a backstage at home?

Thinking of the relationship between the Ji family and the Wei family, Tang Zheng also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

No!

Tang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

The wife had not yet agreed immediately.

Since she pushed the matter to the old lady, it means that the wife actually does not welcome this matter, although I don't know what this is for, but the affairs of the Ji family are obviously not as smooth as they seem on the surface.

Then maybe you still have a chance!

—————————

After doing a good job in the afternoon, Tang Zheng did not go back to rest, but went to see the Qin Grand Steward first.

After talking for a long time, I took the time to go to my wife's Yichang Garden.

At this time, it was the time for Mrs. to take a nap, Rouge had nothing to do, just waiting outside the house, and saw Tang Zheng coming over from a distance and gave him a look.

Rouge smiled secretly in his heart, walked over and said, "Oh, why are you free to come over today?"

Tang Zai replied: "The new floral master is tired of seeing it, and he wants me to get some new tricks." But my sister knew that my brother had so many tricks? It's not that I was worried that I couldn't help it, so I thought that my sister was good at embroidery, so I came over with a thick face to ask Sister Rouge for embroidery as a foundation. ”

Rouge slapped Tang Zai: "The embroidery of your daughter's family is also what you want? This is going to get out, how else can I be a person with Rouge......?"

She blushed, but she didn't say any more, Tang Zheng had already laughed and said: "Yes, I was abrupt, I didn't expect this, since that's the case, forget it." ”

said that he was leaving, but Tang Zheng didn't move, but just said: "By the way, Sister Rouge, I heard that there are distinguished guests in the house again?"

Rouge glanced at Tang Zheng playfully, and snorted: "Yo, the news spread really fast, and it was the dead slut of Shiyue who told you, right?" It seems that the embroidery is fake, and this news is true." ”

Tang Zai grinned and said, "Why do you need to find out any news, but just confirm it." The Ji family and the Wei family are also in-laws, so this matter of servant learning is naturally a certainty. ”

"Not necessarily. Rouge snorted: "Mrs. didn't agree directly, only pushed the old lady to decide, but the old lady said, I have to ask the master again about this matter, the old man didn't come back outside, only let people reply and say, the matter of servant learning is not in a hurry to settle down for the time being, let the young master live in the Wei Mansion for a few days, and then talk about it with the young master first." ”

"This is to shirk each other, but for what?" Tang asked hurriedly.

Rouge snorted and ignored him.

Tang Zai had already taken out some money and stuffed it into Rouge's hand, Rouge accepted it with a smile, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he leaned into Tang Zao's ear and whispered: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for." My aunt came back this time and brought a lot of gifts, and I said before that as long as Wei Fu is willing to give the Ji family a place, all the expenses can be paid by the Ji family themselves. Unexpectedly, the wife did not appreciate it, and only took them to see the old lady, and when she came back, she lost her temper and said, 'Does my Wei family lack this money? Need them to pay for it?' I don't know what kind of temper she has. ”

The cost of the academy is expensive, even if the Wei family has to provide support for these immortal cultivators every year, it is a huge expense. The Ji family pays for their own tuition, which is a good thing, why is the wife still dissatisfied? This makes Rouge unable to figure it out.

"So that's ......" Tang Zheng nodded, laughed, and finally solved the doubts in his heart: "I said that this thing should have been able to be done immediately, why hasn't it been implemented yet, and the emotional problem is here." ”

Rouge was puzzled when he heard this, and stabbed Tang Zheng: "Hey, what are you talking about?

Tang Zheng replied: "The reason why the family is willing to choose servants to enroll with the young master is not only because they want to serve the young master, but also because they have to serve the young master, there is another important reason, that is, to cultivate their own immortal master, in order to obtain a truly trustworthy immortal master, it is worth throwing down any amount of silver." Although the Ji family and the Wei family are in-laws, Ji Ziqian is not a member of the Wei family after all. If you are not from your own family, you can also enter your own door. But my aunt and grandmother just said that all the expenses would be paid by the Ji family themselves, which clearly showed that they wanted to use this as capital to reduce their borrowing from the Wei family, that is to say, Ji Ziqian would still serve the Ji family in the future!"

Speaking of this, Tang Zai sneered: "For poor families, the tuition fee may be a big barrier to entry, but for large families, that quota is really valuable." Do you know that the quota released every year is something that money can't buy, and if some are released, it can be sold for tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is a thousand times the tuition fee itself, and the most popular place in the auction is always the quota of the Moon Washing Academy! And the Ji family didn't give anything in return, so they insisted on taking a quota from the Wei family, which made the wife not angry? The Wei family said that it was a quota every year, but there were hundreds of people staring at this quota every year. The Wei family spends a lot of money every year for this place, and others have to get the extra places from the Wei family, and they also have to spend a lot of money to buy, and the Wei family balances the income and expenditure through the entry and exit quotas, so as to provide their children to continue to go to school, otherwise just relying on their own business, no matter how big the Wei family is, they can't stand the bottomless pit of millions of silver. Therefore, the entry and exit of this quota has long become a business, and his Ji family is probably the lowest bidder among all those who want it!"

Speaking of this, Tang Zai snorted: "No wonder the Ji family is going to be depressed and cold, so short-sighted, not even willing to give the least pay, how can you get a long-term return? Of course, it may also be that you can do this because of the close relationship, but it's a pity that this aunt obviously overestimated her price, even the old lady would not agree to throw away tens of thousands of yuan for a married daughter." ”

What he said casually, but it was meaningful, and Rouge was already stunned.

She is a maid who serves her wife, her vision is very limited, although she knows that the spiritual master of the Dao is noble, but she has never had a specific concept, she only thinks that the tuition fee of a few hundred taels of silver per year is sky-high, and she knows that the quota of the Dao itself is the most valuable.

She is a maid, and getting a tael of silver can make her excited for several days, and now these tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of silver are smashed down, and she is immediately dizzy.

At this moment, I listened to the last few words of Tang Zheng, and finally understood why Lu wanted to be so good to Tang Zheng.

The dead girl knows all this better than her, so she chose one early...... She's investing in the future!

Unlike Shi Mo, Shi Mo was still pinning his hopes on the little young master, but Rouge and Shi Yue knew that his chances were slim, and Rouge alienated him because of this, but he didn't directly ignore it for the face of the money, but he didn't expect Shi Yue to go further and directly start to hook up with Tang Zheng.

Thinking about this, Rouge secretly hated himself for being blind and thought he was smart, but he was confused by some petty profits, but the servant looked at Wen Jing on weekdays, but secretly he had already exhausted all means.

As soon as he figured out this truth, Rouge's expression also changed, and he smiled at Tang Zai: "So that's the case, or are you clever, and you figured out the key to this at once, it seems that they can't do it." ”

She actually slapped Tang Zheng's ass in reverse.

"That's not necessarily!" Tang Zheng said: "No matter what, the two families are in-laws, as long as the aunt and grandmother are willing to let go, the old lady and the old man may not be able to save this face." I see, the Ji family is used to doing business, and they are playing the drama of asking for a price and paying back the money on the ground. But sooner or later, my aunt and grandmother will still agree to some conditions, and at that time, Ji Ziqian's enrollment will really become an unchangeable fact. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zai looked at Rouge and said with a smile: "Sister Rouge, although I haven't been in the house for a long time, I have been taken care of by my sister these days and helped me many times, and I am grateful in my heart. But now it seems that there is little hope. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head appropriately and sighed: "It's a pity that Ji Ziqian is the young master of the Ji family after all, no matter how he soars in the future, he has nothing to do with his sister." ”

Rouge was distraught to listen.

Think about it, Ji Ziqian is different from Tang Zheng, he was born in a family, and he has countless servants, so there is really no need to please his subordinates. Even if Rouge wants to hug Ji Ziqian's thighs now, most of the time he has no chance.

Thinking of this, Rouge hurriedly said, "Isn't there still a place?"

Tang Zheng said seriously: "There are still two years before the young master enters school, how can Sister Rouge be sure that no one else will come during this time?

Rouge is completely discolored.

The hope that had just been set off in her heart was poured down by Tang Zheng with a basin of cold water, and her mood can be imagined.

Looking at Rouge's appearance, Tang Zheng knew that the fire was almost over, so he muttered again: "But it's not that there is no way to ......."
