Chapter 20 Young Master of the Wei Family
That night, Steward Qin came to say goodbye, and when he learned that Tang Zheng was selected, the second elder of Xi didn't sleep well all night.
The next morning, someone from the Wei Mansion took Tang Zheng away.
Tang Zheng didn't see his wife again, only an old man surnamed Niu came and took Tang Zheng to the house.
Passing through the quiet water pavilion, walking through the tree-lined path, bypassing the Xiongqi rockery, stepping on the rosewood bridge, the two came to the Jingxin Garden, and saw the red and willow green flower beds in front of them.
Old Man Niu instructed Tang Zheng how to maintain these flowers and plants and how to prune. Tang Zheng brought a small notebook, and wrote down these points one after another while listening, and the old man was quite satisfied when he saw this.
Most of the young servants who come to the Wei family to work are going to learn from the servants, so they often have no intention of doing the right thing, and they don't pay attention to the things they should do well.
Seeing that Tang Zheng was so focused, at least he could tell what was his own job and what was an extra pursuit, which made the old man have a good impression of him.
After talking about the basic way of maintenance, Mr. Niu said: "It is not difficult to maintain flowers and plants, as long as you follow the rules, the key is to be attentive." Now that you're new to the city, you can ask me if you don't know anything, and I'll live in the hut next door. But if you still bother me every day after a month, then I don't care. ”
"Yes, the little one understands. Tang Zheng replied respectfully.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and talked about the situation in the Meditation Garden for Tang Zheng.
If you're going to do things here, you can't even figure out who is here.
There are actually not many people in the Meditation Garden, in addition to the little young master Wei Tianchong, there are six small houses, two nurses and an old mother. The nursing homes are all adult martial artists, and they generally do not appear in the meditation garden, so they can not be considered, let alone the old mother.
Among the six servants, the highest status is Wen Qing, who is the head of the servants of the Meditation Garden, mainly responsible for arranging the daily activities of the young master and supervising personnel and goods. He is also the oldest, he is sixteen this year, and he has no hope of learning, so he is the least threatening.
Then there are Shimo and Shimeng, both of whose names were given by his wife herself. Those who give names are generally sold servants, and those like Tang Zheng belong to helpers, not to sell themselves, so there is no need to give names.
The biggest advantage of selling one's body compared to non-selling one's body is that selling one's body can directly become a personal servant, such as the status of a personal servant of Shimo Shimeng.
The ink is a companion reader, responsible for accompanying the young master to read, and serving the pen and ink. Shi Meng is mainly responsible for taking care of the young master's room, making the mattress, and serving tea and water.
They are also the people closest to the little young master, and they can be said to be the most powerful contenders for servant learning.
In fact, no matter which big family, most of the servant schools came out of these two positions, and Wu Xing was Wei Tianzhi's companion at the beginning, but he read it instead of the original companion, so there was no need to give a name.
In addition to these two people, there are three small servants who are responsible for the chores outside the house, running errands and listening to them at any time, plus Tang Zheng, who is in charge of the flower garden, exactly four, a total of seven people.
As for the food, clothes, and the like, they are all in charge of the subordinates of the big house, so that they don't have to worry about the young servants. So the work of these young servants is actually very easy, anyway, they just revolve around the little young master, and they do whatever he says.
But in fact, except for Shimo and Shimeng, the other little guys are not easy to approach the little young master.
Seeing that the little young master was about to study, his intention directly determined who might become a servant in the future, so Shimo and Shimeng had always looked at it very closely, and almost didn't give other young people a chance to perform. Even if they want to make contact, these two people will not leave the little master.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old children of other families may still be in the stage of being naughty and ignorant, but the young servants of the big family have already begun to work hard for their future.
At this moment, while he was talking, a group of 'centaurs' suddenly rushed out from the opposite side, led by a slightly fat half-sized man, wearing a flame general armor, holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and riding a person under the straddle, followed by four small servants, all dressed in military uniforms, and holding a pointed wooden spear in his hand, and rushed over with a shout.
Tang Zheng was shocked by this military appearance, and the old man Niu next to him had already bowed down and said, "Little young master!"
Tang Zheng understood that this was the main master, and he hurriedly bowed his head to say hello, peeking at the flame general armor on the little young master's body, and wondering how he could wear this heavy armor.
Just when a gust of wind blew, the general's armor fluttered a few times, his feelings were papery, and he laughed secretly in his heart.
This is the little fat man has arrived in front of the two of them, straddled the neck of the little guy, shouted, the team stopped, the little fat man said to the old man Niu: "Old Niu, why are you here?"
The old man replied with a smile: "The new flower in the house, Mrs. asked me to bring him to get acquainted." ”
A thin-eyed guy next to him immediately leaned into the little fat man's ear and whispered a few words, and the little fat man glanced at Tang Zheng: "You are the one who received my family's three times of money?"
Tang Zheng lowered his head and replied: "Yes, little young master, Tang Zheng greets the little young master." ”
The little fat man snorted: "It doesn't look very good." ”
The little guys next to him were already laughing together, and the young man didn't know how to hide it, and the meaning of schadenfreude was undoubtedly obvious.
These servants were already not in harmony with each other for the position of servants, and finally a newcomer came to take three times a month from the Wei Mansion, which was more than all of them, which made people more and more unaccustomed to it, so they immediately ridiculed it when they had the opportunity.
Tang Zheng was not ashamed, but said lightly: "The little one is not very good. However, Mrs. Montene is very loving, and she will do her duty with all her might. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone's laughter immediately druffled back.
People are picked by their wives, and if they laugh again, they will become laughing and their wives have no eyes.
The little guys may have something to ignore, but they don't include this.
Even the little master didn't dare to say that his mother was wrong, looked at Tang Zheng, and snorted: "Let's go!"
stepped on the 'war horse' again, and left like this.
Seeing a group of people leaving, Tang Zai was slightly surprised, and asked the old man Niu next to him: "Why is this little young master dressed like this?"
Old Man Niu sighed: "The little young master is not very interested in cultivating immortals, he wants to become a horse general, he doesn't want to cultivate immortals, and he plays horseback at home every day when he has nothing to do, and the old lady is very worried about this......."
Tang Zheng smiled: "I see. But it's no wonder that cultivating immortals pays attention to the pursuit of the way of heaven, and outside of things, where can it compare to the prosperity of the world. ”
"But life is short, and a hundred years are in a hurry. ”
"If you have to be pure in heart and have few desires for eternal life, then what is the difference between it and grass and trees and stubborn stones, but it is better than a wonderful life. ”
Old Man Niu looked at Tang Zheng in surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about the problem from his point of view." For children, aging and death are still too far away, and a rich and wonderful life is the pursuit. The reason why he wants to be a general is not necessarily the position of a general, but the prestige of a general. In fact, there are many wonderful things in the world of cultivating immortals, but he was probably frightened by the appearance of the spiritual master in his family cultivating every day, so he was disgusted, coupled with the pressure at home, it was not surprising that he was too late. But as long as he truly understands the benefits of cultivating immortals, he will change his mind......"
When did Old Man Niu hear such words, he was shocked: "But you are just a child." ”
"Children who have experienced death. Tang Zai replied lightly: "Growth is related to age, but also to experience." ”
He was referring to the death of Xiaohe Village and Xu Muyang, but to the old man's ears, it was the fate he had encountered and almost "froze to death" in front of the Wu family, and he sighed in his heart, sighed, and said nothing more.
From this day on, Tang Zheng officially worked in the Wei family.
The flowers of the Wei family are still quite relaxed, and every day they water those flowers and plants, remove insects, and prune branches and leaves. The little young master of the Wei family is a boy, he has no love for things like flowers and plants, and he only occasionally glances at them on weekdays, whether Tang Zheng is doing well or not, he can't find out at all. In addition, there was a servant who followed closely with him, so except for talking to Tang Zheng on the first day, in the next few days, he didn't even shout Tang Zheng once.
Tang Zheng was also happy to be relaxed, and he did his own thing every day, so he went to the room arranged by the Wei Mansion for him to study the true solution of the formation path left by Xu Muyang, which was also the place where he worked the most during this time.
It's not that he changed his mind to follow Xu Muyang, but that he didn't formally practice the exercises, and the Tibetan Elephant Sutra didn't allow uncontrolled hard practice, so the extra time was nowhere to be used, so he could only use it for this. Considering that he will open the Nine Absolute Immortal Array in the future, he will have to learn even if he doesn't love it. After entering the academy in the future, he may not have time to study the formation path anymore, so he must seize the current time.
As for the little master of the Wei family, he was not in a hurry.
There are still three years left before entering the academy, and there is enough time.
Besides, it may not be a good thing to approach rashly without knowing the little master. It's better to observe from the side first to understand the preferences of the little master, such as what he likes to eat, what to wear, and what his temperament is. When you have a thorough understanding of the little master, you can make fewer mistakes no matter how close you are.
One successful action is always much more effective than ten unsuccessful actions.
From the current point of view, the little master's nature is actually not bad, and his wife's discipline of him is also strict, but he is held by a group of sycophants every day, and it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant, but his nature is still okay. Otherwise, as Tang Zheng replied on the first day, some young masters with violent temperaments were not in good spirits, and maybe they would have been whipped.
Maybe it was because of Tang Zheng's "good behavior", those few little guys saw Tang Zheng "keeping to themselves", so they didn't bother Tang Zheng anymore.
However, Tang Zheng's words were passed to Mrs. Wei by Old Man Niu.
Mrs. Wei is a shrewd person, and after hearing this, she realized something, and within a few days, she invited a peak spirit master who had been wandering outside for many years and a garrison general of Canglong Mansion to be guests. During the banquet, the guard was extremely respectful to the spirit master, and the immortal grew up with the benefits of the Wei family, and even told his many years of experience, talking about the wonderful, and the little master was overjoyed to hear it, and he couldn't wait to become an immortal and do a chivalrous battle. And Nashou was entrusted by him, and he poured out the bitter water of the soldiers, envying the freedom and accessibility of cultivating immortals.
Most of the spirit masters of the Wei family are people who have just entered the realm of leaving the mortal realm and have achieved nothing, and they can be regarded as the most unpromising group of people who have stepped into the world of cultivating immortals, and those who are really promising will not accept the employment of a "small family" like the Wei family.
This time, the Wei family invited a real person in the immortal cultivation world, which brought the little young master a feeling that was not ordinary. Looking at the low posture of the garrison, he gradually realized that General Lu Dao's status in this world was extremely low, so the heart of this general gradually disappeared.
Although he still plays endlessly every day, he is no longer a game of fighting on horseback, and occasionally he will wear a robe to cast spells.
With a finger of the wooden sword, a little guy "vomited blood in his mouth and fell to the ground and died", and the little young master laughed, as if he had become an immortal.
This incident made Mrs. Wei have a little more affection for Tang Zheng, and she only felt that this child was mature and sensible, so she had the idea of transferring him to the little young master to urge him to study hard, but thinking that Tang Zheng was still short, she decided to take a look first.
However, a few words she said casually were still passed to the ears of Shi Mo by the maid rouge beside her, that is, the thin-eyed little girl that day.
On this day, Tang Zheng was pruning carefully in the garden, seeing that the work was completed, the flower garden was taken care of in an orderly manner, his craftsmanship had obviously increased, and he was quite complacent in his heart, but he thought that the little master of the Wei family had no beads and did not know how to appreciate it, but his flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man, and it was a pity to inevitably feel a little pity.
At this moment, Young Master Wei suddenly rushed over, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a magic sword, pointing at Tang Zheng Yaoyao, and shouted: "Look at my supreme immortal law, fall!"
Tang Zheng was stunned, and before he could react to what was going on, he only heard an angry shout: "Don't fall down yet!"
Shi Mo had already flown up, slammed into Tang Zheng in the flower garden, grabbed him and poured towards the flower garden together, rolling in the flower garden, overwhelming countless flower seedlings, and setting off a lot of Ying......
