Chapter 20 The Young Master of the Wei Family

That night, Guanshi Qin came to say congratulations, and when he learned that Tang Jie had been selected, the elders of the congratulations didn't sleep well all night.

In the morning of the next day, people from the Wei Mansion took Tang Jie away.

Tang Jie didn't see his wife again, only an old man surnamed Niu came and took Tang Jie to the mansion.

Passing through the quiet waterside pavilion, walking along the tree-lined path, bypassing the majestic rockery, and stepping over the red sandalwood bridge, the two came to the Jingxin Garden. Seeing the bright red willow and green flowerbed in front of them, Tang Jie knew that this was his future work. place.

Mr. Niu instructed Tang Jie how to maintain and trim these flowers and plants. Tang Jie brought a small notebook, and wrote down these pointers one after another while listening. Seeing this, the old man was quite satisfied.

Most of the young servants who came to Wei's house to work were there to learn from servants, so they often had no intention of going the right way, and didn't focus on the things they should do well.

Seeing that Tang Jie is so focused, at least he can tell what is his job and what is an extra pursuit, which greatly increases the old man's affection for him.

After talking about the basic maintenance methods, Mr. Niu said: "It is not difficult to maintain flowers and plants, as long as you follow the rules, the key is to be careful. Now that you are new here, you can ask me if you don't understand anything, and I will help you Live in the hut next door. But if you still bother me every day after a month, then I won't care."

"Yes, I understand." Tang Jie replied respectfully.

Only then did the old man nod in satisfaction, and then told Tang Jie about the situation in the Meditation Garden.

Since you want to do things here, you can't even know who is here.

There are actually not many people in Jingxin Garden, apart from the young master Wei Tianchong, there are six servants, two nurses and an old lady. Nursing homes are full of adult quack warriors, who generally don't appear in the meditation garden, so they can be ignored, let alone the old lady.

Among the six servants, Wen Qing was the most senior. He was the head servant of the Jingxin Garden. He was mainly responsible for arranging the young master's daily activities and supervising personnel and property. He is also the oldest, already sixteen this year, and has no hope of being a servant, so he is the least threatening.

Then there are Shi Mo and Shi Meng, both of whose names were bestowed by the wife herself. Those who give names are generally prostitutes, and those like Tang Jie belong to helpers, not prostitutes, 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 Shimo Shimeng's personal servant status is obtained in this way.

Shi Mo is a companion to read, responsible for accompanying the young master to study, 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 who are closest to the young master, and they can be said to be the most powerful competitors of the servant school.

In fact, no matter which big family, most of the servants come from these two positions. Wu Xing was Wei Tianzhi's companion at the beginning, but he replaced the original companion, so there is no need to give a name .

In addition to these two, there are three young servants who are in charge of chores outside the house, running errands and listening at any time, plus Tang Jie who is in charge of the flower garden, exactly four, a total of seven people.

As for the food and clothing, they are all in charge of the servants of the big house, so they don't need to worry about these young servants. So the work of these young servants is actually very easy, anyway, they just circle around the young master, doing whatever he says.

But in fact, except for Shi Mo and Shi Meng, the other servants are not easy to get close to the young master.

Seeing that the young master is about to go to school, his intention directly determines who is likely to become a future servant, so Shi Mo and Shi Meng always watch closely, and hardly give other boys a chance to show off. Even if they wanted to get in touch, the two of them would never leave the young master.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old children of other people's families may still be naughty and ignorant, but the young servants of big families have already started shopping for their future.

While talking at this moment, a group of "horses" suddenly rushed out from the opposite side. The leader was a slightly fat half-sized man, wearing flame general armor, holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and riding a man , followed by four servants,

All of them were dressed in military uniform, holding pointed wooden spears in their hands, and rushed over while shouting.

Tang Jie was taken aback by the military appearance, and Old Man Niu bowed beside him and said, "Young Master!"

Tang Jie knew that this was the rightful owner, so he hurriedly bowed his head to greet him, peeking at the flame general armor on the young master, wondering how he was able to wear such a heavy armor.

Just when a gust of wind blew, the general's armor fluttered a few times, his feelings were paper, and he laughed secretly in his heart.

It was the little fat man who had come in front of the two of them, straddled the boy's neck, let out a cry, the line stopped, and the little fat man said to Mr. Niu: "Old Niu, why are you here?"

The old man smiled and replied: "The new arrival in the mansion, my wife asked me to bring him to get acquainted."

A narrow-eyed boy next to him immediately leaned into the little fat man's ear and whispered a few words, and then the little fat man glanced at Tang Jie: "Are you the one who took my family's money?"

Tang Jie bowed his head and replied: "Yes, young master, Tang Jie greets young master."

The little fat man snorted, "It doesn't look like much either."

The young servants beside him laughed together, the young man didn't know how to hide it, and the gloating intention was obvious.

These servants were already at odds with each other for the sake of their status as servants, and finally a newcomer came, who actually received three yuan a month from the Wei Mansion, which was more than them, which made people feel more and more unaccustomed. Chance taunted immediately.

Tang Jie was not ashamed, but just said indifferently: "The little one is not very good. However, he is loved by his wife, so he will do his duty with all his heart."

When he said this, everyone's laughter was suppressed immediately.

People are chosen by the wife, and if she laughs again, she will become blinded by the laughing wife.

The boys may have some ignorance, but this is definitely not included.

Even the young master didn't dare to say that his mother was wrong, looked at Tang Jie, and snorted: "Let's go!"

He stepped on the 'war horse' again, and left just like that.

Seeing a group of people leaving, Tang Jie was slightly surprised, and asked Mr. Niu next to him: "Why is this young master dressed like this?"

Mr. Niu sighed: "Young master doesn't have much interest in cultivating immortals. He only wants to become a horse warrior. He said that he doesn't want to cultivate immortals. He plays horseback riding and fighting at home every day when he has nothing to do. The master and wife are very worried about this... "

Tang Jie smiled and said: "So that's the case. But it's no wonder that cultivating immortals pays attention to pursuing the way of heaven and being free and unrestrained, which can't compare to the prosperity of the world."

"Life is short, and a hundred years go by."

"If you want to live forever with a pure heart and few desires, it's no different from grass, trees and rocks. It's better than a wonderful life."

Mr. Niu looked at Tang Jie in surprise, he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Tang Jie 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 may not necessarily be what he pursues. It is the position of the general, but the prestige of the general. In fact, there are many wonderful things in the world of cultivating immortals, but he was probably frightened by the daily hard work of the spiritual master at home, so he felt disgusted, and coupled with the pressure at home, he behaved too much. It's not surprising. But as long as he truly understands the benefits of cultivating immortals, he will change his mind..."

When Mr. Niu heard such words, he was shocked: "But you are just a child."

"Children who have experienced death." Tang Jie replied flatly: "Growth is related to age, and it is more related to experience."

He was referring to Xiaohe Village and Xu Muyang's death, but from what the old man heard, it was the fate that he had encountered and almost "frozen to death" in front of the Wu family's gate. He sighed with emotion in his heart and stopped talking.

From this day on, Tang Jie has officially started working at Wei's house.

The flowers of the Wei family are quite relaxed, they just water the flowers and plants every day, get rid of insects, and trim the branches and leaves. The young master of the Wei family is a boy who has no love for flowers and plants. He only looks at them occasionally on weekdays. He can't find out whether Tang Jie is doing well or not. In addition, Shimo Shimeng followed closely, so except for talking to Tang Jie on the first day, in the next few days, he didn't even call Tang Jie once.

Tang Jie was also happy and relaxed. He did his own thing well every day, and went to the room arranged for him by the Weifu to study the true explanation of the array left by Xu Muyang. This is where he worked the most during this period.

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 doesn't allow unrestrained hard work, so there is nowhere to use the extra time but to do this. Considering that he will open the Nine Absolute Zhuxian Formation in the future, even if he doesn't like it, he has to learn it. After entering the academy, he may not have time to study the array, so he must hurry up now.

As for the young master of the Wei family, he was not in a hurry.

There are still three years before entering the academy, which is enough time.

Besides, it may not be a good thing to approach the young master rashly without knowing him well. It's better to observe from the side first to understand the young master's preferences, such as what he likes to eat, what he wears, and his temperament. Once you have a thorough understanding of the young master, you can make fewer mistakes no matter how close you are.

One successful action is always more effective than ten unsuccessful actions.

From the current point of view, the young master's nature is actually not bad, and his wife's discipline on him is considered severe, but he is a bit arrogant and indulgent when he is being hugged by a group of sycophants every day, but his nature is still okay. Otherwise, like Tang Jie's reply on the first day, some violent young masters were not in a good mood, and they might have been whipped off.

Perhaps it was because of Tang Jie's "pretty goodness", the boys saw Tang Jie's "behaving in peace", so they didn't bother Tang Jie any more.

However, what Tang Jie said was passed on to Mrs. Wei by Mr. Niu.

Mrs. Wei's family is a shrewd person. After hearing this, she realized something, and within a few days, she invited a peak spirit master who had been traveling for many years and a defense general of the Canglong Mansion to be her guests. During the banquet, the guardian was extremely respectful to the spiritual master, and he took a mouthful of a fairy head. The fairy head had benefited from the Wei family, and even narrated his many years of experience, and talked about the highlights, so that the young master was overjoyed. I can't wait to become a fairy to fight for justice. And the guard was entrusted by him, poured out the bitterness of the soldiers, and envied the freedom of cultivating immortals.

Most of the spiritual masters of the Wei family are people who have just entered the realm of escape and have achieved nothing. They can be regarded as the most hopeless group of stepping into the world of cultivating immortals. Those who really have a future will not accept the "small family" of the Wei family. of employment.

This time the Wei family invited a real person from the world of cultivating immortals, which gave the young master an unusual feeling. Looking at the low posture of the guard again, I gradually realized that the status of the general in this world is extremely low, so the heart of being a general gradually disappeared.

Although I still play endlessly every day, it is no longer a game of horseback riding and fighting, and occasionally I will wear a Taoist robe and cast spells.

With a single point of the wooden sword, a young servant "vomited blood and fell to the ground dead", the young master laughed out loud, as if he had become a fairy.

This incident made Mrs. Wei's family have a little more affection for Tang Jie. She only felt that the child was mature and sensible, so she thought of transferring him to the young master and urging him to study hard. But think about it when Tang Jie came. The day is still short, so I decided to take a look first.

However, her casual words were still passed on to Si Mo's ears by the maid beside her, Rou Zhi, who was the narrow-eyed servant back then.

On this day, Tang Jie was earnestly pruning in the garden. Seeing that the work was completed and the flower garden was taken care of in an orderly manner, his craftsmanship had obviously improved greatly, and he felt quite complacent. It was a pity that this winking was thrown to the blind man.

At this moment, Young Master Wei suddenly rushed over, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a magic sword, pointed at Tang Jie, and shouted: "Look at my supreme immortal law, fall!"

Tang Jie was stunned, but before he realized what was going on, he only heard an angry shout: "Still falling down!"

Shi Mo had already flew up, rushed towards Tang Jie who was in the flower garden, grabbed him and fell towards the flower garden together, rolling in the flower garden, crushing countless flower seedlings, causing falling flowers...
