Chapter 42 Entrustment

At this point, there is no more suspense about the selection of servants, and the wife finally decided that Shi Meng and Tang Jie would be in charge.

After the decision is made, some people are happy and some are disappointed.

Everyone gathered around to congratulate Tang Jie and Shi Meng, and even Qin Guanshi was congratulated by other people.

The Wu family has a family of two heroes, and Guanshi Qin has a good eye for knowing people, etc. praises poured in.

Those who reacted cleverly had already secretly left the house to report to the Wu family. The Wu family's second boss was overjoyed, and rewards must be indispensable.

This day has become a day for all servants to cheer and celebrate, just like the imperial examination in ancient times, the talent show in this world, and the servant school is also a common dream in the hearts of ordinary people.

Tang Jie and Shi Meng dealt with it surrounded by everyone. They had never been treated like this in their life. Once they stepped into the Dragon Gate, they had passed the addiction of being a star.

Unlike the attention of the winners, the losers are ignored.

When Tang Jie went around to congratulate him, he found that Shi Mo had withdrawn from the hall at some point and disappeared without a trace.

No one knows when he left.

Just as he was wondering, he only heard Zheng Shufeng say behind him: "Tang Jie, come here."

At this time, both the master and that Master Lu had left, and Zheng Shufeng was the only family member left in the hall.

Tang Jie responded, and Zheng Shufeng pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down."

"My wife is here, the little one dare not sit down."

"You're welcome." Zheng Shufeng smiled and said, "You deserve it."

After becoming a servant, Tang Jie is no longer a servant, or in other words, he is no longer an ordinary servant. According to the long-standing habits of the major families, even the main family will be more polite to these future immortal masters.

Tang Jie knew this, so after thanking him, he took the first place under Zheng Shufeng.

Zheng Shufeng took a closer look at Tang Jie, saw that he had a correct expression, and he was not overjoyed after getting the position of servant. He was deeply satisfied, nodded and said: "You have been in Weifu for almost three years. During these three years, I have also Watching you do things, I know you well. Do you know why I chose you to enter the mansion back then?"

"Ma'am, is it because of the three pennies?" Tang Jie didn't know why Zheng Shufeng asked this, so he replied cautiously.

Zheng Shufeng smiled and shook his head: "Your filial piety to the elders of the Wu family was indeed the most important reason why I chose you, but there is another important reason besides that, which is your origin."

origin?

Tang Jie was slightly surprised. Isn't his life experience his biggest problem?

Zheng Shufeng said: "You must have suffered a lot during that time to be able to walk from Yeguyuan to Canglong Mansion alone?"

Hearing this, Tang Jie couldn't help but see Xu Muyang's shadow again. Thinking of the experience of traveling from Anyang to Canglong Mansion during that time, he couldn't help but replied: "During that time , was the darkest time in my life. I was walking alone in the lonely wilderness, without a few pennies, and I didn’t know where the road ahead... Sometimes I wonder how I got through that period It's been a long road to come to this Canglong Mansion."

To walk all the way under the pursuit of Tianshen Palace, Tang Jie really suffered a lot during that time, endured hunger and hunger, not to mention the hardships, but also to beware of possible dangers anytime and anywhere.

It is a miracle in itself that a twelve-year-old child can come to Canglong Mansion alive under such conditions.

Tang Jie had never said this before, and no one was aware of it. Unexpectedly, Zheng Shufeng found out that it was unusual, which made Tang Jie immediately feel moved by meeting a bosom friend.

"It's really not easy..." Zheng Shufeng also nodded his head and sighed: "If Chong'er can have your tenacity and perseverance, I don't think I can only open four doors. Your Yumen rank five is not because of your amazing talent, but It is the reward of your previous experience. Even among the servants of the Wei Mansion, you may not find such an experience."

Hearing this, Tang Jie suddenly realized in his heart that he finally understood why Zheng Shufeng valued him so much.

Sure enough, Zheng Shufeng said: "Actually, I also know that it is good for Chong'er to suffer a little bit.

But after all, I am a woman and a mother. How many mothers can really be ruthless to make their children suffer, especially the kind that may cost half their life? Do you know how much I feel sorry for Chong'er when I opened the door today and saw him crying. "

"The little one understands, pity the hearts of parents in the world."

"Poor parents all over the world..." Zheng Shufeng chewed on these words, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Well said. Chong'er was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she has never suffered. Wanquan City is thousands of miles away from Canglong Mansion. He has entered school, so even if I want to protect him, I can't protect him. My son travels thousands of miles and my mother is worried. If I don't find someone I can really rely on, will I still count on those trash? So the first thing I do is ask you to take care of him I love Jia Chong'er, although Shi Meng can be regarded as a diligent child, compared to you, he is still much worse."

Although Tang Jie's origin is somewhat unknown, Zheng Shufeng valued him for being able to come to Canglong Mansion from Anyang alone, living independently and handling things.

For Zheng Shufeng, the matter of repaying the master's family with the help of a servant, Huang Tengda, has never been her most important thing.

The only thing she values ​​most is her son!

As long as the child is good, then anything is okay.

From this perspective, among the two major meanings of servant school, the meaning of "accompanying and serving" is far greater than "investing in the future" in Zheng Shufeng's eyes.

In fact, the original purpose of big families choosing servants was to take care of their children. As for "expecting returns", that was just an addition later.

As Tang Jie said, in the process of chasing the goal, people often lose their original purpose due to the twists and turns of the road.

But Zheng Shufeng didn't!

She knows exactly what she wants.

Because of this, no matter how good Shi Mo's heart demon is, if he doesn't have the ability to take good care of the young master Wei Tianchong, Zheng Shufeng will not choose him. In Zheng Shufeng's eyes, "can take good care of the young master" is her choice The first standard!

So even if Tang Jie didn't have Yumen Rank 5, Zheng Shufeng would still choose him based on his survivability and ability to handle affairs. On this point, even Tang Jie didn't expect it.

Hearing what Zheng Shufeng said at this moment, Tang Jie suddenly realized.

Although he thought of Zheng Shufeng's importance to this matter, he didn't realize that her importance to it far surpassed all other considerations.

Discovering the problem but ignoring the problem is equivalent to not discovering the problem. Tang Jie felt that he had made a big mistake—if he had realized this problem earlier, then when he made his demonic vow, he could completely reschedule the promised return. smaller.

So he has effectively paid for the mistake.

It's not his fault, these days, he faces only half-age children.

Although the opponent's weakness allowed him to win easily, but because it couldn't stimulate Tang Jie's desire to fight, it was inevitable that he ignored it.

So the real excitement will always appear when you meet a powerful opponent.

In the past three years, I have been dragged down a bit by incompetent opponents. The only bright spot is probably that Ji Ziqian's appearance has lifted Tang Jie's spirits.

Fortunately, Xiyue College has a large number of talents, and the avenues of competition are cruel and boundless. I believe that there should be many wonderful things waiting for me in the future.

"Madam, don't worry, Tang Jie will definitely take good care of the young master." Tang Jie hastily replied.

Zheng Shufeng said again: "Besides, Chong'er is still young after all. He was ignorant at the time, and he whipped you. At that time, I was here, and I didn't worry about you being wronged. I, Zheng Shufeng, also took care of it. Get up. But I left this house and went to the foot of Tianzi, the important place of the immortal family. If something happens again, even I may not be able to protect him. If I get too big, I may destroy my family. So this The second thing is, please help me keep an eye on Chong'er, and don't let him cause any troubles that shouldn't be caused."

She said this solemnly, Tang Jie knew it was not a lie.

Those who can enter Xiyue College are either servants with backgrounds, nobles, geniuses, or simply immortals, anyway, whichever one is not easy to mess with.

Wei Tianchong can be a tyrant in the Wei family, but when he goes there, he has to learn to bow his head.

However, the temperament of a young man is hard to control, God knows when something will happen, so at this moment Zheng Shufeng said, he actually saluted Tang Jie.

This ceremony fell into everyone's eyes, and everyone was shocked, Tang Jie even jumped up to avoid it: "My wife is very polite, and the younger ones dare not accept it."

"As long as you can complete the two things I told you, what's a mere gift?" Zheng Shufeng replied with a smile.

Take good care of her son and prevent him from getting into trouble. These are Zheng Shufeng's two requirements, and they are also her most important requirements. As long as this can be achieved, all the investment in Tang Jie will be worthwhile. As for Tang Jie's promise, that is nothing more than It's interest, whether it's there or not, at least she, Zheng Shufeng, doesn't care.

Regarding Zheng Shufeng's entrustment, Tang Jie smiled wryly: "Madam, I can agree to the first thing, and do my best to do my duty. However, there are some things that I can't stop the young master's behavior after all."

"I know." Zheng Shufeng nodded: "After all, you are a servant. He may not listen to what you say. The incident of Yinglong Mountain is a proof. At that time, you can kill the horse to stop it, but there may be many things in the future, but there may not be a horse to do it." I'll kill you. Anyway, since I chose to trust you, I naturally have to trust you to the end... Rouge, go get the family law."

Rouge next to him has already hurried to the front of the hall, took down a whip and handed it to his wife.

This whip is not the rattan whip that Wei Tianchong used to beat Tang Jie back then, but a special torture instrument made of high-quality green bamboo joints. It won't hurt the root, but it will definitely hurt people to death. It's just a whip. , Never forget.

At the same time, it is also a tool used by the Wei family to enforce family rules and discipline, representing the majesty of the head of the Wei family, and no child of the Wei family can resist.

Zheng Shufeng grabbed the bamboo whip and handed it to Tang Jie: "When I go to the academy, I will formally hand it over to you. If Chong'er dares to do anything rebellious again, you can beat him with this family law! Trust that you know when to use it and when not to use it!"

Tang Jie trembled.

This is Shang Fang's sword!

With this thing in hand, he no longer has to worry about Wei Tian rushing up to be stubborn and doing some stupid and stupid things.

Looking at the bamboo whip, Tang Jie finally bowed to the end, and said loudly: "My wife trusts me, and I am very grateful. Please rest assured, my wife. Tang Jie will definitely live up to my wife's expectations and take good care of the young master!"

Seeing that small green bamboo whip, the other servants were also shocked, Shi Meng even sighed secretly, it turned out that in the eyes of his wife, he was not as important as Tang Jie after all.

If Ji Ziqian hadn't been squeezed out at the beginning, then he would probably be Shimeng who lost the election. Thinking of this, he was also sweating profusely.

However, there is one thing he already understands, that is, in the threesome of master and servant in the future, his status will definitely not be comparable to that of Tang Jie.

This is... really disappointing!

While the crowd was amazed, a servant outside suddenly ran in and shouted in panic: "Madam, madam, something is wrong."

"What's all the fuss about?" Zheng Shufeng frowned.

"Shi Mo...Shi Mo is crazy, he...he..."

"What happened to him?" Zheng Shufeng asked impatiently.

"He caught the young master!"
