Chapter 19

Qin yuan's sentence "wait a moment" directly made Tang Jie wait for several months.

It was not until June that administrator Qin finally brought good news that there was a vacancy.

A few days ago, a servant in charge of the garden of the Wei family died of an acute illness and needed to fill the vacancy. After the news came out, several stewards of the Wei family recommended people to the government, and the one recommended by the Qin stewards was Tang Jie.

In the morning of the next day, the governor Qin led Tang into the Wei mansion.

As one of the five families of Canglong Prefecture, the family background of the Wei family is really extraordinary.

The whole Qingyun street is occupied by the Wei family alone. There are more than 400 rooms, including six light gardens, in which nearly 300 people live.

At present, the largest generation of the Wei family is naturally the old man Wei and the old lady Wei.

The old man and his wife have two sons and two daughters, both of whom have been married.

The eldest son, Wei Danbai, is the current head of the Wei family. He has a wife and two concubines. Zheng Shufeng, the first wife, has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Wei Tianzhi, is now at the moon washing college. The second daughter, Wei qinger, has gone to the Fantasy College of Qianqing sect. The youngest son is Wei Tianchong. There is also a son and a daughter who are born of concubines and have no inheritance qualification, but they have no chance to enter the college. In some aspects, they are inferior to servants.

Tianzhi, Tianchong. From its name, we can see the ambition of the Wei family, which is to go to heaven.

When Wei Danbai got his son, the Wei family had become powerful in Canglong mansion. Therefore, the consideration was no longer to make money, but to cultivate immortality.

Unfortunately, their foundation is still shallow. So far, there are no real practitioners of their own in the family. There are only some highly paid external spiritual masters, which are still incomparable with the Jin, Zhang and Gu families. As long as the Wei family can produce their own spiritual master, the family can be protected for 100 years. If you can get out of heaven's state of mind, the Wei family will no longer be the Wei family of Canglong mansion, but the Wei family of Lingzhou.

As for state-level families, it takes a lot of heaven and mind, and the family itself has its own inheritance.

In addition to Wei Danbai, Wei Qingsong, the second son of the old man, also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Wei Ming and the youngest daughter Wei die.

Among them, Wei Ming also entered the college the year before last, but like Wei Tianzhi, the door was open and inferior, and it was difficult to cultivate. Compared with Wei Danbai, Wei Qingsong can give his son less resources. Therefore, the old man has no great expectations for this line. Therefore, the main expectation of the Wei family is on Wei Tianchong.

The Wei family values boys over girls, but they are not very interested in the cultivation of girls - there is no need to spend precious resources for the daughter-in-law of another family.

It is precisely for this reason that there are not many female practitioners in the immortal world, not because of their poor qualifications, but because the assistance from the family is far less than that from men. It is said that Wei qinger was taken away by Qianqing Zong after he was favored by Qianqing Zong because of his excellent talent. Otherwise, he is afraid that he is still waiting for a word at home.

There are hundreds of people in the Wei family. It can be said that all of them are used to serve the elders, wives, young masters and young ladies of the Wei family. The garden factotum that the young master Wei Tianchong wants to apply for is the Jingxin garden.

For this reason, the dispute between the servants was particularly fierce.

In addition to the Tang robbery brought by Qin yuan, the first manager, the second manager and the third manager also brought a little boy. In addition, there were some foreign housekeepers of the Wei family who recommended that a total of 18 teenagers stand in front of Zheng Shufeng, the wife of the Wei family, and greet her.

Finally, this era is not as disgusting as that of the Qing Dynasty. Servants do not need to call themselves slaves, nor do they need to kneel before meeting people.

In fact, this era is more like the Tang Dynasty in the earth's time. The atmosphere is more open. Although there are various rules and regulations, the servants are not necessarily untouchables, but also have their own dignity.

After all, the world that can cultivate immortals is itself a world full of opportunities. Even the poorest people may soar.

Because it was for her son to choose a servant, Mrs. Wei's family seemed especially solemn and came to choose it herself.

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the hall, dressed in a red satin shirt with flowers and butterflies, with a jade bead hairpin on her head, and two maidservants behind her gently shaking the fan.

After drinking a cup of tea, he said slowly: "please report your name first."

Eighteen teenagers signed up one by one, and their own documents were recorded.

Then the wife said, "if you can read, raise your hand."

The 18 teenagers raised their hands at the same time, and the paper ticked each of the 18 names to indicate that they were qualified.

As a matter of fact, few of the young people in the Canglong mansion can read.

However, most of the people recommended this time are old people in the government. They have clear requirements for the Wei government. They will never select unqualified people.

Even the Tang robbery was repeatedly asked by Qin yuan before it was accepted after confirming that the conditions were qualified.

Tang Jia started to read in Xiaohe village. He had a good foundation in learning Chinese characters. He learned Chinese characters very quickly. After he followed Xu Muyang, he even practiced calligraphy every day when he had nothing to do.

According to Xu Muyang, the characters can't be written well. What are the symbols?

He had thought that some of the 18 people who came this time would be illiterate, but he did not expect that all of them were well prepared.

The lady added, "if you can count, raise your hand."

At last, a few people did not raise their hands this time, but most of them still raised their hands.

Mrs. Wei said again, "if you have ever worked in a big family, raise your hand."

Even fewer people raised their hands this time, only Tang Jie and two other teenagers.

Mrs. Wei asked the three men about their work experience. Tang Jie had made up his own experience in a big family when he was in the Wu family. After half a year of telling lies, he is now more familiar with it.

After hearing this, the wife of the Wei family asked, "tell me what flowers you have planted."

But not many people spoke.

Ordinary flowers are not rare in the Wei family. It's useless to talk about them. Even the poor young people are not qualified to play with them.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hands. They were relieved.

On the contrary, Tang Jie thought about it and raised his hand and said, "I have raised thousands of flowers."

The faces of all the teenagers changed dramatically at the same time.

"Oh?" Mrs. Wei's wife became interested and said, "tell me how we raised it."

The Tang Dynasty calmed down and replied, "Qianzhan flower is a needle shaped flower with sharp thorns on its roots, stems and leaves. It is an extremely drought resistant plant and its stems can be used as medicine. If it can be cultivated for ten years, it can have a certain spirit. It blooms every three years. Because there are many needles and leaves, it is called Qianzhan flower if there are thousands of flowers in bloom."

"Good, good!" Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction: "this is what you learned from the people you followed before?"

"Yes." Tang Jie replied: "qianzhanhua doesn't like the humid environment, so most of them are in the north. It's not rare. On the contrary, it's much less in Canglong mansion."

In fact, this flower was left by people before he bought the house.

Tang Jia heard that the thousand flowers bloomed beautifully, so he stayed to take care of them. Unfortunately, he took care of them for more than half a year and never saw them bloom once. Unexpectedly, they were used here to answer questions.

The garden of the Wei family is definitely more than this kind of flower, but it is better to understand one kind of flower first than not.

"Yes, that's why we should be more careful." The wife smiled at this moment, and then turned to the others and said, "you haven't raised any precious flowers and plants. I don't blame you. If the flowers planted by the Wei family are no different from those of ordinary people, they will lose their own value. So don't worry. You can learn what you don't know. The Wei family will have someone to teach you."

Everyone was relieved to hear this.

It's a pity that Tang robbed me. Although I don't expect to be elected on this basis, it's a pity that I can't give play to my advantages.

The wife came to the scene and threw out one question after another. It seemed that it was necessary to thoroughly investigate these young people.

When it comes to performance, none of the 18 youngsters is as good as Tang.

However, Tang Jia knew his own family affairs. His biggest problem was that there were some problems with his origins.

Although there is a guarantee from the two elders of the Wu family, it is still not as good as these young people who are born and raised and know their roots.

Fortunately, he has already taken care of this matter, so he is not afraid that his wife cares more, but only that she cares less.

After asking some questions, the wife said leisurely: "if you enter the Wei family, how much do you think is appropriate?"

That's a clever question to ask.

Fortunately, these youngsters were also prepared, and the clever one took the lead in answering: "naturally, the wife the final say, and the wife gives as much as she wants."

"That's right. It's a privilege for a small student to work for the Wei family. There's no reason to ask for a price."

And the young man who did everything for the opportunity shouted: "as long as I can enter the Wei family, I'm willing to get nothing!"

Most of these teenagers are young, but at this moment they appear mature and sensible. Tang Jiaxin knows that most of them have been taught by their own adults.

Seeing everyone's attitude at this moment, Tang Jie thought for a while, but replied: "if his wife is willing, Tang Jie hopes to get three monthly wages."

Three Guan coins, that is, three thousand Wen copper coins, equivalent to three Liang silver.

In other words, the Tang Dynasty demanded a salary of 3000.

It is normal that the price should be kept in the present world, but for the young servants of the Wei family, it is simply astronomical.

No one dares to ask such a high price!

For a moment, all the young people looked at Tang Jie in astonishment. Qin yuan was even more shocked. Is this boy crazy? How dare you ask the Weifu for money?

Even the wife of the Wei family looked at Tang Jie in surprise: "do you want the money for the three passes?"

Tang Jie was embarrassed and said, "yes! Please forgive me. When I came out to work, I wanted to climb the high branch of the Wei family, but more importantly, I wanted to earn some money for my righteous parents."

"For the two elders of the Wu family, don't they have enough money?"

"That's not right." Tang Jiaji replied: "it's just that my adoptive father is old and worked hard when he was young, and he has fallen ill. Now every rainy day, his muscles and bones are sore and his body is weak. Canglong Prefecture is a city with plenty of water, and there are many rainy seasons. I want to buy some magic medicine for my adoptive parents, but the price of the magic medicine is extremely expensive..."

Tang Jia did not go on, but his wife already understood.

"So it is." The wife nodded: "I heard Qin yuan say something about you. It's a coincidence that you were picked up from the snow by the second elder of the Wu family. You are very nice to the second elder on weekdays, and the neighbors are also very praised. It's rare for you to know how to repay him. You are a good child."

Then the wife smiled and said, "well, that's all for today. You can all go down first. When the selection is made, you will be informed."

Eighteen teenagers left one after another.

When they returned to the Wu family, the two elders of the Wu family hurriedly asked how Tang Jie was, and Tang Jie answered them one by one.

When they heard that Tang Jiajie asked for three Guan, the two elders cried sadly at the same time. The old lady even complained: "you are such a clever child. Why are you so ignorant today? The children of other people don't want money and want to send it to China, but you want three Guan. This is really... Hopeless."

Tang Jie didn't explain, but said with a smile: "if there is no hope, there is no hope. It's good to serve you in front of the two elders."

The two old men sighed together, but they were also helpless.

The 18 teenagers here have left, but the wife of the Wei family is still looking at the information one by one. The two little girls behind are looking at nobody around and talking to themselves.

This said that I think the young man surnamed Li is good, and that said that I think the young man surnamed Liu is more suitable. On the one hand, he said, I think you are moved by the spring. Look at the handsome man. The two people started fighting together.

When Mrs. Wei heard this, she shook her head and coughed softly. The two little girls shut up and could not help laughing again.

Mrs. Wei said, "what are you laughing at?"

A girl replied, "Madam Hui, I was thinking that the young man named Tang Jie just now dared to ask for three times of money, and I could open my mouth."

"That's it. I really thought the Wei family begged him to come in."

While they were talking, supervisor Qin came in. When he heard this, he couldn't help blushing. He bowed and said, "madam, those boys have already been sent back."

"Yes."

Qin yuan thought for a while and then said, "what the Tang robbery said today, madam, please don't take it to heart."

"Take it to heart?" The wife replied, "what do you mean?"

"That's... The salary for the three passes." Qin yuan replied.

The wife slowly drank a cup of tea. "Why, do you think our Wei family can't afford to pay for people?"

"Of course I didn't mean that. It's just that the boy doesn't understand..."

"I think he is very sensible." The wife has already replied: "the two elders of the Wu family saved his life, so he tried his best to take care of them even though he had no future. It can be seen that he is kind-hearted and sincere. It is a good thing to know that filial piety comes first at a young age."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei sighed: "if you know who is not in this world, if you treat him well, he will certainly repay you. Are there still few ungrateful people in this world? Therefore, loyalty is the most important thing in selecting servants. Intelligence is good, but honesty is more important!"

Qin yuan was very happy. He knew that there was a chance.

A girl nearby said: "but the boy's background is a little shallow. He knows his face but not his heart."

Qin yuan was so angry that he dared not scold him, The wife snorted: "Did you take advantage of the Li family to speak well? What about the short time you came? Not everyone needs to be clean. Some of the brothers turn against each other and repay each other with a meal. Why do I force the public to ask Qin yuan to be the chief steward of the guard house? Is it not because he knows how to repay his kindness and is a reliable person? Although the origin of the Tang Dynasty robbery is unknown, he is kind-hearted and has a good heart. I think it is better than that The foundation is more reliable. "

"Wouldn't that mean paying three more times a month?" Another little girl muttered.

The wife gave her a bad look, He poked her forehead with his pointed finger: "You're so careful. What's a few rounds of money? In order to make a master of the Wei family, the master is willing to spend one million taels of silver. It's really inexperienced. Besides, Wu Xing is studying with Tianzhi now. If he knows that other teenagers in our family don't choose the most expensive one, he should also consider it as taking care of his family in advance. So, it's settled. Let's choose the Tang robber! "

"My wife is a mirror!" Governor Qin bowed to the end.
