Chapter 18

Before dawn, Tang Jie got up to clean the courtyard.

There was a rustling sound in the yard. Tang Jia waved his broom one after another. The aura passed through his body, through every vein, and finally disappeared.

However, every time he carried his whole body, there was always a trace of aura that would eventually hide in his blood, which greatly increased the strength of Tang Jie's whole body.

This was discovered by Tang Jia after he broke away from the shackles that time. He found that in the process of cultivation, the Zang Xiang Jing can not only expand the meridians with Reiki, but also melt into the blood to increase strength.

To refine blood, bones and internal organs with spiritual Qi is something that can only be done in a state of detachment from the world. It is precisely for this reason that it is called detachment from the world, because it is separated from the human body. However, the Tibetan elephant Sutra could be refined at the beginning of the Lingtai, which surprised and delighted the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, he realized that this was just the hidden function of the Zang Xiang Jing.

Xu Muyang always believed that the Tibetan elephant Scripture was written by the soldier master. The effect was definitely not as simple as simply attacking the jade gate. Now it seems that he is not wrong. However, he mistakenly thought that the role of the Zang Xiang Jing should be the nine turns of the Jade Gate, but he didn't think it was to refine the body in advance.

No wonder Xu Muyang didn't think of it.

The immortals use their magic to dominate, and the jade gate is the most important one. It is directly related to the speed of cultivation. Who would have thought that the Tibetan elephant Sutra is another way. As for why, Tang Jie knew he could not find the answer before he completely opened the soldier's hiding place.

At this moment, he cleaned the courtyard, and the Tibetan elephant Sutra had been practiced once. He felt that his strength was rising again. Although he is a young man, his strength is not much different from that of an adult. He is also happy.

The door opened with a squeak, and old lady Wu came out of the room. Seeing that Tang Jie had cleaned the courtyard, she smiled and said, "you child, get up so early to do things."

Tang Jiaji said with a smile: "I was saved by the second elder. It's hard to repay my kindness even if I'm broken. What's the point of cleaning the courtyard? Grandma, please take a rest and I'll go to the kitchen to boil water."

"Oh, don't move. After you come, we both have nothing to do. You can finish all the work." The old lady said helplessly, "I have no place to relax."

"Then I'll knock your back." Tang Jia came over with a smile and helped the old lady to sit down, but he was concentrating on knocking her back.

He learned this back tapping technique from his father in a previous life. The movements are professional, the techniques are in place, and the weight is excellent. It makes the old lady extremely comfortable.

When old Wu came out to see the situation, he couldn't help laughing and saying, "I'm really enjoying it. You've become an old lady of the Wei family."

Mrs. Wu glanced at her husband without curiosity and said with a smile: "I see, even the old lady of the Wei family is not as comfortable as I am. The technique of small robbery is really good. It makes me feel comfortable. People seem to be a little younger. I didn't expect to enjoy it until I married you. I didn't come here for nothing."

"Since grandma likes it, Xiaojie will knock for you every day." Tang Jia laughed.

"Good!" Old Mrs. Wu has already given her consent.

Tang Zhai is a good man. He lives here these days and cleans up the house. He doesn't need any money. He only needs three meals a day and a place to stay. It's true that no servant is so cheap. How can the old lady be unhappy.

In fact, sometimes it's really simple to please a person. He can talk, behave and do things. As long as he does things well, people will naturally be happy.

The Wu family's old husband and wife are not familiar with the world, and Tang Zhai can coax Xu Muyang. It is easier to deal with the old couple. They serve the two elders as if they were in heaven. In addition, they are lonely and their children are not around. They are accompanied by Tang Zhai. They are more and more fond of Tang Zhai, and they are treated as their own children.

"In that case, you can stay here and don't have to go anywhere." Mrs. Wu smiled.

"That's not good, grandma. I still have to go out and do some work. I can't rely on you for dinner every day, can I?" Tang Jia replied with a smile.

"You're still young, so don't be in a hurry."

"Although I'm young and strong, I can do all the adult's work. Besides, the second elder saved my life and took me in. It's only natural for me to serve you. How can I eat and drink freely here?"

After thinking for a while, old Wu nodded and said, "that's right."

Mrs. Wu stared: "what are you talking about, old man? You really want to let Xiaojie out. Can't we afford a child?"

"Well, I can't say that." Old Wu waved and said, "the children of the poor should have been in charge of the family. If Tang Jie hadn't suffered all the way, he might not have been as smart as he is now. I think it's good for him to let him go out to work. If you feel sorry, you can not take his money. Save it for him and save it for his daughter-in-law."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wu bowed her head and pondered for a moment: "well, since it's your intention, it's up to you, the old man. You can find a better partner for Xiaojie."

"Me?" Old Wu was stunned and said with a wry smile, "where can I find him something to do? Besides, it depends on what he knows."

Tang Jia's hand on his back slowed down and bowed his head to answer, "Grandpa, I'm poor, but I can't do anything except farming."

"Nothing?" Old Wu's face immediately collapsed. "It's a bit difficult. Haven't you done anything before?"

"Yes, I have." Tang Jie said: "I used to be a boy servant in one of our families for a while. The people there liked me and took good care of me. But the horse thief came..."

He did not say any more, and his voice was already sobbing.

The old couple understood and sighed together.

Or old lady Wu said: "Oh, don't talk about these sad things. No wonder you've cleaned up your house so well, Xiaojie. You've also been with big families. Yes, old man!"

Mrs. Wu suddenly cried out, "why don't you ask manager Qin and say that you can't let Xiaojie work in the guard's house?"

Old Wu frowned at once: "this... Isn't very good?"

"What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Wu has shouted: "you saved the life of manager Qin. Didn't he nearly freeze to death at our door like Xiao Jie that winter? That's a coincidence. I didn't expect that Xiao Jie would do the same in 20 years. Qin yuan is now in charge of the Wei family. He's good for us. Tell me about it. I think it can be done!"

"But the Wei family doesn't accept people of unknown origin. Even if Qin is in charge, he may not be the master."

"Why is the origin unknown?" Old lady Wu stared and shouted: "Xiaojie is now a member of our family. He is... He is... He is my stepson. Is it difficult for me to know the origin of Wuyu lotus? If it is not enough, I will say that he is your illegitimate son who stole life outside!"

Old Wu was ashamed to hear this: "what are you talking about? I'm six years old. Where can I give birth to a 12-year-old child? If you spread this word, how can I be a man in the neighborhood? Really... Really..."

Mrs. Wu said: "fortunately, I'm only seventeen this year. Isn't it your old son?"

"How can it be the same? I was not forty at that time. I still had... And... And strength." The old man squeezed for a long time and squeezed out the word "strength".

"A small disaster is not much smaller than a lucky one."

"Nonsense!" The old man was angry with his wife and shook off his hand.

Tang Jia also laughed at the old couple's quarrel, but at the next moment he knelt down in front of Mrs. Wu and shouted: "Tang Jia is willing to recognize the second old man as his adoptive father and adoptive mother. He also asks the second old man to take him in. From now on, he will be filial to the son of man!"

"It's still the child who speaks well." Mrs. Wu smiled and took Tang Jie in her arms. "Er, good boy, since you are all kneeling, I will accept it. Get up quickly."

Then he looked at his husband: "why, you are not happy? I think Xiaojie can be your adopted son. It's your blessing!"

"This... This..." old Wu shook his head, but after all, it was not his wife's intention, and finally nodded: "OK, OK, I promise."

It's interesting to think that I have accepted another adopted son when I am getting old. I can't help laughing.

"Then why don't you invite administrator Qin to come and sit down?"

"I'll ask for it, but it's not urgent. It's only a few days since Tang robbed our family. We have to stay for a few days to let the neighbors know about him and get familiar with each other before inviting him. Otherwise, when manager Qin asks me what's wrong with this child, we can't tell. How can you recommend him?"

Privately, old Wu also felt that he needed to look again. His character could not be seen from day to day, and it always took time to understand it.

"This is the same." Mrs. Wu mumbled and looked at Tang Jie. Tang Jie said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, as long as the two elders don't mind me eating but not working."

"Ouch! How can you complain? Have you done little work? That's settled. You can live here first. You don't have to worry about anything if you have your Godfather."

"Yes, godmother!"

In this way, Tang Jie officially settled down in the Wu family.

Time flies, and a few months have passed in the blink of an eye. Winter goes and spring comes, and it is a good time of the year.

It's almost a year since I met Xu Muyang.

In this year, the Tang Dynasty robbery has obviously increased. The meridians have already been expanded, and even the blood vessels are full of aura. It seems that the Zang Xiang Jing has not reached the end of its training, but it automatically moves toward the bones and internal organs, making the whole person stronger. However, it still looks like an ordinary young man. No one knows that the young man has the strength to easily knock down three or five strong men.

At the same time, Tang Jie became familiar with the neighborhood. No one in Daliushu Street knows that the Wu family saved a boy in distress last winter and has now adopted him. Although he is not very old, he is very flexible and clever. From time to time, he helps his neighbors do something. He is handsome and has attracted the admiration of some young girls nearby.

This new year's Eve, manager Qin came to the Wu family and brought some gifts. Tang Zhai was lucky to meet him. He was a middle-aged man in his forties and looked mature and steady.

At that time, the manager qin nearly died of cold in the Wu family. Fortunately, the second elder of the Wu family gave him a bowl of hot porridge and saved his life. Unexpectedly, a few years ago, he suddenly shook up and became the leader of the Wei family with the master of the Wei family. He never forgot his kindness. Every year, he would visit the family and send some silver.

Wu Xing, the son of Wu Laohan, was fortunate to be in charge of Qin. He entered the Wei mansion a few years ago and later went to the moon washing college with the young master of the Wei family as a servant. Old man Wu suddenly had a son of Xiuxian, and his status rose sharply. Although he has not returned from his studies, even if he is only a spiritual apprentice, he can make the old Wu Han's family not worry about food and drink. No one dares to come to the house to cause trouble. Therefore, manager Qin is more diligent.

Today, governor Qin came to see old man Wu again. Old man Wu asked Tang Jie to prepare wine and meat for him, and then served dinner together.

In the dining room, Mrs. Wu repeatedly winked at the old man, but the old man just buried his head in the meal and pretended not to see him.

Seeing this, the manager Qin said with a smile: "what's the matter with you, sir? We've been here for so many years. Why do you still hide it? If you have anything to do, you can tell me. As long as I can do it, I won't leave."

Mrs. Wu glared at her husband angrily, and then said: "he is such a person that he doesn't ask for help easily. No, I asked you to help me introduce things to xing'er a few years ago. Now I feel embarrassed."

"It's a trifle. It's not worth mentioning." Manager Qin has said with a smile: "brother Xing is worthy of the two old people and has become a companion reader. I still hope to rely on brother Xing in the future."

"That is, that is, if he dares not take care of you, I'll peel his skin. Even if he becomes an immortal, he is also my son, the meat that falls from my stomach!" Mrs. Wu said happily, and then grabbed Tang Jie beside her and said, "you know my little robber. He was picked up by our old couple from the snow a few days ago. It's just like your life."

"Yes." When he heard what happened in those years, manager Qin's eyes also turned red. He also had some sympathy for this boy who had the same fate as himself.

As soon as Mrs. Wu saw that there was a door, she hurriedly said: "although the child's life is hard, he is very smart and strong. It's his fault to clean up the family. You can see that he has been with a rich family before. But it's a pity that the family was in trouble, and that's why he's down here. Look..."

"Do you want me to take him to the Wei mansion?" Governor Qin has understood what the old lady meant.

"Yes!" The old lady stopped hiding and simply said, "do you think it can be done?"

After thinking for a while, manager Qin replied, "it's not unreasonable, but he has been here for a short time, and he doesn't know enough about it. Besides, there is no shortage of people in the Wei mansion."

The old lady's face immediately collapsed.

Manager Qin said again: "but the child is clever and clever. I have seen it. It seems that he cooked this meal today."

"That's right. I know you're coming. Xiaojie has been busy all day."

Manager Qin smiled and looked at Tang Jie: "you want to come to the Wei family, I can understand. But you should know that it's hard to enter the Wei family. First tell me what you want to enter the Wei family for."

After thinking for a while, Tang Jie replied: "I want to enter the Wei family. First, I want to earn some money to supplement the two elders. He saved me. I want to repay my kindness. On the other hand, I envy brother Wu Xing for following the young master of the Wei family to the moon washing college. If I can, I hope I can use my own efforts..."

Manager Qin nodded: "very well, you didn't lie."

The world has never been fair.

There are only 1500 places in the moon washing college each year, and I don't know how many people have broken their heads and tried to squeeze in.

However, for ordinary people, it is difficult to ascend to heaven, but for those noble people, it is often only a simple and extremely small matter. Some large families can even easily get multiple places, and these extra places are often used for the servants.

This is because all the major sects have regulations that no servant is allowed to enter the college. Therefore, in order to ensure that the children's lives are not wronged, the aristocrats of the aristocratic families often come up with compromise methods, such as sending the servant as a student, which is clearly a student but actually a servant, that is, accompanying them.

Of course, it's not just serving. The servants have the opportunity to cultivate immortals because of the family. They must also be grateful to the family. Even if they have made achievements in the future, they will often continue to serve the family.

Most of the more than ten immortals raised by the Jin family come from this way. Their loyalty is higher than that of external employees. It can be said that they share the same prosperity with the family.

Because of its high economic status, Lingzhou has made a lot of contributions to the moon washing school. Therefore, it can obtain 120 places from the moon washing college every year, and 40 of these 120 places are in Canglong Prefecture.

These 40 places are usually divided by the five big families first, and the rest are robbed by those outsiders.

The Wei family can have one quota each year, which can be accumulated through mutual replacement. In this way, multiple quotas can be obtained at one time. Usually, one direct lineage and two to three servants are selected.

Therefore, being able to become a servant of a large family can be said to have the opportunity to ascend to the sky.

This is also the reason why the Tang robber took great pains to enter the Wei family.

Today, the eldest young master of the Wei family has successfully entered the school, but it is said that his entry into the country is not good, and his chances of entering the realm of escape from the world are small. That is to say, he cannot finish his studies, and he is only a spiritual disciple all his life.

Although spiritual disciples are also practitioners, they can use magic, but they are still mortal, with limited life and limited ability.

If the Wei family wants to maintain the long-term development of the family, it must have its own true immortal. At least, it must be a spiritual master. Therefore, the hope is placed on the young master. Even if he can't, and his accompanying reading can be completed, it is also good. He is also half of his family. Generally speaking, for such people, the major families often adopt the means of marriage.

It is for this reason that, despite the low status of the servants, once they become accompanying readers, the family is also good for them to win over the people.

The young master Wei Tianchong is 11 years old this year. He can enter school in a few years.

This is the opportunity and the only chance for Tang Jie to enter the moon washing college!

But this is not a secret, and many people know it.

For this reason, it is never difficult for a large family to recruit servants, especially those at the age of Tang Jie who can just enter the college. Every year, I don't know how many people want to enter the college with their relationship and money. Some extreme people are willing to enter the college even if they don't pay money. What they want is an opportunity.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to enter the guard's house. In addition to being innocent, you also have to have connections. The purpose of entering the Wei family is not a secret. There is no need to hide the Tang robbery, let alone hide it.

As for whether you can stand out and be selected as an attendant after you enter, it depends on the Tang Dynasty.

For the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy to stand out from the many candidates, but it was much easier than killing one hundred thousand people.

Speaking of his own knowledge, he is also an adult. If he can't even compete with a group of small children, then he can't be immortal.

At this moment, upon hearing the answer of Tang Jie, the administrator Qin nodded with satisfaction: "since this is the case, I will keep it in mind. Now the guard house is not short of people for the time being. You can wait and wait. When the opportunity comes, I will recommend you. As for whether you can succeed, it depends on your own performance."

"Thank you, Butler Qin!" Tang Jie bowed excitedly to the end.

With Qin yuan's recommendation, he had a chance to get started.

For the Tang Dynasty, there is still a long way to go, but in any case, there is a glimmer of dawn.
