Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 42: Commission

At this point, there was no longer any suspense about choosing a servant. The wife finally decided that Shi Meng and Tang Jie would be responsible.

After the decision was made, some people were happy and some were disappointed.

Everyone gathered around to congratulate Tang Jie and Shi Meng. Even Manager Qin received congratulations from others.

The Wu family has two outstanding men, and Manager Qin is praised one after another for his keen eyesight and understanding of people.

Someone who reacted smartly has secretly left the house to report the news to the Wu family. The second eldest brother of the Wu family was overjoyed, and the reward must be indispensable.

This day has become a day for all servants to cheer and celebrate. Just like the imperial examination in ancient times and the draft in this world, servant education is also a common dream in the hearts of mortals.

Tang Jie and Shi Meng were surrounded by people and were treated like this. They had never been treated like this in their lives. Once they stepped into the Dragon Gate, they had already gotten over the addiction to stardom.

Unlike successful people, who are in the spotlight, losers are ignored.

When Tang Jie went through a circle of congratulations, he found that Shi Mo had left the hall at some point and disappeared without a trace.

No one knows when he left.

He was wondering when he heard Zheng Shufeng say from behind him: "Tang Jie, come here."

At this time, the master and Master Lu had left, and Zheng Shufeng was the only headmaster left in the hall.

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

"My wife is here, I don't dare to sit down."

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

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

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

Zheng Shufeng looked at Tang Jie carefully and saw that he looked upright and was not complacent after getting the position of servant student. She was deeply satisfied and nodded and said, "It has been almost three years since you came to the Wei Mansion. In these three years, , I have also watched you work, and I know you quite well. Do you know why I chose you to join the government back then?"

"Ma'am, is it because of the three money matters?" Tang Jie didn't know why Zheng Shufeng asked this, so he answered carefully.

Zheng Shufeng smiled and shook his head: "Your filial piety to the two elders of the Wu family was indeed the most important reason why I chose you, but in addition there is another important reason, 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, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Jie couldn't help but have the shadow of Xu Muyang appear in front of his eyes. Thinking of his experience of traveling through mountains and rivers from Anyang to Canglong Mansion during that time, he couldn't help but reply: " Those days were the gloomiest years of my life. I was walking alone in the lonely mountains and wilderness, with not much money on me, and no idea where the road ahead was... Sometimes I wonder how I walked. After going through that long road, we came to Canglong Mansion."

To go all the way under the pursuit of Tianshen Palace, Tang Jie did suffer a lot during that time, enduring hunger and hardship. Not only did he move forward hard, he also had to beware of possible dangers anytime and anywhere.

For a twelve-year-old child to be able to come to Canglong Mansion alive under such conditions is a miracle in itself.

Tang Jie never said this, and no one realized this. Unexpectedly, Zheng Shufeng discovered something unusual in it, which made Tang Jie immediately feel like he had met a close friend.

"It is indeed not easy..." Zheng Shufeng also nodded and sighed: "If Chong'er could have your resilience and perseverance, I wouldn't only open four doors. Your Jade Gate rank five is not your talent. It’s astonishing, but it’s the reward that your past experience has given you. Even among the servants of the Wei Mansion, I’m afraid you can’t find this kind of experience.”

Hearing this, Tang Jie suddenly realized 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 let him suffer some hardships. But after all, I am a woman and a mother, and how many mothers can really be cruel enough to make their children suffer? What about being tired, especially the kind that may cost you half your life? Do you know how distressed I am when I open the door to Chong'er today and see him crying?"

"The little one understands how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."

"Poor parents in the world..." Zheng Shufeng chewed on these words, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Well said. Chong'er has been pampered since he was a child and has never suffered. However, Wanquan City is thousands of miles away from Canglong Mansion. Yao, when he enters school, I won't be able to protect him even if I want to. My mother is worried that if I don't find someone I can really rely on, will I still count on those losers? So the first thing I do is Please take good care of me, Jia Chong'er. Although Shi Meng is a diligent child, he is still much worse than you."

Although the origin of Tang Jie is somewhat unclear, he was able to come to Canglong Mansion from Anyang alone. His ability to live independently and handle things made Zheng Shufeng value him.

For Zheng Shufeng, having a successful career as a servant and repaying her master's family has never been her most important thing.

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

As long as the child is good, everything is fine.

From this perspective, among the two major meanings of the existence of Pu Xue, its meaning of "accompanying service" is far greater than "investing in the future" in Zheng Shufeng's eyes.

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

As Tang Jie said, in the process of chasing goals, 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.

For this reason, no matter how good Shi Mo's inner demon is, if he does not have the ability to take good care of the young master Wei Tianchong, Zheng Shufeng will not choose him. In Zheng Shufeng's eyes, "the one who can take good care of the young master" is Her first criterion for selecting people!

So even if Tang Jie did not have the fifth rank of Yumen, Zheng Shufeng would still choose him based on his ability to survive and deal with things. In this regard, even Tang Jie did not expect it.

At this moment, when he heard Zheng Shufeng say this, Tang Jie suddenly realized.

Although he thought of Zheng Shufeng's importance to this matter, he ultimately did not realize that her importance to it far outweighed all other considerations.

Discovering a problem but not paying attention to it is equivalent to not discovering the problem. Tang Jie felt that he had made a big mistake - if he had realized this problem earlier, he could have given the promised return when he made the devil's wish Set it smaller.

So he has actually paid the price for this mistake.

It's not his fault. These days, he faces mostly underage children.

Although his opponent's weakness allowed him to win easily, it also failed to stimulate Tang Jie's desire to fight, so he inevitably ignored it.

So the real excitement will always appear when you encounter a significant opponent.

In the past three years, he has been dragged down by his incompetent opponents. The only bright spot is probably that the appearance of Ji Ziqian cheered up Tang Jie.

Fortunately, Xiyue Academy has a large number of talents, and the competition on the road is cruel and cruel. I believe there will be many exciting things waiting for me in the future.

"Madam, please rest assured, Tang Jie will definitely take good care of the young master." Tang Jie responded hurriedly.

Zheng Shufeng added: "In addition, Chong'er is still a little young after all. He was ignorant at the time and even whipped you. I was here at that time, so I didn't worry about you being wronged or getting into any trouble. I, Zheng Shufeng, I can afford it. But after leaving this home and going to the foot of Tianzhi, the important land of the Immortal Family, if he causes any trouble again, even I may not be able to protect him. If the intrusion is too big, it is possible to destroy the family and the clan. . So the second thing is to ask you to help me keep an eye on Chong'er and not let him cause any trouble that he shouldn't cause."

She said these words solemnly, and Tang Jie knew they were not lies.

Those who can enter Xiyue Academy are either servants with a background, nobles, geniuses, or simply immortals. Anyway, no one is easy to mess with.

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

However, it is difficult for young people to control their temperament. God knows when something will happen, so at this moment Zheng Shufeng said and actually gave Tang Jie a salute.

This gift fell in everyone's eyes, and everyone was shocked. Tang Jie even jumped up to avoid it: "My wife is too polite, and I don't dare to accept it."

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

Take good care of your 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 done, all the investment in Tang Jie will be worthwhile. As for what Tang Jie promised , that's just interest, with or without it, at least she, Zheng Shufeng, doesn't care.

In response to Zheng Shufeng's request, Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "Madam, I can agree to this first thing and do my best to do my duty. But there are some things in the young master's behavior that I cannot stop after all."

"I know." Zheng Shufeng nodded: "You are a servant after all. He may not listen to what you say. The incident at Yinglong Mountain is proof. At that time, you could kill the horse to stop it, but there will be many things in the future, but you may not listen. There are horses that I can kill for you. Anyway, since I have chosen to trust you, I must trust you to the end... Rouge, go get the family law."

Next to her, Rouge hurried to the front of the hall, took off a whip and gave it to his wife. ~IndoMTL.com~ This whip is not the rattan whip that Wei Tianchong used to beat Tang Jie, but a special torture instrument made of fine green bamboo knots. It will not hurt the roots when hit, but it can definitely hurt people to death. Speaking of it, It's just a whip that will never be forgotten.

At the same time, it is also a tool used by the Wei family to enforce family rules and punishments. It represents the majesty of the head of the Wei family, and no descendant of the Wei family can resist.

Zheng Shufeng grabbed the bamboo whip and handed it to Tang Jie: "When I get to the academy, I will officially hand it over to you. If Chong'er dares to do anything treacherous again, you will use this family method to whip it. Him! I believe 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, I no longer have to worry about Wei Tian being stubborn and doing something stupid.

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

Looking at the 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 had not been squeezed out at the beginning, then he would probably be the one who failed to be elected now. Thinking of this, he was sweating in his heart.

But one thing he already understood was that among the three masters and servants in the future, his status would definitely not be comparable to that of Tang Jie.

This is... really disappointing!

While the crowd was marveling, a servant outside suddenly ran in and shouted in panic: "Madam, madam, something serious has happened."

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

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

"What's wrong with him?" Zheng Shufeng asked impatiently.

"He caught the young master!"
