Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 29: Rules
Ji Ziqian got up early in the morning, and Ji Weilanxin personally arranged his son's clothes, and did not forget to tell him: "I have wronged you by asking you to be a servant this time, but it is difficult to enter the immortal gate, and there is nothing else. Method. When you see you quarreling with your brother, remember not to contradict him and have a good relationship with him."
"Mom, you have said this at least twenty times." Ji Ziqian replied proudly: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."
As the young master of the Ji family, Ji Ziqian indeed has something to be proud of.
He asked the spiritual master to open the Jade Gate for him last year. The fourth rank of the Jade Gate is considered a mid-level qualification. The most important thing is that attacking the Jade Gate requires perseverance and perseverance. Ji Ziqian can do this. , which is rare among young masters, and something to be proud of.
In addition, he is also a good person on weekdays, knowledgeable and polite, and he is much smarter than Wei Tianchong. Therefore, in his opinion, taking down Wei Tianchong is a piece of cake.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed not difficult.
After packing their clothes, the two of them officially went out, asking someone to lead them to the Jingxin Garden. Qingyangxuan is far away from Jingxin Garden, and you have to pass through many places along the way. Ji Ziqian hasn't been here for a long time. When he occasionally visited the Wei Mansion, he was surprised by the grandeur of the Wei Mansion. The boy was a shrewd man and took the initiative to talk about each house and household and explain the situation of the Wei Mansion to Ji Ziqian. Ji Ziqian was new here, so he naturally attached great importance to this information, and was very grateful to the young man.
But this way, the speed is a bit slow. However, I always meet various people along the way, including servants, maids, and even stewards from various houses. Everyone is extremely polite. After meeting them, I After saying hello, the speed slowed down a bit.
After walking a little further, we came to the Yi Nianju where the old man lived. He only saw the old man boxing in the yard. Since he saw him, Ji Ziqian had to go up and say hello.
When the old man saw his grandson coming, he greeted him again and waited for a while before letting him go.
However, by the time we arrived at Jingxin Garden, more than half an hour had passed.
When I arrived at Jingxin Garden, I was told that Wei Tianchong was in class and should not be disturbed.
Wei Lan was very dissatisfied: "Didn't someone say that they would come to see the young master today so that Chong'er would not have to go to school?"
She is Wei Tianchong's aunt, so she doesn't need to be too polite with Wei Tianchong's words.
Shi Mengpi replied with a smile: "The young master did wait. After waiting for half an hour, he saw that there was really no one to wait for, so he thought the two of you wouldn't come, so he went to class."
He didn't say that Wei Tianchong was so anxious after waiting for a long time that he even smashed a chair. Wei Lanxin and Ji Ziqian didn't notice the problem.
Since he was late, Wei Tianchong could not be blamed.
Fortunately, Shi Mo said: "But since you two are here, you always have to say hello to the young master, so why not let the younger one take you two to the academy,"
Thinking about it, Ji Ziqian replied politely: "In that case, I'll trouble you little brother."
Although he came from a noble family, he also knew that he came here to ask for something, so he was polite to the servants here. However, he still disdained to imitate Tang Jie in giving money and gifts.
"You two, please come with me." Shi Meng had already taken Wei Lanxin and Ji Ziqian to the academy.
When I arrived at the academy, I saw a gentleman teaching in the academy. There were more than ten people sitting below, all boys from the Wei family, but I didn't know which one was Wei Tianchong.
Shi Meng pointed at Wei Tianchong who was sitting there and said, "That is the young master. Don't bother the two of you during class time. Just say hello here."
As he spoke, he coughed into the room.
When Shi Mo heard this, he looked up and saw three people standing outside. Knowing that it was Ji Ziqian and the others, he poked Wei Tianchong with his arm, and then pouted outside.
Wei Tianchong looked up and was eye to eye with Ji Ziqian.
However, Shi Mo's movements were obviously too big. When the teacher saw it, he grabbed the ruler in his hand and pointed it at Wei Tianchong: "Study hard and don't look around!"
This time the ruler hit Wei Tian on the head, causing him to shrink his head in pain and not dare to look again.
The ancients did not pay attention to happy teaching or corporal punishment of students.
The teaching position itself is a job that qualifies you to beat the young master, and the teaching position of the Wei family is a famous scholar in Canglong Mansion, with high prestige, and has taught several famous figures.
Don't say you are a young master of the Wei family, even if you are a young master of the Jin family, Zhang family, Gu family, or even a young master of the Xian family, you will still be punished if you dare not pay attention to the class.
So when the ruler went down, even Wei Tianchong did not dare to resist, but in his heart he hated Ji Ziqian and gritted his teeth.
After Wei Tianchong got angry yesterday, he thought that he was his cousin and there was no need to care too much, so he had already backed down a little. But now he is being tricked one after another, and his image of Ji Ziqian is completely bad. .
Ji Ziqian was completely unaware of this first impression of failure. In his opinion, it was normal for him to not listen carefully in class and be lectured by his teacher, so he just smiled and said: "It seems that this is really the wrong time. In this case, why not Let’s go back to the Jingxin Garden and wait. By the way, Shi Meng, how long does Sir usually teach?”
"Well..." Shi Meng looked confused: "But it's hard to say. My husband is not always punctual in teaching. Sometimes the time is long, sometimes the time is short. When the mood strikes, there are times when he teaches until night. ”
"That's it." Ji Ziqian thought for a moment: "In that case, let's go back to Qingyangxuan first. If the young master finishes class early, please let me know."
"That's natural." Shi Meng replied with a smile.
Of course, Ji Ziqian will not get any notification.
Two days after entering the Wei Mansion, Ji Ziqian's only achievement was to meet Wei Tianchong from a distance and even caused him to be beaten.
————————————
On the third day after entering the mansion.
Ji Ziqian got up early that day, tidied his clothes, and avoided another empty trip. Wei Lanxin was about to accompany her son when she didn't expect Yanzhi to come and invite her aunt for a meeting on her wife's behalf.
Zheng Shufeng didn't know that Ji Ziqian didn't talk to his son yesterday. He just thought that everyone had met each other and was familiar with each other. There was no need for Wei Lanxin to accompany him every time. Plus Yanzhi suggested that he called Wei Lan Let’s go together to accompany the old lady.
Wei Lanxin heard that Zheng Shufeng asked her to accompany the old lady. She wanted to say no, but she didn't know how to say it. Fortunately, Ji Ziqian said: "Mom, just go and accompany the old lady. I will go and see Brother Chong myself." ."
Wei Lan felt a little worried after all, so she had to say: "In that case, let Chai Si accompany you."
Since Ji Ziqian was not suitable to bring servants this time, Wei Lanxin only brought his personal maid Ning Cui and a groom Chai Si. At this moment, he could only let Chai Si take over.
This time, the boy from yesterday led the way. Finally, yesterday's incident did not happen again today. We arrived at the Jingxin Garden smoothly. Wei Tianchong happened to be admiring the flowers in the garden.
Seeing Wei Tianchong, Ji Ziqian walked up to him with a smile: "Brother Chong, we haven't seen you for two years, how are you doing lately?"
For Ji Ziqian, he came here to be a servant. It was really just a last resort. In his heart, it was impossible to think of himself as a human being. This was also his only weakness, but this weakness was generally nothing. People dare to target and exploit.
For this reason, he came here today with the intention of getting closer to Wei Tianchong by reminiscing about old friendships. He only talked about love and not responsibility. This was actually the same as Tang Jie's attitude towards Xu Muyang. There is nothing wrong with it.
It's a pity that his thoughts have been clearly seen by Tang Jie, and they reached Wei Tianchong's ears through Shi Mo a day ago. Coupled with what happened yesterday, Wei Tianchong really doesn't have a good impression of him. Yan, so seeing him coming at this moment, Ji Ziqian just talked to Shi Mo beside him and ignored him. Ji Ziqian's hand that was about to take Wei Tianchong stretched out halfway. Seeing that Wei Tianchong didn't respond, Ji Ziqian had to touch his head in embarrassment. , and shrank back.
"...By the way, the wolf hair in the study is also going to be replaced. Remember to..."
"It has been changed, Master. It is your favorite silver needle from Ziyanzhai."
"You're still smart." Wei Tianchong said with a smile, then turned around and glanced at Ji Ziqian, and said in a very ordinary and normal tone: "Hey, isn't this brother Ziqian? I haven't seen you for a long time. Today Why did you think of running over to see me?"
Ji Ziqian smiled and said: "Don't you know why I am so angry? My mother came here the day before yesterday and formally made a request to the Wei family, hoping to get a quota for admission. The Wei family has a quota every year, and the Ji family and the Wei family are With such a close relationship, it is better to give it to one’s own people than to give it to outsiders.”
What he said was normal, but unfortunately it was inappropriate because "outsiders" were all here at the moment.
Not to mention serving Mo and serving dreams, Tang Jie and other servants were also there. When they heard this, they all snorted in their hearts.
Wei Tian rushed to the scene and was not angry about this, but said coldly: "No one informed me, why do I have to know?"
Ji Ziqian was stunned, hearing that there was something wrong with these words.
It has been two days since the Ji family came to Wei Mansion. Yesterday, someone notified Wei Tianchong. It is absolutely impossible for Wei Tianchong not to know. What he said can only mean one thing, that is, because of the previous He was dissatisfied after not seeing him for two days.
But this is not a big deal. You can understand it with an explanation. Ji Ziqian hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, my cousin misunderstood. We are arranged to live in Qingyangxuan, so we live a bit far away, and it is inconvenient to travel. Besides, we are arranged to live in Qingyangxuan. In addition, my mother was tired from traveling and needed to rest early, so she didn’t come that day. Why didn’t she come here specially yesterday..."
He didn't mention yesterday. It was fine. When he mentioned yesterday, Wei Tianchong thought of the ruler. He felt that his head was still aching slightly, and his face immediately darkened: "Yongkang City is not close to Canglong Mansion. For For a quota, didn’t the Ji family come eagerly? Why is the Qingyang Pavilion of my Wei family further away from my Jingxin Garden than Yongkang is from Canglong Mansion? I didn’t know that my Wei family was already so big. ”
A group of boys laughed at the same time.
Ji Ziqian heard something was wrong and was about to explain again when Wei Tianchong said: "Although the Wei family has quotas every year, there are also people asking for them every year. All relationships need to be managed, and there are always some people who cannot be offended. , there are also many relatives and friends who come to seek opportunities. There is only one quota, but what they want is to get over a hundred every year, so not just any cat or dog can come and take it. I don’t know what Ziqian is doing. Come and get this quota?"
Ji Ziqian was furious after hearing this.
He knew that he had offended Wei Tianchong unintentionally, but he didn't know how deeply he had offended him. His mothers, Wei Lanxin and Wei Danbai, are brothers and sisters of the same mother. They are cousins. They cannot be said to be cats and dogs whose origins are unknown. Wei Tianchong said this, which has already reduced him to being with those who dislike poverty and love. The rich distant relatives are on the same level.
His Ji family is considered a well-known family in Yongkang. When Wei Lanxin married his father, the Wei family was not so prominent. The two families were well-matched at the time, so why are they like cats and dogs now?
However, he also knew that he could not offend Wei Tianchong now, so he could only hold back his anger and answer: "The Ji family did not get the quota for nothing. Ziqian came here this time and entered as a servant student."
"So that's it." Wei Tianchong laughed: "Then I blamed you wrongly."
Ji Ziqian was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought that everything would be fine once the matter was explained clearly. Unexpectedly, Wei Tianchong clapped his hands the next moment and said: "Since you are a servant, does that mean you are here to be a servant? That's fine. , Shi Mo, teach him the rules and let him know how to do things in the future."
"What?" Ji Ziqian stayed on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
Wei Tianchong turned around and left.
Shi Mo walked up with a smile, stood in front of Ji Ziqian and said: "Master Ji...oh, no, I should call you Ziqian now. There are not many rules in the house, but every one of them is important. Personality As a servant, you must first understand the superiority of elders and juniors, so the first rule is that when you see the young master in the future, you can no longer call Chongdi or cousin, but like us, call the young master..."
Ji Ziqian was completely stupid.
Shi Mo's voice continued: "Besides, as a servant, what's going on with a servant? The follower behind Ziqian had muddy legs that came out of nowhere, and he was so sloppy. , it’s better to let him out of the house as soon as possible, so as not to dirty the ground of this Jingxin Garden, our Guard House cannot afford to lose this person..."
——————————
Here Wei Tian rushed back into the room, stuck out his tongue and said, "Shi Meng, was my performance just now okay?"
But the arrogance shown just now was gone.
"That's natural. The young master's performance is absolutely nothing to say. Anyone who sees him will say that the young master's words are reasonable and his advances and retreats are measured." Shi Meng took the opportunity to flatter him.
Wei Tianchong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. ~IndoMTL.com~ But do you think we have gone too far? He is also my cousin after all, and I always feel that if he calls me Young Master, Something is wrong."
Shi Meng smiled and said: "You didn't let him call you Master, you just asked him to learn the rules. I'm here to work as a servant. Isn't it normal for him to learn some basic rules? Even if he comes from outside. As a distinguished guest, I have to remind you which places you can go and which places you cannot go. As for the specific content of the rules, they are all taught by Shi Mo. What does it have to do with you? Shi Mo thought he asked him to call you Master ..."
"But how can I promise him when he calls me young master?"
"I'm used to it, I don't care, why do you say it's not Young Master? You open your mouth? He Ji Ziqian is here as a servant scholar. Please abide by the rules. If he is willing to call you Young Master, it can't be considered as breaking the rules, right? What do you have? Can’t bear it?”
"That's true." Wei Tianchong nodded: "Fortunately, my aunt is not here today. If she were here, I wouldn't be able to say this."
Wei Lanxin is his biological aunt, and there is no way he can do it if he asks his cousin to call him young master in front of his biological aunt and to perform the courtesy.
That's the same as the professor, who has the right to beat him.
People will have an innate psychological awe for all those who are qualified to beat them!
Shi Meng smiled and said: "Since you are here to be a servant, it is best not to see this family in the future. Rules are rules. If someone comes randomly, there will be no rules, so you must behave accordingly. What? So this rule, the young master of the Ji family must abide by it, and the wife of the Ji family must abide by it too!"
"Tell my aunt to obey the rules?" Wei Tianchong shouted: "Are you kidding, this is impossible!"
Shi Meng lowered his head and said, "My aunt naturally doesn't have to abide by the rules of the Jingxin Garden, but I still have to abide by the rules of the Wei Mansion."
