Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 26: Not a good secretary

After recuperating for about ten days, Tang Jie finally "recovered", and the bottle of elixir was completely exhausted - greed for ink was something that started from childhood, and Tang Jie was very interested in worthless objects such as wire shelves. I'm tired of being greedy, and I'm happy that my level of greed can reach a higher level.

When the wife here got the news that Tang Jie had recovered, she asked Shi Yue to bring Tang Jie to see her.

Different from the past, this time it was not only his wife who met Tang Jie, but also the head of the Wei family, Wei Danbai, and the spiritual master Lu Chenyang who rescued Wei Tianchong when he fell off the cliff.

Wei Danbai is the kind of person who is rigid, serious and difficult to get along with at first glance. There is almost no smile on his square and square face, and there is only seriousness, silence and seriousness. He is very suitable for this job. A large portrait was hung on the city gate tower.

"Tang Jie has met the master, madam, and Master Lu Xian!" After entering the room, Tang Jie first greeted the three of them.

"Sit down." Wei Zheng Shufeng said to Tang Jie with a smile. She had a good impression of Tang Jie, so she spoke the most kindly.

"The master and his wife are here, and the little one dare not sit down."

"You have just recovered from your new injury, so you don't have to be polite." As the wife said, she asked a servant to move a stool for Tang Jie, and Tang Jie sat down.

Seeing Tang Jie sit down, his wife said, "I wronged you last time. You did a good job, but Chong'er is ignorant. I have called you here this time to reward you based on your merits."

While saying that, Rouge already held out a plate with ten silver ingots in it.

Tang Jie knew that this silver ingot was worth ten taels of silver. The reward of one hundred taels of silver was really not light.

Tang Jie wanted to say something polite, but Wei Danbai over there said: "Don't refuse the reward. The rules of the Wei Mansion are that you should be rewarded for your merits, and punished for your mistakes. This is what you deserve. ”

Hey, it goes without saying that you are the only one in the world who understands such a simple truth, right?

Tang Jie sighed while complaining in his heart.

He knew that Wei Danbai wanted to clarify the matter, and obviously did not intend to get involved in this matter, let alone owe Tang Jie a favor. If he didn't accept it, Wei Danbai might think that he wanted more, which would be bad, so he would have to accept it.

But this is okay. With these one hundred taels of silver, I can buy some good medicine for my second elder to take care of his body.

At this time, the wife continued: "I have found out the situation. It was Shi Mo's idea to go out for a drink. It was Shi Mo's suggestion to go up the mountain at night. Even the whipping of you was Shi Mo's instigation. This little bastard, if you don't supervise me, The young master is studying hard, but he is causing trouble every day, which is really outrageous. For the sake of the wet nurse, I will not expel him from the house, but he cannot stay with the young master."

Having said this, the wife took a sip of tea, cleared her throat and continued: "Since Shi Mo is away, someone has to be found to replace him. I plan to let you take his place."

Tang Jie stole a glance at Wei Danbai and saw that he frowned slightly, as if he didn't like this decision very much. Knowing that this matter was probably his wife's own decision.

Wei Zheng Shufeng is a very strong and shrewd woman. She is loved by the old man and his wife in the house, and she is also quite prestigious outside the house. She originally came from a noble family. Although the Zheng family is not as prominent as the Wei family, it is still an established family. Wei Zheng Shufeng knew books and etiquette, and after marrying into the Wei family, he even managed the family well, making the Wei family more prosperous.

You can understand this just by seeing how easily she can command the spiritual masters in the family. Wei Zheng Shufeng is directly responsible for the living conditions of these spiritual masters. As the head of the household, she actually controls the most important things in the family. strength. Those spiritual masters listened to her more than they listened to Wei Danbai.

It’s no wonder that when it comes to being a person, Wei Zheng Shufeng is indeed much better than Wei Danbai.

Tang Jie asked himself that if he had to choose between the master and his wife, he would be more willing to serve his wife.

But after Wei Zheng Shufeng said this, Tang Jie thought for a while and replied: "Thank you madam for your kindness, but I am afraid that I am not suitable to take over as Shi Mo for the time being. Please think again, madam."

Wei Zheng Shufeng did not expect that he would refuse. Even spiritual master Wei Danbai, Lu, and Qin Butler Yanzhi who were beside him were all surprised and looked at Tang Jie together.

"You don't want to?" Wei Zheng Shufeng asked.

Tang Jie hurriedly replied: "It's not that I don't want to, but I killed the young master's horse. I'm afraid that the young master still has some resentment towards me, so he may not be able to fulfill his duty as a companion. Reading is a big thing for the young master, if it's because of this This kind of thing has delayed the young master's studies, and I can't help but feel guilty. If you can't do something well, then don't do it."

Wei Danbai and his wife were obviously stunned.

"Some things, if you can't do them well, don't do them..." Wei Zheng Shufeng chewed on what Tang Jie said carefully: "Well said!"

She suddenly chuckled and looked at her husband: "Master, do you still think I've seen the wrong person?"

Wei Danbai did not answer, but Master Lu smiled and responded: "My wife has always been very discerning. This boy is not deep-minded, but has a precocious mind, and he knows what he is doing and what he is not doing. Advance and retreat, know the choice, very good, very good!"

With Master Lu Ling to smooth things over, Wei Danbai said: "But he is right. Chong'er is not sensible. I'm afraid he still has some grudge against Tang Jie in this matter. The current situation is not suitable for him to accompany him for the time being. .Although Shi Mo made mistakes, he served Chong'er wholeheartedly, so just give him another chance."

"You have so many worries!" Wei Zheng Shufeng rolled her eyes at her husband: "In this case, then give Shi Mo another chance, but if he dares to make mistakes again, he will not be lenient."

Then he turned to Tang Jie: "You have just recovered from your new injury, and your body bones are not strong yet. You should go home and rest for a day before coming back."

This happened just like that.

When sending Tang Jie out of the house, Manager Qin couldn't help but complain: "Oh, you kid, what can I say about you? The young master's companionship is something that no one can ask for. But you gave up like this, really..."

Tang Jie smiled: "Aren't I afraid that it will delay the young master's studies?"

"Don't do this to me." Manager Qin snorted: "Tell me, do you have any other ideas?"

Tang Jie still trusted Manager Qin.

After thinking about it for a moment, Tang Jie replied: "There are indeed some other reasons why I don't want to accompany you as a reading companion. As you know, studying with a young master has always been the most thankless task. You If you urge me, the young master will annoy you. If you don’t guide me, my wife will dislike you."

Manager Qin nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although everyone was jealous of this position, it was not easy to get. It would take a lot of effort to satisfy both parties.

Tang Jie asked himself that he could still do it, but it would take too much time and energy.

He is now studying formations every day and has gained quite a lot. There is really no need to do this thankless companion reading.

Tang Jie continued: "In a few days, it will be time for the young master's assessment. Judging from the young master's current situation, Uncle Qin, do you think he can do it?"

Guanshi Qin thought for a while and sighed: "He, if he can write a complete article, it is already a great virtue for his ancestors!"

"So, if I were to be a companion reader now, wouldn't I be burdened for Shi Mo by then?"

Manager Qin laughed loudly: "I told you that you must have evil intentions! You are right. Now is really not a good time to go to Xiyue Academy. But if you want to go to Xiyue Academy, you must always be a companion. What to do."

"That's not necessarily the case." Tang Jie replied leisurely: "It seems that no family has a rule that you have to be a personal servant to become a servant, right?"

Being a personal servant is like being a secretary to a leader.

It is easy to get promoted when you are a secretary, but who said that you can get promoted only by being a secretary?

Tang Jie, who has already made a name for himself in gardening, is like a powerful cadre with political achievements. His promotion path is already in sight, why should he insist on getting the secretary position?

If you really go to that position and don't make any achievements, your past contributions will be wiped out.

It is precisely because he understands this truth that Tang Jie has no interest in companion reading at all.

Manager Qin was stunned: "That's true, but the personal servant is closer to the young master after all, and the young master's intentions are directly related to your future, so it is always better to be close."

Tang Jie replied meaningfully: "In terms of servant education, the young master's intention is indeed very important, but the one who really has the decision-making power is not the young master, but the wife! As long as the wife supports it, then you are a brush Even those who work on the toilet can learn from others! So I don’t worry about whether I can win or not. Sometimes, not fighting is the best way to fight!"

Manager Qin didn't expect Tang Jie to say these words at all, and was dumbfounded.

Perhaps because of being the young master's servant, many people have long regarded attracting the young master's attention as a top priority, but have ignored the things behind it.

But Tang Jie wouldn't.

Anyone who has been in the officialdom knows one thing very clearly, that is, you have to see clearly who is really making the decision!

Only by following the real people in power can life have a future.

It's a pity that it is such a simple thing, but many people don't understand it.

When it comes to the young master's enrollment, the young master's intention is very important, but it is the wife who really has the final say. Even Wei Danbai has to listen to his wife's opinion!

Without his wife’s trust, Shi Mo is just a decoration even if he stays as a companion!

The reason why she can tolerate Shi Mo now is because Wei Tianchong is still in the Wei family and she is in charge of him. Shi Mo can't do anything big, so he can only give face to the old man in the house.

In the future, when you go to Beijing, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, you will have to face many things alone. There is no way that my wife will leave her son to a servant whom she is worried about. In such a big matter, no one will lose face. use!

Thus losing his wife's trust, Shi Mo has basically lost his qualifications as a servant.

It's a pity that he hasn't understood this yet, and is still fighting for the position of companion, trying to keep his hope by fawning over the young master, but he doesn't know that it will only make his wife more annoying.

On this issue, not to mention those boys, even Manager Qin didn't realize it. It wasn't until Tang Jie reminded him that he suddenly realized it, and the look in Tang Jie's eyes was different.

Qin Yuan shook his head and sighed: "After all, I still underestimate you."

Tang Jie leaned over and replied: "No matter what happens to Tang Jie in the future, he will never forget the kindness of the two elders and Manager Qin!"

Scheming people don't necessarily mean they are ruthless.

Although Tang Jie deceived and used the two elders of the Wu family and Manager Qin, he was truly grateful for the care they gave him. Therefore, these words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and every word was sincere. Manager Qin I was very happy to hear this.

In the days that followed, life returned to normal.

Tang Jie still does his work in the garden every day and practices the formation.

Over a period of time, his formation level has greatly improved, but it is mainly reflected in the illusion formation. However, because his spiritual eyes were not opened and he lacked spiritual energy when setting up the formation, Tang Jie worked **** the connection of the formation patterns, and gradually developed some of his own unique style, but he still couldn't see the specific direction for the future.

In addition, Tang Jie has another habit, which is to run every morning.

I ran from the Wei Mansion to Yinglong Mountain, looking for a deserted land, doing weightlifting, squats and other training. At the same time, the Hidden Symbol Sutra in the body was running through the heart method, breathing out the spiritual energy. After the heart method was completed, I returned to Wei. The government begins a day's work.

Occasionally, he would see other servants doing some heavy physical work, and he would take the initiative to help. Taking advantage of the opportunity of helping others, he continued to practice his own Hidden Image Sutra, and he also won praise from many servants. This made his popularity in Wei Mansion getting better and better.

Day by day, Tang Jie's body grew taller, and he became stronger and stronger, with muscles on his body. These muscles were not as exaggerated and amazing as those of bodybuilders, and they only gave people a sunny and healthy image.

When the young master has something to do, he will often come over to see his work~IndoMTL.com~ but usually he just looks at him from a distance and then leaves without saying anything.

This puts the relationship between the two in a very delicate state, and no one can tell what the situation is.

As for Shimo Shimeng, he has become much more honest after the horse stabbing incident. He no longer dares to cause trouble, and Jingxinyuan has ushered in a rare period of peace.

The only bad thing is probably that after the incident of stabbing horses, Tang Jie got a nickname, "Tang Jie of stabbing horses".

This is his second name after "that Tang Jie who took three monthly payments" after he first entered the Wei Mansion.

To be honest, Tang Jie didn't like it, because it was equivalent to reminding Wei Tianchong every day that Tang Jie killed his horse, which would make him uncomfortable.

Tang Jie knew that this was Shi Mo's plan, but there was nothing he could do about it.

No, it’s not impossible.

Since you can't wash away your own problems, then expect the other party to be even worse.

Wei Tianchong’s assessment will come soon.

As a result of the exam, he was unexpectedly scolded by the professor with eight words: "Ignorant of learning and skills, making people laugh!"

When the wife looked at this evaluation and then at the nonsense article written by Wei Tianchong, in addition to beating her son, her opinion of Shi Mo was extremely low. Poor Shi Mo himself I don’t know, but I still try my best to please the young master every day.

The days passed so peacefully, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Today Tang Jie is still taking care of the flowers and plants in his flower garden. Now he is familiar with every plant and tree here, and he can pick them up at his fingertips, and the fun comes naturally.

At this moment, Tang Jie saw Shi Yue appearing in the distance.

"Sister Shiyue, why do you have time to come to Jingxin Garden today?" Tang Jie asked with a smile.

Shi Yue, however, looked solemn until she came to Tang Jie and whispered a few words to his side.

"What did you say?" Tang Jie's expression suddenly changed.
