Standing in the hall, Ji Ziqian bowed to Wei Zheng Shufeng: "Ziqian has seen my aunt!"
Wei Zheng Shufeng sat on the top and looked at Ji Ziqian. Seeing that the young man had a clear eyebrow, he knew how to be polite, and was satisfied when he arrived, he asked softly, "How old is it?"
"Thirteen years old, the same year as Chong'er, two months older than Chong'er, why did my sister-in-law forget?" Qi Wei Zheng Shufeng was a little worse.
Her name is Wei Lanxin, a younger sister whom Wei Danbo married.
Wei Zheng Shufeng patted his forehead: "Oh, my memory is not good at this age. Ziqian hasn't come to our house for a long time, right?"
"Two years and four months." Ji Ziqian replied.
"Yeah, I really remember the days." His wife laughed.
"Being able to enter the home is something Ziqian has always longed for. It's just that he lives far away and it's inconvenient to come and go, but if you come once in a while, you will naturally remember it."
"Really a talking kid." The wife nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Wei Lanxin: "I think this kid is good."
"You think it's good too, so there is a way to do this?" Wei Lan smiled with open eyebrows.
Wei Zheng Shufeng was not in a hurry, but said leisurely: "But Ziqian is also a child of your Ji family at any rate. Will you give us Chong'er as a servant? Will he be too wronged?"
"No, no!" Wei Lan said with a wave of hands: "Ziqian can enter Wei's house. That is his blessing. We can't ask for it. We don't ask for anything else, but we can do everything we need. My family will do it on its own, as long as one quota is enough."
"How can it be done?" Hearing this, the wife was not happy, but frowned and said: "Since it is a servant school, the expenses should be paid by the Wei family. There is no reason to ask your family to pay."
Ji Ziqian hurriedly said: "If you can enter the academy under the guidance of aunt, Ziqian will be grateful for Dade, and you will be rewarded."
"This is too serious to say." The wife laughed: "It's all from your own family, so why don't you get anything to repay you. Sit down, sit down, don't be so polite. I'll take you to see the old man in a while. This kind of thing, it takes his old man to nod before..."
…
"So, the wife has already agreed?" Standing in the flower garden, Tang Jie asked in a deep voice.
"I was not there at the time, because Rouge told me about this, so the specifics were not clear, so I knew that I didn't directly agree, but pushed it to the old lady, but it seemed that it was going to be done." Sai Yue whispered.
"This is weird." Tang Jie was puzzled: "Isn't this something his wife can decide directly? Why did he push it to the old lady?"
"Where do I know."
Tang Jie thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only mutter to himself: "I think there is something wrong with it."
"What are you thinking about? I said that the place is almost taken away, so don't you worry?" Shiyue was curious to see his calmness.
Tang Jie replied indifferently: "It must be urgent. It should be Shi Mo Shimeng that they should be anxious first. Suddenly only one of the two places is left. I think the impact on them should be great, right?"
Shiyue covered her mouth and laughed: "Shimo has been very honest during this period, and may still feel that she has great hope. If you want to know the news now, I am afraid that you will have to cry. But anyway, there is only one place left, you and the waiter The hope of dreams has also become smaller, so you have to be careful!"
"I know, by the way, I haven't thank you for telling me about this." Tang Jie has already taken out some money and put it in the palm of Jiyue's hand.
Unexpectedly, Shiyue took her little hand, but she glared at him: "You are like a rouge, do you help you with money? Dumb!"
As he said, his face blushed, and he turned and left.
Tang Jie looked at Shiyue's back, couldn't help but stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Only the next moment, his face was covered with clouds.
He muttered to himself: "Ji Ziqian..."
He had heard of the Ji family.
The Ji family is a family in Yongkang City, Lingzhou. It can be regarded as an old family with deep roots in Yongkang. It has a longer history than the Wei family and is mainly engaged in the sale of silks.
But in the past ten years, the Ji family's silk and satin business has gone from bad to worse, and it has begun to decline gradually.
Yongkang's status in Lingzhou was not obvious, and the Ji family's gradual decline, so it was extremely difficult to get a place in the academy.
Under such circumstances, Ji Weilanxin could understand that as a servant, she asked for a chance for her son.
However, his arrival has become bad news for all servants who hope to become servants!
More importantly, if there is a Ji Ziqian who can come today and suddenly steal the spot, will there be another Li Ziqian and Zhang Ziqian tomorrow
There are only two places in the servant school, as long as there is another one, Tang Jie will be completely out of play!
The poor are in the downtown area and no one asks, the rich are deep in the mountains and have distant relatives.
The Wei family’s great cause is big, and it is a piece of it that you have a confession. It is not unusual to say that one or more places for servants will appear in a few days.
Thinking of this, Tang Jie felt his head as big as a fight.
He didn't know how much effort he had spent in order to enter the Moon Academy. Could it be that in the end, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach the backstage at home
Thinking of the relationship between the Ji family and the Wei family, Tang Jie also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
No!
Tang Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.
The wife hasn't immediately agreed.
Since she pushed the matter to the grandfather, it means that the wife does not welcome this incident. Although I don't know why, the Ji family's affairs are obviously not as smooth as they seem on the surface.
Then maybe I still have a chance!
…
After doing the good things in the afternoon, Tang Jie didn't go back to rest, but went to see the manager of Qin Da first.
After talking for a long time, I took the time to go to my wife's Yichang Garden.
This was when his wife was taking a nap, Rouge had nothing to do, so she waited outside, seeing Tang Jie approaching from a distance, and gave herself a wink.
Rouge smiled secretly in her heart and walked over and said, "Oh, how come you have time to come here today?"
Tang Jie replied: "The new young master of floral art is tired and wants me to make some new patterns. But my elder sister knows, where does my younger brother come with so many patterns? This is not because I am worried, I think my elder sister is good at embroidery, so Come over with a cheeky face to ask sister Rouge for embroidered noodles as a foundation."
Rouge attacked Tang Ji: "You can also ask for the embroidery of your daughter's house? If this is going to be spread, how can Rouge behave? You may think that I am private with you..."
She blushed, but she didn't say any more. Tang Jie had already laughed with her: "Yes, I was abrupt, but I didn't expect this level, so just let it go."
Tang Jie said that he was going to leave, but he didn't move. He just said, "By the way, sister Yanzhi, I heard that there is another distinguished guest from the house?"
Rouge gave Tang Jie a playful look, and hummed: "Yeah, the news spreads so quickly, is it the dead slut that Sergeant Yue told you again? It seems that it is fake to ask for embroidered noodles. This spy news is true."
Tang Jie smiled and said: "There is no need to check for any more news, but just confirm it. The Ji family and the Wei family are also related to each other by marriage, so this servant's learning is naturally a certainty."
"That might not be there." Rouge snorted: "The wife didn't directly agree, she only pushed it to the old man to decide, but the old man said that he had to ask the man about this matter again. The man didn't come back outside, only let people return. In other words, for the time being, there is no rush to settle down the servant study. Let the young master live in the Weifu for a few days, and then talk to the young master first."
"This is really shirking each other, but why?" Tang Jie asked hurriedly.
Rouge snorted and ignored him.
Tang Jie had already taken out some money and stuffed it into Rouge's hands. Rouge took it with an open eyebrow and looked at no one on the left and right. Then he leaned into Tang Jie's ear and whispered: "I don't know why this is. Auntie came back this time and brought it. Many gifts, as I said before, as long as the Weifu is willing to give the Ji family a place, all the expenses can be paid by the Ji family. Unexpectedly, the wife did not appreciate it, and only took them to see the old lady. After returning, she lost her temper. "What do you say, "Does my Wei family lack this money? Need them to pay? It's really inexplicable!" I don't know what kind of temper she has."
The cost of the academy is expensive, even if the Wei family has to provide support for these immortal cultivators every year, it is also a huge expense. The Ji family pays for the tuition, which is a good thing. Why is his wife still dissatisfied? This made Rouge couldn't understand how.
"It turned out to be like this..." Tang Jie nodded and laughed, and his doubts were finally solved: "I said this should have been done by all means, but how come it hasn't been implemented yet, and the relationship problem lies here? ."
Rouge was puzzled and stabbed Tang Jie: "Hey, what are you talking about? Do you know why your wife is angry?"
Tang Jie replied: "The reason why the family is willing to choose servants to enroll with the young master is that apart from serving the young master, there is another important reason. It is to train their own fairy master. In order to obtain a truly trustworthy fairy master, how much money should be spent? It’s all worth it. Although Ji’s family and Wei’s family are related by marriage, Ji Ziqian is not a member of Wei’s family after all. He was not a member of the Wei family at first, but he could also enter the house. But the grandmother said that all the expenses were paid by the Ji family. I understand that I want to use this as capital to reduce the leverage on the Wei family, that is to say, Ji Ziqian will still serve the Ji family in the future!"
Speaking of it, Tang Jie sneered: "For the poor, the tuition may be a barrier to entry, but for the big family, the quota is really valuable. As you know, the number of places released each year. , It is impossible to buy with money, rarely release some, you can sell tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is thousands of times the tuition itself. The hottest thing at auctions is always to wash Yue Academy’s quota! But the Ji family didn’t give anything in return, so they insisted on taking a place from Wei’s family. How could the wife not be angry? Wei Jia said it’s one place per year, but they stared at this place every year. There are hundreds of them. The Wei family spends a lot of money on this quota every year. Others who want to get extra places from the Wei family also have to spend a lot of money to buy them. The Wei family balances income and expenditure by entering and exiting places. In order to provide for his children to go to school continuously, or else relying solely on his own business, the Wei family would not be able to bear the bottomless pit of millions of silver. Therefore, the entry and exit of this place has long been a business, and he The Ji family is probably the lowest bidder among all those who want it!"
Speaking of this, Tang Jie snorted: "It's no wonder that the Ji family is going to be depressed and left out. With such short-sightedness, how can you get long-term rewards if you are unwilling to give the least amount of effort? Of course, it may be because of the relationship. It’s a little bit more recent, but it’s a pity that this aunt has obviously overestimated her price. Even the old lady would not agree to throw away tens of thousands of dollars for a married daughter."
What he said casually, but meaningful, Rouge was already stunned.
She was a maid serving his wife with limited vision. Although she knew that the spiritual master was noble, she never had a specific concept. She only thought that the tuition fee of a few hundred taels of silver each year was a sky-high price, but she knew that the quota itself was the most valuable.
She is a maid, and a few dollars of extra money can make her excited for several days, and now these tens of thousands of dollars have been smashed down, immediately making her dizzy.
Listening to Tang Jie's last few sentences at this moment, I finally understand why Shiyue should treat Tang Jie so well.
The dead girl of feeling knows all this better than her, so she chose one early... She is investing in the future!
Unlike Shimo, who is still pinning his hopes on the young master, Yanzhi and Shiyue had long known that his chances were slim. Because of this, Yanzhi alienated him, but did not directly ignore him for the sake of the money. Furthermore, he directly began to hook up with Tang Jie.
After understanding this, Rouge hated her blindness and thought she was clever, but was confused by some petty gains. On the contrary, she looked quiet on weekdays, but secretly had already exhausted all the means.
As soon as I understood this, Rouge's expression changed, and he smiled at Tang Jie: "It turns out that it's like this. You're still smart. I figured out the key to this. It seems that they can't make it happen."
She actually slapped Tang Jie's flattery in turn.
"That's not necessarily!" Tang Jie said sternly, "Anyway, the two families are relatives in-laws. As long as the aunt and grandma are willing to let go, the old man and the old man may not be able to save the face. I think, the Ji family is doing business. I'm used to playing the drama of asking prices and paying back the money. But sooner or later my aunt will still agree to some conditions. By then, Ji Ziqian's school will really become an unchangeable fact."
Speaking of this, Tang Jie looked at Rouge and smiled: "Sister Rouge, although I have not been in the mansion for a long time, I have been taken care of by my sister these days and helped me many times. I am also grateful in my heart. I wanted to have a chance to enroll in the future. Soaring into the sky, I must repay my sister well. But now it seems that hope is slim."
As he said, he just shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, Ji Ziqian is the young master of the Ji family after all. No matter how prosperous he is in the future, he will have nothing to do with his sister."
Rouge was distraught.
Think about it, Ji Ziqian is different from Tang Jie. He comes from a family and has countless servants himself, so there is really no need to please his servants. Even if Yanzhi wanted to hold Ji Ziqian's thighs, there was probably no chance.
Thinking of this, Rouge said anxiously: "Isn't there another place?"
Tang Jieyu said with earnest heart: "There are still two years before the young master enters school, how can sister Rouge be sure that no one else will come during this time? Besides, there are always no two places for one place, which makes people feel at ease. Plan ahead, really. I have to wait until the second place is gone, and it will be too late if I am in a hurry!"
The rouge is completely discolored.
The hope that had just been raised in her heart was poured down by Tang Jie's cold water, and her mood was imaginable.
Looking at Rouge's appearance, Tang Jie knew that the heat was almost over, and then he murmured: "But it's not impossible..."
