As soon as he finished speaking, the other two qualified children had already spoken first: "Xu Ziliu and Xu Ziqi are willing to serve the nobles in the east yard, please help with the arrangements."
The yellow-faced youth sighed secretly in his heart, but promised in his mouth: "It's okay, I have a signature here. The letter is in need of the names of the servants' children, you wait to extract it yourself."
The two children were ecstatic, and hurriedly took a wooden tube that the yellow-faced youth handed over, and went to one side to carefully select the labels.
The yellow-faced youth looked at Xu Ziqing again: "This kid didn't speak just now, I think there is another choice."
Xu Ziqing lowered her head and said with sincerity and fear: "Xu Ziqing is inadequate, and is willing to do some chores to share worries for the clan..."
Alas, this one is not enterprising. The yellow-faced youth had to hand over a yellow-skinned booklet, and said, "This is exactly where my clan needs people to do chores. You can choose one by yourself."
Xu Ziqing thanked him and took it to look carefully.
Why is the yellow-faced youth so sorry? It's really because the three choices that the Zong family gave to the under-qualified children were all exquisite.
On the one hand, of course, it is because of the important people in the inner hall to take care of it and the family is more reliable. On the other hand, it is also to see whether these people with lower qualifications can supplement the lack of qualifications from the side.
The first choice is the most challenging one. It may seem difficult to receive tasks by yourself. In fact, every task has to hone the people from many places. Once you get through it with your own efforts during this period, your qualifications will be poorer and there will be many others. Because of his determination, he broke through the third level of Qi refining before the age of fifty. At that time, he will be sent directly to Feijiu Mountain, where he will be given instructions and elixir to cleanse the body and mind. It is also possible that the fairy margin will be smooth in the future.
The second item is to serve people. How could it be so easy to serve people? What's more, if it's in the hands of people with bad temperament... life will be even worse. The children who choose this task are half and half enterprising and greedy. If it is the former, those who can bear the humiliation may not succeed in the future, and those who can't bear it will be eliminated quickly. The Zong family will not be fair to those with poor qualifications to those with good qualifications. Most of the latter can live well, but these people spend their minds on how to please, how can they practice seriously
Furthermore, those who have succeeded with enduring humiliation will inevitably have grievances in their hearts and low loyalty to the clan when thinking about the past. The greedy people themselves are clumsy, and they won't be likable.
Therefore, the people who made this second choice were actually the people who the Zong family disliked the most.
The third item is chores. Most people who choose it are timid and easy to live, that is, the yellow-faced youth said that they are not enterprising. However, the achievements of this kind of people are extremely limited, but among the clan, the most trustworthy group of people is because they dare not divorce from the status quo, and they are honest and can contribute a lot to the clan. So although the Zong family regretted that they had wasted the immortal fate that was originally insignificant, they still couldn't live without the existence of this group of people.
The yellow-faced youth didn't think about how long, the two who had chosen first over there had already chosen. After the yellow-faced youth asked the people they chose, he told them the route to the specific addresses of those children. The two thanked them and left here quickly.
Xu Ziqing flipped through the yellow booklet over there, choosing very carefully.
It is true that Xu Ziqing is a person who takes things easy, but he is not cowardly and weak. It's just that he hadn't thought about the matter of immortality earlier, and when he arrived at the Zong Family, he felt very strange inside. With his temperament, he naturally didn't want to go to the muddy water.
When Xu Ziqing entered the inner hall, he had already waited and saw that there were fertile fields, and the orchard garden and the medicinal garden. The scenery was very beautiful. If he chooses chores, there must be something related to it, so he chooses one of them. Going far away should not be much different from when he was in Xujiacun.
Sure enough, after flipping through the yellow booklet, Xu Ziqing found what she was thinking. Three of them are still in line with his wishes.
One is to serve the fruit trees in the orchard, which requires daily watering and spreading fertilizer, weeding and insecticide, pruning and cutting trees... However, there are dozens of people who do the same thing, all of which are managed by a Hong manager.
The second is working in the sacred field, plowing the soil, sowing and planting seedlings, which is not much different from what Xu Ziqing once saw in the countryside. There are also a lot of people, and they are all managed by a manager Zhao.
The third is to work in the Baicao Garden, where you need to take care of the flowers and plants, and take care of everything. And there is only one person doing chores, and it is managed by a manager He.
Xu Ziqing carefully compared the three miscellaneous tasks and finally chose the third one. He was trapped in the house in his previous life, except for his relatives who took turns to accompany him, there are only some flowers and plants that he can take care of for a while. Now that I think about it, I feel quite intimacy, and the location of the Baicao Garden is very convenient.
So he turned the booklet to page 87, handed it to the yellow-faced youth, and said, "Xu Ziqing would like to go to Baicao Garden to do chores."
The young man with a yellow face didn't say much when he saw it, so he directly informed where the Baicao Garden was. After Xu Ziqing thanked him and left, some complicated expressions appeared on his face.
The Baicao Garden thing seems to be good, but it is the place of Old Man He. The old man had a very weird temperament. Many children had chosen this seemingly good job before, but they were kicked out by the old man within a few days. I don't know how long this one can hold on this time
The yellow-faced youth is not optimistic, Xu Ziqing knows nothing. He just followed the instructions of the youth, and it took half an hour to walk all the way, before finally reaching the outside of a garden.
The door was unlocked, but when Xu Ziqing walked forward, he was blocked by an invisible barrier. Then there was a curse and a man walked out, shouting in his throat, "Which idiot is here to move my prohibition? Isn't it possible with a spirit card!"
Xu Ziqing suffocated, remembering that he was wrong. He was used to living in the mundane world, and he hadn't realized that he was in the world of monks, so he forgot that this seemingly unlocked door was actually extremely tightly guarded.
So he picked up a wooden sign given to him by the yellow-faced youth, and carefully sent it to the void ahead. Seeing a white glow flashed past, he tried to walk in again, without the slightest obstacle.
After only three or five steps, I saw an oncoming old man. With dry smoke in his mouth, straw sandals under his feet, and worn-out clothes, Xu Ziqing has never seen such an untidy character since he walked into the Zong's house. He is Guan Shi
When the old man saw Xu Ziqing, he took a puff of his cigarette and vomited out: "The new handyman?"
He is a newcomer, and he is indeed doing handyman work, so the name is correct. Seeing that Old Man He was older, Xu Ziqing was naturally more respectful and tolerant, so he bowed slightly and said softly, "Xu Ziqing has seen the manager."
A faint color flashed in the eyes of Old Man He, he glanced up and down Xu Ziqing, and said, "It's not easy to come to me to do things. If you can't bear the hardship, don't blame me kicking you out."
He didn't deny the title, it seems that it is indeed the manager He. Xu Ziqing hurried to keep up. Since he wants to do it here, he should do his best. Moreover, if you can accompany the flowers and plants, it will be harder and more pleasant.
The more you walk into the garden, the more you can feel the air becoming extremely clear. Xu Ziqing couldn't help but take a deep breath, and he felt the smell tangy, and his entire lungs became relieved.
Of course he couldn't know that in the world he was reborn in now, what was filled between heaven and earth was something called "spiritual energy", which was lighter than the oxygen he once breathed, and could even wash his mind and body. The reason why monks can practice is all relying on it.
This Baicao Garden was actually a medicinal garden, which was specially cultivated for the Xu family, so the spiritual energy inside was extremely abundant. He suddenly came in from the outside and enjoyed it.
The layout of the garden is not as atmospheric and exquisite as the outside, but very natural. One flower, one grass, one soil and one stone, there are no traces of knives and axes.
When I walked through a dirt road, I saw a clear water flowing straight into the distance. On both sides of the current, there are many small garden-like spiritual fields surrounded by small stone fences. In each place, there are hazy green shadows and luxuriant grasses.
Walking along this road, you can see a row of huts. In the front few, there are either hanging agricultural objects, tools, or medicine shelves with large dustpans for drying medicine, and there are signs of residents. But there is only one smaller room, on the outermost side, with nothing outside.
When he walked to the row of thatched huts, Old Tou He raised his pipe, pointed to the smallest one, and said, "You live there, and there are mattresses."
Xu Ziqing nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that he was obedient, Old Man He turned around and said, "The spirit grass I plant here is not something that a hairy like you can move at will." As he said, he wandered back into the house. When he came out, his hands were already too much. Several thick tomes were thrown to Xu Ziqing who was waiting honestly, "Look at them first and remember them."
Xu Ziqing took it with difficulty. He is now much better than in the previous life, and his strength is not bad, but after receiving these books, he found that it was unexpectedly heavy. He still nodded: "I see, Mr. He."
When I glanced down at the page a little bit, I saw that the top one was "Spirit Sketch Book", which must have taught him to identify spirit grass. It is really indispensable to do things in this Baicao Garden. That old man He was stricter, but it was for his sake in the final analysis, and Xu Ziqing was naturally grateful.
Seeing him so obedient, Old Man He looked at Xu Ziqinggao a little bit. Although he is recognized as an odd temperament, he is not unreasonable. Those children who had come before had a higher eye on them in their respective divisions. Seeing that he was usually dressed in shabby clothes, they showed contempt for him as soon as they saw him. This is already a bad temper. Then he was told to memorize the kind of familiar spirit grass first, and he was reluctant, just wanting to teach him the tactics first, so how can he not be angry for such a tired and lazy person to do things!
The newcomer looked thin and weak, he couldn't even pick up a few medicine books, but he was not arrogant or irritable, and he was willing to do things seriously. In the eyes of Old Man He, even if it is basically qualified. If he observes his actions in the future, he will naturally pass on the tactics, and then the new kid can truly become the permanent "handyman" of the Baicao Garden.
