The Tonglin Zheng family is one of the four most famous families.
Yu Juli, the Lord’s personal disciple.
Currently the most popular celebrity, countless people in the entire Zheng family are eagerly looking forward to entering Yu Juli's courtyard.
For this reason, many servants showed their magical powers.
There are endless ways to build relationships and use sideways to make money.
Especially the bookboys, servants, and maids around Yu Juli, there are countless people watching eagerly.
And once a female envoy is spotted as a member of the room, she will be even more dignified than an official's wife.
To put it simply, Yu Youquan's courtyard is now the most promising unit in the entire Tonglin Zheng Family courtyard. It has high status, good treatment, and a bright future. Many people are eager to bet on it.
Someone from the Zheng family has appeared in the fifth server, and the blood relationship has become very weak.
A middle-aged man in his forties, who was called "Zheng Laizi" and was one-armed and lame, was angrily reprimanding the young man in the hall.
"You bastard, do you know how much money you spent, how many connections you made, how many faces you sold, just to give you a chance to show your face in front of Yu Langjun?"
"It turned out to be good for you...it was good for you...Yu Langjun asked you, and you dared to ask him for money and vacation...Are you stupid?"
The young boy kneeling on the ground is named Zheng Rui, and he is currently the only son of Zheng Laizi.
As for his brothers and sisters, the eldest brother died of illness, the second brother went to fight with his father and failed to come back, and the third sister went to another family early to become a child bride just to have a bite to eat.
Zheng Rui looked ashamed, but still a little stubborn.
"Dad, you have disabled legs and feet due to the war and are inconvenient. Mom's health has not kept up since her last miscarriage... I want to stay at home to take care of you two!"
Zheng Laizi almost lost his breath and fell over. He glanced around, picked up the feather duster and started beating him.
Once, twice, three times...
The blow hits the child and hurts the heart of the parents.
In another room, the old mother who had not fully recovered from her miscarriage could only cry silently.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot, what if I am lame in one leg? I am not old enough to move. As for your mother... do you think I can't even take care of someone else?"
"Do you know what it means to be favored by Yu Langjun? Why did I give birth to such an idiot like you?"
Zheng Rui knelt on the ground and felt very ashamed. He knew that his father had almost emptied the house in order to send him to Yu Langjun's yard as an errand.
But he was really worried. He saw his mother quietly stopping the medicine some time ago...
Needless to say, the treatment would definitely be much higher than that of other courtyards, but if he didn't apply for the opportunity to go home to visit relatives, he was really worried that his parents wouldn't be able to take care of him, and there was really nothing he could do.
"Dad, don't be angry, don't get so angry. Even if I don't ask these questions, the chance of Mr. Lang choosing me is very small... There are many people who were interviewed by Mr. Lang with me, even the big manager. My sons are all inside..."
"They are all good at talking and good-looking, and some even opened the Heavenly Gate...I am so dark that I can't compare to them...I also have the intention of taking a risk... ..."
Even though Zheng Rui is still young and acted like a fool during the interview, he is indeed not stupid.
How could he stand out if he didn't work hard and show his filial piety in an extreme way?
"Why."
Zheng Laizi collapsed directly on the ground, as if he had lost his soul.
Their relationship with the Zheng family was far away, and there were not many acres of farmland left at home, so he had no choice but to join the Zheng family as a subordinate.
This is not much better than being a slave. The only advantage is that the family background is innocent and future generations will have the opportunity to work as servants of the Zheng family.
but.
Those bad wars back then were fought in a muddle, and he got nothing but a broken arm and a lame leg. Even his second son was involved in it. What's more cruel is that the pension distributed by the superiors was withheld by the superiors.
If they hadn't kept some trophies, their family would probably have been unable to survive...
This time, he followed the path of a soldier in the army. He had better luck than himself. One of his daughters was married to a nephew of the Zheng family as a concubine.
It's all over now!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside Chaimen.
Zheng Laizi didn't even come to his senses at first. After hearing the sound of the firewood door ringing again and again, he finally came to his senses and hurriedly dragged his lame leg to open the door.
When he saw the visitor wearing gorgeous clothes, the lame man was startled and quickly bowed and apologized.
In the past, the man in rich clothes might not even look at the lame man, but it was different now. Seeing this man confessing, he even bent over.
"Uncle, my nephew is here to congratulate you!"
Zheng Laizi was shocked when he was called "uncle". Why didn't he know that he had such a wealthy "nephew"?
Could it be...
Zheng Laizi's eyes suddenly brightened up, as bright as two big lanterns.
Seeing that "Uncle Zheng", the lame Zheng, understood, the man in rich clothes quickly handed over the generous gift in his hand, complimented and said with a smile, "I'm very happy, uncle. Yu Langjun is grateful for your husband's filial piety, and officially calls for your husband to go." As an errand at Tenglongyuan..."
Select...selected?
Zheng Zizi felt as if he was dreaming!
Zheng Rui, who was selected, was also a little stupid, and then he listened to the noble man bragging in a sleepwalking state... He seemed to have instantly changed from a "fool" to an "achievement"!
...
Zheng's outer courtyard.
A well-dressed and clean-looking woman was giving instructions to her daughter.
"Lianzi, when you go to Langjun's courtyard, you must be diligent and like mother, don't ask for too many things that don't belong to us."
"yes."
The little girl named Lianzi nodded obediently.
At this time, she also felt like she was in a dream. On the day of the interview, there were many girls who were prettier, sweeter, and more talkative than her. She had no idea that her husband would choose her.
Although it was a bit dreamy, Lianzi knew that from today on, her mother and father's status would rise with the tide.
This can be seen from the reactions of the well-informed stewards and nuns who kept visiting the house just now.
What remains fresh in her memory is the all-rounded Aunt Cai. In the past, the masters had always commented on her as "caring" and "sensible", but only those under her command knew how much this Aunt Cai treated them. How harsh the people under my command are.
But this time, Nanny Cai looked at her as if she were her master...
Seeing that her daughter was absent-minded, the woman who looked clean from head to toe warned again, "The reason why Mr. Lang chose you is probably because you come from a clean background and don't have any messy connections from other hospitals... Don't admit it." Clear your place!”
"yes."
...
"Mom, Yu Langjun really chose me?"
In another side corner, a little girl couldn't believe it.
On the day of her interview, she made a big mistake. Some ungrateful bastard actually got cat's ear fluff in her clothes, which caused a rash on her body.
During the interview, she didn't stand or sit in the same manner, which was embarrassing just thinking about it.
She was so anxious that she almost cried, but it was Lang Jun who helped her get rid of those itchy fuzz...
The beautiful woman with an excellent face took her daughter's soft little hand and smiled, "Of course, otherwise how can we say that Yu Langjun has discernment? Youxiang, think about it, if you are not outstanding in all aspects, someone will secretly poke you. Son?"
The little girl named Youxiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, those people were just jealous and thought they were incomparable to them, so they harmed her... It was Lang Jun who knew everything!
"Thank you, mother. I understand why you forced me to learn so many things before."
Youxiang's mother suddenly became proud, "That's right, your mother and I also served in the girl's yard before, and I still have some vision. Even a girl with a noble status has to learn a lot of things since she was a child. , it’s not enough for a person to be beautiful... When you go to Langjun’s courtyard, you must remember to see more and learn more, and be sure to serve Yu Langjun well!”
Youxiang pursed her lips and smiled, full of fantasy about the future.
"Yes, my daughter remembers it."
...
"Baosheng, great news. Congratulations. You have been selected by Yu Langjun."
Baosheng was like a little adult. Although he was very happy, he still acted very calmly.
"This is inevitable. Yu Langjun has a calm personality. If he really wanted to choose a book boy, he would definitely choose me with better looks and a personality that matches his. And my talent is not bad. If I hadn't been younger, I would have chosen someone else long ago. The people around Lang Jun."
Baosheng's father was speechless.
His son is like this, he has been like a little old man since he was a child, and he doesn't know who he learned it from.
But no matter what, I finally got through it, and good days are ahead!
...
It's the day.
In Zheng's outer courtyard, inner courtyard, and manor, similar scenes continued to occur.
And those who were lucky enough to be selected by Yu Youquan were all beaming with joy, as if they had passed the Jinshi examination.
same.
As the interviewer, Yu Youquan was also quite happy.
Cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country and bringing peace to the world, and personally selecting the people to serve as servants in his own yard also meant to him that he had the first batch of available people.
In the future, he won't have to rely on him to solve many trivial matters. It can help him free himself from mundane affairs.
There are about twenty people selected this time.
The four older ones, two men and two women, mainly serve as stewards.
They were mainly transferred from the master's and mistress's courtyard. They are all experienced old people, and they are talents who are familiar with all aspects.
Just like the eldest Sang Mao, who is about fifty years old this year, he is not only good at managing things but also good at cultivation.
Yun Wen and Yun Wu can help Yu Youquan train his confidants, and his status is equivalent to that of his own tutor and scholar.
There is another one called Gu Sanqi, who used to be a casual cultivator, but later joined the Zheng family, and is now a three-level cultivator.
The master assigned him to him with the core purpose of protecting him.
If he really encountered danger, this ancient man would sacrifice his life to block the knife for him.
Of course, there are also many benefits. The master promised to give the ancient son a small Hun Yuan Qi, as well as various supporting cultivation resources.
For the sake of his son's future, he is willing to burn his remaining energy!
As for the two old people assigned to him by his wife, one is a very kind nanny named Qu, whose main role is to help her manage the yard.
In addition, she will basically take care of everything, such as various greetings and gifts, what gifts need to be prepared for key annual festivals, and what gifts need to be given to those people.
The last one is about 20 years old, named Nan Ju, and mainly takes care of his daily life.
The rest were basically chosen by him.
For example, that kid Zheng Rui is very filial, smart, and talented, so he is worth cultivating.
There was also the little maid named Youxiang. A palace plot was staged in front of her, and he directly hired her.
Without being targeted, Yu Youquan would not have known that that little girl was such a threat in the eyes of others. He thanked them for helping him select talents.
There is also that Baosheng, who looks good, is very capable, has a mature personality, and has a decent talent for cultivation, so he looks good.
As for the others, Yu Youquan's selection criteria is... a simple background!
The core evaluation criterion is to look at their parents. Once the reputation is not good, they will be screened out immediately.
But no matter what, he finally finished all the trivial matters, and it was time to go to Jiangxiao Tower to read the secret book.
