Self-cultivation migrant workers

Ye Feng coughed twice, caught a glimpse of a chair opposite, walked straight over, sat on it, and said to the servant: "This steward, what's your name?". .

Being called a brother by Ye Feng, the family member felt rather honored, and immediately replied: "Three generations of my ancestors have been slaves in Li's house, and I was valued by Mrs. Li, so I gave him the surname Li. My full name is Li De, and I am the eldest in my family." Three, the nickname is San Dezi."

"Ah, so it's Brother Li, I..." Ye Feng hadn't finished talking, but was suddenly interrupted by Li De: "Brother, don't call me brother, and don't ask me to take care of business. Quite, and at the same time, those who have a predestined relationship with Buddha can just call each other brothers, or you can just call me San Dezi to make them closer. When I was eight years old, I was seriously ill and tried all kinds of medical treatments to no avail. Later, thanks to my old mother I obtained a pair of elixir in a temple, and I have been able to survive until now, and since then, I have started to envelop Buddha beads, and I have been free from illness and disaster all these years, thanks to the blessing of Bodhisattva."

Ye Feng has seen people who are superstitious, but he has never seen such a superstitious person, so he deliberately echoed: "I also encountered great difficulties when I was young, and it is thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva that I can live in peace until now."

The two chatted very "speculatively" for a while.

This San Dezi lived in the Li Mansion since he was a child. Although he was just a small family member, the Li Mansion was no different from his own home to him, but because he was too superstitious, he was always excluded in the mansion. It is easy to meet Ye Feng who is such a "person of Buddha's fate", so he is naturally very excited, and the depression that has been suppressed for a long time is instantly swept away, and the whole person immediately regains his energy.

Ye Feng and San Dezi were communicating enthusiastically, but they saw a young man who was also a servant and dressed up ran out from the gate of Li's house. Seeing Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask anything, and went straight to San Dezi Zidao: "San Dezi, Madam asked me to tell you that this registration can be over. If anyone comes again, just send them away. Madam tells you to go back now. Today's primary election is coming to an end, re-election It's about to start, and you have to go back and help."

San Dezi made a promise, and said with a smile: "I see, in fact, there is no one here, you go back first, I will come right away."

After the man finished delivering the message, his eyes fell on Ye Feng again, and he asked, "Is this the last one?"

San Dezi said: "Well, he is the last one, I will lead him in now."

The servant snorted and said, "Then be quick, don't dawdle."

After the servant left, Ye Feng asked San Dezi: "San Dezi, what are the specific requirements for the Li family to recruit servants this time?"

San Dezi picked up the roster from the table, and said: "Brother Ye, the recruiting of servants in our Li residence is different from other residences. Most big families only need to be strong and hardworking when recruiting servants. But this time, our patriarch set very high requirements for the recruitment of the servants. They must be physically strong and have a certain skill, but also have a certain degree of knowledge and literary talent. As for why my wife did this, I don’t know. Even so, with the reputation of our Li family in Chang'an City, there are a lot of people who have come to sign up for this recruitment. In fact, you have a coincidence, today is the last day to sign up. This time, our Li family is recruiting family members. Twenty places have been set, and now sixteen have been set, and there are only four places left, but I believe that with your ability, Brother Ye, you will be able to pass the primary election and re-election, and you will be successful in the end."

"This will be divided into primary elections and re-elections? Interesting, what are the tests?" Ye Feng asked again.

San Dezi replied: ""There are three kinds of primary selection, one is cooking, the other is martial arts, and the third is coolies. Cooking skills are comparable to cooking soup, martial arts is naturally the ability to fight and protect the courtyard, and coolies are all about it. When the physical strength is exhausted, as long as one of these three is outstanding and has outstanding ability, it will be considered a pass. If all three are excellent, then it will be the leader of the primary election. As for the re-election, I am not sure, it seems that the Literary talk, the topic is given by my wife and young lady. "

Ye Feng pondered in his heart: "What is this Li Caixue's mother going to do? Isn't she just wanting to take Li Caixue out of Chang'an City? It is understandable to recruit more servants. After all, you have to go far away, and it doesn't matter if you have fewer people, but recruiting servants unexpectedly Ye Feng finds it strange that there are still primary elections and re-elections to be done, as well as culinary knowledge, talent, physical fitness, etc.."

What the Li family wants to do, Ye Feng can't speculate now, but if there is an effect, there must be a cause. Since Li Caixue's mother arranged it in this way, she must have her consideration and plan.

Among the three items in the preliminary selection, in terms of cooking skills, Ye Feng felt that his level was only at the level of cooking some home-cooked dishes, and he might not be able to adapt to the kitchen of Zhengtang King's Mansion in this secret territory. If you want to pass the level of cooking skills , you can only play by ear.

In terms of martial arts, of course there is no difficulty in this, just keep a low profile and ensure that you can pass the test.

As for coolies, that is, physical fitness, there is no need to worry about this.

Among these three items, the only one that is somewhat difficult is the level of cooking skills.

Looking at San Dezi's expression again, Ye Feng originally hoped that after making friends with San Dezi, he would let him walk through the back door for him, but judging from the current situation, the recruitment of servants by the Li Mansion is all about real kung fu. , There is no way to go by outside ways.

San Dezi interrupted Ye Feng's meditation, and whispered: "Brother, this last step requires you to sign your name on this roster. After signing, I will take you in."

Ye Feng picked up the brush and looked at the register. It was written in traditional Chinese characters. Fortunately, the registration register is simple. There are only two columns. One column is full of name, and the other column is home address and introduction.

Looking at the last two columns above, one of them has a beautiful font and a nice name, Yan Ruyu, who must be the shy boy who looks like a little girl, while the other has a rough and crooked font, The name was also vulgar, and it was actually called Wang Dabao. At a glance, he knew it was the farmer who couldn't speak well.

Ye Feng is not worried about writing with a brush. His second grandfather taught him calligraphy when he was young, and he is quite good at writing. He once won the gold medal in the National Youth Calligraphy Competition. Simpler, he can write the traditional characters of those three characters, but the following address situation cannot be written in a few simple characters.

Fortunately, Ye Feng thought quickly, discussed it with San Dezi, and just wrote five simple words: "Changping Shili Pavilion"

According to what Xiao Tianfeng said, there is indeed Changping County, and there is indeed a Shili Pavilion, but that place is really remote enough, and placing his household registration address there should not attract the attention of others.

After everything was filled out, San Dezi led Ye Feng into Li's Mansion. He didn't rush to the examination room, but went to San Dezi's residence first. In his words, he wanted Ye Feng to tidy up his clothes first and fight for the exam. Make the best first impression on the examiner who is responsible for recruiting servants.

Since Ye Feng's hair is not very long (this is the length Ye Feng specially kept for a few months to enter the secret realm), San Dezi helped Ye Feng's hair into a short bun and found him an ordinary servant hat strap on.

After Ye Feng was dressed neatly, he took the bronze mirror handed over by San Dezi and looked up and down, and he was satisfied.

San Dezi looked Ye Feng up and down from the side, couldn't help stretching out his thumb, and praised: "Brother Ye, you are the most handsome and temperamental man I have ever seen when I grow up."

Ye Feng blushed, being praised by a man for being handsome is far more convincing than being praised for being handsome by a woman. Such a handsome guy is the real handsome guy.

In the midst of the beauty, San Dezi was beside him and urged him away: "Brother, we have to hurry up, otherwise it may be too late."

When Ye Feng followed San Dezi to the family examination room, he really knew how big the Li family mansion was.

If one compares the mansion of the Li family with the mansion of his time, the mansion of his time can at best be regarded as a toilet in the mansion of the Li family.

The courtyard in the courtyard, the hall in the hall, the glazed roof shining golden light, the strange flower pool, the Bishi Pavilion, and a ray of green waves crossing the hall.

Not to mention how much the decoration of this house is worth, just considering such a large piece of land, it would definitely be a sky-high price to put it in the capital of Huaguo. If there is no San Dezi to lead the way, if Ye Feng wants to wander around blindly, if he does not rely on divine sense, It will take a long time to turn around.

The former prime minister's mansion, even though it has been in decline for many years, its foundation is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

Xiao Tianfeng's house is big enough, but compared with Li's house, it is still far behind. (To be continued.)
