I studied abroad in modern times
Chapter 74 Steward
"Why? Didn't you just need to be a top grade person before to enter the Immortal Sect?"
Even though he had always been a little afraid of Zhenren Zhang, the seventh young master couldn't help but complain.
Zheng Fa understood his anxiety very well and looked at it from the perspective of the seventh young master:
You are a scumbag student with poor grades. For a big exam, you have a headache and a thorn in your buttocks. You are addicted to Tuhai and study hard just to pass the exam with a score of 60%.
As a result, the invigilator walked into the examination room and announced that the examination rules had changed. This examination does not depend on the scores on the paper, but on rankings. Except for the top ten, everyone behind will fail...
Anyone else would be blown up.
Senior Sister Zhang also shook her head and said: "This time, because the families participating in the Immortal Product Fair are afraid of another accident in the future, they have packed in all their good seedlings. Not only are there a large number of people participating in the Immortal Product Fair, but the quality is also the best. . If we follow the fixed order again, I’m afraid there will be a lot of people entering the Immortal Sect this time.”
"Isn't it good to have too many?"
The seventh young master asked blankly.
"For you, of course, it's good. For those disciples who have entered the Immortal Sect..." Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa with a meaningful look: "You are here to grab food."
"Even though the people who participated in the Immortal Fair are behind Master Jin Dan or Master Yuanying, this time there was a huge outcry among the bottom disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, so they made the provision to limit the number of places."
"How many places are there?"
"Each sect is uncertain, but in terms of Talismanism, our Jiushan Sect is a bit more strict, while the Qingmu Sect... they are good at refining medicine, and Talismanism is not so demanding." Senior Sister Zhang looked at the Seventh Young Master and said, seeming to comfort him. he.
The seventh young master breathed a sigh of relief. He was holding the Qingmu Sect's Immortal Order.
Zheng Fa understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant.
The Jiushan Sect's Talisman Technique ranks first in the Hundred Immortals League, and those who study Talismanism are also willing to enter the Jiushan Sect, so the admission requirements are naturally high.
The Aoki Sect's talismans were weak and there was little competition, so the seventh young master had great hopes.
…
On the way back to his new yard, Zheng Fa met two acquaintances whom he had not seen for a long time - Huang Yu and his father, the somewhat chubby Manager Huang.
Behind the two of them was a cart filled with food, bedding and sundries.
The big and small bags looked like they were about to move.
"Brother Huang?" Zheng Fa looked at the two people in surprise. It seemed that these two people were waiting for him here.
"Master Zheng!"
Huang Yu cupped his hands and said a little awkwardly.
Manager Huang on the side also smiled and saluted, and the smile on his face was more flattering than the usual enthusiasm.
"What are you..."
He looked at the two people and then at the cart behind them.
Huang Yu blushed and seemed embarrassed to speak.
Manager Huang patted the back of his son's head and said, "My son wants to seek refuge with you!"
"Ah?" Zheng Fa didn't expect this to happen: "Take refuge in me?"
"Yes, my son heard that you got the Immortal Order, young master, and came out to live in a courtyard by yourself. He has been thinking about being a housekeeper for you!"
Manager Huang said with a smile.
Zheng Fa looked at the expressions of the two people and found that Huang Yu's face was not so clear, and he also had a clear understanding in his heart - this was probably Manager Huang's idea.
"uncle……"
"No way!" Huang Guanshi waved his hands quickly and said, "I don't dare to call the young master an uncle."
Seeing his frightened look, Zheng Fa could only skip the address and said: "If Brother Huang really wants to come to my place, I will welcome him, that is..."
Manager Huang probably inquired very clearly.
The Zheng family really needs a male butler.
Especially if Zheng Fa left Jingzhou, even with the protection of the Zhao family, he would really not worry about letting his mother and sister live alone.
If Huang Yu is willing to work at Zheng Fa's house, it can be said to solve some of Zheng Fa's hidden worries.
"He is willing! Tell yourself, do you want to work at the Zheng family?" Manager Huang slapped his son on the back of the head, and then Huang Yu said dullly: "Yes!"
Zheng Fa saw that although he looked a little embarrassed, he didn't show much reluctance. He nodded and reminded: "We are from a small family and we can't afford a high monthly salary."
"It doesn't matter if you give me money or not!" Manager Huang said with a smile: "I have packed the car with everything he needs to eat and use! It's enough for him to live for a year!"
Zheng Fa felt a little shocked when he looked at the carts piled high behind them - bringing your own dry food to work, what a noble sentiment.
Even in modern times, it would make those black-hearted capitalists cry.
As he spoke, Manager Huang also said to Zheng Fa: "I won't hide it from the young master. This boy has a wild temper and can't stay in the farm. I'm afraid that he won't have the right mind to do things in Zhao's house. I know that the young master is a good person, and I can't live with him." I know him, so he shamelessly came to ask for a way out. "
"As for my son, he is stupid and has a weak mind. His only advantage is that he is honest. I am not afraid that the young master will dislike you. To tell you the truth, if you want a well-rounded butler, he will not be able to do it, but you want him to guard the door. He dared to fight tooth and nail to protect his wife and young lady."
Zheng Fa couldn't help but nod. Guanshi Huang was really a good person. The person he needed didn't need to run the Zheng family well. Reliability was the most important thing.
"Then Brother Huang's body contract..."
"Young Master, you are so proud!" Huang Guanshi said with a smile: "I asked someone to ask Madam what she meant. As soon as Madam heard that I would be your housekeeper, she gave us the deed without saying a word. "
"Okay, I have to give you this monthly money... So, can you give me one tael of silver a month?"
"That's the young master's flattery!"
One tael of silver a month is too little for Wu Guanjia, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion. This price is equivalent to an insult.
But for Huang Yu, an inexperienced person, it is a bit high - this is also Zheng Fa's way of buying his loyalty. If he really doesn't pay, he may not feel resentful in the short term, but who wouldn't feel wronged in the long run?
It's too far away from home, so Zheng Fa is willing to spend some money to buy peace of mind.
The new courtyard of the Zheng family is a two-entry courtyard. Zheng's mother and younger sister live in the backyard.
Huang Yu and his son moved their things to the front yard. In the future, Huang Yu will also live next to the gatehouse in the front yard, which is almost like guarding the gate.
After putting the things away, Huang Yu sent his father out of the city.
Steward Huang saw his son's unhappy expression and said calmly: "Why, do you feel wronged as a steward?"
"No, I just feel awkward... Last time we met, we were still brothers."
"Are you stupid! Don't you see that Zheng Fa is about to ascend to heaven? In the future, you will be more prosperous than the current Wu steward of the Zhao family, and it is more valuable than the empty reputation of a friend?"
"...Then I had a good relationship with Zheng Fa before?"
"Do you know what you have to do first if you want to ascend to heaven?"
"Ah?"
"You have to be a steward first!" Steward Huang slapped his son's head in disappointment: "If you hadn't met Zheng Fa first, would you have the position of steward?"
Huang Yu heard something wrong and looked up at his father.
"If Dad had known him earlier, Dad would have done it himself!"
Huang Yu remained silent, and heard his father continue: "Zheng Fa is easy to serve, and has a bright future. Even if he can't become rich, you can still have a stable life... Dad is incompetent, and he can only find this good way out for you after asking around. Work hard."
"Yes."
...
"Brother, if you want to become an immortal, our family will have its own housekeeper!" said the younger sister Zheng Shan excitedly.
Zheng Fa, on the other hand, looked calm: "These things are all empty."
Whether it's this courtyard, Senior Sister Zhang, Huang Yu, or even the goodwill of the lady - they are all borrowed.
If he fails to become an immortal in the Immortal Product Association, then these will probably leave him.
"Mother said so too..." the younger sister suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
"Mother said that life is good now, but she is afraid that you are too tired." The younger sister frowned and said, "Brother, are you tired?"
She held Zheng Fa's index finger with both hands and looked up at her brother: "If you are tired, don't be an immortal. Pig grass leaves are actually delicious!"
When she said this, the younger sister had a heroic expression on her face.
