Chapter 54: Family Competition

"Wait until you go in, I'll say you're my distant nephew, by the way, what's your name?" Aunt Feng stopped in front of a room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Then my name will be Feng Yan. "Dai Yan can't wait to have a new identity.

On the way, Aunt Feng had already asked Dai Yan some specific information, and felt that it was almost over, so she led Dai Yan into the house.

"Steward Cheng, this is my distant nephew Feng Yan, I want to get an errand in our courtyard......" Aunt Feng said a lot to the thin old man in a long shirt in the house.

"The third floor of qi refining is not enough to qualify for the nursing home, the yard has just been renovated and there is no need for plasterers, and there are enough people in the kitchen, or rather, there is no shortage of people in various places, but you Aunt Feng's face can't be ignored." Steward Cheng took a puff of dry tobacco, "I thought about it, there are so many jobs." ”

You say. Aunt Feng said with a smile.

"One is to go to the mountains in the morning to chop firewood, pick up some horse dung and cow feces on the way, and the other is to sweep the streets and alleys outside in the afternoon. Steward Cheng said, "Aunt Feng, you also know that these jobs were originally done by outsiders, and I have already put a lot of effort into offending the neighborhood in order to settle your nephew." ”

"Steward Cheng, everything else is okay, picking up feces is not very good. Aunt Feng's expression was a little ugly.

"There have been some new seedlings in the medicine garden recently, if your nephew does a good job, the growth of the medicinal herbs is gratifying, and the reward is absolutely indispensable, this is a 'fat gap'. Steward Cheng clicked his lips.

Aunt Feng frowned and turned her head to look at Dai Yan.

Dai Yan laughed twice: "I don't know how much Yulu is?"

This must be asked, otherwise it is not in line with my current identity.

"Three taels a month, that's it, I still have to apply to the above first, after all, the cost of the hospital is too big now. Steward Cheng looked heartbroken for the family.

Dai Yan almost wanted to scold.

also said how beautiful it is to enter a big family, and what is the difference between the result and the lowest laborers outside?

Three taels a month, you can imagine the level of three hundred Huaxia coins per month on the earth, how to live in this?

Yes, we're here to gather intelligence, not to make extra money.

But you can't be too bad to yourself, right?

What's more, what the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate needs most is the intelligence of the various gangs in the city, and as for the four major families, they are not the primary target.

Dai Yan was thinking about how to refuse this job, but Aunt Feng had quit.

"Three taels of silver, doing such a lowly job, Steward Cheng, are you giving me face, are you giving me a look!" Aunt Feng, such a kind person, all widened her eyes.

"Hehe, how dare I, Aunt Feng is a celebrity in the fifth room. Steward Cheng smiled.

Now that Dai Yan heard it, the tone of the steward was a little mocking.

"Okay, Feng Yan, let's go!" Aunt Feng rushed out of the door angrily.

"Normally, this steward is quite polite to the people in our room, but I didn't expect to show my face when I really asked him to do something!" Aunt Feng hummed as she walked.

Dai Yan sighed and didn't ask immediately.

Sure enough, Aunt Feng rushed up angrily, and she confided out: "There are six branches in our Tong family, which are called six rooms...... In short, I work in the fifth room, and Steward Cheng is said to be the closest to the long room, I was not sure before, but I tried it out today!"

Dai Yan looked left and right, and whispered: "This kind of thing, auntie, should you be quieter?"

"Let people hear it, hear it, anyway, the new head of the house is about to be decided, and sooner or later we will be divided. Aunt Feng snorted.

Dai Yan probably understood what was going on.

The Xiuzhen families in this world have their own ways of governing their families, some are united and harmonious, and some are cruel and competitive.

The Tong family, it seems, is the latter.

The resources of the Xiuzhen family are limited, so instead of distributing them evenly to each family member, it is better to protect a single branch.

The influence of the ten foundation building periods is not as good as the one rejuvenation period.

So in every generation, there will be horizontal competition.

Whoever is most likely to step into the resurrection period of the middle-aged generation is the successor of the next head of the family, and after becoming the head of the family, his branch will receive most of the resources, while the other branches will be cut off like superfluous branches, and the status will be much worse than before.

It seems that the fifth room where Aunt Feng is located is hopeless in this competition.

"Don't worry, I'll go directly to our young lady, she is the master after all, and Steward Feng doesn't dare to be disobedient. Aunt Feng boosted Dai Yan's confidence.

Dai Yan nodded, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, and he gradually became interested in this family.

This time in front of an embroidery building, Aunt Feng asked Dai Yan to wait downstairs, and she carried the baby upstairs.

After a while, Aunt Feng came out and said happily: "Miss wrote a note, and asked Steward Feng to arrange for you to go to the firewood room to guard Chai He, and usually purchase some ingredients for the fifth room, well, so that you can share some work for me, and you can buy goat's milk for this child by the way, don't worry about goat's milk is too expensive, our young lady said to withdraw this money from her pocket money." ”

Dai Yan opened his mouth wide: "How is this good? Okay, thank you Miss for me, and I thank Aunt Feng too." ”

"It's good to know gratitude, in fact, our room is having a hard time now, and Miss needs some trustworthy people very much. Aunt Feng looked at Dai Yan with satisfaction.

Dai Yan was slightly stunned.

This Miss Tong and Aunt Feng are indeed good people, but good people will also think about their own interests.

"Actually, I said before that I was refining the third layer of qi, and I wasn't too sure, because I didn't have the money to officially test it. Dai Yan leaned into Aunt Feng's ear, "Sometimes I think that there may be a fourth-layer combat power of qi refining. ”

Aunt Feng laughed twice: "Yes, yes, with this ability, he is very powerful in the countryside." ”

People don't seem to care too much at all.

Although Aunt Feng did not have cultivation qualifications, after all, she was a member of the Xiuzhen family, and she had seen many masters, and the third or fourth layer of qi refining was of little use in her opinion.

Dai Yan regretted it in his heart, he had known about this situation, and he should have reported two more layers at the beginning.

The stronger the strength, the more likely this Miss Tong is to let herself do something important, so that she can get in touch with higher-level intelligence.

Forget it, let's build trust first and show it slowly later.

Aunt Feng went to Steward Feng with a note, and Steward Feng didn't dare to embarrass her, so she arranged according to Miss Tong's wishes, and at the same time set a treatment of ten taels of silver.

However, this Feng steward had a sarcastic expression throughout the whole process.

A family member was summoned and led Dai Yan to the firewood room, Aunt Feng saw Dai Yan settle down with her own eyes, and gave a few words before leaving.

Everyone left, Dai Yan looked around, showing a satisfied expression.

There are special woodcutters around the county to pick firewood to sell, and the Tong family does not need to cut firewood by themselves, so no one lived in the firewood house originally.

Dai Yan guards the firewood room alone, but it is quiet and leisurely.

It is estimated that Miss Tong is also thinking that he is going to take the child.

The baby's cry will be noisy to others, and it is just right to be placed here.

"Let's get used to it for two days. Dai Yan put down his luggage, and the child began to cry again.

After comforting the baby, I went out to buy goat's milk, soybeans and some sundries, and when I came back, it was already dusk.

went to the kitchen to get a bucket of hot water back, Dai Yan closed the door, took out soybeans and a large bowl.

"Alchemy!" Dai Yan closed his eyes.

After a while, a handful of soybeans turn into an extremely fine powder and land in the bowl.

Slowly add hot water to the bowl, and suddenly, the house is full of fragrance.
