Ye Feng is preparing to enter the Li family to recruit the family, but if he wants to try this kind of opportunity, he is not alone, every time the Li Caixue family recruits the family, there will inevitably be all kinds of shili mixed in, and this time will of course be no exception.

***********************************

The season time in the secret realm of Tianyuan was somewhat surprising with the outside world, before Ye Feng came in, the outside world had already entered winter, but in the secret realm, it was spring.

In the sixteenth year of the Tang Dynasty, although it was already March, the weather was not warm, the spring was cold, the cold was pressing, and it seemed that the long winter had not yet passed.

Although the weather is a little cold, but in an alley in front of the mansion of King Li of Zhongshan in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, two young men in cloth clothes who are weak crowns are flushed and sweaty and run towards the mansion of Li Mansion only one street away.

The reason why they are so anxious is because they rushed to participate in the recruitment examination of the Li Mansion of the Chang'an Wang Clan, it is said that the Li Mansion recruited the family this time, the treatment is extremely generous, and the registration qualifications are not restricted, whether you are a farmer or a student, you can sign up, for the people of Chang'an City, to be able to enter the Li Mansion as Ding, no less than what to enter the fame, today's Li Mansion, although the family is in the middle, but after all, it is the mansion of the former prime minister. Being able to become a small family member of the Li Mansion means that there is no need to worry about eating and drinking in this life, and you can save silver taels and bless the whole family, but this time the Li family has very high conditions for recruiting family members, not only the number of places is limited, but also the door is quite high, requiring not only to bear hardships and stand hard work, but also to have a certain amount of knowledge and literary talent, only this one. It turned away many illiterate people who had been farmers for generations. But even so, the people who signed up for the Li Mansion family this time were still crowded and dizzying.

A woman in her fifties rushed out of the store to see this. At first, he was stunned for a moment. Then he rolled up his sleeves and scolded the two teenagers: "You two little ghosts. In a hurry to be reincarnated, do your eyes grow to your ass? If I break a load of rice, none of you will want to run. Lose money to come. ”

The young man who knocked over the load of rice before didn't care about the boss lady at this time, so he first turned around and helped the young man who fell to the ground up, flicked the dust, and said with concern on his face: "Little brother, how are you, are you okay?" The complexion on the young man's face is very strange, gray is not gray, black is not black, gray and black, so that his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are extremely blurred, although it is not hateful and ugly, but it is also the kind of appearance that makes people forget and will not leave much impression, he is slightly thin, a coarse cloth coat, although it is very clean, but it can not hide the dilemma of his poor background, the only thing that is desirable is his voice, crisp and melodious, very ear-catching.

On the other hand, the little brother who fell down is clear-eyed, delicate-skinned, and very handsome, judging from the appearance of these two teenagers, they will never be brothers.

The younger boy looked pained and said, "Brother, I'm fine, but we knocked over someone's rice, what can we do now, you still have to go to the Li Mansion to sign up, if you miss the time and can't catch up with the registration, what should I do, today is Zuihou for a day." ”

The older boy comforted: "Little brother, you don't have to worry, the Li Mansion is not far ahead, and you won't make a mistake." ”

"But, brother, we knocked over other people's rice, will the proprietress let us go?"

The proprietress next to her was already annoyed, stepped forward and grabbed the corner of the brother's sleeve, and said loudly: "Of course I won't let you go, if you want to leave, you will lose money." ”

The old man made a gesture and said, "Auntie, how much do you have to pay for this load of rice?" ”

"I'm a new rice, with a market value of twenty yuan."

"What? Twenty wen, your rice is worth ten wen at most, and you are too black-hearted. The little brother was a little angry, and glared at the boss lady fiercely.

At this time, there were already a lot of passers-by gathered around the three of them, and all of them looked lively.

"Little brother, don't be rude, the matter is that we are not right first, and besides, this eldest lady is working hard to grow rice, and it is not easy to make a living, so we should lose money."

The younger brother looked mournful: "Brother, we don't have much money, you pay her twenty wen, if you really enter the Li Mansion, how will you live in the future, I can't explain to my mother when I go back." ”

The older boy patted the little brother's head and said with a smile: "If I can really enter the Li Mansion as a housekeeper, won't I have a monthly silver to earn, you don't need to worry about this matter, you can't mention it to your mother when you go back, remember?" ”

When the proprietress heard that the young man intended to lose money, she smiled and said: "Isn't this done, or you are sensible as an elder brother, aren't you going to go to the Li Mansion to sign up for the family, then you have to hurry, I heard that the quota of the Li Mansion is almost full." ”

The young man knew that the proprietress was urging him to lose money, so he no longer hesitated, took out the money bag, counted out twenty yuan, and gave it to the proprietress.

"Auntie, I lost your money and didn't bargain with you, so I hope you can help me put away the rice, and I'll come and take it away later."

"Of course, since you lost money, this rice is equivalent to you buying it, I will naturally help you collect it, and by the way, I will help you clean it, you can come and pick it up at any time."

The young man waved again, took the hand of the reluctant little brother, pushed through the crowd, and hurried away.

The proprietress of the rice shop looked at the back of the young man who was hurrying away, checked the money in her hand, and said: "If you want to be the family of the Li Mansion, where is it so easy, everyone knows that the Li Mansion recruited the family this time, but the previous times were different, in addition to being able to endure hardships and work, you must also have knowledge and literary talents, I look at them, and it is in vain to go." ”

The people next to him echoed a few words, and then dispersed in a hurry.

When the young brothers rushed to the front of the Li Mansion, they crossed the front wall of the mansion, but found that there were few people in front of the Li Mansion, only two people and a donkey, one of them was dressed as a family member, sitting at the door of the mansion, with a mahogany square table in front of them, and the four treasures of the study room were placed on it.

Across the table was a young man dressed as a farmer, leading a donkey, arguing with the family.

The young man's heart tightened: "Could it be that I'm late, and the registration for recruiting family members has already ended?" ”

The young man stepped forward quickly, and he didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he said straight to the family: "Mr. is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion." ”

The young man said this very decently, the housekeeper was obviously dressed as a housekeeper, but the young man called him the housekeeper, obviously on purpose, and had invisibly brought a high hat to the housekeeper.

The family Ding really showed a smug look on his face and said: "I'm not a housekeeper, just a housekeeper in the Li Mansion who is responsible for registering and recruiting family members, what's the matter, are you also here to sign up?" ”

"Exactly, I encountered something on the way, but was it too late? If it's too late, I hope that the steward will give you a chance to do so. ”

"It's not too late, it's still too late."

The young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the household registration register from his arms, handed it to the family, and said, "Master Steward, can I register now?" ”

The steward opened the list with a uncertain face, but he never answered.

The young man was nervous for a while, and said in his heart: "Could it be that he has seen that my roster is fake, and prays for the protection of the ancestors, but don't let him see any clues." ”

The guy put the roster on the table and muttered, "Well, there's nothing wrong with the roster, you can sign up." ”

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart fell.

"But—" Jiading's words were obviously not finished, "You're still a little late, and if you want to go in now, you'll have to ........"

The man suddenly stopped talking, but stretched out a hand, and twisted his thumb and index finger together a few times.

The young man was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses, took out a few pennies from his arms, and gently put it in the hands of the family.

The family squinted slightly, and snorted, "It seems to be a little lighter." ”

The young man was very ruthless, and once again took out a few pennies from his arms and put them in the hands of the family.

The family Ding glanced at the young man with disdain, but finally took the money into his arms, turned the paper on the table upside down, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, fill out the registration book." (To be continued......)
