Nangong's house is a single courtyard, in the easternmost part of Xunyang Town, next to Xunyang Restaurant in Xunyang River. In modern terms, it's a riverside villa complex!

In the early morning, the Xunyang River is full of fog, the mountains are hazy, the water is hazy, the people are hazy, and the buildings are also hazy. Tang Jin thought of Bai Juyi's depiction of "the river is cold to the bottom, and Kuang Mountain is green and leans on the sky." "The view, I'm afraid I can't see it today.

In the haze, Xunyang Tower reveals a sharp corner, which is even more mysterious and desirable. The two approached Xunyang Tower, the fog faded, and their vision suddenly became broader. This Xunyang building is three zhang high, majestic and majestic, the outer three layers and the inner four layers, the top of the nine ridge layers, the dragon eaves fly, the tile Zhu column, the cloister on all sides, simple and dignified.

Although it is early in the morning, Xunyang Restaurant is already full of friends, drinking tea, staying in the store, chatting, eating, coming from the south to the north, so lively. However, the topic of most locals is naturally inseparable from the recruitment of family members in Nangong Mansion.

Five zhang away from Xunyang Restaurant is the riverside villas of Nangong Mansion. There are six quaint main buildings in Nangong Mansion, and there are three two-story small buildings scattered under the main building, which is the number of nine palaces. Most of the main buildings are four floors high, and the highest one is five floors high, which is the "Xunyang Residence" of the head of the family, Nangong Ling, which is a metaphor for the meaning of "the respect of the Ninety-Five", which is the living place of the head of the family.

The whole mansion is four meters above the river embankment enough to prevent floods, and the base is all built of large bluestone, and the project is huge. The mansion sits on the north and faces south, and the east and west sides of the wall courtyard are deep. At the main entrance, there are a pair of large stone lions with a height of the feet to welcome the guests.

Before entering the mansion, Tang Jin was deeply shocked by the shape and momentum of the Nangong Mansion, and the so-called flowing water villa of modern people is nothing compared to this.

Tang Jin and Fan Lin registered at the door and entered the inner courtyard under the leadership of a small servant. Crossing a water suspension bridge and a labyrinthine group of rockeries, Tang Jin and the others came to a wide corridor. Turning east and west, Tang Jin and the two came to a main building, called "Pipa Garden".

Tang Jin is like Grandma Liu has already turned dizzy when she enters the Grand View Garden, looking at the three beautiful characters on the lintel in front of the building, "Pipa Garden", I don't know where this is going?

Fan Lin on the side whispered: "Tang Jin, the boudoir of Nangong Wan, the daughter of Nangong Mansion, is called 'Pipa Garden', hehe." "This kid laughs at a **.

"Oh." Tang Jin nodded, and said in his heart, "Qiu Xiang"'s boudoir? Well, this arrangement, this environment, does have some taste.

Turning around a zigzag lotus bridge over a lotus pond, the two came to a large garden. At the gate of the courtyard stood a pair of maids in black suits. Tang Jin pondered, could it be that these two maids would be able to martial arts?

"Let's go in, and we'll interview inside." The little servant led it to the courtyard gate and retreated.

Tang Jin looked inside, and there were indeed many people standing in the garden, about twenty or thirty. It seems that we are not the first.

"I handed over my identity card at Steward Jiang, and went to wait in line over there." The maid at the door pointed out to Tang Jin and the others.

There is a table and a chair in the garden, and the person sitting on the chair is in his forties, wearing a small black hat, wearing a blue and white robe, black beard and white face, holding a brush, and his temperament is very similar to that of a steward. Tang Jin always felt that this person's appearance and temperament were very similar to Fan Hongxuan's Gongsun Ce.

Tang Jin and Fan Lin walked up to Steward Jiang and handed over the small bamboo pieces that had been registered at the front gate of the mansion before. Steward Jiang registered according to the calligraphy on the small bamboo piece and said, "The two of you are the thirty and the thirty-one. ”

"Yes."

Tang Jin and the others retreated to the side and lined up, saying in their hearts that they didn't expect so many people to apply? Among them, the younger ones are similar to themselves, and the older ones probably have to be in their forties, right?

When the big guy saw Tang Jin and the two coming, they all looked at the past, but they couldn't hide their contempt and hostility in their eyes.

After a while, Xiao Er, Zhu, and Dali, under the third hand of the Splash King, came panting. Several people quickly handed over the bamboo chips and stood beside Tang Jin.

"Tang Jin, you hurt our boss to have a high fever at home, and you can't participate in the application, you are dead!"

"Offended our boss, you won't have a good life in the future!"

"That's it, grandma, I'm going to embarrass you when I take the exam!"

Tang Jin and Fan Lin looked at each other and smiled, with a high fever? Haha, you deserve it!

The three of them looked at Tang Jin with hatred, and finally provoked the manager to get angry, "Wait for the three of you to be quiet!" Disqualify again and expel you from the door! ”

The three little splashes wilted, and they stood there and didn't dare to speak.

After a while, the hour came, and a total of 62 men and women participated in the interview. The two maids closed the courtyard door of the garden, retreated into the back door of the garden, and went straight to the main building.

Steward Jiang purified his throat and said, "The assessment of the family will start immediately!" I will first read out the principles and precautions for this family assessment. ”

The so-called assessment method read out by Steward Jiang is very strange, not to let everyone carry sandbags, nor to ask everyone to chop wood and sweep the floor on the spot, but to answer questions.

It is said that the Nangong family has also recruited family members in the past, as if whoever has the strength to carry things, who can wash clothes with quick hands and feet, and who can do it quickly with a quick brain, will be hired.

But this time was different.

This time, the questions were answered orally. Roughly speaking, every time Steward Jiang reads a question related to a skill or knowledge, if you know how to do it, please raise your hand.

"First question, if you think you are brave, please raise your hand." Steward Jiang looked at everyone after speaking.

Most of the people are happy, this question is simple.

"I, I'm brave, I dared to peek at the king's widow taking a bath at the age of ten."

"I'm also brave, I dare to kill pigs."

"I'm brave, I'm not afraid of ghosts!"

"I'm braver than all of you, I dare to kill!"

……

Looking at those who raised their hands to answer, Steward Jiang read aloud: "There are thirty-eight brave people, including Hugua, Zhuzi, Xiaoer, Dali, Luo Hui, ......."

Tang Jin and Fan Lin were not on the list. This is not that Tang Jin is low-key, but that he is full of confidence in his application this time.

The vigorous and contemptuous one showed off in front of Tang Jin: "Coward! You two are waiting to be eliminated! ”。 Tang Jin didn't pay attention to him, whether he was brave or not didn't rely on his mouth.

Just when these "warriors" were glad that they boldly expressed their brave hearts, the back door of the garden opened, and the two black-clad maids who had appeared before reappeared, followed by a beautiful woman with a pretty figure and a black veil on her mouth.

Steward Jiang immediately stood up and saluted: "Miss." ”

Most of the people guessed who this woman was, it was Nangong Wan. Many confident people are secretly excited, and the small family interview also attracted Miss Nangong to show up? Now I have to show myself in front of the eldest lady.

Tang Jin's eyes lit up, Qiu Xiang is here? Ouch, that's good!

Nangong Wansheng's delicate and slender, covered with a black veil, eyebrows like ink paintings, like autumn water, indescribably soft and delicate, a plain white skirt, indescribably ethereal and light.

My goodness, is my goddess "Akika" shining so soon? Am I going to do a good job and get her attention? Must drop!

"What do you see, Miss Nangong can also see with your dirty dog eyes?" The vigorous on the side scolded Tang Jin.
