19. Qualifications for the examination

Without me!

My head thundered.

Naught!

The scene in front of you is like a sand dune sinking to the bottom, and there will never be a bubble again.

The three lucky ones, two martial artists, and one literati, wept with joy. They stepped out of the crowd and stayed with Dongfang Gui. The three of them shook hands with each other, hugged each other, and spoke loudly.

It's a touching scene – just not to me.

Dongfang said loudly: "Everyone pay attention: turn back and walk in unison!" ”

The rest of the people slowly moved away from them until they left the Dongfang Mansion.

I kept looking back at them. At first, they couldn't be heard, then the figures were blurred, and finally they couldn't even see them.

That's what I thought about all morning.

It's noon.

Our people set up camp in the woods on the outskirts of Luoyang. Spring plums have bloomed sporadically, the ice and snow are melting, everything is about to sprout, and my heart is dripping blood.

I thought about my next move.

Among those three, if each of the three young masters of the Dongfang family recommended one, I would not have any chance in this life - I would become a dead eunuch. But if Dongfang Yongbai did not install an agent in these three places, I could provoke their contradictions.

I walked towards Dongfang Qiang and quietly asked, "Of the three people selected in the morning to try, are there any people from Dongfang Yongbai?" ”

He frowned: "I don't know, what's wrong?" ”

Me: "It's okay. Just ask. You keep eating. ”

I found Xie Chendong and asked him in a low voice, "Brother, do you know who those three people are in the morning?" ”

He glanced aroundβ€”no one paid attention to usβ€”and whispered, "Two of Dongfang Yongwu, Wu, and one of Dongfang Yongde, Wen." ”

Fortunately, there is still a little chance, so I have to make a small report to Dongfang Yongbai quickly. I guess Dongfang Yongbai should know at this time, Dongfang Yongbai worked hard to find someone from all over the Central Plains, but Dongfang Gui dared to ignore him like this.

Xie Chendong: "I knew he would make small moves, but this time it was too much, and he didn't give the second child face so much." ”

Me: "It's okay. Thank you. ”

When I returned home in the evening, I looked at Dongfang Liang and Dongfang Tian from a distance, and I didn't see any different expressions from them, still talking and laughing.

I can't decide whether to go to Dongfang Liang to talk about it.

I can't sleep at night tossing and turning.

I don't know how the three lucky ones who went to the test are doing in Dijing now, and what they are doing in the Eastern Headquarters of Dijing. The only thing that is certain is that if I don't do anything now, I will only be a small staff member for the rest of my life; If you fight hard, the worst outcome is just that.

I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I have an idea.

Make up your mind and go to Dongfang Liang tomorrow.

At breakfast the next day, I quietly found Dongfang Liang, who was having dinner with Dongfang Tian.

I sat down beside them and said, "You have worked so hard for so many days. There is no one in the capital who will try. ”

Dongfang Tian: "Ha, 'we'? ”

Me: "We're all in this together. For you, for me. How could I not care. ”

Dongfang Liang: "Yes, you are also loyal." What do you think about this? ”

Me: "It's too much. That old guy doesn't have Dongfang Yongbai in his eyes. The master and you have worked so hard, all your efforts have been in vain! He didn't even take a fig leaf and hit us in the face! ”

Dongfang Liang: "Hmph! Tonight, Dongfang Yongbai came to Luoyang from Shandong. He'll take care of it himself. ”

So I stepped back.

When we gathered in the evening, Dongfang Yongbai walked in. He also brought two people, one tall and one short, who were the talents he recruited from Shandong and Hebei. The two people sat under the stage, and he walked directly to the rostrum, and the people on the stage immediately left their chairs, stood aside and said hello to him, and said, "Hello, second young master." Dongfang Yongbai nodded and stood on Dongfang Gui's chair.

The rest is business as usual.

During the meal, Dongfang Yongbai replaced Dongfang Gui and sat in the main seat.

But their table obviously didn't go well, Dongfang Yongbai and Dongfang Gui kept saying a word and I said a word, and no one else dared to look at them, and they didn't dare to take chopsticks.

Those of us at the bottom of the table left when we finished eating, and no one left at that table.

I was waiting for them in the far corner.

After a while, Dongfang Yongbai walked out alone, then Dongfang Gui also walked out, and finally the rest of the people walked out together.

I saw that no one was paying attention, so I found Dongfang Liang and asked, "Big brother, how is it?" ”

He: "Against him, the old noble slave of the East, the dog took advantage of the power of the people, and bullied the master, forgetting that he himself is just a slave raised by a dog!" ”

Me: "Won't he give a spot?" ”

Dongfang Liang: "He kept claiming that Dongfang Yongwu must have two places, saying that he was completely helpless. He wants us to compete with Dongfang Yongde for the third place. Three birds with one stone, they have grown their own prestige, extinguished our ambition, and made us have a stiff relationship with the third child. It's so ruthless! ”

Me: "What is the Second Young Master going to do?" ”

He: "I'm thinking about reporting to the head of the Oriental family." But this little thing is not worth bothering his old man. This matter is also a fifty board each, which is not a good thing for Dongfang Yongbai. ”

Me: "The villain has been thinking hard for a few days, and he has a good plan." ”

He looked at me with a strange expression: "You can tell me about it." ”

I could have gone directly to Dongfang Yongbai to tell him, but this kind of overstepping behavior is an extremely serious mistake. I told Dongfang Liang, and he told Dongfang Yongbai again, so that he could have face in front of Dongfang Yongbai, and he would naturally help me and recommend me.

Me: "I saw that Dongfang Xing, the big housekeeper of the Dongfang family, was also here. ”

Him: "What's wrong?" He's not in charge of trying it. Dongfang Gui is responsible for this matter. ”

Me: "He's really not responsible for trying this." But he's the chief steward, and he's in charge of everything. If Dongfang Yongbai makes trouble with the head of the family, the first thing the head of the family will probably do is to scold Dongfang Yongwu and Dongfang Yongbai for being ignorant, and the second thing is to scold Dongfang Xing for not doing anything. This is one of them. I have observed that he has been dissatisfied with Dongfang Gui for a long time, he is the staff of the head of the Dongfang family, and Dongfang Gui is just the staff of the prince Dongfang Yongwu, but I see that Dongfang Gui seems to have the final say, I have observed that Dongfang Xing seems to be dissatisfied, this is the second. ”

Dongfang Liang: "It's a little interesting, keep talking." ”

Me: "Dongfang Gui is only responsible for Dongfang Yongwu, he doesn't care about others, and he doesn't even care about Dongfang Family Master, so he will do this." But Dongfang Xing wants a bowl of water, and it is impossible for him to treat any young master badly. Dongfang Gui can anger Dongfang Yongbai, but Dongfang Xing can't anger Dongfang Yongbai. Thirdly. ”

Dongfang Liang nodded and said, "That makes sense." Dongfang Xing is too low-key, we all forgot about him. ”

I continued: "One last point. Dongfang Xing is the staff of the Dongfang family master, and he can manage the staff of the sons of the Dongfang family master, including Dongfang Gui, Dongfang Lu and you. Dongfang Yongbai is not as expensive as Dongfang, but Dongfang Xing can manage it. If Dongfang Gui does not accept Dongfang Xing, it is a capital crime. Fourth, too. ”

Dongfang Liang slapped his thigh: "You said it!" ”

I said, "He must manage for the sake of the head of the family, he must manage for himself, he can manage, he has the ability to manage, these are the four points." ”

Dongfang Liang: "It seems that we have to ask the big butler to come out." I'm going to talk to Dongfang Yongbai. Tomorrow he will return to Chang'an. ”

He said: "I didn't expect you Zhao Daniu to think a lot." ”

Me: "We didn't have anything since we were young, only me, so I had to rely on myself." ”

Him: "Not anymore." If it works, I'll recommend you to try! ”

Me: "That villain will serve the adults in the future!" ”

He waved his hand: "Everyone is a brother, what are you talking about?" ”

He turned and went.

I tossed and turned all night, sitting up and lying down, sometimes looking at the moon in the sky with my clothes on.

Xie Chendong asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Me: "Dongfang Yongbai is going to have a showdown with Dongfang Gui." We're sleeping here, and they're probably going to fight all night. ”

Xie Chendong: "Alas, you're still thinking about that." ”

Me: "Life is a toss! ”

The next morning was still a pre-training gathering that had not changed for thousands of years.

But this time, I saw two black cars driving towards us, exactly the same car, the same car from Luobei County to Luoyang City. The two drivers don't know each other, and there are Dongfang Yongbai, Dongfang Tian, Dongfang Liang, and two people who just came yesterday.

I felt like my heart was going to jump out.

Dongfang Law: "Zhao Daniu, out of the ranks!" ”

I immediately walked out and shouted, "Yes!" ”

Dongfang Liang in the car beckoned to me: "Get in the car!" Chang'an will try! ”
