When Chen Fan came to the Li Mansion according to the drawings, he was really taken aback by the scene in front of the Li Mansion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea of people!

Chen Fan looked left and right, and saw that people were divided into two rows, and he didn't know where he should stand for a while, when he saw a person walking by who also seemed to be participating in the selection of the family, and dragged the other party and said in a harmonious voice, "This brother, I first came to your place to participate in the selection of the Li Mansion, and I saw the two rows in front of the Li Mansion, I don't know why!"

The man took a few steps back and looked at Chen Fan carefully, and after seeing his tattered clothes, he pointed to the team on the left and said with a look of disgust: "I see that you are poor and sour, you want to enter the Li Mansion to be a family member!

Looking in the direction of the man's finger, Chen Fan nodded and thanked him, and then continued to ask, "Then this brother, I don't know what the other team does?"

I saw that the man glanced at Chen Fan with disdain, and then said, "Those people are all famous talents in Wuling County, they are here to be able to enter the Li Mansion as an escort, and they can get close to the eldest lady of the Li family!

Chen Fan glanced at the man lightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, if it weren't for the public, just by the tone of his words, Chen Fan could kill him ten times or eight times.

But now is not the time, Chen Fan walked to the line of the family without saying a word, and the man saw Chen Fan leave without saying a word, snorted coldly, spat on the ground, and scolded the roe deer.

The family and the talented people are selected separately. The speed of talent selection is very slow, but the selection of the family in front of him is very fast, and some guys run out in disgrace after less than a minute of entering.

"Brother, what's in it?" Chen Fan asked, holding a defeated candidate.

The candidate said with a bitter face: "I don't know what to take the test myself, I don't know any of those words, woo." My poor Li family Ding Meng, my dream lover Miss Li, we say goodbye forever, woo-"

Chen Fan was stunned and watched the shocking-looking guy rush away, and a sentence popped up in Chen Fan's mind: A typical toad wants to eat swan meat.

Chen Fan wandered around for a while, and saw a guy who looked like a steward guarding the door of the family's application, supervising the applicants to enter one by one, with a proud and proud expression.

This steward is nearly forty years old, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and silver light flashing in his eyes, judging from Chen Fan's observation, this guy is naturally a person who is good at opportunism.

Chen Fan smiled, took out a tael of silver from his arms and grabbed it in his hand, walked a few steps quickly, and quietly came to the steward's side and said, "This steward, please take a step to speak." ”

Although this is called the steward, he is called the deputy chief when the family members talk to him, but he is very promising, and his immediate boss, the steward, went to supervise the recruitment of talents. With the experience of this deputy steward, of course he knows that as long as he bears the name of the Li family's steward, he is definitely a sought-after commodity among the talents.

Those talented men were generous, and in order to gain the favor of the eldest lady, didn't they all rush to confront the steward? In this way, the steward had at least eighty to one hundred taels of silver in a day.

This deputy steward hates the deputy word in front of him, supervising the family Ding to apply, this kind of errand without oil and water, of course, it is his turn to do it.

At the end of the day, I only had a mere five taels of silver in my hand, which was still a lot of broken silver. He itched the teeth that these poor people hated, but there was no way, could the people who came to apply for the examination be rich?

"What's the matter with you—" Before he finished speaking, the deputy steward saw a flash of silver light in Chen Fan's hand.

"Hmm-" The deputy steward's eyes lit up, and after taking a few steps, Chen Fan made a move for one or two pieces of silver, although it was still a lot less than those talents, but in this Ding application group, it was definitely a generous shot.

This kid has a future, and for the sake of the silver, the deputy steward immediately has a "good impression" of this miserable boy. ”

"What's the matter?" said the deputy steward in an official tone, taking advantage of people's inattention, and quietly pocketed a tael of silver.

It's easy to do it after collecting the money, Chen Fan knew it in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what this steward is called." ”

"My surname is Pang, I am appreciated by the eldest lady, and I am currently the deputy steward of the Li Mansion. Deputy Steward Pang said with an arrogant face, but when he said the sub-word, a trace of indignation flashed in his eyes, obviously he was deeply dissatisfied with this sub-word.

"It turns out that you are the manager of Pang," Chen Fan looked at him and exclaimed, as if he hadn't heard the word "deputy" in front of him at all: "Oh, your name is really thunderous, it's better to be famous than to meet, and it's better to meet than to be famous." ”

Deputy Steward Pang gave him a strange look and said, "Do you know me?"

Chen Fan had a mesmerizing smile on his face: "Of course." Although I have not met you, who in this Wuling County does not know the name of your huge steward. Righteous liver and loyalty, righteousness and thin clouds, single-minded, loyal to the country, good name spread all over the world. ”

Chen Fan used almost all the praises he had ever heard. Touching the sweat on his head, I couldn't help but be in awe of those who were good at climbing dragons and phoenixes, how did they lick their faces and say those disgusting words?

And the latter is even more shameless, he smiled and nodded when he said these words, and he actually took it alive.

Chen Fan glanced around, and then secretly leaned into the ear of Deputy Steward Pang and said, "Moreover, I heard rumors from the outside world that the steward of this Li Mansion should have been yours." But last time, that guy played a despicable trick and deceived the eldest lady, and only then did he ride on your head. That guy is really despicable, shameless, and nasty. ”

There is an inherent contradiction between the main position and the deputy position, and he has seen this kind of thing countless times. What's more, this deputy steward Pang is naturally mean-looking, saying that he doesn't covet the position of the steward, absolutely no one believes it.

"Don't talk nonsense—" Deputy Steward Pang said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "Unity is very important. Steward Wang and I are both for the Li Mansion, and our relationship is very harmonious. It's not as bad as the outside world rumores!" was just a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it revealed his thoughts.

"That's, that's-" Chen Fan followed his words with an extremely flattering smile: "You work together in a team, leading hundreds of family members of the Li family, and your feelings are naturally quite deep. ”

"Do you have anything to do with this steward?" Deputy Steward Pang was quite satisfied with Chen Fan's performance, but he was not a stupid person, so he naturally knew that this guy who suddenly appeared and slapped himself on the back must have an ulterior motive.

Chen Fan gave a thumbs up to Deputy Steward Pang: "Talking to a smart person like you is easy to do." He glanced around and said in a low voice: "Don't hide from the huge steward, I originally came for an interview today, but unfortunately there was something at home temporarily, which delayed the trip, no, it has already passed the time, so I want to trouble your huge steward to be more accommodating, let me go in and try." ”

Deputy Steward Pang said in an official tone: "How can you be so untime-conscious, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time, do you know? How many people want to be a housekeeper in our family, do you know? How many people want this first opportunity, do you know?"

Deputy Steward Pang kept saying, "Do you know", and Chen Fan was furious when he heard it, but at this time, when he was under the eaves, he had to pretend to be a grandson. Chen Fan nodded desperately and said: "Steward you are right in education, I hope that in the future, I can have more opportunities to bathe in the rain and dew of Steward Pang and listen to your teachings more, so that I can grow up healthier and stronger." Chen Fan couldn't stand himself anymore after he finished speaking.

On the other hand, Deputy Steward Pang is very useful, and he also has a little "love for talent".

This matter is also easy for Deputy Steward Pang, but officials have this temperament, small things have to be said big, big things have to be said to be huge, Deputy Steward Pang is even more of a leader, he deliberately frowned and said: "In this way, I have to teach you more in the future, it's not impossible, it depends on whether you have that blessing." Although I was recruited by the family this time, this recruitment was done by someone below, and there were many people, and I was not very easy to meddle in-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a flash of white light in Chen Fan's hand, and another tael of silver appeared in front of him, Deputy Steward Pang's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face was a little more.

Chen Fan resisted the urge to beat the pig's head, and said with a smile: "Please also ask the huge steward to help a lot." ”

"Well, okay, I'll go in and try it, maybe they'll still sell me this thin noodle, you wait a minute. Deputy Steward Pang grabbed the silver and put it in his sleeve, and then disappeared into the recruitment room.

Chen Fan spat at his back fiercely, what the hell is going on, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about Wei Lao in his heart: Didn't you say that it was arranged? Why do you add money yourself!

At this point, Chen Fan looked down on himself a little. Damn, after you go in, you must get back ten times the capital. He hated the house and Wuxia, and he was also deeply dissatisfied with Wei Lao, if it wasn't for the old man who kept setting a trap, would he be able to drill here?

With the silver to open the way, things went extremely smoothly, and Deputy Steward Pang walked out after a while and said with a smile: "Okay, I still have a little thin noodles, you can go in now." But whether you succeed or not, it's all up to you, and in the current situation, I can only help here. ”

In the current situation, in the ears of a smart person like Chen Fan, he naturally knows the meaning of his words, and he can only exchange for a few taels of silver, so he can only get a chance to go in for an interview, and if he spends two hundred taels of silver, this Deputy Steward Pang may directly get him an interview question.

You Pang dog has a lot of appetite, Chen Fan was annoyed in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and he said respectfully with a smile: "Thank you Pang for your support and love." ”

Deputy Steward Pang hummed and said, "You are clever, I am very optimistic about you, don't let me down." ”

"That's, that's. Chen Fanpi said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, what's your name?" asked Deputy Steward Pang

"My name is Chen Yan. Chen Fan said.

"Chen Yan?" Deputy Steward Pang's face suddenly changed: "You are Chen Yan?"

"yes. Chen Fan was stunned, why does this guy seem to know me.

Deputy Steward Pang's face immediately changed, and he quickly took out the two taels of silver that he had hidden in his sleeve just now, handed them to Chen Fan, and then said, "Hehe, this, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it before, you were introduced by Zhao Lao! Don't stand outside, hurry up, come in, come in." ”

Now Chen Fan was in a daze, this guy was so funny, why did he become so polite all of a sudden? Listening to what he me, he seemed to know me, could it be-

Chen Fan's mind flashed, yes, yes, it must have been explained by Wei Lao before leaving. But what's going on with this Zhao Lao?

However, Wei Lao's hand also made Chen Fan a little resentful, you said that you arranged it, and you also told me how to arrange it, causing me to waste saliva and pat on the back in vain, Chen Fan was really annoyed in his heart, seeing the flattery on the face of this deputy steward Pang, and his previous demeanor was extremely imaginary, and the situation of the two was completely reversed.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and besides, he also slapped the fart of Deputy Steward Pang just now, although Chen Fan was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at this time, and he didn't say much to Deputy Steward Pang at the moment, took the silver in his hand and slipped in.

Entering the room, the first thing to do was to record the table, and a housekeeper sat at the table and said angrily: "Name-"

"Chen Yan. Chen Fan replied.

"Are you Chen Yan?" The family Ding glanced at him, immediately stood up, his face was much better, and said respectfully: "Chen Shao, please take a seat." ”

However, the more respectful he was, the more Chen Fan felt that it was not right, and what was wrong with it, Chen Fan did not come up with it now.

As soon as the person in charge of registration looked at Chen Fan, who was frowning, how dare he slack off, so he stood there, respectfully copied his name on a small piece of paper and numbered it, and then handed it to him with both hands and said, "Chen Shao, please come inside." ”

Entering a small house inside, several family applicants were holding brushes in their hands, facing a blank piece of paper in front of them, scratching their ears and cheeks with a sad face. Chen Fan glanced at it and saw a few crooked words written on the white paper in front of those guys, not to mention how ugly they were, like earthworms crawling.

"Do you know poetry, write a few sentences!" a guy handed Chen Fan a brush, took his name tag and glanced at it, but he didn't have the same respect as the people in front of him, and said to Chen Fan impatiently.

"Writing poems?" Chen Fan was also stunned, he finally knew why the guys in front of him were sad. These people are all here to apply for the family, naturally the family is poor, there are few people who are literate at all, and they may be good at chopping firewood on the mountain, let them grab a pen and write, it is estimated that they don't even know how to write their names!

At this moment, Chen Fan was wondering if he was applying for a job?!
