Qingshan Town, as in the past, is as calm as ever.

In the center of Qingshan Town, a mansion several times larger than the surroundings.

That's right, this is the mayor's mansion.

The tall vermilion gate, the two stone lions in front of the door are lifelike, and they are particularly magnificent.

Chen Yan's father and son got up early today and came to the town early, and are now on their way to the mayor's house.

A moment later, Chen Yan and his son came to the gate of the mayor's mansion.

"Xiao Yan, you wait here, I'll go talk to the housekeeper", Father Chen said to Chen Yan.

"Good father, I'll wait here," Chen Yan replied obediently.

After Father Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the door, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door..."Knock knock"...

"Who's knocking early in the morning," I saw a small guy poking his head out of the door.

"Who are you? Do you know what this place is, and if you disturb the town chief's rest, you don't want to live...".

"This little brother, it was your housekeeper who asked me to come today, and yesterday he said that I would just come today", Father Chen arched his hand and said.

"Are you the one who sells foxes?" Yesterday the housekeeper told me that if a fox seller came today, let him in," the little servant wondered.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm the one who sells foxes, and I'm here today to bring my son, and the place of the scholar promised by the housekeeper will be given to me," Chen's father hurriedly replied.

"Just wait here, let your son and I go to see the housekeeper," the little servant said to Chen's father.

"Good, good... Then it's going to be troublesome little brother", Father Chen hurriedly said to the little guy. "Xiao Yan, you go in by yourself, I'll wait for you here, if you come out and say something", Chen's father turned back to Chen Yan and said.

"Well, I know, I will, when I have a chance to honor your old man, my brother should be back soon when he goes to the capital to take the exam, and I can rest assured that he will accompany you", Chen Yan nodded and said.

"Xiao Yan, don't say that, I'm sorry for you, you know the conditions of our family, you can only give your brother to study, and often borrow money, this time you come to be this scholar, you can read more or less, I can also make up for a little bit of what I owe to you", Father Chen said quickly, and after speaking, Father Chen's eyes became apologetic.

"Father, don't say that, I know this, I don't blame you", Chen Yan saw his father like this, and hurriedly said.

"In the end, you can't go, if the housekeeper waits for your position, it will be gone", the little guy said impatiently when he saw this.

"Xiao Yan, go in, don't worry about me", Father Chen saw that the little guy was a little impatient, and hurriedly said to Chen Yan.

After speaking, he walked to the side of the gate, sat on the stone steps, took out his dry tobacco pouch, and smoked it with a click.

Chen Yan turned around and followed the little servant and walked towards the housekeeper's residence.

Along the way, I saw rockery ponds, and the side of the path were all flowers and plants that Chen Yan had never seen, and after walking for a while, the two came to a small courtyard.

The little maid knocked on the door and said in a loud voice, "Lord Butler, I brought you the person you asked for yesterday, what else do you have to tell the little one?"

After a while, I heard a somewhat hoarse husky coming from the door, "You go down first, I'll call you ......... if there's something."

"The little one has retired," said the little guy who walked back the way he came.

"Your name is Chen Yan?" The hoarse voice came out again......

"Yes, my lord, my name is Chen Yan, a native of Chenjia Village," Chen Yan replied with his head down.

"Well....from today onwards, you will be the second son's scholar, do it well, your benefits are indispensable", a low and hoarse voice came out again.

"Master Butler Xie, I will do a good job and will not disappoint the expectations of adults," Chen Yan said with a grateful face.

"Okay, you go down, naturally someone will take you to the second son", there was a little impatience in the hoarse voice.

"The villain retired first", Chen Yan bowed respectfully, then turned around and walked out.

It wasn't until Chen Yan walked away that the voice just now said faintly again: "If it weren't for the fact that the fox had a little aura, how could the deity talk so much nonsense with you, and without the replenishment of aura in this way, the cultivation would slowly disappear."

"Shou Yuan doesn't have much left, and if I don't take away this body, I'm going to collapse, if it weren't for that incident back then, how would I have fallen to such a point...... Hey...!".

"After searching for so long, this child with spiritual roots has not been found, should this be my life?"

After saying Chen Yan, after coming out of the courtyard, he met the person arranged by the housekeeper not far from the courtyard, and saw that the housekeeper had already arranged it.

This person was a young man dressed in linen and gray, and after seeing Chen Yan, he greeted him coldly, and then took him directly to the door of the second son.

He left without saying a word, his expression was very indifferent, Chen Yan didn't care about it, and smiled helplessly.

"Is the second son here? May I ask if the second son is there?" Chen Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who? Don't you know that this son is sleeping?" After a while, a lazy voice came from the room.

"When is this still sleeping, big families are different", Chen Yan muttered in his heart.

Of course, this Chen Yan didn't dare to say it, so he said: "Second son, I am your new scholar, and the housekeeper called me over."

"Scholar, why did my father find me a scholar again, hey, forget it, you wait, I'll get up", the second son's voice was full of impatience, but he said helplessly.

After Chen Yan waited for a stick of incense, the second son opened the door and said to Chen Yan, "Come in."

Chen Yan said yes and walked in, just entered the door, only to see the second son sleepy-eyed, as if he hadn't woken up, Chen Yan secretly smacked his tongue.

This second son looks unusually handsome, with the appearance of a handsome son, but his face is a little pale, and this sleepy-eyed appearance destroys this handsome appearance.

The second son saw that Chen Yan had been looking at him as soon as he came in, and he couldn't help touching his face and said, "What's the matter?

"No, no, no, no, I just saw Childe's handsome appearance, and I lost my mind for a while", Chen Yan smiled wryly, and slapped a small ass.

"Hehe, you kid can speak, I like it, you will follow your benefits in the future", the second son looked very happy when he heard Chen Yan's words.

"Okay, next to my house is the study, and there is a small room behind the study, and you will live there in the future, and then I will go to the master's place to listen to the class, and you will go with you and help me get the books."

"Okay, that's it, I've seen it, I'll call you in the future, don't run to me if you don't have anything, you go out!" After the second son gave Chen Yan a brief introduction, he immediately sent Chen Yan out, and it seemed that he still wanted to go back to sleep in the water!

"Yes, second son", on the first day of work, Chen Yan seemed a little restrained, and walked outside after agreeing.

closed the door casually, walked to the study next to it, and after entering, he saw a room full of books, and Chen Yan felt a little dazzled.

"Oh my God, when will I finish reading so many books?" Chen Yan couldn't help but sigh.

He is now a little sympathetic to this second son.

Walking through the study, there was a small room behind the study, Chen Yan pushed the door and went in to see, there was everything inside, so there was no need to ask for it himself.

"Okay, now that the situation has been implemented, go and talk to my father, so as not to worry him."

Thinking of this, Chen Yan hurriedly walked out and returned to the gate according to his memory.

After a few words with Chen's father, he told the scholar that he had done it, so that Chen's father should not worry too much, and Chen's father was very happy when he heard that the matter had been implemented, and then instructed Chen Yan to do things well and not to live up to the position of scholar given by the housekeeper.

Chen's father didn't stay long, and then returned to Chenjia Village.

Seeing his father's figure gradually moving away, looking at it from a distance, his father's back in the distance was a little stiff, and tears appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

I secretly encouraged myself in my heart that I must do a good job and earn more silver taels, so that my father would not work so hard.

After that, Chen Yan returned to his place of residence, looking forward to his work tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Chen Yan got up.

Started to prepare the books that should be taken today, the second son had come to inform him last night, he should behave better today, and hurriedly washed up, Chen Yan took the books and came to the door of the second son.

"Second son, it's time to go to class", Chen Yan shouted.

"I know, you wait, I'll come out", it didn't take long for the second son to come out, and it seemed that he was still quite afraid of the town mayor.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the master to listen to the class, and the master was in the mayor's mansion, not far from the second son's residence, and the town chief specially invited him to teach the second son.

In this way, Chen Yan repeated this work day after day, year after year, spring went to autumn, time flies, and Chen Yan has been in the mayor's mansion for three years.

In the past three years, Chen Yan has learned a lot of useful things, in addition to going to class with his second son, he often goes out for a stroll or something, and his life is happy and happy.

Secondly, I also recognize a lot of words, in the past three years, as long as the second son goes to class, Chen Yan will listen to it on the side, and when he comes back, he will review it by himself, and Chen Yan has read almost half of the books in the study, which has increased his horizons a lot.

Especially when I saw some miscellaneous notes, the content in them made Chen Yan yearn for it, and he had an urge to go out for a walk and understand the prosperity of the world outside.

Among these miscellaneous notes, one of them is the most attractive Chen Yan, that is, there are gods in this world, and all the immortals in the book have earth-shaking powers.

Taking the enemy's life thousands of miles away with his backhand, this tattered book doesn't know where Chen Yan found it from that corner of the study.

Although the author of this book said at the end that these are all hearsay and boring works, Chen Yan is still very interested in the content.

"Chen Yan... Where did you kid die, why don't you hurry up and give me a chance to get out of here."

A loud shout came from outside, shattering Chen Yan's illusions.

"Come on, I'll come out right away, second son," Chen Yan said hurriedly.

In the past three years, although the second son has not been good to Chen Yan, he is not bad, at least he has not beaten and scolded Chen Yan, so Chen Yan still does not have much bad feelings towards this second son.

Chen Yan opened the door and greeted him, "Second son, aren't we going to go to the master's place today?"

"I'm not going today, I asked you to tell you that I'm going to Lingcheng with my father in a few days, and I may not be able to come back for a while, and I don't need a scholar, I'm going to Lingcheng to study after this year."

"Where", Chen Yan showed hesitation.

"I have already told the housekeeper, he will arrange a new job for you later, for the sake of your dedication and service in the past three years, you will continue to stay in the house, and the one hundred taels of silver here is counted as your hard work for you", seeing Chen Yan's expression, the second son smiled and said.

"Second son Xie, I will definitely do a good job", Chen Yan said with a grateful face.

"Well, do it well, I'll be back in a few years, I hope I can see you then", after the second son finished speaking, he turned around and left, it seemed that he was in a hurry.

"The second son walks slowly", Chen Yan said loudly.

Seeing the figure of the second son go away, Chen Yan turned around and walked into the study and returned to his residence.

"I took the money home again this time, and I have saved some money this year, so let's take it home next time I go home and bring it back together", Chen Yan looked at the small bag in his hand and whispered to himself.

"It's better to go to the housekeeper first to ask for a job, and have a place to live, it seems that you can't continue to live here."

Chen Yan immediately packed up a change of clothes and some daily necessities and walked towards the housekeeper's residence.

After a while, Chen Yan came to the door of the housekeeper's small courtyard.

He walked up to the door and knocked on the door, "... Da Da Da Da ...Is the housekeeper here? I'm Chen Yan, and the second son called me over, and he said that you have arranged a new job for me."

"Come in", the hoarse voice was as hoarse as ever.

Chen Yan pushed the door in, and after walking a few steps, he saw an old man in green clothes sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard.

This old man's face is thin and blue, but there is a bit of black gas in the green, and he looks very strange, Chen Yan shuddered in his heart when he saw this, how could there be such a strange old man?

"Your name is Chen Yan?" and the strange old man spoke again.

"Yes, my name is Chen Yan, and you recommended me a year ago."

"Oh, that's right", after speaking, the old man suddenly looked up at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, this old man's eyes were too weird.

At that moment, Chen Yan seemed to see that the old man's eyes would glow, which made Chen Yan feel incredible, and before he could clear his thoughts, the old man withdrew his gaze.

After a while, the strange old man said faintly: "In the future, you can follow me, my yard is usually not cleaned by anyone, so you can stay and help manage this yard! There is an empty house in the south, you live there, you are not allowed to go to my house without my permission, otherwise you will be severely punished."

"Okay, you go down!" The old man in Tsing Yi said in a somewhat low tone.
