At night, the full moon is like a jade plate, and the autumn wind is slightly bleak. The servants of Xia Mansion sleep in the big bunk bed, and twelve people sleep in one room. Jiang Xia and Hai Dayou both slept in this room. In order to take care of Hai Dayou's age, the servants in the room specially gave the most reliable bed to Hai Dayou.

The cold night wind blew into the room from the broken window. Jiang Xia had the body of true energy to protect her, so she was not afraid of the cold. But the two servants beside him were holding the quilt tightly and their bodies were trembling.

Jiang Xia was so trembling that she couldn't sleep. She simply got up from the bed, put on her clothes and walked to the place where Hai Dayou slept. Jiang Xia carefully covered the quilt on Hai Dayou, then tiptoed out of the room and started running around in the yard outside the house.

At the beginning, after running for a few laps, Jiang Xia suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He stopped and looked back. With the bright moonlight, he could see that Xia Lin was standing there in a brocade robe.

"Young Master?" Jiang Xia was a little surprised.

Xia Lin nodded, "I don't sleep so late, why are you running here?"

"The weather is getting colder. Butler Wang hasn't sent anyone to add a quilt, so he is so cold that he can't sleep, so he just gets up and runs to warm up." Jiang Xia said.

"Hmph!" Xia Lin snorted lightly and said, "The accountant paid the silver for Wang Quan a month ago and asked him to buy a quilt for the servants in the mansion. However, Wang Quan lost all of them in the gambling stage. If it weren't for the fact that he was brought by Xu Fengxian from his parents' home, he would have been driven out of the Xia mansion long ago. Bear with it, this month's mansion has sent monthly rules, and Wang Quan will add quilts to you."

"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything wrong with the young master coming to this servitude hospital so late?"

Xia Lin nodded slightly and said, "I came here to find you. During the day, I told you that you would come and be my companionship student. But Xu Fengxian recommended Wang Quan's nephew, and Mei Yunyun recommended Ma Tong's nephew. My father had a pretty good impression of those two, and he was originally going to choose one of them.

I specially found my father at dusk today and told me. In the end, my father decided to hold a competition. Let the three of you compete together, and the winner will be my book boy. This matter is related to the face of my young master, so He An, you must work hard. You can only win, not lose!"

There is only one steward in the mansion, then Han Bo. There are two stewards, namely Wang Quan and Ma Tong. These two are the second wife Xu Fengxian and the third wife Mei Yunyun's confidant.

As the son of Xia Jialun and the eldest lady, Xia Lin naturally had a noble status in the Xia Mansion. However, the eldest lady died of illness shortly after giving birth to Xia Lin. In addition, Xia Lin has always been indulging in Yile and abandoning his studies, so Xia Jialun is both doting and taking care of him and angry at him.

It just so happened that Xu Fengxian and Mei Yunyun each gave birth to a son for Xia Jialun. They were not very different from Xia Lin and studied in the same academy. The performance of these two young men was much better than Xia Lin, so Xia Jialun was a little hesitant about the position of the Xia family's successor. Xu Fengxian and Mei Yunyun saw that they had the opportunity, and they were secretly helping their son.

Of course, although the two are competitors, they have not forgotten that they have a common enemy with each other. That is Xia Lin. Only when Xia Lin, a legitimate successor, was kicked out by Xia Jialun, will their son have the opportunity to take the position of successor.

Only by becoming the successor of the Xia family can Xia Jialun use all his resources and connections to the successor so that the successor can enter the court to obtain a job and then lead the Xia family to continue to be prosperous and prosperous.

Jiang Xia had just been in Xia’s house for seven days, but he could see clearly. I wonder if the Qianmen where he was in the past was the same?

Although he didn't understand whether the remaining memories in his mind were true or false, Jiang Xia instinctively rejected this intrigue and intrigue. However, on the surface, he had to show an excited and grateful look. He clenched his fists and waved his chest in the air, patted his chest and said to Xia Lin: "Young Master, don't worry, Jiang Xia will do his best."

"Yeah." Xia Lin nodded, "Then you rest early and be full of energy. After my father returned from the county government tomorrow at noon, he will call on the three of you to compete. According to my inquiry, Wang Quan's nephew has only been in a private school for two years, so he should not be afraid. But Ma Tong's nephew, you must be careful, he has a scholarly reputation. If he had not been from a poor family, he would not have come to be a companionship for this young master."

Haha, who said that the eldest young master of the Xia family is a fool? Isn’t this very smart? He actually got all the information of his opponent in this short period of time.

Jiang Xia nodded again and said that she would do her best. Xia Lin repeatedly told Jiang Xia to win, and then said, "Okay, it's getting late, I'm leaving." After that, Xia Lin left.

After Jiang Xia watched Xia Lin leave, he looked up at the night sky. Although Jiang Xia didn't know how to distinguish the time from the night sky at this time, it was estimated that it should be the second half of the night. Anyway, he couldn't sleep in bed, so why not continue running.

When he started running on the first day of the New Year, Jiang Xia didn't feel anything unusual. But after running for about an hour, Jiang Xia began to feel a warm air flowing around in his lower abdomen. It felt like there was a little mouse on his abdomen. Jiang Xia tried to control it to rotate in his body with his will. Every time the air flow passed by, Jiang Xia felt that the part of his body would become very warm.

One night, Jiang Xia was having fun with the airflow. Suddenly, a loud and loud rooster crowed, and Jiang Xia stopped running and looked towards the east. He suddenly realized that he had run all night without realizing it.

Huh... Jiang Xia took off the coat he was wearing, revealing his upper body with clear muscle lines. He twisted his clothes hard, and sweat oozed out of the clothes and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xia shook her head, not understanding why she ran all night and didn't feel tired at all, but instead became more and more energetic.

When the cock crowed, the servants of the entire Xia Mansion had to start getting up and do things. Jiang Xia carried a bucket of cold water with a bucket of water, took a random bath in the bathhouse, changed his clothes and went to the intermediate yard. According to the servant's work assignment, he should be responsible for cleaning the large yard of the intermediate yard today, and then chopped 100 kilograms of firewood to the kitchen.

There are twenty-five servants in the Xia Mansion and seventeen servants. Even though the Xia Mansion is very big, the work is divided into more than forty people, so there is basically nothing to do.

Jiang Xia arrived at the Intermediate Courtyard and picked up the big broom and just started sweeping the floor, he heard someone shouting at him, "Hey, hey, He An, right? Put down the work in his hand first and come here for me!"

Jiang Xia turned around and saw Wang Quanzheng, who was erect and had two beards with a big belly, looked at him with an unhappy look. Jiang Xia naturally understood that Wang Quan was coming for the competition for Noon, and he said in his heart: "Unfortunate." Then the man walked towards Wang Quan, "Butler Wang, what are your instructions?"

Wang Quan looked up and down at Jiang Xia. The strong hostility in his eyes made Jiang Xia unable to help but recall whether he had peeked at his wife taking a bath. Jiang Xia remembered for a long time that Wang Quan was in his thirties but had not yet begged for his wife.

Wang Quan said: "Boy, some people are born to be a cheap man, and it's okay to be a lowly servant. If you have delusions and want to climb a high branch and reach the sky in one step, you may not be able to reach the top in the end, and finally you can't even get it off the tree, and you'll have to lose your life."

Jiang Xia originally didn't want to make the conflict with Wang Quan too sharp. After all, he and Wang Quan were just chess pieces in the battle between Xia Lin, Xu Fengxian and Mei Yunyun. But Wang Quan's exit hurts people, which made Jiang Xia, a person who had always been respected, tolerate him?

Jiang Xia is tall, and is a whole head taller than Wang Quan. He looked at Wang Quan from a high place and said lightly: "Do you know, butler Wang? I think you are very pitiful. It's okay if you say you are stingy by nature and mean by nature, but the key is that you are ugly. What's even more excessive is that you are not only ugly, but also cheap.

Maybe for you, being your wife’s housekeeper and being an obedient dog, living a peaceful life is enough. But have you ever thought that if you are a dog, your son will also be a dog. Your grandson and great-grandson... As long as they accept your natural despicable idea, they must be a dog.

You say you are pitiful? You are obviously a person, but you have to start from yourself and keep your children and grandchildren as dogs. Let me tell you the truth, you don’t need to threaten me or use any means to me. I’m sure the eldest young master’s companion to study hard!"

"Boy, I think you're desperate!" Wang Quan was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood after Jiang Xia's words. He gasped in big mouthfuls, as if he would not be able to catch it in one breath in the next second, and he was just like he died.

Wang Quan raised his right hand and skewed Jiang Xia's face. Jiang Xia was ready to grab Wang Quan's hand accurately and said to him with a smile: "Before I failed the competition, if you dare to touch me, it would be a slap in the face of the eldest master. With the eldest master's temper, if you damage his face like this, your master may not be able to protect you. So before I advise you to take action, it is better to think clearly first."

After saying that, Jiang Xia let go of Wang Quan's hand. Wang Quan's hand was hanging in the air, and he really didn't dare to incite Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia looked at Wang Quan and snorted disdainfully, and suddenly raised his leg and pushed his knees violently toward his abdomen.

Wang Quan screamed, and curled up on the ground with his stomach in his arms. Jiang Xia squatted on the ground and patted Wang Quan's face and said, "If you dare to yell me to beat you everywhere, I will tell the eldest master, saying that you laughed at him as stupid as he actually asked a servant to compete with others for his literary talent. Do you guess he would believe it?"

After saying that, Jiang Xia threw away the broom in his hand and walked away with a smile.
