Chapter 429 Application

Ye Feng was preparing to join the Li family to recruit servants, but he was not the only one who wanted to try this opportunity. Every time Li Caixue's family recruited servants, various forces would inevitably intervene, and this time would of course be no exception.

******************************************

The seasons and time in the Tianyuan Secret Realm were somewhat surprised by the outside world. Before Ye Feng came in, the outside world had already entered winter, but in the secret realm, it was beginning to spring.

In the 16th year of the reign of Huahua in the Tang Dynasty, although it was already March, the weather was not warm. The spring was chilly and the coldness was so cold that it seemed that the long winter had not passed.

Although the weather was a little cold, in a small alley in front of the Li Mansion, the mansion of Zhongshan King of Chang'an City, the two young men in the womb of the age of squat were flushed and sweated wildly towards the Li Mansion, which was only one street left. One of the boys in the lead seemed to run too quickly and accidentally knocked down the cargo load placed at the door of a rice shop. A load of rice spread all over the ground. The boy behind couldn't dodge, his feet slipped, and he threw himself heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.

The reason they are so anxious is that they are rushing to participate in the recruitment examination of the Li Mansion, a prominent family member in Chang'an. It is said that the Li Mansion recruits servants this time, and the registration qualifications are not restricted. Whether you are a farmer or a student, you can register. For the people in Chang'an City, being able to enter the Li Mansion as a clerk is no less than a fame. Although the Li Mansion is now in a downturn, it is the mansion of the prime minister of the previous dynasty and can become a member of the Li Mansion.

A small servant means that he will no longer have to worry about food and drink in this life, and he can save money and blessing the whole family. However, this time, the Li family recruits servants very high. Not only is the quota limited, but the sect is also quite high. It requires not only hard work, but also a certain degree of knowledge and talent. This one has turned away many people who have been farmers for generations and are ignorant of people. But even so, the people who have registered for the Li family this time are still crowded with people and are overwhelmed with their eyes.

A woman in her fifties rushed out of the shop. Seeing this, she was stunned for a moment, then she lifted her sleeves and cursed at the two teenagers: "You two little kids are rushing to reincarnate. Have your eyes grown on the butt? If I break a load of rice, no one of you will run away. Let's pay."

The young man who had knocked over the rice before didn't care about the boss's wife at this time. He turned around and helped the young man who fell to the ground up, bounced the dust, and said with concern: "Little brother, how are you doing? Are you okay?" The skin on the boy's face was very strange, saying it was gray or not. It was black and black, which made his eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose contours extremely blurred. Although he was not abominable and ugly, he was also the kind of person who forgot that he would not leave much impression when he passed by. He was a little thin and dressed in a coarse cloth lace. Although he was washed clean, he could not hide his dilemma of poverty. The only thing he could do was the only voice he spoke, which was crisp and melodious, and very impressed.

On the other hand, the younger brother who fell had beautiful eyebrows and delicate skin. He looked very handsome. Judging from the appearance of these two boys, he would never be a brother.

The younger boy looked painful and said, "Brother. I'm fine, but we knocked over someone's rice. What should I do now? You have to go to the Li Mansion to register. If you miss the time and can't get through the registration, what should I do? Today is the last day."

The older boy comforted, "My brother, don't worry, the Li Mansion is not far ahead, so it won't be a mistake."

"But, brother, we have overturned other people's rice. Will the boss let us go?"

The proprietress next to her was already frustrated, so she stepped forward and grabbed the brother's sleeve, and whispered loudly: "Of course I won't let you leave, I'll pay if I want to leave."

The old boy bowed and said, "Auntie, how much does it cost to pay for this load of rice?"

"I'm new rice, with a market value of twenty cents."

"What? Twenty cents, your rice is worth up to ten cents, you are too unscrupulous." The little brother was a little angry and glared at the boss's wife fiercely.

At this time, many passers-by had gathered around the three of them, and their faces looked like they were watching the fun.

"My brother, don't be rude. The matter is that we are wrong first. Besides, this aunt has worked hard to grow rice and is not easy to make a living. We should pay for it."

The younger brother looked sad: "Brother, we don't have much money at all. You pay her twenty cents. If you really enter the Li Mansion, how should you live in the future? I can't explain to my mother when I go back."

The older boy patted the younger brother's head and smiled and said, "If I could really join the Li Mansion as a servant, wouldn't there be Yueyin to make money? You don't have to worry about this matter, and you can't mention it to your mother when you go back. Do you remember?"

The boss lady immediately became smiled when she heard the boy's original intention of losing money: "Isn't this what you are doing? You are the sensible brother. Aren't you going to go to the Li Mansion to register for a servant? Then you have to hurry up. I heard that the number of servants in the Li Mansion is almost full."

The boy knew that the boss's wife was urging him to pay the money, so he no longer hesitated. He took out his money bag, pointed out twenty cents, and gave it to the boss's wife.

"Auntie, I paid you money and didn't bargain with you, so I hope you can help me collect the rice and I'll take it away later."

"Of course, since you have lost money, the rice is equivalent to you buying it. I will naturally collect it for you and clean it for you by the way. You can get it at any time."

The young man bowed again, took the hand of the reluctant little brother, pushed away the crowd, and hurried away.

The owner of the rice shop looked at the boy's back as he hurried away, weighed the money in his hand, and spat: "It's not that easy to be a servant of the Li family? Everyone knows that the Li family recruits servants this time, but the previous few times were different. In addition to being able to endure hardships and work, they also need to have knowledge and literary talent. I think they will go in vain if they go."

Everyone next to him followed him for a few words and then scattered.

When the young brothers rushed to the front of the Li Mansion, they passed the wall in front of the house, but found that there were only two people in front of the Li Mansion, and there were only two people and a donkey. One of them was dressed as a servant, sitting at the door of the mansion, with a square mahogany table in front of them, and the four treasures of the study were placed on it.

Opposite the table of the house was a young man dressed as a farmer, holding a donkey, and was chatting with the house.

The boy felt nervous: "Am I late and the registration for recruiting servants has already ended?"

The young man stepped forward quickly, and didn't care about sweating, and rushed to the clerk, "Sir, the butler of the Li family."

The young man said this very appropriately. The servant was obviously dressed as a servant, but the young man called him the housekeeper. It was obviously doing it on purpose and invisibly put a high hat on the servant.

The clerk really showed a smug look on his face and said, "I am not a housekeeper, but just a manager in charge of registering for the registration of the recruitment of the clerks in the Li family. Why, are you here to register too?"

"That's right, I encountered some things on the way, but were you late? If it's too late, I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance."

"It's not too late, it's still time."

The boy was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the household registration list from his arms and handed it to the servant, saying, "Master, can I register now?"

The manager opened the list, his face unpredictable, but he never answered.

The boy felt nervous and said to himself: "Did he see that my list is fake and pray for the blessing of his ancestors, but don't let him see any clues."

The clerk placed the roster on the table and pondered: "Well, there is no problem with the roster, you can sign up."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, and the big rock fell in his heart.

"But..." The servant obviously hadn't finished speaking yet, "You're still a little late. If you want to go in now, you'll have to..."

The clerk suddenly stopped talking, but stretched out a hand, twisted each other with his index fingers a few times.

The boy was stunned for a moment, but he would immediately feel sorry for it, took out a few cents from his arms, and gently put them in the hands of the servant.

The Ding Wei narrowed his eyes and snorted: "It seems to be a little lighter."

The boy was cruel and thoughtful. He took out a few cents from his arms again and put them in the hands of the servant.
