Chapter 0006 The distress of the housekeeper Jiang Zheng
Under this fierce competition, Jiang Hanhou Mansion is in a difficult situation.
Now, there is only the last six months left for the Qianlong Examination. The performance of his predecessor, Jiang Chen, is a mess. There is still a lot of unfinished assessments that should be completed.
Even if the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony hadn't happened, Jiang Chen was still one of the favorites for relegation, with only 30% to 40% chance of passing the assessment at most.
However, Jiang Chen is not depressed now. On the contrary, he is extremely excited.
"The strong are respected. It seems that these laws of survival are the same from the heavens to the mortal world. I was unable to practice in my previous life and had no chance to experience it. In this life, I have a great time and I cannot miss it no matter what!"
In his previous life, he was the son of the Emperor of Heaven and had a high status. Almost no one dared to offend him. Moreover, his Taiyin body was unable to practice. Even if he wanted to hide his identity and compete with others, there was no way to do so.
In this life, he can finally practice happily and enjoy the feeling of hitting the pinnacle of martial arts. This is his favorite stage.
"I promised Dongfang Lu to enter the palace for consultation with the princess in three days. I have to make good use of these three days. And my current identity is that I am a descendant of the princes who participated in the Qianlong Examination. The Qianlong Examination is still half a year away.
, it’s time for the general examination. Now that I am the heir of Jiang Hanhou, although my position as a prince is nothing, I still have to give this lovely father some face, right? I can’t let my father not even keep the order of the princes.
?”
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Jiang Chen realized that time was running out.
It has to be said that the punishment of the staff in the Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven is indeed cruel. Not to mention the predecessor Jiang Chen, even a warrior with twice the strength would definitely not be able to save his life.
Now Jiang Chen has picked up a bargain and obtained the physical body of his predecessor Jiang Chen. But the injuries on this physical body are really serious. If it is not dealt with, let alone entering the palace for consultation with the princess in three days, even if Qianlong will try at the end of this month
I'm afraid I'll miss the quiz too.
There are quizzes every month in the Qianlong Examination, and the scores are accumulated. Once you miss the assessment of a certain month, you will miss a lot of homework.
Originally, his predecessor, Jiang Chen, already owed a lot of homework. If he delayed it any longer, he might be kicked out before the final exam.
This is something Jiang Chen doesn't want to happen.
If it was a previous life, with this kind of injury, as the son of the Emperor of Heaven, he has studied alchemy for millions of years, and is a loser in martial arts, but in alchemy he is a famous master of alchemy in the world. Even many alchemy immortals will come to him.
He asked for advice on elixirs. If it were a previous life, just a single elixir would instantly restore his energy and strength.
But today's conditions are completely incomparable to those in the previous life.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen had been in charge of Tianlang Book Garden for millions of years in his previous life, and had read all the classics in the heavens. From the mortal plane to the divine ways of the heavens, he had covered a wide range of topics.
Dealing with this kind of injury is a piece of cake.
After resting for a night, Jiang Chen thought for a while the next morning, took out his pen and ink, and wrote a list.
"Jiang Zheng!" shouted outside the door.
Jiang Zheng was the entourage specially arranged by Jiang Hanhou for Jiang Chen to take care of Jiang Chen's daily life and diet. This time Jiang Chen got into trouble while eating breakfast at Songhe Tower, and Jiang Zheng was criticized as well.
I felt restless all night last night. As the saying goes, the master humiliates the servant and dies. Logically speaking, Jiang Zheng should have died to apologize.
However, he was really unwilling to do so. He could not be said to be careless in serving this young prince, but this young prince was really not very motivated.
Other princes followed the young marquis's servants and butlers, who were popular and drunk, and were sought after wherever they went. The one he, Jiang Zheng, was serving, would always do something odd and strange, and he would show up every other day.
And if this little master gets into any trouble, he will always ask Jiang Zheng to top the tank.
Therefore, following Jiang Chen these past few days, he was putting out fires and pushing the envelope. Jiang Zhengfei did not feel the glory of his improved status, but instead felt that he was working hard and couldn't bear it.
If nothing else, this young man has never spent a lot of money. Today if this friend gets into trouble, he will pay to settle it; tomorrow if the brother gets into trouble, he will pay to settle it.
Although Jiang Hanhou is very generous with money, he can't help this young man being so squandering. No, it's only the middle of the month, and this month's expenses have already bottomed out.
Therefore, it is a blessing for Jiang Zheng to be pure now. As soon as he hears Jiang Chen's voice, his head starts to hurt.
But when the master calls, he cannot answer.
"Little Marquis, my subordinate is doing things poorly and failing to take good care of me. Please give me a good scolding. Even if I am dismissed from my job, I will never complain." As soon as he entered the door, Jiang
Just fell to his knees.
The previous words such as "If you don't do things well, please ask the young Marquis to give you a beating" are all polite words. Marquis Jiang Han doesn't pursue the case anymore, which means that Jiang Zheng has escaped.
Although this young prince is a dandy and unmotivated, he does not have the bad habit of abusing his subordinates.
If it were his predecessor Jiang Chen, he probably wouldn't be able to understand the true meaning of Jiang Zheng's words. But today's Jiang Chen has millions of years of experience in his previous life, and he can be said to be knowledgeable about world affairs and well-versed in human relations.
Hearing Xian Ge, he understood the elegant meaning. He knew that Jiang Zheng, the housekeeper, was afraid of being tormented by his predecessor, Jiang Chen, and wanted to give up the job.
Jiang Chen didn't reveal the truth and said with a smile: "Jiang Zheng, my father sent you to follow me because he originally wanted to give you a fortune. These days, you have not been able to enjoy the wealth. You have been so busy and busy.
I wipe my butt and put out the fire, and I will keep all the credit and hard work in my heart."
Jiang Zheng was stunned, what kind of wind is blowing today? When did this young man learn to say such words that know both coldness and warmth?
"Jiang Zheng, this month's monthly payment has bottomed out, right?" Jiang Chen asked with a half-smile without waiting for Jiang Zheng to speak.
"This...that..." Jiang Zheng had never enjoyed this kind of conversation, and he was at a loss for a moment. He almost wanted to reassure himself that the young Marquis didn't need to worry about this matter, I, Jiang Zheng, would arrange it.
But then I thought about it, that’s not right! If my breasts are patted down, how can I find money to fill these holes? This man’s mouth feels like he has sugar in his mouth today, isn’t he just trying another trick to prank me?
With a thought, Jiang Zheng's sense of vigilance instantly increased tenfold.
Seeing Jiang Zheng's lingering fear, Jiang Chen laughed: "Jiang Zheng, it's like this. I have a list here with some medicinal materials. You can go to the Medicine Master's Hall and help me get one according to the portion."
Jiang Zheng took the list numbly, but his steps remained motionless. We have the list, but where is the money? The medicinal materials in the Medicine Master's Hall are not free, right?
Medicine Master’s Hall is not opened by your family, right?
"Jiang Zheng, if we are not masters and servants now, we are just chatting with friends. Please tell me, as a housekeeper, to what extent do you think the ideal state is in the housekeeper's profession?
In other words, is he the strongest butler in your mind?"
The strongest butler?
Jiang Zheng is about to cry, let alone the strongest. I, Jiang Zheng, am the servant butler of the 108 princes, and I am happy if I am ranked last.
"Don't be so bitter and talk about it." Jiang Chen encouraged.
Jiang Zheng paused, swallowed his saliva, and bravely asked, "You really want me to say it?"
"Say, if you speak well, you will be rewarded!"
Forget it if there is a reward like a blank check. Jiang Zheng looked like he didn't dare to accept the advice. Jiang Chen did often get rewards, but more often, he just rewarded you with a thousand taels, and he might ask you to borrow two taels later.
Thousand taels.
But when it comes to the strongest butler, the most stylish butler, and the most ideal butler status, Jiang Zheng's mind inevitably starts to race.
Speaking of which, although the followers of the powerful are not the powerful themselves, they still have career dreams.
Some people even made up short jokes——
Seeing the serious look on Jiang Chen's face, Jiang Zheng didn't know where he got the courage and said: "Little Marquis, there are some jokes that are very popular among the kings. They are about doing our job."
"Oh? Tell me." Jiang Chen was also curious.
"This paragraph says it is - delicacies from mountains and seas, fresh clothes and angry horses, a single-family manor, and a house full of gold and jade."
"When you talk and laugh, you are a noble, and when you come and go, you are a noble; when your wives and concubines are in harmony, your children and grandchildren will enjoy happiness."
"A frequent visitor to Songhe Tower, a patron of Spring Return Garden; he went to prostitution with princes, drank with ministers at the same table..."
Jiang Zheng said three or four paragraphs in one breath, and Jiang Chen clapped his hands and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, very interesting. When spring returns to the garden, it must be the land of wind and moon, right?"
Jiang Zheng smiled apologetically, but he felt very contemptuous in his heart. It's not like you've never been to this place before, so why are you pretending to be fresh?
"Jiang Zheng, after observing you some time ago, I am assured of your ability to do things. If you can handle this errand now, it won't take long. I will help you with the riches and honors in these stories one by one."
You realize it. When the time comes, you will definitely feel that you are the most successful and proud steward in the Eastern Kingdom!"
"An errand? What errand?" Jiang Zheng was stunned. His first feeling was that something was going to happen to this young man again, and he had to be more vigilant.
"It's the list you have in your hand. You have to keep it, it's worth a thousand dollars. Take it to the Medicine Master's Hall and find their person in charge."
"Why are you looking for the person in charge? If you want to buy these medicinal materials, any guy in the palace can arrest him. The person in charge of the Medicine Master's Palace is very pushy, and he doesn't just show up at the drop of a hat." Jiang Zheng said angrily.
"Hehe, just go. If the person in charge of the Medicine Master's Hall doesn't see you, just tell them that there is no such shop after this village. I will hug you and beg you from now on, and I won't regret taking the medicine."
Jiang Zheng couldn't help but touch the young prince's forehead. Could it be that the young prince was confused and had a high fever? Was he talking in his sleep?
Jiang Zheng knows very well how high the threshold of the Medicine Master's Hall is and how arrogant the people in the Medicine Master's Hall are. Every time he goes to buy elixirs for this man, he has learned from experience. They don't have time to talk nonsense with you.
.
"Jiang Zheng, you must be scolding me in your stomach, thinking that I am talking in my sleep. You feel that I am cheating you by not giving you any money and asking you to get medicine. Let me tell you, this list in your hand is not an ordinary list.
, that is an elixir recipe, a lost elixir recipe from ancient times. If this elixir recipe were put up for auction, you would never be able to get it for ten million taels of silver."
"Elixir?" Jiang Zheng showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Little Marquis, please don't amuse your subordinates. Since when did our Jiang family have any ancient elixirs? Do you think your subordinates can bear it mentally?"
We haven’t reached our limit yet, but I want my subordinates to experience what it means to be cornered?”
Jiang Zheng was smiling, his eyes were red, he was really about to cry.
