On the second floor of Tonglai Chamber of Commerce, Shi Qing sat in front of the table, resting his chin on his palm, muttering to himself: "Will that person come today?"
For some reason, Shi Qingxuan was full of expectations for the man wearing the mask yesterday.
She thought to herself that maybe it was because that person was very mysterious and she wanted to solve the mystery.
…
Chen Yang got up very early in the morning, but he did not leave the room, but practiced in the room.
It wasn't until he heard Cui Ying's voice that he stopped and left the room.
After washing, he sat at the dining table with Huo Yu, Huo Yinger, and Cui Ying and had breakfast together.
Huo Yu was still serious about his words. In the middle of the meal, Cui Ying went to Yang's house to get some meat buns. Huo Yu said to Huo Ying'er: "Ying'er, don't just play around all day long. Practice more when you have time, or you can ask for it from the master for your father's sake."
Wouldn’t it be that all the elixirs were in vain?”
"I know, Dad, you are really long-winded."
Huo Ying'er muttered something and buried herself in her meal, obviously not listening to Huo Yu's words.
Huo Yu frowned and said displeased: "If you continue to waste time like this, I won't be able to help you for the rest of your life. What's more, although my status as the Yang family's housekeeper is noble, you should look higher. If you can
If you cultivate to the realm of alchemy before the age of twenty-five, it will not be difficult to marry into a truly wealthy family."
Huo Ying'er hummed and agreed on the surface, but in her heart she didn't take Huo Yu's words seriously.
When Huo Yu saw that his daughter couldn't talk to him, he snorted coldly and glanced at Chen Yang who was eating calmly next to him. He didn't like it for some reason.
How unbecoming is it for a grown man to stay in my house and not leave?
Huo Yu changed the direction of the attack and said to Chen Yang seriously: "Chen Yang, since you plan to live in Anyang, staying in our house is not an option. Besides, a man should stand upright and start a family. In my opinion, you should find someone as soon as possible.
A job.”
"I understand, thank you uncle for your concern."
Chen Yang disagreed in his heart, but on the surface he agreed with a smile.
Seeing this, Huo Ying'er rolled her eyes at Chen Yang and muttered: "Men should practice martial arts, or alchemy, formations, weapon refining, and demon taming. As for other things, they are all trivial. You are like this now
If you are young and really want to stand upright, you should not listen to my father and find a job, but you should..."
"Ying'er, you can't say that."
Huo Yu interrupted his daughter and continued: "Cultivation, alchemy, etc. are naturally superior, but not everyone has that talent. Ordinary people should naturally have ordinary people's way of living. In this world, we also need
Ordinary people, doing ordinary things."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Yang and said seriously: "Although Chen Yang is ordinary, as long as he works hard, he will not be unable to marry a wife and have children in Anyang City in the future and live an ordinary life."
Huo Ying'er glanced at Chen Yang and saw the lazy smile on Chen Yang's face. She didn't think he was a promising person. She thought to herself that maybe it would be better for Chen Yang to live peacefully.
So she agreed: "Dad, you are right. Even if Chen Yang wants to practice, he doesn't have the conditions."
Huo Yu nodded and said to Chen Yang: "Xiao Chen, don't say that your uncle won't help you. As the chief steward of the Yang Mansion, I also have considerable power."
After a pause, Huo Yu proudly puffed up his chest and continued: "The Yang Mansion is recruiting servants recently. If you are willing, I can recruit you into the Yang Mansion and become a glorious servant with just one word."
Servant."
"And I can help by moving you to the young master's side and becoming his personal servant. That position is not ordinary. When the time comes, even some small businessmen will have to treat you respectfully."
Seeing that Chen Yang remained silent, Huo Yu continued: "Xiao Chen, I can tell you, I don't know how many people want this position. But in the end, it's just a matter of words from me, the big housekeeper. As long as I help you, you will at least
It will save you fifty years of detours. After entering the Yang Mansion, you, a single foreigner, can reach the sky in one step."
Chen Yang held back his laughter and said to Huo Yu, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. I am not interested in being a servant for the time being."
"Not interested!?"
Huo Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, with a look of displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, you are young, so don't be too ambitious. Could it be that Young Master Yang's personal servant has such a high status that you can't look down on him?
"
Huo Ying'er also advised: "Chen Yang, this is an opportunity. The young master is easy to serve, a very nice person, and very loyal. It will be very good for you to become his personal servant."
Chen Yang really didn't want to offend Huo Yu and Huo Ying'er, so he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. As for being a servant, I don't need to. I have my own plans for my future."
"you……"
Huo Yu's face darkened and he said: "I tell you, you only have three days. After three days, the high position of the young master's personal servant will belong to others. I hope you can think clearly and give me an answer within three days.
There is still a chance.”
At this moment, Cui Ying came in from the outside with a basket in hand, put two baskets of steamed buns on the table, and said to everyone with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Huo Yu looked unhappy and said: "Weren't we recruiting servants recently? I said I would help Chen Yang and make him the young master's personal servant, but he actually refused. Alas, at such a young age, one can only aim high. How big can he be in the future?
achievements?"
Cui Ying rolled her eyes at Huo Yu and said: "I said yesterday that Chen Yang is a capable person. He can even defeat bandit gangs, how can he become a servant? In my opinion, he should join the army and join Anyang City
The city guards can at least become generals in the future."
Hearing this, Huo Yu and Huo Ying'er both showed disapproval.
Huo Yu smiled and said: "Yingzi, do you know what level the City Guards General Liu is? He is a master of the second level of mortal world, and his strength is extraordinary. Chen Yang... forget it, I won't say it anymore."
Huo Ying'er glanced at Chen Yang, but shook her head, suddenly feeling a little pitiful for Chen Yang.
Cui Ying refused to admit defeat, glared at Huo Yu, and said angrily: "Don't believe it, I believe in Chen Yang, he will one day become the general of the city guard army."
Chen Yang looked up at Cui Ying and said with a smile: "Aunt Cui, do you really want me to become the general of the city guard army?"
Cui Ying was just talking. Chen Yang really wanted to become the general of the city guard army, but she still felt that it was a bit unreliable.
But she still encouraged: "Chen Yang, come on, I believe in you."
Chen Yang touched his nose and said with a smile: "Okay, when I have time, I will pay a visit to the city lord's mansion and ask him to make me a general of the city guard army."
"You see, this is not so lofty and ambitious, it's just too high and low."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Huo Yu shook his head, with an expression of hatred for steel, he stood up and walked towards the small door leading to the Yang Mansion, saying: "General Chen, I hope you can succeed."
Chen Yang smiled and said: "Uncle, I can lend you some good words."
