Qin yuan's sentence waited a moment, which directly made Tang Jie wait for several months.
Until June, Qin finally brought good news - there was a vacancy.
A few days ago, a young man in charge of the garden in the Wei family died of an emergency and needed to fill the vacancy. After the news came out, several stewards of the Wei family recommended people to the government. Steward Qin recommended Tang Jie.
The next morning, steward Qin and Tang robbed the Wei house.
As one of the five families in Canglong mansion, the family background of the Wei family is really extraordinary.
The Wei family alone occupies more than half of Qingyun street, with more than 400 houses, including six guanghuayuan, in which nearly 300 people live.
At present, the Wei family has the largest seniority. Naturally, old master Wei and old lady Wei.
The old man and his wife have two sons and two daughters, both of whom have been married.
The eldest son, Wei Danbai, is the current owner of the Wei family. He has a wife and two concubines. Zheng Shufeng, the main room Wei, has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Wei Tianzhi, is now in the moon washing college, and the second daughter, Wei qinger, has gone to the magic heart College of Qianqing school. The youngest son is Wei Tianchong. There is also a son and a daughter who are born from a concubine and have no inheritance qualification, but they don't even have the opportunity to enter the college. In some aspects, they are not as good as servants.
Tianzhi, Tianchong. We can see the ambition of the Wei family from its name. It's running for God.
When Wei Danbai got his son, the Wei family had become powerful in Canglong mansion. Therefore, they no longer considered making money, but cultivating immortality and Taoism.
Unfortunately, their foundation is still shallow. Up to now, there are no real self-cultivation immortals in the family. Only some heavily paid external spiritual masters are still incomparable with the Jin, Zhang and Gu families. As long as the Wei family can produce their own spiritual master, they can protect the family for a hundred years. If you can get out of heaven, the Wei family will no longer be the Wei family of Canglong mansion, but the Wei family of Lingzhou.
As for the state-level family, it is necessary to have more than one state of mind, and the family itself has its own inheritance.
In addition to Wei Danbai, the second son of the old man, Wei Qingsong, also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son, Wei Ming, and the youngest daughter, Wei die.
Among them, Wei Ming also entered the college the year before last, but like Wei Tianzhi, the door is open and the cultivation is difficult. Compared with Wei Danbai, Wei Qingsong can give his son fewer resources. Therefore, the old man has no great expectations for this vein, so the main expectation of the Wei family is Wei Tianchong.
The Wei family values boys over girls, but they don't pay much attention to the cultivation of girls - there's no need to spend valuable resources for other people's daughter-in-law.
Therefore, there are not many female practitioners in the immortal world, not because of their poor qualifications, but because the help from the family is much less than that from men. It is said that Wei qinger was taken away by qianqingzong after being favored by qianqingzong because of his excellent talent. Otherwise, he is afraid that he is still waiting for words at home.
It can be said that all the hundreds of people in the Wei family are used to serve the elders, wives, young masters, young ladies and grandmothers of the Wei family, and the garden factotum Tang Jie wants to apply for is the meditation garden rushed by the young master Wei Tian.
Because of this, the battle of servants was particularly fierce.
In addition to the Tang robbery brought by the first supervisor Qin yuan, the second supervisor and the third supervisor also brought a boy respectively. In addition, some foreign house directors of the Wei family recommended that a total of 18 teenagers stand in front of Zheng Shufeng, the wife of the Wei family, and say hello to her.
Finally, this era is not as disgusting as the Qing Dynasty. Servants don't have to call themselves slaves or kneel when they see people.
In fact, this era is more like the Tang Dynasty when the earth was on earth. The atmosphere is more open. Although there are various upper and lower rules, servants are not Dalits, but they also have their own dignity.
After all, the world that can cultivate immortals is itself a world full of opportunities. Even the poorest people may soar.
Because it was to choose servants for her son, Mrs. Wei's family seemed particularly solemn and chose them herself.
At this moment, she sat in front of the hall, dressed in a red satin shirt with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, with a jade bead hairpin on her head, and two female maidservants gently shaking the fan behind her.
After drinking a cup of tea, he slowly said, "please report your name first."
Eighteen teenagers signed up one by one, and their own documents were recorded next to them.
Then the wife said, "if you can read, raise your hand."
Eighteen teenagers raised their hands at the same time, and the instrument ticked each of the eighteen names, indicating that the pass was qualified.
In fact, the young people in the Canglong mansion are seldom literate if they come from a poor family.
However, most of the people recommended this time are the elderly in the house. They have clear requirements for the Wei house. They will never pick some unqualified people.
Even Tang Jie was repeatedly asked by Qin yuan in advance and accepted only after confirming that his conditions were qualified.
Tang Jie began to read in Xiaohe village. He had a good foundation in learning. He learned Chinese characters very quickly. After following Xu Muyang, he was idle every day and had to practice calligraphy.
According to Xu Muyang, the words are not written well. What symbol do you draw?
He thought that there were always a few illiterates among the 18 people who came this time, but he didn't expect them to be well prepared.
The lady said again, "if you can do arithmetic, raise your hand."
Several people didn't raise their hands this time, but most still raised their hands.
Mrs. Wei said again, "if anyone has done something in a big family, raise your hand."
Fewer people raised their hands this time, only Tang Jie and two other teenagers.
Mrs. Wei asked the three people about their work experience in detail. Tang Jie made up his experience in a large family as early as the Wu family. After six months of lying, he is now more familiar.
After hearing this, the wife of the Wei family asked, "tell me what flowers you have planted."
This is not many people talking.
Ordinary flowers are not rare in the Wei family. It's no use talking about them. The poor boy is not qualified to fiddle with those precious flowers and plants.
Everyone looked at each other and was relieved to see that no one raised their hands.
Instead, Tang Jie thought, raised his hand and said, "I have raised thousands of flowers."
All the teenagers changed their faces at the same time.
"Oh?" Mrs. Wei was interested. "Tell me how to raise it."
Tang seized his mind and replied, "Qianzhan flower is a needle shaped flower with sharp spines on its roots, stems and leaves. It is a very drought resistant plant. Its stems can be used as medicine. If it can be cultivated for ten years, it can have a certain spirit. It blooms every three years. Because there are many needles and leaves, if there are thousands of flowers in bloom, it is called Qianzhan flower."
"Good, very good!" Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction. "This is what you learned from the people you followed before?"
"Yes." Tang Jie replied, "thousands of flowers don't like the humid environment, so most of them are in the north. It's not rare, but there are many fewer in Canglong mansion."
In fact, this flower was left by people before he bought the house.
Tang Jie heard that the thousand flowers bloom beautifully, so he stayed to take care of them. Unfortunately, he took care of them for more than half a year and never saw them bloom once. Unexpectedly, he used them here to answer questions.
There must be more than one flower in the Wei family's garden, but it's better to know one first than not.
"Yes, that's why we should be more careful." the wife smiled at this moment, then turned to others and said, "you don't blame you for not raising any valuable flowers. If the flowers planted by the Wei family are no different from ordinary people, they have lost their value. So you don't have to worry. You can learn what you don't understand. The Wei family will teach you."
Everyone was relieved to hear this.
It's a pity that Tang robbed. Although he didn't expect to be elected on this point, it's a pity that he can't play a role with such an advantage.
The wife is good-natured and throws out problems one by one. It seems that it is necessary to thoroughly investigate these teenagers.
Speaking of performance, none of the 18 teenagers did well.
However, Tang Jie knows his own family affairs. His biggest problem is that there are some problems in his origin.
Although there is a guarantee from the two elders of the Wu family, it is not as good as those teenagers who are born and bred and know their roots.
Fortunately, he already cares about this matter, so he is not afraid that his wife cares more, but only that she cares less.
After asking some more questions, the wife said leisurely, "if you enter Wei's house, how much do you think is appropriate?"
That's a subtle question.
Fortunately, these young people were prepared, and the clever first came to answer: "naturally, the wife has the final say, and how much is the wife?"
"Yes, it's a blessing for the young students to work for the Wei family. How can they ask for a price."
What's more, the boy who did everything for the opportunity said loudly, "as long as you can enter the Wei's house, I'm willing to take nothing!"
Most of these teenagers are young, but they are mature and sensible at this moment. Tang Jiaxin knows that most of them have been taught by their own adults long ago.
At this moment, everyone declared their position one after another. Tang Jie thought about it, but replied, "if your wife wants to, Tang Jie hopes to get three monthly wages."
Three Guan coins, that is three thousand Wen copper coins, equivalent to three Liang silver.
In other words, Tang Jie asked for a salary of 3000.
It is normal that this price should be put in the present world, but for the young servants of the Wei family, it is simply astronomical.
No one has ever dared to ask such a high price!
For a moment, all the teenagers were stunned and looked at Tang Jie. Qin yuan was even more surprised. Is this boy crazy? How dare you ask the Wei mansion for money?
Even Mrs. Wei looked at Tang Jie in surprise: "do you want three Guan money?"
Tang Jiemian was embarrassed. He bit his teeth and said, "yes! Please forgive me. When I came out to work, I wanted to climb the high branch of the Wei family, but more importantly, I wanted to earn some money for my righteous parents."
"For the two elders of the Wu family, don't they have enough money?"
"That's not true." Tang Jie replied, "it's just that my adoptive father is old and worked hard when he was young. Now he will have muscle pain and fatigue every rainy day. Canglong mansion is a city with plenty of water. There are many rainy seasons. I want to buy some miraculous medicine for my adoptive parents, but the price of miraculous medicine is very expensive..."
Tang Jie didn't go on, but his wife already understood.
"So it is." the wife nodded. "I heard Qin yuan say about you. It's a coincidence that you were picked up by the second old man of the Wu family from the snow. You treat the second old man well on weekdays and are quite praised in the neighborhood. It's rare that you know how to repay him. You're a good child."
Then the wife smiled and said, "well, that's all for today. You all go down first. When you choose, you'll be notified."
Eighteen teenagers left one after another.
Back to the Wu family, the two elders of the Wu family hurriedly asked how Tang Jie was, and Tang Jie answered them one by one.
On hearing that Tang Jie asked for three passes, the two old men cried sadly at the same time. The old lady complained: "you child, you are very clever on weekdays. Why are you so ignorant today. The children of other people don't want money, but you want three passes. It's really... Hopeless."
Tang Jie didn't explain, but said with a smile, "if there's no hope, there's no hope. It's good to serve you in front of the second old man."
The two old men sighed together, but they were helpless.
Eighteen teenagers left here, but the wife of the Wei family was still looking at the information one by one. The two little girls behind looked at no one around and talked to themselves.
I think the young man surnamed Li is good, and I think the young man surnamed Liu is more suitable. At the same time, I said, I think you are moved by spring. Look at other people's beauty, and the two began to fight together.
Mrs. Wei shook her head and coughed. The two little girls shut up and couldn't help laughing quietly again.
Mrs. Wei said, "what are you laughing at?"
A girl replied, "Madam Hui, I'm thinking that the young man named Tang Jie dared to ask for three Guan money, and I can open my mouth."
"Yes, I really thought the Wei family begged him to enter."
While they were talking, steward Qin came in. Hearing this, he couldn't help blushing and bowed: "madam, those boys have been sent back."
"Yes."
Qin yuan thought about it and said, "don't take it to heart, madam, as the Tang robbery said today."
"Take it to heart?" the wife replied, "what do you mean?"
"It's... The salary for the three passes," Qin yuan replied.
The wife slowly drank a cup of tea: "why, do you think my Wei family can't afford to invite people?"
"Of course not, but the boy is not sensible..."
"I think he is very sensible." the wife has replied: "when the second old man of the Wu family saved his life, he tried his best to have no future. He also has to take care of the second old man. It can be seen that he is kind-hearted and sincere. At a young age, he knows that kindness and filial piety come first. This is a good thing."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei sighed: "if you know who is not in the world, if you treat him well, he will certainly repay you. At the end of the day, are there still few ungrateful people? Therefore, the first priority in choosing servants is loyalty. Intelligence is good, but sincerity is more important!"
Qin yuan was overjoyed and knew that there was a way to do it.
A girl nearby said, "but the boy's origin is shallow. He knows people, faces and hearts."
Qin yuan was so angry that he didn't dare to scold. His wife snorted: "You have taken advantage of the Li family to help you speak well? What if you've been here for a short time? Not everyone needs to be innocent. That brother has turned against each other, and the kindness of a meal has also been rewarded by Yongquan. Why can I exclude the public's opinion to let Qin yuan become the chief steward of the guard house? Isn't he a reliable person because he knows his kindness and plans to repay it? Although the origin of the Tang robbery is unknown, but He is kind-hearted and has a good heart. I think he is more reliable than those with a foundation. "
"Isn't that an extra three dollars a month?" muttered another little girl.
The wife glanced at her angrily and poked her forehead with her pointed fingers: "Look at you carefully. What's a few dollars? In order to make a spiritual master of the Wei family, the master is willing to throw millions of liang of silver. What's more, Wu Xing is studying with Tianzhi now. If he knows that other teenagers in our family don't choose the most expensive one, he should think it's taking care of his family in advance? So Ah, it's settled. Let's choose this Tang robbery! "
"Madam, this is a good lesson!" the steward Qin bowed to the end.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Qin yuan's sentence waited a moment, which directly made Tang Jie wait for several months.

In some aspects, they are not as good as servants.Tianzhi, Tianchong. We can see the ambition of the Wei family from its name. It's running for God.When Wei Danbai got his son, the Wei family had become powerful in Canglong mansion. Therefore, they no longer considered making money, but cultivating immortality and Taoism.Unfortunately, their foundation is still shallow. Up to now, there are no real self-cultivation immortals in the family. Only some heavily paid external spiritual masters are still incomparable with the Jin, Zhang and Gu families. As long as the Wei family can produce their own spiritual master, they can protect the family for a hundred years. If you can get out of heaven, the Wei family will no longer be the Wei family of Canglong mansion, but the Wei family of Lingzhou.As for the state-level family, it is necessary to have more than one state of mind, and the family itself has its own inheritance.In addition to Wei Danbai, the second son of the old man, Wei Qingsong, also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son, Wei Ming, and the youngest daughter, Wei die.Among them, Wei Ming also entered the college the year before last, but like Wei Tianzhi, the door is open and the cultivation is difficult. Compared with Wei Danbai, Wei Qingsong can give his son fewer resources. Therefore, the old man has no great expectations for this vein, so the main expectation of the Wei family is Wei Tianchong.The Wei family values boys over girls, but they don't pay much attention to the cultivation of girls - there's no need to spend valuable resources for other people's daughter-in-law.Therefore, there are not many female practitioners in the immortal world, not because of their poor qualifications, but because the help from the family is much less than that from men. It is said that Wei qinger was taken away by qianqingzong after being favored by qianqingzong because of his excellent talent. Otherwise, he is afraid that he is still waiting for words at home.It can be said that all the hundreds of people in the Wei family are used to serve the elders, wives, young masters, young ladies and grandmothers of the Wei family, and the garden factotum Tang Jie wants to apply for is the meditation garden rushed by the young master Wei Tian.Because of this, the battle of servants was particularly fierce.In addition to the Tang robbery brought by the first supervisor Qin yuan, the second supervisor and the third supervisor also brought a boy respectively. In addition, some foreign house directors of the Wei family recommended that a total of 18 teenagers stand in front of Zheng Shufeng, the wife of the Wei family, and say hello to her.Finally, this era is not as disgusting as the Qing Dynasty. Servants don't have to call themselves slaves or kneel when they see people.In fact, this era is more like the Tang Dynasty when the earth was on earth. The atmosphere is more open. Although there are various upper and lower rules, servants are not Dalits, but they also have their own dignity.After all, the world that can cultivate immortals is itself a world full of opportunities. Even the poorest people may soar.Because it was to choose servants for her son, Mrs. Wei's family seemed particularly solemn and chose them herself.At this moment, she sat in front of the hall, dressed in a red satin shirt with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, with a jade bead hairpin on her head, and two female maidservants gently shaking the fan behind her.After drinking a cup of tea, he slowly said, "please report your name first."Eighteen teenagers signed up one by one, and their own documents were recorded next to them.Then the wife said, "if you can read, raise your hand."Eighteen teenagers raised their hands at the same time, and the instrument ticked each of the eighteen names, indicating that the pass was qualified.In fact, the young people in the Canglong mansion are seldom literate if they come from a poor family.However, most of the people recommended this time are the elderly in the house. They have clear requirements for the Wei house. They will never pick some unqualified people.Even Tang Jie was repeatedly asked by Qin yuan in advance and accepted only after confirming that his conditions were qualified.Tang Jie began to read in Xiaohe village. He had a good foundation in learning. He learned Chinese characters very quickly. After following Xu Muyang, he was idle every day and had to practice calligraphy.According to Xu Muyang, the words are not written well. What symbol do you draw?He thought that there were always a few illiterates among the 18 people who came this time, but he didn't expect them to be well prepared.The lady said again, "if you can do arithmetic, raise your hand."Several people didn't raise their hands this time, but most still raised their hands.Mrs. Wei said again, "if anyone has done something in a big family, raise your hand."Fewer people raised their hands this time, only Tang Jie and two other teenagers.Mrs. Wei asked the three people about their work experience in detail. Tang Jie made up his experience in a large family as early as the Wu family. After six months of lying, he is now more familiar.After hearing this, the wife of the Wei family asked, "tell me what flowers you have planted."This is not many people talking.Ordinary flowers are not rare in the Wei family. It's no use talking about them. The poor boy is not qualified to fiddle with those precious flowers and plants.Everyone looked at each other and was relieved to see that no one raised their hands.Instead, Tang Jie thought, raised his hand and said, "I have raised thousands of flowers."All the teenagers changed their faces at the same time."Oh?" Mrs. Wei was interested. "Tell me how to raise it."Tang seized his mind and replied, "Qianzhan flower is a needle shaped flower with sharp spines on its roots, stems and leaves. It is a very drought resistant plant. Its stems can be used as medicine. If it can be cultivated for ten years, it can have a certain spirit. It blooms every three years. Because there are many needles and leaves, if there are thousands of flowers in bloom, it is called Qianzhan flower.""Good, very good!" Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction. "This is what you learned from the people you followed before?""Yes." Tang Jie replied, "thousands of flowers don't like the humid environment, so most of them are in the north. It's not rare, but there are many fewer in Canglong mansion."In fact, this flower was left by people before he bought the house.Tang Jie heard that the thousand flowers bloom beautifully, so he stayed to take care of them. Unfortunately, he took care of them for more than half a year and never saw them bloom once. Unexpectedly, he used them here to answer questions.There must be more than one flower in the Wei family's garden, but it's better to know one first than not."Yes, that's why we should be more careful." the wife smiled at this moment, then turned to others and said, "you don't blame you for not raising any valuable flowers. If the flowers planted by the Wei family are no different from ordinary people, they have lost their value. So you don't have to worry. You can learn what you don't understand. The Wei family will teach you."Everyone was relieved to hear this.It's a pity that Tang robbed. Although he didn't expect to be elected on this point, it's a pity that he can't play a role with such an advantage.The wife is good-natured and throws out problems one by one. It seems that it is necessary to thoroughly investigate these teenagers.Speaking of performance, none of the 18 teenagers did well.However, Tang Jie knows his own family affairs. His biggest problem is that there are some problems in his origin.Although there is a guarantee from the two elders of the Wu family, it is not as good as those teenagers who are born and bred and know their roots.Fortunately, he already cares about this matter, so he is not afraid that his wife cares more, but only that she cares less.After asking some more questions, the wife said leisurely, "if you enter Wei's house, how much do you think is appropriate?"That's a subtle question.Fortunately, these young people were prepared, and the clever first came to answer: "naturally, the wife has the final say, and how much is the wife?""Yes, it's a blessing for the young students to work for the Wei family. How can they ask for a price."What's more, the boy who did everything for the opportunity said loudly, "as long as you can enter the Wei's house, I'm willing to take nothing!"Most of these teenagers are young, but they are mature and sensible at this moment. Tang Jiaxin knows that most of them have been taught by their own adults long ago.At this moment, everyone declared their position one after another. Tang Jie thought about it, but replied, "if your wife wants to, Tang Jie hopes to get three monthly wages."Three Guan coins, that is three thousand Wen copper coins, equivalent to three Liang silver.In other words, Tang Jie asked for a salary of 3000.It is normal that this price should be put in the present world, but for the young servants of the Wei family, it is simply astronomical.No one has ever dared to ask such a high price!For a moment, all the teenagers were stunned and looked at Tang Jie. Qin yuan was even more surprised. Is this boy crazy? How dare you ask the Wei mansion for money?Even Mrs. Wei looked at Tang Jie in surprise: "do you want three Guan money?"Tang Jiemian was embarrassed. He bit his teeth and said, "yes! Please forgive me. When I came out to work, I wanted to climb the high branch of the Wei family, but more importantly, I wanted to earn some money for my righteous parents.""For the two elders of the Wu family, don't they have enough money?""That's not true." Tang Jie replied, "it's just that my adoptive father is old and worked hard when he was young. Now he will have muscle pain and fatigue every rainy day. Canglong mansion is a city with plenty of water. There are many rainy seasons. I want to buy some miraculous medicine for my adoptive parents, but the price of miraculous medicine is very expensive..."Tang Jie didn't go on, but his wife already understood."So it is." the wife nodded. "I heard Qin yuan say about you. It's a coincidence that you were picked up by the second old man of the Wu family from the snow. You treat the second old man well on weekdays and are quite praised in the neighborhood. It's rare that you know how to repay him. You're a good child."Then the wife smiled and said, "well, that's all for today. You all go down first. When you choose, you'll be notified."Eighteen teenagers left one after another.Back to the Wu family, the two elders of the Wu family hurriedly asked how Tang Jie was, and Tang Jie answered them one by one.On hearing that Tang Jie asked for three passes, the two old men cried sadly at the same time. The old lady complained: "you child, you are very clever on weekdays. Why are you so ignorant today. The children of other people don't want money, but you want three passes. It's really... Hopeless."Tang Jie didn't explain, but said with a smile, "if there's no hope, there's no hope. It's good to serve you in front of the second old man."The two old men sighed together, but they were helpless.Eighteen teenagers left here, but the wife of the Wei family was still looking at the information one by one. The two little girls behind looked at no one around and talked to themselves.I think the young man surnamed Li is good, and I think the young man surnamed Liu is more suitable. At the same time, I said, I think you are moved by spring. Look at other people's beauty, and the two began to fight together.Mrs. Wei shook her head and coughed. The two little girls shut up and couldn't help laughing quietly again.Mrs. Wei said, "what are you laughing at?"A girl replied, "Madam Hui, I'm thinking that the young man named Tang Jie dared to ask for three Guan money, and I can open my mouth.""Yes, I really thought the Wei family begged him to enter."While they were talking, steward Qin came in. Hearing this, he couldn't help blushing and bowed: "madam, those boys have been sent back.""Yes."Qin yuan thought about it and said, "don't take it to heart, madam, as the Tang robbery said today.""Take it to heart?" the wife replied, "what do you mean?""It's... The salary for the three passes," Qin yuan replied.The wife slowly drank a cup of tea: "why, do you think my Wei family can't afford to invite people?""Of course not, but the boy is not sensible...""I think he is very sensible." the wife has replied: "when the second old man of the Wu family saved his life, he tried his best to have no future. He also has to take care of the second old man. It can be seen that he is kind-hearted and sincere. At a young age, he knows that kindness and filial piety come first. This is a good thing."Speaking of this, Mrs. Wei sighed: "if you know who is not in the world, if you treat him well, he will certainly repay you. At the end of the day, are there still few ungrateful people? Therefore, the first priority in choosing servants is loyalty. Intelligence is good, but sincerity is more important!"Qin yuan was overjoyed and knew that there was a way to do it.A girl nearby said, "but the boy's origin is shallow. He knows people, faces and hearts."Qin yuan was so angry that he didn't dare to scold. His wife snorted: "You have taken advantage of the Li family to help you speak well? What if you've been here for a short time? Not everyone needs to be innocent. That brother has turned against each other, and the kindness of a meal has also been rewarded by Yongquan. Why can I exclude the public's opinion to let Qin yuan become the chief steward of the guard house? Isn't he a reliable person because he knows his kindness and plans to repay it? Although the origin of the Tang robbery is unknown, but He is kind-hearted and has a good heart. I think he is more reliable than those with a foundation. ""Isn't that an extra three dollars a month?" muttered another little girl.The wife glanced at her angrily and poked her forehead with her pointed fingers: "Look at you carefully. What's a few dollars? In order to make a spiritual master of the Wei family, the master is willing to throw millions of liang of silver. What's more, Wu Xing is studying with Tianzhi now. If he knows that other teenagers in our family don't choose the most expensive one, he should think it's taking care of his family in advance? So Ah, it's settled. Let's choose this Tang robbery! ""Madam, this is a good lesson!" the steward Qin bowed to the end.
