Pick up an abandoned child and overwhelm the world

Cheng Wei looked at Cheng Ning and didn't say much. He took Cheng Ning into the carriage, and the carriage went around again. An hour later, he stopped at a door. He was wearing coarse clothes and tied his long hair with a hair tie. Cheng Ning, who was just an ordinary young man, came down, and happened to see Cheng Ning, who got off the carriage a while earlier than Cheng Ning, handed the money bag to a strange middle-aged man in front of him, and the latter also took it immediately. When he got up, Cheng Ning still didn't understand what was going on, so Cheng Wei pulled him and said to the man: "Look, this is my brother who came from the countryside far away from the country I told you last time. Wang, who has a clear name, has no strengths, but he can still do manual work, and he is also diligent. You also know that life has become more and more difficult these past few years. I just want him to work to subsidize the family, and I need to trouble you to take care of it, you also know that our businessmen often go out and stay at home everywhere, I will leave the capital tomorrow, but I will trouble you!"

"Well, it's easy to say! You can rest assured, Mr. Wang!" The man said with a smile on his face, looked at Cheng Ning and said to him: "Be diligent and work hard here with me. This is the first time our Ministry of Rites has recruited Man, you have done a good job, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future!"

Cheng Ning was startled, Ministry of Rites?

"Brother!" Cheng Wei looked at Cheng Ning's slightly absent-minded look, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "This is the eldest brother I met by chance, and he can be regarded as a good talker in the Ministry of Rites. I heard that he is recruiting miscellaneous workers recently, so I found you an errand, don't be disgusted, do a good job, there is still a lot of money here, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future!"

"Ah, oh... ok, ok, I see..." Cheng Ning hurriedly said, and hurriedly saluted the stranger, shouting: "I will cause trouble to the elder brother in the future!"

"Yeah, not bad, not bad, very clever and honest, so let's do it!" The man said and waved to Cheng Wei: "Go and do your work, I will take care of him, but let's talk about it first ..." The man looked at Cheng Wei's eyes showing a trace of disdain, raised his chin and pointed to the place behind him and said: "We are the Ministry of Rites here, and this is the place to work for the emperor. Can he stay in the future? Can he stay here?" To be appreciated and to be favored by our adults will depend on his own chance and luck, and I can't help him with that!"

"That's natural!" Cheng Wei was busy laughing, and secretly stuffed money into the man's hand, and said a lot of flattering words.

In the end, this person looked better at Cheng Ning. Fortunately, even though Cheng Ning was wearing coarse clothes, his temperament looked different from ordinary people. The man didn't say much, and told Cheng Ning in front of Cheng Wei. In the end, he asked Cheng Wei to say goodbye to him, and finally took Cheng Ning into the Ministry of Rites!

It wasn't until the door closed behind him, and Cheng Ning, who was holding the last burden that Cheng Wei stuffed him, suddenly realized that Cheng Wei had asked him to come to the Ministry of Rites.

"Brother Wang!" The man said to Cheng Ning, "Although this is a job as a servant or something, don't dislike it. The main thing for us people nowadays is to be diligent. Although our Lord Shangshu is old, he is very worthy of your majesty." Take it seriously..." Then this person told Cheng Ning about the current situation of the Ministry of Rites, telling Cheng Ning what to say, what not to say, what to do and what not to do.

Cheng Ning's experience can be said to be very rich. Although he has never been a servant, has he never eaten pork or seen a pig run?

This made the man who brought Cheng Ning in very happy. Cheng Ning also made a side note, only to realize that Cheng Wei just met this man in a restaurant by chance. At that time, he lost his purse. As a "businessman", Cheng Wei helped him, and the two got to know each other. Of course, Cheng Ning understood that Cheng Wei probably planned all of this, but Cheng Ning was even more surprised that this happened three years ago. Although the two have been in contact for several years, Cheng Wei has been hiding it very well, and this person has not found any clues at all, and this person is very greedy for money, so he got a lot of money from Cheng Wei, and all of this, It was just for the opportunity to send Cheng Ning to the Ministry of Rites today.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of important ceremonies of the imperial court, such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, offering sacrifices to ancestors, etc. In addition, it is also in charge of imperial examinations, receiving foreign envoys and guests, etc. Cheng Ning knows a little bit about it, but knowing the current national customs, Cheng Ning more or less I also understood Cheng Wei's intentions!

No matter what, I have been a priest for more than ten years. When I come to a place like the Ministry of Rites as an internal response, I will always seize the opportunity to find the information I need!

So, after figuring out Cheng Wei's intentions, Cheng Ning was even more diligent and busy, as long as he was within his ability, he would help and rush to work, and even served the man who brought him in very well. .

In four or five days, I became acquainted with almost all the servants, doing odd jobs in the etiquette department down-to-earth, working from dawn to late night, and returning to his room, every day was always up and down. He slept right away, and woke up several times in the morning to find that he didn't even have time to take off his clothes, and his hands had become rough!

For about half a month, Cheng Ning gradually got used to the work of servants. Although he didn't see any servants, ministers, etc., at least he was appreciated by one of the stewards, and he was transferred to start cleaning the house. Cheng Ning is naturally very grateful for the job.

When I was very busy that day, I was called by the manager to go to the backyard to collect today's new dishes, because other people were too busy, so I asked them to help!

Cheng Ning went with a few other servants, and the backyard was bustling with activity. The food delivered was a total of four horse-drawn carts. However, this was the food for the Ministry of Rites for almost five or six days. It was not yet the spring season. They are all ingredients that can be stored for a long time, but it is these that make Cheng Ning secretly dumbfounded. The consumption of the Ministry of Rites must be too large, and these are just simple vegetables, meat is another matter!

These are not things that servants like Cheng Ning should worry about. Cheng Ning quickly helped unload the vegetables, and then signaled his companions to stack the vegetables neatly. The scene immediately became much more tidy...

"Brother, let me help you!" Just as Cheng Ning was busy moving a bamboo basket of potatoes, suddenly a strange young man dressed like a servant came over and almost grabbed Cheng Ning with his hand. The heavy bamboo basket in the hand.

Because the surroundings were noisy, Cheng Ning didn't listen carefully to what the person said, knowing that it sounded familiar, so he didn't raise his head, but was busy thanking him and said, "Then thank you..."

"For such a heavy thing, I can just carry it!" The man said with a hint of a smile, and lightly picked up the heavy bamboo basket.

"...!!!" At first, Cheng Ning was surprised that this person's voice was too familiar, and after the last sentence, Cheng Ning looked up abruptly, and couldn't close his mouth in surprise. He looked at the person who was moving things in shock, and looked Seeing his familiar face, Cheng Ning said "Wei'er" and almost screamed out. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he hurriedly walked over and whispered to him anxiously: "Why are you here?" ?”

Cheng Wei laughed, with a mischievous gleam in his pale brown eyes, and sighed pretending to be sad: "The world is turbulent, business has become more and more difficult recently, and I have lost a lot of money. In order to make money quickly, I changed my career and started shopping for vegetables." !"

"!!!" Cheng Ning couldn't say a word.

"Also..." Cheng Wei said mischievously, seeing Cheng Ning's unresponsive appearance for a while, he smiled nicely and said: "This brother is very good-looking, I think I made a lot of money today!"

"You..." Cheng Ning gave him a helpless look: "Don't mess around!"

"Where do I have..." Someone was aggrieved.

"You are like this..."

"Wang Qing, are you ready to move?" At this moment, a slightly older male voice came along with the sound of footsteps.

"Guan Xu!" Cheng Ning hurriedly turned around and said respectfully, blocking Cheng Wei behind him, pointing to the little vegetable basket left beside him and said: "It will be ready soon, Guan Shi, don't worry, It won't delay our work over there, we'll go back right away after we're done here!"

The old man with some gray beards nodded: "Well, that's fine, it's just..." Steward Xu's gaze was fixed on the person behind him: "I saw you talking to him just now? He... Who is it?" He said in a serious reprimanded tone: "Wang Qing, you have to remember that this is the Ministry of Rites, not an ordinary place, as a servant of the Ministry of Rites, you should know what to say and what not to say. , Don't think that if you do well, you can casually contact people outside, this is a big taboo, this..."

"He's my brother!" Before Guanshi Xu could finish speaking, Cheng Wei couldn't take it any longer, walked out from behind Cheng Ning, and said to the old man, "He's my brother, we are cousins, So, he and I are not outsiders, and..." Cheng Wei gestured to several carts of vegetables and said, "You can check, the dishes from the Ministry of Rites were delivered more than a year ago!"

Cheng Ning wanted to save it, but there was nothing he could do. Cheng Wei said so, what else could he do?

"I'm sorry, Manager Xu!" Cheng Ning also had to open his eyes and talk nonsense: "I just came here from the countryside not long ago, and I did delay his blessing a bit when I came here, so in order to avoid suspicion, I didn't say anything. It is because I am afraid that the adults will suspect that I have other intentions, so I..."

Cheng Ning's attitude is very good, and he is very humble. During this time, he has performed very well in all aspects. The person in charge took a look and knew what he said was true, so he didn't continue to embarrass him. Instead, he heard Cheng Wei's expression on his face again. It was said that his brother’s family was ruined and he had to wander around alone, but Cheng Ning has a strong backbone and has been unwilling to accept their help in order not to cause trouble to his relatives. He looks for work everywhere by himself, supports himself, and sends money back After giving Xianglixiang and other such miserable experiences, the manager quietly hinted to the two brothers at the end of the matter that they could stay with Cheng Ning for a little longer when Cheng Wei delivered the vegetables in the future.

Of course, Cheng Wei was very tactful in dealing with people, so he quietly gave the steward some benefits, asking him to help watch Cheng Ning and so on.

So in the end, not only was Cheng Ning okay, but he got better care. He didn't do any small things like tidy up the house, and was assigned to the servants who served tea and water. Cheng Ning also knew that these were also Cheng Wei. As a result of the secret arrangements, since Cheng Ning met Cheng Wei, Cheng Ning didn't believe that the Ministry of Rites didn't have his eyeliner at all, but he didn't know who it was!

When March came, Cheng Ning had become an excellent servant of the Ministry of Rites, and it was because when he delivered tea to the Minister of Rites, Zuo Shilang, that the room was full of scrolls scattered all over the place, Cheng Ning After helping to tidy up, Zuo Shilang was very surprised, so he directly transferred Cheng Ning to his side, and asked him to be his personal servant to record all kinds of cumbersome ledger records.

At this point, Cheng Ning has finally stepped into the most important thing in his life!
