Chen Ji had no choice but to explain: "In the past two years in the medical clinic, I have become accustomed to taking care of myself, and I don't need to be taken care of anymore."

Xiao Man was silent, and so was Chen Ji.

After a while, Xiao Man sighed with emotion: "It seems that the young master has suffered a lot in the past two years."

After that, she took out eight silver peanuts from her sleeve and said, "Sir, it's the same old rules."

Chen Ji sat on the bed and was puzzled. What's the old rule? What's going on with these eight silver peanuts?

On the window lattice, dark clouds meowed.

But I heard Xiao Man say: "Sister Li Qiu came to see me today and told me that someone wanted to buy you for eight taels of silver a month, so I agreed as usual. Well, the eight taels of silver are all here. According to the old rules, I

Take one tael, and you take seven taels. I also want to help you find out who your employer is, but Sister Liqiu is very strict and doesn't want to tell me."

As he said that, Xiaoman muttered: "Master, please don't use your money to show off in front of others, otherwise they will know that we are cheating money to live."

Chen Ji looked at Xiaoman with a half-smile but not a smile: "This employer is too stingy. Is he only giving you eight taels of silver?"

Xiao Man's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said firmly: "It's just eight taels. It's much more generous than before. In the past, I only gave eight hundred cents, and my life was very tight."

Chen Ji didn't bother with her. After taking away the seven taels of silver, he said, "You go to the west wing to sleep. I will get up early tomorrow to pay her respects."

Xiao Man suddenly stood up angrily: "Madam, I used to ask you to serve tea and pour water by my side before. Now that I have just come back, I have made you recite sutras in the Buddhist hall for a whole day, and you are almost like a monk! Master, you are

Why can't you be tougher and what's going to happen if you don't go and say hello?"

Chen Ji looked at her angry look carefully and explained softly: "The Chen family values ​​rules the most. If we don't abide by the rules, we won't be able to survive in the Chen family mansion."

Someone once said that immature people will die heroically for their ideals, while mature people will choose to live humiliatingly for their ideals.

Chen Ji didn't know whether this sentence was correct or not, but he had no choice now. Bai Long asked him to get close to the core of the Chen family, so he had to abide by the rules of the Chen family.

However, he has his own plan.

Chen Ji told Xiaoman: "Go to bed."

Xiaoman said angrily: "Why should you sleep? Young master has nightmares every day, and I have to watch over you. You can sleep, I will find time to catch up on sleep during the day."

Chen Ji shook his head: "I don't have nightmares anymore."

Xiaoman was doubtful: "Really?"

"real."

"I don't believe it. I'll watch you all night and see."

…

…

The next morning, before dawn, dark clouds lifted up and patted the traces.

Chen Ji slowly stood up and felt refreshed.

The furnace at the tiger's door is like a spring, and a short sleep is worth a whole night for others.

He turned around and looked, Xiao Man was sitting on a small bench guarding the charcoal basin, his head was getting drowsy little by little.

Chen Ji did not wake up Xiao Man, but quietly put on his clothes and passed her, left the yard and went straight to the Buddhist hall.

At this time, the rooster has not crowed, not even the maids in Qunfang Garden have come out to walk around, and the huge Chen Mansion is empty.

Chen Ji straightened his clothes, came to the temple, and knocked hard on the door.

After a while, the door of the Buddhist hall opened. Liang's hair was messy and her eyes were sleepy.

She looked at the sky, then looked at Chen Ji in shock: "What time is it?"

Chen Ji respectfully replied: "Replying to Madam, three updates."

Mrs. Liang dug her fingers into the wooden door tightly: "Why did you come here so early? Aren't you sleepy?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment and said sincerely: "Madam, if you are sincere, you will be wise."

Liang: "?"

She opened her mouth, but no words came out for a long time, almost losing her composure.

After a long time, Mrs. Liang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Chen Ji, now is the time when you are thirsty for knowledge. You should put all your attention on your studies and you won't have to pay me your respects in the future."
