    At night, the full moon is like a jade plate, and the autumn wind is slightly bleak.  The servants of the Xia Mansion slept in Datongbu, with twelve people sleeping in one room.  Jiang Xia and Hai Dayou both slept in this room. In order to take care of Hai Dayou's old age, the servants in the room specially gave the bed at the back to Hai Dayou.  The cold night wind blew into the house through the broken window. Jiang Xia had Qi to protect her body, so she was not very afraid of the cold.  But the two servants beside him were holding on to the quilt tightly, their bodies trembling.  Jiang Xia was so shaken by the two of them that she couldn't sleep, so she simply got up from the bed, got dressed, hugged the quilt and walked to the place where Hai Da slept.  Jiang Xia carefully covered Hai Dayou with the quilt, then tiptoed out of the room and started running circles in the yard outside the house.  After just a few laps of running, Jiang Xia suddenly heard footsteps behind her.  He stopped and looked back. Through the bright moonlight, he could see Xia Lin standing there in a brocade robe.  "Master?" Jiang Xia was a little surprised.  Xia Lin nodded, "Why are you running here if you don't sleep so late?" "The weather is getting colder, but Butler Wang hasn't sent anyone to add quilts yet, so if it's too cold to sleep, just get up and run to warm up." Jiang Xia said  .  "Hmph!" Xia Lin snorted softly and said, "The accountant paid Wang Quan money as early as a month ago and asked him to buy quilts for the servants in the house. But Wang Quan took the money and lost at the gambling stall.  He was completely naked. If it weren't for the fact that he was brought over from his mother's family by Xu Fengxian, he would have been kicked out of the Xia Mansion. Please bear with it. This month, Wang Quan will give you extra quilts.  "Well." Jiang Xia nodded, and then asked, "What's the reason for the young master to come to the courtyard so late?" Xia Lin nodded slightly and said, "I came here specifically to tell you.  But Xu Fengxian recommended Wang Quan's nephew, and Mei Yunyun recommended Ma Tong's nephew. My father had a pretty good impression of both of them, and he originally planned to recruit them.  Choose one of the two. I specifically talked to my dad this evening, and finally my dad decided to let the three of you compete together, and the winner will be my book boy.  It's about my face, young master, so He An, you must work hard. You can only win, not lose!" There is only one chief steward in the house, and that's Uncle Han.  There are also two stewards, namely Wang Quan and Ma Tong.  These two people are the confidants of the second lady Xu Fengxian and the third lady Mei Yunyun respectively.  As the son of Xia Jialun and the eldest lady, Xia Lin naturally has a distinguished status in the Xia Mansion.  However, the eldest lady died of illness shortly after giving birth to Xia Lin. In addition, Xia Lin had always been indulged in pleasure and neglected his studies, so Xia Jialun pampered and cared for him while being angry with him.  It just so happened that Xu Fengxian and Mei Yunyun each had a son for Xia Jialun, who was not much different in age from Xia Lin and was studying in the same academy.  The performance of these two young masters was much better than Xia Lin, so Xia Jialun was a little hesitant about the position of successor to the Xia family.  Seeing the opportunity, Xu Fengxian and Mei Yunyun have been secretly helping their sons.  Of course, although the two are competitors, they have not forgotten that they and the other party have a common enemy.  That is Xia Lin. Only if Xia Lin, the legitimate successor, is kicked out by Xia Jialun, will their two sons have the opportunity to take the position of successor.  Only when he becomes the successor of the Xia family, Xia Jialun will use all his resources and connections on the successor, so that the successor can enter the court and obtain an official position, and then lead the Xia family to continue to be prosperous and wealthy.  Even though Jiang Xia has only been in Xia Mansion for seven days, he has already seen clearly the overt and secret fighting in Xia Mansion.  Thinking about the Qianmen where he was back then, wasn't it the same?  Although she doesn¡¯t know whether the remaining memories in her mind are true or false, Jiang Xia instinctively rejects this kind of intrigue and intrigue.  But on the surface, he had to appear excited and grateful.  He waved his fist in the air, patted his chest and said to Xia Lin: "Don't worry, young master, Jiang Xia will go all out." "Yes." Xia Lin nodded, "Then you should rest early and recuperate.  . Tomorrow at noon, after my father returns home from the county government, he will summon the three of you for a competition. According to what I have learned, Wang Quan¡¯s nephew has only been in private school for two years, so he is not to be feared.  You have to be careful, he has a reputation as a scholar. If he didn't come from a poor family, he wouldn't come to accompany me as a scholar." "Hey, who said that the eldest young master of the Xia family is a idiot?  Isn't this very smart? In this short period of time, he got all the opponent's information.  Jiang Xia nodded again, saying that he would do his best.  After Xia Lin repeatedly told Jiang Xia to win, he said: "Okay, it's getting late, and I'm leaving." After that,Xia Lin left.  After Jiang Xia watched Xia Lin leave, she looked up at the night sky.  Although Jiang Xia didn't know how to tell the time from the night, it was estimated that it was already late at night.  Anyway, I couldn¡¯t fall asleep even if I went to bed, so I might as well continue running.  When she started running on the first day of junior high school, Jiang Xia didn¡¯t feel anything strange.  But after running for an hour or so, Jiang Xia began to feel a warm air flowing around her lower abdomen.  The feeling was like a little mouse in the abdomen. Jiang Xia tried to use her will to control it to rotate in her body. Every time the air flow passed through, Jiang Xia felt that that part of her body would become very warm.  One night, Jiang Xia had a great time playing with Qi Liu.  Suddenly, a high-pitched rooster crows, and Jiang Xia stops running, stops and looks to the east.  He suddenly discovered that he had run away all night without knowing it.  PhewJiang Xia took off the clothes and jacket she was wearing, revealing her upper body with well-defined muscles.  He twisted his clothes hard, and sweat dripped from his clothes and fell to the ground.  Jiang Xia shook her head, wondering why she didn't feel tired at all after running all night. Instead, she became more energetic the more she ran.  When the rooster crows, all the servants in the Xia Mansion must get up and do their work.  Jiang Xia carried a bucket of cold water with a bucket. After taking a random bath in the bathroom, she changed her clothes and went to the middle courtyard.  According to the servant's work assignment, he should be responsible for cleaning the large courtyard in the middle courtyard today, and then chop a hundred catties of firewood for the kitchen.  There are twenty-five servants in the entire Xia Mansion and seventeen servants.  Even though the Xia Mansion was very large, the work was divided among more than forty people, so there was basically not much to do.  Jiang Xia arrived at the middle courtyard, picked up the big broom and just started sweeping the floor when she heard someone behind her yelling at her: "Hey, hey, He An, right? Put down what you are doing and come here!" Jiang Xia turned around and looked,  Wang Quan, who had a big belly and a mustache, was looking at him with an unhappy expression.  Jiang Xia naturally understood that Wang Quan was here for the noon competition, and he said to himself: "Unlucky." Then he walked towards Wang Quan, "Steward Wang, what are your orders?" Wang Quan got up and down.  Taking a look at Jiang Xia, the strong hostility in his eyes made Jiang Xia couldn't help but recall whether he had ever peeked at his wife taking a shower.  After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Xia finally remembered that Wang Quan, a fat man in his thirties, had yet to find a wife.  Wang Quandao: "Boy, some people are born with low bones, and they can just do their job as lowly servants. If you have delusions and want to climb a high branch to reach the sky in one step, then I'm afraid you won't reach the high branch in the end, and you will end up hurting yourself."  He fell from the tree and lost his life. " Jiang Xia originally didn't want to make the conflict with Wang Quan too sharp. After all, he and Wang Quan were just pawns in the fight between Xia Lin, Xu Fengxian, and Mei Yunyun.  But Wang Quan's words were hurtful. How could Jiang Xia, a person who had been highly respected in the past, tolerate him?  Jiang Xia is tall, a whole head taller than Wang Quan.  He looked at Wang Quan condescendingly and said calmly: "Steward Wang, you know, I feel very pitiful for you. It's okay if you say you are stingy and mean by nature, but the key point is that you are ugly. What's even more outrageous is that you are not only  You are ugly and mean. Maybe for you, being your wife's housekeeper and being an obedient dog is enough for you. But have you ever thought about being a dog?  Your sons will also become dogs. Your grandsons and great-grandsons As long as they all accept your idea of ????being born with a low life, they will all be treated as dogs. You are obviously a human being, but you have to start with yourself.  "I will tell you the truth, you don't want to threaten me or do anything to me. I will be the young master's companion!" "Boy, I see.  It's time to die!" Wang Quan was so angry at Jiang Xia's words that he almost vomited blood. He was breathing heavily, as if he would lose his breath in the next second and die.  Wang Quan raised his right hand and slapped Jiang Xia in the face. Jiang Xia was ready to grab Wang Quan's hand, smiled and said to him: "Before I lose in the competition, if you dare to touch me, you will be fighting me."  With the young master¡¯s temper, I¡¯m afraid your master won¡¯t be able to protect you. So I advise you to think carefully before taking action.¡± After saying that, Jiang Xia let go of Wang Quan¡¯s hand.  Wang Quan's hands were hanging in the air, and he really didn't dare to provoke Jiang Xia.  Jiang Xia looked at Wang Quan and snorted disdainfully, then suddenly raised his leg and hit him with a fierce knee on his abdomen.  Wang Quan screamed and curled up on the ground holding his belly.  Jiang Xia squatted on the ground and patted Wang Quan's face and said: "If you dare to shout everywhere, I will beat you. I will tell the eldest young master that you??He is stupid, he actually asked a servant to compete with others in literary talent.  Do you think he would believe it?  "After saying that, Jiang Xia threw away the broom in her hand and walked away with a smile.
