Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 7 Ridicule
The morning passed quickly and Shen Fuyu only felt sore in his back.

The original owner's parents were relatively honest people and had no habit of exploiting their children. Therefore, Shen Fuyu only did some simple housework and at most helped take care of his younger siblings.

I really can't stand a whole morning of training.

Shen Fuyu simply hammered his legs a few times and then began to stretch to avoid soreness the next day.

As soon as Hongyan opened the door, she saw this scene.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Some people, it's better not to waste your energy. No matter how hard you try, you will never be better than me."

"Sister Hongyan, you don't understand. This is called the early bird catches the worm. I know I can't compare to you, so I work hard in secret. However, for some people, no matter how hard they try, it's ultimately in vain. So what if Madam Shen takes a fancy to them? If you don't have a strong learning ability, you're destined to be outdone."

The beauty became even more proud when she was flattered.

If it had a tail behind it, it would probably have been raised up by now.

Shen Fuyu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and forced a genuine smile. His cunning eyes twinkled as he spoke in an innocent yet sincere tone, "Yes, I also think Sister Hongyan is amazing. Someone like me who is not very talented naturally needs to work harder."

"Sister Hongzhu, you can't underestimate yourself. It doesn't matter if you're stupid, but if you're really bad at it, you might as well just become a fire-making girl."

The two beauties felt like a thorn in my throat.

But Shen Fuyu blinked her big eyes, looking so innocent, and her tone was so sincere that it felt like she was punching cotton, with no place to vent her anger.

"Hmph!" Hongyan snorted coldly and left angrily.

The red favorability on the head seemed to deepen a little.

Obviously, he hated Shen Fuyu even more.

Shen Fuyu exclaimed, "Sister Hongxing, why is Sister Hongyan unhappy? Shouldn't she be very happy that Nanny praised her?"

"She is just very jealous and can't stand seeing others doing better than her." Hong Xing looked at Shen Fuyu, who was ignorant and hardworking, and her heart softened unconsciously. She always felt like she was seeing her own sister.

She rubbed Shen Fuyu's head and said, "Sister Fuyu, don't worry about it. Just work hard. I believe you can succeed and stay by the young lady's side as a servant."

People like them still have to wait for Xiao Taohong and the housekeeper's assignment.

Shen Fuyu already had a destination, and he was by the side of the eldest lady, so naturally he would arouse jealousy.

Shen Fuyu smiled, had a simple lunch, and then found an empty corner and pretended to work hard.

In fact, Shen Fuyu was hiding in a corner and being lazy. Shen Fuyu didn't want to be too high-profile, but he couldn't fall behind others, so he planned to establish a hardworking and motivated personality. In the future, Shen Fuyu's true level will be revealed, and everyone will not be surprised, but will only think that Shen Fuyu deserves it.

They would not feel unbalanced, they would just think that if they worked half as hard as Shen Fuyu, they would definitely succeed.

Naturally, I wouldn't be jealous of Shen Fuyu, I would only blame myself for not working hard enough.

Shen Fuyu was thinking about what to do next in his mind and fell asleep unknowingly.

……

Not yet.

Shen Fuyu suddenly woke up, looked up at the sun, and hurriedly ran towards the yard.

It was over, it was over, she was going to be late.

Aunt Gu will definitely be angry.

Suddenly.

A faint cry for help reached my ears.

"Woo...Help, help."

The girl's voice was weak, as if she was about to faint in the next second.

Shen Fuyu frowned tightly. This dynasty was different from the modern era, and Shen Fuyu didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

However, his feet seemed to be fixed in place, and Shen Fuyu could not move for a moment.

She gritted her teeth and thought, forget it, it’s just being late, what’s that compared to saving someone?
Even if there was a conspiracy, she would accept it.

With modern education, Shen Fuyu simply couldn't stand by and watch someone die.

She thought that if she left now, she would live in a nightmare from now on.

Shen Fuyu pricked up his ears to listen to the subtle movements and identify the direction, and finally came to the lake behind the rockery.

A small artificial lake.

Shen Fuyu immediately saw the light green skirt in the middle of the lake. She jumped and swam to the girl's side with extremely nimble movements.

She gasped for breath. Damn it, Shen Fuyu actually forgot that she was only about to turn nine!

Shen Fuyu gritted his teeth, his heart tense, and dragged the girl to the shore with difficulty.

"Ugh..." Shen Fuyu spat out a mouthful of water.

Her hair was sticking to her cheeks in a mess, and she felt exhausted and weak all over. However, Shen Fuyu did not have any extra time to recover and hurried to check on the girl.

Miss! ?

Shen Fuyu widened his eyes. It turned out to be the eldest lady.

Shen Fuyu started performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the young lady without saying a word.

She was the only servant nearby. If Miss Shen were alive, Shen Fuyu would be the hero.

If anything happens to Miss Shen, Shen Fuyu cannot escape responsibility no matter what his purpose is.

Shen Fuyu took a deep breath and was about to give Miss Shen artificial respiration.

"puff!"

Miss Shen woke up and spit lake water all over her face.

Shen Fuyu's heart finally settled back down.

Great! My life is finally saved.

"Miss, Miss?" Shen Fuyu waved her little hand in front of her.

Miss Shen's eyes were filled with fear, she couldn't utter a word, and she held Shen Fuyu tightly with both hands.

It's like a frightened person seeking shelter.

Shen Fuyu frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Miss Shen.

"Miss, did you... fall into the water accidentally?" Shen Fuyu asked tentatively.

Miss Shen still didn't speak. After waiting for a long time, she finally spoke. The girl's voice was childish and she spoke slowly.

"No, I don't know."

Shen Fuyu wanted to continue asking when he heard the shouts of the maids and nannies around him.

"Miss, someone is coming. I'll leave first."

……

courtyard.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Nanny Gu had a stern face and rows of little maids were trembling with fear. It was obvious that Nanny Gu was in a very bad mood.

"Remember, you are here to be servants, to serve your master. Don't act like you are a rich lady and dare to be late!"

"I will definitely report the truth to my wife."

Nanny Gu is extremely rule-abiding and hates people who break the rules the most.

The beauty was gloating.

Gee tut.

What good was Shen Fuyu's luck? He was still ruined.

If she could perform better, she might be able to replace Shen Fuyu's position as a servant.

"Here he comes, Shen Fuyu is here."

"Sister Fu Yu, why are you all wet? Did you encounter any danger?" Hong Xing's eyes were filled with worry, and she wished she could take Shen Fu Yu back to change clothes to prevent her from catching a cold.

Shen Fuyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting, and stood in front of Nanny Gu.

"Madame Gu, I'm sorry."

"I didn't come late on purpose. I was passing by a lake when I saw someone fall into the water, and I came to save him."

Nanny Gu was still able to speak, but Hongyan was the first to mock her.

"Save someone? Oh, Sister Fuyu, if you were late, just admit it and apologize sincerely. Mammy won't blame you. Why are you still lying? Who can you save with your tiny body?"
