The 297th arrangement
Since Steward Xiang used to be Chu Yun's father's butler, he sometimes called himself a butler, and now Steward He has taken over his position.
Steward He is an extremely wise and knowledgeable old man, he is only three years younger than Steward Xiang, he is extremely capable of handling things, and his prestige in Xiang's mansion is extremely high.
Sitting at the dinner table, Steward Xiang greeted Steward He a few words, and then began to talk about business: "Those mercenaries before will be arranged by you, work hard." ”
"Yes, it is not a blessing to serve the head of the family. Steward He replied very loudly, he almost had a blind worship of Steward Xiang, as long as it was Steward Xiang's arrangement, he would do it.
"When you are not here these days, I am a lot of trouble, you still bring your family here, I sent someone to tidy up the backyard, leaving you a house, although the area is not large, but it is also a piece of my heart, these days you are not there, I am really anxious in my heart. After Steward Xiang finished speaking, he personally took care of the dishes.
Originally, all the things he did these days, such as arranging those mercenaries, etc., should be the specific arrangements of Steward He, and he only needed to come forward, but as soon as Steward He left, these things fell on his head.
"How dare your subordinates bother the head of the family?" Steward He hurriedly bowed.
"You know that I am pressed for time, you are by my side all the time, I don't have to worry a lot, deal with those mercenaries, or you are more experienced, I am a person with a strong prejudice against mercenaries, it will inevitably cause a suspicion and misunderstanding, this year is an eventful season, you need to work harder, and your wife is now alone at home with those maids, I don't worry. Steward Xiang said with a pleasant face, for Steward He, he has infinite trust, just like infinite trust in Chu Yun.
This Xuanhuang world is respected by martial arts, and Steward He's martial arts talent is indeed a lot worse than that of the six elders, otherwise, with Steward He's ability to deal with people, his social status will definitely be on an equal footing with Steward Xiang.
"The head of the family doesn't know, this little child cries and cries endlessly at night, and he is very annoyed, for fear that he will disturb the cultivation of the head of the family. "Steward He bowed his hand and said, although he said that his martial arts talent was not outstanding, but he was quite self-aware, and knew that Steward Xiang was the core of this big family, if Steward Xiang fell, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to save the situation.
Therefore, once he learned that he had disturbed Steward Xiang's practice, Steward He felt very guilty in his heart, because as soon as the medicine Steward Xiang fell, he would never be able to find such an excellent and worthy of his life.
Self-knowledge is the greatest wisdom of a person, and such a person has always lived a long and happy life.
Steward Xiang waved his hand lightly, "Alas, you can't say that, Yingying cried a lot when she was a child, and I didn't calm down to practice swords, how can I say that it disturbs my cultivation? ”
Steward Ho was grateful, and Lang claimed to be.
"The main thing is that this year is an eventful season, you are my most important confidant, in case those enemies lose their hearts after defeat in the future, and use your newborn child to threaten me, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to be a man. Steward Xiang continued.
Steward He didn't expect that this family master could think so deeply for him, and he was even more grateful in his heart.
"Yes, tomorrow my subordinates will let their wives and children move over. ”
Steward Xiang nodded happily, "In addition to your children, such as Ningbo Bo, Shen Bo, Xie Bo, I have given them a certain magic weapon for self-defense, you are all born and died with me, I can't forget you, and these servants in the mansion, I have also given them a certain amount of magic weapons to defend themselves, these magic weapons were given to us by the enemies we defeated, and it is just right to take them out at this time." ”
Although Steward Xiang said that he hated to be a hero, he was basically noncommittal about the life and death of ordinary workers, people go and people come, anyway, there are people in this Xuanhuang world, but for these loyal ministers who follow him, he can really be regarded as benevolent and righteous, of course, the premise is that this person must be appreciated and recognized by him.
Chu Yun, who had been listening quietly on the side, was even more convinced in his heart, this was his Xiang Father, the only Xiang Father.
"Well, with all that said, the dishes are cold. Aunt Liu said with a smile.
"Well, let's eat. ”
Tomorrow is the martial arts competition, Chu Yun, who has practiced the mental method for three hours, lies in the medicine pool, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and is still a little excited in his heart.
Recalling the words of the Ah Niu brothers before, as well as the expectations of those sons of rich businessmen, Chu Yun suddenly wanted to make a splash on this stage, he was fed up with the exclusion of the upper echelons of the Chu family, and really wanted to use his strength to teach them a lesson.
But Xiang's father's instructions kept echoing in his ears, and he could only suppress the sleeping blood in his heart.
"Alas, I really don't have enough heart to do the forbearance like Sima Yi, alas, ten days later, it is estimated that I will be ugly in public again. ”
Xiang's father was the greatest, Chu Yun forcibly suppressed the wild blood in his heart, and patted the water fiercely, only hating himself for not being able to stop his heart.
After overcoming the desire for fame in his heart, Chu Yun jumped out of the medicine pool in one breath, quickly dressed up, and then went to the sword altar, activated the mechanism, and immersed himself in swordsmanship, he hoped that through this way, he would overcome the desire for fame in his heart.
As an aspiring man, who doesn't want to make a splash? Who doesn't want to be intimidating? Who doesn't want to knock those who have insulted their human dignity to the ground.
But he couldn't, at least not yet.
In the early morning of the next day, Steward Xiang led Chu Yun and some young heroes of the Chu family to the Chu family's sword altar.
These young people walking beside Chu Yun are all some "distant relatives", just like the previous "Wubo" The relatives of such loyal ministers, they followed behind Chu Yun, and their thoughts were different, some had just stepped into the path of martial arts cultivation and wanted to experience what it was like to be a martial arts cultivator; some were young and frivolous, and had just become a martial arts cultivator, and they had not yet had time to learn the rules of the rivers and lakes, and their minds were not complete, so they wanted to take this opportunity to prove something; some just came to have a good time, keeping in mind their parents' instructions, and never causing trouble to the six elders.
Steward Xiang would kindly promote some of these young people every time, hoping to select a young man like Chu Yun in this way, but most of the cases ended in disappointment.
Speaking of which, there was once one thing that made Steward Xiang very angry, one of his loyal ministers recommended a young man to him to participate in the Chu family martial arts competition, but after the young man won the top four, he actually confessed Yingying in front of everyone in the Chu family, at that moment, Steward Xiang didn't know how to end, so he had to take Yingying away with his sleeves, and finally found his subordinate and let him watch it himself, and the final outcome of this young man was very miserable.
However, even if such a thing happened, Steward Xiang still asked some "distant relatives" to participate in the Chu family's martial arts competition every four years, hoping to find at least a few more young people like Chu Yun, and three of the "Eight Heavenly Eagles" in the mansion were selected through this method.
Generally speaking, the probability of a world-class genius among these young people is really slim, because the outstanding young people have already been hunted away by the "headhunters" of the empire, and they have already become the inner disciples of forces like Xianyun Pavilion, how can it be the turn of Steward Xiang?
Although the probability of the emergence of a genius is slim, the Xiang Mansion also needs to introduce fresh blood, otherwise it will be like the upper echelons of the Chu family now, aging.
"Good job!" said Steward Xiang, his encouraging words still so concise and to the point.
"Yes!" all the young men replied in unison.
Steward Xiang patted Chu Yun on the shoulder, motioned for him to take care of it, and then walked towards the elder seat with his hands in his hands.
After seeing Father Xiang's forehead and back, Chu Yun turned his head and saw that these young people were full of vitality, and after coughing, he said loudly: "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, the important thing is to show your real skills and fight with them well." ”
"Yes!" everyone replied loudly.
"Don't be proud if you win, don't blame yourself if you lose! Three years ago, do you remember the idiot who confessed in public?"
"Remember!" said the crowd.
This incident has long been a joke on the streets, and of course they remember it very clearly.
"Do you know what happened to him in the end?"
