A girl in a yellow dress stood quietly on the dock, holding a beautiful sunshade paper umbrella, the slight sea breeze blew the girl's skirt, revealing the two white and tender calves below, the girl stared at the sea in the distance, with a joyful expression on her face, and shouted at the person behind: "Ah Da, look at it, the sea, how beautiful!"

Behind the girl in the yellow dress, there were four middle-aged men with deep eyes and expressionless faces, among them, the one named Ah Da had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of doting when he looked at the girl in the yellow dress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He walked over and said softly: "Miss, you have been standing here for more than an hour, and the guards over there have noticed us. ”

Huang Puyue smiled and said, "This is not anyone's private property, I am standing here looking at the sea, is it still in the way?"

A big smile appeared on his face: "Miss, the land under our feet belongs to Viscount Ling Xiao." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. Huang Puyue stretched out her jade hand, patted her head gently, with some helplessness on her face, and said: "Land privatization is the root cause of degeneration!"

“......”

The four guards in the back seemed to have become accustomed to the young lady's nonsense, and simply pretended not to hear it. But some people don't want to listen, a middle-aged man dressed very gorgeously, like a nobleman, glanced at Huang Puyue, and felt that this girl in a yellow dress looked really good, and it looked like a child of someone with status, but what he said was a little too naïve.

"This young lady is polite, what you said is not right, are you not a nobleman?

"I ......" Huang Puyue rolled her eyes, and said in her heart, who are you, I can say whatever I like, what does it matter to you? But the other party behaved elegantly and politely, and from the perspective of the nobles, there was nothing wrong with accusing her of not saying things that would harm the interests of the nobles, but Huang Puyue still felt very depressed.

At this time, I suddenly saw a young man walking over on the shore over there, not tall or strong, but giving people a very natural and coordinated feeling, dressed in a strong suit, looking very capable.

Huang Puyue didn't know Ling Xiao, so she felt that this person's eyes were very familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere. In order to get rid of the old-fashioned aristocrat beside him, Huang Puyue stretched out her hand to say hello to Ling Xiao, with a bright smile on her face.

"Hello!"

Ling Xiao was really taken aback when he saw Huangpuyue, and said in his heart, why did this woman come to the south? There is really a deal of the Huangpu family in this Pengzes City, but it is not big, and I can't think of a reason why the eldest lady of the Huangpu family came here.

Confirming that the other party did not recognize him, Ling Xiao felt a little relieved, after all, there are some secrets, and it is better for fewer people to know, nodding indifferently and saying, "Miss knows me?"

With a smile on her face, Huang Puyue said, "Except for your parents, which friend didn't you meet after chatting?"

Ling Xiaowan smiled and discovered the other side of Huang Puyue, a girl who was quite lively, completely different from her coldness in the adventurer's bar and her calm and capable in the auction house, which was her true face?

At this time, the nobleman still looked at Huangpu Yue unrelentingly, there is a kind of driving that you don't answer me, I won't go, people come and go on the dock, someone notices here, but only a curious look, most of the merchants here are hard laborers, who has the heart to pay attention to others, they can take advantage of the carnival before the last money of the year, and have a good year, which is the real business.

The four people behind Huang Puyue looked at the nobles who were pestering the young lady with somewhat unkind eyes, and they had some headaches for the nobles, if the down-and-out nobles were okay, once they got into trouble with a powerful nobleman, entanglement would be a big problem for the Huangpu family.

After all, the Whampoa family is only a wealthy businessman, not a privileged class.

Ling Xiao smiled indifferently: "Then dare to ask Miss's surname?"

Huang Puyue smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth like braided shells, and said with a smile: "My name is Huang Puyue, what about you?"

"My name is Ling Xiao. ”

"Hey, you, you're Ling Xiao?"

Huang Puyue and the nobleman were stunned at the same time, and then said in surprise.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "It's very famous down there?"

Huang Puyue squinted her eyes and smiled: "Lord of Penzes City, the land under our feet is your territory, if you come to a place and don't know who the lord here is, it is too much!"

As soon as the nobleman heard that this person was Ling Xiao, he elegantly made a standard aristocratic salute to Ling Xiao, and then said: "It's a pleasure to see you, the noble Viscount, whose name is Li Fo, is a nobleman from Memphis, with the title of baron, and he admires the reputation of the Viscount very much, and he has come to follow!"

"Uh......"

Ling Xiao looked at this middle-aged nobleman, a little unsure of what to say, a nobleman's ...... Baron, from Memphis, "revered his great name", and then made a special trip to follow him?

Huang Puyue behaved much more directly than Ling Xiao, snorted, laughed, stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth, and his two smart eyes were full of smiles.

Li Fo seemed to be half enraged, and said angrily at Huang Puyue: "You girl is so unreasonable! Just now you said that kind of words that harm the interests of the nobles, as a nobleman with quality and cultivation, I don't have the same knowledge as you, but why do you laugh shamefully when I speak? Is there anything funny about this? My noble dignity has been hurt by you, so I ask you to apologize to me immediately!"

The four guards behind Huang Puyue frowned, Huang Puyue glanced at them, then turned his head, smiled coldly at the nobleman, and said: "First, I am not a nobleman, so please don't measure me by the standards of the nobles, what I say has nothing to do with you! Second, why am I laughing at you, haha, because you are very funny! Obviously a down-and-out nobleman, do you think that others can't see the bright clothes you wear? hahaha!"

With Huang Puyue's laughter, the middle-aged nobleman's face turned red, and he looked embarrassed, and then said angrily at Huang Puyue: "You are too much! Even if I am down, I still have noble blood in my body, I ...... I'm still nobler than you civilians!"

Looking at the middle-aged nobleman who was full of righteous indignation, Huang Puyue's face showed three points of contempt and seven points of pity, and said indifferently: "A nobleman who can't even fill his stomach? Hmph, a nobleman who starves to death might as well be a commoner who can fill his stomach!"

"You...... You!" The nobleman was so angry that he glared at him, and when he saw the four guards behind Huang Puyue with unkind faces, his momentum weakened again, and then he said hatefully: "I don't know a woman like me!"

Huang Puyue smiled indifferently, and then said to Ling Xiao: "Lord Lord is so famous that even the neighboring countries know about you, it's really not easy!"

Ling Xiao smiled, in his opinion, this is really a senseless dispute, this middle-aged nobleman Mr. Li Fo seems to be a very paranoid person, but when he says that he wants to follow himself, is he really a down-and-out nobleman as Huang Puyue said?

But tomorrow is the biggest carnival in the Blue Moon Empire, and although Mo Qing has already served as the city lord of Penzes City, but in general, there are still not enough people, so when the time comes, call him to see, although this middle-aged nobleman is paranoid, but he is also very methodical in speaking, maybe, he can let him serve as a petty official or something in the city, and take refuge in Ling Xiao's nobleman, except for Mo Qing, this is still the first one to take the initiative to find the door.

Besides, cultivators all pay attention to a fate, and being able to meet like this can be regarded as a kind of fate, Ling Xiao nodded and said to the middle-aged nobleman: "In this case, it is okay to accept you, but it is impossible to give you any particularly good positions all at once, you can be asked to deal with some documents in the government affairs hall first, what do you think?"

This middle-aged nobleman probably didn't expect this young viscount to be so generous, and he was even ready to be rejected, after all, when they met for the first time, people had no reason to believe him, what if he was a spy sent by the enemy country......? The gap between this person and man is really big! It's better to be a nobleman!

In fact, Ling Xiao didn't care if he was a spy at all, even if he did, what could he do? When he was allowed to deal with some people's livelihood, the real core things were all in the hands of Mo Qing and Ling Wu, as well as Ye Zi and Meng Li, those people below, who would let you have access to secrets before they gained enough trust?

Huang Puyue looked at the nobleman with a smile and said, "It's really good, congratulations!"

This nobleman had a sense of arrogance on his face, he didn't look at Huang Puyue, his nostrils snorted lightly, Huang Puyue didn't annoy him at all, and smiled at Ling Xiao: "Lord Viscount, can you come to your mansion as a guest?"

Recently, the expenses have been too great, especially the private soldiers, those in Penzes City who have accumulated wealth for many years, before Ling Xiao came, most of them were swept away by Li Wutong, and the remaining some were also taken away by Li Houlin, although some of them were snatched back by Ling Xiao's instructions, but after all, they were a minority.

And the expenses of a well-equipped private soldier are also quite staggering! Therefore, Ling Xiao's hands are now a little stretched, and it is impossible to do the work of drying up and fishing.

Mo Qing was still fighting against the three nobles in one family, although the three families had been very low-key recently, but they were constantly making small moves in private, so it was impossible for Mo Qing to be of much help to Ling Xiao.

Seeing Huangpu Yue, Ling Xiao suddenly remembered that the Huangpu family has a strong marketing network, and Ling Xiao's own experience also shows that the Huangpu family has a good reputation. Therefore, there may be the possibility of cooperation between them.

Ling Xiao thought.
