Chapter 801: It's a real hammer
Of course, this salary is no longer the point, and it is rumored that you have to queue up to give gifts to Steward Wu.
It is said that the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the importance of his own lord to the big kite is no less than that of the prime minister, why does this seven-rank official love to gnaw on turnips?
"What do you know?" Steward Wu glanced at her, "The more frugal I am, the more reassuring my wife will be." ”
The mother-in-law was a little worried: "The master led the troops to fight in the south this time, do you see if you can win?" ”
Steward Wu laughed: "The king can't say it, so many adults can't say it when the kite is up and down, do you think what I said can be accurate?" Naturally, I hope that the lord will win, and the entire royal court is up and down, and only our lord has the ability to quell the rebellion. ”
The mother-in-law was puzzled: "There are so many generals, and none of them can succeed?" ”
"The south side has lost several battles. My lord often told me that if there are too many defeats, people's hearts will be scattered. The generals sent by the king to the south must have prestige and be able to convince the people, otherwise they will not be able to suppress it at all, and his soldiers may slip away after walking halfway. ”
The mother-in-law was dumbfounded: "Slip away...... Is that an exaggeration? ”
"Why not? I followed my master to Xiazhou two years ago, and it was really eye-opening along the way. Steward Wu's voice was suddenly pressed to a very low level, "Those deserters and routs are no different from bandits!" ”
"You say that this has prestige, doesn't it mean that you are always victorious?" He took another sip of wine, "Do you see that among the big and small generals in the court, how many of them have the prestige to catch up with our master?" Even if those young players have the ability, but they are not famous, who can be convinced? In such an important battle, how dare the king hand over the army to a young general who has no reputation or prestige? ”
The mother-in-law served: "So, it has to be our master!" ”
"Wait until the master returns triumphantly-" Steward Wu's eyes narrowed into slits, "just wait, our good days will come." ”
The good days are coming, and he must be even more cautious, but he can't do it himself.
After the meal, I washed my hands and feet, and the strength of the wine came up.
Steward Wu's eyes couldn't be opened, and he lay down on the bed, and after a few breaths, the snoring gradually started.
In the dream, the master had not yet set out on the expedition, but summoned him to the study for questioning.
"I suddenly remembered, has Sun Hongye's matter been handled properly?"
"Sun Hongye?" Steward Wu looked inexplicable, "Master, I paid fifteen taels of silver from the account to settle it for him." That's a decent number, isn't it? ”
"And then?"
"And then he left." Steward Wu thought for a moment, "He said that he was going to go east and travel to Bega. ”
He Chunhua asked again: "What about that book, what kind of collection ...... annotations?"
"What collection?" Steward Wu looked puzzled.
"Oh nothing, I guess I remembered." He Chunhua took his hand, his face was heavy, "I'm about to go on the expedition, and I don't know if I can succeed in one fell swoop this time, alas, the bad luck is unpredictable!" ”
Steward Wu comforted: "The eldest young master suddenly came back and sent you a large loan from the Rongshan Sect, this is good luck and a good omen!" ”
"Chuan'er is indeed a lucky general, but he won't go with me this time."
Steward Wu said with a smile: "The eldest young master is missing a year, aren't you also doing well in Xiazhou?" It can be seen that you yourself are born to be blessed, and it is none of anyone's business. ”
"Fu Jiang?" He Chunhua's face was slightly gloomy, "How did this blessing come about, I'm afraid that I won't be blessed!" ”
"Old man......"
"After defeating the rebels in the south, we have to fight Dong Haoming in the northwest. How much luck do I have left? He asked Steward Wu, "Old Wu, do you remember when I started ......?" He didn't finish speaking, but made a gesture of worshipping incense.
Steward Wu thought for a while: "That was twenty years ago. When you were a post boy in Blackwater, you assassinated the envoy of the Antonites and threw yourself into prison, and it was there that I met you. Later, you cleared my name, and I didn't have to be beheaded...... After another two years, the Anton people will come back to attack, and the local authorities will push you out to meet the enemy. At that time, you were completely unsure, so you made up your mind to ask the gods! ”
He Chunhua said to himself: "How could I invite this one back then, I can't even remember it." ”
Steward Wu rarely heard the old man feel sorry for himself. If he was awake, he probably felt that something was wrong, but now...... Everything seemed to be in place now, and he couldn't afford to doubt it.
"You go to the great shaman of Zhaomandu and say that you need help, it is too difficult for a person to retreat from the enemy, take the city, and even take revenge." Steward Wu recalled, "The Great Shaman of Zhaomandu was originally unwilling to make a move, but you couldn't cry in the end, and he was also moved, so he said that he could try to invite Naluotian, this god can bring good luck, but the chance of it being willing to respond to humans is very small." ”
He Chunhua nodded: "The gods are more greedy than humans, how can they do things for people easily?" ”
Steward Wu said softly, "You are invited to come down." ”
"At what cost?"
"At that time, you already had a big young master, and the gods designated a big young master."
He Chunhua shook his head: "I really didn't expect that I would have what it needs." ”
"You are reluctant, but the gods refuse to change the conditions, and at that time, Blackwater City faced the retaliation of the Anton, and the situation was critical, so ......"
So the eldest son had to be sacrificed.
"You think for me, why do the gods want Chuan'er? Were there any loopholes in the deal that was made at that time? ”
"The gods only said that the eldest young master's body is special, and it is very useful to him." Steward Wu said ashamedly, "The old servant is useless, and I can't find the flaw in this agreement." ”
He Chunhua sighed leisurely: "Where has Chuan'er gone in the past few months?" ”
"Do you think he didn't just go to the country of Sura and Mount Rong?"
He Chunhua glanced at him: "What do you see?" ”
"Even you don't know, how does the old servant know?"
Oh, I don't know? He Chunhua snorted.
……
The next morning, Steward Wu slept until morning before getting up.
As soon as he heard the time, he blamed his mother-in-law: "Why don't you tell me to get up early?" ”
"You slept soundly, and you didn't wake up after calling a few times."
Steward Wu hurriedly got up and washed.
When he washed his face, he vaguely remembered that he had several dreams before and after last night, one of which still dreamed of the master, but he couldn't remember the conversation between the two.
It's as if you're asking about the past.
This is really, being a housekeeper day and night. He shook his head and went to the He Mansion to do errands.
When he met He Lingchuan on the road, Steward Wu saluted, and saw the eldest young master smiling kindly: "Butler, did you sleep well last night?" ”
"Ahh Young Master Xie cares. ”
He Lingchuan nodded, and went out of the house with his hands behind his back, followed by a large group of guards, and a small squirrel squatting on his shoulder.
took enough of the front and back hugging the panache.
Steward Wu looked at the back of the eldest young master and scratched the back of his head:
In last night's dream, did you mention the matter of the eldest young master?
