Chapter 137: Retainers
In fact, Wu Feng really felt that Yun Hailan's surprised appearance when she saw her coming in before, she really looked like a little wife who relied on her door and thought about returning to others, and her demeanor was really cute.
Under the strong appearance of older women, the vulnerable side may not be lost to little girls, and they are often prone to a strong sense of dependence on men who are maturing.
And Wu Feng likes to see this kind of mature beauty show her cute side the most.
But he didn't dare to say what he thought. Not long after Meng Qiwu disappeared, he really didn't want to get involved in another relationship, and the age gap between Yun Hailan and him was really large, making him feel that he still regarded the other party as an object that could provide spiritual comfort, and it was better to be a little ambiguous from time to time.
It's best to control the state of imminent separation. After all, the best tacit understanding is often to leave.
"This is Aunt Yun's reward for being my bodyguard. Wu Feng smiled slightly, and put a bag of gold and silver on the table as Yun Hailan's living expenses for the next few days.
This is not reasonable, Wu Feng clearly refused Yun Hailan's protection before, and what Yun Hailan did was to help Wu Feng thwart the conspiracy of Li Zhong's father and son to control the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows.
But Wu Feng knew that an older woman like Yun Hailan had a very strong sense of self-esteem. She used to be the eldest lady of a famous family, and she even provided income in half of the county, but now she has to spend Wu Feng's money, she must have something difficult to accept in her heart.
"Bodyguard?" Yun Hailan pulled back her silver hair, and her expression was gloomy: "But you clearly rejected my protection proposal at the beginning......
Wu Feng didn't expect Yun Hailan to say this, but he heard her say again: "Now that you are also a lord, are you willing to accept Aunt Yun as your retainer?"
The lord can decide the salary and responsibilities of the retainer, and the relationship between the lord and the retainer is relatively equal. For example, Hua Zongdai was a retainer of Deng Aihou, and the two were confidants; Yun Hailan could also be counted as a retainer of the prince of Great Wei, and Yun Hailan's fief was allocated by the prince from his own territory, not from the territory of the Yun family, and at the same time, the relationship between the two was an ally.
Retainers were not slaves, and it was not uncommon in ancient times to hire their elders as retainers. Wu Feng recognized Yun Hailan as his aunt, but this did not contradict becoming a retainer.
Wu Feng was slightly stunned, and then said solemnly: "It's an honor." ”
He was unwilling to accept Yun Hailan's protection, but such a master assisting him would definitely help in the process of competing for the world in the future.
Yun Hailan smiled, took the bag of gold and silver from the table, put it in the cabinet, and then took the pen and dyed the ink, used the best rice paper, and wrote an oath under the lamp.
She took out another piece of white jade, and the jade fingers pinched lightly, emitting a clear white light, and the edge of the white jade quickly shattered under the white light, forming a square shape. I saw Yun Hailan's nails lightly scratched, and the jade was left with her name, but in a moment, she carved a jade seal with Dao power.
Needless to say, if this nail is lightly scratched on a person's body, it will definitely not just leave a few blood marks, but can directly cut the human body into several pieces like a big knife.
It's just that Miss Yun obviously hasn't been a female celebrity, so this jade seal is just square, but there is no decoration at all, and there is not much beauty at all.
The reason why she doesn't use a carving knife and the lines are so regular, but her sense of Dao power and spatial longitude and latitude is already quite pure, so she can draw straight lines out of thin air without error.
There is no red paint here, Yun Hailan directly dipped in ink and printed on the oath, the long sleeves waved like a cloud of flowing water, a gust of wind blew, and the paper dried instantly.
She folded the affidavit, handed it to Wu Feng, and said with a smile: "You have to keep it, otherwise if you ask me to do things in the future, people won't admit it." ”
Wu Feng opened it and saw that it was written: Yun Hailan, the daughter of the Great Wei Yun clan, and the lord Wu Feng made this oath, willing to serve him as the lord and lose his loyalty. For a period of five years, I will receive honor.
The reason why it was agreed to be five years was because she would need Wu Feng's blood for the next five years, and after five years, she would probably be able to completely expel the yin qi in her body. However, if Wu Feng's strength can continue to grow in recent years, then the connection between the two sides will be closer, and this oath will inevitably be renewed, so that she will have to play for Wu Feng for the rest of her life.
Wu Feng advised her not to be discouraged and to make a career on her own. Now it seems that her plan is that even if she does business, she will rely on Wu Feng's struggle.
The meaning of "respecting and accepting Lu" is to respectfully accept the Yulu given by Wu Feng. This oath is written, which means that the fee that Wu Feng will give her in the future is her fixed salary, and it does not depend on whether she has done something or not, because the lord is obliged to pay the retainers a salary. As the so-called monks employ people for a thousand days, it makes sense to explain it.
Yun Hailan added the Great Wei Yun clan in front of her name, which shows that her feelings for the Great Wei, which has been extinct for forty years, are still deep and unforgettable.
Looking at Yun Hailan's serious expression at this moment, as well as the solemn tone of the oath, Wu Feng couldn't help but say, "It's too serious, right?"
"That's all the oaths. Didn't Deng Aihou ask you to write an oath?" Yun Hailan also covered her red lips with her little hand and chuckled.
"This ......" Wu Feng remembered this stubble: "I don't know if he chatted with me too happily, or because I was underage, he seemed to be really ...... Didn't let me write ......"
"I can forget this, what a famous boy. Yun Hailan raised her eyebrows and said contemptuously: "Sure enough, it can't be a big deal." ”
Wu Feng actually didn't agree with her, in his opinion, the oath of allegiance to such an old-fashioned thing is the embodiment of the corruption of the famous family. In the future, if you have a real follower, you will definitely not force the other party to write an oath, as long as you are satisfied, why fear betrayal? This kind of formalized thing is really unnecessary.
It's just that Yun Hailan came out of the bureaucratic system, so he naturally takes this kind of thing seriously. Now that she has come up with this idea, she is happy, and Wu Feng is not good at poking her face.
No matter how serious this oath is, at least being able to write this thing reflects her dependence on Wu Feng. The relationship between the lord and the retainers is, after all, a master-slave relationship, and Wu Feng is far inferior to her regardless of his background or age. Willingly writing this oath shows that Yun Hailan has admitted from the bottom of her heart that although Wu Feng is still young, he is far above her in terms of talent, pattern and courage.
After chatting a few more words, Wu Feng put away the oath and said, "Aunt Yun, I'm leaving." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Take care of yourself when I'm not around. ”
"Hmm. ”
This kind of conversation made Wu Feng suddenly feel a little weird. But he didn't think much of it, and turned away and returned to Iwakura Castle
