Chapter 325: Wooing and Compromise
Hearing Wei Wuji say the words get in the car, Chu Xiu was stunned again.
What is Wei Wuji's identity?
In addition to the royal family, they are the most powerful of their big families, and Wei Wuji, as the head of the family, is so honorable.
Chu Xiu is just a middle- and lower-level officer, how can he share a ride with the other party?
Isn't this equivalent to killing Chu Xiu?
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said with a panicked face.
"You're trying to torment me!"
"How can a villain be virtuous? Who is eligible to share a ride with you? ”
Chu Xiu retreated again and again, not daring to approach at all.
But what Chu Xiu never expected was that Wei Wuji actually walked down by himself and grabbed Chu Xiu's hand.
"Oh, you're a soldier, why do you pay so much attention to etiquette?"
"I don't care about those things that follow the rules, why do you care, come on, come on, hurry up and get in the car with me."
Wei Wuji didn't give Chu Xiu a chance to refuse, and directly pulled Chu Xiu into the car, and then turned his head and said to Qin Siyong and the others outside the car.
"I have something very important to discuss with your general, so you can go back first."
Qin Siyong and the others had strange expressions, but considering Wei Wuji's identity, they didn't dare to say anything, they just nodded awkwardly, and then watched Chu Xiu and the others leave.
"This..."
Qin Siyong said with a puzzled face.
"Is our general so sought-after?"
"It's really surprising how there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries coming to him together."
"It seems that our generals will have a bright future in the future, with so many nobles to support, it is difficult to even think of not being in the position."
Qin Siyong and the others understood it very one-sidedly, and thought that Chu Xiu really had so many nobles to support him.
But at this time, Chu Xiu was extremely frightened in his heart.
Last night, Ji Chunshen came to find Chu Xiu in person and sent so much money, but today Wei Wuji came to the door again and invited Chu Xiu to share a ride in the same car.
Chu Xiu asked himself, is he really worthy of such courtesy from the other party?
The more Chu Xiu thought about it, the more weird it became, sitting beside Wei Wuji, he felt uncomfortable.
And Wei Wuji also sensed Chu Xiu's careful thoughts, and he said with a smile.
"Don't be so nervous."
"If I'm not mistaken, you've already been approached by a lot of people."
Wei Wuji asked sideways, and Chu Xiu didn't deny it, anyway, the shopkeeper knew about this matter, how could he hide it? It's better to admit it generously.
Chu Xiu said calmly.
"I don't know why, I've just come to Kyoto, why are so many big people coming to me? To tell you the truth, Ji Chunshen came to me last night and gave me two million taels of silver. ”
When Wei Wuji heard that Chu Xiu had accepted Ji Chunshen's silver, his expression changed instantly, his smile disappeared, and he said with a serious face.
"I'll follow you to Ji Chunshen's mansion now, and you will send him the money back immediately."
"This Ji Chunshen!"
"He gave you so much money, what is he going to do? Do you want to corrupt you with money, or do you simply look down on you and think that you can be bought with money? ”
"Let's go, get the money back now..."
Chu Xiu was completely blindsided, he didn't understand why Wei Wuji was so angry, but he knew very well that if he returned the money to Ji Chunshen in public, it would be equivalent to tearing his face with Ji Chunshen.
That's going to be a tough thing to do.
What is Ji Chunshen's identity? What status, Chu Xiu can't afford to offend at all, how can he return the money?
Chu Xiu interrupted Wei Wuji with some embarrassment and said awkwardly.
"Master Wei, Ji Chunshen didn't give me a chance to refuse, so I can only accept this money, but I can't return it, you should also know Ji Chunshen's identity and background, I can't afford to provoke him, he gave me the money, if I return it, it will be equivalent to slapping him in the face, I don't dare!"
After Chu Xiu finished talking about his difficulties, he thought that Wei Wuji would be considerate of himself, but what Chu Xiu didn't expect was that Wei Wuji would become even more violent, or even more angry.
"What are you afraid of?"
"With me as your backer, do you still need to be afraid of Ji Chunshen?!"
"Chu Xiu, you return the money generously, you don't have to worry about anything, your business in the future is our Wei family's business!"
"From now on, you will be a member of our family."
Chu Xiu was dumbfounded, he finally understood what Wei Wuji was going to do, it turned out that he was going to directly pull himself into the Wei family, this is really outrageous, no matter how Chu Xiu said it, he was also an outsider, did he want to enter their family as a guest?
Chu Xiu didn't agree immediately, but pondered for a moment, and then asked tentatively.
"Lord Wei, can I ask? What's so special about me? Why are you all trying to woo me? ”
Wei Wuji smiled slightly and replied with sincerity on his face.
"There's no other reason than just admiring you."
Wei Wuji looked sincere, but Chu Xiu knew very well that this kind of old fox would not put the things in his heart on his face.
There was no way, Wei Wuji didn't want to say, and it was inconvenient for Chu Xiu to continue asking, but he felt that it was necessary for him to keep his distance from Wei Wuji and the others.
It's not that you want to deliberately alienate Wei Wuji, it's that before you figure out the situation, you should be cautious and don't agree to anyone's wooing.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu said respectfully.
"Lord Wei, I appreciate your appreciation and kindness, but I really can't agree to your request, let alone join your family."
"But don't worry, I will also find a way to send back the money from Ji Chunshen."
"To be honest, I don't have any family background or background, and I just came to Kyoto, and my heart is quite scared, so I can only choose to refuse for the time being, and I hope you can understand."
Wei Wuji pondered for a moment, and through what Chu Xiu had just asked, Wei Wuji concluded that this Chu Xiu was simply a novice in terms of political scheming.
However, it is quite cautious, which can be regarded as an advantage.
Wei Wuji did not force Chu Xiu to stand in line immediately, but said with a relaxed face.
"You don't have to worry about that, I'm not the kind of person who is careful."
"But I need to warn you that there may be many families pulling you over in the future, and you must join a certain family, otherwise you will become the enemy of everyone."
"Before joining the family, you have to think clearly, which family gives better conditions?"
"If you think clearly and are willing to join the Wei family, the door of our family will always be open for you."
After Wei Wuji finished speaking, he took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms with a smile and handed it directly to Chu Xiu.
"Chu Xiu, a little thing is not valuable, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift for you."
