Chapter 4: Burying Hope and Ambition
The host's tea can't be served casually, and since it's served, it means to send it off.
Although Concubine Wanyan Yufei is a post-Jianren, the number of etiquette she has learned since she was a child is no less than that of the Central Plains family, she took a sip of the teacup, got up and said, "Hongguang farewell, Xu Gongzi, please stay." ”
Xu Beiyou got up and said, "Senior sister, send the county lord for me." ”
Wu Yu walked from outside the door and said softly, "County Lord, please." ”
Greeting and sending off, this big butler seems to be a little down, but in fact, this is a position with a lot of authority in his hands.
Take the emperor as an example, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant is actually the emperor's chief butler, and this position is not important? He is known as the "internal minister" and can even compete with the chief and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, who are known as the "foreign minister."
Xu Beiyou put Wu Yu in this position, and the meaning of importance was unobstructed, and the entire Sword Sect, and even Jiangdu, as long as they could force Xu Beiyou down without paying for themselves, they would have to give Wu Yu three points.
Even sometimes, Wu Yu himself felt as if in a dream, after coming out of the Yanyu Building, he experienced many things, and finally entered the Sword Sect, worshiped the famous Gongsun Zhongmou as his teacher, and became the younger sister of Xu Gongzi, and then the tide rose, and he was also a pivotal figure in the prosperous Jiangdu City.
No matter who it is, for the sake of Xu Beiyou's face, they have to look up to her, even if those families call her "Yu Beauty" behind their backs, but on the bright side, they have to respectfully call Miss Wu, according to the development of this trend, she will not be able to have the status of Qin Mumian and others after a few years.
As for whether they can reach the height of Murong Xuan and others, it depends on creation.
Wanyan Yufei and Wu Yu walked side by side, with complicated thoughts.
She found that she was a little underestimating this Xu Gongzi, there is a saying called "living and moving qi, raising and moving the body", aside from the realm of cultivation, a man's momentum comes more from his status, in the conversation between the two just now, it is undoubtedly Xu Beiyou who has the absolute upper hand, because the status between the two is not equal.
If it is built in the back, Wanyan Yufei may still have the possibility of overpowering Xu Beiyou, but unfortunately this is Jiangdu, it is the Jiangdu that made Murong Xuanyin return twice in vain, and the Houjian county lord in another township alone can't make any big waves.
Wu Yu didn't have any greetings and politeness to this Houjian county lord from beginning to end, but his expression was gentle and calm.
Sent to the middle gate, Wu Yu stopped, and watched Yan Yufei board the carriage and leave before letting people close the middle gate.
The old man sat in the coachman's seat, and the Wanyan Yufei in the carriage leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed her eyes, and gently rubbed her temples.
She is a very utilitarian woman, which is very different from Xiao Zhinan.
Xiao Zhinan, who is already standing at the pinnacle of wealth, yearns for the word "free", and her parents want to marry her to let her not be free, so she has to fight.
And Wanyan Yufei, who is still some distance from the apex, is purely for ambition, she is an unwilling ordinary woman, she doesn't want to marry and have children, she yearns for the Empress Wu of the year, or the Empress Dowager Lin Yinping of the Great Qi who listens to the government.
At this time, in the mind of the Hongguang County Lord, Xu Beiyou's face appeared.
Xu Beiyou's appearance is good, although it is not a jade tree in the wind, but after being in a high position, he gradually cultivated majesty and nobility, and it is the realm of earth immortals, and he has an extraordinary bearing to support the whole person, which is completely different from a man who purely relies on appearance.
If a man is handsome, but has no status, he will only be called a little white face, and the best decoration for a man is status and power.
Cool craftsman genuine debut p
Wanyan Yufei recognized this statement from the bottom of her heart, in her eyes, Xu Beiyou, who held the authority of Jiangdu, was actually quite handsome, and in terms of appearance alone, it was quite in line with his taste.
But she didn't like this Xu Gongzi.
Because she saw many of the same things in his seemingly calm eyes.
It can be called ambition or ambition.
And Xu Beiyou's ambition at the moment is far greater than hers, and even makes her feel a little breathless.
She opened her eyes and whispered to herself, "If this is built in the back, I must cut your heart open to see how big it is." ”
On the other side, Wu Yu walked slowly in Gongsun's mansion, and people kept saluting her respectfully.
It is said that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea.
The mansion of Gongsun Mansion is no worse than the Hou Mansion.
Xu Beiyou is the owner of this mansion, but there is no hostess.
Let's not talk about whether Her Royal Highness the princess can go to the end with Xu Beiyou, even if she can, she won't care about a mansion, she just cares about Xu Beiyou.
So Wu Yu is the number two person in this mansion.
Whenever Xu Beiyou encounters a problem, he likes to discuss it with this junior sister.
When Wu Yu walked back to the front of the main hall, Xu Beiyou had already come out of it, pointed in the direction of the back house, and said, "Ah Yu, take a walk with me?"
Wu Yu nodded lightly.
The two walked side by side on a cobblestone path, and through the thin soles of their shoes, they could clearly feel the touch of the soles of their feet.
This was built when Gongsun Zhongmou was alive, Xu Beiyou liked it very much, and often came here to take a walk.
Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it, after all, we are the same master, brother and sister, and in the cultivation world, we are not much worse than our own brothers and sisters." ”
Wu Yu smiled knowingly, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Then I'll say it directly, in my opinion, this Hongguang County Lord is not a good type, so you must guard against it." ”
Xu Beiyou nodded, "I have my own plans in my heart." ”
Wu Yu continued: "What do you want those 10,000 fire guns for?"
Xu Beiyou did not hide what she meant, and said bluntly: "The fleet, Hou Jianren intervened on the sea road, and the Wei side is not very peaceful, I think there will be an incident on the sea soon, and we should take precautions." ”
Wu Yu frowned slightly, "Ten thousand firecrackers are only 100,000 taels of silver, and we can afford it, but thousands of people eat horses and chew, as well as boats and water villages, this is not a small amount." ”
Xu Beiyou sighed, "I know, money is used everywhere, it costs money to rebuild the Dao Art Workshop, and it also costs money to reorganize the fleet, and it is indeed a little unaffordable for our Sword Sect family alone, but I still have a floating fortune left to me by my master, so I don't have to worry about this for the time being." ”
Wu Yu snorted and didn't speak again.
The water of the Sword Sect is very deep, far from being able to explore the bottom of her as a disciple who has just started for a long time, and she has an intuition that even this senior brother who has already taken over the power in the sect may not be completely clear.
In fact, this is not true, many things about the Sword Sect can only be known by the sect master, and this part, Gongsun Zhongmou told Xu Beiyou everything before he died.
There are still some things that Gongsun Zhongmou didn't have time to say, and now only Zhang Xueyao knows.
How deep the water of the Sword Sect is, Xu Beiyou and Zhang Xueyao need to be together to make it clear.
Xu Beiyou stopped and looked at the corner of the lake not far away.
He naturally remembered Biyou Island in the East China Sea.
There is a burial of the master, and also the treasures left by the master and the ancestors of the past generations.
There are buried the ambitions of the Sword Sect and the hope of Xu Beiyou.
