Chapter 101: It's hard to cut off
Xu Beiyou and Feng Lang stayed in Guangling Mansion for a day and a night before returning to Jiangdu, Xu Beiyou asked Feng Lang to rest first, and he returned to the study alone.
Not surprisingly, Wu Yu was already waiting here, looking at his expression, he seemed to be a little sulking.
Xu Beiyou walked over and asked, "Senior sister, is there something?"
Wu Yu turned his head and saw that his face was light, and he couldn't help but be a little more depressed, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Senior brother doesn't say goodbye, I should have been kidnapped by the Daomen, if the senior brother doesn't come back, I will have to report to my wife." ”
Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "I just went out for a walk, and I accidentally arrived at Guangling Mansion and tasted the food there, which was not bad." ”
When Wu Yu heard the word Guangling, he seemed to remember something, and his face suddenly became gloomy, "Guangling Thin Horse?"
Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about what this Guangling thin horse was for the first time, and when he came back to his senses, Wu Yu had already turned around and left.
Guangling is the gathering place of salt merchants since ancient times, salt merchants can be said to be a rich party, the luxury of life is not lost to the ministers and magnates, the so-called full of warmth and lust, "raising thin horses" is also born with the trend.
In Guangling, there are many people engaged in this kind of business, first funded the poor family in the good face of the girl to buy back after the study, teach them singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, according to the qualifications are divided into three classes, the first class of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all-encompassing, such as everyone's daughter, the second class bookkeeping manager, shrewd and capable, the third class cooking female red, each with their own skills. According to different qualifications, they were sold as concubines with the rich at different prices or entered the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion to make a profit.
Because the poor girls are so thin, the name "thin horse" comes from this. When he first bought a virgin, he only paid a dozen yuan, but when he got married, he could earn thousands of taels. Ordinary people see that it is profitable, compete to imitate, it is a trend, from the previous dynasty to the present Daqi, Guangling salt merchants monopolize a country's salt transportation, the waist is full of thousands of dollars, rich in the world, so Guangling Mansion "raise thin horses" The wind is the most prosperous, and the reputation of Guangling thin horses is also spread all over the world, even Wu Yu and other officials who are far away in Qizhou have also heard of it.
As a woman, Wu Yu naturally hates this kind of business that treats women as goods, and it is reasonable to have this reaction.
After Xu Beiyou figured it out, he had the heart to explain a few words, but he felt that it was suspected that the more he described it, the darker it became.
In the end, he walked out of the study and saw that Wu Yu had not gone far, but was standing on the lakeside outside the study, obviously waiting for him to explain.
Wu Yu was very unhappy at this time, in fact, it was not because of Guangling's thin horse, after all, there are thousands of poor people in the world, and she didn't have the reason to be angry because of some poor women, she just ...... I was a little unhappy at the thought that that person might be looking for fun, and it felt like something of my own had been taken away from me.
She was a little unhappy before, and even more so now.
After Wu Yu went out, she silently counted in her heart, planning to count to ten, if he didn't come out, then she would no longer care about his, but when she really counted to ten, she still didn't move her steps, but silently persuaded herself in her heart to give that guy another chance, but fortunately, when he counted to seventeen, this person finally came out.
Wu Yuqiang resisted the urge to turn around and turned his back to Xu Beiyou.
Xu Beiyou sighed secretly, sure enough, it was a woman's heart like a needle under the sea, but she said: "Senior sister, listen to my explanation, I really just tasted some famous Guangling food." ”
ip update most %l fast 9 on A!"
Wu Yu still didn't turn around.
Xu Beiyou took out an oil-paper bag and smiled helplessly: "Look, this is the mille-feuille oil cake I brought back for you." ”
Wu Yu turned around, still wrinkling his face, but there was a vague smile in the depths of Danfeng's eyes.
Xu Beiyou handed the oil paper bag forward, "Take it." ”
Wu Yu snorted lightly and took the oiled paper bag, she usually loves to be clean, she doesn't care about the slight oiliness on the oiled paper, so she holds it in her palm.
It's just that Xu Beiyou doesn't seem to appreciate the difference in this small detail, maybe he has already experienced it, but he is unwilling to pierce the already thin layer of window paper.
Xu Beiyou changed the topic and said: "Earlier, you asked me to take a few people to the imperial capital, I thought about it, after all, this time it is to go to the first good place where the powerful gather, and it is more convenient to have a person by your side, so I plan to bring Feng Lang's kid over, what do you think?"
Wu Yu didn't speak, turned around and walked out.
Xu Beiyou followed behind and asked, "Could it be that the junior sister is not satisfied with Feng Lang?"
Wu Yu stopped, "I'm not dissatisfied, after all, the senior brother is the young master of the Sword Sect, and the people who go to the imperial capital are also senior brothers, and everything is decided by the senior brother." ”
Xu Beiyou was puzzled, how did Wu Yu, who was in charge of being a man alone, become like he is today, just like ...... It's like a little woman who eats sour.
Wu Yu didn't stay this time, he left here quickly, and after walking away, his mood calmed down inexplicably, and he regained his usual shrewdness and ability, glanced at the mille-feuille oil cake in his hand, and whispered to himself: "Are you so afraid that I will go to the imperial capital?"
In the evening, the sun is sinking.
Xu Beiyou went out of the city to the East Lake Courtyard, and I don't know if it was the will of heaven, Zhang Xueyao took Li Qinglian out to visit, only Wu Yu was here.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then walked side by side to the lakeside outside the Liuli Pavilion.
She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Emperor and Son-in-law, have you decided?"
Xu Beiyou looked at the lake and said softly: "Qingchen Dazhen once said that the Xiao family is destined to be thin because of some secret reasons, and there is only one woman in a generation, so the emperor must be a princess, and the princess's identity is unusual, if she can be the emperor's son-in-law......"
Wu Yu squatted down, hugged his knees with his hands, rested his chin on his knees, and said softly: "The first emperor-in-law of Daqi is Wanyan Beiyue, the later founding lord, and the second emperor-in-law is Qin Xian, the emperor of Great Zheng Ai, if you can become the third emperor-in-law, then you will really be a big man who moves the world." ”
Xu Beiyou said calmly: "The identity is fake, the sword in his hand is real, back then, Emperor Zheng Shenzong wanted to call his ancestor with the word sir, and Emperor Xiao also treated him with a teacher in the face of the old master of the Daomen, I don't want to just be an emperor's son-in-law who salutes the emperor." ”
Wu Yu smiled: "Your ambition is really big. ”
Xu Beiyou turned his head to look at her, and said slowly: "I hope that one day when others mention me, it will not be anyone's husband, nor anyone's adopted son, or anyone's apprentice, Xu Beiyou is Xu Beiyou, just like the ancestor back then, not the Sword Sect Master Shangguan Xianchen, nor Xu Lin's disciple Shangguan Xianchen, or the Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen." ”
Xu Beiyou smiled, "In the first twenty years, I looked at the father and respected the son, and in the second twenty years, I watched the son respect the father." I hope that in the future, when someone mentions Master and Mr., they are not the Sword Sect Sect Master or the Cabinet Scholar, but Xu Beiyou and Master and Xu Beiyou's adoptive father. ”
Wu Yu looked up at the sky and said softly: "This ambition is really boundless. ”
Xu Beiyou pretended to be arrogant, "You just wait and see, if there is a second great sword immortal in the world, he must be surnamed Xu." ”
Wu Yu smiled and nodded, got up and left.
The night is getting deeper, cool as water, and the moon is like a jade hook.
The lights went out in the East Lake Courtyard, and it was heavy.
Wu Yu rested, and the wind came in through the window, turning the pages on the desk.
The book is "Moaning Words" written by Lu Xinwu, a scholar of the Criminal Department of the former dynasty and a lone monk, which wrote: "The most bitter part of life is just that this heart is muddy and watery, and I know it, but I can't cut off my ears." ”
