That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 373

Most women in aristocratic families are like this. If they want to gain a firm foothold in their husband's family after they get married, apart from the confidence given by their mother's family, they can't do without a little skill. And don't underestimate the way of housekeeping. "The word is not just talk, a huge mansion, hundreds of people up and down, welcoming and seeing off, expenses, farm real estate, all kinds of things add up to a lot of affairs, not a little lighter than the yamen, Therefore, most women in aristocratic families have to learn how to manage the house from an early age. The reason why Xu Beiyou wanted Wu Yulai to be his chief housekeeper temporarily was because she took a fancy to her from a family of officials and eunuchs, and she was no stranger to this aspect.

The reason why these women whose family background was not inferior to Wu Yu's came to see Xu Beiyou was not because of any nympho, but because they had something to think about.

Although there were rumors outside that Xu Beiyou was deeply involved with His Royal Highness Princess Qiyang, but it was not made clear after all. Whether it was groundless or true, no one dared to make a conclusion, so many people felt that they could be here. Even if it doesn't work out, they can form a good relationship, but if it works, it will be a big fortune for them and the family behind them.

As long as he can marry that Mr. Xu, let alone Han Ge's status, but the family property that is one of the best in Jiangdu, it will be a great blessing that he will not be able to enjoy in several lifetimes.

The key point is that Mr. Xu is also one of the four handsome men. He has a high cultivation base and a lot of talent. He is definitely not a playboy relying on the shadow of his family. With such a good match, which woman would not be tempted?

Since you are tempted, there is no reason not to put it into practice.

Some things, if you don't fight for them, you will never know whether they are yours or not.

Among the women present, the woman sitting in the middle position had the most beautiful appearance, the best family background, and the one with the deepest thoughts.

Marry a woman from a low family, marry a woman from a high family.

When a woman marries, the family background of her husband's family should be slightly higher than that of her mother's family, so that she can be regarded as a good match. In terms of Xu Beiyou's current wealth, it is almost no less than the eight great families in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is even higher. The adoptive father who is just like the sky, also inherited most of the Gongsun family. The Gongsun family is recognized as one of the five oldest families in the world. Who can say that he is not a family?

With such a family background, it is not too much difference to match the daughters of the Xie family in Jiangzhou, but if it is replaced by women from a lesser family background like them, it will inevitably be a bit wrong, so she is not optimistic about what her companions say The so-called "good opportunity".

In her opinion, instead of holding the unrealistic idea of ​​"becoming Mrs. Xu", it is better to focus on the real thing, take this opportunity to make friends with Mr. Xu, and if she can accumulate a bit of incense and affection, it will be a big blessing Lucky.

Moreover, my own love for incense is very different from that of my family. In today's world, a woman from an aristocratic family can't be said to be as cheap as grass, but she can't be the head of the family. People, to put it bluntly, if one day you become an outcast of the family, with this kind of love, you will not really come to a dead end.

So after she knew a secret that her companions didn't know in advance, she still came to this battleship, hoping to earn some capital for herself to settle down in this world in the future.

The two warships sailed here in the name of water drills, so Yu Kuang was wearing armor, but there were so many young women who had nothing to do with the army on board, it was obviously for private use.

Xu Beiyou didn't feel anything about this. He didn't have this ability before. Every time he heard that officials were greedy for ink and perverted the law, he would gnash his teeth with hatred. After he reached a high enough level, he never thought of being a righteous person, so Xu Beiyou wanted to understand a truth , people in the world hate greedy ink and bend the law, not because they hate greedy ink and bend the law, but because they hate others for being greedy for ink and bending the law, but they themselves cannot be greedy for ink and bend the law.

The two entered the cabin, Yu Kuang went to change clothes, while Xu Beiyou looked around casually. When he saw the soldiers with swords and armor on the ship's side, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Power is really a good thing. Under power, Even the dignified officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army are like the servants who guard the house. If they have no power, even if they are earth immortals, they will never have this kind of treatment. Monstrous power.

It's no wonder that countless people in the world are obsessed with this word, and continue to follow.

Not long after, Yu Kuang finished changing his clothes, and changed into a military officer's unicorn suit of the first rank, which was gorgeous and extraordinary.

Civilian birds and martial beasts, civil servants are first-ranked crane supplements, and generals are first-rank Qilin supplements. Looking at the entire Daqi court, there are no more than two hands who can wear this first-rank unicorn suit.

At the moment when the cabinet governs the six ministries and nine ministers, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is able to take care of itself, and has been watching from the sidelines outside the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor. In addition to the detached status of Xu Lin and Wei Jin as the two major governors successively, it is also the same as those who guard the Quartet. The left governors also have a lot to do with it.

Yu Kuang, as one of the five left governors, has a high position and authority. If he encounters a war, he can control the military and political power of several states, almost no different from a local vassal. The chaos in the world at the end of the Zheng Dynasty, regardless of Xiao Yu, Qin Zheng, Shepherd, or Xiao Lie, Lu Qian, in the final analysis, are all people who hold military power, and only they are qualified to compete in the world. Go through the history books, how many times have you seen a pure literati conquer the world?

Yu Kuang brushed off his sleeves, and asked with a smile, "Nangui, have you ever thought about changing into this suit one day?"

Xu Beiyou frowned, and asked back, "Is there a place for me in the temple?"

Yu Kuang pressed the jade belt around his waist, and said if he had something to say: "Maybe not now, but I can't say for sure in the future."

Xu Beiyou asked, "How do you say that?"

"Xu Nangui, Xu Nangui, you kid is just pretending to be confused." Yu Kuang smiled and said, "Your father is the second assistant of the court, and you want to be the concubine of the court. You step on two roads, no matter which road you choose." It can make you go straight up, the reason why you can't go up now is nothing more than because the seats above are full, but right now there is an excellent opportunity."

After a short pause, he softly uttered two words: "Inverted blue."

Xu Beiyou didn't make a sound, waiting for the next article.

Yu Kuang raised his hand, his fingers bluffed, "The temple is very big, but there are not many first-rank seats, but as long as you succeed in inverting blue, you can free up a few, and each of them has high weight. Do you want it?"

Xu Beiyou glanced at him with a calm face.

"If you want, you see I'm useless. You have to go home and beg your father." Yu Kuang smiled and said, "After Lanyu's downfall, the chief minister of the cabinet can only be Duke Wenbi. If you become an official, you don't know where to start." How taller than others, it is not an exaggeration to call you Xiaoge Lao, but civil servants have many rules, promotion is slow, and qualifications need to be worked hard, so I advise you to take the path of a military officer. As long as you have military exploits, a 30-year-old first-rank military general is not good. impossible."

Xu Beiyou finally said softly: "In a peaceful and prosperous age, where did the military exploits come from?"

"Peace and prosperity?" Yu Kuang laughed out loud as if he had heard a big joke, and then said seriously, "This is not wrong now, but it may not be so in the future, Lin Han from the Northwest Grassland, Xiao Jin from the Wei Kingdom in the East China Sea, and the Daoist sect next to the couch, all wolves are watching, so why worry about not having any achievements in battle?"
