Of course, the salary is no longer the point. There are rumors that people have to queue up to give gifts to Butler Wu.
It is said that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister is no less important to Dayuan than the prime minister. Why does this seventh-rank official like to eat carrots?
"What do you know?" Butler Wu glanced at her, "The more frugal I am, the more assured my wife will be of me."
The mother-in-law was a little worried: "I will lead the troops to fight in the south this time. Do you think we can win?"
Butler Wu was funny: "Your Majesty can't say for sure, Yuan Dynasty is up and down, so many adults can't say for sure, do you think what I say is accurate? I naturally hope that the master will win, and the whole royal court, and everyone
The only one who can put down the rebellion is my master."
The mother-in-law was puzzled: "There are so many generals, but none of them can accomplish anything?"
"The south has been defeated several times. My master often told me that if you lose too many battles, people's hearts will be scattered. The generals sent by the king to the south must have prestige and be able to convince the people, otherwise they will not be able to suppress them at all.
The soldiers might break out after walking halfway."
The mother-in-law was dumbfounded: "Kaixiao... is it so exaggerated?"
"Why not? I followed the master to Xiazhou two years ago, and it was an eye-opener along the way." Steward Wu's voice suddenly dropped to a very low level, "Those deserters and defeated troops are no different from bandits!"
"Don't you think that prestige means constant victory?" He took another sip of wine, "Look at the generals in the court, how many of them are as prestigious as our master? Even if those young generals are capable, but
He is not famous, who can believe him? How dare the king hand over the army to a young general who is not famous and has no reputation in such an important battle?"
The mother-in-law was convinced: "So, it must be our master!"
"When the master returns in triumph -" Butler Wu narrowed his eyes, "just wait, our good days will come."
The good days were coming soon, and he had to be more cautious, but he couldn't ruin it by himself.
After the meal, I washed my hands and feet and started to feel more drunk.
Housekeeper Wu couldn't open his eyes, so he lay down on the bed. After a few breaths, he began to snore.
In the dream, the master had not yet left for the expedition, but summoned him to the study for questioning.
"I suddenly remembered, has Sun Hongye's matter been handled properly?"
"Sun Hongye?" Butler Wu looked confused, "Sir, I paid him fifteen taels of silver from the account. Is this a reasonable amount?"
"Then what?"
"Then he left." Butler Wu thought for a while, "He said he was going east to visit Bejia."
He Chunhua asked again: "Where is that book? What kind of annotations is it..."
"What collection?" Butler Wu looked puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing. I probably forgot about it." He Chunhua put his hands behind his hands and looked heavy, "I'm about to go on an expedition. I don't know if I can succeed in one fell swoop this time. Alas, it's hard to predict!"
Butler Wu comforted him: "The young master suddenly came back and gave you a large loan from the Rongshan Sect. This is good luck and a good sign!"
"Chuan'er is indeed a lucky general, but he won't come with me this time either."
Butler Wu smiled and said: "Young master has been absent for a year, but you are still running a prosperous business in Xiazhou? It shows that you are a natural-born general, and it is none of other people's business."
"Blessed general?" He Chunhua's face darkened, "Where did this blessing come from? I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"
"master……"
"After fighting the rebels in the south, we have to fight Dong Haoming in the northwest. How much good luck can I have left?" He asked Butler Wu, "Old Wu, do you remember when I started...?" He said nothing.
Finished, but made a gesture of offering incense and paying homage.
Butler Wu thought for a while: "That happened twenty years ago. When you were a postman in Blackwater City, you assassinated the Anton people's envoy and was thrown into prison. That's where I met you. Later you
Clear my grievances, and I won't have to be beheaded... Two years later, the Andong people invaded again, and the local government pushed you out to fight the enemy. At that time, you were not sure, so you decided to ask
Move the gods!"
He Chunhua said to himself: "How could I invite this person back then? I can't even remember it."
Butler Wu rarely hears his master complaining about himself. If he were sober, he would probably feel that something was wrong, but now... everything seems to be going smoothly now, and he can't afford to have the slightest doubt.
"You go to the Great Shaman of Zhaomandu and say that you need help. It is too difficult to defeat the enemy, seize the city, and even take revenge by yourself." Butler Wu recalled, "The Great Shaman of Zhaomandu originally refused to support him.
Yes, but you broke down in tears at the end, and he was also moved, so he said that he could try to invite Naluotian. This god can bring good luck, but the chance of it being willing to respond to humans is very small."
He Chunhua nodded: "Gods are more greedy than humans, how can they do things for others so easily?"
Butler Wu said softly: "Please come down."
"What's the price?"
"At that time, you already had a young master, and the gods designated you to have a young master."
He Chunhua shook his head: "I didn't expect that I would have what it needs."
"You are reluctant to part with it, but God refuses to change the conditions. At that time, Blackwater City was facing retaliation from the Anton people, and the situation was critical, so..."
So the only option was to sacrifice the eldest son.
"Remember for me, why did God want Chuan'er? Are there any loopholes in the deal reached at that time?"
"The gods only said that the eldest young master has a special body. He is one of a kind in a million and is very useful to him." Butler Wu said with shame, "This old servant is useless. I can't find the flaw in this agreement."
He Chunhua sighed: "Where has Chuan'er been in the past few months?"
"Do you think he went to more than just Xuluo Kingdom and Mount Rong?"
He Chunhua glanced at him: "What do you think?"
"You don't even know, how can I know this?"
Oh, it turns out that you don’t know it either? He Chunhua hummed.
…
The next morning, Butler Wu didn't get up until morning.
As soon as he heard the time, he blamed his mother-in-law: "Why didn't you tell me to get up early?"
"You slept soundly, and you didn't wake up even after calling me several times."
Butler Wu quickly got up and washed up.
While washing his face, he vaguely remembered that he had had several dreams last night, one of which was about his master, but he could not remember the conversation between the two.
It seemed like he was asking about old things from the past.
This is really true, working as a housekeeper day and night. He shook his head and went to the He Mansion to do some work.
Meeting He Lingchuan on the road, Butler Wu bowed and saw the young master smiling amiably: "Butler, how did you sleep last night?"
"Ah, good, I slept soundly. Thank you for your concern, young master."
He Lingchuan nodded and left the house with his hands behind his back, followed by a large group of guards and a small squirrel squatting on his shoulders.
He has enough momentum to support him from the front and back.
Butler Wu looked at the young master's back and scratched the back of his head:
Did you mention the eldest young master in your dream last night?
