C224 Come and Celebrate
Xiao Yun smiled and asked, "For new things, young people should be able to accept them faster. Do you have anyone who can help you?"
Wu Xi smiled awkwardly and shook his head. He said, "I thought there was, but in reality, there was no one."
"Er... I think so."
One said it pitifully, and the other said it pitifully.
Xiao Yun thought for a while and said, "Then find one."
"Find any one? Can it be trusted?"
Wu Xi was puzzled.
Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "Is there anyone in this world who can be truly trusted?"
Wu Xi immediately became silent.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"In that case, I do have a candidate."
" Oh? Tell me about it."
" He called Lai Xi, an orphan, so he doesn't have a surname, he was a servant bought by his family, but this person is very smart, he was able to help the government take care of some family matters from the start, and after so many years, he had become a steward, and now he was taking care of the Wu family's courtyard. However, when I was sent to jail, he was the first one to run away. When I came out, he came back. It was also the time when people were needed. So I didn't bother about it. This person is talented, but in terms of loyalty... Sigh, there is indeed a problem. "
"Are you coming to congratulate me?" Xiao Yun touched his nose and said, "You can use it. Loyalty is not something you can hope for. You are a guy who has done too many immoral things in your life. When you died of old age, you died of old age. If your son did not personally cover you up, just burn incense. "
"This..."
Wu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "Young Master Xiao, you are going too far by saying this."
However, he felt relieved in his heart.
Everyone wanted the people around them to be loyal, but in fact, such situations were too rare.
Moreover, there was another strange thing in this world. When one's status was not high, there would always be some loyal fellows by one's side. However, if one's status was high, the people around one's side would not be so loyal. It was very strange.
He also asked this question, hoping that Xiao Yun would give him an answer.
In his eyes, Xiao Yun wasn't a child in his early twenties, nor was he the heir of the Xiao family. He was Saint Xiao, a person who would definitely become a 'saint' in the future.
It was very normal for him to ask for some guidance.
Facing this question, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh.
Then he said, "Actually, the so-called loyalty is usually just a community of interests. Even if there is a hot-blooded young man, those people will still be promoted along with their status. And become more rational, knowing the source of interests. They will understand what they should do. "
"Benefits? In the end, it can't be separated from benefits? "
"Hehe, what kind of thing in the world can leave this word?"
"You're right..."
Wu Xi sighed.
On the same day, Lai Xi was brought over. Xiao Yun told him a lot of things, including how to look at the blueprint and how to build it. He talked about it for four hours.
Just like that, Xiao Yun busied himself for the whole day. At night, he was going to have a good sleep, but in the end, he was dragged up by the Imperial Guards.
This was also the reason why he was so angry and wanted to scam the Imperial Guards.
That was why he was supposed to sleep today, but he woke up again. Now that he was sleepy again, he seemed to be in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Yun fell on Shangguan Qing'er's body. She took the opportunity to hug him and fell asleep.
It was as if he had fainted.
There was even a slight snoring sound.
This made Xiao Huai'en, who had been on tenterhooks the entire time, finally heave a sigh of relief. He was also somewhat envious.
Being young was good. The quality of sleep was good. For older people like him, it was very difficult to fall asleep, but it was especially easy to wake up. He had to wake up several times a day.
"This is really blissful..."
This reminded Xiao Huai'en of what Xiao Yun had said when he was chatting with Xiao Yun.
"What do you mean happy? He could eat, pull, sleep, and get up. This is what I call happiness! "
At first, he felt that it was vulgar, but the more he experienced and thought about it, the more he realized that this was the truth.
A person lived for an entire lifetime, that was all!
Xiao Huai'en raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already dawn in the east. A trace of afterglow appeared, and all living things were peaceful.
He smiled delightfully, turned around, and returned to the room. He laid down on the bed, and immediately, two maidservants hugged his legs and laid down at the same time.
Winter had finally come.
And this winter, Great Qin Country would definitely not have such an easy time...
The next day, Xiao Yun slept until noon before waking up. Just as he woke up, someone sent him an invitation.
It was actually Qiu Renyi's 80th birthday, and he wanted to invite all the guests.
This person... The birthday of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace was really an important matter to Great Qin Country.
Not to mention the high and mighty position of the Cabinet Prime Minister, there were only a few people in the hundreds of years of history of the Great Qin Country who could still hold a foothold in the Imperial Court even though they were over 80 years old.
It was still the same sentence, and the symbolic meaning was more important.
Shangguan Qing'er looked at the invitation and said, "It is really rare. It is very rare for such a banquet to give an invitation to a single person, especially a junior like Young Master. It is even rarer."
"Then how should I give it to him?"
"We must give it to the Xiao family in the name of our family. If we want the old man to pick it up and give it to the Shangguan family, then we have to give it to the Shangguan family. Whoever is in charge will go and pick them up. At that time, besides the patriarch, there will be no one else. He would also bring a junior, but they were all the most interesting people. This is also to earn the face of the family. "
"So that's how it is, then this type of gathering really is something that will never change, it is the ways of the world."
This banquet, what they ate was not some kind of meal.
Shangguan Qing'er suggested, "Young Master, since Prime Minister Qiu took the initiative to send an invitation, and it is such an important day, young Master should still prepare some gifts. It should not be too light. If it is light, I am afraid that other families will laugh at me."
Xiao Yun said with a cold smile, "In the current Great Qin Country, who would dare to laugh at me? Don't think that your young master has no official position or status, but just a fief. Your young master is the only existence in the Great Qin Country, and he doesn't think of me? Why don't they take a piss and take a look at themselves? "
He curled his lips. After being arrogant enough, he continued," But this Prime Minister Qiu also spoke for me back then. If it wasn't for him, we, as Saint Grade, might not have been able to obtain him. No matter what, we owe him a favor. We have to return this favor in the end. "
"Young master is right."
"Since it's to return a favor, I can't just casually make some gifts to fool him. Looks like I have to properly think about this matter. "
Thinking back, the first time he met Prime Minister Qiu was in a brothel. He was almost eighty years old, but he could still enter a brothel. He didn't even need someone to support him when he walked. This was simply a miracle.
Of course, Xiao Yun also knew that he did not enter a brothel for a midnight snack. With Xiao Yun's eyesight, he could tell that it was definitely not something he could do.
Simply put, on one hand, he was able to become a great scholar. On the other hand, it was also to prove to the world that his body was strong.
That was how people were.
Only those who had dealings with you with benefits believed that you were healthy and could live for a while longer. They would not have any bad intentions.
Nobles are afraid of old age.
As the saying goes, "Feng Tang, Tang Yi, Li Guang will not be able to seal it."
He could not read these words, and could not even step into the door of the official office.
On the surface, Xiao Yun seemed to be walking in the opposite direction, but in reality, it was reasonable. At least, it was in line with the human heart.
However, these weren't the problems that he needed to worry about right now.
What he needed now was a gift. A gift that could be taken out and not cost too much. It could make people stare in awe and praise him, but it would not make people think that Xiao Yun was exaggerating.
Therefore, he thought of one thing.
"Qing'er, why don't I write a word for Prime Minister Qiu? He should be very happy when he gets it, right?"
