The atmosphere became even more weird. Even Zhao Feng, who didn't think much about it at first, looked strange.

Are the Yuqing sect and the Gu surname so closely related?

He was somewhat glad that the "transfer procedures" given to him by his father were complete, and he also vaguely understood why the Zhao family, as the head of the world, could not take advantage of all the opportunities in the world.

Just this chance can involve the followers of Sanqing Sect in the Taoist Holy Land. If they take them all, they may die suddenly the next day.

It's just that Gu Wen's mere slave receives the fairy's attention again and again, which makes people unhappy.

Fairy Yu Hua can read people's thoughts, but she doesn't care much about them.

Etiquette has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't need to be disciplined by common etiquette. She just praises things based on the facts.

Zhao Feng changed the subject and said: "After some time, the emperor's imperial edict comes down, and the big family with fame in Bianjing City may step down the threshold. The fairy is not here to talk about this matter. It is better to wait until Gu Wen comes and ask again.

When it comes to asking about water veins, he is the manager of the water house and knows best."

The Immortal Family did not enter the world simply to meet the holders of the tokens, nor to see how the descendants of the Gu family were doing. On the contrary, the Gu family was a chess piece placed by the Sanqing Taoist Sect in the mortal world, and was only replaced by him.

Yu Hua came into the world for the sake of the Immortal Fate of the Sanqing Taoist Sect, which is said to be some kind of treasure planted three thousand years ago. Zhao Feng cannot know what it is specifically. The Immortal Destiny is the core secret of all major immortal sects.

All he knew so far was that Yu Hua wanted to know about Bianjing's water veins, and the priests in the palace speculated that what the Sanqing Dao Sect was looking for might be some kind of magic medicine.

At this time, footsteps were heard and Gu Wen came from the left aisle. Jiang Fugui was afraid that he would fall and helped him but was rejected.

I saw the descendant of the Gu family dressed in plain black clothes, with a slightly pale and weak face. His expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he held his hands and said, "Greetings to His Highness Ninth Prince, and to Fairy Yu Hua."

Being respectful as always, Zhao Feng's expression softened. The other party did not feel resentful or arrogant because of the revelation of his identity and cause and effect.

Fairy Yu Hua asked: "I heard that you have contracted the cold?"

"It's just a minor illness. It'll be fine in a few days. I don't want to miss the fairy's big event."

"I came here today just to take a look at the residence."

"The fairies love you so much, but you are so frightened."

Alienated, extremely defensive.

Fairy Yu Hua knew what the other party was thinking, but she was not surprised. After all, she had always acted in a bad way before.

"Those people outside your door..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Wen rushed to answer: "They are all poor beggars. When I saw how pitiful they were, I would work for food. If I work hard, I can always have enough to eat."

Zhao Feng fell in love with the fairy, frowned and reprimanded: "We are all Daqian people, why are we like this? We chose the Japanese king to write to the court to help the refugees."

"Your Highness is holy and virtuous, I am ashamed of myself." Gu Wen bowed towards the other party again, but his heart trembled, knowing that he was going to do something bad.

When the government helps the people, it usually means food and money, but the money usually falls into the hands of the officials, and the food is mostly water and rice, that is, porridge.

In a dietary environment without much oil and water, it is necessary to consume a large amount of carbohydrates to ensure that the body does not suffer from problems. At best, porridge and rice can only ensure that one does not starve to death, but it will make him weaker. The government often uses this method to boil frogs in warm water.

They will starve to death when they rebel.

Now that the imperial treasury is empty, I am afraid that even the porridge and water are not available. Therefore, civil unrest breaks out every year in Bianjing, but the scale is much smaller, and will soon be eliminated by the imperial army.

Gu Wen couldn't let the place where he lived become chaotic. If the rebels didn't attack his mansion, the army that came to suppress the rebellion would bite him hard.

Money is a trivial matter, and lives can easily be endangered during turmoil.

"The water house under my command is short of manpower recently, and the royal weaving bureau was burned down by rioters some time ago. We can use work as a relief, which will reduce a lot of money. When the time comes, your highness will write to the emperor and get a share of the credit."

"It's hard to change your businessman's heart. If you get a title in the future, wouldn't it be a joke?" Zhao Feng criticized, but Gu Wen's flattery and unchanging attitude made him feel comfortable. He waved his hand and said: "Fu

We still have a textile factory in our hands, so I’ll let you take care of it for the time being.”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ashamed of yourself?

The thin lips behind the veil of the bamboo hat couldn't help but curl up. This descendant of the Gu family was really talking nonsense. Yu Hua couldn't hear the other person's thoughts at the moment. His temperament was calmer than most people. Listening carefully would not allow him to spy on everything in detail.

of the human heart.

But it is really interesting to feel Gu Wen's full disdain for Zhao Feng. A businessman looks down on the noble son of the Tian family from the bottom of his heart.

This descendant of the Gu family is also quite capable. There are few people who save others in the world, and even fewer people who save others and themselves.

As always, Zhao Feng encouraged Gu Wen aloofly, saying: "Although you don't have the blessing or talent for cultivation, nor do you come from a good family, you are fortunate to have a good mind and know how to advance and retreat. In the future, if you get a title or can study to gain fame, don't make mistakes.

Get involved in business more often so as not to taint yourself."

"If you have the reputation of being a successful candidate, it is not unreasonable for you to be worshiped in the imperial court in the future."

Gu Wen bowed his head again and again to express his gratitude: "Your Highness has high hopes for me, and I will definitely get the honors."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Feng patted him on the shoulder, smiled happily, and waved his hand to Feng Xiang to pay: "Feng Daban, I will reward the future Marquis Wen of Daqian with one thousand taels."

In the past, being called Marquis Wen was a compliment from his servants, but after a period of time when the imperial edict was issued, he would be well-deserved.

The eunuch Feng Xiang took out a large piece of money and complimented Gu Wen in a completely different manner than before. The servants and maids standing around looked at him with fiery eyes. They were all extremely excited when they heard that their master was really going to make him a marquis.

Gu Wen just responded with a smile, without being disrespectful and not too excited.

He knew very well that the title of Marquis was just a title, a title that did not have much benefit. The current Emperor Daqian's imperial decree did not extend beyond Bianjing's radius of thousands of miles, and the rest of the country was alienated.

At most they can get some salary, but I don't know how many more years the court can support it.

At this time, Taoist Priest Suyi stood up, and suddenly all eyes gathered around him. She looked at him and asked: "How about the wealth that the Zhao family gave you?"

Gu Wen was stunned for a moment and then replied: "It's beyond words to be rich."

"That's good."

Fairy Yu Hua left the lobby and landed on the bluestone in the courtyard. Zhao Feng and others had to follow, while Gu Wen led a group of servants to the door.

Suddenly, he noticed that the personal guard who followed Zhao Feng into the mansion did not leave, but stood behind him.

Gu Wen suddenly felt something bad and said: "Your Highness, your personal guard..."

Zhao Feng stepped on the carriage with one foot, turned around and said with concern: "Bianjing has not been peaceful recently. A large family has been wiped out by bandits. I have brought some of the royal guards to you to avoid being disturbed by the mob."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Hua slightly raised her head and looked at Gu Wen, and she sensed a hint of murderous intent.

It was the first time that this descendant of the Gu family had such intense emotions.

Gu Wen's pupils shrank slightly with his head lowered, and an uncontrollable chill flashed in his eyes.

Since time travel to the present day, from beggar to Wen Hou of Longqiao, he has experienced life and death crises more than he can count on both hands. Beggars have fought for food, business wars have murdered, assassinations on the street, and even poisoning and imprisonment, etc. He has survived them all. He is cautious and prudent.

According to his principles, safety is his first need.

The royal guards are more like butcher's knives than bodyguards. Zhao Feng has stepped on his own red line.

He refused calmly: "According to Taizu's law, a small merchant is not allowed to have guards, let alone armed servants. The royal guards are all generals, so how can the young He De dare to let them guard him.

"

"You will be a marquis in the future."

"Fenghouzi is a big deal, I'm afraid it will take next year. If you are from a humble background, you should follow the etiquette."

Gu Wen shook his head and refused.

What he got was Zhao Feng's "intimate" smile. He waved, and armored sergeants walked out of the house one by one, with swords hanging on their waists, a total of twelve personal guards.

"The agreement between the Immortal Sect and the Zhao family cannot be voided, and Fairy Yu Hua cannot allow it. Do you want to resist the order?"

The last sentence sounded more like a greeting than a threat.

If you refuse any more, you are being rebellious.

Without hesitation, Gu Wen bowed his hands and said, "Thank you Lord for your kindness!"

When leaders sometimes don't care about right or wrong, they mostly care about whether someone is obedient or not.

Gu Wen has endured until today, and revenge is not far behind. Especially since he has a destiny, he should be more cautious and stay dormant until the day he can overturn the table.

His forbearance at this moment is by no means a coward, but a step-by-step process that can push the Zhao family into the abyss.

Zhao Feng showed a winner's smile and used power to suppress others, which is the most beautiful thing in the world.

'He is bowing his head again. He is really used to being humble.'

In Fairy Yu Hua's view, the descendants of the Gu family are too weak and have been quite submissive from beginning to end. But this is not shameful. People are humane and rats have their own ways. Accept the way others live.

Besides, he had no room for resistance. Maybe in the future, a descendant of the Gu family would take back everything they deserve.

Fairy Yu Hua put it behind her mind. No matter how big the cause was, it was the fault of the elders in the sect. All she had to do was find the opportunity to become an immortal.

Da da da.

The donkey stepped forward on the bluestone slab, paying no attention to the majestic Zhao Feng, who could not catch Yu Hua's eyes.

The spiritual wind filled my ears again, and wisps of thoughts came from my mind. I only heard a whisper of self-encouragement.

"Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability."

The reins suddenly tightened, and the donkey stopped and turned its head with a lively look of annoyance in its eyes. Fairy Yu Hua suddenly looked back, and her eyes behind the bamboo hat stared straight at Gu Wen.

Looking at that ordinary face that is neither humble nor arrogant, there is almost nothing wrong with it. He is a humble and humble businessman.
