That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 374

After Li Shentong looked around on the bow for a while, he trotted back to the cabin and shouted, "Master, Master, it's not good, something happened."

Wu Yu, who was reading a book in the cabin, was a little distracted. After hearing Li Shentong's yelling, he put down the book in his hand and frowned, "What happened?"

Li Shentong lowered his voice and said: "Master has gone to that big ship. I can see clearly that there are some beautiful sisters on that big ship, most likely they are here for Master."

Wu Yu frowned, and said expressionlessly: "What does it have to do with me?"

Li Shentong chuckled, "Aunt Shi said this, I am worried about Master, I am afraid that he will be squinted by those Yingyingyanyans, and he will not miss Jiangdu."

Wu Yu snorted, "Then let him stay in Huzhou, and the rest of us will go back to Jiangdu."

Li Shentong felt that he should, probably, [-]%, almost did something bad with good intentions. When Master came back, it would be another day of reflection, at least to say. Now he is at an active age, and sitting still is a real deal for him drudgery.

Wu Yu picked up the Shangqing Dadong Sutra that he had just read at the beginning, but for some reason, he couldn't read it at all.

After a while, a swordsman from the Sword Qi Ling Kong Hall reported from outside the cabin that Governor Yu had invited them to board the ship. Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, then got up and said, "Come on, let's go up and have a look."

Li Shentong immediately yelled and flattered: "Auntie, you have to shake up those crazy bees and butterflies later, and let them know what it means to be ashamed."

Wu Yu suddenly turned his head to look at him, with a charming expression, a typical smile hiding a knife, and said with a smile: "Shentong, come here."

Li Shentong faintly felt that something was wrong, and began to pretend to be stupid, and there was no movement for a long time.

Wu Yu smiled slightly, a smile that captivated the city.

After all, Li Shentong, a little flirt, has shallow knowledge and skills, so he couldn't stand up to this battle, so he broke his merits immediately and began to move towards Wu Yu little by little.

The smile on Wu Yu's face became wider, and he waved, "Come here again."

Li Shentong opened his small hands, "Auntie, give me a hug."

Wu Yu stretched out his hand suddenly, and the hand was like lightning, twisting his ear and twisting it hard.

Poor Li Shentong immediately let out a scream, "Oh, it hurts, it hurts, sister, please be gentle, gentle, we two are friends who share weal and woe, you can't treat me like this."

"What did I do to you?" Wu Yu said coldly, "You glib boy, if I don't teach you a lesson now, when you grow up, I don't know how many girls from good families will be harmed."

Li Shentong cried out for injustice: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can learn from each other. I am all thinking of you, Shigu."

"You still say!" Wu Yu glared, and added more force to his hand.

"Auntie, I was wrong, really wrong." Li Shentong hurriedly begged for mercy, "I will correct it, and I will never dare again. You have to trust me, Auntie."

Only then did Wu Yu let go of his hand, threatening: "Next time, be careful with your other ear."

As soon as Wu Yu turned around, he went straight out in a magnificent manner.

Li Shentong covered his ears, wanting to cry without tears.

Wu Yu boarded the ship in a fit of anger, but when he appeared on the stage, he really surprised everyone. In terms of appearance and momentum, he was far better than all the women on the ship.

The leading woman had learned the art of physiognomy, she was shocked when she saw Wu Yu, and murmured to herself: "The dragon girl holds the pearl, and the dragon eyes and phoenix pupils are really precious."

Rao Yu Kuang, who has seen the great world, couldn't help sighing to Xu Beiyou after seeing Wu Yu: "Nangui, this is your junior sister? Among the women I have seen in my life, this woman can be ranked first The top three, looking at the present, are only halfway behind Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xu Beiyou hummed lightly.

Just now, Xu Beiyou had greeted each other with these women. After Wu Yu ascended the tower, Xu Beiyou first introduced Wu Yu to everyone, and then introduced the women present to her one by one. When introducing the leading woman, he emphasized a little. With a slight tone of voice, he said: "This is Miss Huangfu Ning from Xiangfan, Huzhou."

Wu Yu gave him a nonchalant glance, then smiled at Huangfu Ning and said, "Wu Yu from Qizhou, you're being polite."

Huangfu Ning also said with a gentle smile: "I've heard about Sister Wu's reputation for a long time, and I'm finally lucky enough to meet you today. It's really a worthwhile trip."

Seeing that the two outstanding women wanted to exchange some private conversations between women, Xu Beiyou stepped back a few steps and came to Yu Kuang's side, and said softly: "I don't think there is any need to go to the shore to have a banquet. Drinking tea and viewing the scenery here is more or less the same." .”

Yu Kuang said indifferently, "Then listen to you."

Yu Kuang raised his hand, and Bai Yu, who followed Xu Beiyou to Liangxiang, came not far from the two of them. Yu Kuang ordered, "Do as Mr. Xu said."

Bai Yu immediately took orders and left.

Not long after, tables, chairs and exquisite tea sets were arranged on the second floor of Louchuan. Two women who are good at tea ceremony made tea by themselves. At the table, Xu Beiyou had roughly sized up all the women present. There were no crooked melons and jujubes, and most of them could be between the fourth rank and the second rank. The handsome Wu Yu.

Xu Beiyou probed into Huangpu Ning's background a little during the conversation, and knew that her family background was not simple. Although it was not as good as Jiangling's Li family, it was considered one of the top families in Huzhou. Her father, Huangfu Baili, had never been an official, but her grandfather, Huangfu Zhen, however, was an official in the court, and the official residence was the Tongzheng envoy, and he was one of the six ministries and nine ministers.

Nowadays, it has begun to show that civil officials are more important than military officials, and all civil officials form their own system. For a civil official, the ultimate wish is to be ranked among the nine ministers besides ascending to the court to worship the prime minister.

The so-called six departments and nine ministers refer to the nine first-rank or second-rank civil officials in the temple, which are equivalent to the five left governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Minister of the Ministry, Secretary of Dali Temple, Yushi Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Tongzheng Envoy.

Only those who are among the Nine Ministers can be regarded as real court officials and truly qualified to influence the government.

Although the Tongzheng Envoy is ranked at the bottom of the Jiuqing, he is still a senior official of the second rank, and his power is self-evident.

As the direct granddaughter of a senior official of the second rank, Huangfu Ning's family background is even higher than that of Wu Yu, but slightly lower than that of Xu Beiyou. Many people have already called Han Xuan as Lord Han in private.

After drinking a pot of tea, Xu Beiyou and everyone present dealt with it to some extent, as they had done their duty, whether it was to these daughters of a wealthy family or Yu Kuang, they were considered to have an explanation.

Seeing the battleship gradually approaching Liangxiang, the women began to prepare to disembark one after another. Xu Beiyou finally escaped and found Wu Yu on the side of the ship.

Xu Beiyou smiled and asked, "Why is Junior Sister here alone?"

Wu Yu answered the wrong question and asked, "Is Miss Huangfu's tea good?"

Xu Beiyou also looked at the river outside the boat, shook his head, and said softly: "Tea is something that everyone likes. Her pot of tea tastes a bit too much, it's not good."

Wu Yu chuckled, "Then whose tea is better, Your Highness the Princess?"

Xu Beiyou glanced at her, and said helplessly, "Xiao Zhinan didn't provoke you, did he?"

Wu Yu said calmly, "I provoked her."
