Chapter 249 The undercurrent is surging
"Junior sister Tang, he didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Ji Chongguang saw Chu Tianshu walking in the direction Tang Yue left. Thinking of the competitive relationship between the two, he was worried that Tang Yue would be I was embarrassed, so I chased him out.
"It's okay, he won't attack me in the city lord's mansion."
"That's good."
Seeing that Ji Chongguang had no intention of saying goodbye, Tang Yue He took the initiative and said, "Brother Ji, let me take you around for a walk."
Ji Chongguang stayed not long and would leave late at night. Other friends would stay for a day or two, and they would rest in the guest room after the banquet.
There is still a little time, so it’s time to entertain the Young Palace Master of Shangqing Palace.
The night market in Kunwu City is not as big as Wuji Mountain. There is only one long street, but it has a unique charm. Lights made of luminous fluorite are hung in the sky, and the lights are constantly changing, adding to the whole street. There is a bit of romance, and many couples meet here.
There are also large and small red lanterns hanging on the streets, which are distributed to people in the city for free. People pick a red lantern to go home, celebrate the good luck, and celebrate the New Year
"Brother , the lighting and lanterns here are customized by me from Tiangong Lianqi Pavilion, what do you think?”
"It's very beautiful. It seems that the materials are not expensive, but the effect is very good. It attracts many people to the night market and brings a lot of income to the store."
"As expected of Senior Brother Ji, I am this The intention is to hope that the people in the city can make more money and have a good year before the new year. "
Ji Chongguang asked when he found that people could take away the lanterns on both sides of the street at will, and there were people who were responsible for constantly hanging new lanterns. : "How do you ensure that no one takes more of these lanterns?"
"There are people on the street helping to watch. Like me, they hope that everyone in the city can get a lantern. , share the joy, look down on those who want to take more, and will stand up to rebuke these people and prevent them from taking advantage. And few people will do such unlucky things during the New Year. "
Ji Chongguang has a bright mind. The words "living and working in peace and contentment" flashed through, "If you can benefit the people, you are indeed very suitable to be the young city lord."
"Haha, I'm just picking up people's wisdom." These strategies are often used in modern municipal engineering, and she does it every day You can all see it, and it’s not difficult to learn something.
Senior Brother Ji asked seriously: "Which city lord has done something similar, or have you seen it somewhere?"
"Uh, I forgot, I just remember that someone did this "
Ji Chongguang always felt that Junior Sister Tang knew a lot of things that others didn't know, but he never thought that Tang Yue was a soul from another world. He only thought that she came from some mysterious inheritance, or from the heavenly palace. Saw it.
"Junior Sister, it will not be easy for you to succeed as Young City Lord. If you have any difficulties, please come to me."
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother." With the support of the Young Palace Master of Shangqing Palace, she felt more confident.
After sending Ji Chongguang away, Tang Yue returned home. As expected, the Lord of Tang City was waiting for her at Ruoshui Residence.
"What you said at the banquet was true. Do you have plans for the city lord's position?"
"Father, what are you saying? I am the wife of the city lord. The legitimate daughter is the legal heir of Kunwu City. "
Tang Wenhua was a little surprised that she could say this without changing her expression. At this moment, he looked at his second daughter again.
“You know that I intend to train Chu Tianshu to be his heir.”
“Father, I really don’t understand. I am not without strength. Why do you have to give up our family fortune? Outsiders, his surname is not Tang?"
Tang Wenhua paused for a moment. Can others know that he actually wants Chu Tianshu to marry him?
"Chu Tianshu has superb swordsmanship. He is a genius rarely seen in a century. His luck is astonishing. Only if he is the heir can we ensure the prosperity of Kunwu City for thousands of years."
"Father, what are you saying? I don’t like to hear it. I am a twelve-year-old Nascent Soul that is rare in a thousand years. My junior brother has a sword bone that is only one in a thousand. So how can Chu Tianshu be better than us?” “You were just lucky for a while. They are all low-grade three spiritual roots, so I have never thought about such a thing. Chongyun is too young and doesn’t know what the future will be like.”
"You also said, I don't know what will happen in the future. Now that I am a Nascent Soul cultivation base and have a heavenly five elements spiritual root, I will definitely not be as good as Chu Tianshu."
These. The words made Tang Wenhua a little confused, because he had always regarded Tang Yue as a burden, and it would be nice to marry her in exchange for benefits. He never thought that one day she would be better than the Chu Tianshu he chose, and the prejudice in his heart was momentary. Didn't adjust.
At this time, I was suddenly reminded that my youngest daughter had become an equally outstanding monk who could be compared with the proud men of various sects. She was still a little uncomfortable with it.
After a moment of silence, Tang Wenhua said: "Even if your cultivation level is higher and you have received the kendo initiation, you are still not as talented as him in kendo. What's more, you don't have a firm heart to practice kendo. Kunwu This city is a sword city, how can there be a city lord who doesn’t practice swordsmanship?”
“Father, I think what you said is wrong.”
Tang Wenhua said coldly: “What’s wrong?” He was repeatedly refuted by Tang Yue. He felt that the majesty of his father and the city lord had been offended, and he felt a little annoyed.
“Kunwu City has never stipulated what kind of Tao the city lord must practice. What matters is the successor’s governance ability and whether he can carry forward Kunwu’s inheritance. Even Xuanyuan Mountain has students who are not practicing swordsmanship. Why can't Kunwu City be the first? Besides, I believe that Senior Brother Chu will definitely think about the inheritance of Kunwu City. With him as the inheritance elder, what do you have to worry about? "
Tang Yue's words? She was using Tang Wenhua's logic. If she was not given any benefits and still wanted her to contribute to Kunwu City, then Chu Tianshu could do the same, and she believed that she was much more generous than Tang Wenhua and would not really deny benefits.
“I see that you are determined to marry Sister Tang Wan to Senior Brother Chu. With this relationship, I believe that he will definitely teach the amazing successor of Kunwu’s swordsmanship in the future, as well as his younger junior brother Mu Zhong. Yun, we will definitely stand side by side in the future, holding hands, thinking in one place, working hard in one place, and working hard for the prosperity of Kunwu City, through fire and water! "
When Shui Yingrou heard this, she almost spit out her tea. Ah Yue was so good at saying that this kind of scene was what Tang Wenhua had in mind, but the person who made the decision was replaced by another person, so she didn't know how he would feel.
Tang Wenhua really couldn't accept it, "You are a woman. It may be hard to take on this important responsibility. It would be better to be the mistress of a rich family."
Speaking of this matter, now Tang Yue The conditions are good, and it is not difficult to marry into a rich family, if she works hard. It would be even better if we could win over Lu Lingyi and Ji Chongguang.
“There have been countless female leaders, female leaders, and female city lords in the world of immortality for thousands of years. They have all made great contributions to their sects. Father, you actually look down on this female cultivator in the world?”
This The words are a bit harsh. Although the world of immortal cultivators still has the bad habit of looking down on women, thanks to the efforts of countless powerful female cultivators, people in the world dare not speak out even if they have this idea.
The current city lord of Huayue City and the leader of Xianyuan Mountain is a woman. If word spreads that Tang Wenhua looks down on women, these people will be offended. The cold treatment is a trivial matter, and he may even be retaliated secretly.
"That's not what I meant. Don't talk nonsense. I just don't want you to work too hard."
"Father, I am not afraid of hard work. During these years of studying at Wuji Mountain, I have learned that the greater the ability, the greater the ability." "The greater the responsibility, the greater the responsibility. I am willing to shoulder the trust of the people, focus on the development plan, and be a young city leader who is what the people want."
Shui Yingrou said, "Indeed, the piece of gold donated by A Yue is the best." Lingshi built a lot of houses for the ascetic cultivators and poor people in the city to live in, which relieved their temporary difficulties. Now everyone in the city is full of praises. I believe she can do it. "
Tang Wenhua heard that Xiao. His daughter was already gaining reputation among the people, and he became even more wary. He looked at Shui Yingrou, "You also support her and go against me?"
Shui Yingrou said calmly: "Why can't I support my daughter? Why can't you support your daughter?"
Everyone knows the reason why Tang Wenhua insists on choosing Chu Tianshu. If Tang Wenhua If Yue becomes the city lord, Kunwu City will be closer to Wuji Mountain, and it is very likely to become a subordinate city of Wuji Mountain in the future.
This is also the reason why Tang Wenhua has deliberately suppressed Shui Yingrou and supported Zi Xiaoge and Chu Tianshu, the heirs with foreign surnames, over the years.
He never thought that Tang Yue would be able to compete now. After the news spread, Wuji Mountain would definitely support Tang Yue, but Chu Tianshu did not have strong backing, and the situation would turn towards him. develop in an unwilling direction.
