Half a month later, in Youzhou City.

"Mr. Gu, I would like to give you a gift from Wansheng. My name is Cui Zhangyu. I can barely be regarded as the young master of the Cui family of this generation. Due to the order of the elder of the family, I was asked to go to Youzhou to pick up the goods. This is Wansheng's jade pendant, with the inscription on it

Mr. Gu can ask someone to check the Cui family's unique clan emblem and confirm the identity of Wansheng before making a decision."

"Sir, Mr. Gu, are you listening?"

"Ah ah ah, I'm listening, I'm listening, you just said your name is...an octopus?"

"Yes, Zhang Yu, his late name is Cui Zhangyu."

"Ahem, this name...well, it's very meaningful."

"Why does Wansheng feel like Mr. Gu wants to laugh?"

"No, no, you are wrong. I am very serious and my face is full of righteousness. By the way, you said I am here to pick up the goods?"

"Mr. Gu, Wansheng is here to pick up the goods. Not long ago, our Qinghe Cui family spent 7 points and used the efficacy of the magic card to exchange for a course of miracle medicine. Mr. Gu, if you are worried, you can

Check it before shipping..."

"That's not necessary, but you're looking for the wrong person. You can't look to me for shipping. You should look to my sister Gu Chang'e. This girl is in charge of our Gu family's treasure house and is also responsible for point redemption. So,

Just go find her directly!"

"Will Fairy Gu recognize our Cui family's exchange?"

"I must admit it, and there will be no mistakes, because she has a general point redemption table in her hand, and what you Cui has is just the secondary card in the redemption table. Whenever points consumption appears on the secondary card, my sister has

The total card number of the customer will be known immediately, and it can also be shown which company is purchasing the goods, so as to ensure that no one will be pretending to receive the goods. "

"This... the Mo sect passed down by Mr. Gu's family is really amazing."

"Haha, let's go. I still have some government affairs to deal with here, so I won't go there with you."

When Gu Tianya said this, his tone remained gentle, but he picked up the tea cup and took a sip. This was the way of serving tea to guests that had just emerged in the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, there was no tea in the Tang Dynasty. Both aristocratic and famous families made tea. Although there was also a tea ceremony, the tea ceremony was too crude.

After Gu Tianya invented the tea, people in the Tang Dynasty no longer wanted to drink boiled tea, but took pride in making tea, and developed a set of etiquette for it.

For example, this way of serving tea to see off guests shows a kind of incomparable elegance and humility. Whenever the host wants to see off guests, he does not need to tell the guests clearly at all. He only needs to pick up the tea cup and take a sip, and sensible guests will naturally know.

time to go.

Such a humble and courteous tacit understanding made both host and guest feel comfortable.

…

It's a pity that when Gu Tianya picked up the tea cup to see off the guests, the new generation of the Qinghe Cui family did not leave.

Instead, he said eagerly: "Well, wait a minute, Mr. Gu, I still have some things I want to bother you about. Please give me a little more time. I will be able to explain things clearly soon."

Gu Tianya seemed to be slightly startled, and asked curiously: "Could it be that your Cui family still has goods to exchange?"

Cui Zhangyu shook his head quickly, then bowed to Gu Tianya, and then said cautiously: "Mr. Gu, I heard that your land in Youzhou is in dire straits, and the people are constantly fleeing, and the Han slaves are about to be sent away by the Turks.

Come on, under such circumstances, you must be short of manpower here."

Gu Tianya suddenly felt happy, but his face continued to remain calm. He nodded slowly and said, "Yes, everyone knows this. I do lack people here, especially talented people."

"Mr. Gu, our Qinghe Cui family is willing to help."

Cui Zhangyu was obviously the newly cultivated heir. Both his government and his character were much better investigated than the previous Mr. Cui Zhai. This young man could not hide what was in his heart at all. He looked at Gu Tianya eagerly and said, "Wan Sheng

The main task of coming here this time is to retrieve the magic medicine, but Wan Sheng also has another task, which is to lead a group of scholars from the Cui family of Qinghe to submit papers to you..."

He paused for a moment, his tone became quite uneasy, and he cautiously probed: "Mr. Gu, do you have time to meet these scholars? They are all very talented young people, all from the Cui family of Qinghe.

A rare capable person.”

Gu Tianya seemed to be embarrassed. He pointed at a pile of documents on his desk and sighed: "As you can see, I have a lot of official duties here. As you just said, the land of Youyun is full of waste.

By the way, I have to deal with countless official affairs every day, and I hardly dare to relax for a moment, otherwise once I delay the approval of a certain government affairs, hundreds or even thousands of people may have to suffer from the cold..."

These words vaguely told the other party that he did not have time to meet with the scholars of the Cui family for the time being. Although this was a polite refusal, Gu Tianya's tone of voice was very gentle, so Cui Zhangyu did not feel embarrassed, but felt that he was taken seriously by Gu Tianya.

of glory.

Although this man was not rich in the city, he was the son of an aristocratic family after all. When he saw this situation, he naturally did not dare to be verbose. Instead, he respectfully bowed to Gu Tianya again and said goodbye: "Wansheng also knows that Mr. is too busy.

So the request just now is really rude. I don’t dare to delay you anymore, sir, so I’m going to say goodbye to you now..."

His words were equally polite, but he couldn't help but add a sentence at the end, saying very eagerly: "Wansheng will live in the city with the Cui family's scholars, waiting for Mr. Gu to free up his free time.

If it comes to that time, if it comes to that time..."

Gu Tianya smiled warmly and reassured him: "If that time comes, I will summon your Cui family's scholars first. How about that?"

Cui Zhangyu was obviously overjoyed and quickly saluted for the fourth time. After this salute, he did not dare to disturb him anymore. He slowly walked back to the door and then dared to turn around and leave.

Gu Tianya watched him leave, his expression remaining calm from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Cui Zhangyu's figure was far away that Gu Tianya took a deep breath. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the back room of the house and said, "Did you see it? This is called playing hard to get. The general way of doing things is

There are two types, and each has its own meaning and purpose. The first type of routine is called 'give it to you before you ask for it'. All five of you, please come out and let someone analyze this routine."

But as he spoke, five disciples came out of the back room gesticulating. Cheng Chumo was definitely not willing to answer the question, so he smiled and picked up the rag and wiped the table carelessly, while he continued to fawn over and said with a dog-legged look on his face.

: "I am the founder of the mountain. I cannot compete with my junior brothers for opportunities. Let them answer. I will help Master clean the table."

Fang Yiai and Li Chongyi were robbed of the opportunity by him, so they could no longer use the excuse of wiping the table. However, the two boys suddenly stood behind Gu Tianya, licking their faces and saying, "Master's review."

The official document is too tiring, we will give you a shoulder..."

Gu Tianya sighed and felt helpless towards the three disciples, but he did not criticize him harshly. He just said with sincerity: "Looking at all the teachers in the world, there are probably not many who can be as considerate as me. In order to let you

You have learned something and tried almost every method available. But... forget it, master will lead you in. Cultivation depends on oneself. The three of you stand aside and listen obediently. Listen to see if Lu Zhaoling and Wang Bo have learned anything.

To what..."

He paused as he spoke, then looked at Lu Zhaolin, who was slightly older, and asked in a warm voice: "Fourth, you speak first."

Lu Zhaolin was smart and did not find any problem difficult. The little guy took a breath and answered without hesitation: "What Master said, 'If you ask for something, you must give it first', is what it means to be a good person."

We must give some benefits to others before doing anything. Obviously we are asking for something, but we cannot reveal our purpose at the beginning. Instead, we should give benefits to others first and use the benefits to attract others to join in..."

The little guy took a breath and then said: "For example, our land of clouds needs talents, and talents must be recruited from all clans, but the master did not show a hurry, but instead established Cui Haoran's

The example makes the people of the aristocratic family excited. The master is obviously eager for countless talents to come and seek refuge, but the master has given away huge benefits before harvesting the talents. It is precisely because of the attraction of the huge benefits that the various clans of the aristocratic family are moved by the news.

In just this short half month, more than twenty young masters from aristocratic families have arrived in Youzhou with their children. This is the result of 'If you want to ask for something, you must give it to you first'."

Gu Tianya nodded happily.

Then, he looked at Wang Bo, the youngest, and said leisurely: "The second routine is called retreat to advance. Bo'er, please analyze this routine and let me see if you have made any progress these days.
