Chapter 1046: The Gate Is High and Difficult to Enter

Bai Yu's brain was working fast, analyzing the current situation.

The biggest problem of Huangjiabao at present is that there is no official support.

This is extremely fatal in the Dahong Xian Dynasty, which was established by the imperial examination.

Without official protection, and with a generous income, it is simply a piece of fat cake, and anyone wants to take a bite.

He had considered this point a long time ago, thinking about slowly finding a backer.

However, the matter of cultivating immortals is inherently contrary to business.

The business world changes rapidly, but a cultivator can retreat for hundreds or thousands of years.

He has only been in seclusion for a few decades, and the development of Huangjiabao is out of control.

And Qiao Rou is just a housekeeper, without decision-making ability, and can't judge the situation accurately.

So, she dragged him out of seclusion.

It can be seen how important it is to have an assistant who is absolutely trustworthy and can handle all kinds of chores.

"Alas, if only Yu Niang was here."

Bai Yu was stunned, shook his head with a bitter smile, and retracted his thoughts.

For now, the only solution is to go through Guan Jinyu's back door.

I hope that favor can still be fulfilled.

He immediately took action, bought a generous gift, and transferred the income account book of the land rent talisman in the fort.

After making full preparations, he set off in a dusty manner.

…

Sanjiang County, Guan Mansion.

Bai Yu looked at the magnificent mansion and couldn't help but secretly thought that this pomp was much higher than that of the Huang family.

The pair of lions guarding the house at the gate were actually living fire lions, and their cultivation had reached the peak of Xuanxian.

The servants guarding on both sides also had a strong aura and had the cultivation of earth immortals and heavenly immortals.

Bai Yu walked slowly to the side door of Guan Mansion and said to a gatekeeper:

"I am Huang Kun from Bi Bo Lake, and I come to ask to see Miss Jin Yu of your mansion."

The gatekeeper glanced at Bai Yu and said unhappily:

"My lady is so noble, how can any random person see her?"

Bai Yu was not annoyed, the gate was high and difficult to enter, this was all expected.

A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door must pay the door before entering, this is a tacitly accepted bad rule.

He handed over a token and said:

"Huang and Miss Jin Yu have a relationship, please inform me."

The gatekeeper reached out to take the token and touched a cave ring under the token.

A divine sense swept it and found that there were many immortal crystals inside.

His expression became amiable:

"Huang Daoyou, right? I recognize your token. It is indeed issued by Guan Mansion."

"But we can't just let you in. Please wait here. I will go and inform you."

"But I can't guarantee whether the young lady will see you or not."

Bai Yu smiled slightly and said:

"Thank you."

After a while, the square-faced servant came out and said:

"It's really unfortunate. My young lady is out."

Bai Yu asked:

"I wonder when your young lady will be back."

The square-faced servant said:

"It's hard to say. It may take ten days or half a month, or it may come back immediately."

"If Huang Daoyou is not in a hurry, you might as well wait here and try your luck."

Bai Yu smiled, but cursed in his heart.

I'm afraid Guan Jinyu's favor is not so easy to fulfill.

Perhaps, she doesn't want to fulfill it at all.

Otherwise, why did she only let Wu Guanjia leave a token, and not even a communication talisman.

Bai Yu secretly informed Lao Mo to adjust the Guan family's ancestral tomb.

Every extra hour of waiting would record one more generation of ancestral tomb.

Time passed by, and it was about to get dark. The Guan family's ancestral tomb had already recorded twelve generations.

Seeing that he could not wait today, Bai Yu prepared to go back first.

At this moment, a blue-clothed monk came from outside with a medicine box on his back.

He made a surprised voice:

"Master Huang, why are you here?"

Bai Yu looked carefully and saw that it was the doctor Ye Yun.

Ye Yun also made great efforts to treat Guan Jinyu's Snow Dragon Mastiff.

He was appreciated and became a doctor in the Guan family.

Bai Yu smiled and replied:

"I came to see Miss Guan."

Ye Yun suddenly realized:

"You are in trouble, and you come to ask Miss to fulfill your favor?"

"Come with me, let's go in and talk."

As he said that, he took Bai Yu inside.

It seems that Ye Yun has a high status in Guan Mansion, and those servants did not stop him.

Ye Yun took Bai Yu to his own courtyard and sat down first:

"Master Huang, please stay in my humble abode for a while. I don't know when the eldest lady will be back."

"When she comes back, I will inform her immediately."

Bai Yu secretly sighed in his heart. This Ye Yun is a person worth making friends with. He did not become arrogant just because he climbed up the social ladder.

"Huang would like to thank Fellow Daoist Ye first."

Ye Yun was busy serving tea to Bai Yu and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about, Lord Huang? You are my benefactor, Ye Yun."

"Without Lord Huang, I couldn't save the Snow Dragon Mastiff. Maybe I would be finished, and I couldn't work for the Guan family."

Bai Yu thought for a while and said:

"I was forced to save myself that day."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ye, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Huang Kun or Da Kun."

Ye Yun smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll call you Brother Kun, and Brother Kun can call me Ye Zi."

The two had a great conversation and their relationship quickly became closer.

Ye Yun accompanied Bai Yu and chatted for several hours.

Until the afternoon of the next day, he apologized and left in a hurry.

After a while, Bai Yu received a message from Guan Jinyu to meet him.

Ye Yun took Bai Yu to a side hall and whispered:

"Brother Kun, the eldest lady is inside, I won't go in with you."

"The eldest lady is actually a nice person, but she is a bit willful."

Bai Yu nodded slightly.

"Thank you for reminding me, this matter is settled, please go to Chunfeng Tower for a drink."

Ye Yun smiled knowingly.

Bai Yu walked quickly into the side hall.

In the hall, Guan Jinyu was still wearing animal leather boots, crossing his legs, eating cakes as if no one was around.

Bai Yu stepped forward and bowed:

"Huang Kun from Huangjiabao, meet Miss Guan."

Guan Jinyu hummed in response, and nodded to the side:

"Sit down."

Bai Yu sat down as he was told, and said:

"I came down in a hurry, and I don't know what the young lady likes, so I brought some specialties, please accept them, Miss Guan."

As he said, he handed over an exquisite cave ring.

Guan Jinyu didn't even look at him and asked directly:

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Bai Yu considered his tone:

"It's like this, we recently established a business in Huangjiabao, and I would like to ask Miss to give it a name."

"Plus, the Huang family is losing talent, so I would like to ask Miss to send a few talented people to help guide the management."

Guan Jinyu was born in a family of officials, and was very sensitive to all kinds of hidden meanings.

She understood that Bai Yu wanted her to join a business and provide protection.

Correspondingly, to say that someone was sent to guide, naturally meant to occupy shares out of thin air.

However, Guan Jinyu suddenly felt that she was looked down upon.

Looking for her just for such a trivial matter?

How much profit can a business have?

She raised her eyebrows and snorted:

"You come to me for such a small matter? Is this where my favor is used?"

"You are insulting me!"
