Wei Bao suddenly heard Wang Qiuya's oath to himself, and after being stunned, he raised his head to look at Wang Qiuya, then blushed, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and joke: "Can this be regarded as a confession?" Or are you showing your loyalty to me? ”

"Last time at your house, my father proposed to get married, and I let you and Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei not get off the stage on the spot, I have always felt very guilty, I really felt that you were still young at that time, not because I had someone in my heart. Now that you are going out to ask for food, I am willing to follow you. Wang Qiuya can understand what 'confession' means, anyway, Wei Bao has a lot of strange words, she is no longer surprised, and after saying it firmly, she lowered her head with a red face: "I thought about these words all night last night." ”

Wei Bao's heart moved, and he wanted to hold Wang Qiuya's hand, but his hand was halfway out, but he took it back, and suddenly felt that he had teased Wang Qiuya twice before when no one was around, which was quite inauthentic, especially the night before yesterday, he stretched his feet into Wang Qiuya's bed to 'play' her. (Wei Bao still thinks that he has reached into Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin's bed, and the person he met is Wang Qiuya)

If it were in modern times, would you treat a girl like this? Isn't this a girl from a poor family, what is it?

The only thing that makes Wei Bao feel sorry is that Wang Qiuya's confession came a little late, he has already shown a certain amount of achievements, and he is no longer a poor child, he can't be sure whether Wang Qiuya's feelings for him at this time are simple.

People like Wei Bao, who love to be suspicious and suspicious, are all lonely personalities, if they are placed in modern times, eighty percent will wait until the marriageable age, and enter the marriage hall hand in hand with a girl, and then grow old.

But Wei Bao is only 14 years old now, and he has a lot of time to choose, and it will be difficult for him to choose, and if he is 'worse' than him, he has to doubt the purpose of others, and if he is better than him, he will doubt whether others look down on him?

Wang Qiuya realized that Wei Bao wanted to 'touch' herself, but she couldn't help it, and bravely raised her head to look at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao, who was used to taking advantage, was forced to retreat by Wang Qiuya's gaze this time.

Wang Qiuya's attack was a bit powerful, and Wei Bao, who was completely defenseless, felt a little broken by Wang Qiuya's defense, his eyes turned to the side, looking out of the carriage through the gap, and he didn't dare to look at Wang Qiuya.

"Young master, it seems that there is someone behind us all the time." Li Nan's voice came from outside the carriage.

Wei Bao breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Li Nan suddenly spoke, rescued him, and hurriedly asked, "The people who followed us?" When was it discovered? ”

"I noticed before I went out of the city gate, the man was walking, but kept trogging to catch our carriage." Wei Bao replied, "Didn't Childe always ask me to keep an eye out for anyone following us?" ”

"You're doing a good job, wait until you're in the golden mountain!" He originally asked Li Nan to be careful of being followed, because he was wary of Wu Shien sending someone to follow him, or the eldest prince of the Wu family sending someone to follow him, but now this person actually followed him all the way out of Shanhaiguan, and he felt that it was unlikely to be Wu Shien's person, because Wu Shien said that after he spoke, the matter of his own batch of goods had nothing to do with him, so it was very likely that the eldest prince of the Wu family sent someone, or someone in Jinshan who wanted to deal with him, otherwise he would not let people follow him like this all the time.

The person in the back was guessed well by Wei Bao, it was Zhao Ximao sent by Zhao Liquan, the first captain of Jinshan, to follow Wei Bao, Zhao Ximao has been bitter in the past two days, where does he live in Qiqinglou with that little money? There is no other place to stay near Yihong Courtyard except for the green building, last night I worked all night outside Yihong Courtyard, this kind of weather of minus twenty or thirty degrees, it is easy to be frozen to death, fortunately, the poor people of this era are frost-resistant, plus I ate a few flatbreads in the morning, and I am more energetic to run.

Li Nan agreed, "Go back, do you want to arrest this guy for trial?" ”

"No, they will follow, we will, when we get to the place, you quietly follow the man, he can't keep an eye on us, he always has to eat and sleep, see how he goes back to report the news." Wei Bao said calmly.

"Yes, Childe." Li Nan agreed.

"It's terrible that someone is following us? What do you want to do? Wang Qiuya asked.

Wei Bao said indifferently: "What else can you do?" It must be someone who wants to deal with me. It's not clear who it is for the time being, it's okay. ”

Wang Qiuya sighed, and then bowed her head and was silent, she had already let go of a big thing for her, what she said just now was actually not what she thought about last night, she didn't organize a paragraph before she was hazy, and she didn't completely figure it out until last night.

Wang Qiuya just didn't break it clearly, even if Wei Bao didn't marry her as a wife, she was willing to be Wei Bao's concubine, of course, it would be better to have the opportunity to be a wife, no woman likes not to be a wife, to be a concubine.

Wang Qiuya thought that Wei Bao should be able to fully understand her thoughts, but Wang Qiuya's confession frightened Wei Bao, and thought that she had given Wang Qiuya some wrong hint that made her think that she would marry her?

When I returned to Jinshanli, it was already half an afternoon, if it wasn't for the first-class horse, it wasn't so fast, the ancient road conditions were too bad, the potholed dirt road, coupled with the thick snow, couldn't go fast, followed by Wei Baoma's car Zhao Ximao has become a small black spot, has been left far away, due to the relationship of trotting all the way, now exhausted, difficult, walking are shaky, will faint at any time.

Wei Bao's A is not lively, hundreds of people are busy in full swing, some people do carpentry, some people do masonry, the people who do masonry and the people who do carpentry are roughly equal, because in Wei Bao's construction plan, there are not only sewage arrangements, but also drainage arrangements, not to mention in the poor and backward northern countryside, that is, in this era of the world's premier Huaiyang, Jinling such a 'big city', and no one is advanced to engage in the drainage system, as long as it is a rainy day, Daming regardless of the city or the countryside, is a world of mud.

It cannot be said that there is no drainage system at all, the palace, the palace, the mansion of the top rich people, there is a drainage system, bluestone paved pavement, or a small ditch, or a little slope, the courtyard around the garden and the artificial lake, these are the ancient drainage system, but the systematic planning and drainage system of the entire city and roads is absolutely none.

Wei Bao's manor, which has not yet started construction, and the entire armor, already have such a plan.

Wei Bao means to build a building first, and at the same time dig a drainage system, and then put a wooden fence around the Jia, so that you can start to develop from this Jia with peace of mind, and you will no longer easily conflict with a bunch of small landlords in Jinshan, the boundaries are clearly divided, what are you arguing about? In addition to the farmland under his name, Wei Bao has made people expand all the surrounding wasteland.

When everyone saw Wei Bao's carriage coming back, they stopped to greet him, and Liu Chunshi trotted forward.

Wei Bao stepped out of the carriage and saw that the stables had been completely completed, majestic and magnificent. A large wooden house has also been formed, the frame is determined, and now it is making up for the small gap left by the closure of the big logs around it, and the top has not yet been sealed, which has made Wei Bao very satisfied, and said to Liu Chunshi with a smile: "You are moving so fast!" What about the three stunned brothers? ”

"Back to Gongzi's words, the three stunned people took people to cut down trees. Hurry up tonight, and tomorrow a wooden house will come out, and when the smell of sawdust dissipates, the day after tomorrow, the prince and the old lady will be able to live in the new house. Liu Chunshi said happily.

Wei Bao nodded, "Okay, you guys have merit!" Do a good job. ”

Liu Chunshi wanted to ask how Lu Yin's affairs were going, but he couldn't help it, he knew, what he needed to know, Gongzi would say, Gongzi didn't say it, he shouldn't be in charge of things, and he didn't need to ask, and when Wei Bao got out of the car, he reported softly: "Master, the big head and Uncle Wang haven't come back yet." ”

Wei Bao sighed, and said softly: "Didn't you say that Hejian Mansion is not far away, and you can go back and forth within three days?" ”

"They said in front of Childe that it was too big, it can't be so fast in winter, it's good to come back tomorrow, it's such a thick snow, and several people are walking." Liu Chunshi replied.

Wei Bao smiled and snorted, glanced back at Li Nan, Li Nan understood, nodded to Gongzi, and went to follow Zhao Ximao behind.

Because it was too far away, Li Nan had never seen people clearly, otherwise Zhao Ximao was also a person from Jinshan, and Jinshan was so populous, they were all post-twenties, and they didn't know each other, but they must all know each other, so they never recognized Zhao Ximao.

Wei Bao walked towards his house, Wang Qiuya followed behind, and Liu Chunshi hurriedly followed: "Son, there is no one in your house anymore, and now it is used to pile up hay." ”

Wei Bao Yiqi, "Then where did my mother live last night?" ”

"Last night, I was wronged in the stable, the stable is sheltered from the wind on all sides, this is the best place that can be taken out now, tonight and tomorrow night, I have to be wronged and the son will also spend two nights in the stable." Liu Chunshi replied.

While talking, Fan Xiaolin and Wei Mu, who heard Wei Bao's voice, came out of the stable, as well as Fan Lao Pimple and Fan Xiaolin's mother, Wang Zhihui's mother, and now they are all assigned by Wei's mother.

"Xiaobao, are you back?" Fan Xiaolin smiled, suddenly saw Wang Qiuya, and suddenly thought of the incident that Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya spent the night 'alone' in Shanhaiguan last night, and her smile was immediately a little stiff.

Fan Xiaolin, like Wei Bao, is also a person who can't hide things very well on his face, Wei Bao is slightly better, and he can often forcibly restrain himself and cover it up by his 'acting skills', while Fan Xiaolin is completely a person who writes his heart on his face.

So as soon as Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya saw Fan Xiaolin's expression change, they both understood what Fan Xiaolin thought, Wei Bao didn't take it to heart, and naturally nodded his head, while Wang Qiuya's face turned red with shame.

"Xiaobao, come in and rest, it's two days to go out." Wei's mother is happier than anything else when she sees her son, and now she can be regarded as living a 'nourishing' life, being 'offered' like a 'Lafayette' all day long, she doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to evaluate whether it is good or not, such a day is beautiful.

Wei Bao smiled: "Mother." As he spoke, he walked up to Huang Ying, "How was your stay last night?" The stables and the horses together, there is a taste, right? ”

"What smell are the villagers afraid of? It's fun to smell horse manure. Wei Mule said: "The stable is so warm, and there is a brazier, just like spring." Later, I will let Xiaolin lay the futon for you, and now you don't have to shiver from the cold. ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, "That's good." And greeted the elders of Fan Lao Pimple, Fan Mu, and Queen Mother and called people.

Fan Lao's pimple blushed and nodded with a smile, "Xiaobao, take a break, this cold day is the most freezing person, and you haven't had time to eat lunch yet, right?" ”

Although Fan Lao Pimple was dissatisfied with Wei Bao's temporary cancellation of letting him go to Hejian Mansion to explore the way, after all, he was a person of this age, and his strength was not like a child, and Wei Bao's status was now rapidly improving, and he was already the actual head of Benjia, so that his daughter and son could be reused under Wei Bao and have a good future, he would not worry about this matter anymore.

Fan Lao Pimple wanted to ask Wei Bao how the road guide was doing, he had always insisted on doing the road guide first, and then exploring the road, just because he knew that the road guide was very difficult to do, everyone knew that the business power of Yongping Mansion to the Guannai was in the hands of the Wu family, and besides, the road guide had to deal with a group of big people who were more powerful than the prefect, Wei Bao was a child in the township, where could he do it? But Fan Lao Pimple is now also learning to be 'obedient' a little bit, and forcibly held back and didn't talk much, if he wants to ask anything in the future, he would rather wait to listen, or he might as well ask his daughter, who is more 'face-saving' than him in Wei Bao's place.

"By the way, how are you doing at Shanhaiguan? Didn't you say that in order to go to Hejian Province to do business, you have to run a road guide? Did you do it? "Wei's mother has been holding back to ask about this 'big thing', and when she entered the stable, she was all her own people who were present that night, and she asked unconsciously.

Wei Bao instinctively snorted, in the end, he didn't get rid of the 'sling silk mentality', when he encountered something unhappy, he didn't want to answer immediately, and he still couldn't be calm, "I'll do it right away!" ”

As soon as a few people heard Wei Bao say this, they knew that if it was not done, where would they believe in what 'it would be done immediately'?

Fan Lao Pimple hurriedly said very well: "Don't talk about this, Xiaobao hasn't eaten yet, Xiaolin, hurry up and go to Zhang Luo for a few good dishes." ”

"Yes, Xiaolin, get some more wine to warm up Xiaobao." Mother Fan also hurriedly added happily and asked, "Xiaobao, do you want to eat cake or rice?" ”

"Let's Qiuya do these things, right? Qiu Ya is Xiaobao's personal maid, who is responsible for serving Xiaobao's diet and daily life, Xiaolin should go to the account, right? "The queen mother is not ambiguous, she firmly holds her position, she can't let Fan Xiaolin take care of the accounts and Xiaobao's life, and it's okay to let the Fan family take all the good things.

Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, and he didn't have time to speak, this nonsense, he also experienced the wonderful taste of being 'held'.

In fact, Wei Bao didn't like the interruption that Fan Lao Pimple was very good at coming to the scene just now, guessing how much schadenfreude Fan Lao Pimple might be now.

Wei Bao has always been very wary of Fan Lao's pimple and Fan's head, even including Fan's mother, it seems that all the simple elements in their entire family have been rounded by Fan Xiaolin alone. He doesn't like people who are 'too good at things' and look very shrewd, but prefers people who are more simple and simple, not very good at words, but can show simple loyalty.

"Now that the work has been divided, let Qiu Ya do these things." When Wei Bao called Wang Qiuya for the first time, he removed Wang Qiuya's surname, and Wang Qiuya and the queen mother were shocked at the same time.

Fan Xiaolin's beautiful eyes widened, and she was even more convinced that something must have happened to Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya last night, and a layer of mist was suddenly covered in her beautiful eyes.

Although Wang Qiuya didn't eat breakfast and lunch, Wei Bao asked her to do things, but she was full of energy, her heart was sweet, and she was busy for a while, and soon made five dishes, Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya ate alone, and everyone else left 'interestingly'.

"It seems that Xiaolin is a little unhappy." Wang Qiuya sat beside Wei Bao, and suddenly said something between eating.

Wei Bao was thinking about things, so he mumbled, put a chopstick dish in his mouth, took a sip of wine, and didn't answer Wang Qiuya's words.

After returning to Jinshan, all he thought about was whether Yang Gongzi would be pulled by his little blue pill, and now all his hopes were pinned on the little blue pill left in the hands of the housekeeper's mother in Yihong Courtyard, there was no way but to wait.

It seems that in a person's life, the most thing to do is to wait, but no matter when, the taste of waiting is not very pleasant.

Bring boundless spring, wait for the old country, and teach the sideburns and crows. Don't care about the money, and want to get drunk with yellow flowers.

Too much to look at, too high to expect. You can't forget it with or without giving up, and you can't leave it with or without it.

The taste of waiting is like this, constantly pulling people's hearts, whether waiting for a good result or a bad result, whether it is near or far, light or heavy.

After eating with his heart on his mind, Wei Bao went to the 'temporary room' arranged for him in the stable to rest, and the floor was covered with thick thatch and bedding, which Wang Qiuya had prepared for him.

"Are you going to sleep?" Wang Qiuya saw that Wei Bao had the intention of sleeping: "Then I'll go and help you get a brazier." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, nodded, and went straight into the quilt with his clothes and lay down, he felt that he was still a little talented in management, at least now it seems that everyone's position is arranged quite reasonably, especially Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin has a pungent personality, suitable for managing accounts, suitable for handling interpersonal relationships, Wang Qiuya is delicate, suitable for taking care of life for him, and accompanying him to observe his subordinates in secret.

When Wei Bao woke up, it was already seven or eight o'clock, there was no one in the stables, everyone was outside, it was time for them to have dinner, five large fires were raised on all sides, the burning bonfires were blazing in the night wind, the flames kept jumping, a villager squatted on the edge of the fire to eat, the burning wood made a beeping sound from time to time, everyone was laughing, and the laughter was heard far and wide.

When people saw Wei Bao come out, they greeted him one after another, this is Wei Bao's favorite scene, and he kept smiling, meaning that he didn't need to greet him, he could do whatever he had to do.

Luo San was stunned when he saw Wei Bao coming, and hurriedly walked up to greet him: "I have been leading people to cut down trees in the mountains in the afternoon, and now I have come back, knowing that Gongzi is sleeping, I didn't bother." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Brother Sanzi has also learned like Brother Chunshi, it's not a big deal for me to come back, what should you do, don't be so nervous." ”

Luo San was stunned and slapped his chest with a bang, and said arrogantly: "Childe, in less than half a month, I will be able to build several important buildings painted by Childe, and all the wooden fences around this armor can be built." ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have you and everyone to work." Wei Bao laughed.

Liu Chunshi also stood by Wei Bao's side and answered: "The three stunned people did a good job, and everyone was very convinced of him." ”

Wei Bao nodded and said: "After a while, the two of you will make a list out, with loyalty and courage as the first important condition, technology as the secondary, each person's name should be clearly marked behind, what they are good at, what their personality is, they must be written clearly." Half of the more than 50 people who have come under your management will be divided into official formations! Half is used as a temporary establishment. ”

Wei Bao didn't care if the two of them didn't understand what the compilation meant, anyway, he gave the order like this, he believed that there would be no problem with the list that synthesized the opinions of Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin.
