[0308 missing]
It can't be, right?
Everyone in the hall only felt that their perception had completely collapsed.
Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia, Zu Guangyao, Zu Chuncai and others were dumbfounded, and they didn't believe that Wei Bao had such good kung fu?
Especially Wu Xuexia, she has worked with Wei Bao, so she naturally knows what level Wei Bao is, she thinks that as long as she has one hand, she can fight Wei Bao without the power to fight back, and her younger brother Wu Sangui's kung fu is much more powerful than her flower fist and embroidered legs, how could she be beaten like this by Wei Bao?
"Where is Wei Bao my opponent? Wei Bao: He has a helper! If I hadn't been knocked to the ground by Wei Bao's entourage, ten Wei Bao would not be my opponents! Wu Sangui saw everyone's doubts, and angrily defended himself loudly.
"Wei Bao's men beat you? Who made the first move? Wu Xiang said angrily. Although he doesn't like Wu Sangui very much, but his son can only scold himself, others can't touch it, Lao Wu immediately protected the calf up, and looked at Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia angrily, meaning, Wei Bao is a person, how can I see him and reconcile with him?
Wu Sangui didn't dare to say it, knowing that he was the first to take care of the loss, and he might not be able to please if he said it, and he didn't dare to lie about what happened in front of so many people.
"Speak!" Wu Xiang angrily went up and kicked Wu Sangui's ass.
Wu Sangui could only tell a rough story about what had happened.
Wu Xiang frowned: "You did it first?" What if your sister asked Cai'er to bring it to you? Then he looked at Wu Xuexia.
Wu Xuexia knew that her father had already seen that she was in the middle, so she pulled Wu Sangui aside and said, "It's nothing, doesn't Sangui often fight like this with others?" After dressing, tomorrow will be fine. Sangui, you go back first. ”
Wu Sangui let out a sullen sigh and left.
Wu Xiang also said goodbye to Zu Guangyao, and then left with several children.
Wu Sanfu said that let Wu Xiang go to the manor that he discussed with Wu Xuexia to rest, if Wei Bao and Wu Sangui competed in Yongping Mansion in two days, Wu Xiang would definitely watch it live, so he lived here first, and Wu Xiang agreed.
Wu Xuexia saw that her father lived in the manor she expected, so she quietly asked her personal maid Cai'er to inform Wei Bao and let Wei Bao come and ask her to take Wei Bao from the back door and wait in the backyard so that no one could see her.
Cai'er went.
The group went to a manor of the Wu family together.
"Uncle, I heard that Sangui and Wei Bao will compete in two days, and there is a gambling game, if Sangui really takes out his kung fu to beat Wei Bao, I will bet 20,000 taels of silver!" Zu Kefa said to Wu Xiang: "I will let my brothers also bet silver, even if it is fifty to one, this time let Wei Bao spit out a few thousand taels of silver." ”
Wu Xiang snorted, didn't speak, looked at Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu, I don't know what his daughter and son are planning? Think they've reached some kind of tacit understanding with Wei Bao and act repeatedly? If it weren't for this consideration, Wu Xiang would have asked Zu Guangyao to trouble Wei Bao just now, after all, Wei Bao beat Wu Sangui in public, which was equivalent to slapping the Wu family in the face again.
"How much silver do you have, bet it all!" Wu Sanfeng said to Zu Kefa: "Last time Wei Bao took the Xiucai test, it should have opened up the relationship between the upper echelons, this time the competition is different, Sangui has never known how to cheat, with Sangui's kung fu, not to mention that Wei Bao can't martial arts, that is, looking at the entire Liaoxi and Liaodong, counting the generals, there are not many people who can win Sangui." ”
Zu Kefa nodded when he heard this, "Big brother, you said Wei Bao is really so powerful?" A villager can already go to the court to get through the relationship? And Wei Bao really doesn't know martial arts? ”
"You've seen Wei Bao, just look at his size, what martial arts has he practiced? Even if you know how to embroider your legs, how can you fight in the ring? Wu Sanfeng said disdainfully: "Wei Bao knows people in the imperial court, it's certain, as for what kind of person he is, it's hard to say, I heard that he recognized Dongli Niangniang's younger brother as a righteous brother, and it is estimated that this is the relationship." ”
"Absolutely not only!" Wu Xiang said decisively: "Sanfeng, don't underestimate Wei Bao anymore, you can get so many places for Liaoxi to admit Xiucai at one time, this has to go through the Ministry of Rites and the Master of Ceremonies, which is a big face!" Li Chengnei doesn't have such a lot of energy! ”
"Dad, Wei Bao is very familiar with the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Luo Yangxing who came with him last time." Wu Sanfu answered.
Wu Xiang nodded: "That's right, Luo Yangxing is Luo Sigong's son, although Luo Sigong heard that he didn't deal with Wei Gonggong, but after all, he is still the commander of Jinyiwei, and the power base is still very large." ”
"Wei Bao is a villager, so easy to get in touch with the Jinyi Guard's command envoy? Why is he? Zu Kefa asked puzzled.
Wu Sanfu shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's not good to ask people about this, right?" Na Wei Bao is very good at making friends, and he is naturally charming, and whoever has been with him for a long time will like him. ”
Wu Sanfeng raised Wei Bao when he heard Wu Sanfu's words, and snorted unconvinced: "What will make friends?" When it comes to making friends, will you be worse than Sanfu? Wei Bao is not the true character of the people, Diao Min temperament, good at sneaking and shooting, specializing in speculation! must have won over the poor emperor Li Chengnei first, and then Li Chengnei wasn't on an errand in Jinyiwei? and through Li Chengnei's relationship, he pulled in Jinyiwei's people. As for how to pull it up, it doesn't depend on silver. In these days, money can make ghosts grind! The money Wei Bao earned started from getting the rare furs of our Wu family! Without our Wu family, he Wei Bao would be a fart! ”
Zu Kefa nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly fanned the flames and said, "Yes, then the eldest brother just let him go?" He robbed the Wu family's fur, should he be arrested and put in prison, right? ”
"No evidence! Although I know that the fur was robbed by Wei Bao, but it has been brought into the customs, how can I say that it is from the Wu family? And doing business with outside the customs without permission, this is not something that can be casually put on the table! "Wu Sanfeng didn't have a good airway.
Wu Xiang coughed and glared at Wu Sanfeng, suggesting that he was talking too much!
Wu Sanfeng knew that he was a gaffe, although he was a close relative of his ancestral family, but in terms of business, it was better not to say more, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zu Kefa saw that Wu Xiang seemed to be a little evasive of himself, and he was a little unhappy, so he didn't say anything more.
Wu Xiang listened to Wu Sanfeng's deliberation of Wei Bao's route just now, in fact, he agreed, and admired Wei Bao very much, thinking that if it was himself, he was poor and white, and he didn't know anyone, and it would be difficult to start a business just by getting a batch of goods.
Wei Bao is not only good at management, the most important thing is to be sociable, not only to see things accurately, but also bold, dare to gamble and dare to fight, in a short period of time to create a huge family business, very remarkable.
Wu Xiang doesn't look at the problem as one-sidedly as Wu Sanfeng, he will think from a holistic perspective.
When they arrived at the Wu family manor, Wu Xiang said: "Sanfeng, you can accompany Kefa." Sanfu, Xuexia, come here. ”
"Yes, Daddy." Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu said in unison.
After Wu Xiang, Wu Xuexia, and Wu Sanfu left, Zu Kefa asked Wu Sanfeng strangely: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's nothing, it should still be for Wei Bao, maybe Daddy is a little unhappy, Sanfu and Xuexia are too close to Wei Bao." Wu Sanfeng guessed.
Zu Kefa nodded: "Big brother, you tell me the truth, this time Wei Bao made a bet with Sangui, can you make a big bet?" ”
"Bet as big as you want! Didn't I just say that? Don't worry, I know Sangui best, Sangui was beaten by Wei Bao just now with a blue nose and swollen face, if he really got into the ring, Wei Bao would definitely be beaten to death by Sangui! Don't you know Sangui's temperament? Wu Sanfeng said with a smile.
Zu Kefa nodded with determination: "Yes, Sangui is a character who never wants to suffer, if he really wants to go to the ring, he will definitely kill Wei Bao!" Okay, big brother, I'll stay soon, I'll go back and collect money now! ”
"Do you have any extra silver? Last time Wei Bao took the Xiucai exam, I lost all my money, lend me some to turn it over! Wu Sanfeng grabbed Zu Kefa, who was leaving.
Zukoffa: "......"
"What? Reluctant? Wu Sanfeng was suddenly a little unhappy.
"No, how much does the eldest brother want to borrow? Isn't Wei Bao fifty to one? It's too little, it's not interesting, right? Zu Kefa squeezed out a little smile, for fear that Wu Sanfeng would feel that he would not borrow.
"Borrow a hundred thousand taels! Either you don't borrow, if you want to borrow, you can borrow more, your ancestors' business is not small, not bad for that bit of silver. Wu Sanfeng said widely.
"Big brother, I'll go to a few brothers to discuss, whether I can make up 100,000 taels of silver is still a problem, as soon as you open your mouth, it will be 100,000 taels, and our ancestral family has not opened a silver number." Zukefa looked embarrassed.
"At least 50,000 taels of silver! Otherwise, I won't support you and Xuexia in the future! Wu Sanfeng said scoundrelly.
Zu Kefa almost fainted out of breath, originally he wanted to earn some silver, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "Okay, I'll try my best to find a way!" I won't play this time, and I'll just lend money to my eldest brother to play! However, if you lose 50,000 taels of silver, if you lose 1 to 50, you can only win 1,000 taels of silver, and you will lose so little that you are not very interested. ”
"I'm kidding you, I'm not borrowing any more money! It's not interesting to lose so little. Wu Sanfeng smiled: "You guys play by yourself!" It's better to get more than 500,000 taels, and if you don't win him Wei Bao 10,000 taels of silver back, I can't calm down in my heart. ”
Zu Kefa nodded and said, "Okay, then, big brother, I'll go." ”
Wu Sanfeng patted Zu Kefa's shoulder, "You must pay more money, this time Sangui will win, Sangui won, Sangui won, I will eat!" ”
Zu Kefa snorted, "Big brother, don't worry! ”
When Wu Sanfeng and Zu Kefa were discussing in the front yard, Wu Xuexia's maid Cai'er had already quietly arrived at Wei Bao's Maritime Chamber of Commerce.
Because Wu Xuexia told her to keep it secret, Cai'er just came on foot, and when she came, she directly found Liu Chunshi and wanted to see Wei Gongzi.
Wei Baogang had just taken a bath because of a fight, and was wearing new clothes, and when he heard that Cai'er was coming, he was very curious and summoned him as soon as possible.
"Sister Cai'er, is there something wrong?" Wei Bao said politely to Cai'er. Except for sometimes teasing Wu Xuexia, Wei Bao is basically polite to everyone, including his subordinates.
"Hello Gongzi Wei." Cai'er said: "My young lady wants to invite Mr. Wei to our manor to meet my master." Let Wei Gongzi keep it secret and don't let people know. ”
Wei Bao sighed, didn't ask more, looked at the sky outside, it was almost dusk, "Do you want to go now?" ”
"Miss didn't say anything, just asked me to bring words." Cai'er said.
"Let's go! Sooner rather than later. Wei Bao said.
After Cai'er agreed, Wei Bao asked people to prepare a carriage, and set off with only Fan Tou, Chang Wuye and a few entourages, without publicity.
Although he had just beaten Wu Sangui, he didn't know why, Wei Bao didn't doubt it at all, and he didn't dare to go to Wu's house at all, because Wu Xuexia asked him to go, and Wei Bao had an inexplicable trust in Wu Xuexia.
Wu family's backyard.
Wu Xiang was still interrogating Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu, "These things were all made behind your back, Xuexia?" Why are you helping that Wei Bao so much? Do you have a crush on him? ”
Wu Xuexia's face blushed, "Dad, what are you talking about?" I think that Wei Bao already has a lot of silver in his hands, and he has made a lot of friends in Beijing, so he can completely become a first-class big family in western Liaoning. This trip Wei Bao made money, and he will not forget our favor, not only can he make up for the previous deficit, but Wei Bao will definitely stick the silver upside down, isn't it? ”
"It's your favor, but I don't have it." Wu Xiang said angrily: "Where do you like that Wei Bao?" Isn't it just a villager with a more flexible brain? How many famous families and children of families in Liaoxi and Liaodong can choose with you? You can't see any of them? Just look at a son with mud legs? I've seen Wei Bao's father, and when he comes to our house, it's too cold to be a porter! ”
"Dad, where did I fall in love with him? Don't take a bite to see, it's hard to hear. Wu Xuexia said shyly.
"Dad, I'm Xue Xia is right, anyway, Sangui has two heads in three days and two hands, and Sangui loses the fight, which is not a shameful thing. This time people think that Sangui and Wei Bao are mortal enemies, so this time Sangui and Wei Bao compete, and there may be more bettors than Wei Bao Kao Xiucai! If Wei Bao wins at that time, this will be a big win! Let's join forces to sing this double reed with Wei Bao, just waiting to pass a windfall, okay? Wu Sanfu took the opportunity to persuade him: "Dad, you have little contact with Wei Bao, Wei Gongzi is a very good person, no matter what his father is, anyway, Wei Gongzi can go to a big scene anywhere, and there is no trace of the atmosphere of a villager." ”
"Wei Bao is not from the village, your father is from the village, okay?" Wu Xiang muttered angrily: "Then what do you say that he robbed our fur before?" If this breath is swallowed, will our Wu family still have momentum in Liaoxi and Liaodong in the future? Any villager can ride on his head, what will others think of our family? Have you ever thought about it? ”
"Didn't Wei Bao want to lose money before? We don't want it ourselves. Besides, Wei Bao didn't steal that batch of goods from us, it should have been robbed before it entered the customs, and it was still in the hands of the opponent, right? How can it be regarded as the goods of our Wu family? Didn't the other family lose money to us once? Wei Bao loses again, and he can get double share of the silver, which is an extra profitable deal? Wu Sanfu didn't understand.
"Hehe, whatever I say, you can talk back, who are you?" Wu Xiang glanced at Wu Sanfu. The personalities of the boss and the second are too different, the boss is stubborn, and he admits death when he thinks of anything, the second is too mellow, and it seems that he can resolve it except for the mortal enemy.
"Dad, let's take a sip of tea first, right?" Wu Xuexia obediently held a cup of tea to Wu Xiang and said coquettishly.
"No matter what you say, that Wei Bao, don't even think about it! I, Wu Xiang, our Wu family, can't have a mud-legged son-in-law! Wu Xiang said angrily.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I won't tell you. Wu Xuexia was also a little angry, and turned around and sulked.
Wu Xiang said to Wu Sanfu: "Let people serve wine and food, I won't go to the front to eat, I eat here alone." ”
Wu Sanfu hurriedly responded, then went to pull Wu Xuexia and said softly, "Let's go." ”
Wu Sanfu knew that Wu Xiang couldn't say anything to him when he was angry, and now Wu Xiang was angry.
Wu Xuexia stomped her pink feet angrily and followed Wu Sanfu out.
"Daddy is not very old, and he is starting to look a little like an old stubborn." Wu Xuexia slandered.
Wu Sanfu saw that Wu Xuexia didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Xuexia, looking at your appearance, you have already identified Wei Bao?" ”
"Brother, why are you talking nonsense? If I do it again, I'm really going to be angry. Wu Xuexia gently twisted Wu Sanfu's arm.
Wu Sanfu pretended to be in pain, and jumped away with a smile, "Wei Gongzi is not bad, I think it's very good, handsome, and can make money!" Blessed to marry him. ”
"Brother." When Wu Xuexia heard this, she held back a smile and chased after Wu Sanfu, and the two of them made a fuss under the corridor.
Wu Xiang heard the two brothers and sisters fighting in the house, covering his chest, almost didn't turn his back on his breath, his baby daughter, naturally more attentive than others, he watched Wu Xuexia grow up from childhood to adulthood, where would he not understand his daughter's thoughts, maybe his daughter herself didn't notice it, but Wu Xiang knew that Wei Bao had entered his daughter's heart.
It's really a big girl! Wu Xiang sighed fiercely.
"Childe, you wait here first, I'll report." At this time, Wu Xuexia's personal maid Cai'er had already taken Wei Bao to the back garden of the Wu family's manor.
There are several gates in this manor, and the back garden alone is very large, with three exits, if it weren't for the Wu family's own knowledge, they would not have brought people to this most inconspicuous small door.
Wei Bao was a little nervous, and said casually: "I'm sorry to trouble Sister Cai'er." ”
Cai'er smiled, and went to the back door to call someone, and immediately a full-time doorkeeper came to open the door.
Cai'er welcomed Wei Bao in, and Wei Bao asked his entourage to wait outside.
"Childe, shall I go in with you?" Fan Datou and Chang Wuye are not at ease.
Wei Bao said: "It's okay, you just keep watch outside." "It's not appropriate to bring two people, Fan's head is a little intellectual and eloquent, but there is no force. Chang Wuye's force is enough, but at first glance, he is practicing his family, and he is not going to fight, taking Chang Wuye there, others are afraid that they will misunderstand when they see it.
Wei Bao thought a lot along the way, and faintly felt that Wu Xuexia was looking for herself to meet Wu Xiang, which seemed to be very different from the previous time when she came to meet Wu Xiang, but it was a bit like a new son-in-law meeting her father-in-law, which was quite ambiguous.
But Wei Bao didn't feel that he had anything to do with Wu Xuexia, he really didn't pursue Wu Xuexia.
What the hell is it that came to me today?
Although I don't know what to do, but Wei Bao has already thought about it, Wu Xuexia has done himself a great favor today, if the Wu family is willing to accept it, he will definitely compensate them financially once, Wei Bao also hopes to cut off the previous unhappiness, after all, the Wu family is a big man in Liaoxi, and if he offends the Wu family, his life has always been difficult.
It is best to develop steadily, after all, the business can't be done, and you can't get any money by fighting with the big guys, Wei Bao understands this truth very well.
After Cai'er went to report to Wu Xuexia that Wei Gongzi was coming, Wu Xuexia's face turned red, she didn't expect Wei Bao to arrive so soon.
"You're here?" Wu Xuexia arrived in the backyard and saw Wei Bao, who was waiting.
Wei Bao snorted: "Today in the mansion compound, you will not be seen for a while, I still want to find you to thank you, you have helped me a lot today." The people of western Liaoning will not have to worry about food shortages in the next two years. ”
"Who wants you to thank you?" Wu Xuexia glanced at Wei Bao.
"Yes, not just verbal thanks, I know how! I intend to compensate Miss 200,000 taels of silver! The more than 70,000 taels of silver that your family lost before, as well as the tens of thousands of taels of silver that you lost 200,000 stone grain this time, plus the batch of furs I got before, although I didn't get it from the Wu family, I compensated the Wu family together. Wei Bao said sincerely.
Wu Xuexia was very satisfied with Wei Bao's figures, more than she thought, and glanced at Wei Bao deeply: "Why do you give me so much silver?" Is it just because I helped you? ”
Or else?
Wei Bao smiled: "I don't want to offend Ling Zun either. ”
"You wait here." Wu Xuexia's face was blushing, she didn't look at Wei Bao, and left.
She was embarrassed to go directly to her father and tell her father that Wei Bao was here, so she hurriedly went to find Wu Sanfu again.
"Don't I say, don't you see Daddy getting angry? Who told you to be in such a hurry to find Wei Baolai. Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "It's all your own arrangement, and I don't participate." ”
"No, if you don't look for Wei Bao today, I'm afraid there won't be enough time, Wei Bao and Sangui, aren't they going to compete in two days? If you don't say it now, how can you fake it then? How many people are staring at Sangui and Wei Bao now? I'm afraid that there will be something boring before the competition. After Wu Xuexia explained anxiously, she said coquettishly: "Brother, you help me go and tell my father, Wei Bao has arrived." ”
Wu Sanfu smiled, "If you want me to help, it's okay, wait." ”
"Thank you, brother." Wu Xuexia was overjoyed and shook Wu Sanfu's hand: "Second brother is the best." ”
Wu Sanfu went in with a smile.
When Wu Xiang heard that Wei Bao was coming, he just drank a sip of wine, almost squirted out, poofed out a little bit, touched his mouth, and said angrily: "Who asked him to come?" Is it you or Xuexia? ”
Wu Sanfu said: "Dad, everyone is here, you don't care who let you come." ”
"Now am I a father, or are you a father? When will it be your turn to call the shots? Missing! Wu Xiang said in a deep voice. After speaking, he raised the volume a little more and added: "Gone!" ”
