As Xiao Er shouted for food, the soldiers downstairs who were waiting for dinner immediately fried the pot happily and thanked Wei Gongzi for his hospitality.

The two attendants brought by Jin Qiliang and the two guys in Wu Shien's store were also very grateful to Wei Bao's generosity, especially the two guys in Wu Shien's store, they knew that Wu Shien would not be so generous, Wu Shien's big buddy Wu Youzi praised Wei Gongzi to everyone for his magnanimity, young and promising, knowledgeable, and good writing!

He also told the story that Wei Bao won the first place in the calligraphy competition in front of Shanhaiguan that day, which caused everyone to praise loudly.

Although Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou, Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and others have heard it several times, they feel proud again when they listen to it again.

Sun Yuefang didn't know that Wei Bao had such a feat, and she had a deeper understanding of Wei Bao.

"How old are you Wei Gongzi? I think he's very young, right? Sun Yuefang couldn't help but ask Fan Xiaolin, she could see at a glance that Fan Xiaolin was lively and enthusiastic.

Fan Xiaolin smiled: "Fourteen years old, isn't our son very powerful?" ”

This is the first time Fan Xiaolin has called Wei Bao a son, and she couldn't help but laugh after speaking.

"It's really powerful, Wei Gongzi turned out to be only fourteen years old?" Sister Fang praised quietly.

There is no comparison between being a soldier and being an official, and there is no big difference between ordinary people and ordinary people, barely mixing food and clothing, it has to be a good errand, such as a semi-formal establishment of a hundred households and a thousand households, then it is a good errand, and it is better than those mercenaries in Liaodong Wubian I don't know how strong it is, more than 90% of Liaodong are mercenaries, fighting wars in wartime, farming in peacetime, and even calling Huazi is not as good.

However, even these 'semi-formal' soldiers still pay a little bit a month, and they are often deducted, and they will be beaten to the truth.

The most unhuman in peacetime is the soldier, because he often acts as a pawn to bully people, and the most pitiful is also a soldier, they are also a group of people who are bullied, and the poor people must have something to hate, so once the soldier loses restraint and is released, it is a disaster for the locust to cross the border.

The biggest tragedy of the fiscal collapse at the end of the Ming Dynasty was that more and more big-headed soldiers were abandoned by the system and went to the road of rebellion! Otherwise, with the discipline and tactics of the peasants, how much more can be achieved by swarming the way of fighting?

If it weren't for the fact that this situation had become a mistake today, if it was according to the original plot, Zhao Yuanhua would have arrested Wei Bao and others in prison, not to mention eating banquets, it would be good if everyone could mix two coins of silver and play dice.

The food must be served next to Wei Bao and Jin Qiqi and their main table. The people below waited and had no opinions, and one by one they had already started to play the dice happily and played.

Fan Xiaolin listened to the sound of a group of big-headed soldiers playing with dice, and said distressedly: "Xiaobao is crazy?" Invite so many people to dinner at once? Including us, there are more than 30 people! I don't know if I have enough money? Didn't he just say that he would buy a carriage later? ”

"Yes, has Xiaobao forgotten about buying a carriage?" Liu Chunshi followed.

"Alas, what does Xiaobao want, let's just follow Zhang Luo, otherwise, what do we want to do as a manager?" Luo San was stunned and didn't pay attention to it at all. "Xiaobao naturally has his own thoughts, *** don't talk about us."

"Today's meal, I estimate that it will cost at least ten taels of silver! I just heard those soldiers say that one person should take half a roast chicken with him after eating. Fan said softly: "Otherwise, let's also tell the guys, and when we finish eating, everyone will take half a roast chicken away?" Anyway, Xiaobao instructed the store to order its own food at each table. ”

Fan's big head, in exchange for Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi and Fan Xiaolin's eyes.

Fan Xiaolin said angrily: "Brother, it's not me talking about you, you are really too far worse than Brother Sanzi, Brother Chunshi!" How can you say such a thing? Who are you as Xiaobao? Suckers? ”

"Do I mean that?" Fan blushed and touched his neck, and said, "Just kidding, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"I think Wei Bao is really powerful, and it really seems like he has suddenly changed as a person. This is to make friends, friends are money, and if you really take a thousand taels of silver from the Zheng family, do you care about such a little silver? Wang Qiuya stood beside Fan Xiaolin, and suddenly whispered a leisurely whisper.

"Moreover, the most powerful thing about you Wei Gongzi is not only to make friends, but he also makes friends with all the people who have a relationship with him, including these soldiers, it won't be long before they will let more people know about such a number one person as Wei Gongzi." Sister Fang is not a mouthy character, but I don't know why, when I heard Fan Xiaolin and a few people say Wei Bao, I couldn't help but follow.

Hearing Sister Fang say this, Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin and Fan Datou all nodded, and they all felt that Wei Bao's current realm was too far behind them! Everyone had a strange feeling.

Wei Bao has undergone such a big change, and it is just a matter of these three days, in these three days, Wei Bao has a miracle a day, which makes them all feel that life is too unpredictable, and they are a little dizzy.

"Qiu Ya, sit down, what are you doing standing alone?" Fan Xiaolin knew that Wang Qiuya still couldn't wipe off her face, so she reached out and pulled Wang Qiuya.

Wang Qiuya's face flushed, and she looked at Fan Xiaolin embarrassedly, feeling that Fan Xiaolin was much more generous than herself, so she pursed her lips, and then didn't excuse herself, thinking that Wei Bao would not be bad for me anyway.

Sister Fang at the counter was not only interested in Wei Bao, but also in the two women beside Wei Bao, because Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya were very beautiful, Sister Fang was secretly speculating about the relationship between Wei Bao and the two women, and it was inconvenient to ask directly, she was rarely so interested in guests, especially a young guest like Wei Bao.

Wei Bao only drank a few glasses of wine, he was really a little dizzy, at this time the liquor did not have an advanced purification process, in fact, the degree is not high, it is only twenty or thirty degrees of sorghum wine, mainly the cup is large, and a cup is about to have a small half tael. And these people drink in a hurry, just like drinking water, one left and one right.

Especially when Wei Bao first arrived, Jin Qiliang, Wu Shien, and Chen Beihe all persuaded Wei Bao to drink, where can Wei Bao stand to drink like this?

Wei Bao didn't want people to think that he had a small amount of alcohol, so he looked down on him, so he was so stiff, fortunately he was a mature soul and had good perseverance, so he barely insisted on it without showing timidity.

"Not bad, I didn't expect Xiaobao to really be able to drink!" Jin Qiliang held Wei Bao's hand, looked at Wei Bao with affection, and said, "Don't say that Xiaobao is young, just the old brothers of my yamen, after such a few rounds, they will already be playing tricks, either they don't drink half a cup left, or they are making excuses, Xiaobao's wine is good, and good wine is good character!" ”

"How is it wrong with the brother I recognize? From the very beginning, I recognized that my little brother would have a great future in the future, and he would grow old at a young age, which was the most rare, my little son was about the same age as Xiaobao, and if he had one-tenth of Xiaobao's appearance, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. Wu Shien happily added.

"Little brother, how old are you?" Chen Beihe couldn't help but ask.

"Fourteen, born in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli." Wei Bao said it naturally, and he didn't think about hiding anything, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, these are all officials, and his own account information should be able to be found casually in them, right? They're so interested in themselves, maybe they'll look it up one day?

He thinks it's okay to be young, it's the same as people who have joined the work, and they are classmates with so-and-so, but if they become colleagues with so-and-so's father again, it won't prevent him from becoming brothers with so-and-so's father.

Burst!

Wu Shien, Jin Qiliang, and Chen Beihe almost didn't choke on the wine, and even Wu Shien didn't know Wei Bao's actual age until now.

All three looked embarrassed and looked at each other.

Wei Bao understood why a few people suddenly became cold, but he didn't care, "Brother Wu, Brother Jin, Brother Chen, I know, I'm a little young at this age, and I don't have any background at home, my father is a poor peasant, and the three big brothers don't have to treat me as a brother in the future, just as an acquaintance, and I, Wei Bao, am already grateful." ”

Wei Bao said this, which surprised the three of them, especially Wu Shien and Jin Qiliang.

Wu Shien and Wei Bao have a business relationship, and Wei Bao made friends with him, but without the goods in Wei Bao's hands, he can't make profits from the common business with Wei Bao, and Wu Shien really likes Wei Bao.

Jin Qiliang was 'seen a doctor' by Wei Bao by accident today, and he was directly helped by Wei Bao, if it was because Wei Bao was young, he immediately looked at him differently, a little ruthless, and Jin Qiliang really liked Wei Bao.

Chen Beihe and Wei Bao have only known each other for a short time, it is originally a relationship between wine and meat, and it doesn't matter, seeing that Wei Bao has always behaved generously and talked decently, if Wei Bao didn't say it himself, he wouldn't have thought that Wei Bao was only fourteen years old.

"Little brother, this is too modest. Age is not a matter, Gan Luo was twelve years old to envoy Zhao State, so that Qin State got more than a dozen cities, because of merit by the Qin King Zheng to serve as the secretary, reward the fields, houses. The little brother is two years older than Ganluo, right? To be able to get together is to be brothers, to come and come, to drink. Chen Beihe smiled in the circle, because this cold atmosphere was originally caused by him.

Wei Bao smiled, this Chen Beihe is a big old man, I didn't see it, he was quite knowledgeable, and he could casually quote small historical stories.

"Yes, Lord Chen said this well, what is age? When I started my business alone, I was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and my life passed so fast. "Wu Shien is an open-minded businessman and is also very open-minded.

"That's right! What are you afraid of when you are young? When I was as old as my little brother, I was already ......" Jin Qiliang followed the words of the two of them, and originally wanted to blow it, but suddenly remembered that he was fourteen years old and was just a dogfighting boy in the countryside, and he was speechless.

Chen Beihe and Wu Shien saw the reason why Jin Qiliang couldn't continue, and laughed together, and the atmosphere became harmonious again.

"Thank you big brothers for watching it." Wei Bao diligently helped pour the wine.

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the cup, and gradually drank it, but Wei Bao was secretly vigilant.

He didn't feel that knowing these three people, he was considered a related person in Shanhaiwei.

Wei Bao's creed is that there is no reliable relationship in this world, and only his own strength is the best helper.

Wei Bao sees this very clearly, and Wu Shien is a business partnership, the most unreliable relationship is a business partner, he is half a businessman, he naturally understands that he can't talk about friendship with Jin Qiliang and Chen Beihe, and everyone is a person in the officialdom, he is a country boy, he can't do it if he doesn't put himself in the right position, and he must not feel that he can talk to their peers.

Even if they call each other brothers, in fact, Wei Bao also treats these three people according to the etiquette and mentality of their elders.
