Where are so many people with the same name and surname, and in the same place?

One is normal, but two have the same name at the same time, which is very rare.

What's more, Li Yan and Niu Jinxing in front of him now are both scholars, and Li Yan has already gained the fame of being a scholar, and he is here to be admitted to the Jinshi, so it is even more rare, and it is impossible to be confused.

How many other people can be named Li Yan in Daming?

"Oh, nothing, there are so many people in one place, how can they all know each other?" President Wei said casually.

Li Yan and Niu Jinxing both said yes.

Niu Jinxing has a bad reputation and is a traitor, President Wei has no good impression of such a person, and what Niu Jinxing did in front of him just now also made President Wei very disgusted.

But President Wei had a good impression of Li Yan.

However, even if the impression was good, President Wei did not rise to the idea of taking Li Yan to his side.

In fact, President Wei is not interested in these historical figures, especially any generals and strategists related to the military.

If it's a scientist, he might want to take it and upgrade them to see if they can fit into his system.

Because the military management path taken by President Wei was not a set of feudal cold weapons, he took the route of governing the army with hot weapons at the beginning.

And the higher the level of military generals and civil ministers, the farther they go on the road of the feudal system, the deeper they will resist the capitalist system! It's hard to change perceptions.

Therefore, President Wei is not interested in any historical figures, even if Zhang Juzheng is reborn, he will not catch a cold, his own system, slowly cultivated by himself, isn't there a sense of accomplishment?

Even if the capitalist system needs high-level intellectuals to manage it, President Wei prefers to cultivate himself slowly and grow with the system, rather than getting talented people from the outside to change it, which is too difficult and too laborious.

Moreover, even if they are not afraid of difficulties and change, these talents cultivated under the feudal system will definitely leave a very heavy dross in their concepts, which cannot be eliminated and can never be removed!

But not soliciting is not soliciting, but it has not affected President Wei's interest in these historical celebrities.

"Okay, it's not early, are you all full?" President Wei smiled: "If you don't eat enough and eat openly, the three of you and I have met, it is fate, don't be polite." ”

Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, and Xiong Zhaoqi saw that Wei Gongzi seemed to have the intention of leaving, and hurriedly got up.

"Wei Gongzi, if we want to visit Gongzi in the future, where should we go?" Li Yan asked sincerely.

President Wei smiled slightly and told him where his temporary residence was.

Li Yan and Niu Jinxing both said that they hoped to have the opportunity to visit Wei Gongzi's mansion another day.

President Wei generously agreed, and the money owed is owed money, and it does not affect being friends.

Although Bull Venus is a scourge, the scourge will not go to his head, and he will not use Bull Venus anyway.

Niu Jinxing and Li Yan happily ate two bowls of Yangchun noodles each, and then said goodbye.

If the creditor is a very rich person, it is not too terrible, because there is no need to worry that the other party will die because he can't live a life.

"It's not early, Brother Xiong, will you go home too? When do you usually close your stall? Wei Bao asked, "Do you set up a stall every day?" ”

"At this time, if I had left the past, I would have arrived home a long time ago." Xiong Zhaoqi replied: "It's not a stall every day, every few days, I have to go to prison." ”

"Which prison is it?" Wei Bao asked, "Can you enter the prison casually?" Can you meet your daddy? ”

Wei Bao was a little interested in the ancient prison, he had not been to it, in fact, President Wei had not even been to the modern detention center and prison.

"It's Jinyiwei's prison, I can't see my father, every time I go, I just send some silver to the cell boss inside, please take care of my father, and try to find out a little about my father's recent situation." Xiong Zhaoqi is obviously a dutiful son, and as he spoke, his eyes turned red and tears flowed.

Wei Bao snorted, he doesn't like to see big men cry, don't cry when the sky falls, what problem can crying solve? If you can solve the problem, you can cry desperately.

"Take some silver and give it to Brother Xiong." Wei Bao said to Wu Xuexia.

Wu Xuexia sighed, and wanted to remind Wei Bao that this is a prisoner imprisoned by the imperial court, and it is not a matter of reluctance to give up the silver, but if you give this kind of silver, it will have something to do with the Xiong family! Wu Xuexia didn't know if Wei Bao didn't think of this layer for a while, or did he want to have something to do with the Xiong family?

Anyway, Wu Xuexia didn't understand the benefits of being involved with the Xiong family?

This is the street, and it is the capital, so to speak, Wei Bao has been on the street since he was on the street, and his every move must be under surveillance.

Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Wucheng Terracotta Division, and Patrol City Imperial History Mansion are all possible, and it may even be possible in Shuntian Mansion.

Because these security agencies in Beijing are not only public security, but also subordinate to various backgrounds, and each background has a monitoring function.

But now in front of others, Wu Xuexia is not very convenient to discuss with Wei Bao, so she is a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xiong Zhaoqi heard Wei Bao say this, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Wei Gongzi, you don't need it, you really don't need it, even these ten taels of silver, Xiao Ke must not accept it, please take it back." ”

President Wei is a little strange now, and he said in his heart that he is the son of a former general, and now he has been reduced to a stall, obviously very poor, and he is very short of silver, why don't you want my silver? I gave him money, and he seemed to be greatly insulted, what is the matter?

"You don't have to be polite, Brother Xiong, this bit of silver is nothing to me, and for you, it may be a charcoal in the snow." Wei Bao Road.

"I understand Wei Gongzi's kindness, and I also know that Wei Gongzi is not bad for money, I am afraid of affecting Wei Gongzi, after all, there are many eyes and ears in Beijing." Xiong Zhaoqi explained: "Wei Gongzi is the one who wants to take the Jinshi exam, and it won't be good to have anything to do with our Xiong family." ”

Wei Bao understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but look up to this honest young man a little bit.

Wu Xuexia is the same, listening to Xiong Zhaoqi say it herself, it saves her a lot of things, otherwise she will definitely pull Wei Bao aside to discuss for a while.

"Then let's do it, these ten taels of silver, you take it first, this silver is nothing, my son-in-law is just doing good deeds, and he shouldn't be affected by such a little silver." If your family is in need, send someone to our house. You also heard the location of our mansion just now, right? Wu Xuexia asked.

"Okay, that's good, but I can't ask for these ten taels of silver, it's not a matter of much, if people know that Wei Gongzi once gave me silver, others will see Wei Gongzi and the Xiong family together, and I still know more about the things in the officialdom." My family is now a family of guilt, I don't want Mr. Wei to be implicated by helping my family, I hope Mr. Wei is sympathetic to me. Xiong Zhaoqi insisted.

President Wei didn't want to bother with this little thing, and he also felt that what Xiong Zhaoqi and Wu Xuexia said made sense, so he said: "I didn't think about it so much, and I'm not afraid of this, we meet in Pingshui, I just want to help people, no matter who your father is, who you are, but anyone who asks us to help me will do our best, we will try our best to help!" Since you said so, do as you wish. ”

Although Wei Bao's words were simple, they were a bit arrogant.

Seriously, President Wei is really not so atmospheric in modern times.

He basically doesn't dare to meddle in modern times, if he wants to raise an old woman in modern times, he must have at least a net worth of more than one million to become it, who dares to help people if he has nothing to do?

Also, President Wei has helped people several times in modern times, and basically every time he encountered a white-eyed wolf.

Help someone introduce a job, but as soon as you turn your head, the job is snatched away by the person you introduced, but you can make yourself a jobless vagrant.

President Wei became generous in ancient times, on the one hand, his status is different, and he always takes care of his image, on the other hand, Wei Bao really doesn't think that giving Xiong Zhaoqi a little silver will have something to do with the Xiong family, it shouldn't be so exaggerated.

"Thank you Wei Gongzi for your success, Wei Gongzi is righteous and thin, and the villain is already grateful! If there is a problem, when you ask for it, you will go too. Xiong Zhaoqi said, and deeply scolded President Wei.

"By the way, why do Wang Huazhen's family still embarrass you? Just to vent your anger? Wei Bao asked.

"It's one thing to vent your anger, right? There is also the need to expel our family from Jingshi, and there is no way to run for my father's case. Although they have been sentenced, my father and Wang Huazhen are both capital crimes. But if there is a glimmer of life, we still have to try to save Daddy. If my father can be saved, Wang Huazhen will definitely die. In the same way, if Wang Huazhen can be saved, my father will definitely die. Xiong Zhaoqi explained: 'So, during this time, the Wang family will find someone to come to my family every once in a while to make trouble, that is, to drive us all out of Beijing.'"

President Wei snorted and completely understood: "If they look for someone again, you will tell me that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no royal law?" Have you ever asked the catchers of Shuntianfu for help? ”

Xiong Zhaoqi shook his head: "It's useless, the government is the world of Donglin people, my father has no deep friendship with Donglin people, and Wang Huazhen is an important minister in the Donglin faction." ”

Wei Bao snorted, able to understand the miserable situation of the Xiong family. Secretly, what's so good about being an official? When he was on stage, he was beautiful, and once something happened, it was worse than the lives of ordinary people.

Therefore, the feudal society can only be corrupt to death, and the more greedy you are, the more likely you are to enjoy peace.

Those who enjoy it will not be greedy, and those who have achieved a big position will most likely not end well.

"Then don't leave it here, tell me the address of your house and tell my entourage, and I will probably visit your house when I have time." President Wei said casually. Because he could see that although this Xiong Zhaoqi was poor and was suffering from pain, President Wei estimated that this person would definitely not ask for help from his house. If you really have the heart, you can go to his house and give him some silver flowers by the way, so as not to be a little eye-catching on this street.

If there is nothing, President Wei already feels that there are many pairs of eyes staring at him.

President Wei can be regarded as a person who has received a little bit of agent training, and with the practice of martial arts, he has basic vigilance.

"That's good, if Wei Gongzi can deign to sit at my house, the villain can't ask for it." Xiong Zhaoqi said, and happily told Wei Bao's entourage the address of his home.

said goodbye to Xiong Zhaoqi, Wei Bao, Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia went home.

Wu Sanfu was a little not interested, and when he came out, he just watched the quarrel, and he didn't play what he wanted to play at all.

President Wei saw that Wu Sanfu was not very interested, so he smiled and said, "Brother Sanfu, when the test is over, I will play with you for two days and then go back." ’

Now that the food problem in Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning has been solved, in fact, President Wei has no worries, and the system of the Tiandihui has been basically established.

Wu Sanfu was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is what you said yourself, Xuexia, did you hear it?" After the exam, Xiaobao will accompany me to have a good time in Beijing for two days, and you won't have to follow at that time. ”

"Hey, where are you I not going to follow? Even if I go to the Qinglou, I can also dress up as a man and follow? I just don't bother you, besides, I don't believe that Wei Bao will find a woman in the Qinglou to stay overnight! Wu Xuexia said unhappily.

Wu Sanfu smiled: "Even if Xiaobao doesn't find a woman from the Qinglou to stay overnight, when we drink flower wine, it's not okay to have you a woman by your side?" You're not comfortable yourself, are you? ’

"You just want to take Wei Bao all the time!" Wu Xuexia pouted.

When there are people, Wu Xuexia will call Wei Gongzi and President Wei, but just by being with Wei Bao, or adding her brother, Wu Xuexia will be more casual, and will call her by her name, instead of occasionally calling Wei Bao Xiaobao like Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui will always call Wei Gongzi even in private.

Each of them has a different name for President Wei.

"Why did I take Xiaobao all day long? Do you know what it means to be bad? Little girl's family. Wu Sanfu smiled disapprerovingly, he and Wu Xuexia talked back, it was all commonplace.

Wei Bao didn't speak, thinking about going to see Wei Zhongxian tomorrow.

He had already asked people to contact Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian respectively, but these big names were not easy to see, and if they could meet them the next day after coming to Beijing, they would be very lucky.

As for going to Li Chengne's house to visit, it has not been put on the agenda for the time being, and he is not in a hurry.

Because Li Chengnei couldn't help him in the matter of being admitted to the Jinshi.

"Childe? Why don't you keep quiet? Isn't it fun today? Wu Xuexia asked Wei Bao jokingly.

Wei Bao smiled and said what was on his mind.

"I'm going to visit Grandpa Wei tomorrow?" Wu Sanfu asked.

"Brother Sanfu, be quiet, this is outside, you need to prevent the partition wall from having ears." President Wei reminded vigilantly.

Wu Sanfu snorted and said softly: "Then you go alone, I won't go, I don't know what to say when I see these people, it's aggrieved." ”

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Yes, there are more people who go, and people may not meet each other." Talk to them, they both like to be one-on-one. ”

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow, and I'll wait for you to come out in the carriage." Wu Xuexia smiled: "It's okay, don't think about it so much, go back and rest early." ”

President Wei really went to bed early that day, and it was early the next morning.

Although Wei Bao got up, the people sent to contact Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian went back and forth three or four times, and still did not bring back the news of approving the meeting, which made Wei Bao very anxious, because there were still two days before the start of the exam, and the time was very tight.

Wei Bao is engaged in sales in modern times, but Wei Bao is most tired of selling here, and the time is too rushed!

Every day is like a life of force, extremely hard, often at what point in time to achieve a certain goal, what will happen if it can't be achieved, sometimes the anxious person has a heartache.

Wu Xuexia saw Wei Bao walking around, she could understand his anxiety, and comforted: "Don't think so much, if there is no way, just take the test yourself, maybe you can pass the test." ”

It's good that Wu Xuexia didn't say that, but when she said this, Wei Bao sighed heavily, if she can be admitted to the Jinshi with her ability, it is really a fortune against the sky, and it is a fortune that can win millions for two yuan! Where is it possible?

The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that they are not superstitious about fortune!

If things want to succeed, they mainly depend on personal efforts and planning.

Only small citizens, ordinary people, look forward to one step to the sky all day long, and get something for nothing.

When Wu Xuexia saw Wei Bao's appearance, she knew that Wei Bao attached great importance to the matter of being admitted to the Jinshi, and she didn't know how to persuade him, so she said, "Then you still practice calligraphy, right?" If the time for practicing calligraphy flies quickly, you won't be cranky. ”

Wei Bao suddenly remembered something and asked: "The Song Yingxing who lives in Weijiazhuang, he is also half of my teacher, he is temporarily in Weijiazhuang for the convenience of going to Beijing to take the Jinshi, last time I went back to Weijiazhuang, I heard the people below tell me that Song Yingxing came to the capital a month ago, where does he live?" ”

Wu Xuexia didn't know, so she hurriedly asked Wang Qiuya and asked Wang Qiuya to check.

Song Yingxing belongs to people who have a relationship with President Wei, and such people come and go through the president's secretariat.

Wang Qiuya quickly found out: "What about the Maritime Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, how is it?" Does the president want Song Yingxing to come here? ”

"Forget it, no need, he prepared a lot of articles for me, and everything I could prepare was prepared, and now I don't know what to take when the time comes, it's useless to ask him, the time is too short. I'll find a few articles and memorize them myself. Wei Bao said: "Also, Song Yingxing is a candidate from Jiangxi, and I am a candidate from Liaoxi, so I should not be in the same examination room at that time." We should be in the same examination room with the candidates of Beizhili, right? ”

Wang Qiuya sighed, saluted, and retreated.

"The examination is really strict, even if you find Wei Zhongxian, there may not be much chance, for example, the main exam of the examination will not be revealed until tomorrow." Wu Xuexia said.

"Yes! I heard that the exam questions will not be sent until the beginning of the exam, or they are sent from the palace, not to mention the exam, that is, the examiner is basically cheating. Wei Bao said.

After cleaning up his mood, Wei Bao began to copy the article prepared for him by Song Yingxing.

It's not interesting to talk too much, it just adds to the tension.

He didn't pick and choose, but copied them in order.

Copying the article, the time really passed quickly, and it was lunch time in a blink of an eye.

After lunch, he continued to copy, Wei Bao didn't take a nap today, and then copied until dinner.

During this period, Wu Xuexia persuaded him several times to let Wei Bao rest, but Wei Bao was unwilling.

Wu Sanfu also came to Wei Bao, but Wu Xuexia pushed him away because Wei Bao was working hard, and did not let Wu Sanfu come to Wei Bao's study to disturb him.

Wu Sanfu had no choice but to take the servants out by himself.

In this way, President Wei finally stopped at dinnertime, rubbed his sore temples, and finally felt a little tired, planning to go to bed early after dinner, so that he would not have to worry about things to try.

It was not until this time that the feeling of the college entrance examination came out.

"There's news, the people we sent out just now came back to report that Grandpa Wei has returned home, let you go."

Wei Bao was halfway through the meal, and Wu Xuexia came to report the news.

Wei Bao didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a clean cloth towel on the table, and stood up suddenly: "I'll go over!" ’

Wu Xuexia came out with a brocade box: "The silver tickets are ready, 200,000 taels of silver!" My dad said, you and my brother, this amount is enough! ”

Wei Bao nodded, he was not reluctant to give Wei Zhongxian silver, the wool came out of the sheep, pay today, and he will be able to get it back tomorrow.

Wei Bao was very afraid of associating with Wei Zhongxian, mainly because he was afraid that he would make too deep a peace with the eunuchs, and when the eunuchs fell in the future, he would be affected.

It's not that I'm afraid of the exchange of interests, no matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, for President Wei, he is just a trader, you have what I want in your hands, but if you bid too high, I can also do without it?

"I don't need a brocade box, I carry the silver ticket with me, so I can act when I see the opportunity." Wei Bao Road.

"Do you think 200,000 taels of silver is too expensive?" Wu Xuexia thought that Wei Bao was reluctant: "You don't have to help my second brother with this money, when the time comes, see how much it has spent, go back to Shanhaiguan, and I will ask my father to return it to you." ”

"Fool, I said that if I want to help your second brother out, I will help him out, aren't you ashamed of me when you say this?" Wei Bao was angry with Wu Xuexia.

Wu Xuexia smiled: "You just take out 200,000 taels!" My father's valuation has always been very accurate, and it is not convenient for you to bargain with Wei Zhongxian for this kind of thing. The rules of gift-giving in Daming officialdom have always been to present the gift first, and then talk about what you want, if the other party thinks it is not worth it, they will propose to increase the size. Therefore, you must have an accurate estimate of what you want, and try not to give the other party a chance to increase your weight, otherwise, you will often produce more. For example, if you want to buy a jinshi for two people this time, if you just take out 150,000 taels of silver, Wei Zhongxian feels that it is not enough, let you take another 150,000 taels, and then it will be even more troublesome, isn't it more than 100,000 taels of silver? ”

Wei Bao snorted, felt that what Wu Xuexia said was very reasonable, and learned a little more, and said with a smile: "I really rarely do this kind of thing, so listen to you, or put it in a brocade box, and take it out when you meet." ”

Wu Xuexia was very happy to see that Wei Bao had followed her advice: "Go quickly." ”

Wei Bao rushed to Wei Zhongxian's mansion as soon as possible.

Wei Zhongxian's mansion is not very exaggerated, it is normal for onlookers to watch, it is not deliberately magnificent, and the building occupies an area that is not very exaggerated, that is, the level of the mansion of the first and second grade masters in the court.

When he came back to the capital last time, if Wei Bao was allowed to enter the deep mansion compound of a big man like Wei Zhongxian, he would be inexplicably flustered.

But this time, President Wei didn't feel this way at all.

You must know that his president's mansion in Weijiazhuang is about the same size as the Forbidden City in the capital.

The President's Palace in Seoul, North Korea, is also about the size of the Joseon Royal Palace.

President Wei's insight has already risen to a higher level, he will not be proud, nor will he be inferior, and he has a more peaceful attitude towards these things in Vanity Fair.

Also, Wei Bao is also an official now, and he is still a seven-rank official officially filed by the Ministry of Officials, and in modern terms, President Wei is already a county-level cadre, which is not small.

Qipin, but it is definitely not a sesame official.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside with Qiuya and the princess." Wu Xuexia smiled at Wei Bao.

Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming also came together. Although Princess Zhenming can let them call her Zhenming, everyone will still call her Princess, but it is very simplified, just call her Princess, and will not even call her by name.

Wei Bao glanced at the third girl, nodded, and then got out of the carriage.

The porter of Wei Zhongxian's mansion asked Wei Bao's identity, got a reward of two taels of silver, and hurried in to report.

Wei Zhongxian didn't take advantage of it, but just asked Wei Bao to wait for less than half an hour to see him.

Otherwise, a big man like Wei Zhongxian is equal to one person below ten thousand people, nine thousand years old, just kidding, how many things do you get in a day? Inside the palace, outside the palace, how many people have to find it?

When President Wei first came, he saw dozens of people waiting to see Grandpa Wei.

President Wei was led by the people from Wei Zhongxian's mansion, walked for seven or eight minutes, and arrived at a side hall.

The layout here is very elegant, antique, and there is a guqin, and the side of the guqin is also lit with high-quality incense.

After smelling it, the mood is very comfortable and comfortable.

Wei Bao secretly thought, Wei Zhongxian, this old boy will enjoy it? swept around with his eyes, but he didn't see Wei Zhongxian.

"Wei Gongzi is here for a while, nine thousand years old will come soon." The humanity of Wei Zhongxian's mansion.

"There is labor." Wei Bao hurriedly agreed.

Then the man withdrew.

After the man left, Wei Bao didn't move, who knows if there are eyes staring at him from behind?

Wei Bao respectfully held the gift box and stood in the middle, and did not sit down.

Wei Bao guessed correctly, in fact, Wei Zhongxian was standing behind a screen at this time looking at Wei Bao.

The screen is one-sided reflective, and the inside can see the outside, but the outside can't see the inside, which is equivalent to the ancient single-sided glass.

Wei Bao's good cultivation of waiting alone added a lot of good feelings to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian likes this kind of person, and he doesn't like people who are sneaky, looking around, walking around, and messing around with things.
