Wei Bao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Wu Xuexia had no opinion.

He was worried that Wu Xuexia would be unhappy, and if he could do it, Wei Bao hoped that people all over the world would be happy.

Regarding the major event of suddenly deciding a family affair with Zhang Meiyuan, in fact, Wei Bao did not particularly resist.

Although this method is very ancient, it does not conform to his modern habit of falling in love first and then getting married.

But the eldest lady of the Zhang family is indeed very beautiful, and her appearance is indistinguishable from Wu Xuexia, let alone her family background.

Wei Bao is actually quite satisfied with his father-in-law Zhang Weixian and his brother-in-law Zhang Zhiji.

People can agree that they would rather sacrifice the interests of the British government than hinder his progress in his career.

Where can you find such a person?

It's really a woman's family that can't be found with a lantern.

As for feelings, Wei Bao is also downplayed, as long as the foundation is good, feelings can be cultivated, and he will not suffer.

only felt that I owed Zhao Jinfeng and Wu Xuexia.

I asked Wu Sanfu, but Wu Sanfu has not yet sobered up.

It turned out that Wu Sanfu was also drunk after a while yesterday.

However, it was rare for the British public Zhang Weixian to come to drink, so he drank with Wu Sanfu.

Wu Sanfu originally drank very well, but when he thought that his sister's position as his wife's wife was inexplicably gone, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it, so he didn't drink for long, and he was also drunk.

If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, and those who drink are most afraid of pretending to be in their hearts.

Wei Bao could probably guess Wu Sanfu's thoughts, sighed slightly, and didn't plan to let Wu Sanfu accompany him to the British Mansion, so he went by himself.

Zhang Zhiji was surprised to see Wei Bao's visit, and joked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what's the drop?" After a while, do you think the British Mansion is your own home?"

Wei Bao smiled stubbornly, "Brother made fun of me, dare to ask Grandpa Guo is there?"

"What else is it called? I'm going to call my dad soon. "Zhang Zhiji smiled and said, 'My father is not here, and for your sake, he has already entered the palace to face the saint.'"

Wei Bao nodded, it seems that Zhang Weixian is really an anxious person.

"So, can I see the eldest lady?" Wei Bao asked.

"Well, how to drop? Didn't you still take it yesterday, and today you miss my sister? Zhang Zhiji thought that Wei Bao didn't agree to the marriage proposed by his father for half a day yesterday, and he was still a little unhappy, so he deliberately used words to squeeze Wei Baodao.

Wei Bao smiled bitterly: "Brother, if I did anything wrong yesterday, please Wan Haihan, I will become a family." ”

Wei Bao plans to tell Zhang Meiyuan about marrying his three wives together, hoping that Zhang Meiyuan will be reasonable and understand his own hardships, as long as Zhang Meiyuan agrees, let Zhang Meiyuan tell her family that it will be much better.

In fact, after Wei Bao left yesterday, Zhang Meiyuan was also a little sad, feeling that her daughter of the dignified Guogong Mansion was born with unparalleled beauty and a prominent family background, but she didn't expect Wei Bao to look down on herself, and she was very angry, which greatly hurt her self-esteem.

Today, Zhang Meiyuan also wanted to find a chance to meet Wei Bao and ask to understand, she had told her eldest brother about this just now.

Zhang Zhiji didn't embarrass Wei Bao, "I can let you meet Meiyuan, but let me ask you, why did you play a role yesterday?" Do you think my sister isn't pretty, or is our Guogong Mansion not good? ”

"Big brother, are you burying me, what kind of thing am I, where am I qualified to pick the eldest lady? I really feel that I am ordinary and tight, and I really don't deserve the eldest lady and the Guogong Mansion. Wei Bao said sincerely.

Zhang Zhiji glanced at Wei Bao deeply and accepted Wei Bao's words, "You wait, I'll ask someone to call Meiyuan out, there is a difference between men and women, you can meet in the hall." ”

"Thank you, brother." Wei Bao hurriedly thanked him.

Zhang Meiyuan didn't expect Wei Bao to come to him.

Today, Zhang Meiyuan wore a red robe, which looked even more beautiful and graceful.

Wei Bao's heart couldn't help but move, secretly thinking that Zhang Meiyuan was his wife, he really couldn't say that he was wronged, but that she had a family like hers and such a beauty, and now she would definitely feel aggrieved with a person who was only a fifth-grade official.

"Hello Miss Zhang." Wei Bao said.

Zhang Meiyuan also saluted Wei Bao very politely: "Hello Lord Wei." ”

"You're going to be a family soon, so you two don't have to see each other like this, right?" Zhang Zhiji said with a smile on the side.

It's not that Zhang Zhiji deliberately wanted to be a light bulb to affect the two people to speak.

In Daming, this kind of man and woman who are about to get married are really not suitable to be alone, even if the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion don't chew the root of their tongues, they themselves will feel that it is inappropriate.

Wei Bao didn't say much about it, and went straight to the point and said that he wanted to marry Wu Xuexia and Zhao Jinfeng at the same time.

Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Meiyuan obviously didn't expect Wei Bao to make such a request.

This is a very humiliating request, not to mention a family like the British government, it is an ordinary poor girl's family, if the husband's family proposes to marry three women at a time, it is unacceptable.

"Wei Bao, I said you take yourself too seriously, right? Who do you think you are? My father has taken a fancy to you, it is because you have accumulated virtue in your previous life, and your Wei family's ancestral grave is smoking! Not only are you not grateful, but you also make even more demands, what are you being my sister? You like women, and after marrying my sister, you can take a concubine yourself, why bring it up at this time, what do you mean? Zhang Zhiji was dissatisfied.

Zhang Meiyuan didn't say anything, and her face was covered with frost.

Wei Bao sighed: "I already said yesterday that I am not suitable for Miss Zhang, and I do have a lot of problems. ”

"You've already had sex with these two women?" Zhang Zhiji asked.

Wei Bao shook his head and said honestly: "There is no round house." ”

"What are you doing without a round room? What do you think they have to compare to my sister? Why didn't Wu Sanfu come today? It turns out that you and Wu Sanfu's sister have been together for a long time, why didn't you say it before? And the woman surnamed Zhao is just a daughter of Lizheng, you let my sister marry a daughter of Lizheng, did you let the donkey kick your brain? Or do you want to deliberately humiliate our Zhang family? Zhang Zhiji said angrily.

Wei Bao sighed, secretly thinking that he hadn't proposed his relatives anyway, and there was still room for manoeuvre, so if it didn't work, it was really aggrieved to be an official in Daming, so he simply gave up all this, and went back to Weijiazhuang and Liaonan to do things with peace of mind, and now he has two ways in North Korea, and he can be regarded as stepping out of Daming with one foot! It's not completely out of the blue.

"I know that this kind of request is excessive, but I am not temporary, I never thought that I could marry the daughter of a noble family like Miss Zhang." Wei Bao said to leave: "Excuse me." ”

"You wait." Zhang Meiyuan stopped Wei Bao.

"Sister, what else are you telling him to do?" Zhang Zhiji said angrily: "Is it possible that you really want to agree to such an impertinent request?" Have you ever thought about the face of our Zhang family? Our Zhang family is not an ordinary family. When he Wei Bao did this, he not only humiliated the Zhang family, but even humiliated the entire Ming Dynasty's Youjue family! It can even be said that it humiliated the royal and Ming courts. ”

Zhang Zhiji said this, without exaggeration, this is indeed not a trivial matter, the British government is indeed tied to the Ming Dynasty and all the families with lords to a certain extent, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

"What Master Wei said is not completely wrong, since he knew those two women first and had already made a promise to them, it is indeed very undesirable to keep his previous promise to those two women in order to marry me at this time." Zhang Meiyuan said.

Wei Bao didn't expect Zhang Meiyuan to be so reasonable, he was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, miss!" ”

"Master Wei, I don't care about these, even if I marry at the same time, there is only one wife, and it is always me. I just want to ask you, if you marry me, will you be as good to me in this life as you are to those two women? Zhang Meiyuan asked.

Wei Bao looked at Zhang Meiyuan deeply and nodded solemnly: "If Miss is so magnanimous and I don't cherish it, then I, Wei Bao, am stupid!" I will be good to Miss for the rest of my life and never lose up. ”

Zhang Meiyuan nodded, and then said to Zhang Zhiji: "Brother, I want to promise her." ”

"Beauty! You! Zhang Zhiji was speechless, didn't know what to say, and glared at Wei Bao angrily, "Wei Bao! Don't go too far! After you marry my sister, you will be done with the two women, why do you have to marry at the same time? ”

"Wu Xuexia said the same thing, and she also felt that there was no need to marry at the same time, but the more she said this, the more I felt indebted to her." Wei Bao said: "If the Zhang family doesn't agree to my request, I will never resent the Zhang family!" ”

"If we don't agree to your request, won't you come to the door to propose?" Zhang Zhiji asked coldly.

"Yes, I will not propose marriage, if I lose my faith, what face will I have in the future? I believe that the Zhang family doesn't want a son-in-law who is greedy for profit and will do anything for power, right? Wei Bao said.

Zhang Meiyuan saluted Wei Bao, "Master Wei, you go back first, although I promised you, I can't be my father's master, I should try my best to persuade my father." ”

"Thank you, Miss! If I can marry Miss, I will cherish it in this life and this life, although my life was a little Meng Lang before, but if I marry Miss, I will never know a new woman and add a concubine without Miss's consent in the future. Wei Bao arched.

"No one won't let you marry a concubine! The key is why you have to marry three at a time. Zhang Zhiji snorted, feeling that he couldn't tell Wei Bao clearly.

Wei Bao was also speechless, and he also felt that he couldn't explain it clearly to Zhang Zhiji, didn't his words have been clearly stated?

"Master Wei, you go back first." Zhang Meiyuan relieved Wei Bao.

Wei Bao then took his leave and left.

"Sister, how can you agree to such an impudent request from Wei Bao! This makes us a joke of Daming! Dad won't say yes. After Wei Bao's figure disappeared, Zhang Zhiji angrily scolded Zhang Meiyuan, "You are so used to him before you pass the door, won't he not take our Zhang family in his eyes in the future?" ”

"Brother, don't you even see this? Wei Bao didn't take the Zhang family in his eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a request. He is a person who does great things, if this time our Zhang family does not support him in reforming the tax system and abolishing officers and soldiers in Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, he will still do things according to his own ideas! Zhang Meiyuan said.

"Hmph, in that case, it's a big deal to break up, and it's a big deal to treat it as if you've never known this person, right? It's been 200 years since our British government, and we still have to rely on him to be a small villager in Liaoxi? Zhang Zhiji said coldly.

"Brother, don't say anything like this in the future. I don't think it's a shame, just because there are few such things in the world, we can promise Wei Bao like this, others will say that the British government is magnificent, and if Wei Bao dares to bear me in the future, he will be said by the world. Since those two women have won Wei Bao's favor, no matter whether they are married to my colleague this time, they will be Wei Bao's concubines in the future, so what's the difference? It's nominally a second wife, isn't it still a side room after all? There's never going to be any way to overshadow me. Now in troubled times, the world needs capable people like Wei Bao, and our Zhang family also needs capable people like Wei Bao! Otherwise, Daddy wouldn't have been so anxious to broker my marriage with Wei Bao yesterday. Zhang Meiyuan said.

"Hehe, you think about it." Zhang Zhiji sighed and said, "Am I not afraid of wronging you?" ”

"As long as he treats me well in the future, it won't be a grievance." Zhang Meiyuan said.

"Are you so sure? There are a lot of women around him. Zhang Zhiji looked at his sister distressedly.

"Which capable man can be without a woman around him, I think Wei Bao is a man of words, he just said that he will be good to me in the future, I believe him!" Zhang Meiyuan said firmly: "Moreover, if I don't grow old with Wei Bao for the rest of my life and can restrain Wei Bao's confidence, why should I marry him?" I could have married a man from a prominent family, but with mediocre abilities and personalities. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, marry a man like that, at least you won't be wronged in your life." Zhang Zhiji persuaded.

"No, it's not." Zhang Meiyuan shook her head, "If you have never seen Wei Bao, it is nothing, just marry someone, but now that you know Wei Bao, can you change this fact?" If I marry a mediocre man casually, I will definitely regret it after many years, and when something difficult happens to the British government, I can't help at all, and I will regret it even more. ”

"You're so optimistic about Wei Bao? I just think this guy is very smart and ruthless enough to make money, and I don't think anything else is different. Zhang Zhiji said disapprenousively: "Also, you also underestimate your eldest brother and me, right?" It's been almost 200 years since the British Commonwealth, so what else can make it difficult for our British Commonwealth? What else does the British government have to rely on him? It's that you are married to Wei Bao, and Wei Bao has to rely on our British government everywhere. ”

Zhang Meiyuan shook her head, but did not refute Zhang Zhiji, and did not say anything.

In Zhang Meiyuan's opinion, Wei Bao may have regretted even asking for the British government this time, and he will not ask for their British government in the future.

Wei Bao's heart is arrogant, this is what Zhang Meiyuan values the most.

Zhang Weixian entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, and was immediately summoned by the emperor himself.

Although Wei Zhongxian and Ke Baba were not convenient to listen to the audience, they sent their eyes and ears to learn the content of Zhang Weixian's conversation with the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Zhang Weixian had come to inquire about the equipment he had lent Wei Bao for an army of 10,000, he agreed and said a lot of praise for Wei Bao.

Zhang Weixian was the same, praised Wei Bao, and praised the emperor for finally choosing the right person this time.

This made Zhu Youxiao very happy, he was very afraid of Zhang Weixian, and he and Zhang Weixian usually couldn't talk together, this time it was rare for the two of them to reach a consensus.

Zhang Weixian got the emperor's attitude, but he also secretly reminded the emperor to guard against Wei Bao.

The emperor didn't seem to care at all, "No matter how powerful Wei Bao is, he is also a member of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a civil official, but if he is in charge of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, he can't stir up any storms, compared with the wealth that Wei Bao brought for the palace, such a little danger is really nothing." ”

Zhang Weixian saw that everything that should be said had already been said, so he left the palace, and did not propose that Wei Bao would marry his daughter at that time, and planned to wait for Wei Bao to officially propose marriage.

The fact that Wei Bao wants to marry the British government is still very secret, and only a very few people know about it, and it has not been spread to places outside the Wei Mansion and the Zhang Mansion.

"Wei Bao does have the ability, and he can actually attract Zhang Weixian's support?" Kebaba said to Wei Zhongxian: "If these two people get together, the power is not small, now Wei Bao presided over the text inventory I don't know how many officials and the big families of Beizhili have collapsed, and now this wind has blown to Shandong, Henan, Jiliao, Shanxi and other places, Wei Bao already has a certain amount of power in the Ming officialdom!" If he gains military power again, and has the support of the British Duke Zhang Weixian, Wei Bao can even fight against the Ming court. ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded, he didn't understand how Wei Bao could climb the British Mansion?

"These spies are all rubbish, and our family has sent at least dozens of people to keep an eye on Wei Bao and his yamen, but these people can't get back at all!" Wei Zhongxian said angrily.

Wei Bao only met Zhang Zhiji the day before yesterday, and went to Zhang's Mansion yesterday, and talked about marrying the British Mansion on the spot.

In such a short period of time, the efficiency of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was not very high, where could they be fed back to Wei Zhongxian so quickly.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei are all reported once in a period of time, unless it is a hundred thousand urgent matters, they will rush to inform Wei Zhongxian on the same day.

Wei Bao was just drinking with people, and in the eyes of the spies, it was definitely not a big deal.

"What do you think we should do now? Our family has just promised Wei Bao to let him set up the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong, and then let him go to Liaodong to make meritorious service, and then return to the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong after his meritorious service. His Majesty rewarded him with Shang Fang's sword, Wei Bao has already received the holy decree, I can't change it now, right? Recall Wei Bao back to Jingshi and don't let Wei Bao out? Wei Zhongxian said.

"You shouldn't have promised to give Wei Bao so much in the first place, someone with the ability like Wei Bao wants to use it, but you have to be more careful!" Kebaba Road.

"Madam, at the beginning, you insisted on reusing Wei Bao, but I have been guarding against Wei Bao." Wei Zhongxian said aggrievedly: "You still complain about me, and let you say anything." Besides, didn't Wei Bao save me in front of His Majesty? Otherwise, how could I give him so much? Also, if Wei Bao really completed the reform of the tax system in Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, and the dismissal of officers and soldiers, and also eliminated 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jiliao and Liaodong, it would definitely be good for the Ming Dynasty, and the pressure of the imperial court could cut off at least one-third at once! This kind of thing, if someone can do it, that person must also be Wei Bao. People who have the ability will come out no matter what. ”

"Don't talk about this now, in the future, you should guard against Wei Bao, you have to go to Wei Bao's side to get more people, as well as the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Yamen of Dali Temple, and the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong, all of whom must be placed on your people. The army, in particular, must not allow Wei Bao to easily control a large army. Ke Baba said: "No matter how capable he Wei Bao is, after all, he is a newcomer, he is young, and his reputation cannot convince the public, so there is no big problem." ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "What you said is extremely true, don't worry too much about Wei Bao." ”

"I'm not afraid of Wei Bao, I'm afraid that Wei Bao's wings will harden in the future and he won't listen to you." Kebaba said, "You never seem to have really controlled Wei Bao. ”

"If you want to control a man, it's best to get him a woman!" Wei Zhongxian smiled: "Don't worry, I won't give Wei Bao the position of the governor of coastal defense so easily!" When Wei Bao has made a contribution in Liaodong, I will first recall Wei Bao back to the capital, and then marry Wei Liangqing's daughter to Wei Bao, when the time comes, Wei Bao will be our family's niece and son-in-law, can he still oppose me, my grandfather? This Wei Bao, let him be his godson, he refused, and he would be honest when he became our family's nephew and son-in-law in the future. ”

Kebaba's eyes lit up, "This method is good!" In this way, Wei Bao's every move is under your control, and as a junior, he can't disobey your will, such a good method, why couldn't you think of it earlier? ”

"It's not that I can't think of it, it's that Wei Bao's kid is too young, we don't think it's necessary, don't forget that he's only fifteen years old, and he's just joined the company, who knows that this kid has some skills, and he made so many moves as soon as he entered the company?" Wei Zhongxian smiled: "It's not too late. ”

Kebaba nodded yes.

Indeed, as soon as Wei Bao entered the officialdom, because the starting point was too high, he came up to be the Tanhualang with the title of the gold list, so many people noticed Wei Bao and wanted to recruit Wei Bao as a marriage candidate.

This even includes the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, and there are several princesses of school age to be married to the royal family alone.

Many ministers also took a fancy to Wei Bao, but because Wei Bao was too young and had just joined the ranks, these people just paid attention to Wei Bao, and few people really took that step.

Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba were making wishful thinking, but they didn't know that the British public Zhang Weixian had already taken the lead.

As long as Zhang Weixian returned home and knew Wei Bao's new requirements and agreed, there would be no obstacle to this marriage.
