"Okay, I know everything, you've worked hard, go your own way." Wei Bao replied indifferently.

And they all bowed.

"Childe, if no one really comes this night, we will make people laugh, otherwise, I will find some people to pretend to be doing business, come to congratulate us, and pretend to be merchants from the south." Liu Chunshi proposed.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, Liu Chunshi also learned badly from himself, and he deceived people with tricks, which were all expedient measures, not long-term strategies! After all, it is easy to deceive people, and it feels very bad to his subordinates, the key is not only for two or three henchmen to know, but also for a wide range of people, the subordinates of the entire inn and wine building will know, and it will be known everywhere if it is not spread in the future? Hiring more sedan chairs to pretend to deliver people to the official face is not entirely to deceive people, but just to pretend to be a façade, and talk about the past.

"No, just do what you want, we are new to the city, everyone knows what the situation is, and it is even more embarrassing to be exposed." Wei Bao replied: "As for the entrance of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, I asked you to put a few more sedan chairs, it's different, and I didn't let you pretend to be officials to congratulate, did I?" ”

"What Childe said makes sense, I shouldn't have a bad idea." Liu Chunshi said immediately.

"It's okay, it's all my own people, and there are no outsiders, I don't have to be restrained if I want to say anything." Wei Bao smiled slightly and encouraged Liu Chunshi.

"Yes, Childe." Liu Chunshi relaxed a little, and now he felt more and more pressured in front of his son, and he completed the transformation of Wei Bao as the child next door to his own son in a very short period of time with Luo Sanzi and Fan Datou. This kind of transformation is not deliberate, but the result of continuous transformation from receiving Wei Bao's orders to executing and completing Wei Bao's orders every day.

After Liu Chunshi left, Wei Bao sighed, got up from his seat, walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and felt a little bored, this situation is normal, not that he can change it for a while, if he wants to change, it is to use a lot of silver to smash it, to hug the thighs of which family, the situation can change immediately, but Wei Bao thinks that it is not as good as the current situation, he doesn't like to whitewash the peace, he doesn't like to pretend. He knows very well that the merchants on this street are watching his liveliness, but how much strength he has, he knows in his heart that hugging a big tree for the sake of being happy in front of him and becoming someone else's slave is not conducive to long-term development.

"Childe, Master Li Chengnei is here." At this time, the guy came to report.

Wei Bao Yiqi, he only served wine at night, and Li Chengnei came before noon? In such a hurry to drink? "Please."

Li Chengnei came alone, and when he entered the house, he said: "Brother, there is a little father-in-law in the palace who has come to pass my family into the palace, and let my brother follow." ”

Wei Baoqi said: "Enter the palace? Didn't you just celebrate Concubine Zhuang's birthday yesterday? Was it summoned by the mother? ”

"Yes, I don't know what the matter is, I'm here to tell you, let's go, let's go, the things in the palace can't be delayed, my family has already taken my three sons to the noon gate to wait for us." Li Chengnei said.

Wei Bao didn't dare to slack off, went out of the house with Li Chengnei, explained to the people below, and took a few followers to follow Li Chengnei.

Wei Bao felt that it should not be that Concubine Zhuang suddenly got some illness, and he was not a real relative, if Concubine Zhuang was really critically ill, it would not be his turn to call him to go, and immediately thought of Xi Li's head, and secretly wondered, could it be that Xi Li changed his mind?

Li Chengnei was also speculating along the way about why he suddenly came to summon him again, Wei Bao just responded casually, and was more sure that it should be related to Xi Li, but he couldn't conclude that it was Xi Li, he felt very strange, obviously Xi Li's attitude yesterday was very resolute, he refused to bow to Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Ke, and refused to be his internal aid in the capital, it was impossible to change his mind after a sleep, right?

Isn't it too long since she has been moistened by a man, and when she sees my jade tree in the wind, she wants me to help her water it? Wei Bao had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but get up.

Although it is not good to be able to climb to the reputation, but the qualifications are enough, the fame is enough, and the Xi Li who has brought both the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the future Emperor Chongzhen, Wei Bao is still very willing, the reputation of this thing can be reversed, the rights and wrongs in the palace will not be spread blindly outside, but just a few words in the upper society, the palace infighting, these things are really too pediatric, there is only victory and defeat, there is no right or wrong.

The most important thing is that at the moment, Xi Li's status is still just a selection of servants, if he can form a strategic alliance with Xi Li at this time, it belongs to getting acquainted with Yu Weimo, and he does not reduce his status too much, otherwise he is a flat-headed common man, whether he intersects with the palace or with a little bit of power in the court, he must only be a slave.

This is very, very important, Wei Bao's philosophy of officialdom, or philosophy of life, is not very cliché hugging the thighs, whoever is powerful will follow whomever he does, then he will definitely be able to reap more benefits and achieve faster gains, but that is against his life principles, people live too utilitarian, too constrained, and will lose a lot of happiness.

This is similar to making friends, few people will like to play with people of this status and status, this has nothing to do with filial piety, just about feelings, because the status is too different, most people will definitely prefer a similar age, at least there is no generation gap, similar status, will not think of each other as relying on each other, using each other, so that the relationship will be more casual, relaxed and natural.

If it weren't for a giant who had traveled through a giant and was reborn and knew a little bit of history, Wei Bao wouldn't even want to fight in the capital after discovering that business was not so easy to do and not so simple in Hejian Mansion this time, and he would probably swallow his anger and simply sell the batch of Wu Sanfeng's goods intercepted from outside the customs at a low price.

Out of political considerations, Wei Bao values the acquaintance with Xi Li, he will not be arrogant enough to have many thoughts about the women in the palace, appreciation, like, this is one thing, after all, it is impossible, it is better to spend less feelings. Wei Bao secretly warned himself, especially for the delicate and lovely eighth princess Zhu Huiyuan, Wei Bao didn't dare to have the slightest idea.

In fact, it is not impossible for him and Zhu Huiyuan to improve, as long as he improves his net worth, improves his status through hard work, and then befriends a senior member of the DPRK and China, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to find a horse. However, being a colt means sacrificing the future and not being able to do anything, which Wei Bao has no way to accept.

Wei Bao is not young who has never touched a woman, although in the life of Daming, he is still a boy, but at least psychologically, he has no way to separate his feelings from his career, especially the feelings that will hinder the development of his career.

Wei Bao and Li Chengnei entered the palace, as well as Li Chengne's wife and three sons were also together, this time Wei Bao was not as nervous as yesterday, it was a lot more relaxed and natural, everyone whispered while walking and chatting, and soon arrived near Renshou Palace.

Wang Yongan came over, it seemed that he had been waiting for them here for a long time, which made Wei Bao and Li Chengne's family very strange, Wei Bao also had more confidence in his heart, and implemented the guess just now, this time he was summoned to the palace, and it was indeed related to Xi Li.

"Master Wei, Uncle Guo." Wang Yongan looked like he had just met everyone: "Why did you enter the palace?" ”

Wei Bao and Li Chengnei hurriedly saluted Wang Yongan, Wei Bao guessed that it might be because of the presence of the eunuch in the palace who was responsible for guarding the entry of outsiders into the palace, and Wang Yongan may have wanted to talk to him, so he deliberately pretended to meet by chance.

"It's not clear what happened, my sister summoned me." Li Chengnei replied.

Wang Yongan nodded: "Then don't dare to delay Uncle Guo." If you have a chance, I really want to listen to Wei Gongzi more, Wei Gongzi's eloquence is very good, and what he says is very reasonable, anyone who listens to it a few more times can listen to it. ”

Wei Bao's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Wang has won the award." "Is this sending a message to myself? How do you make it look like an agent joint?

Wang Yongan said that, he retired, continued to take a walk, and walked away.

Li Chengnei smiled at Wei Bao and said, "Grandpa Wang and my sister are very familiar, and they are both old men in the palace of the former emperor. ”

Wei Bao nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to follow Wang Yongan to Renshou Palace.

'I really want to listen to Wei Gongzi more when I have a chance, Wei Gongzi's eloquence is very good, and what he says is very reasonable, anyone who listens to it a few more times can listen to it. Wei Bao secretly thought to himself as he walked, why did Wang Yongan say such a sentence? Secretly: Does Wang Yongan mean to tell me what he said yesterday, and Xi Li has already listened to it? Works? It's just that hesitating, let yourself strike while the iron is hot, and say a few more words to Xi Li?

With such an idea in a daze, Wei Bao couldn't conclude it, but when he arrived at Renshou Palace, seeing that Xi Li was also present, Wei Bao affirmed Wang Yongan's meaning, and nine out of nine were the same as he guessed!

This trip to summon Li Chengnei's family and let Li Chengnei bring Wei Bao into the palace was arranged by Wang Yongan, and at the same time, the chance encounter with Xili in Renshou Palace was also arranged by Wang Yongan!

"The fur I sent yesterday, I like it very much, but this waist, Wang Gonggong said that it seems to be bigger, and the fur of my sister and Hui Yuan is also a little bigger. Dongli Niangniang said the intention of summoning Wei Bao, and said: "By the way, let Cheng Neem's family enter the palace to see him." ”

"It's easy to do, I'll take it back and let people change it." As soon as Wei Bao heard the meaning, he understood everything, such a trivial matter, a group of female workers in the palace, where do they need tailors outside the palace? Yesterday Wei Bao saw that Wang Yongan was very supportive, and agreed with his own intentions, thinking that Xi Li should put down his body and restore relations with Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba, it must be Wang Yongan who wanted to persuade Xi Li again.

But he and Xi Li are only one-sided first-time acquaintances, it seems that Xi Li is not very good at seeing him, and the time to enter the palace is very hasty, what can an outsider persuade him to do at such a time? Do you have such good eloquence?

Wei Bao never thinks that there is much difference in eloquence between people, people who can talk may not necessarily be to the point, people who are not good at words may not be able to touch the hearts of others, the key is to think through all aspects of things, and consider the problem from the perspective of the other party, then everyone's eloquence is actually quite quite.

Wei Bao's heart fluttered, and he figured out why Wang Yongan wanted to give himself a chance to persuade Xi Li again, just because he was a man, what advantages could men and women have in communicating? The advantages of the relationship between men and women.

Wei Bao, who figured out this section, couldn't help but sweat, he likes Xi Li, but this is the palace inside, in front of everyone, he can't talk nonsense, how to make a mature and arrogant woman like Xi Li change her mind in a very short time?

After Dong Li finished talking to Wei Bao, he talked to Li Chengnei's three sons and asked Li Chengnei about what he said yesterday about letting his three sons go to school.

Wei Bao stood aside, quietly looking for an opportunity, a few eunuchs who came to Renshou Palace with him had been monitoring not far away, it was inconvenient for him to take the initiative to talk to Xi Li, right?

Xi Li sat aside and listened to Dong Li, so he only glanced at Wei Bao when he came in, and he had no intention of talking to Wei Bao at all, but Zhu Huiyuan, who was beside Xi Li, greeted Wei Bao happily, but due to etiquette, the royal princess was not good at talking too much to Wei Bao.

Only then did he take a look at Xi Li, the noble demeanor, beautiful appearance, and mature charm, and shattered Wei Bao's idea of not having much affection for Xi Li just now, after all, people are emotional animals, and the most difficult thing to plan is also this feeling, not if you think about it, you can not be emotional, he suddenly realized that Xi Li is really his own dish, what should I do?

Xi Li glanced at Wei Bao, the eyes of the two of them were on the same page, in fact, they had a bottom in each other's hearts, and between men and women, many times they didn't need to speak, they could understand whether the other party was interested or not.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Yongan suddenly appeared again, walked from the courtyard to the gate of the main hall of Renshou Palace, and chatted with several eunuchs who were in charge of guarding and monitoring.

Wei Bao heard that Dong Li was talking to Li Chengne's family about the enrollment of his three sons, and he couldn't help but have an idea, he couldn't say anything to Xi Li directly, he could pass the word around the corner, wasn't Wang Yongan doing that very well just now? smiled slightly and said: "Concubine Zhuang, please rest assured, the three nephews are very smart, and the matter of going to school will go well." ”

"There's nothing to go to school, but I'm afraid that they have been delayed all these years, and it seems a little late to go to school now." Dong Li sighed and said: "It's all because I, the aunt, didn't do a good job, let my brother's family suffer, don't ask a few of them to be able to get into the jinshi, and in the future, they can be named on the gold list, only ask for a show of talent and fame, and the road in the future can be wider." I hope the three of them can work hard. ”

The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is extremely strict, and the chance of wanting to go through the back door is very small, especially for a decent person like Dong Li, he will not think of a messy way, but he just pins his hopes on Li Chengne's three sons to work themselves.

"What if they can't finish the idea of being a talent in the exam in ten or twenty years?" Wei Bao smiled slightly and said something sceasing.

Li Chengnei and Li Chengnei's wife looked at Wei Bao curiously, they were already familiar with Wei Bao, Wei Bao usually didn't come against people, even if he had something to say, he would say it around the bush.

Dong Li was slightly stunned, huh? snorted.

"After all, there are many people who can't pass the Xiucai exam in the Ming Dynasty for ten or twenty years, and among these people, there are many hard-working people." Wei Bao continued.

"Then you just have to work hard, as long as you grind the deep iron pestle into a needle." Dong Li is a gentle and generous person who doesn't like to argue with others, but he is very concerned about the affairs of his three nephews, and he can see that Wei Bao seems to have some 'negative' thoughts, for fear that Wei Bao will pass on to his three nephews and bring the three nephews to ruin.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and continued: "As long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, this is good, but I am afraid that it is not completely true, throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have been delayed by this proverb." There is a rich man over there, and the rich man has a son who is seven or eight years old. One day, while playing at home, the son suddenly burst into tears. A group of subordinates hurriedly went to check, only to find that the child's hand was stuck in a large vase with a narrow mouth and could not be taken out. Everyone was very anxious, and hurried to see Master Tongbing, and the rich man was also very anxious. ”

Everyone present was very curious, Wei Bao suddenly told the story?

Several eunuchs who were in charge of guarding visitors from outside the palace were secretly amused, and said softly: "This person is interesting and can tell stories." ”

Wang Yongan was secretly happy in his heart, although he didn't know what Wei Bao was going to say, but seeing that Wei Bao thought of saying what he wanted to express to Xi Li Niangniang in this way, it showed that Wei Bao understood his thoughts and was a very clever person, so his 'chance encounter' today was not arranged in vain.

"It's fun, it's fun, hurry up, the boy's hand is stuck in the vase and can't be taken out, what's wrong with the rich man?" Zhu Huiyuan rarely heard stories from others, and suddenly urged with great interest.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and continued: "The rich man is also very anxious, circling around his son and the vase, and the sweat is scared out. The vase was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so when the son's hand reached in, he couldn't take it out. The rich man had people use different methods, anointing oil and pulling hard, but he could not pull his son's hand out of the vase, until late at night, his son's hand was still in the vase and could not be taken out, so he held the vase and slept all night. Until the next day, the rich man still did not come up with a good solution, and the vase was extremely expensive, an antique that had lasted for more than five generations, and was worth a fortune. With nothing to do, the rich man had to make a painful decision, which was to break the vase. But the rich man was a little hesitant, because this was not an ordinary vase, but a priceless antique. However, this is the only way for my son's hand to be pulled out! The vase was smashed! The son's hand came out of the vase unharmed, unharmed. But when the rich man saw his son's hands clenched together and couldn't let go, he couldn't help but be anxious, and he didn't know why? It turned out that his son was holding a privately hidden gold lump. Although the gold pimple is valuable, it is not worth one thousandth of the value of the vase, and his son's gold pimple strayed into the vase, and he made his hand stuck in the mouth of the vase in order to get this gold pimple. The son's hand couldn't reach out, in fact, not because the mouth of the vase was too narrow. If he can reach in, he will be able to pull it out, but the problem is because he won't let go. ”

After Wei Bao finished speaking, Zhu Huiyuan immediately sighed, "This story is so good, is it true?" This son is seven or eight years old, is he still so stupid? ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, the focus of your listening story is stupid enough, you didn't talk, and secretly went to see Xi Li, Xi Li frowned slightly, and was also looking at Wei Bao.

The eyes of the two people touched, and they couldn't help but beat their hearts together.

Wei Bao's gaze was clear and bright, lacquered like dots of ink, as if he could speak.

Xi Li's beautiful eyes are like a pool of autumn water, the charm of a woman who has been baptized by the years, longing to find a man, and no longer has the opportunity to find a man.

Xi Li's beautiful face was smeared with a touch of crimson, and her heart jumped wildly, she hadn't felt this kind of heartbeat for a long time, and she could naturally understand that Wei Bao was talking about Li Chengne's three sons, and she was continuing to talk to herself about the topic that she hadn't finished in a hurry yesterday, Wei Bao wanted to find herself as a backer, and wanted to give up the idea of becoming the imperial concubine or even the queen mother, and repair the relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Bao secretly thought, this is eight feet away, it can make people's hearts beat so much, if Xi Li is held in his arms at this time, it will not make the heart unable to stand the load and stop, right? This woman is really exciting.

The movements of the two people seemed to have a tacit understanding, and after glancing at each other, they invariably deflected their eyes and no longer looked at each other.

Among the people present, after listening to Wei Bao's story, they all had an understanding, and they all thought that Wei Bao was telling a story to persuade Dong Li not to put too much pressure and psychological burden on Li Chengne's three sons, but Xi Li and Wang Yongan understood.

Wang Yongan shouted three times in his heart: Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Although the story is simple, the truth is clear.

When it is time to let go of the obsession of pursuit, you must decisively let go, life is not just one thing, don't ruin the whole life because of the gains and losses of one step, this story has been stored in Wei Bao's heart for a long time, it is a story that he saw in the magazine when he squatted and defecated, and it is also a small story that he often talks about to comfort himself when he regrets, so he can think of it immediately.

Xi Li was deeply touched! The golden bump in the child's palm is like her obsession with wanting to be the queen and the queen mother, the opportunity has disappeared, and she is still blindly overwhelmed. The sacrifice made to achieve a certain goal in the first place once felt so natural now.

But now, Xi Li suddenly realized how ridiculous his original self was. The so-called giving everything is just a dream, and I am overwhelmed every day, constantly seeking relief and help. But he refused to let go, always imposing his obsession on the golden bump in the palm of his hand, and let the vase cut his hand painfully, and he didn't want to let go of it.

"Little brother, it turns out that you are so good at telling stories, is there anything else? One more one, right? What's the name of the rich man? What's that stupid boy's name? Zhu Huiyuan asked curiously.

Wei Bao sweated, and said in his heart that you look like a beautiful girl who looks very smart and clever, stupid and cute enough.

The 13-year-old girls outside the palace are even married, but Zhu Huiyuan, who grew up in the palace and does not care about the world, is still in the stage of innocent character.

"I dreamed of this thing when I was dreaming, and I forgot the names of the rich man and his son." Wei Bao smiled slightly and said casually.

Zhu Huiyuan covered her mouth and smiled, "Little brother is lying, right?" Tell me another story, shall we? ”

"Uncle, will you tell me another story? Uncle Zhen can tell stories. Li Leshan also happily followed Wei Bao.

Wei Bao had to tell Zhu Huiyuan a little story about Zheng Ren's buying shoes.

Once upon a time, there was a Zheng Guoren who wanted to buy a new pair of shoes, so he measured the size of his feet in advance, and then put the measured size on his seat.

Zheng Guoren arrived at the market, but forgot to bring his size.

Zheng Guoren picked out his shoes before saying, "I forgot to bring my size." So he went home and got his size. By the time he returned to the bazaar, the bazaar had already dispersed, and no shoes were ever bought.

Someone asked, "Why don't you try on shoes with your own feet?" ”

He replied, "I'd rather trust my measurements than my feet." ”

This story is more simple and easy to understand, Zhu Huiyuan listened to it, and clapped happily: "Say one more, one more thing, this person is even more stupid than the child just now." I don't know how to try on shoes with my feet, and I have to go home and get the size, haha. ”

Wei Bao didn't speak, but Xi Li was laughed angrily by Zhu Huiyuan, "Huiyuan, don't mess around, it's been long enough, say goodbye to Concubine Zhuang, we should go back to the palace." ”

Zhu Huiyuan pouted, wanting to listen to the story again, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother, so she had to say oh and salute Dongli Niangniang: "Concubine Zhuang, Huiyuan retires." ”

"Listening to your mother's words, aren't you happy to hear two stories? In the future, I will ask Xiaobao to write a few stories and put them here, don't be upset. After Dong Li smiled and agreed to Zhu Huiyuan, he looked at Xi Li and Wei Bao again.

Wei Bao smiled when he saw Dong Li, and when he looked at Dong Li, he knew that Dong Li seemed to understand what he was going to say, and understood that he was talking to Xi Li in a corner, and couldn't help blushing, and secretly said that he was talking too much?

The palace is full of the eyes and ears of Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Ke, I wonder if they will be too attentive after listening to these two stories? Teasing the woman of the first emperor, this is enough to kill the whole clan 10,000 times, right? Thinking of this, Wei Bao couldn't help but bow his head.

When Xi Li took Zhu Huiyuan away, Wei Bao didn't dare to take a look, and Xi Li didn't say anything to Wei Bao again, but when he passed by Wei Bao's side, he swept Wei Bao's handsome face with his beautiful eyes.

Wei Bao smelled the fragrance of pear blossoms, knowing that it was coming from Xi Li, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Secretly experience the artistic conception of lovesickness? Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick, long-term lovesickness, long-term memory, and short-term lovesickness are infinite.

Xi Li seemed to notice Wei Bao's extremely subtle deep breathing action, which was difficult for others to find, and her pink face turned red again, as if something was passing through her plump and moving chest, and her heart moved, but she didn't hesitate to step forward and walked out of Renshou Palace quickly.

After Xi Li left, Li Chengne's family chatted with Dong Li a few more words, and then left with three furs. declined Concubine Li Zhuang's kindness to leave them for lunch.

Mainly because of Wei Bao, an 'outsider', in order to avoid suspicion, Concubine Li Zhuang did not insist.

"What else do you think? It turned out that he wanted us to change the size of the fur waist. Li Chengnei laughed softly: "This little thing, where do you want so many of us to enter the palace?" ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, understanding that this was a trick used by Wang Yongan, if it was just him and Li Chengnei two big men entering the palace, without Li Chengnei's wife and three sons as foils, wouldn't the intention be too obvious? It's just that Wei Bao won't say these words to Li Chengnei.

"I'm not tired, maybe Concubine Zhuang wants to see her three nephews again." Wei Bao laughed.

"Well, my sister, she just loves my three sons too much." Li Chengnei felt that if it wasn't for her own family, her sister would not agree to hold this birthday banquet, so she turned to her three sons and said, "After the three of you go to school, you must study hard, and you can't let your mother down, do you hear?" ”

Li Leshan, Li Leshui and Li Letu hurriedly sighed, but they didn't take it too seriously, children always have a hard time understanding the intentions of adults, and they only feel affected, unless they are very few gifted children, or extremely precocious children.

Before leaving the palace, Wei Bao looked back at the majestic noon gate, and suddenly felt that his intestines were turning, although he didn't say anything directly to Xi Li, his thoughts of wanting to push Xi Li down and cause harm suddenly became clear.

It's rare for him to have such a strong idea of wanting to enter a woman's body for a woman, this is not watching a movie, he really has a spiritual communication with a woman, and I don't know if Xi Li listened to it? Secretly warned yourself not to be obsessed, I haven't said a few words in total, and I don't know the other party's personality, don't be like a nymphomaniac, okay? But he had no way not to think about Xi Li, and even made up many perfect character traits for Xi Li Brain, and forcibly whitewashed the bad reputation of Xi Li in his heart.

Wei Bao has never told people the story of the golden pimple, and he has read some books in modern times, and he has no chance to tell others, otherwise others will have to think that he is poor and sour.

In fact, many times, everyone endures the pain and attachment to something, but it is like a golden bump, which cannot carry obsession and heartache, let alone take away the good times and the opportunity to meet true love. As long as you are willing to let it go, you don't have to pay much price, and the vase will not be broken to pieces.

Breaking an antique vase for the sake of gold pimples, even if you don't know about it at the time, you won't regret it. As I get older, I will slowly understand the value of the vase and understand the ignorance of the past.

Because they wanted to go back to Wei Bao's restaurant and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce to attend the banquet, Wei Bao and Li Chengnei's family went to Shiwangfu Street on the same road.

"It's all time for dinner, why don't you eat some here?" Wei Bao refused to walk when he left the palace, and was still carried by Sui Hu, and said to Li Chengnei.

Li Chengnei smiled: "It's better to go to our own restaurant, right?" "He is still poor in mind, and he thinks he can save some money by eating at home.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Okay, let's go to our own restaurant." ”

"Yes, brother's restaurant, when did it become your family's restaurant?" Li Chengnei's wife complained.

"Isn't my brother's mine? What's the difference? Besides, I don't go every day. Li Chengnei glared at his wife, in front of outsiders, he still wanted to save face, and said a few words at home, saying that he was soft in casual clothes, and that was at home.

Li Chengnei's wife stopped talking.

"What's there about going every day, that's what I can't ask for." Wei Bao smiled and asked Li Chengnei's three sons, "Do you go to Tiandilou every day to eat?" ”

"Okay, my stomach was round yesterday." Li Chengnei's youngest son, Li Letu, clapped his hands and laughed. The other two sons also laughed in agreement.

Li Chengnei's wife smiled: "Xiaobao, they are all going to be spoiled by you, it's a pity that you have to go back to Guanwai, otherwise you are so good at teaching children, I really hope to let the three children stay with you." ”

"Sister-in-law, I can't teach people, I can't even teach myself, besides, I have to go to school when I go back, are you willing to let the three of them go with me?" Wei Bao laughed.

"Reluctant? If there is anything reluctant, you must not suffer a loss, it must be better than eating and living at home. Li Chengnei's wife said wrongly, so she was reluctant to part with her children.

Li Chengnei said: "Brother is a person who does great things, how can he help you discipline your children all day long?" Otherwise, what do you want my dad to do? ”

Li Chengnei's wife didn't want to talk back to Li Chengnei in front of outsiders, and wanted to save face for him, so she didn't fight back, but she slandered in her heart: Follow you? followed you to such an age, the three sons did not go to school, except for the eldest son who knew a few words, the other two sons were illiterate, and they still followed you?

Wei Bao knew that Li Chengnei's wife just said casually, if they really want their son to follow him, he is still afraid of taking risks, his life safety is not guaranteed many times, wait until your baby son gets out of trouble, who can afford this?

Everyone talked about it, endured hunger, and returned to Tiandilou to order a table of delicious food.

In the afternoon, Wei Bao talked with Li Chengnei and had fun with Li Chengnei's three sons for a while.

It was almost dusk, close to dinner, and there was not a single guest there, which couldn't help but make Wei Bao worried.

Originally, Wei Bao thought that he had sent so many invitations out, and the people on the official face refused to come, and these big merchants who did business in Beijing had to come to two or three adults, right? Even the relatives of the emperor and the ladies of the dignitaries are vying to buy things in their stores, what are you still doing? If you don't deal with me, my business won't be able to continue?

"Childe, there really wasn't anyone coming." Liu Chunshi said softly worriedly.

Wei Bao hummed and replied softly, "Isn't it too early?" Wait! ”

Liu Chunshi snorted, and glanced at Fan's head, who was also behind Wei Bao, and didn't dare to be optimistic, where is it too early? It's almost time to start the feast, and there is no one to visit, what should I do?
