"The students are here!" Wei Bao hurriedly agreed, secretly thinking that you hurriedly agreed, right? What a happy thing? What are you procrastinating? You became my teacher, and I gave you a lot of silver to make you a slave!

"Yuan Chonghuan, he's really talented! Shall I have someone call him so that you can see him? Listen to me tell you......" Sun Chengzong said.

While Wei Bao was sweating, he knelt down for Sun Chengzong with a plop, and slammed his head on the ground: "Teacher! ”

Sun Chengzong was slightly startled, and hurriedly said, "Gongzi Wei, what are you doing?" Get up. ”

"If Elder Sun doesn't agree, the student won't get up, you just said that you want to send me a letter, and you have already expressed your intention to accept me as a disciple, but now you are transferring me to others. If students miss this opportunity, they will regret it for the rest of their lives. As Wei Bao spoke, he began to choke up and cry, revealing his true feelings.

It's not that Wei Bao's acting skills are deep, or that he feels that he really admires Sun Chengzong like a god.

Instead, Wei Bao remembered how many good opportunities had slipped through his fingertips in the modern past.

Not for anything else, every time because I don't cherish it! Always hold a kind of indifferent psychology, go with the flow, have no heart and lungs, let yourself drift and fall, and indulge in the lowest level of society.

In this life, Wei Bao is determined to live a different life!

Moreover, to be a student of Sun Chengzong, it does not violate Wei Bao's original intention, and he does not lose his self-esteem, which is different from wanting to rely on women to develop!

At this time, Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia were still waiting for him in Jiang Yingzhao's signing room, but he didn't let them come, Wei Bao thought they were friends, and didn't think that he had deceived Wu Xuexia's feelings and asked Wu Xuexia to help him.

If he used any means to deceive women and let Wu Xuexia help him, he would lose his personality and violate Wei Bao's heart.

"Maybe I'm too anxious, so let's do it, I won't force you to be Yuan Chonghuan's disciple, I have only just met you, and I can't accept you as a disciple at once, let's talk about it in a few days, how about it?" Sun Chengzong changed his perspective and discussed with Wei Bao.

Wei Bao is not a person who messes around, not to mention such a big thing as accepting disciples, applying for a job in modern times, isn't there also a written test and interview process? Besides, if Tiandi recruits a peripheral temporary worker, it will take a year to investigate. Sun Chengzong's request is very reasonable.

Although Sun Chengzong's personality was a little unpleasant, Wei Bao quickly accepted the other party's words.

Wei Bao immediately stood up: "Please give me a chance, Master Sun!" After a period of contact, I believe that the boss will know something about me, and I have never done anything bad. Anyway, if the boss doesn't accept me as a student, I won't recognize other teachers in officialdom anymore. ”

Sun Chengzong listened to Wei Bao's expression of his heart, and secretly praised with relief, but did not say anything, but got up, spread a piece of snow-white rice paper on the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote down a word: Shouzhong, Shouyi, Shouren, Cuncheng, Cultivating Qi, Gewu, Cultivation, Meditation, Meditation, Meditation, Meditation, Cultivation, Destiny.

12 words, 24 big characters, vigorous and powerful.

Wei Bao admired Sun Chengzong's words after reading it, Sun Chengzong's people had some ink, and some did not have the domineering spirit that an imperial commander should have, with the characteristics of obvious civilian-bureaucratic bosses.

But Sun Chengzong's words are still very good, it is Wei Bao's favorite style, vigorous and powerful, and elegant, within the rules, but you can see that there is a heart beyond the rules. Seeing words is like seeing people, and words are a direct display of a person's heart.

Wei Bao secretly thought, maybe Sun Chengzong was not as he understood, not as he appeared, but for his thoughts, he gave up a lot of things. Also, under this system, how difficult it is for people who want to do something, Wei Bao still has a number.

"This painting is given to you, for the time being, we will agree on a month, and after a month, I will pay you again, okay?" Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

"These twenty-four words are the tricks of Confucian practice, your understanding is high, the old man is not so perceptive at your age, I hope you treat your talent well." Sun Chengzong's expectation of Wei Baodao. A kind and knowledgeable elder demeanor.

Wei Bao solemnly put the calligraphy and painting back on the table, and only when the ink was dry could he roll it up before he could take it away, and said to Sun Chengzong: "Boss, I will come back tomorrow to retrieve this calligraphy, do it first, and I will let people make a good tube tomorrow." A month later, the old man gave me the money, and I had it framed and hung at home. ”

Sun Chengzong agreed.

Wei Bao originally wanted to invite Sun Chengzong to dinner, but after thinking about it, he said that he would take 240,000 taels of silver and send it to the governor's mansion today, and then leave.

However, Sun Chengzong took the initiative to say: "Wei Gongzi has made such a great effort for the people of Liaodong in Liaoxi, for the border army in Liaodong, and for the imperial court, the old man should invite Wei Gongzi to have a light meal, it is the meal at this time, I don't know if Wei Gongzi is willing to eat a coarse tea and light meal with the old man?" ”

Wei Bao was pleasantly surprised: "Yes!" This is the old man lifting me up as a village boy, why would I not want to? I still have a few friends waiting for me, I'm going to say hi to them, okay? ”

"Let them come along!" Sun Chengzong smiled generously: "The old man hasn't eaten with a young descendant like you for many years, hehe." ”

Wei Bao smiled and agreed.

"Why has it been so long? I don't know what the two are talking about? Wu Sanfu was a little anxious, and whispered to Wu Xuexia beside him.

Wu Xuexia was also a little anxious, when it came to dinner, she didn't go home for a long time, afraid that her mother would find out that she had left the house and would show her stuffing, "Maybe she was left to eat by the Inspector, right?" Otherwise, let's go back first and come back after dinner. ”

"Will Master Overseer stay with Wei Bao for dinner? Impossible, right? Wu Sanfu didn't believe it: "Even if Wei Bao donated the silver, the Inspector wouldn't be so polite, right?" Not to mention Wei Bao, even our father can't eat with Master Overseer, right? ”

While the two were talking, Wei Bao returned.

"Xiaobao, you're back." When Wu Sanfu saw Wei Bao, he said happily: "We are discussing whether to go back to eat first and then come." ”

"Don't go back, I told the Overseer, he wants to invite us to dinner." Wei Bao Road.

Wang Qiuya, Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu, who had never spoken on the side, snorted at the same time.

The Overseer invited you, and invited us to dinner together?

All three couldn't believe it was true.

Wei Bao smiled: "Don't think about it, don't you just follow what the Inspector said?" I originally said to say hello to you so that you don't have to wait for me, but who knew that the overseer said to let me come with my friends. ”

Wu Sanfu looked at Wu Xuexia in embarrassment.

Wu Xuexia was very decisive, "Since the Inspector is invited, let's go, what are you afraid of eating?" ”

Wu Sanfu smiled Buddha-naturedly: "Also, our father hasn't eaten with Inspector Sun yet, but the two of us opened this example first." Eat it, this time it's a little bit of a treasure, it seems that it's still good to use silver. If you want me to say, the best place to spend silver in this world, the most expensive place, the most able to exchange silver for face is Xiaobao. ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, did not answer, and took the lead towards Sun Chengzong's meeting hall, Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia and Wang Qiuya followed behind Wei Bao in turn.

Because Wu Xuexia and Wang Qiuya are both women dressed as men, they can be regarded as Wei Bao's friends.

Wei Bao introduced Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia and Wang Qiuya to Sun Chengzong, using their real names, and he believed that Sun Chengzong could see that Wang Qiuya and Wu Xuexia were disguised as men, so he didn't want to hide it. However, Wei Bao did not specifically introduce Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia as the daughters and sons of the Wu family.

Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, it was true that Wang Qiuya and Wu Xuexia were women, but in these years, the children of rich families, and even some officials in the officialdom, have become quirky, male and female pets, these are not unusual, and the maids with women dressed as men around the children of rich families are even more unusual.

The place to eat is in a small side hall next to the council chamber.

The meal was very restrained, and Sun Chengzong barely spoke, only occasionally asking Wei Bao and them to eat more, not to be polite.

Sun Chengzong, Wei Bao, Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya, a total of five people, only three dishes, this is still Sun Chengzong just deliberately asked people to add two dishes, otherwise Sun Chengzong only eats one dish on weekdays.

Two meat and one vegetable, the taste is not too bad, and it is not low-grade, but for the identity of Sun Chengzong, a super master, some do not correspond. If you have power, you have money, if Sun Chengzong is black-hearted to make money, not to mention that he can be the same as the Wu family's ancestral family, at least it is not much worse, and he will not live this kind of life.

Wei Bao secretly wondered that Sun Chengzong was really not a duplicitous, Confucian cultivator, but actually did another set of people. Sun Chengzong is a person who really adheres to the path of self-cultivation.

This kind of person, whether rich or poor, can keep his heart and never forget his original intention, which is worth learning from himself.

Wei Bao also has his own standard of living, and he does not particularly pursue luxury, but the specifications of Wei Bao's weekday meal are 20 times the level of Sun Chengzong's meal.

Wu Sanfu, Wu Xuexia and Wang Qiuya also saw that Sun Chengzong was not deliberately disguised, and they all admired Sun Chengzong's private life.

Sun Chengzong quickly finished eating, and said to a few people with a smile: "Coarse tea and light rice, how many people are not used to it, right?" You're welcome, just be casual. ”

"Master, this is already good." Wu Sanfu hurriedly smiled.

Wei Bao also said politely.

Sun Chengzong wiped his mouth, got up and said, "You use it slowly." ”

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was leaving, several people hurriedly got up to see each other off.

Sun Chengzong made a gesture for them to leave him alone and continue to eat, and walked away.

Wu Sanfu exhaled and said to Wei Bao: "This is easy!" I really didn't expect that I actually had dinner with the Overseer! ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Brother Sanfu, you also have times when you are nervous?" ”

"Master Overseer, where can you not be nervous? Out of the Jingshi, Jiliao area, whoever you want to kill and kill whom, you don't need to ask for the holy decree, the superintendent has Shangfang Sword. Wu Sanfu stuck out his tongue.

Wei Bao smiled: "We haven't committed any crimes, are we still afraid of this?" Besides, the Inspector is not a ......, where can he kill people indiscriminately? ”

Wei Bao originally wanted to say that Master Inspector was not crazy, but he felt that it would be taboo to say so, especially since this was the Governor's Mansion, so he forcibly stopped the conversation.

"It doesn't seem like anything to eat with the Inspector, the Inspector is very kind, and it's really the same as rumored." Wu Xuexia has always seemed very relaxed.

"Yes, I was a little scared at first, but after a while I won't be afraid, if the Inspector doesn't wear a first-class official uniform, there seems to be no difference from ordinary people." Wang Qiuya also agreed.

"That's the realm of people! The bigger the tiger, the more amiable. Wu Sanfu said: "My father often said that people who have really reached the advanced realm have returned to their roots, and they are no different from ordinary people in the market, but they are a hundred times stronger than those individuals who usually look fierce and vicious." ”

"Brother Sanfu is right." Wei Bao agreed: "Let's finish eating and leave!" ”

Wu Sanfu put down the dishes and chopsticks: "I'm already fine, I'll eat it later!" It's too plain and not very used to it. ”

Wang Qiuya and Wu Xuexia also put down the dishes and chopsticks, although Sun Chengzong is gone, but this is the governor's mansion after all, and the environment itself can give people a kind of oppression, it is very difficult to really want to be completely relaxed in this kind of place, especially this dish, it can't teach people to be nostalgic.

A few people were just about to leave when they heard the sound of conversation coming from the council room next to them.

Wei Bao wiped his mouth and stood aside to peek.

Wu Sanfu also came to take a look, and when he saw it, he was taken aback: "I didn't expect Governor Mao of Dongjiang to come too?" ”

Wei Bao was shocked, Mao Wenlong is here? Hurry up to see it, I don't know which one is Mao Wenlong, intuitively, a person who looks more Confucian than Wu Xiang, but wears the silver helmet and silver armor of a military general, and is dressed as a military general. Wei Bao thought it was Mao Wenlong. After asking Wu Sanfu, Wu Sanfu really said that the person was Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong rarely comes to Shanhaiguan, and he has to come at least once or twice a year, mainly to discuss with officials from Liaodong in western Liaoning, Wu Sanfu has seen it once, so he knows it.

Wei Bao secretly thought that these people were also very hard, not long after they left, they all came back, is it enough to eat a meal with such a little effort? It's not easy to be a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty.

Mao Wenlong's status is already very high, sitting next to Sun Chengzong, but he has never spoken, he is listening to others, and there is no expression on his face, at first glance, he is a person who is very deep in the city.

"My lord, I heard that a wealthy family in Liaoxi donated 240,000 taels of silver, and now our military salary in Liaodong is not a problem, right? When to send troops to Quang Ninh? Zu Dashou asked.

"The 240,000 taels of silver are eyebrows, but the details of the protection of the Jiannu military horses around Guangning have not yet been discovered, so it is not appropriate to act rashly! Besides, your Jinzhou city has not yet been built strongly, if you rashly send troops, you will not succeed in capturing Guangning, but you may lose the existing city. Sun Chengzong said: "At present, the war in the Dongjiang area is tight, and even Governor Mao has personally come to ask for military salaries, I am considering whether to allocate it to them first!" ”

When Zu Dashou heard Sun Chengzong say this, he immediately stood up and said with some excitement: "Master Inspector, you have already said before that you have a clear strategy for entering Jiannu!" Haven't we discussed it several times? And you also asked the imperial court for military salaries, but the military salaries were not settled before, so you couldn't send troops! Now that the military salary has been settled, why did you start talking about Jinzhou City again? Moreover, Governor Mao is good at using troops, and Jiannu did not besiege the Dongjiang River once or twice, which time did Governor Mao not deal with it calmly? This time, we are just attacking from east to west, taking advantage of Jiannu's new defeat in Jinzhou, to fight a beautiful battle. There is absolutely no reason to allocate Liaodong's military salary to the Dongjiang Army, right? ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he hesitated and did not speak.

Mao Wenlong, who had never opened his mouth, spoke: "General Zu, it seems inappropriate for you to say that, right?" Since it was donated by a wealthy family, it was not counted as the silver allocated by the imperial court, how could it be said that it was the military salary of Liaodong? Besides, everyone belongs to the command of the Governor, and they are all the army of the Ming Dynasty, so how did they allocate the salary of the Liaodong Army to the Dongjiang Army? In addition, the Governor said that the city of Jinzhou is not strong enough, so why should it be based on defense first? The situation of Jiannu is unknown, and he rashly sent troops and lost his men and horses, whose account is this? The meaning of the Governor is to first base himself on defense, then find out the enemy's situation, and then consider the use of troops, which is really a well-rounded and well-thought-out command, and I will definitely approve of it! There is no war in Liaodong for the time being, and our Dongjiang army is under fierce siege by Jiannu, and the front line of Lianshanguan has been fighting for more than two months, shouldn't we think about the Dongjiang war situation first? Or is your ancestor going to be in charge of the overseer? You will be the Governor of Jiliao? I don't know when Your Majesty gave this holy decree to General Zu? ”

With Mao Wenlong's words, many people snickered, but because of Zu Dashou's status, they didn't laugh out loud.

When Wei Bao heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Sanfu beside him, but he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to look like a sour talent, and his tone of voice was soft like a sour talent, but his words were very sharp.

Wu Sanfu also watched it with great interest, he didn't expect the small hall to be able to see and hear the conference hall so clearly.

At this level of military meeting, Wu Sanfeng could not follow Wu Xiang to participate, let alone Wu Sanfu.

Wu Xuexia and Wang Qiuya didn't care, seeing that Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu wanted to watch, they were behind the two, without making a sound, and watched from the gap together.

Although Zu Dashou's official rank is only a deputy general at this time, not even a general soldier, but his status in Liaodong is very prominent, as a banner figure of a local family in Liaodong in Liaoxi, where can he stand this kind of anger? Snorted and said, "Governor Mao, you don't talk about guns and sticks!" When did I say I was the Inspector of Jiliao? If you wait until the enemy's situation is fully ascertained every time you fight, then you will never move troops! Since your Dongjiang Army has been fighting with Jiannu for more than two months, can you turn the tide of the war with such a small salary? My Jinzhou city is more than enough for self-preservation! Lord Yuan Chonghuan and I have been stepping up efforts to repair the city since the second half of last year! Although the renovation has not yet been completely completed, it is absolutely impossible for the army of 20,000 or 30,000 Jiannu to take Jinzhou City within two or three months! Lord Yuan Chonghuan, don't you say? ”

Wei Bao sweated, did Yuan Chonghuan already appear at this time? Suddenly there was a feeling of heartbeat, anxious to know which person was Yuan Chonghuan?
