Mao Wenlong seemed to be deaf to Wei Bao's greetings, still stunned, looking at Zhao Kehu a few meters away like a stone statue.

Yuan Chonghuan was surprised, but he was able to maintain etiquette and nodded to Wei Bao: "Master Wei, let's take the liberty to visit, don't bother?" ”

"Don't bother, don't bother." Wei Bao hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Yuan and General Mao can come to me, I can't ask for it, where will I disturb." It was my negligence that I should have posted to the adults early. ”

Yuan Chonghuan smiled slightly, secretly wondering where this Wei Bao looked like a teenager, it was really a villain, just like an old fritter who had been an official for many years, and looked at Mao Wenlong beside him, only to see that Mao Wenlong was still looking at a man about forty on the opposite side.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but say, "Governor Mao? Governor Mao? ”

Mao Wenlong was the first to come back to his senses and hummed.

Mao Wenlong regretted it so much at this time! Yuan Chonghuan had proposed before that people should come to say hello first, and he met with Wei Bao in private. But Mao Wenlong felt that if he did that, it was a little unreasonable, it seemed that he had something to hide, so he refused Yuan Chonghuan's proposal with a fluke mentality, and said that he would just go!

Who knows, in this way, Mao Wenlong will see the person he is most afraid of seeing - Zhao Kehu.

It turned out that the person Mao Wenlong was afraid to see was not Wei Bao, but Zhao Kehu beside Wei Bao.

Mao Wenlong knew that Zhao Kehu was now following Wei Bao to do things, and he also roughly understood the delicate relationship between Zhao Kehu, Zhao Jinfeng, and Wei Bao.

The matter of Mao Wenlong and Zhao Kehu started 13 years ago.

On February 10, 1576 (the 11th day of the first month of the fourth year of Wanli), Mao Wenlong was born in Zhongxiao Lane, Qiantang County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

His grandfather, Mao Yushan, originally operated official salt in Shanxi, and later moved his family to Hangzhou due to business needs. His father, Mao Wei, abandoned business and followed Confucianism, paid donations as a prisoner, and married his wife Shen.

The Shen family is a prominent family in Hangzhou, and is known as "Hangzhou A family, with Shen as the most". Mao Wei and Shen had four sons, the third son died young, and the rest were the eldest son Mao Wenlong, the second son Mao Zhonglong, and the fourth son Mao Yunlong.

When Mao Wenlong was nine years old, Mao Wei died of illness, and his mother was twenty-six years old at the time, and lived with her son and brother Shen Guangzuo.

Shen Guangzuo is a famous eunuch in Hangzhou, a member of the Wanli Yimo Branch, a former Kaifeng Mansion Governor, a political envoy of Shandong, and a Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

When Mao Wenlong was young, under the influence of his mother's family, he also received the traditional Confucian orthodox education of "learning from a young age, learning the scriptures and making a living", but he was never interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and liked to read the art of war book "Shame to learn the sub-industry, good Sun Wu Art of War", so in the late Ming Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light martial arts, it was difficult to achieve decent fame, so he never married.

It wasn't until he became an officer in his thirties that he returned home and got married, marrying a Shanxi scholar woman, Zhang.

The Zhang family could not have children, and later accepted a concubine Wen in Liaoyang and gave birth to a son, Mao Chengdou. After Liaoyang was captured by the Later Jin, Wen died in the war, Mao Chengdou was rescued and sent to Hangzhou, and Zhang took care of him as his own.

In 1605 (the spring of the 33rd year of Wanli), Mao Wenlong succeeded to his uncle Mao Dechun in Anshan, Liaodong, as his heir, and then went north alone, first went to Beijing to visit his maternal uncle Shen Guangzuo, and was recommended by him to be under the tent of Li Chengliang, the uncle of Ningyuan, and began his military career in Liaodong.

At that time, Nurhachi continued to annex the Jurchen tribes, and the situation in Liaodong became increasingly tense, Mao Wenlong was interested in investigating the situation of mountains and rivers and the enemy's situation, and in September of the same year, he participated in the martial arts examination in Liaodong, "ranked sixth", and was appointed as one hundred households in Anshan, and soon rose to the general manager of Qian.

In 1608 (the thirty-sixth year of Wanli), Shengyang garrisoned.

13 years ago, that is, in 1611, Zhao Kehu went to Liaodong for a short time as an official, and was in the army.

At that time, Zhao Kehu was following Mao Wenlong and was Mao Wenlong's subordinate.

Although Zhao Kehu is not a powerful person, he is okay with his writing, plus he is modest and magnanimous, and he can have a good relationship with his colleagues, which has been appreciated by Mao Wenlong.

After a long time, in addition to the relationship between their boss and subordinates, the two developed a friendship relationship, and often drank and chatted together.

At that time, Mao Wenlong, although he was already a garrison, a general who was not big or small, but his power was already good.

Zhao Kehu is very grateful for Mao Wenlong's weight, in addition to the two often drinking together, Mao Wenlong's concubine Wen was not dead at that time, Wen had seen Zhao Kehu, felt that Zhao Kehu's character was very good, and introduced his cousin Lin Xiaoyu to Zhao Kehu.

On the night Zhao Kehu and Li Xiaoyu got married, they fell in love with Lin Xiaoyu's beauty and loved them after marriage.

Under the promotion of Mao Wenlong's in-laws, Zhao Kehu achieved the position of the general flag, which can be said to be rocket speed for Zhao Kehu, who has no experience in the army.

Because Mao Wenlong's concubine Wen and Zhao Kehu's wife Lin Xiaoyu are cousins, and Mao Wenlong's main wife Zhang is in Hangzhou, so Mao Wenlong's Wen family and Zhao Kehu and Li Xiaoyu often gather in the mansion, and they are not particularly taboo.

Mao Wenlong had never met Lin Xiaoyu before, in fact, Mao Wenlong was not keen on women, otherwise he would not have married until he was in his thirties.

But Mao Wenlong also fell in love with Lin Xiaoyu at first sight, but his city government was relatively deep, and he usually didn't show it.

Back then, Lin Xiaoyu was pregnant, and then she kept urging Zhao Kehu to leave Liaodong, return to Liaoxi, and go back to his hometown.

Zhao Kehu was very strange, and kept asking Lin Xiaoyu why? Lin Xiaoyu just refused to say.

Zhao Kehu is also a delicate person, guessed what was going on, so he didn't say hello to Mao Wenlong, so he took Lin Xiaoyu and left without saying goodbye, and returned to Liaoxi, which is now Weijiazhuang Jinshan.

In Jinshan, although Zhao Kehu's family status is there, and it is not low, his family is not rich.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yuanhua's father, Zhao Liquan, has always felt that Zhao Kehu has become a Jinshan Lizheng and cannot teach people to be convinced.

Zhao Kehu made his fortune shortly after returning to Jinshanli, when Mao Wenlong sent someone to escort the 1,000 taels of gold that he could muster.

Zhao Kehu struggled for a few days, but still received the gold, and used the gold to buy fields, and became the largest rich man and the largest landlord in Jinshan, plus he had been a general flag level officer in Liaodong before, so he came to the top, after the death of Lao Lizheng in Jinshan, Zhao Kehu became Jinshan Lizheng, and has been in the township since then.

Originally, Lin Xiaoyu followed Zhao Kehu to live in Jinshan, and the two rarely spoke to each other, and Zhao Kehu took concubines in one room and two rooms a year, never stopping.

A few years later, when Zhao Jinfeng grew up, Lin Xiaoyu asked Zhao Kehu to help her buy a yard in Shanhaiguan, and then moved to Shanhaiguan to live.

The story between Mao Wenlong, Zhao Kehu, and Zhao Jinfeng's mother Lin Xiaoyu is actually not complicated, it is very simple, and it was a very ordinary story at that time.

Mao Wenlong has not seen Lin Xiaoyu and Zhao Kehu since then, and every time he goes to Shanhaiguan, he is in a hurry and does not stay.

Later, Mao Wenlong led troops to aid North Korea as the capital secretary, stayed in the area of Liaodong, after the fall of Liaodong, fled back by sea, took advantage of the emptiness of the garrison to kill the defenders of Houjin Zhenjiang, and made a report to the governor Wang Huazhen, without telling Xiong Tingbi, so the two began to have resentment.

At that time, the people in power in the imperial court were appreciating Huazhen, so they appointed Mao Wenlong as the chief military officer, and gradually promoted to the governor of Zuodu, hung up the general's seal, gave Shang Fang the sword, and set up a military town on Phi Island like the mainland.

This is the year of Mao Wenlong's sudden development, and since then he has started the glorious life of a party member.

Phi Dao is also called Dongjiang, in the sea along the coast of Deng and Lai, the total length is 80 li, no vegetation grows, away from the coast, close to the north shore, the north shore and the Houjin World are only 80 miles away from the sea, and his northeast sea belongs to Korea.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong's territory is also collectively known as Dongjiang Town.

The governor of the Ming Dynasty was the governor of Denglai, and Yuan Keli was the only governor of Denglai who effectively supported Mao Wenlong for a long time from the overall situation.

Less than ten months after Yuan Keli took office, Mao Wenlong was directly given Shang Fangjian by adding rank.

The opening of the Dongjiang River was an opportunity, and when he met Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong gained a firm foothold in the Dongjiang River and established a solid foundation.

Yuan Keli Yuwenlong had a lot of efforts to contain him, and Mao Wenlong's main achievements and honors were achieved during this period.

Mao Wenlong was constantly promoted to the rank with the support of Yuan Keli, and began to be proud of his achievements, and at that time, the court officials questioned Mao Wenlong day by day.

In October of the third year of the Apocalypse, the emperor commended: "The governor of the capital Yuan Keli ruled the hard work, and gave you Zhu Tiwen Python." Ru Jia and Mao Shuai were arrogant and disagreeing, Gu Yu soldiers, and Manpu and Changcheng attacked and dared to make contributions. ”

"It is the victory of Manpu and Changcheng, it is said that the soldiers are less than a thousand, they have not fought a battle, they have not left a single arrow, and they have trampled on each other, and they have been killed by more than 20,000 people, more than 30,000 people have died when they have gone away, and there are more than 20,000 Zhenyi. The public (Yuan Keli) was quite suspicious, and he was cautious when he said that he would report it later. ”

So he moved the Dongjiang River and verified its fiction and reality. And Mao Shuai was jealous of the public, and he slandered the official to find it. ”

Yuan Keli was ordered to check his battle report and military salary, which was jealous of Mao Shuai.

At this time, there was suddenly an interest group composed of Song Zhenhan, a member of the eunuch party, and several Donglin people in the same year, Song Shixiang, Fang Youdu, Pang Shanglian, etc., who took advantage of the contradiction between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli, and took turns to maliciously attack Yuan Keli.

So much so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't look at it, and openly blamed him for his grievances: "The minister will stay and listen to the referee, and the officials should talk about the general situation, and there is no need to criticize them in a row." ”

At that time, the eunuch party was rampant in the middle of the dynasty, and there were no party attackers, and the eunuch party also wanted to get rid of Yuan Keli to cut the wings of Inspector Sun.

Yuan Keli did not act rashly, but "softened his (Mao Wenlong) bones" and persuaded Mao "courtiers not to bully", "Gong (Yuan Keli) is so strange that his (Mao Wenlong) is courageous." ”

Even at the time of the earthquake, Yuan Keli was still asking the court to "pre-plan Mao Shuai's help".

Therefore, before Mao Wenlong told Sun Chengzong not to go to Denglai to buy grain, it was not that Yuan Keli was targeting him, but that he was embarrassed to face Yuan Keli.

As soon as Yang Sichang took office, he asked the emperor for salary on behalf of Yuan Keli: "Fu minister Yuan Keli was ordered by Fang Xin, please pay 200,000 yuan to disperse the soldiers, it seems that it is a last resort. But in the Holy Judgment, a certain number shall be given. ”

There are also some radical court officials who value mountains and seas and ignore coastal areas accuse Yuan Keli of protecting Mao Wenlong: "Mao Wenlong lives overseas, and often visits China and North Korea with false words, and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, invites each generation. ”

Yuan Keli was angry at both ends, and his situation was very embarrassing.

Although the situation in the Dongjiang River, where Mao Wenlong lived, was enough to contain the Houjin, his own strategy was limited, and the annual wasted military salary could not be calculated, and he only cared about recruiting merchants and selling forbidden goods, nominally aiding Korea, but in fact he went out of the border fortress in vain, and when there was no military, he took the sale of ginseng and cloth as his ministry, and when there was a war, he rarely got his functions.

In the matter of engineering, Pan Shiwen impeached Mao Wenlong for wasting military pay and killing prisoners indiscriminately, and Shang Baoqing and Dong Maozhong requested that Mao Wenlong's troops be withdrawn and the troops in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan should be rectified.

What happened between Mao Wenlong and Zhao Kehu, Wei Bao didn't know, but Mao Wenlong had conflicts with many people, but he was able to firmly control the power of Dongjiang Town. This is what Wei Bao admires about Mao Wenlong.

Wei Bao summed it up, Mao Wenlong belongs to the people who are more powerful in commanding his subordinates, but he is not good at communicating with foreign countries.

"Thirteen years gone." Mao Wenlong is a big man in the end, and he is several years older than Zhao Kehu, and the city government and bearing are stronger, so he took the initiative to open his mouth.

Mao Wenlong didn't blush, but Zhao Kehu's face blushed, and he snorted, not knowing what to answer.

Wei Bao's mouth moved, and he originally wanted to do his best to talk to the landlord and invite Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan in. But I'm curious that Mao Wenlong and Zhao Kehu actually know each other, and the atmosphere between the two is too awkward and weird, right? So Wei Bao held back and didn't make a sound.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong took the initiative to say to Wei Bao at this time: "Master Wei, don't be invited, don't bother?" ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, it turns out that General Mao and Uncle Zhao have known each other for a long time?" Wei Bao said with a smile.

"An old friend for more than ten years!" Mao Wenlong said indifferently. He had imagined this scene many times, imagined meeting Zhao Kehu unexpectedly in various places and at various times. Every time he thought of such a scene, Mao Wenlong couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But when he really saw it, Mao Wenlong felt that there was nothing in fact, and his concubine Wen was dead. Zhao Kehu and Lin Xiaoyu have also left Liaodong for more than ten years, and even Zhao Jinfeng has grown into a big girl, and they are regularly sent to check the details of Lin Xiaoyu and Zhao Jinfeng's mother and daughter, and they have reported the affairs of Zhao Jinfeng and Wei Bao to Mao Wenlong many times, so before Wei Bao sent people to Jinzhou City, Mao Wenlong already knew that there was such a person as Wei Bao.

But Mao Wenlong didn't know that Zhao Kehu and Wei Bao had talked about a marriage agreement, and only thought that Wei Bao and Zhao Jinfeng were childhood sweethearts The kind of boy-girl relationship has not yet reached the point of talking about marriage.

Mao Wenlong didn't want to intervene in the lives of Zhao Jinfeng and Lin Xiaoyu, so in addition to resisting seeing Zhao Kehu, he actually resisted meeting Wei Bao. Because Wei Bao is a person who has a relationship with Zhao Jinfeng after all.

"Oh, haha, I didn't expect that." Wei Bao said to Bai Peng beside him: "Uncle Bai, arrange an independent wing room, let General Mao and Uncle Zhao catch up, and I will personally accompany Lord Yuan and General Mao." ”

"Okay, Childe." Bai Pengfu immediately agreed.

Wei Bao warmly invited Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan to enter.

At this time, the carriage of the Wu family came, and it was Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu who came.

Wu Xiang didn't want to come, but after thinking about it, he accepted Wei Bao's invitation. Wu Xiang was mainly angry because Wei Bao had promised to return the 180,000 taels of gold for Zu Dashou's birthday. But thinking that Zu Dashou asked him to pay more attention to Wei Bao, and although Wei Bao did not regret returning him 120,000 taels of gold, but the gold did not return to his hand for a day, Wu Xiang was not at ease for a day, so he decided to come to the banquet in person.

Before going to the banquet, Wu Xiang originally wanted to bring Wu Sanfeng here, but after thinking about it, he still asked Wu Sanfu to accompany him, and did not let Wu Sanfeng come.

Before the carriage could stop, Wu Xiang saw Wei Bao, who was talking enthusiastically to Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan.

Surprised, Wu Xiang called Wei Bao before he got out of the car: "Master Wei." ”

When Wei Bao saw that it was Wu Xiang, he couldn't help but sweat, knowing that the big families of Liaoxi and Liaodong Jiangmen were not dealing with Mao Wenlong, so he specially arranged a private box for Mao Wenlong, but he didn't expect to meet Wu Xiang.

Seeing that Wu Xiang came with Wu Sanfu, there was no Zu Dashou, and there were no disappointing guys like Wu Sanfeng and Zu Kefa, Wei Bao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Wu Xiang: "Master Wu is here, and he is not welcome. ”

Wu Xiang smiled, got out of the carriage accompanied by Wu Sanfu, and said to Wei Bao: "Gongzi Wei doesn't need to be so polite, I didn't expect you to invite General Mao, General Mao has never participated in these private banquets, Gongzi Wei has a lot of face." If we want to invite General Mao, please don't move. ”

When Mao Wenlong faced Wu Xiang, his attitude was very calm, and he smiled: "Lord Wu said that you laughed, you have never invited me, right?" If I hadn't been in a hurry every time I came and went, I would have invited Lord Wu to drink a long time ago. ”

"Haha, General Mao is really polite, whoever invites it is the same, it is better to meet by chance, let's just borrow Wei Gongzi's treasure today to have a drink, how about it?" Wu Xiang said with a smile.

"Okay, good, I can't ask for it, my small place can be appreciated by all the adults and generals, and the Heaven and Earth Business and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce will have light." Wei Bao saw that the two of them had a very good attitude, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was very afraid that Mao Wenlong and Wu Xiang would make a noise here in his place, there was no super boss like Sun Chengzong to suppress the formation, if it evolved from fighting to using force, wouldn't it be the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the Tiandi Merchant Hall that would suffer?

Mao Wenlong frowned, very unhappy, originally this time he came to Wei Bao to buy food, but suddenly a Wu Xiang appeared, which naturally disrupted his deployment. However, it is inconvenient for Mao Wenlong to say anything, after all, it is Wei Bao's territory, and he secretly thinks that he can only wait for Wu Xiang to leave, and then talk to Wei Bao about buying grain.

"What? General Mao doesn't seem to welcome me very much? Wu Xiang is good at observing words and feelings, and immediately noticed Mao Wenlong's mood changes, and immediately judged that his arrival disrupted some of Mao Wenlong's prior arrangements, guessing that it was very likely that Mao Wenlong wanted to find Wei Bao to buy food, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said that he came at the right time!

"Where, how can you be unhappy to be able to drink and eat with a big man like Lord Wu in Liaoxi?" Mao Wenlong said quietly.

"General Zu is the hero among the people, where can we compare?" Wu Xiang hurriedly and modestly slapped a sycophant over. Wu Xiang is different from Zu Dashou, fighting and fighting, on the table, Wu Xiang still pays great attention to cultivation, and will not easily turn his face with others.

The two of them complimented each other, and then entered under Wei Bao's warm greeting.

Mao Wenlong did not forget to greet Zhao Kehu, and Zhao Kehu did not refuse.

Time has passed, Zhao Kehu doesn't say that he has let go, but he doesn't want to be too 'little man', although he doesn't even know if Zhao Jinfeng is his biological daughter, this has become an eternal pain in Zhao Kehu's heart.

Wei Bao noticed the delicate relationship between Zhao Kehu and Mao Wenlong, but at this time, the guests arrived in an endless stream, and Wei Bao did not have the opportunity to ask Zhao Kehu what was going on.

Today's wine and food are jointly organized by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and Shanhailou, and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce does not have so many people to prepare such a big pomp for a while.

There are nine tables in total, and each table is of the highest standard of five taels of silver.

Wei Bao usually eats at home, which is almost the same standard, and he has the intention to spend more money to improve, but unfortunately there is no super consumption in this era, and the top is this specification. Wei Bao also asked people to arrange three girls per table, which is considered an additional luxury configuration.

Wei Bao didn't expect Sister Fang to come in person, and Wei Bao hadn't seen Sister Fang for another month or two.

Seeing Sister Fang, she was wearing a pomegranate red tuanhua embroidered cardigan, a flower-sprinkled crepe skirt with a silver and white background, and a thin gold smoke veil embroidered on a golden background.

Smooth long hair, the head is chic and reversed, the light and slow cloud temples are inserted with beeswax stone red gold sheng, the skin is like clotted fat on the hand wearing a bracelet with a drop of red gold and a drop of oil, the waist is tied with mugwort green silk knot long spike silk silk, there is a purse with a red bottom folding branch flowers, and the feet are wearing apricot yellow bottom pinched gold digging cloud red fragrant sheepskin shoes, the whole person is full of quality.

"Sister Fang is getting more and more beautiful." Wei Bao laughed.

In this way, Sister Fang listens to it at least dozens of times on weekdays, and her ears are about to become calloused, but Wei Bao's words still make her heart move, just because Sister Fang has privately promised Wei Bao a heart and lifelong events.

Sister Fang agreed with Wei Bao before that as long as Wei Bao was admitted to the exam, she would be a concubine for Wei Bao, the head of the concubine room, which was an agreement between the two of them.

Therefore, Sister Fang'er naturally can't compare with other men to Wei Bao.

Sister Fang smiled: "Gongzi Wei hasn't seen him for a while, and he is even more Yushu in the wind." ”

Burst.

When Wei Bao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and Sister Fang also laughed together, two blush swelled up on her delicate pink face, which was so charming and moving, that Wei Bao wanted to break through the realm with Sister Fang now and achieve good things!

"Now is not the time to speak, I will be in Shanhaiguan for the next two days, you come to my maritime chamber of commerce to play?" Wei Bao whispered to Sister Fang.

"I'm not coming, you bold little villain, don't you like to take advantage?" Sister Fang said softly.

Wei Bao snorted lightly: "Sister, I don't seem to have taken advantage of you, right?" ”

"Who knows if you've taken it in your heart?" After Sister Fang finished laughing, she said with a straight face: "My life is not good, I haven't talked about marriage yet, so I was positioned as a concubine, and the concubine room can be, but it must be married through the media, and it can only be ...... after passing the door Anyway, I can't despise me because I'm the daughter of a merchant. ”
