"Okay, Jin Feng, Dad promises you!" Zhao Kehu said without thinking, and said very heavily.

Zhao Kehu naturally didn't want this matter to be mentioned again, and hated Mao Wenlong very much for coming out and inserting a lever last time.

But when Zhao Kehu saw Mao Wenlong, he didn't have such a big hatred now, this is the sad thing about a man like Zhao Kehu, he can't be ruthless to outsiders, but he hates Lin Xiaoyu the most.

"Mother, will you promise me? Can you stop looking for death and life like this in the future? Zhao Jinfeng asked Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu glanced at Zhao Kehu, Zhao Kehu sighed and turned his face away.

Lin Xiaoyu sighed and said to Zhao Jinfeng: "Jinfeng, now that you know everything, your mother has no face in front of you." But my mother promised you that I would let you marry well, but after you got married, my mother will grow old in this small courtyard, and no one will be seen from now on. ”

"Mother, you can follow me to Wei Bao's side, and when you get to him, there will be nothing left." Zhao Jinfeng said.

Lin Xiaoyu heard that her daughter didn't seem to hate herself, she felt a little more comfortable, shook her head and said: "That's impossible, where is there a marriage with a mother, don't talk about it." ”

Zhao Kehu saw that there was nothing wrong, so he got up in pain, and walked outside the yard as if his feet were filled with lead.

Zhao Kehu opened the courtyard door and looked outside, except for Xiaocui, the guards of the Baojun were all standing far away, not like they could hear what he and Lin Xiaoyu said just now.

"Sir." Xiaocui timidly called Zhao Kehu.

Zhao Kehu asked, "Xiaocui, did you hear anything just now?" ”

"No, no, just now the master said that he was afraid that people would hear it, how dare I eavesdrop on it, I heard a little loud voice inside saying that I would die for you to see, and I didn't hear anything else." Xiao Cui hurriedly argued.

Zhao Kehu nodded, still very relieved Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui was a personal maid who was bought and placed by Zhao Jinfeng's side since she was a child and grew up with Zhao Jinfeng, even if she heard something, she would never talk nonsense.

"It's good that I didn't hear it, I'm leaving." Zhao Kehu continued to pour lead and walked out.

Seeing Zhao Kehu like this, Xiaocui was very anxious and returned to the compound.

At this time, Zhao Jinfeng and Lin Xiaoyu didn't know how to face each other, and the two of them were back to each other and had nothing to say.

Xiaocui could only persuade Zhao Jinfeng to go back to the house to rest first, separate the two of them, and then persuade the housewife to go back to the house to rest.

Xiaocui naturally heard it just now, but she didn't expect the main mother to have such a paragraph, and she was also secretly guessing whether Zhao Jinfeng was Zhao Kehu's daughter or Mao Wenlong's daughter.

The Statistics Bureau of the Heaven and Earth Society did not develop Xiao Cui into an agent, because Xiao Cui was basically with Zhao Jinfeng and was rarely separated.

The people in the Statistics Bureau were also afraid that disturbing Zhao Jinfeng would make the president unhappy.

But Zhao Jinfeng is obviously a person who has an unusual relationship with the president, and belongs to a figure who absolutely needs to be monitored.

Therefore, next door to Zhao Jinfeng's house are all agents of the Statistics Bureau of the Heaven and Earth Society, which is convenient for covert monitoring and protection.

Wei Bao soon received the news, and only then did he understand what the situation was back then.

This made Wei Bao secretly amused, he didn't expect that Zhao Jinfeng's life experience was a bit legendary.

Wei Bao learned about Zhao Jinfeng's family, and within a day, Mao Wenlong arrived.

Originally, Wei Bao thought that Zhao Kehu would talk to him about Mao Wenlong, but he didn't expect it.

Wei Bao estimated that maybe Zhao Kehu wanted to hide this matter from him, after all, on the one hand, this matter was disgraceful, and on the other hand, it was estimated that Zhao Kehu was afraid that after he knew that Mao Wenlong and Zhao Jinfeng were related, he would think that Zhao Jinfeng was Mao Wenlong's daughter.

After all, in terms of strength, Zhao Kehu can't be compared with Mao Wenlong.

Zhao Kehu used to be a lieutenant chief in Wei Bao's hometown, and now he is the manager of a business in Tiandihui, and one of the heads of the business in western Liaoning.

Mao Wenlong came here at the invitation of Wei Bao.

Mao Wenlong didn't know Wei Bao's real purpose for coming to him, and thought that Wei Bao was just letting himself participate in the wedding banquet between him and Zhao Jinfeng.

This made Mao Wenlong very happy, thinking that Wei Bao already knew that he was Zhao Jinfeng's biological father?

In fact, Wei Bao wanted Mao Wenlong to put pressure on Jiannu from behind and use troops against Jiannu, forcing Jiannu to accept the compensation of 28 million taels of silver he offered, and then the two sides negotiated the terms of peace.

Although on the front, Wei Bao has contacted people from Chahar and Horqin's right wing to come over and talk about dealing with Jiannu together, but the role of the front still can't catch up with the back, if Mao Wenlong sends troops, Jiannu will be attacked on both sides.

Wei Bao received Mao Wenlong at the first time.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Wei, in order to congratulate you on your marriage with Jin Feng, there is still one million taels left in the lease fee of your Heaven and Earth Association in the area of Jinzhou in southern Liaoning, I don't want it, and I brought another 100,000 taels of gold and 2 million taels of silver! The total is 100,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver, all of which are of fine finest gold and silver. As soon as Mao Wenlong saw Wei Bao, he reported it bluntly and directly

Out of the gift list.

When Wei Bao heard this, he was very moved, knowing that Mao Wenlong was rich, but 100,000 taels of gold was still gold of high quality, and the value was more than 3 million taels of silver, plus 3 million taels of silver, Mao Wenlong took out 6 million taels of silver at once, not to mention that it was not exposed, and I don't know if it was his own daughter, or the only daughter of someone else's high-ranking official family

There is no such a heavy dowry.

When Wei Bao married the daughter of the British prince Zhang Weixian and married the daughter of Wu Xiang, the two of them together were less than one-third of Mao Wenlong's output, and both of them were about one million taels of silver, and Zhang Meiyuan and Wu Xuexia were the only girls in the family, and they were both pearls in their palms.

"General Mao, this gift is too heavy, right!? Moreover, can such a heavy gift be known? I'm afraid some people will question why you have so much gold and silver, right? And if I accept such a heavy gift, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the outside world. Wei Bao said.

"What does it matter, it's all my own silver, not stolen, not robbed, they know how much silver I have in my hometown? My Mao family is also a big family in Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture. Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Moreover, I am the daughter of my father, what is there to hide, whoever likes to say it, just say it, I am not afraid of people talking about me, anyway, I Mao Wenlong is such a girl."

”

Wei Bao sweated, secretly wondering if you were going to hide it? Tell me directly that Zhao Jinfeng is your daughter?

Since Mao Wenlong said so, Wei Bao had no way to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and said strangely: "General Mao, you said that Jin Feng is your daughter?" What about Shopkeeper Zhao? ”

"Zhao Kehu is his adoptive father, Grandpa Wei, I still call you Xiaobao, right? As an elder, I can call you that, right? Mao Wenlong felt that it was too awkward to call his grandfather.

Wei Bao smiled: "Yes, you can call it whatever you like." ”

"Xiaobao, this is supposed to be a shameful thing, but you are about to marry Jin Feng, and I am not afraid to tell you, you are a smart person, I believe you will not look down on Jin Feng for this little thing, right?" Mao Wenlong said.

Although Wei Bao knew what Mao Wenlong was about to say, he pretended not to know, and said strangely: "How can I look down on Jin Feng?" What's the matter, General Mao, you just have to say. ”

Although Mao Wenlong's name is Wei Bao Xiaobao, Wei Bao still calls the other party General Mao, and obviously does not easily recognize Mao Wenlong.

This made Mao Wenlong a little unhappy, and secretly thought that Lao Tzu had given a heavy gift of 100,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver, which one of the Ming could do it? Even if the emperor marries his daughter, he will take out tens of thousands of taels of silver at most, you kid is good, Lao Tzu is out of blood, can't you change your mouth and call Daddy?

But Mao Wenlong didn't have a seizure, and said with a straight face: "If you want to believe that I am Jinfeng's father, you have to change your name to call me father, I know you still don't believe it." Jin Feng was actually born to me and Jin Feng's mother. ”

Wei Bao listened to what the other party said directly, and his face turned red when he listened, he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to use this kind of word, it seems that Daming is really open.

"This, does Zhao Kehu know? Does Jin Feng know? Wei Bao asked.

"Zhao Kehu must know that he gave his wife to me to sleep with, how could he not know?" Mao Wenlong said: "I don't know if Jin Feng knows or not, if Zhao Kehu and Lin Xiaoyu didn't tell Jin Feng, she wouldn't know, I can't tell her this kind of thing personally." But I came here this time to recognize Jin Feng. ”

"Do you recognize Jin Feng? If this matter is true, it will not only have a great impact on your official reputation, most of your officials will not be able to do it, and in addition, it will also have a great impact on Jin Feng's reputation. And, you know? I now have a heavy army and a lot of power, and the court doesn't know that I have complete control over North Korea, if I know that you are Zhao Jinfeng's father, the court and Your Majesty will

Won't guard against us? I married the daughter of the British Duke and Wu Xiang, which has already attracted a lot of criticism, and now if I marry your Mao Shuai's daughter again, it will be terrible. Wei Bao said what was in his heart, Wei Bao wanted to benefit, but also didn't want to carry the black pot.

Mao Wenlong actually thought of this, and when he heard Wei Bao change his name from General Mao to Mao Shuai, he obviously respected himself a lot and was a little more comfortable, "Xiaobao, as long as you believe that I am Jin Feng's father, even if I don't disclose the gift money, I will still give you the 100,000 taels of gold and 3 million taels of silver as a dowry." I don't want to be famous, you and Jin Feng can just know. ”

"That's easy to do, gong to gong, drum to drum, find Jin Feng's mother and tell Jin Feng, your father and daughter recognize each other in private, if you are good for Jin Feng and for your own good, I believe you can accept it, right?" Wei Bao asked.

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said: "Yes, as long as you and Jin Feng can recognize me as a father, you can not talk about this matter, and it is really not good for everyone to say it." ”

Wei Bao was very happy to see Mao Wenlong so refreshing, "I helped you contact you about this, you don't have to worry, I'll secretly go to Jinfeng's house later." ”

Because it was inconvenient for men and women to meet before they got married, and he was afraid that people would tell the truth, Wei Bao said that he would go secretly.

"Shall I go with me?" Mao Wenlong asked anxiously.

"This matter, if it's true, I don't think it's a big problem, it really can't be fake, I think Jin Feng's mother will also tell her daughter the truth." Wei Bao said: "Do you have to be in a hurry for these few days? What do you want to do? Before my Jin Feng got married, I heard Jin Feng call you Dad? ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, as long as you and Jin Feng can call me father, I won't ask for anything else." ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong say this, Wei Bao decided not to talk about the things behind letting Mao Wenlong send troops to attack Houjin.

Because if you say it directly, Mao Wenlong will definitely open his mouth.

Wei Bao knew that Mao Wenlong had made his fortune by monopolizing the sea trade from North Korea to Daming, but now starting from Shandong, the entire Bohai Bay is under the control of his own sailors, which has made Mao Wenlong's sailors a waste.

Although he gave Mao Wenlong two North Korean provinces as compensation, the two northernmost provinces of North Korea are the poorest, and they can't mix much money, so Mao Wenlong is naturally not happy to see that he is developing so fast.

Sending troops to attack Jiannu, with the combat effectiveness of Mao Wenlong's army, one of the ten who can be exchanged for Jiannu is an acceptable combat consumption.

Mao Wenlong can pull out to fight, at most 350,000 people have combat effectiveness, although it claims to be an army of 200,000 or 300,000, in fact, most of them are ordinary people, family-style soldiers, and they cannot be the combat effectiveness of the regular border army.

Because Mao Wenlong's troops are comparable to those in Liaodong, and their combat effectiveness is also comparable, no one on either side looks down on anyone for a long time.

The generals of the Liaodong and Liaoxi families, represented by Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, believed that Mao Wenlong was outside the Ming Dynasty, and he took more military pay and food than them every year, and they were blocking the invasion of Jiannu head-on, so they were very unwilling.

And Mao Wenlong was also very unwilling, feeling that he was far away from the Ming Dynasty, and he had to rely on himself for everything, how hard it was, plus he was a foreigner, and he had been fighting behind enemy lines for a long time, and he had to look at his face and be despised, so he was also very unwilling.

All these caused irreconcilable contradictions between the Liaodong Border Army and the Dongjiang Army.

Therefore, after a short period of peace, Mao Wenlong's subordinates were ready to move and provoked the treasure army several times.

If it weren't for the fact that the Bao Army was too strong and the Dongjiang Army was afraid of the Bao Army, I am afraid that a military conflict would have occurred between the two sides long ago.

And Wei Bao knows very well that although Mao Wenlong is known as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, these horses are all managed in a family-style way, Mao Wenlong plus nephews, plus a lot of godsons and grandsons, but in this bandit-like way, how can you manage tens of thousands of troops? There are also two or three hundred thousand ordinary people who live with the Dongjiang army.

Therefore, even if Mao Wenlong is moved, Mao Wenlong has no way to be as obedient and easy to control as the Liaodong Border Army.

"Okay, I'll figure it out, it shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Bao Road.

"Don't take it seriously, I'm afraid this matter is not easy, Jin Feng's mother may not be willing to let me recognize Jin Feng." Mao Wenlong said.

Wei Baoqi said: "Didn't you just say that you are a concurrent?" How could she not let Jin Feng recognize you? It really can't be fake. ”

After Wei Bao finished speaking, he blushed first, he was very awkward when he heard Mao Wenlong say it just now, and he felt awkward when he said it.

Wei Bao is generally a good person, a person with moral integrity.

Although Wei Bao likes Xi Li very much, and he also likes Zhao Jinfeng's mother, and even has miniature thoughts about Kebaba, Wei Bao still has his own moral bottom line, and he hasn't thought about it.

Mao Wenlong was embarrassed for a long time before he said: "It's a good idea, and she is quite willing, otherwise we wouldn't have done it so many times during that time." You say, if a woman doesn't like you, can she sleep with you a dozen times? ”

Wei Bao secretly thought, this is really hard to say, the ghost knows if you have good skills and make other women comfortable.

After all, that thing and feelings, not to mention that they can be completely separated, are two different things.

Wei Bao did not speak.

Mao Wenlong didn't care about Wei Bao's thoughts, "Later, I contacted Lin Xiaoyu with someone and wanted to meet, but Lin Xiaoyu was very ruthless to me, neither met me, but also told me that I would never see Jin Feng." If Lin Xiaoyu refuses to admit it, Jin Feng will never believe that I am her father. ”

Wei Bao sighed, secretly thinking, that's all?

Then why are you embarrassed to say that you are in harmony with Lin Xiaoyu?

If Wei Bao hadn't been involved in big interests, he really wouldn't have wanted to care about Zhao Kehu, Mao Wenlong and Lin Xiaoyu.

But now Wei Bao is towards Mao Wenlong, and he really wants to help Mao Wenlong do this, which has a lot of benefits for himself.

"Mao Shuai, I understand the general meaning, you can wait for the news with peace of mind, I believe I can have a way." Wei Bao Road.

Mao Wenlong looked at Wei Bao: "Xiaobao, as long as you can help your father do this, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future!" There is no other word, when I reach this age, it is impossible to move any more ideas of inheritance, even if there is still this idea, it is easy to find a woman, and wait for a child to grow up, how old am I, so, whether I can enjoy the joy of family life in the future, it all depends on you, it all depends on Jin Feng, and when you have a child, you can call me an elder, I have no regrets in this life. ”

Wei Bao listened to Mao Wenlong's emotion, and could understand Mao Wenlong's intentions, but Wei Bao secretly thought, you still have to think about it, after Chongzhen comes to power, it is estimated that Yuan Chonghuan, the king of cowhides, will still have a chance to come to power, and when the time comes, you don't know if you can avoid Yuan Chonghuan's open guns and arrows.

From Wei Bao's point of view, if Mao Wenlong becomes his father-in-law, he will have to fight to save Mao Wenlong.

But if history is really irreversible, there is nothing you can do, so do your best to obey the destiny of heaven.

"Mao Shuai, don't worry, I will do my best!" Wei Bao laughed.

Mao Wenlong nodded and patted Wei Bao on the shoulder: "Dad is really happy, you have great ability, in less than a year, you have become the biggest celebrity in front of Your Majesty, and you can also let Your Majesty personally come to give you the officiating marriage." If it weren't for His Majesty personally marrying you, I would still be angry in my heart, why didn't you marry us Jin Feng first, weren't you the first to know Jin Feng? You marry the daughter of the British Duke first, I have nothing to say, compared to the British Princess's strength in Daming, but my Mao Wenlong's daughter, which is inferior to his Wu Xiang's daughter? ”

That's a long story. I was ordered by the emperor to marry the daughter of the British government first, and then I thought, Wu Xuexia is by my side, so I can marry together. Anyway, if you can't be the first, it doesn't matter if Jin Feng is second or third. Wei Bao explained.
