【0151 Opening before the ceremony】

"So, you can go back to sleep, fall asleep, and the life of the family will be able to go on." Li Chengnei's wife was surprised when she saw Li Chengnei's face, and she couldn't help but say cool words.

"What the hell are you going to do? I drank too much last night, and you didn't see it? Didn't I get up? Am I not as smart as my brother, and can I compare man to man? Why don't you compare yourself to other women? Li Chengnei was honest outside, arguing with his wife, but he refused to suffer: "My brother has the ability, so we are brothers, doesn't this mean that I have the ability?" ”

"Okay, you've got what it takes. The three sons have gone down, so you should wash up and go down. Li Chengnei's wife said and helped Li Chengnei bring hot water for washing.

"Strange, if we went to the palace yesterday to sell a lot of furs, it wouldn't be early this morning, and the ladies and daughters of the dignitaries and nobles of the entire Beijing Division were rushing to come to Xiaobao's shop to buy things, right? The news is spreading quickly, Xiaobao's store is newly opened. Li Chengnei said strangely while freshening up: "Also, this Xiaobao is different from others when he opens a shop, and he doesn't even shoot firecrackers?" You should have a banquet before you open a business, right? He's nothing, huh? ”

"Yes, it's different from others, I don't shoot firecrackers, I don't hold banquets, and I just started selling goods." Li Chengnei's wife shook her head, "I don't understand it either." ”

This matter, not only Li Chengnei and his family can't figure it out, but also the merchants on Shiwangfu Street can't understand it, these people are either Jin merchants or the 'big brothers' of the business community in Zhili, with little qualifications, who can continue to do business in Beijing in this kind of disaster year, then they have to be experts who have been up for ten years, and I really don't understand why Wei Bao's business can rise so quickly. also secretly laughed at Wei Bao for not understanding the rules, where did he start selling goods silently?

In those days, it was common for a new store to open, and it took at least a few days for it to open.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Guangjin was outside the gate of the Jin Chamber of Commerce, looking at the 'Heaven and Earth Firm' diagonally from a distance, and asked his son beside him softly.

"I've inquired, this kid used to sell all the furs to the palace yesterday!" Qiao Dongsheng said angrily: "You are so bold that you even dare to do business in the palace." Then he told how Wei Bao, who had been inquired about, then offered furs to the queen and the guest lady in the palace, and then sold them in large quantities to a group of palace concubines and the ladies of the emperor's relatives.

Qiao Dongsheng nodded, "It's indeed a capable kid, I'm not wrong, right?" There can also be talented people in the township! Not to be underestimated. I heard that Wei Bao is only 14 years old, and your sons are older than Wei Bao, what kind of virtue are you now? ”

Qiao Dongsheng was speechless by his father, as if no matter what he said, he could end up pulling on his head, and pursed his lips angrily, if he talked back, he would have to be doubled, it was better not to speak, and his ears were clean.

"That's not right, even if he has the ability to sell furs to the palace, can't so many people come to sell goods so quickly? Our Qiao family has been in business for so many years, and it is not that it has such a good reputation, do you know how many years it takes for a store that sells high-grade furs to accumulate reputation? Why are these people so relieved of Weibao's store? Qiao Guangjin suddenly thought of the key to the matter.

Qiao Dongsheng shook his head, he hadn't thought about this question, "Is it because it is out of stock this winter?" Just picked it up now? Those rich ladies and ladies are waiting to wear new furs, waiting for madness? ”

"It's hard work to talk to you! If his family is out of stock today, and a company that sells pork is changed, even if there is better pork, you have never dealt with it, and you dare to buy other people's pork rashly? Won't just wait a few days without meat? This is true of pork, let alone such an expensive cargo as fur. Qiao Guangjin couldn't help but snort: "When will you grow a little better?" Does out-of-stock have anything to do with reputation? I said why these people are so relieved about a newly opened store, hurry up and let people check it! ”

"Yes, Dad, don't be angry, I'll let someone check it." Qiao Dongsheng hurriedly said, I really don't understand where he made him angry.

Not only does the Qiao family have this kind of question, but every business on this street has this kind of question, and the Yang family's father and son, who are doing better on the ground, are even worse.

"Look, didn't you say that no one would want Wei Bao's goods? People are coming to the door all the time! I think it won't take three days, and you will be able to get rid of all the goods before the Lantern Festival, and this time, you will only make a net profit of 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver! Yang Siqing shouted at Yang Mingchen.

"Dad, you're just in a hurry, what's the matter? Let the villagers pick it up, can he always be like this? It's also evil, isn't this surnamed Wei the poor ghost who has made Li Chengnei strong? Li Chengne's sister Dong Li is the most useless concubine, she was not favored in the hands of the first emperor before, and now she has a bad relationship with Grandpa Wei and Mrs. Ke, can Dong Li help this Wei Bao? In the past two days, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the people of the Heaven and Earth Firm, except for Dong Li, I really can't think of which big tree Wei Bao can lean on? Yang Mingchen said.

"It doesn't matter which big tree he leans on, hurry up and check it, you can't send people to keep an eye on it, and what are you doing with those useless things?" Yang Siqing said angrily.

Yang Mingchen sighed and went out to call a few guys to investigate.

When Qiao Dongsheng and Yang Siqing asked people to investigate, Wei Bao was drinking tea leisurely in the account room behind the store.

Wei Bao doesn't like to show his head, and he has recruited so many shopkeepers and guys, and now there is no shortage of people under him, he will personally go to sell, and the effect will not be better than that of his subordinates, so he is happy to hide behind and hide idle.

"Childe, your idea is really clever, let's find a dozen trusted cronies to go around, saying that we are relatives of Gonggong Wei's family, and sure enough, the dignitaries and nobles up and down the Jingshi are relieved of us, and I thought that Gongzi could go to the palace to sell a large number of furs, and it was also with the support of Gonggong Wei. And this winter fur is out of stock, and they know that we have a limited quantity, so they are all in a hurry to come to our store to buy fur. Fan praised Wei Bao convincingly.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said: "Although I don't want to get too close to Grandpa Wei, our ancestors are indeed from Cangzhou, and we are fellow villagers with Grandpa Wei's family, and fellow villagers can always have some kinship, right?" We're not talking nonsense, are we? ”

Fan smiled with a big head, "Yes, yes, I didn't talk nonsense, otherwise, there is no way to explain why Gongzi has not been in Beijing for a long time, why can he sell so many furs in the palace?" ”

"Every step Childe took was unimaginable, but when I looked at it later, it was the right way." Liu Chunshi couldn't help but admire.

Wei Bao glanced at Fan and Liu Chunshi, and smiled slightly, Fan couldn't help laughing, Liu Chunshi smiled, according to the current speed, all this batch of goods will be sold out within two days, it will not be a problem!

"Now we are ready to go back, there are three things left, all arranged today, one is to continue to secretly acquire a large number of shops along Shiwangfu Street, Luomashi Street, Zhushikou, East Sanli River, West Sanli River, as well as Beijing Normal University, good houses, keep them in your hands, rent them out, and keep them as a place to stock up in the future. The second thing is to find a good yard and let my eldest brother's family move over, if there is no relationship between Concubine Dongli Zhuang, I will not be able to enter the palace, and I must be a man to repay my kindness! ”

Liu Chunshi said: "What Childe said is good! I have a good location now, not far from Li Chengne's house, but it's worth a seventy taels of silver, didn't the son say that he wanted to find a good place for their family to live with hundreds of taels of silver? ”

"Their house is not expensive, more than seventy taels of silver is already very good, okay, this thing is good, you can discuss it with my eldest brother later."

Liu Chunshi agreed, and Fan asked with a big head: "Didn't Childe say three things?" What's the other thing? ”

"Tonight's dinner will invite all the merchants on this street, especially the Jin merchants and a few big families of the Zhili Merchants Gang, I want to have a treat, we didn't open a drink, now put it!" Wei Bao smiled slightly.

Liu Chunshi and Fan couldn't help but sigh, originally everyone set up wine when it opened, but they didn't expect Wei Bao to put wine after it opened? Yesterday they said that they would not open for the time being today, but they didn't expect that Gongzi would let the opening open for business first, and then set up wine?

"Childe, they all invited guests to play firecrackers before the opening, and now they have sold goods, and they still want to make wine? And who can we invite? Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if there was no one at that time? Liu Chunshi asked. He thought that the reason why Wei Bao didn't put wine was because he thought that no one would come, so he quietly opened in advance.

"Business is alive, and so are people. The reason why I am in a hurry to sell goods is because the market cannot afford to wait! It is necessary to rush to the market before the Lantern Festival and sell all the goods to ensure the maximum profit, so I can't afford to delay it for a day. Wei Bao explained: "Whether you invite or not, it's our business, whether people come or not, that's their business again, don't invite guests, don't notify friends in the business world, others will say that we don't understand etiquette." I think that there will be no one to come, and the Jin merchants may not come, and the merchants from all walks of life will come at least two to three percent of the shopkeepers. ”

"Do you want to invite the official face?" Fan asked.

"Please, invite all the people you can think of, isn't it just an invitation? It doesn't matter if you don't come, the etiquette should be thorough. Wei Bao said casually.

"It would be nice if a few dignitaries could come to support us on the scene, then no one would dare to set us up easily." Fan said with a big head.

"Yes, if only a few merchants come, and there is no official backer, the scene is really ugly." Liu Chunshi also reminded.

"When the time comes, treat guests separately, let people in the business world eat in Tiandilou, and friends in the official face will eat in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce Hall, and eat separately, people know how many official friends we have come? Let people hire a few sedan chairs to be placed at the door of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce to fill the scene. Wei Bao smiled: "It's impossible that a friend from the official face won't come, at least my brother-in-law will definitely come." ”

Burst.

Liu Chunshi and Fan couldn't help but laugh, they didn't expect Wei Bao to come up with any idea, is this really okay? Isn't that a lie? If it is exposed, won't it become a cover-up and stealing the bell?

Wei Bao understood what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "Do you think it will be shameless for people to know?" I hired a sedan chair, and I didn't say what it was for? How many people have come, there's no need to make a noise, right? I'm going to have a lot of people coming, so I'll hire a few more sedan chairs, so that it's easy to send off guests, can't I? You just have to hire a sedan chair, you don't need to hire a sedan chair driver, just carry the sedan chair back yourself, without our invitation, others can't go to the Strait Chamber of Commerce Hall to check. ”

Liu Chunshi and Fan Datou listened to what Wei Bao said reasonably, and both nodded.

"Can the people in the palace also please? Does the son want to send invitations to Mrs. Ke and Father-in-law Wei? Fan asked.

Wei Bao smiled: "Do you really dare to think about sending invitations to Mrs. Ke and Grandpa Wei?" ”

"Well, don't they all have mansions outside the palace?" Fan replied with a big head: "Since Gongzi asked us to send everyone we can think of, I think we should also send Mrs. Ke and Grandpa Wei, right?" ”

"Okay, send it, it's their business whether they come or not, and if they do, we are sensible." Wei Bao said: "Don't go empty-handed, send that tiger skin to Grandpa Wei, and then send a silver ticket of two thousand taels of silver to Mrs. Ke!" ”

Liu Chunshi and Fan Datou gasped when they heard Wei Bao's shot so heavy.

"Childe, don't we ask them to do anything? Just sending such a heavy departure directly, this is equivalent to going out four or five thousand taels of silver at once. Fan reminded with a big head.

"No, this bit of silver, people may not be able to look at it, just don't mention anything, just invite to eat, but it seems that we are generous, and those who are generous have friends." Wei Bao Road.

"Childe is reasonable, and he must take it in advance." Liu Chunshi agreed, "Filial piety as soon as possible, so as not to find the door when you want to hold on to Buddha feet in the future." Is Childe going to go in person? Liu Chunshi asked.

Wei Bao thought for a while, "No, just send an invitation, you don't have to ask to see it, you can just let someone do it." ”

"Yes, Childe." Liu Chunshi and Fan got a few direct instructions from Gongzi and went down to do something.

Wei Bao finished arranging everything, and breathed a sigh of relief, this is all an arrangement with no way, he has already made up his mind anyway, it's not really no way, don't take the initiative to stick to Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Ke's door, take a step at a time. It's better not to develop than to develop chaotically, Wei Bao is not a personality with his eyes closed.

Li Chengnei's family happened to meet Liu Chunshi Fan's big head who went out, and said two words briefly, Liu Chunshi and Fan's big head said goodbye, and Li Chengnei took his family into the account room to talk to Wei Bao.

"Brother, is this an opening? The business is so good, it won't take a few days for my brother's goods to be sold out. Li Chengnei said with a smile: "You have the ability." ”

"Big brother teased, what kind of ability is this? If my eldest brother hadn't brought me into the palace, I would have to sell all my furs to the black market at a reduced price, and I would have to lose a lot of money. Wei Bao said modestly.

"My brother is so humble at a young age, and he doesn't leak anything when he speaks and does things." Li Chengnei's wife praised: "It's really rare, Leshan is only one year younger than Xiaobao, and he doesn't understand anything." ”

Wei Bao sweats, he doesn't like others to mention his age, he has already established an elder image in front of Li Leshan, Li Leshan and Li Letu, and the destructive power of your words is very great.

"What's the use of age? I lived to the belly of a dog at my age. Li Chengnei smiled disappreliantly, "Brother, let's go back, you can be busy." ”

"Big brother, let's talk about lunch later." Wei Bao said politely: "Your house is already in place, Liu Chunshi has a good look, a big yard very close to where you live, you may be able to get it today, and I am talking about when I will let you go and see it." ”

Li Chengnei's family didn't expect Wei Bao's work efficiency to be so high, they were very surprised and moved, and felt that Wei Bao did treat their family's affairs as their own affairs, and regarded their family as relatives.

"Brother, you're busy with yours first, aren't you? Big brother's affairs are not in a hurry, and we live quite well now. Li Chengnei said embarrassedly.

"It's not too late to leave after lunch, I'll let someone accompany you over to take a look first, if you like it, let's set that set, or we'll find another one." Be sure to satisfy your sister-in-law and three nephews. Wei Bao laughed.

"Brother, what's so embarrassing?" Li Chengnei's wife was blushing and warm-hearted, although she was a little jealous that Wei Bao was so capable at such a young age, and she made a fortune through Li Chengnei, but Wei Bao's return was also something she didn't expect, there are too many ungrateful people in this world who cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Wei Bao smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, it's all a family, you sit down, I'll let people prepare lunch early in a while, eldest brother drank too much last night, and now he must be hungry." ”

Wei Bao said that he beckoned a few people to chat and drink tea, let people prepare meals, and while handling various official duties, he accompanied Li Chengnei's family to play.

Li Chengnei, Li Chengnei's wife, and Li Chengnei's three sons saw Wei Bao managing a large business alone, as if playing, they were all admired, I didn't see Wei Bao running a business, and I don't know how powerful Wei Bao is, as long as I stay with Wei Bao for a little longer, people can immediately ignore Wei Bao's age.

After lunch, Wei Bao asked Li Nan to accompany Li Chengnei's family to see the bright courtyard house worth more than 70 taels of silver that they had chosen, and the Li family was very satisfied, and they said to Li Nan at that time, and after Li Nan returned to Wei Bao, Wei Bao asked people to help the Li family move immediately.

In fact, there is nothing to move, the Li family is poor and ordinary people, they are all in tatters, Wei Bao asked Li Nan to go to Zhang Luo, and all the tools were repurchased new, and he really helped Li Chengne's family with a maid and a servant, and the Li family suddenly seemed to be carried from the ice cellar in the ice and snow to the warm sweet nest.

Wei Bao's every move was not only concerned by the merchants on Shiwangfu Street, but also by Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Ke, and even Wang Yongan, Xi Li's personal eunuch.

If Wang Yongan hadn't capsized with Xi Li, he would have been at least the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor by virtue of his qualifications! But although he followed Xi Li in the Luan Palace, his status was not as good as before, and now he is just a eunuch with little power, and his influence is still there, so it is no problem to ask the well-informed eunuchs in the palace about Wei Bao. Many of the big eunuchs in the palace used to be Wang Yongan's subordinates, plus Wang Yongan was okay, and he was able to remain humble when he was in a high position, and he had not offended anyone, and his popularity was good.

Wang Yongan quickly got Wei Bao's current situation, Dongchang is not joking, he wants to check a person, he can check the eighteenth generation of this person's ancestors, and he can check this person inside and out.

Wang Yongan then told Xi Li about Wei Bao's situation, Wei Bao asked people to secretly acquire Shiwangfu Street, Qianmen Street, Zhushikou, Luomashi Street, Dongsanlihe, Xisanlihe, these well-located shops along the commercial street, and some well-located, spacious Zhongda mansions, in addition, Wei Bao has started business without holding any opening celebrations, and the business is very prosperous, and now is distributing invitations everywhere, inviting people to attend the opening ceremony of the Tiandi firm. Wang Yongan told Xi Li in detail about all these situations.

"Oh?" Xi Li seemed to be listening to a story, and felt that Wei Bao did a lot of things every day, "He did so many things from yesterday to today?" You don't need to open a wine business, you can directly open a store to sell goods? Business is also very good. Now that business is very good, what kind of banquet do you want to have? Aren't they all open yet? ”

Wei Bao does not do a lot of things, but makes a lot of decisions, Wei Bao is obviously a person who can be a manager, and he arranges the affairs of his subordinates every day, he only controls the overall situation, and he does not have to do it himself.

Xi Li was actually shaken in her heart since Wei Bao asked her for more than 10,000 taels of silver yesterday, and she had left an extremely deep impression on Wei Bao. Although she has been favored for many years, Emperor Taichang has always been just a trembling prince before, with no power, no power and no money, and he is worried that he will be thrown into the cold palace all day long, and the life of his subordinates is naturally very depressing, where can he live a good life? Emperor Taichang died less than a month after he ascended the throne as emperor, and she didn't even have the official canonization, and she couldn't talk about enjoying a rich life.

Although it is not possible to talk about such a meeting, so as to perceive Wei Bao's feelings or something, after all, the two people are fourteen or fifteen years old, Wei Bao is only one year older than Zhu Huiyuan, Xi Li can give birth to a son as big as Wei Bao, but the women in the palace rarely see men, they are extremely sensitive, she doesn't believe Wei Bao just because she wants to help her, because she has a good relationship with Dong Li, if it is about Wei Bao's refuge object, there are actually many choices, and it shouldn't be her.

Xi Li couldn't put down the shelf and went to Wei Zhongxian to ask for perfection, but she was contradictory in her heart for a long time, she was not a person with bad brains, the form had already been seen clearly, but her personality made it difficult for her to bow her head.

"Niangniang, Wei Bao is indeed a young man with vision, and what he said has its own truth." Wang Yongan said tentatively: "Look at everything he is doing now, it seems to be a little ridiculous, he often doesn't follow the etiquette law, but he is very direct, how can he make money, how can he come, and he doesn't forget to make up the etiquette afterwards, so that people have nothing to say, it is indeed very skillful." ”

"Grandpa Wang, you think too highly of Wei Bao, you have never been so boastful before." Xi Li smiled lightly, a little disdainful, but he didn't know why, but he was willing to listen to things about Wei Bao in his heart, and liked to hear people evaluate Wei Bao.

Wang Yongan has been by Xi Li's side for more than ten years, since the eighth princess Zhu Huiyuan was not born, he was a eunuch in the palace, serving Xi Li, and he is extremely familiar with Xi Li. Accept the status quo, do what Wei Bao said, and be a concubine with peace of mind from now on, not to mention dignity, at least better than now, life can be lived well, Wang Yongan knows that as long as Xi Li no longer wants to be the queen mother, wants to be the imperial concubine, Wei Zhongxian and Ke Baba will not treat Xi Li badly, after all, they are the people who came out of the Xili Palace, if they neglect Xi Li, the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace will say that they are ungrateful behind their backs.

"I really feel that this young man is different, he is a rare talent, he is only 14 years old now, and in a few years, if he has the opportunity to enter the officialdom, he will definitely be a heroic figure who can be like a fish in water." Wang Yongan continued to probe tentatively: "Niangniang might as well think about some of what Wei Bao said, it makes sense. ”

"Don't talk about it, I know you want to persuade me to find the Hakka again! She was originally just a servant in my palace, but now she is good, she is all a holy lady, how majestic is she in the palace and outside the palace? She is so majestic for all her servants, why should I only be a concubine? The position of the Queen Mother should be mine, the first emperor once promised it personally! Xi Li said angrily.

Wang Yongan secretly thought, you always said that His Majesty promised to make you queen, who has heard of it? Even if there is, it is a whisper between the emperor and you on the bed, can it be used as a basis? There are no witnesses, there is a matter of naming you as the imperial concubine, but unfortunately, didn't the first emperor leave first? Time has passed, the situation of going first has been very different, more than three years have passed, why are you still holding on to this stubble and not letting go?

In July of the 48th year of Wanli (1620), the crown prince Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, and Xi Li colluded with Zheng Guifei, the favorite concubine of Mingshenzong, and praised each other.

Zheng Guifei asked to make Xi Li the empress, and Xi Li asked to make Zheng Guifei the empress dowager. At that time, Guangzong was ill, and he couldn't get a good rest during his illness, and he couldn't stand the repeated nagging of the two women, so he summoned the ministers and ordered Xi Li to be the imperial concubine.

But Xi Li hid behind the curtain and eavesdropped, didn't do it, pushed Zhu Youxiao out of the curtain, and said that he wanted to be crowned queen, the minister was stunned, and the emperor should not. Sun Ruyou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The titles of the Queen Mother, Concubine Yuan and others have not yet been honored, and it is not too late to be crowned the imperial concubine after these things are resolved." "Skillfully delayed the matter of Empress Xi Li Feng.

Unexpectedly, Ming Guangzong died inexplicably in the Red Pill Case, one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, after only one month of his reign.

Xi Li was unwilling, and at the instigation of Concubine Zheng Guifei, Lai did not leave the Qianqing Palace, taking attack as defense, and instigated some old ministers who wanted to rely on her to make profits to ask for a seal for her. At the same time, he seized Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong, and ordered that all the recitals of the imperial court must be handed over to him.

The Qianqing Palace was the legal residence of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Xili, a concubine without any official title, dared to detain the new emperor and occupy the Qianqing Palace, resulting in the inability of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to hold the enthronement ceremony, and the ministers, especially the Donglin Party, were extremely angry.

The Donglin Party was worried that she would collude with Concubine Zheng to engage in a double curtain to listen to the government. So Liu Yixie, a scholar, Zhou Jiamo, a scholar of the ministry, and a military department all gave Yang Lian and Yushi Zuo Guangdou all to fight for it.

Xi Li dreamed of blackmailing the ministers to make her the queen by means of a shrew in the market, her ambition and courage were there, but her mind and insight were just the opposite, but after several fierce confrontations, in the end, Xi Li admitted defeat, she didn't even have time to wait for the eunuchs to help move, so she held her daughter and walked to the place where she should go, and went to the Renshou Hall of the Qiluan Palace where the concubines and concubines were old. The eunuchs and palace maids saw that she was gone, and stole all the jewels she got when she was favored, and they all went to the high branches one by one, and Xi Li ended up in such a field as he is now.

Wang Yongan persuaded two more words tactfully, but seeing that Xi Li still couldn't turn the corner, he stopped persuading.

"Listen to what you just said, Wei Bao didn't go to Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba? And Wei Bao is really a person with no background? It's not a child of a family, it's really just a young man in a township in western Liaoning? You said that Wei Bao has not found a backer now, and with such a relationship with Li Chengnei, he dares to do such a big business in Shiwangfu Street, he is not afraid that someone will trouble him? Li Chengnei himself is just a small banner, he can't even support his family, and he can't help Wei Bao, right? Jingshi is the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and the young people in this township are too bold, have they not touched the wall yet? Seeing that Wang Yongan no longer talked about Wei Bao, Xi Li took the initiative to bring the topic back to Wei Bao.

Wang Yongan was secretly funny, you don't look down on Wei Bao on the surface, but you always like to ask him what to do? "This is where this kid is clever, who does great things and dares to do it with the help of people everywhere? In that case, don't do anything, there is no one in the world who has always paved the road with the help of someone. Wei Bao may feel that he should be careful not to let people grasp the handle easily, or wait until he encounters difficulties, and then use the silver in his hand to make a point. It can be seen that Wei Bao is very measured, and he is easily unwilling to get close to anyone, if Niang Niang can have such a branch as Wei Bao outside the palace, it is not a bad thing. ”

"I'm an idler in the palace, and now I'm just choosing a waiter, what do I want outside the palace?" Xi Li didn't have a good breath and said, "Don't talk about it, let's arrange to go to bed." ”

Wang Yongan sighed secretly, and had to let the palace maid come over to serve Xi Li to rest.

Wang Yongan stepped out of Xi Li's bedroom, secretly thinking that people live to live better, and if Xi Li Niangniang wants to live better, she has to put down her body to restore her relationship with Wei Zhongxian, and then think about restoring her relationship with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so that she can live better. There is no need to count on the title of the queen mother, it is impossible, but the honorific title of the imperial concubine can still be worked on! This matter is not only a matter in the palace, someone has to echo outside, and it is not a matter that can be achieved overnight, in short, there is a 'own person' outside the palace, how it is a matter of mutual benefit, and it is very beneficial to Wei Bao and Xi Li Niangniang.

Wang Yongan thought about it and had a plan in his heart!

In the blink of an eye, the next morning, Wei Bao asked people to send out all the invitations that could be sent, but he could ensure that the only person who came was Li Chengnei's family.

Wei Bao held the book and read it, waiting for the attendants who went out to send out invitations to talk back while reading the book.

Noon is approaching, and people are coming back one after another, and as Wei Bao expected, they are frowning one by one.

"Childe, I'm afraid this thing is difficult, none of the houses I went to show me a good face, and I was so hurt that I gave out more than 20 taels of silver for nothing, and the gatekeepers of those official families, one by one, with big shelves, did not give silver, and did not even pass on the word, and none of them had an echo." Fan said with a big head. Fan's head went to important mansions with status, including Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba's mansions.

Wei Bao listened quietly, didn't say anything, and knew that he had given the tiger skin to Wei Zhongxian, and gave two thousand taels of silver to Kebaba, which was a little relieved, even if people didn't look down on this thing, at least they kept the fire, and they had a chance to meet.

The others all went to the small officials, the homes they are now in charge of, and went to Shiwangfu Street and the firms that did better business in the capital to send invitations, and the situation was similar, and those people were lukewarm to Wei Bao's subordinates.
