Both Yang Hongyi and Wei Bao are well versed in the key core of negotiations, and whoever says what they want to help the other side first will be at a disadvantage.

The reason why Wei Bao didn't say it until this time was because he wanted to pull himself to the same position as Yang Hongyi, because his status was much lower than Yang Hongyi. And no matter when Wei Bao turned to Yang Hongyi for help, his previous advantages would be erased, so Yang Hongyi suddenly felt comfortable.

Wei Bao then said that he wanted to set up a road guide, go to the customs to do business, and sell goods to Hejian Mansion. On the one hand, Wei Bao really needs to beg Yang Hongyi, Yang Hongyi's 'tiger skin' is very important to him, on the other hand, only the relationship of mutual dependence is stable, no one in this world must eat whom's business, and a long-term strong business relationship will definitely break in the end.

"Haha, it's a trivial matter." Yang Hongyi was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I gave you a road guide, and Wu Sanfeng will know that you are my person in the future, and I dare not make it difficult for you casually." You're killing two birds with one stone. ”

"It's all up to Lord Yang's support! I didn't have as far-reaching as Lord Yang thought, I just knew that with Lord Yang as a support, no matter what I did, it would be easy. Wei Bao hurriedly bowed his hand. No matter how violent his elixir is, it always costs money, a powerful person like Yang Hongyi, although he also has capital, but he is much more flexible, and if he cooperates with such a person, he can't fly out of his palm, like fish on a chopping board. But he can only show 'honesty' and 'good control' at this time, which is good for him. The more shrewd and difficult to control, the more Yang Hongyi must be wary.

Yang Hongyi completely let go of his knot at this time, taking what he needs is the most satisfactory way to cooperate, otherwise he has to find a way to find a place where he can blackmail Wei Bao, otherwise if Wei Bao goes outside and says that he leaks to take medicine from him, it will be very bad. No matter what Wei Bao's background is, Yang Hongyi will not take it to heart, no matter how big he is, he can't be bigger!

Yang Hongyi saw Wei Bao's restrained and honest appearance, and smiled generously: "As long as you are sincere, honest, and follow me to do things, you are my person!" Don't worry, I won't let people overcharge your money, how to settle the accounts. As for your business affairs, if there is anything you can't handle, you can also come to me, but the price has to be calculated separately, hehe. ”

Wei Bao secretly thought, no matter how difficult it is, I don't dare to look for you, listen to your meaning, do the road guide, it is estimated that there will not be much money, and if there is something to find you, it must be discounted, but Nuo Nuo even claimed that it was, looking respectful. Feudal society is dominated by the rule of man, supplemented by the rule of law, how to settle accounts in detail, isn't it according to the official words? He wants to do the business in the Guannai, on the one hand, in order to get rid of the Wu family's goods as soon as possible, and on the other hand, the materials of his large warship, the products that are not easy to preserve, must be taken off before the warm weather in the spring, if the business is not good, there will be no more tossing in the future, this is Wei Bao's idea.

Yang Hongyi saw that Wei Bao didn't take his words seriously, and secretly laughed, thinking that Wei Bao was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he didn't know the sinister nature of doing business in Shangguan, and he could do business just by getting the road guide? With so many powerful merchants inside and outside the customs, why can only the Wu family monopolize the business in and out of the customs? He also didn't have the heart to rush to ask what forces were behind Wei Bao? Knowing that Wei Bao's tone is so tight, he will definitely not be able to tell the truth if he is in a hurry.

Yang Hongyi accepted two boxes of 'elixir', then changed his expression, and talked with Wei Bao while eating in a relaxed mood, the atmosphere at the wine table was much more harmonious, and it no longer made Wei Bao sit on pins and needles like just now.

What happened in the private room upstairs, the people outside didn't know at all, let alone Uncle Sun Jiu and Sister Fang downstairs.

"Don't go up! I'll help you find a reason to push it off, you go back to the house and rest, don't come out again! "Uncle Sun Jiu stopped Sister Fang.

"No, I just said that I would go up and toast Lord Yang with a glass of wine." Sister Fang insisted.

"I know what you want for Nawei Gongzi, but you don't have to, right? You don't know who Yang Hongyi is? In Shanhaiguan, who doesn't know that Yang Hongyi eats and lives in Yihong Courtyard? Besides, he has long had a heart for you! You can't go to anything! Uncle Sun Jiu said angrily: "Are you really so interested in this Wei Bao?" You never pay for drinking! ”

Sister Fang was blushing by what her father said, mainly because she was worried that Wei Bao didn't know what was going on now?

Sister Fang and Uncle Sun Jiu both knew what happened, Wei Bao wanted to do Lu Yin, and asked Yang Hongyi for help, it was Sister Fang who pulled the thread from it, this is all that Uncle Sun Jiu and Sister Fang knew, they didn't know that Yang Hongyi wanted to buy elixir from Wei Bao, and they didn't link the elixir and Lu Yin. In their opinion, Wei Bao is an absolute disadvantage, it is difficult to impress people like Yang Hongyi with silver alone, even if they are impressed with silver, how profitable is this kind of business? If it is easy to make money, how can the land business inside and outside the border be controlled by the Wu family for a long time? No matter how powerful the characters are, they can't get their hands on it?

Uncle Sun Jiu is worried that Sister Fang will suffer! Why isn't Sister Fang worried? But for Wei Bao's sake, she wanted to go to the risk to see, "Dad, I'm measured, I'll come out with a glass of wine." ”

"What do you want me to say about you? What's the use of you going? Uncle Sun Jiu's beard trembled, and under the excitement, his tone became heavy, "Such a big girl, she is not ashamed?" ”

Sister Fang heard Uncle Sun Jiu say such heavy words to herself, and tears immediately swirled in her beautiful eyes, "What did I do?" You say I'm not ashamed? Isn't it just going for a toast? Is this an unsightly thing? ”

"It depends on whose wine it is toasting! Is Yang Hongyi easy to mess with? It's nothing if you don't get involved with him, once you get involved, it's easy to smoke? Uncle Sun Jiu said angrily: "If you want to go, you can go, kill your father with a knife before you go." ”

Sister Fang was silently wiped her tears by what Uncle Sun Jiu said, Uncle Sun Jiu's move was invincible for her, and she couldn't resist it.

Seeing Sister Fang'er with her back and her shoulders shaking slightly, knowing that her daughter was sad and sad, Uncle Sun Jiu also sighed for a while, not knowing how to comfort her, anyway, she must not let her daughter go into the tiger's mouth by herself.

The two of them were deadlocked here, Yang Hongyi and Wei Bao came down from upstairs, followed by the entourage of the big gang.

"Report my name if you have something in the future! Talk about this Shanhaiguan! It's the entire Yongping Mansion, the entire Liaoxi, I think who dares to touch you? Yang Hongyi's voice raised a lot, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was obviously drunk, which was very different from his usual gloomy style.

Wei Bao couldn't stop saying yes next to Nuo Nuo, Yang Hongyi was next to Wei Bao, laughing: "Miss Rui's matter, I promise you!" Since you have taken a fancy to it, I can't say that I have to be an adult! I've got it for you! You can go to Yihong Courtyard to pick it up now! ”

Yang Hongyi said, and then instructed an accompaniment beside him, and asked very enthusiastically: "Immediately accompany Wei Gongzi to do this, Wei Gongzi will be his own person in the future, and his affairs are my affairs, have you heard them?" ”

Yang Hongyi's entourage hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Wei Bao just told Yang Hongyi about the matter of deducting the silver for the purchase of the 'elixir' from the silver of the road, and also said that he wanted to ask for Xu Rui, and sure enough, as Wei Bao expected, Yang Hongyi readily agreed, although he likes Xu Rui, but after all, it is just a red card in the Qinglou, as long as he can 'maintain his combat effectiveness for a long time', Yang Hongyi really has no shortage of women, just the ladies and concubines of the family of the officials who are in charge of him in Shanhaiguan, he can play wherever he wants, is there still a red card in the Qinglou?

Uncle Sun Jiu and Sister Fang'er widened their eyes, looking at the situation in front of them as if they had seen a ghost, Yang Hongyi suddenly became so 'affectionate' with Wei Bao? Moreover, listening to the meaning, it seems that Yang Hongyi is going to send a woman to Wei Bao? How is this possible? What spell does this Wei Bao can't do? Both of them couldn't believe their eyes and ears.

Yang Hongyi found Sister Fang, smiled happily, and said with a big tongue: "Sister Fang, you don't talk again this time, what about you come to toast me?" Xiao Nizi's family, this is not good, deceived me. ”

"The little girl was planning to go up later, but she didn't expect Lord Yang to drink it so quickly? Next time, I will have the opportunity to toast Lord Yang again. Uncle Sun Jiu hurriedly replied with a smile.

"And then the." Yang Hongyi smiled: "Forget it, Lord Ben is happy today, and I don't have the same knowledge as you." ”

Uncle Sun Jiu hurriedly said: "Lord Yang is the most atmospheric, who doesn't know the entire Shanhaiguan and the entire Yongping Mansion?" ”

"Don't be scared like this, since you are friends of Wei Gongzi, they are all your own people." Yang Hongyi's smile didn't stop, he waved his hand aggressively, and walked out while talking with the support of Sui Hu.

Uncle Sun Jiu wiped his forehead with joy, thinking that Sister Fang didn't go up to accompany the wine, Yang Hongyi said that he had to get angry, maybe he was angry, and it was light to smash the counter to get angry, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily? He said that Yang Hongyi was atmospheric, and that was flattery. In the entire Shanhaiguan, who doesn't know that this Yang Hongyi is a stingy character who must be repaid? Yang Hongyi calculates meticulously and refuses to accept benefits easily, that is to get greater benefits! The more such people are, the more calculating.

Wei Bao didn't talk much, glanced at Sister Fang'er's red eyes, and then at Uncle Sun Jiu, he could roughly guess what happened downstairs just now, it must be Sister Fang who was worried about herself and wanted to go up to toast, but was forcibly stopped by Uncle Sun Jiu, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm, and she felt guilty while being grateful to Sister Fang.

Wei Bao accompanied Yang Hongyi out of the house, until Yang Hongyi was sent to the sedan chair to leave, then turned around, and asked Yang Hongyi to accompany him to Yihong Courtyard to pick up Sister Fang's son and Li Nan to do this, and gave Li Nan 50 taels of silver, and asked him to hand it over to the housekeeper's mother in Yihong Courtyard, although the housekeeper's mother did not receive the silver, but Wei Bao didn't want to take advantage of others, the transaction between him and Yang Hongyi was equivalent to a deal, just in other ways. Wei Bao instructed Li Nan to be sure to complete the formalities clearly, but he was not at ease, so he asked Liu Chunshi and Fan to pick up Xu Rui together.

Xu Rui was originally just a girl wrapped up by Yang Hongyi, but Yang Hongyi just said a big thing, saying that he wanted to give it to Wei Bao, Wei Bao was naturally happy to save some money, with Yang Hongyi's face, Yihong Courtyard at most symbolically collected some redemption fees, which could help Wei Bao save hundreds of taels of silver! So hurry to strike while the iron is hot.

After Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou, and Li Nan bowed down and agreed, they went with the retinue left by Yang Hongyi.

Wei Bao walked in front of Sister Fang and asked distressedly, "Why are you crying?" ”

Uncle Sun Jiu was embarrassed for a while, and wanted to take Sister Fang away and not let her talk to Wei Bao, but it was a little too late, and it was estimated that Sister Fang would not listen to herself, so she said beside her: "Where is she crying?" Wei Gongzi, it's not early, are you going to live in Shanhailou tonight? I'll let the guy go and arrange for the room. ”

Wei Bao had already seen that Uncle Sun Jiu didn't want to see him, but he didn't show the slightest impatience or dissatisfaction, and thought for a while and said, "Don't stop it, it's too late to rush back now, I'll leave later." He thought that he was not in a hurry to get the money anyway, and he had already said that he had already done it, just leave Liu Chunshi and Fan with a big head to do it, and he could take Xu Rui back to Jinshan, and the family in the province was worried.

Sister Fang said worriedly: "It's so late, the city gate will be closed immediately." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, seeing that Sister Fang had the intention of keeping herself, and said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll stay for one night." He said to Peng Mingbo: "You go back now, saying that I will spend the night in Shanhaiguan tonight and go back tomorrow." Peng Mingbo agreed.

Seeing that Wei Bao listened to her opinion so much, Sister Fang was overjoyed, wiped away her tears, and asked softly, "What method did you use?" Let Lord Yang work hard for a while? ”

Wei Bao glanced at Uncle Sun Jiu, who was also very concerned about this issue, and kept his ears pricked up while pretending to settle accounts.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "I can't talk about this here, I will find an opportunity to tell you alone." ”

Sister Fang'er's pink face turned red, how worried she was just now, how happy she is now, and snorted with a smile: "I'm not uncommon to know, you better tell other women, Lord Yang will actually send a woman to you, presumably you asked him for it, men don't have good things." ”

The question of Yang Hongyi wanting to send Wei Bao a woman is also a concern for Uncle Sun Jiu, Wei Bao looked at Uncle Sun Jiu again, Uncle Sun Jiu found that Wei Bao was observing himself, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he hurriedly raised his head and greeted the guy: "Are you clumsy like a fool?" Didn't you hear that Wei Gongzi was going to stay in Shanhailou at night? Why don't you clean up your room? ”

The guy hurriedly agreed, secretly thinking about who to provoke? What's the tantrum? Wei Gongzi hasn't said how many rooms to open yet.

Wei Bao understood his buddy's thoughts, and added with a smile: "Open an upper room, and then open a normal room for my buddies next to it." "I brought a lot of entourage today, and I don't want them all to sleep on the benches outside.

The guy agreed again, secretly praising Wei Gongzi for being really good and considerate.

Wei Bao continued what he said with a smile, and defended Sister Fang: "I didn't ask Lord Yang for a woman, I accidentally talked about a girl, I feel that the girl's background is pitiful, maybe Lord Yang will be wrong, so he will give it to me, that's all." ”

Avoiding the important is to ignore the vernacular, this is Wei Bao's forte, and the matter will be completed in one sentence.

Sister Fang snorted softly with joy: "I don't believe you." Although he once said to Sister Fang that he wanted to test Wei Bao and help match Wei Bao and Sister Fang'er, he was actually 10,000 unwilling in his heart, just because he used to be the same as Wei Bao, he was born in the township, so 10,000 people who looked down on Wei Bao who came out to do business at a young age, no matter how much Wei Bao would make money, he couldn't look down on it, unless Wei Bao was famous!

Wei Bao saw that Uncle Sun Jiu had a strange expression on the side, and secretly thought that Uncle Sun Jiu might be about to catch him up in the blink of an eye, but he was still more interesting, and nodded politely to Uncle Sun Jiu and Sister Fang, "I'll go back to the back to rest first." ”

Sister Fang knew that Wei Bao could see that her father was unwilling to let him talk to her, so she pouted angrily at Uncle Sun Jiu, and then said softly to Wei Bao: "Rest early, I'll ask you tomorrow." "Just in case Wei Bao gets angry.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, winked at Sister Fang'er, and left.

Sister Fang was amused by Wei Bao's appearance, and Wei Bao was still smiling and enjoying herself when she left.

Uncle Sun Jiu said angrily: "Everyone is gone, and you are still laughing?" The girl's family doesn't know how to be reserved? Today I told you to talk less to this surnamed Wei in the future, you will turn a deaf ear? ”

"I'm going to rest, too." Sister Fang was in a very good mood, she didn't want to debate with her father, and secretly thought that if you didn't talk to Wei Bao, I didn't promise you, right? Thinking that Wei Bao is so capable, he can actually impress Yang Hongyi, and his heart is beautiful.

Xu Rui's redemption is very smooth, originally Xu Rui is now in a state of being adopted by Yang Hongyi, which is equivalent to a semi-redeemed body, generally like Xu Rui's situation, being raised by a powerful figure like Yang Hongyi, Yang Hongyi is tired of playing in the future, and he can't maintain his current value, most of them are going to be sold to an elderly rich man as a concubine, or reduced to an elderly second- or third-tier girl, Qinglou is a place to eat youth, after the age of twenty, in Qinglou is considered to be old.

Liu Chunshi's entourage on behalf of Wei Bao and Yang Hongyi's entourage, as well as the housekeeper's mother on behalf of Yihong Courtyard signed and sealed, and left a copy of the note, which was secure.

After that, Xu Rui and a bunch of sisters cried goodbye, and the housekeeper's mother and a few bustard's mothers also said some words, prying girls on weekdays, that is work, there is really a situation like Xu Rui, who can jump out of the fire pit at a young age, everyone still has a blessed mentality, and the bottom society is full of warmth, including places like Qinglou.

Although she got into the carriage sent by Wei Bao to pick her up empty-handed, Xu Rui was warmly moved in her heart, she didn't expect Wei Bao to really do what she said, and to take her away from Yihong Courtyard so quickly, no matter what the future holds, no matter whether Wei Bao will marry her in the future, she is satisfied and regards Wei Bao as a benefactor.
