Wei Bao saw that Sun Chengzong directly agreed, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you so much!" Then I happen to have something to ask for help. Although I have a good relationship with the Wu family now, but this matter is big after all, I hope that the teacher will come forward on my behalf to invite Wu Xiang to come to Jinzhou City in person, otherwise, he may not come in person, and will let his eldest son come for him. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiaobao's mind is really fine, don't say it, if you don't say hello in advance, this Wu Xiang will definitely not be there!" is very cunning, he likes to shrink back in everything, only Zu Dashou is the head of the horse, and Zu Dashou asks him to do what he does. Okay, this matter is simple, I will let my cronies go to the secretary office to deliver the message, and let Wu Xiang come in person, saying that there is something important to see him! In addition, this border discussion will not be placed in Jinzhou, Jinzhou is the place where the ancestral longevity tree has deep roots, and it is placed in Ningyuan! The guards of Ningyuan City are all Ji Liao. ”

"Thank you so much!" Wei Bao was overjoyed again, so he said goodbye to Sun Chengzong and left. Wei Bao is very clear about the difference between Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City, Jinzhou City is Zu Dashou's person, he has a home advantage, and when he talks about things here, Zu Dashou has the upper hand. But Ningyuan City is different, Ningyuan City symbolizes the power of the imperial court in Liaodong! Talking about things there symbolizes the power of Jiliao Inspector, and Inspector Sun has a home advantage.

After getting rid of Sun Chengzong, in Wei Bao's opinion, this matter has become at least one-third.

The other third is to get Wu Xiang, and then get all the big families in Liaodong through Wu Xiang! At that time, I won't worry about Zu Dashou's resistance.

The reason why Wei Bao didn't go to Zu Dashou for the first time, and didn't 'capture the thief and capture the king first' was mainly because he felt that no matter how much benefit he gave Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou might not agree, Zu Dashou In Wei Bao's view, he didn't care about millions of taels of silver, nor did he care about being able to get tens of millions of catties of pure grain from himself every year, what he cared about was his status in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and what he cared about was his right to speak.

Wei Bao felt that his practice of emptying all the people of Liaodong had touched Zu Dashou's right to speak, and after the matter was completed, his Wei Bao's right to speak in Liaodong in Liaoxi would definitely be roughly equivalent to Zu Dashou! After holding Liaonan again, implementing his plan of the 500-mile Great Wall, and completely beating Jiannu's forces out of southern Liaoning, his right to speak can even be above Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong!

This is something that Zu Dashou and even Mao Wenlong absolutely don't want to see!

Wei Bao doesn't consider Mao Wenlong now, because the traffic information in this era is blocked, and the people of Liaodong don't know that Mao Wenlong has begun to send people to him, and Mao Wenlong can't know that he actually has the ability to poach millions of Liao people from Liaodong and Zu Dashou!

Traffic congestion sometimes has the benefit of traffic congestion.

"You can live with me during this time, and after two days, go to Ningyuan with me, this Jinzhou City is not peaceful." Sun Chengzong didn't say it explicitly, but his intention to protect Wei Bao from being plotted by Zu Dashou was secretly expressed.

Wei Bao's heart warmed, and he agreed, looking like a good student.

Wei Bao left Sun Chengzong's place happily in his heart, preparing to move in with Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong then recruited his cronies to praise Mao Yuanyi and Jiang Yingzhao, and asked the two of them to personally go to Guannai to invite Wu Xiang to Ningyuan for discussion. sent two praise paintings, and they were cronies to praise paintings, mainly to show that this matter was grand, but Sun Chengzong did not say anything directly, nor did he say anything to the two praise paintings, only said that Wu Xiang must be invited.

Although Mao Yuanyi and Jiang Yingzhao are a little strange, with the dignity of the Inspector, why should they be so polite to Wu Xiang? But don't dare to slack off, and leave immediately.

A day later, they rushed to Shanhaiguan and arrived at Wu's mansion.

In the afternoon of the transition between summer and autumn, the weather is still very hot.

Wu Xuexia sat on a bench in the stone pavilion in the garden, playing Wei Bao's song 'Meow Meow, Let's learn cat meow together'.

I played the violin and hummed at the same time.

"We learn to meow together, meow meow together. Sprinkle in front of you, oops meow. My heart is pounding, I'm obsessed with your bad smile, and if you don't say you love me, I'll meow ......"

"Yo, are you still practicing?" Wu Sanfu didn't know when he was behind Wu Xuexia.

Wu Xuexia sighed: "Brother, what are you doing?" Want to scare people to death? ”

"Hehe, you are not so easy to be scared, and no one is as bold as you." Wu Sanfu said happily.

"Hmph, did you say that about your sister? Why didn't you go out today and fool around with your fox friends? Wu Xuexia pouted.

"Hehe, Xiao Poke is also my friend, is he also a fox friend?" Wu Sanfu said with a smile.

As soon as Wu Xuexia heard Wei Bao's name, she immediately put down the violin in her hand, "What's wrong with him?" Didn't he talk to Mao Wenlong about cooperation and go to do business in southern Liaoning? ”

"Huh, what? As soon as you hear Wei Bao's name, you are excited? Wu Sanfu laughed at his sister.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Who's going to do it? Wei Bao is also your fox friend and dog friend, and it is not a good thing. Wu Xuexia shook her head and turned her back to Wu Sanfu.

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "There were two people from Jinzhou City just now, but they weren't my uncle's people. ”

Wu Xuexia turned around curiously: "The person from Jinzhou is not my uncle's person?" Whose person could that be? ”

"It's someone sent by Master Sun to invite my father to Ningyuan to discuss matters." Wu Sanfu continued.

"This kind of thing, isn't it generally a big brother? The Inspector invited Daddy directly? That's weird. Wu Xuexia said curiously: "Did anyone say anything?" Daddy has always been here in Shanhaiguan, and he has no military position, what do you do when you go out of the customs? Do they want our family to donate food and silver? ”

"That's not it, I can't tell what the specific thing is, but they are all close to the Inspector, or a little wind, Wei Bao has arrived at the Inspector's side! It is very likely that this time I asked my father to go to the past, and it was related to Wei Bao. Wu Sanfu said with a smile.

"Something to do with Wei Bao? Wei Bao arrived in Jinzhou City? He should be in Golden State City, right? How is this Wei Bao running around? Wu Xuexia was very interested: "What does he want to do?" He couldn't have been arrested by his uncle and Zu Kefa, right? ”

"How do I know? It was impossible for his uncle to arrest him, especially since the Inspector was at the forefront. Besides, Wei Bao didn't take the initiative to send it to the door, and it was not easy for his uncle to arrest him. Wu Sanfu smiled: "How is it?" Tomorrow, when Daddy leaves, do you want to go together? ”

Wu Xuexia naturally wanted to go, her face flushed, "I'm just afraid that my father won't take me there." Moreover, Daddy has already promised to go to Ningyuan in person? Don't you consult with your uncle first? ”

"It's just a trip, and before you go, you must go to your uncle first, and you don't need to discuss it specially." Wu Sanfu said: "I haven't seen Wei Bao for a while, I miss it very much, I want to go and have fun." ”

"I'll go if you go, you can help me talk to my father, brother." Wu Xuexia stood up and held Wu Sanfu's hand coquettishly.

"The front line is all about discussing military and political affairs, and the people who go are all generals and big families, what are you going to do as a little girl?" Wu Sanfu asked knowingly.

Wu Xuexia blushed with shame: "If you don't help me tell my father, the 7,000 taels of silver you borrowed from me last time will be returned quickly." Otherwise, I'll tell my dad that you bet with my money, and you lose it all. ”

Although Wei Bao returned the Wu family's 120,000 taels of gold last time, the Wu family, including Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sangui and others, still bet sporadically, and everyone lost a lot. Wu Sanfu had no money, so he asked Wu Xuexia for the 7,000 taels of silver she borrowed. Wu Sanfeng lost a lot, losing more than 40,000 taels! Wu Xiang also lost an additional 30,000 taels of silver. Wu Sangui, who lost the least, also lost all the more than 1,000 taels of silver that he had saved with great difficulty.

But because Wei Bao has returned the largest 120,000 taels of gold to the Wu family, Wu Xiang is not embarrassed to ask for these 'small money', if he wants, it is estimated that he will be the same as other big families in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and he will return half of it after three years, so Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng and Wu Sangui, the three people who originally had a problem with Wei Bao, could not speak.

And Wu Sanfu's seven or eight thousand taels of silver is not too much, and less is not particularly little, and everything he bought is Wei Bao lost, so he is not very embarrassed to open his mouth to Wei Bao, especially Wu Sanfu knows that as long as he opens his mouth to Wei Bao, Wei Bao will definitely return it to him, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it is to open his mouth to ask for it.

"Wow, you dare to blackmail your brother." Wu Sanfu pretended to be angry and said, "I said Xuexia, brother, how do I treat you on weekdays?" Isn't it just a few thousand taels of silver? Are you pushing me like that? ”

"Brother, I'm not forcing you, you let my dad take me, how many days have I not been out?" Wu Xuexia said embarrassedly: "If my father takes me to Ningyuan this time, you can return the silver whenever you want." ”

"Hehe, isn't that going to be returned? When you marry Wei Bao five years later, are you still worried about not having any money? Now Wei Bao is one of the richest people in western Liaoning, and some people even say that Wei Bao's silver is more than our Wu family! Wu Sanfu then laughed.

"Brother, Wei Bao and I have never been engaged, who said that I would marry him in five years?" Wu Xuexia stomped her pink feet in shame.

"I was going to get married last time, and I temporarily calculated that Wei Bao was not suitable to talk about marriage in the past five years. Anyway, you and Wei Bao are still young, five years later, you will only be 20 years old, Wei Bao will only be 19 years old, and it will not be too late to get married. Wu Sanfu said with a smile.

"Five years from now, who can say? And it's not Wei Bao who nodded and agreed, it's you who have been picking it up, when I don't know. It's like I don't have anyone to want. Wu Xuexia said with a complicated mentality.

"Who said my sister no one wants it? Although Wei Bao is only a talent show at the moment, and the business is only known to us in Liaodong and Liaodong, and his reputation is not great, but I am optimistic that his future achievements will not be under the children of any family in Liaodong and Liaoning! Besides, don't you like Wei Bao? Wu Sanfu said with a smile.

"Who likes him anymore?" Wu Xuexia gave Wu Sanfu a roll of her eyes, and said angrily: "Brother, can you help me tell my father?" If you don't help, forget it, huh. ”

"Hehe, what are you doing with such a big temperament? I've already told you about it with your father! Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "Daddy heard that the Inspector personally sent someone to invite him, and found out that Wei Bao was by the Supervisor's side, so he guessed that it had something to do with you, so he agreed to take you with him." ”

Wu Xuexia immediately smiled: "You are necrotic, don't say it earlier, you always speak in half and half." ”

In fact, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were mistaken, and Sun Chengzong sent someone to invite Wu Xiang, but he didn't say anything. As for Mao Yuanyi and Jiang Yingzhao, they didn't intend to reveal that Wei Bao was by Sun Chengzong's side, it was Wu Xiang's cliché, asking about the war in Liaodong, and also asking about what had happened recently around the Inspector.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu felt that since Wei Bao was by Sun Chengzong's side, and Sun Chengzong personally sent someone to invite him, he must want to take the opportunity of this meeting to reach some kind of 'more stable' relationship with the Wu family in private, because Sun Chengzong is Wei Bao's teacher.

Even if Wei Bao is not suitable for marriage for the time being, but with Sun Chengzong coming forward, this matter can almost be regarded as a private decision, so the relationship between the Sun family and the Wu family in the future will be unusual.

Although Wu Xiang is based in Liaoxi and Liaodong, he is also willing to develop his contacts outward, after all, Sun Chengzong is not an ordinary man, as an emperor, regardless of seniority, prestige, or ability, he is at the level of thumbs in the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely not be bad to be able to climb this relationship.

In Wu Xiang's view, he has already recognized Wei Bao, if Wu Xuexia marries the children of any big family in Liaoxi and Liaodong, including Zu Kefa, there is nothing unusual, the Wu family's connections are still inseparable from the scope of Liaodong in Liaoxi, but if Sun Chengzong is on the line, with Sun Chengzong's age and health, as well as Sun Chengzong's foundation, at least for more than ten years, Sun Chengzong will still have a certain right to speak in the court, then, for the Wu family, for the children of the Wu family, it is an excellent thing.

After making a clear 'wishful thinking', the next day, Wu Xiang personally took Wu Sanfeng, Wu Sanfu, and Wu Xuexia to Jinzhou together, to see Zu Dashou in Jinzhou first, and then go to Ningyuan together!

"Dad, do you really think this Wei Bao is suitable?" Wu Sanfeng naturally understood his father's intentions, and his father actually took Wu Xuexia to travel together, and he had a stomach.

"What do you want to say?" Wu Xiang replied a little unhappily: "Your prejudice against Wei Bao is too deep!" ”

"No, have you ever thought that although Sun Chengzong is now the supervisor of Jiliao, but I heard that Gonggong Wei contacted a group of people to impeach him, how long Sun Chengzong can sit in the position of supervisor, no one can say! Moreover, Wei Bao went crazy and went to southern Liaoning to cooperate with Mao Wenlong, and also pasted a large amount of grain and grass, which is the enemy of our entire Liaodong households! Sooner or later, Liaonan is in the pocket of Jiannu, such a far-sighted madman, he doesn't know how to die in less than half a year! Have you thought about all this, Dad? Wu Sanfeng reminded.

Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia listened to Wu Sanfeng's words, although they were a little unconvinced, they also admitted that Wu Sanfeng was telling the truth and could not refute it, and when their father and eldest brother were talking, they generally couldn't take their turn to express their opinions.

"What you said makes sense, but the Governor personally invited you, why don't you go?" Wu Xiang said unhappily: "Moreover, what's wrong with me taking Xuexia on a trip?" What's in your way? ”

Wu Sanfeng was scolded by his father and didn't know how to speak for a long time.

After a while, Wu Xiang calmed down a little in the swaying of the carriage before he continued: "Even if Sun Chengzong may be ousted from the position of Jiliao Governor by Gonggong Wei, the identity of the emperor cannot be changed, and it can be seen from the attitude of His Majesty several times that he relies heavily on the old supervisor. Sun Chengzong's status is different from that of other past governors! Also, no matter whether Wei Bao can gain a firm foothold in southern Liaoning this time, a 14-year-old young man dares to do this, which is a very commendable thing in itself! What were you doing when you were 14? Can you think of so many things? Don't say that when you were 14 years old, let's just say that you are now in your thirties, do you have the bearing and means to cooperate with Mao Wenlong, and do you have the vision and courage to do business in southern Liaoning? You must know that once Wei Bao sits firmly in southern Liaoning, not to mention our Wu family, even if it is the ancestral family, it will no longer be able to suppress Wei Bao! ”

Wu Xiang has always admired the cooperation between Wei Bao and Mao Wenlong, but he has not mentioned it to anyone before, and now in the face of his two sons and daughters, there are no outsiders, so he said the truth.
