【0078 Encounter with the Zheng Family】
Wei Bao lay down and leaned in the luxury carriage, squinting at Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, who were stepping up the sewing of deerskin futons, and the soft white wolf fur cushion was very comfortable.
"Don't rush, take your time." Wei Bao yawned.
"Hurry up and sew it so you can cover it, it's still a little cold in this car, you definitely didn't rest well last night, and you haven't gone to bed all the time." Cover this and get a rest for a while. Fan Xiaolin smiled and said, "When did you carry the two of us to your bed?" ”
When Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya heard this, they both blushed, and looked at Fan Xiaolin together, Fan Xiaolin also felt that this sentence was a language problem, and her face was red, but she didn't take it seriously, anyway, at this point, she was already mentally prepared, she wanted to be Wei Bao's woman in this life, but now she just wants to wait for a 'good ranking'. Fan Xiaolin was just afraid that Wei Bao was 'not interested' in her, but she was not worried about anything else.
"I can't figure out the time, did you two sleep well last night?" Wei Bao asked indifferently.
"Well, it's good, I've never been so comfortable, it's different from the usual feeling at home, there are many people together, and I'm not with my parents, it's very interesting." Fan Xiaolin said with a smile.
"What about you?" Wei Bao saw that Wang Qiuya refused to speak more as always, so he took the initiative to ask her.
"I also slept very well, Xiaolin's body is warm, if I sleep alone, I can't sleep warmly in a quilt all night." Wang Qiuya blushed and said softly.
Fan Xiaolin smiled: "Really? I'm talking like firewood. ”
"If I sleep alone, I can't sleep under the covers all night." Wei Bao smiled: "It seems that neither of us has Xiaolin's strong blood. ”
"Because I love to move, I love to work, and as long as I love to work, I am not afraid of the cold." Fan Xiaolin shook her head proudly while embroidering the futon.
"Childe, it seems to be Zheng Jinfa's family in front."
At this time, Li Nan, who was driving the car, suddenly whispered outside.
Wei Bao sighed, lifted a small corner of the thick cotton curtain of the carriage to see, the whistling north wind immediately blew the curtains and shook more than once, on the side of the road was really Zheng Jinfa's family, I saw Zheng Zhongfei pushing a small wheelbarrow, Zheng Jinfa's wife supporting Zheng Jinfa who was limping, and the three of them walked in the snow with difficulty.
Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya also saw the three members of the Zheng family, but they didn't expect that the Zheng family, which was usually majestic in this armor, would now end up in such a situation, and they couldn't help but sigh.
Zheng Jin's fortune has at least nearly 100 taels of silver left, and he shouldn't be so downcast.
Because Wei Bao didn't embarrass them anymore, the cash they used to pay off the debt was only thirty or forty taels, and Wei Bao asked Chen Beihe and Jin Qiliang to divide the silver at that time.
It's only because all the things that can be sold at home for money are sold that there is only one wheelbarrow left.
"Stop." Wei Bao thought about it, but still issued an order.
"Yes, Childe." Li Nan heard Wei Bao's order outside, and hurriedly reined in the horse's reins: "Hoohoo!" The horse stopped.
Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya looked at Wei Bao, I don't know if Wei Bao wants to humiliate the Zheng family, Fan Xiaolin has nothing, Wang Qiuya's pink face is slightly red, although she and Zheng Zhongfei have nothing to do, but Wei Bao has doubts about her, she knows, and after all, they have known each other, after the Zheng family's accident, a person who hates the Zheng family and scolds the Zheng family, Wang Qiuya has the heart to take a look, but there is no way.
Wei Bao also looked at the two of them, didn't say anything, but got out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
The three members of the Zheng family who were walking saw clearly that the person who came was Wei Bao, but they didn't expect that this carriage was Wei Bao's carriage, and their expressions were immediately embarrassed.
Gao Du and Peng Mingbo, who were trotting behind, had already rushed to Wei Bao's side, and said 'Childe', thinking that Wei Bao was going to trouble the Zheng family, and glared at Zheng Jinfa together! The Zheng family is in Benjia, and there is no family that does not hate their family, maybe Wang Qiuya and a few girls do not have this feeling, and the girls are not at home after all.
"Wei Bao? What are you doing? Zheng Zhongfei saw that after Wei Bao got out of the car, he stood in front of him and didn't speak, and couldn't help but ask nervously, thinking that Wei Bao was going to call someone to beat them.
"You didn't have to leave Jiali, it was you who made trouble for me at the beginning, but I didn't expect God to protect you, but retribution on yourself, now that the retribution has passed, you just need to be a good person again, and you can start again." Wei Bao said indifferently, "I didn't get out of the car to humiliate you, I wanted to ask if you needed help?" It's freezing on this day, out of the Golden Mountain, everyone is a folk! ”
Zheng Jinfa, Zheng Jinfa's wife, and Zheng Zhongfei didn't expect Wei Bao to say this, the word 'folks' is particularly piercing the ears, and they are all red-faced, half of them are frozen by the north wind, and half of them are really eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. The father and son of the Zheng family asked themselves if the current situation was reversed, they would definitely fall into the well and hit Wei Bao hard, but they didn't expect Wei Bao to be so magnanimous.
"No need, thank you, we are like this now, it is indeed our own fault, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, days, and life. You are young, and you have never gone to school, and you have only been to Shanhaiguan once, and you know a group of big people with a background to help you, this is when your Wei family makes a fortune! My Zheng family is like this now, and I admit it! Zheng Jinfa has already been determined to disappear, skinny like a septuagenarian, and even looking at Wei Bao's eyes, there is not much resentment, but as if he has seen through the red dust, as if he is in another world.
Wei Bao sighed: "On this cold day, I'll take you for a ride, get in the car, and let my two followers push the wheelbarrow for you!" Are you going to Shanhaiguan? ”
When Zheng Zhongfei heard this, he looked at Wei Bao's carriage enviously, his father was stingy, his family couldn't afford to buy a carriage, but he never had it, the only mule cart was sold to Zhao Li's family yesterday, Zheng Zhongfei really wanted to take a carriage, this cold day, he is a pampered person, where can he bear the bitter cold situation of walking in the snow with a cart?
"We're going to Shanhaiguan, but thank you, we don't have to take a car, we can go by ourselves." Zheng Jinfa said firmly: "As long as my family Zhongfei can fight for a breath, no matter how difficult the road is, I can walk down!" ”
Wei Bao looked at Zheng Jinfa, and then looked at Zheng Jinfa's wife and Zheng Zhongfei, Zheng Jinfa's wife also wanted to take Wei Bao's carriage, and kept holding Zheng Jinfa's arm, and the person was a lot older all of a sudden, Zheng Zhongfei's eyes touched Wei Bao, but he quickly turned his gaze away, even if Wei Bao made their family like this, but the three members of the Zheng family, now standing with Wei Bao, are much more ashamed than resentful, this is a very strange picture.
Wei Bao saw that Zheng Jinfa was so resolute, and he no longer persuaded him, he didn't feel sorry for the Zheng family, although he was the final winner, but if he lost now, he knew that his family would be much worse than the Zheng family! Wei Bao returned to the car expressionlessly and said softly: "Let's go!" ”
Li Nan drove the carriage and shouted twice: "Drive!" ”
The carriage restarted, and after Gao Du and Peng Mingbo glared at the three members of the Zheng family, they continued to trot with the carriage. felt that running was a hundred times better than the three members of the Zheng family, pushing the car in the cold weather, and the three members of the Zheng family who stumbled made Gao Du, Peng Mingbo and Li Nan happy in their hearts, and there was a feeling of surpassing the first chief.
The three of them will drive, and they have agreed that everyone will rush for a while, and take turns to run, to say that the three of them all sit in front and sit down, but on such a cold day, sitting in front of the wind, it is not necessarily more comfortable than trotting.
Wei Bao returned to the car, Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya didn't say anything, Wei Bao glanced at Wang Qiuya.
"See what I'm doing? I have nothing to do with Zheng Zhongfei's family, and now Xiaolin is also here, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaolin. Wang Qiuya couldn't help but say.
"You have a point, if there really is nothing, why do you have to explain?" Wei Bao smiled slightly: "I'm a very generous person, it doesn't matter what I have." ”
Wei Bao was used to laughing, but Wang Qiuya didn't think so, hearing Wei Bao say this again, and talking about himself in front of Fan Xiaolin, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she blocked her mouth and nose with her backhand, and then cried, "Where did I explain?" What am I going to explain to you? will bully people. ”
"Qiu Ya and Zheng Zhongfei really don't have anything, I can testify, Zheng Zhongfei looked for the girl in the first place everywhere to talk about it, and said a lot of good things to me, no one paid attention to him." Fan Xiaolin stopped the needlework in her hand and helped Wang Qiuya speak, "If Qiuya and Zheng Zhongfei have anything, people like Zheng Zhongfei must go everywhere." ”
Wang Qiuya didn't expect Zheng Zhongfei to say similar things to Fan Xiaolin, she was ashamed and angry, and her tears fell faster.
Wei Bao looked at the expression of the second daughter in his eyes, which was both funny and melancholy, feeling that it was not only Wang Qiuya, but even Fan Xiaolin, who had originally imagined becoming Zheng Zhongfei's daughter-in-law. In the end, it is still good to have money, which era is the same, if it is not for the rebirth with a bunch of materials and a large warship, even if he wants to develop to the scale of a small landlord, it will take at least a year or more, in this year, I don't know what kind of ghost I want to be pressed into by people like Zheng Zhongfei, at this time, things are reversed so quickly.
Because the speed of reversal is fast enough, Wei Bao is also more vigilant about the upcoming Shanhaiguan and the upcoming matter of seeking customs clearance, and can't help but cast a shadow in his heart, how big is the difference between classes!? How difficult it is for a small landlord to get the contact information of the Sanpin class!?
Listening to the whistling north wind outside the window, it was very warm in the carriage, but Wei Bao's heart still felt a chill, time and space changed, but the situation of people in the struggle remained the same, every step in the struggle, had to go through hesitation, stubbornly bury their heads forward, and go through such a step-by-step tempering process to dispel their own doubts.
Steel is made by burning in a blazing fire and in a high degree of cooling, so it is strong. Everyone is tempered in struggles and hard trials, and then slowly learns to never lose heart in life. Those who are discouraged will gradually be eliminated and reduced to ordinary pieces of iron.
It didn't take long for the carriage to enter Shanhaiguan, and Wei Bao asked him to go to the ready-to-wear shop first, and he wanted to buy clothes for the three new entrants and Wang Qiuya.
Last time, I just bought it for Fan Xiaolin and Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, and Fan Tou, but I haven't bought it for Wang Qiuya.
"You can help your brother pick out a set of clothes, he has done well in the past two days, as long as he is willing to do things, can do things, and is willing to work hard, I will see it in my eyes." Wei Bao said to Fan Xiaolin.
"Well, my brother would be happy if he knew that Xiaobao was so much about him." Fan Xiaolin smiled and pulled Wang Qiuya: "Get out of the car, I'll help you choose a dress, and it will be beautiful and warm when you put it on." ”
Wang Qiuya blushed, looked at Wei Bao, and was pulled out of the car by Fan Xiaolin, there is no girl who doesn't like to be beautiful, although Wang Qiuya's appearance is slightly better than Fan Xiaolin, but Fan Xiaolin is wearing new clothes at this time, Wang Qiuya looks like Fan Xiaolin's maid, and she has been unconvinced.
Li Nan, Gao Du and Peng Mingbo heard that Gongzi rewarded them and asked them to buy a pair of clothes, and they were even more happy to thank them.
"Go pick out your clothes, hurry up a bit. Let Fan Xiaolin give you ideas. Wei Baole said hehehe. He didn't want to get out of the carriage, he still sat by the window, and covered his body with the deerskin futon that Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya had just sewn, it was very warm, and it was very fast for people to enter a role, Wei Bao was really a small landlord everywhere now.
"Yes, Childe." Li Nan, Gao Du and Peng Mingbo happily agreed.
After a stick of incense, Wang Qiuya and Li Nan and Gao Du. Peng Mingbo and the four of them all took on a new look.
Especially Wang Qiuya, with Fan Xiaolin's 'support', from top to bottom, from head to toe, all are new, originally Wang Qiuya refused to buy shoes, Fan Xiaolin also insisted on buying a pair for Wang Qiuya, and the three Suihu were just adding a set of padded jackets outside.
"Isn't it good?" Fan Xiaolin asked Wei Bao with a smile: "I chose it for Qiu Ya." ”
"Well, it's good-looking!" Wei Bao narrowed his eyes and commented on Wang Qiuya's figure with an evil gaze.
Wang Qiuya's pear blossom white jacket skirt and Fan Xiaolin's crimson jacket skirt complement each other, each with its own merits, both of them are extremely good-looking, and now that the two of them are by Wei Bao's side, they really look like a rich woman.
saw appreciation from Wei Bao's gaze, which satisfied Wang Qiuya's vanity, blushing and pink-faced, pursed her mouth, as if smiling, wearing new clothes and new shoes, her body was warm, and her heart was also very open, she was also like Fan Xiaolin, in addition to being a little entangled in the issue of 'good ranking', she had already decided that she was going to become Wei Bao's woman.
"I said Xiaobao would like it, right? Hehe. Fan Xiaolin laughed in Wang Qiuya's ear in a low voice, causing Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin to fight softly for a while.
The next place to go is Wu Shien's shop-Shi'en Fang, Wei Bao has nothing to ask for directions, only to find Wu Shien, but before going this time, Wei Bao was not empty-handed, and deliberately asked Fan Xiaolin to buy a few gift boxes of dim sum when he passed by a dim sum shop.
The gift boxes of this era are indeed similar to those seen in the TV series, that is, red, green, blue, these colored cartons, and then write the words on red paper, such and such a cake shop.
A few boxes are lifted together and tied with rope, which also looks good.
"Do you want us to stay with you?" Fan Xiaolin asked.
"No, you guys are around and you look like a playboy." Wei Bao thought for a moment and replied with a slight smile.
"Hmph, you're a playboy." Fan Xiaolin covered her mouth and said with a smile, which provoked Wang Qiuya to purse her lips and smile.
Wei Bao got out of the carriage and didn't let Li Nan, Gao Du and Peng Mingbo follow, let them wait outside the door, and came to the door alone with the gift box.
Wu Youzi, the big guy in Wu Shien's shop, arrived with Wei Bao and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Hello Wei Gongzi." ”
"Well, little brother, is Boss Wu here?" Wei Bao laughed.
"Here, just now our shopkeeper was still talking about Wei Gongzi, saying that Wei Gongzi should come over." Wu Youzi said with a smile.
"Oh? Talking about me? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Have I sold all my stuff? Wei Bao couldn't help but think of the small wine glass given by the box of mid-range wine that he put on sale in Wu Shien's store, put it in modern times, a box is at most five yuan, I don't know how much silver it can be sold for in Daming?
"I don't know, Nian Nazi, I don't think it's a bad thing, right?" Wu Youzi smiled slyly and refused to say more.
Wei Bao nodded and stopped asking Wu Youzi. Secretly thinking about his subordinates, maybe Fan Datou alone has Wu Youzi to be so sleek, doing business, cultivating the team, these things are not effective in the short term, the most important thing is the cultivation of the backbone of the team, Luo San stunned and Liu Chunshi They have to practice, and they have to work harder.
When Wu Shien saw Wei Bao coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master Wei is here." ”
"You're polite, Boss Wu is too polite." Wei Bao smiled and unveiled the dim sum, "Every time I come empty-handed, this time I brought some dim sum to Boss Wu to taste." Now it's lunchtime, just invite Boss Wu to go to Shanhailou to drink. ”
"Hehe, Wei Gongzi is polite. I was just thinking about whether it was time for Mr. Wei to come to me. Don't be in a hurry to go to Shanhailou, I have something important to tell Wei Gongzi here. Wu Shien said with a smile.
Wei Bao saw Wu Shien's strange expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I don't know why Wu Shien looks a little different today than before, with his understanding of Wu Shien, Wu Shien is a good drinker, he said that he wanted to have a treat, he must have gone with him immediately, and there is something to eat and talk about at the wine table.
However, Wei Bao just said 'yes' indifferently.
"Master Wei, please come inside." Wu Shien made a gesture of invitation, and said to Wu Youzi: "I'll talk to Wei Gongzi about something, and if someone comes to me, they say I'm out." ”
"Yes, sir." Wu Youzi hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
When Wei Bao saw Wu Shien's solemn appearance, he was even more drumming in his heart, and he didn't know what Wu Shien wanted to say to himself?
