【0225 Festive Feast】
Wu Xiang frowned and thought about the way to fight back, but he didn't expect Wei Bao to say a fluttering word, so he pushed the iron and copper matters on the heads of Jinyi Weitian Ergeng, Luo Sigong, and Luo Yangxing? These people are all big people, they can't invite them to confront each other for such a small thing, it's impossible to do it, secretly thinking that Wei Bao, this kid, is so tactful, young but not scheming, it's really hateful!
At the same time, Wu Xiang was angry and funny, and secretly cherished Wei Bao's talent, thinking that when he was like Wei Bao's age, he didn't say that he was so quick and sensitive, it was this temperament, in front of many officials, especially in front of him without stage fright, it was very commendable, that is, in the entire Liaoxi officialdom, there are not many rich people who dare to talk to themselves like this, especially those people are usually over the age of confusion, and Wei Baocai is just a weak-crowned boy, younger than his own Xuexia. It's really, rare, rare!
Wu Xiang himself didn't know how he could have cherished Wei Bao's talent, and originally thought that he should hate this young man to the bone, but he didn't seem to be very annoyed, and his face was always very gentle.
The most important thing is that he originally felt that there should be some kind of force behind Wei Bao supporting him, but now that he has been monitored for a while, coupled with his own judgment, he denies this idea, and feels that Wei Bao's rise is caused by Wei Bao's personal ability. Therefore, the hostility towards Wei Bao has been reduced a lot. After all, there are young talents emerging in the local area, and outsiders come to Liaoxi to seize the territory of influence, which is two different things.
Wu Xuexia peeked at her father's face, and saw a faint smile between her father's eyebrows, she was very surprised, and thought that her father was confused by Wei Bao, right?
"You said that it was sent by Jinyiwei, and it was sent by Jinyiwei? Naturally, we'll go to someone to prove it! Wu Sanfeng said angrily: "There is also the matter of poisonous mist, we will definitely be able to find out!" ”
Wei Bao didn't speak, and nodded slightly, meaning that even if you went to check, you didn't care at all.
Wu Xiangxin knew that he couldn't help Wei Bao, but let Wu Sanfeng punish Wei Bao with official authority, and let Wei Bao know that he knew about the ground in western Liaoning, no one dared to talk to him like this, and it was good to dare to not give him face to the Wu family like this, so he took the opportunity to nod and said: "Sanfeng, in this case, you and several adults in charge of the affairs of the township under the command of the Wei Command Department will take the soldiers to check whether there are any bad deeds in the local area." For the father and the elders of the family to go back first. ”
Wu Sanfeng didn't expect that his father would hand over the trouble for Wei Bao back to himself so casually? At the beginning, he was grounded at home by his father, and he lost face at home, and he also lost face with some acquaintances, because he was grounded for a few days, everyone knew that it was because he couldn't fight a village boy, and at this time he had the opportunity to fight Wei Bao again, so he was naturally willing, so he was very happy.
But Wu Sanfeng no longer dared to despise Wei Bao at this time, and secretly wondered if his father didn't say how to get Wei Bao? If my father can't do it? Can I do it? So, now there are mixed joys and sorrows.
Wu Sanfeng clenched his fists in a complicated mood and agreed: "Yes, Dad." ”
"Dad, I want to be with my eldest brother." Wu Xuexia said coquettishly.
Wu Xiang frowned, his daughter, naturally, is a daughter, where is the good always come out to show up, what has become of this? In the past, Wu Xuexia only came out two or three times a year, and each time she only went back in an hour, but now for Wei Bao's affairs, Wu Xuexia has come out twice! "No, you go back with your father."
"Daddy." Wu Xuexia stomped her pink feet, held Wu Xiang's arm, and said again.
This coquettish sentence almost called Wei Bao's soul out, and I thought that Wu Xuexia, a little man's wife, would only be fierce, but in front of her father, she was like a little sheep? Automatically added Ya Yan in front of Wu Xuexia's father, if it is Ya Yan Daddy, it must sound good, hehe.
"Dad, just let Xuexia stay, I'll take care of her." Wu Sanfeng spoke for his sister, and he originally doted on this sister, because there was only one girl in the Wu family, and the whole family regarded her as a pearl. In addition, Wu Xuexia ran around for his affairs last time, and dealt with Wei Bao and Luo Yang, which also made Wu Sanfeng more spoiled his sister during this time.
Wu Xiang still gave his eldest son face outside, thinking that Wu Xuexia was careful, Wu Sanfeng was careless, if there was anything, the two of them could discuss with each other, so they nodded and agreed.
"In the past few days, you will temporarily live in Zhao Lizheng's house in Jinshan, he has a good relationship with our family." Wu Xiang said it, and said softly to Wu Xuexia: "Start with the matter of poisonous fog, we have never heard of any miasma, I think, this is most likely Wei Bao's fame!" If you want to burn out the miasma, there must be herbs, no matter how well you hide them, there will always be some medicine residues, and if you find out that there are a lot of poisonous herbs hidden in his armor, you can deal with him. If you really can't find Wei Bao's stubble, forget it, and go back in two or three days. When the time comes, if your brother refuses to leave, he will say that his father said it. ”
Wu Xiang explained in detail.
Wu Xuexia nodded in agreement, and said in Wu Xiang's ear: "Dad, don't worry, my eldest brother and I can handle it." ”
Wu Xiang patted the back of Wu Xuexia's little hand.
After Wu Xiang took a few people away, Wu Xuexia looked at Wei Bao coldly: "Hmph, don't be too proud!" My eldest brother will punish you, the scourge of the country! ”
Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, Lao Tzu is a 'scourge'? Your eldest brother is the scourge, and your father is the scourge, right? Look at a Yongping Mansion in a good end and a Liaoxi in a good end, what has happened to your family?
Yes, you have monopolized the economy, and your family is hugely rich, but what about the common people in this area?
What about the people inside the Guan, the people in Beizhili, the people in Liaoxi, and the Han people outside the Guan? After suffering hundreds of thousands of people, you are a bunch of moths, and I don't know where you got your self-confidence, saying that your eldest brother is like a great hero to save the world?
Your whole family is a scourge king! Are you embarrassed to say it to others?
However, Wei Bao didn't quarrel with a little girl in public, just smiled slightly and left.
Although he was annoyed that Wu Xiang left Wu Sanfeng and Wu Xuexia to continue to find trouble for himself, he was helpless.
Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to grow old!
Wei Bao never thought about which side he wanted to rely on, so he never thought of bowing to a local super predator like the Wu family! He believes only in his own ears!
Wei Bao only believes in the accumulation of his own strength, and does not believe in anything else.
Wu Xuexia saw that Wei Bao was silent, turned around and left, it was very strange, originally with her understanding of Wei Bao, she knew that Wei Bao was not a disadvantage, and she would definitely quarrel with herself, which was exactly what she wanted. couldn't help but stomp his pink feet in annoyance: "Hey, I said you were a scourge, didn't you hear?" Great scourge! ”
Wei Bao turned around and said, "Am I a great scourge? Where have I done to you? What has plagued you? ”
Wei Bao's words caused a group of people in his escort team to laugh, and they laughed one by one.
The army system under Wei Bao is temporarily divided into five parts, half of which is the nature of the garrison force of the escort team, and half is Lin Wenbiao's statistics office, which belongs to the special service system. These two parts now account for the total number of people. In the future, it is necessary to separate field troops from the garrison units to specialize in field operations, and the field units will also be divided into cavalry and infantry, and a separate naval system will be built.
Regardless of whether he wants to rebel or not, Wei Bao's pace of building the army has always been in full swing, whether it is upgrading chemical technology, developing ammunition, or engaging in industrial and agricultural products to make money, all of them are carried out around the construction of the army.
Expanding prestige and territory, including wanting to take the imperial examination and taking the imperial examination route, these are to expand the scope of influence and expand influence.
Turf, prestige and force, these three points are the direction that Wei Bao personally believes is to strengthen his own strength. Now he thinks that he has a certain territory, a certain prestige, and a certain amount of force, so he has no need to be afraid of anyone in his own territory.
The people in the escort team are more rugged than the people in the Military Industry Department, and the discipline is not so strong.
Wu Xuexia tugged on Wu Sanfeng's sleeve angrily: "Brother, someone is bullying me!" ”
Wu Sanfeng was already furious: "Wei Bao, are you going to die?" Dare to play Lao Tzu's sister? ”
Wei Bao's escorts, although they were all dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of the common people, were slightly inferior in clothing, but their temperament, sturdiness, and fierceness were not lost to these armor soldiers of the Wei Command Division, and a confrontation situation quickly formed between the two sides.
With Wu Sanfeng's loud shout, dozens of armorers in bright silver armor rushed forward together.
"Hey, Master Wu, you're a little unreasonable, aren't you? It was your sister who kept saying that I was a great scourge, so I asked me where I had harmed her. Wei Bao smiled and looked ruffian, looking at Wu Sanfeng for a while, looking at Wu Xuexia for a while, not taking these two brothers and sisters in his eyes at all, Wu Xiang is gone, the big boss is gone, and I'm afraid that the two of you little bosses won't succeed?
Wu Sanfeng's scalp exploded, and he really wanted people to lock up Wei Bao now, grab him and beat him hard, but when he saw more than 100 people around Wei Bao, it seemed that he could pounce on them at any time! I really don't dare to give orders randomly.
Wu Xuexia said angrily: "Brother, ask someone to arrest this guy first!" I'll see if they really dare to beat the court tolerance! ”
Wu Xuexia seemed to be unreasonable, but in fact, she was thoughtful, and knew that her father had nothing to do with Wei Bao, so she let them stay and find Wei Bao's discomfort, she didn't believe that Wei Bao dared to kill them anyway.
Wu Sanfeng couldn't do it at home, but after he came out, he still looked ahead and backward, afraid of this and that, and pointed at Wei Bao and said sharply: "Wei Bao! You wait for me, I will find out your illegal evidence and bring you to justice! ”
Poof.
Wei Bao finally didn't hold back his laughter, laughed out loud, he had already prepared, looking at the training level of his subordinates during this time, he was ready to teach the officers and soldiers of the Wei Command Department a lesson with two hundred people, but he didn't expect that the eldest prince Wu was actually cowardly?
"Welcome, just check it out, didn't I say that to Lord Wu Xiang just now?" Wei Bao laughed.
"Brother." Wu Xuexia snorted with a ruddy little mouth, glared at the eldest brother, I didn't expect Wu Sanfeng to go outside, actually like this? Even a village boy didn't dare to do it, and when he saw Wei Bao's arrogant appearance, he almost didn't blow up his lungs.
"Don't call me brother, Xuexia, I have to say two words to you, you are one of the best young ladies in the Ming Dynasty, can't you be more reserved and make less trouble for the family? Do you think that the eldest son of Wu is more knowledgeable? And your father, Lord Wu, come to the township to make a show, just go through the motions, why do you always look bitter and hateful? Don't always think about pressing people, everyone is friends, and it's not fun to play together in the future? Wei Bao smiled and said in a serious tone, "By the way, it's all here, let these adults and soldiers eat some at will, right?" How about Mr. Wu and Miss Wu inviting me to my house for dinner? The storage is better than the food in Haiyang Town, not to mention running back and forth, and there are no decent restaurants there. I'm a celebrity chef here. ”
Wu Xuexia originally wanted to teach a lesson and provoke Wei Bao, but she didn't expect to provoke Wei Bao's tirade, it seems that she also took advantage of herself, she called her eldest brother, but she didn't call him eldest brother, but Wei Bao said such a big thing, and now I don't know whether to mention this stubble again.
Wu Sanfeng and Wu Xuexia have not yet expressed their stance on Wei Bao's invitation, and the officers and soldiers of the Wei Command Department they called, as well as several officials, are used to eating and drinking, and they can't do any heavy work, and they can't endure hardships. thanked Mr. Wei for his hospitality.
Just now, these people looked like they were going to fight, but they were just pretending, using the official skin on their bodies to scare people, and no one could really fight them. It was precisely because Wu Sanfeng understood this very well that he did not dare to give the order.
The officers and soldiers of the guard station could not catch up with the hundreds of private soldiers raised by the Wu family, and in this era, the higher the degree of privatization, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and the more the army of the imperial court, the weaker the combat effectiveness, just sounding, tall and high.
Wei Bao smiled: "You're welcome, I have an extraordinary relationship with the Wu family, otherwise Lord Wu wouldn't have thought about coming to me often." ”
"Who has a different relationship with your family." Wu Xuexia pulled Wu Sanfeng angrily, "Brother, don't pay attention to him, let's go." ”
"If you come, you will be safe, since Wei Gongzi is so enthusiastic, let's eat here." Wu Sanfeng changed his face. Mainly to take care of a group of officers and soldiers, and a few officials, if you go to Haiyang Town to eat, spend effort back and forth, blowing cold wind, not to mention, most of the cost has to be counted on his head, it is better to eat Wei Bao here to take advantage.
Wu Xuexia saw Wu Sanfeng's thoughts, and said angrily: "Anyway, I won't eat his family's things when I die." ”
Wu Sanfeng nodded, and then said to the two attendants behind him: "You first send the eldest lady to Zhao Lizheng's house to rest." ”
Just now, when Wu Xiang was leaving, he ordered them to stay at Zhao Kehu's house for the past few days. Wu Xiang has a good relationship with several Li Zheng, because Zhao Kehu is Li Zheng in Jinshan, so it is arranged like this. In the end, the official government of the health office does not need to spend money on its own, and generally lives in the house of Lizheng or the head of Jia, and it is also a very honorable thing to receive government personnel, and the local rich families are willing to pay filial piety, so as to get in touch.
"Let's go together, it's stinky here, what's delicious?" Wu Xuexia insisted.
Wu Sanfeng couldn't resist his sister, so he had to persuade everyone to go to Haiyang Town for dinner first, because he went to Zhao Kehu's house temporarily, and he was afraid that people would not be prepared, so he sent someone to spread the word first. Wu Xuexia gave up.
Wei Bao didn't care, he said that it was better not to eat here from Lao Tzu, and he saved a fortune.
After Wu Sanfeng, Wu Xuexia, and a few officials of the Wei Command Embassy, and fifty or sixty guards of the Wei Command Envoy left, Wei Bao didn't stay at the State Guest House anymore, and asked Xu Rui to hand over the rest of the matter to the low-level maids, and let her hurry back to take a shower and rest.
"I'm not tired." Xu Rui smiled slightly, but she also felt that her body was smoked by the smell of the sky, and girls love to be clean, so she happily agreed to Wei Bao's request.
"That's good for Rui'er." Fan Xiaolin said.
Xu Ruifen blushed and defended softly: "No, the son is also very good to Sister Xiaolin and Sister Qiu Ya." ”
"Don't fight, anyway, Xiaobao has already said that he wants to ......" Fan Xiaolin originally wanted to say that Wei Bao said that he wanted to marry Zhao Jinfeng to Zhao Kehu, but suddenly remembered that only Wei Bao and her, as well as Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya, knew about this matter, and it was still in the category of confidentiality, so she hurriedly stopped talking.
Wei Bao was not too nervous about this matter, and he did not plan to talk about it with anyone, nor did he plan to keep it secret.
Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui suddenly understood what Fan Xiaolin had not finished speaking.
"Let's go back and eat, it's all at this point, the president must be hungry." Wang Qiuya reminded softly.
"Go back." Wei Bao smiled, he was in a good mood, and he had completed four miles of land at once, and he didn't have a very refreshing feeling until this moment. Because, he found that the Wu family didn't seem to have much to do with him now.
As soon as I arrived at the edge of my house, I saw Wei Dakang, Huang Ying, Fan Lao Pimple and his wife, Wang Zhihui and his wife, and several neighbors who had a good relationship with Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, who were already waiting there.
"Why are you standing here, have you eaten?" Wei Bao asked with a smile. It's strange that they wouldn't come to see the excitement when it's so lively today.
"We're very busy right now, and we have to grow seeds. And aren't you not forbidding us to go and get involved in your business? How dare your mother and I go over to see it? What's going on at the State Guest House? So many people? Vedacom asked.
"Don't ask, Xiaobao hasn't eaten yet." Huang Ying pulled Wei Bao's arm with a doting expression: "Little Baozi, are you hungry?" ”
Little Poko? Well, Lao Tzu is not a eunuch.
Wei Bao smiled: "Mother, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat." ”
"I know you haven't eaten yet, and now let the cook make it, where can you catch up? I told them to prepare it, and go to our place to eat, but we didn't eat either. Huang Ying smiled.
"Okay." Wei Bao agreed very happily.
This made Huang Ying feel very good, I don't know if Wei Bao is particularly happy today? "Xiaobao, is there any joy today? You can't stop laughing on your face. ”
"Yes?" Wei Bao touched his pink little face and said with a grin.
"Xiaolin, what's the matter?" Huang Ying knew that she couldn't ask Wei Bao anything, so she asked Fan Xiaolin.
Fan Xiaolin looked at Wei Bao, and Wei Bao nodded.
Fan Xiaolin knew that Wei Bao agreed to say it, and said excitedly: "Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei, father, mother, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, do you know?" Now all the land in Dongbaitali, Xinqueli, Jinshanli, and Houmafang is President Wei's! ”
Yes?
Huang Ying and Wei Dakang hugged their mouths in fright, Fan Lao Pimple, Fan Lao Pimple's wife, Wang Zhihui, Wang Zhihui's wife, and a few neighbors who were good friends with Wei Dakang Huang Ying, their eyes widened one by one, and their mouths could be stuffed with eggs, in this world, I am afraid that there is no news that can catch up with what surprised them so much at this moment.
This is something that is unimaginable, even more impossible, impossible to do!
Dongbaitali, Xinqueli, Jinshanli, Houmafang's Li Zheng and Jia Chang, rich households, will they sell all the land to Xiaobao?
How is this possible?
Wei Bao looked at Huang Ying and Wei Dakang, and saw that the two of them were no longer walking, as if they had been clicked on the acupoints, and stood on the spot in a daze.
"Dad, mother, don't be scary." Wei Bao shook the arms of the two men.
Wei Dakang and Huang Ying came back to their senses, and Huang Ying took the lead in asking, "Xiaobao, is what Xiaolin said true?" ”
"It's true." Wei Bao smiled slightly.
"Oh my God!" Huang Ying said.
"Oh my God!" Wei Dakang followed.
Wei Bao smiled: "What's the big deal?" Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry. ”
"Isn't that a big deal?" Huang Ying's voice choked, his eyes turned red, thinking that a month ago, the family was still struggling with whether to go out to escape the famine, and now he has so much land at once and has become the largest landlord in the local area? It's like a world away.
Wei Dakang and the others also felt the same way, everyone looked at Wei Bao's eyes, and they couldn't take their eyes off at all, looking at Wei Bao as if they were looking at a fairy.
Wei Bao smiled: "Don't look at people like this, it's weird." ”
"Eat, eat, eat." Huang Ying smiled happily: "Let the cook add a few dishes, and let you drink today!" ”
Although the Wei family is now a wealthy family, Huang Ying only lets Wei Dakang and a few old friends drink once every ten days, and he can only drink one wine bottle at a time.
When everyone heard Huang Ying say this, they all cheered.
Fan Lao pimple smiled and said, "Brother and sister, how many wine pots are you drinking today?" Xiaobao is such a big happy event, should it be celebrated? ”
"Whatever you want, it's okay to drink to death!" Huang Ying covered her mouth and smiled.
Everyone cheered again when they heard that Huang Ying did not limit the amount of wine.
This meal, everyone ate happily.
When Xu Rui came back from taking a bath, Wei Bao deliberately asked Xu Rui to sit next to him and let Xu Rui also drink.
Xu Rui's drinking volume was practiced in Yihong Courtyard, but after she arrived in Jinshan, she was like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, and no one could tell that she was once the top brand of the Qinglou.
"Is it a bath with the soap I brought? My hair and body smell so good. Wei Bao said softly with a smile.
Xu Rui was drunk when she heard this, her beautiful eyes glanced at Wei Bao, and she felt that there was some mud between her plump legs, and she couldn't wait to go to the room with her son to 'help each other'.
Wei Bao couldn't stand Xu Rui's watery eyes the most, and he couldn't tell whether she was innocent or the result of long-term training, anyway, it was extremely useful.
Any man who sees a woman with this kind of look at himself will be useful.
Especially a big beauty like Xu Rui, it can make men have a full sense of pride and achievement!
Wei Bao secretly pinched Xu Rui's plump and soft powder, making Xu Rui's pink face even more crimson and delicate, her body twisted slightly, and her whole body seemed to be able to speak.
The men present were all attracted by the delicate appearance of Xu Rui, who had just taken a bath next to Wei Bao, and even Wei Dakang, Wang Zhihui and Fan Laopimple, the three older men, couldn't help but look at it twice.
The daughters-in-law of the three were naturally unhappy, and they all turned their men in vain.
Wang Zhihui saw Wei Bao and Xu Rui drinking each other, Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui sat next to Wei Bao one by one, Wang Qiuya and Wei Bao were separated by a Xu Rui, looking a little lonely, uncomfortable, and suddenly remembered the matter of proposing to Wei Dakang a month ago, I don't know where the courage came from, or the strength of the wine rushed, and toasted to Wei Dakang: "Brother Dakang!" ”
Wei Dakang saw Wang Zhihui toasting, and picked up the wine cup with a smile: "Lao Wang, they are all their own brothers, don't be so polite, right?" ”
"Before drinking this glass, I have something to say." Wang Zhihui said solemnly.
Everyone present listened to Wang Zhihui say so solemnly, and they probably guessed what he was going to say.
