It's been a long time since the end of the year, and it's about to be spring.

Looking at the clear sky outside, Wu Lao Er sighed heavily.

The so-called mission has been back for a long time, and Wu Lao Er has been a low-key person. Jin Yiwei's affairs generally don't need him to deal with, and the affairs of the palace have also been on track, and the more than two months are nothing more than practicing martial arts, and he has nothing to do with King Zhao, and the happiest thing is to receive a letter from his fiancée Xia Keke. The two often exchanged letters, and the capital was not far away anyway.

"Master, the money gang leader of the Four Seas Gang asks to see you." Butler Fauber called softly outside.

Yes, nineteen-year-old man, this is a normal thing. As long as you add a crown, pass the coming-of-age ceremony, and open your own mansion, the next person will call you master. This 'master' is not exclusive to very old people, nor is it as some people think, he is obviously the head of the family, but he lets his subordinates call themselves young masters and sons, that is not a habit, it is pretending to be tender! Of course, it's normal for other people to call you Young Master Gongzi or something, but the housekeeper of your own family must be called Master, even if Daddy Wu is here, it is not easy to do it, he can only be an old lady!

Wu Lao Er smiled faintly and said, "Serve tea in the side hall, I'll go over." ”

After coming back from Baishan City a while ago, Wu Lao Er asked Qian Ningwang to help him check some things, and it seems that he has eyebrows! Tugged at his rolled up sleeves and walked towards the side hall.

Qian Ning saw Wu Lao Er come in and stood up and said, "I've seen my lord." ”

waved his hand casually and sat down at the main seat, "Don't be so polite in the future, everyone is an old acquaintance." ”

Qian Jingwang smiled and nodded, "Thank you, my lord, for your love." The things that the adults have commanded are already visible. ”

Wu Lao Er raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Oh? I think that's the case, let's talk about it, after all, you have a way to do this, even if it's a dark ride. ”

Qian stared at Yanran and said with a smile: "My lord praised me." After a pause, he continued: "Pei Ji's biological father is from the fourth room of the Pei family, and the current head of the Pei family is Pei Ji's father's uncle. And Pei Ji was born to a concubine and was the eldest son. ”

Wu Lao Er gave her a look to continue talking, Qian Ning nodded and said: "The concubine gives birth to a son, even if it is the eldest son, the original is nothing, and the family business will still be the eldest son in the future after all." It's a pity that Pei Yuan, that is, Pei Ji's father's wife, is also from a big family, and he is jealous and unreasonable. The Pei family is the first family in the Black Jade Country, and all the direct clansmen live in one place, and Pei Ji has been treated harshly because of the relationship between the housemother since he was a child. It is said that since he was a child, he was handed over to his subordinates and never saw his biological mother. When he was older enough to study, he could only be locked up in the courtyard where his subordinates lived, and was not allowed to go out. Finally, his biological mother begged his father for permission before he was allowed to go to private school. It's a pity that he was not young at that time, and he didn't have any status at home, and he was often bullied by other children. ”

Wu Lao Er nodded when he heard this, and said lightly: "This kid is very aggrieved, but when I saw him a few days ago, I can't see a little decadence, on the contrary, there is a kind, a kind."

Wu Lao Er didn't know how to describe it for a while, frowned and thought for a while before saying: "A kind of unconvinced drive, on the surface, it seems to be a person who is brave to move forward, but when he is alone, you can feel the unfathomable depth of this person." It's a bit of a powerful feeling. After speaking, Wu Lao Er clicked his mouth twice, looking noncommittal.

Seeing this, Qian Ning continued: "It's really powerful, I haven't dealt with this person before and I don't know, but now after inquiring, it's really surprising." When I first went to the pharmacy, I was a handyman, maybe others also knew his roots, although he didn't give him too much hardship, but life was not easy, and he did tiring work. But Pei Ji never complained, he was very enthusiastic about all the guys, and slowly everyone became more difficult to bully him, but it made him learn to catch medicine. Because he was diligent with his hands and feet, the doctor at the pharmacy was willing to use him for both medical visits and medicine, and taught him a lot of things, and he was not yet fourteen years old that year! ”

Wu Lao Er nodded secretly, but if he was in Pei Ji's position, he would probably not do badly, because his thoughts, brains and experience are incomparable to ordinary people, but Pei Ji, who can even be said to be a person who has never gone to school, can actually do today, which is still very admirable.

"On weekdays, when I was fine, I learned to read and read books, and later the doctor in the pharmacy accepted him as an apprentice and taught him his medical skills. However, the doctor is also average, mainly because he gave Pei Ji a chance, and a few years later the doctor died, and Pei Ji took his place. Pei Ji has the skill, scheming, and ability, and he did not stop before he could become a doctor in the pharmacy, and asked Mr. to teach him to read, and later because of a series of changes, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was dismissed, and Pei Ji took the position, and all the guys at that time listened to him. Oh yes, Ma You was the guy in the pharmacy at the time, and it is estimated that the dismissal of the shopkeeper should have been planned by the two of them, because Pei Ji reused Ma You after becoming the shopkeeper, and the two began to attack frequently and take the initiative to contract business. ”

Xu said that his mouth was dry for a long time, and Qian Ningwang drank a few sips of tea before continuing: "I have to say that these two people are both wizards in the shopping mall, and they are stunned to make a small pharmacy prosperous, directly surpassing other pharmacy." At that time, the head of the Pei family promoted Pei Ji's status, gave him the status of living in the Pei family's mansion, and let him take charge of the Pei family's medicinal herb business in the eastern town of the Black Jade Country. It's a pity that just when he was proud, his biological mother died, and there were rumors outside that he was killed by his mother. Pei Ji went home to keep filial piety for three years, and at that time, Ma You also resigned from his position. Later, after the completion of filial piety, Pei Ji was sent to Huaiyang Mansion to preside over all the medicine stores. Huaiyang Mansion is the back garden of the Pei family, and the power of each house is not small, and he will stay in Huaiyang Mansion for seven or eight years with Ma You. I heard that Pei Peijie, the head of the Pei family, had publicly praised him at the family meeting, but unfortunately because of his identity, he still had no power in the Pei family, and he was excluded from all rooms. ”

Speaking of which, Pei Ji's matter is almost over, thinking about this person's experience, Wu Lao Er really admires it. Don't say anything else, you let him fight hard, play with his brain, he is really not good at this. If he was in Pei Ji's position, he might have drawn a knife and killed someone a long time ago.

"This old boy is really good, just with his two hits, presumably the big boss of the Huaiyang Mansion medicine store can't satisfy him."

Qian stared and said: "Looking at this person's experience and temperament, it is normal to be ambitious. And he has passed this year, but he has not yet married. ”

Wu Lao Er laughed and said: "He and that horse friend are not clear, presumably they don't like women." ”

Qian Jingwang was surprised when he heard this: "Won't it?" Pei Ji can also be regarded as a capable person, can he be a good man and a good man? But Ma You has a wife and children. ”

Wu Lao Er said disapprerovitously: "I'm afraid of people saying, is it normal to find someone to cover." I just said that the relationship between these two people is not like that of ordinary proprietors and shopkeepers, it turns out that the cat is here. ”

Wu Lao Er said with confidence, as if he really had insight into the adultery between Pei Ji and Ma You. Qian Jingwang just smiled when he saw this, and he didn't have any thoughts about it.

In ancient times, the love between men and men was very normal, some literati and celebrities not only had many wives and concubines, but also had many prostitutes, this trend continued in our country until the Song Dynasty There are still a lot, until the Yuan and Ming dynasties have not heard of it. The same is true in this world, just like in the Han Dynasty, if you want to say that you don't have a favorite boy, you can't mix in the literati circle, everyone will say that you don't have the style of a celebrity. The ancients were heroic, not to mention raising a child, even if you hold a man every day, no one will say anything about you, you can only say that this person is uninhibited.

The famous allusions in history such as the broken sleeves of the peach and the goodness of Longyang all say this, especially in the Han Dynasty, from Gaozu, Emperor Wen, etc., which one did not have his own boyfriend?

Even Wu Lao Er is in this world, and he has heard a lot of this kind of thing, so it is normal for him to have this kind of speculation about the relationship between Pei Ji and Ma You, not to mention that you look at the names of the two, 'Pei Ji and Ma You, Pei Ma Ji You', you say it can be normal?

After chatting for a while, Qian Ning remembered something and said, "By the way, my lord, recently a lot of people from the north have come to inquire about your origins, and the slave family can't stop it when they think about this kind of thing, so they didn't specifically report it to you." ”

Wu Lao Er said indifferently: "It's okay, I'll just do that, what else is there to inquire." It is estimated that Pei Ji wants to probe my bottom, if there is a big person in the Pei family, there will be no such trouble. It seems that Pei Ji's ambition is not small, otherwise ask me what I do, although he is not a high-ranking official, but the two positions of Jinyi Weidu Commander and Zhao Wangfu also have a lot of power. ”

After pondering for a while, Wu Lao Er was happy, "Hmph, there may be big business coming to the door soon, I have to find a time to explain to Xiao Anzi." I won't be able to pull out when the time comes, so don't mess things up for me. ”

Hearing this, Qian stared at the expression, and said cautiously: "What does the adult mean?"

Snorted twice, Wu Lao Er said: "What else can there be, that guy was moved by my words, and it is estimated that he still has to join forces to do the business of medicinal materials." However, he also has to fight the idea of Sihai Restaurant, and only when he has more resources will the weight of his words be heavier. ”

Qian stared and said, "Then there is something to do here in the four seas, my lord, you can just command." ”

Wu Lao Er shook his head and said, "It's too early, Sihai hasn't completely gained a foothold yet." When there is a semicolon of the Four Seas Restaurant south of the capital, I will mention the matter of going to the Black Jade Country. If you want to really make a difference, it is true to practice internal skills! Strive to open the four seas to the capital this year, lay a solid foundation, and are not afraid of problems in other places. At that time, even if the prince can't speak, the name of our four seas will be there, and others will have no place to start if they want to make up their minds! ”

Qian Jingwang nodded solemnly and said, "Everything is up to adults!" No matter where the adults go in the future, the little girl will never forget the kindness of the adults! ”

Wu Lao Er immediately refused: "Don't, everyone takes what they need." You help me, I help you, everyone's interests are tied together, so that they will help each other to go down. ”

Wu Lao Er has always believed that it is difficult to maintain the relationship between people, and he has experienced countless betrayals and betrayals in his previous life, and he believes that sometimes even family affection is not so reliable, let alone friendship and love.

There is an old saying, 'The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor have no one in the downtown area'. In modern society, there are many things where parents abandon their children, children report their parents, friends betray friends, and lovers turn against each other. Wu Lao Er never thinks that there are eternal feelings, and feelings also need to get along. There is a relationship between people and people, no matter what the supply and demand are, whether it is material, money, care, warmth, anyway, there is no such thing as selflessness.

But it is different when there is an entanglement of interests, unless one party sells the other, and the third party can give him more benefits, and much more, he will rarely sell his own interests.

Now Wu Lao Er and the Four Seas Gang are like this, Wu Lao Er provides the Four Seas Restaurant with new dishes and practices, so that they can gain a firm foothold in Daye City, and no one is looking for trouble, and the Four Seas Gang provides Wu Lao Er with a lot of money, and helps Wu Lao Er a little from time to time. The two sides are not only involved in interests, but also a relationship that is jointly promoted. At present, the Four Seas Gang does not have the help of Wu Lao Er, not to mention the Four Seas Restaurant, it is difficult to say whether the Four Seas Gang can still sit firmly as the first gang in Daye City. And if Wu Lao Er didn't have the Four Seas Gang, first of all, Zhao Wangfu would not have a good time, a lot of money every year! And there's a lot more to it that the Four Seas Gang can help with.

And what if Wu Lao Er is taken somewhere else? What the Four Seas Gang needs is Zhao Wangfu, the real power figure of Daye City. At that time, Qian Ningwang will definitely hug the other thigh, of course, the relationship with Wu Lao Er will not be broken, the two sides are in contact, maybe they will be used in the future.

On the other hand, Wu Lao Er is also here, even if there is no Four Seas Gang, there can be Sanjiang Gang and Wuhu Gang, as long as they can maintain their status in Zhao Wangfu and the power of Dongchang, it doesn't matter who they cooperate with.

These are not only known by Wu Laoer, but Qian Jingwang is also regarded as a heroine among women, an elite in the shopping mall, how can he not know these things, but things can be done like that, but words can't be said like that.

Qian Ningwang said loudly: "Without adults, there would be no Four Seas Gang today, and there would be no Qian Ningwang in front of you." It's not just me, but even the Liu Gang Leader and the Tang Gang Leader also say the same. In the past, although we were not bad, we didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and there were many people under our hands, but there were no adults where we came from today. The reputation of the Four Seas Restaurant has spread to other countries, and there are many merchants who come to the door every day to invite our Four Seas Gang to join hands to open restaurants in other places. Nowadays, when Daye City mentions the Four Seas Gang, which one doesn't give a thumbs up? The brothers in the gang don't have to lick the blood from the knife every day, and there are no more traitors, this is all the credit of the adults! ”

Drink! After saying this, although Wu Lao Er knew that Qian Ningwang deliberately praised him, he couldn't take it seriously, but he was also happy in his heart.

Yes, now Daye City can be said to be a family of officials and bandits. The brocade guards have nothing to do with the gangs of the Four Seas Gang to drink and brag, the money is easy to come by, and there is no need to do those bullshit things. Even two days ago, when I was drinking with the Zhou Patrol of the government office, the other party said that the crime rate in Daye City this year was less than 50% of the previous one, and the emperor also specially issued a decree to reward him.

Thinking that there was most of his own credit in this, Wu Lao Er grinned and said: "This is nothing, as a citizen of the empire, this is everyone's obligation." When will our Baiyu whole country not close the door at night and leave no stone unturned, it will be the time for our generation to invite merit and reward! ”

Qian stared at Wu Laoer's oily face that was deeply intoxicated by himself, Yun Neigong pressed the food in his stomach, and hurriedly said goodbye after a few more words.

Looking back at the gate of the Wu Mansion, Qian Jing sighed: "The internal strength is still not deep enough."
