【0641 Helping others】
The Wang family has been looking for trouble with the Xiong family for a long time, and last night they even sent someone to ambush Xiong Zhaojue, not only snatching Xiong Zhaojue's brush, but also beating Xiong Zhaojue.
Although he didn't fight to death, only a short beating, Xiong Zhaojue's body was too weak, and he couldn't afford to get sick after being sent home by kind passers-by.
The Xiong family really has no silver, they are too poor, if it weren't for the ten taels of silver they got a few days ago, Xiong Zhaoqi wouldn't even be able to afford to see a doctor.
Most of the ten taels of silver obtained were also exchanged for the neighbors near the rented house on credit, as well as some old friends of the kind father.
The daughter of the Xiong family can't take care of her brother at home, and she has to come out to continue to do a small business.
Therefore, when this girl heard that Wei Bao mentioned Xiong Zhaoqi's name when Wu Sanfu was talking just now, she mistook Wei Bao for Wang Anbang, and immediately lost her mind angrily.
"It turns out that you are Xiong Zhaojue's sister? Did you mistake me for Wang Anbang? This shot is not poisonous, is it? Wei Bao asked.
The girl shook her head pitifully: "I am Xiong Zhaojue's sister, my name is Xiong Xin'er, I can't live with Gongye, and I mistakenly mistook Gongzi for Wang Anbang, this needle is an ordinary embroidery needle, it is not poisonous." ”
"Let her go!" Wei Bao believed the girl's words and said to the entourage who was holding her.
"Yes, Childe." The agents let go.
"Just disinfect and bandage, you don't have to go home, I'll go see Xiong Zhaojue." Wei Bao then said to Suihu.
Someone in the entourage carried a simple medicine box and immediately came up to bandage the president's wounds.
When the embroidery needle was pulled out, Wei Bao's teeth grinned in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Son." Xiong Xin'er cried pear blossoms and looked at Wei Bao with rain.
"You are quite bold, admit that you are an enemy, and you dare to assassinate immediately, don't you want to die?" Wei Bao felt that this Xiong Xin'er was very impulsive, and she had a fight with Wu Xuexia.
Wu Xuexia is smart and smart, but in Wei Bao's opinion, Wu Xuexia is also a very impulsive person, and when she thinks of something, she will immediately say it and make it.
Xiong Xin'er didn't answer Wei Bao's words, just cried.
"Okay, don't cry, wasn't it brave just now?" President Wei smiled slightly: "Let's go, go to your house to see your brother, we came to find him today." Is your brother badly injured? ”
"It's very heavy, and the doctor said that you should lie in bed for at least half a year." Xiong Xin'er choked up.
Wei Bao snorted and said to Lin Wenbiao: "Call our doctor to come over and take a look at Brother Xiong!" ”
"Okay, Childe." Lin Wenbiao agreed.
President Wei then asked Xiong Xin'er to lead the way and follow up the alley.
Wu Sanfu pinched his nose and followed.
Slum-like alleys, littered with garbage, excrement.
Xiong Zhaoqi never thought that Wei Bao would come to him, and his eyes turned red when he was moved: "Wei Gongzi, why are you here?" ”
Xiong Zhaoqi and Xiong Xin'er's mother originally saw Xiong Xin'er bring a few people in, and they were still scared, but when they heard Xiong Zhaoqi call Wei Gongzi, they knew that the benefactor was coming, and they were also moved: "It turned out to be Wei Gongzi?" We don't have anything here, we don't even have a place to sit, Wei Gongzi, please sit on the bed board, right? Wei Bao looked at this simple courtyard, there was only a very small tiled house, and he didn't know how Xiong Zhaoqi, Xiong Xin'er and their mother could live?
There were only two bed boards in the room, and there were no tables and chairs.
On the other bed, there are some wolf hairs and pen tubes for making brushes, as well as thin threads.
I think it was the material for their mother and daughter to make brushes at home.
It seems that there is not much left.
If these brushes are sold out, the family can only rely on Xiong Xin'er to do a little needlework, so how can they live?
Xiong Zhaoqi was very strange how his sister came with Wei Bao, and saw that her sister seemed to be crying, "Xin'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiong Xin'er's face turned red, and she was about to say that she had misunderstood that Wei Gongzi was a villain just now, she stabbed Wei Gongzi with an embroidery needle, and almost stabbed Wei Gongzi to death: "I ......"
Wei Bao interrupted Xiong Xin'er and knew what she was going to say: "Oh, that's the case, Brother Sanfu and I asked someone at the entrance of the alley, asking where your home is, and I just happened to meet Miss Xiong." ”
Wei Baoke doesn't care if Xiong Xin'er will say it after he leaves, if he doesn't say it secretly, the neighbors will say it, and the commotion just now is not small.
However, that is also after he leaves, in front of Xiong Xin'er, he should be more generous.
Xiong Zhaoqi sighed.
"Brother Xiong, lie down and don't move." Wei Bao saw Xiong Zhaojun struggling to sit up, and hurriedly dissuaded him.
Xiong Zhaoqi could only continue to lie down: "Wei Gongzi came to a place like ours, which is really unpleasant. ”
"What are these words? We are friends. Wei Bao said: "Where is Brother Tai injured?" Heard your sister say that she would have to lie down for half a year to recover? ”
"I didn't necessarily get better for half a year, and I hurt my waist bones." Xiong Zhaoqi sighed and said, "This Wang family who was killed by the heavens, this is going to be wiped out." ’
Wei Bao frowned slightly: "I don't know anything, his Wang family is also a family that has been put on death row, how can they still be so arrogant?" Is there any Donglin minister who helps them tidy up your family? ”
Wei Bao felt that Wei Zhongxian would definitely not send someone to deal with the orphans and widows of the Xiong family, if Wei Zhongxian made a move, the family would have been wiped out a long time ago, where would they slowly torture them like this.
"That doesn't seem to be, I don't know, but it seems that I heard that the Wang family and the Donglin ministers have also broken up, and it shouldn't be relying on the power of the Donglin ministers." Xiong Zhaoqi said: "By the way, Wei Gongzi will take the test after the exam, right?" Did you do well in the exam?"
President Wei said indifferently: "It's not clear yet, anyway, all the answers have been answered." ”
"That must be high school, if a person like Wei Gongzi is not in high school, God really won't have eyes." Xiong Zhaoqi said sincerely.
Xiong Zhaoqi said what he said from his heart, he really felt that Wei Bao was the best person in the world, especially this time Wei Bao came to his house to visit him.
You must know that the Xiong family has a lot of relatives and friends in the capital, but since his father's accident, these relatives and friends have slowly stopped contacting, and they are afraid that they will come to the door.
Xiong Zhaoqi and Xiong Xin'er, as well as their mother, are all tough people, as long as others show a little fear of getting into trouble and don't want to get involved with their meaning, they will never ask for it again, and would rather starve to death than rely on themselves.
After a brief chat, Wei Bao didn't know what to say, so he wanted to leave: "Then you can take care of your injuries, I originally said that I wanted to find friends to have a drink and get together today to relax, but unfortunately Brother Xiong couldn't participate." If you are injured, don't think about working to subsidize your family, I will ask you to take 100 taels of silver first. ”
Although the prices in the capital are higher than in other places, this year, a hundred taels of silver, living in such a slum, without encountering any disasters or diseases, just to eat, the three of them will not be able to use it up for ten years.
"This is absolutely unacceptable, Wei Gongzi, I understand your kindness, but the silver must not be taken, I took Wei Gongzi ten taels of silver before, I am already very ashamed, after I came back, my mother said that I had been for a long time. met Wei Gongzi Pingshui, but repeatedly received Wei Gongzi's great favor, how to repay? Xiong Zhaoqi choked up as he spoke.
"Wei Gongzi, although our family is poor, but the people are poor, this is what their father often taught them, this silver, we dare not ask for it no matter what." Xiong Zhaoqi's mother also said.
Xiong Xin'er saw that Wei Bao was one hundred taels of silver as soon as he made a move, and she was even more moved to cry again, secretly hating, hating that she was blind just now, and actually regarded her benefactor as an enemy, and felt very ashamed of Wei Gongzi, and she was uncomfortable and speechless.
"You will think that you have borrowed from me, and you will pay me back when you have the money. Originally, I wanted to take 1,000 taels of silver out, but I knew that you would definitely not want it. Wei Bao smiled and said: "Brother Xiong and I are friends, and it is nothing to help each other." ”
Wei Bao really didn't mean to make a fuss about Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi was a fallen neutral, neither a eunuch party, nor a member of the Donglin Party, and he had a relationship with the Xiong family, and Mao had no benefits.
President Wei is holding the intention of promoting himself, not to mention the person whose name he knows, even someone he doesn't know, and he will definitely help if he finds him.
helped a family, and the people around the family will vigorously publicize it, and over time, it's not the party that spreads the good name.
President Wei is a businessman, and the most important thing for businessmen is advertising, but unfortunately there is no official media these days, so he can only rely on his own advertising.
Xiong Zhaoqi, Xiong Xin'er, and their mothers heard Wei Bao say this, and they were all grateful, and they didn't know what to say, or they couldn't help it.
President Wei ignored them and asked Sui Hu to take a hundred taels of silver out.
President Wei personally put the silver tattoo on the side of Xiong Zhaoju's head.
"Wei Gongzi, what should I say? None of our family's closest relatives helped us as much as Wei Gongzi. Xiong Zhaoqi couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"Don't be uncomfortable, Master Xiong, the suffering will pass after all. I'll secretly inquire and see who the Wang family has contacted to deal with you!" It's really mad to be so vicious in dealing with orphans and widows! Wei Bao said: "Your accommodation here is too bad, I'll let someone arrange another house for you." ”
Originally, Xiong Zhaoqi, Xiong Xin'er and Mother Xiong were already speechless when they saw Wei Bao giving them silver, but they didn't expect Wei Bao to arrange a house for them to live in.
Mother Bear couldn't help but pull Wei Bao's arm: "Master Wei, great kindness, how can we repay it?" ”
The mother bear touched the hand that President Wei had just bandaged.
A needle has been pricked, in fact, it is not very serious, no matter how deep it is, it is limited, after pulling it out, it will be fine for a while, plus President Wei's gold sore medicine is the best, and it doesn't hurt much at this time.
However, the mother bear touched President Wei's hand and happened to expose the white bandage on her wrist.
When Xiong Xin'er saw it, she couldn't hold back anymore and knelt down for Wei Bao: "Master Wei, I was really blind just now. ”
"Hey, hey, why is this happening, I've already said it's a misunderstanding, I don't blame you." Wei Bao hurriedly said, wanting to help Xiong Xin'er, but considering that men and women are not kissed, he did not stretch out his hand.
President Wei really didn't really love one by one, especially after having Wu Xuexia by his side, he just got an extra Princess Zhenming with him, which was mostly out of political needs.
Otherwise, President Wei has been keeping Princess Zhenming by his side for so many days, why didn't he touch Princess Zhenming?
Xiong Xin'er is very beautiful and will not lose to Princess Zhenming and Wang Qiuya, but President Wei doesn't feel much.
If you come so easily, you won't be able to go to the street in the future, and the street of Jingshi, wandering outside for a day, can see at least ten or more beauties.
And you must see beautiful women every day.
Therefore, the beauty of the world can only be based on fate, and must not be deliberately pursued, otherwise it will be a plaything and the cart will be turned upside down.
Beauty can make men happy, make men relax, and preferably help men, and must not become a psychological burden for men.
Xiong Xin'er refused to get up.
Xiong Zhaoqi and Mother Xiong asked in surprise.
Xiong Xin'er cried and told what had just happened.
The motherly bear slapped Xiong Xin'er's face, and her pretty pink face suddenly had five finger prints.
The Xiong family used to be an official family, and they didn't always suffer as much as they do now.
Xiong Zhaoqi and Xiong Xin'er were both forced by life, so they lived as poor as they are now.
"You damn girl! See that I don't kill you. "Mother Bear cried after the beating.
Wei Bao sweated and hurriedly said: "Aunt is dissipating, it's all a trivial matter, how can you beat someone casually?" ”
Mother Bear hurriedly said to Wei Bao: "Master Wei, I'm angry, where is there such a white-eyed wolf?" Wei Gongzi is so good to our family, this dead Nizi almost took Wei Gongzi's life, even if she died, it would not be a pity! Dead Nizi has practiced martial arts, and there is no seriousness in the attack, and fortunately, Wei Gongzi has a golden body to protect his body. ”
President Wei sweated, and the golden body protection came out, you should say that this son has a Buddha light protection body, right?
"The little misunderstanding is over! If I found an enemy, I would be desperate, understandably. "President Wei said magnanimously: 'Okay, aunt must not beat Miss again. Please accept the money, and I will ask someone to find you a place, a place that is a little quieter and safer, so that it will not be easy for others to trouble you again. ’
Originally, President Wei wanted to invite the three of them to his president's mansion, but after thinking about it, forget it, wait for these three people to misunderstand what he is going to do, and make things happen, and I have to say that it will be boring for the last half a day.
President Wei really just wants to do good.
Xiong Zhaoqi, Xiong Xin'er and Mother Xiong have to thank each other for their kindness.
President Wei left their house with Wu Sanfu.
The matter of arranging the accommodation of the three of them is simply a small matter for President Wei in this matter, and Lin Wenbiao can arrange it properly with one sentence, and there is no need for President Wei to ask about the follow-up.
When President Wei returned to the President's Mansion, Li Chengneem's family, Song Yingxing, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and others had already arrived.
Song Yingxing and Li Chengnei's family know each other, and they add Li Yan and Niu Jinxing, both of whom are people who can come to things, and after getting to know Li Chengnei and Song Yingxing, they can also talk about going together.
Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya, and Princess Zhenming chatted with Li Chengne's three sons in the courtyard.
Hearing that President Wei had returned home, a group of people greeted him together.
"Brother, sister-in-law, how many are here?" President Wei was very happy to see Li Chengnei, and first said hello to Li Chengnei and his wife, and then greeted the other three.
"Xiaobao, I want to die as a brother." Li Chengnei smiled and came over and grabbed Wei Bao's two hands.
"Brother, I miss you too." Wei Bao smiled slightly, and then introduced to several people: "This is my brother-in-law. Brother, these are friends who went to Beijing to take the exam. ’
"We've just spoken to each other." Li Chengnei smiled and said, "Xiaobao, how did you do in the exam this time?" ”
"It's not good to say it now, let's not talk about it now, you can't think about the results after the exam, otherwise the people who can wait for the results will be white-headed." Wei Bao said chicly.
Song Yingxing and Li Yan even claimed that they were, but they secretly praised Wei Gongzi for being free and easy.
However, including Li Chengne, no one thinks that Wei Bao can really go to high school, especially Song Yingxing, he knows how many pounds Wei Bao has.
Although most of the exam questions on this trip were prepared in the 'mock answer sheet' that Song Yingxing did for Wei Bao, not to mention Wei Bao, a second-way dealer, or Song Yingxing himself, the first-way dealer, there is no bottom at all.
It is true that Song Yingxing in history did not pass the Jinshi exam this time, and if he did, he would not have produced a scientific worker Song Yingxing in history.
There will be no early encyclopedia of "Heavenly Creations".
"What else are you asking? Xiaobao must be in high school! "Li Chengne's wife is very good at talking.
"Sister-in-law Ji Yan." Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, you take your three nephews and stay with your eldest brother here for a few more days, and my eldest brother and I can also get together." ”
"What does that say? He can love it here for as long as he likes. Li Chengnei's wife smiled: "In my brother's house, what else is there to worry about?" But I'll still take the three of them back after dinner, Leshui and Paradise are rare to return to Beijing, it's better to go back to live. ”
"It's okay, as my sister-in-law likes." Wei Bao touched Li Leshui and Li Letu's heads.
Now that the conditions of the Li family have been improved, there is no need for Wei Bao to help them like he did at the beginning.
Wei Bao asked Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya, and Princess Zhenming to greet their sister-in-law.
The three daughters agreed, and they all had a good impression of the simple Li Chengnei wife.
Li Chengne's wife is very capable of subverting ordinary people's impression of the emperor's relatives, just like an ordinary peasant housewife.
And Li Chengnei is not an ordinary royal relative, he is the younger brother of Dong Li, and he is the brother-in-law of the former emperor.
Several of the men then began to eat and drink, and were so upset that they were.
Wu Sanfu, who likes to socialize, was present, and the atmosphere was not warm, although he was not called a brother, but the relationship was very harmonious.
During the banquet, Wei Bao raised his glass and asked Song Yingxing: "Mr. Song, do you still remember our agreement?" ”
Wu Sanfu asked curiously, "What agreement?" Isn't it another bet? Bet on whether you will take the test or not, how much is the bet? ”
Wei Bao smiled: "Brother Sanfu, you guessed half right, but let's not gamble, Mr. Song is half of my Mr. Enlightenment, where are there disciples and Mr. gambling money?" ”
Li Chengnei, Li Yan and Niu Jinxing were also very interested, and they didn't know what Wei Gongzi and Song Yingxing were betting on.
"Isn't it gambling on money? That is, like me, if you don't pay the money, you will be the domestic slave of the son, right? Niu Jinxing said: "Son, I am willing to go to Childe's side to be a house slave now." ”
Wei Bao smiled: "Don't mention this stubble, I don't want you as a house slave, I really hope that Brother Niu can return 10,000 taels of silver to me within ten years, haha." ”
Li Yan also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Brother Niu, if you want to be a house slave, you can't do anything, if it's me, I also want 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Niu Jinxing was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he was not unhappy: "How can I be worth more than 10,000 taels of silver?" Son, it's not my mother-in-law who sells melons, I have some talents, and the next subject must be lifted, and he can't say if he can be a jinshi in his year. ”
"I believe it!" Wei Bao smiled and nodded: "Brother Niu, I don't mean to underestimate you, so ah, you are a house slave by my side and have wronged you." ”
Niu Jinxing heard Wei Bao say this, and immediately changed from unhappy to willing, he loves to listen to good words.
"How dare I forget? I made an agreement with my son, if my son is admitted to the Jinshi, and I am not admitted to the Jinshi, I Song Yingxing is willing to follow the Heaven and Earth Association and follow the son for the rest of my life! Be sincere and never regret it. Song Yingxing himself said the answer.
President Wei looked at Song Yingxing and blinked slyly: "Mr. Song, are you optimistic that I can be admitted to the Jinshi." It's so easy to say. ”
"Absolutely not, don't misunderstand." Song Yingxing heard Wei Bao say this, and hurriedly defended: "I think it is possible for Gongzi to be admitted to the Jinshi, and there is no one who does not want Gongzi to be a Jinshi." ”
"You think I can get in, but you think you have more hope for yourself. Our condition is that I am admitted to the Jinshi, and you are not admitted to the Jinshi, which is valid. If we all pass the test, or none of us get in, the conditions are not valid. You don't think you'll be behind me anyway, because you prepared the answers for my exam preparation, didn't you?"
"That's one of them." Song Yingxing is a very frank person, "The second is that I am already accustomed to the life of Weijiazhuang, and I also like Weijiazhuang and Tiandihui, if I am in Weijiazhuang and Tiandihui for the rest of my life, I will also feel very happy." If Gongzi is admitted to the Jinshi and I can't pass the exam, I will cut off the idea of the scientific examination, which means that the scientific examination of the Ming Dynasty has no chance with me. ”
President Wei listened to Song Yingxing's emotion and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, that's good, I and the Heaven and Earth Association also recognize you." ”
"Thank you for your appreciation! I know it all. Song Yingxing drank a little too much and looked at Wei Bao gratefully.
"Come on, let's have another drink. Although you have recognized me and the Heaven and Earth Society, you still have no idea of giving up the scientific examination, if you have the opportunity to become an official, you will definitely not be happy to be in Weijiazhuang and the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
"Don't hide it, Childe, it's true, is there a scholar in the Ming Dynasty who doesn't want to be admitted to the Jinshi in a dignified manner, get an official and a half-job, and benefit the people?" Song Yingxing said: "This is a good thing for the glorious lintel." ”
