【0343 Wu Xiang Door】
"Okay, would you like to invite someone?" Fan Xiaolin asked. The ceremonies of this era were mainly determined by the rank of the onlookers.
"You don't need to invite anyone, just some people in the township, Zhao Lizheng, Hou Lixing, and Bai Peng can give them a group of elders with some fame, and then call the main steward of the Heaven and Earth Society." Wei Bao thought for a while and said, "There is no need to make a statement, the number of guests is less than 100 people." ”
"Got it, Childe." Fan Xiaolin promised to write it down.
Wei Bao didn't sleep very well this night, just got the plaque of Weijiazhuang Port, but not the plaque of Weijiazhuang, which left a shadow in his heart.
Without the bigger brand of Weijiazhuang for protection, it is useless to obtain the right to go to sea for a seaport, and even whether this seaport can be kept is still a big problem.
In fact, although Wei Bao wanted not to publicize it, the news that the Emperor of the Apocalypse personally gave Wei Bao a plaque of Weijiazhuang Port had spread all over Liaoxi at this time.
Especially within the close-knit officialdom of western Liaoning, the speed of information transmission is no less than that of an orthodox intelligence network.
This is a sign of the emergence of warlordization in a large region, Liaoxi and Liaodong have faintly taken the ancestral family as the leader, and the power of the ancestral family is mainly reflected in the control of the army, with the powerful assistance of the Wu family, the Wu family mainly controls the economy.
Other big families also have their own forces, but compared to the ancestral Wu family, which has formed an in-law, they cannot be the same, and can only be closely united around them.
Even though the ancestral family does not have the strength to lead the rebellion of all the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, as the leader, it is already more than enough, and all the families must take the ancestral Wu family as the leader.
After Wei Bao got up, he went to find Li Chengnei and asked Wang Qiuya to play with Li Chengnei's two sons, while he chatted with Li Chengnei for a while, and then took Li Chengnei around for a while.
There is an endless deal of talk between women, and sometimes there is no end to what men say.
Usually surrounded by his subordinates, even if Song Yingxing is not exactly a person from Weijiazhuang, but Wei Bao also treats Song Yingxing as his subordinate, and when he talks to his subordinates, after all, he has to take into account his identity, and he can't talk too easily.
is a sworn brother with Li Chengnei, then it's another matter, Li Chengnei will not put himself in a lower position than Wei Bao, he should complain and complain, brag when he should brag, and the two of them can talk about anything. In particular, Wei Bao likes to listen to Li Chengnei talk about various things in the capital, one likes to listen, the other loves to talk, and he talks about it very well.
In addition to Li Chengnei, Wei Bao also talked about speculation is Wu Sanfu, the second son of the Wu family, and there is a real friendship between Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu, and there is no subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Big brother, how am I here? It's not badly built, right? Wei Bao asked with a smug smile as he walked on the road in the industrial area.
"It's not just good, it's just good." Li Cheng said happily: "I am happier than myself when I see my brother!" If there were so many trades in the capital, such a good wine, such a good pile of goods, it would be exchanged for silver when it was pulled to Shiwangfu Street. ”
"Yes, it's naturally good to do business in the capital, but it's a pity that if you want to get so many workshops in the capital, you will definitely be blackmailed, and there are too many yamen. There are so many kinds of goods in Liaoxi Township, and it is inconvenient to sell, and the world is in a dilemma. Wei Bao sighed.
"Don't worry, my brother is still young, when I have the opportunity, donate an official body, and then slowly develop in the officialdom, and when I have a certain strength, I will sell the goods all over Beizhili, it is not a big problem." Li Chengnei said with relief.
When the two of them returned to the guest house, they found that only Wang Qiuya was there.
Wei Baoqi said: "What about Leshui and Paradise? ”
"I was picked up by Xiaolin and Rui'er's people to play." Wang Qiuya said with a smile.
Wei Bao snorted, and said to Li Chengnei with a smile: "Look at how popular my two eldest nephews are?" ”
Li Chengnei also smiled: "My brother has to be busy with scientific research, and there are many things to do every day, otherwise, I really want to keep a son by my brother's side." ”
In fact, Li Chengnei brought his two sons this time, which has this meaning, especially Li Leshui is not very fond of reading by nature, Li Chengnei thinks that the second son is the smartest and smartest, and thinks that if there is a chance, it is also good to do business with Wei Baoxue.
Wei Bao's family is rich and has good conditions, and it is no worse than the capital, Li Chengnei doesn't want his two younger sons to be exposed to the comparison of those eunuchs' children since they were young, this is one of them. On the other hand, Li Chengnei himself has no culture, he only recognizes a few words, and he can be an official entirely because he has a layer of relatives.
Li Chengnei knew that Wei Bao had been admitted to Xiucai, and Xiucai was not a low level of education in these years, although Li Chengnei didn't know what Wei Bao's specific knowledge was, but in his eyes, Wei Bao's big Xiucai was a 'talent'.
"Okay, I'll just wait for the eldest brother to say this, I proposed it last time when I was in Beijing." Wei Bao was overjoyed and said: "Don't leave one, Leshui and Paradise haven't taken the children's test yet, just stay in Weijiazhuang to study, I'll let someone teach them personally." ”
Wei Bao doesn't like to add relatives to management, but Li Leshui is not exactly his own relative, there is no blood relationship, and besides, adding a little bit and not having it at all is very different, and it is good to have a little relative around to help do things.
"Leave both? It's a good thing to have someone teach knowledge. It's just that I'm afraid your sister-in-law won't be reluctant. Li Chengnei said.
"Isn't there still Leshan by your side? And I will go to Beijing in the second half of the year to take the township test, as long as the township has passed, I will go to the capital to take the examination in the spring of next year, and when the time comes, maybe I will also be in the capital for a long time. Wei Bao said: "Won't your family be together again then?" When the little boy reaches the age of ten years, he is more or less rebellious, and it is not good to stay with his parents, but it is better to be a little distance. ”
Li Chengneem's ears were soft, and he felt that what Wei Bao said was very reasonable, and after thinking about a bag of cigarettes, he nodded and said, "Cheng, just leave these two boys!" I'll go back and tell your sister-in-law, the old lady doesn't dare to say anything, if you talk nonsense, I'll divorce her. ”
After Li Chengnei finished speaking, he laughed.
Wei Bao also laughed, knowing that Li Chengnei was bragging again, in fact, Li Chengnei loved his wife very much, and he was also very afraid of his wife, a man loves is afraid, and fear is love.
said that Li Leshui and Li Letu would study by Wei Bao's side, which made Wei Bao and Li Chengnei very happy.
Wei Bao saw that Li Chengnei was not very interested in the construction and scenery of Weijiazhuang, and knew that this old man's mind was on eating and drinking, although he was not a drinker, but he was a person who loved to drink and live, so he accompanied him back to the Wei family's mansion.
Wei Bao summoned Fan Datou and a few other stewards who often had to go back and forth between Jingshi and Weijiazhuang, and might often deal with Li Chengnei in the future, accompany Li Chengnei to drink, which made Li Chengnei linger and forget the years happily.
After knowing that they were left in Weijiazhuang, Li Leshui and Li Letu, the two children, were a little reluctant to leave their parents, but they felt that Weijiazhuang and the capital were not far away, and Wei Bao promised that no matter when they wanted to go home, they would send someone to send them back, and they would arrive in two or three days, so the two children accepted.
Wei Bao asked Huang Ying and Wei Dakang to be invited, the two knew the relationship between Wei Bao and Li Chengnei, and they also knew that Wei Bao could be so successful in doing business in Beijing for the first time, and Li Chengnei contributed a lot, so he was very happy to keep the two children in Wei's house.
"In the future, Leshui and Paradise will live with us, let people send him to school during the day, and make them delicious food every night, to ensure that each one is stronger than a calf." Wei Dakang is a person who likes children, and said happily to Li Chengnei.
Huang Ying was also very happy: "It's okay now, Xiaobao moved out and didn't live with us, we are worried that there is no one around us." ”
"Happy water, happy land, why don't you hurry up and thank your grandfather and grandmother?" Li Chengnei said with a smile.
"Thank you grandfather, thank you grandmother." Li Leshui and Li Letu saluted very well-behaved.
Even more put Huang Ying and Wei Da Kangle together, and touched the heads and faces of the two children one by one.
"Brother, uncle and aunt like dolls so much, you have to hurry up and give birth to a baby." Li Chengnei said loudly without a heart.
Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui all blushed when they heard this, especially Wang Qiuya, who was not only shy, but also a little resentful, she had already slept with her son, but she had not moved, for fear that others would think that she could not give birth.
Fortunately, Wei Bao's rules are big, others don't dare to chew the root of their tongues, Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui are just suspicious, and they don't know if anything really happened to Wang Qiuya and Wei Bao.
Wei Bao's personal guards didn't dare to talk about Gongzi's affairs casually, so not many people knew about Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya.
"You have to persuade your brother, in fact, Xiaobao is almost old enough to marry now." Huang Ying smiled.
This is the topic that Huang Ying, Wei Dakang, Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui's family are most interested in.
Wei Bao sweats, isn't the name already decided? Aren't you just waiting for me to marry a regular wife in the future, and then marry all three women around me one by one? What did he say, disgusted that Li Chengnei didn't open which pot to mention, and gave Li Chengnei a roll of his eyes with a smile.
"What? Brother, am I saying something wrong? Li Chengnei lowered his voice and asked Wei Bao softly.
Wei Bao smiled and said that he had already set up three concubines.
Li Chengnei said with envy: "So that's the case, brother is so blessed, he hasn't married a wife yet, and he has already set a three-room beautiful concubine?" ”
Wei Bao smiled, seeing that Li Chengnei is rich now, and he also has the idea of looking for a concubine, but he understands, men, which man is rich and doesn't want to taste more of a woman? As long as it is not a man with physical problems, he wants to change his tricks, human nature, but Li Chengnei is afraid of guilt, so it is estimated that he just thinks about it.
Wei Bao didn't want to get involved in Li Chengnei's housework, so he stopped the topic and talked about some words to persuade wine at the wine table.
Li Chengnei was particularly interested in this: "Brother, have you identified the candidate for a wife?" If you don't recognize it, my brother will help you find a place in the capital, right? Many girls from the prince's family, girls from the noble minister's family, and my brother all knows, helping my brother find a beautiful woman with a beautiful family background, and it is not a problem. ”
Wei Bao glanced at Li Chengne, who had a big bag, and felt very comfortable, knowing that Li Chengnei was telling the truth, not perfunctory words at the wine table, which also showed that Li Chengnei recognized his social status and felt that with his wealth, even if he was just a showman, he already had the opportunity to cling to the girls of the princes and noble ministers.
"Brother, you will worry about my affairs, I will never cling to the family of a prominent family, and I can't stand the dislike of my father-in-law's family." Wei Bao laughed.
Li Chengnei snorted, nodded and said: "Brother and I have the same temper, I could not have looked for Leshui Paradise and their mother, I could have found a family girl with a better family background, but in the end I chose a girl from a poor local family, and the most important thing in life is to be intimate with each other, and it is better to be a local person." You haven't answered what I asked you just now, have you identified the candidate for a wife? ”
Wei Bao sweats, what kind of comprehension ability do you have? I mean, I don't want to find a woman whose family background is much stronger than mine, and I don't say that I have to find a local one? And you care so much about whether I recognize what my wife does?
After all, he is an unmarried man, and when it comes to marriage, Wei Bao is still shy, and said ambiguously: "Yes, but I didn't talk to the woman's family in detail, and I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, don't ask, big brother." ”
"Really? Whose family? When Li Chengnei heard this, he immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, his face was full of gossip and anxiety, his voice was very low, and he was mysterious.
Wei Bao looked at Li Chengnei angrily and funny, knowing that he had good intentions and cared about his life's affairs, but you are too good at it, right? What does it have to do with you? It's like you're marrying, "Big brother, don't ask, I'll tell you later." ”
"Hehe, I'm sorry." Li Chengnei smiled: "You didn't see it when I did? It must be the eldest lady of the Wu family, what other woman in Liaoxi is worthy of my virtuous brother? is also the eldest lady of the Wu family who has a good appearance and family background, even if she is placed in Jingshi, she is also the eldest lady who can be ranked in the top few. ”
Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, what kind of associative ability do you have: "Big brother, don't say it, okay?" ”
"Hehe, I guessed right, right? I'm sorry yet. Li Chengnei smiled proudly.
In fact, Wei Bao didn't say anything at all, as for guessing Wu Xuexia, it was because Li Chengnei also knew Wu Xuexia, so he naturally thought of Wu Xuexia.
A few days later, on the eve of Li Chengne's departure, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at Weijiazhuang Port.
Ribbon-cutting is not new to modern times, it has been prevalent since ancient times.
Wei Bao did it before Li Chengnei left, mainly out of respect for Li Chengnei, especially knowing that Li Chengnei likes to drink and like to be lively, so he just took this opportunity to see Li Chengnei off.
Zhao Kehu, Bai Pengfu, Hou Lixing and other well-known people in the township, dozens of important stewards under Wei Bao, everyone gathered together.
The most surprising thing for Wei Bao was that Zhao Jinfeng actually came.
Last time, Zhao Jinfeng said to Wei Bao that he would come to Weijiazhuang less, and let Wei Bao have nothing to do, and it was best not to go to Shanhaiguan to find her, and the two of them had better wait for Wei Bao to take the township test before meeting.
On the one hand, Wei Bao was busy, and on the other hand, he offended a group of big families in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and he didn't dare to leave Weijiazhuang casually during this time, so Wei Bao did what Zhao Jinfeng instructed.
However, today it was not Wei Bao who called Zhao Jinfeng to come, but Zhao Kehu asked Zhao Kehu to pick up Zhao Jinfeng, Zhao Kehu has actually recognized Wei Bao psychologically, and treated Wei Bao as a son-in-law, Zhao Kehu feels that Weijiazhuang Port got the emperor's personal plaque, which is a great honor, at this time, he should let his daughter come.
Li Chengnei's two sons knew that their father was leaving tomorrow, so they were always by Li Chengnei's side, and Wang Qiuya, Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Zhao Jinfeng also gathered around Li Leshui and Li Letu to talk to the two boys.
They are all because of Wei Bao's relationship, and they are very good to the two little boys.
Zhao Jinfeng did not show too much affection with Wei Bao, and in front of everyone, Wei Bao did not deliberately talk to Zhao Jinfeng.
However, Wei Bao's eyes never left Zhao Jinfeng, but he saw that she was wearing a knee-length narrow sleeved long dress with green gold engraved silk, a mopping blue base brocade inlaid flower skirt, and a green pigmented brocade inlaid with silver silk trim moon white Bixialuo. Black hair, chic and wishful high bun, light and slow cloud temples inserted in the water-inlaid glazed stone hollow cloud smoke silver hairpin, skin like clotted fat hand wearing a glass bracelet, waist red stay silk, hanging a dark brown begonia gold silk purse, feet wearing purple and lotus flower sleeping shoes, the whole person peach is dying, scorching its glory.
I haven't seen Zhao Jinfeng for a while, and Zhao Jinfeng is even more beautiful and moving.
Young men and women are still in the process of growing their bodies, and if they don't see each other for a while, they will feel that each other is different again.
Wei Bao secretly paid attention to Zhao Jinfeng, and Zhao Jinfeng didn't secretly pay attention to Wei Bao.
Except for Zhao Jinfeng's routine meeting with Wei Bao when he came to the State Guest House just now, the two of them had no private conversation.
But the more this is the case, the more the feelings of belching grow wildly in my heart.
Originally, Zhao Jinfeng didn't know how much he had a good impression of Wei Bao, and thought that it was only because he had little contact with men that he would pay special attention to Wei Bao.
Now that I haven't seen her for a while, Zhao Jinfeng has made her thoughts clear, knowing that she already has Wei Bao in her heart, and on the same occasion as Wei Bao, even if they don't talk to each other in private, she is happy in her heart, and she talks and laughs with Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui, and is very affectionate.
Zhao Jinfeng was originally gentle and graceful, without a little arrogance, not to mention Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui, she is her maid to herself, and she is like a sister.
So it didn't take long for the four girls to be affectionate like something.
"Wei Gongzi, with this port, Weijiazhuang will no longer have to worry about the lack of food in the future, and he can still get a little salt in private, and no one will say it." Zhao Kehu said happily to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao has his own salt pan, which is placed in Warship Bay, and the Ming Dynasty prohibits the private production of salt!
Wei Bao said with a smile: "Weijiazhuang Port is just a brand, just this brand is of little use, because the imperial court does not recognize such a place as Weijiazhuang, our piece, in the yellow book of Liaodong, is still Xinqueli, Houmafangli, Jinshanli and Dongbaitali." ”
Zhao Kehu nodded and said: "Yes, I thought you didn't think of this layer, if this harbor is well developed, there will definitely be a bunch of people's eyes, in that case, spend a lot of money to build, maybe it will become a wedding dress for others." ”
Wei Bao sighed and said: "There is no way, we took the lead in building it, let's take a step at a time." ”
The two were talking, Lin Wenbiao came over and said softly: "Son, it's not good, Wu Xiang is here with someone." ”
Wei Bao and Zhao Kehu were shocked at the same time, although they didn't mention Wu Xiang just now, they all knew that some people would be angry when Weijiazhuang Port got up, and this 'person' was the first to refer to the Wu family, and Liaoxi was the most powerful.
"How many people came? Is there an army? Wei Bao frowned and asked, "Why do you wait for people to arrive every time you find out, what is your intelligence department doing for food?" ”
Wei Bao is rarely angry, but now that he has set up his eyes in the homes of a group of major Liaoxi families and big officials, the news should not be so closed.
"They came temporarily, less than fifty people in total, so they weren't detected beforehand. Wu Xiang only brought about 40 guards with him. Lin Wenbiao replied with a red face, and the president rarely spoke in a stern tone.
Zhao Kehu also saw that Wei Bao seemed to be a little too nervous and sensitive to the Wu family and Wu Xiang, "Wei Gongzi, don't be too alarmed, the last time you fought in the ring, it is basically over, and more than a month has passed. You haven't been out of Weijiazhuang for a while, and even if they want to find trouble, it's not easy. ”
Wei Bao realized that he might be a little out of shape, and relaxed a little: "Since they are here, let them in!" The ribbon-cutting ceremony of Weijiazhuang Port will wait for a while, and when they arrive outside the Wei family's mansion, we will go out together to greet them. ”
Zhao Kehu saw that Wei Bao didn't intend to avoid it, he was still very responsible, nodded and said: "Yes, I'll see you when I come, see what you're here for, now in this piece of four, everyone obeys Wei Gongzi, and it's not easy to find trouble!" ”
The news that Wu Xiang was coming spread that the lobby of the State Guest House, which was still lively and chatting and laughing just now, had a gloomy atmosphere, and everyone stopped making loud noises.
Wu Xiang and the others either rode horses, or took carriages, came quickly, just now outside the Bulao Pavilion, after two incense sticks, they entered the Weijiazhuang city wall, and arrived at the gate of the Wei family's mansion.
Wei Bao, who got the news one step earlier, was already waiting with everyone.
Originally, I didn't plan to arrange so many greetings, but thinking about the large number of people, it seemed polite and thoughtful, and Wei Bao also asked the guests who were going to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Weijiazhuang Port today to greet Wu Xiang.
"Greetings to Lord Wu." Wei Bao stood at the front, in the middle position, and as soon as Wu Xiang's carriage stopped, he saluted loudly, and performed the etiquette of Xiucai.
Wei Bao now usually wears the usual clothes that represent Xiucai, although he hates the disadvantages of the imperial examination, but Wei Bao likes this identity and this style of clothes very much.
