Wei Bao saw that Li Chengnei didn't believe his words, but he was not in a hurry, and while persuading him to drink, he was brewing how to tell Li Chengnei what he thought.

At the same time, he is imagining for Li Chengnei that if he wants people to do what he wants, he must first ensure that the other party can get benefits, so he must think about things from the other party's point of view.

If you want to think from the other person's point of view, you must first understand the other party's current position and general environment.

Li Chengnei is a small banner of Jinyiwei, although he is only a small official, but Jinyiwei has a special status in the Ming system, like Dongchang.

A set of systems in the Ming Dynasty is extremely scientific in Wei Bao's view, especially in terms of central management, and it is not easy to produce traitors! The automatic power is very sufficient, and the whole system is very conducive to the control of the emperor.

The power of the eunuchs constrained the officials.

Ming Taizu abolished the prime minister system in his hands.

In order to prevent the prime minister from having too much power, he simply removed the position of prime minister and made a cabinet.

The Ming Dynasty cabinet, first established by Ming Chengzu, was the emperor's advisory body from the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty's establishment (1402) to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), and then gradually increased its power to form the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty.

The number of auxiliary ministers in the cabinet ranges from one to seven, and the auxiliary ministers are sent to go out to do business, and the auxiliary ministers are called the cabinet department.

At first, the cabinet scholars only had the status of advisors, and the emperor had the power to make final decisions, and the scholars rarely had the opportunity to participate in the decision.

By the time of Ming Renzong and Ming Xuanzong, the scholars were able to accumulate to the status of the prince's three orphans because of the kindness of the prince's teacher, and their status became more and more respected.

During the Xuanzong period, no matter how big or small the imperial court was, Xuanzong consulted the views of the scholar Yang Shiqi and decided. Although the secretary of the ministry, Jianyi, and the secretary of the household department, Xia Yuanji, were able to participate in the affairs of the ministries when they were summoned, they were far less than Yang Shiqi and other cabinet members who were able to meet in person.

Since then, the power of the cabinet has increased day by day, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yan, Yan Song and others were in charge of the cabinet, and their status was impressive as the real prime minister, and they could also suppress the six ministries.

However, the cabinet plans to vote for the red, and there is also the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch who holds the pen, even if the emperor does not deal with political affairs for a long time, the eunuch and the cabinet look at each other, and there will be no big mess, and the power is always in the hands of the emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no mention of rebellion in the system, and Zhu Di himself started by rebellion, so he was particularly vigilant about this.

In Zhu Baba's system, the most criticized point is the feudal system, Wei Bao feels that this point is too small people's thinking, too backward, and completely a remnant of a slave society, which was conducive to ruling at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but it has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 200 years, and it has become a big disaster.

The system of the Ming Dynasty is still quite scientific, and in Wei Bao's view, it seems that it already has the rudiments of the capitalist state system! This is the early parliamentary system.

The emperor wants to reuse the eunuchs, the power of the eunuchs will be great, if the emperor reuses the cabinet, the power of the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries will be great, but no matter how big it is, it will not be unbalanced, in the whole system, the space and power to automatically make up for the correction of errors are very bulldozen, it is the best engine in the era of feudal society, and the feudal system has developed to the peak, no matter where the country develops, this engine is very useful.

Dongchang is the official signature, that is, the Dongji Factory, the privileged supervision agency, secret service and secret police agency of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420), Ming Chengzu set up the Dongji Factory (referred to as the East Factory), which was headed by a close eunuch.

Dongchang is the earliest national secret intelligence agency established in the history of the world, and its branches are as far as the Korean Peninsula. The location is located in the north of Dong'anmen in Jingshi.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and the East and West factories were juxtaposed, and the activities were strengthened, and they were often called "factory guards".

Dongchang's power is above Jinyiwei, and it is only responsible to the emperor, and without the approval of the judicial organs, it can supervise the arrest of subjects at will, thus opening the end of the eunuch interference in the Ming Dynasty.

The leader of the East Factory is called the East Factory Palm Seal Eunuch, also known as the Factory Gong or Governor, and is the second person among the eunuchs after the Celebrant Palm Seal Eunuch.

Usually the eunuch is the master of ceremonies and the eunuch Bingbi, whose full official title is "Governor of Qincha Dongchang Official School Office Eunuch", referred to as "Admiral Dongchang".

In addition, there are more than 40 people in charge, foreman, and secretary, who are allocated by the brocade guard, and are divided into 12 sons, and the stewards wear round hats, soap boots, and brown shirts. The rest of the people have the same boot cap but wear a straight fit.

The number one person among the eunuchs is the eunuch of the palm print, the second person is the eunuch of Bingbi, the palm print is too supervised by Jinyiwei, and the east factory is supervised by the East Factory, but the East Factory is above the power of Jinyiwei.

It's a pity that the system that has been continuously improved by generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty seems to be scientific, but in fact it is not like this, and eunuchs rarely oppose each other, let alone check and balance. Whoever controls the East Factory controls the Jinyi Guard, so on the surface, the eunuch Bingbi is subordinate to the eunuch of the palm print, but in fact, the eunuch of the pen can put the eunuch of the palm print in the air.

Now Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch with a pen, Wang Tiqian is a eunuch with palm prints, it stands to reason that Wang Tiqian is above, Wei Zhongxian is below, Wang Tiqian is in charge of Jinyiwei, Wei Zhongxian is in charge of Dongchang, but Wang Tiqian is clear about his position and is willing to succumb to Wei Zhongxian, so Dongchang and Jinyiwei are under Wei Zhongxian's control, and the carpenter Tianqi Emperor's dynasty has been highly concentrated by Wei Zhongxian in the eunuch power.

Li Chengnei will say that Wei Gonggong is the key, and Wei Bao naturally knows that from the beginning of Wei Zhongxian's rise to the point of the carpenter emperor, Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Fengsheng will be the actual rulers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Big brother, listen to me, I think so, although Concubine Zhuang is reluctant to associate with Mrs. Fengsheng and Gonggong Wei, but we can think of other ways, right?" Wei Bao Road.

"Think of something else?" Li Chengnei said: "Didn't I already say it very clearly just now? Could it be that brother, what else can you do to make my sister change her temperament? My sister can help me say that, so it's fine. But you don't have to try to convince my sister about it, don't talk about me as a brother, my sister's temperament is that my father and mother came back to life from the ground, and she can't listen to what she recognizes. ”

"I didn't say that I wanted to persuade Concubine Zhuang to bow her head to Gonggong Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng, big brother, don't worry, listen to me, let's help Concubine Zhuang celebrate her birthday, this is human nature, right? The common people's family business has to live a long life, not to mention the concubine, she always has nothing to say, right? Since His Majesty has been on the throne for several years, there is still only one concubine of the first emperor, Concubine Zhuang, which means that the palace has not been lively for a while. At this time, you proposed to celebrate Concubine Zhuang's birthday, isn't this supporting Mrs. Fengsheng and Gonggong Wei to preside over the affairs of the palace? Since His Majesty favors the Holy Lady and Father-in-law Wei, he must also be happy and will agree. In this way, don't you have the opportunity to speak in front of Grandpa Wei? Wei Baoling pouted sharply: "It's not good, there is more than one position of the general flag, maybe you can directly give the eldest brother a hundred households or something, the hundred households of Jinyiwei are not trivial, right?" ”

"Needless to say, the hundred households of Jinyi Wei are the sixth grade, which is different from the regular six-grade officials of the general health office, which is equal to the fourth grade or so of the magistrate! If you want to be able to get the opportunity to go out of Beijing to handle the case, but the scenery is infinite. Li Chengnei listened to Wei Bao's lively, suddenly understood something, and said: "But I want to celebrate my sister's birthday, where can I get the money?" ”

"What's the money about? I have. Wei Bao patted his chest, although there were more than a hundred taels of silver left around him, and it was just the money for a meal and a few days in the inn, where was the amount of money, but he looked like he was rich, "How much silver can I spend on my birthday?" Eating and listening to the play, I have seen a big family celebrate their birthdays, and I want to come to the palace with a higher standard, and I have three thousand taels of silver, I should be able to take it, right? ”

"Three thousand taels of silver? That's not so much, the palace saves, and His Majesty's birthday may not cost two thousand taels of silver. Li Chengnei said: "I'm afraid it's not just a matter of silver, my sister has always been at odds with Mrs. Fengsheng and Gonggong Wei, can they promise my sister to do the birthday wine?" This matter has to be done with the nod of His Majesty, it is not a trivial matter, and my sister is a person who is afraid of being lively, and she doesn't like to publicize it even more, and she herself will definitely not want to, forget it, don't think about it. ”

Wei Bao heard that the palace held a birthday wine, but he couldn't even spend two thousand taels of silver? The royal family who secretly thinks that the Ming Dynasty is indeed enough for commoners, although he lives in the most magnificent house in the country, he must be extremely economical in terms of food, clothing, and use, "I am fully responsible for the expenses!" Big brother, you are responsible for getting this thing done, I guarantee that you can show your face in front of Gonggong Wei, at least raise the general flag, try out hundreds of these official positions, not only be promoted, but also be a brother and have to take out a few hundred taels of silver from the profits to let the eldest brother buy a family business, the family of the general banner can't be too shabby, right? As for making it, it depends on the eldest brother himself, I think that Gonggong Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng will support it when they hear that Concubine Zhuang is going to make a birthday wine! Your Majesty will definitely support it, and if it doesn't work, the eldest brother will not lose anything. ”

Wei Bao can already judge from Li Chengnei's speech and demeanor, as well as what he just said, that Li Chengneem's family is not having a good time, so he uses his official position and a few hundred taels of silver to cheer up Li Chengnei!

"This ...... Let me think about it. Li Chengnei listened to Wei Bao's lively, but he couldn't muster up the courage.

Wei Bao was angry when he saw Li Chengnei looking like an honest person, but he patiently did not urge him, knowing that he had to be patient with this kind of person, the more anxious he was, the more likely it would be counterproductive.

"Brother, what you just said is good," Li Chengnei was pouted by Wei Bao's face was red, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he listened to what Wei Bao said, and it became more and more like that, and he listened to it, "I'm most worried that my sister won't agree." ”

If she doesn't agree, she will find someone to persuade her, she is high herself, that is her business, when she holds a birthday banquet, she will show up, and she will say that she is unwell and leave early. Let's just hold a birthday banquet, and instead of giving gifts to Grandpa Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng, flattery, what is she to object to? She has no reason to stop her for the sake of your family's life and your future. Besides, helping my sister hold a birthday banquet, this is kindness, and it is the truth of the past everywhere in the world, right? If you can't say it alone, let your sister-in-law and the child help you say it, there is no reason why it can't be done. Wei Bao continued to give Li Chengnei ideas and cheer him up.

Li Chengnei nodded: "Brother's brain is very useful, why didn't I want to fight?" Yes, if it doesn't work, let my family and my child go together to persuade me, my sister spoils my child very much, and there is really some hope for this matter. But, brother, didn't you just say that you can not only help me solve the matter of promotion, but also help you solve the matter of selling a large number of goods? Even if I become the general flag, I don't have the ability to help you sell goods? ”

"Big brother, you don't care about this, anyway, remember my brother's words, big brother is good, brother is good, brother is good, brother is good, big brother is good, first focus on big brother's affairs, I have my own next step." Wei Bao smiled slightly.

"No, brother, you are too real, only for the sake of your eldest brother, not for yourself? Let you spend thousands of taels of silver to hold a birthday banquet for my sister, you can't get any benefits, how can I go so carelessly? Li Chengnei asked uneasily.

"Big brother, you just have to go to Zhang Luo first, as long as this thing can be done, I will be happy to spend this money." Wei Bao said with a smile: "Big brother, drink more wine and eat food, disperse early, today I will send someone to send you back to rest early, and tomorrow you will hurry up, didn't you say that our sister's birthday will be in two days?" ”

Li Chengnei heard Wei Bao call his sister our sister, secretly funny, felt that Wei Bao's brother recognized it was really good, thinking about himself everywhere, not only giving advice, but also contributing money and strength, which was commendable, and said with emotion and emotion: "Brother, the eldest brother doesn't know what to say, remember the silver first, and wait for the eldest brother to have a better life in the future, and slowly return it." In this world, I'm afraid that except for your brother, no one will think about your eldest brother like this anymore, you know that I handed a sentence in front of Gonggong Wei in order to entrust someone, and I suffered a lot. ”

"Big brother, don't be sad, in the future, good days are coming!" Wei Bao smiled slightly, and said softly: "I'll just tell my eldest brother, don't forget your original intention after becoming an official, just now you said that you just want your family to live a good life." There is no end to the road of officialdom, so don't lose your original intention. ”

Li Chengnei nodded: "What my brother said is, I don't want to be a big official, I can be a general flag, I am already very satisfied, I can manage at least one street thing, the streets of Beijing City are still quite oily." ”

Li Chengnei squinted and laughed as he spoke, thinking of the good life after being promoted to the general flag.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "What I want is for the eldest brother to write down this original intention, there are some words, I can't say it clearly, but the eldest brother don't keep thinking about whose thighs he hugs, whose thighs are not strong, just be able to stand firmly in front of you." ”

Wei Bao didn't know what to say, he actually wanted to remind Li Chengnei, and Wei Zhongxian jumped into a person who would fall in three or four years, and wanted to persuade Li Chengneem, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

However, he didn't worry too much about Li Chengnei, because he knew that if he helped Li Chengnei get an official position in advance today, although it would be equivalent to changing the history of an originally unknown person, if Chongzhen came to power according to the original history, Li Chengnei would not be afraid even if his sister died. Because no matter how big the thing is, Chongzhen should not kill him, because Chongzhen has lived in both the West Li Room and the East Li Room, it seems that Dong Li has been with Chongzhen for a longer time, and the feelings should be deeper.

Chongzhen is also ruthless to outsiders, to officials, to the people, to his family, to the royal family is very good, even if it is Xi Li, it seems that Chongzhen has been living a peaceful life unharmed.

Li Chengnei didn't understand what Wei Bao meant, but he still followed Wei Bao's words and said: "Brother is looking far away, your eldest brother still has nothing, so remind your eldest brother to be careful." I understand these things, how deep is the water in officialdom? How many are intertwined? We don't have anyone to support us, so we won't mess around. ”

Wei Bao heard Li Chengnei say this, and nodded with satisfaction: "Big brother, that's good, you can hand over the matter of making money to your brother, as long as you have a brother, you will not be short of silver to spend in your life!" ”

"Huh." Li Chengnei saw that Wei Bao said seriously, his heart was warm, and he raised his glass with a smile and said: "Your eldest brother is not a greedy person, as long as the silver is enough to spend, brother, you don't know what kind of life your eldest brother is living at home now." But as long as life can go smoothly, in fact, I can only be a small flag empty official, and I can be content, I really can't go on. ”

Wei Bao nodded, without saying a word, took out two ingots and five taels from his arms, a total of ten taels of official silver, "Big brother take it first, if the eldest brother's family is short of silver in the future, it means that my brother has not done a good job." ”

Li Chengnei saw Wei Bao's two ingots of silver, stood up in shock, and waved his hand again and again: "Brother, I didn't mean that, I didn't want to ask you for silver." Your eldest brother is not a greedy person, but he is not worshipping you for money? Since they are brothers, they cannot have dealings with silver. Brother, you quickly put away this silver, for the eldest brother cannot ask for it. ”

Wei Bao had a good impression of Li Chengnei's refusal, and he could see that this person was an honest and responsible villager, even if his sister became a concubine, it seemed that for Li Chengnei, he didn't change him much, he still looked like an honest farmer, and he had the honesty and righteousness of the people here in Hebei! "Big brother, this is my brother, a meeting gift for my sister-in-law and nephew, if you don't accept this, you will look down on your brother."

Li Chengnei heard Wei Bao say this, and was even more moved, obviously Wei Bao insisted on giving him silver, and what he said seemed to be begging him to accept his silver, this has been there for a long time.

Wei Bao smiled and stuffed the silver into Li Chengne's sleeve pocket: "Drink bar, big brother." ”

Li Chengnei's face flushed, "This time, according to what my brother said, it is a meeting gift for your nephew, next time I am not allowed to do this, no matter how rich my brother is, it is my brother's money, we are righteous and angry, and we help each other in things, it is all right, we must not hang it with silver, we are brothers who have worshiped the sky." ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that this buddy is right, the axis is very, but this kind of person is the most reassuring, it's just that it doesn't seem to be suitable for being an official, and the principle is too strong, but in the future generations, if you have the opportunity to be an official, maybe you will be a good official, "It's all according to what the eldest brother said." ”

Seeing that Wei Bao had promised him, Li Chengnei smiled happily, picked up the wine glass and continued to drink with Wei Bao, and the two of them talked about it again, and discussed some joints to help Concubine Li Li Zhuang celebrate her birthday, and then left the hall and left the restaurant.

Wei Bao said to a few followers: "Send my eldest brother back." He said to Li Chengnei again: "Big brother, can you hire a sedan chair here?" ”

Seeing that Wei Bao was obviously someone who had never been to Beijing before, Li Chengnei smiled: "Brother, where is the sedan chair for you to hire?" The petty officials of the Jingshi are also walking, not to mention that a person of my status, if there is goods to pull, they are just going to the pig market to find a trailer. ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that the traffic in Daming was too underdeveloped, if it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, he would be able to call a foreign car at the end of the Qing Dynasty, right? Fortunately, at this time, the city of Beijing is small, and we can take a walk, "That's right, let's drink a lot of wine, take a walk to disperse the wine." ”

Li Chengnei heard that Wei Bao was going to send him home in person, and said movingly: "Brother, I also drank a lot of wine just now, I will go back by myself, there is no need to send each other, I will do something tomorrow and go to the inn where you live to find you." ”

"It's okay, I need to recognize the door myself." Wei Bao laughed.

"Okay, just go to my house and have a cup of hot water. There is no tea, boiling water is still available. When Li Chengnei heard Wei Bao say this, he was no longer polite, and took Wei Bao's hand and walked aisle. The two seemed extremely intimate.

"Then I'll bother." Wei Bao smiled.

In a small alley behind Wang Daren Hutong in the north of Li Chengnei's home, in the northeasternmost corner of Beijing, Wei Bao began to think that it was not too far, and only when he walked did he know that he was going to die.

It is necessary to go from the Shiwangfu Street where it is now, through the Goldfish Hutong, the Ganyu Hutong, through the lamp market, to the South Street of the East Fourth Archway, and then walk all the way, through the North Street of the East Fourth Archway, the street is lined with Huanghuafang, Qingqingfang, Renshoufang, Sichengfang, Nanjuxianfang, and Zhongfang, and then come to Dongzhimen Street.

When he arrived at Dongzhimen Street, Wei Bao already needed to walk with his waist on his back, he really admired the ancient working people, walking the world on two legs, how did you do it?

On the way, several attendants signaled several times if they wanted to carry the son? Wei Bao decisively refused, especially after passing by a few little fat men from the 'landlord' family who passed by him several times, he secretly thought that he couldn't be too lazy, otherwise he would have to become these 'parasites'.

"How? Brothers? If it doesn't work, take a break, drink a big bowl of tea and go. Seeing that Wei Bao seemed to be unable to walk, Li Chengnei asked.

A group of followers behind Wei Bao also came up to care about their son-in-law's body, and the son-in-law was a little weak, and he gasped like this after walking for an hour.

"Big brother, if you walk slowly, how can you walk like running?" Wei Bao shook his hand and said stiffly: "It's okay, it's okay, how long will it take to go?" ”

Wei Bao feels that people in this era walk like they are racing, who said that the pace of life of ancient people was slow?

"It's coming soon, I don't need a stick of incense, I've already arrived at Jixian Street, and I'm halfway to Wangda Hutong, and my house is in a small alley behind." Li Chengnei replied with a smile.

Wei Bao sighed, and said that fortunately, the city of Beijing in this era is still very small, otherwise these place names alone can not be remembered, his memory is very good, the city of Beijing in this era, and the scale of a prefecture-level city in later generations, Wei Bao will be the main dozens of streets to figure out, the east, west, north and south to figure out, will not lack a sense of direction.

gritted his teeth and continued to follow, and it really took less than a stick of incense to come to Li Chengne's house.

Li Chengne's home is a dilapidated courtyard house, the courtyard wall is only as high as Wei Bao's chest, and you can see the inside from the outside.

"This is still ten years ago, when our family came to Beijing, my sister took out all the money and silver she had saved and bought it for us, and the place was a little smaller." Li Chengnei was a little embarrassed to introduce to Wei Bao, hearing Wei Bao say that his family was in western Liaoning, and thought that the Wei family must be rich, and in a remote place, the house must be even bigger and more magnificent.

"In the capital, this is good, after a while, the eldest brother will get a set of bright courtyards with four entrances and four exits." Wei Bao didn't show the slightest expression of contempt, what was his starting point? When his home was just reborn, it was just a small thatched hut that even used as a toilet disliked freezing buttocks, where would he look down on Li Chengne's family.

Li Chengnei was very happy to see that Wei Bao did not mean to despise him, and warmly hugged Wei Bao into the small courtyard, and shouted: "The three boys in the house have all come out to meet the guests." ”

Li Chengnei's wife and three sons came out to greet him when they heard this, and they were surprised to hear that Li Chengnei had just bowed to Wei Bao, and they were very enthusiastic.

Li Chengnei claimed to be almost forty years old, but in fact he was only a little more than 35 years old, but the three sons were not young, the eldest son was only one year younger than Wei Bao, and the youngest son was only three years younger than Wei Bao.

There was no good chair to sit on when he entered the house, so Li Chengnei wiped a bench clean with his cuffs and brought it to Wei Bao to sit on.

Wei Bao smiled and thanked him, and chatted with Li Chengnei's eldest son, who was only one year younger than him, and felt that his 'eldest nephew' was quite immature, although he was quite stout in life, a bit of a martial artist, seeing and reacting to these, but he couldn't do it, but he was like a farmer in the township. If he hadn't seen this with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that the royal relatives would be like this.

Li Chengnei's youngest son is quite lively, like Wei Bao asking where he came from, the situation at home, and he looks like a little detective.

Wei Bao started to be eloquent, and after a while, he became familiar with Li Chengnei's family.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'm leaving, here is a little meaning, I haven't seen a place to sell gifts along the way, don't be too little about it." Wei Bao saw that Li Chengnei's wife was going to borrow tea from the neighbor after boiling the water, so he hurriedly stood up and took out ten taels of silver from his arms.

Wei Bao is not a stingy personality, and began to recognize Li Chengnei as his eldest brother, although it was with a purpose, but now that he has arrived at someone's house and seen other people's family, he feels different immediately, and he really enters the state, and he feels that Li Chengneem's family is his relatives.

Li Chengnei's wife and several sons were shocked when they saw Wei Bao's generous move, and looked at Li Chengnei together.

They were quite educated, and although they wanted to pick them up, they didn't go.

This year, ten taels of silver is enough for their family for two years, and they don't have to worry about starvation and cold. In Beijing, forty taels of silver can buy a good courtyard house to live in.

"This can't be done, this can't be done." Seeing Wei Bao come out with the silver again, Li Chengnei hurriedly got up to stop him: "Brother, what are you doing here?" Just now at the winery, he gave me ten taels of silver, which is already a lot. ”

"Big brother, I'm here for my sister-in-law and a few nephews, not for you, what about the three nephews, where is the ten taels of silver just now?" Wei Bao smiled and handed the silver to Li Chengnei's youngest son, "Take it." ”

The youngest son is also 11 years old, and he looked at Wei Bao timidly, and then at his father, originally he thought that Wei Bao was just a big brother a few years older than him, but now when he saw Wei Bao take out so much silver at once, he immediately looked at Wei Bao a lot higher.

Li Chengnei shook his head slightly, and the little boy took a step back in fright, putting his two hands behind his back.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Wei Bao smiled: "The first time I go back to the house, where can I be empty-handed?" It's a shame on me. ”

Li Chengnei was very entangled when he heard Wei Bao say this, "Brother, you are too polite, the ten taels of silver just now are enough, there are only a few people in our family, where can we always ask for my brother's silver?" ”

Li Chengnei's wife looked like a village woman, and she didn't say anything, but she whispered to the side that she couldn't ask for it or accept it.

Wei Bao smiled and put the silver on the broken table of their house, and took Li Chengnei's hand: "Big brother, it's already dark, I should go back, let's talk about something tomorrow." And said softly to Li Chengnei: "Don't forget what you discussed just now, and also, when you enter the palace to do business, you must be willing to use money where you should use it, and the eunuchs have a little money access, so it is more convenient to speak." ”

Seeing that Wei Bao insisted on leaving the silver, Li Chengnei shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Brother, don't worry, I will remember to do what I said." ”

"That's okay, big brother, sister-in-law, you can rest, I'll go." Wei Bao went out with a smile.

Li Chengne's family hurriedly went out to send it off, and the two sides said something to each other, so they were not enthusiastic until Wei Bao walked away with a few followers, and the Li family returned to the courtyard.

"Who is this little official? When did you meet? Are you brothers today? Li Chengnei's wife had a stomach full of questions, and she couldn't wait to ask it.

Li Chengnei will go to Yang's house today to meet the wall, and then meet Wei Bao.

Li Chengnei's wife realized at this time, and said happily: "Maybe you really met a noble person today, that little official gave our family so much silver at once, and it looks good." Maybe his family is a famous family in Liaoxi, and you don't have anything to take advantage of, I think this is a good thing. ”

"Well, I see it that way, it's just that we have no official and no position, and the younger brother of the concubine doesn't take care of it, and he has received the benefits of others, and he doesn't want to go." Li Chengnei said.

"Didn't the little official say that he wanted to celebrate his sister's birthday? I think he must have wanted to use this to make his business into the Jingshi, and if you help him get this done, there is nothing to worry about. Li Chengnei's wife has more ideas than Li Chengnei: "I guess this brother you recognize wants to know more people through you, and you will definitely be able to do this." ”

"Can it be done? I'm afraid my sister won't be able to pass this level first. My sister doesn't like to be public. Li Chengnei said sadly.

"I'll go to my sister's place and say that I will help her celebrate her birthday, and I won't touch her with any light." Li Chengnei's wife packed the ticket.

Li Chengnei heard his wife say this, he was a little relieved, but he was still worried, looking at the three sons who were happily circling around the ten taels of silver left by Wei Bao just now, and after sighing, he took out the other ten taels of silver in his arms and handed them to his wife.

"I heard what the little official said just now, and I'll take five taels of silver out later, help you go to the street and exchange it for loose silver taels, and enter the palace to do errands. Li Chengnei's wife smiled. Although I have only met him once, I have a very good impression of Wei Bao, a young boy who knows how to be polite and knowledgeable, and is easy to like.
