Zu Dashou nodded reassuringly: "You two, this thing is good!" Wei Bao must not be allowed to return to Weijiazhuang casually! It must be in our hands! This guy has a lot of gold and silver on his hands. It's a big piggy bucket now. ”

"Dad, don't worry, this bucket must be ours! According to me, Wei Bao didn't pay back our family's 180,000 taels of gold this time! Zukefa laughed.

"Oh? How do you say that? Zu Da Shou Qi said.

"Dad, although Wei Bao doesn't pay us back 180,000 taels of gold now, does Uncle dare not pay it back? After he received 120,000 taels of gold from Wei Bao, he would definitely make up another 60,000 taels of gold and give us 180,000 taels of gold. When the customs outside the border are a little more stable, we will lead troops to level Weijiazhuang in the future, and we can collect all the gold and silver! At that time, it will be said that the gold and silver of Weijiazhuang have long been hidden by Wei Bao's people in other places, and they will not be found! When the time comes, won't we take an extra 60,000 taels of gold from my uncle's family? All the gold and silver in Weijiazhuang belong to our family. Zukoffa said with a high spirit.

When Zu Dashou heard this, his smile bloomed, "That's right, or my son has a vision!" When the time comes, I took Wei Bao's gold and silver, and casually distributed tens of thousands of taels of silver to the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and said that the big head of silver had been hidden by Wei Bao and disappeared! Forgive them and don't dare to say anything, maybe they will be grateful to us! ”

"Yes, Dad, so I said that Wei Bao did not take the initiative to return our family's 180,000 taels of gold this time, but it was a good thing." Zu Kefa followed Zu Dashou's words and said: "I estimate that Wei Bao has 300,000 taels of gold and 13,400,000 taels of silver!" It's all daddy's when the time comes. ”

After Zu Kefa finished speaking, Zu Dashou couldn't help laughing with Zu Kefa.

"If you look at it this way, it won't be long before we can make a windfall!" After Zu Dashou laughed enough, he was in a very good mood and calculated: "Actually, when I took out 180,000 taels of gold, I also had this intention, but I didn't think too carefully. Since it won't take long to get a large sum of silver, then, since those big families are unwilling to make up 240,000 taels of silver, let's just put this money out of our family, and we can make a good impression in front of Sun Chengzong and leave a good impression on the court! ”

"Dad, don't!" Zu Ke Fa Dao.

"Huh? Why not? Zu Dashou was puzzled: "We have to defeat Jiannu as soon as possible, and when Jiannu is peaceful, we will immediately send troops to Weijiazhuang, and it is a serious matter to get Weibao's gold and silver, aren't you in a hurry?" Are you reluctant to pay more than 200,000 taels of silver? ”

"Dad, it's not a matter of being reluctant to give up more than 200,000 taels of silver, this is indeed not in accordance with the rules! How can Jiannu say that it can be peaceful? In the future, if Jiannu raises troops and rebels again, once the court can't come up with the money, it will definitely act according to this example. Otherwise, they said that our ancestors took the silver out last time, won't they take it this time? Did the ancestral family change their minds? When the time comes, who will bear such a big sin? "Zu Ke Fa said.

Zu Kefa frowned: "Then what do you say?" Could it be that Mao Wenlong is becoming bigger in the Dongjiang River? We don't have a record of taking a shot here in Liaodong? Zu Dashou said.

"It's a good thing to raise money to help fight. Our family will give out silver, but I am afraid that the court will look for us next time, but the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong donate silver together, it is different, there are so many people, and if you want to donate silver next time, who will you go to? "Zu Ke Fa said.

"But those big families were willing to donate silver, weren't you also there when I talked to them in the Wu Mansion today?" Zu Dashou said helplessly: "Do you still let me sell my face and beg them one by one?" Or put a knife and gun at their nose and ask them to donate money? These guys, a family is reluctant to pay 10,000 taels of silver! There really isn't a generous person! ”

Zu Kefa said: "Dad doesn't have to beg them one by one, and he doesn't have to point a knife or gun at their noses to ask them to donate money. The lobbying of the children's family is that I think so, the Wu family and our ancestral family will contribute half of the silver, let them make up the remaining half of the silver together, and each family will have a maximum of 5,000 taels of silver, plus they will also consider the current situation, and they will not let Mao Wenlong become big in Dongjiang. ”

"Good! This will definitely work! Be quick, though! Zu Dashou said happily: "How many days will it take?" ”

"Three days is enough." Zukefa assured.

"Good!" Zu Dashou said with a smile: "Dad has your helper, and everything is easy." ”

After Zu Dashou finished speaking, Zu Kefa smiled with Zu Dashou.

Compared with the father and son of the ancestral family, Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia are not so happy.

"Brother, what now? Wei Bao said that if he didn't return the gold of the ancestral family, the ancestral family would definitely embarrass him. Wu Xuexia said anxiously.

"You don't have to be too anxious, it's not early, go back and rest, with Xiaobao's cleverness, he must have his own ideas, we don't have to worry too much." Wu Sanfu said.

"Is he reluctant to give up the 180,000 taels of gold and want to hide it?" Wu Xuexia asked.

"I asked him when I saw him off, and he said that he was not reluctant, but that he was angry with his uncle, Zu Kefa, and eldest brother." Wu Sanfu said: "What I admire most about Wei Bao is that he is smart and bold enough!" In our Wu Mansion, we dare to fight against our uncle, the entire Liaoxi and Liaodong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the second person, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. ”

"I said he was stunned!" Wu Xuexia said angrily: "Regardless of whether he is reluctant to give up 180,000 taels of gold, has he ever thought about whether he can hold this money steadily?" Working against those big families and not returning their money, I guess Wei Bao can survive. But when did my uncle suffer? When the war outside the border stabilizes, my uncle will definitely lead a large army to deal with Wei Bao. When the time comes, let alone 180,000 taels of gold, what about 1.8 million taels of gold? ”

"We can all think of what you said, can Wei Bao not think of it?" Wu Sanfu smiled: "I can't see it, you have such a deep affection for Xiaobao?" Look at you. ”

"Brother, when is it, you're still joking." Wu Xuexia said angrily: "No, from tomorrow, let's not leave Wei Bao's side for a moment." ”

Wu Sanfu sweated, "What are you doing?" Are you still going to be with Wei Bao openly? Even if the two of you become married, the woman's family can't show her face. Moreover, how many people in Shanhaiguan know you? If the eldest lady of the Wu family is with Wei Bao like this, it will not take half a day, and the entire Liaoxi and Liaodong will be able to spread all over Liaoxi! ”

Wu Xuexia saw Wu Sanfu's anxious appearance, and smiled: "Brother, you seem to be more nervous than me?" I'm not stupid, would I be with Wei Bao like this? Isn't there still you? You're with Wei Bao, no one says anything, right? I pretend to be your entourage, women dress up as men, get a hat, lower the brim, who cares about me? ”

Wu Sanfu frowned: "Okay?" If my father finds out about this, it will be terrible, not only will you be punished, but I will also be punished. ”

"Brother, didn't you say you wanted to protect Wei Bao?" Wu Xuexia pouted her ruddy little mouth.

"It's okay for me to stay away from Wei Bao, if you can't, you just stay in the house, if there is anything, I will tell you as soon as possible." Wu Sanfu said.

"No, I have to be with you." Wu Xuexia shook Wu Sanfu's arm and coquettishly: "Otherwise, I won't worry." You see that when Wei Bao went to Shanhai Academy to study, didn't his maid Wang Qiuya pretend to be a scholar, isn't it okay? Not many people found out either. ”

"Hehe, are you with me, or with Wei Bao? Are you worried about me, or don't worry about Wei Bao? Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "You pretend to be my follower, you will be discovered by others, and you don't look at how easy you look, if any man looks like you, he must not be snatched up by the sons?" ”

"Brother, what are you talking about? What a package, it's really ugly. Isn't it just that I stick to my beard? Wu Xuexia blinked, "I can still draw my eyebrows thicker, and I can't see it." ”

"You can see it no matter how you get it. Even if you look closely, you will recognize you as a woman with dripping skin and tender flesh, and if you look closely, you will not be recognized? Wu Sanfu smiled: "Unless you draw it like singing an old opera." ”

Wu Xuexia tilted her head and said, "Okay, I'm masked, this is always okay, right?" ”

Wu Sanfu almost fainted: "I said sister, you are too good at fooling around, masked?" Are you masked with me and Wei Bao? What did that become? People are going to have to stare at you all the time. ”

"Brother, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want?" Wu Xuexia said angrily.

Wu Sanfu smiled: "It's not what I want, even if you say that you move me, it's still not good." Unless you have the ability to make people not notice you, but also make people not recognize you. ”

"It's sticky beard and eyebrows! I have a beard, and I don't believe anyone else can recognize it. Wu Xuexia said: "I promise, if anyone other than Wei Bao can recognize me, I will go back to the house immediately, okay?" ”

"Whatever you want." Wu Sanfu smiled, "Anyway, I'll always end up with you girl who can't do it." ”

"I knew my brother was the best." Wu Xuexia leaned sweetly on Wu Sanfu's arm and coquettishly.

Wu Sanfu lovingly scraped Wu Xuexia's pink little nose lightly: "Are you satisfied now?" Hurry back to sleep, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and you won't be able to take care of your Wei Bao. ”

"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? What my Wei Bao, it's hard to hear. Wu Xuexia grimaced at Wu Sanfu and left in a hurry.

Wu Sanfu looked at the back of the girl leaving happily, and felt relieved, no matter what, it was always good to see Wu Xuexia happy. For the sake of my sister, even if I risk being punished by my father when he finds out, it's worth it. Besides, Wu Sanfu knew that his father loved Wu Xuexia, and no matter what Xuexia did, his father would not be really angry.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Xuexia really got up early in the morning, had breakfast, put on makeup, and knocked on Wu Sanfu's door.

Although Wu Sanfu has a wife and a concubine, he is actually not too keen on women, and he can talk about it okay, such as Wei Yanhong, who was given to him by Wei Bao, who is more clever and understanding. As for his own genuine wife and a concubine, he had little interest in it.

Therefore, Wu Sanfu usually sleeps alone.

"Who?" Wu Sanfu was lying on the bed, without opening his eyes, and asked.

"Me." Wu Xuexia said outside the door: "What time is it?" Don't get up yet, I'm in? ”

"Come in." Wu Sanfu lifted a small corner of the bed curtain.

Wu Xuexia walked in with cheerful steps.

Burst.

Wu Sanfu was made laughed by Wu Xuexia's appearance, only to see that Wu Xuexia really didn't know where to get a beard and stick it on her face, her eyebrows were much thicker than usual, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard, it was indeed not easy to recognize Wu Xuexia.

"What are you laughing at, what do you think?" Wu Xuexia posed, her hands crossed on her waist: "I've been working with Li'er for a long time." ”

Apparently, she was happy with her new look.

"Where did you get that beard?" Wu Sanfu said strangely.

"I asked Li'er to do it overnight last night, cut it out with the ends of her hair, and then glue it back, but it took a lot of work, doesn't it look like it?" Wu Xuexia said proudly.

"It's okay, it's not easy to see, only people who know you, don't stare at you, you go out with me, but don't talk." Wu Sanfu admonished.

"Brother, it's okay, I know it, you get up quickly." Wu Xuexia smiled and agreed. It seems to be in a very excited state.

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "You go out first, I'll lie down for a while, and call me after two sticks of incense." ”

"Nope." Wu Xuexia went up and lifted Wu Sanfu's quilt: "I'm afraid your two sticks of incense are going to be noon." ”

"Hey." Wu Sanfu was so frightened that he grabbed the quilt: "What are you doing?" It's a big girl, why is this happening? ”

"Hehehehe." Wu Xuexia smiled like a silver bell: "Hurry up, I won't look at you." Who is rare. ”

"You're not rare, you're rare." Wu Sanfu got up, complaining non-stop.

When Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu arrived at the Maritime Chamber of Commerce where Wei Bao was staying, Wei Bao was about to go out.

Wu Sanfu saw Wei Bao in the carriage, surrounded by his entourage, and was about to board the carriage, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiaobao." ”

Wei Baoqi said: "Brother Sanfu, you came so early. ”

Wu Sanfu smiled: "No way, my sister is worried about you...... Whew......"

Wu Sanfu was just talking, and suddenly let out a soft howl.

Wei Bao smiled, knowing that Wu Xuexia must have pinched him in the carriage, "Brother Sanfu, you don't have to follow me all the time, this is Shanhaiguan, Lang Lang Qiankun, I don't believe that there are still people who dare to blatantly kill people." ”

"Alas, Xiaobao, you are still too young, only you can't think of it, but nothing is impossible." Wu Sanfu invited Wei Bao: "Where are you going?" Get in my car, shall you? ”

Wei Bao's European-style luxury carriage was not brought into Shanhaiguan, and Wei Baolai was sent to Shanhaiguan to close the door, so it was replaced by an ordinary carriage.

Now Wei Bao's carriage is an ordinary carriage.

Wei Bao smiled: "Brother Sanfu, it's really fine, you don't have to follow me." ”

"Come on, I'm not following you, I'm going to find someone to play with anyway." Wu Sanfu said: "Don't rub it off. ”

Wei Bao couldn't get rid of it, and took Wang Qiuya into Wu Sanfu's carriage.

Wei Bao and Wang Qiuya had just entered Wu Sanfu's carriage, and they were attracted by Wu Xuexia, who was full of beard, and after a glance, they felt very familiar, and in less than a second, they thought of who it was, and couldn't help laughing.

Wang Qiuya also recognized Wu Xuexia, covered her mouth, and smiled.

Wu Sanfu smiled at Wu Xuexia and said, "Did I say it?" As long as you recognize you, you can see at a glance, do you think that if you put on a mustache and draw some eyebrows, others will not recognize you? ”

"So easy to recognize?" Wu Xuexia was a little discouraged and asked Wang Qiuya.

Wang Qiuya nodded honestly and said: "The main thing is the eyes, the eyes of the eldest lady are so beautiful, people who know the eldest lady, they will know that it is you when they look at the eyes, and the nose is too." ”

Wu Xuexia touched her eyes and touched her nose again, a little frustrated, these two places must not be covered.

Wei Bao was touched by Wu Xuexia, knowing that Wu Xuexia did this for herself.

After having more contact with Wu Xuexia, I feel that Wu Xuexia is not as rude and willful as she imagined, and her personality is actually quite good, but she is born rich and noble, and it is inevitable that no one will be in her eyes, and she is good to herself. In addition, Wu Xuexia is sincere to herself, which also adds a lot of points to Wei Bao's heart.

"Miss, Brother Sanfu, I really don't need to be protected. You can see that on the surface, I have more than 20 followers, but in fact, secretly, there are many people around me, unless you blatantly send someone to arrest me, and secretly want to do something small to me, it is very difficult. On the bright side, I haven't committed anything, and I have to have an excuse to arrest people. So, I'm fine. Wei Bao said.

"Anyway, we don't have anything to do, even if we don't protect you, we have to play together." Wu Sanfu smiled: "Xiaobao, where are you going?" Is it to go to the academy to have fun? Or who are you going to visit? There is no place in this Shanhaiguan that I don't know. ”

"The place I'm going to is the Overseer's Mansion." Wei Bao laughed.

Burst.

When Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia heard this, their eyes immediately widened, Governor's Mansion?

"Xiaobao, what are you doing there? Do you know the Overseer? Wu Sanfu asked.

"I don't know, let's go see it." Wei Bao replied with a smile.

"Let's see? Now the Governor's Mansion is convening the highest meeting of the Guanxi and outside the Guanxi to deal with the construction of slaves, and the main military officers and magistrates in Liaodong and Jizhou in Liaoxi are all present, as well as the local families in Liaodong and Liaodong in Liaoxi are also there, so the Inspector is afraid that he will not have the time to see you, right? And the Overseer isn't something you can see if you want to, right? In what capacity do you go to see the Overseer? ”

"As a big family, although I am not a child of a family, not a general, just an ordinary person, but my Wei Bao's strength is enough to rank among the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, right? Maybe you can help deal with Jiannu. Wei Bao replied.

Wu Xuexia immediately saw through Wei Bao's intentions, "I advise you not to go, I know that you want to use your approach to Inspector Sun to defuse the possible revenge that my uncle's family may have against you." It is true that Inspector Sun can naturally overwhelm my uncle, and with Inspector Sun's support, no one in the local area will dare to touch you easily. But you said that you don't know Inspector Sun, my uncle and a group of big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong are worried that they can't find you, do you still send them to the door yourself? ”

"That's right, I'm just afraid that they won't find me, so I sent it to the door myself." Wei Bao looked confident.

Wu Sanfu persuaded: "Xiaobao, don't treat it as a child's play, that's the Governor's Mansion, how many adults are present?" Not a joke. ”

"Brother Sanfu, do you think I'm joking?" Wei Bao smiled: "I really have something to do with Inspector Sun." But if you don't send me away, I'll go by myself." ”

Wu Sanfu was puzzled: "Why don't you listen to persuasion?" What the hell is going on? You have to say it to me first. ”

"I heard that Inspector Sun wanted to carry out a counterattack against Jiannu, and asked the court for 240,000 taels of silver to no avail, I can give out this silver!" Although Wei Bao's intelligence system is not very perfect, he still knows such a large amount of information at the first time.

Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia also knew about this, this was the news that they had returned to Shanhaiguan from the imperial court only the day before yesterday, they didn't expect Wei Bao to know so quickly, they all secretly thought, Wei Bao is really powerful!

"You paid this money? Do you want to use this money to make friends with Inspector Sun, so as to protect your Weijiazhuang? But have you ever thought about it, not to mention whether the Liaodong military horses can successfully launch a counterattack against Jiannu with this silver. Even if you fight back, will you be able to gain anything? Even if there is something to gain, when the situation calms down, Inspector Sun will not always be with you, after all, this is the territory of Liaoxi, and if my uncle wants to deal with you, he can still find an opportunity at any time. ”

"If I have a relationship with Inspector Sun, at least the guards of Shanhaiguan will not dare to prohibit me from entering and leaving the gate casually." Wei Bao said: "Moreover, the gold and silver accounts of my ancestors and a group of big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong will have to be explained sooner or later." I think the Governor's Mansion is the best place, at least in the Governor's Mansion, it is easier to calm down a group of big families and listen to me finish talking. ”

Hearing Wei Bao say this, Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia didn't know how to persuade Wei Bao, and they both felt that Wei Bao seemed to have some truth. It's just that they still feel that Wei Bao, as a civilian, went to the Overseer's Mansion to meet the Overseer without authorization, and it was still too risky to convene an important military meeting.

"Let's go to the Overseer's Mansion!" Wei Bao patted the wooden plank in front of the carriage and said to the way to catch the car.

The driver said yes and drove off.

"You're so daring!" Wu Sanfu had no choice but to take Wei Bao, and after saying to Wei Bao, he said to Wu Xuexia again: "Sister, pour a cup of flower tea for my brother, I'll stabilize my mind first." ”

"Shall I?" Wang Qiuya hurriedly said. She saw a tea-tray on a small table in the middle of the carriage, with a delicate teapot on it, and several clean, equally delicate teacups upside down.

"I'll do it anyway." Wu Xuexia smiled slightly, then went to pour tea, and asked Wei Bao: "Does Wei Gongzi want to add sugar?" ”

"Is this tea still sweetened?" Wei Bao was curious, "Then add some, I love sweets." ”

Wu Xuexia sneered: "Could it be that Wei Gongzi, as a local, doesn't even know the local flower tea in western Liaoning?" ”

"Miss Wu, what kind of family are you? What kind of family am I? I also recently had some silver, and I couldn't eat a little food for a few days before, so where can I still drink tea? Wei Bao laughed.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, Xiaobao, I don't know tea, it's nothing." Wu Sanfu smiled freely, seeing that Wei Bao insisted on going to the Governor's Mansion, knowing that he couldn't stop him if he wanted to, he simply didn't think about it.

"What kind of hero am I? It's just a man of the world. Wei Bao said humbly.

While Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu were chatting, Wu Xuexia's slender hands were white and soft, holding a delicate teapot to make tea, and her movements were extremely elegant and noble, and she was very good-looking.

Wei Bao suddenly became interested, and said to Wu Xuexia: "Miss Wu, this situation and this scene suddenly reminds me of a song, would you like to listen to it?" ”

Wu Xuexia's face flushed, Wei Bao had never taken the initiative to talk to her before.

Wei Bao was also moved, and did what he liked, knowing that Wu Xuexia, like Zhao Jinfeng, was a girl who loved music and rhythm, so he found this topic. It seems that there are no girls from big families in this era who don't like music. After all, there is loneliness in the boudoir, and only music can send emotions the most.

"Okay, I'd like to hear about it." Wu Xuexia brewed four cups of tea and sat upright looking at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao opened his mouth and sang: "Xiaosheng's flower umbrella is still in your house."

You are as beautiful as a flower, and I wander the world

Making a cup of flower tea for me is a bit of a match for you

The atmosphere was starting to get a little awkward

You smile so shyly

I can't help but worry about you

What era has long been no longer wanting to go home

You smile and butterflies fall for you

Staring at it for a few seconds, I don't know what to do

You flick your sleeves and look ever-changing

A pot of good wine while the night is still young

Savor this great time on your own

In the dead of night, there was a slight bleakness

Running around is slightly drunk, and it is not suitable for horseback riding

Listen to the ronin playing the broken lute

Passing by the Qinglou Tavern, the official came in and sat down, okay?

My thoughts are like a light rain in June

I have a soft spot for you, and I have a breeze on your sleeves

……

I have a soft spot for you, and I have a breeze on your sleeves

Xiaosheng's flower umbrella is still in your house

You are as beautiful as a flower, and I wander the world

Making a cup of flower tea for me is a bit of a match for you

The atmosphere was starting to get a little awkward

You smile so shyly

I can't help but worry about you

What time I don't want to go home."

This is a modern Internet song that is not very popular, the melody is simple, it is more brainwashing, Wu Xuexia only listened to half of it, and she was already able to chant softly, and in the second half, she took the pipa and simply plucked the strings to accompany Wei Bao.

"I've never heard this kind of tune, but it's very good, I can't see it, Wei Gongzi really understands the rhythm, he sang two tunes when he went back to the classmates' meeting, I didn't expect there to be a new tune so soon? Did you do it yourself? Wu Sanfu slapped his face twice, and then asked.

"Well, I saw Miss Wu pouring tea just now, and suddenly I felt it." Wei Bao was very forced. It's right to recall it suddenly, if you can suddenly feel it, it's really comparable to Cao Gongzi who became a poem in seven steps.

"That's nice." Wu Xuexia said: "Every song of Wei Gongzi has a very special tune, but it is all catchy, easy for people to hum and easy to remember. ”

"Yes, singing is to express emotions, the key is that the person who sings and the listener must be happy, and there must be resonance." Wei Bao laughed.

"Can I compose this into a tune? What's your name? Wu Xuexia asked.

"Ronin Pipa." Wei Bao said: "It was originally given to Miss Wu, if you want to rename it or compose music, you can do it." ”

Wu Xuexia heard Wei Bao say that it was given to her, and her face turned red again.

Just as he was about to speak, the Overseer's Mansion had arrived.
