【0349 Wei Mansion Family Banquet】
Wei Bao nodded yes, and then said modestly: "I led it with Brother Sanfu, without Brother Sanfu, I don't have such a high reputation, Brother Sanfu is very admired by his classmates, and most of his classmates who have left the academy in the past are also familiar with him." ”
"It's great to have such a classmate club, which makes it easier for you to connect with each other. I've never heard of a college doing this, at most a few good classmates will contact each other occasionally, and there won't be so many people gathered together. The closest thing in a person's life is his relatives, followed by his classmates, and then he is a good friend of the township party. Wu Xiang said with emotion: "Mo Dao has no confidants in the future, and the two of you will support each other in the future and be friends for life." ”
Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu said yes together, and the two of them were very happy to hear Wu Xiang say this.
Wei Bao secretly praised Wu Xiang for his bearing, pretending to be forced, and always giving people an elegant and bigwig temperament, if he didn't know Wu Xiang's personality, he would simply want to be a fan of Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang does have a character that teaches people to get along with him, and they want to listen to him, follow him, and have the charm of an elder.
Although Wu Xiang made people use a troublemaking method to make Wei Bao's Tiandi business unable to operate normally in Liaoxi, Wei Bao was not particularly disgusted, if he was in the upper position, he had enough power to crush the opponent, he thought, he would definitely do the same, he and Wu Xiang were not opponents of the same magnitude.
At this point, Wei Bao still looks at it quite openly.
Wu Xiang said a few more words to Wei Bao before walking away, before leaving, Wei Bao reminded him that he was about to have lunch, and there was still a banquet at noon.
Wu Xiang took Wu Sanfeng back to the garden, met Wu Xuexia and Wu Sangui, and found a remote pavilion to talk.
"Wei Bao is very scheming! I already thought that he was deep in the city, but I didn't expect him to be more powerful than I thought, a young man in the countryside, without any background backing, can make a career in such a short period of time, it is really not unreasonable. After Wu Xiang sighed, he commented softly to Wei Bao.
After Wu Xuexia heard this, she didn't know whether her father was praising Wei Bao or scolding Wei Bao, she didn't understand very well: "Dad, what's wrong with Wei Bao?" ”
"Dad, do you mean the classmate club that Wei Bao and Sanfu did together?" Wu Sanfeng realized: "I only learned from Sanfu, and Sanfu didn't tell me much about his study before. Sanfu is now famous for his talents, and he will have to test in Jingshi Township in a few months, so maybe he will have the opportunity to make a name for himself in the future, and make friends with his classmates, which is also a good thing, right? ”
"It's not a problem to make friends with classmates. I watched Wei Bao recruit Sanfu to engage in this classmate club, if Sanfu was not my Wu Xiang's son, how many people could he participate in this classmate? I'm just afraid that Wei Bao's classmates will not just contact classmates! Wu Xiang said: "Will you go to make friends with the children of the Han family?" Whether he is studying for a career or doing business or trading, he has nothing to do with those poor students, but why should he win over so many poor students? Have you ever thought about that? ”
Wu Sanfeng shook his head suspiciously: "Please Daddy to solve your doubts." ”
"Without him, this shows that this person has great ambitions! Only people with great ambition will go around wooing all kinds of people, from top to bottom, and none of them will slip through the net. Wu Xiang sighed and paced: "This point, I am not as good as this Wei Bao, he has such means and such vision at a young age, it is indeed rare." We cling to the powerful and high, and everyone knows why. Making friends with people of the same status as us is to support each other and understand each other. But how many people would want to desperately make friends who are far inferior to themselves? ”
Wu Xiang has the concept of class in his heart, but he expresses it differently.
But Wu Sanfeng and Wu Xuexia also understood.
"Dad, it's nothing, is it? Maybe Wei Bao is playful by nature, like the second brother, he likes to play with all kinds of people, no wonder Wei Bao and the second brother are together, and there are endless things to say. Wu Xuexia defended Wei Bao.
Wu Xiang shook his head with a calm face: "It's never that simple, making friends with a large number of inferior people, this is the same reason as Wei Bao's salary of tens of thousands of taels of silver every month, this is all to buy people's hearts!" Businessmen or officials also want people's hearts, but most of them are for show, and very few people show actual benefits. What kind of people will be righteous and squandering money, and boldly make friends with all kinds of inferior people? He Wei Bao is not the green forest of the mountains and forests. ”
"Dad, you mean Wei Bao has the ambition to rebel?" Wu Sanfeng was a little enlightened and said softly.
Wu Xuexia was taken aback when she heard this: "Not necessarily, right?" I think Wei Bao just wants to make more friends, improve his prestige, and want to become a first-class family in western Liaoning as soon as possible, after all, their family is from a peasant family with no background. ”
"Xue Xia is right, I don't think Wei Bao is as bold as a rebel, he has ambitions, but a scheming person with a deep city government will most likely not rebel recklessly. Most of them want to become a big party and pull up their own power. Wu Xiang said: "However, it can be seen from this point that this person is by no means easy to manipulate!" Even if he is accepted as a son-in-law, he can't be at his mercy. ”
Wu Sanfeng nodded in agreement: "Dad is right, this kind of dog is an unfamiliar dog, and it is useless to feed it with more meat." Daddy, let's get out of here as soon as possible, shall we? Now that a team of men and horses has been stationed in Weijiazhuang, it is like burying a nail, there is no need to contact Wei Bao more, and it is best to find a way to kill him as soon as possible. ”
Wu Xuexia heard her eldest brother say this, and she didn't say anything with a calm face.
"I'll be back tomorrow." Wu Xiang copied his hand behind him: "Let's go, go drink, let's be on top, he's down, we should eat and drink, no matter what benefits he respects, just take it, don't remember the other party's benefits!" Just remember that he gave you five hundred taels of silver today, just to take five thousand taels of silver from you tomorrow! ”
Wu Sanfeng was taken aback, listening to the meaning of his father's words, he should have already known that Wei Bao gave him five hundred taels of silver, and secretly said that his father's eyeliner was really much, presumably someone saw Wei Bao give him a silver ticket that day and informed his father.
"Yes, Daddy, I remember." Wu Sanfeng replied respectfully.
Wu Xiang has been closely observing the movements of Weijiazhuang in the past two days, mainly to observe Wei Bao.
He was curious, since he and Wei Bao made conditions to each other that day, Wei Bao didn't seem to move?
Wu Xiang once again comprehended Wei Bao's city government.
At noon, Wei Bao did not accompany Wu Xiang, and Zhao Kehu did not come, but Li Chengnei, Hou Lixing, Bai Pengfu, Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou and others accompanied Wu Xiang and others to drink.
Wei Bao knew that Zhao Jinfeng was going back to Shanhaiguan in the afternoon, so he arranged a family banquet and put it in his parents' house to entertain Zhao Kehu's father and daughter.
Wei Bao is a low-key person, he has the ability to pretend to be forced with facts, there is no need to show off, there is no need to say a lot of what he has and does not, so there is no benefit, he will only disgust others at the time, and make himself blush afterwards.
Wei Bao's character trait is what Zhao Kehu likes about Wei Bao very much.
So although I felt that the Wei family was a bit too much to invite themselves and their daughter, especially a girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet, they still happily went.
When Wei Dakang and Huang Ying heard that they were going to hold a banquet at home, they immediately understood what Zhao Kehu and Zhao Jinfeng's father and daughter were going to do.
In addition to informing Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui that he intended to marry Zhao Jinfeng, Wei Bao did not tell others, including Wei Dakang and Huang Ying.
Wei Dakang and Huang Ying spoke in the back hall.
"After thinking about it for a long time, Xiaobao likes Zhao Lizheng's daughter, and the stinky boy is very discerning." Huang Ying said happily to Wei Dakang.
"Don't say so much, are you all right?" Wei Dakang is anxious: "Since we see that Xiaobao is interested in Zhao Lizheng's daughter, let's try our best to match, Xiaobao has a big idea and is arrogant, and it is rare to take a fancy to a girl." ”
"It's arranged, isn't it just a meal?" Huang Ying smiled: "What is this going to arrange?" I'm even ready for a greeting gift. ”
"You don't need a greeting gift, do you? Do you want to propose marriage on the spot? Wei Dakang was puzzled: "Have you discussed this matter with Xiaobao?" So what if Xiaobao doesn't mean that? ”
"I've already asked someone to call Xiaobao over." Huang Ying said happily: "Son's thoughts, my mother knows best, the stinky boy must be happy, this is a big gold bracelet made of gold given to me by Xiaobao, I haven't been willing to wear it myself, you see, it's good-looking?" ”
Huang Ying said, took out a piece of red cloth from his sleeve pocket, and a pair of bright golden gold bracelets wrapped in the red cloth also took out Wei Dakang to see.
Wei Dakang took it and praised it: "It's good-looking, you are really willing to put down the book, I'm afraid it's half a catty, right?" Two of them so thick. ”
"For my daughter-in-law, what's so reluctant." Huang Ying smiled and looked left and right at the pair of gold bracelets, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "I specially let people go to Yongping Mansion to fight." The largest and best gold shop in western Liaoning. ”
"Yes." Wei Dakang smiled and nodded, although he felt that the shot was a little heavy, and he was relieved when he thought that it was for his future daughter-in-law.
Wei Bao came over in a moment, and it was about to be dinner, and he was in his own house next door.
"Mother, what's the matter?" After Wei Bao asked, he called Dad again.
"Xiaobao, you came just in time, look, is this pair of gold bracelets good-looking? It will be given to Miss Zhao at the dinner table. Huang Ying happily showed Wei Bao the pair of gold bracelets.
Wei Bao sweated: "It's just a meal, what kind of gold bracelet do you give?" It's not a proposal. ”
"How? I'll just ask Xiaobao first, right? Wei Dakang smiled and smoked a cigarette, although his family is now very rich, but Wei Dakang is still as stingy as ever, as long as he can not pay, he is reluctant to spend a penny.
"Didn't you fall in love with the young lady of the Zhao family? Otherwise, if it was so grand, why would you invite Zhao Lizheng and his daughter to dinner alone? Although he still bears the name of Lizheng now, hasn't he become one of your subordinates? We're the proprietors. And the entire Weijiazhuang is ours, our family is already much higher than the Zhao family, if it is not for marriage, why bother? Huang Ying asked in a puzzled crackle.
Wei Bao smiled, I didn't see it, Huang Ying's class consciousness is very strong, and he is so clear that he seems to have looked down on Zhao Kehu a little.
This person will change when he says it, and his temperament and ideas will continue to change with the change of his net worth.
"Mother, you have changed, you were not so powerful before. I invite my father and daughter to dinner, what do you think so much? If I'm the proprietor, can't I invite my subordinates to dinner? Wei Bao laughed.
"Then why have you never invited Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui to dinner?" Huang Ying retorted: "They're all close neighbors of our family, aren't they?" And didn't you give Qiu Ya and Xiaolin their names back? ’
"......" Wei Bao snorted, and was speechless.
Wei Bao mainly didn't know how to tell Huang Ying and Wei Dakang that Zhao Kehu proposed to let him be admitted to the Jinshi, if he told these two people, they would definitely be anxious, and they would definitely not give Zhao Kehu any good looks.
Last time, Shopkeeper Sun proposed to take the exam, and Wei Dakang and Huang Ying both looked like they had a big hatred. If you know that the Zhao family is even more exaggerated, and directly proposes to take the Jinshi exam to propose marriage, then it can't be crazy?
From the demands of Zhao Kehu and Uncle Sun Jiu, to the requirements of his son-in-law, Wei Bao found it even more interesting.
It seems that the more ordinary and ordinary the family, the stronger the desire to change the identity.
is like Wu Xiang's family, Wei Bao estimates that Wu Xiang has no requirements for his son-in-law, as if he is only a talent at present, Wu Xiang seems to be very satisfied, otherwise he would not propose to let himself join the Wu family.
"Let's take a look at the tone of the people first, don't be the same as Qiu Ya's family at the beginning, you can't get off the stage. Or like the shopkeeper Sun in Shanhaiguan, he doesn't know what his surname is when he opens a broken restaurant, and he still wants to find a son-in-law, why doesn't he want to find a Jinshi as a son-in-law? "Wei Dakang is much more sophisticated this time.
When Huang Ying heard this, she felt that it made sense, and nodded: "You have a good idea this time." It's time to find out first. ”
"Don't be tempted, just a simple meal, if that's the case, then I'll leave it on my side. Not with you, you have a lot to do. Wei Bao laughed.
Wei Bao actually didn't want to get involved with Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, but it was not etiquette for him and Zhao Jinfeng to meet in private, and Zhao Jinfeng would probably not agree.
Then you have to bring Zhao Kehu, if you bring Zhao Kehu, he and Zhao Kehu are not equal in seniority, and they are alone, and they can't receive their father and daughter, so they can only bring Wei Dakang and Huang Ying.
"Yes, don't worry about it, Xiaobao has an idea." Wei Dakang winked at Huang Ying.
Status determines the right to speak, Wei Bao is already equivalent to the emperor of Weijiazhuang, even Wei Dakang and Huang Ying are only ministers.
Although the Agricultural Bureau is very important and has great power, after all, it is only a small branch of the Tiandi Firm, and Wei Dakang, who has tasted the joy of power for the first time, now has a little more respect for Wei Bao.
Huang Ying smiled: "Okay, listen to Xiaobao, let's not say anything, just treat it as an ordinary light meal, okay?" ”
Zhao Kehu and Zhao Jinfeng arrived soon and waited in the front hall.
Wei Dakang, Huang Ying, Wei Bao, and Wei Bao's personal secretary Wang Qiuya came to greet him.
In order to show grandeur, Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui accompanied him.
"Hello Satomasa." Wei Dakang is full of spring breeze, looking very good at socializing, only four or five months have been in short time, but he has already taken off the image of the villagers who cowered at the beginning.
Zhao Kehu hurriedly said: "Dakang, didn't you say it?" Just call the name, let's call each other brothers, I am now working under Xiaobao, you call me like this, how can I face the chairman? ”
"Haha, I'm used to it, I can't change my mouth." Wei Dakang smiled: "Brother Kehu." ”
"Brother Dakang." Zhao Kehu saw Wei Dakang change his words, and his two smiling hands and Zhao Kehu's two hands were held together, which was very affectionate.
Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui smiled at each other, and also came to greet Zhao Kehu.
Because Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui With the improvement of the status of the Wei family, they also rose with the tide, Zhao Kehu and they are the same as the management level of the Heaven and Earth Firm, everyone is commensurate with each other, the four middle-aged people are the youngest with Wei Dakang, who is thirty-five or six, and Fan Laopimp, who is nearly fifty years old, is the largest.
Zhao Jinfeng was very polite and greeted everyone one by one.
Everyone praised Zhao Jinfeng for her beauty and beautiful demeanor.
Zhao Jinfeng also saluted Wei Baoyingying.
Wei Bao hurriedly said: "I can't help it, it should be me to greet Miss." As he spoke, he also saluted Zhao Jinfeng.
Zhao Jinfeng's face blushed and looked at Wei Bao affectionately.
After a while, everyone sat down in a lively atmosphere.
As long as there is wine and meat, even the emperor is sad to live such a life these years, and everyone present is considered acquaintances, and the status has become equal at this time, and there is naturally no restraint when they are together.
The more you drink, the happier you get.
It's just that no one mentioned Wei Bao and Zhao Jinfeng.
The purpose of today's banquet, Fan Lao Pimple and Wang Zhihui, who have come over, can naturally understand it at a glance.
They were both very curious, the Wei family was very able to stand it today, didn't they take the initiative to talk about it?
is also very curious, Zhao Kehu is also very good, and he didn't mention it? I brought my daughter to the banquet, which is obviously agreed, right?
Received Wei Bao's invitation today, before coming Zhao Kehu thought about why Wei Bao invited him and Jin Feng, last time he proposed to let Wei Bao take the Jinshi examination and then propose to Zhao Jinfeng, in fact, he just deliberately set a high threshold, on the one hand, it was self-respect, on the other hand, because at that time, Wei Bao and him were also buying four miles of land such a big thing, it was not simply a marriage issue.
"Big brother, brother and sister, I once told Wei Gongzi before that he could only propose to our family Jinfeng after he was admitted to the Jinshi, and I was teasing him. It's hoping that he will be motivated. Zhao Kehu said suddenly after having a glass of wine with Wei Dakang.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and they all felt that Zhao Kehu was a little abrupt.
Wei Bao was also sweating, thinking that Zhao Kehu was indeed a little nonsensical, and he didn't turn a corner when he spoke, so he opened the scene or something, and directly blasted out such a ferocious cannonball? What does this mean? Do you want to take the initiative to propose to our family?
