After saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhang, Wei Ba and Xiahou Hui went to their biological mother Deng's courtyard again. With his meritorious service again and again, the status of the Deng family in the Wei family has risen, and it is already under Mrs. Zhang alone, above hundreds of people, and even Mrs. Huan'er and Steward Zhang's cronies dare not offend her.

Deng knew that Wei Ba was coming, so he packed up early. It's just that she is a little nervous, because she knows that Wei Ba is going to play against Mrs. Zhang today, and she has no confidence at all whether the two can talk about it. When she was nervous, of course, only her good sister Li and the little girl Lan'er could accompany her.

Seeing Wei Ba and Xiahou Hui walking in side by side, Deng Shi first looked at Wei Ba's face, and then quickly looked at Xiahou Hui. After getting along with Xiahou Hui for a few months, she is now more willing to get close to Xiahou Hui, the daughter-in-law. Although someone reminded her that Xiahou Hui was from Wei and that marrying Wei Ba was a last resort, as a mother, she was willing to be close to anyone who was willing to treat her son.

Xiahou Hui met Deng's anxious gaze, nodded with a smile, walked up quickly, took Deng's arm, and whispered a few words in her ear. When Deng Shi heard this, he was relieved, covered his chest, let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "It must be your credit, otherwise, this kid doesn't know what to say." ”

Wei Ba glanced at Xiahou Hui in surprise. Yesterday, he saw that in this family, although Xiahou Hui has no name, he is a very popular person. Now I hear that the old lady trusts her, and I can't help but be surprised.

The little girl Lan'er greeted her and grabbed Wei Ba's hand: "Brother." Aren't you going to pick mulberries today? ”

"Brother has something, I won't go to pick mulberry today." Wei Ba stroked her bun and said with a smile: "Is it fun to pick mulberry?" ”

"It's not fun, I'm tanned." Lan'er pouted, and said, "But my daughter's family always has to learn these things, otherwise how will I run the family in the future?" Not everyone can be as lucky as Sister Yuanrong and marry a big husband like Brother A. ”

Wei Ba was stunned, squatted down, and gently pulled Lan'er's little face: "Little girl, how old are you." How do you think of such a thing? ”

Lan'er sighed. looks like a little adult: "I'm ten years old, and in two or three years, I will have to get married." ”

"Poof!" Wei Ba squirted out, and Lan'er blushed. Twisted around and hid behind Lee. Refusing to come out again. Wei Ba shook his head with a smile: "Aunt Li." Don't scare Lan'er, look at what worries her. The daughter of our Wei family, how can she marry an ordinary family in the future. Do you want to pick mulberry and raise silkworms? Don't learn this, after a while, find an old gentleman to teach her to read and write, and let the housewife help her find a solid family in the future. ”

Li touched his daughter's little face and said with a smile: "I don't have the good fortune of your mother, this girl, I will be satisfied if I can marry an ordinary person in the future and live a peaceful life." Now that the family has to spend money everywhere, how can I hire any gentleman for her. ”

Xiahou Hui walked up to Lan'er, hugged her into his arms, and said with a smile: "I also know a few words superficially, so it's better for me to enlighten Lan'er." Lan'er, is it good? ”

"Yes, yes." Lan'er happily hugged Xiahou Hui's neck and danced with her hands. "I want to learn to read with my sister."

"It's okay to learn to read, but you can't learn from her to play tricks." Wei Ba pursed his lips, "Women can't be stupid, but they can't be too smart, if they are too smart, men will be pressured." ”

Lan'er giggled and said, "That Sister Yuanrong is so smart, brother, are you under pressure?" ”

Wei Ba opened his arms and said exaggeratedly: "My pressure is great." ”

Lan'er laughed even louder.

After gossiping for a while, Xiahou Hui helped Deng to get into the car and went out under the envious eyes of Li and Lan'er. Wei Ba deliberately pulled the curtain and let the carriage swagger through the city in the Wei family's manor. Deng was very unaccustomed to such a swagger, and asked Wei Ba to pull the curtain down several times, but Wei Ba didn't listen to him. The Deng family was very uncomfortable, and Zuihou or Xiahou Hui persuaded her that Wei Ba was not to show off, but to arouse the motivation of others, and to let those children of the Wei family who were not yet adults or about to become adults have goals, so that they could gather people's hearts and contribute to the revitalization of the Wei family. With this great goal, Deng didn't say anything more.

Wei Ba went to Wu Mansion first, Wu Yi's wife came out to meet him in person, Wei Ba presented ten horses of Shu brocade, and conveyed Wu Yi's message. In fact, the so-called report of peace is just a reason, Wei Ba just wants to take this opportunity to get close to the people of various factions. If the Wei family wants to have long-term peace and stability, they must have allies in the court, otherwise when the Wei family is unlucky, there will be no one who can help say something, and no matter how big the grievance is, it will deserve it. Daddy Wei Yan's popularity is too poor, he must not be able to count on it, and the eldest brother Wei Feng is a wooden person, so he can only establish a relationship network from scratch. Of course, Mrs. Zhang also knew the importance of this matter, and knew that although he was a little stronger than his father and eldest brother in this regard, he was also limited in strength, and Xiahou Hui was obviously very good at this, so she took the initiative to give in and asked Xiahou Hui to help him.

Obviously, Mrs. Zhang's decision was very wise, and Xiahou Hui coaxed Mrs. Wu Yi into a smile without a few words, and said to the Deng family in a loud voice, you are blessed and have a good daughter-in-law. Although the Deng family is also from a famous family, after all, the world she has seen is too small, and she didn't need to come forward for these things before, and suddenly met with a noble person like the queen mother's sister-in-law, she was naturally cramped and uneasy, and in the face of Mrs. Wu Yi's praise, she would not say anything except laugh.

Xiahou Hui bowed quietly: "Madam praised it falsely, but I didn't dare to be." ”

Mrs. Wu Yi smiled: "Deserve it, deserve it." ”

Xiahou Hui shook his head: "I'm just my husband's concubine, not my daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then wondered: "Didn't you say that Brother Ling came to Chengdu and wanted to be reconciled?" ”

Xiahou Hui smiled faintly: "Han and Wei fought against each other, I'm afraid this family can't get along." ”

Mrs. Wu Yi thoughtfully turned her gaze to Wei Ba. "Wei joins the army, is this matter serious?"

Wei Ba smiled helplessly: "Although this matter is unfair to Yuan Rong, the prime minister also has his own reasons for worrying. State affairs are important, how can I miss a major matter for the sake of my children's private affairs. ”

Mrs. Wu Yi sighed softly: "State affairs, state affairs." This is your men's business, so why should you wronged us women. ”

Wei Ba was silent. Wu Yi owes him a big favor, and he also needs to owe Wu Yi a favor, not to tie it out, but to have the opportunity to get closer to the Wu family. Regardless of whether the Wu family can help with this favor or not, he has an excuse to be grateful to Wu Yi, and he will often come to live in the future, and he will also have an excuse to take care of each other. And for the Wu family, they also need a person like him to be an ally, otherwise the Wu family's career in Shu Han will become narrower and narrower. Sooner or later, he will be squeezed out of the court by the Jing Xiang family.

The so-called affection is not reliable. Only the interests are the most real. In officialdom, it cannot be said that there is no affection, but most of the time, affection is not an opponent of interests. The sentiment that has the basis of interests is the most stable sentiment. In a power society of the autocracy of the emperor. If you want to occupy a place in the court as quickly as possible. What better way to do it than to put a trick on the emperor? Even in the Hereafter. What's harder to have a relationship than being close to a leader?

The reason why Cao Cao was able to establish the overlord was because he controlled the emperor by force, and Zhuge Liang was able to establish the overlord. It is because he has the entrustment of the first emperor. The methods they use are different, but the effect is the same, and if they take the emperor into their own hands, they will naturally have the right to speak.

Although Zhuge Liang was not as domineering to Liu Chan as Cao Cao was to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, didn't he arrange Dong Yun, Guo Youzhi, Xiang Zhong and others by the emperor's side? If he wants to get in touch with the emperor through Zhuge Liang's line, there is no chance. He could only find another path and find a breakthrough from the Queen Mother and the Empress. The relationship between the Zhang family and Zhuge Liang is very good, and if he wants Empress Zhang to help him speak, even if he has a good relationship with Zhang Shao, even if he has a relationship with Xiahou Hui, Empress Zhang will hesitate. The Wu family is different, Zhuge Liang has always been very exclusive to the Wu family, and the Wu family's desire to cooperate with him is even stronger.

This point, presumably Mrs. Zhang also thought of it, so she made a move with ten Shu brocades. Shu brocade is a monopoly specialty, the price on the market is at least one gold, like the palace reward of this kind of high-end goods at least one piece of hardware, ten pieces of brocade is fifty gold, is a self-evident heavy gift, especially in the case of the Wei family's economy is very tight.

With Mrs. Wu Yi's words, Wei Ba knew that his goal had been achieved, and he gossiped with Wu Yi's sons Wu Yu and Wu Min for a while, and then he said goodbye, and then went to Zhang's house again.

The affairs of the Zhang family are relatively easy to say, and with the relationship of Xiahou Hui here, there is no need for Wei Ba to come forward, and Mrs. Xiahou understands their intentions. They may not be willing to help Wei Ba, but they will not refuse to fight for a position for Xiahou Hui. Even if it is not feasible to be married, the status of the wife is not a big problem.

After coming out of Zhang's house, Wei Ba immediately went to Guan's house again. The Guan family lives in Xuanmingmen, which occupies an exclusive area like the Zhang family, and is a natural prime location. However, like the Zhang family, the Guan family is also sparsely populated. Guan Yu has passed away for many years, his eldest son Guan Ping died with him, Guan Yu's wife was too sad and passed away, and the current head of the family, Guan Xing, has not returned to the front line, but Guan Xing's sister Guan Feng is in charge.

Wei Ba was quite curious about this legendary woman, but he never expected that he had just arrived at the door, and before the polite words were finished, Guan Feng made an unbelievable request to him.

"I've heard people say that Wei Senjun is not only skilled in boxing, but also good at a weapon called a gun, which is unprovoked and unwilling to show people easily. The concubine has no strengths, and there is nothing to be desired, but the knife skills learned from her father back then were quite passable, and I don't know if she can learn from Wei in the army? ”

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, looking at Guan Feng's face, which was not as beautiful as a flower, but also heroic, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "This...... Girl...... Where did you hear about it...... This thing? ”

Guan Feng's face turned cold, and his willow eyebrows rose: "What, Wei Senjun looks down on me?" ”

Wei Ba secretly complained to himself, although Guan Xing was arrogant, he was also a very easy person to get along with, why did Guan Feng have to fight when they met for the first time, and pointed out that he wanted to try marksmanship? It's the first time we've met in broad daylight, so it's embarrassing.

Seeing Wei Ba's hesitation, Guan Feng was even more unhappy, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Could it be that Wei joined the army and didn't bring the treasure gun with him today?" Do you want to send someone to pick it up? (To be continued......)

PS: Guan Feng wants to try Wei Ba's gun, Lao Zhuang wants your tickets, monthly passes, recommended tickets, all of them. Don't give? Let's eat Guan Feng's knife!
