After breakfast, Wei Ba tidied up and took Xiahou Hui to the backyard. He went to Mrs. Zhang's courtyard first. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Manager Zhang bowing, standing at the door, and nodding constantly. Wei Ba stopped.

Stepping, he stood at the door, bowed slightly, and hunched his hands against his chest, waiting respectfully. Xiahou Hui didn't even enter the door, standing outside the threshold, hunched his hands, lowered his head, and his chin almost pressed against his chest.

It can be seen that she has become proficient in this posture in the past few months.

Huan'er, who was standing at the door of the inner room, saw Wei Ba and the others, and quickly gave Mrs. Zhang a wink to ask. Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and her sleeves tilted: "You go down first."

"Here." Manager Zhang responded and retreated. When he passed by Wei Ba, he squeezed out a smile and then went out the door with his body sideways. Wei Ba also smiled, but he was not so attentive and had some care.

A little polite.

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment and sighed silently. Manager Zhang had just come to report to her about Wei Ba's movements. She heard that Wei Ba did not participate in the picking of Sang, and she also asked for leave for Deng's family and Xiahou Hui. She was very unhappy.

.Wei Ba just made a contribution and she also focused on winning over Wei Ba, but Wei Ba was not very cooperative yesterday and did not show the respect she deserved. Today she was specialized, which made it difficult for her to deal with. If she agreed with Wei today

If the tyrants don’t participate in the picking of mulberry trees, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

What the master of the family is most afraid of is this kind of special person. As long as one appears, it will seriously affect the prestige of the head. Others may not say anything, but who can guarantee that they have no thoughts in their hearts?

However, Wei Ba's reasons are very sufficient, which makes Mrs. Zhang unable to find an excuse to refuse. More importantly, Mrs. Zhang is very clear that Wei Ba is the hope of the entire Wei family, and it is absolutely impossible for the Prime Minister to give Wei Ba the face yesterday.

What falls on Wei Yan or Wei Feng. In the foreseeable future, whether the Wei family will become stronger or destroyed is the key to Wei Ba.

Unlike ordinary people, Mrs. Zhang not only saw hope, but also danger. Wei Ba was unwilling to pick mulberry trees, revealing a signal that he was unwilling to follow Zhuge Liang's horse leader.

How could Mrs. Zhang not worry?

Now Wei Ba brought Xiahou Hui to ask for instructions, which is a formal procedure. In terms of etiquette, Wei Ba refused to have any chance of being seized, which made Mrs. Zhang even more difficult. If Wei Ba blindly lie, he would just be fooled by the situation.

On the contrary, it is better to deal with it.

Using legal goals and striving for illegal benefits is the most difficult thing to deal with.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang was hesitant. She hesitated for a long time. If she waited for a while, she would probably be suspected of being harsh. She had to ask Huan'er to call Wei Ba in. Xiahou Hui was still waiting outside, she was

She is still a concubine, and without permission, she is not qualified to walk to Mrs. Zhang.

Wei Ba walked calmly to Mrs. Zhang without any objection, without any intention of winning any face for Xiahou Hui. Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and her face calmed down a little. She said with a smile: "Ziyu, listen to Zhang Ping

Say, do you have something to do today?"

Wei Ba bowed and bowed: "When I returned to my mother, when I set out from Fangling, I was entrusted by General Wu, Guan Hou, Zhang Hou and other colleagues to report safety to their families. The battlefield was dangerous, and this fierce battle was again

When they were young and big, they were afraid that their family would worry. "He smiled and said, "My mother must be able to empathize with this feeling."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded: "No, you father, son and brother are in front of the formation. I am not worried one day. This year is better. You follow the army and although Zirou is on the front line, you arrange all the martial soldiers in

Even if there is any danger around him, his life will always be fine. Last year, you went to Chang'an, which was the most heartbreaking thing. Alas, your mother and I are both worried."

Wei Ba smiled and said, "Yes, my mother is worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away, let alone on the battlefield. So when I come back this time, the first thing I do is to report their military merits, and the second thing is to report their safety.

The matter has been reported to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Your Majesty has already known it. I think there will be a result soon. Today I want to go to the governments to report safety and beg my mother to let her go."

"This is right, it is right." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Well, Yuanrong is going with you, is that the same thing?"

"Yes, not just." Wei Ba replied respectfully: "Her brother Xiahou Xuan came to Chengdu to discuss the marriage with his wife on the order of the Emperor of Wei. Yesterday, the Prime Minister had already told me that the two countries were enemies and marriage with him.

It may not be very convenient, so I asked me to go back to him. I took Yuanrong to go there today mainly to explain this matter, and also let her meet with Mrs. Xiahou and contact her for a relationship."

Wei Ba smiled timidly when he said this: "My mother doesn't know. Although I made some contributions this time, the methods I used are quite criticized. Some people say that I have hindered the Han-Wu Alliance.

I want to be unfavorable to me. I want to ask the queen to help me clear it."

Mrs. Zhang suddenly realized and asked, "Then when you go to the Wu Mansion, do you also want the Empress Dowager to help you say something?"

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment: "This... I never thought that although General Wu worked with me for many days, he was not as close as Zhang Hou and others. The Empress Dowager might not be willing to speak for me."

Mrs. Zhang laughed, shook her head repeatedly, and said, "You child is usually very bold, but unexpectedly she is a person who can't hide his face. You have made great contributions to Wu Yi this time, how can the Wu family not owe you a favor.

?You are really, I don’t know how to seize this good opportunity. It’s so real. Huan'er..."

Huan'er quickly smiled and said, "Madam?"

"Go and take ten pieces of Shu brothels rewarded in the palace last time, and bring them to Mrs. Wu. Although their family is a relative of the foreigners, they are not well-off at all. Let's talk about it." Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "

Forget it, let Yuanrong come in. This matter will be done by Yuanrong. I think this kid is more decent than you."

Wei Ba smiled awkwardly, Huan'er turned around and ordered someone to pick up the brocade, and then walked out of the door and brought Xiahou Hui in. Mrs. Zhang arranged the task in person, and Xiahou Hui responded one by one, with a respectful attitude.

There was no displeasure at all.

Mrs. Zhang made arrangements and finally asked: "Ziyu, you have to go and go back early. The Prime Minister's wife just sent someone to say that the Prime Minister was originally a rest the day before yesterday, but she specially dragged her to this day, just to wait for you to come back.

Please come to the palace for a lecture. Such a favor can't be neglected."

"My mother, I understand, I will definitely come back in time."

"That... Ziyu, I want to ask you, how many more days do you have to work for?"

"I don't know much. If there is no new errands arranged and only the governments report their safety, it will be almost done in three or five days."

"That's fine. I won't arrange for Yuanrong to pick mulberry trees these days."

Wei Wei did not answer immediately. He could hear the meaning from what Mrs. Zhang said just now, but he did not intend to follow Mrs. Zhang's arrangements. He had already prepared the answer, and now paused, just to say that he had thought about it.

, not talk nonsense.

"Mother, I have a doubt. I wonder if Mother can make it clear?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Wei Ba with a smile, but her eyes became cold. She had already given Wei Ba face just now. If Wei Ba still didn't know the truth and insisted on specialization and did not participate in the picking of mulberry trees, then she would not be the leader.

The human majesty made Wei Ba restrain himself.

"You said that as long as I can do it, I will certainly tell you the truth."

"Mother, do you really need to do this, or do you want to follow the prime minister's wife?"

Mrs. Zhang put away her smile, put her hands in her sleeves, gently rubbed the calluses on her fingertips, drooped her eyelids, and said lightly: "Is there any difference?"

"Yes." Wei Ba nodded: "If my mother thinks it is necessary to manage the family, then I think my mother's move is a bit of a waste of time. If my mother wants to follow the prime minister's wife, then I think my mother may be reluctant to do so.

, I'm afraid that the strength is not enough, and it may not be able to end well."

"Oh?" Mrs. Zhang dragged her voice long, feeling a little unhappy, but she forced herself to not get angry.

Wei Ba calmly explained: "My Wei family built a family with martial arts. The biggest reliance on is not silkworms, but on the Wushu. Since the Northern Expedition, the Wushu has lost more than half of the Wushu and was greatly damaged. The most urgent task now is to restore the Wushu.

Number and strength, not silkworms.”

"Ziyu, do you know that if you want to raise a military soldier, you need more money. Our family not only loses a large number of military trainers, but also loses a large amount of wealth. Now we have to pay attention to the families of those who died in battle, but also provide a lot of money.

To train new martial arts, the daily expenses are amazing. Is there any quicker way to make money by moving to Chengdu besides sericulture?"

Wei Ba smiled: "My mother should have more experience in making money than me. As the saying goes, no farming is not stable, no work is not strong, no business is not rich. To get rich, of course, business is the right thing to do.

.Just relying on silkworm raising and brocade weaving, the government will purchase it uniformly, and the price will not be independent. When will it become rich?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned slightly, feeling that Wei Ba was saying something. She relieved her face, but still didn't smile: "Your words make some sense, but why do you say that it's hard to end up imitating the Prime Minister's wife?"

Wei Ba smiled even happier: "Mother, how many people do you think can be as diligent as the Prime Minister? How many people in Chengdu can be as thrifty as the Prime Minister's wife? Is it because they are unwilling to learn from the Prime Minister and his wife? It's true that they are not willing to learn from the Prime Minister and his wife?

, That's not true. Jiang Wan and Fei Yi are the people most trusted by the Prime Minister. Have their families ever picked mulberry and fed silkworms themselves like the Prime Minister's wife?"

Mrs. Zhang was stunned and looked a little embarrassed. It was not because she didn't convince Wei Ba, but because she found that she was accidentally led by the Prime Minister's wife. If it weren't for Wei Ba's reminding her, she would have continued. Do this.

The result was that he could not truly gain the trust of the prime minister, and that his husband and son married Jiang Wan and others in Zhuge Liang's minds also delayed the recovery of the Wei family's strength.

As a strong woman, she is naturally not satisfied with this result.

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a long time and slowly raised her head: "What are you going to do with Ziyu?"
