After saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhang, Wei Ba and Xiahou Hui went to the courtyard of their biological mother Deng. With his success, Deng's status in the Wei family has risen. He is already under Mrs. Zhang and above hundreds. Even the wife and wife such as Huaner and Manager Zhang dare not offend her.

Deng knew that Wei Ba was coming, so he stopped working early. But she was a little nervous because she knew that Wei Ba was going to play against Mrs. Zhang today, and she had no confidence in whether the two could talk. 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 looked at Wei Ba's face first, and then quickly looked at Xiahou Hui. After spending several months with Xiahou Hui, she is more willing to get close to Xiahou Hui's wife. Although some people reminded her that Xiahou Hui is from Wei and marrying Wei Ba is a forced one, as a mother, she is willing to get close to all those who are willing to treat her son well.

Xiahou Hui nodded with a smile, quickly approached Deng's arm, and whispered a few words in her ear after hearing this. Deng's hand 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 bad words to say."

Wei Ba looked at Xiahou Hui in surprise. He saw yesterday that although Xiahou Hui had no status in this family, he was a very popular person. Now I heard that I trust her very much, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

The little girl Lan'er came up and grabbed Wei Ba's hand: "Brother, aren't you going to pick mulberry today?"

"Brother has something to do, so I won't go to pick mulberry trees today." Wei Ba touched her bun and smiled and said, "Is pick mulberry trees fun?"

"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 can she manage the family in the future? Not everyone can have the luck of being as good as Sister Yuanrong and marry a real man like Brother."

Wei Ba was stunned, squatted down, gently grabbed Lan'er's little face: "Little girl, how old are you? Why did you think of such a thing?"

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

"Puff!" Wei Ba squirted out, Lan'er blushed and turned around and hid behind Li's back, refusing to come out again. Wei Ba smiled and shook her head: "Aunt Li, don't scare Lan'er anymore, look what makes her worried. How can our daughter of the Wei family marry an ordinary family in the future and still pick mulberry and silkworms? Don't learn this. In a few days, find a mature gentleman to teach her how to read and read, and let the mistress help her find a wealthy family in the future."

Li touched his daughter's face and smiled and said, "I don't have the kind of good fortune as your mother. This girl will be satisfied if she can marry an ordinary person in the future and live a peaceful life. Now the family needs money everywhere, so how can I hire a gentleman for her?"

Xiahou Hui walked to Lan'er, hugged her in his arms, and smiled and said, "I have a few words too, so why don't I enlighten Lan'er. Is it good to Lan'er?"

"Okay, okay." Lan'er happily hugged Xiahou Hui's neck and danced. "I want to learn to recognize words with my sister."

"You can learn to recognize words, but you must not be foolish by her." Wei Ba curled his lips, "Women cannot be stupid, but they cannot be too smart. If they are too smart, men will be under pressure."

Lan'er giggled and said, "Sister Yuanrong is so smart. Brother, are you under pressure?"

Wei Ba opened his arms and said exaggeratedly: "I am under a lot of pressure."

Lan'er laughed louder.

After talking for a while, Xiahou Hui helped Deng get on the car and went out with the envious eyes of Li and Lan'er. Wei Ba specially opened the curtain and asked the carriage to sway the carriage to sway in the Wei family manor. Deng was very uncomfortable and asked Wei Ba to pull the curtain down several times, but Wei Ba did not listen to him. Deng was very uncomfortable, and in the end, Xiahou Hui advised her that Wei Ba was not to show off, but to arouse the ambition of others, and to let those Wei family children who are underage or about to become adults have goals, so that they can gather people's hearts and work together to revitalize the Wei family. With this great goal, Deng no longer said anything.

Wei Ba went to the Wu Mansion first, and Wu Yi's wife came out to meet him in person. Wei Ba presented ten pieces of Shu brocade and conveyed Wu Yi's message. In fact, the so-called report of peace is just a reason. Wei Ba wanted to take this opportunity to get close to people from various factions. If the Wei family wants to be in peace for a long time, they must have allies in the court. Otherwise, when the Wei family is in trouble, there will be no one who can help you speak, and no matter how great the grievance is, they deserve it. The father Wei Yan's popularity is too bad, so he will definitely not be able to rely on. The eldest brother Wei Feng is a dull person, so he can only establish a network of relationships from scratch. Mrs. Zhang of course also knows the importance of this matter, and even knows that although he is a little stronger than his father and elder brother in this regard, he is also limited. Xiahou Hui is obviously very good at this, so he takes the initiative to make concessions and asks Xiahou Hui to help him.

Obviously, Mrs. Zhang's decision was very wise. Xiahou Hui said a few words to make Mrs. Wu Yi laugh and said to Deng, "You are lucky and have a good daughter-in-law." Although Deng is from a famous family, she has seen it too small after all, and she didn't need to come forward in these things before. She suddenly met a noble person like the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, so she was naturally uneasy. Faced with Mrs. Wu Yi's praise, she would not say anything except laughing.

Xiahou Hui bowed quietly: "Mrs. I praise you, but I dare not take it."

Mrs. Wu Yi smiled and said, "I deserve it, I deserve it."

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

Mrs. Wu Yi was stunned and then asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Brother Ling is coming to Chengdu and wants to marry him according to the order?"

Xiahou Hui smiled faintly and said, "If the Han and Wei dynasties fight, this relative may not be able to get along with each other."

Mrs. Wu Yi thought something and turned her eyes to Wei Ba. "Wei joins the army, should this matter be serious?"

Wei Ba smiled helplessly: "Although this matter is unfair to Yuanrong, the Prime Minister's concerns have his own reasons. National affairs are the priority, so how can I miss the big things for my children's personal affairs?"

Mrs. Wu Yi sighed softly: "National affairs and state affairs, this is your men's business, so why bother us women?"

Wei Ba was silent. Wu Yi owed him a favor, and he also needed to owe Wu Yi a favor, not to even out of order, but to have the opportunity to get closer to the Wu family. No matter whether the Wu family could help this, he had an excuse to thank Wu Yi, and he would always stay in the future and have an excuse to take care of each other. For the Wu family, they also needed someone like him to be an ally, otherwise the Wu family's career in Shu Han would become narrower and narrower, and sooner or later they would be squeezed out of the court by the Jingxiang Group.

The so-called friendship is not reliable, only interests are the most real. In the officialdom, there cannot be no friendship, but most of the time, friendship is not the opponent of interests. Friendship with a basis for interests is the most stable friendship. In the power society of emperors, if you want to occupy a place in the court as quickly as possible, what is better than getting close to the emperor? Even in later generations, what is the relationship more harder than being close to the top leader?

The reason why Cao Cao was able to establish the Ba Mansion was because he used force to control the emperor, and the reason why Zhuge Liang was able to establish the Ba Mansion was because he had the entrusted by the late emperor. The methods they used were different, but the effect was the same. If you took the emperor in your own hands, you would naturally have the right to speak.

Although Zhuge Liang was not as domineering as Cao Cao was to Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie, wasn’t he arranged Dong Yun, Guo Youzhi, Xiang Chong and others to the emperor for the same purpose? If he wanted to establish a relationship with the emperor through Zhuge Liang’s line, there would be no chance. He could only find another way and find a breakthrough from the empress dowager and the queen. The Zhang family had a very good relationship with Zhuge Liang, and wanted Empress Zhang to help him speak. Even if he had a good relationship with Zhang Shao, even if he had a Xiahou Hui, Empress Zhang would hesitate. However, the Wu family was not. Zhuge Liang was always very excluded from the Wu family, and the Wu family’s desire to cooperate with him was even stronger.

I believe Mrs. Zhang also thought of this, so she took ten pieces of Shu brocade at one time. Shu brocade is a specialty specialty, with a price of at least one gold on the market. For example, the high-end goods rewarded by the palace at least one piece of hardware, and ten pieces of brocade is fifty gold. It is an self-evident gift, especially when the Wei family's economy is very tight.

With Mrs. Wu Yi's words, Wei Ba knew that his goal had been achieved, so he talked to Wu Yi's son Wu Yu and Wu Min for a while, then said goodbye and then went to the Zhang family again.

The Zhang family's affairs are relatively easy to talk about. With Xiahou Hui's relationship here, Wei Ba does not need to come forward at all. Mrs. Xiahou understood their purpose. They may not be willing to help Wei Ba, but they will not refuse to win a title for Xiahou Hui. Even if the marriage is not feasible, the title of the wife is not a big problem.

After leaving the Zhang family, Wei Ba immediately went to the Guan family. The Guan family lived in Xuanming Gate and occupied a district like the Zhang family, which was a natural prime location. However, like the Zhang family, the Guan family was also sparsely populated. Guan Yu passed away for many years, and his eldest son Guan Ping died with him. Guan Yu's wife was too sad and passed away. The current head of the family Guan Xing has not returned on the front line, but the person in charge is Guan Xing's sister Guan Feng.

Wei Ba was quite curious about this legendary woman, but he never expected that he had just arrived and had not finished his polite words, but Guan Feng made an incredible request to him.

"I heard that Wei Chanjun is not only good at boxing skills, but also good at a weapon called gun. He has no reason to change and is unwilling to show it to others easily. I have no strengths, and I have no virtue and good deeds. But the sword skills learned from my father back then are quite reasonable. I wonder if I can compete with Wei Chanjun?"

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, looking at Guan Feng's face, which was not as beautiful as a beauty, but also vigorous, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "Where did this... girl... hear about it?"

Guan Feng's face turned cold and his eyebrows stood up: "Why, Wei Zongjun looked down on me?"
