2.40 Banquet at the Hou Mansion, next steps

Half a month later, in front of the main hall of Duke Xiu's Mansion, the atmosphere of the audience was warm and crowded.

"Hahahaha!" The entire banquet was filled with uncontrollable laughter.

The successors of the Eight Dukes, the heirs of each family, and other major personnel of the martial arts camp with positions, such as Feng Tang, the general of the martial arts, Qiu Liang, the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses, and even all the personnel above the fourth rank were all present.

The reason is to celebrate Hou Xiaokang's appointment as the commander of the Fifth Army Battalion, but the entire Four Kings and Eight Dukes Group turned the celebration reception into a gathering for everyone.

The Duke of Xiuguo is naturally happy to see the results. As for the extra money spent, it is really not a problem.

A banquet lasted from less than [-] o'clock in the morning to after three o'clock in the afternoon, and all the participants finally had a good time and went home.

However, all the core personnel, including the high-level personnel mentioned above, gathered in the main hall to continue discussing matters. The only one absent was Jia Amnesty, who really couldn't leave the Rongguo Mansion.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a good time, hahahaha!" Even with Niu Jizong's psychological quality, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart at this time.

"I'm afraid we won't know what's going on in the palace, but I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very busy these days, and several truckloads of porcelain are shipped!" Ma Shang said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, this time not only kept the position of the commander, but also a bunch of little things at home. Finally, they don't have to eat, drink and play all day long, and they are discarded day by day." Liu Fang was also deeply moved.

"Speaking of it, I have to thank the Wei family boy." Hou Xiaokang couldn't hide the smile on his face, "In the future, we only need to follow suit, and worry about the little ones not having a future?"

This time the assassination incident was really sudden, and everyone was unprepared, because the original plan was to use the chance of victory in the contest to operate, but unexpectedly this time it went smoother.

Most of the positions reported for under [-] households are actually the children of various families. It's not that the Ministry of War can't see it, it's just that the upper echelons are fighting for the position of the commander of the Fifth Army Battalion, and they really don't have the energy to care about other things.

After all, politics is the art of compromise and exchange. If the superiors don’t give, the subordinates don’t. Is it true that these generations of martial arts families have no temper or no resources to do it?
This allowed a group of honorable children to take advantage of the loopholes. Otherwise, it was not that they had never done it before, but except for the heirs of various families who mixed up a hundred households and still had no status, the others were all for nothing.

Today, all the elders of each family have full-time jobs, and Niu Ben and Liu Dong even hold the title of deputy thousand households. They will basically fill in every vacancy in the future, with a bright future.

Even most of the concubines and nephews are mixed with Baihu and Zongqi, and they are all real-time jobs. For example, Liu Xianglian is now a real-time Baihu of the Three Thousand Battalion, which is really full of benefits.

"Uncle Hou's reputation is too high, my nephew is ashamed!" Wei Xu hurriedly humbled.

"The only problem now is that I don't know when this contest will be postponed." Niu Ben said unwillingly.

"It doesn't matter. It's a pity that the theater troupes of each family have to withdraw first. At this critical time, it's better not to give that person eye drops. Anyway, the theater troupe is still there, and it can be any time in the future." Wei Xu said with a smile.

Everyone at the scene laughed. This kind of thing must spread as much as possible. As a result of "letting the bullets fly", once the whole country forms a public opinion, even the emperor can't help it!

"Okay, you don't have to be humble, and you should communicate more with that bastard in my family in the future, young people, you must have a few friends, right?

Another point, just yesterday, the eldest brother sent someone to notify the two princes of the Northland that the original plan was temporarily canceled because there was no need to waste it. " Niu Jizong said with a smile.

Except for Niu Ben who was scolded as a "bad boy" and turned into a bitter face, everyone else looked at Wei Xu enviously, which was tantamount to admitting his friendly relationship with Niu Ben and the Niu family in the future.

Today's Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion is recognized by the world as the second noble family besides the four kings with different surnames!
"The two northern princes?" Wei Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"Since the one above is eyeing Prince Beijing, then let Prince Dongping take action. Anyway, the matter is from him, so we can solve it there.

It's a pity that this time, there is no need to waste resources. The person above doesn't have the energy to take care of us anymore, just save it and arrange it for the next time. Ma Shang explained with a smile.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Hou Xiaokang waved his hand, then turned to Wei Xu and said, "Your affairs have also been arranged, and it happens to be an auspicious day in a few days, so Mrs. Wei must come to the Qin family to hire her.

But in this way, you may not be able to live in Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion for a few days, but have you found a place to live?If not, it's okay, there is a small courtyard in front of the mansion.Don't be too small, a couple doesn't need a few people. "

The onlookers were once again envious. Hou Xiaokang's expression was completely looking at his nephew. No wonder, he was able to get the position of commander of the Fifth Army Battalion, mostly because of Wei Xu.

As for the so-called "small courtyard", no one in the room took it seriously, the mansion that could be given away by the Xiuguo Mansion would be someone who was throwing himself away.

"Thank you Uncle Hou, but my nephew can only accept it with his heart." Wei Xu quickly refused, mainly because he didn't need it. "My nephew is not talented. There happens to be a house in front of his house, so he can still live in it." "Huh?" Everyone said They all looked at him in surprise. After all, it was an iron rule that a concubine should not build private property. Where did he get his house?What's more, where did he get the money?
"In front of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion?" Qiu Liang, the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division, suddenly said, "There have been quite a few houses that have been transferred in the past six months, but there is only one that meets the requirements not far in front of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.

But those are two good boys bought by two little Jian slaves who ran back from Baishan Heishui, are they yours?It's a good business at the foot of Niutou Mountain. "

The Wucheng Bingma Division is the main body of law and order in the entire capital, which is equivalent to the real-life Beijing City Patrol Bureau. It also runs part of the urban management, industry and commerce, sanitation and even fire-fighting businesses.

Although there are a lot of people on his head that can't be provoked, but when it comes to the source of the news, I'm afraid no one can surpass it.

What's more, Cao Yunqi and Zhou Yunyang registered their identities in the name of "escaping from Jiannu", so they must register with the Wucheng Bingma Division.

"Their identities are very special. They are senior guards of the palace of Jiannu. When they fled back, Jiannu masters even went into the city to hunt them down. My nephew took care of them.

They felt the grace of saving their lives and were straightforward, so they recognized their masters, and their little nephew arranged for them to take care of some small things outside. "Wei Xu said with a smile.

"The two of them are not simple!" Qiu Liang looked at Wei Xu with a complicated expression, "The place at the foot of Niutou Mountain happens to be the place that must pass through when going south from the capital.

It is only twenty miles away from the capital, and it is also the best place to stay before entering the capital. There are plenty of people who want that place, but because no one can sit still, it is vacant.

After the two of them started building, at least a dozen forces wanted to reach out, but they were all picked by the two. In just two months, no one dared to provoke them.

I heard that in the capital palace alone, three families sent people to recruit, but the two of them refused. I didn't expect it to be yours. "

"Boom—" Now everyone stared at Wei Xu in surprise.

Cao Yunqi and Zhou Yunyang arrived at the foot of Niutou Mountain as soon as they obtained enough funds to start building inns and warehouses. Building houses was the same in every dynasty.

In just over half a month, a small building with two floors and ten rooms rose from the ground. After the decoration was completed, it opened for business. Now it has been in operation for more than half a month.

The construction was fine, but some people made trouble. Just after the completion, some people wanted to pick peaches. The two of them were not polite at all. In the future, only one will be killed to report the news, and one ear was specially cut off.

Afterwards, multiple forces and even different forces joined forces to attack, and both of them were killed. Wei Xu even made a move and killed the leaders of the two gangs in the city. Now everything is going well.

"Uncle Qiu's reputation is too high, but my nephew's situation is special, I hope all uncles will help keep it a secret." Wei Xu smiled and did not deny it.

The exposure of these things at this time is actually for the future. Since the two slaves Cao Yunqi and Zhou Yunyang have already made their names, there is no need to doubt the strength of Wei Xu, the master.

Just like what Hou Xiaokang said just now, everyone in the capital should know about Mrs. Wei's attitude towards him. Once he and Qin Keqing get engaged, at most they will be married, and they will definitely live separately.

The problem is that with the family belongings of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, Wei Xu's life may not be easy. Once Hou Xiaokang's house is given away, his position as the commander of the Fifth Army Battalion will definitely be repaid.

But Wei Xu didn't care about this. After all, money is easy to earn, but favors are hard to repay. There will be plenty of time in the future, and he may be able to use it at any time.

Once the family is separated, he, the second son who doesn't have much status in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, can only act in his own capacity in the future, don't forget that he doesn't have any position now.

In this way, in the entire Four Kings and Eight Dukes Group, no matter how capable he is, he can only deal with various affairs in vain. I am afraid it will be difficult to handle in the future.

Not only that, it's not that he didn't think about entering the barracks directly, the problem is that the limelight these days is too great, compared with a group of honorable children, he may have offended many people secretly.

As the saying goes, "three people can distinguish between left, middle and right", does anyone really think that the Xungui Group is harmonious?

What's more, for the vast majority of noble children, face is more important than life, but kindness, which is probably not in their dictionary.

In other words, for a long period of time to come, Wei Xu can only get up, and then use the circle that has been opened up by the current situation to try to make his status as high as possible.

With the golden finger instilled by Yupei's memory, Wei Xu felt that the imperial examination was a good way, and it could just cover up some things that he was not convenient to reveal temporarily.

For example, private forces, because if Cao Yunqi and Zhou Yunyang are just masters, few people actually care, but they are also the heads of forces under Wei Xu!
