"Madam is a person who knows the general situation, how could she stand up for two domestic slaves and go against me?" Wei Ba smiled brightly and felt at ease. "Although I am not her biological child, I still call her Amu in name.
Whether it’s Manager Zhang or Huan’er, they are all domestic slaves, not to mention I didn’t do anything wrong, so why would Madam punish her son, who did nothing wrong, for the sake of two domestic slaves?”
Steward Chen smiled bitterly and thought to himself, you really think of yourself as Madam's son. Madam only has Wei Feng in her heart, never you. In her mind, Steward Zhang and Huan'er, the two personal servants, are definitely better than you.
Bastards are much more important.
"We still have important things to do, and we don't have time to meddle in such noisy matters." Wei Ba patted Manager Chen on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if something happens, Madam will not wait until I finish these things.
Punish me."
Manager Chen nodded. He believed that although Mrs. Zhang was a little intolerant, she generally understood. Several things Wei Ba is doing now are very important to the Wei family. Mrs. Zhang will not trouble Wei Ba at this point.
. He was suddenly startled. He raised his head and looked at Wei Ba's smiling face, as if he had some realization. The young master must have been sure that the madam could not do anything to him, so he attacked Manager Zhang and Huan'er one after another.
Dangerous?
Steward Chen suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. The appearance of Wei Ba in front of him had not changed, but the expression between his eyebrows was completely different. Could it be that the young master had finally enlightened himself? Or had some adventure happened?
On the small building in the backyard, Mrs. Zhang looked at Huan'er who was soaked all over, with an embarrassed look on her face. After hearing Huan'er's cry, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look evil in her eyes. Huan'er lowered his head and paid attention with the corner of his eye.
Madam Zhang’s eyes were sobbed from time to time, sounding extremely sad. She was deeply trusted by Madam Zhang, and she knew that in Madam’s mind, she was a bit more important than the chief steward Zhang Ping, but today she was humiliated like this by Wei Ba
, she believed that Madam would not remain indifferent.
Mrs. Zhang took out a few heavy breaths and suddenly asked: "Isn't he doing some accounting? Why did he go to Tiezuo again?"
Huan'er was speechless for a moment. In order to arouse Madam's anger and reduce Madam's scruples, she didn't say anything about Wei Ba's development of new weapons. Unexpectedly, although Madam was furious, she still sensitively captured this detail.
"He brought three blacksmiths back and said they wanted to make some kind of iron. To do this, they had to stop processing weapons. So the maid reminded him. He became angry and deliberately teased the maid, even in front of so many people.
The servant pushed the maid into the sink in front of the servant, humiliating the maid, wuwuwu..."
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows: "The three blacksmiths brought back from Mianyang?"
Huan'er nodded while sobbing. Water dripped from her hair and wet the floor. Mrs. Zhang looked at her with some displeasure and sneered: "You are so brave, how dare you gossip in front of me?"
Huan'er was startled, raised her pale face, and looked at Madam Zhang aggrievedly and sadly: "Madam, how dare you, my maid?"
"Humph, I noticed that you have become more and more courageous recently. Not only did you bully those servants, but you also dared to deceive me. In order to block Wei Ba, Zhang Ping even dared to delay such an important matter. You are even more bold,
Wei Ba is doing Tie Yi's thing, you kept it from me, and you came to me to complain, how dare you say you are not stirring up trouble?"
Huan'er exclaimed: "Madam, this servant really doesn't have one. He has never been to an iron factory. How can he know about blacksmithing and what kind of new weapons he has made? When he heard it, he knew it was..."
"Shut up." Upon hearing the words "new weapons," Mrs. Zhang understood even more. Her face was livid and furious. "The general asked him to bring three blacksmiths back. Is it just random? Even if he doesn't understand blacksmithing, then
Three blacksmiths don’t understand? Our Wei family has no shortage of blacksmiths at all. The general asked them to come to the Wei family because they have skills that our Wei family does not have. You don’t understand this?"
Huan'er was speechless and didn't dare to talk in front of Mrs. Zhang anymore. She finally understood that although Mrs. Zhang rarely went downstairs, she was as shrewd as ever. They were really asking for trouble if they tried to hide it from her.
"The matter of the account is just a matter of dispute and a bet on one breath, but Tie Yi is related to real food, and weapons are related to the military exploits of the general and A Feng. They are the foundation of our Wei family.
, I believe you know what is more important than the account page. Huan'er, do you think you are too smart, or do you think I am old and easy to fool?"
Mrs. Zhang's voice was so cold and cold that Huan'er felt chills rush to the back of her head. She didn't dare to say anything anymore. She just kowtowed and burst into tears. She thought of what Wei Ba said just now, and Madam would naturally give her a fair punishment.
As a result, now she understood that Wei Ba had long known that what he was doing was very important, so he was confident. Thinking about the tragic situation of Zhang Ping being tortured to death with a cane in public, she was so frightened that she was afraid that if his wife gave an order, he would be killed.
If she were to do the same thing, even if she was not beaten to death, she would not be able to see anyone.
Seeing her look like this, Mrs. Zhang's expression softened a little, and she felt a little pity in her heart. After all, this was her maid who had been with her for many years. Today, she was teased by Wei Ba in public. It would be shameful not to express it. But what Wei Ba said
What he was doing was a big deal and couldn't be delayed, and Huan'er was humiliated because he asked for it. Wei Ba pushed her into the sink and nominally saved her life, otherwise she would have been burned alive, and she had
What is the reason to punish Wei Ba?
Of course, Wei Ba's method of playing tricks on Huan'er was not clever, but it was a childish prank. He didn't seem to want to hide it from her. As soon as he returned to the village, he punished two of her cronies in succession. This meant
Already very clear.
What did he want to do? Mrs. Zhang was extremely angry and secretly guessed Wei Ba's deeper intentions. She thought for a long time and decided to put it aside for the time being. The iron and weapons Wei Ba was developing were too important to the Wei family. For this reason, she could let
If Wei Ba continues to be arrogant for a few more days, let's see what tricks he can come up with. She has been married to the Wei family for nearly thirty years, what kind of battle has she not seen, and how can she be overshadowed by a bratty kid with no weak crown?
"Huan'er, my Nanyang Zhang family repays kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. We have clear grievances. Wei Ba saved your life, you should go and thank him." Mrs. Zhang regained her composure and waved her hand gently: "You first
Go and wash it, then go to the warehouse to get four pieces of Shu brocade, make a new brocade suit, and get two more pieces to send to his mother, Deng, as my gratitude to her son."
Huan'er felt relieved, responded, and quickly got up and left.
Wei Ba patrolled back and forth between the printing and ironmaking places, and did not return to the small courtyard where his mother and son lived at night. Naturally, he did not know what happened in the backyard. It was not until Wei Wu came to tell him that he knew that there had been a lot of discussion in the backyard. There was a lot of discussion.
The focus is of course Wei Ba, who has always been weak and easy to bully. When he came back this time, he first dealt with Zhang Ping, the chief steward around Madam Zhang, and then "rescued" his personal maid Huan'er. Madam Zhang not only fully supported him in punishing Zhang Ping, but also "rescued" his personal maid Huan'er.
Huan'er was even asked to bring two pieces of Shu brocade to express her gratitude, which was a great honor. Although Deng and others were concubines and were nominally higher than Huan'er, in fact Huan'er had always been superior to them. If it hadn't been for Zhang
The madam refused to let Wei Yan take Huan'er as a concubine. Their master and servants had long dominated the inner rooms of the Wei family. There would be no chance for the Deng family to get a share of the pie.
"It seems that this girl's status in her heart is much higher than that of Zhang Ping. After saving a girl, she also sent two pieces of Shu brocade to express her gratitude. How is this a thank you? This is clearly a demonstration." Wei Ba muttered to himself, and couldn't help but express his gratitude.
I admire Mrs. Zhang's method. Not only did she not lose face, but she also showed her housewife's demeanor. She was not giving him Wei Ba face, but because he Wei Ba was doing something beneficial to the Wei family. She had already
After achieving the ultimate goal, if he, Wei Ba, cannot complete these inventions, then everything he does next will be returned to him as a Bengali, leaving others speechless.
Use retreat to advance, use defense to attack, and then wait for opportunities to defend and counterattack. Mrs. Zhang is indeed a woman from a wealthy family. This method is so clever that people can only feel grateful, but it is difficult to detect the counterattack method. Like her mother, Deng, a little bit
He didn't realize that he was still singing praises to Mrs. Zhang, asking him to do a good job and repay Mrs. Zhang's concern.
Of course it is necessary to do things well. Whether it is to repay Mrs. Zhang's concern is another matter. However, he is still very satisfied with Mrs. Zhang's caution. He is not afraid of Mrs. Zhang's follow-up measures. What he is afraid of is Zhang.
If the wife is reckless and reckless, then he will have to worry about it. It is easier to deal with a reasonable leader than an unreasonable leader.
"I understand. You go back and tell grandma that I've been busy these two days, so I won't go back to sleep. I'll go talk to her when I'm done." Wei Ba said to Wei Wu, "I want to ask you something.
,How many soldiers in our family have the strength of the ten men today?"
Those ten soldiers, who were fully armed and carried a month's rations, just as Dunwu said, they easily ran sixty miles in only half a day. After they came down, they didn't even notice how tired they were. Their bodies were really strong.
This surprised Wei Ba. However, Wei Ba had already read the records about the Wei soldiers trained by Wu Qi, and knew that the Wei soldiers could run a hundred miles in only half a day, and could immediately go into battle after arriving at their destination.
Compared with Wei's military soldiers, the Wei family's military soldiers are not abnormal.
Wei Wu blinked: "Our Wei family has always maintained a membership of around 3,000 people. There are about 60% of people with this level."
The sixth achievement was less than 2,000 people. Wei Ba shook his head regretfully. It was far from enough to complete his father's Ziwu Valley plan by relying on the Wei family's tribe alone.
"Dad also has county soldiers, how many of them are so strong?"
Wei Wu sneered: "County soldiers? How can any of those county soldiers be so strong? They are conscripted and recruited soldiers, how can they be compared with our Wei family's tribe. Those recruited soldiers were originally farmers.
It's good if you can pick up weapons and fight. The conditions for recruiting people are better, but if you have such strong abilities, the price is scary, and you can't afford to recruit them."
"What's the level of the county soldiers?"
Wei Wu curled his lips: "The total load does not exceed a hundred kilograms, which can barely keep up with the speed of our Wei family."————
