Chapter 551: Disappointment

Because the Pei family has to keep filial piety behind closed doors and inquire about the news, they can't do it too obviously, so the time to get the letter is a little later than that of other families. By the time they heard the news, Chu Yuniang had already entered the East Palace and officially canonized Liangyuan, and the news that the crown princess valued her very much came out.

Pei Second Master Pei Third Master couldn't care about his filial piety, so he hurriedly sent his confidants and quietly contacted the friend who introduced them to the Tang family at the beginning, wanting to ask the other party to explore the Tang family's tone, and at the same time, it was also reminding the Tang family that since they had received a heavy gift at the beginning, how could they break their promise now? The Chu family entered the palace when she entered the palace, but how could she never enter the newcomer again? The Tang family promised to let the Pei family daughter enter the East Palace!

At the beginning, the Pei family contacted not Tang Lao Shangshu, Mrs. Tang Lao, or their son and daughter-in-law, but Tang Lao Shangshu's nephew. He can also be regarded as a master of the imperial examination and a family, and speaking of which, speaking in the Tang family also has some weight. His wife also had a good relationship with the concubines, and was valued by Mrs. Donald. Reasoning, if this person wants to recommend someone's girl to the crown princess, the crown princess will not generally treat it as if she didn't hear it.

It's just that things are unfortunate that the crown princess has been sick for several months, and during this period, even Mrs. Tang wants to enter the palace to see her daughter once, but she often gets no approval, not to mention the cousin and cousin-in-law of the crown princess? Since the Pei family wants to keep filial piety, it is naturally impossible to mention the idea of entering the palace. If the second girl Pei missed the opportunity, it would be the fate of the Pei family, no wonder others. The nephew of the Tang family didn't take this matter too seriously. As for the heavy gift, it was just that there were a few ancient paintings in it, and he would accept it happily when he saw that it was good. But ancient paintings are not very rare and precious, if the Pei family intends to use this to blackmail him into doing something, he would rather return the gift.

The nephew of the Tang family did not mince words about the Pei family who came to the door, and he also disliked them for wearing filial piety, which was too unlucky. However, he still told the Pei family brothers frankly that Pei Guogong died at a bad time, otherwise he would have asked his wife to recommend Pei Eryu to the crown princess. It was precisely because Miss Pei Er lost her qualification for the draft that the crown princess chose Chu Yuniang. At this time, his cousin didn't even have the confidence to complain about the crown princess.

Now is no longer the time for the crown princess to do what she wants, His Royal Highness the prince said in person that he will not accept other concubines, the princess and the Tang family can only accept it, and there is no reason to persuade the prince to accept a few beauties. Since the Pei family is hopeless, there is no need to entangle it in the future, and it is good to keep filial piety at home with peace of mind, this is the etiquette that people like the Guogong Mansion should have. As for the gift, he will return it and will not take advantage of the Pei family.

When Pei Sanye heard this, his face turned pale, and he wanted to say a few words, but he didn't have the courage to be presumptuous in the Tang family. They still changed their clothes today, and quietly came to the door under the eyes and ears of others. If it is known that the two brothers visited the Tang family during the filial piety period, the imperial historians will definitely have something to say, and Tang Laoshangshu will also be displeased. Older people are always more taboo than ordinary people.

Second Master Pei is more shrewd than his brother. Of course, he was distressed, but he could never take it back! The matter of his niece and daughter's entry into the palace had come to naught, and if he took back the things because he was reluctant to take back that property, he would definitely offend the nephew of the Tang family. In other words, Pei Erye himself, what fell into his hands, where could he be so happy to give it up? Even if he didn't say anything, he would hold a grudge in his heart. The same must be true of the nephew of the Tang family. Pei Er Ye plans not to mention the matter of taking back the heavy gift, so that the other party can continue to keep it, then maybe the other party can still leave a good impression on the Pei family, and in the future, when their brother is full of filial piety, the other party is willing to reach out to help. Otherwise, everything is really beneficial to rely on the connections left by the deceased father, and it will only cheapen the eldest brother first, when will it be the turn of the two brothers?

Pei Erye grabbed his brother and politely told the Tang family's nephew that the gift was a meeting gift, not a thank you gift for asking the other party to help with things, and there was no reason to take it back. The niece lost the opportunity to enter the East Palace, she was not blessed, and she would never dare to complain. It's just that since the two families have already met, they can be regarded as friends. When filial piety is served, friends should continue to communicate with each other. Their father also collected a lot of famous paintings and monuments during his lifetime, and few people in the family were good at this aspect, so they would have to ask the other party to help identify them in the future.

The nephew of the Tang family listened to it smoothly and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." "My impression of Second Master Pei is much better. It is not his fault that Miss Pei Er can't enter the palace, no one wants this kind of wrong result. The Pei family can still maintain their sanity and distinguish between right and wrong, and they are the ones they can befriend. He is also very interested in Pei Guogong's collection, if he can add a few more good words and paintings to himself, he doesn't mind continuing to communicate with the Pei family, and also saves those calligraphy and paintings from falling into the hands of the illiterate Pei family brothers.

Second Master Pei and Third Master Pei didn't delay too long in the Tang family, so they withdrew. As soon as the brothers got into the carriage, their faces drooped. The long-awaited plan turned out to be in vain, and both of them were a little difficult to accept. Thinking about the future, they feel even more at a loss.

Pei Sanye also complained about his brother: "Why didn't the second brother ask for the gift he gave back at the beginning? Do you know how much money that heavy gift cost me? I have saved up for several years! I also lost two of my beloved calligraphy and paintings! If it is really useful, it is just that, and now that the bamboo basket is empty, and the things are not coming back, won't I suffer a big loss?!"

Pei Erye reluctantly explained to him, but Pei Sanye was still a little puzzled: "What's this? I'm just a prisoner, and I've never been a prisoner." How else can the Tang family block me?"

Second Master Pei's heart was suffocated, and he was secretly annoyed. Pei Sanye is not afraid of the Tang family's revenge, but he still has an official position! Pei Sanye is not afraid, he is afraid, okay?!

However, this could not be said explicitly, and Pei Erye could only say euphemistically: "My nephew can't enter the palace, so she will get married." My nephew will also go to school in the future. If you offend the Tang family, the children will definitely be affected. ”

Pei Sanye said with some sadness and indignation: "No matter how prominent the Tang family is, it has not yet reached the point where one hand can cover the sky!

Second Master Pei couldn't help but pout: "Why does Uncle Shou Shanbo want to protect you?

Pei Sanye was a little disapproving: "Shou Shanbo is the in-law of the Qin family, we are also the in-laws of the Qin family, we are all relatives, what can't we say?

But whether it is the Yu family of Shoushan Bofu, or the Qin family of Chengenhou Mansion and Yongjiahou Mansion, they are all the in-laws of Dafang!

Seeing that his brother couldn't make sense, Pei Erye was bored in his heart, and he didn't bother to talk to him, so he closed his eyes and silently recuperated, while thinking about how to go next.

Seeing this, although Pei Sanye stopped messing with him, he was very upset in his heart. He felt that the second brother's attitude towards him was not as close as before, could it be ...... Is it because his daughter can't enter the palace? But their brothers have always been close, and the second brother's behavior is too chilling......

There seemed to be another turmoil in the Pei family, and the second room of the Qin family also received an urgent message from the wedding girl sent by Qin Jinyi, and was very shocked that the second girl Pei entered the palace to take a bath.

Qin Bofu and the Xue family were still quite confident that Pei Er would become a concubine of the East Palace, because the Pei family had repeatedly said that they had opened the door to the Tang family. Now that the prince has opened his mouth himself, no one's way is no longer useful. Miss Pei Er missed the best opportunity because of her filial piety, and she could only dispel the idea of entering the palace in the future and find another family to marry. At first glance, the Pei family didn't seem to have suffered a big loss, but Qin Bofu still felt very unlucky, and he was a little glad that he didn't really promise the Pei family anything at the beginning, and he got an official position in vain. The eldest daughter married into the Pei family, which was really a loss, but it was a good thing to marry this difficult daughter. Qin Bofu complained in his heart, but he was not too sad.

Xue cried a lot. If it weren't for the fact that the Pei family might become a relative, how could she let her precious eldest granddaughter marry into such a family?! What a big loss! Knowing this, she shouldn't have let Qin Jinyi marry into the Pei family in a hurry at that time, even if she decided on the family affairs first, and then married next year. Then she can think of an excuse to withdraw from the marriage now. However, Qin Jinyi has already visited Pei Cheng now, but there is no round room. Even if she returns after leaving, she is already a woman who has been married once, and it is almost impossible to find a good family again. She has been picky for a few years, and she actually chose such a family for her eldest granddaughter, how could she not regret it in her heart?

While Xue was crying bitterly, he remembered that it was his son who listened to the Pei family's rhetoric and agreed to this family business, so he pulled his son again, scolding and crying non-stop. Xiao Xue's sweating profusely helped to play the round, but the resentment in Qin Bofu's heart became deeper and deeper.

It was right that he had the intention to agree to the family, but he had no intention of letting his daughter marry a desolate relative, he just wanted to marry first. Isn't it the mother Xue family who was in a hurry to let Qin Jinyi pass through the door and helped Qin Jinyi deceive the Pei family? If there was no Xue family, how could Qin Jinyi fool the Pei family so easily? How could it be his responsibility now?!

The second room of the Qin family also caused a dispute, which caused Xiao Xue's headache. However, Qin Jinchun did not participate. She was now a little worried about Lord Minshun, and tried to hand over a post to the East Palace. I don't know if it's because the crown princess is in a good mood, or because the crown princess has reconciled with the county lord Minshun, this time, Qin Jinchun successfully got permission to enter the East Palace. She immediately cleaned herself up and went into the palace.

The county lord of Minshun looked okay, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry on his expression, and when he saw Qin Jinchun coming, he also greeted him kindly: "It's been a long time, it's good for you to look good." I've been busy preparing for a dowry lately, haven't I? I haven't been here for such a long time, but I heard the news about our East Palace, and I came to see the excitement?"

Qin Jinchun's cold sweat was about to drip down after saying a few words.
