When Pei Qingyun said this, he was not arrogant to show his family background, but explained it very calmly, and it did not make people feel annoyed.

Chang Xile is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and he no longer refuses, and takes the jade pendant.

Pei Qingyun's face suddenly softened a lot, "That's right, fortunately, you're not one of those pretentious scholars who don't know anything about the world, so you have to worry about some unnecessary things." Relying on brothers at home and friends when going out, if you have a mess in your heart, you will think too much and imprison yourself. ”

Chang Xile smiled, didn't want to stay longer, and arched his hand: "If there is nothing else, we will leave first." ”

"Wait."

"What else is going on with Pei Gongzi?"

"My entourage doesn't know what to do to find me, and I don't know if these bandits still have comrades, you good people do it to the end, can you escort me for a ride."

When Pei Qingyun said this, his expression was a little unnatural, his eyes flashed left and right, and his delicate and beautiful face was impossible to refuse.

Chang Xile remembered that Shen Baili had said that Pei Qingyun was older than him, but he couldn't see it at all when he looked at it like this. No wonder Shen Baili will be called black charcoal, standing in front of Pei Qingyun, he does look very rough, everything is contrasted.

Chang Xile did not refuse Pei Qingyun's request, but before leaving, he tied up all the ropes that several bandits brought with themselves, like a big lump of meat dumplings, to prevent them from waking up halfway and letting them run away.

Pei Qingyun kicked them a few more times before leaving, and then he clapped his hands and walked away with satisfaction, but he didn't take a few steps and stopped.

"You wait for me."

As he spoke, he ran back and made up for two more kicks.

"Everyone else kicked it, but two people didn't leave my footprints on them, and I always felt uncomfortable in my heart."

……

The Pei family's shops were everywhere, and not long after a few people walked out of the alley, they met the Pei family's shop selling fabrics.

As soon as Pei Qingyun appeared, the shopkeeper who was soliciting customers outside recognized him and hurriedly came over to salute.

"Go and call the shopkeeper." Pei Qingyun didn't talk nonsense with them, and said directly.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly went in to call someone, and the shopkeeper quickly ran out and saluted respectfully. Seeing that there was no one around Pei Qingyun, he couldn't help but be curious: "Third Young Master, why did you come alone, why didn't you see your entourage?" ”

Pei Qingyun didn't go around the bend with him, "I was designed to get lost, and I was almost tied up, you hurry up and report to the official, and those people are tied up in the alley next to Lao Zhao's bun shop in front." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was immediately shocked, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly called a guy and asked him to find the patrol officer.

"Third Young Master, I've frightened you, you went to the store to drink tea to suppress the shock, I have already ordered someone to call someone in the house."

Pei Qingyun called Chang Xile and Chang Yu, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, go up and have a cup of tea." ”

Before Chang Xile could refuse, Pei Qingyun said: "You have a very happy conversation with that black charcoal, but you can't do it with me?" We still have a fateful friendship, or ...... You don't look down on me? ”

Pei Qingyun's eyes showed obvious displeasure.

When it comes to this, Chang Xile is not easy to refuse. If it weren't for Fang Cai's appearance, he wouldn't want to have too much contact with Pei Qingyun, but now it is impossible to get rid of the relationship.

Moreover, Pei Qingyun is indeed unusual, and befriending him is also paving the way for himself.

Chang Xile entered the store with him, which has three floors, and the top floor is impossible for ordinary people to go up, which is the legendary VIP reception room.

Chang Xile also took a look when he passed by those cloths, the Pei family is an imperial businessman, although he doesn't know which business is offered, but the things in the industry under his name must be good.

Although it is only a quick glance, it can also be seen that the goods here are very good, and the weaving and dyeing skills are very high, several grades higher than the cloth village in Daoxiang County. Moreover, the decoration of the store is rich and gorgeous, and before I saw the goods, I felt that the things here must be expensive and good.

The three of them came to the inner room on the third floor, where the decoration was very elaborate and very elegant. Everything is carefully selected, and the contents of this room alone are worth a lot of money.

There are no chairs here, so you can only sit cross-legged.

The maids rushed in, and after a while, the small coffee table was full of all kinds of snacks and melons and fruits, all of which were rare and good things in the world. There is also a maid on the side to make tea for them, and her skills are so good that they are pleasing to the eye.

Pei Qingyun took a sip of tea, and then said, "Speaking of which, we have known each other for so long, and I still don't know your name." ”

Chang Xile arched his hand, "Don't give your surname Chang, your name is joyful." ”

Pei Qingyun laughed, "Your name is very festive." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chang Yu again, "What about this one?" ”

"Chang Yu." Chang Yu replied by himself.

Chang Xile was stunned, this was the first time Chang Yu took the initiative to introduce himself. However, he didn't show it at this time, so he just patted the back of his hand with his hand as a sign of encouragement.

The corners of Chang Yu's mouth curled, with a brilliant appearance, but he didn't rub it as usual.

"Chang Yu? A good name, you two are brothers? ”

"He's my brother."

Pei Qingyun looked at Chang Xile and then at Chang Yu, "The two of you don't look alike at all except that you are both good-looking." ”

Chang Xile couldn't help laughing, this Pei Qingyun was very good at talking, it was completely different from the appearance in front of Shen Baili, and his speech was much more beautiful. And the person is much calmer than the first time I saw it.,Although the appearance is too beautiful and childish.,But I can feel that it's not brainless.。

"Thank you Pei Gongzi for the compliment."

"He's only about ten years old now, right? The skills are too powerful, and none of the people under my hands have this ability, but the moves are a little strange. Pei Qingyun exclaimed.

Chang Xile was very proud in his heart, but he said modestly: "Pei Gongzi has won the award, my younger brother practices 'Tiger Boxing', so his form attack is very similar to that of a tiger." ”

This is purely Chang Xile's nonsense, but Pei Qingyun believes it. There are still people in his house who know what mantis boxing, snake boxing, etc., and the moves are also very weird.

"I see, but I don't know who the teacher is? I also have some knowledge, and there are not many people in this world who have such skills at such a young age. It stands to reason that it must be a famous teacher, but as far as I know, there are no famous masters who can do such tricks, isn't it a hermit? ”

Chang Xile paused and said, "Don't hide it from Pei Gongzi, my younger brother is not his own brother, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and his master was a hermit and died very early. It was because of a chance encounter that we became brothers. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and my brother is not good at expressing himself, and he remembers the past vaguely. ”

Pei Qingyun suddenly realized, "I see, to survive in a land full of birds and beasts at a young age, you must have extraordinary skills." It's so powerful now, and it will be a great weapon in the future. ”

Although Chang Xile never expected Chang Yu to become a big man, he was also happy when someone praised him like this, "I borrowed your auspicious words." ”

"I'm not just saying that."

Pei Qingyun made a gesture to ask the maid in the room to retreat, and then spoke again: "Don't look at me in the past, I used to emphasize literature and light martial arts, but now it's not like this." I have become richer and richer over the years, and the surrounding countries are eyeing each other, and the emperor is now becoming more and more powerful. I'm not afraid to tell you in advance, now the DPRK is planning to hold a martial arts exam, and this matter will be nine out of ten, and there will be not only Wen Zhuangyuan but also Wu Zhuangyuan! Chang Yu, this kid is so capable, so many big men are put down in an instant, if he goes to take the exam, he will definitely win the champion, even if he is not the champion, it is not difficult to get the official body with martial arts. ”

Chang Xile was a little excited when he heard this, "What you said is true?" The imperial court is preparing to hold a martial arts examination? ”

Pei Qingyun took a sip of tea, raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "The entire Pumpkin Mansion is the most well-informed of our Pei family, since I will say that it is eight to nine and ten, besides, I don't need to lie to you, maybe it will be next year at the latest." ”

Chang Xile can't calm down now, if that's the case, Chang Yu will have a way out in the future!

"Does Pei Gongzi know what the process of the martial arts examination is?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say, because it's the first time the exam is held, so I just need to be able to play. If you are interested, you had better seize this opportunity, otherwise you will become more and more strict in the future, and there will be more and more things to test. ”

Chang Xile nodded, the first session is often not well-known, and everyone is unprepared, and the number of participants is relatively small.

It's just that Chang Yu is too young and hasn't fully integrated into the world, so it's not a good thing to become famous too early. However, these can be considered again, and it is definitely a good thing to have an extra path now.

"Even if there is no martial arts test, according to Chang Yu's skills, if he is willing to serve my Pei family, he will definitely make a difference." Pei Qingyun threw out an olive branch.

Chang Xile smiled, and did not explicitly refuse, but said: "Thank you Pei Gongzi for your love, it's just that my younger brother is still young, and I have to ask the elders in the family for their opinions." ”、

"You don't have to worry too much about this, although young heroes are rare, they are not impossible. It is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, if he can get an official position now, because he does not have to go to the battlefield at a young age, but he can get the benefits brought by an official position. Especially this is the first time that a martial arts examination has been held, and in order to recruit talented people with strong martial arts, the imperial court will definitely reward the first group of people. ”

Chang Xile pondered for a moment, feeling that this analysis did have some truth. And everyone's tolerance for geniuses is also high, if Chang Yu is really famous, then his eccentricity will become a kind of genius special. Just like him, because of the excellence of the original body, everyone doesn't feel weird about what he does now, but only thinks that geniuses are different from mortals.

When Pei Qingyun saw this, he knew that Chang Xile listened to his words, and he was not purely kind, but also wanted to win over.

Chang Yu's ability is in his eyes, and he is a malleable talent. Although there are many capable people in this world, these two people look at them as clear-minded people, and they are still young and have no foundation, which is easier to take on their own than those who have become a faction.

There are not many people like Chang Yu who have no sect and no faction but have a good kung fu, and the others have their own ways, and there are too many interests involved, and it is very troublesome to cooperate.

Although their Pei family is rich and wealthy, they also have connections in the court, and Concubine Li also gave birth to a dragon son, who is favored by the emperor. But in the end, the foundation of the Shangjia House is too shallow, and it is necessary to encompass all the people who can be enveloped in order to ensure that it will not fall.

And now that he has led Chang Yu to the door, if he becomes a person at that time, they will be grateful, and they will feel close to the Pei family. And it doesn't take much effort in this, no matter whether Chang Yu succeeds in the end or not, it is only regarded as a good fate. Especially when the other party saved his life, he should do this.

"You have at least a year to think about it, don't rush. If you decide to participate, you can come to me when the time comes. Although it is a good thing that the first time is not so strict, but people with news of the way will also take the opportunity to seize the opportunity, you will suffer if you go alone, and you will not be able to be manipulated by others with the protection of my Pei family. ”

Chang Xile also understood Pei Qingyun's intentions at such an enthusiastic time at this time, and he didn't feel anything in his heart, but felt down-to-earth. In this world, it is not possible to rely on the door, and the Qian family can be so arrogant, isn't it just weaving a big net.

If he wants to fight against it, he must also weave a big net, otherwise he will be strangled to death if he shows his head.

"Thank you Pei Gongzi, we will consider it."

Although there was room for it, Pei Qingyun knew that this matter was almost the same, so he would not continue this topic.

"I saw that you were very interested in the cloth of my shop, and if you have anything to like, you will say yes. You and I are brothers, so you're welcome. ”

Pei Qingyun said this, which meant lowering his identity, after all, Chang Xile and Chang Yu are nothing now, but Pei Qingyun's identity is not ordinary. Although he saved Pei Qingyun's life, it is very likely that he will send some money as a thank you.

"It's just a casual look." Chang Xile thought about it after saying this, and said: "To tell you the truth, our village has the craft of brocade dyeing, but my small county town can't sell it for any price, so I want to bring the things made by the villagers here, and I also want to see if our craftsmanship is marketable in this mansion." ”

"Then you have found the right place, the cloth in our Peijia Cloth Village is the best in the entire Pumpkin Mansion, and even the best in the entire good country. Our cloth is even used by the ladies in the palace, but they are different from the folks, but they are all from our family. ”

"Can you show me the low-to-mid fabrics in the store?"

Pei Qingyun didn't have anything to do, so he asked the attendant to bring all the cloth samples.

"If your cloth is good, you can sell it to my house in the future."

Chang Xile has read all of them and has a general understanding of the market here. He can't do it finely, but he can still use the technology in his hand to lead the people of Taoyuan Village to try it in the middle and low-end market. However, at present, I am afraid that the advantage is not big, after all, he will not be very new in this regard, and it is very difficult to seize the market.

If you rely on the Pei family, you will be much smoother, but Chang Xile always feels that this is too coercive.

Kindness cannot be squandered at will, and it is best to use it when you need it most.

Pei Qingyun is an understanding person, and he knows very well what Chang Xile thinks, and said: "Don't worry too much, if the thing is not good, we will not accept it, I don't care about that money, but I can't joke about the family's business." ”

Chang Xile became a lot more relieved when he heard this, "It should be so, this is also responsible for each other." Otherwise, we think that our things are good, and if we don't want to make progress, we will only kill ourselves after all. ”

Pei Qingyun praised: "You are an understanding person, and I like to deal with understanding people the most." ”

Chang Xile smiled, "I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Pei Qingyun suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I have something here, which was ordered to be planted by the imperial court." Because it is a foreign object, it is not known what the situation is when it is planted, so it has not been widely promoted. This thing is not ordinary if it is grown, it is easier to obtain than silk, and it is softer and warmer than linen.

I have the real thing here, and the cloth I weave, and I think that if this thing can be grown, it will be popular in the whole good country. If not, you can take it back and try it, you don't need to use an extra acre at first. If it can be done, you can let go of the seeds next year, and I will provide you with the seeds. You are one step faster than others, even if you are worried about giving us the Pei family because I don't want to trouble you, it will be very easy for you to be taken away if you go to another house. ”

Chang Xile immediately looked forward to it when he heard this, the warmth of the linen cloth was not enough, the cost of silk was high, he had been looking for cotton, but the doctor's relatives had not been able to deliver good news, I don't know if Pei Qingyun was talking about cotton.

When the attendant found the things, Chang Xile could no longer press the excitement in his heart, and it was indeed cotton!

"What cotton!"

Pei Qingyun raised his eyebrows, he didn't tell the name of this thing just now, but Chang Xile could say it accurately, he must have known it before.

"You know this?"

"I like to read miscellaneous books on weekdays, and I saw it in a book of anecdotes. I've been looking for it, but I didn't expect to see it here from Pei Gongzi, but it's really nowhere to find it. ”

Pei Qingyun was also very happy, "Then do you know how this thing is planted and what its habits are?" ”

Chang Xile was excited that he had finally found cotton, and without thinking about it, he said, "A month later is the best time to plant this!" The climate and soil of our Pumpkin House are perfect for growing it. If you want to sow all seedlings at a time, you must seize the cold tail and warm the head to sow the seeds; The soil of the cover should be even, no more than a finger thick, and the bowl should not be exposed; And to do "dry sleep warm nest", can be covered with straw. ”

Pei Qingyun just asked casually, but he didn't expect Chang Xile to say the truth.

"Chang Gongzi is really well-informed, and he even knows all this. This thing is foreign, and the other party refuses to say how to plant it, and at first he thought it was obtained from a special sheep. Later, the other party accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, and joked that our good country had never seen the world, so he knew. But we can't know how to grow it, so we can only figure it out for ourselves. ”

Chang Xile didn't expect such a thing, and said: "Although these crops have their own habits, they are generally average, I am from a farming family, and I am interested in it, so I can guess one or two." But you have to try it to know what to do, and what I just said belongs to the panacea. ”

Pei Qingyun has seen a lot, and naturally knows that some capable people are incomparable to ordinary people, so he doesn't feel anything weird. It's just that if Chang Xile really gets it out, it will be a happy event for their Pei family at that time.

After all, this thing is beneficial to the country and the people, and whoever figures out how to plant the best first will be a great hero at that time.

They are not short of money now, they lack fame.

"If you and I can study the cultivation method of this thing one step ahead of others, we will reap more than just money by then."

Pei Qingyun was glad that he didn't talk about Chang Xile and let him go directly, otherwise where would there be such an opportunity. No wonder that black charcoal likes to talk to Chang Xile, this person is really a big lucky star. As soon as he thought of this, Pei Qingyun's face was a little unsightly.

Pei Qingyun's attitude has changed very obviously, and it is difficult for Chang Xile to ignore it, and he will be happy and sad for a while.

However, he didn't want to ask more, the two exchanged a few more words, got the seed and left.

Pei Qingyun is not happy now, so he didn't continue to keep it.

When Chang Xile and Chang Yu returned to the inn, several other people had already returned.

Chang Xisheng said with a smile: "We thought you would take Uncle Tiger to visit for a longer time, the house is so lively, your eyes and mouth are almost useless." ”

Chang Xile did not hide it, and told them what happened today, and Chang Xisheng and several people were amazed.

"I didn't expect the house to be so messy, and I won't tell you that we almost had our money bags stolen just now. Fortunately, we caught each other quickly, otherwise we would have died of distress. But because of this, we didn't have any interest in having fun, so we just came back. Chang Xisheng sighed.

"These thieves are also bold, and there are robbers, next to them are the officials, they are not afraid at all, after robbing the money, they will run away, like loaches, and a group of officials will not be able to catch up at all. Forget it, everyone is not surprised. Chang Xishou also said incredible.

There was no such chaos in their small county, and they didn't expect that there were so many officials in the mansion guarding them, and these bandits could be so arrogant.

Wang Dali said: "I just heard at a food stall that a rich family was dug into a hole by thieves and stolen several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. ”

"It's also rampant!"

"But isn't it, we have to wake up when we sleep at night, there are not a few copper plates, if someone steals it, we can only beg for food and go home."

Chang Xiqing spoke in a mysterious low voice, "Didn't I wander around after I got separated from you, and I was almost pulled away by that woman." ”

"What woman?" Wang Dali was puzzled.

"Oh, that's the kind of woman."

"What kind of one is that?"

When the others saw Chang Xiqing, they all immediately understood that they must be talking about a dusty woman who solicited customers.

Although they came in their best clothes, they did not have enough to see in this city, and at first glance they were not in a good place. And these people have very powerful eyes, and they can see at a glance that they don't have the money to do this, so they haven't been hooked up.

The most important thing is that there are many fewer women during the day than at night, and all kinds of characters come out at night.

Chang Xisheng sighed: "I don't know how many I have seen along the way, and there are special shops, which is really ...... Ay. ”

Daoxiang County is small, although there are also prostitutes, but they are all secret doors and do not appear on the street. Unlike Pumpkin House, it is blatant and has a strong atmosphere. Although many of them don't sell their bodies, or just serve as companions in restaurants, they feel inappropriate after all, especially when they think of the female relatives at home, they feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Wang Dali was still confused, "Why can't you explain it clearly, I don't understand anything." ”

The others looked at each other and smiled, and dispersed, leaving Wang Dali, who was confused, to continue to be confused in place.
