Chapter 44: Throw a bait
Holding the beautiful woman in his arms, Pei Min felt that the cherry lips were soft, the fragrance was fragrant, and he was confused for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he was in college in the later world, Pei Min also had a few girlfriends, but he was not a pure rookie. But the beauty of Jiao Chen, even those big stars on the TV and movie screens in later generations may not be able to compare, let alone others.
Jiao Chen was not psychologically prepared at all, she only felt that her brain was confused, but she felt that it was unreasonable, but her heart gradually softened, and she responded with a little jerky, thinking crankily in her heart, thinking that if Pei Min couldn't help it and wanted herself, would she give it or not?
Pei Min kissed Jiao Chen, and his desire was moved, but he didn't get an inch.
In the open 21st century, where would Pei Min have so many scruples, he has already picked up his gun and had a good time.
In ancient times, it was different, although he and Jiao Chen agreed to each other for life, their names were undecided, and they lived in the same room, so that they were suspected of being melons and plums. If he professes adultery in the daytime, it will not matter to him. But Jiao Chen is a girl after all, Pei Min really loves her and pities her, and doesn't want to leave her a bad word because of her momentary desires.
Jiao Chen saw that Pei Min was stopping, knowing that he respected himself, he was even more happy, leaned his head on his chest, and said intimate love words.
Pei Min played with Jiao Chen's smooth hair and said: "Later, I will go to the Jiaofang Division, take your household registration and eliminate it, choose a good day and auspicious day, and then let the matchmaker come to make a contract with you, but I have wronged you......"
Jiao Chen raised his head and said, "Pei Lang treats his concubine like this, how can he be wronged." ”
The ancients were particularly strict in etiquette, only the main room where the Ming media was married had a marriage contract, and the concubine had a written contract, but it was not a marriage book, but a deed. The so-called deed is not much different from the contract of master and servant.
Although Pei Min felt wronged Jiao Chen, this era is like this. Even if he is an emperor, he can't rashly provoke the rules of etiquette, let alone him.
Jiao Chen didn't feel aggrieved at all, compared to those "sisters" who didn't even have a deed and gave them to the rich and noble, she was very satisfied.
The two of them stayed warm for almost half an hour, and Jiao Chen saw that it was almost noon, leaving Pei Min for lunch.
Pei Min also wanted to try Jiao Chen's craftsmanship, so he responded with a smile.
Pei Min has never been in the kitchen since he was a child, nor has he gone to join in the fun, but he just looks at the busy Jiao Chen, and there is a warm feeling in his heart.
But in half an hour, Jiao Chen Yi made four simple side dishes, including fish and meat, as well as fresh vines and leeks.
Pei Min tasted the dishes one by one under the expectant gaze of Jiao Chen, and the taste was acceptable, not as good as the chef hired in Pei Fuli, but it was also salty and suitable. With the love bonus, Pei Min was not stingy with praise, and he ate extremely happily.
After the full meal, Pei Min didn't stay in Jiao Chen's house for long, and went to Jinxiufang first, and thanked the Ziqin girl who was enthusiastic about helping.
Pei Min has always been respectful in the world, and I am still a zhang. Ziqin helped him a lot, and this favor had to be repaid.
Zi Qin looked at Pei Min in front of him, his heart wandered, and he said after a while: "The son is kind, the concubine has received it physically and mentally." It turned out that there was something that wanted the son to help, but now Jinxiufang is in danger, and the concubine can't leave. ”
It turned out that after yesterday's incident, a orchid died in Jinxiufang, the intervention of the Yongzhou Mansion, and the hijacking of Xue Wang Li Longye, and all kinds of situations happened together. The above is evasive. But the following is blindly chasing after the wind and shadows, and the matter is boasted of being extremely serious, with various exaggerated versions. Especially in these years, because of the first Lingjiao Chen in Jinxiufang, and Ziqin, Xiaoqing, Hongyu, these versatile pillars that can sing and dance, they are unique in Pingkangfang, and they have already attracted the jealousy of their peers.
This splendid workshop is in difficulty, and it is inevitable that it will fall into the well. Jiao Chen's retreat coincided with the right time, which made matters worse.
Ziqin, as the pillar second only to Jiao Chen, also wanted to redeem herself for a free body like Jiao Chen, and made a name in Jinxiufang. While you are young, find a reliable person to marry.
It's just that she is different from Jiao Chen, Jiao Chen was originally sold to the Qinglou by a good person, and she has the right to redeem herself freely, while she is a family member who committed a crime and was demoted to an official prostitute, with no autonomy, and she needs to have someone with a lot of status to help her tell the teacher to intercede. Yesterday, Jiao Chen specially asked Jiao Chen to inform Pei Min that he also had this selfish intention.
Pei Min understood the reason, and couldn't help but have some respect for Ziqin, and said: "Miss Ziqin has such righteousness, Min deeply admires. Min has a slight thin face in Chang'an, if there is really anything, you can invite someone to my house to find me, and where you can help, you will never postpone it. ”
Leaving this promise, Pei Min went directly to the Teaching Workshop Division to change Jiao Chen's lowly status. With his current power, he was supposed to send someone to say a word, but now that he is here in person, how dare the sect secretary slack off, and directly approve it.
Pei Min didn't understand the yellow calendar, so he asked someone to calculate that October 11 was an auspicious day for the zodiac.
Thinking that there were still sixteen days, enough to inform relatives and friends and prepare for the banquet, Pei Min set this day, and Pei's mansion was full of joy, and they were all busy with the master's marriage.
The first lady in Chang'an is about to marry into the Pei family and become the Pei family, and the matter is gradually spreading.
Chang'an was in an uproar!
Pei Min's reputation in Chang'an is too high, he started from scratch, made countless meritorious contributions along the way, and has already become the target of aspiring teenagers, the ideal partner in the hearts of thousands of girls, and Jiao Chen is popular in Chang'an, and the first place is not idle, and he is also the object of competition among the children of Jingshi.
The combination of the two, although they are talented and beautiful, has also caused a lot of criticism, of course, most of them are words of envy and jealousy.
Men envy Pei Min's Yanfu, and women envy Jiao Chen's luck.
Seeing the advent of the auspicious day, Pei Min suddenly thought of a person, and hurriedly came to the Yushitai and asked Wang Xiaobai to bring Savoy to the court.
Savoy was suddenly stricken by an unwarranted disaster, and I don't know what happened. When Li Longye was holding Hu Ji Hu Tianhudi, he also found a girl to accompany him, and he didn't know that Li Longye was in danger. was inexplicably beaten by Li Longye, and then imprisoned in the prison of Yushitai. After sitting in prison for several days in a daze, he complained about wrongdoing, and his intestines were repentant: he thought that Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was his dream place, a dream place to make a fortune. But I don't want to be the Longtan Tiger's Den.
Under the escort of Wang Xiaobai, Savoy came to the palace of the Imperial Tower. Before he could step into the hall and see Pei Min sitting high in the hall.
Looking at Pei Min, Savoy was like seeing his reborn parents, and he shouted with a crawl: "Lord Zhongcheng, help!" Savoy is wronged, innocent, adults save lives...... "He was born in a merchant family since he was a child, his family is well-off, and he himself has a great talent for businessmen, and his business is getting bigger and bigger, becoming the largest merchant in Byzantium, colluding with Byzantine high-ranking officials. Officials and businessmen play each other's roles, bully and dominate the market, and live a luxurious life. The ten-day tour of Yushitai Prison makes this big businessman who is accustomed to a good life live like a year.
Pei Min walked down the hall, helped Savoy up and said, "You are really, a good and legitimate businessman who doesn't do it, and colludes with the assassins." ”
Savoy's tearful eyes were still in a state of bewilderment, and he could only cry out for injustice. He didn't even know what was going on, he didn't know how to explain it.
Pei Min exaggerated and told Savoy about it.
Only then did Savoy understand the reason, he unintentionally made a prince hold hostage by assassins and threaten the current emperor, only to be frightened into a cold sweat and look dazed.
Pei Min saw that it was almost over, and if he continued to threaten him, he might be stupid, and said: "Fortunately, I have some weight in front of Your Majesty, you have helped me a lot in Jincheng, and I also believe that you are innocent." I have said a lot of good things for you, if I hadn't been maneuvering around it, your head would have been unable to be saved. ”
Savoy came to his senses and kowtowed.
Pei Min helped him up, calmed his emotions, and asked, "What are your plans in the future?" ”
Savoy said confusedly: "The little one doesn't know, I was thinking of opening a treasure shop in Chang'an and doing business on the Silk Road." I heard that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were as easy to buy as the officials of Byzantium, and when I came here, I realized that the rumors were all false. The officials of the Tang Dynasty are much fairer than the Byzantines, and they do not accept my treasures. Not even a good store can be closed. ”
Pei Min smiled: "Have you ever heard of Greek fire?" ”
Savoy looked at Pei Min in surprise and said, "Of course I have heard, if it weren't for the Greek fire, Byzantium would have been extinguished by the Arabs." He was a cunning businessman, and he instantly understood what Pei Min meant by saving him to find him, and his heart became lively, thinking about how to take this opportunity to get more convenience, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhongcheng wants the formula of Greek fire?" It's not easy, as far as I know, the recipes for Greek fire are in the hands of royal craftsmen, and it's not easy to get your hands on them. ”
Pei Min's face turned cold, patted Savoy's shoulder and said, "Put away your extra thoughts, in our Datang, only those who have the ability are qualified to talk about the conditions." You are now in our words like fish on the blade, only for the slaughter of others......"
Savoy was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't think of his intentions, so he saw through it in an instant.
Pei Min didn't give Savoy a chance to talk about the conditions and said: "I can help you gain a foothold in Chang'an, but don't think about how much help I will give you, it's just a storefront." Once you do something illegal in my Datang, the first person to clean you up is me! If you have the ability to bring me the recipe for Greek fire through your connections in Byzantium, I can guarantee that you will get all the commercial conveniences you want. If you can't get it, when we don't know it, give you the storefront, and I thank you for your support to me in the Battle of Jincheng! You're good to go! Send you a word, if you have the ability, come to me to eat meat, and if you don't have the ability, you will eat yourself! ”
Pei Min looked at the distant figure of Savoy and laughed: he could see that this Savoy was not a legitimate businessman, and he could not be unmoved by the meat he threw at him.
Whether he can get Greek fire or not, Pei Min doesn't care so much.
The value of black powder is far higher than that of Greek fire, but the more technology you have, the more advantageous it is. If you can get it, what is the reason not to go for it?
