Chapter 149: Uninvited Guest

"Master, there are people outside asking to see..."

"Who?" , Peng Yue, who had just been free, sat there, and after resting for a while, he met this kind of "uninvited guest" again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The person who came claimed to be surnamed Yan, and said that he wanted to consult with you... The emperor's marriage..."

"Yan Song?" , Peng Yue was startled, and the tiredness on his body disappeared without a trace.

"Invite him in...", Peng Yue said, and walked towards the lobby himself. Yan Song came to visit the house in person, so it was naturally difficult for him to take out a shelf as big as Xia Yan and refuse it. Besides, when people say that they want to discuss marriage with you, they have the meaning of "I am your old father-in-law" openly and secretly, so it seems that you are still embarrassed to play music with others?

Thinking of this, Peng Yue felt that it was not a matter of sitting in the hall waiting there, so why did he have to go out to greet him? It seems that Yan Song is really a good idea to marry his daughter to himself, and before he tears the disguise, he still has to get by on the surface. Besides, it's the Son of Heaven who gives you a marriage, what else can you do that is out of the ordinary?

"Oh, Lord Yan, it's really scary for you to come in person...", Peng Yue just walked out of the inner room a few steps before he met Yan Song, who was guided in by his subordinates.

"Ahh Zirui, haha... You are busy with government affairs on weekdays, so I can't let you run around...", Yan Song took two steps forward and walked to Peng Yue's side, and Peng Yue guided him towards the hall.

"I used to be very polite with me, and I met Master Peng, which is good, as soon as Zhu Houxi gave me marriage, I, Lord Peng, became Zirui, and I knew that I had to walk in front of me, and this role change was fast enough...", Peng Yue said secretly in his heart.

"Zirui, what have you been busy with lately?" , After Yan Song came to the living room, he didn't put it on the score. I picked a seat and sat down.

Peng Yue is naturally not easy to take big, and after reaching the opposite side of Yan Song, he put on a smiling face, "Actually, I'm not busy, and I don't have anything serious..."

"Really?" , Yan Song picked up the teacup. looked unhurried, "Why did I hear that two days ago, Lord Xia came here in a carriage to invite you to the mansion to discuss matters, and it seems that you came back very late... It looks like you've been idle for the past two days..."

"I'm going... How come he even knows about this, it seems that he still works hard...", Peng Yue couldn't help but secretly take a deep breath, he is not a good person, it seems that he definitely didn't come to discuss marriage with him today, this is just a pretense.

Peng Yue thought again. This is not right, if it had been placed in the past, he would definitely not have said this matter so bluntly, at most it was just a side knock. Maybe since Zhu Houxi got married, he has slowly felt close to him, at least he won't regard himself as Xia Yan's sworn friend as before, and be cautious everywhere.

In fact, there are some drawbacks to this. But it's more about the benefits. Maybe he can find out more news and attitudes from Yan Song because of this, and he may also inadvertently reveal some things to himself that he needs. It seems that Zhu Houxi's marriage is also a lot of benefits.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Lord Xia was reprimanded in the court and asked me for a remedy...", Peng Yue knew that this kind of thing should not be too outrageous, after all, it was when Xia Yan was just reprimanded, if it was nothing. Just reminiscing about the old days and discussing some ordinary political affairs, Yan Song, the old fox, must not believe it.

Moreover, Peng Yue knew that the reason why Yan Song mentioned this matter must have been suspicious that Xia Yan was looking for him to discuss countermeasures against him. After all, what happened in these two **** halls was very unfavorable to Yan Song, and Yan Song could also see it. Peng Yue also knew that even if he said this, Yan Song would not necessarily believe it, he would definitely be suspicious, but it was only limited to doubts. The reason why he asks himself is that he also inadvertently reveals that he still has trust in himself, otherwise he would not ask himself.

"So that's the case...", Yan Song said with a smile, "Did that Zirui have any good ideas for Lord Xia?" ”

"Uh... He asked in detail, it seems that he still knows how to use his advantages, with the delicate relationship between the two now, Yan Song asked himself like this, he can't resolutely not answer, nor can he pass the buck perfunctory, Peng Yue has to admit that Yan Song is indeed a smart person, he is more sure than himself..."

"Actually, there's no good way, you still have to tie the bell to the bell...", Peng Yue said very calmly, "Actually, the key is still in Lord Xia himself, I said that in the future, you don't want to do anything that angers the saint, the emperor asked you to wear the green leaf crown, don't you just wear it, don't do it against the emperor, but in the end, you will be reprimanded and lose face, not to mention, the green leaf crown should still be worn how you want..."

"Haha...", Yan Song couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Zi Rui dedicated... It's a brilliant plan..."

"It's... I definitely didn't say that at the time, I was much more polite, but the truth is indeed that truth...", Peng Yue scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"Yes, that's really the truth...", Yan Song's expression quickly regained his calm, "But... After the incident in the court that day, did Lord Xia treat me to me... Do you have any opinions? ”

At this point, Peng Yue finally understood and determined the purpose of Yan Song's trip: he wanted to use himself to ease relations with Xia Yan. In fact, his abacus is very normal, and generally speaking, it should be very effective, but there will always be exceptions: for example, Yan Song has never known his true thoughts...

"This... After that day, Lord Xia did have a lot of criticism for you...", Peng Yue knew that it was useless to deceive Yan Song at this time, if he and Yan Song said that Lord Xia had a good impression of you, he didn't mind the affairs of the court that day, and he also hoped that you could give him more suggestions in the future, so that the two of you could improve each other, then Yan Song would definitely die and not believe it, not only that, I am afraid that Yan Song's suspicion of himself will gradually regenerate. Therefore, Peng Yue must quickly distinguish when to tell the truth and when not to tell the truth at this time.

"It seems that on that day, the court was above... My actions really made Lord Xia unhappy...", Yan Song stroked his gray beard and glanced at Peng Yue, "Zirui, did you say that Lord Xia had some opinions about me before?" ”

"This... Oh... When the emperor went south to worship his ancestors before, because of the congratulations of the ministers, Lord Xia was also a little dissatisfied with your attitude. But those were small things, and it took so long. Lord Xia doesn't care anymore, in general, Lord Xia's impression of you should be good, I think you should also know this in your heart...", after a quick selection, Peng Yue said everything he thought should be said. I thought I shouldn't have said it, so I hid it.

"I should have a number in my mind? Hehe... You're really going to say... But it really doesn't sound like a lie...", Yan Song muttered secretly in his heart.

"Zirui, look... In fact, I still admire Lord Xia, but I offended Lord Xia on impulse, how do you think I should remedy it? After Xia Yan finished speaking, he stared at Peng Yue quietly, as if he really wanted to ask him for advice.

"I'm going... Is this a temptation to me? Peng Yue found more and more that Yan Song was really a little smarter than himself, although he was not very willing to admit it. He is very good at taking advantage of this very delicate relationship and form, and he is inevitably overwhelmed at times. It seems that you really didn't eat in vain when you are old...", Peng Yue sighed secretly in his heart.

Peng Yue really wanted to tell him that you don't have to do anything, just wait slowly, there will naturally be a "good result", but he knows that what he said is also in vain, but he will lose the opportunity to use Yan Song in the future, so it is better to take him into the army...

"This... Lord Xia is not a narrow-minded person, so you should do more goodwill to him. Lord Xia should be relieved...", Peng Yue smiled lightly as he spoke. "I wonder what Lord Yan has come up with?"

"Uh... In fact, it is precisely because I don't have any good ideas that I came to ask you...", Yan Song cleverly kicked the ball back to Peng Yue.

"This old fellow, old fox!" , Peng Yue secretly scolded in his heart, "But maybe he is indeed a little urgent in his heart." After all, Xia Yan's actions have been very fast in the past few days, and many people in Yan Song's faction have been subjected, Yan Song is not stupid, he can naturally see that this is Xia Yan's counterattack, so he naturally has to take the initiative to reconcile. Because he knows that his current strength is not enough to compete with Xia Yan..."

"Actually, Lord Xia is still very easy to get along with, you apologize to him, run to his house twice, it should have an effect...", although Peng Yue said this, he knew in his heart that Xia Yan had already decided that Yan Song coveted his position as the first assistant, how could he easily spare him?

"Ahh It seems that it can only be like this...", Yan Song's face was a little pale, but Peng Yue could see that he was still very worried, "In this way, I will hold a banquet in the mansion in two days, and invite Lord Xia and some guests to come at that time, one is to apologize to Lord Xia, and the other is to thank Lord Xia, to express my gratitude to Lord Xia for my cultivation in the past few years, and I hope that Zirui can convey my heart to Lord Xia..."

"Uh... This is a good way, if Xia Yan really went to the banquet in front of the public, and accepted Yan Song's gesture of chatting during the banquet, then it would be inconvenient for him to put on small shoes for Yan Song in the future, and he really had a countermeasure...", Peng Yue thought secretly in his heart, but he pondered how to prevent Yan Song from succeeding.

"Lord Yan, I'm going to say this kind of thing, okay? I'm afraid it's better for you to come to the door in person, otherwise... I'm afraid the effect won't be too good...", Peng Yue looked embarrassed, and said a little tactfully.

"This...", Yan Song frowned, and also looked very embarrassed, it seemed that he should have eaten a few closed doors at Xia Yan's place, but now he should be thinking about his words.

After a while, Yan Song breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head and stared at Peng Yue, "That's good!" Then I'll go and invite it myself! ”

"That's very good...", Peng Yue smiled and nodded, "Lord Yan has such intentions, I believe that Lord Xia doesn't care about those little things..."

In fact, in the moment when Yan Song hesitated just now, Peng Yue had also been thinking. He felt that there was no need for his side to really take any action after Yan Song had invited Xia Yan to the banquet. If this banquet can paralyze Yan Song, then it may not be a good thing for the future, it seems that he is still not "shameless" enough, if he wants to mix well in the officialdom, how can he always contradict some gentlemanly behavior? I must be more shameless in the future, haha...

"Then I won't delay now, let's leave for Xia Mansion immediately...", Yan Song was also relieved after talking to Peng Yue for a long time, "By the way, Zirui, you must not forget the banquet in two days." And Mengyun has always wanted to see you, do you have time to walk around my house more, huh? Haha..."

"Ahh Okay, I will definitely come over to visit when I have time...", Peng Yue responded, and he also calculated in his heart: two days later... Oh... There was no delay, it was still a day before the agreed time for him to go to Xueqi, but it seems that he can only go there three days later...

Peng Yue pondered and politely sent Yan Song out, but suddenly remembered that he was going to see Yan Mengyun again in two days, would he be a little embarrassed at that time? After all, she can be regarded as her unmarried wife now, should she go and see her sooner? It's better to avoid seeing her later... (To be continued.) )
