"Lord Yan..."Peng Yue entered Yan's mansion, saw Yan Song walking towards him, and bowed his hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lord Peng is coming to the humble house, and the pangs are shining. Come in! Yan Song smiled as he said and welcomed Peng Yue into the house.

"If you are a humble house, there will be no good house." Peng Yue said in his heart, whenever he saw Yan Song's old wrinkled face always affectionately calling himself "Master Peng", he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

In fact, this time he went to Yan Song's Mansion so "smoothly", and Peng Yue was also a little puzzled in his heart. Originally, he was still hesitating to ask Yan Song to ask him to help him intercede with Tao Zhongwen, but before he could fully explain his intentions, Yan Song showed great enthusiasm and specially invited himself to his mansion as a guest. Peng Yue wasn't sure what Yan Song's intentions were at that time, but thinking about Yan Song's attitude towards him on weekdays, he guessed that he might want to take the opportunity to befriend himself, so Peng Yue was also happy to push the boat.

Sitting in the room, the guest and the host greeted each other, Peng Yue was more sure of his previous guess, Yan Song really wanted to take this opportunity to befriend himself, as for the political considerations, Peng Yue didn't want to think about it anymore, because he really didn't want to "narcissistically" think about how much benefit it was to befriend himself.

"Lord Peng is now favored by the emperor, and he is in a high position at a young age, which really makes Yan embarrassed..."Yan Song said while pointing at Yan Shifan with a smile, "I don't know how many times stronger than a dog..."

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Song complimented Peng Yue, this praise really made Peng Yue a little embarrassed, so he had to wave his hand again and again: "Lord Yan has a good reputation, Donglou is talented, and he must have something great to do in the future..."

"Where is Lord Peng, he is the same age as Master Peng now, but he doesn't have Lord Peng's actions, haha..."Yan Shifan said with squinted eyes on the side.

"yes, haha... I think this should be the first time that Master Peng has come to my house, right? Yan Song didn't want to dwell on the issue just now, it was originally a polite remark, so Yan Song smiled and changed the topic.

"Uh... Indeed, I haven't had the opportunity to be a guest at Lord Yan's mansion before. Peng Yue replied with a smile, but he was thinking about how to draw out the purpose of his trip.

"Therefore, I am deeply honored that Master Peng is here today." Yan Song had a smile on his face, "Take advantage of today's opportunity, I will introduce you to Master Peng, maybe in my family, you only know Xiao'er Donglou..."

As soon as Yan Song finished speaking, he saw a young girl walking out of the inner hall. I saw that this woman was wearing a light green robe, with a string of pearls hanging from her neck, and her face was white and delicate, as if she was about to drip water. Her eyes are flowing, her eyebrows are slender, her eyes are bright, her eyes are bright, her eyes are beautiful, her demeanor is delicate, and she is really an excellent beauty.

Although Peng Yue sometimes likes to pretend to be "serious", but after all, he is a normal man, although he is now in Yan Song's mansion, but seeing such a beauty, Peng Yue still can't help but look at it twice. But in just that moment, Peng Yue came back to his senses, who is this person? Why did Yan Song call her out when she was talking suddenly, it is said that there is no such reason, usually Peng Yue goes to the homes of some officials as guests, and there is no reason to ask the female relatives of the family to come out to meet the guests. This kind of thing only happened before Peng Yue got married, and there is generally only one situation... Could it be that Yan Song wants to make a beauty trick on himself?

Just when Peng Yue was still thinking, Yan Song opened his mouth with a smile on the side, "Master Peng, this is a little girl." ”

Peng Yue was really shocked when he heard it: he didn't expect Yan Shifan to be so ugly, and he had such a beautiful sister. And in Peng Yue's impression, he doesn't remember what daughters Yan Song has in his family, but he doesn't know much about this kind of thing, and the royal ladies in history are incomplete, let alone a daughter of Yan Song.

"Don't hide it from Master Peng, this girl is not my own." Yan Song also saw the look of surprise on Peng Yue's face, so he explained faintly on the side, with some sadness in his expression. "He is past the age of childbearing, and his second daughter died early, and there is only one son left in the family, so he loves him very much. This daughter is the daughter of his wife and brother, her real name is Ouyang Mengyun, because her father lost her family early and was poor, she was pitiful, so she was adopted to her home, now known as Yan Mengyun. ”

"I see..."Peng Yue responded, but in his heart, he couldn't help but be surprised by Yan Song's behavior of saying this kind of thing to himself, "Miss Yan is as angry as a beautiful orchid, gorgeous and graceful, and really has everyone's demeanor..."

Of course, Peng Yue also admired Yan Song's loyal attitude towards his wife. I want Yan Song to marry only one wife for the rest of his life, never take a concubine, and stay with his wife for nearly 70 years, although Yan Song only had one son later, and only accepted some righteous sons and daughters from the family, and he has always loved his wife very much, respecting each other like a guest, and it is really rare to do this in ancient times.

"Lord Peng praised it falsely..."At the moment when Peng Yue was distracted, Yan Mengyun had already walked over, and then bent down and saluted Peng Yue, "The slave family has seen Lord Peng..."

"Ahh I've seen Miss Yan in the next place..."I don't know if it's because I saw a beautiful woman, or if I was a little nervous when I came to Yan Song's mansion for the first time, Peng Yue's words seemed a little restrained, "The girl doesn't have to be polite..."

When Yan Song and Yan Shifan saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile, "The little girl doesn't know the etiquette, Master Peng must not be surprised..."

"Where is it, I see Miss Yan's scholarly temperament, which is natural, and I can't help but feel like a spring breeze, how can there be a saying that I don't know the number of etiquette?" Peng Yue found that his ability to pat on the back was really increasing day by day, but although Peng Yue's words were flattering, most of them were also sincere.

"Lord Peng said it was funny..."Yan Song smiled, he didn't want to waste all his time on polite praise and compliments to each other, "To say that Lord Peng can still take time out of his busy schedule to come to the Humble House, I am really quite moved, and I hope that Lord Peng can appreciate more in the future and come to the house as a guest." ”

"This is natural..."Peng Yue said with a smile, and he was happy that he was finally able to get to the point, "The affairs of the court and politics are quite complicated, if you want to satisfy the emperor, it is not easy to do anything, presumably Lord Yan also has a lot of troublesome and laborious things on weekdays, right?" ”

"That's right..."Yan Song didn't expect Peng Yue to go around to this in three or two sentences, and he was surprised in his heart, but this was also something he couldn't wait, so he hurriedly went down the slope, "Usually many things are done with all your heart, but there are always all kinds of constraints, and I am very helpless." ”

"Huan Hai career, this is all inevitable..."Peng Yue showed a lonely look, as if he had a sense of hatred and hatred, "So these many things, we still need to help each other..."

"Oh, what Master Peng thinks is very consistent with me..."Although Yan Song's words were full of excitement, his heart was calm, he finally fully understood Peng Yue's intentions, he had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

In fact, when Peng Yue took the initiative to talk to him at the beginning, Yan Song was a little surprised. And when he casually mentioned inviting Peng Yue to the mansion as a guest, he actually agreed, and Yan Song was even more incomprehensible. But in Peng Yue's courteous attitude and chatting words after he arrived at the mansion, Yan Song had already guessed his purpose, and when it came to this, the matter could not be clearer, he had to ask for himself.

But Yan Song is happy to get this situation, and what he seeks is originally this kind of result, to put it bluntly, it seems to be an exchange of interests between the two, and there is no need to consider the question of friendship or unfriendship, as long as they are willing to "use each other", officialdom friendship is not increasing day by day under this kind of "mutual help", in this way, Yan Song doesn't care about who helps whom first, it is best to help him first, so that he owes himself a favor, so that the initiative is actually in his own hands, At least this is Yan Song's own calculation.

"I don't know what Master Peng is still busy with these days? Could it be that it is still a matter of the city's ship? When Yan Song said this, he naturally did not have doubts, but wanted to bring out this topic naturally, because he knew that what Peng Yue was thinking about at this stage was just this matter, although he didn't know where he could help Peng Yue, but he also had to make his words clear first, so that it would just give Peng Yue a step down, so that he would not be embarrassed to speak. When smart people cooperate with each other, they should first show sincerity, and Yan Song believes that his idea is not wrong.

"Lord Yan is right, in fact, most of the things in the household department are not so troublesome, but the matter of this city has been repeatedly frustrated, which makes me very embarrassed..." Yan Song's attitude was also a little unexpected for Peng Yue, he was still hesitating how to speak, but he didn't expect Yan Song to be quite "considerate" to bring up the matter first, which saved him a lot of embarrassment.

It seems that Yan Song is very sincere about cooperating with him, but at this time, Peng Yue is worried about another thing. It was an expedient measure for him to ask Yan Song for help this time, and he didn't want to have any long-term cooperation with Yan Song, but it seems that Yan Song didn't have this idea. At this time, Peng Yue began to think about how to achieve his own goal, but also get rid of the connection with Yan Song in time.

"Then I don't know what Master Peng has planned? As far as I know, the emperor's attitude towards this matter is not clear so far..."Yan Song began to think about how to properly handle this matter in his mind at this time, because he didn't want to get involved in the controversy of this city. Since Zhu Houxi's attitude is unclear, he naturally can't have any superfluous thoughts before he finds out Zhu Houxi's temper. This has been Yan Song's way of doing things for so long, and it has proven to be very effective. But he didn't want to save Peng Yue's face at the beginning, which was too detrimental to the future cooperation between the two, Yan Song must come up with a double method, but what he should do now is to pay attention to his words and not be taken to the "ditch" by Peng Yue.

"In fact, there is no such thing as a plan or a discussion in this matter, the key is the emperor's attitude." Peng Yue naturally heard the meaning of Yan Song's words just now, although he didn't say it clearly, but Peng Yue also knew in his heart that Yan Song was definitely unwilling to wade into this troubled water, how could this old fritter of officialdom who had always believed in Mingzhe protect himself be involved in such an uncertain thing, but Peng Yue naturally wanted to find a way to persuade him, "Actually, the emperor is not unclear now, but there are still some doubts, as long as the emperor's heart knot can be untied, things will naturally be easy to do..."

"Oh? I really don't know about this matter, I don't know what doubts the emperor has in his heart? Yan Song's words are quite clean, it seems that if Peng Yue does not make the stakes clear, Yan Song will never interfere in this matter.

"Well, I'll explain the reason for this in detail today." Peng Yue's fingers were pinched into a ring under the table, but a smile appeared on his face, "What the emperor is worried about is nothing more than that after opening a private mouth, the income of the imperial court will decline because of this, but in my opinion, this income will only increase, not decrease..."

"Let me settle an account for Lord Yan..." Peng Yue raised his arm as he spoke, and carefully calculated the account for Yan Song with his fingers, and told Yan Song many of the ideas he had discussed with Xia Yan.

"Master Peng's analysis is indeed very reasonable, but... In my opinion, Master Peng is not completely sure... After opening a private mouth, the income of the imperial court will definitely increase. Yan Song had a smile on his face, trying to make his words appear light-hearted.

"Uh... After all, there are some unexpected factors that no one can predict, so I have to say that I am completely sure... I can't guarantee it either. Peng Yue didn't expect Yan Song's focus to be so direct, and after talking for a long time, he asked such a question. But if you think about it, it's not surprising, isn't this what he's always been concerned about?

"That's right, you can't be sure of anything." , Yan Song said with a smile, "In this case, then Lord Peng should hurry up and state the benefits and disadvantages to the emperor, so that the emperor can understand this section, so as to obtain the emperor's consent, so that your measure can also be implemented smoothly." Yan Song said a few words, and kicked the ball back to Peng Yue's side.

"I've thought about this too..."Peng Yue found that chatting with Yan Song was so tired, and at the same time, he couldn't cry or laugh because of Yan Song's "cunning", "I'm afraid that the emperor will still have doubts at that time, and in that case, if you want to mention this matter again, you will have to break the trouble again." ”

"It turns out that Master Peng has this consideration..."Yan Song turned his head and glanced at Yan Shifan, but saw that he was drinking tea there as if nothing had happened, and he didn't say a word, as if he had nothing to do with him. Yan Song pursed his mouth, and quickly turned his head around, "This consideration also makes sense, but I don't know much about it, I hate that I can't help Master Peng." ”

"Where is Lord Yan, if you want Lord Yan to live in the Ministry of Etiquette, how many things are in the court, the emperor must not ask your opinion first..." However, when he carefully observed Yan Song's eyes, he found that Yan Song was not unwilling to help, but wanted to get a bigger "reward", it seemed that Yan Song's "business scripture" was indeed very good, but Peng Yue did not think that Yan Song would help himself in vain.

"Well, in that case, I'll get straight to the point..."Peng Yue said secretly in his heart.
