This is to let the two families fight first!

Pei Man understood, responded with a smile, opened the place where Ah Ming had read before, and prepared to continue to read the gift list to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan raised his hand and made a "no" gesture, and said, "This is a gift list from the martial arts, you take it and take a look at it first, and prepare a return gift according to it." Then see if there's anything interesting in the delivery. ”

Pei Man knew his hobby, respectfully agreed, and retreated.

Pei Yan was a little bored, took the door beast ring casually, went to his second brother to talk about the New Year, and went to say hello to his mother, thought about it, turned around and went to the study in the outer courtyard again.

The place where the Yu family's father and daughter were received before, except for Pei Yan's study at this time, all rooms were brightly lit, and the tents, stewards, clerks, and servants were all so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, although everyone lowered their voices and spoke, but it was still noisier than the place next to them, and the oncoming heat made Pei Yan frown in disgust.

"Third Master!" When everyone heard the movement, they saw that it was Pei Yan who came in, and they all stepped forward to salute.

Pei Yan nodded, and his eyes fell on Pei Man's body.

Pei Man hurriedly said: "The gift list from the martial arts family has been transcribed, and a few of our stewards are discussing the preparation of a return gift." At this point, he paused and said, "You won't come here at this time, and I'm going to see you later-the things sent by the martial arts family are a bit valuable, and I let the account room calculate it, and it's worth at least 10,000 taels of silver." Of these, more than seven thousand taels are indicated to you. ”

Apparently there was a request.

But the rest of Pei's Mansion didn't know why, and looked at Pei Yan with admiration one by one, as if they had just known this person.

Pei Yan pursed the corners of his lips, rubbing the frosted ring of the upper door beast ring in his hand, thinking that the Yu family would give him seventy percent of the benefits.

If they knew that he had received so many gifts in just these two days, the father and daughter would not know how to be surprised?

"Then take it." Since Pei Yan turned his face with his second senior brother, he didn't treat the people and things around the second senior brother very well, "I don't accept it, and people are not down-to-earth!" ”

Pei Man smiled yes, and at this time, another little guy ran in, panting and said: "Third master, Master Deng Xuesong Deng is here to visit." ”

Pei Yan was very surprised.

At this time, it was getting late, although he and Deng Xuesong were from the same door, but Deng Xuesong was born in a poor family and had an arrogant personality, and the relationship between the two was very ordinary, it stands to reason that Deng Xuesong would not visit him at this time.

Is it related to the map?

Pei Yan touched his chin and went to the warm pavilion where he met the guests.

Deng Xuesong was in his forties, tall and thin, with a goatee, sitting on the Taishi chair with his eyes half-closed, letting Hu Xing surround him with courtesy, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Seeing Pei Yan, he nodded arrogantly at Pei Yan.

Deng Xuesong didn't like Pei Yan very much, he felt that Pei Yan was talented and intelligent but willful, but he didn't think so of the talent that many people couldn't ask for. But the two are in the same door, he just doesn't want to see Pei Yan anymore, and he can't tear each other down. Fortunately, he helped Pei Yan once last time, which made him more confident.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Deng Xuesong directly explained his intentions: "I heard that the eldest master of the Huzhou martial arts family is here with you?" Do you know what the Huzhou martial arts family did in the first place? ”

Pei Yan sighed in his heart, feeling that he didn't need to think much to be sure that Deng Xuesong was also here for Nayutu. I just don't know who he wants to help with? can be so straightforward to top Jiang Hua's in-laws, it can be seen that he is not an idler. It's just that why didn't they come forward to him directly, and they wanted to find Deng Xuesong as the middleman?

Pei Yan pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "The martial family is my second senior brother's in-laws, how could I not know?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Pei Yan's heart moved.

Zhou Zijin heard that he had a falling out with his second senior brother, wouldn't these people think the same way, right?

That's kind of a lot of fun!

Pei Yan thought about it, pushed the fruit plate in his hand towards Deng Xuesong, and said, "Try it, Tao Ziran asked people to bring me the blessing cake from Guangzhou, I tasted it, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

Tao Anzi Ran, when he was the chief bookkeeper in the Ministry of Industry, Deng Xuesong was his subordinate.

Deng Xuesong's expression stiffened slightly when he listened, obviously he already knew what the Tao family had done.

Pei Yan smiled, took a piece of blessing cake and handed it to Deng Xuesong: "Eat the cake, eat the cake!" ”

Deng Xuesong reluctantly ate a piece of cake, praised a few delicious words, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't compare to Pei Yan and Tao An, so he simply said: "Then I won't go around in circles." The Quanzhou Yin family is kind to me, let me be a middleman for them, and ask Yaoguang to meet me. ”

The Yin family in Quanzhou, the Peng family in Fuzhou, and the Li family in Longyan are known as the three major families in Fujian. The Quanzhou Yin family started as a tea maker, but was later pressed by the Longyan Li family and changed to shipping. Fujian's current fleet, except for the Peng family, is mostly the Yin family. The Yin family is not as single-minded as the Li family, nor as powerful as the Peng family, but their family also has its own advantages - for so many years, the Yin family has been committed to ethnology and has helped many scholars.

Pei Yan had hesitated before whether to hook the Yin family over.

Now that he doesn't need to come forward, the Yin family himself will jump out.

Pei Yan stopped playing Tai Chi with Deng Xuesong, and said bluntly: "We are not outsiders, so I will have something to say." If something doesn't go wrong, you'll have to carry it around for me. I didn't know if it was true or false for a while, so I didn't say anything. However, I happen to have something that I want to trouble the Indian family. If this happens, then I'll count them in anyway. ”

Deng Xuesong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and said, "Count it as a share?" ”

Pei Yan smiled: "You don't think that such a big thing can be eaten by only our family, right?" ”

Deng Xuesong is a person who only reads sage books, and he neither likes nor cares about business matters, and his face turned red when he heard this, and said: "You also say that we are not outsiders, you say, what do you want me to do?" ”

Pei Yan was also polite, and said, "I have something I want to ask the Yin family to help, you can ask their family to have someone who can speak." ”

can make Pei Yan open his mouth to ask for help, and use the sea business as bait, Deng Xuesong knows that this matter is not simple.

He did everything he could, and he didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

"Okay! That's it. He stood up very simply and said, "It's not too early today, I have to rush back to Hangzhou City overnight, don't keep me, I'm going to be assessed at the end of the year, I can't delay my serious errand." ”

Pei Yan didn't force him to stay, and personally sent Deng Xuesong out, mentioning Yuwen's matter on the way: "Although you are just a showman, the annual exam is not with you, you can say hello, and take care of the point if you can." ”

Xiucai has to be assessed every year, and if he fails the assessment, he may be dismissed from Xiucai's reputation.

Deng Xuesong didn't ask much, anyway, this favor was accepted by Pei Yan, and he said: "Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter." When the time comes, someone will report to you. ”

Pei Yan thought that this could be regarded as a thank you gift for the door beast ring. Seeing Deng Xuesong's sedan chair go out of Xiaomei Lane against the cold wind, Pei Yan went to the outer study to deal with the chores.

Everywhere is still so busy, but a few stewards gathered in front of the bookcase where he threw a door beast ring to press the account book, and discussed the door beast ring: "I didn't expect the third master to have one." If I had known this, I would have either sent the one in the store over, or I could ask the third master for it, and it would be worth it to make a pair. ”

Pei Yanqi said: "Where is there a door beast ring?" ”

The steward smiled and said: "It's in the antique shop, there is an exactly the same door beast ring as this one, but it was sold a few days ago, and it's too late to regret it." ”

Pei Yan looked a little strange when he heard this, and said, "When was it sold?" How much silver was sold? ”

The steward smiled: "It's just a matter of the past few days." You also know that this thing is not very valuable in the first place, and if it is a single thing, it is even less valuable. We sold it for two taels of silver. If I had known that you had one here, I would have sold it for at least a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Oh!" Pei Yan replied expressionlessly and said, "Then you guys are busy, I'll go back and rest!" ”

After all, several stewards acted on his looks, and their ability to observe his face was very powerful, and they immediately realized that he was very unhappy.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what made him unhappy.

They exchanged glances with each other, not knowing what to say.

finally waited for Pei Yan to leave, Pei Man couldn't help but give one of them a slap and said, "Why don't you work hard?" Do you want to stay awake for days and nights? ”

The steward who spoke cried out in surprise and hugged his head, and hurriedly put down the door beast ring to reconcile the account.

Pei Man looked at the blue glowing door beast ring, feeling like a hot potato, and didn't know what to do.

But you can't just leave it here!

He thought about it again and again, beckoned Ah Ming to come over, and quietly told him: "You find an opportunity to quietly put it on the third master's bookshelf." ”

When did the third master go to the book and find out, it was fate. If you don't find it, you won't lose it.

Ah Ming did as instructed to put the door beast ring.

The people of the Yin family rushed to Lin'an City at noon the next day.

He is the son of the Yin family and the next Yin family master.

Before coming, their family had carefully inquired about Pei Yan, and knew that this was the first Spring Festival for Pei Yan to take over the sect leader of the Pei family, so they thought of going with the Wu family, and felt that Pei Yan must be prestigious.

That day, Yu Tang happened to accompany his mother to give Mrs. Ma's New Year's gift, and sat in the sedan chair and lifted the sedan curtain to see it clearly. After going back, Chen also said to Yu Wen: "No wonder Old Lady Pei wants to pass on the position of the sect master to the third master, just this year's festival is a hundred times more lively than in previous years." The Pei family will become more and more prosperous in the future, right? You say, will the Pei family move to Hangzhou City? ”

threw the pot out, his wife's illness was treated by a famous doctor, his daughter became more and more obedient, and he could take care of everything at home. He thought that when Yu Yuan became a relative in the spring, Yu Tang's marriage could also be decided, and he had to carve a seal for his daughter.

"No!" While looking at the appearance of the seal, he said casually, "If the Pei family wanted to move, they would have moved a long time ago." Besides, Hangzhou City is not so easy to take root. ”

The husband and wife were gossiping slowly, but Yu Tang was a little anxious.

Looking at it this way, the auction will be delayed until the end of the year.

I wonder if these people who came to give New Year's gifts have anything to do with the auction of Yutu?

She sighed softly.
