Pei Hong was like a new toy, and she was full of interest, so she first followed Pei Yan to the shops in the capital to inspect the shops, and then followed him to visit several chambers of commerce. People who do business are usually kind, don't offend people, and welcome people in and out, Pei Hong thinks it's quite interesting.

Pei Yan simply asked him to follow Tong Er's shopkeeper to Baoding Mansion to reconcile the accounts, and asked Pei Hong: "You check the accounts yourself, Tong Er's shopkeeper is only assisting on the side." ”

Tong Da shopkeeper is now only in charge of the accounts of Lin'an shop, Tong Er shopkeeper took over his brother's errand, Xiao Tong shopkeeper took over Tong Er's shopkeeper's errand, the Buddha incense of Ku'an Temple has long been straightened out, it was previously handed over to Miss Pei Jia'er, and now it is taken over by the host of Ku'an Temple. And because there is a small Tong shopkeeper in recent years, the host of the Ku'an Temple now does not need to plan to settle the accounts, the temple of the Buddha incense business is getting better and better, and later knew that Yu Tang will make silk flowers, I don't know whether to really be optimistic about this business or flatter Yu Tang, sent a few lay people to follow Yu Tang for a while to learn the craft of making silk flowers, the first two years began to try to sell flowers, it is said that the business latecomers are on top, not worse than Buddha incense.

As for the Tong family, he has always been the confidant of the Pei family, Pei Hong is a good scholar and does not do it, and he has to assist in reconciling the accounts, even if Pei Yan didn't tell him anything, with his understanding of the Pei family, he also faintly felt that Pei Yan was going to train Pei Hong to be a sect son eight or nine times out of ten.

Pei Tong's branch of the sect is out of the sect, Pei Xuan is the long house, if Pei Hong is allowed to be the son of the sect, this can be regarded as setting things right.

No matter what others think, Tong Er's shopkeeper admires Pei Yan's mind very much, and he is also grateful to Pei Yan for giving him the opportunity to accompany Pei Hong and have the opportunity to guide Pei Hong.

He conscientiously accompanied Pei Hong to Baoding.

Turning his head, Pei Xuan finally set aside a day to call Pei Tong, Wei Xiaochuan, and Shen Fang to the study, ready to have a good chat with them about the next big thing, when the adults had their cognition of the "Four Books and Five Classics" and their preferences for articles, Pei Tong did not see Pei Hong.

Pei Hong is just a little talent, although he can't use what Pei Xuan said for a while, but it is also an opportunity to make friends with them, Pei Tong couldn't help but be anxious for him, and asked the little guy who served them tea and poured water: "Why don't you see the third young master?" ”

In the sect, Pei Hong ranked third.

The little guy smiled and said, "The third young master went out." ”

No matter how much it is, I can't ask about it.

Pei Tong frowned, feeling that Pei Hong didn't cherish the opportunity too much.

Shen Fang felt that Pei Tong didn't know what to say.

Let's not say that Pei Xuan is Pei Hong's father, with Pei Xuan's current official position, if Pei Hong takes the official career, he will have to be released, and even if he is released, it is estimated that he will have to bear the name of an old son, if he does well, he should do well, and if he does not do well, he is incompetent. If it were him, he would learn from Zhou Zijin, send his love to the landscape, indulge in the pastures, write books and speak, I don't know how good it is.

Shen Fang sighed secretly.

Fu Xiaowan pondered whether to persuade Pei Tong a few words, but who knew that Wei Xiaochuan and Zhang Hui walked in together.

Shen Fang couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you guys doing here?" Gone early in the morning! ”

Wei Xiaochuan's face suddenly turned red, and everyone didn't hear what he said clearly for a long time.

Zhang Hui next to him looked amused and said, "I accompanied him to make clothes-when I came, Mrs. Wei specially entrusted me to make a few new clothes for him after coming to the capital, and I wore them when I went to the examination room." The third lady invited the tailor to come over. Who knew the tailor would come so early. ”

Pei Tong felt that what Zhang Hui said was a pretext, but Zhang Hui had already diverted the conversation and asked Shen Fang: "Hasn't Master Pei come yet?" We were afraid that we would be late, and we were sweating all over our bodies. ”

"It's fine!" Shen Fang also felt that Zhang Huiyan was insincere, but since they didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask too much.

The main reason is that he and Wei Xiaochuan are not familiar with each other.

Wei Xiaochuan was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and then came to Qiantang Academy to study and became a classmate with him. But Wei Xiaochuan studied very hard and didn't squint, so much so that they had been classmates for two years, and Wei Xiaochuan didn't know him.

Just when Shen Fang decided to make friends with Wei Xiaochuan, Wei Xiaochuan was admitted to the Juren and went back to his hometown Lin'an to study.

Shen Fang thought that he was a child of a peasant family, thinking that the elders in the family were short-sighted, and shouted pity, and even visited his home, wanting to persuade him to go back to Qiantang Academy to study. Who knew that when he arrived in Lin'an, he knew that it was Pei Yan who had been guiding him in his studies and returned to Lin'an to study, and it was also because Yu Tang was pregnant that Pei Yan was reluctant to go out, so he called Wei Xiaochuan back.

He knew Pei Yan's ability.

Shen Fang returned to Hangzhou in disdain.

Goodbye Wei Xiaochuan, it's on the Pei family's boat.

He thought that Wei Xiaochuan definitely didn't remember him, but he didn't expect Wei Xiaochuan not only to remember him, but also to remember that he especially liked to eat braised pork when he was in the academy, and he must have a big bowl every day, Wei Xiaochuan also asked curiously why he didn't eat fat?

For this reason, Fu Xiaowan also laughed at him fiercely.

A few people chatted.

Wei Xiaochuan's complexion gradually returned to his normal color.

He and Zhang Hui were late because they met Mrs. Yin and Miss Zhang who came to the house as guests on the way.

Yu Tang intended to tell him about the family affairs that could help him in his career in the future, and asked him what he wanted when he was on the boat, he was very embarrassed, and he didn't say a word for a long time. But Mrs. Yin didn't know why she suddenly pulled him to speak, and looked him up and down for a long time.

He wondered if Sister Yu and Mrs. Yin had said something, and Mrs. Yin was trying to match him.

Wei Xiaochuan sat on pins and needles, and found an opportunity to pull Zhang Hui and ran away.

Zhang Hui and Yu Tang's friendship is different, he has long known that Mrs. Wei entrusted Wei Xiaochuan's marriage to Yu Tang, seeing Mrs. Yin's situation, he also suspected that Mrs. Yin was going to give Wei Xiaochuan a matchmaker, which helped him block it.

When Wei Xiaochuan's mood calmed down, Pei Xuan also came over.

He was followed by a few scholars who were born in person, the eldest one was about the same age as Zhang Hui, and the younger one was about the same age as Wei Xiaochuan.

Pei Xuan pointed to Zhang Hui and others: "This is my fellow countryman. Then he pointed to a few people who came with him: "Friends, brothers, sons and nephews of colleagues, I heard that I asked you to chat, and I want to come and listen." ”

The crowd hurriedly stood up and saluted each other.

Pei Xuan asked the little servant to close the door and began to tell them some of the emperor's views on government affairs in recent years.

Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, and there was silence in the study.

Mrs. Pei was pulling Aunt Chen to count her own money. The more she counted, the tighter her brow furrowed.

Aunt Chen knew her thoughts best, and was busy comforting her old man: "Don't you often say that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren?" The future of the fourth and fifth young masters, don't worry too much. The second master is a kind-hearted person, and he won't ignore the two young masters. ”

"Can that compare to your own father's ability?" Old Madam Pei retorted unhappily and complained, "It's all the old lady's fault, if he hadn't connived, would the boss have done such a thing?" Can the third child bury the countryside? ”

Aunt Chen didn't dare to answer.

If you say that the last time she came to the capital, Mrs. Pei still loved Pei Tong and Pei Fei's two grandsons very much, and when she knew what Pei Tong had done, she would only have that little face-saving affection for these two grandsons.

Mrs. Pei pondered whether to go to the Qian family's old mansion in the capital.

There are also many officials in the Qian family in the capital.

But across the room, she is such an old person, and she doesn't walk diligently.

But the old saying is not true, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this person, move around, and kiss.

Mrs. Pei pondered these things carefully in her heart, and the mother-in-law on duty at the Weeping Flower Gate came to give her a gift, saying that Mrs. Song sent someone to send a prayer post and wanted to come to greet her.

The Song family has become more and more unseemly in recent years.

The children's marriages all only look at the door and not the character, and the business in Suzhou was almost robbed by the Jiang family, this time when she came to the capital, Mrs. Pei knew that Mrs. Song Si was also in the capital, but she didn't let her call her over for a meal.

Mrs. Pei asked Mrs. Chen, "Is there any major event in the Song family recently?" ”

Aunt Chen also followed Mrs. Pei to see the world when she was young, and since she came to the capital, she would definitely inquire about what she should know.

She said: "The Song family hasn't had any major incidents these days. However, something happened to the Peng family. The seventh master of the Peng family heard that he was going to be demoted. She has always been close to the Peng family. ”

If it's just a simple visit to the elders, it's just a little relief that can be relieved, and a helping help can be helped. But if you are here for someone else's business, you should also understand what it is in advance, so as not to suddenly talk about it and not know what to do.

Mrs. Pei took the post in her hand and looked at it for a while, then looked at it backwards for a while, and then said, "It's a relative, come if you want to!" I am a widowed old lady, and my son and daughter-in-law are all watching, and it is my turn to speak and make up my mind. ”

That's what it means to help nothing.

Aunt Chen understood, but she couldn't help but remind Mrs. Pei: "Speaking of which, it's no wonder that the third master doesn't like the Peng family. Although the incident back then was that Peng Shiyi was narrow-minded and made his own opinions, if it weren't for the Peng family, would he dare to be so bold? It's just that the ancestral hall was solved privately, and it was also brought to the third master to show his merits, for fear that others would not know, and others said that their family was fair and selfless, and the family style was upright. ”

Old Madam Pei waved her hand and motioned for her to stop talking.

For fear that Yu Tang's reputation would be damaged, Peng Shiyi's assassination of Yu Tang, whether it was the Pei family or the Peng family, was suppressed and not let others know. But the Peng family also took advantage of this, making people feel that the Peng family had given the Pei family enough face, so that even if Pei Yan was full of heart, he could only swallow this breath temporarily.

But as Mrs. Chen said, Pei Yan is not the kind of person who can swallow his anger.

The Peng family's matter is only afraid that it will have nothing to do with Pei Yan.

Otherwise, Pei Yan would not have come to the capital for this trip.

Mrs. Song Si came to see her, although she had the affection of relatives here, and more, I am afraid she still wanted to say something for the Peng family.

But who is her glorious temper like?

Like her, of course!

Don't say that Yaoguang won't endure this breath, and she won't bear it either.

However, since Mrs. Song Si is willing to come, let her come.

Back then, she never had a chance to spit out this grievance, if Mrs. Song Si dared to be this middleman, then don't blame her for being polite.
