The squires thought that Pei Yan was obviously defending the Yu family just now, and then heard that Pei Yan was going to leave Yu Wen alone to speak, and they couldn't help but look at Yu Wen's eyes with a little envy.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. It's the same with this family and place. Whoever is in power must always use a few people who he knows, is familiar with, or appreciates. Pei Yan had just taken over the suzerain of the Pei family, because he was still in the filial piety period, he didn't even celebrate it wantonly, plus Pei Yan was arrogant in the past, and he was not the eldest son, Pei Yan's eldest brother was a person with both talent and virtue, no one thought that the position of the suzerain of the Pei family would fall to Pei Yan's head, and the result was that everyone was not very familiar with Pei Yan, let alone any friendship. Now that everyone is working hard to find a way to talk to Pei Yan, suddenly seeing that Yuwen has such an opportunity, who is not moved in his heart?

Especially Master Wu. He and the Yu family are neighbors, and this time he consciously helped the Yu family a lot, and he has always been a shrewd person, so he immediately pushed Yu Wen when he heard the words, and whispered to Yu Wen: "Master Wei and I are waiting for you outside with the children, and you will let me know if you have anything." ”

Yu Wen was confused.

Before, he wanted to thank Pei Yan three times and twice for Chen's illness, but Pei Yan obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, he now felt that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water, but Pei Yan left him in front of so many people.

He didn't think that Pei Yan was trying to show favor to him, he felt that Pei Yan was mostly because of the matter between the Yu and Li families, and he had something to explain to him.

Because of this matter, from the investigation to taking people to asking Pei Yan to be the middleman, it was Yu Tang's idea, and he couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang didn't know what kind of medicine Pei Yan was selling in the gourd, but Pei Yan asked her father to speak in front of so many people, so it was reasonable that they couldn't refute Pei Yan's face.

She had no choice but to whisper to her father: "As long as it doesn't conflict with what happened just now, you can just respond." Master Pei San has a great kindness to our family. ”

Not to mention anything else, her mother still has to take the eldest wife of the Pei family every month to get the safe pulse of Yang Douxing's diagnosis!

Yu Wen thought about it, the gentleman has nothing to say to people, and their family has not done anything wrong, there is nothing they dare not say, and he suddenly felt extremely open in his heart. smiled and thanked the squires who came to testify, told Yu Tang and Yu Yuan a few words of "don't run around", and whispered a few words to Master Wei's father and son, Master Wu, "Wait for me to come out", and stayed in the hall.

Pei Yan has been paying attention to the movements of Yu's father and daughter, and when he saw him leaving Yuwen to speak, and Yuwen still had to look at his daughter, he had a bad premonition in his heart. But his character is like this, as long as he doesn't know something, he must figure it out. No matter what the Yu father and daughter have, he won't just forget it.

He simply instructed Pei Man: "Please invite Master Wu and Master Wei to the flower hall next to you for tea, and we will finish talking soon." ”

The last sentence was said to Yu Tang and others.

Master Wu was worried that he couldn't catch Pei Yan, hearing this was like meeting someone to hand him a pillow when he was sleepy, for fear that Yu Tang and Master Wei and others would not know the severity, so they easily gave up this opportunity, and without waiting for Master Wei to speak, he hurriedly saluted Pei Yan and said with a smile: "Then bother Master Pei San." ”

Pei Yan nodded slightly.

Master Wu pulled Master Wei out of the hall.

But the small bridge and flowing water outside the hall, the rockeries are stacked, and the scenery is all the same, which makes people unable to distinguish the southeast and northwest for a while, let alone where the flower hall Pei Yan refers to.

The little guy who led the way couldn't help but smile, but his tone was respectful, and said, "Two masters, please come with the little one." ”

"Oh, oh, oh!" Master Wu responded, straightened his clothes, and felt that no one had discovered his embarrassment just now, so he took the lead in front of everyone, and followed the little guy through a crooked red lacquer corridor, walked through a flower wall, and arrived in front of a flower hall with colored glazed doors on all sides.

"Oh my God!" Master Wu's eyes straightened when he looked at it, "This, how much silver does this cost?" After speaking, he was shocked to realize that he was out of shape, and hurriedly explained to Master Wei, "I have seen this kind of colored glass, and it is still in the house of the official eunuch in the capital." The last time I came to Pei's Mansion, it seemed that it was still pasted with silk yarn, but this time it was changed to colored glass. A small square foot costs fifty taels of silver, not to mention such a large piece, I am afraid that it is difficult to buy it even if you have money, which is more magnificent than those official eunuchs in the capital! ”

Master Wei didn't pay attention to Master Wu's incoherent speech, he was still worried about Yu Wen, but he was also stunned by the glass door he saw in front of him. He looked at the doors and muttered, "This is beautiful!" The entire Lin'an City is also the first one, right? Look at the picture on it, it's a happy eyebrow, right? It is also inlaid with gold leaf. How is this mounted? This craft is overseas, right? It's the first time I've seen it. ”

Yu Tang, Yu Yuan, and Wei Xiaoyuan were also amazed by these glass doors.

Yu Yuan and Wei Xiaoyuan were because they met for the first time, and Yu Tang remembered the events of his previous life.

After the Li family became rich by participating in the maritime business, they also replaced the doors of the flower hall with colored glazed ones like this. However, the Li family is not like the flower hall of the Pei family, the flower hall of the Li family is only inlaid with eight fronts, while the flower hall of the Pei family is full of doors on all sides, not to mention, and there are twelve on the east and west sides, and twenty-eight on the north and south sides...... The door of the Li family is inlaid with four gentlemen such as Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum, etc., the door of the Pei family is obviously much more complicated, in addition to flowers, there are also some birds and beasts, peacocks and cranes are the most, those feathers, the painting is exquisite, rich and gorgeous, the light falls on it, shining, like a treasure.

The door of the Li family is obviously an imitation of the tiger.

Even so, Lin said triumphantly to the guests at that time: "It's all from overseas, and it's more expensive than gold." Specially find someone to customize, otherwise what you see will be all yellow-haired and green-eyed Fanbang woman portraits, ugly to death. ”

These doors of the Pei family are also specially customized, and then they are brought back from overseas!

Then the Pei family should have started to have contacts with those who do maritime business at this time.

At least, the Pei family is not a small guest of those merchants.

Yu Tang was a little surprised.

It's not the first time that the guy leading the way has seen such a shocked look on his guest's face.

He let the guests look at the doors, and said with honor: "These are all brought back by our third master to honor the old lady." After the old lady went, the third master originally wanted to replace these doors with plain white glass, but our old man said that the old lady liked to receive relatives and friends here the most, and if the third master was filial, he should keep the things that the old lady liked. Speaking of which, the little guy probably thought of the scene at that time, and then continued, "The third master said that since the old lady likes it so much, then give the old lady a funeral." Lao An didn't agree, saying that the third master was working with the old lady. The old lady obviously likes to boast in front of relatives and friends that these doors are honored by the third master, and the third master has to spill the old lady's face. Later, it was the second master who stepped forward and left all these doors behind. ”

Master Wu laughed and chatted with the little guy: "That's, that's." If I had such a son, I would have to be bragged about once. However, the third master is really generous, such a flower hall, it took a lot of effort, right? ”

"Not really!" It was obviously not the first time that the little guy had entertained such guests, and after inviting them into the flower hall, he immediately pointed to the roof of the flower hall skillfully and said, "You see, the lamps are also colored glass, and at night, when the candles are lit, it is simply more beautiful than fireworks." Look at the tusks on the Bogu shelf over there, the tusks are longer than a person's arms, it's rare, right? It is also the filial piety of the third master of our family to the old lady, and the eight treasures of King Kong on it, but we didn't see it in the temple, they were all brought back from overseas. ”

Master Wei said that Master Wu was a businessman, and he immediately smelled something different from it.

He chatted with the little guy as if unintentionally: "These things are so rare, where did you three masters get them?" ”

The little guy puffed up his chest proudly and said, "Of course I got it from the capital." The second senior brother of the third master of our family, but now the elder of the pavilion, the third master of our family is a closed disciple of Zhang Shangshu, and the relationship with the senior brothers above is good. If we three old men want to get some rare things, we don't just need to move our mouths. Which of those who do maritime business in the capital can't rush to our third master! Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said, "No wonder the third master of our family is not used to it after he comes back, who is used to those good days of prosperity and prosperity, and then returns to a place like Lin'an City will be a little uncomfortable." Therefore, our old man always said that the third master of our family was filial, and the old lady lost all this big mess to the third master before he died, although the third master said that he was unwilling in his heart, but he still resigned and came back to be the sect master. ”

Isn't it a keep? How did it become a resignation?

Master Wu couldn't help but say: "Is the third master of your family no longer recovering?" ”

The little girl smiled: "The Pei family has family rules, and those who are the sect masters have to keep their business in the ancestral house, and they are not allowed to go out to be officials." ”

Everyone was stunned, feeling both surprised and logical.

Many big families are like this, and when they become the suzerain, they stay in their hometown and keep their jobs, and no longer go out to be officials. To everyone's surprise, it is a pity to let a young talent like the third master stay at home at such a young age.

When you think about it, the rumors out there are not very reliable.

The suzerain is important, but if you can have a smooth career and leave your name in history, wouldn't it be better to reflect your value than to be a suzerain who keeps your business?

Pei Yan, as the sect leader of the Pei family, also made sacrifices, and he himself may not be willing.

Yu Tang felt as if his head had been hit by something, and there were a lot of thoughts coming to him, and he couldn't grasp what he was thinking for a while.

In her previous life, Pei Yan didn't go to be an official again, she took it for granted, but now that she looks at it, she doesn't see how she reveals a sense of disobedience.

Old lady Pei seems to favor Pei Yan like this, but it also breaks Pei Yan's career. On the contrary, it is the long house, which seems to have lost the position of the sect, but the two sons can freely participate in the imperial examination and be officials freely. There is also a second room, since he is rumored to be the most incompetent of the brothers, why not let him stay at home and keep his business?

The long room and the second room seem to have been treated unfairly, but it is Pei Yan who is really trapped at home, and the descendants of Pei Yan's room will also have a great possibility of being trapped in Lin'an City.

Yu Tang thought of Pei Yan's eyebrows, always with a somewhat indifferent and even gloomy face.

Is it because of this that he is always unhappy?

Yu Tang's heart was pounding, and he always felt as if he had inadvertently peeked into something.
