Miss Song Qi was afraid that Miss Song Liu would offend the young lady of the Peng family, so she hurriedly said: "My sister didn't mean this, she was just too surprised." Then he smiled bitterly, "I don't know how the two sisters feel, anyway, I'm the same as my sister, I'm too surprised." Even if Miss Yu is smart and clever, the Pei family is too good to Miss Yu. ”

The Peng family, like the Song family, is a local wealthy family, I don't know how many people want to flatter their family, every year there are many squires who try their best to send their daughters to their house to play, want to win their favor, before leaving the pavilion have a good reputation to be able to walk around their house, after leaving the pavilion can talk to the aunts and grandmothers of the Peng and Song families, and take the path of the aunts of the Peng and Song families.

But whether it is the Peng family or the Song family, they all have a little contempt for the girl who was sent to them like this, and no one can get such a courtesy from the Pei family like Yu Tang.

This made the young ladies of the Peng and Song families wonder if Yu Tang had any unknown identity background or ability.

A few young ladies, you look at me, I look at you, and I didn't say anything for a long time.

It was still Miss Song Jiaqi who had eyes, and tried to say: "Otherwise, let's take a look first." Don't offend people, you don't know yet. Anyway, if we go too far, at least the Pei family's face is not good-looking. ”

The two young ladies of the Peng family nodded again and again.

Miss Song Liu didn't give up, and said, "Why don't we go and ask Miss Gu?" I look at Miss Gu's appearance, and it seems that I am quite familiar with Miss Yu. ”

In the final analysis, I still don't believe the results of the Peng family's investigation.

The two Miss Peng were very unhappy, but they also knew that Miss Song Family Sixth was out of tune, so they said a few words to Miss Song Family Seven, "It's okay, find someone to inquire more, maybe you can inquire about something else", and then got up and said goodbye.

Miss Song Qi knew that her sister had completely offended the Peng family, and she was a little annoyed with her, so she took her back to the wing room, and found an excuse that she was going to ask the fourth wife of the Song family to say goodbye, so she left her with Mrs. Song and ran away alone.

But Miss Song Liu didn't notice anything, and talked to Mrs. Song Si about Yu Tang, and said, "Could it be that the Yu family is in-law with whom!" ”

Mrs. Song Si had already received the letter, knew the content of Pei Yan's discussion during the day, and was worried that the Song family needed to come up with a large sum of money to deal with Wang Qibao and Wei Sanfu, where would she have time to pay attention to the intrigue between these little girls, she impatiently sent Miss Song Liu away, and began to discuss the matter of raising money with her personal mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law also looked down on Miss Song Liu, so she gave Mrs. Song Si an idea: "It's really not good, just marry Miss Six!" ”

There are nouveau riche who want to marry the Song family and are willing to pay a large amount of dowry, and it is impossible for the Song family to take a fancy to such a family. But Miss Song Liu is too capable of causing trouble, and at this time, as soon as the mother-in-law mentioned it, Mrs. Song Si was a little moved, and said in a deep voice: "The Song family will not be reduced to the point of selling their sons and daughters, but you are right, the sixth child is afraid that it will be a disaster if he stays around, and it is better to marry as soon as possible." ”

The mother-in-law spoke so hard in front of Mrs. Song Si because of the good of the nouveau riche, and now that she has the letter and figured out what Mrs. Song Si means, the more she feels that this matter may really be done by mistake, and she is more and more energetic, and said: "Over the years, the Song family has been slighted when they go out, and it has nothing to do with the young ladies in the family. The young ladies of your Gu family and the Shen family, although they are not as magnificent as the ladies of our family, are they still respected? The wife is going to rectify the wind, so as not to affect the marriage of the master. ”

This time, Mrs. Song Si wanted to marry the girl of the Pei family for her son, but Pei Lao'an clearly refused. Mrs. Song Si is on fire in her heart, where can she still hear these words? Although she didn't say anything, she secretly made up her mind to marry Miss Song Liu when she went back.

But in front of this woman, she still didn't say anything, and continued to talk about raising money: "I don't know when those two ships will go to sea?" This large amount of silver is thrown into it every day, and I look at it and panic in my heart. In this way, the Peng family still said that it was not enough, and they had to build two more ships. In my opinion, the Peng family does not want to do business with our family, but wants to use this method to drag our family down, and when the ship goes to sea, our family can only listen to their family. ”

The mother-in-law can still say a few words about the affairs of the inner house, but when it comes to the affairs of the outer courtyard, it is completely unreasonable.

She didn't dare to speak, and laughed beside her.

Pei Yan's side, discussed all morning in the morning, and at noon, everyone went back to discuss with their respective staff members for a long time, and had a preliminary charter in their hearts, and in the evening, everyone was ready to get together again and set the details of how to receive Wei Sanfu and how to visit Wang Qibao.

That is, how much money each family pays, and what are the requirements?

Gu Chang came to see Pei Yan in advance because of Gu Xi and Pei Tong, but he didn't expect Tao Qing to come earlier than him, and Shen Shanyan also became Pei Yan's guest.

He couldn't hide his surprise.

Shen Shanyan smiled bitterly and said bluntly to Gu Chang: "I am here for the Li family's affairs. Yaoguang promised to help, but I was afraid that things would change, so I forced Yaoguang to write me a letter of recommendation? ”

Even if Pei Yan agreed to help, it would be impossible for him to go in person, and he could only rely on Shen Shanyan himself to do something for the Li family.

Because of Gu Xi, Gu Chang didn't want to ask much about this matter, but Tao Qing didn't have any scruples, and asked Shen Shanyan curiously: "What are your plans?" ”

The implication is that Pei Yan helps them to achieve their goal.

Shen Shanyan knew that the Tao family had their own connections and means in the imperial court, and luckily hoped that the Tao family could help Pei Yan for the sake of Pei Yan, so he spoke very directly, and said: "Li Yi did such a thing, and heaven would not tolerate it, and I would not care about him." I just want to keep Li Duan's reputation so that he can continue to participate in the imperial examination in the future. ”

It's a bit harder.

It's easy to keep his reputation, but if Li Duan continues to take the imperial examination, it will definitely be a career path, and a student who takes an official career must have a good reputation, a good reputation, and there can be no one who commits adultery within three generations, so Li Yi cannot be dismissed in the name of greedy ink.

Gu Chang couldn't help but look at Pei Yan, who was writing a letter.

Pei Yan's expression was calm, his posture was focused, and there was no ripple on his pearl-like face, obviously he already knew Shen Shanyan's plan.

Inexplicably, he felt that Shen Shanyan's request was a bit excessive.

Gu Chang couldn't help but say: "Yaoguang, I'm afraid that Dali Temple can't afford this matter, right?" ”

Pei Yan bowed slightly, regretting it in his heart.

Knowing that this was the case, he shouldn't have been angry with Yu Tang, so he agreed to Shen Shanyan angrily.

He wasn't usually so easily provoked.

If you want to blame, you have to blame Miss Yu.

Let him do such a thing that is contrary to his heart.

However, Shen Shanyan also seemed to be covered with eye feces, and he actually wanted Li Duan to continue his career.

Others say that he married Mrs. Shen because he poured blood mold, but now it seems that he and Mrs. Shen are clearly a good couple.

However, he has a way to make Li Duan see that he can't eat.

The thought flashed through him, and he suddenly paused.

If Miss Yu knew that Li Duan would end up like this, she would definitely be very happy, right?

Why did he do good deeds without leaving a name?

He had to tell Miss Yu about it.

Pei Yan thought about it and happily decided to do so.

He replied to Gu Chang: "So I'm going to write a letter to my mentor and ask him to come forward to see if I can keep the reputation of the Li family." ”

Zhang Ying is just a secretary of the ministry, but when he was a secretary of the ministry, he brought a lot of people, and asking such a person to make a move is not just a matter of silver.

As for whether it can be successful, it depends on Shen Shanyan's ability.

Shen Shanyan was grateful, and said, "I said why did you write a letter for such a long time, it turns out that there is still a letter to the boss." Yaoguang, I have written down your kindness, and when Li Duan and them come back from the capital, I will personally bring him to thank you. ”

"You don't have to say thank you." Pei Yan said with a sad face, "This is against my principles of life." If you really want to thank me, don't tell anyone about it. I'm afraid that others will know that I gave the Li family a hand, and when the time comes, I will point at our Pei family's nose and scold, so that our Pei family will not be able to live in peace. ”

Shen Shanyan's face turned red, and he took Pei Yan's name and letter and left Zhaoming Temple in a hurry.

Tao Qing looked at it and lowered his head and smiled.

Gu Chang was puzzled.

Tao Qing didn't explain, but said: "Chaoyang came to find Yaoguang so early, there must be something to say to Yaoguang." I've been sitting here for a long time, and I'm just getting up and going outside to move my muscles. You guys talk, leave me alone. With that, he got up and walked out of the hall.

Pei Yan didn't know if he was tired or in his own home, and habitually showed an arrogant attitude.

He sat there with a golden sword, pointed to the Taishi chair below, and said, "If there is anything to sit down and say!" ”

The kind of calmness and calmness that knows everything well made Gu Chang very uncomfortable for a while, and felt that he repeatedly came to talk to Pei Yan about Pei Tong, which was not only a little childish, but also a little narrow-minded.

He hesitated to talk to Pei Yan about Pei Tong again, Pei Yan was a little impatient - since he had lunch, he wanted to say a few words to him in private, he was so little talkative, his mouth was thirsty, he really didn't have the heart to guess with Gu Chaoyang again.

"You're here for Pei Tong's business, right?" Pei Yan got straight to the point, "Do you know how old Pei Tong is now?" ”

Gu Chaoyang was stunned.

Pei Yan didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "He is only eighteen years old this year. I don't know how you Gu family did it. But look at our Pei family, let's not talk about studying for the time being, who goes out to be an official, who is not a capable official or a good minister? That's because our Pei family not only requires their children to study, but also requires them to be able to read, especially those who can take official careers. Pei Tong's matter is not up to me, it is my eldest brother who left his last words when he was dying, asking him to participate in the imperial examination after ten years. He was so noisy that he had to go out to study, because he was influenced by my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law could only listen to the words of the Yang family. If you think it doesn't matter, I won't stop him, you ask him to write me a letter of plea, and I'll let him go out to study. But from now on, he has nothing to do with the Pei family.

It's impossible for our Pei family to break the rules because of him alone! ”
