A fine sweat broke out on Pei Yan's forehead, but his expression was not panicked at all, and he was thinking about who it would be better to talk to him.

This person must have a good personal relationship with Yuwen and be able to talk to the Pei family.

It's a pity that the status of the Yu family and the Pei family is very different, and Pei Yan didn't find a suitable one after going through it in his mind.

Just when he was thinking about whether to beg Pei Lao'an, he suddenly thought of Master Wu who was drinking with him at Yu's house today.

Isn't this a ready-made candidate?

Pei Yan instructed Hu Xing: "You go and send a post to Master Wu in Qingzhu Lane, saying that the second master invited him to come to the house for a drink." ”

Hu Xing left in response.

Pei Yan went to Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan is holding a small watering can to clean the leaves of several pots of orchids he raises. Seeing his younger brother coming, he didn't put down the small watering can in his hand, but raised his chin and said "sit", and then asked him, "What kind of tea do you drink?" I have the newly sent Biluochun here, as well as Xinyang's hairy tips. ”

Both of them grew up in Lin'an, but they didn't drink much West Lake Longjing.

Pei Xuan prefers Biluochun and Xinyang's Maojian, and Pei Yan prefers Fujian's rock tea and Qimen's black tea.

Pei Yan didn't come to his brother to drink tea, but he was not the one who wronged him, and told Pei Xuan's little servant to make himself a pot of black tea from Qimen.

Because it was not the tea that Pei Xuan often drank, the little guy searched for a long time before he found the jar of Qimen black tea, and was complained by Ah Ming: "Since you don't remember clearly, just tell me, I'll run back and get it faster than you." ”

It's also thanks to the fact that the second master and the second wife are both soft, if they were in the third master's house, they would be transferred outside to sweep the yard early in the morning.

Pei Xuan talked to Pei Yan about his recovery: "I wrote a letter to my teacher, and his old man agreed with me to find a position in Beijing. But you also know that the third cousin on the fourth uncle's grandfather's side has also been interested in going to Beijing as an official recently, and I don't know your arrangement, thinking that when you finish the affairs in Hangzhou, we two brothers have to sit down and talk, so you came first. Then I'll have lunch here at noon, and I'll have someone make your favorite diced bun with radish sauce. ”

Pei Wang's third son is called Pei Feng, who is about the same age as Pei Xuan, and has been the prefect of Baoding Mansion for several years, so it stands to reason that he should be transferred to the capital as an official. But Pei Xuan and Pei Feng are brothers, and Pei Xuan is afraid that the Pei family will attract the attention of other families because of this.

Pei Yan has never agreed with the family's so-called "Taoguang and obscurity" approach.

There will be traces when people walk by, and the Pei family wants to be rich and noble, but they are afraid that they will not have the power to be a backer, which will be coveted and lead to the disaster of annihilation, how can they really fade out of the eyes of the world? The best way to do this, of course, is to join the WTO.

And who can really make it for generations.

Fall when you should be defeated, and be born when you should be reborn, this is the true way of life.

When he heard this, he said, "Brother doesn't have to worry about this. Even Cousin Feng's place, I also asked someone to bring a letter over and asked him to find Zhou Zijin, Zhou Zijin will be in the capital these days, so let him find a way to help Cousin Feng find a better position. Why should our family tolerate everywhere? Be careful? After a long time like this, people will be decadent. Look at the children of the next generation, apart from Pei Chan and Pei Bo, who else can make people take a second look? ”

Pei Xuan didn't say anything, he felt that what his younger brother said was right, and he felt that it was right for his father to make up his mind to hand over the Pei family to Pei Yan before he died.

He personally made tea for his younger brother.

Pei Yan reprimanded his brother in such a high-profile manner just now, and he was a little embarrassed to lower his head and beg Pei Xuan at this time.

The brothers drank two cups of tea in silence, and Pei Yan finally mustered up the courage and said, "Brother, I have something to ask you for!" ”

may be that he hardly asks for help, and his tone is quite blunt, but with Pei Xuan's understanding of his younger brother, he still knows that he has something very important to say to him.

Pei Xuan's heart sank.

His younger brother, not to mention being smart and strategic, is also arrogant, and he will not ask anyone for leisure.

Even if it's a brother of his mother's compatriots.

He couldn't help but sit upright, and said solemnly: "You say! ”

Pei Yan was even more uncomfortable. He lowered his head and took two sips of tea in a row, and then said slowly: "That's the case." Didn't my mother host a lecture in Zhaoming Temple a few days ago? The people of the Song family and the martial arts family came, and they either pulled their mothers or talked about my marriage all day long, and the fourth wife of the Song family simply lived at home and has not left until now. I thought that this was not a problem, and I was going to marry a girl from Lin'an. It just so happened that I was running errands in Hangzhou a few days ago, and the daughter of Yu Xiucai's family in Qingzhu Lane accompanied Yin Mingyuan's fiancée to Hangzhou, and we met a few times, and I thought that girl was good. I told my mother, and my mother thought it was good. Now there is a lack of someone to mention this matter to the Yu family. I'm going to beg my brother. ”

Pei Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

When did his brother become such an honest and timid person?

Did Song, Wu and others give in when they came to propose marriage?

Who was the person who made the Zhang and Li families unable to step down?

Pei Xuan couldn't help but look at his younger brother carefully.

Only then did he realize that Pei Yan's ears were a little red.

Ha ha!

Pei Xuan laughed in his heart.

What is the forced marriage, his brother is the daughter of Yu Xiucai's family!

What else did my mom agree to.

Maybe Mom was already so angry with him that she was lying on the bed.

Since his eldest brother married Yang, what his mother is most tired of is that he has granted it privately, and it's good to beat the mandarin duck if it's not good, and he agreed?

It was the first time for Pei Xuan to see Pei Yan twisted like this, he felt very interesting, and his heart paused: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." I'm going to discuss it with my mother, and you wait for my news. ”

When the time comes, see how Mom cleans him up!

Pei Xuan couldn't wait to meet Pei Laoanren.

Pei Yan saw his brother patting his chest and assured him, where would he have thought that Pei Xuan didn't think so at all in his heart. He was very grateful, and felt that he didn't pay enough attention to the second brother's affairs, so he said abruptly: "Then Brother Lao bothered." He also helped Pei Xuan come up with an idea, "Yu Xiucai has a very good personal relationship with Master Wu who lives next door to their house, if you go to Yu's house, you might as well take Master Wu to be your companion." ”

It's all about how to do it!

Pei Xuan immediately agreed, turned around and saw Pei Lao'an, but said, "Mom, what is my brother busy with these days?" Why did he ask me to help him propose, saying that he was going to marry the daughter of Yu Xiucai's family in Qingzhu Lane, did my mother know about it? We don't have much friendship with the Yu family, should we inquire in advance about what the Yu family is like! ”

Who knew that Pei Lao'an didn't appear in the Shura field he thought when he heard this, but just glanced at him lightly and said, "Your brother invited you to be a matchmaker?" Then you can go and inquire. ”

Pei Xuan touched his head, not knowing what to say.

Pei Laoan knows that his son, looking honest and responsible, is more naughty than an ignorant child.

"This is your brother's business," Pei Lao'an urged Pei Xuan, "You are a brother, you have to handle his affairs well, so as not to make people laugh at our Pei family." ”

Pei Xuan was stunned.

His mother really knew about it, and agreed to the marriage of the third child!

Didn't kneel outside the bedroom in the middle of the night like the boss? Didn't you get out of bed without being whipped with oil?

How did the third do it.

Why does he always do whatever he wants?!

Pei Xuan thought jealously, the old lady is eccentric!

He walked out of Pei Lao'an's courtyard dejectedly, and waited for Master Wu to come to the door and "drink tea" with him according to Pei Yan's instructions.

Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan did deliberately avoid him after coming to the house. didn't do anything out of the ordinary, she has been making hair flowers in her own house, preparing to give it to relatives and friends at home as gifts during the Chinese Valentine's Day, so that when Ma Xiuniang, who was not at ease, came to visit her, she found that she was actually calm, and the day she went to see her was not the same, as if she had changed a person, so she couldn't help but wonder if she had heard it wrong.

"You didn't say anything to my mom, did you?" Yu Tang asked Ma Xiuniang with some anxiety.

Ma Xiuniang glared at her and said, "Am I the kind of person who has no sense of proportion?" ”

In case Pei Yan hasn't settled the people in the family, she will shout out, if there are any gossips, how will Yu Tang be a person in the future!

Yu Tang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't help him speak." If he even asks me to come forward with these things, it can be seen that there is no sincerity. ”

This is what it means that no matter what Pei Yan is, if he tosses it, this family business can be accomplished, and he won't force it if it is not successful!

Ma Xiuniang gently pinched Yu Tang's face and said, "Don't be duplicitous, who is worried in front of me." ”

Yu Tang admitted it with a red face, but he was still not ready to help Pei Yan speak: "He can't even have the courage to speak about it, right?" That's not what I'm supposed to do. ”

That's right.

Ma Xiuniang nodded again and again, in the end, she still felt that Yu Tang would not encounter a better family affair than this, and she was a little worried that there would be no wind and waves, even if she went back from the Yu family, she would let the magpie stare at the movements of the Yu family.

But for a few days, there was no movement in the Yu family.

Just when she was hesitating whether to come to Yu's house again, Yuwen had already fried the pot.

He stared at Master Wu angrily and said, "What did you say?" The third master of the Pei family wants to marry the girl of our family?! What age is he? What age is our girl? No way! This is absolutely not a no-no! ”

Master Wu was thrilled by his categorical tone, and said, "The third master of the Pei family is just a teenager who became famous, and he is only six or seven years old from your girl. Isn't that great? The girl doesn't have to suffer with her uncle, she will be a Jinshi Confucian as soon as she goes, is there anything better than this? ”

"That's not going to work either!" As long as Yu Wen thought that Pei Yan was so good to their family, and even the money in the family that he thought he earned was all charity from others, he couldn't wait to run to Pei Yan and smash the silver he had eaten and drunk in the past into Pei Yan's face, "It's not that our girl can't get married, not to mention that our family wants to keep the girl to recruit her." ”
