Chapter 233: Asking for Praise
When Gu Chang heard this, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to look up at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan didn't give up, and said: "Although you are Pei Tong's eldest brother, you'd better leave our family's affairs alone." lest you end up like me and end up with a thankless effort. ”
Gu Chang thought of the gossip about the Pei family outside, and he sincerely apologized to Pei Yan for his sister: "I did something wrong about this matter, and I will discipline my sister well in the future." ”
Pei Tong is a member of the Pei family, and he can't control it.
But if there is a chance, he will definitely help persuade Pei Tong.
No matter how good the Yang family is, it is only Pei Tong's foreign family. Break off the relationship with the father's family, get close to the mother's family, and have no life-and-death enmity, and when you go to the officialdom in the future, you will definitely be attacked by your opponents.
Where can he still sit still, he doesn't care about having important matters to discuss immediately, he gets up and says, "I still have some things, I just forgot to deal with it, I'll come when I go." Strive not to delay everyone's business. ”
Pei Yan guessed that he was going to settle accounts with Gu Xi, and he was happy to see them eat dogs, and he was worried about Yu Tang's side, so he always wanted to find an excuse to send Tao Qing away, and he was afraid that Tao Qing would follow him, so he simply pretended to be generous, and said: "Whether you go to invite Wei Sanfu to Lin'an or visit Wang Qibao in Suzhou, you have to listen to your opinion." Anyway, the night is long, and everyone doesn't have anything important, if you have something to do, you can do it, and we will discuss it when you come over. ”
Gu Chang originally wanted to be humble, but when he thought of what Mrs. Pei had been doing these days, he felt that his sister was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and if he delayed for a quarter of an hour, his sister might be injured a little more, so he was not polite, and said, "Then thank you to the third master", and hurriedly went to Gu Xi.
Tao Qing outside saw him and said, "What's wrong with him?" Something can't happen again, right? "I look like I have palpitations.
Pei Yan glanced at Tao Qing and said, "It's not a big deal, it's his sister, there may be something important to find him, he will deal with it first." Most of the time the meeting will be postponed for a while. “
Tao Qing had been looking for an opportunity to talk to Pei Yan alone about the 200,000 taels of silver, but the party was postponed, which was exactly what he wanted, and he said, "Then let's go out for a walk." Later, they will come over intermittently, and they will just sit here and talk about it, with this effort, we might as well discuss the business in Guangdong! ”
If the city offices of Quanzhou and Ningbo were really removed, the Tao family, who occupied most of the wharves in Guangzhou, would become the target of public criticism. Since ancient times, eating alone has not ended well.
Pei Yan had no intention of continuing to talk about these chores with Tao Qing, he pondered in his heart, although it was a month since Shen Shanyan arrived in the capital, it was difficult to guarantee that the Li family would not leak the news that someone rescued her, and Miss Yu would definitely be very angry when she found out. Instead of letting her think nonsense there, he might as well tell his own plan and discernment, and with Miss Yu's ghost cleverness, maybe he can cooperate with him, so that the Li family will never turn over.
At this time, when he looked at Tao Qing who he personally invited, he felt that he was a little blind.
Pei Yan said: "I also have a bit of an urgent matter to deal with. We might as well discuss the matter of the city department later, you let me have an idea now, I can't think of a better idea for a while. ”
Tao Qing saw that his eagerness was already on his face, thinking that Gu Chang had come to Pei Yan for Pei Tong's study, thinking that Gu Chang had just come to say maybe it was Pei Tong's matter again, and the two had a dispute because of this, so Gu Chang would hurry to see his sister, and Pei Yan probably had to discuss this matter with Pei Lao'an.
This matter is indeed tricky and urgent.
Tao Qing couldn't stop him, and urged him to go back quickly.
Pei Yan nodded at Tao Qing, went back to straighten his clothes, and then walked to the Zen courtyard where the ladies lived in the east.
Tao Qing thought that Pei Yan really went to see Pei Lao'an, but fortunately he didn't stop him.
Business is important, but isn't business about making life better for the people in your family? If you neglect the people in your family because of this, the gains outweigh the losses.
He was even a little glad that he had formed an alliance with Pei Yan.
The two have the same opinion on major matters, and there are not too many gaps in doing business.
Tao Qing sat alone in the hall, and the old god was making tea on the ground.
Pei Yan, who was misunderstood by him, turned a corner after entering the Zen courtyard in the east and went to Yutang along the bamboo forest road.
Yu Tang was accompanying Chen to meet the guests.
The Wu family and the Wei family both got a resting room because of the Yu family, because they were going to move in later today, and they both sent their capable mothers-in-law to come and clean up a day in advance with the usual utensils, and these mothers-in-law came to greet the Chen family when they arrived at Zhaoming Temple.
The Chen family is usually taken care of by the Wu family and the Wei family, and is naturally very enthusiastic about the mother-in-law of the two families, not only frequently signaling them to drink tea, but also asking them if there are any inconveniences that they need her help with.
The mother-in-law of the two families said "I don't dare", thanked the Chen family, and said: "Everything is fine, the annoying wife is tired." ”
A few people greeted each other, and Shuangtao quietly walked up to Yu Tang and said a few words.
Yu Tang was very surprised and asked quietly, "Did he come alone?" ”
Shuangtao nodded and said, "Let Miss go and meet quickly, and say that there is something important to tell Miss." ”
Tomorrow is the lecture meeting, no matter how good the arrangement is, sometimes there will be mistakes, Yu Tang didn't think much about it, said to Chen, and went out with Shuangtao.
Pei Yan stood under the camphor tree at the door, still wearing a moon-white muslin robe, the jade tree was in the wind, which made Yu Tang a little trance for a while, as if the quarrel between the two was her memory, and now that she was sober, she returned to the scene where she met Pei Yan.
It's a pity that Pei Yan is a master of destroying the atmosphere.
When he saw Yu Tang, he beckoned to her and motioned for her to come over and speak.
Yu Tang was angry, but he still walked over patiently and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Her voice was a little stiff, and Pei Yan listened to it and let out a "tsk" in her heart, thinking why Miss Yu was still angry? That's too big, isn't it? Didn't you say that you received his candy and snacks? Do you not admit it when you receive something?
However, he has always been generous, and the other party is a little girl, so he can't be serious with Miss Yu for this little thing.
He said: "Do you want the Li family to be ruined and go away incognito from now on, and then make a comeback in a few years?" Or do you want their family to have suffering from now on, trembling, and being a man with their tail between their legs, and then they will be defeated? ”
Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan.
Isn't this nonsense?
She and the Li family have a common enmity.
There is still an innocent life between them in this life, how can they reconcile and forgive?!
But thinking of Pei Yan's character, Yu Tang felt that these assumptions and hints were useless, and it was better to tell him clearly.
"I want their family to pay for their lives!" Yu Tang's voice was crisp and authentic, and his big apricot eyes looked at Pei Yan without blinking, with a seriousness in his eyes that could not be misunderstood.
This little girl!
It's a personality!
Pei Yan sighed again in his heart, and then stopped beating around the bush, and said: "Mr. Shen came to intercede for Li Duan, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that even if I didn't make a move, with Mr. Shen's connections and friendships, I could ask someone else to help." I'll say yes......"
When he said this, he observed Yu Tang's expression.
She did not get angry or resentful, but looked at him as earnestly as before, waiting for him to speak.
Pei Yan's heart suddenly felt a little warm.
The little girl still believes in him, right?
Otherwise, with the grievances between her and the Li family, she should have jumped up when she heard such words. And she can still stand here calmly and listen to herself, which shows that she believes that she can avenge her.
Pei Yan regretted a little what he had done to make Yu Tang angry before.
He couldn't arbitrarily take advantage of Yu Tang's trust just because he believed him, and those who didn't believe in him deserved to be treated like this.
Pei Yan's throat was itching, and he coughed lightly, and then continued: "I wrote a letter to my mentor and a few senior brothers, and also gave Mr. Shen a copy of my name post, and asked him to go to Beijing to find my mentor and senior brother, and ask them to help Mr. Shen fish out the Li family." ”
Yu Tang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
But she remembered her previous misunderstanding of Pei Yan, and decided to endure it until Pei Yan finished talking and then settle accounts with Pei Yan no matter what, but she didn't realize why she settled accounts with Pei Yan......
Pei Yan saw that Yu Tang was still listening to him as he had seen him for the first time, and his heart was even more satisfied, and his voice couldn't help but carry a little pleasure that he hadn't found himself: "I told my teacher and my brother that our family owed Mr. Shen a great favor and had to repay it, so I had to help him write a letter to rescue the Li family." You must be wondering why I say that, right? ”
He involuntarily began to sell off again.
Yu Tang knew his character too well, so he touched his hair and cheered him on, saying, "Why do you say that?" ”
It can't really be because the Pei family owes Mr. Shen a great favor, right?
Pei Yan said a little proudly: "Because my teacher and my senior brothers hate those who are unkind to officials the most!" ”
Yu Tang was stunned.
Pei Yan looked at her with apricot eyes and a dull and surprised expression...... It felt like she looked too silly.
He couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "My teacher and my brother think that you can be selfish as an official, but you can't harm others. For those who hold authority are more harmful than tigers. For the sake of my face, they will help Mr. Shen get people out, but if the Li family wants to re-enter the official career, whether it is my mentor or my senior brothers, including those who are good friends with my mentor and senior brothers, they will suppress the Li family, lest their family recover and harm people again. ”
In this way, the Li family will have to cut off officialdom for at least fifty years.
If the children of the Li family are more slack in their studies, they may change from a family of generations of cultivation and study to a peasant household facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they may even not be able to do it and become tenants.
Pei Yan smiled at Yu Tang and said, "Therefore, I think that instead of letting the Li family stay in a place where we can't see, it is better to let them stay in Lin'an, and we can also help them at any time." What do you think? ”
Yu Tang shuddered.
What a bad idea!
But she liked it so much!
The Li family deserves such an end.
Who let their families use the bones of other people's families to achieve their own wealth!
Yu Tang nodded again and again, so excited that his cheeks were dyed with a layer of ruddy.
Pei Yan said "um" with satisfaction, feeling that Miss Yu had to find that she had thought of this idea for her, otherwise who would she seek revenge?
