Chapter 82: Stratagem
When Pei Yan first looked at the nautical map, he was still a little careless because he had seen a lot of nautical charts, but the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became.
Is there something wrong with this map?
Although Yu Tang was confident in her own inference, she was facing Pei Yan, who was a jinshi at a young age, and had watched politics in the six departments of the capital, and Pei Yan, who had seen a lot of knowledge, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.
Pei Yan secretly gasped.
He examined the map again.
Yu Tang couldn't hold back in the end, and said with some trepidation: "Third master, this map ......"
Pei Yan threw the concave and convex mirror in his hand on the copied map, frowned, walked to the small round table next to the bookcase with a solemn face, pointed to the circle chair next to the round table, and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”
Yu Wen and Yu Tang couldn't help exchanging a bewildered look, and then sat down cautiously.
Pei Yan personally refilled a cup of tea for the father and daughter, and then said to the two in a deep voice: "Can you tell me the details of how you found this map." ”
Yu Wen looked at Pei Yan's solemn expression, knowing that this matter was very likely to be very important, so he didn't dare to add oil and vinegar, and was afraid that his unclear words would affect Pei Yan's judgment, so he pointed at Yu Tang and said, "Did you find out about this matter, or did you come to tell the third master about it." ”
Yu Tang organized the language and explained the story in detail.
During this period, Pei Yan listened very carefully.
The father and daughter's rhetoric is similar, which shows that the Yu family was able to find out about this incident by pure accident.
In other words, the Li family knew that there was something wrong with this painting.
This also involves the Fu'an Peng family.
Pei Yan waited until Yu Tang finished speaking, thought about it, and said, "I thought this was just an ordinary map. Since your family didn't want to get involved in this dispute, they came up with an idea that could help your family get out of trouble - take out this map, and the Pei family will be the consignor and help you auction it, and the one with the highest price will get it. Your family will have some money, and you will be able to get rid of it in the name of it. This can be regarded as the reward for the good deeds done by Master Yu. ”
Yu Tang felt his eyes light up when he heard it.
Master Pei San's idea is really good!
Instead of making people suspect that their family already knows the content of the map, it is better to auction it publicly, so that those who are capable, powerful, and can protect themselves can go, you have the ability to find trouble with others, don't bully them Yu family.
Their Yu family is just an ordinary merchant.
But listening to Pei Yan's tone, it seems that he can't do this now.
Yu Tang was anxious, and couldn't help but interrupt Pei Yan's words, and said eagerly: "Then why can't it be done now?" The third master, you are really powerful, and you came up with such a good idea in a blink of an eye. ”
She was willing to shoot this sycophant.
If the Pei family is willing to be the middleman and come forward to help their family auction this map, they will be able to completely extract it from it. Moreover, the person who has the ability to take this picture cannot be a nameless family, even if it is not as prominent as the Fu'an Peng family, I am afraid it is not so easy to mess with.
At that time, the Li family will look good.
The map that they have worked so hard to get is not the only one, so what can they do in front of the Peng family?
She looked at Pei Yan eagerly.
Yu Wen also looked at Pei Yan eagerly and said, "Is there anything wrong with this map?" Although this picture was copied by someone, the person who copied it was very good and quietly stamped it with a private seal. ”
In case something is wrong, I don't know if it is useful to find a money master?
Pei Yan was shocked to realize that he had inadvertently sold a pass. He smiled: "It's not that there's anything wrong with this map, it's that this map is too precious." Whether it's an auction or a stake in which store you want to buy a stake in is up to you to decide. ”
This smile is too bright, isn't it?
At that moment, it was as if the ice and snow were melting, the earth was rejuvenated, and the whole face seemed to be glowing, so handsome that people couldn't look at it directly.
Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan's face, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
This time he should be really smiling, too.
How lucky I was to see Pei Yan smile sincerely twice in one day.
Yu Tang was amazed in his heart, didn't dare to think about it, and looked at his father.
I saw my father's expression sluggish, as if he had been hit in the head by the news.
She hurriedly shouted "Daddy".
Yu Wen was excited, and his brain began to spin again.
Their Yu family background is thin, this map is too precious, in their hands, it is like a three-year-old child dancing with a big knife, he can't move at all, either cutting others or cutting himself. As things stand, the chances of them being cut are much greater than the chances of cutting others.
Yu Wen immediately made a decision. He said: "Third master, what kind of picture is this? How can it be as valuable as you say? If we imagine what you said, and still hire the Pei family as a middleman, can we auction this map? ”
Pei Yan was quite surprised, but his eyes fell on Yu Tang.
He knew that the eldest lady of the Yu family was very assertive, and Yu Wen might not be able to control her.
Yu Tang was in favor of his father's decision.
Eat as much as you have as big a bowl.
Eating from the bowl and looking at the people in the pot usually don't end well.
Although she was also curious about how precious this map was, how to get the Yu family out of this tornado-like incident, the safety of the whole family was the most important thing.
Yu Tang hurriedly nodded towards Pei Yan and expressed his opinion.
Pei Yan smiled self-deprecatingly.
He suddenly knew why he was willing to help the Yu family.
It's not that Miss Yu is beautiful, it's not that Yu Wen is open-minded, but that the people of the Yu family have always seen it very clearly.
Even if it is rich and monstrous, it must be able to bear it.
He had seen too many people who had lost their way in the clouds of power.
Including himself when he was younger.
This is the most valuable thing about the Yu family.
Especially Miss Yu - Yu Wen has such a heart, which is related to his age and experience, which can be seen from the fact that he no longer goes to the exam, which is not unusual. But the young Miss Yu also has such a mind and bearing, which is impressive.
He glanced at Yu Tang deeply and decided to help the Yu family in this matter one more time.
"Although it is also a maritime business, do you know that there are several types of maritime business?" Pei Yan put away his joking heart and said solemnly, "There are three places in Dangchao City, one is Ningbo, one is Quanzhou, and the other is Guangzhou. And the route of the sea voyage is either to Sulu, or to Siam, or to Ceylon, but your map is to the Great Food. ”
Yu Wen and Yu Tang were dizzy when they heard this, and they looked at each other.
Where is Sulu? And where is Ceylon? Is Big Food important?
Yu Tang didn't want his father to lose face in front of Pei Yan, so he said before his father spoke: "Third master, what do you mean by this?" Is there very few boats going to the big food? So this map is worth a lot of money? ”
"It's not!" Pei Yan saw that the father and daughter did not understand this, and carefully explained, "I am looking for the existing fleet, whether it is going to Sulu or Siam, in the end, I hope that these things can be sold for big food. Because Great Food is a very rich kingdom. In the past, none of us knew how to go directly to Da Shi, so we had to sell our goods to Sulu, Siam and other places, and then their merchants would sell them to Da Shi. This map of yours is a new route, a route that we have wanted to go to in the past but have never been able to go. And this route is from Guangzhou, which is even more precious. ”
Yuwen's father and daughter still didn't understand.
Pei Yan told them: "The imperial court has wanted to close the sea several times because of the affairs of the Japanese invaders. In particular, the city offices of Ningbo and Quanzhou have each been locked down once. Recently, some courtiers proposed to abolish the city offices in these two places. If it is passed by the court, it is possible that the two municipal offices will be abolished again. The fleet had no choice but to leave Guangzhou. You say, "Is this picture of yours precious?" ”
Yu Wen and Yu Tang's eyes widened.
In other words, their home is even more dangerous.
The father and daughter couldn't help but say in unison: "Auction!" Master Pei San, this map will be auctioned. ”
Yu Wen even felt that the auction was not safe, so he changed his words and said, "Master Pei San, do you want to do maritime business?" Why don't I give it to you? We don't want money. It should be regarded as a thank you gift for helping Humble Jing find a doctor. ”
Pei Yan's face darkened.
He did good deeds, and he even did a clever robbery!
Yu Tang felt that his father's words were too straightforward, as if he was throwing a pot, and when he looked at Pei Yan again, her face was dark, her mind spun faster than ever before, and the words came out quickly: "Daddy, you're not right." If Master Pei San wants this map, he can just trade with us directly, how can he say that he will guarantee our family and auction this map? ”
"yes, yes!" Only then did Yu Wen realize that he had said the wrong thing and smiled at Pei Yan.
Yu Tang was afraid that Pei Yan would leave it alone.
Only a family like the Pei family can invite a family with the same power as the Peng family to participate in the auction, so as to ensure the safety of their family.
Her kind words kept jumping out like nothing: "The third master is not such a person!" You don't know, I met the third master when I went to the Pei family's pawnshop in the past......" She crackled and told Yuwen about several chance encounters between the two.
Yu Wen was embarrassed and apologized to Pei Yan: "It's all because I didn't have a brain to speak......"
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang's ruddy little mouth opening and closing one by one, and felt as if there were hundreds of sparrows chirping around him, and his braincase was a little faintly painful.
He interrupted Yu Tang: "Okay, okay, don't mention the past again." ”
Yu Tang didn't mention the past, and continued to hold Pei Yan: "But I think what you said is really reasonable." The best thing to do is to auction it. However, since this map is so precious, you say, can we ask someone to copy a few more copies and then auction them all off? Since I was a child, I have heard my uncle say that it is most taboo to eat alone in business. If you eat alone, everyone will be red-eyed, and they will join forces to deal with you. If there were more families doing business together, they couldn't all be jealous, right? ”
Pei Yan didn't know what to say.
This little girl is still playing with him.
I'm afraid that the Yu family won't be able to stay out of the matter, so I said it directly, turning such a big turn, didn't he just think about their Pei family, and he Pei Yan came forward to carry this pot?
