"Master Pei, don't be in a hurry."

Gao Shiqing pretended to appease Pei Youan, "It's not a bad chance to stay in front of the emperor." Although he was able to make military contributions in the southwest, he was far away from the capital after all, and without the great merit of destroying tens of thousands of enemies, he could not enter the eyes of saints at all. When will you be in a high position? It's different in front of the emperor, just a little credit, you can be added to the knighthood. ”

He is not wrong in what he said, at the border pass, unless there is a big war of foreign invasion, it is difficult to get promoted.

Pei Youan naturally understands this truth, but the path of ascension he chose for himself is not in the capital and the imperial front, but in the southwest and in the north. He wants to enter the court with martial arts, and only with heavy troops in his hands can the foundation of the road of power and ministers be stable.

can listen to Gao Shiqing's words, he shouldn't help out.

It's not that he doesn't know the selfishness of the Gao family, he just rushed to the doctor and gave it a try.

Hooking the corners of his lips mockingly, Pei Youan nodded, "Mr. Gao's words are very reasonable. Didn't you say that General Ben would never be able to earn his title as a Duke of the Kingdom in his life? General Ben stayed in the capital, let him take a good look, whether General Ben can or not! ”

This is said very aggressively, and there is a great posture to be on the bar with Xie Xun.

Gao Shiqing smiled and patted Pei You'an's shoulder, "It's right that Pei Gongzi can think like this, and it is not in vain the grace of the saint." ”

Pei Youan gave Gao Shiqing a smile back, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

If he said that when he came, his father told him that now is the time to form an alliance with the Gao family and jointly deal with the Xie family, after this incident, he feels that the dispute with the Gao family should start from this moment, otherwise it will be difficult for the Pei family to turn over when the Gao family calculates to death.

Cooperation should always go hand in hand with preparedness calculations.

Pei Youan even doubted that this incident was not Gao Shiqing's intention to calculate the Pei family. After all, Gao Shiqing knew that the Xie family was so good. Gao Shiqing didn't say it, so much of a tongue is very powerful. He didn't expect what would happen to the Imperial Study?

The more Pei Youan thought about it, the more he realized that Gao Shiqing in front of him was cunning and treacherous.

It is worthy of being the champion appointed by the emperor of the Jinluan Palace, and he must be cautious when dealing with this person in the future.

In fact, Pei Youan's speculations really wronged Gao Shiqing. The Pei family has just arrived, even if they want to calculate, they will not start so early. Gao Shiqing just wanted to use the Pei family to slap the Xie family and Xie Xun in the face. Unexpectedly, the lost harvest of Sangyu in the east corner advanced the Gao family's plan for the Pei family.

"Father, you might as well mention it to the fourth prince and arrange for some people to go to the Southwest Army. When the Pei family's heirs enter Beijing, there must be many vacancies in the army. The father used his in-laws as an excuse, and the Marquis of the Southwest could not refuse. ”

Coming out of the guest house, Gao Shiqing came to the main courtyard where his father lived.

Gao Shangshu stroked his beard and smiled, "What Wu'er said is very right, this is really a great opportunity to meddle in the military affairs of the southwest. Speaking of which, we also have to thank that Xie Xuan. ”

Gao Shiqing shook his head with a smile, "Who said it wasn't." Only the father, the Pei family, also told the four princes to do more to appease. The Gao family also has to give some blood to show sincerity. ”

Gao Shangshu pondered for a moment and made up his mind, "Give our sea ship to the Pei family." ”

It costs money to raise soldiers, especially since the Pei family has no mines, and they are not good at running business roads, so they only rely on the military salaries of the imperial court and the things robbed by bandits, and they are stretched thin every year. These situations are known to the people in the imperial court. This is also one of the reasons why the emperor chose the Pei family.

A sea ship earns at least 200,000 taels of silver every year, and it can earn more if it catches up with a good year.

"By the way, what do you think of the Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the queen?" After solving the matter of the Pei family, Gao Shangshu changed the topic.

Gao Shiqing frowned, "I'm just afraid that the purpose is not good." ”

Gao Shangshu stroked his beard and thought about it, "Your marriage, have you considered it?" ”

The war with the crown prince and the Xie clan is about to begin, and the Gao family needs more allies. The marriage of the sister-in-law will become the most important bargaining chip.

"During the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the ladies in the capital gather, and I can pick a good one."

Gao Shangshu thought that his son hadn't thought about it yet, so he gave his son advice.

"Don't pick, my son has decided to marry Chu Shangshu's daughter-in-law, Chu Yu, as his wife."

"Chu Hui's daughter of that old horseman?" Gao Shangshu frowned and shook his head disapprovingly, "The Chu family and the Xie family are world friends, but I'm afraid they are not a good match." ”

"It is precisely because of the friendship between the Chu Xie family that the son wants to be inserted between them."

Gao Shiqing sneered lowly, "As long as the Gao family and the Chu family get married, it will be a thorn in the hearts of the Xie and Chu families, and sooner or later they will fall apart." In addition, Chu Yu has a long jade face and fairy appearance, the key is that she is not only beautiful, but also very smart. As far as her son knows, at the young age of seventeen, she is already helping Chu Hui take care of the affairs of the sea vessels. ”

The high-ranking families in the capital are more or less involved in the sea trade of private goods, especially the Hubu Shangshu Chu family, and the sea ships are the most.

Gao Shangshu was a little surprised, "My father thought that you would choose a talented girl, like the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department." ”

"The dance is just a minutiae, only a woman like Chu Yu who is smart and daring is worthy of being the future housewife of my Gao family."

Although Gao Shiqing is famous for his literary talents, he is a pragmatic person at heart and knows the importance of silver. In the future, the Gao family will still have to raise soldiers, and it will be difficult to move an inch without silver. If it weren't for his champion body, he really couldn't be contaminated with the turbidity of the world, and he would have wanted to open a store to make money himself.

"I'm afraid that the old man of Chu Hui will not be able to agree to this marriage."

Anyone with eyes can see that this marriage hides a great edge. are all old foxes who have been mixed up in officialdom for decades, will Chu Hui let their father and son succeed?

Gao Shang Shu is unlikely.

"My son has a plan. Father just needs to prepare the dowry and go to the next day. ”

Gao Shiqing shook the paper fan leisurely, he was full of confidence in marrying Chu Yu......

Xie Jia pretended to drink with his friends outside for a long time, and when he returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, the first thing he did was to ask the little guy, "How is Xie Xun over there, but are you back?" ”

"Came back early."

"Do you have any injuries?"

Pei Youan lost such a big face in Liuyun Tower, it shouldn't be light!

It's best to break the second brother's leg and hand, and he won't be able to go out of the house in the future. Although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that a disabled person cannot inherit the title, it is also a great shame for a disabled person to be the head of the Xie family. When the time comes, he will instigate some elders in the clan to force his grandfather and father to change the head of the family......

"The prince is fine, and he sent someone to ask the young master when he will invite him to Liuyun Tower."

Bang, all the beautiful fantasies in Xie Jia's mind were shattered in an instant.

He grabbed the little maid by the collar with a fierce expression, "How is it possible?" ”

How could Pei Youan let Xie Xun go?

"Are you lying to Master Ben?"

The little guy was picked up by Xie Jia and thrown to the ground again, feeling miserable.

The prince entered the house step by step, teasing the maid and teasing the birds, anyone with eyes can see that the prince is in good health, and even in a good mood, but the young master doesn't believe it.

"Big brother, I heard you're back."

Xie Xun's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Xie Jia quickly restrained his expression and went out with a smirk.

"Why is the second brother here?"

Outside the door, Xie Xun shook his fan a little irritably, "It's hot, I'm panicked, and if I don't visit the flower building for a day, it's uncomfortable." Big brother, didn't you say that when I come back, you will invite me to Liuyun Tower, let's go. ”

Xie Jia secretly scolded people to death.

You can't fucking spend a lot of monthly meals, but I'm a poor bastard, how can I have the money to invite you to drink flower wine!

"Big brother just came back from a stomach of wine, and I really can't drink it anymore. Another day, the eldest brother will definitely invite you to go to the flower building to have enough. ”

Xie Jia thought for a moment, "Second brother, if you are really uncomfortable, why don't you go to the woman of the good family you said and try the medicine that the eldest brother gave you?" It's not interesting to play with Hualou's fans, and occasionally change the taste, so as not to get tired. ”

Go find the woman of the good family, it's better to get someone's life and ask someone to arrest and take her to the prison of the Criminal Department!

Xie Jia thought evilly......
