Jiang Chao couldn't sleep at night during this period and was exhausted. He naturally lost the insight of seeing six directions and listening to all directions before. Besides, he just discovered a way that might save him. It is inevitable that he was a little excited, so he didn't notice it. Master Wu showed his cautiousness and temptation when he asked him.

"No, no, no." He said excitedly, "Boss Wang will have an accident, isn't it just because of the officials' protection? Sometimes doing business is like this. Not being an official asylum will cause a lot of trouble. I knew Lin'an City Xiaomei before. Xiang Pei’s family, but they only know that their family is a four-skilled scholar, but they don’t know much about it. Until last year, the Song family’s boat was detained in Huai’an. You should know our Song family in Suzhou House, right? Their family is also Several generations of officials and officials are the most prominent giants in our Suzhou Mansion. Think about it, these people’s boats have been detained in Huai'an, it must be because the crime is relatively big, maybe it is still a big thing. Their family I asked for your Pei family in Lin'an City. I was surprised to hear it for a long time. I know that the four major surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, you have three families in Hangzhou, but there is no Pei family among these four major surnames, and I don’t care about it on weekdays. Come on. Later, after the Song family's affairs were resolved, I carefully inquired about the Pei family. I didn't expect that almost every Pei family has people who have been in official positions for generations, and their reputation is not obvious, which is amazing."

Is there someone who has been an official from generation to generation?

Neither Yu Wen nor Master Wu noticed.

Thinking about it so carefully, it seems that Pei’s family really has people serving as officials in every generation. It’s just that whether Pei’s family is an official or won a Jinshi, they rarely celebrate with great fanfare. Instead, no matter which room has a new house, they will set up a water table. .

Four Scholars? !

In their memory, the three brothers of the Pei family were awarded Jinshi, and the old man was a Juren, and the Pei family should be a three Jinshi... In fact, there is also a Jinshi in the Pei family’s generation, who is an offshoot of the Pei family and the cousin of the old man. Pei Yi's son called Pei Wang. However, Pei Yi ignored the matter and seemed to rely on the money from Pei’s father-in-law. Pei Wang soon went to Henan to become an official after being awarded a Jinshi. Because he was separated from the house, Pei Wang did not come back when Pei’s father died. At the funeral of the old man, Pei Yi didn't say a word from beginning to end. When Pei Yan took over Pei's house, he didn't even exist, so that the people in Lin'an didn't have any impression of their house.

Master Wu and Yu Wen couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

One of them is from Lin'an, but he needs a reminder from Suzhou to think of it.

But they are locals after all.

Yu Wen couldn't help saying: "Pei Wang, I remember a few years older than the Pei family's elder, and a few years earlier than the Pei family's elder, who was a Jinshi, and has been an official outside since then. I don't know what rank he is now? Where did he serve as an official? But I remember clearly that he had a son. He was only half a year older than our girl. When his son was born, he sprinkled money in the alleys of Xiaomei Alley, and I happened to accompany Zhuo Jing that day. When the shop next to Meixi River bought needles and thread, Zhuo Jing still sighed, saying that the child would be reborn, and when he arrived at Pei's house, he touched his stomach and said that he did not know whether he was pregnant with a girl or a kid."

Jiang Chao's eyes lit up and said, "The Pei master of the Pei family is now the prefect of Baoding Prefecture."

Master Wu and Yu Wen were taken aback.

Although Baoding prefecture is only a four-rank prefect, Baoding prefecture has a special geographical location, and it is the only place to pass from north to south to Beijing. Among the officials released outside, the prefect of Baoding is the closest to the capital, and it is also the easiest prefect to be promoted to the capital.

Although there is a saying in the DPRK that it is not a concubine who does not enter the cabinet, if anyone can break this claim, he must be a person who can be the prefect of Baoding.

Not only did Lin'an City have no news about this master Pei, but everywhere he was praising Li Yi, who was originally the prefect of the Li family in Rizhao.

Yu Wen looked slightly solemn, and said: "If I remember correctly, Master Pei Yipei seemed to have been a prefect before. Later, I heard that he was not adapted to the climate of the area under his jurisdiction. He suffered a serious illness and almost died. That is why he returned to his hometown. He’s recuperating. And since then he hasn’t moved much outside. Even Qiantang Academy asked him to be a mountain leader. He flatly refused. I was young at the time, and I had just passed the county exam, and I hadn’t earned the reputation of being a scholar. I have also discussed with classmates that if Master Pei Yipei can go to Qiantang Academy to be the head of the mountain, wouldn’t it be more convenient for us scholars in Lin'an to enter the academy? After he rejected the position of the head of the mountain, everyone has guessed. Is he ill in bed, he will die soon."

Unexpectedly, he would live longer than Grandpa Pei!

No, they really don't know whether this old lady of the Pei family is dead or alive.

Yu Wen glanced at Master Wu.

Master Wu obviously wanted to go with Yu Wen. He hurriedly said: "Still! I saw him at the funeral when the old man of Pei's family went there. Seeing that his hair was all white, he was still in good spirits, and he walked pretty well without a cane."

Jiang Chao said, "Their family is too low-key. I didn't even think of their family for a while."

Master Wu and Yu Wen thought about it at this time, and suddenly became in awe of the Pei family.

The Pei family is a real family, not to mention the benefits of the hometown, and it is humble, low-key and self-cultivating. It is indeed not comparable to the idlers.

Well, isn't it good for them to disturb others like this?

Master Wu and Yu Wen exchanged another look.

This time it was Yu Wen who spoke first: "Several masters of the Pei family are still filial piety, we ask the Pei family for help for these matters..."

Jiang Chao was drenched in cold water like the cold winter of March 9th, and he wilted in an instant, and said, "I also know that their family and the Song family are still related by marriage. I was looking for someone to buy shares in Suzhou City. Taking away their business. How could the Pei family help us?"

Are the Pei's and Song's relatives by marriage?

In Master Wu's impression, the two families don't seem to have very close contacts.

He curiously said: "What kind of in-laws are the Pei family and the Song family?"

Yu Wen said: "The Lao An from the Pei family and the Lao An from the Song family are cousins."

Master Wu and Jiang Chao looked at him with piercing eyes.

Yu Wen was surprised that Lin'an City knew that the Pei family and the Song family were not too many by marriage.

Did he accidentally cause trouble?

Yu Wen smiled bitterly in secret, and said hurriedly: "I also listened to others, I don't know if it is true or not."

Jiang Chao said: "It's true! I have a good relationship with a manager of the Song family, he told me."

He also knows that although Laoan from the Song family and Laoan from the Pei family are cousins, they are nearly twenty years apart. When Lao An from the Song family came out of the cabinet, Lao An from the Pei family was still not born, and the two were not deeply emotional. Later, something seemed to have happened. There was a gap between the two families. In the early years, it was only a matter of face. Later, Pei Lao'an's three sons were successively selected as Jinshi, but only one of the sons of the Song family was an official outside. The Song family bowed their heads and flattered, and the two gradually began to contact each other.

Even so, something happened to the Song family, and the Pei family took out both the people and the boat.

"There is someone in the court who can do things well!" He sighed long.

Neither Master Wu nor Yu Wen answered the conversation.

Jiang Chao felt that the attitude of the two was a little bit shy.

He secretly smiled bitterly.

Having owed so much money to the two of them, they neither forced him for debts, but also saved his mother, and now they still take him in, who has nowhere to go. He already owes two great favors, and then forced them The person who introduced the Pei family was his fault.

He could think of other ways.

Jiang Chao thought, changed the subject, and asked about the origin of Zhaoming Temple.

Master Wu and Yu Wen all smiled together.

Regardless of what they thought, the three people spent a day in Zhaoming Temple talking and laughing all the way. When they came down the mountain, the three had already begun to call themselves brothers.

When he returned to Yu’s house, Jiang Chao tiredly went back to the guest room to rest, but Master Wu took advantage of Yu Wen’s time to take him out to tell him something at the door: "Brother Yu, tell me the truth, how did you know Pei? The family and the Song family are related by marriage? I am considered a personal thing in Lin'an city, but I have never heard of it."

Yu Wen hesitated.

Master Wu immediately said: "Don't fool me with the set of fooling brother Jiang, I am not his kind of little hairy who knows nothing."

Yu Wen touched his head, not knowing how to say it.

Master Wu simply said: "I won't force you anymore. You just tell me, what's your relationship with the third master of the Pei family? If you ask the third master for the Wang family, will he see us?"

Yu Wen was relieved and told the truth: "I really don't know! The third master, looking young, is actually very temperamental. I have never troubled him like this."

He felt that the Pei family could also profit from the auction of maps, so he dared to ask for it.

But if the Pei family intervened in this matter, it was purely a help.

He doesn't know if he has this face.

"Do you want to help Brother Jiang lead this line?" Yu Wen said, "Businessmen value profits rather than parting..."

Master Wu shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "This is also a win-win thing! I think we won't get our money back in all likelihood, but you know Brother Jiang, he can speak well, and he is especially easy to impress. Introduce him to Master Pei San, maybe Liu Anhua will be another village, he can stand up again with the power of the Pei family!"

After all, I still want to make Jiang Chao earn back the money I invested.

If this matter only involved himself, Yu Wen would definitely not agree, but he caused Master Wu to lose a large amount of silver. Master Wu begged him again, and he had to consider whether this matter was feasible.

"Or, let me try?" Yu Wen hesitated, "I don't know if Master Pei San will agree?"

If you can try, you have a chance.

Master Wu was overjoyed and said: "If the third master of the other family can take over the Pei family, and make everyone in the Pei family silent, then it is not a face person! Even if it is a face person, that is a person who hides a knife in a smile. Don't think I am. For those few dollars, I mainly want to move around with the third master."

If you have nothing to do, you have to find something, not to mention that something is really happening now.

Yu Wen could understand his feelings and nodded constantly.

Master Wu urged him: "Don't tell Brother Jiang about this first, and Master Third will tell him if he wants to see us." After that, he winked at Yu Wen.

Yu Wen thought he was afraid of losing face. In fact, Master Wu wanted to mislead Jiang Chao and make Jiang Chao feel that they had a good relationship with Pei Yan, so that Jiang Chao could find a way to earn back the money they invested.
