Pei Yan and Shen Shanyan were relatively speechless in the study of Pei's farming garden.

After a long while, Shen Shanyan sighed for a long time, and said: "I am too self-righteous. By the way, we are quite alike, we are all kind of brainless people. I don't even care about my own family affairs. I'm clear, I'm still here to persuade you. Xiaoguang, it's up to your second brother's face, don't worry about me like that!"

Pei Yan's face was slightly stunned, and said: "Mr. Shen can think clearly. It's not that I don't want to take care of the things in the capital-making meritorious deeds, who doesn't want it? But there are some things that I didn't want to do. Since I have done the Pei family Sovereign, naturally, you must be responsible to the Pei family. I can’t pull the whole family down because of my own preferences. You know this best. Otherwise, you wouldn’t choose to come to Lin’an.”

Shen Shanyan nodded, looked a little dazed, and whispered: "You dad... have vision, strategy, and courage. I used to look down on him... I always thought that Mr. Yi was the most wise in your family. Now it seems that the most It is your father who is wise...This is also the blessing of your Pei family!"

"Blessing!" Pei Yan murmured, his eyes suddenly moistened, his throat seemed to be blocked, and there was no sound.

It was the appearance of A Ming that broke the tranquility of the study: "The third master, the young master and the young lady of the Yu family are here to visit you!"

Pei Yan didn't want to see guests now, but he also knew why Yu Tang and Yu Yuan came to him at this time.

He pulls the bow, he can't just let it go!

"Invite them in!" Pei Yan said, but there was no way to immediately reduce the sadness in his heart.

It was Shen Shanyan who heard the words and said strangely: "Yu family's young boss and young lady? Aren't they the Yu Huili's nephew and girl?"

"Yes!" Pei Yan felt tired and didn't want to say more than a word.

Upon seeing this, Shen Shanyan wondered whether he should avoid it, and A Ming had walked in with Yu Yuan and Yu Tang.

The elder brother and sister have big white eyes, beautiful and delicate eyebrows, one is dressed in a beautiful blue plain silk hanger, and the other wore a water-green plain hanger silk jacket. The gestures are generous and easy to produce. Good impression.

"Mr. Shen is here too!" After the two saluted Pei Yan, they greeted Shen Shanyan again.

Shen Shanyan nodded slightly. It was a little strange that the two of them came to Pei Yan to do. Seeing that Pei Yan didn't want him to evade, they continued to sit there without moving.

Yu Yuan showed several boxes to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan was initially unhappy, but at this time, seeing that he was poignant, Yu Yuan still did not meet his requirements, so he was a bit angry with Yu Yuan, and said stiffly: "These things can't be done. Paint is also That’s it. Good paint and bad paint account for a large part. Even if your family wants to put in some better paint, I’m afraid I can’t find a way. But what about this carving skill? I told you several times before, but you Looking at the object you brought, it is just a bit stronger than before. If you only have this level, you will definitely not be able to make it."

Yu Yuan turned pale, as if he had been stabbed.

Yu Tang couldn't bear it.

She clearly saw these problems, but didn't point them out in time, hoping that Pei Yan could give Yu Yuan some guidance. Unexpectedly, Pei Yan spoke so sharply, and a few words made her brother in the lobby lose all the momentum.

Yu Tang hurriedly remedially said: "Hearing is fictitious, seeing is believing. Anyway, we still have too little knowledge. Third master, I wonder if you can find a way to help us find a way to come over, let us see Broaden your horizons."

Pei Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that Yu Tang's words made sense.

However, Yushang's things are not so easy to find, but Pei Yan happened to have them.

He said: "Then you just wait for a while. I'll send someone to get a round box for ink ingots. I got it accidentally before, so I can take it back for you to have a look."

Pei Yan is doing business for the Yu family? Isn't Pei Yan the most impatient of these general affairs? When did the Yu family like Pei Yan so much?

Shen Shanyan was a little dumbfounded.

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan unexpectedly.

I don’t know why, Pei Yan looks no different from usual, but Yu Tang faintly feels that Pei Yan is very unhappy, and it seems that there is a resentment stuck in his chest, which will make Pei Yan more and more irritable. .

But Mr. Shen was here, Yu Tang didn't ask much, and Yu Yuan was about to get up to say goodbye when he got the red-lacquered small round box of tangled flowers.

Pei Yan looked at the worry between Yu Tang's eyebrows and hesitated in her heart.

Miss Yu has always had preferential treatment with him, either by him staying for a cup of tea, or having a snack or something. This time she followed Yu Yuan into the mansion, but when he met him in a bad mood, she didn't even have a good face. Give it to her and drove her away.

I don't know if this little girl will think more about it after she goes back.

Even crying nose...

After thinking about it, Pei Yan called to Yu Tang, who was walking outside, and said, "I have taken the time to draw a few patterns here. You can take them back and have a look at them. I'll send someone a few more in a few days."

Because Pei Yan often changed her mind, Yu Tang didn't think too much. Seeing that Pei Yan's face seemed to be better, she raised her mouth and smiled lightly, thinking that Shen Shanyan was present, and bowed her knees to give him a blessing. , And then went forward to pick up the sketches Pei Yan found on the book case, bowed his head and left.

Seeing her laugh, Pei Yan felt a little peaceful in her heart, thinking that the little girl would always be a little sad when she didn't laugh, but she looked pretty when she laughed, like a spring blooming flower, quite a blushing feeling.

No wonder that Li Jun lost his soul when he saw her.

However, the current Li family estimates that it is difficult to protect themselves, and life is about to start to be difficult.

He secretly gave a smirk.

Thinking of Miss Yu's careful eye again.

Not only did he want the Li family to lose a good relationship, but he also used his hand to uproot the Li family, even Miss Gu.

Thinking of this, Pei Yan rubbed his temples.

He thought of everything he could think of, and he also prevented everything he could. I hope Miss Yu will not have a chance to provoke some monster moths on the Buddha's Bathing Festival to let him clean up the mess!

Pei Yan sighed softly, turned around and talked to Shen Shanyan about the situation in Beijing: "Who has the Metropolitan Government sent to serve as the Imperial History? Is it really just to check the accounts of Gaoyou Riverway?"

Shen Shanyan didn't say a word, his expression was obviously a little shocked.

Pei Yan was surprised, not knowing what was wrong with him, and asked again.

Shen Shanyan gave a "Oh", then recovered, and said: "It is still undecided who will be sent. The rumor in Beijing is directed at the river channel of Gaoyou, but the people who are sent out are from Zhejiang Dao. I can’t tell. I can only wait for someone to arrive and see if they are resting in Suzhou or Hangzhou."

Pei Yan did not speak.

Shen Shanyan has Shen Shanyan's way, he has his way.

If someone from the Superintendent of Rites came over this time, I am afraid it would be more than just a corruption case.

He didn't speak, but Shen Shanyan couldn't help it. He said, "You...what's the matter? How do you manage the small lacquer shop of the Yu family? It is Yu Huili, but it is only because the brotherhood will be in his brother. Check it out when you’re not at home..."

Pei Yan did everything by himself, doing the things of the great treasurer.

This is not the Pei Xiaguang he knew!

Pei Yan was a little unhappy after hearing his instincts, and said: "The lacquer shop is also very interesting. I recently got several pieces of red lacquer, and I want to see how it is done."

Shen Shanyan was a little skeptical.

Although there are many aristocratic children like Pei Yan who like some miscellaneous things, they are proud of being able to understand the astrology, maps and arithmetic, and even write books, but after all, they are not righteous, and Pei Yan is not like this kind of person.

But he hadn't had time to think about it, because Pei Yan had already said: "If someone from the Li Supervisor comes out of Beijing, who will he send?"

Shen Shanyan's heart was startled, how could he care about these details, and hurriedly said: "You heard that there will be a supervisor of the ceremonies accompanying him?"

Pei Yan nodded, surprised herself.

When talking about the Yu family, just talk about the Yu family. Why did he tell Shen Shanyan this news?

He was originally going to use this to make his hole cards!

Pei Yan frowned.

After Yu Tang and Yu Yuan left the Pei Mansion, Yu Tang kept guessing why Pei Yan was upset.

She felt that Pei Yan's emotions must be related to Shen Shanyan.

It was not the first time she met Shen Shanyan to visit Pei Yan.

Shen Shanyan, a literati who avoided living in Lin'an, apart from Mrs. Shen's last time, what else could make him entangled with Pei Yan?

Yu Tang tilted his head and thought for a long time.

Yu Yuan was holding the small round box in his hand, as if holding a cornucopia, with a worried expression on his face and a joyful expression for a while, making Yu Tang worried and wondering if Yu Yuan would be too happy. It's crazy all of a sudden.

Yu Tang also tried to ask Yu Yuan: "Has my nephew's name been finalized?"

In line with the saying that it is easy to feed on a base name, Yu Yuan's eldest son called Dabao.

According to her elder mother, if there is another one, it will be called Erbao, and the following will be called Sanbao, Sibao...

Yu Yuan immediately looked back at her vigilantly, and said, "Does the second uncle think of any nice names?"

Yu Wen said before that he wanted Dabao to call him Shunyi based on his seniority, birth date, and five elements.

Everyone thinks this name is like the name of a servant, but Yu Wen is the most knowledgeable in the family, and he is afraid that this name is indeed good for Dabao's luck, even Yu Bo, and he did not immediately refute it.

Yu Tang believes that his brother's mind is okay.

The two returned to the shop. Xia Pinggui waited eagerly for them to come back. He heard that the small red-painted round box that Yu Yuan was holding was a sample for them by Pei Yan. He immediately came over tremblingly. She didn't dare to touch it, so she looked at the small round box carved with bamboo leaves with Yu Yuan's hand.

Yu Tang didn't understand this, and was worried about Pei Yan's emotions just now. After listening to Xia Pinggui and Yu Yuan muttering for half an hour, she became a little impatient. She said, "Brother, should I go back first? Wait for you to see. Something is coming, I'll go to Pei Mansion with you again."

Yu Yuan saw that Yu Tang was a little weak, and felt distressed that she ran with her, and immediately said: "Then you go back first! Rest well. It's tomorrow to go to Pei Mansion.

Yu Tang took Shuangtao and left.

And because there were several men looking at the lacquerware on the front shop, she and Shuangtao walked to the back door.

Never thought that she and Shuang Tao had just stepped over the high bluestone threshold of the back door and saw Pei Yan's carriage.
