Delicate Flower

Chapter 86: Years ago

This is for the two to fight first!

Pei Man understood, smiled and responded, turning to the place where A Ming had read before, and was going to continue reading the gift list to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan raised his hand and made a "no need" gesture, and said, "This is the gift list from the Wu family. You can take it and prepare a response. Then check if there is anything interesting in the gift. s things."

Pei Man knew his hobbies, so he respectfully responded and stepped back.

Pei Yan was a little boring. He took the door beast ring and went to his second brother to talk about the New Year. He went to greet his mother, thought about it, and turned and went to the study in the outer courtyard.

The place where the Yu family’s father and daughter had been received before, at this time, except for Pei Yan’s study, all the rooms were brightly lit. The tents, stewards, clerks, and servants were all very busy, although everyone lowered their voices and talked. But it was still noisier than the place nearby, and the oncoming heat made Pei Yan frowned in disgust.

"Master three!" When the crowd heard the movement, they saw Pei Yan coming in and stepped forward to salute.

Pei Yan nodded, his eyes fell on Pei Man's body.

Pei hurriedly said: "The gift list from the Wu family has already been copied, and our stewards are discussing about preparing to return the gift." At this point, he paused and said, "You can't come now, I'm also going to wait. I will see you--the items from the Wu family are a bit expensive. I let the accountant do the calculations. At least it is worth ten thousand taels. Of these, more than seven thousand taels are for you."

Obviously there is demand.

But the other people in the Pei Mansion didn't know the reason, and they all looked at Pei Yan with admiration, as if they had only known this person.

Pei Yan curled the corners of his lips, rubbing his hands on the frosted ring of the door beast ring, thinking that the Yu family would give him 70% of the benefits.

How surprised is the father and daughter if he knows that he has received so many gifts in just two days?

"Then accept it." Since Pei Yan turned his face with his second brother, he hasn't treated the people and things around the second brother very much, "I won't accept it, people's heart is not at ease!"

Pei Man smiled and said yes. At this time, a small servant ran in again, panting and saying: "Master three, Master Deng Xuesong, the master of study, is here to visit."

Pei Yan was very surprised.

It was getting late at this time. Although he and Deng Xuesong were in the same school, Deng Xuesong was born in a poor family and had an arrogant personality. The relationship between the two was very normal. It is reasonable that Deng Xuesong would not visit him at this time.

Is it related to the map?

Pei Yan touched his chin and went to the Nuan Pavilion where he met the guests.

Deng Xuesong was in his forties, tall and thin, with a goatee, half-closed eyes and sitting on the chair of the imperial master, allowing Hu Xing to surround him with courtesy, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Seeing Pei Yan, he nodded arrogantly towards Pei Yan.

Deng Xuesong didn't like Pei Yan very much either. He felt that Pei Yan was talented but self-willed, and he disagreed with the talent that many people couldn't ask for. But the two are the same door, he just won't wait to see Pei Yan again, nor can he tear each other down. Fortunately, he helped Pei Yan once last time, which gave him more confidence.

After the two exchanged greetings, Deng Xuesong directly explained his intentions: "I heard that the great master of the Huzhou Wu Family is here with you? Do you know what the Huzhou Wu Family did first?"

Pei Yan let out a "tsk" in her heart, feeling that it didn't take much to be sure that Deng Xuesong was also here for that map. I just don't know who he is trying to help? Being able to bludgeon Jianghua's in-laws so bluntly, it can be seen that it is not the idlers who asked him to come forward. But why didn't they come forward directly to find him and find Deng Xuesong as the middleman?

Pei Yan pretended not to know, and smiled: "Whether the Wu family is my second brother's in-laws, how could I not know?"

Pei Yan's heart moved as soon as he said the words.

Zhou Zijin has heard that he and his second brother have fallen out, don't these people think the same way, do they?

This is kind of fun!

Pei Yan thought, and pushed the fruit plate on his hand towards Deng Xuesong, and said, "Try it, Tao Ziran asked me to bring me from Guangzhou. I tasted it, and it really deserves its reputation."

Tao An’s character is Ziran, and Deng Xuesong was his subordinate when the Ministry of Industry was in charge.

Deng Xuesong's expression was slightly stiff as he heard it, obviously he already knew what the Tao family had done.

Pei Yan smiled, took a fortune cake and handed it to Deng Xuesong: "Eat cake, eat cake!"

Deng Xuesong reluctantly ate a piece of cake and praised it for a few words. After thinking about it, he felt that he was better than Pei Yan and Tao An to talk about, and simply said: "Then I won't go around in circles. The Quanzhou Indian family is kind to me, let me I'll be an intermediary for them, and please come to see you."

Quanzhou Yinjia, Fuzhou Pengjia and Longyan Lijia are known as the three major tribes in Fujian. The Quanzhou Indian family started as a tea maker, but they were overwhelmed by the Longyan Li family and changed to shipping. Except for the Peng family, most of the fleet in Fujian today are owned by the Indian family. The Yin family is not as single-minded as the Li family, or as powerful and powerful as the Peng family, but their family also has its own advantages. For so many years, the Yin family has been committed to ethics and helped many scholars. In the three families, it is the news of their family. The most knowledgeable, the most flexible and the most flexible.

Before Pei Yan hesitated whether to hook the Yin family over.

It's all right now. Without him, the Yin family jumped out on their own.

Pei Yan didn't play Tai Chi with Deng Xuesong anymore, and said bluntly: "We are not outsiders, so I will have something to say. If something is wrong, you will have to give me some advice at that time. The map is not for the time being. Knowing whether it is true or not, I didn't say anything. However, I happened to have something to trouble the Indian family. If this happens, I will count them in the map anyway."

Deng Xuesong listened to a heartbeat, and said, "Count it?"

Pei Yan smiled and said, "You don't think such a big thing, only our family can eat it?"

Deng Xuesong is a person who reads only sages and sage books. He neither likes nor cares about business matters. He blushed when he heard that, and said, "You also said that we are not outsiders. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Pei Yan was not polite, and said, "I have something to ask the Yin family for help. You can ask their family to come to someone who can speak for themselves."

Deng Xuesong knew that it was not easy to get Pei Yan to ask for each other and use the sea business as a bait.

He did everything he could, and then he didn't want to wade into the muddy water.

"Okay! That's OK." He stood up straightforwardly and said, "It's not too early today. I have to rush back to Hangzhou city overnight. Don't leave me. You will be assessed at the end of the year. No, I can’t delay serious errands."

Pei Yan didn't force him to stay, and personally sent Deng Xuesong out. He mentioned Yu Wen's story on the way: "Although I'm just a talented person, I don't have the Sui Kao with you, so please say hello anyway. If you can take care of it, take care of it."

Scholars must be assessed every year. If they fail the assessment, they may be dismissed from their reputation.

Deng Xuesong didn't ask much. Anyway, this favor was taken by Pei Yan. He said, "Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter. I will let someone send you a letter at that time."

Pei Yan thought that this could be regarded as a thank-you gift for that door beast ring. Seeing Deng Xuesong's sedan chair heading out of Xiaomei Alley in the cold wind, Pei Yan went to the outer study room where he handled general affairs.

Everywhere is still so busy, but a few stewards gathered in front of the book case where he lost a door beast ring to press the account book, and talked about the door beast ring: "I didn't expect the third master to have one. I knew this, or I would The one in the shop can send it over, or ask the third master for the past, and make a pair, it’s worth the money."

Pei Yan wondered: "Where is there a door beast ring?"

The manager smiled and said, "It's in the antique shop, there is a door beast ring exactly like this one, but it was sold a few days ago, and it's too late to regret it."

Pei Yan looked a little weird when she heard it, and said: "When was it sold? How much silver did it sell?"

The steward smiled and said, "It's been the past few days. You know, this thing was originally not very valuable, and it is a single item, so it is even less valuable. We sold two taels of silver. If you knew you had one here, at least It can also be sold for a hundred taels of silver."

"Oh!" Pei Yan replied blankly and said, "Then you guys are busy, I'll go back and rest!"

After all, some of the stewards acted by watching him wink, and they were very good at seeing and looking at each other, and immediately realized that he was very upset.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what made him unhappy.

They exchanged eyes with each other, not knowing what to say.

After finally waiting for Pei Yan to leave, Pei Man couldn't help but slapped one of them, and said, "Why don't you go to work? Do you want to stay up for days and nights?"

The talking steward hugged his head in exclamation, and hurriedly put down the door beast ring to check the account.

Pei Man looked at the glistening door beast ring, feeling like a hot potato, and didn't know what to do.

But you can't just leave it here like this!

After thinking and thinking, he beckoned to A Ming to come over, quietly telling him: "You find a chance to quietly put it on the third master's bookshelf."

When did the third master go to the book to find out, that is fate. If you haven't found it, you won't lose it.

A Ming went and set the door beast ring as instructed.

The people of the Yin family rushed to Lin'an City at noon the next day.

He is the patriarch of the Yin family and the next master of the Yin family.

Before coming, their family had inquired about Pei Yan carefully and knew that this was the first Spring Festival when Pei Yan took over the Sovereign of the Pei family. So they thought of going with the Wu family and thought that Pei Yan would definitely stand up for their power. , Drove a nearly ten-carriage thing to pay homage to Pei Yan.

That day, Yu Tang happened to accompany her mother to send a New Year gift to Mrs. Matthew's house. He sat in the sedan chair and lifted the sedan chair to take a clear look. After returning home, the Chen family also said to Yu Wen: "No wonder Mrs. Pei is going to pass the position of the suzerain to the third master. This year's festival ceremony is a hundred times more lively than in previous years. Will the Pei family be more and more prosperous in the future? Do you think the Pei family will be more and more prosperous? Move to Hangzhou City."

I threw the pot out, his wife’s illness was treated by a famous doctor, and my daughter became more and more obedient. I can take care of everything at home. I don’t know how comfortable Yu Wen’s life was, and he began to live in the study again. In the days when you carved seals and read free books. He wondered that when Kaichun Yuyuan became a relative, Yu Tang's marriage could be settled. He had to sculpt a seal for his daughter. In the future, the daughter's housekeeper could use the seal to pay the silver or collect the bill.

"No!" He looked at the seal, and said casually, "If the Pei family wanted to move, they would have moved. Besides, Hangzhou City is not so easy to take root."

The couple were chatting slowly, but Yu Tang was a little worried.

Look at this, the auction will be delayed until the end of the year.

I don’t know if these people who come to give the New Year gifts have anything to do with the map auction?

She sighed softly.
