"Ah!" Yu Tang showed joy, "Really? Our peanut cake was sent to the backyard?"
That is to say, not only did Pei Yan find it delicious, but also let everyone in the family taste it.
Yu Wen nodded, smiling at the corners of his eyes and brows, and said: "Ah Shao is a clever ghost, and even made a special trip to inquire. It is said that since Master Pei San took charge of the house, this is the first time he has delivered food to the backyard."
Yu Tang said: "Does that mean we can add peanut cakes to Pei's house in the future?"
In this way, you can save some headaches.
It is really difficult to send things to Pei's house with both novelty and sincerity.
"En!" Yu Wen was also very happy, and said, "This is really better than blue. I know that your mother's dim sum is good. I didn't expect you to follow your mother and make dim sum so well. "
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, not going to explain the origin of the peanut cake to his father.
Just let him misunderstand that her mother taught her.
Yu Wen sighed: "Your mother's health is getting better and better, and our family is getting more and more decent."
Yu Tang answered "yes" with a smile, took Jiang Chao's gift list again, and said, "Our two families are different. Our female family has received many favors from the Pei family, and we have taken a good way to be a good family. Master Jiang has something to ask for. The Pei family is following the path recommended by the virtuous, so the gifts they give must be very different. If you ask me to advise Mr. Jiang, maybe a good thing will turn into a bad thing! I think it’s up to Mr. Jiang to decide what to give. Good. However, I see that this gift list is comprehensive, even if I were to draw it up, I couldn't come up with a better gift list than this."
From Yu Wen's point of view, there was nothing wrong with this gift list, but it was Jiang Chao's request. He was afraid that there might be some negligence, so he brought it to Yu Tang for a look.
"Then I'll just tell him that." Yu Wen took the gift list and went to Jiang Chao's place.
Jiang Chao listened, thanked Yu Wen with a smile, but thought in his heart, it turned out that Yu's family had a good relationship with Pei's family, no wonder he wanted to give away small things like food. It can be seen that the friendship between the Yu family and the Pei family is not ordinary, otherwise they would not have thought, and it would be impossible to think of a good way to get along with the Pei family.
He couldn't help but be thankful that at the beginning he thought Yu Wen was a scholar, he didn't value money as much as Mr. Wu, so he chose the Yu family instead of the Wu family...
But when he really saw Pei Yan, it was already the end of August.
He waited for Pei Yan for almost half a month.
When Pei Yan saw him, his expression was still a little tired. It could be seen that Pei Yan said that he would see him as soon as he came back, so he met him immediately.
Jiang Chao took another high look at the Yu family.
Pei Yan likes to get straight to the point when speaking, not to mention that Jiang Chao is not enough to make him tactful.
After Jiang Chao saluted Pei Yan, the two sat down as host and guest, and Pei Yan immediately said: "I heard that you want to see me, but for the case of the Wang family in Ningbo Mansion? I have already sent someone to inquire about this case. The Wang family The son did commit a crime, and he was not wronged. Although the people don’t raise the official, the case has already been transferred to Dali Temple, and it may not be easy to overturn the case. If you come to me, I don’t have much to do.”
Jiang Chao smiled wryly in his heart after hearing this.
I'm afraid it's not impossible, but Jiang Chao isn't worth the Pei family's effort to help reverse the case, right
But he has received far more stares than others imagined in his life, and Pei Yan's neglect is not worth mentioning to him.
He respectfully said: "I have inquired about Boss Wang's case carefully, and I know that the fault lies with the Wang family, so I dare not ask Mr. Pei to help me with the wrong thing. I came to see Mr. Pei because I have other matters to ask. "
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Jiang Chao more seriously.
To be honest, he really went to inquire about the case of the Wang family in Ningbo Mansion. The prefect of Ningbo knew that this matter was related to their Pei family, so he smiled wryly at that time, saying that he had no choice but to go to Dali Temple to overturn the case, but if Pei Yan could bring If the case comes back for retrial, he is still willing to retrial.
Pei Yan felt that it would not be difficult to call back for a retrial. The important thing was that the Wang family was also at fault.
He was not happy to ask him to help the Wang family reverse the case.
He even thought that at worst, he would privately supply the six thousand taels of silver to the Yu family.
It's just that the matter in the Hangzhou Mansion held him back, preventing him from doing it in time.
I never thought that Jiang Chao was really capable.
No matter what he wants to do next, at least such rhetoric has attracted his attention, and he is a good talent.
Right now, he is short of people.
Seeing that there was no mistake in the beginning, Jiang Chao calmed down a little, and continued to smile and said, "The third master must know about my maritime business. The reason why I dare to do this business is firstly that my family has been running ships for generations; secondly, it is me who I have been doing business in Ningbo Prefecture for many years, and I know a lot about sea business. I even went to Sulu once, and I know a lot about the route, the pier, and even when it will encounter sea breeze. Clearly."
Pei Yan already guessed what he was going to say.
He couldn't help sitting upright.
It's interesting.
This Jiang Chao, who has lost a lot of money, can still come to him without being humble and humiliating.
It's a talent!
No wonder Yu Wen and Master Wu were immediately moved by him just after seeing him, and they were willing to continue helping him even when he lost all his money, not to mention the money.
Pei Yan leaned slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said, "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Chao gritted his teeth and said, "I think Mr. Pei San will support me to do a sea business. This season is when the sea is the calmest. If it drags on, it will have to wait until next year. Since you know about Ningbo Mansion , I must also know that Boss Wang is not unwilling to do this business, because our capital is too small to withstand the toss. But you are different! Not only are you in charge of the Pei family, you also have a large amount of private property under your name. Even if you don’t In the name of the Pei family, on your own, you can also do business at sea."
He even found out that he had private property under his own name.
Pei Yan smiled and said, "Then do you know that our Pei family and the Song family are related by marriage. Why should I help you?"
Yu Wen was also very curious. While refilling Jiang Chao's tea, he asked Jiang Chao: "How did you answer that time? How did you know that the Song family and the Pei family were at odds?"
At this time Jiang Chao has returned from Pei Mansion.
His vest was full of sweat, and his wet clothes were very uncomfortable.
But as soon as he entered the door, he was dragged to the study room by Yu Wen who had been waiting in the courtyard for questioning. Before he had time to change his clothes, he could only bear with it and said, "Brother Yu knows that the Pei family and the Song family are in-laws, but he doesn't know what is the difference between the two families. ?”
Yu Wen really didn't know.
He hesitated for a long while without saying anything.
Jiang Chao couldn't help doubting the relationship between Yu's family and Pei's family. He was thinking about whether he should tell Yu Wen when he saw Shuangtao coming in to serve tea. His heart moved and he observed Shuangtao's movements.
After Shuangtao served the tea, she put away the tea tray, and quietly stood behind the floor-to-ceiling curtain. Those who didn't pay attention would not even notice that she was in the room.
Jiang Chao understood that Miss Yu's family asked Shuangtao to inquire about the news.
His heart moved, and he said: "Brother Yu is from Lin'an, I thought you all knew about it. I didn't expect you to hear about the lawsuit between the Song family and the Pei family from me."
Yu Wen smiled embarrassingly.
Jiang Chao, on the other hand, looked like he knew everything and talked endlessly, and said: "Old An from the Song family and Lao An from the Pei family are better-married girls from their Qian family, so when the old An from the Pei family first married in Lin'an , the two families were relatively close. But at that time, four or five sons of the Song family were working as officials outside, and only one of the Pei family, Mr. Wang, was awarded a Jinshi. In comparison, the Pei family was naturally not as prominent as the Song family. In addition The Song family is in Suzhou Mansion, and the Pei family is in Lin'an. As the days go by, the Song family inevitably treats the Pei family a little neglectfully.
"It is said that the discord between the two families began when the Song family's master got married."
"The old An of the Pei family took the three masters of the Pei family to Suzhou Mansion for a wedding. Master Pei had an argument with some of Master Song's classmates over an article, and then somehow, he started fighting again. One of them was also arrested. The second master of the Pei family was beaten."
Yu Wen was dumbfounded.
Jiang Chaodao: "Originally, this was nothing serious. Everyone was seventeen or eighteen years old. They said they were beaten, but they were punched together. The adults scolded each other and passed away. But the Song family The Eldest Master is a short-term protector, and he thinks highly of himself. He took a few followers to block the Second Master Pei in the narrow passage and beat him. The Second Master Pei suffered a disadvantage, so the Third Master Pei led the guards brought by the Pei family. The courtyard smashed Mr. Song's new house.
"This is not going to end well.
"In the end, Mr. Pei Lao'an is not a vegetarian, and he is more protective than the Song family. He lost two thousand taels of silver notes to the Song family. He didn't even drink the wedding wine, and returned to Lin'an with his three sons that day. The Song family sent When someone came to argue, Mr. Pei Lao'an protected the three sons tightly, not only did not apologize, but also threatened that if the Song family did not hand over the entourage who beat him, the Song and Pei families would not have to move around."
Yu Tang stared wide-eyed, and asked Shuangtao: "Is it the Second Master Pei who beat the person, not the Third Master Pei?"
Shuangtao said: "I can hear you clearly. It is the Second Master Pei who beat people, and the Third Master Pei who smashed up the new house."
Then why do everyone say that Second Master Pei is an honest, loyal, filial and respectful person
Shuangtao continued: "The Song family and the Pei family have nothing to do with each other like this. Later, the three masters of the Pei family were all awarded Jinshi, but the Song family was getting worse day by day. When the second master of the Pei family got married, Mr. Song Lao'an came to Ann in person. Congratulate the Pei family, and this matter will be revealed."
"So Jiang Chao took advantage of this and asked Mr. Pei San?" Yu Tang murmured, "I even agreed to Jiang Chao, took out money to invest in Jiang Chao, let Jiang Chao buy a new boat, and went to Ningbo. Sulu's maritime business?"
Shuangtao: "Master Pei San hasn't agreed yet, he just said that he will think about it when the time comes."
Even if you think about it, Jiang Chao is very powerful. Pei Yan said before that he does not do maritime business. What made him change his mind
Based on what she knew about Pei Yan, he was not someone who would change his mind easily.
Yu Tang thought about Gu Chang's visit and Pei Yan's late return... Could it be that something happened to Pei's family
Yu Tang was a little worried, wondering if he should meet Pei Yan.
After all, Pei Yan helped her a lot, and she had experience in her previous life anyway, so it would be great if she could help Pei Yan.
