Tao Qing's teasing tone made Pei Yan very dissatisfied.
He treats Yu Tang as a junior, Tao Qing disrespects Yu Tang too much.
Pei Yan immediately changed his face, and said coldly: "What did Tao Juren say? Mrs. Yu is my mother's guest, how come you say that she is someone to me?"
Tao Qing watched, secretly "tsk tsk" a few times in her heart.
This is a look of embarrassment and anger!
And you said it had nothing to do with him
However, he also came here when he was young, so he understands this kind of thing.
Tao Qing hehe twice, not to continue on this topic, but thinking about it in her heart, thinking that she must send someone to inquire about the origin of Miss Yu, if it is related to Pei Yan's marriage, she must find a way to advance It's about talking.
He and Pei Yan got back to the topic: "I understand what you mean, I guess Gu Chaoyang is also planning to use this method to resolve our crisis this time. However, what do you think about the cancellation of the Quanzhou and Ningbo Shipping Departments?"
Since Tao Qing did not mention it, Pei Yan also did not mention it.
He looked solemn, and discussed with Tao Qing what he had just said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter how I look at it, what matters is whether we want to do this or not? "He said, his eyes fell on Master Song Si who was fighting with Master Wu in the hall, "This is a matter that affects the whole body. I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain afterwards! "
Tao Qing didn't take it seriously, and said: "If it can't be broken, it can't be built. Even if we don't do it, someone will do it for us."
"Then wait for those people to do it." Pei Yan lowered his head, rubbed his thumb lightly on the edge of the teacup, and said, "We can't do it first, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."
Tao Qing didn't speak for a while, and when he spoke again, it was already Wu, Song and others who had finished arguing, pulling Gu Chaoyang there and saying, "Let's find out who gave the two hundred thousand taels of silver first! Otherwise, let's talk about other things." It's all nonsense." Tao Qing was expressionless, and her voice was very low: "Then listen to you."
Without that nautical chart, he may never really understand what kind of person Pei Yan is, and there will be no subsequent cooperation.
Pei Yan also lowered his voice, and said: "Then deal with the matter in Huai'an first..." But before his words fell, Mr. Peng turned around to look at Pei Yan and Tao Qing, and said: " What are you two doing sitting there? If you have anything to say, you can say it in front of everyone, and if you have any embarrassing things, you can say it. The three cobblers are the best, and we will all help you out."
He always felt that Pei Yan and Tao Qing had already reached an offensive and defensive alliance, and they could not be allowed to act alone.
Tao Qing smiled.
He knew exactly what Mr. Peng was thinking, but on this occasion, he couldn't afford to offend the Peng family and make troubles.
"Okay!" He said frankly, "Xia Guang and I like to be quiet and not to make trouble. Seeing the excitement you guys said, we didn't go to join in the fun. The two of us were talking about Wang Qibao just now, and we were discussing going to see him It's time to give something."
Now everyone is interested.
If they could know Wang Qibao's preferences from Pei Yan, and if there was a chance to leave Pei Yan behind, they could also talk to Wang Qibao, wouldn't they
The hall became lively again.
Ah Ming found out that Yu Tang was not sick at all. Not only that, Yu Tang also played with Miss Xu for a long time.
How could he return to the third master
Ah Ming scratched her head, thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an idea, so she ran to Pei Man for help.
Pei Man was so busy that he didn't have time to take care of him, and seeing him pestering him, he said impatiently: "Of course, what did you say? Could it be that you still have to lie in front of the third master? What's more, a lie always needs countless words." A lie to make up for it, do you think you have the ability to hide it from the third master?"
Ah Ming shook her head like a rattle, and she really followed Pei Man's wishes and went back to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan heard that Yu Tang was pretending to be sick, and his expression was very strange, but he was thinking in his heart that he was trying to get angry with him, not only pretending to be sick, but also hiding with Miss Xu, tomorrow is the lecture, the Yu family She wants to donate a merit box, and the female relatives of the Pei family want to donate Buddhist incense, so she can't continue to hide!
However, not necessarily.
She has never played cards according to common sense.
She is angry with him now, if she just stays behind closed doors today, maybe he won't know at all. As long as she doesn't show up at tomorrow's lecture, he will definitely find out.
Maybe she just wanted to make things more natural. If she pretends to be sick today and doesn't come out tomorrow, it seems natural. Even if he knows, he doesn't necessarily know that she is pretending to be sick.
Should he just act with her
The thought flashed through his mind, and Pei Yan immediately felt that it was inappropriate.
Tomorrow's occasion is too important, if she doesn't show up, it's too bad.
What should we do now
Pei Yan's mind was spinning rapidly.
After much deliberation, I felt that Yu Tang had to change his mind.
As for the matter of her getting angry with him, he has to look at the big picture, and it won't be too late to settle the score with her after the lecture is over.
When Pei Yan made up his mind, he usually acted swiftly and resolutely.
He stood up, and said to Mr. Peng and the others who were discussing how to find out who gave the two hundred thousand taels of silver, "It's something urgent. I'll go out for a while. After everyone's discussion, we'll discuss it again." It's not too late to tell me."
After finishing speaking, before Mr. Peng and others could speak, he quickly walked out of the hall, stood still under the eaves outside the hall, and ordered Pei Qi who was accompanying him: "Go and invite Mr. Shu over!"
As soon as the words came out, it felt inappropriate.
Many aides and masters came from each family, and Shu Qing wanted to entertain these people on his behalf. Besides, Shu Qing is a thoughtful person who thinks a lot. If he discusses with Shu Qing how to make amends to Yu Tang, Shu Qing will definitely feel that he is making a fuss out of a molehill.
Although he also felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, isn't it because Yu Tang is a particularly difficult person to deal with
She can really figure out whether she will show up at the lecture tomorrow!
"Shu Qing has something to do, so don't look for him." Pei Yan changed his mind quickly, "Let's think about it, or I can find Qing Yuan..."
Qing Yuan is careful and also a woman, so she should know what Yu Tang, who is also a woman, likes.
Pei Qi didn't think much, turned around and left.
Pei Yan felt something was wrong again.
Qing Yuan is the maid beside him, and Yu Tang's vision is definitely different. What Qing Yuan likes may not be what Yu Tang likes. If she knew that the thing he gave her as an apology was Qing Yuan's love, she might feel that he was humiliating her and would be even more angry.
"Pei Qi, wait a minute." He called Pei Qi back again, standing there racking his brains thinking about how to apologize to Yu Tang.
Pei Qi didn't know what Pei Yan was going to do, but seeing his troubled face, she couldn't help but said: "Third Master, what's wrong with you? Do you want to invite Aman over?"
His words reminded Pei Yan, and Pei Yan said: "No, you go and call Hu Xing over."
Pei Qi trotted all the way and called Hu Xing over.
Pei Yan asked Hu Xing directly: "I offended Ms. Yu, what do you think if I give her something to make her feel better about me?"
What is "offending Miss Yu"? !
Hu Xing's mind was buzzing, thinking he had heard wrong.
He looked intently at Pei Yan, but saw that Pei Yan was waiting for his answer with a serious face.
Hu Xing rubbed his eyes involuntarily, but Pei Yan mercilessly disgusted him: "What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well? Then you go down and rest first, and I'll ask someone later."
How could he go down to rest at this critical time
This is the time to demonstrate his ability, and it is the opportunity for him to share the Lord's worries. How could he give up so easily
Hu Xing hurriedly said: "No, no. I was thinking about what you said." In fact, he had no idea at all, and he had no idea at all, but this did not prevent him from procrastinating for time and trying his best to think of a way. You have to peek at Pei Yan's emotions from the corner of your eyes, and measure whether your answer satisfies Pei Yan: "Girls, everyone likes flowers. But men and women are different. Although you are an elder, are you a bit older?" Inappropriate. In the same way, rouge and gouache are also inappropriate. Ms. Yu is a sharp person, not an ordinary boudoir girl, and she is generous. I think she likes to be clear when she speaks and does things. When we usually apologize What give more..."
Pei Yan felt that he was long-winded, and it was the right decision not to reuse him at the beginning.
"Then send some snacks and candies to the past." Hu Xing's words really reminded him that since the clothes are not suitable, then send food.
Doesn't the Yu family often give him snacks and candies
Looking back now, Yu Tang seems to like eating fruit quite a bit.
"Should the cherries be on the market?" Pei Yan continued, "Send two baskets to Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu. There are also two baskets of plums and melons that have been newly picked these days. Wosi in Beijing Sugar, Longxu crisps from Lianghu, and iced rice cakes from Fengcheng, Jiangxi. Last time I heard from Lao An that they were delicious, I also sent some over. Then I told Ms. Yu to let her get better early, tomorrow morning Make sure to show up at the lecture in a lively manner." I also felt that just saying this is not enough to ensure that Yu Tang will be obedient and obedient, and said: "When you go over, remember to tell her that Miss Gu will also show up tomorrow."
Is this to leave this matter to him
Hu Xing was overjoyed, fearing that the job would be lost, he immediately agreed, and walked away quickly before Pei Yan had time to say a few more words.
Pei Yan felt that Hu Xing was not doing things safely, and wanted to call him back and give him some advice, but Mr. Peng found him and said, "What are you doing? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time and you haven't seen you coming back. Hurry up." , I’ll just wait for you alone. We’re going to share the two hundred thousand taels of silver, so we’ll say we gave it together.”
Whose idea is this!
idiot!
Pei Yan cursed in her heart, not wanting those people in the hall to know what he did just now, so she simply followed Mr. Peng back to the hall.
Everyone was waiting for him.
Master Song Si was still shouting there: "The Yin family and the Li family are also famously rich, so they should also bear part of the responsibility?"
This time, neither Quanzhou Yin's family nor Longyan Li's family came.
I don't know if it's because I don't want to participate in it, or because I don't know enough information, and I don't know that the imperial court intends to revoke the matter of Quanzhou and Ningbo Shipping Department.
