Gu Chang's face turned red when he heard this, and he didn't dare to look up at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was not forgiving, and said: "Although you are Pei Tong's eldest uncle, you'd better leave our family affairs alone. Don't be like me, and end up in a thankless end."
Gu Chang thought of the rumors about the Pei family outside, and sincerely apologized to Pei Yan on behalf of his sister: "I did something wrong in this matter, and I will discipline my sister well in the future."
Pei Tong is from the Pei family, so he can't control him.
But if there is a chance, he will definitely help persuade Pei Tong.
No matter how good the Yang family is, it is only Pei Tong's natal family. Breaking up with the father's family, being close to the mother's family, and not having any life-and-death enmity, he will definitely be attacked by his opponents in the officialdom.
He couldn't sit still, he didn't care about the important matters to discuss immediately, got up and said: "I still have something to do, I forgot to deal with it just now, I will come as soon as I go. Try not to delay everyone's business."
Pei Yan guessed that he was going to settle accounts with Gu Xi, and was happy to see them dog-eat-dog. In addition, he was thinking about Yu Tang's side, and he always wanted to find an excuse to dismiss Tao Qing, but he was afraid that Tao Qing would not let him go, so he simply pretended Da Fang said: "Whether it is to invite Wei Sanfu to Lin'an or to Suzhou to visit Wang Qibao, we must listen to your opinion. Anyway, the night is long, and everyone has nothing important to do. If you have something to do, we will discuss it after you come over." All right."
Gu Chang originally wanted to be humble, but when he thought about what Mrs. Pei had done these days, he felt that his sister was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. If he delayed for a quarter of an hour, his sister might be hurt more, so he was not polite. , said, "Then I would like to thank the third master", and hurried to Gu Xi's place.
Tao Qing who was outside saw him and came in and said, "What's wrong with him? Could something have happened again?" A look of lingering fear.
Pei Yan glanced at Tao Qing, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's his sister. Maybe there is something important to ask him, and he will deal with it first. The party will probably be postponed for a while."
Tao Qing had been looking for an opportunity to talk to Pei Yan about the two hundred thousand taels of silver alone. The postponement of the party was exactly what he wanted, so he said, "Then let's go for a walk. They will come here intermittently later, it's just Sitting here talking nonsense, with this skill, we might as well discuss the business over there in Guangdong!"
If the Shibo Divisions in Quanzhou and Ningbo are really withdrawn, the Tao family, which occupies most of the docks in Guangzhou, will become the target of public criticism. Since ancient times, eating alone has not come to a good end.
However, Pei Yan had no intention of continuing to talk about these common affairs with Tao Qing. He was thinking in his heart that although it would be a month before Shen Shanyan arrived in the capital, there is no guarantee that the rescue of the Li family would not leak out. By then, Ms. Yu would know for sure. will be very angry. Instead of letting her think wildly, he might as well reveal his plan. With Miss Yu's cleverness, maybe he can cooperate with him, so that the Li family will never recover.
At this time, when he looked at Tao Qing, whom he personally invited, he felt that he was a little bit blank.
Pei Yan said: "I also have some urgent matters to deal with. We might as well discuss the matter of the Shibo Secretary later. You ask me to come up with an idea now, and I can't think of a better idea for a while."
Tao Qing saw that his eagerness was on the face, thinking that Gu Chang had come to find Pei Yan about Pei Tong's study, thinking that Gu Chang might have come here just now to talk about Pei Tong, and the two of them had an affair because of this. That's why Gu Chang rushed to see his sister, and Pei Yan probably also went to Pei Lao'an to discuss this matter.
This matter is indeed more difficult and urgent.
Tao Qing couldn't stop him, so he urged him to go back quickly.
Pei Yan nodded towards Tao Qing, and went back to straighten her skirts before heading to the east where the female relatives lived in the Buddhist monastery.
Tao Qing thought, Pei Yan really went to see Pei Lao'an, luckily he didn't stop him.
Business matters are important, but isn't doing business for the betterment of family members? If you ignore the people at home because of this, the loss outweighs the gain.
He was even a little thankful that he had formed an alliance with Pei Yan.
The two have the same views on major issues, and there are not many gaps in doing business.
Tao Qing was sitting alone in the hall, and the old god was brewing tea on the ground.
Pei Yan, who was misunderstood by him, turned a corner after entering the monastery in the east, and went to Yu Tang's place along the bamboo forest corridor.
Yu Tang was accompanying Mrs. Chen to meet the guests.
Both the Wu family and the Wei family got a room to rest their feet because of the Yu family, and because they were going to live in later today, they both sent capable women to pack their usual utensils one day in advance. Zhaoming Temple came together to greet Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen was usually taken care of by the Wu family and the Wei family, so she was naturally very enthusiastic towards the two women-in-laws. She not only repeatedly motioned for them to drink tea, but also asked them if there was any inconvenience that needed her help.
The mothers-in-law of the two families repeatedly said "I dare not", thanked Mrs. Chen, and said: "Everything is fine, I am bothering my wife."
Several people exchanged pleasantries, and Shuangtao quietly walked up to Yu Tang's ear and said a few words.
Yu Tang was very surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Did he come alone?"
Shuangtao nodded, and said: "Let the young lady meet quickly and tell the young lady about something important."
Tomorrow is the lecture meeting, even the best arrangements sometimes go wrong, Yu Tang didn't think too much, talked to Chen Shi, and went out with Shuangtao.
Pei Yan stood under the canopy-like camphor tree at the door, still wearing a moon-white muslin Taoist robe, facing the wind from the jade tree, which made Yu Tang a little dazed for a moment, as if the quarrel between the two was her memory , Now that she is awake, she has returned to the scene of meeting Pei Yan again.
It's a pity that Pei Yan is a master at destroying the atmosphere.
Seeing Yu Tang, he waved to her, motioning for her to go over and talk.
Yu Tang was angry, but still walked over patiently, and said, "What are you doing?"
Her voice was a little stiff, and Pei Yan gave a "tsk" in her heart when she heard it, thinking why Miss Yu was still angry? Isn't this a bit too aggressive? Didn't you say that you took his candy and snacks? Don't accept the account after receiving something
But he has always been generous, and the other party is a little girl, so he can't be serious with Miss Yu over such a trivial matter.
He said: "Do you want the Li family to be ruined and go away to hide their names in other places and make a comeback in a few years? Or do you want their family to suffer from suffering and trembling from now on with their tails between their legs?"
Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan.
Is not this nonsensical
She and the Li family have a sworn feud.
There is still an innocent life between them in this life, how can they reconcile and forgive? !
But thinking about Pei Yan's character, Yu Tang felt that these assumptions and hints were useless, so it was better to tell him clearly.
"I want their family to pay with their lives!" Yu Tang said in a clear and clear voice, and looked at Pei Yan with big almond eyes without blinking, and there was seriousness in his eyes that could not be mistaken.
This little girl!
It's a personality!
Pei Yan gave another "tsk" in his heart, and stopped beating around the bush, saying: "Mr. Shen came to intercede with Li Duan. I thought about it for a long time, and felt that even if I didn't make a move, with Mr. Shen's connections and friendship, I would still be able to do it. I asked someone else to do it. I agreed... "
When he said this, he observed Yu Tang's expression.
She didn't get angry or complain, but looked at him seriously as before, waiting for him to speak.
Suddenly, Pei Yan felt a little warmth in his heart.
The little girl still believes him, right
Otherwise, with the grievances between her and the Li family, she should have jumped up when she heard such words. And she can still stand here calmly and listen to herself, which shows that she believes that she can avenge her.
Pei Yan regretted making Yu Tang angry before.
He can't take advantage of Yu Tang's trust just because she believes in him, those who don't believe in him deserve such treatment.
Pei Yan's throat was itchy, coughed lightly, and then continued: "I wrote letters to my mentor and several senior brothers, and gave Mr. Shen a card with my name, asking him to go to Beijing Find my mentor and senior brother, and ask them to help Mr. Shen fish out the Li family."
Yu Tang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
But she kept in mind her previous misunderstanding with Pei Yan, and decided to endure it until Pei Yan had finished speaking before settling accounts with Pei Yan, but she didn't realize why she had to settle accounts with Pei Yan...
Seeing that Yu Tang was still listening to him as if he had just met him for the first time, Pei Yan felt even more satisfied, and there was a bit of joy in his voice that he didn't realize: "I told my mentor and my senior brother that our family I owe Mr. Shen a great favor, so I have to repay it, so I have to help him write a letter to save the Li family. You must be wondering why I said that, right?"
Involuntarily, he began to play tricks again.
Yu Tang knew his character too well, so he patted him up and praised him, saying: "Why do you say that?"
It's not really because the Pei family owes Mr. Shen a big favor, right
Pei Yan said quite proudly: "Because my mentor and my senior brothers hate those who are unkind officials the most!"
Yu Tang was stunned.
Pei Yan looked at her staring almond eyes, with a dull and surprised expression... It felt like she looked so stupid.
He couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "My benefactor and my senior brother think that you can have selfish intentions when you are an official, but you can't harm others. Because people who hold power are more harmful than fierce tigers. Look at me For the sake of saving face, they will help Mr. Shen get people out, but if the Li family wants to re-enter the official career, no matter whether it is my mentor or my senior brothers, including those scholars who have made good friends with my mentor and senior brothers, they will suppress him. From the Li family, in case their family recovers, they will not harm others again."
In this way, the Li family will be cut off from officialdom for at least fifty years.
If the children of the Li family were more slack in their studies, they might change from a farming and studying family for generations to a farmer facing the loess, or even become a tenant without even being a farmer.
Pei Yan smiled at Yu Tang, and said: "So I think, instead of letting the Li family stay where we can't see, it's better to let them stay in Lin'an, and we can help them one or two at any time. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"
Yu Tang shivered.
What a bad idea!
But, she likes it so much!
The Li family deserved to end up like this.
Who let them use other people's bones to achieve their own wealth!
Yu Tang nodded again and again, his cheeks were flushed with excitement.
Pei Yan said "Yes" in satisfaction, and felt that Miss Yu had to blame herself for thinking of this idea for her, otherwise who would she seek revenge on
