When Yin Hao returned to his residence, the servant told him: "Master Pei San has been waiting for you for a long time, and seeing that you haven't come back, he left."
"How long has he been gone?" Yin Hao asked in astonishment, "Didn't he leave any words?"
The servant shook his head and said, "Master Pei San left for less than a quarter of an hour. He heard that you were not there, so he just sat there and drank a few cups of tea without saying a word."
Yin Hao was afraid that Pei Yan had something important to do, so he went to Pei Yan's residence immediately without even changing his clothes.
Who knew that the boy in Pei Yan's room told him that Pei Yan was not there, and asked the boy where Pei Yan had gone, but the boy didn't know either.
Yin Hao had no choice but to call the fourth steward and asked him to help find Pei Yan.
The fourth steward asked several people, only to find out that Pei Yan had gone to Tao Qing.
Although the Yin family and the Pei family have been friends for several generations, without Pei Yan's confession, he should not have told Yin Hao of Pei Yan's whereabouts.
Although the fourth manager already knew of Pei Yan's whereabouts, he continued to "find someone".
Yin Hao waited anxiously.
On Pei Yan's side, Tao Qing happened to block the door.
Seeing him, Tao Qing looked surprised, pulled him and said, "You came just in time. I have prepared everything. The best jade carvings, the suet jade belt without any blemishes, and some calligraphy and paintings. The antiques are all taken from other people's houses by me first, and I calculated, no matter what, they are worth the amount." He stretched out a slap.
Pei Yan went into the house with Tao Qing, and said with a sneer: "Brother, if you give these things to me, it's okay, but to Wang Qibao... Let me tell you the truth, he came from a humble background, and he has nothing but gold. do not like."
"Ah!" Tao Qing looked at the burden carried by her own servant, stopped in her tracks, and hurriedly said, "Xia Guang, I'll write you an IOU, first lend me a thousand taels of gold. Then I'll ask someone to return it to your house How about going to the Silver Building in Guangzhou?"
If Pei Yan didn't want to help him, he wouldn't mention him.
He nodded hastily, and went to the study with Tao Qing: "Brother, I have something to ask you."
Tao Qing paused slightly, then took two quick steps, walked side by side with Pei Yan, and said, "Say it!"
But I was thinking in my heart, couldn't it be about that Miss Yu again
I really want to come here!
Pei Yan said: "Brother, I know that you have traveled all over the world, and you may have encountered something at some point, so the family has a nursing home. If I remember correctly, before you took over the family, the affairs of the family were yours." An aunt is in charge. Although she doesn't do business everywhere, she manages your shop and farm. She must also go out. The guards with her can't be men. Can you send me two women who can kung fu? It would be even better if it was a mother-in-law, I even bought all the people in her room."
Tao Qing raised his eyebrows, and said intentionally: "Your Pei family has always been doing good deeds in Lin'an. Once outsiders enter Lin'an, it is impossible to escape your family's eyes. What do you want girls who know martial arts? You only need two. If I remember correctly, there are quite a lot of female relatives in your family, you only need two people, can you arrange it?"
Only then did Pei Yan realize that he had made a mistake.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I'm afraid I'll ask for too much, why don't you give it?"
Tao Qingdao: "My aunt has been in the family for thirty years, and there are people around her one after another, no matter what, there are twenty or thirty. It is the woman next to Miss Xu, who was also the old lady Xu. You You have helped our family so much, not to mention two women who can kung fu, even if there are ten or eight, I must find a way to find it for you!"
This should have been an affectionate sentence, but the tone of Tao Qing's words fell in Pei Yan's ears, no matter how I listened to it, I felt that Tao Qing's words were somewhat displeased. Moreover, Tao Qing was quick-witted, if Pei Yan wanted to take advantage of him, he had to put up all his energy to deal with it. His mind was spinning quickly, and he said: "Brother, what you say is that you don't give it to people! Isn't this accusing me of repaying favors? You can't cheat me like this!"
Tao Qing said: "I said that you are threatening to repay me, so you won't ask me for someone?"
Pei Yan was taken aback.
It can be regarded that Tao Qing is joking with him.
In other words, Tao Qing had seen his intentions.
His ears were burning immediately, but his face didn't show it. He simply said bluntly: "Brother, can you just say whether you will give it or not? I'm waiting for it urgently! If you can't borrow someone from here, I'm going to ask Yin Second Brother, help me." At this point, he sighed helplessly, "You know that Second Brother Yin is good at everything, but he can't control his mouth after drinking, and he can't control everything. I like to talk to Second Sister-in-law Yin. I was thinking, it would be more reliable to find brother."
Pei Yan is proud of his youth and has never suffered any setbacks.
Tao Qing thought it was enough to keep the joke up to this point, and Pei Yan was going to blow his hair if he continued. If Pei Yan was offended because of this, then it should be even more wrong.
He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll let someone choose two families and send them over. Almost everyone in the family knows how to do it. If you want a woman, you want a woman, you want a woman, and even a boy. In short, guarantee Others can't think of it."
Pei Yan is really greedy for people like Tao Qing's family.
With a big wave of his hand, he said boldly: "Brother, if you don't get out with me, I won't get out with you either. For the one thousand taels of gold, just treat it as my money to buy those two families. Don't you bother?" Pay it back."
Tao Qing was dumbfounded, then laughed loudly and said, "It's a lot of money! Then I'll take it!"
He has sent a lot of things out these days, and he has almost withdrawn the cash from the shops that are close to him, and the shops that are far away are far away from the fire, so take the money from Pei Yan first. Gold turnover is also good for a while.
Pei Yan got what he wanted, and suddenly felt relieved.
I think it's a good deal to buy an inheritance from the Tao family for one thousand taels of gold.
And in this way, the inner courtyard of the family can have a few unexpected people.
He leaned over his desk and wrote a ticket (character) to Tao Qing, asking Tao Qing to send someone (to look for the steward) to pick up the gold, but he also gave Tao Qing an idea: "You might as well cast a golden bull, a golden bowl, etc. Give it to the prince."
Tao Qing has already found out that Wang Qibao is a ox.
He understood and smiled: "I know what to do!"
What are golden bulls and golden bowls? He sent Wang Qibao a plane tree made of gold.
Tao Qing thought about the one thousand taels of gold, and said to Pei Yan: "When you leave, take the woman who sweeps the floor in my yard with you, and use it for a few days. When you return to Lin'an, return it to me." return."
Pei Yan did not expect such a talent to exist in such a small inn. He salivated and said, "Brother, when did you become so stingy? Now that someone sent me off, there is no reason to go back. How about , just let me take it back to Lin'an directly!"
Tao Qing couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's not that I don't want to give you someone, but that this woman once served my aunt. When my aunt passed away, she said that she should be raised in Hangzhou. It's because she has nothing to do. Take the initiative to help in the inn. I can't force her."
Pei Yan's thoughts turned quickly, and said: "If she wants to stay, you don't care!"
Tao Qing stretched out his hand to hit him.
Pei Yan raised his foot and ran out.
Tao Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shouted behind him: "Don't act recklessly. I'm telling the truth. Whether people want to go or not is up to you!"
Pei Yan doesn't care about these.
Since he can be honored and supported, he would rather stay and help in the Tao family's property, that is, he has not forgotten the Lord's grace, so how could he not be ordered to do so.
Pei Yan thought that this woman had to protect Yu Tang's comprehensiveness, and that doing things proactively and perfunctorily were two completely different situations. He might as well be a corporal and invite this woman in person.
The woman Tao Qing mentioned had never been married, and was given the surname Tao, known as Tao Po. Although he is over 60 years old, he has a straight back, no blurred eyes, no deaf ears, white hair but a rosy complexion and a very good complexion.
Knowing Tao Qing's intention of bringing Pei Yan here, Tao Po didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed to go to Pei Yan's place to help clean the yard for a few days.
After all, Tao Qing was a little guilty, and said softly to Tao Po: "This time the Tao family is in trouble, you should be helping me."
Tao Po saluted Tao Qing respectfully, and said with a smile: "My aunt saved my life. She wanted to protect you when she was alive. It is my honor that you can use me. No matter where you are, you can use me as a helper." I'll just pack up and follow Master Pei."
Seeing this, Pei Yan didn't dare to take it too seriously, and politely said "thank you" to Tao Po.
Tao Po smiled and said "I dare not", and went to pack the clothes.
Tao Qing said angrily, "I'm sorry for being a brother, right?"
Pei Yan would also say good things, and said with a smile: "Why don't everyone follow Mr. Tao and call you 'Brother'!"
It is also a very comfortable thing for Tao Qing to be recognized by his younger brother's friends.
The two chatted a few gossips, and imagined many possibilities about going to see Wang Qibao, Tao Qing personally sent Pei Yan and Tao Po out of the house.
After returning to Pei's house, Yin Hao blocked Pei Yan at the door.
He looked at Tao Po behind Pei Yan, and was speechless for a while.
Pei Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Yin Hao, "No matter what you have, wait until I come back." Then, like getting a fun toy, he went to Yu Tang's place with great interest.
Yu Tang had already rested.
Qing Yuan was ordered to call Yu Tang.
Yu Tang rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said sleepily: "Master Pei San brought a woman over, and asked me to get up to see him?!"
Qing Yuan smiled bitterly, and said: "The third master said so."
Yu Tang stayed there until Qing Yuan served her a few sips of tea before she woke up.
What is Pei Yan going to do again
Yu Tang was terribly annoyed, so he endured his temper and redressed, and went to the hall to meet Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was frowning, pacing back and forth there.
People who are not familiar with him will think that he seems very irritable. But in the eyes of Qing Yuan, who had served him since childhood, Pei Yan was obviously very excited.
Qing Yuan couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang managed to control himself from yawning, and he couldn't help being a little lazy in his actions, like a beautiful flower, half-opened and half-hidden in the dim light.
Pei Yan's eyes were a little straight, until Yu Tang asked him if he came so late, if there was something important, his heart trembled, and he came back to his senses.
