Pei Yan didn't want to pay attention to Yin Hao at all, but Yin Hao pulled him very tightly. He had to use some strength to break free, and he couldn't help pushing and shoving. He simply stopped and said, "The person who came to persuade me is You, you are the one who is holding me back from going out, what on earth do you want? Do you have to say that I am unhappy, and you will be comfortable? But even if I say that I am unhappy, can you help me solve it? If you can help me solve it, come, come, come, let me tell you."
For a moment Yin Hao really didn't dare to listen—if Pei Yan said that he wanted to "keep" Wang Qibao in Hangzhou City forever, would he help or not
Yin Hao chuckled.
Pei Yan broke free from Yin Hao's hand with a light flick this time, and strode out of the hall.
The fourth steward and the others didn't know what happened in the house, when they saw Pei Yan come out, they all rushed up.
Pei Yan made a sharp note.
Everyone bowed their heads consciously and stood where they were.
When Yin Hao rushed out, he only saw "wooden piles" all over the yard.
Pei Yan went to the courtyard where Yu Tang lived irritably, and saw only a few maids cleaning the window lattice, and then remembered that Yu Tang had gone to Mrs. Yang San. But this delay made him hesitate.
The last time I just asked Gu Chang how he knew her, she was so angry that she ignored him and spoke in a weird way, if I asked her if she was sad because of Gu Chang... I think she would Get yourself out.
Otherwise, wait a minute? !
Pei Yan stood there undecided.
After receiving the letter, Qinglian came out with a few maidservants.
"Third Master!" They bowed their knees to salute Pei Yan.
Pei Yan nodded, but said nothing.
Qinglian and the others didn't dare to ask more questions, nor dared to leave.
Everyone just stood there stiffly.
The more Pei Yan thought about it, the more she felt that she came impulsively.
In case Yu Tang was really sad about this matter, wouldn't he stab her in the chest when he asked this question
Although he is not a considerate person, he is not the one who does not know the importance.
Or, let's just pretend that you know and I know about this matter, so let's forget it? !
Pei Yan felt that she couldn't swallow this breath again.
Then Gu Chang is not as good as he is to Yu Tang, why does Yu Tang care about him so much
Thinking of this, Pei Yan's heart suddenly brightened.
yes! With which eye did he see that Yu Tang was kind to Gu Chang and cared about Gu Chang
He's just talking to himself!
Thinking about it this way, Pei Yan suddenly felt that he was really sorry for Yu Tang at the beginning—what he doubted was not the relationship between Yu Tang and Gu Chang, but Yu Tang's character.
Pei Yan smiled in embarrassment, secretly rejoicing that fortunately he was absent-minded, and walked directly to the place where Yu Tang lived. If he bumped into Yu Tang, wouldn't there be some unnecessary disputes between the two
He sighed for a long time, feeling that he had lost his soul for a long time, and nothing was done right.
Pei Yan went to the stream behind Yu Tang's house, and sat in the gazebo beside the stream in a daze.
When did he fall in love with Yu Tang? Is it the regretful "beautiful woman, how can I be a thief" when I met for the first time, or a series of encounters after that
Specifically, he can't remember clearly.
It seemed like she had been by his side for a long time.
It has been so long that he has become accustomed to her appearance, and has become accustomed to protecting her.
If it wasn't for Gu Chang's appearance, if it wasn't for Gu Chang's admiration that he couldn't hide, he might not be able to find out that he cared about the little girl.
But does this kind of care mean liking? Can this kind of love make them grow old together
Wasn't the reason why he never considered marrying Yu Tang because he witnessed the marriage of senior brother Fei Zhiwen with his own eyes
Pei Yan's mood began to sink again.
He really wanted to talk to Senior Brother Fei.
But here is too far away from the capital, I am afraid that even if he hastened to the capital, he would have lost the desire to talk about it when he saw Senior Brother Fei.
Pei Yan walked back and forth in the gazebo, like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage, who knows when it will not be able to suppress the hostility in his heart, roaring and jumping out to hurt people.
Tao Qing, who came to look for him, saw this scene from afar, and was frightened immediately. He asked the fourth manager in a low voice, "How long has he been like this? Where is Mr. Yin? Didn't he say that he lives here? He didn't persuade you at all. The third master of the family?"
Pei Yan is the youngest of them. Mr. Pei was generous and helpful when he was alive. Both the Tao family and the Yin family had been helped by his old man, especially Tao Qing. For a small sum of money, he probably took his widowed mother and young brother away from home to make a living, and there would be no future Master Tao and Master Tao.
Their feelings towards Pei Yan are also more complicated. They are younger brothers in seniority, but they are more like nephews in emotion.
The fourth steward complained incessantly in secret, but he didn't dare to reveal anything, and had to respectfully say: "The Gu family and the Yin family are going to get married. It's a bit urgent. Mr. Yin is also very busy. I just came to see our family three Master, the third master is unwilling to say anything, and Lord Yin has nothing to do. No, just before you came, Mrs. Yang San sent someone to call over, saying that it was an engagement banquet and wanted to invite Lord Qin and Lord Deng. Lord Yin, please write the invitation card."
Officials like Qin Wei and Deng Xuesong, the Yin family and the Gu family will definitely come after they have been engaged, but if Yin Hao goes to invite them personally or writes a post for them to send, the meaning is different.
Tao Qing was clear about these matters, and he couldn't blame Yin Hao, so he dismissed the four stewards and walked over directly.
"Xia Guang," he called Pei Yan directly, "there is no obstacle in the world. You sit down first, and we can discuss together if there is anything to do. If it doesn't work, I'll send someone to invite your second brother over."
Based on Tao Qing's understanding of Pei Yan, the things that can cause him such distress are definitely not outside socializing or family crises. Pei Yan seems to be born very good at dealing with such matters, and he likes to deal with these matters. Thought it was bitter, but also regarded it as fun. What can make Pei Yan like this can only be the betrayal or conflict between family members or relatives. Pei Xuan's coming may not solve the problem, but at least he can comfort Pei Yan and let him know that his brother is always on his side.
Pei Yan heard that she was not as irritable as before.
He frowned and sat on the beauty chair in the gazebo. Ah Cha, who had been ordered by the fourth steward to serve him, ran all the way over, panting and instructing the servants to arrange cushions and serve refreshments, and then exited the gazebo .
Tao Qing pointed to the big red flower brocade cushion and said to Pei Yan, "Even though it's early summer, don't be careless, sit on the cushion and talk."
They all believed in the Tao of Lao Zhuang and paid attention to self-cultivation. Pei Yan also wanted to find someone to talk to, so he didn't make an arrangement to reject Tao Qing, so he sat on the cushion next to him.
Tao Qing felt at ease, and personally handed over a cup of tea, and said in a warm voice, "Have a cup of tea to relieve fatigue."
Pei Yan did not refuse either.
Only then did Tao Qing sit down and said, "Do you want to talk to me? If not, I'll sit here with you."
Pei Yan stared at the teacup in his hand without saying a word, and after a while he said in a muffled voice: "Brother, do you know about my brother Fei?"
Fei Zhiwen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials? !
The Fei Zhiwen who took over Zhang Ying's connections and influence in the official department after Zhang Ying became an official? !
It is impossible for Tao Qing not to know.
This time Tao An is competing for the governor of Jiangxi, and he is also an important person.
But he has always been experienced in doing things, and he heard the words: "What aspect are you talking about? I have never dealt with him in private, but only had dinner together twice because of Ah An."
Pei Yan didn't raise his head, and said softly: "He is a child of the Fei family in Tongxiang. Because he was a good reader when he was young, he was quite rebellious when he was young. He was betrothed once when he was a child, but he died before he formally made an appointment. Later, when he reached the marriageable age, he fell in love with the daughter of a squire from a family next to their farm, so he tried every means to marry her..."
Having said this, he stopped.
Tao Qing had heard a little about Fei Zhiwen, combined with his own experience, seeing Pei Yan's look of not knowing what to say, and thinking of Pei Yan's sudden visit in the middle of the night, he couldn't help guessing: "Yes. No, they didn't have a good time afterwards?"
Pei Yan nodded, and said vaguely: "Mrs. Fei was very uncomfortable in every aspect after she got married, so Brother Fei took her to the capital... She couldn't adapt to the climate of the capital... Brother Fei had to send her to the capital again. Back to Tongxiang, let her live alone in Biezhuang, and invited people from her natal family to accompany her... "
Having said that, he stopped as if he couldn't speak.
Tao Qing knew that the next step was the key.
He couldn't help holding his breath, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I won't tell A'an either."
Pei Yan still hesitated for a while, and then said: "Later, that woman got married with Zhuangzi's Zhuangtou, please come down..."
Tao Qing's head "buzzed".
He only knew that Fei Zhiwen had no children, nor did he take concubines, and he thought that Fei Zhiwen had a deep affection for his wife, but he didn't expect...
Tao Qing's throat was tight and he couldn't speak.
Pei Yan raised his head, his eyes were calm but dead silent, and he said softly: "Brother, I never thought of finding a wife from a family other than Jiangnan... I don't know..."
I don't know if he can go on with that person.
I don't know if that person knows his mind and is willing to go down with him.
He was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by the burden of shaving his head, and he was even more afraid that he would drag an innocent woman into the water.
Tao Qing's scalp was numb.
No matter how much you persuade me about this kind of feeling, it's wrong.
Not to mention a very assertive person like Pei Yan.
Maybe he has made up his mind a long time ago, but he just wants people to agree with his point of view, to prove that he is not so wrong, and use this as an excuse to comfort himself.
But he couldn't help expressing his opinion.
He was afraid that if something bad happened, Pei Yan would attribute all the fault to himself, and there would be no way to crawl out of the mud again.
Like Fei Zhiwen, he has no heirs, does not take concubines, never enters teahouses and restaurants, and is said to be more self-disciplined than monks...
Tao Qing turned his head quickly, but he didn't dare to let Pei Yan see it, and he was so nervous that his hands were clenched into fists.
"No one can tell clearly about feelings, and everyone's situation is different." He said ambiguously, "You have to tell me what you think, so I can help you out."
