There was a thin layer of sweat on Pei Yan's forehead, but he didn't look flustered at all. He was thinking about whom to ask for a kiss.
This person must have a good personal relationship with Yu Wen and be able to talk to the Pei family.
It's a pity that the status of Yu's family and Pei's family are very different, and Pei Yan couldn't find a suitable one after going through his mind.
Just when he was thinking about whether to ask Pei Lao'an, he suddenly thought of Master Wu who was drinking with him at Yu's house today.
Isn't this a ready-made candidate
Pei Yan instructed Hu Xing: "Go and send a post to Mr. Wu in Qingzhu Lane, saying that the second master invited him to drink at home."
Hu Xing left in response.
Pei Yan went to Pei Xuan's place.
Pei Xuan was cleaning the leaves of several pots of orchids he raised with a small watering can. Seeing his younger brother coming, he did not put down the small watering can in his hand, but raised his chin and said "sit", and then asked him: "What kind of tea do you drink? I have newly sent Biluochun and Xinyang tea." Maojian."
Both of them grew up in Lin'an, but they didn't drink West Lake Longjing much.
Pei Xuan prefers Biluochun and Xinyang Maojian, while Pei Yan prefers Fujian rock tea and Qimen black tea.
Pei Yan didn't come to see his elder brother for tea, but he was not the one who wronged him, and ordered Pei Xuan's servant to make him a pot of Qimen black tea.
Because it was not the tea that Pei Xuan usually drank, the boy searched for a long time before he found the jar of Keemun black tea, and was complained by Ah Ming: "Since you don't remember clearly, just tell me, it's easier for me to go back and get it." Hurry up."
It's also thanks to the gentle temperament of the second master and the second wife. If they were in the house of the third master, they would be transferred outside to sweep the yard early in the morning.
Pei Xuan and Pei Yan talked about his recovery: "I wrote a letter to my mentor, and his old man was very supportive of my seeking a job in Beijing. But you also know that the fourth uncle's grandfather's third hall My brother also intends to become an official in Beijing recently, and I don't know about your arrangements. I was thinking that after you finish your work in Hangzhou, we two brothers have to sit down and talk, and you came here first. Then Let’s have lunch here at noon, and I’ll let someone make your favorite radish sauce diced buns.”
Pei Wang's third son is named Pei Feng, who is about the same age as Pei Xuan, and has been the magistrate of Baoding Mansion for several years. It stands to reason that he should be transferred to the capital as an official. But Pei Xuan and Pei Feng are family brothers, and Pei Xuan was afraid that the Pei family would attract the attention of other families.
Pei Yan has always disapproved of the family's so-called "hide your strengths and bide your time".
There will be traces when people walk by. The Pei family wants to be rich, but is afraid that they will not have the power to back them up. If they are coveted, they will lead to disasters. How can they really fade out of the eyes of the world? The best way, of course, is to join the WTO.
And who really can last forever.
Fall when it's time to fall, and rebirth when it's time to regenerate. This is the real way to be a human being.
Hearing this, he said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about these things. Even Cousin Feng, I sent a letter to him and asked him to find Zhou Zijin. Zhou Zijin will be in the capital these days, and asked him to find a way to help Cousin Feng." Find a better position. Why should our family be patient and careful? After a long time like this, people will become decadent. Look at the children of the next generation, besides Pei Chan and Pei Bo, who else can make people feel better? Take a second look?"
Pei Xuan didn't say a word, and felt that what his brother said was right, and even more so that his father made up his mind to hand over the Pei family to Pei Yan before he died.
He made tea for his younger brother himself.
Pei Yan had scolded her brother in such a high-profile way just now, but now she was a little embarrassed to bow her head to beg Pei Xuan.
The two brothers drank two cups of tea in silence, Pei Yan finally summoned up his courage and said, "Brother, I need your help with something!"
It may be that he seldom asks for help, and his tone is quite blunt, but based on Pei Xuan's understanding of his younger brother, he still knows that he has something very important to tell him.
Pei Xuan's heart trembled.
His younger brother, not to mention smart and strategic, is also arrogant, and he will not beg anyone when he is idle.
Even his mother's brother.
He couldn't help but sit upright, and said solemnly: "Say it!"
Pei Yan was even more uncomfortable. He lowered his head and drank two sips of tea before he said slowly: "It's like this. Didn't Momma host a lecture at Zhaoming Temple a few days ago? People from the Song family and the Wu family all came, and they didn't talk about it all day long." My mother just pulled me to talk about my marriage. The fourth wife of the Song family simply stayed at home and hasn't left yet. I thought about it, and I planned to marry a girl from Lin'an. It just so happened a few days ago I was working in Hangzhou the other day, and the daughter of Yu Xiucai’s family in Qingzhu Lane went to Hangzhou with Yin Mingyuan’s fiancée. We met a few times, and I thought the girl was nice. I told my mother, and she also thought it was very good. Now there is a lack of someone to bring this matter up to the Yu family. I’m here to beg my brother.”
Pei Xuan was dumbfounded.
Since when did his younger brother become such an honest and cowardly person
Did he give in when Song, Wu and others came to propose marriage
Then who was the person who made the Zhang and Li families unable to step down
Pei Xuan couldn't help but carefully looked at his younger brother.
Only then did he realize that Pei Yan's ears were a little red.
Ha ha!
Pei Xuan laughed in his heart.
Speaking of forced marriage, his younger brother must have taken a fancy to the daughter of Yu Xiucai's family!
What else did Mom agree to.
Maybe Muma was already lying on the bed because of him.
Ever since his elder brother married the Yang family, what his mother hated the most was granting it privately.
It was the first time that Pei Xuan saw Pei Yan's tweaking. He found it very interesting, and he suddenly felt playful: "Don't worry, this matter is on me. I'll go and discuss it with my mother." , you wait for my news."
It's time to see how Muma will deal with him!
Pei Xuan couldn't wait to see Pei Lao'an.
Seeing her brother pat his chest, Pei Yan assured him that Pei Xuan didn't think so at all. He was very grateful and didn't say anything, but felt that he didn't pay enough attention to the second brother's affairs, so he said bluntly: "Then I will trouble brother." Master Wu has a very good personal relationship, if you go to Yu's house, you might as well invite Master Wu to be your companion."
This is done in any way!
Pei Xuan immediately agreed, turned around and saw Pei Lao'an, but said, "Mom, what are you doing these days? Why did he ask me to help him propose a marriage, saying that he wanted to marry the daughter of Yu Xiucai's family in Qingzhu Lane?" , Does mother know about this? We don't have any friendship with the Yu family, should we inquire in advance to find out what the situation of the Yu family is like!"
Who knew that Mr. Pei Lao'an did not appear in the Asura field he thought he thought, but just glanced at him lightly, and said: "Your brother invited you to be a matchmaker? Then you go and inquire about it."
Pei Xuan scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
Pei Lao'an knew that his son, who looked honest and serious, was even more troublesome than an ignorant child when he was naughty.
"This is your elder brother's business," Pei Lao'an urged Pei Xuan, "As an elder brother, you have to take care of his business, lest people laugh at our Pei family."
Pei Xuan was stunned.
His mother really knew about it, and agreed to the third child's marriage!
Didn't kneel outside the bedroom in the middle of the night like the boss? Didn't lie in bed too hard to get up from the oil whip
How did the third child do it.
Why does he always do what he wants to do? !
Pei Xuan thought jealously, the old lady is partial!
He left Pei Lao'an's courtyard dejectedly, and waited for Mr. Wu to come to "drink tea" with him according to Pei Yan's instructions.
After Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan came to the house, he did avoid him on purpose. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary, she kept making hair flowers in her own room, and prepared them as gifts for relatives and friends at home during the Qixi Festival, so that when Ma Xiuniang, who was worried, came to visit her, she found that she was actually calm, It was so different from the day I went to see her, as if she was a different person, and she couldn't help wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"You didn't say anything to my mother, did you?" Yu Tang asked Ma Xiuniang worriedly.
Ma Xiuniang glared at her and said, "Am I the kind of person who has no sense of proportion?"
In case Pei Yan yells out before the family members are settled, if there are any rumors, how will Yu Tang behave in the future!
Yu Tang raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I won't speak for him. If he wants me to come forward even for these things, it can be seen that he has no sincerity."
This means that regardless of Pei Yan, let him toss about it, this marriage can be accomplished, and if it doesn't, don't force it!
Ma Xiuniang pinched Yu Tang's face lightly, and said, "Don't be duplicity, who is the one who is frightened in front of me?"
Yu Tang admitted it with a blushing face, but was still not ready to speak for Pei Yan: "He can't even have the courage to talk about it? That's not what I should do."
That's true.
Ma Xiuniang nodded again and again, after all, she still felt that Yu Tang would not meet a better marriage than this, and she was a little worried that there would be no wind and waves, even if she returned from Yu's house, the magpie would keep an eye on the movement of Yu's house.
But for several days, there was no movement in the Yu family.
Just when she was hesitating whether to visit Yu's house again, Yu Wen was already blown away.
He stared angrily at Master Wu, and said, "What are you talking about? The third master of the Pei family wants to marry our girl?! How old is he? How old is our girl? No! This is absolutely not allowed!"
Master Wu was shocked by his decisive tone, and said: "The third master of the Pei family just became famous as a young man, and he is only six or seven years younger than your girl. Isn't this good? Girls don't have to suffer with uncle Now, once you go, you will become a Jinshi Confucian, is there anything better than this?"
"That won't work!" As long as Yu Wen thinks that Pei Yan treats their family so well for other purposes, and even the money in the family that he thought he earned was given by others, he can't wait to run in front of Pei Yan , threw all the money he had eaten and drank into Pei Yan's face, "It's not that our girl can't get married, let alone our family wants to keep the girl to recruit."
