Views:

After Lin Jue gets the painting, he will definitely find a way to get the map.

In the previous life, they were looking for Master Qian.

That's why Master Qian signed "Chunshuitang" on the painting in the previous life, and Yu Tang was able to see through the tricks of the Li family in this life.

Now because of her intervention, Master Qian is hiding far away in the capital, and the Li family may not be able to find him.

Even if he can be found, it will take time and effort.

Who will the Li family look for in this life to dismantle this painting

In other words, how long will it take to study in private

Yu Tang tried his best to put himself in the Li family's perspective, trying to figure out what the Li family would do next. But no matter what the Li family does, what she is more anxious to know now is whether there are other people behind the Li family? If so, who

You know, sea business is not so easy to do.

Ordinary people just spend money to participate in individual stocks, which is the least profitable. It is the fleet that really makes money. But forming a fleet is not that simple. In addition to having a boat, skilled boatmen, and an experienced captain, you also need to have your own wharf, your own warehouse, and record with the Municipal Shipping Department... Everything else is easy to say, and you can solve it with money. But two of them are the most difficult. One is to file with the Shipbuilding Department, which requires a government approach; the other is to have an experienced captain. The former depends on generations of officials; the latter depends on family heritage.

Generations of officials can guarantee that no matter who is in power in the Shiship Department, the fleet can get the record and pass without hindrance. It is possible to cultivate or have an experienced captain with a family background.

The Li family is neither a generation of officials nor a family background, so they can only find someone to cooperate with when they get the nautical map. To be able to cooperate with their family, it must be a family that can meet the above two points.

In the previous life, the Li family and the Lin family joined forces to do business in Fujian.

Eighty to nine out of ten of the partners they are looking for are from aristocratic families in Fujian.

At this time, Yu Tang only hated that he was born in an ordinary family, and his vision was not wide enough, so he couldn't figure out who the Li family was cooperating with in his previous life.

She couldn't figure it out after much deliberation, so she could only ask shopkeeper Tong Da: "Is there such a family in Fujian?"

Although Shopkeeper Tong is well-informed, if he looks at the entire government, the public and all the families, he does not have the ability and insight.

He laughed and said, "There are not many people in Lin'an, or even in Hangzhou, who can answer you. It's best to ask the two masters of the Pei family!"

"Second and third masters of the Pei family?" Yu Tang already had an answer in his heart, but he was a little unwilling to give up, and he was the first to come to Tong Da shopkeeper with a fluke attitude.

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said: "Besides the two masters, is it possible that Ms. Yu has other candidates? Gu Chen and others must also know that it's just that Ms. Yu is not related to them, and this kind of thing is not just to catch someone. You can know, of course the two masters Pei are the first choice."

Yu Tang smiled wryly.

She only saw the second master of the Pei family from a distance when the old master of the Pei family was at his funeral, and she probably wouldn't recognize him standing in front of her. As for the third master of the Pei family, she really wanted to find him, but he might not be willing to see her!

Yu Tang suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Shopkeeper Tong Da gave her an idea: "How about asking your father to ask Shen Jiaoyu from the county school? Maybe he knows."

Yu Tang's eyes lit up, but he was afraid that if he asked around, if he didn't get the news, he would make everyone know his intentions.

"Let me think about it again," she said, saying goodbye to Tong Da shopkeeper, and was about to go home when Tong Xiao shopkeeper passed by her and said to Tong Da shopkeeper: "The third master is back, just arrived at the pier, what do you want?" Don't go say hello!"

"I'm going, I'm going." Shopkeeper Tong Da said hurriedly.

What a coincidence.

Yu Tang thought for a while, and followed Tong Da to the pier: "I'll also say hello to Mr. Pei San. A few days ago, Doctor Yang just left."

Maybe it was because of Pei's family's confession that Imperial Doctor Yang paid more attention to seeing the doctor than usual, and changed the prescription for Mrs. Chen. After taking it, Mrs. Chen said that she felt much better.

Based on this, Yu Tang felt that he should also take the initiative to thank Pei Yan.

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and took Yu Tang to the pier.

The pier was still very lively, everyone saw Master Pei San and saluted him from a distance, but he was expressionless and very arrogant.

Yu Tang pursed his lips, and walked over with shopkeeper Tong Da.

As soon as Pei Yan looked up, he saw Yu Tang.

Her black hair was tied high on the top of her head, tied into a bun, and she was wearing a half-new brown servant clothes, which made her skin more smooth, delicate and white, and her face more beautiful and beautiful. The loose clothes It made her originally exquisite curves look like hills and hills, and it became more obvious. Not to mention she couldn't hide her disguise as a man, she swaggered with a magnanimity that she was not afraid of being seen by others.

Why did she go out in this dress again

Yu Wen didn't care about it anyway.

Pei Yan frowned, and before Yu Tang approached, his face darkened, and when Yu Tang approached, he was already displeased: "Miss Yu, why are you here? But what do you need to help the shopkeeper Tong?"

The first time he met Yu Tang, Yu Tang was just fooling shopkeeper Tong.

This little girl goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

She definitely didn't come to shopkeeper Tong Da for no reason.

Yu Tang was overjoyed when he heard this.

She was afraid that Pei Yan would ignore her, as long as he answered her, she would always have a way to ask Pei Yan to help her.

"Master Pei San," she enthusiastically stepped forward to give Pei Yan a blessing, and said, "Dr. Yang came to see my mother and changed the prescription. Our family hasn't thanked you properly yet. Woolen cloth!"

No need to thank you.

Just don't pull the flag of their family to do anything that damages the reputation of the Pei family.

If it was someone else, Pei Yan would have warned him mercilessly, but he had misunderstood Yu Tang before, so he felt that he should forgive Yu Tang a few times as his apology.

So even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he still didn't say anything, and instead looked at Yu Tang carefully.

Only then did Pei Yan realize that Yu Tang's eyes were very beautiful. Not only is it black and bright, but it is also watery, as if it can talk.

Just like at this time, although she had a smile on her face and looked lively, her eyes were full of slyness, which reminded him of the scheming vixen in those picture books—although he had never seen what a vixen looked like , but he felt that if there was a vixen, it should be like Yu Tang at this time.

The problem is, even if he knew that Yu Tang was plotting against him like a vixen, he had already decided to forgive her several times, he couldn't just change his mind and deal with Yu Tang right after he made a decision

Pei Yan took a small step back calmly and said, "Miss Yu, what are you going to do?"

He looked the same as usual, but Yu Tang inexplicably caught his momentary hesitation and concession.

Yu Tang didn't know why Pei Yan had such a change, but she felt keenly that since Pei Yan helped their family uphold justice last time, when Pei Yan saw her again this time, his attitude towards her was obviously much gentler.

Could it be because he knew that he had misunderstood her before

Guessing is guessing, Yu Tang is not willing to go against his sudden good luck.

She decided to seize this opportunity immediately and find a way to get something useful out of Pei Yan's mouth.

"Master Pei San, you are really amazing!" Maybe Pei Yan was too aloof before, or maybe Pei Yan's status in Lin'an City was too high, making it impossible for Yu Tang to compare him with Li Jun, Shen Fang and others. There is no burden in flattering Pei Yan, anyway, he has seen her in the most miserable state, so she has nothing to pretend, "You have a golden eye, you can tell at a glance that I have something to do with you."

Seeing her being so straightforward, Pei Yan was relieved and felt quite at ease.

He is most afraid of other people beating around these little things with him. He doesn't know whether he thinks he is too stupid, or he wants to act smarter in front of him. He has to spend his time guessing about a trivial matter, but he sees it right away.

"Say it!" Pei Yan said.

Yu Tang was overjoyed.

She didn't expect Pei Yan to be so straightforward.

Maybe she used the wrong method before.

Yu Tang thought about it, but he didn't hesitate at all, and said, "Can I have a few words with you alone?"

Pei Yan looked at the pier where people were coming and going, and felt that this was not a place to talk. But he just took a few steps to the side, stood under an old banyan tree, and said, "Just tell me what you have to do!"

As if her affairs were not enough for him to find another place.

How proud!

Yu Tang couldn't help but slander in his heart, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.

She asked him not to say anything, and besides him, there was no better person to ask for.

"It's like this." Yu Tang didn't dare to complain. She was afraid that if she complained, she would lose this opportunity. My father is in the sea business. Last time I went to your house, I saw the painted glazed door of your flower hall, which is really beautiful... "

She observed Pei Yan's expression.

Pei Yan listened casually, without any intention of showing off.

It can be seen that it is the old lady of the Pei family who thinks those painted glazed doors look good.

Yu Tang didn't say much, skipped this topic, and continued: "I just thought that you might be familiar with those merchants who sell imported goods, so I wanted to ask you something. Are there any officials in Fujian who have For the fleet, I want to see whose fleet is the strongest, and see if our family wants to do this business with Mr. Wu."

She was talking nonsense, but Pei Yan had no doubts.

Yu Wen's unreliability is the impression he had when he knew that Yu Wen was cheated and needed his daughter to help him get money for selling paintings; participating in maritime business is rare in Lin'an City, but in Hangzhou, there are many girls who want to give Even if I earn some rouge and gouache money, I like to find a fleet to participate in. The young lady of the Yu family is also a restless person. Knowing this, it is only logical to come up with such an idea.

As for whether this matter was her own idea, or whether she was acting under the banner of Mr. Wu or Yu Wen, he decided to make amends to her anyway, as long as the benefits fell into her hands. He has no energy for such trivial matters. , nor interested in knowing.

"Why don't you take a share in the Ningbo fleet? The Ningbo fleet mostly makes porcelain and silk, while Fujian and Guangzhou ship more porcelain and spices. Silk and porcelain are better than spices." Pei Yan He said something casually, and then told her what Yu Tang wanted to know, "The largest fleet in Fujian is owned by Peng's family in Fu'an. Their family occupies a position in the Shi Ship Department all the year round. They are all veterans in their 20s and 30s. So far, there has been an accident five years ago, but that accident happened to all the fleets that went to sea at the same time, not just the Peng family. If you want to The Peng family is the first choice to participate in the fleet in Fujian."
