How can we not do this business
It's a profitable business. If this business can be turned around, then in the future, the Peng family will not have to worry about food and clothing, and they won't have to worry about Concubine Peng De's expenses in the palace.
Since she was in front of his wife, there was nothing to hide. Master Peng sighed and said, "The Princess of Shouning County is marrying in. Her considerable dowry can be ignored for now. Have you thought about the other benefits? She is extremely favored in the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion. Old Madam Wei treats her as her lifeblood. As for Wei Yangqing, let's not say that he only obeys his mother's orders. After what happened with Princess Changning, he will never dare to disobey Old Madam Wei again. As long as we control Princess Shouning, we can control both Old Madam Wei and Wei Yangqing."
She didn't say the rest, but Mrs. Peng knew it very well.
Now that he has the Vice Minister of War Wei Yangqing in his control, Master Peng's beheading business can be more secure, as if he has found a huge umbrella of protection for himself.
What's more, Wei An has King Zheng behind him.
Prince Zheng also doted on Wei An very much. It was not about whether he doted on her or not. After all, she was his biological daughter. Since they had the leverage over Prince Zheng and Wei An, they were not afraid that Prince Zheng would not lend a hand when the time came.
With Prince Zheng and Marquis Dingbei's Mansion protecting us, what is there to be afraid of
Master Peng looked at his wife who was in deep thought, stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "I have explained the interests of the matter to you clearly. You also know in your heart that we have finally found this way to make money. How can we just give it up? If we give it up, how many people will rush out and bite us to death?"
Madam Peng felt a growing headache, but she knew she couldn't refute her husband's words, so she sighed softly, "But what else can we do? The old lady in Dingbei Marquis's mansion has said something so damning, and it's clear that she wants us to know what's best for ourselves..."
Master Peng shook his wrist and sneered, "If they don't know how to behave, and don't accept my toast, then we should use force later. If they refuse to respond, it's time to show our leverage."
Anyway, now it has come to the point of framing Guo Zixing, the Wei family must be won over to his side first. Only after tying up the Wei family and King Zheng, he feels that the boat will be more stable.
Madam Peng frowned: "Do you mean to use Qinghe?"
Master Peng hummed casually, "If we don't need it now, when will we need it? We want to curry favor with them, but they look down on us. Since they look down on us, why should we be polite?"
Let’s become in-laws first.
Anyway, once the marriage is decided, the woman will always suffer the loss. What else can they do
Mrs. Peng agreed.
Master Peng then gave her some more instructions, asking her to keep Peng Caichen under control, before turning around and going to the bathroom to wash up.
Madam Peng tossed and turned in bed for a long time. She finally closed her eyes when it was almost dawn. She opened her eyes again as soon as it was light, got up, washed, and had breakfast. She left the household affairs to the second and third wives, and then she personally led people and gifts to the Wei family.
This time, she doesn't plan to be so servile anymore.
She already has the leverage over the Wei family in her hand, so it would be foolish of her to continue to suffer the Wei family's bullying.
But before she could straighten herself up, she was turned away - the Third Lady was not available to see guests, and the Second Lady had gone out to burn incense and eat vegetarian food. The person who came to receive her was Wei Kun's daughter-in-law, Xu. Although she was respectful and polite, what she said was just like that of old lady Wei, which was harsh but impeccable.
She said that Mrs. Wei was ill and was reluctant to meet strangers.
The anger that Mrs. Peng had been accumulating for the past few days almost made her break through her upbringing and say something unpleasant. She finally managed to hold it back, raised her eyes and said patiently, "That's really unfortunate. I'll come back next time."
After she said that, she turned and left.
Since Mrs. Wei was so shameless as to refuse to come to see her, she would make Mrs. Wei beg for mercy when the time comes!
After returning home, she asked Qinghe for something and asked Nanny Peng to take it to the Wei family.
She was really too tired to deal with Old Madam Wei and to endure her anger while listening to her lectures. Even if this marriage was to take place, she wanted Old Madam Wei to beg them to let the Peng family marry Wei An!
I really think I am something!
She smashed a set of tea sets, and finally felt that her anger was relieved. She asked someone to invite Master Peng and told him everything that happened today: "I have done everything I should do. Since the Wei family refused to accept the toast, I have the same idea as you. I have asked Aunt Peng to deliver Qinghe's token. With this thing, they are not stupid and will naturally know where Qinghe is."
Master Peng smiled at her soothingly: "That's good too. Even if we want to get married, don't give them too much face. We gave them too much face before. Send another sign to the palace to urge Concubine De. It would be best if Concubine De could put some pressure on them..."
Although they did not tell Concubine De about Wei An's identity, and could not let Concubine De go directly to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage so as to be so conspicuous, they could let Concubine De put pressure on the Wei family in private.
The Wei family should also have a clear understanding of their own identity.
This was not enough. Master Peng lowered his head, looked at his hands, and coughed lightly.
We have to drag Wei Yangqing into the water as well...
He asked someone to inquire about Wei Yangqing's whereabouts. After thinking about it, he changed his clothes and went out to look for Wei Yangqing.
Wei Yangqing was invited by Guo Zixing's best friend. This time when Guo Zixing was in trouble, his good friend Mei Hanlin, the president of the Hanlin Academy, invited him to a dinner party for the first time.
"Feng Zhu is definitely not the kind of person who would sell out his country for personal gain!" Mei Hanlin was unusually excited, and looked at Wei Yangqing with a serious expression: "Is there any misunderstanding in this matter?"
Wei Yangqing naturally knew about Guo Zixing.
Guo Zixing was an excellent general. He had made great contributions in the fight against the Japanese invaders and was very famous in the coastal areas. It was because of this that he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of Taizhou, and the Governor of Zhejiang specially allowed him to go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers and train them.
But he didn't expect that the soldiers he trained would lose so badly in the first battle, and all three thousand soldiers were killed.
The reason why this matter got out of hand is not just this. It is also because the few surviving soldiers said that there was an internal traitor, and that a senior general colluded with the Japanese pirates and pirates and leaked the location of their ambush, which caused them to suffer such heavy losses.
The imperial court took the news very seriously and immediately dispatched personnel from the Ministry of War to conduct a thorough investigation.
The investigation revealed the problem and it was traced back to Guo Zixing.
Wei Yangqing was in a dilemma. He looked at the wine in front of him and sighed, "Master Mei, this matter has already alarmed the three divisions. There is no point in saying more..."
