Delicate Flower - Chapter 141

[Chapter 140 Liu An]

Jiang Chao couldn’t sleep at night and was mentally exhausted during this period of time. Naturally, he didn’t have the insight he used to see six roads and listen to all directions. Besides, he just discovered a way that might save him. When Master Wu asked him, he was cautious and tentative.

“No, no, no.” He said excitedly, “Boss Wang will have an accident, isn’t it because officials protect each other? Sometimes doing business is like this. Without the protection of officials, there will be a lot of trouble. I knew Lin’an City Xiaomei before. Lane Pei’s family, but I only know that their family is a four-class scholar, but I don’t know much. Until last year, the Song family had a boat detained in Huai’an. You should know about our Song family in Suzhou, right? Their family is also Several generations of officials are the most prominent wealthy people in our Suzhou Prefecture. Think about it, such people’s ships have been detained in Huai’an, it must be because the crime is relatively big, maybe it is a big event. Their family What I’m asking is your Pei family in Lin’an City. I was surprised to hear it for a long time. I know the four surnames in Jiangnan, and you have three families in Hangzhou City, but there is no Pei family among these four surnames, and I don’t care about it on weekdays. Go on. Later, after the matter of the Song family was settled, I inquired about the Pei family carefully. I didn’t expect that the Pei family had almost every generation in the office, and their reputation was not obvious

.

Neither Yu Wen nor Master Wu noticed.

Thinking about it so carefully, it seems that the Pei family has been an official in every generation. It’s just that the Pei family is an official or a jinshi. They rarely celebrate with great fanfare. .

A four-scholar?

!

In their memory, the three brothers of the Pei family were all jinshi, the old man was a Juren, and the Pei family should be one of the three jinshi… In fact, there is another jinshi in this generation of the Pei family. Pei Yi’s son, Pei Wanglai.

However, Pei Yi is not a director, and seems to rely on the money of Pei’s family to live. After Pei Wang became a jinshi, he went to Henan to become an official. Because it was across the house, Pei Wang didn’t come back when Mrs. Pei died. At the grandfather’s funeral, Pei Yi didn’t say a word from beginning to end. When Pei Yan took over the Pei family, he seemed to not exist, so that the people in Lin’an City had no impression of their room.

Master Wu and Yu Wen couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.

They are from Lin’an, but they need a reminder from Suzhou.

But they are locals after all.

Yu Wen couldn’t help saying: “Pei Wang, I remember being several years older than the eldest master of the Pei family, and he became a jinshi a few years earlier than the eldest master of the Pei family, and has been an official outside since then, and I don’t know what rank it is now? Where does he work as an official? But he has a son I remember very clearly. He is only half a year older than our girl. When his son was born, he threw money at the entrance of Xiaomei Lane, and I happened to accompany Zhuojing there that day. The shop by the Meixi River was buying needles and thread, and Zhuojing also sighed, saying that this child will be reborn, and when he arrived at Pei’s house, he felt his stomach and said he didn’t know whether he was carrying a girl or a boy.

”

Jiang Chao’s eyes lit up and said: “Master Pei from the Pei family is now the prefect in Baoding Mansion.”

Master Wu and Yu Wen were shocked.

Although the prefect of Baoding is only a fourth-rank prefect, the location of Baoding prefecture is special, and it is the only place to go to Beijing from the north and the south.

Among the expatriate officials, the Baoding prefect is the closest to the capital, and it is also the prefect that is easiest to be promoted to the capital.

Although there is a saying in the DPRK that non-scholars do not enter the cabinet, but if anyone can break this statement, it must be someone who can be the prefect of Baoding.

Not only did Lin’an City have no news of this Master Pei, but everywhere in the Li family, Li Yi, who used to be the prefect in Rizhao, was being praised.

Yu Wen looked slightly solemn, and said, “If I remember correctly, Mr. Pei Yi and Pei seemed to have been a prefect in the past. Later, I heard that he was not suitable for the climate of the area under his jurisdiction. He was seriously ill and almost died, so he returned home. He was recovering from illness. And he hasn’t walked outside much since then. He even refused to ask him to be the mountain chief of Qiantang Academy. I was young at that time, just passed the county exam, and hadn’t achieved the title of scholar. I once discussed with my classmates that if Mr. Pei Yi and Pei could go to Qiantang Academy to be the mountain chief, wouldn’t it be more convenient for us scholars in Lin’an to join the academy? After he rejected the post of mountain chief, everyone had guessed that Is he sick in bed, and his life is not long.” I

didn’t expect him to live longer than Mrs. Pei!

No, they really don’t know whether this old lady of the Pei family is dead or alive.

Yu Wen glanced at Master Wu.

Master Wu obviously thought about it with Yu Wen.

He hurriedly said: “It’s still there! I saw him at the funeral when the old man of the Pei family went. I saw that his hair was all gray, but he was in good spirits. He didn’t have a crutch, and he walked pretty well.”

Jiang Chao said: “Their family is too low-key, I didn’t even think of their family for a while.”

Master Wu and Yu Wen thought about it at this time, and suddenly they were in awe of the Pei family.

The Pei family is a real aristocratic family, not to mention the benefits to the hometown, but also humble, low-key and self-cultivation, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Well, it’s not good for them to disturb people like this?

Master Wu and Yu Wen exchanged another look.

This time it was Yu Wen who spoke first: “Several masters of the Pei family are still keeping their filial piety, and we ask the Pei family for help for these matters…”

Jiang Chao, like being drenched in cold water in the cold winter of the 39th century, slumped in an instant, saying: ” I also know that their family and the Song family are still in-laws. I asked someone to buy shares in Suzhou City, but the Song family was not very happy, thinking that I had taken their business. How could the Pei family help us?” The

Pei family and the Song family

Is it an in-law?

In Master Wu’s impression, the relationship between the two families does not seem to be very close.

He asked curiously, “What kind of in-laws are the Pei family and the Song family?”

Yu Wen said, “Lao An of the Pei family and Lao An of the Song family are cousins.”

Master Wu and Jiang Chao looked at him with bright eyes.

Yu Wen was shocked to realize that not many Lin’an City knew that the Pei family and the Song family were in-laws.

Did he accidentally get into trouble?

Yu Wen smiled bitterly inwardly, and said hurriedly, “I also heard it from others, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Jiang Chao said: “It’s true! I have a good relationship with a steward of the Song family, he told me.”

He also knew that although Laoan of the Song family and Laoan of the Pei family were cousins, they were almost two different from each other. ten years old.

When Laoan from the Song family came out of the pavilion, Laoan from the Pei family was still not born, and the relationship between the two was not deep.

Later, it seems that something else happened. There was a gap between the two families, and the relationship in the early years was just for face.

Later, the three sons of Pei Lao’an became Jinshi one after another, but only one of the sons of the Song family was an official.

Even so, when something happened to the Song family, as soon as the Pei family came forward, they fished out both the person and the boat.

“There are people in the court who can do things well!” He sighed a long time.

Neither Master Wu nor Yu Wen answered.

Only then did Jiang Chao feel that the attitudes of the two were a little bit of shirk.

He smiled bitterly.

He owed the two of them so much money, and the two of them neither forced him to pay the debt, but also saved his mother, and now they have taken in him, who has nowhere to go. It was his fault to introduce the people of the Pei family.

He’d better think of other ways.

Jiang Chao thought about it, changed the subject, and asked about the history of Zhaoming Temple.

Master Wu and Yu Wen smiled together.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the three of them talked and laughed all the way to play in Zhaoming Temple for a day. When they came down the mountain, the three of them had begun to call themselves brothers.

When he returned to Yu’s house, Jiang Chao tiredly went back to the guest room to rest, but Master Wu took Yu Wen to take him out and said something at the door: “Brother Yu, tell me the truth, how do you know Pei The family and the Song family are related by marriage? I am considered a person in Lin’an City, but I have never heard of it.”

Yu Wen hesitated.

Master Wu said immediately: “Don’t fool me with the same tricks that fool Brother Jiang, I’m not his kind of little hairy head who doesn’t know anything.”

Yu Wen touched his head, not knowing what to say.

Master Wu simply said: “I won’t force you anymore, you just tell me, how is your relationship with the third master of the Pei family? If you ask the third master for the Wang family’s affairs, will he see us?”

Yu Wen was relieved and told the truth: ” I really don’t know! The third master looks young, but he is actually quite temperamental. I have never troubled him like this.”

He felt that the Pei family could also profit from the auction map, so he dared to ask for it. Come to the door.

But if the Pei family intervenes in this matter, it is purely to help.

He didn’t even know if he had this face.

“Don’t you want to help Brother Jiang lead this line?” Yu Wen said, “Businessmen are more important than profit…”

Master Wu shook his head, lowered his voice and said, “This is also a win-win situation! I think in all likelihood our money is If you don’t want to come back, but you know Brother Jiang, he can speak well, and it is very easy to impress people. If you introduce him to Master Pei San, maybe Liu Anhua will be able to stand up again through the power of the Pei family. After all

, I

still want to let Jiang Chao earn back the money he invested before.

If this matter only involved himself, Yu Wen would definitely not agree, but he caused Master Wu to lose a lot of money, and Master Wu begged him like this, he had to consider this matter Is it feasible.

“Why don’t I try?” Yu Wen hesitated, “I don’t know if Mr. Pei San will agree?” If you

can try, you will have a chance.

Master Wu was overjoyed and said: “If the third master can take over the Pei family and make everyone in the Pei family silent, then he is not a face person! Even if he is a face person, he is also a person who hides a knife in a smile. Don’t think I am For those few dollars, I mainly want to walk around with the third master more.” If you

have nothing to do, you have to find something to do, not to mention that there is really something going on right now.

Yu Wen could understand his mood and kept nodding his head.

Master Wu told him: “Don’t tell Brother Jiang about this first, the third master is willing to see us and then tell him.” After speaking, he winked at Yu Wen.

Yu Wen thought he was afraid of losing face, but in fact, Master Wu wanted to mislead Jiang Chao and make Jiang Chao feel that they had a good relationship with Pei Yan, so that Jiang Chao could find a way to get back the money they invested in the future.
