Delicate Flower - Chapter 78

[Chapter 78 Inquiry]

After Lin Jue got the painting, he would definitely find a way to get the map.

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

Therefore, the painting in the previous life will have Master Qian’s signature “Chunshuitang”, and in this life, Yu Tang will be able to see through the tricks of the Li family.

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

Even if you can find him, it will take time and effort.

In this life, who will the Li family look for to dismantle this painting?

In other words, how long will it take to be researched in private?

Yu Tang tried to put herself in the Li family’s point of view, trying to figure out what the Li family would do next.

But no matter what the Li family does, what she is more eager to know now is whether there is anyone else behind the Li family?

If so, who is it?

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

The average person is to invest in individual stocks, which is the least profitable.

The real money maker is the fleet.

But forming a fleet is not that simple.

In addition to having a boat, skilled boatmen and experienced captains, you must also have your own wharf, your own warehouse, and file a 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 Shi Ship Division, which has to be the way of the government; the other is to have an experienced captain.

The former must not be a generational official; the latter must not be a family background.

Officials from generation to generation can ensure that no matter who is in power in the city shipping department, the fleet can get the record and pass without hindrance.

It is only possible to cultivate or have an experienced captain with a family background.

The Li family is neither a generational official, 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.

Eight or nine out of ten partners they found were from aristocratic families in Fujian.

At this time, Yu Tang only hated that he was from an ordinary background, and his vision was not broad enough to speculate who the Li family was working with in the past life.

After thinking about it, she had no clue, so she could only ask the shopkeeper Tong Da: “is there such a family in Fujian?”

Although the shopkeeper Tong is well-informed, if he looks at the whole court and all the aristocratic families, he doesn’t have this kind of family yet.

ability and knowledge.

He smiled and said, “In Lin’an,

or even the whole of Hangzhou, there are not many who can answer you. It’s better to ask the two masters of the

Pei family!” “Are you the second and third masters of the Pei family? ?” Yu Tang faintly had the answer in her heart, but she was a little unwilling to give up, and she was the first to find shopkeeper Tong with a fluke attitude.

The shopkeeper Tong said with a smile: “Besides the two masters, is there any other candidate for Miss Yu? Gu Shen and others must also know, but Miss Yu and them are not related or related, and this kind of thing doesn’t happen just by catching someone. As far as I can tell, of course the two Master Pei are the first choice.”

Yu Tang smiled wryly.

She only looked at 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 didn’t know it when she stood 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.

The shopkeeper Tong Da gave her an idea: “Why don’t you ask your father to ask Shen Jiaoyu from the county school? Maybe he knows.”

Yu Tang’s eyes lit up, but he was afraid that he would ask around, but he didn’t get any news. Make your intentions known to everyone.

“I’ll think about it again.” She said, saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Tong, and was about to go home, when the little shopkeeper Tong passed her, and said to the big shopkeeper Tong: “The third master is back, just arrived at the pier, what do you want? Don’t go say hello!”

“Go, go.” Shopkeeper Tong said hurriedly.

It was a coincidence.

Yu Tang thought for a while, and followed the shopkeeper Tong to the pier: “I’ll also go to say hello to Mr. Pei San. Yuyi Yang just left a few days ago.”

Perhaps because of the explanation from the Pei family, Yang Yuyi paid more attention to the doctor’s visit than usual, and changed the prescription for Chen Shi. After eating it, Chen Shi said that he felt significantly better.

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

Shopkeeper Tong Da smiled and took Yu Tang to the pier.

The wharf was still very lively. When everyone saw Mr. Pei San, they saluted him from a distance, but he was expressionless and very arrogant.

Yu Tang pouted and walked over with shopkeeper Tong.

Pei Yan looked up and saw Yu Tang.

Her dark blue silk was tied high on the top of her head, tied in a bun, and she was wearing a half-new brown servant’s clothes, but it made her skin more smooth, delicate and white, her face more beautiful and beautiful, and the wide clothes It made her originally exquisite curves look like the undulating mountains, and it was even more obvious. She couldn’t hide her disguise as a man.

Why is she walking around in this dress again?

Yu Wen didn’t care.

Pei Yan frowned, and his face sank before Yu Tang approached. When Yu Tang approached, he was already displeased: “Miss Yu, why are you here? But is there anything you need to help Master Tong?”

He The first time I saw Yu Tang, Yu Tang was fooling the big shopkeeper Tong.

This little girl will go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident.

She certainly didn’t come to shopkeeper Tong 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,” she enthusiastically went forward to give Pei Yan a blessing, and said, “Yang Yuyi came to see my mother’s illness and changed the prescription. Our family has not thanked you properly. What!”

No need to say thank you.

Just don’t do anything to damage the reputation of the Pei family with their family’s banner.

If it was someone else, Pei Yan would tell them mercilessly, but he had misunderstood Yu Tang before, so he felt that he should forgive Yu Tang several times as his apology.

Therefore, despite his dissatisfaction in his heart, he still did not say a word, but looked at Yu Tang carefully.

Only then did Pei Yan realize that Yu Tang’s eyes were very beautiful.

Not only is it dark and bright, but it is also watery, as if it can speak.

Just like this time, although she looked very lively with a smile on her face, there was a little bit of cunning in her eyes, reminding him of those scheming vixen in the picture book – although he had never seen what a vixen was like. Yes, but he felt that if there was a fox spirit, it would be 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 a few times.

Pei Yan took a small step back quietly and said, “Miss Yu, what are you doing?”

He seemed to be no different from usual, but Yu Tang suddenly caught his momentary hesitation and confusion. concession.

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

Is it 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, you are really amazing!” Perhaps it was because Pei Yan was too cold before, or because Pei Yan’s status in Lin’an City was too high, so Yu Tang couldn’t compare him with Li Jun, Shen Fang and others. There is no burden to flatter Pei Yan. Anyway, he has seen her worst appearance. What else does she have to pretend, “You are so hot, Jinqing, you know at a glance that I have something to do with you.”

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

He is most afraid that others will gossip with him on these trivial matters. He doesn’t know if he thinks he is too stupid, or if he wants to be smarter in front of him. He has to spend his time guessing a trivial matter, but he can see through it at a glance.

“Say it!” Pei Yan said.

Yu Tang was overjoyed.

She didn’t expect Pei Yan to be so refreshing.

Maybe she used the wrong method before.

Yu Tang thought about it, but did not delay at all, and said, “Can I have a word with you alone?”

Pei Yan looked at the pier where people came and went, and felt that this was not the place to talk.

But he just took a few steps to the side, stood under an old banyan tree, and said, “If you have something to say, just say it!” It

seemed that her matter was not enough for him to find another place.

How proud!

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

She asked him not to say, and besides him, there was no better candidate to ask.

“That’s it.” Yu Tang didn’t dare to complain, she was afraid that if she complained, she wouldn’t even have the chance, so she hurried forward, her voice was neither loud nor low, the distance was neither too far nor too close, “Master Wu wants to make an appointment. My grandfather is doing business at sea, and when I went to your house last time, I saw that the painted glazed door of your flower hall is really beautiful…”

She observed Pei Yan’s expression.

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

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

Yu Tang didn’t say more, skipping the topic, and continued: “I just thought that you may be familiar with those merchants who sell imported goods, so I want to ask you something. In Fujian, what officials and eunuchs have their own From the fleet, I want to see who has the most powerful fleet, and see if our family wants to do this business with Master Wu.”

She is full of nonsense, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com Pei Yan had no doubts.

Yu Wen is unreliable. It was the impression he had when he knew that Yu Wen needed his daughter to help him get money to sell his paintings after he was taken in. It was rare in Lin’an to take a stake in the maritime business. Even if I make some rouge gouache money myself, I like to find a fleet to participate in the shares. The eldest lady of the Yu family is restless. Knowing this, it is logical to have such an idea.

As for whether this matter was her own idea, or whether she was using the banner of Mr. Wu or Yu Wen, he decided to make up for it anyway, as long as the benefits fell into her hands, he had no energy for these trivial matters. , and have no interest in knowing.

“Why don’t you take a stake in the Ningbo fleet? The Ningbo fleet mostly produces porcelain and silk, while Fujian and Guangzhou produce 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, “In Fujian, the largest fleet is from the Peng family in Fu’an. Their family occupies a place in the Shi Ship Division all the year round, and the ships sailing. They are also veterans in their 20s and 30s. So far, there has been an accident five years ago. However, 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 for participating in the fleet in Fujian.”
