Delicate Flower Chapter 70: Door

When the squires thought that Pei Yan was obviously protecting the Yu family just now, and when they heard that Pei Yan wanted to leave Yu Wen alone to talk, they couldn't help but look at Yu Wen with a bit of envy.

As the saying goes, there is only one emperor and one minister. The same goes for this family and this place. Whoever holds power should always use a few people they know, are familiar with, or appreciate. Pei Yan had just taken over as the head of the Pei family. Because he was still in the period of filial piety, he didn't even celebrate in a big way. In addition, Pei Yan was arrogant in the past and he was not the eldest son. Pei Yan's eldest brother was also a man of both talent and virtue. No one thought about the Pei family. The position of the sect leader will fall to Pei Yan. As a result, no one is very familiar with Pei Yan, let alone have any friendship with him. Now everyone is trying their best to talk to Pei Yan, and suddenly seeing Yu Wen have such an opportunity, who wouldn't be moved?

Especially Master Wu. He and the Yu family are neighbors, and he felt that he helped the Yu family a lot this time. He has always been a smart and ever-changing person. Hearing this, he immediately pushed Yu Wen and whispered to Yu Wen: "Master Wei and I will lead the way." Wait for you outside with the children, and let me know if you need anything."

Yu Wen was confused.

Before, he wanted to thank Pei Yan again and again for Chen's illness, but Pei Yan obviously didn't want to pay attention to him. Now he felt that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water, but Pei Yan was doing it in front of him. He was left behind in the presence of so many people.

He didn't think that Pei Yan was trying to show his kindness to him. He felt that Pei Yan probably had something to tell him about the matter between the Yu and Li families.

Since this matter was all Yu Tang's idea, from investigating to arresting people to asking Pei Yan to be the intermediary, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang didn't know what kind of medicine Pei Yan was selling in his gourd, but Pei Yan asked her father to speak in front of so many people, and they couldn't refute Pei Yan's face due to emotion and reason.

She had no choice but to whisper to her father: "As long as it doesn't conflict with what happened just now, just accept it. Mr. Pei San has been very kind to our family."

Not to mention anything else, her mother-in-law still relies on the eldest wife of the Pei family to get the Ping'an pulse diagnosed by Yang Douxing every month!

When Yu Wen thought about it, there was nothing a gentleman could not say to others, and their family had done nothing wrong. There was nothing they dared not say, and he suddenly felt extremely magnanimous. He smiled and thanked the squires who came to witness, told Yu Tang and Yu Yuan a few words "Don't run around", and whispered a few words "Wait until I come out" to Mr. Wei and his son, Mr. Wu, and so on. Left in the lobby.

Pei Yan had been paying attention to the movements of the Yu family and his daughter. When he saw him leaving Yu Wen to talk and Yu Wen still looking at his daughter, he had a bad feeling in his heart. But his character is like this, as long as there is something he doesn't know, he must find out. No matter what the Yu family and his daughter had, he would never let it go.

He simply told Pei Man: "Please invite Mr. Wu and Mr. Wei to drink tea in the flower hall next to us. We will finish talking soon."

The last sentence was addressed to Yu Tang and others.

Master Wu was worried about not being able to catch up with Pei Yan. Hearing this was like being handed a pillow when he was dozing off. He was afraid that Yu Tang, Master Wei and others would not understand the importance and give up this opportunity easily. , before Master Wei could say anything, he hurriedly saluted Pei Yan and said with a smile: "Then I will bother Master Pei San."

Pei Yan nodded slightly.

Master Wu pulled Master Wei out of the hall.

But outside the hall, there are small bridges, flowing water, and rockery mountains. The scenery is everywhere. For a while, it is difficult to tell the east, west, and northwest, let alone where the flower hall that Pei Yan is referring to is.

The young man leading the way couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, but his tone was respectful, and said: "You two gentlemen, please follow me."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Mr. Wu responded and straightened his clothes. He felt that no one noticed his embarrassment just now, so he took the lead in walking in front of everyone, following the young man through a winding road. The winding red-painted corridor passed through a flower wall and arrived in front of a flower hall with colorful glazed doors on all sides.

"Oh my God!" Mr. Wu's eyes widened when he looked at it. "Here, how much money does this cost?" After saying that, he realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly explained to Mr. Wei, "I have seen this kind of colored glaze. , it was still in the house of an official in the capital. When I came to Pei Mansion last time, it seemed that it was still covered with silk gauze, but this time it was changed to colorful colored glaze. A small one foot square costs fifty taels of silver. It’s such a big piece, and I’m afraid it’s hard to buy it even if you have money. It’s even more impressive than those officials in the capital!”

Mr. Wei didn't pay attention to Mr. Wu's incoherence. He was still worried about Yu Wen, but he was also stunned by the glazed door he saw in front of him. While he was looking at those doors, he murmured: "This is so beautiful! This is the first one in the whole Lin'an City, right? Look at the paintings on it, are you overjoyed? It's also inlaid with gold foil. Why is this? Inlaid? This craftsmanship is from overseas, right? This is the first time I have seen it."

Yu Tang, Yu Yuan, and Wei Xiaoyuan were also amazed by these glazed doors.

Yu Yuan and Wei Xiaoyuan met each other for the first time, while Yu Tang remembered things from her previous life.

After the Li family became rich in the maritime business, they also replaced the door of the flower hall with colored glaze. However, the Li family's flower hall is not like the Pei family's flower hall. The Li family's flower hall only has eight doors on the front. However, the Pei family's flower hall has doors on all sides, twelve on the east and west sides, and twenty on the north and south. Eight... The door of the Li family is inlaid with four noble objects such as plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. The door of the Pei family is obviously much more complicated. In addition to flowers, there are also some birds and beasts, the most common are peacocks and cranes. Those feathers are exquisitely painted. , rich and gorgeous, the light falls on it, shining like a treasure.

The door of the Li family is obviously an imitation.

Even so, Mrs. Lin proudly told her guests at the time: "They are all brought back from overseas. They are more expensive than gold. They are specially customized by someone, otherwise what you see will be all These statues of foreign women with yellow hair and green eyes are extremely ugly."

These doors of the Pei family are also specially customized and brought back from overseas!

The Pei family should have started to interact with those doing maritime business at this time.

At least, the Pei family is a big customer of those merchants.

Yu Tang was a little surprised.

This was not the first time that the boy who led the way saw such a shocked expression on the guest's face.

He let the guests look at the doors and said with dignity: "These are brought back by our third master to honor the old master. After the old master left, the third master originally wanted to replace these doors with plain ones. It's made of white glass, but our Lao An said that the old man liked to receive relatives and friends here the most during his lifetime. If the third master is filial, he should keep the things that the old man likes." At this point, the boy may have thought of it. At the scene at that time, "Puchi" laughed before continuing, "The third master said that since the old master likes it so much, then he should be buried with the old master. Lao An refused, saying that the third master was working against the old master. The old master What he obviously liked was to brag in front of his relatives and friends that these doors were given by the third master to honor him, but the third master insisted on making the old master lose face. Later, it was the second master who made the decision and kept all these doors."

Master Wu chuckled and chatted with the boy: "That's right, that's right. If I had a son like this, I would have to be bragging about. However, the third master is really generous. Such a flower hall, but It took a lot of effort, right?"

"No!" The boy was obviously not the first time to entertain such guests. After inviting them into the flower hall, he immediately pointed to the roof of the flower hall skillfully and said, "Look, the lamps are also made of colored glaze. At night , lit the candles, it’s so beautiful, even more beautiful than fireworks. Look at the ivory shelf over there, which is longer than a human arm. Isn’t it rare? It’s also the third master of our family who pays filial piety to the old master, and the one on top The eight diamond jewels are not what we see in the temple, they are all brought back from overseas."

Fortunately for Mr. Wei, Mr. Wu is a businessman and he immediately smelled something different.

He chatted with the boy seemingly unintentionally: "These things are so rare, where did you three masters get them?"

The boy puffed up his chest proudly and said: "Of course I got it from the capital. The second senior brother of our third master, but the current pavilion master, our third master is a close disciple of Zhang Shangshu, and is the same as the one above. The relationship between the senior brothers is very good. If our third master wants to get something rare, all we have to do is talk. Who among those who are doing maritime business in the capital should hurry up and get in front of our third master!" said At this point, he suddenly sighed and said, "It's no wonder that our third master is not used to it after he comes back. Anyone who is used to those prosperous and prosperous days will be a little uncomfortable when he returns to a place like Lin'an City. So. Our Lao An people always say that the third master of our family is filial. Before his death, the old master left all this huge problem to the third master. Although the third master said he was unwilling in his heart, he still resigned from the official position and came back to become the head of the clan."

Isn’t it law-abiding? How did it turn into resignation?

Master Wu couldn't help but said: "Is your third master no longer in revolt?"

The boy smiled and said: "The Pei family has family rules. The head of the clan must maintain his business in the ancestral home and is not allowed to go out to become an official."

Everyone was stunned, feeling both unexpected and logical.

Many wealthy families are like this. After becoming the head of the clan, they stay in their hometown to maintain their business and no longer go out to serve as officials. What surprised everyone was that it would be a pity for a young talent like Mr. San to start a business at home at such a young age.

Thinking about it this way, the rumors outside are not very reliable.

The sect leader is of course important, but if he can have a smooth official career and leave his name in history, wouldn't it reflect his own value more than being a sect leader who maintains his career?

As the head of the Pei family, Pei Yan also made sacrifices, which he may not be willing to do.

Yu Tang felt as if his head had been hit by something ~IndoMTL.com~ There were many thoughts coming to him, and he couldn't grasp what he was thinking for a while.

In her previous life, Pei Yan did not become an official again. She took it for granted, but looking at it now, it seemed a bit inconsistent.

Mr. Pei seemed to be favoring Pei Yan, but it also ruined Pei Yan's career. On the contrary, the eldest son seemed to have lost his position as clan leader, but the two young masters were free to take part in the imperial examinations and become officials freely. There is also the second wife. Since he is rumored to be the most incompetent among the brothers, why not let him stay at home and run the business?

It seems that the eldest brother and the second brother have been treated unfairly, but it is Pei Yan, the third brother, who is really trapped at home, and there is a high possibility that the descendants of Pei Yan’s house will also be trapped. Lin'an City.

The image of Pei Yan's face that always had a bit of indifference or even gloominess between his brows came to Yu Tang's mind.

Is it because of this that he is always unhappy?

Yutang's heart was beating wildly, and she always felt as if she had peeked at something unintentionally.
