After being reborn, I kidnapped the future powerful minister

Chapter 142
Feeling at a loss, Pei Jingqian couldn't help but ask, "Father? Does Cui Yunhao have anything to do with our Pei family?"

Mrs. Deng remained silent, and her eyes were a little dodgy. Pei Wencan rubbed the center of her brows, and said in a deep voice: "It happened a long time ago, I guess you have forgotten it. Back then, I had an old friend's son who defected to our house. His His name is Cui Yunhao."

Hearing this, Pei Jingqian quickly remembered this matter, and hurriedly said, "The boy was accompanied by a little girl, and the two of them lived in Caiyun Courtyard for a while, right?"

"That's right." Pei Wencan nodded slightly, lowered his eyes suddenly, and said regretfully: "If you know that he can get rid of Yuan in high school now, then he will definitely not be forced to leave Pei's residence."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to stare at Mrs. Deng, and said angrily, "It's all your fault!"

Although Mrs. Deng was a little regretful at the beginning, she was stubborn and retorted angrily: "The master's words are too chilling for the concubine, why is it all the fault of the concubine? If the master's tone can be better, more tactful and shrewd, it will be fine." It’s not that he can’t even coax him.”

Pei Wencan frowned, but didn't say anything. On the other side, Pei Jingqian squeezed his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Father, we let Cui Yunhao live in Pei's residence a few years ago. It can be said that he is not being kind to him. He is now I have become Master Song's favorite disciple and won the first place in the provincial examination, if you can help me speak well in front of his master and encourage him, maybe Master Song will agree to let me return to the master's school."

Hearing the words, Pei Wencan thought for a while before saying, "Although your idea sounds good, but Cui Yunhao is stubborn and holds grudges, so it might be a bit tricky. He left Pei's mansion a few years ago in anger. .”

Pei Jingqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Please tell the child, Dad."

Pei Wencan was at a loss for words for a moment, how could he have the audacity to confide in Pei Jingqian's face about forcing Cui Yunhao to return his late father's belongings?
He was very concerned about his face at first, so he immediately changed his words: "However, Qian'er needn't be worried. You have other clever plans for your father. You must let Cui Yunhao speak good words for you and ask Mr. Song to change your mind."

Hearing this, Pei Jingqian smiled, and his mood suddenly became cheerful. However, Deng Shi hesitated to speak, and the expression on his face changed a few times.

The butler Ling Cang returned home quickly, hurried to Pei Wencan's side, bowed and said, "My lord, the investigation has been completed. Cui Yunhao is a foreigner who settled in Hangzhou five years ago and once stayed in Jishitang for a while. After that time, he moved to a small courtyard in the east of the city, besides him, he also had an older sister named Chu Yingying."

After hearing this, Pei Wencan clapped his hands joyfully and said: "Yes, it turns out that it is really the Cui Yunhao I know, who is much more promising than his father, and his future is limitless, so wonderful!"

However, Deng's face was as cold as water, and Pei Wencan said to Ling Cang again: "Quickly invite Cui Yunhao here, forget it, I will invite you in person to be more sincere."

After saying that, he straightened his hat and was about to leave when Mrs. Deng suddenly stopped him and said anxiously, "Wait a minute, master!"

Pei Wencan was already very happy, but now being held back by Mrs. Deng, he said coldly, "Why are you stopping me?"

Deng frowned, and said: "I think it's not appropriate for Master to go directly to Cui Yunhao."

Pei Wencan's face darkened, and he said, "Why isn't it suitable?"

Deng Shi said: "Master invited him this time, is he planning to clear up the misunderstanding with Cui Yunhao, or to help Dao Zhu get married?"

Pei Wencan asked her to expose what she was thinking, and was immediately embarrassed, but Pei Jingqian on the side was at a loss, and said inexplicably: "Father, how does inviting Cui Yunhao to Pei's mansion have anything to do with Daozhu's marriage?"

Recalling the old saying, Pei Wencan couldn't help being furious, glared at Deng Shi, and shouted: "How dare you say such a thing now? Have you forgotten the embarrassment at that time?

You obviously made up your mind to marry Daozhu to her second cousin, and you invited him to our house to meet with Daozhu to cultivate a relationship. After being fed with ecstasy soup, she fell into a coma for two days and two nights like a dead pig!As a result, I have cut off contact with his family since then, and I can't even do business! "

After saying that, Pei Wencan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and roared ferociously: "At that time, if you promised to betroth the Daozhu to Cui Yunhao, it would not have turned into the current situation! Cui Yunhao is old Continue to live honestly, and become the son-in-law of our Pei family!"

Mrs. Deng pursed her lips, and said very aggrieved: "My master is an afterthought. Five years ago, Cui Yunhao's parents passed away, and he brought a sister all the way to Hangzhou to join us. How could he be willing to betroth the Daozhu to him? Didn't the master agree very readily at the beginning, but now he blames the concubine for keeping it from him, what is the reason?"

Pei Wencan was furious and said, "Shut up!"

Deng Shi was frightened by his losing his temper, and lowered his head without saying a word, while Pei Wencan left the lobby angrily, leaving Pei Jingqian and Deng Shi relatively silent. After a long time, Pei Jingqian went to Deng Shi In front of him, said: "Mother, Cui Yunhao ever made a marriage contract with his sister?"

Deng looked at him leisurely, and said with a sad face: "That's right, but it's been several years now, and it's long gone."

Pei Jingqian rubbed his cheeks, and realized that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, so he said, "Mother, where do we start with this engagement?"

Mrs. Deng recounted the past when Pei Wencan got drunk after drinking and gave Cui Yunhao's father a chrysoprase bead, and made a baby kiss for the newly born Cui Yunhao and Pei Daozhu. told him.

However, Mrs. Deng deliberately avoided talking about some details and her and Pei Wencan's coercion and lure of Cui Yunhao, and grabbed Pei Jingqian's arm, weeping, saying:

"Actually, at that time, Cui Yunhao and your father tore up their faces because of the return of the beads, and left Pei's mansion overnight. With resentment in your heart, how can you intercede with his master for you? Don’t say a few good words, if you don’t spoil your impression in his old man’s mind, thank God!”

Hearing this, Pei Jingqian began to worry again, drooping his head, like an eggplant beaten by frost. Seeing this, Mrs. Deng hurriedly said distressedly: "But, don't worry too much. I have saved a lot here. If you ask someone to help you Do it a little bit, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Pei Jingqian was very depressed, but he still complied and said, "Mother, don't worry about it."

Deng took out the silk scarf and wiped the sweat from his forehead, chatted with Pei Jingqian for a while, then left with heavy steps, and walked straight back to his room.

After entering, she immediately closed the door, rummaged through the boxes, and finally found a kit. She poured two chrysoprase beads inside into her palm, stared at the beads for a long while, then clenched her fists, as if making a handbag. Decided, or as if relieved, exhaled a breath of foul air.
