Delicate Flower

The squires thought that Pei Yan was clearly defending Yu's family just now, and when they heard that Pei Yan was about to leave Yu Wen alone to speak, Yu Wen's gaze couldn't help but bring some envy.

As the saying goes, the emperor is the emperor and the courtier. The same goes for this family and place. Whoever is in power must use a few people who he knows, knows, or appreciates. Pei Yan just took over as the Sovereign of the Pei family. Because he was still in his filial piety period, he did not even celebrate. In addition, Pei Yan used to be arrogant and was not the eldest son. Pei Yan's eldest brother was a person of both talents and virtue. No one thought of the Pei family. The position of Suzerain will fall to Pei Yan's head, and the result is that everyone and Pei Yan are not very familiar, let alone any friendship. Now that everyone is struggling to find ways to catch up with Pei Yan, when suddenly seeing Yu Wen have such an opportunity, who is not in his heart?

Especially Master Wu. He and the Yu family are neighbors. This time they consciously helped the Yu family a lot. He has always been a smart and changeable person. He immediately tweeted Yu Wen, and whispered to Yu Wen, "I and Master Wei Let the children wait for you outside, and let you know if you have anything."

Yu Wen was at a loss.

Before, he tried to thank Pei Yan twice for Chen's illness, but Pei Yan obviously just didn't want to pay attention to him. Now he thinks that the friendship between gentlemen is not as good as water, but Pei Yan is in front of so many people. His face left him.

He didn't think that Pei Yan was going to show him good. He thought that Pei Yan was mostly because there was something to confess to him about the affairs between Yu and Li.

Since it was Yu Tang's idea from investigating to getting people to ask Pei Yan to be the middleman, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang.

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

She had to whisper to her father: "As long as it doesn't conflict with the matter just now, you can just respond. Master Pei San has a great kindness to our family."

Among other things, her mother still took the Pei family's wife every month to get the peace pulse of Yang Douxing's diagnosis!

Yu Wen thought about everything that a gentleman had to say to others, and their family had done nothing wrong, and there was nothing to dare to say, so he suddenly felt extremely magnanimous. Smiling and thanking the squires who came to testify, they told Yu Tang and Yu Yuan to say "Don't run around", and whispered a few words "Wait for me to come out" with Mr. Wei and his son and Mr. Wu. Stayed in the lobby.

Pei Yan has been paying attention to the movements of Yu's father and daughter. Seeing him leave Yu Wen to speak, and Yu Wen still has to look at his daughter, he has a bad premonition in his heart. But his character is like this, as long as it is something he doesn't know, he must figure it out. No matter what Yu's father and daughter have, he will not just leave it alone.

He simply instructed Pei Man: "Lord Wu and Master Wei, please go to the next flower hall for tea, we will soon finish."

The last sentence is for Yu Tang and others.

Master Wu is worried that he can’t catch the banquet. Hearing this is like meeting someone handing a pillow to him when he is dozing off. For fear that Yu Tang, Master Wei and others don’t know the importance, they will easily give up this opportunity. Master Wei spoke, hurriedly bowed to Pei Yan, and said with a smile: "Then bother Master Pei San."

Pei Yan nodded slightly.

Master Wu pulled Master Wei out of the hall.

But the small bridges and flowing water outside the hall, the artificial hills and ridges, are all-you-can-see. For a while, people can't distinguish the southeast and northwest, let alone where the flower hall Pei Yan is referring to.

The young man who led the way couldn't help pursing his lips, but his tone was respectful, and said: "The two masters, please come with the young."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Master Wu replied, adjusting his clothes, feeling that no one noticed the embarrassment he was just now, and then he took the lead in walking in front of the crowd, following the young man through a crooked red The lacquered corridor, walked through a flower wall, and arrived in front of a flower hall with colorful glazed doors on all sides.

"Oh my God!" Master Wu looked at his eyes straight, "This, how much money does it cost?" After finishing speaking, he was shocked and hurriedly explained to Master Wei, "I have seen this kind of colored glass. At the house of a government official in the capital city. When I came to Pei’s house last time, it seemed that there was still spun gauze. This time it was changed to colored glass. A small square is fifty taels of silver, let alone such a big one. It's a whole piece, I'm afraid it is difficult to buy with money, this is more style than those officials in the capital!"

Master Wei didn't pay attention to Master Wu's incoherent speech. He was still worried about Yu Wen, but he was also stunned by the Liuli door that he saw in front of him. As he looked at the doors, he murmured: "This is so beautiful! The entire Lin'an city is the first one, right? Look at the paintings on it, right? It's also inlaid with gold leaf. What's the matter? It's inlaid? This craftsmanship is from overseas, isn't it? This is the first time I have seen it."

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

It was because Yu Yuan and Wei Xiaoyuan met for the first time, but Yu Tang remembered the things in his previous life.

After the Li family became rich in maritime business, they also replaced the doors of the Flower Hall with colored glaze like this. However, the Li family is not like the flower hall of the Pei family. The flower hall of the Li family is only inlaid with eight front doors, while the flower hall of the Pei family is full of doors on all sides, and there are twelve on each side on the east and west, and 20 on the north and south. Eight doors... Li's doors are decorated with four gentlemen, such as plums, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums. Pei's doors are obviously much more complicated. In addition to flowers, there are also some birds and beasts, with the most peacocks and cranes. The feathers are exquisitely painted. It is magnificent and gorgeous, with light falling on it, shining like a treasure.

The door of Li's family is obviously an imitation of a tiger.

Even so, Lin once said triumphantly to the guests at home: "They were all brought back from overseas, which is more expensive than gold. They are specially made by someone, otherwise all you see will be yellow hair. The portrait of a Panbang woman with green eyes is ugly."

These doors of Pei's family are also specially customized, and then get them back from overseas!

Then the Pei family should have started to interact with those who do business on the sea at this time.

At least, Pei's family is a large customer of those merchants.

Yu Tang was a little surprised.

This is not the first time that the little servant who led the way saw a guest with such a shocked expression.

He allowed the guests to look at the doors, and said with You Rongyan: "These were brought back to honor the old man by our three masters. After the old man went, the third master originally wanted to replace these doors with plain white glass. But the old man in my family said that the old lady liked to receive relatives and friends here most during his lifetime. If the third master is filial, you should keep what the old lady likes.” Speaking of this, the young lady may have thought of the scene at the time. , "Puff" laughed and continued, "The third master said, since the old man likes it so much, he will be buried with the old man. The old man refused to agree, saying that the third master is working with the old man. The old man obviously likes it. It was in front of relatives and friends that these doors were honoured by the third master, and the third master had to splash the old man's face. Later, the second master came forward and left all these doors."

Master Wu chuckled and chatted with the young man: "That is, that is. If I had such a son, I would have to come and brag about it once. However, the third master is really a big deal. Less effort?"

"No!" Obviously it was not the first time that the young man was entertaining such guests. After entering the flower hall, he asked them to point to the roof of the flower hall proficiently. "Look, the lights are also made of colored glaze. At night, they light up. Candles, that’s pretty much more beautiful than fireworks. Look at the ivory on the Bogu shelf over there, which is longer than a human’s arms. It’s rare, isn’t it? It’s also the tribute of the third master of our family to the old man, as well as the eight treasures of King Kong on it. It’s not what we saw in the temple, it was all brought back from overseas."

Fortunately, Master Wei said, Master Wu is a businessman, and he immediately smelled something different from it.

He seemed to talk to the young man unintentionally: "These things are so rare, where did you three masters get this?"

The young man stood up proudly and said: "Of course it was obtained from the capital. The second brother of our third master, but the current elder, our third master is a closed disciple of Zhang Shangshu, and has a relationship with the senior brothers above. It's all fine. Our three masters want to get some rare things, it's not enough to just move your mouth. Those in the capital who are doing business on the sea will not be able to catch up with our third master! "Speaking of which, He sighed suddenly and said, "It's no wonder that the third master of our family is not used to it after they come back. Whoever has been used to those prosperous and prosperous days will be a little uncomfortable when returning to a place like Lin'an City. So our Lao An People always say that the third master of our family is filial, and the grandfather left all this big mess to the third master before his death. Although the third master was unwilling in his heart, he resigned from office and came back to become the sovereign."

Isn't it conservative? How did it become a resignation?

Master Wu couldn't help but said, "Is the third master of your family no longer recovering?"

The young man smiled and said: "The Pei family has family rules, and the suzerain has to stay in the ancestral home. It is not allowed to go out to be an official."

Everyone was taken aback, feeling both unexpected and logical.

Many big clans are like this. They stayed in their hometowns when they became suzerains and stopped going out to be officials. What surprised everyone was that it would be a shame to let young talents like the Third Master stay at home at such a young age.

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

Sovereign is important, but if you can have a smooth career and stay in the history, wouldn't it be better to reflect one's value than to be a defensive Sovereign?

Pei Yan, being the Sovereign of the Pei family, also made sacrifices. He himself might not be willing.

Yu Tang felt as though his head had been hit by something. There were a lot of thoughts, and he couldn't grasp what he was thinking for a while.

In her previous life, Pei Yan didn't go to be an official again. She took it for granted, but when she looked at it now, she revealed a sense of violation.

Grandpa Pei seemed to favor Pei Yan in this way, but he also broke Pei Yan's official career. On the contrary, it was the long house, which seemed to have lost the position of the clan house, but the two sons were free to participate in the imperial examination and became officials freely. There is also the second room. Since it is rumored that he is the most incompetent of the brothers, why not let him stay at home and keep his career?

The long room and the second room seem to have been treated unfairly, but it is the third room Pei Yan who is really trapped at home, and the descendants of Pei Yan’s room will also have a high probability of being trapped in Lin'an City. .

In Yu Tang's mind, Pei Yan's eyebrows always had a somewhat indifferent or even gloomy face.

Is it because of this that he is always upset?

Yu Tang's heart was pounding, and he always felt as if he was peeping into something unintentionally.
