Delicate Flower - Chapter 408

[Extra 16]

Pei Xuan was taken aback and hurriedly said, “How do you know? Who does he do business with?”

Pei Yan spread his hands and said, “The head shopkeeper of the Tao family’s capital store told me. He said it was from the south. It’s a broken house with little money, but there are also a few capable people. It’s just that everyone else knows that he is your nephew, so he came to tell me on purpose.”

Being able to “deliberately” speak in front of Pei Yan, eight out of ten , Nine is that Pei Fei borrowed Pei Xuan’s name to do business with others outside.

Pei Xuan had a headache and said, “It’s really hard to handle!”

He couldn’t tell others that this nephew had broken up with him.

“He won’t be short of money, right?” If that’s the case, it will be even more difficult, Pei Xuan said, “It’s only been a few years, so the money we allotted to him is gone?”

“It’s not impossible .

.” Pei Yan said coldly, “Don’t forget what kind of temperament our sister-in-law is.”

Pei Xuan didn’t speak for a long time, and when he went back to see the second wife at night, she couldn’t help but talk about it with the second wife: “I know Xia Guang It means ‘this is my fault, I have to solve it myself’, but this child is too disappointing. Instead of studying hard, using my identity to compete with those merchants for profit is not the same as making people pay bribes. What’s the difference?”

Then his cautiousness over the past few years has become a joke!

The second wife didn’t even think about it, so she gave her husband an idea: “Since the third uncle said that, he must know who is doing business with him. Otherwise, you can politely tell your colleagues around you that these related households have nothing to do with you? ”

It’s up to you.” Pei Xuan sighed and said, “You also tell the people around you.” The

second wife nodded.

Pei Xuan said again: “Isn’t A Tong’s daughter-in-law coming here often? You might as well tell her.” The

second wife thought about it and said, “Then do you want to subsidize some money over there?”

Pei Xuan shook his head and said, “Since it’s broken, it’s best to break it clean. They can’t come to the door when something happens to them. Then what kind of sect is there? A Tong is a scholar, what does it mean to be divided? Do you know?” The

second wife answered “yes” in disappointment, worried about her son, and said, “How is Ah Hong? Did the shopkeeper Tong Er say anything?”

Speaking of this lazy son, Pei Xuan showed a smile on his face : “Xiaguang is not a good talker. If he doesn’t do well,

Xiaguang

will definitely not turn a blind eye. You can rest assured.”

Pei Yan threw it to the Pei family’s main shop in Beijing to help with the inventory at the end of the year. Every day, he went out early and returned late, but he was so excited as if he had eaten five stone powder. His face was full of red, which was not the same as the frowning face when Pei Xuan forced him to study in the past.

Pei Xuan doubted, “Could it be that Ah Hong is really a piece of business material.” The

second wife pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that Pei Hong might be happy because she doesn’t have to see Pei Xuan’s worried face every day!

But when her son came back, she still took advantage of the time she was serving her son’s supper to ask Pei Hong: “It’s so interesting to do business! I don’t know how to help my mother with a lot of things at home.”

In two days, the house will be cleaned up.

Dusty.

At this time in previous years, Pei Hong would be forced by Pei Xuan to practice writing Spring Festival couplets. After a small year, he would pick a few of the Spring Festival couplets he wrote and put them on pavilions at home.

Pei Hong hurriedly swallowed the butterfly cake in his mouth and said, “Mum, it’s not that I won’t help you, I have something to do now. If you lack the Spring Festival couplets, let Brother Jiang help you. Anyway, he is young. , as long as you write correctly, you will be praised. Don’t embarrass me.”

Pei Xuan was a famous calligrapher in the dynasty, Pei Hong is not without hard work, but compared to his father, he has less spiritual energy, plus his schoolwork It is rare to be placed in someone else’s house, but compared with the cousins in the family, it seems very ordinary, which is one of the reasons why Pei Xuan is anxious when he looks at him.

But going to the shop is different.

In this dynasty, everything is inferior, only reading is high.

There are very few merchants who have read books, not to mention that he was personally instructed by Pei Xuan since he was a child, and he was placed outside. He was also a handsome man and was respected and praised by others.

And most of this kind of respect and praise comes from the heart. Some people even think that if Pei Tong’s family split with their family, and the Pei family obeys the rules, he would not be forced to follow Pei Yan to take care of the household affairs. , he will definitely be named on the gold list like Pei You or Pei Yan, and he will have a long career.

This could not help but make him secretly happy.

So much so that he was reluctant to tell his parents that he made a small mistake when he went to Baoding and almost made a wrong decision… But his third uncle also said that when he was young, he did not make mistakes when he was inexperienced. When you’re old, you make mistakes when you’ve been through a lot of things?

So it’s not terrible to make mistakes, but if you are afraid, you will keep making mistakes and never make progress.

He has been in high spirits these days, and learned to read accounts with shopkeeper Tong Er. Today, he noticed a small problem.

Although it was just the wrong place in the accounts, shopkeeper Tong Er said that if the accounts of such a big family can be recorded randomly, the family will be in chaos.

Like his third uncle, he doesn’t read the accounts at all, but why can you know if the accounts are generally correct after listening to the shopkeepers talk about business? , What kind of year is this year, I have a rough number after thinking about it in my heart.

Picking up important accounts and looking at them can make those shopkeepers honestly dare not move.

Just like his father.

The Ministry of Household is such a big business, as long as it passes through his father’s hands, there is no fault.

It’s a famous plan.

Although the emperor felt that the Pei family was too rich, he was still willing to use his father.

Pei Hong thought about these things, and felt that her waist was a little straight.

He diligently took a piece of pea yellow for the second wife, and said with a smile: “The family has been busy since December, and I learned my skills from the third uncle and shopkeeper Tong Er. It’s like an elementary school apprentice, and I can afford it. Earlier than chickens, sleep later than pigs, listen to the master’s words, serve the master’s tea, it’s harder than studying, you can’t rest before the new year, don’t wait for me at night, there are so many servant girls around me Son, if I can’t take care of my food, clothing, housing, and transportation, what do I want them to do? You might as well go to bed early and get up early, look good, and look at your spirit. When you go out with us for New Year’s greetings during the Chinese New Year, people will think it’s mine when they see you. Where’s

my sister!” The

second wife was angry and funny when she heard his hilarious smile, and reprimanded him a few words. After he finished supper and put away the dishes, she went back to the inner room and learned Pei Hong’s words to Pei Xuan. , and added: “Why do I feel that when he goes out, how can he speak and act more and more like his third uncle? He will be like his third uncle, his mouth is as sharp as a knife, and his heart is uncomfortable. Can you piss others off at some point?”

Pei Xuan didn’t like listening to it, and said, “Has Xiaguang ever been disrespectful to you?

” Do you never show mercy when others speak?”

“Repaying grievances with straightness, and repaying virtue with virtue.” Pei Xuan said, “You can clearly distinguish yourself from others, and Xia Guang is the real understanding person.”

Second wife Ying promise, it’s not easy to judge the son’s right or wrong anymore.

On the other hand, Yu Tang kept asking people about the situation of Sister Shen Fang.

It’s just that Hangzhou and the capital are far apart, and the news is not so convenient for a while, so we can only wait.

Shen Fang probably knew that Yu Tang wouldn’t just randomly find a marriage for Wei Xiaochuan, and he didn’t mention it any more. He focused on his studies. Even during the Chinese New Year, he only went to his home on the first day of the new year. , I said hello to an uncle who lived in the house, I said hello to the Pei brothers for a year, and spent the rest of the time in the room to study.

Wei Xiaochuan, Zhang Hui and others didn’t go anywhere except to pay New Year’s greetings to the Pei brothers.

On the other hand, Yu Tang, Mrs. Pei and other female relatives were very busy. They went to pay New Year’s greetings to others, received spring guests, and went to the family’s family to be guests. They were busy until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and then they were free, but Miss Zhang gave them to her. Yu Tang sent a message, saying that there was a monk who placed an order at Hongluo Temple. It was very effective to ask for a child. After the second day of February, the dragon raised his head and left. Yu Tang hurriedly sent a letter to Miss Pei, and he had to prepare Wei Xiaochuan and others were so busy that their feet didn’t touch the ground.

On this side, Pei Yan managed up and down, and got the examiner’s list ahead of time.

The chief examiner is Fei Zhiwen, and the deputy examiner is Wang Chunhe, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Pei Xuan was relieved to hear that.

This time, I asked Pei Yan to open a small kitchen for Pei Tong and Wei Xiaochuan: “The personal relationship between Xiaguang and Master Fei is better than mine, especially since they have often exchanged letters and sang poems in recent years, but Master Fei is the chief examiner and will not personally Read the papers, but you must not violate his taboos. As for Lord Wang, it goes without saying that when Xiaguang was a Shuji Shi, he had several disputes with him over the knowledge of articles. I am afraid that he is more than a friend of Lord Wang. We also need to understand the preferences of Lord Wang.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

There were no outsiders this time, only a few people from Lin’an who came to take the exam and Pei Tong.

When leaving, Pei Xuan also specially told Pei Tong: “Don’t tell anyone about this. Including Gu Chaoyang. Examination is no trivial matter, and people’s hearts are separated.”

Pei Tong nodded solemnly and left.

It was already the third time for him to go off the court. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com was under a lot of pressure, and he didn’t move around during the New Year. Even when Gu Chang returned to Beijing, he just went to see him once, knowing that Gu Chang might die after his debrief. He will stay in the capital as an official. As for which yamen he will go to at that time, he did not ask, and Gu Chang could not tell him.

Gu Xi was very anxious, and asked her if Pei Xuan wanted him to speak, and urged Gu Chang to point out Pei Tong’s homework.

Because Fei Zhiwen was the chief examiner this year, Gu Chang was not able to go to his house, so all his previous plans had to be rearranged. Seeing Gu Xi’s impatience, he felt a little uncomfortable and criticized her. : “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t been away from Beijing for a long time. How can you become so impetuous? You’d better stay away from your mother-in-law! So as not to look more and more like your mother-in-law.”

Gu Xi was angry .

Yin shi had to come forward to comfort both sides: “Young aunt is also concerned about the chaos. Master, please don’t blame the aunt. Everyone is doing it for the good of aunt.” Then he went to pour tea in person, and greeted the brothers and sisters to sit down: “Drink some tea, Run Run. Throat, if you have anything to say, please say it.”
