Invincible son

Chapter 182 181 [Marriage]

Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Gu Fan came out of the mansion in a hurry, and shouted to the porter: "Open the middle door!"

The carriage went straight into the mansion and stopped behind Neiping. Ye Qi and Taohua went to the back house led by the maids of the Gu family, while Deng Zai unloaded various gifts from the back of the carriage.

Pei Yuezao got down from the carriage early and sighed: "I'm really embarrassed to open the middle door every time I come here."

Gu Fan squinted at him, and said with a sneer, "Are you embarrassed too?"

Pei Yue said solemnly: "I'm not you."

Gu Fan lightly punched him on the shoulder, looked at Deng Zai who was busy carrying presents, and wondered: "Come here, why are you bringing so many presents?"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Uncle Gu is going to the south after the year. In just a few days in the first month, I don't know how many people will break the gate of your house. Why should I be annoying? Xiaonian today, take this opportunity to come Greetings to Uncle and Auntie is also a little bit of my heart as a junior. Now that the briquette business is on the right track, I will go back to Lvliuzhuang tomorrow, and I will not go out again unless there is something very urgent."

Gu Fan stared and said, "Just to wish my father and my mother New Year's greetings?"

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing, and immediately stopped and bowed his hands to him and said: "Then give New Year's greetings to brother first, I hope everything goes well for you, and you and Miss Nanqin will finally get married."

Gu Fan was originally standing happily, but when he heard the next sentence, his face changed drastically, and he looked around nervously to make sure that Gu Liang and Mrs. Zhao were not in front of him, so he asked with an expression of displeasure, "Repay your kindness with revenge?"

Pei Yue looked at him puzzled.

With a sad face, Gu Fan put his hand on Pei Yue's shoulder and said, "Let my father know about this, he will have to skin me."

Pei Yue asked curiously: "Are you really planning to marry Miss Nanqin?"

Gu Fan said coldly: "Don't you also look down on her?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said seriously: "Of course not, what right do I have to look down on her? But if you really want to marry her, Uncle Gu may not firmly refuse, and Auntie might not agree."

Gu Fan sighed: "Of course I know, let's talk about it later. By the way, I am not surprised that you brought peach blossoms to pay New Year's greetings. Why is Ye Qi also here? Tell me honestly, what is the relationship between her and you?"

Pei Yue didn't seem to see the scrutiny in his eyes, and said calmly: "She saved my life, and now she is also my best friend, and she has no relatives in the capital, so of course I want to bring her to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Fan snorted a few times with a strange smile, did not continue to ask, and led him forward while saying: "Little sister doesn't know martial arts, if the two of them meet, who will you help when they fight?"

"idiot."

Pei Yue finally couldn't help but curse softly.

Gu Fan was not worried, and suddenly said with emotion inexplicably: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

Just as Pei Yue was about to ask, the two of them had already come outside the study. Gu Fan rushed inside and murmured, "Father is waiting for you inside, so I won't accompany you. I have to watch from the back, lest Ye Qi bully my little sister."

Pei Yue was used to his lack of focus, so he opened the door and walked into the study, then closed the door behind him.

Gu Liang was reading in front of the case, and Pei Yue took a closer look, and the book was densely written with his thoughts.

The Marquis of Guangping closed the scroll, and Pei Yue happened to see the words "Tiger Seal Sutra" written on the cover, and he understood it immediately.Thanks to Mr. Xi's teaching for more than half a year, he is no stranger to these military books, and he knows that the "Tiger Seal Classic" was written very early, even before the former Wei Liguo.This book annotates many ancient military books, and also has its own insights. It is an extremely important classic of military strategists.

Gu Liang looked up at Pei Yue, nodded approvingly, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit."

Pei Yue knew that the other party had something to say, but he was not in a hurry. He lifted the purple clay pot next to him to pour tea for him, poured himself another cup, and then sat down.

"Is the honeycomb business going well?" Gu Liang asked.

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Uncle Tuo took care of him, everything is going well. It is expected that by the beginning of February, the firm will set up two to three shops in all the workshops in the east city, west city and south city of Kyoto."

Gu Liang waved his hand and said: "I didn't do anything, if you really want to thank, you have to thank Luo Jiyu."

"Luo is in power?"

"That's right, I wasn't in the capital that day. If he hadn't blocked you, I'm afraid your business would have to be handed over."

Gu Liang briefly talked about what happened in the palace that day. When he said that Luo Ting forced Emperor Kaiping to give up his mind by resigning from office, even though Pei Yue's mind was as firm as a rock, he couldn't help being slightly moved, and his face was even more so. Deep doubts emerged.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Liang smiled and said: "You don't have to think about it, Luo Jiyu's temperament is not because he wants to win over you, the young master. Even if you didn't come up with the briquette recipe, If it were any ordinary businessman, he would do the same thing. Of course, I should also be thankful that you walked right and steady and didn't use this formula to make huge profits. Otherwise, let alone helping you back, Luo Jiyu might be the most determined The person who took back your prescription."

He spoke calmly, but Pei Yue's back was covered with cold sweat.

Exchange the earl for the recipe?That was a deal lost to grandma's family!

Not to mention that he is destined to join the army to gain fame in the future, and the earl is also a distant dream. The benefits of the briquette business alone, the bigwigs in the court may not be able to imagine how terrifying it is, even though they also recognize the value of this thing. importance.Not to mention, Pei Yue is not only in the business of briquettes, but he also wants to build a larger business map from point to point.

However, the success or failure of such an important layout to him is only in the thoughts of others. It is undoubtedly a very timely pouring of cold water on him, allowing him to wake up from the smoothness of these days.

After thinking for a while, Pei Yue said with clear eyes: "Uncle, I will pay attention to keeping a distance from Luo Zhizheng."

Gu Liang laughed loudly when he heard the words, pointed at him and said, "Little fox."

Pei Yue smiled, and said with some fear: "I don't know anything about this."

Gu Liang said in relief: "This is something that only the important court officials know about. It's normal if no one tells you. However, there is a certain reason for everything in this world. Not only when you are marching and fighting, but you should not underestimate the importance of intelligence. Why is your Majesty the most important when you are Silent Cloud? Because without him, His Majesty will become deaf and blind. Except for the palace, he can see and hear nothing. The power around you is still very weak, but since When you become a viscount, you can prepare some people under your command, which is not a taboo. For example, your Xiangyun business can develop some eyes and ears from it. Don’t look at these people who are mixed in the market, and they often surprise you. joy."

After speaking, his expression gradually became serious.

Pei Yue sat upright and listened respectfully.

Gu Liang continued: "Xi Sidao should have mentioned your situation in the middle of the court, but after all, he has been away from the center for too long, and many impressions are a bit old. Today I will only tell you one thing, when I am not in Beijing, you will encounter problems that cannot be solved. If you are troublesome, feel free to go to Luo Jiyu boldly. As long as you don't make a mistake, he will definitely help you."

Pei Yue nodded, and asked seriously: "Uncle, how should I manage the contact with Luo Zhizheng?"

Gu Liang said in a deep voice: "Luo Jiyu is a gentleman, and the friendship between a gentleman is more precious than sincerity."

Pei Yue stood up and said, "My nephew understands."

Gu Liang waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, and then asked: "Brother Yue, you will be 15 years old after the new year, and you should consider marriage."

This question came too suddenly, Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.

Gu Liang said softly: "Since you have already cut yourself off from the Pei family, I will tell you directly. The girl Ye who saved your life is also here today. Do you want to use this to tell me that you don't want others to interfere in your marriage? "

Pei Yue was a little shocked. In fact, this was just a small thought hidden in his heart.Gu Liang didn't hide his thoughts, he knew it when he first came to Guangping Hou Mansion, so he planned to express his heart in such a tactful way, but he didn't expect to be revealed by the other party at this moment.

He wasn't sure if his answer would offend Gu Liang, but after a short silence, he raised his head and said firmly, "Yes."

Gu Liang didn't get angry, but sighed softly: "After you disappeared last time, Zhen'er didn't think about eating and drinking at home, and she lost a lot of weight. As a father, I feel very distressed."

Pei Yue was very embarrassed.

As long as some things don't pierce the layer of window paper, neither party will be embarrassed.However, when one party takes the initiative to reach out, only the passive party feels embarrassed.

After a long time, Pei Yue managed to hold back a sentence: "Sister Gu is very kind-hearted."

Gu Liang looked at him with a half-smile.At this moment, he is no longer just taking care of Pei Yue because of the story back then, but he appreciates this young man from the bottom of his heart.But just because he knew Pei Yue's character, he didn't choose a tough attitude. After making sure that Pei Yue didn't know what he was thinking, he said gently: "Forget it, you are still young. Since you haven't thought about it now, you can't think about it in two days." Let's talk in a year."

Pei Yue breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He didn't expect that in this world, he would still have to experience the experience of being urged to marry, and at this time, it was almost the end of the year, which was very opportune.

Fortunately, he is no longer that penniless bastard, at least he has the qualification to sit at the table and decide his own destiny.
