Invincible son

Chapter 205 204

Pei Yue scratched his head, a little confused about the situation, so he could only smile silly.

Gu Zhen took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "What about Miss Ye?"

Pei Yue's smile froze on his face.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Gu Zhen laughed dumbly and said, "I knew she was special to you when we met last year. Later, I heard from fourth brother that you practice martial arts every day as a teacher and as a friend, and she did it for you too." A lot of things, I was thinking that you would definitely not let her down. Brother Pei, I didn't mean to bring this up on purpose, it's just that you really need to think carefully about it. "

This is the meaning of the title, how could Gu Liang's only daughter be a concubine?Pei Yue dared to mention that Gu Zhen's four elder brothers could tear him apart alive.

But with Ye Qi's firmness and pride, it is even more impossible for her to accept the status of a concubine.Although this is still a world where men are respected, the women Pei Yue meets are not ordinary, and it is not easy to get the blessing of others, whether it is luck or misfortune.

Of course, Pei Yue was not stupid enough to talk nonsense, he said seriously: "Sister Gu, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly."

Now he has understood that there are actually several reasons for Gu Zhen's sudden confession today.The first is the limitation of objective conditions. As Pei Yue developed and revealed his abilities, Gu Liang could no longer simply regard him as an old friend, let alone forcefully decide on his marriage. This was the specific manifestation of the conversation between the two at the end of last year.Under such circumstances, Gu Liang doesn't want Gu Zhen to marry someone else. The problem is that Gu Zhen is already 17 years old this year. Even if the children of rich and powerful families get married later, it doesn't matter. They can't wait until they are 20 years old, or they will become outsiders. joke in the eye.

In other words, within one or two years at most, Gu Zhen will definitely get married.It didn't matter to him that Pei Yue didn't make a statement, but Gu Zhen couldn't wait for him to hesitate.

The second is the existence of Ye Qi. After the two met, even though Gu Zhen got along well with her, she knew that Ye Qi and Pei Yue were very close through Gu Fan's relationship.

The last thing is Gu Zhen's personality traits, which is why Pei Yue was shocked today.

This woman who looks naturally timid and weak also has the courage and courage handed down from the blood of the Gu family.Obviously this matter is more suitable for Mrs. Zhao, but she still asked without fear.For a girl who has lived in the inner house since she was a child and received the most traditional education of the Zhao family, this courage is heartbreaking.

Hearing Pei Yue's assurance, Gu Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a soft snort, "You asked for this trouble yourself, no wonder I am."

This was the first time she showed such a cute and cute look in front of Pei Yue, although she was already blushing to the bottom of her ears at the moment.

"Sister Gu, don't worry, you can spend your days leisurely with Auntie at home, and leave everything outside to me, I won't let you down." Pei Yue said with a smile.

Now that there has been an agreement, and because of the attitudes of Gu Liang and Zhao Shi, the two of them can't be regarded as a private life-long agreement, but Gu Zhen doesn't want to be alone with him any longer, she turns her head and said: "I see, you can go now." .Remember to take care of yourself when doing things outside, I...I will pray for you at home."

In the end, some reluctance and worry were revealed after all.

Pei Yue nodded and said: "I will, in the future I will often visit Auntie and you."

"it is good."

Gu Zhen smiled softly, looking bright.

After breakfast, Pei Yue bid farewell to Mrs. Zhao and Gu Zhen, and then rushed back to West City under the escort of several soldiers.After he left, Mrs. Zhao, who noticed the weirdness during the dinner, hurriedly took Gu Zhen back to the back house and asked carefully.

Not to mention the communication between the mother and daughter of the Guangping Hou Mansion, when Pei Yue returned to the main store of Xiangyun Company on Qingshui Street, he found that the eyeliners outside were still unscrupulous, so he randomly selected one person and let the soldiers have a fight with him Confrontation, and then stepped forward to break the man's leg, casually thrown in the middle of the street.This act of venting anger combined with his murderous look immediately made the others shudder, thinking that the young viscount had gone crazy, and fled Qingshui Street one after another.

Just as Pei Yue walked into the main store's gate, a group of people came out, obviously aware of what happened outside.

Sun Qi and the others walked in front, their expressions were not very good-looking.

After they went back yesterday, they rushed over early this morning, but Pei Yue didn't return all night, so these people had to continue to wait in the shop, brewing tea several times.

Noticing the anxiety on their faces, Pei Yue raised his hand and smiled and said, "Brothers, let's go in and talk."

Everyone had to turn back again.

Ye Qi stayed at the end and walked side by side with Pei Yue. She looked at Pei Yue's face with strange eyes.

For some reason, Pei Yue felt a little guilty.

He raised his hand to touch his cheek, and asked calmly, "I haven't seen you for a day, do I look a little more handsome?"

Ye Qi spat lightly, and scolded with a smile: "You have such a thick skin!"

Regarding the secret meeting last night and all the plans these days, Pei Yue did not hide anything, and Ye Qi was the only one who knew his overall plan.Today's agreement with Gu Zhen, Pei Yue didn't want to hide it from her, of course this is not the occasion to talk about it, so we can only talk about it later.

After returning to the main hall, Lu Cheng asked impatiently: "Pei Yue, the situation is so difficult now, what should we do?"

Although they had talked about the possible troubles the company might encounter before, the development of the current situation still exceeded their expectations, especially the intervention of the Ministry of Finance made the situation of the company even more difficult.Although it can still support it now, if the household department continues to investigate like this, not only will the business this winter be ruined, but the entire firm will even be dragged down.Judging from the current status of the firm in Kyoto, the monthly expenditure is an astronomical sum. If there is no income for a few months, even Pei Yue will not be able to persist.

"Brothers, don't be impatient. I know the current situation is not good, but I told you before that the briquette business and the coal mine in Shouyang Mountain are a piece of fat. Those people will never let it go. They want to keep us You must hold your breath." Pei Yue said calmly after taking his seat.

Yu Tong frowned and said, "It's not the end of the mountain right now, I'm just worried that Your Majesty will be affected by the wind direction in the court, and then it will be really troublesome."

Pei Yue glanced at him in surprise, this guy's vision is really good, he can see the real joints in the current messy situation.

Sun Qi said slowly: "Brother Yue, the closure of the business will have too much impact. Do you want us to mobilize the power of the family together, at least not let the Ministry of Households continue to investigate. As for the details of Qibao Pavilion, I believe you also know that as long as the court Don't intervene, just from the way of doing business, we are not afraid of him."

Pei Yue pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Sun Shi, the Ministry of Household's methods are justified. At this time, we will start from the official side, but it will be solid. Let them investigate, and there will naturally be a turning point."

Seeing that he was so sure, it was hard for everyone to persuade them. After all, it was very clear at the beginning that Pei Yue was solely responsible for the honeycomb coal issue, and they only had the right to monitor the accounts.After a slightly heavy silence, Lu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Pei Yue, I want to increase the share of the stock!"

Pei Yue looked at him in surprise.

Lu Chengdao: "There is no need to add more shares, I will pay another 5 taels! Damn, these birds are too bullying, just hope that we will collapse and then pick peaches, how can there be such a cheap thing! You can do whatever you want, Brother, help you with the bottom line, can a minister of the household department cover the sky with one hand? By then, there will be no problems with the accounts, and the people in Kyoto will have no coal to use in winter, so I want to see how this old man handles business!"

Others nodded one after another, and they were all willing to add an additional investment at the previous price, and the proportion of shares remained unchanged.

Although Pei Yue was moved, he would not accept it, because it would cause many hidden dangers in the future.

Seeing this, Sun Qi said, "Well, we're lending you the money. After the crisis is resolved in the future, you can return it to us at the lowest interest rate."

Lu Cheng frowned, and Yu Tong looked at him and said, "Mangzi, let's do this, otherwise Brother Yue won't agree."

Seeing that they were so righteous, Pei Yue had no choice but to accept it. At this time, a few more 10 taels of silver would undoubtedly increase his confidence.

The atmosphere in the main hall was finally relaxed, not as heavy as it was just now, at this moment, Qi Min appeared outside the door and said: "Young master, there is a palace chief, Shi, who wants to see you."

Everyone looked at each other, Pei Yue asked: "Which palace?"

Qi Min replied: "Lu Wangfu."

Pei Yue sneered, King Lu is the eldest prince Liu Xian, is he planning to take advantage of this young master?
