Pei Yan is a person who knows what he wants since he was a child.

He certainly knows what he wants!

But precisely because he knew it, he didn't know how to say it out loud.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Tao Qing guessed something in his heart.

If Pei Yan just wanted to take Miss Yu as a concubine, he wouldn't have considered so much. It was precisely because Pei Yan was planning to marry Miss Yu that he was worried about the gains and losses and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

This is also in line with Pei Yan's usual style of behavior.

Then he would have to discuss the feasibility of this matter with Pei Yan from the perspective of getting married.

Tao Qing thought for a moment and said, "Does Old An have any plans for your marriage?"

As parents, how can we not have expectations for our children’s marriage?

But if Pei Yan was a child who lived up to his parents' expectations, he would not be so willful, nor would he be so hesitant about this matter.

He said, "That's why I'm worried whether she is willing to go on with me."

In a marriage that is not blessed by his parents, he may be under greater pressure than Yu Tang. When Yu Tang is wronged, he can tell him, complain to him, and ask him to solve the problem. But who can he tell? He is afraid that he will end up like Fei Zhiwen, who is trying his best to find a solution but the other party has already decided to leave.

In your heart, I am not the one who can protect you. Such distrust is more hurtful than anything else.

Pei Yan sighed softly.

Tao Qing carefully recalled everything about Miss Yu.

But he and Miss Yu had little contact. Apart from the impression that she was beautiful and had a pair of particularly bright and lively eyes, he had no other memory of her.

Or, persuade Pei Yan to give up? !

This thought flashed through Tao Qing's mind and was rejected by him.

He hadn't had contact with Pei Yan for several years, and the old lady of the Pei family passed away suddenly. Although Pei Yan took over as the head of the Pei family, his temperament was still as rebellious as before. If you told him to go east, he would insist on going west. If he felt that this marriage was inappropriate, Pei Yan would probably be even more insistent.

Tao Qing hurriedly said tentatively: "People are different. Miss Yu may not be the same as the wife of Master Fei. Don't worry too much."

Pei Yan nodded slightly.

Tao Qing looked at it and shook his head secretly in his heart.

Pei Yan had clearly made up his mind, and he was telling him all this, most likely just to make a complaint.

At this moment, he didn't dare to displease Pei Yan.

Tao Qing considered and said, "But we don't know what kind of person Miss Yu is. Isn't Miss Yu accompanying Miss Xu in Hangzhou? Otherwise, why don't you try to get to know Miss Yu? This way you will be prepared for whatever you do in the future, and it will be a bit safer."

Although he said this, he felt very sorry towards Yu Tang in his heart.

This is equivalent to instigating Pei Yan to contact Yu Tang in private, but comparing the two, he naturally protects Pei Yan more, so he has to apologize to Miss Yu.

Who knew Pei Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright. He said to Tao Qing happily: "Brother, it was right to tell you this. Why didn't I think of it? Before formally asking the matchmaker to propose marriage, I should have asked Miss Yu's opinion. She has a strong character, is smart and clever, and has wit and strategy. If she agrees, she will definitely go on with me."

At this point, he got excited, stood up, and began to walk around in the pavilion. As he walked, he said, "Brother is right. People are different. I don't know much about the Fei family. Senior Brother Fei talked to me about it after he got drunk, and I only heard a few words. Miss Yu is different! She not only dares to speak, but also dares to do it. Now I mainly have to get her to agree. But how can I get her to agree?"

Tao Qing felt a headache after hearing Pei Yan's words.

But what can he do?

This was his idea.

What if...if it wasn't Pei Yan causing trouble for him, then it would be Lao An who was causing trouble for him.

Anyway, he can't deny himself and can't escape.

Then it would be better to help Pei Yan succeed.

At least I didn't offend either of them.

He was a bit desperate and said, "This is just like doing business. As long as our interests are aligned, we can definitely come to an agreement."

Common interests!

Pei Yan doesn't like this statement.

Tao Qing felt his headache getting worse.

He said: "Let me give you an analogy. For example, with A'an's marriage, I want to find someone who can help him in his career, but can't go back and make A'an respect their family in everything. So A'an My daughter-in-law is a member of our family who only started to have meritorious service within the past two generations. As a daughter of a well-known family, we can help each other and protect each other. A'an's wife also thinks the same way, hoping to find a son-in-law with a well-established family. The interests of our two families are the same. A marriage is a good marriage."

Then instead of saying “shared interests”, can’t we say “shared goals”?

Pei Yan was still dissatisfied, but Tao Qing had already started asking about the Yu family. He had no time or energy to correct Tao Qing: "Who else is in Miss Yu's family? What kind of person is her father? Does he get along well with the neighbors?"

I asked a lot of questions, all kinds of questions.

Pei Yan briefly told Tao Qing about Yu Tang's family affairs.

Tao Qing said, "Look, if the Yu family insists on recruiting a son-in-law, no matter how nice you are, they won't agree. You have to solve this problem first. As for Miss Yu, if she wants to marry someone who knows business and can manage the household for her family, you have no chance. But if she wants to marry a scholar, you are definitely the best candidate." As he said this, he saw Pei Yan's face full of sullenness, as if he regarded this matter as a major event that could change the world. He knew that Pei Yan didn't like the saying "common interests", but he couldn't help teasing Pei Yan, "Isn't this 'common interests'? So, no matter what, you have to find the right method. If the method is right, it will definitely work. Don't worry."

Pei Yan nodded repeatedly, calculating quickly in his mind.

Yu Wen's side is easy to say. Their family said they were looking for a son-in-law, but they were worried that their daughter would get married and not have any brothers to support her. She would be bullied by her husband's family and would have no one to support her. Furthermore, they wanted someone to inherit the family business. Yu Bo and Yu Yuan are both good candidates for help. When these two issues are cleared up, Yu Wen will definitely agree to the marriage.

But Yu Tang's side is a bit difficult.

He had no idea what kind of person she liked or what she thought about her marriage. But Tao Qing also said that if he took this opportunity to contact Miss Yu, he would know everything.

Pei Yan was full of confidence and felt that he would definitely not be like Fei Zhiwen.

Of course, Fei Zhiwen's wife was probably not a good person either. She divorced him when they couldn't live together anymore, but she got together with a farmer and then divorced him. No wonder Fei Zhiwen was so unhappy. If it were him, he would want to die.

Pei Yan was getting a little impatient, and he wanted to send Tao Qing to see Yu Tang as soon as possible. Fortunately, he was not completely confused, and knew to ask Tao Qing what she wanted to see him about.

Tao Qing smiled and said, "I have already arranged for Wang Qibao to come. I would like to invite you to have dinner with me tonight. I wonder if you are free tonight?"

He didn't want to go out at all.

But Tao Qing had just done him a big favor and was someone he respected, so he had no choice but to agree. He also asked Tao Qing: "Do you want to invite Brother Yin as well?"

In this way, someone will block the wine for him.

When he comes back, he can go see Yu Tang.

Yin Hao was also helping the Tao family in their bid for Tao An to be appointed governor of Jiangxi, so of course he had to be invited together.

Pei Yan immediately said, "I'll send someone to call him over."

As a result, before Yin Hao had finished writing the invitation, A Cha was already waiting outside.

Mrs. Yang San knew that he was going to drink that night, and fearing that he would relax and not care about anything, she hurriedly reminded him: "Drink less tonight. You have to meet with the Gu family tomorrow, and the newly bought house has not been decided yet."

Yin Hao felt overwhelmed, and he entrusted Mrs. Yang San: "Even if you let me go to see the house, I can't see anything. Why don't you make the decision for me. Xiaguang is waiting anxiously, so I'll leave first."

Then he ran away.

Mrs. Yang had no choice but to leave Miss Xu and Yu Tang at home to prepare for the meeting with the Gu family tomorrow. She was accompanied by the fourth steward to look at the house, and she was busy until dusk when she returned home hungry.

Miss Xu and Yu Tang had already finished dinner and were sitting on the beauty chair under the eaves, enjoying the cool air while talking in a brocade brocade: "...If Miss Yin does not live in the capital in the future, Gu Chaoyang will definitely not be able to enter the gates of the capital's noble families, and it will be very troublesome. I don't care about others, I just want to know how you can enter the capital? Otherwise, your family can also open a lacquerware shop in the capital? You can take Yin Mingyuan's name card to the government, and they dare not trouble your family. And when you go to the capital, you will know more people, and it will be easier to find a suitable son-in-law. Lin'an is still too small. All the capable people have left."

Yu Tang doesn't have such big ambitions. She just hopes that all those who harmed her in her previous life will suffer misfortune.

She listened and laughed, "It's not up to me to decide. Besides, the weather in the capital is too cold, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the climate there. At most, we want to open a shop in Hangzhou. The capital is still too far away."

Miss Xu said, "Then go find Pei Xiaguang. If he hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have known that Lord Qin was going to be transferred to the capital. He is well-informed. Ask him for a business card and do business in Hangzhou. No one will dare to mess with your family."

That depends on how much money Jiang Chao's business can make.

If they had enough capital, they should open a branch in Hangzhou.

Yu Tang was thinking about it, and looked up to see Madam Yang San walking in, supported by a maid.

She smiled and stood up to greet Mrs. Yang San, asking her if she had had dinner yet. Knowing that she had not yet had dinner, she asked Ah Fu to tell the servant at the stove. She also stood there and asked Mrs. Yang San whether her trip went smoothly, which house she decided to buy, etc., before she stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Yang San liked Yu Tang more and more, and she was thinking about whether she should wait until she finished arranging the engagement between the Yin and Gu families and then help Yu Tang find a better family.

Miss Xu naturally applauded.

Yu Tang, who was completely unaware of this, found out as soon as she returned to the house that Pei Yan, who came to see her, was sitting in the living room waiting for her.

Yu Tang curiously asked Qing Yuan who came to report to her: "Didn't the Third Elder go out for a drink with the First Elder Tao and Lord Yin?"

Why do you come to see her at this time?
