The villain in Yu Tang’s heart is dancing.

She didn't expect Pei Yan to be so easy to talk to. She made up a few sentences that she didn't even believe, but Pei Yan didn't ask any questions and told her the news she wanted to know.

Although he had mistaken her for a scam in the pawnshop, he only gave her a few words of admonition when he found out that she was threatening Lu Xin by threatening the Pei family. Also, when she was chased by those hooligans in the old house of the Yu family, he saved her, and when he saw someone from the Yu family coming, he left without saying a word. It can be seen that he is only indifferent on the outside, but in fact he is still very willing to help others.

However, Yu Tang felt that he could still understand Pei Yan.

He represents the Pei family, and his status is not ordinary. If he is enthusiastic and sincere to everyone, wouldn't everyone come to him to ask for help? Will he help or not? Some people know how to be grateful and will remember the favor of the Pei family in their hearts, like them. But more people see you easily agree to help, and think that you are just a simple effort, and it is your due if you succeed, but if you fail, you will be blamed.

In her previous life, she had seen a lot of things like this.

Pei Yan must have some means of protecting himself.

Before, Yu Tang thought Pei Yan was too arrogant towards the people who respected him, but he no longer thinks so now.

She was filled with gratitude and said quickly, "Okay, okay. I'll remember it all."

Pei Yan looked at her sparkling eyes looking at him, her face seemed to be glowing, he felt as if he saw the little white dog that his mother kept by her side, which would look at him with trust and expectation every time it saw him... Pei Yan couldn't help but curl his lips.

From what Yu Wen said, isn't she quite smart? Why does she believe everything he says? Judging from the look in her eyes, Yu Wen probably can't refuse her, no wonder he lets her run around outside.

Pei Yan frowned and felt that he had to help Yu Wen take care of this little girl.

He asked, "Are you planning to invest in a fleet with Master Wu? Have you decided which fleet you want to invest in? How much silver are you planning to invest? Or are you planning to invest in goods?"

After listening to this, Yu Tang was about to kneel down to Pei Yan.

This was information she had tried many ways to find out but to no avail. From Pei Yan's tone, it seemed that he was very familiar with all this?

Opportunity is fleeting, once lost it will never come back!

Yu Tang was too busy to think about it and said hurriedly, "I haven't decided whether to invest with Master Wu, but I just heard about this business. You may not know that my family is in the lacquerware business and we don't know anything about the business on the sea. My brother said that we should go and find out about it." Then she said schemingly, "I don't know if my brother can find out anything? We don't know anyone in Hangzhou except Tong Er, the shopkeeper."

Just ask him if you want to, why do you come up with so many reasons!

Pei Yan glanced at Yu Tang.

The displeasure was beyond words.

Yu Tang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the conversation between the two of them just now.

Does Pei Yan like to be straightforward?

This is very possible!

He meets so many people every day, and his time is precious. If everyone is so "tactful" in front of him, he will have to guess their intentions until his head is bald.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn't help but look up at Pei Yan's head.

Pei Yan's hair was thick and dark, and stood up at the roots, showing that it was coarse and hard. The maids said that people like him usually had bad tempers. In her experience, people with bad tempers were usually kind-hearted.

These thoughts flashed through Yu Tang's mind, and she spoke up intuitively: "If Third Elder is not in a hurry to go back, I would like to take this opportunity to ask Third Elder, do you have any fleets or businesses to recommend in Hangzhou?"

There are many ways to invest in a maritime business. Some people directly take money to find a fleet, while others invest with some big merchants. These merchants usually invest in barter.

Pei Yan's face brightened slightly.

He really didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters.

It's great that Yu Tang can make his request clearly.

He said, "The merchants in Hangzhou boast that they are the best city in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are very arrogant. Everyone is proud of making money from the imperial court. The business on the sea is just a way for them to do it at will. If your family is interested in doing this business, you have to go to Suzhou. There are many people doing this business there. Several larger shops, such as Sihai Silk Shop, Yipinxiang Spice Shop, and Jingde Porcelain Shop, have dealings with the fleet in Ningbo. However, I don't know more specifically. If you want to ask about the fleet that has recently gone out to sea, I will ask your brother to ask Pei Man later."

This was really easy to come by!

If it weren't for the wrong identity and the wrong timing, she would have kowtowed to Pei Yan.

"Okay, okay!" Yu Tang thought about how Pei Yan had helped her so much, and nodded and fawned on him, hoping that she could do something to repay Pei Yan so that she would feel at ease.

Pei Yan felt relieved to see that she was obedient and he told her a few more words like "I will say hello to Pei Man, you can just go find him directly when the time comes", then he got on the sedan chair that came to pick him up and went back home.

Tong, the shopkeeper, immediately came over with concern and said, "What did you say to the Third Elder just now? I think the Third Elder looks pretty good!"

Yu Tang immediately praised Pei Yan and told the manager Tong the news he had learned from Pei Yan.

The shopkeeper Tong was very surprised.

Pei Yan is really not a man who is easy to talk to. The fact that he can treat Miss Yu like this shows that he respects Yu Wen very much and values ​​the Yu family very much.

"That's good!" Tong, the shopkeeper, was afraid that Yu Tang didn't know what was good for her, so he told her, "When the third master was young, he followed the old lady around the country. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and has a very good vision. Since he said so, remember to tell your brother and ask him to find the chief steward as soon as possible."

"I'll remember it!" Yu Tang thanked the shopkeeper Tong again and again and returned home happily.

Yu Yuan knew that Yu Tang had met Pei Yan by chance and asked Pei Yan for advice on his business. He was happy but also a little scared. He secretly encouraged himself for a long time before finding Pei Man.

Pei Man had received Pei Yan's instructions, so he naturally told Yu Yuan everything he knew, allowing Yu Yuan to have a general understanding of the merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even knew a lot about the fleets in Fujian and Guangzhou.

After returning home, he kept sighing to Yu Tang: "I used to be dissatisfied. Why can other families do such a big business, but our family can't? Now it seems that our family is really a million miles away from these aristocratic families. I won't set such high goals anymore. If I can find a way to let your nephews and nieces study in this life, and make the business in Hangzhou City, so that your nephews can take a step further on my shoulders, my life will be complete."

A newborn ox is not afraid of a tiger.

Old teachers are all very timid.

Yu Tang smiled and asked Yu Yuan, "Brother, should we invest with Master Wu?

Yu Yuan said, "Not only can we not buy shares, but we also have to tell Master Wu." At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the fleet in Ningbo this time is to compete with the Sihai Silk Shop in Suzhou. It is a temporary team. According to the opinion of General Manager Pei, we must be cautious."

Sihai Qisuan Manor? Yu Tang felt that the name sounded very familiar when Pei Yangang mentioned it.

She thought about it carefully and said, "Is Sihai Silk Shop the imperial merchant?"

They have many branches. The one in Hangzhou is right next to Pei’s pawnshop. Yu Tang has some impression of it.

In their previous life, their fleet had always been the best fleet in Jiangnan. It was not until the rise of the Jiang family that their family fell into decline. Before that, any merchant who competed with their family had never had a good ending.

"That's the one." Yu Yuan also had an impression of it. He nodded and said, "Si Hai Qi Si Zhuang is one of the largest merchants in Suzhou. He organized several fleets in a row, and the fleets returned safely. He made a lot of money, which made many old merchants jealous, so they joined together to form this fleet."

"We have to tell Master Wu about this," Yu Tang said nervously. "Master Wu has been very kind to our family and has helped us many times. We can't just sit there and watch Master Wu's money go to waste."

Yu Yuan meant the same thing. After leaving the Yu family, he went to the Wu family.

Mr. Wu was moved by his cousin and could not be convinced by Yu Yuan's few words, but Pei Yan's reputation still made him hesitate. He originally planned to invest 5,000 taels of silver, but changed it to 1,000 taels.

His cousin was very dissatisfied, but in the end the fleet never returned, and his cousin lost everything and became destitute, which made him sweat profusely. From then on, Mr. Wu obeyed Pei Yan's words and became Pei Yan's most loyal supporter in Lin'an City. No one expected this.

Yu Yuan actually went to Suzhou City to inquire about the business at sea to see if the Yu family had any chance to get involved. As for Yu Tang, she asked someone to inquire about the Peng family in Fujian. She compared it with what she knew in her previous life and felt that the people behind the Li family were most likely the Peng family.

This reminded Yu Tang of something.

After Li Duan married Gu Xi and had a son, Lin felt that her grandson had a more prominent status. She even wanted to marry Li Duan's eldest son to a legitimate daughter of the Peng family. Gu Xi thought that the child was too young and it was not a good time to tell whether he was a good person or not. She also advised Lin: "The Peng family and the Pei family are not on the same page. If we do this, the Pei family will probably be unhappy. Otherwise, I will find an opportunity to visit the old lady of the Pei family and see what the Pei family thinks?"

Later the matter was dropped.

I wonder if it was because Gu Xi used this as an excuse to dissuade Lin from the idea? Or was it because the Pei family had some complaints about this matter?

But one thing is definitely true.

The Peng family and the Pei family are not on good terms.

Were they already at odds at that time? Or did something happen later that caused a rift? Yu Tang didn't know.

The easiest way is to ask Pei Yan directly.

But will Pei Yan tell her?

Yu Tang was a little hesitant.

I thought of those things from my previous life again.

In her previous life, didn't she also think that she would have to live in the Li family forever? But she refused to accept it and actively fought, struggled, and planned. Didn't she walk out of the Li family with dignity?

If you just think about things over and over in your mind without trying, you will never accomplish anything!

This time, Yu Tang still wore servant's clothes and went to see Pei Yan.
