However, Pei Yan still felt that the young lady of the Yu family was very smart and clever. He had just given her an idea, but she was able to draw inferences and come up with many ideas.

I copied this picture several times, thanks to her for coming up with this idea...

Pei Yan touched his chin and suddenly thought that this was a good idea.

It is indeed taboo to eat alone in business. People who have such thoughts usually find it difficult to become successful merchants. Although he explained to the father and daughter of the Yu family how precious this map is, the father and daughter of the Yu family may not have a true feeling. Only those wealthy families doing maritime business know.

Pei Yan thought about it and made a list of people to invite to take photos of the map. He said to Yu Wen and Yu Tang, "What are your plans? Do you want to keep a copy of the map?"

Or throw them all out.

Through this incident, he also saw clearly that although the people of the Yu family were clear-minded, they were also timid and did not like adventure.

Yu Wen and Yu Tang once again said the same thing. However, Yu Wen said "Of course not to keep him", while Yu Tang said "Of course to keep him".

For the first time, the father and daughter had a disagreement and couldn't help but look at each other.

Pei Yan was also quite surprised.

Yu Wen's reaction was within his expectations, but Yu Tang's reaction was beyond his expectations.

He couldn't help but ask Yu Tang: "What do you mean?"

Of course, Yu Tang knew that it was best to throw the blame away, but she had really had enough of it these days. No, it should be said that she had had enough in her previous life.

The Li family only has a few educated people, but they can influence the fate of the Yu family.

She had truly experienced the experience of a prefect whose family was wiped out.

This incident was both a crisis and an opportunity for the Yu family.

With this map, their family would have the opportunity to come into contact with the aristocratic families of the time.

If done right, you can even get a piece of the pie from them.

But she also knew that the Yu family was not good enough.

The best way for her to avoid being devoured by these aristocratic families was to find an ally.

Although Yu Tang had just stopped her father from passing the blame to Pei Yan, she deeply agreed with what her father said.

In this matter, their family must be tied together with the Pei family, so that they can have a chance to get out of it unscathed. Only then can they use this as an opportunity to gain even a little bit of say, so that no one can bully their Yu family anymore.

Therefore, the most important thing for Yu Tang at this time is to convince Pei Yan.

Not only must he be persuaded to help the Yu family, but he must also be persuaded to take the Yu family with him when he becomes rich.

Only by joining the Pei family could their family take this opportunity to develop and grow. Only then could her nephews and nieces study and become officials, and only then could they have the possibility of having officials for generations.

I wonder how the Pei family got started?

Although Yu Tang thought a lot, it was only a matter of a moment. In fact, Pei Yan saw her thinking for a moment, and then said to him: "Today it is the Li family, tomorrow it may be the Wang family, or the Chen family. I don't want our Yu family to always be like this, unable to fight back against anything. Master Pei San, I know you are a reasonable person. I have an idea and I want to hear your opinion first."

This means that I want to seize this opportunity to turn my family around!

Pei Yan has always admired those who never give up and are positive. Yu Tang's words did not disgust him. Instead, he felt that this girl was very tenacious. No matter what happened, as long as there was a slight possibility, she would grab it. The only shortcoming might be that she was too young and was restricted by the family, so she did not have much experience.

If he trained her and let her control the Li family... Pei Yan found it very interesting just thinking about it.

"You say!" He spoke in a gentle tone, with an indulgence in his eyes that he himself was not aware of.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

She could now vaguely sense Pei Yan's emotions from some of his small movements and tone.

Pei Yan was obviously very happy at this time.

Although I don’t know what to be happy about…

Yu Tang said hurriedly: "I know the Pei family doesn't care about these. But no matter what, we are also from Lin'an. We were protected by Old Lady Pei in the past, and now we are also favored by you. It may be a bit bad to say this, but it is what I really think. I want to share our family's map with the Pei family, and I want the Pei family to help us make money so that we can have money to send our children to school and have a better background."

It is impossible for Pei Yan not to be tempted by this, but he feels that although the maritime business can make a lot of money, the risks are also high. Most importantly, it is very troublesome. There are too many links to connect and too many trivial things to do. He has no intention of wasting his limited time on this.

He said without thinking, "We don't have enough manpower to do this business. If you are interested, I can introduce you to a partner."

This is a polite refusal.

Yu Tang was very surprised. She felt that Pei Yan was not such a person. But when she saw his expression, she found it very sincere and it was obvious that he really didn't want to do this business.

Is it because you don’t know how lucrative this business is?

She couldn't help but say, "Third Master, we only trust you. Why don't you find out about the maritime business before making a decision?"

Pei Yan laughed and said, "I have a senior brother who is from Guangzhou. His family is engaged in this business. Otherwise, how could I tell at a glance that this is a map of the sea from Guangzhou?"

Yu Tang blushed and tried to persuade Pei Yan, but Pei Yan said, "Your family also knows what to do and what not to do. We, the Pei family, also have our ancestral teachings. Miss Yu, please don't say more. If you agree to let me introduce you to a partner, I will call him over when the auction starts, and you can meet him before the auction."

The Pei family had suffered in the past from being too prominent.

Their family motto is to make a fortune quietly.

He would never wade into such muddy water!

Yu Tang was unwilling to give up, but Yu Wen felt that Pei Yan had done his best and should not trouble the Pei family any more. He waved his hand at Yu Tang, signaling her to stop talking, and then said to Pei Yan: "The money from the auction will be seven for you and three for us."

Pei Yan laughed and said, "Do you know how much money we might be able to get from the auction?"

This was the first time Yu Tang saw Pei Yan laugh.

Unlike his smile with curled corners of his mouth, he looks relaxed and comfortable when he laughs. Not only does he not appear frivolous, but he makes people feel mature, reliable and down-to-earth, which is completely different from the bright and dazzling smile when his mouth is curled up.

How could someone be like this?

Yu Tang blinked.

Is this another side of him that no one knows about?

Yu Wen said sincerely, "Master Pei San, although I don't know much about the affairs of the people, I also know that without you, those aristocratic families would not be able to participate in the auction in an orderly manner. The fact that the Yutu was stolen is a small matter. It is a great fortune for our family to be able to survive, not to mention how much money we can get. This matter is all thanks to you. If you don't agree, we will not auction this Yutu. You can keep the Yutu, whether you burn it, throw it away, or give it away, it has nothing to do with our family. We will just pretend that this Yutu does not exist."

Pei Yan was unhappy.

Yu Tang immediately comforted him and said, "Third Master, my father is speechless, please don't be angry. We all know that you did all these things to protect our family, and my father said this to repay you. Apart from anything else, if you let Doctor Yang Yu come to check my mother's pulse every month, we would like to set up a longevity tablet for you."

Longevity and tablets? What a mess!

Pei Yan interrupted her and said, "These things are just a piece of cake for me, you don't have to do this."

Yu Tang could see that he was sincere, and didn't know whether to say he was too stupid or too fame-seeking, so he had to change his words and said, "In that case, we will follow your arrangements."

Pei Yan's face brightened slightly, and he served tea to the guests, saying, "I have news here, and I'll let Pei Man inform you."

Yu Tang looked at him, then pulled Yu Wen up and said goodbye.

Yu Wen couldn't help but blame her: "How could you talk to the Third Elder like that just now? If he says he doesn't want it, then we really won't give it to him? Who will dare to help our family in the future?"

Yu Tang explained, "You just saw that Third Elder really doesn't want any benefits from our family. Besides, Third Elder originally wanted to help us. If he accepted our benefits, wouldn't this matter be distorted? You want reputation, but Third Elder doesn't want it? I think that instead of making Third Elder unhappy by making trouble like you did, you should think about how to repay Third Elder in the future."

"But the Third Elder has everything he needs, right?" Yu Wen said helplessly, "Didn't we find a chance to repay him before?"

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Isn't this better? In the future, we will have an excuse to give him gifts every year. He can't just not give us this little face. Besides, if he doesn't accept it, will the third wife not accept it in the future? If the third wife doesn't accept it, will his descendants not accept it in the future? Maybe because of this, our family can get in touch with the Pei family, and a bad thing can turn into a good thing!"

If you want to ask for help from others, you have to be thick-skinned.

"That's all we can do!" Yu Wen sighed.

When the two returned home, Yu Yuan was waiting for them in the yard.

"Uncle, sister." He came forward and helped Yu Wen into the house, saying, "I came here after I cleaned up the shop. Why did you and sister suddenly go to Pei's house? What happened?"

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan went to the study to talk.

After hearing the whole story, Yu Yuan was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He looked at Yu Tang with admiration and said with emotion: "How can you be so brave? What if Master Pei San doesn't agree to help? What if Master Pei San also covets that map?"

That person is so noble, how could he do such a thing?

But she didn't want to say so much to her eldest cousin, and instead smiled and said, "But the facts prove that I am still a little lucky. Master Pei San not only helped us, but he is also a man of integrity, chivalry and courage. He is a man I can trust with my life."

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Yu Yuan even sighed: "Amei is a blessed person."

Yu Wen thought about it and it was true. He agreed: "Your sister is indeed lucky."

Yu Tang smiled bitterly.

Her luck was earned by sacrificing her life in her previous life and by her refusal to accept her fate in this life.

Maybe after being reborn, her luck has indeed improved.

Then she should not waste such good luck. She should not only change her own destiny, but also change the destiny of her family.
