Because the Pei family had to keep filial piety behind closed doors, they couldn't do things like asking for information too obviously, so it took a little longer than other families to gain trust. By the time they heard the news, Chu Yuniang had already entered the East Palace, officially

Liang Yuan was canonized and the news came out that the Crown Princess valued her very much.

Second Master Pei, Third Master Pei, no longer cared about his filial piety, and quickly sent his confidants to quietly contact the friend who introduced them to the Tang family, hoping to ask them to find out about the Tang family's tone. At the same time, he also

Reminding the Tang family, since they received heavy gifts, how can they break the promise now? The Chu family's daughter entered the palace as soon as she entered the palace, but how can she stop bringing in new people from now on? The Tang family had promised to let the Pei family

From the female east palace!

The person the Pei family contacted at the beginning was actually not Tang Lao Shangshu, Mrs. Tang, or their son and daughter-in-law, but Tang Lao Shangshu's direct nephew. He could also be regarded as the master who became an official in the imperial examination and got married and established a family. Speaking of which, in

The words of the Tang family also carry some weight. His wife also has a good relationship with her sisters-in-law, and Mrs. Tang values ​​her. Logically speaking, if this person wants to recommend a girl from another family to the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess will generally not

I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

Unfortunately, the Crown Princess has been ill for several months. During this period, Mrs. Tang often failed to get permission to enter the palace to see her daughter, let alone the Crown Princess's cousin and cousin-in-law. The latter also

Before he had time to recommend Miss Pei to the Crown Princess, the old Duke Pei died first. Since the Pei family wanted to observe filial piety, there was no way to talk about entering the palace. If Miss Pei missed the opportunity, it was the fate of the Pei family. No wonder

Others, the Tang family's nephew, didn't take this matter too seriously. As for the heavy gift, it was just that there were a few ancient paintings in it that he thought were good, so he readily accepted them. But the ancient paintings did not

It is not a very rare and precious thing. If the Pei family intends to use this to blackmail him into doing something, he would rather return the gift.

The nephew of the Tang family did not speak politely to the Pei family who came to the door, and he also disliked them for wearing filial piety, which was too unlucky. However, he frankly told the Pei brothers that the death of Duke Pei was not at the right time, otherwise he would have let his wife go

The second girl Pei was recommended to the crown princess. It was precisely because the second girl Pei lost the qualification for the draft that the crown prince chose Chu Yuniang. At this time, his cousin did not even have the confidence to complain about the crown princess.

Now is no longer the time for the Crown Princess to do whatever she wants. His Highness the Crown Prince has personally said that he will not take any more concubines. The Crown Princess and the Tang family can only accept it and will never advise the Crown Prince to take more concubines.

This is the principle of beauty. Since the Pei family is hopeless, there is no need to bother with it in the future. It is better to stay at home and observe filial piety. This is the etiquette that a family like the Duke's Mansion should have. As for the gift, he will return it and will not take advantage of Pei.

This is cheap.

When Mr. Pei heard this, his face turned pale. He wanted to say something, but he didn't have the guts to be so bold in the Tang family. They still changed their clothes today and came to the door quietly to conceal their presence. If anyone knew about the two brothers,

When a person visits the Tang family during the period of filial piety, the imperial censors will definitely have something to say, and the old minister of Tang will also be unhappy. Elderly people always have more taboos than ordinary people.

Second Master Pei is a little smarter than his brother. Of course he feels bad that the heavy gift was wasted, but he can never take it back! The niece’s entry into the palace has come to nothing. If he is reluctant to part with the property, he will

Taking it back would definitely offend the nephew of the Tang family. If it were Mr. Pei himself, how could he throw away the things that fell into his hands so readily? Even if he didn't say anything, he would still hold a grudge in his heart. The nephew of the Tang family would definitely

The same is true. Mr. Pei plans not to mention the withdrawal of the heavy gift and allows the other party to continue to keep it. Then maybe the other party can leave a good impression on the Pei family. In the future, when their brother Xiaoman is reunited, the other party will be willing to help.

Otherwise, relying on the connections left by your late father for everything is really beneficial, but it will only benefit the eldest brother first. When will it be the turn of the two brothers?

Second Master Pei grabbed his brother and politely told the nephew of the Tang family that the gift was a meeting gift, not a thank you gift for asking him to help him with something, and there was no reason to take it back. His niece lost the opportunity to enter the East Palace.

She was not blessed, so she would never complain at all. But since the two families already knew each other, they could be considered friends. After Xiaoman was released, the friends should continue to communicate with each other. Their father also collected a lot of money during his lifetime.

There are not many people in my family who are good at famous paintings and monuments, so I might have to ask them to help appraise them in the future.

The nephew of the Tang family listened happily and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say." His impression of the second master Pei was much better. It was not his fault that the second girl Pei could not enter the palace. This kind of mistake happened

The result is something no one wants. The Pei family can still maintain their rationality and distinguish right from wrong, so they can be friends. He is also very interested in Pei Guogong's collection. If he can add a few more good calligraphy and paintings to himself,

He didn't mind continuing to communicate with the Pei family, so as to avoid those calligraphy and paintings falling into the hands of the ignorant Pei brothers.

The second master Pei and the third master Pei did not stay in the Tang family for too long before they left. As soon as the brothers got into the carriage, their expressions dropped. The long-awaited plan was ruined, and both of them felt a little sad.

Accept it. Thinking about the future, they feel even more at a loss.

Third Master Pei also complained about his elder brother: "Why didn't my second brother get back the gift he gave me? He actually said it was a meeting gift and there was no reason to take it back. Do you know how much money that heavy gift cost me?! How many years have I spent?"

All my savings are on it! I even lost two of my beloved calligraphy and paintings! If it was really useful, that’s all. Now that the bamboo basket has been empty and I haven’t got anything back, wouldn’t I have suffered a big loss?!”

Second Master Pei reluctantly explained to him, but Third Master Pei still couldn't figure it out: "What's the point? I'm just a prison student, and I've never been an official. How else can the Tang family cause trouble for me?"

Second Master Pei's heart suffocated and he was secretly angry. Third Master Pei was not afraid of the Tang family's revenge, but he still had an official position! Third Master Pei was not afraid, he was, okay?!

However, this cannot be said clearly. Mr. Pei could only say tactfully: "My niece will get married if she cannot enter the palace. My nephew will also go to school in the future. If you offend the Tang family, the children will definitely be affected.

."

Third Master Pei said with some sadness and indignation: "No matter how prominent the Tang family is, it is still not to the point where it can cover the sky with one hand! At worst, I will let my son switch to Shoushanbo!"

Second Master Pei couldn't help but curl his lips: "Why is Uncle Shoushan protecting you? My eldest niece has offended the apple of my eye a lot!"

Third Master Pei was a little disapproving: "Uncle Shoushan is an in-law of the Qin family, and we are also in-laws of the Qin family. We are all relatives. What can't we say? It's just a common thing for children to have a quarrel. Who would really let it go?

Not in your heart? What's more, the big house is the big house, and we are us, how can we be confused?"

But whether it is the Yu family of the Shoushan Earl's Mansion, the Qin family of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, or the Yongjia Marquis' Mansion, they are all in-laws of Dafang!

Seeing that his brother couldn't make sense, Mr. Pei felt depressed and didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He closed his eyes and rested in silence while thinking about the next step.

When Third Master Pei saw this, although he stopped making trouble with him, he felt very unhappy. He felt that his second brother's attitude towards him was not as close as before. Could it be... because his daughter could not enter the palace?

Is that so? But their brothers have always been close, and the second brother’s behavior is too chilling...

There seemed to be another turmoil within the Pei family, and the second room of the Qin family also received an urgent message from the dowry girl sent by Qin Jinyi. They were very shocked that the second girl Pei had entered the palace to take a bath.

Qin Bofu and Mrs. Xue were quite confident that Miss Pei would become a concubine in the East Palace before, because the Pei family had repeatedly said that they had opened up the Tang family's connections. Now the prince has spoken in person, and no one has any connections.

It no longer works. Miss Pei missed the best opportunity because of her filial piety. She can only give up the idea of ​​entering the palace in the future and find another family to marry. At first glance, the Pei family's loss does not seem to be big, but

Qin Bofu still felt very unlucky, and he was a little glad that he had not really promised anything to the Pei family, but he got an official position in vain. The eldest daughter married to the Pei family, which was a bit of a loss, but at least he was marrying off this difficult daughter.

Qin Bofu complained in his heart, but he was not too sad.

Mrs.

Qin Jinyi should not be allowed to rush into the Pei family, even if she decides to get married first and then get married next year. Then she can think of an excuse to break off the engagement now. However, Qin Jinyi has already met Pei Cheng, and the only thing left is

It’s just that the marriage has not been consummated. Even if she is reunited after a divorce, she is already a woman who has been married once. It is almost impossible to find a good marriage. She has been picky for several years, and she actually married her eldest grandson.

How could she not regret having chosen such a family?

While Mrs. Xue cried bitterly, she remembered that it was her son who had agreed to the marriage after listening to the flattery of the Pei family, so she pulled her son back, scolding her and crying. Little Mrs. Xue was sweating profusely and helped to smooth things over.

The resentment in Qin Bofu's heart became deeper and deeper.

It was true that he had intended to agree to the marriage, but he had no intention of letting his daughter get married. He just wanted to get engaged first. He was eager to let Qin Jinyi marry him and helped Qin Jinyi deceive the Pei family. Wasn't it his mother, Mrs. Xue?! If

Without the Xue family, how could Qin Jinyi fool the Pei family so easily? How come it has become his responsibility now?!

The second room of the Qin family also had a dispute, which gave Xiao Xue a headache. However, Qin Jinchun did not get involved. Now she was a little worried about Princess Minshun, so she tried to send a message to the East Palace. I wonder if it was because the princess was in a good mood.

, or perhaps because the Crown Princess and Princess Minshun had reconciled, this time, Qin Jinchun successfully obtained the permission to enter the East Palace. She immediately tidied herself up and entered the palace.

Princess Minshun seemed to be in good spirits, and there was no indication of happiness or anger on her expression. When she saw Qin Jinchun coming, she greeted her kindly: "Long time no see, you look good. Are you busy preparing your dowry recently?"

You haven’t been here for such a long time, but you heard the news about our East Palace and came here specifically to see the excitement?”

Qin Jinchun broke into cold sweat after saying a few words.
