Pei Yunqi was still sleeping happily, but was woken up by Gu Liubai and was angry. He thought to himself that it was you, a bastard, that made me go to bed all the time. If I don’t sleep well, my skin will be bad. What if I don’t feel that it’s so slippery to the touch.
But I heard that it was possible that Duke Pei was coming, so she got up in an instant.
After all, she is naturally beautiful, unlike some ladies in Chang'an who have to rely on rouge and powder to accumulate. After washing her face, she suddenly became so sensible, which made Gu Liubai's eyes a little terrible.
"My father is here, what other bad thoughts do you dare to make?"
When Pei Yunqi saw his eyes, he suddenly felt that this person was extremely brave.
"Look at what you said, what bad intentions can I have." Gu Liubai didn't dare to be arrogant. While listening carefully to the movement outside the door, he whispered, "I just wanted to tell you that the method of raising a sword is wonderful. I understood the secret sword that my senior brother gave me last night."
"Pooh!"
Pei Yunqiu felt that he was bragging. She had seen the sword that pierced the clouds in the sky with her own eyes and burst into a huge vortex.
She didn't believe that Gu Liubai had completely understood and understood that amazing secret sword in the middle of the night.
It was almost the same that she almost penetrated her.
The footsteps started to sound.
When Pei Yunqi suddenly felt guilty when he heard the footsteps, he couldn't help but remind Gu Liubai softly, "It's really my father."
"What's your father? That's not our father."
Gu Liubai immediately responded softly.
This sentence instantly filled Pei Yunqi with a bowl of ecstasy soup, and Pei Yunqi felt that his bones were lighter.
A nice fat man walked into Gu Liubai's yard.
Judging from his figure, it looks a bit similar to Xu Tuibei.
However, Duke Pei was wearing a court wardrobe with green and nine-chapter patterns today. Even though he looked kind, the court wardrobe was filled with majesty.
The temperament is not similar at all.
Xu Tui's back was full of ruffian spirit, and he looked like a hob meat that was not afraid of the world when he saw everyone, but Duke Pei seemed to smile with a gentle smile on his face, which was a bit similar to Chen Tu now.
After looking at it, Gu Liubai was not slow to react, so he saluted seriously and said, "Duke Pei?"
Duke Pei replied with a gift, but he seemed to be confused about the title.
"Dad!" Pei Yunqi hadn't seen this old fox for a long time. She was a little nervous at first, but now when she saw this gentle and smiling old face, she was no longer nervous and deliberately shouted with a stern face.
When she called him like this, Duke Pei was no longer confused and smiled and said, "Good daughter, what should I call him? Should I call him Mr. Ningxi or his son-in-law?"
This hit Pei Yunqi's heart again.
Pei Yunqiu thought that even if he had a stern face, he couldn't even get up.
She suddenly laughed, "You have a set in the yard, and you are still worried about how to call someone?"
Prince Pei laughed, looked around, and said to Gu Liubai, "Does the son-in-law have anything to eat? I'll come here early and haven't eaten anything yet. Why don't we eat and chat?"
Gu Liubai has seen many people in the open, and he is not nervous at this time. "That's not simple. Just order whatever you want. Mingyue Restaurant can deliver it later."
"Don't make such trouble, eat whatever you want." Duke Pei Guoshi sat down when he saw Pei Yunqi pulling the chair, and even tsk his mouth, "It's useful to follow you. Everyone knows that I've brought a chair for me. I used to wish I could bring her a chair."
Pei Yunqi suddenly sneered, "That's sure it will be useful to follow him. I can still grab my yard with him. I will almost become an orphan with you."
Duke Pei smiled and said, "You still hold a grudge against these things? That's all for your own good."
Pei Yunqiu looked speechless, "You let someone bully me, and you said you're good for me?"
"Why don't you think?" At this moment, Duke Pei was shocked when he saw the fifth prince who came over with a few big bowls with wooden plates and jumped up immediately, "Fifth Prince, do you bring these things to me? Are you serving me? Do you want me to be chopped up?"
The fifth prince also pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Duke Pei Guoyu only thinks that I have the identity of the fifth prince. Gu Shiwu and your daughter really don't take me, the Li family's direct line seriously."
"That's because I didn't discipline myself well. I'm sorry to the fifth prince. Fifth prince, please sit down quickly." Duke Pei really looked like he was in the palace and hurriedly asked the fifth prince to sit down.
The fifth prince was also happy, "Duke Pei, is it appropriate for me to sit here and listen to your family?"
"Eat quickly." Gu Liubai was speechless.
If you want to go as serious as Princess Huaizhen, the sauce and noodles soup is still being pulled when it is cold.
The fifth prince immediately took the bowl honestly and started eating, as if you continued to say just now, don't worry about me.
"Then you give me a judge, see if I'm right." Duke Pei also started eating and said, "You don't know how lazy my little ancestor was when he was a child. He slept in and loved to use others every day. He also liked to find evil ways to learn things. Sometimes he was too lazy to sleep and didn't wash his feet. Many times, she fell asleep and I washed her. You don't know, the smell of sour bamboo shoots."
"You!" Pei Yunqi's face turned red in an instant, "What are you doing today? Are you here to cut off the relationship between father and daughter?"
Gu Liubai tried hard to laugh.
Duke Pei was so happy, and then said, "But she is also likable. Since I was a child, I knew that the words were right. The more I thought about it, the more wrong I was thinking about it, and if I continued like this, I was ordered by her. Then don't raise a second-generation ancestor who is lawless and incompetent in the future?"
Pei Yun said with a tiger face: "Then have you thought of such a good way? Let that Jin Yanhua bully me and let me have my tail stomped over so many years?"
Pei Guogong nodded seriously and said, "I really want you to know that you are afraid. I deliberately let you live with your tails for so many years. I think so. If you don't live with your tails for so many years, you won't know that in the future, almost everyone in Chang'an City will live with your tails, and you don't know how to be polite to those servants with your tails. You say how good you are now, you know how to stand in other people's positions when doing things. You look at the individuals I sent to you, and now they are all made unrecognizable by you. If I didn't want such a bad move back then, what would you look like? Can you still share life and death with your sweetheart in Heishawa?"
"snort!"
Pei Yun snorted heavily, but she did not refute this time.
"Son-in-law, do you think my approach is right?" Duke Pei looked at Gu Liubai and said with a smile.
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I don't know. I'm afraid of it anyway. If she says it's right, she says it's right, if she says it's wrong."
"??" Duke Pei did not expect that there were people in this world who were shameless than him.
He looked at Gu Liubai for a while and couldn't help but sigh, "I've never seen someone who gave him a yard. He even echoed me and looked at my wife's face."
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I have never seen the second one."
Duke Pei continued to eat, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He finished a bowl of noodles in just a few bites, and then looked at Pei Yunqi and said, "I heard that your sister is here too."
Pei Yunqi nodded and said, "It's here, but the room in this small yard is not enough, so she lives in Mingyue Pavilion. We also go there to do things during the day. Do you want me to call her over?"
"If I want her to come together, I just called her to come together. I didn't want her to come over on purpose. I'll just go over and meet her alone." Duke Pei said with a smile, "Yun Hua is different from you. If you want so many people to talk about her, she is too thin-skinned and maybe she will run away if she runs out."
When Pei Yunhua was mentioned, Gu Liubai felt a little guilty.
At this time, he remembered that if he said that if he could raise the sword intent, Pei Yunhua would be the first to help him raise the sword intent.
At this time, Duke Pei was already looking at him with a smile and said, "I know that the old lady in the family had been tricked, which made my eldest daughter practice the Yin-Yang Tianyu Sutra. Our family will not hide it. I will ask you, have you done anything excessive to Yunhua?"
"…!" Gu Liubai felt that there might not be a second father-in-law like this in the world, so how could he ask the son-in-law if he had any such daughter in front of him?
Fortunately, he had already confessed honestly to Pei Yunqi before, so he looked at Duke Pei who was waiting patiently and honestly said, "Yes, but not many, not that much."
When Duke Pei heard this, he couldn't help but pat his thighs.
This answer is really amazing.
"What are you asking this in front of the fifth prince?" Pei Yunqi glared at Duke Pei and said, "My sister is innocent with him."
"The Fifth Prince is a testimony." Duke Pei sighed, "I just said that in Chang'an, I have to be a human being with my tail at all times. Some things are not caring about, but I have to understand the rules and reasoning. You said that if Yun Hua and the third prince's engagement have not been resolved, and she and my second son-in-law have already made their stomachs bigger. What if they make a fuss about this for those who are interested, do you think that Li can think that nothing has happened?"
The fifth prince's expression suddenly became solemn.
It is true that Li and Gu Liubai have reached a tacit understanding now, but the imperial family values ​​the most. If they really do what Prince Pei said, there is no need to make a big belly, and they will really get rid of the bed sheet. As long as Pei Yunhua is not a perfect body, then someone will really start to do something and make this happen to everyone in the world, and Li will lose all his face, and it will definitely be impossible to think that nothing has happened.
Pei Yunqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Duke Pei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's okay. If there is really something wrong, then I have to say it directly. I have to make arrangements in advance. If I hadn't had to be nervous before, but after this activist last night, there will be many changes in the city next, and there will be no mistakes."
Gu Liubai said embarrassedly, "It's really okay."
"Look, I'll say that it's useful to let you experience outside. This is a stingy vision of picking people." Duke Pei turned his head and praised Pei Yunqi seriously, with an old face, "There are so many daughters in the city, and this ability to pick people is not as good as your toes."
Pei Yun rolled his eyes, "I just said that my feet were stinky."
Duke Pei smiled, looked at Gu Liubai but became serious again, "I have also carefully learned about the magical method of Yin and Yang Tianyu Sutra. I can only say that you can still control yourself when you meet someone like Yun Hua. Then I will hand these two daughters to you, and I will feel at ease."
The fifth prince listened silently, but quietly gave Gu Liubai a look that I admired you.
"Young people are full of energy, but there are not many such things. We are experienced people and can understand them. Just be careful and you can do it." Duke Pei glanced at Pei Yunqi, and looked at Pei Yunqi blushing in an instant. He opened his mouth again, "I know you don't like me to make the decision for you. Anyway, when did you want to do this marriage in a grand manner? Just tell me in advance."
Pei Yunqi felt completely relieved now. She nodded obediently, served a bowl of noodles soup to Duke Pei and sprinkled some pepper.
"The Fifth Prince was here in the morning. I believe you should know what happened last night." Duke Pei took a sip of the dough soup, but his face became serious involuntarily. "The Lin Party will be uprooted and the Lin Party will have more than 600 officials who will lose their heads directly. In addition to those clans, as well as those officials related to Wang Yehu and Zheng Zhu, for the sake of balance, it will affect at least more than 1,200 officials. Therefore, in addition to those who lost their heads directly last night, there are probably more than 100 officials who will be investigated and executed next."
Shangguan Zhaoyi had woken up long ago. She avoided suspicion, so she stayed in the room after Duke Pei came. But after hearing these words, she couldn't help but walk out the door and bowed seriously, "Duke Pei, I wonder if there is anything in my family?"
Duke Pei replied with a bow and said, "If you don't have this in your home, nothing will happen."
Shangguan Zhaoyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"After you enter the Taoist ancestry of Zongsheng Palace, we naturally guessed your thoughts." Duke Pei looked at Gu Liubai, and was really impressed. "You play this trick well. You are not only good at entering the official career, but also can gain a higher status than the current Baiyun Temple. But sometimes if you don't want to pick up the cheap ones, it will be very troublesome for others to pick them up. These more than 1,200 officials are finished in Chang'an City. I don't know how many benefits you will lose. I think you can pick up a few more big benefits."
Before Gu Liubai could reply, the fifth prince smiled and said, "Gu Shiwu had already planned it before last night. Why don't you show him again to see if there are any more powerful benefits in his idea."
"What's your thought?" Duke Pei suddenly became interested.
When the fifth prince mentioned this, Gu Liubai took out the account books and documents and placed them next to Duke Pei's job. "Those are the two for the time being."
How talented is, Duke Pei is? He just briefly turned over and couldn't help but pick a thumbs up at Gu Liubai. "This old market renovation is like all transportation. Even if these two businesses are only done the same, you will kill half of the military power in my hands."
This answer immediately stunned the fifth prince and Pei Yun.
Duke Pei looked at the fifth prince and smiled, "He will definitely become a wealthy man in Chang'an. If I have more military power in my hands, can you Li feel at ease? I can give all the military pay that Li can't pay."
Gu Liubai frowned slightly and said, "I haven't figured this relationship out before."
Duke Pei glanced at him and said, "Don't get me wrong. I don't want to protect much military power. If you have this idea, you will do it first. At least in the past three or five years, there will be no problem at all. At present, the Li family needs to strengthen the strength of military towns around Chang'an to avoid the influence of the Shence Army and Feilong Army and other troops in Chang'an too great. In the past three or five years, these military towns are under my jurisdiction. But to be honest, I don't interfere much in this matter. This time, the things that the officials have to do will be arranged by Li family are worthy of the arrangements. You can do this."
The fifth prince sighed and said, "Princess Huaizhen was fed several bowls of ecstasy soup by your son-in-law last night. I guess he is already helping him with these things."
Duke Pei was surprised, "Is Princess Huaizhen all boarding your boat?"
The fifth prince looked at his surprised look and smiled brightly, "It's not just about getting on this boat. Last night, my sister proposed to marry your son-in-law, but your son-in-law returned. She then settled for the second best and negotiated business with your son-in-law. However, Duke Pei, I don't think my sister's mind will give up. You said that she really wants to marry your son-in-law in the future. Do you have to plan ahead?"
Prince Pei narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the expressions of the fifth prince and Pei Yunqi, and knew that this matter was not a nonsense. He thought about it for a moment and said, "If this is true, carefully planning can be considered half of the Li family's direct lineage, which is also a good thing."
After pausing, he looked at Gu Liubai and said, "Have you figured out why Li can reach such a tacit understanding with you so easily?"
Gu Liubai had already thought about the key points here before. Listening to his question, Gu Liubai said calmly, "I think the big reason is because of Duke Pei, because Duke Pei, you are deeply trusted by Li. With Duke Pei, you have the relationship between Duke Pei and me, they think that even if something goes wrong, at least Duke Pei can mediate from it. I may not give others the face, but Duke Pei, you should talk seriously, and I will listen to it."
"It is worthy of being the most powerful stump on the trade road. His ability to analyze the current situation is really top-notch." Duke Pei was extremely satisfied in an instant. He had previously thought that Gu Liubai was too young, for fear that Gu Liubai would accidentally take a wrong step and would lead to uncontrollable consequences. At this time, he felt that he was completely over-concerned.
"Since even Princess Huaizhen has boarded your boat, I can think of ways to help you with other great benefits in addition to these two things."
Prince Pei smiled and said, "A beautiful wife may think it's too much, but money should not be too much. Some things in our military are ridiculously expensive and use a lot of them. Many of the wealth that flowed from all over the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an were consumed in these things. In the past, there were too many interests involved in the family and it was not easy to do, but with the strength you are at hand now, with Princess Huaizhen, and the transportation of many goods outside the pass, you are more familiar with anyone, so I will match it up, so the problem is not too big."
Gu Liubai nodded, and then said seriously, "I have a deep bond with Cui. I want to find the old monster Cui and kill him."
Duke Pei looked at him deeply, then nodded lightly and said, "I understand."
When he was about to go out, he remembered an important thing, turned to tell Gu Liubai, and said, "Since Princess Huaizhen has worked together to terminate Yunhua's marriage, I guess it will take ten days at most. You can hold it back in these ten days."
Gu Liubai was speechless.
Chapter completed!
