Chapter 198
"Master Pei, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. If you hadn't helped me make a comeback, I might not be where I am today!"
Chu Pingshan held a glass of sake, bowed slightly, and toasted Pei Mao with a very solemn expression.
His respect does not stem from Pei Mao's power.
But because I am where I am today, I have received a lot of help from Pei Mao.
Pei Mao chuckled, clinked the wine glass lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I also know the news from you. Congratulations. From a military commander to a civil servant, your future will be bright."
Pei Mao's words were a bit straightforward, but Chu Pingshan also understood its meaning.
After all, since ancient times, military generals can conquer the world, but it has always been civilian officials who govern the world.
Especially when there is no war, civilian officials are much more expensive than military generals.
Not to mention anything else, most of the five prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall were civil servants.
Even if he has experience in commanding an army, he is still a Confucian general.
He is a general and a prime minister, both civil and military, rather than a reckless military man on the battlefield.
"yes!"
Chu Pingshan was not modest, but a little melancholy, "I don't even know, what is going on?"
"It's like a dream."
"Master Gao told me that it was because His Majesty admired Wu Ming that he asked me to capture this son-in-law."
"But the specific details are unknown."
Before he left, he came to visit Pei Mao.
The first is to thank him. After all, he served as General Guangwu because of Pei Mao's recommendation.
But the second reason is that I want to come and find out more.
Perhaps this Lord Zuocheng, the Minister of Finance, knows some gossip?
But Pei Mao also looked puzzled, "I am not in the capital, but I am also involved in the affairs of Shangshu Province."
"But I have no way of knowing about this matter. I guess Wuming did something good again."
"You also know your son-in-law's character. He does great things in silence!"
"But Mr. Gao is right, your son-in-law is definitely not an ordinary person."
No need for Pei Mao to say this, Chu Pingshan himself knew it.
After all, Shen Wuming has always done a lot of big and small things, and he has always done whatever he wants.
But it's never impossible.
It seems that everything becomes extremely easy in his hands.
"And there is something I don't know whether to say or not..."
Pei Mao played with the wine glass, considered it for a moment, and was ready to discuss it with him.
"Sir, please speak." Chu Pingshan said quickly.
"Wu Ming and You Yi have a deep love for each other, and you and I can see it in our eyes!"
Pei Mao first praised her, and then said: "But for men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines."
"Do you think this is true?"
The corner of Chu Pingshan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He was a smart man, so he naturally understood what Pei Mao meant.
When an elder starts to tell you that having three wives and four concubines is normal, he is probably going to introduce you to a wife.
"certainly!"
Although Chu Pingshan only married one daughter-in-law, he didn't have much objection.
It's just a little surprising. What does this have to do with Pei Mao?
"That girl from the Cao family also has feelings for Wuming, and they even agreed on this relationship some time ago."
"Our whole family has no objection. Even Youyi hopes to have two sisters to make it fun."
Chu Pingshan laid the groundwork, then looked at Pei Mao, "I wonder what Mr. Pei means?"
"You are also watching this girl Zian. In fact, she is not young even at this age."
"I don't have a formal appearance day by day. I just follow Wu Ming around. You said... it's not good to have no name or status."
"If we talk about marriage in another two years, I'm afraid it will cause some criticism. Why don't we make a match?"
When Pei Mao said this, he smiled like an old fox and seemed quite contented.
After all, Pei Zian's matter can be said to be that he got on the bus first and paid for the ticket later.
I don’t know if this car got on, but I must have been standing at the door, and I would definitely be in the front.
Shen Wuming was like a stock that was soaring, and he had to take action as soon as possible.
At least find a position as an equal wife.
"ah?"
Chu Pingshan's eyes widened, "This girl Zian... is a nice person, impeccable."
"In terms of age, you can get married, but the only thing is..."
At this point, he stopped talking.
Some things are difficult to say directly, but we cannot live without this concern.
That girl is Pei Zian, the apple of Pei Mao's eye.
A direct descendant of the Zhongshan Pei family.
His father was the minister of Dali Temple who was comparable to the six ministers.
Her mother is the daughter of King Qi and the current princess.
If such a strong girl married Shen Wuming, could it be possible that she would steal her daughter's position as the head wife?
"Hahaha!"
Pei Mao seemed to notice his worry and laughed heartily.
"I have always respected the ideas of young people."
"I will definitely not force you, let alone have any impact on Youyi's position!"
"Even if this girl Yuan An is married, she will only be an equal wife. Is there no problem with that?"
"After all, a man has three wives and four concubines. Even if a girl from the Cao family marries, there will still be a vacant position for the third child."
The wine glass in Chu Pingshan's hand clattered to the ground.
He raised his head suddenly and looked at Pei Mao in surprise.
He didn't expect that Pei Mao was so generous that he was willing to let Pei Zian be a third party?
And Pei Mao also felt bitter in his heart and couldn't express it.
Who asked Pei Zian to stay behind?
The most important thing is that he brought Pei Zian and Shen Wuming together in order to befriend this genius.
Not to offend him!
…
"How is it? Has the master given feedback?"
In the post station.
Ye Qingcheng looked at Zhang Taisu who was riding a horse from a distance, strode forward, and asked hurriedly.
Before that, she got Shen Wuming's permission and decided to pass Tai Chi and Baguazhang to other people in Tianshidao.
But before that, she did not act on her own.
Instead, she asked Zhang Taisu to personally escort the two exercises to Tianshidao.
Meet the old Tianshi!
After all, in Ye Qingcheng's mind, this relationship is extremely important.
There must be no carelessness.
Whether it is a pigeon or a letter, it cannot ensure safety.
Zhang Taisu has to go in person!
Zhang Taisu didn't even have time to catch his breath, he got off the horse and laughed, "I didn't even drink a sip of water."
"My little Tianshi, are you so anxious? You think I'm a donkey, right?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled ashamedly, "I dare not think I'm a donkey, just because I'm responsible for the Tianshi Dao."
"You!" Zhang Taisu smiled bitterly, but still quickly took out a letter from his arms.
He handed it to Ye Qingcheng solemnly.
"This is the reply from the old Tianshi, asking me to hand it to you in person, and I didn't read it in the middle."
"So you decide for yourself!"
After Ye Qingcheng took it, he quickly opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter from it.
His eyes fell, and the uneasiness on his face instantly turned into joy, and his fingers couldn't help but clenched together.
