The purple gold four-legged unicorn beast incense burner was bubbling with a reassuring sandalwood fragrance, and Mrs. Peng looked at her son through this layer of smoke, thought twice, and nodded lightly to her son: "Since you have learned to think like this, there are some things, and your mother doesn't want to hide it from you, you sit." ”

Peng Caichen sat down as he said, and slowly raised his head to look at his mother.

Mrs. Peng held a cup of tea in her white hand, her eyes watched the tea leaves in the cup rise and fall, and only after half a sound did she speak softly: "Do you know that our family had a business in Yunnan at the beginning?" ”

Of course Peng Caichen knows.

It's still not a very good business----- it's a big crime to provide weapons to those mobs, but it's because of this that the Peng family relied on the king of Chu.

So that he could help the King of Chu with the support and secretly, and relied on the connections of the King of Chu to return to the officialdom all the way.

Peng Huai's ability to become today's household servant is also inseparable from this.

Because of this, the Peng family has invested a lot, and it is inconvenient for the King of Chu to take action in many things, so the people of the Peng family have to come forward to deal with those officials and mobs in Yunnan.

A while ago, the king of Chu had an accident, the blood flowed and the smell of blood at the entrance of the vegetable market did not dissipate for half a month, and the Peng family was actually already in turmoil, and the hearts of the people were fluctuating.

At that time, my father didn't dare to close his eyes at all, and as soon as Qiu Chuying had an accident, the whole family recited Buddhism......

He still remembers that one day his father and his second uncle went out in the middle of the night and came back until almost dawn, and his mother did not sleep all night, and then he never implicated their Peng family......

He nodded ignorantly: "Our family is to help King Chu do things." ”

The big heads of those businesses naturally paid homage to the King of Chu, but their Peng family also made a lot of money. Mrs. Peng smiled, thinking about how frightened she was when the incident happened, but at this moment, for some reason, she could still laugh, and after a while, she straightened out her thoughts and nodded: "What you said is and it is not." Our family works for the King of Chu, but you forgot that your aunt is the current Concubine De..... And what about an aunt? She is the concubine of today's King of Linjiang. ”

Peng Caichen naturally knew that he understood what his mother meant, looked at his mother suspiciously, and slowly pinched the fan in his hand.

Mrs. Peng saw that her son seemed to have some understanding, so she stopped going around in circles, and stared at her son's eyes straight to the point: "Your grandfather died because of the title being taken away, and our Jing'an Marquis Mansion has been loyal for several generations, but he was deprived of the title and demoted because of a small mistake, and your grandfather can't be blind until he dies, your father ..... He's been haunted by it. ”

Peng Caichen also knows this.

Since he was a child, he has heard his father talk about how his ancestors are glorious, and he knows his father's resentment and unwillingness.

And Peng De is not a person who will only be unwilling.

He is the most flexible person in this generation, and fortunately, the old man taught him well, and carved out a mold that all his sons taught---- all of them only knew that they wanted to restore the lintel, and the family worked together for a purpose to get their own title back, so that the Peng family could re-establish itself in front of the family nobles.

Peng De didn't just say that he had been drilling the camp since a very early age.

The boys in the family don't have to say, it is natural to be carefully trained, there must not be a loser who is not interested, and the girls also have their own uses------ marriage is the best.

Concubine De and Concubine Yu both went out like this.

These are the ones who can come out in the end, those who can't come out, but they can bring benefits, and the Peng family has also given out an unknown number of them, and the side branches are just sold at a high or low price.

Peng Caichen pursed his lips.

He is now similar to his aunts.

Mrs. Peng saw what he was thinking, and sighed in a daze: "Caichen, don't blame your father. Your father is a filial son, and the most unwilling thing in this life is that he failed to let your grandfather see the signboard of the Jing'an Hou Mansion hanging again in our house before he died. For this, he couldn't even take his own life. ”

Peng Caichen listened quietly, he knew that what his mother was going to say was still to come.

Sure enough, Mrs. Peng put the cup on the table and continued the topic just now: "The previous incident in Yunnan, our family spent a lot of effort to suppress it, and plugged that hole, and the family has already spent a lot of money. And this is not the only hole that our house has to plug. Your father used to want to cast his net wide and catch more fish. But now that Concubine De has given birth to an heir, your father and your uncles have reconsidered......

Peng Caichen didn't seem to understand.

Mrs. Peng broke it open and crumpled it and told him, hoping that he could listen more clearly: "Our family only pressed down and wiped things clean after looking for Lord Qin." But now, if our family wants to press the treasure on Niangniang, we must first fill in other troubles ----- Yunnan, and there are still people who want silver from our family with the original matter, your father's meaning, has become a relative, and the handle that can coerce us is not a handle. ”

Those people always threatened to go to the descendants of the Ming family to inform, saying that the secret letter that imitated the Ming family's private communication with foreign enemies was made by their Peng family, and it was the Peng family and the king of Chu who privately opened the iron mine, not the Ming family.

But once the Peng family and Mrs. Wei's granddaughter become in-laws, those people naturally don't have to take money anymore, and they don't have to coerce and lure anymore, so they naturally shut up----- they all become relatives, what else can they say?

"That's why your father and I forced you to marry Wei Qi, and this is still just one of them." Mrs. Peng leaned on the pillow, adjusted her sitting posture, and said softly: "Also, your father is now working in the military department, and in order to fill the pit of the king of Chu, our family ...... Anyway, there is a big hidden danger, if you become a relative to Wei Qi, whether it is King Zheng and Wei Yangqing, they will become grasshoppers in the same boat as our family, and you must always help cover it up. Do you understand? ”

Peng Caichen was shocked.

Mother said that it was up to King Zheng and Wei Yangqing to fill in these hidden dangers, and what did she say about the military department...... What the hell is going on?

But Mrs. Peng didn't mean to say any more, he frowned, and finally understood why his parents attached so much importance to a Wei Qi, he reined in those unwillingness, and agreed very seriously.

Not only agreed, but also determined to do things better, my sister invited Guard's to come to the house as a guest, so he gave his sister ideas, and even found the painting boat at home, and specially asked people to clean and wipe it clean, and wait until that day for Guard's eyes to swim in the lake.

Mrs. Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, although Peng Caichen was also obedient, he still had some unwillingness after all, sometimes it was this unwillingness that was easy to do bad things, and he couldn't have any unwillingness at all for a smart person like Shang Wei'an.

Peng Caichen is willing to bother like this, at least it is a good start.

After all, it is not too hard to treat people like the Wei family and King Zheng who can pull the Peng family out of the quagmire.
