There was a reassuring scent of sandalwood in the purple and gold four-legged unicorn auspicious beast incense burner.
Mrs.
Peng looked at her son through the layers of smoke.
After thinking about it again and again, she nodded gently to her son: "You have learned to think like this. , there are some things that mother doesn’t want to hide from you, so just sit down.
Peng Caichen sat down as instructed and slowly raised his head to look at his mother.
Mrs.
Peng held a cup of tea in her emerald-green hands.
She watched the tea leaves floating in the cup with her eyes.
After a while, she spoke softly: "Do you know that our family had a business in Yunnan?"
Of course Peng Caichen knew.
It was still a not-so-good business to provide weapons to the mob.
This was a serious crime, but it was because of this that the Peng family relied on the King of Chu.
As a result, he was able to support and secretly help the King of Chu, and relied on the King of Chu's connections to return to officialdom.
Peng Huai's ability to be the Minister of Household Affairs today is inseparable from this.
Because of this, the Peng family invested a lot of money.
There were many things that were inconvenient for the King of Chu to do, and the Peng family had to come forward to deal with the officials and mobs in Yunnan.
Something happened to the King of Chu a while ago, and there was a lot of blood.
The smell of blood at Caishikou lingered for half a month.
In fact, the Peng family was already in a state of turmoil, and people in the family were in a state of uncertainty.
At that time, my father did not dare to close his eyes at all.
When something happened to Qiu Chuying, the whole family chanted Buddha's name He still remembered that one day his father and his second uncle went out in the middle of the night and did not come back until dawn.
His mother also stayed up all night.
After all, he never implicated their Peng family.
He nodded confusedly: "Our family is helping King Chu."
The big bosses in the business naturally paid filial piety to the King of Chu, but the Peng family also made a lot of money.
Mrs.
Peng smiled, thinking about how she was so frightened when the incident happened, but she still managed to laugh for some reason at this moment.
After a moment, she collected her thoughts and nodded: "What you said is true, and that's not true.
Our family is Chu."
The king is doing things, but you have forgotten that your aunt is the current Concubine De, and there is another aunt who is the concubine Yu of the current King Linjiang. " Peng Caichen naturally knew that he somewhat understood what his mother meant.
He looked at his mother suspiciously and slowly tightened the fan in his hand.
Mrs.
Peng saw that her son seemed to understand something, so she stopped talking in circles and stared directly into her son's eyes: "Your grandfather died because his title was taken away.
We in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion have been loyal for generations, but because of a small mistake, Your grandfather was deprived of his title and demoted to a lower rank, and he could not rest in peace until his death.
He has always been grudges about your father."
Peng Caichen also knew this.
Since he was a child, he had heard his father talk about how glorious his ancestors were, and he was very aware of his father's resentment and unwillingness.
And Peng De is not a person who is unwilling to give in.
He is the most adaptable person in this generation.
Fortunately, the old man taught him well.
He carved out the same mold that he taught his sons.
All of them only know that they want to restore the family lintel.
The whole family works together for one purpose. , to regain his title, and to put the Peng family at the forefront of the noble families again.
Peng De didn't just say that he started to find ways to make money from a very early age.
Needless to say, the boys in the family must be carefully trained, and there must not be a prodigal son who has no future.

The girls also have their own purposes, and it is best to marry and build relationships.
Concubine De and Concubine Yu all went out like this.
These are the ones that can get ahead in the end, and those that can't get ahead, but can bring benefits.
The Peng family also gave away an unknown number of them, side branches and direct branches, and sold them at different prices.
Peng Caichen pursed his lips.
Now, he is almost the same as his aunts.
Mrs.
Peng saw what he was thinking and sighed in confusion: "Caichen, don't blame your father.
Your father is a filial son.
The most unwilling thing in his life is not being able to let your grandfather see him before he dies.
The sign of Jing'an Marquis Mansion is hanging in our house again.
For this, he can even risk his own life."
Peng Caichen listened quietly, knowing that what his mother had to say was yet to come.
Sure enough, Mrs.
Peng put the cup on the table and continued the topic just now: "Our family spent a lot of effort to suppress the incident in Yunnan.
It has already cost the family a lot to plug the hole.
And our family wants to This is not the only hole that has been blocked.
Your father used to think about casting a wider net to catch more fish, but now that Concubine De has given birth to the emperor, your father and your uncles have reconsidered."
Peng Caichen seemed to understand.
Mrs.
Peng broke it open, crushed it into pieces and told him, hoping that he could listen more clearly: "Our family asked Mr.
Qin to suppress the matter.
But now, if our family wants to suppress the treasure, on the empress , we have to clear up other troubles first.
The Yunnan matter is still used by people to ask for money from our family based on the original matter.
Your father's intention is that they have become relatives, so the handle that can blackmail us is no longer a handle. " That group of people always threatened to go to the Ming family descendants to inform them, saying that the Peng family had created the secret letter that forged the Ming family to liaise with foreign enemies.
It was also the Peng family and the King of Chu who secretly exploited the iron mines, not the Ming family. .
But once the Peng family and Mrs.
Wei's granddaughter became in-laws, those people would no longer need to pay to keep quiet, nor would they need to intimidate or induce them.
They would naturally shut up and become relatives.
What else could they say?
of "That's why your father and I forced you to marry Wei Qi.
This is just one of them."
Madam Peng leaned against the pillow, adjusted her sitting posture, and said softly: "Also, your father is now working in the Ministry of War.
Filling in King Chu's trap has left a lot of hidden dangers for our family anyway.
If you get married to Wei Qi, both King Zheng and Wei Yangqing will become grasshoppers in the same boat with our family, and they will always have to help cover it up. .
Do you understand?”
Peng Caichen was horrified.
Mother said that it was up to King Zheng and Wei Yangqing to fill in these hidden dangers, and what on earth was going on with the Ministry of War?
But Mrs.
Peng had no intention of talking any more.
He frowned and finally understood why his parents valued Wei Qi so much.
He suppressed all his reluctance and agreed very seriously.
Not only agreed, he also decided to do things better.
His sister invited Wei An and the others to come to his home, so he gave his sister advice.
He even found the boat in the house and had it cleaned and wiped so that it could be given to Wei An that day.

It is used for them to travel to the lake.
Mrs.
Peng breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Peng Caichen was obedient in the past, he still had some reluctance after all.
Sometimes this reluctance can lead to bad things.
For a smart man like Wei An, he can't have any reluctance at all.
Peng Caichen is willing to bother like this, which is at least a good start.
After all, it is not too much to treat people like the Wei family and Prince Zheng who can pull the Peng family out of the quagmire
