Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Pei Zhu knew the purpose of this banquet very well. It was a communication meeting for prominent businessmen. If a person like him from a small family really took advantage of Yang Jian's influence and went there, and was found out to have such a mediocre background, he might be excluded behind his back. After all, his relationship with Yang Jian was not as good as it seemed on the surface. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was normal for him to want to curry favor with a person like Yang Jian, but the other party's enthusiastic attitude also surprised him, and he always felt uneasy. The other party must have some plan for him. As the saying goes, those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. If it is a matter of life and death, it is better not to curry favor with him.

Yang Jian didn't expect the other party to refuse so bluntly. For a moment, he looked at Pei Zhu with a strange look in his eyes. He thought of his plan, so he said, "It's Yang's fault for not thinking it through. In fact, the purpose of this Chamber of Commerce banquet is that Yang wants to introduce a friend from the capital to Mr. Pei. Since Mr. Pei has some concerns, why don't we choose a day to meet. How do you think?"

Pei Zhu didn't expect this to be the reason, so he asked, "Why?"

"Yang's friend wants to do business in Suzhou City and wants to find a local to bring him in to avoid unnecessary trouble. Mr. Pei is from Suzhou City. I wonder if you are willing to help?"

"Of course I'm willing. Do you know when we can meet?" Pei Zhu felt that although doing so might lead to competition among peers, he would not be an obstacle to those with financial resources. In this case, it would be great to give Yang Jian a favor and get to know the merchants in the capital at the same time.

"How about tomorrow? It won't delay Master Pei's return home."

"Very good, thank you Mr. Yang for your kindness." Pei Zhu raised his glass to thank Yang Jian.

After Yang Jian finished his drink, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said, "Tomorrow, Yang will entertain you two at Yang's residence. Yang's friend will come with his family, and Mr. Pei can also come with his family, so that the other party's wife will have a companion to talk with. How do you think?"

Pei Zhu hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether Ye Xi was willing to attend. "Well, I need my wife's consent."

Yang Jian didn't expect Pei Zhu to answer like this, and chuckled: "Mr. Pei's friendship with your wife is extraordinary." That's right, generally when a man is willing to bring his wife out for social events, the wife will not refuse or reject it, this is the so-called husband is the leader of the wife. Pei Zhu did this and said it so openly, which was a loss of man's dignity.

Pei Zhu was embarrassed and explained, "My wife had a fright a while ago and has only just gotten better. I don't know if her body allows it yet. She must have agreed in the past."

Yang Jian didn't expect this to happen. He asked about the situation with concern. After learning that it was not serious, he asked Pei Zhu to inquire and send someone to Yang's house before noon tomorrow to inform him so that he could make arrangements. Pei Zhu agreed.

The two stood up and left Cuifeng Tower together. Yang Jian noticed the purse on Pei Zhu's waist. In fact, he had noticed this purse was very special when they first met. The embroidery was so special, and it was so ugly that it was horrible. When he saw this purse again, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Pei's purse is very special."

Pei Zhu naturally knew what the other party meant. He deliberately placed the embroidery pattern on the inside. Perhaps the pattern was seen when the purse swayed when he walked. He explained embarrassedly: "This is embroidered by my wife. I don't want to let her down."

Yang Jian guessed that this should be the case, but when it was confirmed, he couldn't help but laugh. He also remembered that he didn't see this purse when he met Pei Zhu before, so he asked, "I don't think I've seen Master Pei wearing it before?"

"Of course, the purse was given to me by my wife yesterday." Pei Zhu blurted out.

Yang Jian paused for a moment, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
