Chapter 73 Robbery(1/2)

Hu Mansion.

Front yard study.

"What do you want to do?!"

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong with a "sneaky smile" on his face and asked with a frown.

"Hey hey hey..."

"If you don't like anyone, can I introduce a few to you?"

Hu Weiyong stared at Hu Fei and asked with a smile.

"Stop it! Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Why are you mentioning this all of a sudden?! Didn't you say that someone who is worthy of me must at least be a royal relative like a princess?!"

Hu Fei stared at Hu Weiyong with a smirk on his face and asked loudly.

"We'll talk about that later. If it doesn't work out to marry one home first and give me a fat grandson, I can just let them be my concubines in the future."

Hu Weiyong waved his hands and said impatiently.

"You made the princess your concubine?! Give them back?!"

"How many princesses do you want me to marry?!"

"Old man, you are the only one who dares to say this! If His Majesty hears it, you will have to walk around without food! Young Master, I am now at the height of my prosperity, so don't cause any trouble for me!"

Hu Fei suddenly stood up, pointed at Hu Weiyong and said loudly.

"Hey, son, you don't know. In the past, when I wanted to find a marriage for you, I had to go everywhere and ask for help, but no one was willing to do it. But it's different now. Since I won the first prize in the poetry and calligraphy competition, I have become a poet.

After God descended to earth, many civil and military officials are now inquiring about your marriage and want to marry our Hu family. I have never experienced this feeling before!"

Hu Weiyong sighed and couldn't help but said sadly.

In the past, the son of Prime Minister Hu was a joke to the entire capital. The princes and nobles wanted to hide away for fear of being related to Hu Fei. But it is different now. For Hu Weiyong, it was like rain after a long drought.

Encountered the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming.

In fact, when he said that only a princess could be worthy of his son, they were all words of self-comfort. Especially after he learned from Hu Fei that His Majesty had begun to be wary of his power and planned to attack him, he completely gave up that idea.

.

Now that there were suddenly so many people coming to ask for marriage, he still couldn't get used to it, and it always felt like a pie fell from the sky.

"I don't care! You said that only the princess is worthy of me. I take it seriously. I will not marry anyone except the princess from now on! Don't try to trick me any more!"

Hu Fei waved his hand, said that, and turned around to leave impatiently.

"Hey? Son, don't leave! Let's discuss it again!"

When Hu Weiyong saw Hu Fei was about to leave, he stood up quickly and shouted with a grimace.

"There is no need to discuss! If you want me to get married, then go to His Majesty to discuss it!"

Hu Fei said loudly and left the study without looking back.

He is very busy now and has no time to think about his children's personal affairs. Besides, the thirteenth year of Hongwu is coming soon. Whether he can survive this or not is still unknown. By then, he can't drag his family with him.

Run away and flee?

Hu Weiyong looked at his son's leaving figure and sighed in disappointment, with a look of helplessness on his face.

...

Linglong Court.

As soon as Hu Fei returned to Linglong Garden, he saw a man waiting anxiously at the door of the main hall.

Pei Jie is back.

"came back?"

Hu Fei had a sullen face and asked in a deep voice while walking towards Pei Jie.

I was in a good mood, so I went to the front yard, but was completely depressed by Hu Weiyong.

"Master."

Hearing Hu Fei's voice, Pei Jie looked up and his eyes lit up.

"How's it going? Are you looking at all the shops?"

Hu Fei walked into the main hall and sat on a chair while continuing to ask.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Jie noticed something was wrong with Hu Fei's face and asked hesitantly.

"Where does all this nonsense come from, I'm asking you!"

Hu Fei raised his head impatiently, glared at Pei Jie, and asked loudly.

"Oh, let's go back to the young master. We have already chosen the shop. The location and size meet the young master's requirements. The store has also agreed to sell it to us."

Pei Jie didn't dare to ask any more questions and answered hurriedly.

In order to save time and effort, Hu Fei asked Pei Jie to see that the shops were all ready-made bookstores. This saves the time of decoration and preparation, and he can just buy them and open the business directly.

"Very good, I'll hand over the money tomorrow and start business as soon as possible."

Hu Fei nodded and said with satisfaction.

"Master, don't you go and see if it's suitable?"

Pei Jie was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"You don't have to read it, you just want to buy a calligraphy. What people want is my calligraphy. As long as it is written by me, no matter what the store is like, people will still come to the door."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said impatiently.

He originally planned to go, but after Hu Weiyong's trouble just now, he completely lost his mood.

"Master..."

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Pei Jie hesitated and stopped talking.

Originally, there was one more thing he wanted to report, but seeing Hu Fei's face, he didn't dare to say it.

"Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Hu Fei glanced at the hesitant Pei Jie, frowned and said.

"Master, when I was inquiring about shops on the street today, I discovered something..."

"Someone is pretending to be a young master and selling his inscriptions for money. One copybook costs one hundred taels of silver..."

Pei Jie replied hesitantly.

"What?!"

"Who wants to die so much?!"

After hearing Pei Jie's words, Hu Fei's face suddenly darkened and he asked loudly.

"When I came back, I told Mu Ping about this and asked him to take people to investigate."

Pei Jie hurriedly answered.

"You just said how much a copybook costs?!"

Hu Fei frowned and asked.

"One...one hundred taels..."

Pei Jie swallowed and said.

"One hundred taels!?"

"This is robbery! You dare to steal money from my young master's pocket. You are impatient!"

Hu Fei gritted his teeth and said harshly.

Now it has been spread in the market that one of his calligraphy is worth one thousand taels, but now someone is pretending to be himself, and one of his calligraphy is only sold for one hundred taels!

This is not only a money grab, but also an attempt to cut off Hu Fei's financial path!

Of course Hu Fei couldn't bear it!

"Walk!"

Thinking of this, Hu Fei stood up and walked out.

"Master, where are you going? I told Mu Ping that I will report back to Linglong Garden after finding out the news."

Pei Jie was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Go back to Hong Bin Building and wait for news!"

Hu Fei answered casually and walked towards the back door.

Pei Jie didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly followed.
