The third old man looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and felt that he was afraid that he had underestimated this nephew by sitting in a well and watching the sky in Jinling all these years.

Seeing that the third master was persuaded to return to his seat, Pei Mu ran over and squeezed in front of him and said with a smile: "Third uncle, you can stay a little longer!" You also heard about the shop, how much less, grandmother and her old man will compensate you with their own bodies! ”

The third master looked at Pei Minzhong who was standing on the side with a dejected gaze, and then looked at Pei Mu with a hippie smile, sighed, leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed, and stopped talking.

Pei Muzheng was puzzled, but heard Xuanhui speak: "Mrs. Tai said that she was tired, so she will tell you something rare that I heard a few years ago." ”

“…… The two gentlemen in the genealogy, each of whom is tied to thirty taels per year, and there are eight sets of clothes in the four seasons every year, and there are filial piety at four times and eight festivals. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used in the school are all counted separately, and there are two small maids who sprinkle and sweep, and a mother-in-law boils water to cook for Mr. But in recent years, what has fallen into the hands of Mr. not only has no clothes and etiquette, but also has not enough restraints. All expenses incurred in the school were waived, and those who were called were dismissed. ”

"Also, I have heard that two-thirds of the income from the sacrifice fields and the meritorious fields of the Guogong Mansion shall be distributed to the clansmen every year. In previous years, each family could get twenty taels, and the number of widows, widows and sick people could be doubled. But in recent years, I can get a few taels if I often walk around with the Guogong Mansion, and other people can't get a cent! ”

Xuan Hui turned his head to look at Mrs. Han and asked aggressively, "Because of these changes, everyone in the clan has already complained. How many families are counting on this silver for their children's education and for their daughters to buy dowries. Now that there are so many less, dare to ask my aunt, what is the reason? ”

When Mrs. Han saw the third master's actions, she was already frightened. She didn't hear a word of Xuanhui's question, she just looked at her in a daze.

Someone in the female family said boldly: "The princess is good at this, but she should ask the Duchess of the country, how can she ask the fourth aunt?" ”

Xuanhui smiled: "My mother-in-law has moved into the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years, but she is also the same as me, the cards of the Guogong Mansion are red or green, big or small, and the treasury key is round or flat, I don't know." This sister-in-law, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, all these years in the Guogong Mansion to take care of the industry and host the feed, has always been the fourth aunt, my mother-in-law has never interfered in asking! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a firecracker in the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion in the main hall for a while.

"If you don't believe it, just think about it, Steward Chen, who is responsible for dealing with the outside account room in the Guogong Mansion, has been a little guy since he was a child! Since the grandfather of the country inherited the title, the prince of the world has grown up, can the two fathers and sons have leisure to take care of the affairs of the prince's mansion? And how can you say that you will deduct money? If they hadn't sacrificed their lives and worked outside, would today's Chengguo Mansion still be able to stand in Jinling? By whom? Could it be that the fourth uncle and eleventh brother who only know how to eat, drink and have fun are relied upon? ”

With a "clang", Mrs. Tai threw the tea cup in her hand on the ground, pointed at Xuanhui and said angrily: "You, you spew blood!" What did the government do to covet this money? ”

Xuanhui smiled: "So, Mrs. Tai, do you default to the fact that the feed is taken care of by the people on your side?" Instead of accusing me dryly like this, it is better to ask my aunt for clarification. You have been a shopkeeper for a long time, and the twists and turns here, I'm afraid that like my mother-in-law, I don't know very well! ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Xuanhui hesitantly, and then turned her head to look at Mrs. Han. Seeing her face disgraced, she couldn't help but be furious: "Are you blinded by lard!" Is such a big family business as the Guogong Mansion enough for you? What do you want to break the rules in the hands of your ancestors? ”

Mrs. Han threw herself at Mrs. Tai's feet and knelt down, crying and begging, "Mother-in-law, let's stop here for today." Let's go back quickly, and my daughter-in-law will come to you and explain things clearly to you......"

Mrs. Tai didn't expect that she had carefully arranged today's game, but it would be broken so easily. She motioned to the maid to get her dragon head cane, and scolded Mrs. Han in disgust: "Go and kneel in the ancestral hall for me!" In front of the old grandfather and Mu'er and his father, think about who you are worthy of! ”

Pei Mu gave Wang Miaozhen a look and asked her to go over and help her mother up. Wang Miaozhen held her heart and looked like she was about to spit it out. She originally wanted to come forward to sell a good job to her mother-in-law and help say a few more words, but she never thought that Mrs. Han would admit it so easily.

Seeing that Mrs. Han was angry, Wang Miaozhen didn't want to go any further and prepared to leave.

Mrs. Tai took the crutches handed by the maid, got up and was about to leave, feeling uneasy, she hit Mrs. Han a few times hard, and scolded: "Hurry up and get out of the ancestral hall for me!" If you don't kneel for a month, you won't be allowed to come out! ”

Pei Minzhong said loudly: "Grandmother, please stay!" Aunt should not go to the ancestral hall! ”

Mrs. Tai said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, you and your daughter-in-law have been majestic today, why, even if I punish my daughter-in-law, do you have to interfere?" You remember to me, as long as I am in one day, the Guogong Mansion is not all up to you! ”

Pei Minzhong saluted respectfully, and then said, "That's not the case. The grandson is afraid that his aunt will go to the ancestral hall and insult the ancestors of the Pei family! ”

When Mrs. Han heard this, the last glimmer of hope was shattered. Her heart sank uncontrollably, and she looked at her son with tears in her eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

Pei Mu's heart ached when he saw his mother like this. He looked at Pei Minzhong angrily and scolded: "Pei Minzhong, you make it clear to me!" No matter how my mother is, she is also a super-rank lady who was awarded by the imperial court! It's not for you to humiliate at will! ”

Pei Minzhong ignored him, turned around and ordered outside: "Bring it up!" ”

Immediately, two guards escorted a man in shackles.

The man's clothes were quite neat, and he was wearing a gray cotton robe hanging on his body, which looked a little wide. Xu had not seen the sun for many years, and his skin showed an unhealthy whiteness, with blue in the white, and the blood vessels in his neck were faintly visible. His eyes were squinted, as if he was not used to looking at people in such bright light.

After a few breaths, someone suddenly shouted in surprise: "He, he, he looks like Eleven Lang!" ”

The man hurriedly lowered his head and raised his hand to cover his face in embarrassment.

Pei Mu strode forward, slapped the man's hand with one palm, grabbed his hair strands, and forced him to raise his head.

The two looked at each other, and they were both stunned on the spot.

Pei Mu looked at the familiar face in front of him, his head was buzzing, and countless thoughts turned around in an instant. "You, who are you? Is your last name Han? Are you an uncle? ”

The man's gaze swirled greedily on Pei Mu's face, he didn't answer Pei Mu's question, but tears flowed irrepressibly.
