Chapter 332: Sigh
Mrs. Yang was speechless, no matter how arrogant Mrs. Pei was, without Pei You's support, she didn't dare to contradict Pei Lao'an, and Pei Lao'an mentioned her two sons and asked them if they wanted to take them away, so she didn't dare to say anything.
The dispute was dissipated with the thunder and the rain.
It's just that Mrs. Pei cried for a long time after she went back, and Mrs. Yang only sighed when she watched from the side, not knowing how to comfort her. It was Pei Tong, who came back from the Gu family and heard that his mother and grandmother had a dispute, his expression was gloomy, and he was alone for a long time before he cheered up and went to Mrs. Pei.
Gu Xi's maid Hexiang couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw it, and asked Gu Xi, "Do you want to persuade my uncle a few words?" ”
Gu Xi took off her makeup in the mirror, thinking about what her brother told her, "Don't mix yourself up when you don't have the ability to clean up the mess", she said lightly, "No", and asked Hexiang to help her count the dowry, and said: "My brother and sister-in-law will leave for the capital in two days, send some rituals over." ”
But it won't be enough to use the dowry, right?
Hexiang said: "The eldest young master has always felt sorry for you, if you send something over, he will definitely not accept it." ”
Gu Xi didn't speak, and glanced at Hexiang.
This is what it means to ask Hexiang to talk less and do what she tells her.
He Xiang had no choice but to count Gu Xi's dowry.
Gu Xi sat in front of the dressing table for a long time and did not move.
When the ceremony was officially celebrated, there were two more pieces of paper on her dowry list, and the things on these two pieces of paper were given to her by her sister-in-law Yin from her own dowry.
She knew that it was her sister-in-law who was giving her face.
But she was still very uncomfortable.
When did she Gu Xi fall to this point?
She decided to fold what her sister-in-law gave her into silver and return it to her sister-in-law little by little.
Otherwise, how could she, a sister-in-law, hold her head up and speak in front of her sister-in-law?
It's just that in this way, she has to calculate how much silver she has in her hand so that she will not be shy and stretched thin.
Gu Xi collected all the things here, and wanted to wait for Pei Tong to come back and say hello to him, but they all knocked three times, and Pei Tong had not come back yet.
She was a little worried, and she didn't want to get involved in the matter between Pei Tong's mother and son, so she sent a nurse to inquire quietly.
When the nurse came back, her face was not very good, and she told her in her ear: "The mother and son quarreled, and the uncle and wife fanned the fire next to her, and the eldest lady was going to hang herself!" ”
When Gu Xi heard this, a fire suddenly burned in his heart.
This eldest lady doesn't have any eyesight, what time is it now, the whole family relies on Pei Yan to eat, and they are still there to take Qiao. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. She can't bear it? Endured until Pei Tong studied and entered the office, and was promoted to a prosperous position?
Gu Xi was a little annoyed with his wife, she wanted to go to sleep first, and she felt that she was too indifferent to the newlywed Yan'er.
The nurse reminded her: "I have to take the opportunity to bring my uncle's heart over." Otherwise, if the eldest lady makes trouble for other things in the future, you will definitely suffer. ”
This other thing refers to if she offends the eldest wife.
"I'll save it." Gu Xi said, instructing the nurse, "You also have to change the title, so as not to be heard." ”
The Pei family, like the Gu family, also lives together as a large family, and there are many people, and it is easy to be realistic.
Gu Xi couldn't help but say, "Do you know what the Yu family has done today?" ”
The nurse knew her heart knot, and also reminded her: "Don't be Yu Shi Yu's anymore, if you are used to it, it is easy to say that your mouth is leaky." Then he said, "Lao Anren is in a bad mood today, the second wife seems to be packing up things, and the third wife invited that Shi Pozi into the house and gave Lao Anren Ai Burn." I heard that the effect was good, and the Lao An people were much better at dinner, so the third wife left the Shi Pozi to stay at home for a few more days, saying that by the way, she also gave a massage to several other Lao An people and made a moxa or something. ”
Gu Xi pursed his lips and sneered: "Those who are small and small don't understand the rules. These three aunts and six women have introduced the door, and they can't be sure when they will become a scourge! ”
The nurse said: "That's also her business, let's leave it alone." ”
Gu Xi nodded.
She waited for almost half an hour before Pei Tong returned to the room.
Gu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help him change his clothes: "Why did you come back so late?" But what matters. ”
After all, she had just gotten married, Pei Tong wanted to save face, and when she asked this, she didn't know what to say for a while, so she responded vaguely and said, "It's not too early, let's rest early!" I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”
Gu Xiba had to ask.
When she got up the next morning, she had breakfast and was going to greet her mother-in-law first, and then go to Pei Lao'an, who knew that she hadn't had time to go to Mrs. Pei's place, and Mrs. Pei sent a message from there, saying that Mrs. Yang was going to rush back to the capital and let them hurry over.
Gu Xiqi said: "Didn't you say that you would leave in two days?" ”
Pei Tong knew that it was because Mrs. Yang felt that there was no point in continuing to stay here, and wanted to rush back to the Yang family for the New Year as soon as possible, so she answered vaguely and went to Mrs. Yang with Gu Xi.
Mrs. Yang packed up her things, and after seeing them, she went to Pei Lao'an's place together.
Pei Laoan didn't give Mrs. Yang any face, and directly said that it was too early, and he hadn't gotten up yet, so he wouldn't send Mrs. Yang in person.
Mrs. Yang was so angry that her face turned blue.
Pei Lao'an knew about it and grabbed Yu Tang - originally she was going to let Yu Tang go to see off the guests on her behalf, but since Mrs. Yang felt wronged, she was afraid that Yu Tang would listen to gossip when she went to send Mrs. Yang, so she simply asked Aunt Chen to send off the guests.
Mrs. Yang brushed her sleeves away.
Mrs. Pei Da wants to go back to her parents' house even more.
She pulled her son with red eyes to discuss: "Don't persuade those who don't have it, I don't want to stay here for another day." If you don't want to see your mother die, you can find a way for me to go to the capital and study at your uncle's place. One day, take me and your brother to the capital. We are in the capital, and we have our own house! ”
This was bought by Pei You himself.
After Pei You's death, the Pei family didn't know whether they were pretending to be deaf and dumb or didn't have time to pay attention, this house had always been in their hands.
Pei Tong thought of the warmth of his father's family when he was alive, and his eyes couldn't help but redden, and he assured his mother in a low voice: "You bear with me, our family will definitely be reunited in the capital." ”
Mrs. Pei felt a little better in her heart.
In the middle of the month, the shop began to take stock and close, and every household began to marinate fish and meat, fried twist flowers to make rice cakes, and the eldest lord of the Li family's sect suddenly came to visit Pei Yan, and pulled Pei Yan to a secluded place with a pale face and said: "I'm afraid that the third master will trouble again." ”
Pei Yan was very impatient in his heart.
Yu Tang couldn't go back because of the New Year, so he wanted to go home to see it when he was a child, he was going to send Yu Tang back to his parents' house, and then have a meal at Yu's house, go to the shop in the afternoon, and then take Yu Tang back, and go to Pei Lao'an to eat at night.
The Li family's sect master is like this, and this matter is probably going to be ruined.
He frowned almost invisibly and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The eldest lord of the Li family's sect said with a wry smile: "Li Duan was stabbed to death!" ”
Hearing this news, even Pei Yan was startled, and said in a tense voice: "What's the matter?" ”
The smile of the eldest master of the Li family clan was even more bitter, and he said, "Didn't you say before that Li Yi accepted other people's money and disregarded people's lives?" The bitter lord is also a stubborn, I heard that Li Duan is a seed of reading, and the Li family will be able to make a comeback by relying on Li Duan in the future, the bitter lord is unhappy, and he came all the way to find this place and kill Li Duan! ”
That's a ......
Pei Yan didn't speak for a long time.
The eldest lord of the Li family's sect sighed: "Originally, when their family was rich, they separated from us, but they couldn't write two Li characters in one stroke, Li Yi was exiled, and Li Jun followed to take care of his father. ”
According to Pei Yan's thoughts, there is nothing wrong with the Violent Corpse Wilderness.
It's just that in front of the people of the Li family's sect, he can't say that. He said, "So what can I do?" ”
The eldest master of the Li family glanced at Pei Yan and said: "The incident happened in Hangzhou, and it can be regarded as a big and important case, and it is said that Lord Li will try it in person." The staff around Master Li told me that Lord Li was as evil as an enemy, and he felt that the bitter master was excusable, and he probably would not sentence that person to be executed. I thought, Li Duan is from Lin'an, can you please go and talk to Master Li and transfer this case to Lin'an for trial. ”
The Li family is one of the few squires in Lin'an, Pei Yan came forward to help intercede, and the case was moved to the hands of Lord Wu, and the bitter master will definitely be sentenced to death.
Pei Yan didn't want to help with this.
He said: "Even if the case comes to Lin'an for trial, it will eventually be shown to Master Li." What's more, this matter is so serious, I don't think it's appropriate for me to come forward to intercede with him. ”
The eldest lord of the Li family's sect was very surprised, he didn't expect Pei Yan not to help the villagers, and said busily: "I am also thinking about the reputation of our Lin'an people......"
Pei Yan interrupted him mercilessly, and said, "If it is for the sake of the reputation of the Lin'an people, we should not obstruct Lord Li's judgment of the case." No one in the world makes mistakes. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. According to me, we Lin'an people should take this as a lesson, and being an official outside the country must not only be honest, but also have benevolence and kindness, which is the real way to be an official. ”
The Li family Zongfang said that Pei Yan couldn't say goodbye, and after going back, he thought about it repeatedly for a long time, but he had to admit that what Pei Yan said made sense. Later, he often used this matter to educate the heirs of the Li family, which made Pei Yan more famous, and even wrote it in the history books, which is another story.
In the city of Hangzhou, Li Guang, the newly appointed political envoy of Zhejiang, waited for a long time and did not wait for Pei Yan to intercede, and he couldn't help but ask the staff around him: "What does he mean by this?" Let me judge like this? Li Duan is from Lin'an. And I heard that Mrs. Li was already crazy, and he helped send it to the nunnery. ”
But he didn't come forward to say hello to Li Duan.
His staff told Li Guang the words from the eldest master of the Li family's sect, and said with a smile: "Maybe Pei Yaoguang thinks the same as you think, thinking that the Li family grows melons and gets melons, and planting beans and reaping beans is the retribution they deserve!" ”
Li Guang pondered for a long time, nodded slightly, and then had a very good impression of Pei Yan, and secretly felt that Pei Yan was his confidant.
