Pei Tong's gaze was very sincere, and there was a little sorrow between his eyebrows, and then thinking of what he said, most people would probably feel sympathy when they saw such a scene, and then become tolerant.

It's a pity that he didn't meet most people, but the Gu brothers and sisters.

Whether it was Gu Chang or Gu Xi, they immediately comforted him without emotion, and Gu Chang even asked aggressively: "In that case, why did you agree to go to the Gu family to study?" Is it because of what has happened to Pei Jiaxue in the past few years? ”

The ethnology of the Pei family is diametrically opposed to that of other people's. Other people's clans learn to accept some children of in-laws to study, and even actively or passively accept some children from poor families for the sake of connections, and sometimes sponsor them to participate in the imperial examination. The Pei family's ethnography only accepts the children of the Pei family, which also makes others not very familiar with the children of the Pei family, and some people don't even know that the Pei family has a genealogy.

Gu Chang has always been very curious about the Pei family's genealogy, and wanted to find a chance to take a look, he asked this half because he was suspicious of Pei Tong's words, and half because he wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the Pei family's studies, and see if he could find an opportunity to visit the Pei family's studies.

Who knew that Pei Tong shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "I went to the Gu family to study to appease my mother." You should have heard that my mother has been living in the capital with my father since she got married, and I don't get along much with my grandmother. And I was not used to the climate and life of Lin'an, and in the first winter of Lin'an, my hands froze. In addition, the Pei family study is now presided over by Yi Gong, and my father had a conflict with Yi Gong because of the imperial examination...... My mother, who was both self and others, always felt that I was not having a good time. She is a motherly mind, thinking about the future of the family...... It is also my Yue family, if I can move around more with the people of the Yue family, like my father, and become friends with the uncles and brothers of the Yue family, life will definitely be happier than in Lin'an. That's when he decided on his own initiative. I couldn't bear to make my mother sad, so I agreed. I never thought there would be such a misunderstanding! ”

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his brother.

Gu Chang still said, "How could your father have a conflict with Gong Yi?" ”

If it is for the family's resources, the Pei family has a big business, not to mention a jinshi, that is, after Pei You became an official, the Pei family subsidized his chewing as before, how could there be a conflict?

This is also why Gu Chang feels that the Pei family is an important reason for good in-laws.

Everyone knows that there are very few officials who are paid for their families, and those officials who do not have family subsidies can easily go down crooked paths.

Pei Tong thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Originally, this matter should not be said by my junior, but since you asked, I am not afraid of your jokes." There is a family rule in our family, and the son of the sect is not allowed to go out. Therefore, like my great-grandfather and grandfather, their careers stopped at lifting people. It's not that they can't afford to continue the exam, but because there are such family rules. When my father was young, he was very well educated, and he was young and vigorous, and he was not satisfied with this family rule, so in order to prove himself, he had to participate in the imperial examination. Later, after being admitted to the Ji Jishi, he insisted on becoming an official. This made Yi Gong very dissatisfied, and he once went to the capital to question my father in person, and the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel at that time, which happened to be my mother's presence...... That's why my grandfather passed on the position of head of the family to my third uncle, and my mother and I both agreed. ”

Gu Chang, the family rule of the Pei family, had heard of it, and now it was confirmed in Pei Tong's mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said: "It's difficult for someone else to come out with a scholar, and your father is actually willing to give up the position of sect master for the sake of his career. ”

Pei Tong smiled and whispered, "You have won the award", but it can still be seen from his demeanor that he is very proud of his father.

Because it turns out that Pei You is not wrong.

He has achieved the rank of three.

He is the most outstanding son of the Pei family in the past three generations.

Gu Chang said: "Regarding your father's last words, no matter what, you still have to figure it out." ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

"You should also think about going to Gu's house to study." Gu Chang had already forgiven Pei Tong at this time, so he naturally took care of him as his brother-in-law in his heart, and he was more protective of him in his words and demeanor, and said, "A family like ours, with several generations of several houses living together, has some contradictions that are not enough for outsiders. I only have one sister, and she only has one brother. As for the rest, if you don't come and go, you can't get together, maybe it's better than your classmates who have studied together since childhood, you tell your in-laws' wife, so that she doesn't have to have too much hope. ”

Instead of counting on the Gu family, it is better to count on the Yang family.

The Yang family has a simple population and does not have so many messy things.

Pei Tong's face was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly restrained his expression, respectfully saluted Gu Chang, thanked him, and promised: "I will make this matter clear to my mother, third uncle, you don't have to worry, I will explain it to him in person." As for my study, I am also ready to talk to Yi Gong, and I believe that with Yi Gong's mind, even if I am wrong, he will not embarrass me. Speaking of this, he looked up at Gu Xi and said apologetically: "It's just that when the time comes, I may have to wronged Miss Gu, and I have to live in Pei Mansion for a few more years, and I can't go back to my parents' house often." ”

What Gu Xi liked was Pei Tong's thoughtfulness.

Hearing him say this, she was suddenly a little glad that Mrs. Pei liked to subsidize her mother's family.

When she gets married, if she also subsidizes her mother's family, Mrs. Pei is unhappy, Pei Tong will definitely be accustomed to it, and she will not have any opinions. They're certainly not going to argue about it.

Gu Xi smiled and said, "Childe is too worried", and his eyes turned to Gu Chang, vaguely with a little meaning of pleading with Pei Tong.

Gu Chang didn't want to embarrass Pei Tong, if Gu Xi really married, he could only count on Pei Tong to protect her, he didn't want to offend people.

"Then I'll go first." He got up and said goodbye, "Yaoguang is still waiting for me over there!" ”

Although they are an unmarried couple, they are not married after all, and Pei Tong is not good to stay long, he said to Gu Xi, "See you tomorrow", and followed Gu Chang out of the courtyard where Gu Xi lived, and politely and politely sent Gu Chang to the hall of the meeting, and said: "I didn't expect you to come over, I knew that this was the case, so I prepared a drink and invited you to have a few drinks." I don't know when you will leave Lin'an? I can't pick you up, let me see you off! Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to live in peace in my heart. ”

The tone of his voice was a bit of a teenager's unique ignorance of the world.

Gu Chang suddenly understood a little why Gu Xi chose Pei Tong as her husband.

I'd rather cultivate a person who suits my temperament and personality than be a person under Pei Yan's nose with trepidation.

This is not his persistence and stubbornness.

Their brother and sister are quite alike!

Gu Chang laughed, and his voice was even gentler. He said to Pei Tong: "After the lecture, I will stay in Lin'an for a few days. I'll have a few drinks with you when the time comes, just don't get drunk. ”

Pei Tong smiled embarrassedly.

The sense of juvenility is heavier.

Gu Chang asked him about his studies.

Pei Tong answered them one by one seriously, arousing Gu Chang's curiosity, and when Pei Tong sent him outside the conference hall, he was reluctant to part with Pei Tong and continue to test Pei Tong's knowledge.

It wasn't until Tao Qing came out of the hall of the meeting and saw that he and Pei Tong were still standing under the ginkgo tree outside the hall talking, and said to him with a smile, "If you Uncle Lang have anything to say tomorrow, we are waiting for you in the room", which interrupted Gu Chang's interest, said "I'm sorry" to Pei Tong apologetically, sent Pei Tong away, and entered the hall with Tao Qing.

Pei Tong stood under the courtyard gate with dripping eaves, and the bright moonlight shone down, making his figure half in the moonlight and half in the shadows.

It was only after a while that he slowly left the courtyard of the council hall.

In the meeting hall, Tao Qing and Pei Yan said Pei Tong: "That kid is getting more and more handsome, and the longer he grows, the more he looks like your family." Has his wedding date been set? You'll have to tell me in advance when he gets married, I'm coming to his wedding. ”

Pei Yan responded with a smile, looking like a good uncle.

Gu Chang couldn't help but glance at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan smiled brightly, completely different from his usual coldness and arrogance, if it weren't for the fact that he had studied Pei Yan well, he almost thought that this Pei Yan in front of him was fake.

A slight surprise rose in his heart.

Pei Tong got married, and he didn't marry himself, is it necessary for him to be so elated?

Gu Chang glanced at Pei Yan again.

Pei Yan not only had a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, but also looked comfortable and easy-going, sitting on the big pillow, not like he was competing with the heads of various prefectures for the sake of profit, and he didn't let him go, but it seemed that he was playing with these masters, and he was very happy.

Gu Chang really couldn't think of anything to be happy about.

He frowned, and in the end, he didn't notice anything from Pei Yan's expression.

Pei Yan was in an extremely good mood, even if Gu Chang looked at him rudely and repeatedly, he didn't lose his temper.

He felt that Yu Tang was still a little stupid.

He is what he says.

Then he has to calculate the affairs of the Li family.

First of all, it is impossible for their family to keep the newly bought house in Hangzhou City, and secondly, it is best to let the Li family's sect house clean them up, so that others have nothing to say. And then Shen Shanyan is there, he has to ask him not to help Li Duan anymore, it is best to turn against him, otherwise with Shen Shanyan's crooked character, if he says who will help the Li family, he will have to spend energy to block it......

He was thinking wildly in his head, so that when Master Wu asked him if he could do it, he didn't react to what Master Wu said, so he had to say vaguely, "I have to think about this matter carefully", which provoked Tao Qing's eye knife, and when Master Wu went to ask others, Tao Qing came over and asked him, "Where did you lose your soul, Master Wu said that the 200,000 taels of silver their family is willing to share, you didn't agree to such a good thing, are you possessed by something?" That's when he realized what he was missing.

But he comforted himself in his heart, all of them were old foxes, and what they promised may not be able to be done, even if they missed, it didn't matter, what mattered was that they could take the money for real money. Even if he is distracted now, he won't be able to delay anything.
