Chapter 234: Last Words
Pei Yan waved his hand at Yu Tang with a disapproving look and said, "I still have something to do, you can go in!" Remember to go over early tomorrow, Miss Gu's side, I won't let her appear, but you have to be careful yourself, I have a lot of thoughts when I look at Miss Gu. ”
can also instigate Gu Chang to come to him and see if he can kill Gu Chang.
Mind their family's affairs, this is the first time in his life that he has encountered it!
After speaking, he left in a dashing manner, and Yu Tang didn't have time to thank him.
But that's good news.
Yu Tang stood there full of joy, and the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed for a long time.
She jumped back into the house.
The mother-in-law of the Wei family and the Wu family was about to say goodbye to the Chen family, and the Chen family looked at Yu Tang's joy that he couldn't hide no matter what, and said a few polite words to the mother-in-law of the two families, and then served tea.
The mother-in-law of the two families respectfully blessed Chen and Yu Tang and retreated cautiously. But as soon as he retreated, he couldn't help but whisper: "Miss Yu is getting more and more beautiful as she grows." ”
"Isn't it? In the past, I just thought it was a sight to behold, but now I can't help but want to see it again. ”
"Special people are also very generous! Just now, the tone of my voice was refreshing, decent and considerate, and it was rare for me to live at such an old age. ”
"Otherwise, why do Pei Lao'an people like to recruit her into the mansion as a companion? I don't know who is blessed to be their son-in-law in the future? ”
The two chattered and walked away, but the Chen family pulled their daughter into the inner room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said in a low voice: "What did the third master tell you to do?" ”
She was afraid that her daughter would offend the Pei family.
After all, she also agreed to the matter of pretending to be sick.
Yu Tang hurriedly patted his mother's hand comfortingly, and quietly told the Chen family about the Li family, but considering the Chen family's ability to accept it, Yu Tang concealed Pei Yan's plans for the Li family, and only said about the Li family's crimes.
Chen listened to the tears falling down his eyes, and said ruthlessly: "Yes! Their family deserves such retribution. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "This is a great event!" When I see Mrs. Wei tomorrow, I have to talk to her and say that I will go and put some incense sticks on the Bodhisattva. ”
Although the Li family deserves it, the Chen family is not the kind of person who likes to talk about people behind their backs, and if the Li family commits something, naturally some people will publicize it everywhere, and they can't tell her about it. All she had to do was have fun with Mrs. Wei.
She asked Yu Tang: "Then like their family, do you have to confiscate a large amount of silver?" Can their family's newly bought house in Hangzhou still be kept? ”
If the Li family returned to Lin'an City, she would definitely let those who were good friends with her ignore the Li family.
Yu Tang said: "It depends on how the court decides in the end." However, you also know that no matter how rich a person is, he may go bankrupt if he gets into a lawsuit, let alone a big case like the Li family? Even if they can keep the house in Hangzhou, the house is so big, and it will cost a lot of silver to raise such a big house. ”
If Li Duan still wants to continue the imperial examination, the cost will be even greater. Even if the Li family still has some old foundations, eight or nine out of ten will be hollowed out.
Yu Tang thought about it, and felt more and more that Pei Yan was really good.
This is indeed much better than what she thought before to kill Li Duan or make Li Duan unable to pass the imperial examination from now on.
It's like hanging a piece of meat in front of a wolfdog, but it will never be able to see and eat, and you have to rack your brains to find a way for this piece of meat.
She couldn't help but say: "This matter is thanks to the third master, if he hadn't sent someone to investigate the Li family, the things that Li Yi did hadn't happened so early, and the Li family would not have been detained." Mom, it's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know your face but you don't know your heart. Although the third master is eliminating harm for the people, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will attack the third master for their own selfish interests and frame their fellow villagers. You know, I know, my father knows, just let other people know, but don't reveal half a point, lest the third master do a good deed and cause trouble to the third master. ”
Chen nodded again and again, and promised: "Even Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu will not say anything." I just said that the Li family committed an accident, I heard the people of the Pei family talk about it, and just tell them. ”
Yu Tang bowed his head.
Chen sighed: "The third master is really a good person! Good for our family too! When you meet him in the future, you have to be respectful, and you must be sincerely filial to Pei Laoan. ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips secretly.
With Pei Yan's character, the clay man can also be angry and come back to life. Every time she is with him, she pinched her temper to make him feel good or not, respectful, and that was also respectful on the surface. But you can be more filial and filial to the old people, she is open-minded and generous, even if there is no Pei Yan relationship, she will treat the old people well.
But in front of Chen, of course, she won't say anything, just smile and say "yes".
The two of them packed up their things for the lecture meeting tomorrow and went to rest separately.
On Gu Xi's side, the atmosphere was very solemn.
She said: "Brother, I don't believe that Master Pei once left such a last word. Although I have only met Pei Dagongzi twice, Pei Dagongzi has a lot of respect for his father in his words and deeds, and his respect for his mother is also because his father valued his mother very much during his lifetime. I don't believe that Pei Dagongzi is a treacherous person. I wonder if there is some misunderstanding in this? ”
Gu Chang's forehead was bruised, and he said violently: "Could it be that Pei Yaoguang will still lie to me?" Your marriage with the Pei family was set in too much hurry. ”
Gu Xi's face was blue and red for a while.
There was something she didn't say to Gu Chang.
When Mrs. Pei came to test her tone, she had actually heard that she was not the best candidate in Mrs. Pei's mind, and Mrs. Pei was most satisfied with her niece, but because Pei Dagongzi and her cousin were in love, she regarded the other cousins and cousins of the Yang family as her own sisters, and let him suddenly change to the person who wanted to marry, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
But for her, the eldest son of the Pei family is the best marriage candidate she can contact.
She didn't want to give up.
That's why the marriage was decided so quickly.
But it's too late to say anything now.
She can't quit her relatives twice in a short period of time, especially since one of them is the Pei family.
The Pei family can't afford to lose this face, and the Gu family won't agree to her withdrawal as easily as last time.
There is another important reason why she can insist on her own opinion in front of Gu Chang - she believes in her eyes and feelings, Mrs. Pei must be selfish, which she saw at that time. Pei Dagongzi can't be the person her brother said, with Pei Dagongzi's background, character, and appearance, he can find someone better than her, and he doesn't have to lie to her about this kind of thing.
Thinking like this, Gu Xi was suddenly full of confidence.
She said in a deep voice: "Brother, this matter is that the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public says that the public is reasonable." I think it's better to call Master Pei over and discuss this matter with him. Speaking of which, this matter is his own business, we are just a hand, and in the end, he still has to make his own decisions. Brother should take the opportunity to see what kind of person he is. When I looked for a husband, I didn't expect him to help my brother much, but I couldn't hold my brother back. ”
The implication is that if Pei Dagongzi is really so unbearable, she wants to withdraw from her family.
Gu Chang regretted at this time that their brother and sister should not be involved in the grievances of the Pei family. It's just that the Pei family is a piece of fat, and after knowing the details of their family, it is difficult not to make people salivate.
"Then meet the eldest son of the Pei family." Gu Chang said solemnly, "If he is useless, let's think about what to do!" ”
It is impossible to withdraw from relatives, and it can only be seen if the Pei family and Pei Yan can be used to control Pei You's room.
The brother and sister looked at each other tacitly.
Gu Chang sent someone to take his post and invite Pei Dagongzi over.
Pei Tong lives with his brother Pei Fei, his second uncle Pei Xuan, and his cousin Pei Hong in the Zen courtyard in the west, which is very close to where Gu Xi lives. It only took a quarter of an hour for him to come.
He has just turned eighteen years old this year, and he has the facial features of Zhang and Pei Yan five or six points, and he is in his youth, like a thin and vigorous green bamboo, and there is already a bit of wind and bones in his youth.
It can be seen that he is a child who has been carefully nurtured and taught by the family.
Gu Chang nodded secretly. originally wanted to talk to Pei Tong properly, but thinking of Pei Yan who was still waiting in the conference hall, he got straight to the point, and after inviting Pei Tong to sit down, he told Pei Tong everything about him going to Pei Yan.
Pei Tong's eyes widened in shock, and as soon as Gu Chang's words fell, he jumped up and said loudly: "Impossible!" My mother respects my father the most, and if my father had such a last word, she would not have disobeyed his last word. ”
Gu Chang's heart sank, and he said, "You mean Pei Yaoguang is lying?!" ”
Pei Tong did doubt this, but the warmth and coldness after his father's death let him know that if he challenged the majesty of his elders, it would only make people suspect him of evil intentions.
He immediately said, "No, I'm not suspicious of my third uncle. Rather......" At this point, he suddenly stopped, his face hesitant.
Gu Chang frowned and said, "Did you think of something?" ”
Pei Tong's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "When my father died, my brother and I were not by my father's side...... Mother is not there either...... It was my grandfather who was by my father's side......" He looked up at Gu Chang with a firm and resolute look in his eyes, "But I swear that my grandfather didn't tell me until he died of illness that my father had such a last word." I only know that before my grandfather died, he called the two cousins, Yigong and Wanggong, and said that he would let the third uncle be the sect master. So no matter what people outside say, the people in our family always recognize the third uncle as the head of the family. I just wondered, if my father left such a last word, why didn't my grandfather tell me? The third uncle has never mentioned it before? My mother and father have always respected each other, my mother has been depressed since my father's death, my uncle and aunt are very worried about her, my brother and I are both boys, and there will inevitably be negligence in speaking and acting, my mother has always wanted to wait for my father to go back to her mother's house to live for a few days after he is gone, and she is unwilling to be separated from our brother, so she wants me to go to my grandfather's study.
I wanted to take care of my mother, so I didn't object.
Suddenly my father's last words came out, I, I don't know what to do? ”
