Pei Yan is a resolute person, since Yu Tang felt that there was nothing wrong with giving up the position of the sect master to other heads, he found an opportunity to talk to Pei Xuan about it.

Pei Xuan was very surprised, he said, "Do the elders in the family know about this? What does Mom say? ”

Pei Yan said: "You don't care what others say, just say what you think, right?" ”

Pei Xuan knew that his younger brother had never played cards according to common sense, but he could do whatever he wanted to this extent, and he still couldn't help but admonish him: "How can you ignore what others say?" This is a matter related to the rise and fall of the Pei family's clan, you can't do whatever you want, you should still discuss the elders in the family......"

Pei Yan knew that his brother would say this, he waved his hand, interrupted Pei Xuan's words, and said, "As long as there is change, there will be people who agree and someone who opposes it." But right or wrong most of the time has nothing to do with the number of people, and there are always more ways than difficulties, you just have to tell me what you think according to your own wishes. Just make the impossible possible, and make the possible impossible. ”

When he said this, he was very confident, his tone was categorical, and his expression was calm and natural, but Pei Xuan read a bit of quiet domineering from his expression.

No wonder his father said that it was Pei Yan who could really do things in this family.

His younger brother, since he took over the housework, the family's property has doubled, and their eldest brother's affairs have also passed silently.

Pei Xuan sighed secretly.

If it weren't for their eldest brother, his third brother's achievements would definitely be more than that.

He said solemnly: "I'll think about it carefully. ”

Pei Yan reminded him: "You are valued by the emperor, and it is impossible for you to retire for at least ten years." As your eldest son, in order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible for either the emperor or the court to give him a heavy responsibility, rather than letting him do nothing, it is better to try to take another path. The ones you're worried about, with me, are not a problem. ”

Pei Xuan nodded.

I always feel that compared with my younger brother, I am a little less calm.

But he had to admit that Pei Yan was very reasonable.

There is already a family avoidance system in the officialdom, not to mention that it is impossible for a father and son like them to maneuver.

But in this way, the position of the sect leader falls on their room, what will the other heads of the house think, how not to offend people, whether Ah Hong is willing or not, these must be carefully planned, and the harmony between relatives must not be hurt because of this incident.

When he returned to the house and saw the second wife who came forward to greet him, he found that not only did he not reject Pei Yan's words at all, but along the way, he was thinking about how to make Pei Hong become the son of the sect smoothly.

It can be seen that in his heart, he agrees with Pei Yan's approach.

And his brother, I'm afraid he had already seen his thoughts clearly, so he came to discuss with him.

Pei Xuan smiled bitterly again, sent the people serving around him, and quietly told the second wife about it.

The second wife didn't close her mouth for a long time, and stumbled: "Really! Is what you're saying true? The third uncle wants Ah Hong to be the son of the sect, then, what about Brother Jiang and Brother Qian? Are they going to the imperial examination? The child is still so young, what if the school does not go well? Let Ah Hong give the position of the sect leader to Brother Jiang or Brother Qian'er's descendants? ”

Pei Xuan glanced at the second wife deeply and said, "So, if you don't consider returning the position of the sect master, do you think it's still a good thing?" ”

The Pei family is not a small family, and what the sect master has in his hands is not a small amount of money.

The second wife was afraid that Pei Xuan would suspect that she was greedy, so she hurriedly said: "It's definitely not good to come and go." When the elders at the head of the other rooms saw it, they must have felt that there were no rules in our sect room, so why let them come and go like this, one room is dominant. But don't pay it back, this, this is too ......"

Take too much advantage.

The second wife was embarrassed to speak.

Pei Xuan shook his head and said, "I think what Yaoguang said makes sense." ”

No matter what the decision is, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied, so it is better to think about what you want first.

"As for Brother Jiang and Brother Qian," he paused, "with Yaoguang's character, I must have helped them think about it a long time ago." We don't have to worry about it. It's just a red brother...... Whether he is willing or not, that's what matters. ”

If Pei Hong is unwilling, how can Pei Yan choose?

That's what makes people feel a headache.

The second wife said "oh", and walked out in a panic: "I'll let someone call Ah Hong over." ”

Pei Xuan nodded and told the second wife: "Don't tell anyone about this matter for the time being." Including Adam. The elders of the family still don't know it! ”

"I'll save it!" The second wife knew the seriousness of the matter, and said busily, "I won't say anything about anyone." ”

But Yu Tang must know.

She went to tell Yu Tang that it shouldn't matter!

When Pei Xuan was talking to Pei Hong, she ran to Yu Tang in a hurry, hurriedly pulled Yu Tang, who was talking to Qingyuan, into the courtyard, and whispered about Pei Yan's request for Pei Hong to be the son of the sect, and said, "Do you know about this?" What do you think? Our second master is talking to Ah Hong, if you think it's inappropriate, I'll stop it. ”

Yu Tang has always felt sorry for Pei Yan who was stumped by the responsibility of the Pei family's sect master, even Brother Jiang, and he can't help but see the future, if Pei Hong is willing to be the son of the Pei family, although there is no merit or difference for nothing, he is relatively free and easy.

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

She can also understand the second wife's worries.

The second wife was afraid that she would think that Pei Hong had robbed Brother Jiang and Brother Qian of their positions.

She held the second wife's hand tightly and said to her sincerely: "The third master told me about this matter, but I feel wronged Ah Hong - after all, I will have to keep the family business in my hometown in the future, and the eldest son will not be able to go out." ”

When the second wife heard this, the whole talent relaxed, and suddenly thought of "arsenic of A, honey of B".

For many people, giving their son a visible future is the most important thing, but for others, it may be a constraint.

She was afraid that Yu Tang would be unhappy, and Yu Tang was afraid that she would be unhappy!

The second wife couldn't help but take Yu Tang's shoulders and said with a smile: "No wonder we can be concubines, we are all people who like to think about others." ”

are afraid that the other party will be unhappy.

Yu Tang laughed, she hugged the second wife back, and said, "That Ah Hong......"

"Oops!" The second lady thought about the father and son who were still talking in the study, and hurriedly said, "I still have to go and see." You are busy with yours first, and I will tell you immediately when I have the letter. ”

Yu Tang nodded with a smile and sent the second wife out.

Mrs. Pei called Yu Tang over and said, "What is the second daughter-in-law doing?" ”

Yu Tang didn't know what to say, so he vaguely perfunctory.

Mrs. Pei paid attention, and the next day left the second lady to speak.

The second lady didn't dare to hide it from the old lady, and told the old lady everything that had happened.

The old lady's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", and she immediately asked Pei Yan to come over and speak.

The second lady saw that the old lady's face was wrong, so she made an excuse and slipped away, and found a little girl to call Pei Xuan back.

The old lady endured her anger and said to Pei Yan: "You and your daughter-in-law have the same heart, don't tell me anything, I'm old, and I also like to be a family, so I don't care about it." But this involves the interests of Brother Jiang and Brother Qian, even if you are Lao Tzu, you can't just let it out. I don't agree with this! ”

The palms and backs of these hands are all meat, how come you are old, only the palms of the hands have no backs!

Pei Yan was speechless and enlightened the old lady: "Didn't you also say that Brother Jiang can read?" Why should we delay him? ”

Mrs. Pei said angrily: "Brother Jiang can read, but Brother Qian is still young!" Look at him like that, I grew up holding it in the palm of my hand, who dares to pat his chest and say that he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination? If he can't pass the exam, where do you go to find a future for him? ”

Pei Yan muttered in his heart when he heard this.

How strict they used to be with their brothers, because of the boss's affairs, they couldn't even kiss Pei Tong and Pei Fei, but now that they are old, this kind of irresponsible words can be said.

Pei Yan looked at the upright old mother, and pondered for a moment before saying: "The Pei family is the result of the struggle of the ancestors of the past generations, not ours. We can't take everything for granted. At the beginning, the eldest brother violated the ancestral system, not to mention the official, and caused a big disaster. Our sect also gave me the position of the sect master. The elders of the clan not only have no objections, but also support me as the sect master, and everything is based on our sect leader. We can't help but know what is going on. When the eldest son can study, he will hand over the position of the suzerain to the second son, and if the second son can read, let the eldest son be the suzerain, isn't there no rules. And how far can a family without rules go?

"If Ah Hong is also a person who can read, or if the second brother did not enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, the sect master would stay in my room, but now, Ah Hong is obviously unable to make achievements in his career, and the eldest brother's room has been divided out, just taking this opportunity to return to the original owner, and everyone has nothing to say. If I let my sons take turns to be the suzerain, what is the difference between that and bullying honest people?

"We can't eat meat and drink soup at the same time, and leave no one else alive!"

Mrs. Pei didn't know anything, but Brother Jiang and Brother Qian grew up under her nose, and she was very reluctant.

The old man said toughly: "What did Ah Hong say? ”

"He agreed." Pei Yan said with a smile, "This kid is also reliable." He said that he had never thought of helping me take care of the housework, and that he wanted to learn from me for a few days first, and if he could, it would not be too late for him to take over. If it doesn't work, you might as well choose from other rooms, or wait for Brother Jiang and they to grow up. “

Old Madam Pei's face was slightly pale, and she said, "What this kid said makes sense, you don't have to make a decision in such a hurry." The second child is the second product, and it is not ready-made to donate an official to his son. ”

The implication is that if Brother Jiang can't do anything, Pei Hong has Pei Xuan's own scheme.

Pei Yan couldn't cry or laugh, shouted "Mom", and said: "You can just say this in front of me, if it is heard by the second brother and second sister-in-law, how sad it will be!" You can't ask Ah Hong to take care of Brother Jiang'er's future just because he has a father to take care of him, it's not fair. It is also easy to cause conflicts between our two rooms. ”

Old Madam Pei ignored it at all, thinking about how to ensure what Brother Jiang and Brother Qian would do in the future.
