Gu Xi knew Pei Tong's temperament, which was a bit soft, so his ears were relatively soft.

She was afraid that a few words from Master Yang would make Pei Tong change his mind.

Gu Xi was so anxious that he thought about it, and felt that this was not something he could handle, so he simply gritted his teeth, went to the second wife, and told her about Master Yang's coming to Pei Tong.

The second wife also became nervous when she heard this, dropped the account book she was dealing with, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to your third uncle." ”

Gu Xi didn't like to deal with Yu Tang very much, especially some bad things in her house. Instinctively, she evaded, "Or, I'm still not going?" The second uncle and mother went to tell the third uncle. ”

Anyway, this matter is not something that Gu Xi can solve.

The second wife shook her head and took the opportunity to point out to Gu Xi: "Although the people in the family are not very particular, there are some things that cannot be handled casually. Like what you said, I thought that we, the women of the inner house, must have no choice, and we must ask your second or third uncle to come forward no matter what. If your second uncle is in the mansion, I will tell him how he arranges it, and that is his business. But your second uncle is not in the house at this time, so we'd better go and tell your third uncle and let your third uncle tell your third uncle. It is extremely inappropriate for us to go directly to your third uncle and aunt past your third uncle. ”

Gu Xi's face suddenly turned red.

The second wife almost pointed at her and said that she didn't understand the rules.

This is general etiquette, she is a girl from a Jiangnan family, how can she not know? The second wife would say this, firstly because of what she had just said, and secondly, mostly because she was a girl who grew up in the hands of her stepmother, and suspected that she had not learned the rules.

Gu Xi didn't know whether to be glad that he grew up under his stepmother at this time, or to be glad that his second wife was kind-hearted and didn't think much about it.

Otherwise, the second wife would definitely see her attitude towards Yu Tang.

Gu Xi sighed in his heart and went to Yu Tang with the second wife.

Yu Tang was sitting at the stone table under the grape trellis and talking to Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan saw that the second wife and Gu Xi were coming, so he hurriedly got up and said hello to them hastily, and then got up to say goodbye.

The second wife said apologetically, "Are we bothering you?" ”

But what she wants to say is too important, and even so, she can only be aggrieved and depressed.

Yu Tang shook his head with a smile and said, "No bother." The matter was almost over, and he was about to leave! ”

The second wife didn't ask much, and quickly told Yu Tang about Pei Tong, and said: "I have to tell the third uncle quickly, I always feel that the eldest master of the Yang family is not good and will have an accident." ”

Yu Tang also became anxious when he heard this, and said: "The third master was called by Master Zhang, so I sent someone to tell him." ”

The second wife nodded again and again, breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed with Yu Tang: "You say, do you want to send someone to talk to the second master?" ”

"Listen to the meaning of the third master!" Yu Tang was not only afraid that something would happen to Pei Tong, but also that he would be shocked and let others see the jokes, "Isn't the second master still in the yamen?" ”

The second wife didn't insist anymore after thinking about it, and watched Yu Tang tell others to find Pei Yan.

Gu Xi has not spoken since he entered Yu Tang's door.

Yu Tang, sitting under the grape trellis, is wearing a bright silver-red silk gauze gown, a jade butterfly love flower button, a white mutton fat jade bracelet on his wrist, and a frost on his wrist, which is so bright that people can't take their eyes off it. And her cousin was also very different from when she saw her in Lin'an before. Wearing a royal blue Hangzhou silk straight jacket, wearing a black scarf, a purse with jade embroidered gold thread around the waist, seven gold things, a string of dazzling things, plus fair skin, probably because life is getting better and better, the expression is peaceful and gentle, looking like a young master from a big family studying, where like a small businessman, so she can't help but think of the words "live and move the qi, nourish the body".

Gu Xi couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

With the Pei family as a backer, it was really different, and it turned over.

She lowered her eyes, not wanting others to discover her thoughts at this time, so as not to cause trouble in Pei Tong's matter.

However, why did Yu Yuan come to find Yu Tang? Although she was a little far away just now, she could see the bright smile on Yu Yuan's face clearly.

When Yu Tang explained the matter, she pulled her sleeve at the second wife and said, "Shall we go back and wait for news?" Uncle Yu ...... here just now."

The second wife was reminded by her, showed an expression of sudden realization, and hurriedly said to Yu Tang: "What is the matter with Uncle Yu and Young Master Yu coming over?" Don't let us delay. ”

Gu Xi, always don't stop!

Yu Tang sighed in his heart, glanced at her with a smile, and then replied to the second wife's words: "It's really nothing!" His affairs in the capital have been completed, and he will return to Lin'an in the next two days. One is to tell me, and the other is to ask me if there is anything I want to bring back to Lin'an. I thought that he still had a few days to prepare, so I didn't go and tell you—do you have anything to bring back to Lin'an?" I'll ask him to bring it for us. ”

The second wife suddenly raised her eyebrows and said: "That's good, this year's Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, we can't do filial piety under Lao Anren's knees, and it's great that Uncle Yu can help me bring something back." Speaking of this, she remembered Yu Yuan's purpose for coming to the capital, and said, "Then the matter of the Chamber of Commerce is settled?" Isn't your family going to be busy this year and next year? ”

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Stop! Not only did I talk about the tribute, but my brother also met several businessmen in Guangdong and Fujian because he came to the capital this time, and said that he would make gift boxes for their shops in the capital. My brother said that he would discuss with my uncle when he went back this time, to see if he could bring some apprentices to the capital to open a shop and make gift boxes for these people. ”

The second wife was stunned, and then boasted: "I think this is a good idea!" The people in Beijing are very particular, and the gift box is very demanding, and there are many wants. There are a lot of officials in Jiangnan in the capital, if your brother comes to open a shop, not to mention anything else, for the sake of the villagers, everyone will definitely be willing to do business with him first, and the business should be okay. ”

Yu Tang also thought so, so when Yu Yuan told her about it, she agreed very much.

The second wife began to help the Yu family with advice.

Which Sanpin masters in the capital are from Jiangnan? Which ones are there to socialize with? Which ones are less social? What kind of yamen do they manage, do they need gift boxes?

She and Yu Tang talked with relish, but Gu Xi listened to it next to her, but she only felt irritable.

Pei Tong has been out for almost an hour, if Master Yang has any malice, the Pei family is afraid that it will be too late, the second wife and Yu Tang are not worried about Pei Tong's safety, but they are chatting happily here...... Sure enough, biological brothers are biological brothers, uncles and nephews are uncles and nephews, no matter how you say it in normal times, it is still impossible to level a bowl of water at a critical time.

She saw an opportunity to interrupt the words of the second wife and Yu Tang, and said, "Has Shopkeeper Yu set a date to return to Lin'an?" I see if you want to go back with me! ”

Yu Tang was stunned.

The second wife was very embarrassed, told Yu Tang about Gu Xi's plan, and persuaded Gu Xi for a while, pulling the topic to Pei Tong again.

Yu Tang pouted.

Pei Yan is back.

His face was a little unsightly, and he asked Gu Xi: "Are you sure that Ah Tong went out with his uncle?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

Gu Xi snorted and said, "The little maid at home watched them walk together. Is something wrong? After saying that, she was so frightened that her eyes were moist.

If Pei Tong has three long and two short, what can she do?

Pei Yan nodded and instructed Pei Wu, who was following him: "Keep looking." Let Mr. Chan also help him think about where he might go? ”

Pei Wu bowed his head and was about to make a promise, when a little guy in Gu Xi's house ran over and said, "Young grandma, young master is back." ”

Everyone was happy.

Gu Xi even asked the little guy: "When did the eldest young master come back?" Where are the people? Are there any injuries? ”

The little maid was confused when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, the eldest young master came back alone, and now he is lying in the study." The eldest young master's clothes are neat, and he doesn't look like he is injured. But he looked a little dazed, we greeted him, he didn't even look at it, and he didn't know what was going on? ”

Is it related to the so-called "evidence" of Master Yang?

Gu Xi looked anxiously at the second wife.

The second wife gritted her teeth and asked Pei Yan, "Shall we go and have a look?" ”

Definitely going to check it out. Not only that, but also ask him what Master Yang told him.

Pei Yan was going to take Chen Shu, a staff member, over by himself, but when he looked at Yu Tang's curious eyes that seemed brighter than usual, he thought about it and decided to go together, so as not to let Yu Tang chase him after him and ask him about the matter after he came back, and he would have to talk about it in a mixed manner.

"Then let's go over together!" Pei Yan said and took the lead out of the hall.

When the second wife heard this, she immediately stood up, packed up and followed Pei Yan to the place where Gu Xi and Pei Tong lived.

When he walked to the gazebo at the corner of the stream, Pei Tong suddenly stumbled towards him.

Pei Yan saw that his face was pale, his eyes were straight, his steps were staggering, and his mind was a little dazed as if he was drunk, and he shouted "Ah Tong" sharply, and said angrily: "What's wrong with you?" The soul is not gone! ”

They are all people who have become relatives, and they are still acting so unsteadily.

He criticized in his heart, for Pei Tong's sake of marrying his wife, he would not reprimand him in front of everyone and not let him lose face.

Who knew that Pei Tong didn't seem to understand what Pei Yan said at all, hearing Pei Yan's reprimand, he looked over with a dead face, and then his steps paused, his face changed suddenly, seeing Pei Yan's eyes full of hatred, he bumped into it angrily, and reached out to pick Pei Yan's collar: "It's you!" Isn't it you? You've hurt my father! You framed him! You're against him! You betrayed him! It's you, it's all you! If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have died! You won't die without turning a blind eye! It won't even be that the aftermath has not been arranged! It won't leave our mother and son without a place to live! Pei Yaoguang, are you worthy of being our uncle? Is he worthy of being the suzerain of the Pei family? The more he spoke, the more angry he became, the louder his voice became, and finally he shouted, "You pay for my father's life."
