The second wife gave up her share to Pei Tong, not to the Yang family.

When she heard this, she immediately trembled with anger, sat up straight and said nervously: "Then what did Ah Fei say?" ”

Gu Xi sighed and said, "It's not confused. Uncle is naturally unwilling. My mother-in-law had a big fight with him about it. ”

She gave Pei Fei an idea, opened the spring, and went to study in the academy outside, if someone asked, he said that he asked his second uncle Pei Xuan to help keep the silver, and if someone wanted to borrow the silver, he would go to Pei Xuan.

Although Pei Fei has been in the capital for several years, there is a difference between men and women, and the eldest lady didn't like Gu Xi very much later, and she didn't arrange her less in front of her two sons, Pei Fei and Gu Xi's relationship was very estranged, this time Gu Xi gave him ideas unusually, and he was surprised and suddenly realized some reasons why the eldest lady didn't like Gu Xi before.

It should be the same thing as losing his temper with him now - he didn't listen to her and helped the Yang family wholeheartedly.

But the Yang family has drifted away from their family because of his eldest brother's failure before, why do they still have a hot face to stick to the Yang family's cold ass.

Anyway, Pei Fei is a descendant of the Pei family, and he has not been angry, although his career is not smooth, but no one will sarcastically mock him in front of him, he still has a youthful arrogance, and he doesn't look down on the Yang family's style.

He not only listened to Gu Xi's words, but also talked back to his mother and said to the eldest wife: "I don't care how you discuss it. No one can touch my share. If my mother thinks that the affairs of my uncle's family are more important, I remember that my mother still has a lot of dowries in her hands, so it is better to sell them to help my uncle's family, and it can be regarded as returning the goods to the original owner. ”

The eldest lady was so angry that she scolded Pei Fei for being "selfish".

Pei Fei sneered and walked away.

Gu Xi felt that Pei Fei was quite interesting, so he simply added another fire and said, "In the past, there was Pei Fu to protect him, but everyone didn't think so. Now that we are on our own, we have to spend money everywhere, and we have to pay a high price. Not to mention anything else, just this year's charcoal, Pei Fu ordered a part, the Tao family, the Fei family, and the Qin family sent a part, our family, part of it was bought at the market price, and some of it was snapped up, which was twice as expensive as the market price. This back and forth, our family's expenses of 4,000 taels of silver a year can't be stopped. Now there are only more than 10,000 taels of silver left in the public middle school, otherwise, you can post a little more, and we will make up 20,000 taels to send to my uncle's family, which can be regarded as a little favor for us.

"But in this way, what about the expenses of the public school? I have to give you an idea.

"Or is it just me and my uncle? Or do we all come up with a fixed number? It's good to say, what was the past, what will be the future? If you come up with a fixed number, then you can spend as much as you can in a year. If it is not enough, reduce the number of servants in the house, and if it is not enough, chew and save another province. It should last for several years. ”

He also said, "According to me, it would be better for each of us to take a fixed number." Otherwise, you can spread as much as you want, and if you can't get in or out, you can lose all the money. ”

This is to cut her expenses!

The eldest lady would never agree. But the money in the family is in Gu Xi's hands, if she wants to move, she has to go through Gu Xi, which will alarm Pei Xuan and Gu Chang, and the eldest lady feels that if things really come to that point, it will only make the Yang family faceless, and make people think that her mother's family is about to fall.

She hated it, but she didn't say anything more to Gu Xi.

As long as Gu Xi doesn't make it clear to herself, she pretends to be confused and doesn't know.

And the second wife was relieved when she heard that Pei Fei had rejected the eldest wife, and asked with concern: "Do you really have to spend 4,000 taels of silver a year all these years?" ”

She didn't have so many when she was in charge.

Gu Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered to the second wife: "How is it possible!" If I don't say that, my mother-in-law doesn't know what will happen again! ”

The second wife sighed when she heard this, patted her hand and said, "I'm really embarrassed for you." When your brother returns to the capital, it will definitely be much better. ”

Sun Gao's matter is still a big trouble, and Gu Chang went to Baoding to be the prefect four years ago in order to avoid some gossip in the capital.

Pei Xuan felt a little pity, but he still had Pei Chan and Pei Bo to take care of, so he could only sigh a few words with the second wife in private.

Gu Xi was very confident.

She knew that the Yin family would help her brother plan.

chatted with the second wife for a few words about her mother's home, and a housekeeper came in to show her and said, "Do you want to clean up the small courtyard in the west alone?" ”

Gu Xi knew that it was where she used to live in Pei Mansion.

She pricked up her ears to listen.

The second wife thought for a while and said, "Let's clean it up, right?" I don't know who else will come with me besides the little master of the Wei family? If there are too many people, it will definitely not be good for them all to live in that small courtyard, if there is only the little master of the Wei family, it is best to clean up a secluded courtyard. ”

The mother-in-law smiled and went away.

Gu Xi couldn't help but say, "The little young master of the Wei family? Whose in-laws are they? ”

She intended to tell Pei Fei about her family, so that the 45,000 taels of silver that Pei Fei left in her hands would not fall into the hands of the eldest lady. She just wants to let the Yang family and the eldest lady see that they can't eat.

Those who are familiar with it are unlikely to marry Pei Fei, but like the Yang family married by the second miss of the Pei family, or the Hu family married by Miss Pei Si, if there is a side branch of the young lady, it will be the right one in Yemen.

The second wife smiled and said, "It's a relative of your third uncle's mother's family." The youngest son of the family used to study in the county school, and Mr. Fang also taught him. Later, Mr. Fang left, and the kid followed Master Yu to read for a while, and Master Yu recommended him to your third uncle. That kid is going to end this year, so he'll come with your third uncle. ”

Gu Xi was taken aback.

She knew that Yu Tang's mother's brother was doing well in business, but she didn't expect that there would be a person who reads.

If you are not afraid of money, you are afraid that someone in your family will be able to make a career.

Gu Xi's smile couldn't help but be a little reluctant, and said, "Third Uncle still has time to teach people to read!" I really didn't expect it. Is that Young Master Wei very smart? Listening to this tone is not very old, have you ever seen it? ”

"I haven't seen it." The second wife smiled, "It should be a good character, otherwise with your third uncle's character, he will be idle and will not take trouble to accept a student." The child is not very old and has not yet been engaged. Your third uncle and aunt came to the capital this time and wanted to tell him about the right family affairs. In addition to asking me, I also asked Mrs. Yin. I thought, with Mrs. Yin's personality, I am afraid that I have already pondered all the girls of the right age in the capital. As soon as your third aunt arrives, there should be good news for her. ”

Yin Mingyuan has been mixing in the Hanlin Academy for the past few years, as if he has no intention of pursuing a career, and his body is still sick and crooked as before, but he has published a lot of books. Some people even said that he might become the most famous Confucian in this dynasty, and those people in the Hanlin Academy had special respect for him.

Xu gave birth to one child after another, and is now the mother of four children.

The first three are sons, and the youngest is a daughter, who only fell into the grass last month, but has never done a full moon ceremony.

Gu Xi had also inquired about why before, but the Yin family only said that the weather was too cold, and they did not do a full moon, but only a hundred days ceremony.

Xu didn't want to wait for Yu Tang to come to the capital, right?

This thought flashed in Gu Xi's heart, and she immediately denied it again.

The Yin family will not really have the final say in the Xu family, how can they change their daughter's celebration in order to wait for Yu Tang to come to Beijing?

However, the Xu family really knows a lot of people, and if she is the matchmaker, no matter whose face it is, it is really quite sure.

She thought of Pei Fei.

Gu Xi shook his head in his heart.

If it was in the past, she could have begged the second wife to go to the Xu family to ask, but now, ...... People like Yin and Li don't send her invitations much for any happy event, she just asks for Xu's place, and Xu will only politely refuse.

But she was still curious if Xu could help.

She smiled and said to the second wife, "I don't know what Young Master Wei is looking for?" If Young Master Wei's marriage can be decided, you tell me, and I will also hear an interesting story. ”

The second wife smiled: "That child is a squire at home, white, I think I must be looking for someone who can help." ”

As for whether it is an economic foil or a career foil, you have to see Yu Tang to know.

While the two were talking, Pei Dan suddenly came over.

The second wife was so frightened that the teacup almost fell to the ground, and asked the maid who came to the ceremony: "Why did she come back without saying hello?" What about my uncle? Did you send her back? Did she take Brother Sen? What does it look like? ”

Sen'er is Pei Dan's eldest son.

The maid was a little confused by the second wife's question, and said, "Grandma is so good, happy, I didn't bring the little master over, saying that I had something to ask you, and I will leave after asking." ”

"This kid!" The second wife was still very worried, and got up to greet her, but Pei Dan lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Mommy!" She cried out for joy.

Compared with when she was a girl, she has grown a little taller and fatter, but her complexion is getting better and better, and her personality is more cheerful and lively than before.

Seeing that Gu Xi was also there, she shouted "Sister-in-law" at Gu Xi with a smile, then took the second wife's arm, and said angrily: "You don't care if I eat or drink, I accompanied my mother-in-law to see Mrs. Zhang, she took Brother Sen's house, my carriage walked behind, turned a corner, and came to ask you, is the third uncle coming over?" With two little cousins? I saw the aunt and grandmother of the Zhang family at Zhang's house, she went to see Mrs. Yin a few days ago, Mrs. Yin said that the third uncle and mother will come to the capital in the next few days, and she helped the third uncle's maiden brother to see each other! ”

What a mess this is!

The eldest lady of the Zhang family married the son of Yang Chunhe, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Yang Chunhe is very important to Yin Mingyuan, and it is said that this family business is still a matchmaker made by the Xu family.

The second wife smiled and frowned, and said, "I think you are just playing crazy with Mrs. Yin, and you will not mess around with her in the future." He added, "Your third uncle and aunt are indeed going to the capital in the next two days, and your grandmother will also come over, and I will go to Tongzhou with your father and Ah Hong to pick up your grandmother and your third uncle." I'll tell you two days in advance. You also tell your uncle. ”
