Chapter 384: Dumu
Gu Chang's head is big.
Old lady Pei has been dead for three years, that is to say, it has been three years since Pei Yan took over the affairs of the Pei family, and even if there are any uneven accounts, he has already done so. How much money did Mrs. Pei leave behind, and it was impossible to see anything from the accounts.
And with the status of Mrs. Pei, 300,000 taels of silver, Pei Yan is already a conscience price, and Pei Tong, who wants to divide the property, is very worthy of him.
But he didn't want Pei Tong to divide the sect.
In the long run, dividing the sect is very unfavorable to Pei Tong.
Let's not say that Pei Tong has not yet entered the ranks, let's talk about Pei Fei. Pei You died, Pei Tong is the eldest son, Pei Fei is his responsibility, without the big umbrella of Pei Fu, Pei Fei is the second son who has to rely on his brother, what good family can he say?
Without a good family business, how can their brothers stay warm together, and how can they have a good future?
Besides, Pei You's so-called peers and colleagues, with Pei Xuan, an uncle who is in his prime, who will go beyond Pei Xuan and invest resources in Pei Tong, who has not yet become a climate and cannot see the future.
If Pei Tong really has something, can't he find Pei Xuan?
If Pei Xuan helps Pei Tong, this relative will still be there. If Pei Xuan doesn't help Pei Tong, who still thinks Pei Tong is a child of the Pei family?
There are many people who put icing on the cake, but there are few people who send charcoal in the snow!
Why was Pei Tong so short-sighted and agreed to leave the sect?
Gu Chang suspected that Master Yang had done something.
Why didn't Gu Xi stop it?
He glared at Gu Xi with some hatred, shouted "nonsense", and said to the two Pei brothers: "Let's discuss this matter again!" ”
Gu Xi was full of grievances.
She vaguely felt that her brother would not agree to split the family, but she was a woman in the house, so why did she stop Pei Tong and Master Yang?
Besides, she thinks it's okay to divide it like this.
Her own life will definitely get by as well.
Gu Xi pouted and lowered his head.
Gu Chang sighed and felt that he was angry with his sister.
How many people can become Pei Yan's opponents!
If Pei Yan wanted to throw Pei Tong out and pass alone, even if he was there, he might not be able to stop it.
But he still didn't give up, and he didn't want to give up like this.
He asked Pei Tong: "Your two uncles are not scheming people, there are some things you have to think about." It's no use crying over spilt milk.. ”
Pei Tong couldn't help but hesitate again when he heard this.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Yang next to him hurriedly reminded Pei Tong with a smile: "This is also what your grandfather meant." Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed on the position of sect master to your third uncle. When you leave, the young and old are orderly, and it is good for the Pei family. ”
He was reminding Pei You of what he had done.
Because of this, Pei Tong was embarrassed to leave like this.
He looked at his two uncles, pondered for a moment, but still couldn't hold back, said sorry to the two uncles, pulled Master Yang out of the door, and said in a low voice: "If I leave the Pei family, can you give me the letter that my father wrote to you?" ”
Master Yang immediately became vigilant and said nervously, "What are you going to do?" Are you afraid that the Pei family will break their promise? ”
"It's not!" Pei Tong said a little embarrassedly, "It's me who blames the third uncle." But I also don't want to forget Daddy's death. I think that since I am leaving, I should leave cleanly and no longer participate in the affairs of the Pei family. My father's letter to you is a gift from me. From now on, I don't owe the Pei family, and they don't owe me either. When you meet again, just nod your head. ”
What a stupidity!
Master Yang endured it, so he didn't say this.
However, young people, who have never experienced anything, will always think that everything in this world is so simple, and they will know that they will be terrible if they suffer in the future.
But let him hand over the letter to the people of the Pei family, that is absolutely impossible.
This is one of his means of self-preservation.
He and Pei Tong played Tai Chi: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, wait until the family property is clear." ”
Pei Tong didn't want to lose face anymore.
He first misunderstood Pei Yan, and later took advantage of Pei Xuan.
He also wants to be an upright man, not to let people say how much he has taken advantage of the Pei family.
Pei Tong grabbed Master Yang and said, "Uncle, you still give it to me!" While my uncle was there, we made it clear. I don't want to leave the Pei family with a favor. ”
Master Yang frowned almost invisibly, and was unwilling to hand over the letter: "You kid, why are you so awkward." The stakes are so high, how can you just send it out like that? Don't worry, I didn't keep that letter to let the Pei family raid the family and exterminate the clan, so what's good for us? You just believe that the eldest uncle is fine, and I will hand it over to the Pei family at an appropriate opportunity. ”
Is it after getting the greater good?
Pei Tong looked at the familiar face of his uncle in front of him, but for the first time he felt a biting chill.
Their family and the Pei family are like this, isn't the Yang family the key point of the contradiction?
Doesn't the eldest uncle have a little responsibility?
Perhaps, there is no reliable person in this world.
Even if it is his second uncle, he has to take care of the third uncle and will not help him wholeheartedly.
Pei Tong was very disappointed, he glanced at Master Yang lightly, and said, "Then it will be as you wish." ”
Even if they leave the Pei family, they will not take the Yang family as the leader.
If he wants to leave, he is ready to leave completely, and he will no longer have dealings with these families in Jiangnan.
In the future, they will be a small family in the capital.
Pei Tong seemed to see the dim lights lit in the courtyard where he grew up in the dark.
So be it!
He took advantage of the family, so he owed it to his two uncles, and he would pay it back when he had the ability!
Pei Tong straightened his back, walked in, looked at Pei Yan and Pei Xuan for the first time, and took the initiative to say to his two uncles: "Second uncle, third uncle, let you wait for a long time." I'm sure you won't lie to me. I won't look at the accounts, and as you said, I'll move to the yard where my father used to live. But I can repair my family tree, settle in the capital, and pick up my mother and younger brother, I'm afraid I have to have two uncles to help me take care of it. ”
After he finished speaking, he respectfully saluted Pei Yan and Pei Xuan, as if they were two people who were frantically clamoring to settle accounts with Pei Yan just now.
Pei Yan and Pei Xuan couldn't help but glance at each other.
Pei Tong had already turned around to talk to Gu Chang: "Uncle, please come here for my business." My eldest uncle is right, I leave the Pei family, it is better for the Pei family. Let's divide the sect like this! ”
The matter has come to this point, what is the use of Gu Chang opposing again.
But in his heart, he buried dissatisfaction with the Yang family.
Two days later, Pei Tong set a date to move, and Gu Chang took the time to come again.
The things to be taken away from home have been packed and put away, and they are only waiting for the auspicious time to move to the house that Pei You bought back then. Gu Xi also changed his previous laziness, stood in front of the steps of the main house with high spirits, and personally directed the servants of the family to dig a few peony flowers in the yard.
Gu Chang couldn't help but say, "How did you dig up the flowers and trees in the yard?" Do the people of the Pei family know? ”
"Yes!" Gu Xi invited Gu Chang to sit in the house, and said, "Second uncle and aunt said, I can bring it over if I see anything I like." These are two relatively rare chrysanthemums. Money may not be able to buy it. Pei Yaoguang doesn't like flowers and plants, so he doesn't plant much in his house, so it's better for me to bring it over! ”
It's all trifles.
Gu Chang didn't say much to her, but asked about the property separation: "Has the money arrived?" ”
Gu Xi nodded, looking very satisfied: "The next morning, the two uncles called Pei Tong over, and in addition to giving him the money, they also gave him a copy of the accounts. Those real estate were left to the Pei family, saying that we would live in the capital for a long time in the future, and it was inconvenient to manage, so we changed to a grange in Miyun nearby, more than 500 acres, and we all felt very good. Just wait for the mother-in-law to bring her brother-in-law to the capital. ”
That's fine!
Gu Chang bowed.
Gu Xi personally brought him snacks and fruits, sat beside him, and said, "Pei Tong went to the old mansion to clean up, and he will come back in the evening." Brother has dinner here and then leaves! I always feel that the Yang family has bad intentions, and there are some things that you have to tell him. ”
Gu Chang came over, and he also had this meaning, so he naturally said yes.
The two siblings rarely took a break for a long time and talked considerately.
On Yu Tang's side, Ah Xing was quietly telling Gu Xi: "Didn't you say that it was a girl from the fourth family in Jiangnan?" Why are our peonies still rare? Can't you go to the flower farmer to buy it, you have to dig it up and take it away. Are you too used to her? ”
Yu Tang smiled: "This is not what I promised, it was the second wife who agreed." Why do I have to take care of Mrs. Di'n, don't I? ”
Ah Xing pursed her lips and didn't say anything in front of Yu Tang.
Yu Tang asked her: "Have you packed up all the things for my mother's family?" “
Ah Xing nodded again and again.
Yu Yuan was about to return to Lin'an, Yu Tang asked him to help bring some things back, and A-Xing's was prepared by A-Xing's mother-in-law's family, and Qingyuan's was prepared by Qingyuan's mother-in-law's family.
A Xing said: "I heard from the porter that the third master instructed them to prepare the car." When the time comes, I will send my uncle and young master to Tongzhou to board the ship! ”
Compared with her previous life, Ah Xing is more lively, and she likes to run around and ask about this and that. Yu Tang therefore knew a lot about the servants in the house.
Hearing her say this, Yu Tang couldn't help but be moved, when Pei Yan came back in the evening, she served Pei Yan diligently to change clothes, not to mention, but also took the initiative to lean on his shoulder and rub it, and asked him in a coquettish voice: "I want to go to Tongzhou with you!" ”
Pei Yan didn't hide his whereabouts at all, he laughed when he heard this, pinched her chin, and teased her: "You bought too many things, and the car can't fit it." You can't take people with you. ”
"Nonsense!" Yu Tang was dissatisfied, jumped away from Pei Yan's side, and said, "I asked Pei Wu, and he said that he had a car for you." She said with her eyes rolling straight away, "If it's really not enough to sit, then let's go to the Yin Mansion to borrow a carriage, right?" Anyway, Mrs. Yin can't do anything these days, and Lord Yin must be at home with her. They must have had a lot of wagons in their house. ”
Pei Yan said with a smile: "It is more difficult to repay personal debts. I've just gone out for 150,000 taels of silver in the past two days, and we'll have to use it tightly. ”
Yu Tang immediately took out his private money and smiled proudly: "When I came, my father gave me 1,000 taels of silver, and my mother-in-law gave me 3,000 taels of silver. ”
The little appearance of wealth and wealth, revealing a little cunning in his naughtiness, made Pei Yan feel warm.
