Chapter Seventy-Six: Division
"Save, keep!" Yu Wen touched his daughter's head with a smile and teased, "In order to reward your previous generosity, this ingot of fifty taels will be used as your own silver, and you can buy whatever you want!" ”
In order to marry Yu Yuan before, the Chen family took some fabrics and the like that he had accumulated before and gave them to the Wang family for Yu Yuan's dowry.
What a windfall!
Yu Tang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he hurriedly carried the ingot of silver in his arms, and then went to Chen's with Yu Wen.
There are some things that Yu Wen and Yu Tang deliberately concealed from the Chen family, and the Chen family naturally didn't know that the silver was obtained by the Yu family's father and daughter blackmailing the Lu family, and thought that Yu Wen had done a good deed and got the Lu family's thank you, and was naturally overjoyed to see the silver, but after knowing that Yu Wen gave Yu Tang fifty taels of silver, he still couldn't help but blame her husband: "She is young, what do you want to use, can we still detain her?" How can you give her so much silver in one go? ”
Yu Wen has always been generous, and at this time, he did not treat Yu Tang as a little girl who was raised in the boudoir and did not understand the world, and said busily: "She is not small, she has money in her hands, and she is not panicked." You just leave it alone. ”
Seeing that Yu Tang was tightly guarding the fifty taels of silver, Chen felt that he couldn't get it back even if he was careful, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything. So he no longer mentioned the matter of silver, and talked to Yu Tang about Ma Xiuniang: "She just presided over the ceremony of her mother-in-law's family, listening to Mrs. Ma's meaning, the people of her mother-in-law's family are very satisfied with her, and she also wants to take this opportunity to stand up and invite you to her house to play." When you go, remember to dress up well, don't lose the face of the showman. ”
Yu Tang responded again and again, preparing to go to Ma Xiu's mother's house.
Another big thing happened in Lin'an City.
The Li family's sect is going to be separated from Li Duan's branch!
The Li family sect also wanted to invite Pei Yan to be the middleman and preside over the division of the sect with the Tang Governor's Mansion.
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws were about to drop when they heard the news.
This kind of thing has not happened in Lin'an City for many years.
In Yu Wen's words: "When I was a child, your grandfather happened once. ”
Chen hurriedly asked, "What impact will that have?" ”
Yu Wen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the two families don't sacrifice together. But what I can't figure out is the Li family's sect. Li Duan's branch is thriving, how can they be willing to separate from Li Duan's branch. ”
Yu Tang was concerned about another matter, she said: "Daddy, did Master Pei San agree to be the middleman for the Li family?" ”
Yu Wen didn't know, and pondered: "I should agree!" The Li family is also a family with a head and a face in Lin'an City. ”
Yu Tang listened and took a sip of tea.
Pei Yan in his previous life was much more mysterious than at this time, and it was easy not to come forward to do anything. Now, less than a year after he took over the sect master of the Pei family, he has already come forward to preside over two disputes. I don't know if it's because he did enter the world a lot in this life? Or is it because she has had more contact with Pei Yan in this life and knows more about him?
When Master Wu came to gossip about this matter with Yu Wen, Yu Wen couldn't help but ask about it: "Will Master Pei San be a middleman at that time?" ”
"It is said that the third master is not in Lin'an City." Master Wu said in a low voice, "The Li family Zongfang and Li Duan went to invite them several times, but they said that they were not at home. Before, we thought that Master Pei San didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when we inquired two days ago, we found out that Master Pei San went to Hangzhou City and hasn't come back today! Listening to the county school's Shen Jiao, it seems that there is an imperial history to Hangzhou City, and the imperial history is the same year that Master Pei San was served, and the political envoy of Zhejiang invited Master Pei San to accompany the guests. ”
Yu Wen shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Master Pei San is still in the filial piety period!" ”
"But you can't just care about what you have gone and ignore what is still there." Master Wu disagreed, and said, "In addition to serving, the eldest master of the Pei family is no longer there, the two young masters of the long house are still young and have no fame, and the third master Pei goes home to inherit the ancestral business, so it is very important for the second master of the Pei family to recover." Even if the third master of the Pei family is not for himself, he has to plan for the Pei family! ”
Yu Tang recalled vigorously, it seemed that the second master of the Pei family had done quite a big job after his recovery, and she didn't remember what it was, but the Li family was more afraid of mentioning this.
Yu Wen said: "Then the Li family wants to wait for Master Pei San to come back before dividing the sect?" ”
Master Wu looked left and right, and saw that only Yu Tang was fiddling with refreshments in the house, so he didn't pay attention to it, and lowered his voice and said, "You don't know yet, right?" The Li family's sect had a big quarrel with Li Duan, and the specific content of the quarrel has not been reported, but most of it has nothing to do with your family's affairs. ”
Yu Wen was puzzled and said, "It has nothing to do with our family's affairs?" ”
"Hmm!" Old Man Wu bowed his head and said, "Think about it, before Li Duan's branch was not prominent, the Li family's sect also helped them a lot. When Li Duan's branch is developed, what good will the sect get except for the exemption from taxes? But Li Duan's expenditure dragged their sect house into the water. Isn't there still a talent on the Li family's side of the sect now? With this talent, you can always be exempt from taxes. Thinking about it this way, Li Duan's methods are so vicious, rather than being dragged down by Li Duan's branch at that time, it is better to take this opportunity to divide the sect, and break off the room with Li Duan, and everyone has their own way. ”
This is something that neither Yu Wen nor Yu Tang expected.
Their family and Li Duan's family had a quarrel, and they would quarrel with such a result.
Yu Wen still felt that it was too risky for the Li family clan to do this, and said: "But Li Xiucai is already not confused this year, in case ......"
In case he dies, the Li family will have to pay taxes again. That's not a small amount of money. It will affect the entire Li family. If you don't get it right, it will cause disgust among the Li family, and you will change the house.
Master Wu said slyly: "You still can't see this? There must be someone behind this who supports the Li family's sect! Otherwise, how dare the Li family clan have such courage! ”
Yuwen still didn't understand.
Master Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really a fool and a fool, just forget it if you can't see it." I'm here today for another matter, and I want you to help me get an idea. ”
Yu Wen is not the person who is entangled, so he can't figure it out, so he left this matter behind him and asked about Master Wu's intention.
Master Wu said: "There is a business I want to ask if you are interested - I have a nephew, doing business in Ningbo, there is a fleet of ships over there that is about to go to sea, he wants to get a batch of porcelain shares, I just renovated the oil mill at home a few days ago, and I don't have so much silver on hand, do you want to join me in a share?" ”
Yu Wen had never thought of doing business with his neighbors, let alone the maritime business that he didn't understand at all.
Master Wu also knew, and said, "You don't have to go back to me at this time." You discuss it with your family first. If you feel that it is risky and you have extra money at home, you can lend it to me, and I will give it to you at five cents. ”
Yu Wen really couldn't make up his mind for a while, and exchanged a few words with Master Wu, and Master Wu got up to say goodbye.
Yu Tang was thinking about it.
In her previous life, she finally sold the house for the funeral of her parents, and she was in the pavilion of her uncle's house. Although she is no longer a neighbor with Master Wu, she has heard something about Master Wu's family - the Wu family is not down, and Master Wu has not participated in the maritime business.
What is wrong with this life that has made things change so much?
Could it be the two hundred taels of silver that I got from the Lu family?
Without the experience of his previous life, Yu Tang could not judge whether this matter was feasible or not.
It frustrated her a bit.
When Yu Wen asked her opinion, she said, "Can you ask someone to inquire about what kind of fleet it is?" ”
If she had an impression, it would have been possible to know the good luck of this fleet.
As long as the fleet can come back safely, it can make a lot of money.
It was not easy to go to sea in her previous life, and she didn't necessarily know which ships came back safely, but if something happened, there would be some rumors.
Yu Wen has his own opinion, he said: "I don't like this kind of business. I don't want anyone else's, and no one else wants me. If Master Wu is really determined to do this business, our family will lend him silver. In case it can't be repaid, it will be if our family doesn't have the two hundred taels of silver from the Bai Delu family! ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
Her dad is such a character.
"It's better to call Brother Ah to discuss it." Yu Tang believed in Yu Yuan's judgment even more, "Brother has been helping my uncle with things in the shop these days, and he has heard more than us." ”
Yu Wen felt that it made sense and asked Yu Yuan to come over and speak.
Yu Yuan is against this matter.
"Since the last time I went to Hangzhou, I've been paying attention to the business in Hangzhou. I've heard people say that the business of going to sea is very deep, and if we really want to participate in shares, we have to inquire about all these things in advance. Interlacing is like a mountain, and we can't watch others make money. ”
Yu Tang agreed with Yu Yuan's opinion.
But out of the righteousness of his friends, Yu Wen still lent a hundred taels of silver to Master Wu.
Yu Tang couldn't help but look at the sky after he knew.
She felt that their family would never become rich.
Soon, the matter of the division of the Li family's sect and the Li Duan's family came to fruition.
The Li family's sect was a little impatient, and without waiting for Li Yi to write back to say whether he agreed or disagreed, he forcibly separated from the Li Duan family.
Everyone felt that the Li family clan was a little anxious, but the Li family clan said that the Li Duan's house violated the ancestral teachings, and they were unwilling to be controlled by the sect.
The Li family kidnapped Yu Tang because the marriage proposal failed, and the domestic servants also made an advocacy and instructed the homeless people to kill people, and the people in Lin'an City turned it out and talked about it.
Say anything.
But in general, I still feel that the Lin family is too vicious, and the Li family's family style is not good.
Li Duan was so anxious that the corners of his mouth bubbled.
Lin was furious at home: "Who are these people chewing on the root of their tongues?" Ah Duan, this matter can't be left like this! It turned out that we were taking care of the sect's side, but who knew that we gave in, and they still didn't appreciate it. It doesn't matter if you divide the sect, you two brothers study hard, but after a few years, maybe you can become the second Pei family. ”
How can it be so simple?
Li Duan was not good at complaining in front of his mother, and was about to smile and promise, when he heard a man say in a narrow tone: "What kind of tantrum is my aunt doing?" Thanks to my cousin's filial piety, everything goes along with you. If it were me, I would have talked back to my mother. ”
