No matter what Yu Tang's mood was, time kept moving forward, and soon it was the day of the funeral of the old lady of the Pei family.

The ancestral tomb of the Pei family is on the waist of East Tianmu Mountain, leaning against the mountain and facing the river, and everyone says that it is a treasure land of feng shui, so the talents of the Pei family will be rich and noble for several generations.

The day before Mrs. Pei was buried, Yu Wen simply rested in Pei's mansion. Yu Tang and his mother prepared paper money and incense candles in the morning, got up before dawn the next day, freshened up, changed into plain clothes, took Mrs. Chen and Shuangtao, and rushed to Xiaomei Lane with Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter.

They were going to see off Mrs. Pei for the last time.

There were people along the way.

Everyone was in groups of three or five, discussing the funeral of Mrs. Pei.

"Even if it's hot, it's not so shabby! The spirit was stopped for only seven days, and the coffin was buried directly in the ancestral grave. Whose idea was this? ”

"I heard that it is the meaning of the third master." Someone in the know said in a low voice, "The eldest young master of the long house also had a dispute with the third master because of this incident. But he is a little child, where can he fight for his uncle! This is how it was settled! ”

"Didn't the second master of the Pei family say anything? He's an uncle, too! ”

"Now that the third master of the Pei family is in charge, what can he say?"

"That's just as well." Someone sighed, "When the old man went, the coffin also went around the city, so that everyone set up a road sacrifice." Now we can't send some paper money to the old lady, so we can only send the old lady up the mountain in such a humble way. ”

Some people are more concerned about their own vital interests, and whispered: "You said that the Pei family is now in charge of Master Pei San, is there any evidence?" ”

"Look at the past few days, has the chief manager come forward?" Someone gossiped, "In the past, the chief manager was the eldest master's accompaniment, which matter of Pei's Mansion was not decided by him?" And the second manager, do you see that he has shown up in the past few days? ”

"I know the chief manager, but what is the second general manager of this matter? Isn't the second chief manager the head of the horse all year round? “

"You don't know. Do you even understand how to sit? The second manager is standing on the side of the chief manager, and the chief manager is down, what else can he ask for? ”

"Hey! The Liu family's loss was huge, and their family had just married their daughter to the chief housekeeper. ”

"It's not that I'm married, it's that I'm carried in!" Speaking of the peach incident, everyone came to the show.

"Whether it is carried or married, it is true that Fan Liu claims to be in-laws with the chief manager outside......"

Yu Tang listened to these short and long flights, and thought of the gloomy face of Master Pei San.

Why make a handle for people to pinch?

Isn't it the glory after death?

It's not that the Pei family doesn't have money, just sprinkle the money and do it.

Or is it a tactic for him to fight with Nagafang?

Yu Tang guessed wildly, Pei's family arrived.

Mrs. Ma dragged them into a grocery store at the entrance of the alley and said, "This is a shop I know well, let's rest here, and it won't be too late for us to go out when Mrs. Pei is at his funeral!" ”

It's just that before she finished speaking, there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted "Falling into the pot".

The surging crowd rushed towards the gate of Pei's house.

Yu Tang heard someone say: "Why is it the tablet held by the third master of the Pei family?" What about the long house? Even if the eldest master dies, there is still a second master. Even if it's sorting, it's not his turn! ”

"Say no more!" Someone said, "Can't you see this?" The rumors are true. In the future, the third master of the Pei family will be the suzerain of the Pei family. ”

It's all about the eldest son and the eldest grandson!

Even if the eldest lord goes, the eldest lord still has two sons.

Although Master Pei San finally became the sect leader of the Pei family in his previous life, there have been slight changes in this life and his previous life. For example, in the previous life, the Pei family only knew how to buy a foundation to collect shops, and never thought of lending money to their neighbors.

When Yu Tang heard this, he became anxious for Master Pei San.

Where is this to make him the sect master, this is to roast him on the stove!

What kind of will did Mrs. Pei leave behind?

Even if you want Master Pei San to be the sect master, can't you wait for the funeral, and the brothers will sit down and discuss and settle down? Why did you slap Nagafang's face at the funeral? It looks like he wants to turn the long house into a side branch. Who can stand this?

Yu Tang tiptoed and looked in.

Master Pei San had been helped out by someone.

He kept his head down.

The rising summer sun fell obliquely on his filial hat, creating a shadow that blocked his face.

"Filial son kowtow." With the singing and shouting of the protocol, the filial sons and grandsons of the Pei family all knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

The people who came to worship Mrs. Pei began to set off firecrackers and plant incense.

The concierge shouted "Spirit".

The coffin was lifted and walked three steps.

The protocol shouted "filial son kowtow" again, the coffin stopped, and the filial son and grandson kowtowed again and again.

Mrs. Ma pulled Ma Xiuniang tightly and said to Chen: "Let's go over and burn the paper money, otherwise it won't be fun to be blown up when everyone sets off firecrackers." ”

It was the first time that Chen had brought his daughter to the road festival.

She nodded nervously and followed closely behind Mrs. Mar.

The sound of firecrackers rang out, and choking smoke wafted through the air.

As soon as Yu Tang and his mother stood still, they saw a tall and thin man rushing towards the Pei family's funeral procession, kneeling in front of the old lady's coffin, crying and shouting: "Old lady! You'll have to open your eyes and take a closer look, you've chosen a white-eyed wolf! He's going to squeeze the young masters of the long house to the point where they have no way to live......"

The crowd exploded.

"It's the Grand Steward!"

"It's the Grand Steward!"

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that Master Pei San has another secret when he is the sect master?"

Master Pei San raised his head and glanced at the chief manager.

Apathetic, tired, lifeless.

Yu Tang was taken aback.

Someone stepped forward and took the chief steward away.

He struggled as he mouthed something. It's a pity that the firecrackers were too loud and Yu Tang didn't hear them.

Someone howled loudly, "Old lady, hello to go", everyone was stunned, and then remembered the favor of Mrs. Pei to herself, and they all cried.

The funeral procession returned to its previous order and soon moved again.

The sound of firecrackers seems to be getting louder.

Yu Tang didn't feel like this voice was unintentional.

She searched for the mourners in the funeral crowd, but found nothing.

Yu Tang tiptoed to find his father's figure again.

The crowd was crowded, and it was full of people as far as the eye could see.

Father also doesn't know where to be busy?

Yu Tang sighed.

I broke up with Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter and returned home, it was past noon.

Yu Tang was sweating all over his body, and the small clothes inside were attached to his body.

She took a good bath, changed into a light Hangzhou silk jacket, had lunch, and slept until the sunset.

Yu Wen also came back, and chatted with the Chen family about the Pei family while eating in the hall: "The chief manager is also a loyal person, and for the sake of the eldest master, the lives of the whole family have been pressed." Hey, that's a pity. ”

Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he walked in quickly, "Daddy, what are you talking about?" ”

Chen was sitting next to her husband and helping her husband with a fan, and when he heard the words, he said, "At the children's house, adults listen to what they say." Don't worry about what you shouldn't. How did you embroider the handkerchief that you embroidered? Didn't you say that Xiuniang was going to come to the house as a guest in two days? Have you promised other people's ice and melons, have you done it? ”

Yu Tang smiled and went over to pinch Yu Wen's shoulder, and said, "Mom, didn't I come to beg Daddy?" I only have two taels of silver in my hand, and I have no pocket money to buy ice and melons! ”

"You're usually going to be big." Chen blamed, but still instructed Mrs. Chen, "Go to my house and wring a few taels of silver for Ah Tang." ”

"Mommy is the best!" Yu Tang rushed up to pinch Chen's shoulder.

Chen laughed, pulled his daughter's hand off his shoulder, and said, "Don't skin it again." Give your dad a shoulder pinch. Your father has been helping out at the Pei family for the past few days, and he has worked hard. ”

"Okay!" Yu Tang went to pinch Yu Wen's shoulder again, and said, "Daddy, am I okay with you?" ”

Yu Wen looked at his wife and daughter in front of him, his eyes turned into a smile, and said, "Good, good, good!" Our family Ah Tang is the best! ”

"That's good!" Yu Tang stretched out his hand to Yu Wen, "Then you can also fund me to get some silver!" lest I be disgraced in front of my friends. ”

"Yu Tang!" Chan was angry.

Yu Wen hurriedly comforted his wife: "Don't be angry, don't be angry." Imperial Physician Yang and Imperial Physician Wang both said, you can't be angry. Then he reprimanded Yu Tang, "If you dare to do this again, be careful that I will ground you again and punish you for writing a thousand big characters." ”

Yu Tang originally wanted to entertain his relatives in colorful clothes, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and he regretted it very much, so he hurriedly coaxed his mother.

Yu Wen shouted Chen's maiden name: "Xiuyan, look, Ah Tang's face is white with fright." Don't be angry! What's more, we only have one child, Ah Tang, and the family business will be hers in the future, and there is no difference between giving it to her now and giving it to her in the future. You say, don't you? ”

Chen sighed helplessly, and instructed Mrs. Chen: "Give her a small ingot of snowflake silver." After speaking, she glanced at her husband and said, "You are satisfied now!" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Yu Wen said with a smile and glanced at Yu Tang, "Look at your mother, how good you are treated." A few days ago, I took a fancy to a box of lake pens, and I asked for two taels of silver, and your mother was not willing to buy it for me, and you wanted it for ten taels of silver. ”

"Thank you, Mom!" Yu Tang smiled and thanked his mother.

Chen shook his head helplessly.

Yu Tang asked about his father Pei's family: "Daddy, what were you talking about the head of the Pei family just now?" How is he? ”

Yu Wen was afraid that the Chen family would hold on to these taels of silver, so he changed the topic along with his daughter and said, "I'm talking about him." When he returned, he hanged himself! Speaking of this, his expression darkened, and he continued, "When I came back, I heard that because of this incident, the third master detained the Changfang family in Tinglan Water Pavilion, and no one was allowed to see him. Haven't the sister-in-law and nephew of the eldest lady's mother's family left yet? There was a commotion on the spot. ”

It was only at this time that Chen heard about it, "Oops", and said, "Master Pei San, this is too, too ......."

She couldn't find a suitable word to describe what Master Pei San did.

Yu Wen also shook his head and said, "Everyone says the same thing." I saw that the Pei family was about to have a storm, so I used the excuse of worrying about your illness to come back early. Tang Xiucai and the others are still staying in Pei's Mansion. ”

Yu Tang thought of the conversation between Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Yang, frowned, felt that what his parents said was wrong, and said, "How can you blame the third master of the Pei family?" As the chief manager, everything should be done with Pei Fu first. Today is the day of the old lady's funeral, he actually hanged himself, what is he going to do? If I were the third master of the Pei family, what would I do to give him a funeral, and I would send people out directly. ”
