On Yu Tang's side, the two went to see their son, but Gu Xi's side was because of the small house in Tongzhou, her son and nurse were arranged in the same room with her, and Pei Tong and Pei Hong slept in the same room.

After Gu Xi coaxed his son to sleep, he went to Pei Tong's place.

Pei Hong went to talk to Shen Fang and them.

Even so, Gu Xi didn't have a good time entering the house, so he stood outside the house and talked to Pei Tong: "Second uncle said that he was going to give you a lecture, but have you set a time?" ”

Pei Tong said: "How can it be so fast? Let's see if anyone else has time! ”

Gu Xi frowned when he heard this, and told him repeatedly: "We don't live in Pei Mansion, you have to inquire about the news over there." Do you want to invite Shen Fang to sit at home? ”

With the relationship between the Shen family and the Pei family, if Pei Xuan talked about the hobbies and habits of the examiners, he would definitely not miss Shen Fang.

Pei Tong made up his mind to invite Zhang Hui and the others to sit at home, but he didn't know if Zhang Hui would agree, so he responded vaguely, and asked Brother Yuan instead: "I saw his eyes red just now, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Xi frowned when he heard this, and said, "It's nothing." He wanted to go and play with Brother Jiang'er, but Brother Jiang wanted to take Brother Qian'er, but he didn't want to take him to play, so he cried and coaxed him for a long time to get better. ”

Pei Tong disagreed, and said with a smile: "This kid is also too temperamental." When I was a child, I only liked to play with Ah Fei. When he becomes an older brother, it will be fine. ”

Gu Xi's heart skipped a slight beat when he listened, and the next specious accusations were not easy to say.

When they returned to the capital, after having lunch in Pei's mansion, Mrs. Pei and the second wife did not leave them at home for dinner, they wanted to help Pei Xuan and the second wife settle Pei Yan and others, but they were also rejected by Pei Xuan on the grounds that "everyone is very tired, the wind and snow are too big, you should go back early and have a good rest".

It's just that when she returned home and learned why they hadn't returned overnight, the eldest lady couldn't help but lose her temper again.

Pei Tong still hung his head, and didn't say a word about what his mother said. Pei Fei, who had lived outside for a few days, seemed to have suddenly changed his sex, and said in a weird manner beside him: "You don't go to greet your grandmother, we are the younger generations who are sons, and there is nothing to say." But you can't just because your brother has done your filial piety instead of you, and you will be scolded when you come back. Does anyone have an elder who does this? This can't be the Yang family's style, right? ”

"You wicked thing!" The eldest lady grabbed the teacup in her hand and smashed it towards Pei Fei.

Pei Fei jumped up and dodged, glaring at the eldest lady and about to speak, but was quickly pulled aside by Pei Tong's eyes, and said in a low voice, "You don't have to say a word." ”

Pei Fei glanced at Pei Tong, snorted coldly, and slammed the door.

The eldest lady was so angry that she scolded.

Pei Tong's forehead was bruised.

Gu Xi couldn't wait for their mother and son to quarrel, but she still stepped forward to stop Pei Tong in a pretended manner: "You go out first, mother-in-law is here, there is me!" ”

Pei Tong thought that Pei Fei was also a violent temper now, and he was afraid that he would run out and cause trouble, so he simply lost this place to Gu Xi and went to chase Pei Fei.

Pei Fei wandered outside for a few days, knowing that the days outside were not easy, so he didn't run out so stupidly.

When Pei Tong chased him out, he was sitting in the warm pavilion eating snacks. Pei Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but criticize him: "My mother is an elder after all, how can you talk to my mother like this?" ”

Pei Fei sneered and said, "I'm not as stupid as you!" ”

Pei Tong didn't know what to say for a while.

Pei Fei continued: "Do you know what the Yang family did with my five thousand taels of silver? ”

Certainly not a good thing?

Pei Tong also wanted to know.

He subconsciously said, "What did you do?" ”

Pei Fei said disdainfully: "Do you remember that the fourth cousin of the third uncle's family came out of the cabinet and pressed five thousand taels of silver?" That's the five thousand taels of silver that our family took from the past? ”

Their cousin is the one who married into the Dali Division.

Pei Tong didn't believe it. Although the Yang family is snobbish, it is not the faceless and skinless family. He said, "Who are you listening to?" ”

"Fifth cousin." Pei Fei didn't plan to hide it from Pei Tong, not only that, but he also counted on Pei Tong to return to the bridge and return to the bridge with Yangjiaqiao after he knew, so he said it in detail, "I met my fifth cousin in the teahouse on the other side of East Street a few days ago, and he told me personally. He also said that his grandfather originally wanted to marry his fourth cousin to our family, but at that time, his third uncle was sick in Lingnan and had to ask for a doctor. ”

The fifth cousin of the Yang family is the concubine of the third uncle, and after the third uncle was exiled, he had no one to care about, and quietly mixed up with a few idle gangs in the capital.

Although he was despised by Pei Tong, he was not a man of his mouth.

Pei Tong had guessed it before, but he didn't want the relationship between his younger brother and the Yang family to be more stiff and make his mother embarrassed. Now that he has said this, it is not easy for him to persuade his younger brother to calm down. After all, the five thousand taels of silver belonged to Pei Fei.

"You just have to know what to do. For the rest, it's up to you. Pei Tong took pity on his younger brother when he left, and touched Pei Fei's head lovingly.

It may be that such a warm moment has been rare over the years, Pei Fei said excitedly: "Brother, I don't want to study anymore." The fifth cousin said that there should be someone in the family to study. There is no one in our family anymore, even if it is studying, like me, it will be after the age of forty to be able to be named on the gold list, so what is the meaning of life? I want to do business with my friends, and then you study well at home. Just like the second uncle and the third uncle, what do you think? ”

Pei Tong naturally disagreed, but Pei Fei was already determined, and the two brothers broke up unhappily.

But the next day, after Pei Fei cleaned up and dressed up, he hugged his nephew and went to Pei's Mansion with his brother and sister-in-law and mother.

The old lady didn't want to see the eldest daughter-in-law at all, but she had to give face to the two grandsons, so she said a few words to the eldest lady lukewarmly, and then pushed her to the second wife, saying that she was tired, and asked Yu Tang to help her back to the inner room.

Brother Jiang was practicing big characters in the old lady's house, and Brother Qian and her brother were lying on a large bookcase, holding a pen and drawing cats beside them.

The old lady's Persian cat obediently lay on the embroidery pier and everyone looked at it.

Seeing that his mother helped his grandmother back, Brother Jiang was about to put down his pen and call someone, but he was waved by Mr. Pei and said, "You write your words, don't worry about grandmother, grandmother and your mother talk." ”

Brother Jiang promised and continued to bow his head and write.

Brother Qian'er's eyes were beady, and he threw down the pen and threw himself into Yu Tang's arms, and softly shouted "Mom".

Yu Tang hugged his son, nodded the tip of his son's nose affectionately, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Brother Qian glanced at the old lady.

The old lady smiled and immediately said, "Don't look at me, you don't see that I won't help you." Your brother lets you everywhere, I can't help you bully your brother. As he spoke, he pointed to the cat squatting on the embroidery pier, "Take your cat away, your brother has to do his homework." ”

Brother Jiang half followed Pei Yan, his nose was not good, in addition to not smelling too strong fragrance, he was also afraid of cat hair and dog hair, so he never raised small things at home. But Brother Qian really likes it. That year, when I went to Ku'an Temple, I saw that Miss Pei Er had a cat, and she couldn't walk.

Miss Pei Er likes Brother Qian very much, and said that if her cat gives birth to a kitten, she will give one to Brother Qian.

Brother Qian was still young at the time, and she didn't know that Brother and Daddy had bad noses, so she had been looking forward to Miss Pei Er's cat giving birth to kittens. When Miss Pei Er really sent the cat over, Yu Tang wanted to give it to the eldest lady of the Zhang family, but she was left by Brother Jiang, and pleaded with Yu Tang: "Let Brother raise it!" I'll just stay away from the cats! He genuinely likes it. ”

Yu Tang disagreed, Brother Qian cried loudly, and finally Pei Yan came forward and sent the cat to Mrs. Pei to raise, when Brother Jiang passed, he sent the cat to Mrs. Chen, so Brother Qian often stayed here for half a day in Mrs. Pei, plus Mrs. Pei found that Brother Jiang was still like her and Yu Tang, very good at settling accounts, and intended to teach Brother Jiang arithmetic, the result became that Mrs. Pei taught Brother Jiang arithmetic in the house, and Brother Qian played with the cat outside the house.

Mrs. Pei was happy in her heart, but when she met Pei Yan, she wanted to praise him: "I didn't teach you three brothers like this when they were young, if your son can't be admitted to the top prize, I'm really sorry for my hard work." ”

Pei Yan despised this statement, pursed the corners of his lips and said, "My son is not a fool, why do you want to be in the limelight?" You can teach if you want to, and don't teach if you don't. Whose champion still fails to take the arithmetic test? ”

Mrs. Pei was so angry that she didn't talk to her son for several days, and complained to Yu Tang in private: "How can you stand him?" It's better for him not to speak, and as soon as he speaks, he can kill people! ”

Yu Tang felt that maybe he was a father, Pei Yan's temper had become more and more gentle in the past few years, even if Brother Qian put the soup on him, he could continue to eat without changing his face.

Of course, these are interesting things in their lives, Brother Qian looks docile and shy, but in fact he is full of ideas, compared to Brother Jiang'er who looks at people, Brother Qian is easier to fool, when his eyes are beady, that is to be careful again.

Sure enough, hearing Yu Tang's question, Brother Qian pursed her lips and smiled, leaned into her mother's ear and said, "I want to see the second sister!" ”

Second Miss?!

Yu Tang was surprised.

Old Madam Pei laughed, pointed at Brother Qian'er and said, "This little clever ghost! Nothing escapes his ears. Ji mentioned it to me, and he remembered it. She said, looking back at Yu Tang, "You don't have to be surprised, that day the second aunt and grandmother came to say goodbye to me, I told her that I would come to the capital at the end of the year, she said, she is also ready to come to the capital, to see the illness on her body, if she really can't do it, take advantage of her youth, and take advantage of the early birth of a child." She might have arrived earlier than us. Brother Qian must have heard it in his ears, thinking that his second sister was also in the capital! ”

Strange to say, the relationship between Yu Tang and the second miss has always been salty, but the second miss fell in love with Brother Qian, and the two of them raised cats together, not to mention, she went back to the house to greet the elders, and she must go to see Brother Qian, what is delicious and fun, and people will also send a copy to Brother Jiang and Brother Qian.

Of course, Brother Jiang is stained with Brother Qian'er's light.

Yu Tang listened and groaned: "Do you want someone to go to the Yang family to inquire?" ”

Let's see if Miss Pei Er has arrived.
