Now that Pei Yi knew that Pei Yan was about to marry Miss Yu's family, the rest of the Pei family also knew about it.
Out of trust in Pei Lao'an, although everyone was a little surprised that Pei Yan's marriage was settled so quickly, they were not too surprised. When Mrs. Yi and Yi Lao'an talked about it, Yi Lao'an He also teased Mr. Pei with a smile: "She just likes beautiful girls and boys. Look at the two daughter-in-laws she married, which one is not the best in appearance?"
The old man Yi chuckled, instead of discussing the clan house with his wife, he went to the study and started to practice calligraphy, making sure that Pei Yan's wedding post was a good match for everyone.
Yi Lao'an shook his head with a smile, and went to Wang Lao'an to discuss Pei Yan's marriage.
However, it was the second day that Mrs. Pei heard the news.
She sat alone for a long time in a daze, feeling a little uncomfortable.
In the past, everyone thought she was too high-ranking, but she was neither right nor left. But Pei You always stood by her side, being gentle and considerate to her, which made her very proud. Unexpectedly, now that she is a widow and hides herself from the world, Pei Yan is more out of the ordinary than Pei You, marrying a woman who is inferior to her no matter her background or family background.
It's really green out of blue and better than blue!
Mrs. Pei sneered.
In the future, when people talk about the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, I am afraid that this Yu family will be the first one mentioned.
To be able to break through so many levels and marry into the Pei family, and even become the clan wife of the Pei family, I don't know how many women are envious, admired and jealous in their hearts!
She called her caring nanny, and said, "When will the second wife leave for the capital, have you found out clearly?"
The nanny lowered her head and whispered: "The second wife will leave after attending the wedding of the third master, but the second master will leave early tomorrow morning."
This is to promote the second wife and make her a blessing!
The eldest wife sneered again, and said: "The friendship between the second room and the third room is good."
Mammy didn't dare to speak.
The eldest lady said again: "Let the two young masters come to my place."
As if she had received an amnesty, the nanny hurriedly invited Pei Tong and Pei Fei in.
The eldest wife told her two sons: "Your second uncle is about to leave for Beijing, and he will definitely talk to you before he leaves. You two must listen to your second uncle."
The two agreed, but they waited for a whole day, but they didn't wait until Pei Xuan came to call them. It wasn't until early the next morning, when Pei Xuan was about to leave, that they patted Pei Tong and Pei Fei who had come to see him off. Sighing, let them honor the eldest wife well, listen to Pei Yan's words, and look forward to hearing the news about Pei Tongzhongju as soon as possible.
Pei Tong was fine, but Pei Fei gritted her teeth with hatred, thinking that Pei Xuan must have been influenced by Pei Yan to bully their eldest family, lost their status as clan family and lost their father, reluctantly bowed their heads under his elder brother's fierce gaze , and gave Pei Xuan a salute.
Pei Xuan felt a little sorry for his younger brother, and said: "I should have stayed until you became a relative before leaving, but my mentor was in a hurry to recruit..."
Pei Yan waved his hand, interrupted his elder brother, and said: "Brother, don't worry about me. Didn't the second sister-in-law stay? You just go about your own business. Don't give up on what you should fight for. You are the only one in the clan house." One is in the official career, and I don't know how long it will be until the next generation can take charge of it alone!"
Pei Xuan understood what brother meant.
Although someone in the Pei family is an official, if the clan house is not as good as the side branches, the clan house will inevitably lose its majesty, so how can it command other heads
This is a very dangerous thing.
Pei Xuan smiled and didn't speak, but shook brother's hand tightly, then turned around and touched his son's head, told his daughter to be filial to his mother, nodded slightly to the second wife, and boarded the boat .
The Pei family stood on the pier and watched Pei Xuan's boat drift away.
Pei Xuan's son Pei Hong sobbed softly.
The second wife hugged her son and smiled with tears in her eyes: "Silly boy, we will see your father in a few months, why are you crying?"
Mr. Pei Lao'an has already told her tactfully that after Pei Xuan recovers, let them follow Pei Xuan to take office as before.
For this, the second wife is grateful to her mother-in-law in her heart, and she will never forget it in her life.
Miss Wu grew up with the second wife, who also taught her how to read and write. She is not as dependent on her father as her younger brother emotionally. She is even more curious about how Yu Tang became her third aunt.
She rolled her eyes, looked at Pei Yan, then at Pei Tong, and finally decided to gossip with the second and third misses Pei about it.
When the Second Miss Pei and the Third Miss found out about this, their jaws almost dropped in shock. The third lady realized later: "No wonder my uncle and grandma don't want to let Sister Yu play with us. It turns out that Sister Yu fell in love with her to be the third uncle's daughter-in-law."
The foot-high account books are full of big books, which is still fresh in her memory when she thinks about it now.
The second lady was worried about the change of each other's identities, and she felt very awkward when she thought about calling Yu Tang "auntie" in the future. Not only that, but she was also awkward for Gu Xi, saying: "We're fine, we're going to get married one after another, what's wrong with Sister Gu, she'll be suppressed by Miss Yu for the rest of her life, Sister Gu is older than Miss Yu .”
When I said this, it happened that the fourth lady also got a letter and came to gossip with their cousins. Hearing the words, she immediately answered: "Seniority has nothing to do with age? There are many examples of elders born in a single house. However, how could Sister Yu I won the favor of my aunt and grandma, why didn't I see it at all before?"
The three sisters murmured together for a long time, and waited for Fifth Miss.
Fifth Miss guessed: "Could it be because of the matter of Ku'an Temple? I remember that my grandmother was very appreciative at that time, and even asked the shopkeeper Xiao Tong to help us with this matter!"
"When did that happen?" Miss San was stunned, "It's not that my aunt had an idea in her heart at that time, right?"
"Grandmother is not an ordinary woman," Miss Fourth said, "If Grandmother had such thoughts at that time, we would definitely not be able to see it!"
A few people chattered like a house full of sparrows.
Gu Xi soon found out.
She didn't get the news from Pei's family, but from her wet nurse——Yu's family profligately bought dowry for Yu Tang in Hangzhou City.
"It is said that she wants to marry into the Pei family, the third master of the Pei family." Her wet nurse said anxiously, "Everyone is talking about it in private. Miss, would you send someone to the Pei family to ask?"
If Miss Yu really became Gu Xi's aunt, Gu Xi would have to behave like a junior when she met Miss Yu in the future, thinking about it would make Gu Xi's wet nurse feel reconciled.
Gu Xi was horrified, and it took him a while to recover. While sending someone to Pei's house to ask questions, he comforted his nurse, "Everything is said in the market. It hasn't been confirmed yet. You should panic first. Wait for Pei's house." Let’s talk when the news comes.”
The wet nurse was worried, but it was hard to talk about it again. Speaking of Yu Tang's dowry: "I bought more than a hundred bolts of cloth for the clothes of the four seasons alone, plus shoes and socks, bedding, and curtains, and sold several silk and satin shops in Hangzhou City. It’s almost empty. However, the people who came out to buy dowry from their family are quite shrewd. They only order cloth newly woven this year, and those silk and satin shops couldn’t sell to their family the designs and colors of previous years. In the city of Hangzhou People are saying that next year's spring shirt fabrics may increase in price."
Winter is the time to make spring shirts.
Gu Xi didn't believe it.
The nurse said: "I didn't believe it before, but I heard people say that the Yu family was very low-key before, and they didn't say anything when they invested in maritime trade. If Miss Yu was not going to marry Mr. Pei San this time, she wouldn't give it to Yu with such a big fanfare. The lady has set up a dowry."
Gu Xi calmly said: "Even so, the Yu family's maritime business should have been in the past few years, and it is impossible to buy a dowry for my daughter like this!"
When he was in Pei's other courtyard, Yu Tang was clearly quite shabby.
The nurse said: "I also said the same. But people said, this time the Yu family took out all the family property. After all, it is only this time to marry a girl, and no matter how much money you have in the future, it has nothing to do with Miss Yu."
Gu Xi was a little distracted.
Because of her dowry, her brother no longer talks to her father. In order to punish her brother, her father called her brother to question and scold her every day in the name of "filial piety". Fortunately, she Seeing that the situation was not right, she quietly moved her uncle to be a rescuer. In this way, her stepmother spent three days and two days making face for the eldest house and giving her a dowry, pointing and cursing at home strangely.
Thinking about it this way, although Yu Tang is not as good as her birth, she is happier than her.
Gu Xi's eyes were slightly moist.
Gu Chang knew the news of the marriage between the Pei family and the Yu family, but smiled bitterly.
Pei Yan, as bold as he expected, married Miss Yu as his wife.
Only a proud man like him would do such a thing, right
Yu Tang's delicate and beautiful face appeared in Gu Chang's mind.
He immediately suppressed this face in his heart.
He hated people like his father the most in his life. He was about to get married, so he should treat his bride wholeheartedly. If he had two hearts, what difference would he have from his father
The brothers and sisters of the Gu family have their own thoughts, but the Lin family who lives in Hangzhou City is furious.
Since Li Yi was imprisoned, nothing went well at home.
It's just that they rented a house in the city's Jinglu Lane for a temporary stay, and I don't know who passed on the details of their family. The woman who burned the fire who had just worked at his house for a few days was unwilling to work for their house. When she resigned, Li Duan wanted to add some money, but she couldn't swallow the breath, so she resigned directly. As a result, the people who came back to work were not as good as one, and this one even stole their rice back. She caught them and returned them. deny.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she could hardly speak, but the woman was still talking back: "See, you are also a wife of an official, why are you so stingy. You just grabbed a handful of rice from your family, so why don't you refuse to forgive me?" Yes. Since you don’t want to part with it, please invite someone! Burn it on your own stove!”
Mrs. Lin wanted to tear her mouth off, so Li Duan came back, stopped Mrs. Lin, added ten Wen, and dismissed the woman who started the fire.
"It's really unlucky, drinking cold water will clog your teeth." Lin complained there, but Li Duan didn't speak.
He vaguely felt that someone was targeting their family.
He didn't want to guess that Pei Yan did it, but apart from Pei Yan, no one else has such ability and means.
Li Duan wondered if he should see Pei Yan.
Some things are better said.
He begged for mercy when he should beg for mercy, and apologized when he should apologize. He didn't believe that Pei Yan only had such a small heart.
