Gu Xi knew that Pei Tong's temper was a little gentle, so the roots of his ears were also relatively soft.
She was afraid that a few words from Mr. Yang would change Pei Tong's mind.
Gu Xi was so anxious that she turned around, thought about it, and felt that this was not something she could handle, so she gritted her teeth and went to the second wife's place, and told her about Master Yang's coming to find Pei Tong.
The second wife also became nervous when she heard this, she left the correct account book and stood up, saying: "Let's go, let's go find your third aunt."
Gu Xi doesn't like dealing with Yu Tang very much, especially some bad things in her room. She avoided instinctively: "How about I don't want to go? The second aunt just go and tell the third uncle."
Anyway, this matter is not something that Gu Xi can solve.
The second wife shook her head and took the opportunity to point out Gu Xi: "Although the family members are not very particular, there are some things that cannot be dealt with casually. As for the matter you mentioned, I think that we women in the inner house must have no choice. No matter what, you have to ask your second or third uncle to come forward. If your second uncle is in the mansion, let me tell him how he arranges that is his business. But your second uncle is not in the mansion at this time, we It's best to go to your third aunt and ask your third aunt to tell your third uncle. It's extremely inappropriate for us to skip your third aunt and go directly to your third uncle. "
Gu Xi suddenly blushed.
The second wife almost pointed at her and said she didn't understand the rules.
This is a common etiquette, she is a girl from a family in the south of the Yangtze River, how could she not know? The second wife would say this, firstly because of what she said just now, and secondly probably because she was a girl who grew up under the hands of her stepmother, and she suspected that she didn't learn the rules.
At this moment, Gu Xi didn't know whether to be thankful that she grew up under the hands of her stepmother, or thankful that the second wife was kind-hearted and didn't think too much about it.
Otherwise, the second wife would definitely see her attitude towards Yu Tang.
Gu Xi sighed inwardly, and went to Yu Tang's place with the second wife.
Yu Tang was sitting at the stone table under the grape arbor talking to Yu Yuan.
Seeing the second wife and Gu Xi coming, Yu Yuan hurriedly got up and said hello to them, then got up and said goodbye.
The second wife said apologetically, "Did we bother you?"
But what she wanted to say was too important, even so, she could only feel wronged by Yu Yuan.
Yu Tang shook his head with a smile, and said, "No interruption. The matter is almost the same, and he is about to leave!"
The second wife didn't ask any further questions, and quickly told Yu Tang about Pei Tong, and said, "I have to tell my third uncle quickly, I always feel that the old man of the Yang family is not kind, and something will happen."
Yu Tang became anxious after hearing this, and said: "The third master was called over by Mrs. Zhang, so I sent someone to talk to him."
The second wife nodded repeatedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed with Yu Tang: "Tell me, do you want to send someone to talk to the second master?"
"Listen to what the third master wants!" Yu Tang was afraid that something would happen to Pei Tong, and he was also afraid of making a false alarm and making others laugh, "Isn't the second master still in the yamen?"
The second wife thought about it and didn't insist anymore, watching Yu Tang order others to find Pei Yan.
However, Gu Xi has not spoken since entering Yu Tang's door.
Yu Tang, who was sitting under the grape arbor, was wearing a bright silver-red tulle gown, buttons of jade butterfly flowers, and a white suet jade bracelet on his wrist. And her cousin is quite different from the one she met in Lin'an before. Wearing a navy blue silk gown, a black net scarf, a jade-colored purse embroidered with gold thread around her waist, and a string of seven gold things hanging in a dazzling array. In addition to her fair skin, it may be because life is getting better and better, Her expression was peaceful and gentle, she looked like a young master from a rich family who was studying, and she looked like a small businessman, which reminded her of the saying "juyi qi, raise the body".
Gu Xi couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
With the Pei family as the backer, it really is different, turned over.
She lowered her eyes, not wanting others to find out what she was thinking at this time, so as not to cause extra complications in Pei Tong's matter.
However, why did that Yu Yuan come to find Yu Tang? Although she was a little far away just now, she could clearly see the bright smile on Yu Yuan's face.
After Yu Tang explained the matter, she tugged at the sleeve of the second wife and said, "Should we go back and wait for the news? Just now the young master of the Yu family was here..."
After being reminded by her, the second wife showed a suddenly realized expression, and hurriedly said to Yu Tang: "What's the matter with Master Yu coming here? Don't be delayed because of us."
Gu Xi, never stop!
Yu Tang sighed in his heart, glanced at her with a smile, and then replied to the second wife's words: "It's really nothing! He has finished his affairs in the capital, and he will return to Lin'an in these two days. One is to come and talk to me. Let me tell you, secondly, I asked if I had anything to bring back to Lin'an. I thought he still had a few days to prepare, so I didn't go to tell you—do you have anything to bring back to Lin'an? I asked him to help We'll take it with us."
The second wife immediately beamed with joy, and said: "That's a good thing, this year's Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival we won't be able to do our filial piety at the knees of the old An. It would be great if Master Yu's uncle could help me bring something back." At this point , She remembered Yu Yuan's purpose of coming to the capital, and said, "Then the matter of the Chamber of Commerce is settled? Aren't your family going to be busy this year and next year?"
Yu Tang repeated his head with a smile, and said: "Not only! Not only the tribute matter has been agreed, but my brother also met several merchants in Guangdong and Fujian because of his visit to the capital this time, and agreed to give them a shop in the capital. Make gift boxes. My elder brother said that I will discuss with my uncle when I go back this time, to see if I can bring some apprentices to the capital to open a shop to make gift boxes for these people."
The second wife was stunned, and then boasted: "I think this is a good idea! The capital is very particular about human relations, and the requirements for gift boxes are high, and there are many. There are many people in Jiangnan who are officials in the capital. If your brother comes to open a Shop, not to mention anything else, just for the sake of fellow villagers, everyone is definitely willing to do business with him first, and the business should be able to do."
Yu Tang also felt the same way, so when Yu Yuan told her about it, she very much agreed.
The second wife began to help the Yu family make suggestions.
Which third-rank officials in the capital are from Jiangnan? Which ones have more social activities? Which ones have less communication and entertainment? What yamen are they in charge of, do they need gift boxes
She and Yu Tang talked with gusto, but Gu Xi only felt irritated listening to it.
Pei Tong has been out of the house for almost an hour. If Mr. Yang has any malicious intentions, the Pei family will be overpowered. I'm afraid it will be too late. The second wife and Yu Tang are not worried about Pei Tong's safety, but they are happily chatting here... Sure enough Biological brothers are biological brothers, uncles and nephews are uncles and nephews, it's the same no matter how you say it, but it's still impossible to level the bowl of water at critical times.
Seeing an opportunity, she interrupted the words of the second wife and Yu Tang, and said, "Is Shopkeeper Yu scheduled to return to Lin'an? Do you want to go back with me when I see it?"
Yu Tang was stunned.
The second wife was very sad, and told Yu Tang about Gu Xi's plan, and persuaded Gu Xi for a while, bringing the topic to Pei Tong again.
Yu Tang curled his lips.
Pei Yan is back.
His face was a little ugly, and he asked Gu Xi: "Are you sure that Ah Tong went out with his uncle?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Gu Xi muttered, "The servant girl at home watched them walk together. Did something happen?" After she finished speaking, her eyes were so frightened that her eyes were wet.
If something happened to Pei Tong, what would she do
Pei Yan nodded, and told Pei Wu who was following behind him: "Keep looking. Ask Mr. Chen to help you think about where he might go?"
Pei Wu nodded, and was about to make a promise, when a servant from Gu Xi's room ran over and said, "Eldest Young Mistress, Eldest Young Master is back."
Everyone is overjoyed.
Gu Xi even asked the boy: "When did the young master come back? Where is he? Are you injured?"
The young servant was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Young Mistress, the Eldest Young Master came back alone, and he is lying in the study room now. The Eldest Young Master is neatly dressed and doesn't look injured. However, his expression is a little dazed. He said hello, he didn't even look at it, and he didn't know what happened?"
Is it related to Mr. Yang's so-called "evidence"
Gu Xi looked anxiously at the second wife.
The second wife gritted her teeth and asked Pei Yan: "Shall we go and have a look?"
Definitely a must see. Not only that, but also ask him what Master Yang said to him.
Pei Yanyuan planned to take Chen Shu, his staff, there by himself, but when he looked at Yu Tang's curious eyes that were brighter than usual, he thought about it and decided that everyone should go together so that he would not come back Afterwards, Yu Tang chased after him and asked him what happened, and he still had to explain it miscellaneously.
"Then let's go there together!" Pei Yan said, taking the lead out of the hall.
The second wives immediately stood up when they heard this, cleaned up and followed Pei Yan to the place where Gu Xi and Pei Tong lived.
When he reached the gazebo at the corner by the stream, Pei Tong suddenly stumbled towards him.
Seeing that his face was livid, his eyes were straight, his steps were staggering, and his mind was a little dazed like he was drunk, Pei Yan called him "A Tong" sharply, and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? You're out of your mind!"
They are all people who have become relatives, and they are still acting so unstable.
He criticized in his heart, because Pei Tong married a wife, he would not scold him in front of everyone, so as not to embarrass him.
Who knew that Pei Tong didn't seem to understand what Pei Yan said at all. When he heard Pei Yan's reprimand, he looked over with a face ashamed, and then his footsteps stopped, and his face changed suddenly. Out of hatred, he rushed over angrily, and reached out to grab Pei Yan's collar: "It's you! Is it you? You killed my father! You framed him! You went against him! You betrayed him! It's you, It’s all you! If it weren’t for you, my father wouldn’t have died! If he wouldn’t have died, he wouldn’t have died with peace! He wouldn’t have made arrangements for his funeral! He wouldn’t have left our mother and son without a place to settle down! Pei Xiaguang, you deserve Do you want to be our uncle? Are you worthy to be the suzerain of the Pei family?" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, the louder his voice became, and finally he yelled loudly, "You pay for my father's life".
