Gu Xi's demeaning behavior and words not only aroused Pei Tong's stern gaze, but also aroused Pei Xuan's dissatisfaction.
If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world.
Pei Xuan felt that Pei Tong had the Yang family first and then Gu Xi, and there were too many people who could influence his decision, but didn't this just show that Pei Tong's ability was weak
He frowned slightly, and gently interrupted Gu Xi: "Mr. Gu, these matters should be decided by Ah Tong."
He almost pointed at her nose to tell her not to speak.
Gu Xi blushed and apologized falteringly.
Pei Xuan began to hesitate.
He knows his brother too well.
At the beginning, he was caught between the eldest brother and the younger brother and kept silent, which made many people misunderstand that he was dull and honest and had no opinion. He also didn't want to create conflicts between the elder brother and the younger brother and embarrass their parents. After a long time, he began to instinctively give way to his elder brother and younger brother.
He has seen clearly Pei Yan's attitude towards the matter of Pei Tong's sect division.
Pei Yan wanted to take this opportunity to assign Pei Tong's room.
It stands to reason that this is better, and avoids conflicts between the elders and the younger in the future; but because of love, Pei Xuan still feels a little uncomfortable letting the elder brother's flesh and blood leave the Pei family like this.
But he knew better that he had to make a choice and express his position. Otherwise, Pei Yan wouldn't let it go, and something would definitely happen. And Pei Tong is too disappointing, such a big matter is still controlled by his family and wife.
Pei Xuan sighed secretly, thinking that he could only find a way to compensate Pei Tong in the future.
He didn't pay too much attention to Gu Xi, but said to Pei Tong: "It's fine to divide the clan. Sister-in-law is making trouble at home every day, which makes your grandmother unhappy. After dividing the clan, you come to live in the capital, and your mother can often go back to her mother's house to see her." Look, you can also have fun at your mother's knees. But you can't listen to your mother's academic matters, you still have to study hard, learn from the master I recommend to you, and strive for an early title on the gold list, and win glory for your brother. It’s not in vain for you to stand on your own.”
The implication is that he will still take care of his studies and official career, but he doesn't want to take care of Mrs. Pei in a righteous way.
This has always been the attitude of the Pei family.
Pei Tong listened, and suddenly seemed to have found the backbone, and was no longer in a daze.
That's right, he wasn't expelled from the clan, but a branch clan, and he was also a branch clan approved by the suzerain.
Rather than staying in Pei's house in such an annoying way, they might as well separate and be polite to each other. His mother can also fulfill her long-cherished wish and become the head of the house with no one on her head.
This should be better!
Pei Tong glanced at his uncle.
Master Yang's brows were all wrinkled together, obviously very disapproving.
Pei Tong laughed at himself inwardly.
No matter how much his uncle kissed him, he couldn't get past the Yang family. The so-called support and ideas are probably more beneficial to the Yang family, right
Looking at Gu Xi again, it should be because they are afraid of losing the protection of the Pei Mansion, and their house will be worthless, right
Who can understand the resentment that he has lost his father but can only keep silent
It's okay to leave.
The second uncle has always been generous to him like a nephew, and his second uncle has extraordinary vision and insight, presumably the second uncle also saw his predicament in Pei's family, so he would speak out to persuade him.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle," Pei Tong made up his mind, and acted very decisively, "Then let's divide the clan! I believe that Second Uncle and Third Uncle are for my own good."
The third uncle may not be, but the second uncle must be sincere.
Thinking of this, he looked at Pei Xuan eagerly, and continued: "I'm afraid I will have to trouble my second uncle to give me more guidance on my homework."
Pei Xuan sighed in his heart.
Pei Tong was indeed still too young.
But maybe it's not because of his youth, but because he still resents Pei Yan in his heart.
Maybe leaving would be better for Pei Tong.
Pei Xuan shook his head lightly, and said sadly: "In this case, please invite Mr. Gu here! Division is a major matter, and he must be invited as a witness."
Mainly involving family property.
Just don't let people think it's unfair.
Pei Yan nodded, and finally felt happier, and looked at his second brother with a lot more kindness.
Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle. This is really true. At critical times, his second brother still defended him.
Grandpa Yang hesitated to speak.
He should have stood up to object, but Pei Tong looked as if nine bulls could not be pulled back, and he couldn't figure out the stakes between the division and non-distribution, and it was even more difficult to express his opinion.
Fortunately, Mrs. Pei will not be able to arrive in the capital for a while, so the division of the clan can be delayed.
Grandpa Yang didn't speak.
Although Gu Xi was anxious, it was hard to say anything.
After all, among the elders of the Pei family, Pei Xuan was the kindest to them. Pei Xuan had clearly expressed his support for Pei Yan's decision.
It's just a matter of living separately, not long after coming to the capital, Pei Tong took her to see the house left by her father-in-law in the capital.
The house is not far from here, with five rooms and four entrances, it is considered a rare big house in the capital, and they live in one room for five people, which is more than enough even if Pei Fei is married. The important thing is that her mother-in-law is the only one on her head, and it is much better than the Pei family with countless relatives and a large family.
As for Pei Tong's studies, the second master promised to help, and her elder brother would not stand idly by.
After Mrs. Pei knows how powerful her natal family is, she must have a better life.
There is also the deadliest case of assassinating the second prince. They are juniors. When the accident happened to the second prince, they were still little-known characters. No one could find out who they were. Now that the clan is divided, the responsibility lies with the clan of the Pei family, not them.
They also have something to say when his father-in-law did something wrong, but they cannot be held accountable.
Ten thousand steps back, her elder brother is also one of the people in charge of the branch sect, if the situation is not good for them, her elder brother will definitely not agree.
Gu Xi comforted herself, but she was still a little uneasy.
She was thinking about whether to say something, but Pei Yan's cold voice came from her ear: "When the clan was divided, the things left to you by brother are naturally yours. The property in the family of Pei must not be moved. The things left by your grandfather, because your grandmother is still there, have not been explained clearly. But if you want to leave the Pei family, you must make it clear. I will let people sort out the things left by your grandfather first, and then Divide according to each one-third. As for your grandmother after a hundred years, it will be divided according to this. What do you think?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced sternly at everyone in the room.
Grandpa Yang's hands trembled with excitement.
Will Mrs. Pei's private property be divided equally between the three brothers
He has a close relationship with Pei You, others don't know it, but he knows it very well in his heart. Mrs. Pei's private property is at least two hundred thousand taels of silver. Why bother to go to the muddy water of Pei's house when they can share nearly 70,000 taels of silver
Mr. Yang stared at Pei Tong eagerly, and he almost said bluntly, "Quickly ask how much money it is".
Gu Xi didn't feel anything, but seeing Mr. Yang's appearance, he knew that such a division would definitely not suffer.
But how much is not a disadvantage
She has no idea.
Pei Xuan could see more clearly what he was thinking about his younger brother.
Pei Yan almost had the words "buy peace with money" printed on his forehead.
He suddenly felt sorry for Pei Tong.
When his father was alive, he donated most of his property to the three brothers respectively. Because the elder brother was disobedient, father gave him the least, and later he asked the younger brother to clean up the mess and cut off his career. With his father's temperament, he would definitely subsidize the younger brother in private. It is estimated that those who can really get the bright points are only two hundred thousand taels of silver.
He thought for a while, glanced at the second wife, thinking that he would be an official in the future, and he was the most official in his family, and the public would definitely subsidize him with the highest standard. He coughed softly and said: "Brother I'm gone. It stands to reason that I, as an uncle, should take on the responsibility of my elder brother. But your mother has her own ideas, and it's not good for me to dictate. It's better to let your mother take care of your family affairs. Apart from schoolwork, I have nothing to help you. I don't want my share, let's share it with Ah Tong and his two brothers!"
"What?!" The second wife exclaimed.
She vaguely knew how much money Old Master Pei had left behind.
Mrs. Pei did give them a lot before, but who would think that the money is too little! Besides, she is going to marry her daughter soon, wouldn't it be nice if she could accompany her with more dowry
But Pei Xuan's words had already been spoken, and she couldn't object in front of everyone. But her complexion turned sour that there was no way to hide it.
Yu Tang was also very surprised.
She thought Pei Xuan was a nice person before, but what he did just now hurt the second wife too much.
She and the second wife were sitting opposite each other, and it was not easy to say anything on this occasion. After thinking about it, she got up and refilled the second wife with a cup of tea, and then patted the second wife on the shoulder comfortingly.
The second wife's complexion is not good.
Gu Xi's mind turned quickly.
The second wife is a person who has not experienced any setbacks, she is gentle and easy-going, she is even more generous in money, and never cares about these things. It must not be a small sum to change her complexion drastically.
Is it 20,000 taels or 30,000 taels, or more
Individuals in the aristocratic family are not allowed to have too much private property. In Gu Xi's opinion, no matter how capable Mrs. Pei is, it's about the same amount.
Thinking about it, she winked at Pei Tong, signaling him to pretend to evade.
Who knew that Pei Tong seemed to be stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but Mr. Yang, afraid that Pei Tong and Gu Xi were young and ignorant, pushed such a good thing out, and hurriedly told Pei Xuandao "Why is this so embarrassing? However, with your kindness, the servant of the household department really needs someone like you to hold him back." At this point, he deliberately glanced at Pei Tong and Gu Xi, and then made a look With a look of embarrassment, he continued, "The old man left at least two hundred thousand taels of private property, right? Your one-third is nearly seventy thousand taels of silver. I don't want it. Give them both..." He turned towards Pei Xuan gave a thumbs up and said, "It's their blessing to have an uncle like you." After finishing speaking, he looked towards Pei Yan.
It seems to be talking about Pei Yan, you see that your brother has given up the old man's inheritance, as an uncle, do you also learn from Pei Xuan
