One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver? !
Both Gu Xi and Pei Tong were immersed in this unexpected surprise.
Only Mr. Yang reacted the fastest, before Pei Yan could finish his sentence, his mind turned quickly, and when Pei Yan spoke, he immediately showed displeasure, and retorted: "You can't say that! The one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver was left by Mrs. Pei and inherited from his father. Thank you, Mrs. Pei! And his second uncle gave up his share... "
What an insatiable appetite! Insatiable!
Pei Yan felt more and more that he was doing the right thing. He said coldly to Mr. Yang: "My elder brother has always been close to you, so did he tell you that the two hundred thousand taels of silver he gave to the third prince was from Nagongzhong?"
Grandpa Yang, Pei Tong, and Gu Xi all looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what he meant.
Pei Yan's expression became even more stern, and he said: "You don't think that my father is the suzerain, so you can take two hundred thousand taels of silver from the public without going to the account?"
Elder Yang's three eyebrows twitched, and Elder Yang even said: "Xia Guang, what do you mean?"
Pei Yan said: "My elder brother went in a hurry, my father was very thoughtful, and some things hadn't been smoothed out in time. After I took over, I found out that the two hundred thousand taels of silver hadn't been accounted for yet. But it's been three years. Can’t you stay out of account?”
Grandpa Yang, Pei Tong, and Gu Xi all forced their smiles to rise, and they all looked towards Pei Xuan.
If Pei You's house was to be settled, they said that they had divided 150,000 taels, but it was not enough to pay all of them, and they had to take another 50,000 taels of silver to settle the accounts
If so, what's the point of this split
Did Pei Xuan give up his inheritance right because he knew it
Then what is the division? Analyze what product
Pei Xuan was lucky enough to be a third-rank official in the officialdom, and he had to be capable. Once Mr. Yang and the others looked over, he knew what it meant.
How could his father keep someone in his way when he was doing things
Even if he didn't know the money, he could be sure that his father had already settled the account. Otherwise, when Gu Chang and the others went to Jiangnan to check the accounts, they would not have missed it.
His younger brother said that and did this, just to get rid of his eldest brother's family, right
Why is it time to stand in line again!
Can't Pei Xiaguang be more peaceful
Although Pei Xuan was a little annoyed, he knew better in his heart that if he didn't take this opportunity to separate Pei Tong, there would be more troublesome things in the future.
He just felt sorry for Pei Tong, and didn't know how much money Pei Yanyan would give him.
And Pei Tong probably will be able to get money from his brother this time in his life.
But Pei Yan can do anything. Before being an official, he looked like an official, but now he is in charge of the general affairs of the family, and he looks like a big merchant.
Compared with the money Pei Yan can earn in the future, this little money is really like drizzle.
Pei Xuan sighed secretly, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't know there was still this account. But the Pei family does have such a rule, whoever embezzles the money from the public will have to make it up with interest. Two hundred thousand taels of silver , It’s not a small amount. Even if Dad wants to settle the debt, he still has to give him the opportunity and time!”
Indeed, Mrs. Pei left too hastily.
But asking their elders to plug this hole, Mr. Yang absolutely disagrees.
Pei Tong and Gu Xi were not very happy either.
Pei Yan saw that the bait had almost been cast, and he was about to collect the net, so he said, "I won't go around with you either, you take away the silver that my father left to the eldest brother. The second brother gave it to you, it was he and A Tong. I don’t care about my friendship, and I can’t control it. All I can say is, I’ll find a way to make up for the two hundred thousand taels of silver. Uncle's last respect to your father!"
He said the last sentence to Pei Tong.
Pei Tong's eyes were slightly moist as he listened.
How nice it would be if my father was still alive!
How could he be so passive
Pei Tong lowered his head and said nothing.
Only then did Master Yang understand why Pei Yan said that "our two uncles gave you a gift".
If it was true, the 150,000 taels of silver were really given to Pei Tong by Pei Yan and Pei Xuan.
Mr. Yang didn't think it was a fake. Firstly, old Mrs. Pei only has this private property at most, and secondly, two hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, and it takes time and energy to balance the accounts.
Then accept it when you see it!
Mr. Yang pondered in his heart, fearing that Pei Yan and Pei Xuan would have new ideas, he thought it would be safe to just settle down.
"The child is still young and cannot do without the support of the elders." He smiled, and without mentioning the two hundred thousand taels of silver, he directly thanked the two Pei brothers, "I won't say anything more. Then follow the two According to my uncle, Pei Tong took his mother, younger brother, wife and children to live separately. From now on, everyone will walk around as relatives and no longer worship ancestors together. As for the grave of Ah Tong and his father, as I said, it is better to move In the capital, it will be convenient for Ah Tong and the others to worship in the future."
Living in the capital is not easy.
It's not that you can stay as a high-ranking official.
There is no farm nearby for sale, and officials who have retired have no permanent property and no income.
Pei Tong couldn't help but hesitate.
Master Yang just looked at Pei Yan and said nothing.
Pei Yan didn't refuse either, and said very boldly: "Okay! I'll take a look in the next two days to see if I can get someone to give up some fields."
Elder Yang and Gu Xi both heaved a sigh of relief.
And so the matter was settled.
With a house and a farm, and finding a way to transfer their household registration, they can live in the capital. Stay away from the right and wrong of the Pei family and the Gu family. The most important thing is that she no longer needs to see Yu Tang all the time, call Yu Tang "Aunt", say hello to her, and greet her.
Gu Xi was relieved, and felt like a phoenix nirvana, being reborn.
A sincere smile formed on her lips.
Gu Chang frowned for the third time and asked the boy who was leading the way with a lantern: "You didn't go the wrong way again, did you?"
After dinner, the Pei brothers sat with him for a while, and Pei Yan also gave him an isolated copy of the former dynasty. He was overjoyed, but he did not forget the purpose of coming to Pei's mansion today. After turning a few pages, I can't go on. But I don't know what the Pei brothers have said to Pei Tong. He has not invited him to talk to him after two rounds of tea. He couldn't help being a little anxious, and wanted to ask when he got up. Who knew that just as he stepped out of the threshold, he ran into a young man who came to report the news, saying that he was ordered by Pei Yan to take him there to talk.
Without thinking too much, he took the book and followed the boy to the inner house.
It's just that this boy has been around this fake Taihu Lake rock mountain three times, and he hasn't brought him to the place where he can talk, which made him suspicious.
When the boy heard this, he trembled with fright, and almost dropped the lantern in his hand to the ground.
"I, I was just transferred to the inner courtyard as an errand." He stammered, "It's night again, and I don't know where I'm going?"
Really!
Gu Chang slandered in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously. He asked where the flower hall was speaking. He looked up at Xing Xiang, picked a direction and walked in front of the servant.
The boy didn't dare to speak, so he raised the lantern to show him the way.
After a while, the servant saw a lantern painted with paulownia paint hung on a tall ginkgo tree not far from the third master's residence.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his task was completed, his steps became lighter.
When Gu Chang entered the flower hall led by the servant, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw that Mr. Yang and the members of the Pei family were talking happily.
Didn't the Pei family ask him to testify? Could it be that Mr. Yang didn't act like a demon
With the confusion in his heart, Gu Chang met the ceremony with everyone present, but his gaze involuntarily stayed on Yu Tang for a few breaths.
Yushi is getting more and more beautiful.
Especially under lights.
The skin is better than snow, the eyes are bright, and the spirit is radiant, like the hosta under the moon, blooming in full bloom, full of vitality, making people feel brighter when they look at it.
Pei Yan looked at it, stood up calmly, blocked Yu Tang behind, called the servant girl to come in and serve tea, and dragged the chair calmly, blocking Yu Tang's seat.
Gu Chang's eyebrows moved slightly.
Is that what he meant
He was observing Pei Yan and Yu Tang, but he had just looked over, and Pei Xuan had already told Gu Chang about Pei Tong's splitting up.
Gu Chang was taken aback, stood up suddenly from his seat, stared at Pei Tong and Gu Xi sternly, and said, "Is what Mr. Pei said true?"
Pei Tong and Gu Xi knew that he objected when they saw him like this. Pei Tong couldn't help stammering: "Yes, that's how it is. The eldest uncle also knows and agrees. The second uncle doesn't want the property left by my grandfather, and the third uncle and I will share it equally..."
As for the debt of fifty thousand taels of silver, he thought it was better not to tell Gu Chang.
Gu Chang looked towards Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang coughed a little uneasy, and then he pretended to be sitting upright, and said: "It's a long story. Pei Xiaguang's separation of Pei Tong is also after careful consideration. After the separation of the sect , It’s not that he doesn’t recognize Ah Tong anymore, Ah Tong can still bring his mother and his brother back to the capital, for Ah Tong, it’s better for him to make a breakthrough while he is young.”
What a fart!
If the Pei brothers were not present, Gu Chang would have cursed out loud.
He knew that the Yang family's success was more than failure.
If you want to blame it, blame him for not paying attention to it, letting the Yang family interfere in his sister's housework, and making such a short-sighted decision.
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have said anything about face, and waited outside according to the wishes of the two Pei brothers.
Gu Chang didn't even want to look at Mr. Yang, let alone talk to him.
He bowed to Pei Xuan and Pei Yan, and said sincerely: "Can we not separate? They are still young, and Ah Tong's father is gone. If there is anything wrong with them, please feel free to the two uncles." Advice. There is no need to separate sects!"
Pei Xuan's expression was heavy, and he heard the words: "It's not that we don't want to control Ah Tong, it's because the branch sect treats Ah Tong better." Then he said, "There are some things that we, as uncles, will inevitably be biased when we say them. Let Ah Tong tell you. Please come here, I want you to be a witness. The property that should be given to Ah Tong, we two are uncles, and we will not hide a penny."
