Gu Chang's head is big.
It has been three years since Mrs. Pei passed away, that is to say, it has been three years since Pei Yan took over the affairs of the Pei family. Even if there were any uneven accounts, he would have settled them long ago. It's impossible to see how much money old Mrs. Pei left behind from the accounts.
Moreover, with the status of Mrs. Pei, 300,000 taels of silver, what Pei Yan paid was already a conscience price, and for Pei Tong who wanted to divide the family and property, he was very worthy of him.
But he didn't want Pei Tong to separate.
From a long-term point of view, sect division is very unfavorable to Pei Tong.
Let's not say that Pei Tong has not yet entered an official position, just talk about Pei Fei. Pei You passed away, Pei Tong was the eldest son, and Pei Fei was his responsibility. Without the big umbrella of the Pei Mansion, Pei Fei, a second son who had to rely on his elder brother, could talk about a good marriage
Without a good marriage, how can their brothers hold together to keep warm, how can they have a good future
Besides, Pei You's so-called contemporaries and colleagues, with Pei Xuan, an uncle who is in the midst of his official career, would pass Pei Xuan and invest resources in Pei Tong, who has not yet achieved success and has no future in sight.
If Pei Tong really has something to do, can't he go to Pei Xuan
If Pei Xuan helps Pei Tong, this relative will still be there. If Pei Xuan didn't help Pei Tong, who would still recognize Pei Tong as a child of the Pei family
There are many people who add icing on the cake, but few people give charcoal in the snow!
How could Pei Tong be so short-sighted and agree to become a sect
Gu Chang suspected that Mr. Yang did something wrong.
Why didn't Gu Xi stop her
He glared at Gu Xi with some resentment, shouted "nonsense", and said to the two Pei brothers: "Let's discuss this matter again!"
Gu Xi was full of grievances.
She vaguely felt that her brother would not agree to the separation of the family, but she was a housewife after all, so why would she stop Pei Tong and Mr. Yang
Besides, she thinks it's okay to divide them up like this.
Her own life will definitely get better and better.
Gu Xi pouted and lowered her head.
Gu Chang looked at it and sighed, feeling that he had offended his sister.
How many people can become Pei Yan's opponents!
If Pei Yan wanted to throw Pei Tong out alone, even if he was present, he might not be able to stop it.
But he still didn't give up, he didn't want to give up just like that.
He asked Pei Tong: "You two uncles are not people who care about every detail. You should think about some things. It's hard to get over it."
Pei Tong couldn't help but hesitate again.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Mr. Yang next to him reminded Pei Tong with a smile: "This is also what your grandfather meant. Otherwise, he would not have passed on the position of Suzerain to your third uncle. You leave, the old and the young are orderly, right The Pei family is also good."
He was reminding Pei You of what he had done.
Because of this, Pei Tong was embarrassed to leave like this.
He looked at his two uncles, pondered for a moment, but still couldn't hold back, apologized to the two uncles, pulled Mr. Yang out of the door, and said in a low voice: "If I leave Pei's house, you Can you give me the letter my father wrote you?"
Master Yang immediately became vigilant, and said nervously: "What are you going to do? Are you afraid that the Pei family will break their promise?"
"No!" Pei Tong said with some embarrassment, "I blamed the third uncle. But I don't want to forget Dad's death. I think, since I want to leave, I should leave cleanly and stop participating in Pei's death." You can get rid of the family affairs. The letter my father wrote to you is my gift to them. From then on, I don’t owe the Pei family any more, and they don’t owe me any more. When we meet again , Just nod your head."
How stupid!
Master Yang held back, so he didn't say these words.
However, young people, who have never experienced anything before, always think that everything in this world is so simple, and they will know how powerful they are after suffering.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over the letter to the Pei family.
This is one of his means of self-protection.
He and Pei Tong were practicing Tai Chi: "There's no need to worry about it right now, we'll talk about it after the family property is clearly divided."
Pei Tong didn't want to lose face anymore.
He misunderstood Pei Yan at first, and then took advantage of Pei Xuan.
He also wanted to be an upright man, rather than let people say that he took advantage of the Pei family.
Pei Tong grabbed Mr. Yang and said, "Uncle, you should give it to me! While my uncle is here, let's make things clear. I don't want to leave Pei's house in debt."
Mr. Yang frowned almost invisible, and was unwilling to hand over the letter: "You child, why are you so obstinate. That letter is so important, how can you just send it out like this? Don't worry, I will keep it. The purpose of writing that letter was not to let the Pei family confiscate the family and exterminate the family, so what good is that for us? Just trust uncle, I will give it to the Pei family at an appropriate time. "
Is it after getting greater benefits
Pei Tong looked at the familiar face of his uncle, but felt a biting chill for the first time.
The trouble between their family and the Pei family is what it is today, isn't the Yang family the key point of the conflict
Isn't uncle responsible at all
Perhaps, there is no reliable person in this world.
Even his second uncle still has scruples about his third uncle and won't help him wholeheartedly.
Pei Tong was very disappointed, he glanced at Mr. Yang indifferently, and said: "Then it will be as you wish."
Even if their room left the Pei family, they would not follow the Yang family's lead.
If he wanted to leave, he was ready to leave completely, and would no longer associate with these aristocratic families in Jiangnan.
From now on, they will be a small family in the capital.
Pei Tong seemed to see the dim lights lit in the yard where he grew up in the dark.
So be it!
He took advantage of the family, so just treat it as his debt to the two uncles, and pay it back when he is capable!
Pei Tong straightened his back, walked in, looked at Pei Yan and Pei Xuan for the first time, and took the initiative to say to his two uncles: "Second uncle, third uncle, I kept you waiting for a long time. I believe you will not lie to me. I won’t look at the accounts, just as you said, I will move to the yard where my father lived before. I can repair the family tree, settle in the capital, and pick up my mother and younger brother. I’m afraid I need two uncles to help me take care of it. .”
After he finished speaking, he respectfully saluted Pei Yan and Pei Xuan, as if they were two people who were clamoring frantically to settle accounts with Pei Yan just now.
Pei Yan and Pei Xuan couldn't help but glance at each other.
However, Pei Tong turned around and went to talk to Gu Chang: "Brother, please come here specially for my sake. My uncle is right, it would be better for the Pei family if I leave the Pei family. Just leave Zong Divide up!"
The matter has come to this point, what's the use of Gu Chang's objection.
But in his heart, dissatisfaction with the Yang family was buried.
Two days later, Pei Tong fixed a date for moving, and Gu Chang came again when he found time.
All the things to be taken away from home have been packed and put away, and they just waited for the auspicious time to move to the house that Pei You bought back then. Gu Xi also changed from her laziness in the past, and stood in front of the steps of the main house in good spirits, personally directing the servants at home to dig up a few peonies in the yard.
Gu Chang couldn't help but said, "How did you dig up the flowers and trees in the yard? Does the Pei family know?"
"I know!" Gu Xi invited Gu Chang to sit in the room, and said: "Second Aunt said, I can take whatever I like. These are two relatively rare black chrysanthemums. Even if you have money, you may not buy them." Got it. Pei Xiaguang doesn't like flowers and plants, so he doesn't grow much in his house, why don't I take them there!"
It's all little things.
Gu Chang didn't talk to her, but asked about the property distribution: "Has the money arrived?"
Gu Xi nodded, looking very satisfied: "The two uncles called Pei Tong over early the next morning. In addition to giving him the money, they also gave him a copy of the accounts. Those real estates were left to the Pei family. It is because we will live in the capital for a long time, and it is not convenient to manage. We have changed to a farm in Miyun nearby, with more than 500 acres, and we all think it is very good. We will wait for my mother-in-law to bring my brother-in-law to the capital."
fair enough!
Gu Chang nodded.
Gu Xi personally brought him some snacks and came in, sat beside him, and said: "Pei Tong went to clean up the old house and came back at night. Brother, let's go after dinner here! I always feel that Yang The family has bad intentions, and you have to talk to him about some things."
When Gu Chang came here, he also had the same intention, so he agreed naturally.
It is rare for the two brothers and sisters to sneak away for half a day, talking about themselves.
On Yu Tang's side, Ah Xing was quietly suing Gu Xi: "Didn't you say that she is a girl from a family with four surnames in the south of the Yangtze River? Why are you still so rare about our peony flowers? Can't you go to the flower farmer to buy them? You have to dig them up." Take it away. Are you too used to her?"
Yu Tang smiled and said, "I didn't agree to this, it was the second wife who agreed. I have to take care of the second wife anyway, right?"
A Xing curled her lips, but said nothing in front of Yu Tang.
Yu Tang asked her: "Have you packed up all the things for my mother's family?"
A Xing nodded repeatedly.
Yu Yuan was about to return to Lin'an, and Yu Tang asked him to help him bring some things back. A Xing helped prepare for her mother's family, and Qing Yuan helped prepare for her in-law's family.
A Xing said: "I heard from the concierge that the third master ordered them to prepare a car. At that time, I will send my uncle and young master to Tongzhou to board the ship!"
Compared with her previous life, Ah Xing is more lively, and she also likes to run around, asking about this and that. Because of this, Yu Tang knew a lot about the affairs of the servants in the mansion.
Hearing what she said, Yu Tang couldn't help being moved. When Pei Yan came back at night, she not only helped Pei Yan change his clothes attentively, but also took the initiative to rub against his shoulder and asked him softly: "I want to go with you Tongzhou!"
Pei Yan didn't hide her whereabouts at all. Hearing this, she laughed haha, squeezed her chin, teased her and said, "You bought too many things, and the car can't fit them. You can't take anyone there."
"Nonsense!" Yu Tang was dissatisfied, jumped away from Pei Yan, and said, "I asked Pei Wu, and he said that he has prepared a car for you." As she spoke, her eyes rolled straight, "If it's really not enough , then let's borrow a carriage from Yin's residence? Anyway, Mrs. Yin can't do anything these days, Lord Yin must be with her at home. Their family must have a lot of carriages. "
Pei Yan smiled and said: "The debt of favor is even harder to pay back. I just went out in the past two days and paid 150,000 taels of silver, so we have to use it quickly."
Yu Tang immediately took out his private money, and smiled triumphantly: "When I came, my father gave me one thousand taels of silver, and my mother-in-law gave me three thousand taels of silver. You don't need to spend it. This time I will go to Tongzhou I cover all the expenses."
Pei Yan's heart ached to see that wealthy little appearance, with a hint of cunning in his mischievousness.
