In the previous life, Yu Tang had no feelings for the third master of the Pei family becoming the suzerain of the Pei family. The main reason is that when she knew that the Pei family was headed by the third master, she had already married into the Li family, and the third master of the Pei family was already the suzerain. But thinking about it now, she was very puzzled.
No matter how rich the Pei family's ancestral business is, as a scholar and becoming the suzerain, it means that he has to stay away from official career and stay in the countryside to keep his business.
What's more, a rich family like the Pei family usually has a certain amount of subsidies every year in order to ensure that the children who go out to be officials will not be overturned in their careers because of money, so as to ensure that the children of the Pei family are not bound by property when they are officials outside. Once you show your ambitions, you don't have to worry about chewing. This is also an important reason why the Li family tried desperately to make money after the upstarts—their family wanted to be like the Pei family, and since then they have entered the ranks of farming and studying heirlooms and generations of officials.
Of course, Yu Tang didn't know this until after marrying into the Li family.
Although Lu Xin's personality is not very good, he has many friends and is well-informed. Although he can't believe everything, he can't completely believe it. Since he said that the Pei family started to make a fuss about who was the suzerain, it couldn't be groundless. At least the Pei family had disputes over this.
But is the third master of the Pei family such a person
Yu Tang thought of the impression given to her by the third master of the Pei family in her previous life.
Mysterious, understated, powerful, and above all.
Hold the Pei family firmly and control Lin'an City.
Like a falcon hovering in the air, everyone doesn't feel much at ordinary times, but once encountering any major event, they can feel the shadow shrouded by him.
She had never met the third master of the Pei family who was so flattering to the Li family; the Li family wanted to intervene in the business of Lin'an City behind the back of the Pei family several times, but they didn't dare to do it.
Would such a person compete with the elder's nephew for the position of suzerain
Yu Tang was very suspicious.
She couldn't help laughing at Lu Xin: "Uncle Lu's news is really well-informed! Since it is the old man's idea to let Mr. Pei San stay at home and inherit the family business, filial piety is the first priority in everything. What is there to fight for the eldest house?"
In the past, Yu Tang didn't care about these things. Lu Xin was quite surprised when he heard the words, he was slightly taken aback, and said to Yu Wen with a smile: "A Tang has grown up and has her own opinions!"
The implication is that these adults are talking together, and Yu Tang, as a woman, shouldn't interrupt casually.
It's a pity that Yu Wen never felt that it was wrong for his only daughter to speak up when she was confused.
He smiled and said, "That's not true. Our family, A-Tang, has grown up, is sensible, and knows how to love and care for her parents." While talking, he thought that his daughter's growth was caused by the family's troubles, and he couldn't help but feel a little blunt. Painful, his expression darkened, and he sighed.
Yu Bo was attracted by Lu Xin's words.
He is doing business outside, so he can appreciate the power of the Pei family better. It can even be said that there is a trouble in the Pei family, and those who do business will sway along with it.
"Then, will the Pei family inherit the family business from the eldest house or the third master?" He was more concerned about this question, "Can Mr. Lu be more specific."
Seeing that the two brothers were out of tune, Lu Xin felt a little displeased, but he didn't want to say much, and said in a stern voice, "How can the suzerain of the Pei family make a decision so quickly? Although the old man of the Pei family is the suzerain, the Pei family now shares Three branches. If it is passed on to the eldest son, no one has anything to say. But if the old master of the Pei family wants to pass on to the third house over the eldest house and the second house, the other two houses will definitely disagree! This matter is still up for debate."
At the end of his words, there was a little gloating in his tone.
Yu Tang despised this person even more.
Just now, she was eating and drinking at Pei's house, but when she turned around, she wished that something happened to Pei's house.
She secretly gave Lu Xin a supercilious look.
Yu Bo knew that Lu Xin's words had always been like this, so he didn't take it to heart, but worried: "I don't know when the Pei family's affairs will stop, if their family let Changxing Street go like this..."
Even if the Yu family had the money to rebuild the shop, they would not be able to start a business.
Who would run into a pile of ruins to buy things.
Lu Xin didn't care about these, he babbled a lot of gossip about the Pei family. For example, the eldest daughter of the Pei family married the eldest daughter who offered sacrifices to wine. Both sons were educated. They studied with their grandfather since they were young. Although they are young, they are very knowledgeable.
The second master has the temperament of a mud bodhisattva, he only knows how to agree when things happen, and he married the daughter of the old master Pei's classmate, who has a son and a daughter.
The third master is an old man. He has been very naughty since he was a child. He likes to dance with guns and sticks, but he doesn't like to study. When he was seven or eight years old, he couldn't sit still. He learned how to gamble on cockfights, causing the housekeepers to search for someone all over the street. He is a well-known playboy in Lin'an City. If the elder of the Pei family wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson, he would be stopped by the elder of the Pei family. At that time, everyone said that the Pei family's century-old reputation would be ruined by the third master of the Pei family. Who knew that he would be admitted to Jinshi smoothly? Not to mention the outsiders, even the people of the Pei family were shocked, wondering if they had made a mistake. The old man of the Pei family was also very partial. Knowing that the third master of the Pei family was in high school, he took a basket filled with copper coins and scattered them at the gate, and he was still thinking about telling this young son about a prominent marriage, so he said that he was not the heir of a third-rank family member. Women are not allowed. What's even more evil is that this incident really made the old man of the Pei family come true. It is said that the second assistant, Mr. Xin, has taken a fancy to the third master of the Pei family. If the old man hadn't suddenly died suddenly, this marriage would have become...
Yu Tang listened with gusto.
She had never heard of these anecdotes about the third master of the Pei family in her previous life.
When others talk about the third master of the Pei family, they always say "I know you" with a hint of honor, or "I have met", "I have had drinks and meals with the third master" and so on. She never knew that the third master of the Pei family had been so frivolous and impetuous when he was young.
She thought that the third master of the Pei family was a stable, sensible, and well-educated family member since he was a child!
Yu Wen didn't seem to have heard about the third master of the Pei family, so he couldn't think of it.
Lu Xin said disapprovingly: "The winner is the king and the bandit is defeated. Now that he is watching politics in Liubu at a young age, and the Pei family intends to guide him, who would continue to criticize Pei San ignorantly. It is like us, who have no roots and no roots. Yes, being counted as duckweed."
Yu Wen knew that he was going to complain again, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "You are better than me. My father is in the paint business, and your father is a scholar at any rate. He worked as an assistant for Mr. Zuo, and he is from a scholarly family."
Master Zuo's name is Guangzong, and he was born as a Jinshi in two rankings. During his tenure as governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he repelled pirates many times and benefited the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Tired official to the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was posthumously named Xiangmao after his death. He is a famous minister and capable minister who went out from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has a high reputation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Even a little girl like Yu Tang, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, has heard of this lord's name and anecdotes.
Lu Xin was a little proud, and asked Yu Tang's mother to bring wine. He wanted to drink two glasses with the Yu brothers, and after drinking for three rounds, he talked about the deeds of his ancestors: "...my father once went to sea with Mr. Zuo, Draw maps, and also helped Lord Zuo train the navy."
Yu Tang felt that Lu Xin was bragging.
When the meal reached the end of the willow tree on the moon, Yu Yuan helped Lu Xin, who was drunk and talking nonsense, to rest at Yu's house.
The next day, Lu Xin slept until the sun was up.
His face was pale, and with the smell of alcohol in his mouth, he walked around the room looking for shoes: "It's over! It's over! Huili, where did you buy these servants in your family? How can you even do such a small thing? Not good. Knowing that the elder of the Pei family is going to have a funeral today, I have to help arrange the funeral, so you didn't wake me up earlier! You killed me!"
Feeling guilty, Yu Wen helped him find the shoes that he had dumped under the bed at some point, and said apologetically, "It's okay, it's okay, Pei's house is very close to our place. I'll ask Ah Shao to take you on the path .”
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Lu Xin urged, before he had time to take a sip of tea, he went out with Yu Wen's servant, A Shao.
Yu Tang watched from behind the curtain, pursed his lips and smiled, then turned around and had breakfast with his mother.
Aunt Wang and elder cousin Yu Yuan came to see Yu Wen.
Yu Yuan took the sacrificial note written by Yu Wenlian Ye and left, but the eldest aunt stayed behind.
Yu Tang thought it might be because of the batch of goods that were burned in the shop, and listened to the corner through the window lattice.
The eldest aunt really wanted my father to persuade my uncle to go to Jiangxi to buy lacquerware.
Yu Tang felt at ease in his heart.
After seeing off his aunt for lunch, Yu Wen went out, saying that he was going to visit the shop.
Mrs. Chen already knew that her shop was burned, but she still didn't know the seriousness of the matter. When she personally sent Yu Wen out, she told him: "Money is a possession outside the body. My uncle has always helped take care of the general affairs at home. Without uncle, we The family's business can't be done either. If you have anything to say, just say it, and our family can admit more losses."
Yu Wen nodded indiscriminately, and when he came back at night, he told Chen Shi and Yu Tang: "Brother and A Yuan have something urgent to go to Jiangxi, and the family made some dry food and side dishes for them to eat on the way."
Mrs. Chen agreed with a smile, and went to the kitchen with Mrs. Chen.
Yu Tang let out a long sigh of relief.
Things at home are always moving towards the good side slowly, and in time, they will definitely get rid of the bad luck of the previous life.
Yu Tang happily went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Chen.
Lu Xin went to the door again dejectedly.
He said to Yu Wen with a bitter face: "You've killed me this time! When I arrived at Pei's mansion this morning, the young master of the Pei family had already thrown a basin, and the chief manager of the Pei family gave me a hard look. Mother Hippie's, what is he? It's just a dog of the Pei family. If it weren't for the Pei family, who would know him!"
When Lu Xin seldom uttered obscenities, Yu Wen was taken aback, and Lu Xin said: "No! I can't stay in Lin'an any longer. There's no point in staying any longer with stagnant water. I'm going to the capital. My father still has a few old friends in the capital." He said, turned around and took Yu Wen's hand, "Hui Li, don't I have a picture of "Fishing in Pine Stream" with you? You said you liked it a few days ago , I want to buy it. In this way, we are friends, and I won’t say too much, two hundred taels of silver. You can take the two hundred taels of silver.”
