Delicate Flower Chapter 76: Division

“I’ve saved it, I’ve saved it!” Yu Wen smiled and touched his daughter’s head, jokingly saying, “To reward you for your generosity before, I’ll give you this fifty-tael ingot as a personal gift. What do you want to buy? Just go buy it!"

For Yu Yuan’s engagement, Mrs. Chen gave some fabrics and other materials she had saved to Mr. Wang for Yu Yuan’s betrothal gift.

What a windfall!

Yu Tang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into crescent moons. He hurriedly put the ingot of silver in his arms, and then went to Chen's place with Yu Wen.

There were some things that both Yu Wen and Yu Tang deliberately hid from Chen. Naturally, Chen didn’t know that the money was obtained by the Yu family and his daughter by blackmailing the Lu family. She thought it was Yu Wen who had done something good and received a thank you gift from the Lu family. Naturally, she was overjoyed to see the silver, but after knowing that Yu Wen had given Yu Tang fifty taels of silver, she still couldn't help but blame her husband: "She is so young, what does she need? Can't we still detain her? How can you give her so much in one go?" Where is the silver?"

Yu Wen has always been generous, and at this time he does not treat Yu Tang as a little girl raised in a boudoir who is ignorant of the world. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "She is not young anymore, she has money in her hands, and she is not panicked. You Just leave it alone."

Seeing Yu Tang tightly guarding the fifty taels of silver, Mrs. Chen felt that she wouldn't be able to get it back even if she tried to care about it, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended not to see anything. Then she stopped mentioning the money and talked to Yu Tang about Ma Xiuniang: "She just hosted the ceremony of her husband's family. According to Mrs. Ma, her husband's family is very satisfied with her, and she also wants to take this opportunity to make a marriage." Wei, I want to invite you to play at her house. When you go, remember to dress up properly so as not to embarrass Xiu Niang."

Yu Tang agreed repeatedly and prepared to visit Ma Xiu’s mother’s house.

Another big event happened in Lin'an City.

The Li family clan is going to split with Li Duan’s clan!

The Li family clan also wanted to invite Pei Yan to be the intermediary and preside over the branching of the clan together with Tang Zhifu.

Everyone's jaw dropped when they heard the news.

Sect division has not happened in Lin'an City for many years.

In Yu Wen's words: "When I was a kid, it happened to your great-grandfather once."

Ms. Chen quickly asked: "What impact will that have?"

Yu Wen thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the two families don't worship together. But what I can't figure out is the Li family's clan. Li Duan is looking at the prosperity, how can they be willing It is separated from Li Duan's branch."

Yu Tang was concerned about another thing. She said, "Dad, has Mr. Pei San agreed to be the middleman for the Li family?"

Yu Wen didn't know either, so he thought to himself and said, "I should agree! The Li family is also a well-known family in Lin'an City."

Yu Tang took a sip of tea while listening.

Pei Yan in his previous life was much more mysterious than this time, and he rarely showed up to do anything. Now, less than a year after he took over as the head of the Pei family, he has already stepped in to preside over two disputes. I don’t know if it’s because he has really been involved in the world a lot in this life? Or is it because she has had more contact with Pei Yan in this life and knows more about him?

When Mr. Wu came to gossip with Yu Wen about this matter, Yu Wen couldn't help but ask about it: "Will Mr. Pei San be a middleman by then?"

"It is said that the third master is not in Lin'an City." Mr. Wu whispered, "The Li family clan and Li Duan went to invite him several times but they said he was not at home. Before, we thought it was the third master Pei who didn't want to get involved. Going into the matter, I found out after asking around two days ago that Mr. Pei San went to Hangzhou City and has not come back today! I heard from the county school’s Shen Jiaoyu that it seems that a censor came to Hangzhou City. In the same year that Master Pei San was born, the Chief Minister of Zhejiang invited Mr. Pei San to accompany him."

Yu Wen shook his head after hearing this and said, "Master Pei San is still in his filial piety period!"

"But we can't just focus on those who have gone and ignore those who are still there." Mr. Wu disagreed and said, "By the time we get out of the service, the eldest master of the Pei family is no longer here. The two young masters in the eldest house are still young and have no fame. , the third master of the Pei family returns home to inherit the ancestral business, and it is very important for the second master of the Pei family to come back. Even if the third master of the Pei family does not plan for himself, he must plan for the Pei family!"

Yu Tang recalled hard, it seemed that after the second master of the Pei family came back to power, he had a big official job. She couldn't remember what it was exactly, but the Li family was more afraid of mentioning it.

Yu Wen said: "Then the Li family will wait until Mr. Pei San comes back before dividing the clan?"

Master Wu looked around and saw that only Yu Tang was making tea in the room, so he didn't take it to heart. He lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, right? The Li family's clan and Li Duan had a big quarrel. There was a fight. The specific content of the quarrel has not been revealed, but it is probably related to your family's affairs."

Yu Wen was puzzled and asked: "It has something to do with our family's affairs?"

"Well!" Mr. Wu nodded and said, "Think about it, in the past, before Li Duan's branch was not prominent, the Li family's clan also helped them a lot. When Li Duan's branch became developed, Okay, apart from being exempted from taxes, what else does the clan get? But Li Duan's troubles brought down their clan. Isn't there a scholar in the Li family's clan now? ? With this scholar, you can always be exempted from taxes. If you think about it carefully, Li Duan's group is so vicious in their actions. Instead of being dragged down by Li Duan's group, it is better to take this opportunity to divide the sect. The relationship with Li Duan is completely broken, and everyone will live their own lives."

This is something neither Yu Wen nor Yu Tang expected.

Their family had a quarrel with the Li Duan family, and it actually resulted in such a quarrel.

Yu Wen still felt that it was too risky for the Li family clan to do this, and said: "But Li Xiucai is already in his forties this year, what if..."

In case he dies, the Li family will have to pay taxes again. This is no small sum of money. It will bring down the entire Li family. If it is not done well, it will cause resentment among the Li family members and they will change the clan house.

Master Wu said slyly: "Can't you tell? There must be someone behind this to support the Li family clan! Otherwise, how could the Li family clan be so bold!"

Yu Wen still didn’t understand.

Mr. Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really stupid and blessed, forget it. I am here to ask you for something else today. I want you to help me come up with an idea."

Yu Wen was not the kind of person who was troubled. He couldn't figure it out, so he put the matter behind him and asked about Mr. Wu's purpose.

Master Wu said: "I have a business that I would like to ask you if you are interested - I have a nephew who is doing business in Ningbo. They have a fleet that is about to go to sea. He wants to buy a batch of porcelain as a stock. , I just renovated the oil shop at home a few days ago, and I don’t have that much money on hand. Do you want to participate in it with me?"

Yu Wen had never thought about doing business with his neighbors, let alone a maritime business that he didn't understand at all.

Master Wu also knew this and said: "You don't have to reply to me at this time. You should discuss it with your family first. If you think it's risky and you have extra money at home, you can lend it to me and I'll pay you five cents. It’s up to you.”

Yu Wen really couldn't make up his mind for a moment. After a few words of greeting with Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu stood up and left.

Yu Tang was thinking about this.

In her previous life, for her parents' funeral, she finally sold the house and built a pavilion at her uncle's house. Although she is no longer a neighbor with Mr. Wu, she has heard some things about Mr. Wu's family - the Wu family is not in poverty, and Mr. Wu has not been involved in the maritime business.

What went wrong in this life that caused such a big change?

Did you get the two hundred taels of silver from the Lu family?

Without the experience of his previous life, it is difficult for Yu Tang to judge whether this matter is feasible or not.

This made her a little frustrated.

When Yu Wen asked her opinion, she said: "Can someone first ask me what kind of fleet it is?"

If she has an impression, it is possible to know the good or bad fortune of this fleet.

As long as the fleet can return safely, it can make a lot of money.

It was not easy to go to sea in the previous life. She may not know which ships returned safely, but if something happened, some rumors would spread.

Yu Wen has his own opinion. He said: "I don't like this kind of business. According to my opinion, I don't think about other people's business, and others don't want to think about mine. If Mr. Wu is really determined to do this business, For business, our family will lend him some silver. If he can’t pay it back, we’ll just pretend that our family doesn’t have the two hundred taels of silver from Bai Delu’s family!”

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

Her father has such a character.

"It's better to call brother here to discuss it." Yu Tang believed in Yu Yuan's judgment more, "Brother has been helping uncle manage the affairs of the shop these days. He has always heard and seen more than us."

Yu Wen thought it made sense and asked Yu Yuan to come over and talk.

Yu Yuan is opposed to this matter.

He said: "Since I went to Hangzhou last time, I have been paying attention to the business in Hangzhou. I heard people say that overseas business is very deep. If we really want to participate in the stock market, we have to find out all these things in advance. That’s right. Every other line is like a mountain. We can’t be jealous when we see others making money.”

Yu Tang agrees with Yu Yuan's opinion.

But out of loyalty to his friend, Yu Wen still lent him one hundred taels of silver to Mr. Wu.

When Yu Tang found out, he couldn't help but look at the sky.

She felt that her family would never be rich.

Soon, the separation of the Li family clan and the Li Duan family came to an end.

The Li family clan was a little impatient, and before Li Yi could write back to say whether he agreed or disagreed, he forcibly separated the clan from the Li Duan family.

Everyone thinks that the Li family’s clan is a bit impatient, but the Li family’s clan has spoken out~IndoMTL.com~ and said that the Li Duan family’s clan violated the ancestral precepts and was unwilling to be controlled by the clan. Instead of doing this, everyone If we are unhappy, it is better to separate from each other and live our own lives.

The Li family kidnapped Yu Tang because their marriage proposal failed, and the fact that their servant even made arrogant opinions and ordered the refugees to kill people was brought up and discussed by people in Lin'an City.

Everything is possible.

But overall, I still feel that Lin's actions are too cruel and the Li family's family tradition is not up to par.

Li Duan was so anxious that bubbles bubbled at the corners of his mouth.

Mrs. Lin was furious at home: "Who are these people talking about? Atuan, we can't let this matter go like this! It turns out that we were taking care of the clan, who knew that after we gave in, they would still I don’t appreciate it. Even if we separate the sects, you two brothers will study hard. In just a few years, you might become the second Pei family."

How can it be so simple?

Li Duan didn't want to complain in front of his mother, and was about to accept the promise with a smile when he heard a man say in a narrow tone: "What is Auntie losing your temper about? Fortunately, my cousin is filial and obeys you in everything." If it were me, I would have talked back to my mother long ago."
