Delicate Flower Chapter 6: Anecdote

In his previous life, Yu Tang had no feelings about the third master of the Pei family becoming the head of the Pei family. Mainly because she knew that when 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 head of the clan. But thinking about it now, she was very puzzled.

No matter how rich the Pei family's ancestry is, being a scholar and becoming the head of the clan means that you have to stay away from official career and stay in the countryside to keep your business. How can it be compared to joining the prime minister and leaving your name in history?

What's more, a wealthy family like the Pei family, in order to ensure that the children of the Pei family who go out to serve as officials will not be ruined by money, usually have a certain subsidy every year to ensure that the children of the Pei family can go out to serve as officials without being restricted by money. To express your ambition in politics, you don’t have to worry about chewing it at all. This is also an important reason why the newly wealthy Li family tried their best to make money after they became rich - their family wanted to be like the Pei family, and then step into the ranks of a wealthy family with farming, studying, family inheritance, and officials for generations.

Of course, Yu Tang only found out about this after marrying into the Li family.

Although Lu Xin's character is not very good, he has many friends and is well-informed. Although he cannot be believed entirely, it is also impossible not to believe it entirely. Since he said there was a quarrel over who the Pei family should be the sect leader for, it couldn't be groundless. At least the Pei family had a dispute over this.

Is the third master of the Pei family such a person?

Yu Tang thought of the impression the third master of the Pei family had on her in her previous life.

Mysterious, low-key, powerful, and aloof.

Firmly control the Pei family and control Lin'an City.

Like an eagle hovering in the sky, everyone usually doesn't feel anything, but once something big happens, they can feel the shadow cast by him.

She has never seen the third master of the Pei family who was so flattered by the Li family. The Li family wanted to intervene in Lin'an City's business behind the Pei family's back several times, but they did not dare to do so.

Would such a person fight with the nephew of the eldest son for the position of sect leader?

Yu Tang was very skeptical.

She couldn't help but smile to Lu Xin and said: "Uncle Lu is really well-informed! Since it was the old man's idea to let Mr. Pei San stay at home and inherit the family business, and filial piety comes first in everything, what can the eldest son have to fight for?"

In the past, Yu Tang didn't care about this. Lu Xin was quite surprised when he heard this. He was slightly startled and said to Yu Wen with a smile: "A Tang has grown up and has his own opinions!"

The implication is that as adults, they are talking together, and as a woman, Yu Tang should not interrupt casually.

Unfortunately, Yu Wen never felt that there was anything wrong with speaking out when he was confused when his only daughter was sitting at the table.

He smiled and said, "No. Our A'tang has grown up, become sensible, and knows how to care for and care about his parents." As he spoke, he thought that his daughter's growth was due to troubles at home, and he felt in his heart He couldn't help but feel a dull pain, looked slightly gloomy, and sighed.

Yu Bo was attracted by Lu Xin's words.

He is doing business outside, so he can better appreciate the power of the Pei family. It can even be said that if there is a disturbance in the Pei family, those who do business will sway along with it.

"Then whether the eldest son of the Pei family will inherit the family business or the third master will inherit the family business?" He was more concerned about this issue, "Mr. Lu, can you be more specific?"

Seeing that the two brothers were not in tune, Lu Xin felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't say much. He said angrily: "How can the patriarch of the Pei family make a decision so quickly? Although the old man of the Pei family is the patriarch, but Pei There are now three branches in the family. If it were to be passed on to the eldest son, no one would have anything to say. But if the old man of the Pei family wants to pass the inheritance to the third branch beyond the eldest and second branch, the other two branches will definitely not agree! This matter still needs to be debated. "

At the end of his words, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

Yu Tang despises this person even more.

Just now, I was eating and drinking at the Pei family, but I turned around and wished something would happen to the Pei family.

She secretly gave Lu Xin a roll of her eyes.

Yu Bo knew that Lu Xin had always spoken like this, so he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he worried: "I don't know when the Pei family's affairs will stop. If their family allows Changxing Street to be like this..."

Even if the Yu family had money to rebuild the shop, they would not be able to start a business.

Who would go shopping in a pile of ruins?

Lu Xin didn't care about this. He rambled on about a lot of gossip about the Pei family. For example, the eldest son of the Pei family married the eldest daughter of the dynasty's liberator. Both sons were good at studying. They had studied with their grandfather since they were young. At a young age, they were very knowledgeable.

The second master has the temperament of a clay bodhisattva. When something goes wrong, he only knows how to agree. He is marrying the daughter of Mr. Pei’s classmate, and he 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 does not like to study. When he was seven or eight years old, he could not sit still. He often skipped school and went to the opera house to listen to operas and watch sideshows. When he was a little older, he learned how to gamble on cockfights, which made the stewards of his family look for him all over the street. He was a well-known **** in Lin'an City. Even if the eldest man of the Pei family wants to teach his younger brother a lesson, he will be stopped by the old man of the Pei family. At that time, everyone said that the century-old reputation of the Pei family would be ruined by the third master of the Pei family. Who knew that he would pass the Jinshi examination without any problems? Not to mention the people outside, even the people in the Pei family were shocked, wondering if they had made a mistake. The old man of the Pei family was also extremely partial. Knowing that the third master of the Pei family was in high school, he took a basket full of copper coins and scattered them at the gate. He was also thinking of arranging a prominent marriage for this young son, and he said that he was not the direct descendant of a third-rank official. Women are not allowed. What's even more sinister is that this incident really made the old man of the Pei family realize his dream. At that time, Mr. Ci Fu Xin was said to have taken a liking to the third master of the Pei family. If the eldest master hadn't died suddenly and suddenly, the marriage would have been...

Yu Tang listened with great interest.

She had never heard of these anecdotes about the third master of the Pei family in her previous life.

When other people talk about the third master of the Pei family, they always say "I know him", "I know him", "I have met him", "I drank wine and dined with the third master" and so on, with a sense of honor. 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 had been a stable, sensible, and well-educated son of the family since he was a child!

Yu Wen seemed to have never heard about the third master of the Pei family, and he couldn't believe it.

Lu Xin said disapprovingly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now that he is observing politics in the Six Ministries at a young age, and the Pei family is deliberately trying to guide him, who would continue to criticize Pei San without knowing what he is doing. That is, people like us, no one Those who have no stake at all are being treated as duckweeds."

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 lacquer business, and your father is a scholar after all. He has served as an aide to Mr. Zuo and is a scholar. Origin."

Master Zuo, whose name is Guangzong, was born as a Jinshi in the Second Ranking. During his tenure as governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he defeated pirates many times and benefited the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After being promoted to the Minister of War, he was posthumously granted the title of Xiangmao. He is a famous and capable minister 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 adult's name and anecdotes.

Lu Xin was a little proud and asked Yu Tang's mother to bring wine. He wanted to have two drinks with the Yu brothers. After drinking for three rounds, he talked about the deeds of his ancestors: "...my father once personally followed Mr. Zuo went to sea, drew maps, and also helped Mr. Zuo train the navy."

Yu Tang felt that Lu Xin was bragging.

After a meal that reached the willow branches above 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 three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

He looked pale and smelt of alcohol as he wandered around the room looking for shoes: "It's over! It's over! Huili, where did you buy these servants? How come you can't even do this? You can't do small things well. You knew clearly that the eldest son of the Pei family was going to be buried today, and I had to help arrange the funeral, but you didn't wake me up earlier! You're killing me!"

Yu Wen felt guilty, and while helping him find the shoes that he had left at the bottom of the bed, he said apologetically: "It's okay, it's okay, the Pei family is very close to us. I'll let A Tiao take you. Take the path there."

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Lu Xin urged. He didn't even have time to take a sip of the tea before following Yu Wen's servant A Tiao out the door.

Yu Tang looked behind the curtain and smiled, then turned around and had breakfast with his mother.

The eldest aunt Wang and the eldest cousin Yu Yuan came to see Yu Wen.

Yu Yuan took the memorial written by Yu Wen overnight and left, but his aunt stayed behind.

Yu Tang thought that it might be because of the batch of goods that was burned in the shop, and listened through the window lattice in the corner.

As expected, the eldest aunt wanted her father to persuade her eldest uncle to go to Jiangxi to buy lacquerware.

Yu Tang felt slightly at ease. ~IndoMTL.com~ After seeing his aunt off for lunch, Yu Wen went out, saying he wanted to go to the shop to have a look.

Ms. Chen already knew that her shop had been burned down, but she didn’t know the seriousness of the matter. When she sent Yu Wen out in person, she told him: "Money is something outside the body. My uncle has always taken care of the household affairs. No." Uncle, our family's business can't be done either. If you have anything to say, our family can just accept the loss more."

Yu Wen nodded casually and told Chen and Yutang when he came back in the evening: "Eldest brother and Ayuan have to go to Jiangxi on urgent matters. I will make some dry food and side dishes for them to eat on the road."

Ms. 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 slowly moving towards the good side. Given time, we will definitely get rid of the bad luck in our previous life.

Yu Tang happily went to the kitchen to help Chen.

Lu Xin came to the door again dejectedly.

He said to Yu Wen with a grimace: "You're going to kill me this time! When I arrived at Pei's house this morning, the eldest young master of the Pei family had already thrown the basin, and the chief manager of the Pei family glared at me fiercely. One glance. Niang Xipi, who is he? He is just a dog raised by the Pei family. If it were not for the sake of the Pei family, who would know him!"

When Lu Xin rarely said something obscene, Yu Wen was stunned. Lu Xin said: "No! I can't stay in Lin'an anymore. It's a stagnant place, and there's no point in staying any longer. I want to Go to the capital. My father still has a few old friends in the capital." He said, turned around and took Yu Wen's hand, "Huili, don't I have a "Picture of Fishing in Songxi" with you? What did you do a few days ago? He also said that he likes it and wants to buy it. In this way, we will become friends, and I won’t say more than two hundred taels of silver. You can take the two hundred taels of silver."
