Delicate Flower: Extra 3

The second wife gave up her share to subsidize Pei Tong, not to squander it for the Yang family.

When she heard this, she immediately trembled with anger, sat up straight and said nervously: "What did Ah Fei say?"

Gu Xi sighed and said, "I'm not confused. Of course my brother-in-law didn't want to. My mother-in-law even had a big fight with him over this."

She gave Pei Fei an idea and went to study in an academy outside in the spring. If anyone asked, she told Pei Fei that she had asked her second uncle Pei Xuan to keep the money. If anyone wanted to borrow money, they should go to Pei Xuan.

Although Pei Fei has been in the capital for several years, there are differences between men and women. In addition, the eldest wife did not like Gu Xi very much later and did not arrange her in front of her two sons. The relationship between Pei Fei and Gu Xi is very distant. This time Uncharacteristically, Gu Xi gave him advice. To his surprise, he suddenly understood some of the reasons why the eldest wife didn't like Gu Xi before.

It should be the same thing as getting angry at him now - he didn't listen to her and helped the Yang family wholeheartedly.

But the Yang family had already drifted away from their family because of his eldest brother's failure. Why did they still want to stick to the cold **** of the Yang family?

In any case, Pei Fei is a direct descendant of the Pei family and has never suffered any anger. Although his career is not going well, no one will ridicule him in front of him. He still has a juvenile air. He is arrogant and doesn't like the Yang family's style.

Not only did he listen to Gu Xi's words, he also talked back to his mother and said to the eldest wife: "I don't care how you discussed it. No one can touch my share. If mother thinks it's my uncle's house, Things are more important. I remember that my mother still had a lot of dowry in her hands. It would be better to sell it to help my uncle’s family and return the property to its original owner."

The eldest lady was so angry that she called Pei Fei "selfish".

Pei Fei sneered and walked away.

Gu Xi thought Pei Fei was quite interesting, so she simply added fuel to the fire and said, "In the past, we were protected by the Pei Mansion, but no one thought about it. Now that we are independent, we have to spend money wherever we go. High price. Apart from anything else, for this year's charcoal, the Pei family ordered part of it, and the Tao family, Fei family, and Qin family gave away part of it. As for our family, part of it was bought at the market price, and part of it was snapped up and compared with the market price. It's twice as expensive. This is because my second aunt helped me say hello, and the shop didn't make more money for me. With all this going on, our family's expenses can't even cover the 4,000 taels of silver a year. Now the public only has There are more than 10,000 taels of silver left. How about you post a little more? We collected 20,000 taels and sent them to my uncle's family. It can be considered a favor from us.

"Just like this, what will happen to the expenses of the public school? I have to ask you to come up with an idea.

"Or should my uncle and I share it equally? Or should each of our families come up with a fixed amount? It's easy to say it's equal, but what will happen in the future? How about we come up with a fixed amount? Then we can spend as much as we can in a year. How much. If it is not enough, reduce the number of servants at home. If it is not enough, save more on chewing. It should be able to last for several years."

Also said: "According to me, it is better for each of us to have a fixed amount. Otherwise, we will pay as much as we use, and if we can't get out, we will lose everything no matter how much money we have."

This is to reduce her expenses!

The eldest lady will never agree. But the money in the family is in Gu Xi's hands. If she wants to move, she has to go through Gu Xi, which will alarm Pei Xuan and Gu Chang. The eldest wife feels that if things really come to that point, it will only make the Yang family lose face and make the Yang family lose face. People thought that her natal family was going to decline.

She hated it, but she didn't say anything to Gu Xi.

As long as Gu Xi didn't tell her clearly, she would pretend to be confused and pretend she didn't know.

When the second wife heard that Pei Fei had rejected the eldest wife, she was relieved and asked with concern: "Do you really spend four thousand taels of silver a year these years?"

There weren’t so many when she took charge of the family.

Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered to the second wife: "How is that possible! If I didn't say that, my mother-in-law wouldn't know what trouble would happen again!"

The second wife sighed after hearing this, clapped her hand and said, "I'm really embarrassing you. It will definitely be much better when your brother returns to the capital."

The Sun Gao incident still got serious. In order to avoid some rumors in the capital, Gu Chang went to Baoding to be the prefect four years ago.

Pei Xuan felt a little pity, but he still had Pei Chan and Pei Bo to take care of, so he could only express a few words of emotion to his second wife in private.

Gu Xi is very confident.

She knew that the Yin family would help her brother plan it.

I chatted with the second wife for a while about her family’s daily routine, and the woman in charge came in to give me some instructions and said: “Do you want to clear out the small yard on the west side separately?”

Gu Xi knew it was where she used to live in Pei Mansion.

She listened carefully.

The second wife thought for a while and said, "Should we pack it up? I don't know who else will come with us except the young master of the Wei family? If there are too many people, it will definitely not be possible for them all to live in that small courtyard. If there are only Young master of the Wei family, it’s best to clean up a secluded yard.”

The mother-in-law smiled and accepted the promise.

Gu Xi couldn't help but said: "The young master of the Wei family? Whose family is the in-law?"

She deliberately told Pei Fei about their marriage, so that the 45,000 taels of silver that Pei Fei left in her hands would not fall into the hands of the eldest wife. She just wants to let the Yang family and the eldest wife see and eat.

Those familiar families are unlikely to be married to Pei Fei. Instead, they are like the Yang family where the second daughter of the Pei family married, or the Hu family where the fourth daughter of the Pei family married. If there is a daughter from a side branch, they would be a good match.

The second wife smiled and said: "He is a relative of your third aunt's family. Their youngest son used to study in the county school, and Mr. Fang taught him. Later, Mr. Fang left, and the child studied with Mr. Yu. After reading for a while, Mr. Yu recommended him to your third uncle. The child is going to die this year, so he came here with your third uncle."

Gu Xi was shocked.

She knew that Yutang’s mother-in-law’s brother was doing well in business, but she didn’t expect that he would become a scholar.

I am not afraid of having money, but I am afraid that someone in my family will become an official.

Gu Xi's smile couldn't help but become a little forced, and said: "Third uncle still has time to teach people to read! I really didn't expect it. Is that Young Master Wei very smart? He sounds young. Have you seen him?"

"I've never seen it." The second wife said with a smile, "He must be a good character. Otherwise, with your third uncle's character, he would not ask for trouble to take in a student even if he has nothing to do. This child is so young Not old, he hasn't been engaged yet. Your third aunt came to the capital this time and wanted to arrange a suitable marriage for him. In addition to entrusting me, she also entrusted Mrs. Yin. I thought about it, considering Mrs. Yin's personality, I am afraid that she would have been married long ago. All the girls of suitable age in the capital have thought about it over and over again. As soon as your third aunt arrives, there should be good news for her."

Yin Mingyuan has been hanging out in the Hanlin Academy in the past few years, as if he has no intention of pursuing an official career. His body is still as sick as before, but he has published many books. Some people even said that he might become the most famous scholar in this dynasty, and those in the Hanlin Academy also had special respect for him.

Xu had one child after another, and is now the mother of four children.

The first three are sons, and the youngest is a daughter. She fell asleep just last month, but she has never done the full moon ceremony.

Gu Xi had asked why before, but the Yin family only told the outside world that it was because the weather was too cold, so instead of doing the full moon ceremony, they only performed the 100-day ceremony.

Does Mrs. Xu want to wait for Yu Tang to come to the capital?

This idea flashed through Gu Xi's mind, but was immediately rejected by her.

It’s not like the Xu family really has the final say in the Yin family, so how could they change their daughter’s celebration just to wait for Yu Tang to come to Beijing?

However, Mrs. Xu really knows a lot of people. If she is the matchmaker, no matter who it is for the sake of others, she is really sure of it.

She thought of Pei Fei.

Gu Xi shook her head in her heart.

In the past, she could have asked the second wife to ask the Xu family, but now... people like Yin and Li rarely send her invitations for any happy events, so she just begged Xu. Xu would only politely refuse.

But she was still curious about whether Mrs. Xu could help.

She smiled and said to the second wife: "I wonder what Master Wei is looking for? If Master Wei's marriage can be settled, please tell me and I will hear an interesting story."

The second wife smiled and said: "The child's family is a country squire, and he is white. I am thinking that he must be looking for someone who can help him."

As for whether it is financial support or career support, you will have to meet Yu Tang to know.

While the two were talking, Pei Dan suddenly came over.

The second wife was so frightened that she almost dropped the tea cup and asked the maid who came to report: "Why did she come back without saying hello? Where is my uncle? Did he send her back? Did she bring Brother Sen? She looks like a What's it like?"

Seng Geer is Pei Dan’s eldest son.

The maid was a little confused by the second wife's question and said: "My aunt is fine and happy. She didn't bring the young master here. She said she has something to ask you and will leave after asking her."

"This child!" The second wife was still worried and stood up to greet him. Pei Dan lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Mom!" she called happily.

Compared with when she was a girl, she has grown a little taller and fatter, but her complexion is getting better, and her personality is more cheerful and lively than before. About I took my mother-in-law to see Mrs. Zhang. She took Brother Sen's house with me. My carriage was walking behind, so I turned a corner and came to ask you, is your third aunt coming over? She also brought two children with her. A little cousin? I met the eldest aunt of the Zhang family at the Zhang family. She went to see Mrs. Yin a few days ago. Mrs. Yin said that the third aunt will come to the capital in the next few days. She helped the third aunt's natal brother to get married. Look at others!"

What a mess this is!

The eldest daughter of the Zhang family married the son of Yang Chunhe, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Yang Chunhe thought highly of Yin Mingyuan. It is said that the matchmaking was done by the Xu family.

The second wife smiled and frowned, and said, "I think you just went crazy with Mrs. Yin and the others, so don't fool around with her in the future." She added, "Your third aunt is indeed going to the capital in the next two days. Your grandmother will also come with you. I will go to Tongzhou with your father and A Hong to pick up your grandmother and your third uncle. I will tell you two days in advance. You should also tell me."
