Delicate Flower

Chapter 235: Recognized

Pei Tong's gaze is very sincere, and there is a slight sadness between her eyebrows, and when he thinks of what he said, most people will feel sympathy and become tolerant when seeing such a scene.

It's a pity that he didn't meet most people, but the Gu brothers and sisters.

Neither Gu Chang nor Gu Xi immediately comforted him emotionally. Gu Chang even asked aggressively: "If this is the case, why did you agree to go to Gu's school again? Is it because of what happened to Pei's family school in the past few years? "

The ethics of Pei's family is completely opposite to that of others. The clan of other people's family learns to accept some in-laws to study, and even actively or passively accepts some poor children for the sake of contacts, and sometimes subsidizes them to participate in the imperial examination. The Pei family’s ethics only accepts Pei’s children, which also makes others not familiar with Pei’s children. Some people don’t even know that Pei’s family has a ethics.

Gu Chang has always been curious about Pei's family studies and wanted to find a chance to have a look. He asked this partly because he doubted Pei Tong's words, and half wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about Pei's family studies and see if he could find it. An opportunity to visit Pei's family studies.

Who knows that Pei Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "I went to Gu's school to comfort my mother. You should have heard of it. My mother has been living with my father in the capital since her marriage, and my grandmother. She didn’t get along much. After her father went, she was unfamiliar in Lin'an. She lived a very lonely life, but she didn’t get along well. Moreover, she was not used to the climate and life in Lin'an. She was the first to live in Lin'an. This winter, I froze my hands. In addition, Pei’s family studies are now presided over by Yi Gong. Back then, my father had conflicts with Yi Gong because of the imperial examination... My mother always felt that I was not going well. She is a motherly mind, thinking about the future of Gu’s family...and also my Yue family. If I can move around with the Yue family more, like my father, and become friends with the Yue family’s uncles, life will definitely be happier than in Lin'an. I decided this on my own initiative. I couldn’t bear to make my mother sad, so I agreed. I never thought that such a misunderstanding would come again!"

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at her brother.

Gu Chang still said, "How could your father have a conflict with Yi Gong?"

If it is for the family's resources, the Pei family has a big business, let alone a scholar, after Pei You became an official, the Pei family will subsidize his chewing as before, how can there be conflicts?

This is why Gu Chang feels that Pei's family is an important in-law.

Everyone knows that the official salary is very small, which is not enough to support the family. Those officials who do not have family subsidies will easily go into bad ways.

Pei Tong thought for a while, and whispered: "Originally, this matter shouldn't be made by a junior of me, but since you ask, I am not afraid of you laughing. There is a family rule in our family, and Zongzi cannot be an official. Yes. So, like my great-grandfather and grandfather, all careers stopped at Juren. It’s not that they were incapable of continuing to take the exam, but because of such family rules. When my father was young, he was very knowledgeable, coupled with his youthful vigor and dissatisfaction. This clan rule, in order to prove oneself, had to participate in the imperial examination. Later, after being admitted to the Shuji Shi, he insisted on becoming an official. This made Yi Gong very dissatisfied. He once went to the capital to question my father. The two people had a very unpleasant quarrel, which coincided with my mother's presence... This is why my grandfather passed the position of the master of the family to my third uncle, and my mother and I both agreed."

Gu Chang, the family rule of the Pei family, had heard of it before, and now it has been confirmed by Pei Tong. He can’t help but feel a little emotional, saying: “It’s hard for someone else to have a scholar. Your father would rather give up the post of suzerain for his career. Guangfeng Jiyue, my role model."

Pei Tong smiled and said in a low voice, "You've been rewarded", but it can be seen from his manner that he is very proud of his father.

Because it turns out that Pei You is not wrong.

He has achieved the third rank.

He is the most outstanding child of the Pei family in the past three generations.

Gu Chang said: "Regarding your father's last words, no matter what, you should figure it out."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

"You should think again about going to Gu's school to study." Gu Chang had already forgiven Pei Tong at this time, so he naturally took care of him as his brother-in-law in his heart, and he was more upholding in his speech and behavior, said, " For a family like us, several generations and several houses have lived together, and there are some contradictions that are not enough for outsiders. I have only one sister, and she is only my brother. As for the others, do not come and go, go. If you don’t get together, you might not be as affectionate as your classmates who have been studying together since you were a child. You tell your in-laws wife so that she doesn’t have much hope."

Instead of relying on the Gu family, it is better to rely on the Yang family.

The Yang family's population is simple, and there are not so many messes.

Pei Tong was shocked when he heard the words, but he quickly reduced his expression, respectfully bowed to Gu Chang, thanked him, and promised: "I will tell my mother this matter clearly, third uncle. There, you don’t have to worry, I will explain to him personally. As for my study, I am also going to talk to Yi Gong. I believe Yi Gong’s mind will not embarrass me even if I am wrong. At this point, he raised his head to look at Gu Xi, and said apologetically: "It's just that I might be wronged by Miss Gu. I have to stay with me in Pei's mansion for a few more years, and I can't go back to my mother's house often."

What Gu Xi looked at was Pei Tong's thoughtfulness.

Hearing what he said, she suddenly felt a little grateful that Mrs. Pei liked to subsidize her family.

When she gets married, if she also subsidizes her natal family, Mrs. Pei is too tall and unhappy. Pei Tong must be accustomed to it and won't have any opinions. They will certainly not argue about this kind of thing.

Gu Xi smiled and said, "The son is worried too much", and his eyes turned to Gu Chang, with a vague meaning of pleading with Pei Tong.

Gu Chang didn't want to embarrass Pei Tong. If Gu Xi really married, he could only count on Pei Tong to protect her. He didn't want to offend others.

"Then I will leave first." He stood up and said goodbye, "Xia Guang is still waiting for me to say something!"

Although they were unmarried couples, they were not married after all, and Pei Tong did not stay a lot. He said "See you tomorrow" towards Gu Xi, and followed Gu Chang out of the yard where Gu Xi lives, and he was courteous and polite. To send Gu Chang to the discussion hall, he said, "I didn't expect you to come. If I knew that, I would prepare a drink for you to have a few drinks. I don't know when you will leave Lin'an? I can't catch the wind for you. I'll see you off! Otherwise, I'll find peace in my heart."

The tone of the speech was a bit of a youthful incomprehension.

Gu Chang suddenly understood why Gu Xi chose Pei Tong as her husband.

I would rather cultivate a person who fits my own temperament than myself tremblingly under Pei Yan's nose.

This is not his persistence and stubbornness.

Their siblings look alike!

Gu Chang laughed, his voice more gentle. He said to Pei Tong: "After the lecture, I will stay in Lin'an for a few days. I will definitely have a few drinks with you at that time. Just don't get drunk."

Pei Tong smiled embarrassedly.

Juvenile feeling is heavier.

Gu Chang asked about his studies.

Pei Tong answered seriously one by one, which aroused Gu Chang's curiosity. When Pei Tong sent him to the outside of the discussion hall, he was still reluctant to separate from Pei Tong and continued to test Pei Tong's knowledge.

Until Tao Qing came out of the discussion hall and saw that he and Pei Tong were still standing under the ginkgo tree outside the discussion hall and talked, he smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, Uncle Lang, we will talk tomorrow. Everyone in the house is waiting for you.” This interrupted Gu Chang's interest, said apologetically to Pei Tong, "Sorry", sent Pei Tong away, and entered the discussion hall with Tao Qing.

Pei Tong was standing under the courtyard gate with dripping water and heavy eaves, the bright moonlight shone, so that his figure was half in the moonlight and half in the shadow.

After a long while, he slowly left the courtyard of the conference hall.

In the discussion hall, Tao Qing and Pei Yan said Pei Tong: "The longer the child, the more handsome and handsome, and the longer and more like your family. Has his wedding date been set? You have to follow him in advance when he gets married. I said, I am coming to his wedding."

Pei Yan responded with a smile, looking like a good uncle.

Gu Chang couldn't help but glanced at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan smiled brilliantly, completely different from his usual coldness and arrogance. If he hadn't studied Pei Yan well, he would almost think that the Pei Yan in front of him was fake.

There was a little surprise in his heart.

Pei Tong got married, but he didn't get married by himself. Does he need to be so happily?

Gu Chang glanced at Pei Yan again.

Pei Yan not only smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, but also had a pleasant and easy-going look. He sat leaning on the big welcoming pillow. He did not seem to be compared with the heads of the various houses for the benefit of the banquet. On the contrary, he seemed to be playing with these heads. , Very happy.

Gu Chang couldn't think of any joy in this matter.

He frowned, but in the end he didn't find anything from Pei Yan's expression.

Pei Yan was in a very good mood, even if Gu Chang repeatedly looked at him rudely, he did not lose his temper.

He felt that Yu Tang was still a bit silly.

What he said is what he said.

He has to make good calculations about the Li family.

The first is that they can't keep their newly bought house in Hangzhou, and secondly, it is best to let Li's family house take care of them, so that others have nothing to say. In Shen Shanyan's place, he must stop helping Li Duan to do it. It is best to turn his head against each other. Otherwise, with Shen Shanyan's whiffy and crooked character, he will have to spend his energy to block the Li family. ...

He was thinking about it, so much so that when the master of Wu Da asked him if he was okay, he didn't know what the master of Wu said, so he had to vaguely say, "I have to carefully consider this matter. ", provoked Tao Qing's eye knife. When the master of Wu Da went to ask others, Tao Qing approached him and asked him, "Where is your soul? Master Wu said that the two hundred thousand taels of silver and their family are willing to share it, so You didn't agree to a good thing, did you have something to hold your body?" Then he knew what he had missed.

But he comforted himself in his heart. The people present here are all old foxes. You may not be able to do what you have promised. Even if you miss it, it doesn't matter. What matters is that they can get the money for real money. Even if he walks away now, he can't delay anything.
