Pei Yan and Zhou Zijin left just like that. Hu Xing was stunned and stopped Pei Man who was about to go out to do something: "General Manager, do you usually talk to the Third Elder like this? Aren't you afraid that the Third Elder will lose his temper?"

Pei Man said: "The Third Elder hates others not to speak the truth, not to stop people from speaking. You will understand after you spend more time with the Third Elder."

Hu Xing thought, I entered the mansion at the age of seven, and I am already an elder in the family, so how much time can be said to have been spent with the Third Elder?

This is not nonsense.

But the reason why Hu Xing stood out among the servants in Pei Jiaman Mansion, in addition to being smart and ambitious, was that he was able to reflect on himself.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he still thought carefully several times about the expressions and attitudes of Pei Yan and Pei Man when they were talking just now, and suddenly he understood what Pei Man meant.

As for the Yu family, these few days can be said to be double happiness.

First, the marriage between Yu Yuan and Miss Xiang, although there were some twists and turns, but in the end, the engagement letter was formally exchanged, and the betrothal will be made after the Double Ninth Festival. Wang was a little scared when she thought of this incident, and she whispered to Chen in private: "I didn't expect Miss Xiang's stepmother to be so powerful. She said that this marriage had not been approved by her in advance, and she firmly disagreed. Fortunately, Mrs. Wei dared to be Miss Xiang's head of the family. She was not afraid of offending Miss Xiang's stepmother, so she brought up Miss Xiang's deceased mother and forced Miss Xiang's stepmother to retreat. I think Miss Xiang may not even have a place to go back to her parents' home in the future."

Chen thought Wang was worrying unnecessarily and said, "Miss Xiang is like this now. It's the same as not having a natal family. What's more, she grew up in Madam Wei's house and is closer to her cousins ​​than to her own brothers. It will be the same if she treats the Wei family as her real natal family. I think Madam Wei dares to go against Miss Xiang's stepmother. Is this what she is thinking? Otherwise, why would she make things so awkward in front of us?"

Wang thought about it and felt sorry for Miss Xiang. She said, "People say that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. I will just treat it as if I had given birth to another daughter and treat Miss Xiang well."

While the two were sympathizing with Miss Xiang, Mr. Xiang quietly found Yu Wen, gave him a small camphor wood box, and asked him to pass it on to Miss Xiang. He said that Mrs. Wei wanted Miss Xiang to marry into the Wei family, and Miss Xiang's stepmother had agreed. In the future, Miss Xiang might rarely go back to see him, her father. This was the last thing he, as a father, had to think of Miss Xiang, so he asked Miss Xiang to keep it and leave it to her children and grandchildren in the future.

Yu Wen felt that although Mr. Xiang married his current wife, he was too soft-hearted to do so, and he looked down on Mr. Xiang. Without thinking much, he handed the box to Yu Yuan. Yu Yuan thought that Mr. Xiang was sincere anyway, so in order to prevent Miss Xiang from thinking that her father was indifferent to her marriage, he sent it to the Wei family overnight.

Mrs. Wei had a dispute with the Xiang family over the dowry for Miss Xiang's marriage. She felt that Mrs. Xiang dared to bully Miss Xiang while Mr. Xiang was still alive. If Mr. Xiang was no longer around, the Xiang family would probably treat their daughter as if she didn't exist. So she wanted to ask the Xiang family for more dowry for Miss Xiang, which is why she quarreled with Mrs. Xiang. However, everyone wanted to keep their reputation, so neither Mrs. Wei nor Mrs. Xiang told anyone about it.

Seeing Yu Yuan bringing the gift over, Mrs. Wei was so angry that she threw the box to the ground and said, "Who wants him to be so hypocritical, saying that apart from Aying's mother's dowry and three thousand taels of silver, there is not a penny more..."

Before she finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

The box fell to the ground and broke open with a clang. A handful of banknotes were blown by the cold autumn night wind like flying paper butterflies.

"Hurry, hurry," it was still Old Master Wei who came to his senses first with a shudder, "Don't let the wind blow it away. These banknotes in the silver shop start at ten taels of silver, and I think the size is at least one hundred taels of silver..."

Mrs. Wei was also panicking, and hurriedly called out to Yu Yuan: "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pick up all these banknotes."

Yu Yuan was so terrified that he didn't know how he was invited to stay at the Xiang family's house, and how he rushed back to the Yu family just after the city gates opened. He only remembered that he stood in front of Wang and said to his father with a trembling face: "There are so many banknotes. Madam Wei said that there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 taels, which can empty the Pei family's silver shop on Changxing Street in Lin'an City. She also asked me, since the silver will not make much money if it is kept in the silver shop, and asked me if I should buy a few shops in Hangzhou City and move there to do business."

Wang and Yu Bo were also shocked. They woke Yu Wen and Chen from their sleep and asked Yu Wen what to do about this matter: "Does the mother-in-law want A Yuan to move to Hangzhou? Or does she just want to ask how to use all the money in our family?"

Yu Tang was woken up and was still a little dazed, but he came to his senses after hearing these words.

She thought hard about her past life.

I have never heard of the Wei family and Miss Xiang.

I don’t know who Miss Xiang married into in her previous life.

Her eldest cousin's marriage was like being hit by a golden egg.

Yu Wen was quite calm. He yawned and said to his brother who was fidgeting in front of him, "I vaguely heard that the Xiang family is rich. When the Shen family and the Xiang family were getting married, they didn't even mind that Mr. Xiang was the second wife because he was particularly good at business. I didn't expect it to be true. In my opinion, you should just do what you want. Don't you want to marry Miss Xiang without these 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver?"

After hearing what his brother said, Yu Bo gradually calmed down. He thought for a while and said, "You are right. We were tempted by the money and lost our composure. The dowry is originally the wife's private property. She can use it however she wants. I am just afraid that our A-yuan will suffer the loss."

Yu Wen asked Mrs. Chen to make him a cup of strong tea. After drinking a few sips, he regained his spirits. He then asked Mrs. Chen to make breakfast. Then he said, "Didn't the Wei family choose us because we treat our children well? We can't blame other families for being too rich just because we don't have as much money as them, right?"

"That's right, that's right." Yu Bo said.

"So everyone should keep a normal mind." Yu Wen had a rare chance to reason with his brother, and he said in a long-winded manner, "We are not after other people's money. We are not as good as others now, but can we be worse than them forever? When my daughter-in-law comes home in the future, we should still say what is bad about her, and praise what is good about her, just to be fair..."

While his father was speaking, Yu Tang kept looking at his eldest cousin.

Seeing that Yu Yuan's ears were red, she found an opportunity to quietly move to sit next to him and whispered to him: "You don't feel uncomfortable either, do you?"

Yu Yuan glanced at his parents who were talking to his uncle, and whispered, "A little bit. However, I think my uncle is right. It's their business if they have money. As long as we don't covet their money, we will naturally walk straight and sit upright." At this point, his tone paused, and hesitantly continued, "However, Mrs. Wei asked me to buy a shop in Hangzhou City, and I was really tempted at the time. No wonder I thought about it all the time and still had greedy thoughts."

This cannot be blamed on Yu Yuan, Yu Tang thought. Ever since she and her father and brother went to Hangzhou City last time, even she felt that Hangzhou City was a better place to do business, not to mention Yu Yuan who had wanted to expand his business and make the Yu family prosperous in both lives.

The family discussed the matter for nearly an hour, and when it was daybreak, they sat together to have breakfast again.

Before Yu Wen finished peeling a salted duck egg, Hu Xing, the third steward of the Pei family, came to visit. Yu Yuan was stunned, and the women of the Yu family hurriedly took a few dishes and went to the kitchen. Yu Wen invited Hu Xing to have breakfast.

"It has been used a long time ago." Hu Xing said with a smile, "I came here specially to tell you that Doctor Yang Yu will take the boat back to Suzhou soon, and he will come to check your wife's pulse before leaving. This happened suddenly, so I came here specially to tell you. I don't need breakfast, because I have to accompany Doctor Yang Yu later."

The Yu family was naturally overjoyed.

Yu Wen personally saw Hu Xing off and expressed his gratitude over and over again.

Hu Xing smiled and stopped them, saying, "This is what the Third Elder meant. In the future, whenever Dr. Yang Yu comes to Lin'an, he should come over to see your wife. If you have any words of gratitude, just tell the Third Elder and Dr. Yang Yu. I'm just an errand boy, you're really embarrassing me."

In the past, the people of the Pei family were also polite to the Yu family, but unlike now, they were polite with a bit of respect. The Yu brothers could naturally tell the difference. After sending Hu Xing away, Yu Wen couldn't help but ask Yu Bo: "What happened?"

Yu Bosi thought about it and still couldn't figure it out, so he could only say, "Dr. Yang Yu is here to treat your sister-in-law's illness. He will definitely be able to cure her completely. This is a good thing. We'll talk about the rest later."

Yu Wen scratched his head.

Yu Tang didn't know what Pei Yan meant, but thinking about it, this was a good thing after all. After all, they didn't have to worry about debts. Their family owed the Pei family a favor that they couldn't repay all at once, so they just had to remember it for now.

After Dr. Yang Yu came to examine Chen's pulse, he adjusted some prescriptions, reminded Yu Wen not to let Chen overwork or get angry, and then left.

The Yu family was overjoyed, thinking that Chen did not have an attack in the summer, and as long as Doctor Yang Yu continued to give Chen medicine, Chen would get better sooner or later. Yu Wen wanted to find some antique to give to Pei Yan.

Unfortunately, the Yu family only had this much wealth, and Yu Wen searched for several days but couldn't find anything suitable.

Yu Tang was at home wondering whether he should ask the Qu brothers from Banqiao Town to do something for him, just like he did in his previous life.

In her previous life, in order to tie her to the Li family, Lin publicized everywhere that she was determined to remain chaste to Li Jun when she entered the house carrying Li Jun's tablet. Even the Li family members said that whether the Li family could win a chastity archway depended entirely on her.

This was also the main reason why she later discovered that the Li family was a quagmire and it took her five or six years to get out of the Li family.

The deaths of her eldest uncle and eldest cousin made her think that her family's experience was related to the Li family. In order to verify, she often relied on the help of assistants in Lin'an City to do things, and she was also deceived many times. Because she was the widow of the Li family, she did not dare to come forward herself, and often had to rely on others to investigate the affairs of the Li family. Many people took her money and did not help her, so she did not have extra money to support her aunt.

The Qu brothers are considered to be the most trustworthy people among these gangs.
