After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 622
Pei Song pretended not to know what happened in the mighty Marquis Mansion more than ten years ago.

He clearly knew what good things Pei Wenlang and his brothers had done, and even how rich they were when they returned to Liangzhou, but because these brothers gave him benefits, not only did Pei Song not care, he even said nothing. Nothing fair has been said.

Now, Pei Ji mentioned that it was more than ten years ago, did he have a deep meaning?
Pei Song hurriedly said: "What happened back then was really caused by the thief surnamed Mu who deceived people too much. When I heard about this in my hometown, I was also filled with indignation..."

He spoke in a very sad, indignant and distressed way, as if he was powerless when he learned about it, so he couldn't sleep day and night.

Pei Ji was surprised: "The clan uncle was in his hometown back then, how did he know about the affairs in the capital? The clan uncle has good ears and eyes!"

Pei Song: "..."

What Pei Ji meant was that since he knew about the capital, why didn't he help?

He immediately said again: "I only hate a commoner, and I can't compete with the methods of the third-rank officials in the court..."

Pei Ji let out a sigh in his heart, and didn't expose it, but just sighed: "Uncle Clan is right, don't say that you are all in white clothes, even I, after all, are nobles, the direct line of the mighty Marquis Mansion, although not Inheriting the title and holding a few official positions, he still can't deal with the thief surnamed Mu, let alone the clan uncle?"

Hearing what he said, Pei Song felt relieved, nodded repeatedly, and showed guilt: "That's right, we have been worried about you these years. Fortunately, I saw you today, and you are in good spirits. It seems that the surname thief doesn’t dare to harm you anymore!”

Pei Ji shook his head and said, "Uncle Clan is wrong. First, I have not lived well these years. I am disabled and old. I have no money and no one. Afterwards, the dude came to my house to have fun, let me crawl on the ground like a dog, let me eat mud..."

As he slowly said each word, Pei Song's face turned green and white, but Pei Zeyi and the other three showed contempt in their eyes. Living like this alone, it's better to die!
Pei Ji also said that he was a descendant of the direct branch, and he lived such a lingering life.

Pei Junxian and other nephews, like their fathers, looked at Pei Ji, imagining him being stuffed in mud and crawling like a dog, and even couldn't help laughing.

Pei Song hurriedly said: "Aji is suffering! Fortunately, Aji has survived, and now the situation of the mighty Marquis Mansion is not bad. Along the way, it seems that the yard has been refurbished and the lawn has been tidied up! The servants also It's very well-mannered, it's the home of Zhongming Dingshi!" This building is a heavy building, although it is an old building, it is tidy and clean.

However, he also knew that what Pei Ji said was true.

What kind of scene was the mighty Marquis Mansion back then? After Pei Wenlang swept away the gold and silver, the mighty Marquis Mansion was still suppressed by the Mu Mansion.I heard people who came back from the capital say that even the outer wall of the mighty Marquis Mansion has collapsed, and anyone can go in and step on it.

Someone who was daring once saw a group of teenagers in brocade clothes bullying an old man with disabled legs inside.They yelled at the old man like a dog, stomped on his shoulders and face, stuffed lumps of smelly, dirty mud into his mouth, smeared his face, and then they laughed.

At that time, what was Pei Song's mood after hearing about it in his hometown?

Looking back now, their mood at that time was: Pei Ji caused trouble for himself and his son for a girl's film.Isn't this originally a son-in-law?How did it end up being a life and death feud?
After all, it was Pei Ji who didn't know how to be a human being, and a girl died as soon as she died.The other party is a high-ranking third-rank official in the court, with a bright future.With such a relative, even if the Mighty Marquis Mansion can't continue to claim the title, at least it can maintain its wealth and glory.

It is not certain that a third-rank senior official with a promising future can speak well in front of the emperor after being promoted, and it is not impossible for the children of the Pei family to win the title with a few good words.

This is a very good day, but it is extremely stupid to go against the other party and disturb the family.

Think about the teachings of the ancestors, to drive all those who were born in the family to their hometowns, saying to prevent the family from being indiscriminate and causing chaos.

But now let's see who has cholera in the family?

They were in their hometown, listening to the story of Pei Ji's poverty, while living their own affluent life.I completely forgot that even though the successive patriarchs of the Pei family sent the children of the concubine back to their hometown, they never treated them badly. When they were sent back, didn't they give a lot of money?They also tried their best to find official positions for them. If they had children from the concubine branch and wanted to take the imperial examination, they would do their best to help them.

It is those sons of the concubine who have committed crimes, and the master has never turned down anyone who can make a fortune.

But in their hearts, they only hated the humiliation of not being able to stay in the capital and being sent back to their hometown.

Of course, Pei Song would not say these things.

Pei Ji continued: "Secondly, the Mu family has never stopped suppressing the Pei family these years. But because the Pei family only has me as a useless old bone, and Mu Mingyuan has become a first-rank member of the court, I feel Bullying me again would be degrading, so it calmed down a bit. But the Pei family is gone, and there is no way to continue, this is also a fact!"

He added: "Thirdly, the reason why my uncle thinks that I am in good spirits is because the Pei family has a new head. I am with the new head, and I am taken care of by her. I have a bite to eat. That's why the Pei family is like this." scene!"

Pei Song's heart skipped a beat when he heard him say the words "new patriarch" repeatedly.

He knew that Pei Wenlang and his group had come to the capital a few days ago. Could it be that after this period of time, Pei Wenlang and the others really took over the Pei family?Which one of his brothers is the new owner?
Pei Song felt a little regretful.

They had already heard the news that the Pei family was going well, but they had to wait and see at that time, so they stayed put.

Pei Wenlang and his brothers were too impatient to wait, and he once scoffed at them, but now it seems that he made a mistake.

His voice was a little rough, and he asked reluctantly: "I heard that Wen Lang and the others had a good time in the capital, why don't you see them?"

Pei Ji said: "They are indeed living a good life, eating and drinking, enjoying the joy and happiness that they have never enjoyed before!"

really!

Pei Song thought to himself: Pei Wenlang and the brothers are really wolf-hearted.I think they fled back to their hometown with the gold and silver belongings from the mighty Marquis Mansion back then. Because they went back in a hurry, they didn’t even have a place to stay at the beginning. I kindly accepted them, and I also helped them make land and buy slaves. It's a good thing to take care of.

Now that they have a good life, they don't even send any news back.

That's not right, I still went back with a few broken limbs.It is said that he met bandits on the road and his hands and feet were cut off.

Now their big family has already arrived at the Weiwuhou Mansion, and they don't know to come out to greet them.This is the new owner, so they don't take them seriously.

Pei Song tentatively said: "Ah Ji, how can you say that you are also a direct branch of the Pei family, even if there is a new head of the family, you should be able to speak up?"

This means, he should still be the home of the Pei family, right?

Pei Ji shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Clan doesn't know something. I was almost starved to death in the situation of Pei's family back then! I am so grateful to have a bite to eat. I don't want to take care of other things, and I can't take care of them." You must be content to be a human being, Uncle Clan, right?"

"Cough cough, yes, yes!" Pei Song responded, and then said, "Then, can A Ji inform us that we can meet Wen Lang and the others?"

The corners of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched as he listened, asking the Patriarch to inform the slaves?

Oh, yes, people like Pei Wenlang are not considered house slaves, not even house slaves!
Pei Ji had a gentle attitude and a very good temper. He said to Zhou Chen: "Go and ask the Patriarch to show you!"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes!"

When he said that, Pei Song even thought that Pei Wenlang had become the new head of the Pei family, and he felt a little regretful. He came too late, and he couldn't even eat shit as hot as him.

Pei Ji is no longer the head of the family, so what's the use of giving Pei Ji his jade finger?

No, the great-grandfather of the Pei family who pointed the finger at grandpa was also the great-grandfather of Pei Wenlang, so Pei Wenlang would definitely listen!
Thinking of this, Pei Song said: "Ah Ji, do you think you should return the finger to me?"

Pei Ji was startled, and said, "Huh?"

Pei Song said with a little embarrassment: "Look, you are not the head of the family anymore, this finger is for the head of the family to see!"

Pei Ji said meaningfully: "If this finger is given to me, I will naturally remember what my great-grandfather said, but the Patriarch may not recognize it!"

Pei Song said: "They are all descendants of the Pei family, how could they deny it?"

Pei Ji said again: "If the clan uncle takes back the wrench, then the wrench has nothing to do with me. The clan master's affairs can be decided by the Patriarch!"

"Naturally!" Pei Ji still had some confidence in Pei Wenlang and the others.

Anyway, he also gave Pei Wenlang benefits back then, and the Pei brothers wouldn't even give them some face.

Thinking about Pei Song's branch, who has always been the patriarch in his hometown and has a prosperous population. If it hadn't happened suddenly, would they have rushed to the capital with their family?
Thinking of that incident made Pei Song tremble with fear.

The Pei family is rich, and as the head of the Pei family, he has a detached position in the local area.

Wang'an Mansion, Zhupu County, Liangzhou, even the masters of Futai will give him three points of face.

In the past, the main families of the first direct branches of the Pei family treated the commoner branches very generously.

The Pei family members enjoy a large amount of silver from the master's family every year.Those of the master's family who did not inherit the title all did this. They felt that the Pei family's concubine was also the Pei family. They were in the capital, so they should have helped a lot, and they couldn't write two words of Pei in one stroke.

Of course, those silver taels were sent to the patriarch, and the patriarch distributed them to the various branches of the common line.

Pei Song's grandfather was supported by the mighty Marquis of that generation. He first became an official, and then became the new patriarch after losing his official position. The original patriarch had nothing to say.

The common branch always regards the wishes of the main branch as its will. Of course, the main supporter can only abdicate the person who supports the virtuous.

However, since Grandpa Pei Song became the patriarch, many other minor branches never enjoyed the benefits of the main branch.

The former patriarch thought it was wrong, and the main branch suddenly cut off the silver support for the common branch?
But Grandpa Pei Song said, because the Pei family's concubine had never provided any help to the main family, and instead only knew to absorb benefits like a vampire, that's why Hou Ye replaced him as the patriarch, and cut off the previous silver support .

The former patriarch thought the same thing. They are the common people, they are in their hometown, and they can't help the main branch if they want to. Besides, the main branch is Lord Hou. They are just ordinary people, so there is no need for their help.

Without the financial support, it's just that the poor children of the common branch have problems studying. Fortunately, because of the previous support, the ethnology has been established, and the children will not become illiterate and blind.

After the former patriarch believed it to be true, he also conveyed these words of Grandpa Pei Song to the original Shu branch.But how did he know that the main branch has never cut off support, but it was all obtained by Grandpa Pei Song, and only those who are very close and know the inside story can share some.

Later it became a custom.

Even if Pei Ji did not inherit the title, he still followed the style of his ancestors. At that time, Pei Yi was not married, and the Pei family gave 3 to [-] taels of silver to the common branch every year.

This money also fell into the hands of the patriarch Pei Song, how much Pei Song wants to share, is it up to him?Anyway, the people from Patriarch Pei's family will not check whether the money has been settled, and besides, what is the real point?

Those shackles are close or distant, and 3 taels of silver sounds like a lot, but if it is really going to be distributed, how many taels will each family get?

Therefore, the patriarchs of the Pei family have always been close to their own family. Those who are close will get some benefits, while those who are distant or honest will never enjoy the benefits from the master's family in their entire lives.Didn't even know there was such a thing!

For a long time, the sons and nephews of the head of the Pei family have all been extremely rich.Not only that, but they also spend money like running water!
Although Pei's family suffered disaster more than ten years ago, and there is no such a large amount of support money anymore, with the savings of several generations, he is one of the richest households in the entire Wang'an Mansion.

And after Pei Wenlang and his group went back, it is said that this act of defrauding the main branch and escaping was also to cut off the wealth of Pei Song's family.The reason why he could still get his help was because the benefits that Pei Wenlang and his brothers gave Pei Song made him feel more affordable than the annual 3 to [-] taels of silver.

After all, silver has a price, but antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry and jade are priceless!

Six months ago, his beloved son, Pei Zekai, had trouble with money.

The most famous brothel in the area bought a beautiful woman, and grandly auctioned off the woman's first reception.

Pei Zekai had seen that woman before, and with just one glance, he felt that her bones were weak and her legs were weak, so she was bound to win.He was rich and powerful, and called for 1 taels of silver.

But he didn't expect that there was someone asking him for a price. It was a man who looked like a thin and frail scholar.

In the end, it was bought by the frail man at a price of [-] taels.

Of course Pei Zekai has money, but he has four brothers, and he is the youngest son. Although he is loved and valued by his father, he can withdraw 5000 taels from the account at a time.

This number can make countless people in Wang'an Mansion live for a lifetime, but in the hands of someone like him, it is nothing.

How dare you snatch a woman from him?

Think you have money, don't you?
Since he doesn't know how to live or die, he is not polite.

That night, Pei Zekai led people into the brothel, snatched the woman, and beat the frail man to death.
