"Then this is a token!"
"Yes, a token!" Pei Ji sighed softly.
Seeing that he was no longer in a hurry, Mu Qingyu seemed to have something to say, so she asked, "What's the story behind this token?"
Pei Ji seemed to be lost in memories and said slowly: "In my great-grandfather's generation, there were five direct brothers and three concubine brothers. The family was prosperous. However, there was a dispute over who should pass on the throne of the heir apparent!"
Mu Qingyu understands that the royal family competes for the crown prince position, and a noble family competes for the crown prince position!
The so-called respect between brothers and sisters is not unheard of, but obviously the brothers of my grandfather's great-grandfather's generation did not have this idea.
Pei Ji said: "My great-grandfather once saved the life of his concubine brother, so he has always had a good relationship with that concubine brother. With the help of that concubine brother, my great-grandfather became the heir apparent. Later he inherited the title. If the concubine brothers of the same generation do not have official positions,
They all have to go back to their hometown. The concubine didn't want to leave, and his great-grandfather also bought land for him in his hometown out of his kindness. He also gave him this ring and promised that if he encounters trouble in his hometown in the future, the master's family will help him.
, the descendant of the master’s family, the one who holds this thumb ring will be an honored guest!”
Mu Qingyu: "..."
Grandpa's great-grandfather was really a decisive person. Even though this concubine had helped him a lot and was unwilling to leave the capital, he still half followed his ancestors' instructions and half wanted to avoid future disputes and let everyone go back to their hometown.
p>
But grandpa's grandfather, because he cared about family ties, left behind concubine members. Those concubine members had grown up in the capital for two generations. Not to mention, they were all blood-sucking moths. When the master's family was in trouble, he added insult to injury, took away the family property and ran away, thinking that he was also the same.
Master, after the Pei family has recovered, they want to move in again and continue sucking blood.
Although they are father and son, their temperaments are completely different.
Now that the descendant of the Shu branch has come to Beijing with his ring finger, Pei Ji, as the head of the Pei family of this generation, cannot help but see him.
But Pei Ji hesitated.
Because his great-grandfather thought of his kindness, this concubine purchased land for him, gave him money and gifts, took care of everything, and encouraged him to participate in the imperial examination. If he hadn't won the imperial examination, he would have made no progress and wanted to return to Beijing.
It is not impossible to hold a position in the middle school.
Even so, his great-grandfather was a mighty prince at the time and used his connections to find a job for him in his hometown.
Although he failed to live up to expectations, his mission went wrong later, involving two lives. This was a serious dereliction of duty. According to the law, he should be escorted to Beijing for punishment, or even exiled three thousand miles away. It was also his great-grandfather who worked hard for it.
, in the end it was just a removal from office, and no imperial examinations were allowed within five generations!
He was still able to live a prosperous life in his hometown, but his great-grandfather not only lost money and connections, but also was exposed in front of the emperor by someone unknown, causing the Weiwu Marquis Mansion to be demoted from the first-class Marquis Mansion to the second-class Marquis Mansion.
p>
In fact, after this incident, the favor that his great-grandfather owed him has been paid off.
However, when he presented the ring as a gift, he did so in front of his grandfather, so his grandfather warned his father, and his father warned him!
His branch lived much better than other common branches in his hometown. They wore gold, silver, clothes and food. They were a prominent family in the local area, and he became the head of the family.
More than ten years ago, the Weiwu Marquis Mansion encountered great changes. Pei Wenlang and others transferred the gold and silver in the mansion and fled back to their hometown. As the leader of this tribe, it is impossible for him to be unaware of this.
But they neither sent anyone to ask if they needed help, nor even showed any ordinary care.
Now, with the help of Yu'er, the Pei family has recovered. Thanks to Yu'er's dowry, life has returned to life. At this time, the one came over with a ring finger, why did he come?
Thinking of this, Pei Ji turned his head and looked at Mu Qingyu, and said solemnly: "Yu'er, this Mighty Marquis Mansion belongs to you!"
Mu Qingyu said: "No, this Mighty Marquis Mansion belongs to my grandfather and uncle!"
Pei Ji shook his head and said: "If your uncle is still here, this Weiwu Hou Mansion belongs to him. If he is no longer here, this Hou Mansion belongs to you. This will never change! Now you are the head of Weiwu Hou Mansion, grandpa
No!"
Mu Qingyu was stunned.
Looking at Pei Ji's eyes, she understood, so she nodded and said: "Grandpa said yes, so I am for now! When everything passes, the head of the family will still be grandpa."
Pei Ji was very pleased. Yu'er was really smart. If she were a man, he would adopt her and become the direct grandson of the Pei family. But he shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. She was a woman, and Mu Mingyuan couldn't tolerate her. If she were a man,
Mu Mingyuan would never allow her to live to such an old age!
But what about women?
In the future, you can recruit a husband. With such a good child, Mu Mingyuan is a blind wolf. If he doesn't want it, the Pei family will cherish it.
Pei Ji went to the side hall.
At this time, in the side hall, Pei Song and others had already had tea. Because there were several children, Butler Zhou also served snacks. They were eating snacks and playing in the hall. The whole side hall was noisy.
.
Pei Ji walked to the door and looked at it with both eyes.
Pei Song is really not very familiar with Pei Ji.
Earlier, Pei Ji returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he, the clan leader, hosted him.
But nearly twenty years have passed. The gap between a handsome young man who came from a noble family and a distinguished temperament and a middle-aged and elderly man who has gone through years of hard work, is thin and vicissitudes of life, is more than a thousand miles apart?
Pei Song stood up and said: "Aji!"
Pei Ji said: "Uncle Clan!"
Now Pei Song is the third generation of the original Shu branch, and Pei Ji is the fourth generation, so he can only be called the clan uncle.
Pei Song was wearing a brocade robe made of Jinyunhuatuan, and the robe was still made of gold and silver threads. Pei Ji was wearing an ordinary silk brocade robe. Looking at it this way, Pei Song looked more wealthy.
Even Pei Song's three sons were all dressed luxuriously.
Pei Song then said to his children and grandchildren: "What are you still doing? Why haven't you come to see them?"
Pei Zeyi and three others came to call: "A Ji!" These three people are all younger than Pei Ji. Although they are peers, the word "A Ji" sounds very smooth, as if they are brothers.
Pei Junxian’s generation also calls them uncle.
The three children, the eldest is seven years old and the youngest is only five years old, are taught to call them Grandfather.
This family is lively and lively, but there is no female dependents.
After Pei Ji asked Pei Song to sit down, he sat down on the main seat and said, "Uncle Clan, you took your brothers and nephews all the way from Liangzhou to the capital. It was a long distance and you suffered a lot on the way, right?"
Pei Song sighed and said, "Well, this journey has been really tiring. Fortunately, I have entered Beijing now. When I see Ah Ji, I have made up my mind!"
After chatting for a while, Pei Ji said: "Since the clan uncle has come to the capital, he is a distinguished guest in the mansion. I will introduce the clan master to the clan master and ask the clan master to arrange a place for everyone!"
Pei Song was startled and said: "Aji, aren't you the head of the family?"
Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, it was. But more than ten years ago..."
After hearing the words "more than ten years ago", the faces of Pei Song and others changed a little.
