Pei Yu, Pei Xun, Pei Wang and Pei Yuan came to the front of the mansion, and the servants outside the door hurriedly saluted.

"I will report to you immediately. Please wait a moment..."

The oldest Pei Yu waved to his servants.

"Go quickly, we know that Brother Chang Hao is back, so we will come and have a look."

In just one or two minutes, the mansion door opened, Pei Changhao came out of the mansion door and bowed to everyone.

"I have met my cousins, thank you for coming here for visiting me."

Pei Yu looked at everyone and clasped his fists at Pei Changhao.

"I haven't seen my younger brother Chang Hao in the past year. I just heard that my younger brother Chang Hao was coming home, so we all come and have a look."

Among the four, Pei Yu and Pei Xun are Pei Hong's own sons, Pei Wang is the legitimate son of the patriarch Pei Tao, and Pei Yuan is the legitimate son of Pei Yang. Pei Yang is the elder brother of Pei Changhao's father Pei Che, so in terms of blood relationship, Pei Changhao is the closest to Pei Yuan.

The Pei family has very strict requirements for their children, especially in terms of etiquette. It is important to pay attention to Pei Changhao as an alternative. When he was in Peijiazhuang, he often had disputes with his brothers. However, because he was the youngest, many cousins ​​did not care much about it, but people gradually came less, and their relationship with Pei Changhao was almost broken.

Pei Changhao suffered a disaster and was forced to leave Peijiazhuang and flee. It took almost a year to return home. No matter what the point is, everyone wants to come and have a look and greeting.

When walking towards the mansion, Pei Yu was in the front, Pei Xun and Pei Yan were side by side, and Pei Yuan was next to Pei Changhao.

There were not many servants in the mansion, and they were all a little busy because they had to prepare for the next day's banquet.

Pei Yu turned his head and spoke to Pei Changhao.

"Brother Chang Hao, there are not many servants in the mansion. After you have left home for nearly a year, some servants have left. We all know that if there is a shortage of people in the mansion, let's find a way."

Pei Changhao smiled and spoke quickly.

"Thank you for your concern. I have arranged this matter. The mansion is not enough, but fortunately it can be maintained. The people who left the mansion in the past also did not make good arrangements. So if they were willing to come back, they would come to the mansion to do things..."

Pei Yu shook his head slightly.

"Brother Chang Hao, this servant who has left the mansion, should not let them come back. The wind can tell the strong grass, and it will be seen over time. Since they cannot share the hardships with Brother Chang Hao, they will not be qualified to stay in the mansion."

Pei Xun and Pei Yan both nodded, while Pei Yuan looked at Pei Changhao with a slightly worried expression on his face.

Pei Changhao looked at Pei Yu and nodded.

"What my cousin said is that I will seriously consider this matter. I made this decision and felt that it was not easy for people in the mansion. I always wanted to live a life and were afraid of causing trouble. If I had too high requirements for them, outsiders would think I was too harsh, but I didn't think of anything else. I would like to thank my cousin for their reminder."

In fact, when Pei Yu said those words, he had already seen Pei Yuan's expression and felt a little regretful. If he had just arrived at the mansion, it would be too boring if he had a verbal dispute with Pei Changhao.

Pei Changhao's answer made Pei Yu a little stunned, and surprised Pei Xun and Pei Yan.

The expression on Pei Yuan's face was obviously relieved.

The group entered the lobby.

Pei Changhao waited until everyone sat down before he sat down.

The butler had already arrived at the lobby with a teacup.

"But, please give me some instructions to arrange a banquet in the wing room, and I will drink with you cousins ​​later."

After the housekeeper served tea, he nodded and agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements, while Pei Changhao clasped his fists at everyone.

"My cousins, I made the decision to make arrangements. It is rare to have such an opportunity. I will definitely enjoy my meal in the mansion in the afternoon. When I was in the manor, I was a little confused and did a lot of mistakes. Thanks to my cousins' care, I don't know anything about me. This time, I have been away from home for nearly a year, and my family has been taken care of by my cousins. After I came back, I felt ashamed of thinking about these things. I will toast and apologize to you and thank you for your love for me."

Pei Yu, Pei Xun, Pei Rong and Pei Yuan were all a little stunned.

Pei Yu is already in his thirties and has been contradicted by Pei Changhao several times. Fortunately, he is well-educated and does not know the same knowledge as Pei Changhao, but sometimes he will argue that Pei Changhao is not aware of the truth.

When Pei Yu just saw Pei Changhao at the door, he felt a little strange. Pei Changhao's temperament was completely different. He had a mature and round temperament, and he didn't have the feeling of being bull-headed or thorny.

Pei Yu felt this way, Pei Xun, Pei Wang and Pei Yuan also felt this way.

"Brother Chang Hao, we naturally have to follow your arrangements. We have been away from home for so long, so don't think about the past. If there are any difficulties at home, we will do our best to help you even if you speak."

Pei Yu had just finished speaking, and Pei Xun spoke up.

"Yes, brother Chang Hao, if you have any difficulties, you must say that they are all their own brothers, so don't be polite."

Pei Yan and Pei Yuan nodded in praise and did not speak.

The scene in front of him made Pei Changhao feel strange. He felt the concern of Pei Yu and others, which was quite real, but there was always something missing here, which gave people the feeling that it was too official and ritualized, and lacked strong family affection.

Perhaps this is the etiquette that aristocratic families must possess.

Etiquette must not be missed, but etiquette should not be too important at home, otherwise the home cannot be called home.

However, this is something that Pei Changhao cannot change. Not only can he not change it, but he also needs to adapt quickly.

After nodding again, Pei Changhao stood up and clasped his fists at Pei Yu and others.

"When I just went to pay homage to the patriarch, I said, "It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, and I'm worried about going out for a day. After I got home, I felt at ease. I have recorded the concerns of my cousins. If there are really any difficulties at home, I will definitely trouble you cousins."

Pei Yu and others smiled.

"Okay, that's great. We can feel relieved if Brother Chang Hao thinks this way. We have discussed and are preparing to go to Beijing in March next year to take the Jinshi exam. Brother Chang Hao has been away from home for almost a year. When he is traveling outside, he is afraid that it will be difficult to have time to review his homework. After returning home, he will be able to calm down and concentrate on reviewing his homework. Calculate the time. There is still about half a year. If Brother Chang Hao wants to go to Beijing to take the Jinshi exam, we will report to the patriarch and will definitely win the opportunity for Brother Chang Hao..."

Pei Yu's words surprised Pei Changhao. You must know that he is the son of a criminal minister in the court. Logically speaking, it would be good not to be chased by the court, and he would not be qualified to take the imperial examination. Even if the Pei family is a prominent family, they would not have such great face and would be able to bow their heads to the emperor and the court.

Could it be that Pei Yu and others don’t understand this truth?

Maybe Pei Yu and others were concerned about him, Pei Changhao, or maybe Pei Yu and others were too overestimated by the Pei family.

Pei Changhao shook his head.

"I have been traveling outside for nearly a year and have almost no time to read or review my homework. Besides, my homework book cannot be compared with my cousins, so I will not take the Jinshi exam next year. I wish you all the cousins ​​the Golden List and high school Jinshi here."

Pei Yu waved to Pei Changhao.

"Thank you for your blessings from your younger brother Chang Hao, but this Jinshi exam is not that easy to go to high school. There is still about half a year before the Jinshi exam in May. Next, we have to review our homework seriously. Although my younger brother Chang Hao does not plan to take next year's Jinshi exam, he cannot leave his homework. After a while, he will come to review his homework with us."

Pei Changhao was speechless. He did not object to study and the imperial examination, but it also depends on when the world was in chaos. The Tang Dynasty was about to fall. Zhu Wen, Li Keyong and others who were about to take control of the power did not play according to common sense and did not care about scholars at all. Therefore, the road to the imperial examination was already dead end at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Pei Changhao could not directly refuse Pei Yu's request, but he could not agree to it, because he had too many things to do and had no time to review his homework with Pei Yu and others.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Changhao spoke.

"My homework is too poor. If I take the Jinshi exam, I have no hope. I have already planned to take the martial arts exam. If I can get the martial arts exam, I can enter the army. In the future, my cousins ​​will be able to plan in the court, so I will work hard to kill the enemy in the army."

Pei Yu pointed at Pei Changhao and smiled helplessly. In fact, he also heard from the patriarch that if Pei Changhao took the martial arts exam, he might have hope for high school. As for the Jinshi class, there is basically no hope.

"Brother Chang Hao, it's okay if you want to take the martial arts exam, but it's very hard to practice martial arts, so you have to persevere."

...

The banquet in the wing room is ready.

When he walked towards the wing room, Pei Changhao was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. Everything has its pros and cons, and perfection does not exist. As a child of the Pei family, he already has wealth and the capital to make a comeback, which is equivalent to standing at a very high starting point. As for the unaccommodating etiquette of the big family, it only takes some time to adapt. When he has enough strength in the future and can affect the Pei family, he will coordinate family affection and etiquette.

Pei Changhao has no intention of introducing Luo Wenhua and others for the time being. This is also a rule. To tomorrow, we will first introduce Luo Wenhua and others to the elders of the family, and then let Pei Yu and others know each other.
