Chapter 434 As you like, really shrewd

The ancestral hall of the Duke of Zhenguo opened quickly, and on the third day after the birthday banquet, the old princess got the letter.

Of course, this is also because the third master is anxious - the brothers have lived under the same roof for most of their lives, and they still know their temperaments. No matter how arrogant the third master is, he also understands that he has suffered losses on the word "commoner", and with those unity, he is weak. Although the year is strong, he is a woman. The family is not even qualified to speak in the ancestral hall. Although they have three sons, they can't compare with dozens of people in the other three rooms.

Enyibofu is far away in Shuozhou. This time, he came to Kyoto to celebrate his birthday. He took advantage of the opportunity to quarrel with the Duke of Zhen before they left. With the help of the Nian family, he was almost sure.

The reason why the third master did not pay attention to the king's mansion is also to look at the indifference and alienation of the Duke of Zhen over the years, thinking that they would not intervene this time. The old princess has a noble identity in vain, clumsy and easy to fool, which is not a problem.

Unexpectedly, he forced the Duke of Zhen to set a date. The third master immediately took people to the garden outside the city to tell his benefactor, but he didn't expect that his uncle was seriously ill. On the day after the birthday banquet, his uncle rushed back to Shuozhou.

Of course, there is no suspense about the victory or defeat of the Xie family.

Although the second master and the fourth master think that it is inevitable to separate, the houses are scattered, and there are more and more people. Over the years, it is gradually inconvenient to live in one place, but they are unwilling to divide the production. The fourth master got a house in the inner city, not far from the Duke's mansion, moved out to live in another house, and only the use of food and clothing is still paid by the government on a monthly basis, and the farmland shop. It is also managed by the long house. The second uncle is the eldest son and temporarily lives in the Duke of the Town.

The three brothers discussed the idea of separate the third master's family from another residence, but they were unwilling to divide the property.

The third uncle was unwilling, and the roof of the ancestral hall was almost exposed by his indignant complaint.

As soon as the third lady saw that the situation was not good, she was about to splash. She was scolded by two old clans. The third lady was contradicted to her face. As a result, she was crossed out by several strong servants. Therefore, outside the ancestral hall, there was a hammer on her chest and howling. The Nian family even made people on the ancient banyan tree in the yard. He knotted a white silk buckle, stepped on the stool to hang himself on the southeast branch, and planted a charge of forcing his brother-in-law to die on the head of Xie's brother.

The Duke of Zhen had to retreat and first made a contract to agree on the property of each house. The second master and the fourth master are still willing to be coordinated by the long house and wait for the Duke of Zhen to fulfill today's contract after a hundred years.

When the third master saw his wife's nonsense and pull back a city, his confidence soared. Sure enough, the lion opened his mouth and voluntarily "give up" the house of the Duke's Mansion, but he asked for a quarter of the total land property in the suburbs of Beijing, the outer city and the inner city. As for the commercial property left by his ancestors, he also had to account for a quarter, and proposed that From the first year of Yuanqing, the new shops added to the Guogong Mansion are all due to his three rooms, which should be attributed to the three rooms.

The old princess present was so angry that she couldn't speak, but the second master put a phlegm on the third master's face. The old man of the two clan also blew their beards and stared at him, denounced the third master for being whimsm and greed.

Each argued for half a day, and finally came to an end.

The Duke of Zhen is the eldest son. Of course, he has an absolute advantage. The government has inherited it. The two houses in the inner city are divided into two rooms and four rooms, and one in the outer city is given three rooms. As for the silver in the public, it is divided into four, and each room is average. However, because the two and four rooms are still unwilling to divide the property, only a quarter is divided into three rooms.

In a set of accounts, the total amount of money deposited in the public is only 20,000, so the three rooms are only 5,000. Although it is also a lot of money in the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed impossible to bear a marriage in aristocratic family.

As for the land, the Duke of Zhen first accounted for half, the rest of the two rooms accounted for another half, and the rest was divided into three parts, and three and four rooms each accounted for one-third.

The clan fields, Lutian and sacrificial fields cannot be divided and are inherited by the Duke of Zhen.

Next, we came to the most profitable commercial property. Shops everywhere still adhered to the rules of the distribution of farmland, and the three houses finally fell into their hands, less than ten.

The third master is not convinced, but what they say over and over again is nothing more than that their three wives have been conscientious and hard-working over the years. After all, the Duke of Zhen is the patriarch, and promised that they will still make a big head of clan affairs such as the repair of ancestral halls and the opening of ethnic studies in the future. Since each branch can benefit, it is No one is on the side of the third master.

Besides, a concubine should have been respected by the eldest son. If it were in the previous Ming Dynasty, the concubine would have no inheritance right.

Xie Jin, the old prince, was alive and did not leave a will on how to divide the property. He just told the Duke of Zhen not to separate families.

Who made the third master want to make a fuss? He took the initiative to take the lead in violating his father's order. This is unfilial. Even if the Duke of Zhen doesn't pay for it, it is reasonable to let the three houses leave.

The third room was noisy for a long time, and the third master roared with smoke. The third lady cried and fainted several times. In the end, she failed to take advantage of it.

The old princess happily returned to the royal palace and told the story of the day to everyone vividly. The beautiful scenery kept smiling. Xiao Xie's face was like a bitter gourd knotted on the fence.

Only Yijing's front foot returned to Guan Suiyuan, and Mother Zhu followed him. Without saying anything, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed her head and begged for help. She must not let her children and two families follow the third room. She hoped that Yijing could "buy" it in her hand. In the future, she will definitely repay the kindness of the concubine.

Binjing stroked the clock and looked at the dark tea leaves stretched under the golden red soup noodles. After crying for a long time, she slowly said, "M Mother should beg your grandmother, not begging me."

There was a sudden silence in the flower hall.

"Mama's children are slaves of the Duke of Zhen. How can I force her to ask for someone from the Xie family? If she really does this, won't the second aunt know what she is thinking? How can she tolerate you? Mrs. Xie is now in charge of the middle gift of the Duke of Zhen. The servant should leave it alone to speak. She has always respected her grandmother, Ruozu. Mother opened her mouth, and Mrs. Xie will definitely agree to the matter of raising her hand. The scenery is kind-hearted.

Mother wished her to be enlightened and respectfully thanked the scenery. Sure enough, she begged the old princess, wiped her tears, and told her about the pain of separating the two mansions with her children. At present, the Duke of Zhen has separated the family, and the third wife and the Duke of Zhen have quarreled with the Duke of Zhen. If the children go out with the third uncle, it will be difficult in the future. See you.

When Xiao Xie knew about it, he had seen Mother Zhu's children kowtowing in front of the old princess to thank him.

Naturally, he was angry and secretly complained that he was confused by the third master's scene. He didn't care about Mother Zhu's mother's case, but she took advantage of the time and actually asked for the hostages from the Duke of Zhen. She gritted his teeth more and more with hatred for his brother and sister-in-law. In such a big thing, he didn't know how to discuss himself first. He didn't want to plan at all. The matter was hidden from everyone. Only the Duke of Zhen and the third eunuch knew that Mrs. Duke of Zhen had passed away. In order to control Mother Zhu, Xiao Xie persuaded her eldest sister-in-law to transfer her children to serve in the third room, but did not say it carefully. She only said that it was what Mother Zhu wanted. Mrs. Xie did not know the "important" of Zhu's children from her mother-in-law. At this time, more Throwing this matter out of Jiuxiaoyun, as soon as the old princess opened her mouth, Mrs. Xie only thought it was a small matter, how could she think so deeply?

Xiao Xie was afraid of Yu Dong's scolding, and in front of him, he put all the responsibility on his brother and sister-in-law.

but still didn't escape a scolding.

"I think you have a pig brain. Your brother and sister-in-law don't know how to please her, but she has been offended everywhere. I heard that you went to look for Zhi Niang again yesterday, didn't you? I think Zhi Niang is cautious and obedient, and she is not frivolous at all. After all, she is your uncle's daughter, your own niece. It's okay if you don't take care of her. It's really stupid to make trouble if you have nothing to do!"

Little Xie has never been scolded like this. She was stunned and fell on the kang with her face and cried bitterly: "I'm not for Zhou'er. Thinking that Zhou'er's marriage is bumpy because of that bitch, I can't wait to skin her! The second master didn't know my pains... Over the years, I have worked hard for you and for our family..."

Yu Dong was annoyed by her crying and suppressed his anger and comforted him: "I'm also upset. My uncle acted impulsively this time. It's just a small matter of money. I've endured it for so many years, but at this time, he quarreled with the Duke's mansion. It's not that he suffered losses and doesn't think about me at all... Because of this, we can't be with my uncle. Brother's birth."

Little Xie listened to Yu Dong's tone and calm down, then choked and closed her tears. She leaned softly in Yu Dong's arms. Because of the angle problem, she did not find that Second Master Yu's face was full of impatience. After such a period of "enjoyment" for a while, when the anger in her heart subsided, she said carelessly: "Brother and my mother will not For these, I really gave birth. In the past, at home, he always let me go... Even if because of this incident, my sister-in-law had a grudge in her heart, and it didn't matter. The brother was originally not lukewarm to her, and he really spoiled her. It's still those aunts... The second master is at ease. What's the situation of the government? In his heart I don't know that this time I had a quarrel with my third uncle and lost the help of the Nian family. In the future, I can only rely on the king's mansion of Chu. Uncle and Yu Yan ignore the affairs of the Xie family and have to rely on us.

Speaking of Mother Zhu, Xiao Xie brushed her teeth repeatedly: "Old fox, even if she took advantage of the loophole this time, but the second master didn't worry. She still held the handle in my hand. Jing was out of her. That medicine was her hand. Besides, even if she got her children back, it didn't fall into my hands. She will fight for it in the future. It's not up to me to sell it, and she doesn't dare to disobey me.

Yu Dong has now temporarily given up the idea of poisoning people. He no longer pays attention to the servant and cares about Yuzhou's marriage - the wedding date has been agreed. In late November, due to the rush of time, he is busy preparing the bride price.

"Don't worry, I've been optimistic about the materials, jewelry and other things, and the gift money has also discussed the old princess. Although it is not as good as the son of the world, Zhou'er is also a son of the clan. Jane can't be slow. He can't lose the face of the royal family and let the waiting house underestimate it. The old princess is already an uncalculated. First, she nodded and waited for me to draw up the gift list. Just give it to the chief historian to prepare. When Xiao Xie said this, he was no longer angry and bent his eyebrows: "The Hou Mansion is a family of the previous dynasty. It pays attention to its reputation. It will definitely return the gift money as a dowry according to the convention. This money will not belong to Zhouer in the future. And we are still in the royal palace at present. The wedding banquet is organized by the public, but the gift can be returned to Zhouer according to the usual. At the time of the son's wedding, I didn't see the list of congratulatory gifts. I didn't even belong to Guan Suiyuan. There was a precedent before, and my uncle was not picky about anything.

The first application banquet depends on the royal family, but of course, the woman's dowry cannot be returned to the royal palace, plus the guests' gifts... Xiao Xie's calculation is fast. After a wedding, at least 100,000 yuan was recorded, which is more than her income for more than ten years of cutting off the account book. , why is it not ecstatic?

The king of Chu and Yu Yu are both filial sons and don't care about money. Even if the concubine of the world is a junior, a woman, a newlywed, and even the middle gift can't intervene. Can she intervene in their second room's wedding banquet?

The key person, the old princess, nodded again, and there was no change.

Hearing this, Yu Dong's depressed mood was slightly relieved. He praised Xiao Xie a few words with satisfaction, changed his clothes when he went out, drove out of the inner city, and went to the suburbs of Beijing to reunite with his concubine and youngest son.
