Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The next day, the Jia family was silent in the ancestral hall. Jia Zhen led the crowd to pay homage to the ancestral tablet, ordered someone to invite Jia's mother to come in, and then said to the three of them: "In front of the ancestors, and all the elders, the old lady agrees to separate the family. gone?"

"The tree has a big branch, let's divide it, sooner or later there will be such a day."

"Is there something difficult for the old lady? Since ancient times, there are parents, regardless of the family. My Jia family also puts filial piety first."

"Mother, if you have any difficulties and don't want to share, the elders in this ancestral hall can speak for you." Jia She answered coolly.

"Split, I agree. Five to five, the boss will move out, and Zheng'er and I will stay in the Duke's mansion."

"Why is the eldest son moving away?"

"It's okay, we mother and son have discussed it. The Duke's Mansion is for the second child to live in, and it will be cheaper for the mother to visit relatives."

When everyone saw that the mother and son were all willing to separate, they were speechless.Jia Zhen wrote on the family tree and said, "Uncle She and Uncle Zheng are two families from today on."

"We're still brothers, we still have to watch over and help each other," said Jia's mother.

Jia She said: "I have one more thing here. When the old Duke was alive, he had explained that the money in the old treasury was set aside to repay the loan from the imperial court. Before separating the family, the money from the court should be returned first."

"Boss, the money is for repairing the family garden. Who do you think has returned to the court?"

"Mother, isn't it natural to pay off debts?"

"After paying back the money, how do you ask the second child to repair the family's garden?"

"The mother would like the second child to go to the household department with the son to draw a deposit, and the second child will pay back the money owed?"

"You bastard. Disobedient."

"Mother, should I repay the money from the court to the second son, and then let the son pay the debt, is that filial piety?"

Jia Mu was silent.Jia Zheng was in a hurry: "Brother, how can you talk to your mother like that?"

"Second brother, we have already separated, and this brother will settle the score clearly."

"Boss, do you have to pay back the money? Are you planning not to borrow money from your mother in the future?"

"Oh," Jia She said with a long sigh, "Mother, since that's the case, Lao Ku is going to pay back the imperial money first, and then his son will leave the clan and set up another branch."

"Okay, if you're so unfeeling, just treat it as if I didn't support you."

Jia Zhen and the clan elders persuaded her one after another, but Jia's mother was sullen and silent, but Jia Zheng said dryly, "Brother, brother, you are angry with mother, how can you talk to mother like that."

Jia Amnesty only said to Jia's mother: "Mother should not say that she has no son. The son has already returned a son to the mother."

Mother Jia's eyes widened, "Boss, boss, you?"

Jia She said coldly and without any emotion, "Mother, Hu'er has two wet nurses, and the father left one for his son. The son also has a letter written by his father. Do you want all the clan elders to read it?"

Mother Jia's complexion was pale, she only pointed at Jia Amnesty and trembled, "Return, the money from the imperial court will be returned today." Supporting Jia Zheng, he left the ancestral hall first.

Jia Amnesty invited all the elders in the ancestral hall to move to Rongguo Mansion. When they entered the mansion, they ordered people to move the account books to the hall, and sent people to invite Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.The accountant still wanted to think about the Zhuangzi shop one by one, so Jia Amnesty said, "All these years, the second family has been the housekeeper, so let's divide the second family into two piles." Then he turned to Jia Zheng and said, "Your daughter-in-law After dividing, I will pick up a pile first." Mrs. Wang's hand holding the account book froze, and then continued to take the account book handed over by the mother-in-law, looking at it and dividing it into left and right piles.

Everyone waited while drinking tea, and when Mrs. Wang sorted it out, Jia She casually pointed to the pile on the left, "That's all." Someone told Jia Lian, "It's all yours, take it to your husband and wife to take care of it." Let’s go.” Then he asked the accountant: “Is the sacrificial field in there? Can the Jinling shop and Zhuangzi be in?” The manager of the accountant was speechless.Jia Mu said: "You have set up another one, and you still want the sacrifice land in Jinling? You can save it yourself in the future."

Jia She looked at the clan elders around him and said: "All clan elders testify that I am the eldest son, and the family is split between five and five. Half of the pile is reserved for the old lady and the second child's family, the old lady has something to say?"

Mother Jia shook her head embarrassingly.

Jia Amnesty invited everyone to go to the old treasury together, opened three big locks at the same time, stacked boxes of silver neatly, and counted out 80 taels, called the strong servant Ding and ordered Jia Lian to take the money back to the household department. Jia Zheng divided the remaining silver in half.Ask Jia Zheng to accompany the clan elders to have a banquet and leave by himself.

Some clan elders flattered Jia Zheng, "Zheng'er won more than [-]% of the division of the family, plus the government of a country. In general divisions, the eldest son can't take so much."

Jia Zhengdao: "It's all outside the body, arranged by the mother, and Zheng is just following the order of the mother."

Although Jia Zhen is the head of the clan, she also drinks with the elders of all clans.Thinking of his father's words in his heart, Jia She can do whatever he wants, if it wasn't for what happened to the old thousand-year-old, then Jia She might have become a minister of various ministries or higher.

Mrs. Wang went back to her room and secretly hated that there were not many villages left in Jinling's sacrificial field shop.Let’s not talk about the shop for now, how much will be filled in to buy this sacrificial field? !If I had known that the family was divided like this, why did I go to such lengths to sell Jinling's property.

Baoyu waited in Jiamu's room, and when he saw Jiamu, he went up, "Old ancestor, why are the families separated? Is it not good for everyone?" Jiamu rubbed Baoyu's back and sighed, "Baoyu, the tree is big. Branch, sooner or later the family will be separated." Then he said to the sisters, "Master Yingchun is determined to take Yingchun away, girl Ying knows?" Yingchun stepped forward and replied in a low voice: "Go back to the ancestors, I understand." "Oh , Ying girl, the old lady is also reluctant to part with you. She was only as big as a kitten when she hugged me, and now she has grown up gracefully, but she is no longer seen." Jiamu covered her face with a handkerchief.Everyone hurriedly gathered around to comfort, Baoyu took Yingchun's hand, "Second sister, second sister, tell the old man that you will not leave, stay with the old lady, we are all together." Yingchun bowed her head and said nothing, Baoyu began to fall Tears, holding Jia Mu's arm and crying, "Old ancestor, old ancestor, tell the old man to keep the second sister."

There was an uproar in Jiamu's room.Jia Mu, who was arguing for a while, was dizzy, so she frightened Baoyu and said, "Your master is at home today, maybe something will come in, be careful your master will see it."

Yingchun backed out quietly, and Si Qi followed behind and asked in a low voice: "Girl, shall we go back and pack things now?"

"No. There's nothing to clean up. You and I go to see the second sister-in-law."

Yingchun took Si Qi to the east courtyard, and saw that the east courtyard was crying and scolding inappropriately.It turned out that Mrs. Xing called Ren Yazi early in the morning, and pulled out all the concubines in the backyard. They only had their clothes on their bodies, and they took off all their clothes.Mrs. Xing, the flatterer of Wang Shanbao's family, said: "Every little vixen has finally received his retribution today." Then he smiled and complimented, "Madam, how many jewelry and hairpin rings have been added this time?" Mrs. Xing brought a few This woman, after sweeping the house of those concubines for sale, happily added them to her cage, and all the accompanying women were beaming with joy and their pockets bulging.

Yingchun entered the yard of Lian Er and Sister Feng, and saw Sister Feng directing everyone, "Open everything you don't need, just pick up the daily ones that you can use these days and move in." Seeing Yingchun coming in, she waved, "Sister is here. Come in and sit down."

Yingchun was a little surprised, Sister Feng was usually indifferent when seeing her, and she was rarely so enthusiastic.Still silently followed in.After entering the room, Sister Feng took off her cloak. Yingchun and Si Qi were shocked when they saw Sister Feng's stomach, but it was still Si Qi who asked, "Second Grandma, when did this happen to you? Why doesn't the whole house know about it? Didn't the old lady invite the imperial physician to see you and said that Second Mistress, you are just tired?"

Sister Feng laughed, and asked the little girl to call the nanny to bring the eldest sister over, "I'm tired, and my stomach is showing after resting for half a month. Or do you think the old lady would agree to split the family so easily."

Yingchun teased the eldest sister to play, and Sister Feng asked Si Qi, "Have you packed your things, girl?"

"Going back to the second grandma, the girl said that there is nothing to pack. There are not many things, and I will pack it up with a few sisters when I go back. Second grandma, who are we taking away from the house?"

"Bring all of them. Your second master said that if you serve well, you will continue to serve. If you don't serve well, he will let the girl decide."

Si Qi stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Second Master and Second Grandma, for taking care of me."

Sister Feng pulled Si Qi up and smiled, "Your girl is the second master's own sister, so it's not right for him to make decisions for her."

Yingchun was pulled up by Si Qi, and bowed to Sister Feng, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Not to mention Jia's gossip, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng regretted it very much, and Jia Lian went to pay back the money owed by the household department.
