Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 219
Chapter 219
On the day of his envoy to Nanliang, Yi Bai went to the palace to meet Emperor Xuanzong.
Emperor Xuanzong scanned Yi Bai from head to toe with a pair of malicious eyes, and then put on a warm smile on his face, with a hint of guilt, "I only heard that the national teacher was ill after I made an order. How about it? Can you go to Nanliang, if you can't, I will take back the order and arrange someone else to go." Of course, it's just a formality, even if Yi Bai says he can't make it, he still has a plan to wait, but at present, it is still worthwhile to save face. He has to do enough, who made him a good emperor who is sympathetic to his subjects?
Yi Bai shook his head, "This humble minister is fine."
"Then why don't I ask the imperial physician to show you?" Emperor Xuanzong said worriedly, "After all, it is about the friendship between the two countries. If the national teacher drags the sick body along, it will inevitably be criticized."
"My minister is already well, the emperor is worrying too much." Yi Bai said expressionlessly.
Emperor Xuanzong rubbed his chin, "Since there is no problem, I will not force you to stay. The Ministry of Rites has already prepared the matters related to the envoy to Nanliang, and the national teacher can just go to the Minister of Rites to hand over it."
Yi Bai was about to leave when Emperor Xuanzong called him again, "By the way, Princess Qixia will take Princess Rongning to go with her. It will be a long journey, and I hope the national teacher will take care of these two little girls."
Yi Bai's eyes flickered slightly. In fact, he knew about Ye Yun's going to Nanliang a few months ago. He didn't feel too surprised at this time, so he nodded, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations."
After going to the Ministry of Rites to talk to Zhou Shangshu, Yi Bai led the envoys out of the palace gate.
Princess Qixia's car was parked outside, and Yun Jingshu had already gone up.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Yun stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and at the moment when he revealed his charming face, many of the envoys stared straight at the eyes, most of them were young. I have nothing to say about the beauty of this princess from the bottom of my heart.
The number one beauty is the number one beauty, no matter where she goes, her influence cannot be underestimated.
Yi Bai walked in the front, and Ye Yun saw it when he opened the curtain, but he didn't have any special impressions, he just glanced away and cupped his hands, "I have seen the eldest princess."
"National teacher?" Ye Yun was a little startled, "I heard that you are sick, can you insist on going to Nanliang?"
The one outside is born with a sick body, Ye Yun has always known it.
As far as Yi Bai's appearance is concerned, there is really no second one in Beiyan. From the appearance alone, he and Ye Yun are very compatible, and many people have discussed the relationship between the national teacher and Ye Yun in private. The eldest princess is a perfect match, but it is a pity that one is indifferent and ruthless, and the other is heartless. It is destined that these two will never get together.
When Yi Bai first entered the court, Emperor Xuanzong even thought about betrotting his younger sister to him. After all, looking at Beiyan, apart from Yi Bai, he couldn't find anyone who could be so right with his younger sister. Knowing Yi Bai's identity, Emperor Xuanzong broke out in a cold sweat, and he was also glad that he hadn't brought up that idea at the beginning, otherwise once Yi Bai's identity was exposed, wouldn't he, the emperor, have to make fun of him?
"The minister is fine, and Princess Lao is concerned." Yi Bai said lightly, his eyes paused on Ye Yun again.
He has never been close to women, but Ye Yun's outfit today made him take a second look, not because he was surprised, but... like someone in his memory.
But Yi Bai is just a blank slate in terms of feelings, and he doesn't think about those messy aspects, he just thinks everything is a coincidence.
Concentrating his thoughts, everything returned to nothingness. He turned around and greeted the envoys to get on their horses, and a group of people walked out of the city gate in a mighty manner.
Yi Zhou got up early in the morning, packed up his outfit, rode a horse and waited outside the city gate.
The reason why he came so early was that he did not follow Yi Bai to Nanliang as an envoy, he was purely to join in the fun, and he was not sure when the envoys would leave, and he was even more afraid that his brother would leave early in order to avoid him. So he came early and waited outside the city gate, carrying a burden on his shoulders, lying on the horse's back to sleep like a big shrimp, but his ears were erect, as long as there was any movement around him, he would definitely can be noticed immediately.
The soldiers guarding the city had been looking at this little overlord for nearly an hour and a half. He had been sleeping on his horseback since he came outside the city gate. Out of politeness, they went over to say hello, and were yelled into smoke by that loud voice. So they shrank their necks and looked at each other, not daring to provoke them anymore.
If you want to say that the reason why the little overlord of the prime minister's family is so fearful is not that he has any awe-inspiring abilities like Yi Bai, but that he has a messy temper and provokes him. He can think of any messy tricks. Looking at the whole emperor All, who can beat him?A person who has nothing to do with his parents, what else can others do to get him?
When the convoy of envoys came over, Yi Zhou slowly opened his eyes, skipped Princess Qixia's car and looked behind, and after making sure that Yi Bai was among them, he felt relieved and rode over, "Brother."
Yi Bai glanced at him, "How long have you been here?"
Yi Zhou rubbed his eyes, "It didn't take long, just over an hour."
Yi Bai frowned, "What are you doing here so early?"
Yi Zhou thought in his heart that he was afraid that you would back down and not take me there.
"I'm so excited, I can't sleep. So come early and wait." Yi Zhou puffed out his chest and yawned again.
Seeing that his eyes were black and blue, Yi Bai thought he didn't sleep well at all, and he could probably guess why he arrived so early, so he didn't say much, "Let's go!"
Yi Zhou turned his horse's head around, as if he just found Princess Qixia's carriage, "Brother, who is sitting in there?"
"Princess Qixia."
"She's going too?" Yi Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Why, Beiyan couldn't find a son-in-law, so she went to Nanliang specially?" Tsk, this look, I really don't know anyone.
Yi Bai didn't respond, he really wasn't interested in knowing about such things.
Yi Zhou withdrew his gaze and looked at Yi Bai, "Brother, can you ride a horse with your body? If not, I'll ask someone to prepare a carriage for you."
Yi Bai said: "It's okay, let's go!" He had already promised Emperor Xuanzong that it would be good, if he behaved too weak at this time, it would be detrimental to himself.
Yi Zhou couldn't persuade him, so he could only shut up obediently. After walking for a while, he took off the burden on his shoulders and shook it in front of Yi Bai, "Brother, I have a lot of good things here. It will come in handy."
Jin Ou, who was hiding in the dark, was a little speechless. His master was a doctor, so he must have made all the preparations before going out. Why is this second young master like an old woman, who always likes to worry about this and that, and is not afraid of getting gray hair.
However, they have long been used to this kind of thing. Although the second son is a gangster and his voice is a bit louder, he has absolutely nothing to say to his master.
In the carriage, Yun Jingshu kept looking outside because of nervousness and excitement.
Ye Yun asked: "Why do you always look outside, is there anything special outside?"
Yun Jingshu came back to her senses, shook her head, and said in embarrassment: "I'm a little nervous because I think I'm going back to my hometown soon."
"Relax!" Ye Yun said with a smile, "For you, isn't it just going home, although Jing'an Palace is your real home, but I think you are more attached to the home in Nanliang, so long time no see Family, it’s rare to go back, you should be happy!”
Yun Jingshu nodded, she should indeed be happy, and she was a little nervous because she was too happy before.
"Well, don't forget to help me when the time comes." Ye Yun looked at Yun Jingshu with a smile, and she had already taken Su Yan as her own in her heart.
This princess is indeed worthy of being the top of Beiyan's beauty list. Apart from her appearance, she is also very talented, and she is also very good at life. She has a scheming plan, but she is not bad.The only shortcoming is that because I am too good and too perfect, I am a little drifting, which is not too much, but in the matter of treating Su Yan, it is indeed not very kind, even before seeing anyone. After a longing.
Thinking of Su Yan, Yun Jingshu lowered her eyes, wondering whether that person would be attracted by Ye Yun's "specialness", after all, there was Yun Chuwei first...
Yun Chuwei, how should I put it, if she hadn't harmed Yun Jingshu, Yun Jingshu would be willing to admit that that person is not only beautiful, but also has unparalleled wisdom and skills. When she opens her mouth to deliberately target someone, say If it comes out, it can poison people to death, and I never allow myself to suffer the slightest loss.
Yun Jingshu and Ye Yun haven't been in contact for a long time, so she doesn't know what this person's methods are, but she feels in her heart that Ye Yun, a princess who has been locked in a deep palace since she was a child, is like Yun Chuwei, who was sent away. Compared with those who grew up in the countryside, the latter must have more knowledge and experience, at least in this point, Ye Yun lost a bit.
It's just that these are all external factors. If Su Yan is really that greedy and lustful, he wouldn't care what kind of experience Ye Yun had. He might not be able to move when he saw Ye Yun's appearance.Thinking about it, if it is really implemented, Su Yan?Is it possible?
Yun Jingshu couldn't help but broke into a cold sweat for Ye Yun again.
Ye Yun was very casual, and now he took out a book and read it with gusto.
Yun Jingshu glanced roughly, Ye Yun's hands were well maintained, fair and slender, good-looking is good-looking, but in memory, Yun Chuwei always kept her hands supple and tender, making people feel like touching them. The skin is as smooth and tender as a baby's. Similarly, Yun Chuwei's hands are also very slender, and even the proportions between the joints are just right. It's like admiring a precious jade, which is pleasing to the eye.
Compared with Yun Chuwei's, Ye Yun's hand seemed a little bit inferior.
If Ye Yun can compare with Yun Chuwei, it is probably this face. Yun Chuwei belongs to the type that is not amazing at first glance, but after a long time, you will find that her facial features are perfectly combined. A little bit of dead spots and blemishes, plus she is good at maintenance, her skin is always moist and tender, even if she gets together with royal princesses and princesses, she will definitely be the most outstanding one, not because she is too beautiful To what extent, but she has a very special charm, which allows people to find her in the crowd at a glance.
As for Ye Yun, her face definitely belongs to the type that can make a man fall in love at first sight. She is gorgeous but not coquettish, slender and fit, and there is a provocative style between her frowns and smiles, but it is not obvious, let alone vulgar. It seems to be nothing, scratching people's itch.
Yun Jingshu thought, Yun Chuwei was pregnant now, so she couldn't serve Su Yan at all, and Su Yan, a majestic God of War, was full of blood, could he bear not touching women for so long?Maybe when I see Ye Yun at that time, it is unknown that the man's animal nature will suddenly erupt.
Ye Yun felt that Yun Jingshu was looking at herself, she put down the scroll, and smiled slightly, "What's wrong?"
Ye Yun is proud, but not arrogant, because her own beauty and talent will not make people feel that her arrogance is so abrupt, but will give birth to a feeling of "reasonable", as if the word "arrogance" is born It was tailor-made for her.
The slight smile at the moment, with a bit of politeness, made Yun Jingshu, a daydreaming person, feel embarrassed, and blushed a little, "It's nothing, I just think the eldest princess is really good-looking."
Ye Yun smiled, "It doesn't matter if I was born well or not, the key is to make Su Yan tempted."
If this kind of words were put in the mouths of people like Luo Yushan and Yun Xueyao, they would be insanely crazy, but when Ye Yun said it, no matter how pleasant it sounded, it would even make people feel a little bit like Yun Chu. It gave her the illusion of a future son-in-law.
Yun Jingshu shook her head, "The eldest princess is Beiyan's number one beauty, I believe there is no man in this world who will not be tempted."
"Really?" Why did she think that Nanliang, the god of war, would not be easily tempted?But it just so happened that she admired such people, they were too easy to get, and she got tired of seeing them in the early years.If Su Yan didn't like her at first, but later got to know her and was moved, then it would prove that she was really capable.
Picking up the scroll again, Ye Yun leaned lightly on the large pillow, and his gaze on the scroll was focused and serious.
-
Emperor Yonglong's birthday is approaching, the palace is extremely busy, and the Su Mansion is also very busy, busy with separating the family.
Years ago, all houses and courtyards listened to Mrs. Qu's words, and first finished the old lady's hundred-day filial piety. Now that the Spring Festival has passed, it is time to separate.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Tai asked her mother-in-law to notify them one by one, and invited the masters of each house and courtyard to the meeting hall of the Su Mansion.
The meeting hall of the Su family is as important as the ancestral hall. It is usually only opened when there are important events in the clan, and the people who come here are all people who occupy a place in the clan, such as clan elders from various branches, those with lower seniority, The concubine could barely come in to listen, but he was not qualified to participate in the discussion, so the concubine didn't even think about it.But today when the family is separated, the meeting room is wide open, and those concubines who have never entered the meeting room before have all had a chance, with their backs straightened, their nostrils turned up, and they dislike each other. of.
No wonder they act like this. After all, they have been concubines for half their lives, and they have only been trampled underfoot by their concubine. Skill, so the only day when he can stand up straight in front of Lichu, he must try his best to get back the grievances he suffered in the first half of his life.
Mrs. Tai sat on the top and watched this scene indifferently. She had seen enough intrigues between the houses in those years, and now she thought it was nothing unusual. Eye-opening.
Mrs. Tai has no way of knowing what other people's back houses are like, but she is very clear about the Su Mansion. This is a cage with a beautiful shell and a rotten inside.
Some people do well and are favored by their masters, and in three to five years they become noble concubines, and the sons who come out of the bottom can barely follow the master's fortune, and they will have someone to rely on when they get old; Or it's because they can't have a son, they don't have the confidence, they are criticized for everything they do, even the servants can be bullied, and the daughter who is born loses their value because of the humble status of the aunt.If you want to get ahead, you can only go to the mistress by yourself to curry favor and courteousness, coax the mistress to warm you up, and with a little chin, I will promise you a acceptable marriage, and you will be considered a winner in this life.
Of course, the premise of getting a satisfactory marriage is that you have marriage value to the mistress, and can pave the way for the bright future of the family or someone in the family, otherwise, which mistress will worry about you alone without worrying about so many chores How is the nameless little concubine getting married?
However, the concubine girls in the high-end courtyard also have good and bad points, and some are just from bad backgrounds. The mothers are happy to promise Ruyi a marriage, after all, the other side who married is also happy, who would not be happy.
There is also a kind of person who knows that his background is not good but refuses to work hard and only knows how to blame his aunt. The mistress is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Whoever is good and who is bad can be seen at a glance. Do you want to marry a good man?I'm sorry, I'll go back and get a basin of water to see if I'm qualified.
Mrs. Tai laughed at herself. The more the Su family is admired and praised by outsiders, the more it proves that the inside is dirty and corrupt. All the fights are carried out behind closed doors. When they leave the gate, everyone is raised by aristocratic families, and they are so harmonious People are jealous.
"Mrs. Tai, all houses and courtyards are here." Xiao Sun stood aside and reminded in a low voice.
Mrs. Tai pulled her eyes back from those concubines, and looked at Su Yan and Yun Chuwei who were on the side.
Su Yan's injuries haven't healed yet, so he shouldn't have come, but today's occasion is too important, and with his status, it's hard to convince everyone without meeting him face to face.
Mrs. Tai cleared her throat. She had exhausted her timidity and cowardice in those years of torment, and she no longer felt afraid when facing the eyes of so many people, and her expression was open and frank.
"The old lady passed away a few years ago, and the officials who were in office had to suspend their jobs and go back to the house. Ding You, you all know the current situation of the Su family. The expenses are too high to make ends meet. The grandma has already reduced the number of servants in those days. All houses are more or less affected, and I understand that everyone will feel a little unhappy if you do this, if you are reluctant to part with it, you can call those maids back after the family is separated today."
Aunt Tai and her concubine and daughter-in-law looked at each other in blank dismay. This has all been returned to the person who was sent out under the deed of prostitution, so where can I recruit them back?
"Those people just left the Su family temporarily. Except for a few special cases, I arranged for the rest to go to the farm to help. The purpose is to wait for you to decide whether they will stay or not after the family is separated."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Mrs. Tai with meaningful eyes. Should I say that the new mistress is considerate or has ulterior motives? Even such trivial matters have been calculated in advance, and the latter is more likely to come.
Then, everyone suddenly realized.
Mrs. Tai just looks softer and weaker, but in fact her brains are not inferior to the old lady's. Even if the family is separated in the future, she can't easily offend her.
Yun Chuwei quietly raised his eyes to see everyone's reaction, and raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.She felt it was inappropriate when Xiao Sun was driving people away, so she discussed with Mrs. Tai privately to bring back all those maids and women. The Su Mansion doesn't need them. They arrange to go there, at least for some of them, their jobs are back. It is not easy to earn some money for slaves these days, so there is no need to do too much.
Sure enough, bringing those people back was the most correct decision, wouldn't it come in handy today?It not only made it easier for the few houses of the deprived people, but also gained a reputation for being shrewd and capable for the mother-in-law, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing Yun Chuwei's reaction like this, Su Yan knew that it was probably her idea that those servants were left behind, so he smiled lightly.
Yun Chuwei felt the inadvertent admiration in his eyes, and her face blushed slightly. In fact, she did this not because she felt sorry for those maids, but because she wanted to leave a way out for herself. She was alone in her previous life. She is used to being cautious when she breaks through, and she has to be reborn after death. For her, life is hard-won, so she naturally has to seize the opportunity to live well. At the same time, she doesn't like to be controlled by others, and she can see and arrange things in advance by herself. Things, she will never do anything to others or even be lazy to do it.
"That's great!" A certain aunt said excitedly: "The little maid beside me was crying when she left, saying that she couldn't bear to part with me. It's great now, after the family is separated, I can get her back and continue to serve her." I am an old woman, as long as my old woman has something to eat, she will never be hungry."
This is true, the people in the other rooms also nodded, and for a while they had a little affection for Mrs. Tai. This is still different from the old lady, at least she is not so ruthless in doing things, and her methods are not so ruthless.
After everyone calmed down, Mrs. Tai went on to say: "As for the division of the family, I have arranged it this way. When I go out here, I will bring the clansman to officiate because of the New Year's Day. All the ceremonies have to be arranged here. Work harder, and you will be rewarded for the share." In terms of property, there is a part more than that of the concubine, except for the part that the concubines get more, the rest, regardless of the concubines, are all shared equally. As for the unmarried girls in each house, I will not leave them alone. After all, there are too many people, and it is not a small task to really refine it. After the separation, the house where the girls come from will get the dowry from that house. As for how and whom to marry, it is also up to them. Each room manages by itself.
In addition, although the income from the shops and farms under the name of each house is no longer under the management of the public, the annual expenses of the immovable family properties such as the sacrificial land and Yongye land, ethnology and ancestral halls, each house must be paid out on time and in accordance with the amount. Submit your share. "
After saying this, the concubines began to discuss in a low voice. It is natural to be happy to have the right to head the house, but Mrs. Tai said that the concubines have more property than the concubines. Who knows how much her so-called "part" has? On the surface it sounds like an even distribution, but in fact it is not biased towards the first wife. The concubines and the shrewd daughter-in-laws all gritted their teeth and looked dissatisfied.
And the girls below them who have not yet left the cabinet are flustered. If the family is not separated, then the marriage can still be arranged by the mistress. Guang, with her coming forward, even a concubine can marry more beautifully.But once the family is separated, the concubine will be nailed to death. You can only be a concubine. Even if the biological mother above has the reputation of being a "head of the family", she will not be able to stand on the stage. Your status determines which circle you can enter, and you will be separated with your biological mother , What kind of good husband can she find for herself in the future?It's not like seeing which one is doing the job and sending it over for nothing.Those young masters who are capable and talented, they are afraid that they will not be able to reach them in their lifetime.
The girls who were twisting their handkerchiefs looked at their parents, and saw that they were all blushing and thick-necked because of the uneven wealth, and they didn't have time to take care of them.
A girl from the fifth room immediately stood up and said, "I heard that Mrs. Tai's body is not very healthy. My granddaughter knows how to massage and recuperate. She wants to stay in front of Mrs. Tai to fulfill her filial piety."
Even if Uncle Jiu loses his military power, the Duke's Mansion is still a place of wealth and wealth, if he doesn't fight for the opportunity now, when will it be!
As soon as she finished speaking, the girls in the other rooms reacted immediately, and stood up anxiously one by one, expressing that they all wanted to stay in front of Mrs. Tai to fulfill their filial piety.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help laughing, and looked at Su Yan, "Look at these nieces and nieces of Master Jiu, who usually hide them so that they can't be seen. Only now do I know that they are all dutiful sons!"
Although this is said with a smile, it is ironic to this part of the people. In the early years, they raised their eyes to the sky. Who can see the mother and child who were forgotten in the Lilac Garden and lived a miserable life. When interests were involved, each of them realized that the person sitting above was the elder, the new head of the family.The intention of cramming should not be too obvious.
Su Yan raised his lips mockingly. He had expected this situation long before he left the house, so he told Mrs. Tai everything that should be said and warned. She would not be able to feel sympathy for these people at a time like this. Come with pity.
Mrs. Tai is indeed so.
If it was a few years ago, she would definitely feel that these girls will not be able to marry good people in the future, but now she, not to mention that she has cultivated a heart of stone, at least she will not have the compassionate heart of those years, she wants to be a Bodhisattva When she was young, they all spat on her, said something vicious and said something, and belittled her to be extremely lowly. Now they don't want to be a Bodhisattva, but they catch up one by one, which is really ironic.
At this time, the parents of those girls also reflected why their daughters came out to speak like this, and they all looked at Mrs. Tai eagerly, and even hoped that Mrs. Tai would choose their own daughters to stay with them. The future will be infinitely beautiful!
Not to mention anything else, just the reputation of "coming out of the Duke's Mansion" is enough to pick a good family.
Faced with so many girls' requests, Mrs. Tai pretended not to know, her voice was soft, but she sounded a little alienated when she listened carefully, "When you didn't separate the family before, you didn't think that I, an old woman, was in poor health. I'm about to separate my family, and suddenly I thought about it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, after all, it's a separate family, each family is different, and they have nothing to do with each other, if you want to stay by my side, what's the matter?"
The girl who stood up first bit her lower lip. She was inexperienced and short-sighted, so she couldn't refute Mrs. Tai's call.Besides, being stared at by so many people, I was already in a panic, how could I come up with any good words?His eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
At this time, not to mention shedding tears, even shedding a piece of meat can not shake Mrs. Tai's determination. It's not that she insists on making life difficult for these little girls, but that she is really helpless. There are so many girls in the Su family who have not left the cabinet. They all want to find an excuse to stay by her side for some benefit, how many can she save?
Besides, everyone was invited to the meeting hall today to separate families. Did they think that children were playing house and playing tricks?
"Isn't it the people who can make decisions from each house and courtyard? Why are these girls also called? It's not a stage, and it's not time to sing and cry!" Su Yan held the teacup, quietly One sentence was spoken slowly, but it was enough to reveal the displeasure in his heart.
Many people here have seen with their own eyes that the famous clan elders who worshiped their ancestors last time were punished by Su Yan to kneel outside the ancestral hall. The wink to his mother-in-law was intended to get his daughter out quickly, otherwise if Lao Jiu gets angry in a while, he can do anything.
The youngest elder of the Su family, usually looks elegant and elegant, like a nobleman, but whoever steps on his bottom line makes him unhappy, no matter whether you are an elder or a junior, let you taste the pain first.
Lao Jiu is a man who doesn't play cards according to common sense. All his brothers and sisters know that, especially in recent years, his heart, liver and lungs have become more and more dark, and he has become unreasonable. He can make you cry for your father and mother, but why do you still find him? Not a single bit can refute his reasoning.
Those girls were quickly led down by the women outside.
Yun Chuwei sneaked a glance at Su Yan. Sure enough, Master Jiu is Master Jiu. Even if he is not angry, his powerful aura is still there. The elders above are probably used to his methods, and at the same time I am deeply afraid of him, otherwise, if he interrupted suddenly, no one would dare to stand up and refute.
Finally got quiet, Mrs. Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and asked people to bring up the list of property distribution and name it for each house to come up to pick it up.
"After a while, you can go to the warehouse to get things with the list in your hand. You can only get what is on it. The land deeds are all in the warehouse and have been prepared long ago. In addition, we said this time It's a division of the family, rather than the division of property, after all, it was originally planned that you don't have to move out, but if someone thinks that the Su residence is not clean and wants to move out and find a quiet place to live, I won't force it."
Someone asked: "If you move out, can the public provide subsidies?"
Mrs. Tai shook her head, "It's all voluntary. If you want to live in Su Mansion, I have no objection. If you want to move out, you can only spend your own money to build the mansion. There is no reason for the public to subsidize you."
The man thought about it bitterly, although the Su family has a lot of people, but the mansion is huge, occupying a full [-] acres, living in such a magnificent mansion, even if it is poor, it is still possible to go out To save face, go out and build a mansion by yourself, not to mention paying for it yourself, and you won't be able to gain the glory of the Su family at all, and they are concubines. In a few years, who will remember them?
With Mrs. Tai's words, those who were thinking of moving out and building their own houses immediately accepted their ideas.
The aunts don't care, anyway, they have to rely on their sons for the rest of their lives, so naturally they will go wherever the son goes, but if you really ask them, they would rather live in the Su Mansion, because I'm used to living in a luxury house, and I don't want to go out to endure hardships; secondly, do you mean building a mansion as soon as it's built?If you don't have any skills and don't have a lot of money, you can build a big mansion, but don't even have to squeeze the place to sleep, that's not what they want in their old age.
After distributing the property bills to each house, Mrs. Tai took down the ones from the concubine and passed them on to them. Anyway, she didn't embezzle anything privately, so there was no need to hide it.
The masters of the concubine got together and looked at it. The property allocated by the concubine was roughly the same as that of the concubine, but there were a few more shops. It is used for worshiping ancestors on New Year's Day and taking care of big and small things in the clan.
Well, these are indeed things that should be done in the future. If you do the math, then you won't be able to make a lot of money in the shop every year, so there is no need to hold on to it.
The complexions of those people finally looked a little better, and it was fair for Mrs. Tai, otherwise, if they really gave double shares to Li Chu, their brothers might have a falling out with the whole audience today.
Mrs. Tai glanced at everyone, "I've said everything I need to say now, and let you take what needs to be taken. If there's nothing wrong, let's go!"
Those who got the property list left the meeting room one by one.
Since it is a separated family, the long house and the fourth house are naturally included, and both houses have taken the list.
Xiao Sun and Princess Linglong stood still, not intending to go to the warehouse to collect things at all.
Mrs. Tai looked at the two of them, "Is there something else between you two?"
Princess Linglong handed the list to Mrs. Tai, "Mrs. Tai is now the head of the family, and the fourth wife is a descendant. Let you take care of the property of the fourth bedroom!"
This is a disguised form of partnering with the Duke's Mansion.
Xiao Sun also took the opportunity to say: "Ninth Aunt is pregnant, and Madam Tai is not very happy. I see that you are short of someone who can take care of things. If Madam Tai doesn't mind, I can help you with housework."
It can be said that the eldest room and the fourth room took great pains in order not to be separated from the Duke's mansion. A long time ago, Princess Linglong was the first to admit Mrs. Tai's status as the mistress, and threatened that Su Yan was the son of the Su family.
At that time, Yun Chuwei and Su Yan expected that even if they separated, the people in these two houses would find a way to connect with the Duke's Mansion.
However, it is Yun Chuwei's true intention to ask Xiao Sun to help manage the house. Although she is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion on the surface, she is a bit lazy and wants to be a shopkeeper , I am too lazy to manage so many general affairs. You must know that the number of servants in the Duke's Mansion cannot be underestimated. There are so many industries on the surface and in the dark that people have to deal with too many general affairs every day. Go, if she is really allowed to come, at most five years, she will have to age a lot due to overwork. She pays attention to maintenance, but she doesn't want to have wrinkles on her face at a young age. Now someone recommends herself to help her take care of the house , and she is very shrewd and capable, of course she is willing, but even if she is happy in heart, she has to show that she is not very happy on the surface.
"Since the family has been separated, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for your two houses to be combined with the Duke's mansion. If the aunts and girls know about it, why don't you make a big fuss?"
Princess Linglong sneered coldly: "So what if the aunts know about it, this is a matter between our three families, if they are willing, they can also live together as a few families, and then pick someone to take care of things, since it has been divided Well, it's not our own wish how we live, the aunts have no control over it, and they are not qualified to control it." Even if they are elders, they are just concubines, so what's the point of pointing fingers at the concubine?
Yun Chuwei and Su Yan looked at each other, and said: "Since you are so sincere, then I will not be disrespectful. From now on, all the general affairs of the eldest house, the fourth house and the ninth house will be taken care of by my nephew and daughter-in-law. Sister-in-law is an elder, if she does something wrong, you can help point out some things, and I don’t need to say more about the others. In the past, there were so many servants of the master, and Xiao Sun still took care of it. Now there are only three Room, I think coming here is much easier for you."
Xiao Sun is busy.That's what she said, but she herself understands very well that the rules of the Duke's Mansion are stricter than those of the Su Mansion, and managing the general affairs of the Duke's Mansion is much more difficult than all the servants of the Su family before.
It's just that, since she brought this matter up on her own initiative, no matter how difficult it is, she can only accept it.
The matter of merging the three houses was settled in this way, Su Yan and Yun Chuwei left first, and Mrs. Tai stayed behind to hand over to Xiao Sun.
After stepping out of the Su Mansion, Yun Chu took a deep breath of the outside air, "Finally we are separated, and we don't have to face those aunts and concubines every day. It's great."
Su Yan helped her into the carriage, and said with a smile, "In two months, I will really be a father, that's great."
Yun Chu chuckled slightly, "How long have you been looking forward to it?"
"Every day counts the days."
Yun Chu slightly rolled his eyelids, "You look forward to it happily, but it's hard for me, a big belly woman, I have to walk around with two little guys every day, and I'm exhausted."
Su Yan became nervous, "Is your calf cramp again? I'll rub it for you when I get back later."
"Let's forget it!" Yun Chu hurriedly refused, "You're not healed yet, it doesn't matter if I have this little problem, just let Aunt Han rub it for me, and when I get home, Master Jiu will still be fine Give birth to rest and heal your injury as soon as possible, and you will have the energy to serve me during confinement after two months."
It is indeed a bit "presumptuous" to say this in the current era. Isn't it normal for a woman to confine herself to confinement when she is pregnant in October?There are maids and women around you, so how could it be possible for the master's grandfather to wait on you for confinement.
But when it was applied to Su Yan, no matter how presumptuous she said it should be, without any hesitation, she nodded, "Okay."
(End of this chapter)
On the day of his envoy to Nanliang, Yi Bai went to the palace to meet Emperor Xuanzong.
Emperor Xuanzong scanned Yi Bai from head to toe with a pair of malicious eyes, and then put on a warm smile on his face, with a hint of guilt, "I only heard that the national teacher was ill after I made an order. How about it? Can you go to Nanliang, if you can't, I will take back the order and arrange someone else to go." Of course, it's just a formality, even if Yi Bai says he can't make it, he still has a plan to wait, but at present, it is still worthwhile to save face. He has to do enough, who made him a good emperor who is sympathetic to his subjects?
Yi Bai shook his head, "This humble minister is fine."
"Then why don't I ask the imperial physician to show you?" Emperor Xuanzong said worriedly, "After all, it is about the friendship between the two countries. If the national teacher drags the sick body along, it will inevitably be criticized."
"My minister is already well, the emperor is worrying too much." Yi Bai said expressionlessly.
Emperor Xuanzong rubbed his chin, "Since there is no problem, I will not force you to stay. The Ministry of Rites has already prepared the matters related to the envoy to Nanliang, and the national teacher can just go to the Minister of Rites to hand over it."
Yi Bai was about to leave when Emperor Xuanzong called him again, "By the way, Princess Qixia will take Princess Rongning to go with her. It will be a long journey, and I hope the national teacher will take care of these two little girls."
Yi Bai's eyes flickered slightly. In fact, he knew about Ye Yun's going to Nanliang a few months ago. He didn't feel too surprised at this time, so he nodded, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations."
After going to the Ministry of Rites to talk to Zhou Shangshu, Yi Bai led the envoys out of the palace gate.
Princess Qixia's car was parked outside, and Yun Jingshu had already gone up.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Yun stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and at the moment when he revealed his charming face, many of the envoys stared straight at the eyes, most of them were young. I have nothing to say about the beauty of this princess from the bottom of my heart.
The number one beauty is the number one beauty, no matter where she goes, her influence cannot be underestimated.
Yi Bai walked in the front, and Ye Yun saw it when he opened the curtain, but he didn't have any special impressions, he just glanced away and cupped his hands, "I have seen the eldest princess."
"National teacher?" Ye Yun was a little startled, "I heard that you are sick, can you insist on going to Nanliang?"
The one outside is born with a sick body, Ye Yun has always known it.
As far as Yi Bai's appearance is concerned, there is really no second one in Beiyan. From the appearance alone, he and Ye Yun are very compatible, and many people have discussed the relationship between the national teacher and Ye Yun in private. The eldest princess is a perfect match, but it is a pity that one is indifferent and ruthless, and the other is heartless. It is destined that these two will never get together.
When Yi Bai first entered the court, Emperor Xuanzong even thought about betrotting his younger sister to him. After all, looking at Beiyan, apart from Yi Bai, he couldn't find anyone who could be so right with his younger sister. Knowing Yi Bai's identity, Emperor Xuanzong broke out in a cold sweat, and he was also glad that he hadn't brought up that idea at the beginning, otherwise once Yi Bai's identity was exposed, wouldn't he, the emperor, have to make fun of him?
"The minister is fine, and Princess Lao is concerned." Yi Bai said lightly, his eyes paused on Ye Yun again.
He has never been close to women, but Ye Yun's outfit today made him take a second look, not because he was surprised, but... like someone in his memory.
But Yi Bai is just a blank slate in terms of feelings, and he doesn't think about those messy aspects, he just thinks everything is a coincidence.
Concentrating his thoughts, everything returned to nothingness. He turned around and greeted the envoys to get on their horses, and a group of people walked out of the city gate in a mighty manner.
Yi Zhou got up early in the morning, packed up his outfit, rode a horse and waited outside the city gate.
The reason why he came so early was that he did not follow Yi Bai to Nanliang as an envoy, he was purely to join in the fun, and he was not sure when the envoys would leave, and he was even more afraid that his brother would leave early in order to avoid him. So he came early and waited outside the city gate, carrying a burden on his shoulders, lying on the horse's back to sleep like a big shrimp, but his ears were erect, as long as there was any movement around him, he would definitely can be noticed immediately.
The soldiers guarding the city had been looking at this little overlord for nearly an hour and a half. He had been sleeping on his horseback since he came outside the city gate. Out of politeness, they went over to say hello, and were yelled into smoke by that loud voice. So they shrank their necks and looked at each other, not daring to provoke them anymore.
If you want to say that the reason why the little overlord of the prime minister's family is so fearful is not that he has any awe-inspiring abilities like Yi Bai, but that he has a messy temper and provokes him. He can think of any messy tricks. Looking at the whole emperor All, who can beat him?A person who has nothing to do with his parents, what else can others do to get him?
When the convoy of envoys came over, Yi Zhou slowly opened his eyes, skipped Princess Qixia's car and looked behind, and after making sure that Yi Bai was among them, he felt relieved and rode over, "Brother."
Yi Bai glanced at him, "How long have you been here?"
Yi Zhou rubbed his eyes, "It didn't take long, just over an hour."
Yi Bai frowned, "What are you doing here so early?"
Yi Zhou thought in his heart that he was afraid that you would back down and not take me there.
"I'm so excited, I can't sleep. So come early and wait." Yi Zhou puffed out his chest and yawned again.
Seeing that his eyes were black and blue, Yi Bai thought he didn't sleep well at all, and he could probably guess why he arrived so early, so he didn't say much, "Let's go!"
Yi Zhou turned his horse's head around, as if he just found Princess Qixia's carriage, "Brother, who is sitting in there?"
"Princess Qixia."
"She's going too?" Yi Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Why, Beiyan couldn't find a son-in-law, so she went to Nanliang specially?" Tsk, this look, I really don't know anyone.
Yi Bai didn't respond, he really wasn't interested in knowing about such things.
Yi Zhou withdrew his gaze and looked at Yi Bai, "Brother, can you ride a horse with your body? If not, I'll ask someone to prepare a carriage for you."
Yi Bai said: "It's okay, let's go!" He had already promised Emperor Xuanzong that it would be good, if he behaved too weak at this time, it would be detrimental to himself.
Yi Zhou couldn't persuade him, so he could only shut up obediently. After walking for a while, he took off the burden on his shoulders and shook it in front of Yi Bai, "Brother, I have a lot of good things here. It will come in handy."
Jin Ou, who was hiding in the dark, was a little speechless. His master was a doctor, so he must have made all the preparations before going out. Why is this second young master like an old woman, who always likes to worry about this and that, and is not afraid of getting gray hair.
However, they have long been used to this kind of thing. Although the second son is a gangster and his voice is a bit louder, he has absolutely nothing to say to his master.
In the carriage, Yun Jingshu kept looking outside because of nervousness and excitement.
Ye Yun asked: "Why do you always look outside, is there anything special outside?"
Yun Jingshu came back to her senses, shook her head, and said in embarrassment: "I'm a little nervous because I think I'm going back to my hometown soon."
"Relax!" Ye Yun said with a smile, "For you, isn't it just going home, although Jing'an Palace is your real home, but I think you are more attached to the home in Nanliang, so long time no see Family, it’s rare to go back, you should be happy!”
Yun Jingshu nodded, she should indeed be happy, and she was a little nervous because she was too happy before.
"Well, don't forget to help me when the time comes." Ye Yun looked at Yun Jingshu with a smile, and she had already taken Su Yan as her own in her heart.
This princess is indeed worthy of being the top of Beiyan's beauty list. Apart from her appearance, she is also very talented, and she is also very good at life. She has a scheming plan, but she is not bad.The only shortcoming is that because I am too good and too perfect, I am a little drifting, which is not too much, but in the matter of treating Su Yan, it is indeed not very kind, even before seeing anyone. After a longing.
Thinking of Su Yan, Yun Jingshu lowered her eyes, wondering whether that person would be attracted by Ye Yun's "specialness", after all, there was Yun Chuwei first...
Yun Chuwei, how should I put it, if she hadn't harmed Yun Jingshu, Yun Jingshu would be willing to admit that that person is not only beautiful, but also has unparalleled wisdom and skills. When she opens her mouth to deliberately target someone, say If it comes out, it can poison people to death, and I never allow myself to suffer the slightest loss.
Yun Jingshu and Ye Yun haven't been in contact for a long time, so she doesn't know what this person's methods are, but she feels in her heart that Ye Yun, a princess who has been locked in a deep palace since she was a child, is like Yun Chuwei, who was sent away. Compared with those who grew up in the countryside, the latter must have more knowledge and experience, at least in this point, Ye Yun lost a bit.
It's just that these are all external factors. If Su Yan is really that greedy and lustful, he wouldn't care what kind of experience Ye Yun had. He might not be able to move when he saw Ye Yun's appearance.Thinking about it, if it is really implemented, Su Yan?Is it possible?
Yun Jingshu couldn't help but broke into a cold sweat for Ye Yun again.
Ye Yun was very casual, and now he took out a book and read it with gusto.
Yun Jingshu glanced roughly, Ye Yun's hands were well maintained, fair and slender, good-looking is good-looking, but in memory, Yun Chuwei always kept her hands supple and tender, making people feel like touching them. The skin is as smooth and tender as a baby's. Similarly, Yun Chuwei's hands are also very slender, and even the proportions between the joints are just right. It's like admiring a precious jade, which is pleasing to the eye.
Compared with Yun Chuwei's, Ye Yun's hand seemed a little bit inferior.
If Ye Yun can compare with Yun Chuwei, it is probably this face. Yun Chuwei belongs to the type that is not amazing at first glance, but after a long time, you will find that her facial features are perfectly combined. A little bit of dead spots and blemishes, plus she is good at maintenance, her skin is always moist and tender, even if she gets together with royal princesses and princesses, she will definitely be the most outstanding one, not because she is too beautiful To what extent, but she has a very special charm, which allows people to find her in the crowd at a glance.
As for Ye Yun, her face definitely belongs to the type that can make a man fall in love at first sight. She is gorgeous but not coquettish, slender and fit, and there is a provocative style between her frowns and smiles, but it is not obvious, let alone vulgar. It seems to be nothing, scratching people's itch.
Yun Jingshu thought, Yun Chuwei was pregnant now, so she couldn't serve Su Yan at all, and Su Yan, a majestic God of War, was full of blood, could he bear not touching women for so long?Maybe when I see Ye Yun at that time, it is unknown that the man's animal nature will suddenly erupt.
Ye Yun felt that Yun Jingshu was looking at herself, she put down the scroll, and smiled slightly, "What's wrong?"
Ye Yun is proud, but not arrogant, because her own beauty and talent will not make people feel that her arrogance is so abrupt, but will give birth to a feeling of "reasonable", as if the word "arrogance" is born It was tailor-made for her.
The slight smile at the moment, with a bit of politeness, made Yun Jingshu, a daydreaming person, feel embarrassed, and blushed a little, "It's nothing, I just think the eldest princess is really good-looking."
Ye Yun smiled, "It doesn't matter if I was born well or not, the key is to make Su Yan tempted."
If this kind of words were put in the mouths of people like Luo Yushan and Yun Xueyao, they would be insanely crazy, but when Ye Yun said it, no matter how pleasant it sounded, it would even make people feel a little bit like Yun Chu. It gave her the illusion of a future son-in-law.
Yun Jingshu shook her head, "The eldest princess is Beiyan's number one beauty, I believe there is no man in this world who will not be tempted."
"Really?" Why did she think that Nanliang, the god of war, would not be easily tempted?But it just so happened that she admired such people, they were too easy to get, and she got tired of seeing them in the early years.If Su Yan didn't like her at first, but later got to know her and was moved, then it would prove that she was really capable.
Picking up the scroll again, Ye Yun leaned lightly on the large pillow, and his gaze on the scroll was focused and serious.
-
Emperor Yonglong's birthday is approaching, the palace is extremely busy, and the Su Mansion is also very busy, busy with separating the family.
Years ago, all houses and courtyards listened to Mrs. Qu's words, and first finished the old lady's hundred-day filial piety. Now that the Spring Festival has passed, it is time to separate.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Tai asked her mother-in-law to notify them one by one, and invited the masters of each house and courtyard to the meeting hall of the Su Mansion.
The meeting hall of the Su family is as important as the ancestral hall. It is usually only opened when there are important events in the clan, and the people who come here are all people who occupy a place in the clan, such as clan elders from various branches, those with lower seniority, The concubine could barely come in to listen, but he was not qualified to participate in the discussion, so the concubine didn't even think about it.But today when the family is separated, the meeting room is wide open, and those concubines who have never entered the meeting room before have all had a chance, with their backs straightened, their nostrils turned up, and they dislike each other. of.
No wonder they act like this. After all, they have been concubines for half their lives, and they have only been trampled underfoot by their concubine. Skill, so the only day when he can stand up straight in front of Lichu, he must try his best to get back the grievances he suffered in the first half of his life.
Mrs. Tai sat on the top and watched this scene indifferently. She had seen enough intrigues between the houses in those years, and now she thought it was nothing unusual. Eye-opening.
Mrs. Tai has no way of knowing what other people's back houses are like, but she is very clear about the Su Mansion. This is a cage with a beautiful shell and a rotten inside.
Some people do well and are favored by their masters, and in three to five years they become noble concubines, and the sons who come out of the bottom can barely follow the master's fortune, and they will have someone to rely on when they get old; Or it's because they can't have a son, they don't have the confidence, they are criticized for everything they do, even the servants can be bullied, and the daughter who is born loses their value because of the humble status of the aunt.If you want to get ahead, you can only go to the mistress by yourself to curry favor and courteousness, coax the mistress to warm you up, and with a little chin, I will promise you a acceptable marriage, and you will be considered a winner in this life.
Of course, the premise of getting a satisfactory marriage is that you have marriage value to the mistress, and can pave the way for the bright future of the family or someone in the family, otherwise, which mistress will worry about you alone without worrying about so many chores How is the nameless little concubine getting married?
However, the concubine girls in the high-end courtyard also have good and bad points, and some are just from bad backgrounds. The mothers are happy to promise Ruyi a marriage, after all, the other side who married is also happy, who would not be happy.
There is also a kind of person who knows that his background is not good but refuses to work hard and only knows how to blame his aunt. The mistress is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Whoever is good and who is bad can be seen at a glance. Do you want to marry a good man?I'm sorry, I'll go back and get a basin of water to see if I'm qualified.
Mrs. Tai laughed at herself. The more the Su family is admired and praised by outsiders, the more it proves that the inside is dirty and corrupt. All the fights are carried out behind closed doors. When they leave the gate, everyone is raised by aristocratic families, and they are so harmonious People are jealous.
"Mrs. Tai, all houses and courtyards are here." Xiao Sun stood aside and reminded in a low voice.
Mrs. Tai pulled her eyes back from those concubines, and looked at Su Yan and Yun Chuwei who were on the side.
Su Yan's injuries haven't healed yet, so he shouldn't have come, but today's occasion is too important, and with his status, it's hard to convince everyone without meeting him face to face.
Mrs. Tai cleared her throat. She had exhausted her timidity and cowardice in those years of torment, and she no longer felt afraid when facing the eyes of so many people, and her expression was open and frank.
"The old lady passed away a few years ago, and the officials who were in office had to suspend their jobs and go back to the house. Ding You, you all know the current situation of the Su family. The expenses are too high to make ends meet. The grandma has already reduced the number of servants in those days. All houses are more or less affected, and I understand that everyone will feel a little unhappy if you do this, if you are reluctant to part with it, you can call those maids back after the family is separated today."
Aunt Tai and her concubine and daughter-in-law looked at each other in blank dismay. This has all been returned to the person who was sent out under the deed of prostitution, so where can I recruit them back?
"Those people just left the Su family temporarily. Except for a few special cases, I arranged for the rest to go to the farm to help. The purpose is to wait for you to decide whether they will stay or not after the family is separated."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Mrs. Tai with meaningful eyes. Should I say that the new mistress is considerate or has ulterior motives? Even such trivial matters have been calculated in advance, and the latter is more likely to come.
Then, everyone suddenly realized.
Mrs. Tai just looks softer and weaker, but in fact her brains are not inferior to the old lady's. Even if the family is separated in the future, she can't easily offend her.
Yun Chuwei quietly raised his eyes to see everyone's reaction, and raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.She felt it was inappropriate when Xiao Sun was driving people away, so she discussed with Mrs. Tai privately to bring back all those maids and women. The Su Mansion doesn't need them. They arrange to go there, at least for some of them, their jobs are back. It is not easy to earn some money for slaves these days, so there is no need to do too much.
Sure enough, bringing those people back was the most correct decision, wouldn't it come in handy today?It not only made it easier for the few houses of the deprived people, but also gained a reputation for being shrewd and capable for the mother-in-law, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing Yun Chuwei's reaction like this, Su Yan knew that it was probably her idea that those servants were left behind, so he smiled lightly.
Yun Chuwei felt the inadvertent admiration in his eyes, and her face blushed slightly. In fact, she did this not because she felt sorry for those maids, but because she wanted to leave a way out for herself. She was alone in her previous life. She is used to being cautious when she breaks through, and she has to be reborn after death. For her, life is hard-won, so she naturally has to seize the opportunity to live well. At the same time, she doesn't like to be controlled by others, and she can see and arrange things in advance by herself. Things, she will never do anything to others or even be lazy to do it.
"That's great!" A certain aunt said excitedly: "The little maid beside me was crying when she left, saying that she couldn't bear to part with me. It's great now, after the family is separated, I can get her back and continue to serve her." I am an old woman, as long as my old woman has something to eat, she will never be hungry."
This is true, the people in the other rooms also nodded, and for a while they had a little affection for Mrs. Tai. This is still different from the old lady, at least she is not so ruthless in doing things, and her methods are not so ruthless.
After everyone calmed down, Mrs. Tai went on to say: "As for the division of the family, I have arranged it this way. When I go out here, I will bring the clansman to officiate because of the New Year's Day. All the ceremonies have to be arranged here. Work harder, and you will be rewarded for the share." In terms of property, there is a part more than that of the concubine, except for the part that the concubines get more, the rest, regardless of the concubines, are all shared equally. As for the unmarried girls in each house, I will not leave them alone. After all, there are too many people, and it is not a small task to really refine it. After the separation, the house where the girls come from will get the dowry from that house. As for how and whom to marry, it is also up to them. Each room manages by itself.
In addition, although the income from the shops and farms under the name of each house is no longer under the management of the public, the annual expenses of the immovable family properties such as the sacrificial land and Yongye land, ethnology and ancestral halls, each house must be paid out on time and in accordance with the amount. Submit your share. "
After saying this, the concubines began to discuss in a low voice. It is natural to be happy to have the right to head the house, but Mrs. Tai said that the concubines have more property than the concubines. Who knows how much her so-called "part" has? On the surface it sounds like an even distribution, but in fact it is not biased towards the first wife. The concubines and the shrewd daughter-in-laws all gritted their teeth and looked dissatisfied.
And the girls below them who have not yet left the cabinet are flustered. If the family is not separated, then the marriage can still be arranged by the mistress. Guang, with her coming forward, even a concubine can marry more beautifully.But once the family is separated, the concubine will be nailed to death. You can only be a concubine. Even if the biological mother above has the reputation of being a "head of the family", she will not be able to stand on the stage. Your status determines which circle you can enter, and you will be separated with your biological mother , What kind of good husband can she find for herself in the future?It's not like seeing which one is doing the job and sending it over for nothing.Those young masters who are capable and talented, they are afraid that they will not be able to reach them in their lifetime.
The girls who were twisting their handkerchiefs looked at their parents, and saw that they were all blushing and thick-necked because of the uneven wealth, and they didn't have time to take care of them.
A girl from the fifth room immediately stood up and said, "I heard that Mrs. Tai's body is not very healthy. My granddaughter knows how to massage and recuperate. She wants to stay in front of Mrs. Tai to fulfill her filial piety."
Even if Uncle Jiu loses his military power, the Duke's Mansion is still a place of wealth and wealth, if he doesn't fight for the opportunity now, when will it be!
As soon as she finished speaking, the girls in the other rooms reacted immediately, and stood up anxiously one by one, expressing that they all wanted to stay in front of Mrs. Tai to fulfill their filial piety.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help laughing, and looked at Su Yan, "Look at these nieces and nieces of Master Jiu, who usually hide them so that they can't be seen. Only now do I know that they are all dutiful sons!"
Although this is said with a smile, it is ironic to this part of the people. In the early years, they raised their eyes to the sky. Who can see the mother and child who were forgotten in the Lilac Garden and lived a miserable life. When interests were involved, each of them realized that the person sitting above was the elder, the new head of the family.The intention of cramming should not be too obvious.
Su Yan raised his lips mockingly. He had expected this situation long before he left the house, so he told Mrs. Tai everything that should be said and warned. She would not be able to feel sympathy for these people at a time like this. Come with pity.
Mrs. Tai is indeed so.
If it was a few years ago, she would definitely feel that these girls will not be able to marry good people in the future, but now she, not to mention that she has cultivated a heart of stone, at least she will not have the compassionate heart of those years, she wants to be a Bodhisattva When she was young, they all spat on her, said something vicious and said something, and belittled her to be extremely lowly. Now they don't want to be a Bodhisattva, but they catch up one by one, which is really ironic.
At this time, the parents of those girls also reflected why their daughters came out to speak like this, and they all looked at Mrs. Tai eagerly, and even hoped that Mrs. Tai would choose their own daughters to stay with them. The future will be infinitely beautiful!
Not to mention anything else, just the reputation of "coming out of the Duke's Mansion" is enough to pick a good family.
Faced with so many girls' requests, Mrs. Tai pretended not to know, her voice was soft, but she sounded a little alienated when she listened carefully, "When you didn't separate the family before, you didn't think that I, an old woman, was in poor health. I'm about to separate my family, and suddenly I thought about it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, after all, it's a separate family, each family is different, and they have nothing to do with each other, if you want to stay by my side, what's the matter?"
The girl who stood up first bit her lower lip. She was inexperienced and short-sighted, so she couldn't refute Mrs. Tai's call.Besides, being stared at by so many people, I was already in a panic, how could I come up with any good words?His eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
At this time, not to mention shedding tears, even shedding a piece of meat can not shake Mrs. Tai's determination. It's not that she insists on making life difficult for these little girls, but that she is really helpless. There are so many girls in the Su family who have not left the cabinet. They all want to find an excuse to stay by her side for some benefit, how many can she save?
Besides, everyone was invited to the meeting hall today to separate families. Did they think that children were playing house and playing tricks?
"Isn't it the people who can make decisions from each house and courtyard? Why are these girls also called? It's not a stage, and it's not time to sing and cry!" Su Yan held the teacup, quietly One sentence was spoken slowly, but it was enough to reveal the displeasure in his heart.
Many people here have seen with their own eyes that the famous clan elders who worshiped their ancestors last time were punished by Su Yan to kneel outside the ancestral hall. The wink to his mother-in-law was intended to get his daughter out quickly, otherwise if Lao Jiu gets angry in a while, he can do anything.
The youngest elder of the Su family, usually looks elegant and elegant, like a nobleman, but whoever steps on his bottom line makes him unhappy, no matter whether you are an elder or a junior, let you taste the pain first.
Lao Jiu is a man who doesn't play cards according to common sense. All his brothers and sisters know that, especially in recent years, his heart, liver and lungs have become more and more dark, and he has become unreasonable. He can make you cry for your father and mother, but why do you still find him? Not a single bit can refute his reasoning.
Those girls were quickly led down by the women outside.
Yun Chuwei sneaked a glance at Su Yan. Sure enough, Master Jiu is Master Jiu. Even if he is not angry, his powerful aura is still there. The elders above are probably used to his methods, and at the same time I am deeply afraid of him, otherwise, if he interrupted suddenly, no one would dare to stand up and refute.
Finally got quiet, Mrs. Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and asked people to bring up the list of property distribution and name it for each house to come up to pick it up.
"After a while, you can go to the warehouse to get things with the list in your hand. You can only get what is on it. The land deeds are all in the warehouse and have been prepared long ago. In addition, we said this time It's a division of the family, rather than the division of property, after all, it was originally planned that you don't have to move out, but if someone thinks that the Su residence is not clean and wants to move out and find a quiet place to live, I won't force it."
Someone asked: "If you move out, can the public provide subsidies?"
Mrs. Tai shook her head, "It's all voluntary. If you want to live in Su Mansion, I have no objection. If you want to move out, you can only spend your own money to build the mansion. There is no reason for the public to subsidize you."
The man thought about it bitterly, although the Su family has a lot of people, but the mansion is huge, occupying a full [-] acres, living in such a magnificent mansion, even if it is poor, it is still possible to go out To save face, go out and build a mansion by yourself, not to mention paying for it yourself, and you won't be able to gain the glory of the Su family at all, and they are concubines. In a few years, who will remember them?
With Mrs. Tai's words, those who were thinking of moving out and building their own houses immediately accepted their ideas.
The aunts don't care, anyway, they have to rely on their sons for the rest of their lives, so naturally they will go wherever the son goes, but if you really ask them, they would rather live in the Su Mansion, because I'm used to living in a luxury house, and I don't want to go out to endure hardships; secondly, do you mean building a mansion as soon as it's built?If you don't have any skills and don't have a lot of money, you can build a big mansion, but don't even have to squeeze the place to sleep, that's not what they want in their old age.
After distributing the property bills to each house, Mrs. Tai took down the ones from the concubine and passed them on to them. Anyway, she didn't embezzle anything privately, so there was no need to hide it.
The masters of the concubine got together and looked at it. The property allocated by the concubine was roughly the same as that of the concubine, but there were a few more shops. It is used for worshiping ancestors on New Year's Day and taking care of big and small things in the clan.
Well, these are indeed things that should be done in the future. If you do the math, then you won't be able to make a lot of money in the shop every year, so there is no need to hold on to it.
The complexions of those people finally looked a little better, and it was fair for Mrs. Tai, otherwise, if they really gave double shares to Li Chu, their brothers might have a falling out with the whole audience today.
Mrs. Tai glanced at everyone, "I've said everything I need to say now, and let you take what needs to be taken. If there's nothing wrong, let's go!"
Those who got the property list left the meeting room one by one.
Since it is a separated family, the long house and the fourth house are naturally included, and both houses have taken the list.
Xiao Sun and Princess Linglong stood still, not intending to go to the warehouse to collect things at all.
Mrs. Tai looked at the two of them, "Is there something else between you two?"
Princess Linglong handed the list to Mrs. Tai, "Mrs. Tai is now the head of the family, and the fourth wife is a descendant. Let you take care of the property of the fourth bedroom!"
This is a disguised form of partnering with the Duke's Mansion.
Xiao Sun also took the opportunity to say: "Ninth Aunt is pregnant, and Madam Tai is not very happy. I see that you are short of someone who can take care of things. If Madam Tai doesn't mind, I can help you with housework."
It can be said that the eldest room and the fourth room took great pains in order not to be separated from the Duke's mansion. A long time ago, Princess Linglong was the first to admit Mrs. Tai's status as the mistress, and threatened that Su Yan was the son of the Su family.
At that time, Yun Chuwei and Su Yan expected that even if they separated, the people in these two houses would find a way to connect with the Duke's Mansion.
However, it is Yun Chuwei's true intention to ask Xiao Sun to help manage the house. Although she is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion on the surface, she is a bit lazy and wants to be a shopkeeper , I am too lazy to manage so many general affairs. You must know that the number of servants in the Duke's Mansion cannot be underestimated. There are so many industries on the surface and in the dark that people have to deal with too many general affairs every day. Go, if she is really allowed to come, at most five years, she will have to age a lot due to overwork. She pays attention to maintenance, but she doesn't want to have wrinkles on her face at a young age. Now someone recommends herself to help her take care of the house , and she is very shrewd and capable, of course she is willing, but even if she is happy in heart, she has to show that she is not very happy on the surface.
"Since the family has been separated, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for your two houses to be combined with the Duke's mansion. If the aunts and girls know about it, why don't you make a big fuss?"
Princess Linglong sneered coldly: "So what if the aunts know about it, this is a matter between our three families, if they are willing, they can also live together as a few families, and then pick someone to take care of things, since it has been divided Well, it's not our own wish how we live, the aunts have no control over it, and they are not qualified to control it." Even if they are elders, they are just concubines, so what's the point of pointing fingers at the concubine?
Yun Chuwei and Su Yan looked at each other, and said: "Since you are so sincere, then I will not be disrespectful. From now on, all the general affairs of the eldest house, the fourth house and the ninth house will be taken care of by my nephew and daughter-in-law. Sister-in-law is an elder, if she does something wrong, you can help point out some things, and I don’t need to say more about the others. In the past, there were so many servants of the master, and Xiao Sun still took care of it. Now there are only three Room, I think coming here is much easier for you."
Xiao Sun is busy.That's what she said, but she herself understands very well that the rules of the Duke's Mansion are stricter than those of the Su Mansion, and managing the general affairs of the Duke's Mansion is much more difficult than all the servants of the Su family before.
It's just that, since she brought this matter up on her own initiative, no matter how difficult it is, she can only accept it.
The matter of merging the three houses was settled in this way, Su Yan and Yun Chuwei left first, and Mrs. Tai stayed behind to hand over to Xiao Sun.
After stepping out of the Su Mansion, Yun Chu took a deep breath of the outside air, "Finally we are separated, and we don't have to face those aunts and concubines every day. It's great."
Su Yan helped her into the carriage, and said with a smile, "In two months, I will really be a father, that's great."
Yun Chu chuckled slightly, "How long have you been looking forward to it?"
"Every day counts the days."
Yun Chu slightly rolled his eyelids, "You look forward to it happily, but it's hard for me, a big belly woman, I have to walk around with two little guys every day, and I'm exhausted."
Su Yan became nervous, "Is your calf cramp again? I'll rub it for you when I get back later."
"Let's forget it!" Yun Chu hurriedly refused, "You're not healed yet, it doesn't matter if I have this little problem, just let Aunt Han rub it for me, and when I get home, Master Jiu will still be fine Give birth to rest and heal your injury as soon as possible, and you will have the energy to serve me during confinement after two months."
It is indeed a bit "presumptuous" to say this in the current era. Isn't it normal for a woman to confine herself to confinement when she is pregnant in October?There are maids and women around you, so how could it be possible for the master's grandfather to wait on you for confinement.
But when it was applied to Su Yan, no matter how presumptuous she said it should be, without any hesitation, she nodded, "Okay."
