Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 340
"That's right, the fifth sister married to the Yang family, not all for our third wife, but also for their second wife. Don't think I don't know what the second uncle's plan is. They can even use their own daughter, let alone the fifth sister. Father , Mother, there is nothing to say about this matter, they have to vomit some blood." Xu Lianping gritted his teeth.

Mrs. Zheng sighed: "Jiaqing's marriage is also for the sake of the second wife. She may not know it herself, but it is also used. We are her close relatives, so she will naturally be more resentful. You go make trouble at this time, she is here The Yang family has not established a stable foothold, so they should blame you even more."

"Raising her so big, it's time for her to do something." Xu Xiaoxian waved his hands unreasonably and pushed Zheng away, "I still say the same thing, it's okay to separate the family, and the shop in Kunshan will belong to me. , and Xidu, I want a big house with three entrances, a weaving workshop, and five shops."

"Father, what do you want Zhifang to do?" Xu Lianping asked, looking at him with Zheng Shi in surprise.

"A woman is a woman, and you, young and inexperienced, need more experience. What do I want the weaving workshop to do? The second brother started his career by weaving, and now it's his daughter, the fourth girl, who is the gambling house of the palace gate. She is not the number one embroiderer in the world, but she is also the best embroiderer among all the ladies, and she has won the appreciation of the queen and Mrs. Dai. In the future, we will also set up a weaving workshop, and we don't need to do anything else. Let's follow what Fang does. Isn't the fourth girl on good terms with Jiaqing, why can't she watch us starve to death and not let us hang out with her?" Xu Xiaoxian was always so logical when he talked about nonsense.

"That's right, why didn't I think of it? Jiang is still old and hot, father, that's it, when we have more money, donate an official to me." Xu Lianping laughed.

Zheng Shi looked at them and really didn't know what to say, but she was just a woman, she was used to obeying her father when she was unmarried and obeying her husband when married, if she wanted to talk, Xu Xiaoxian and Xu Lianping wouldn't listen to her.

"Haste makes waste, excess leads to lack, how can you take advantage of all the good things. In my opinion, the second brother loves face the most. If Lian Ping refuses to marry a girl from the Fang family, he will be lost in Kunshan." Face, no matter how bad words spread to the court, you will see if he will give you this, and if he doesn't kill you, it must be because you are still brothers." Zheng really couldn't bear it. Hold on, the tone is very heavy.

"That's true, Lian Ping, why don't you feel wronged and marry her. If you don't like it, when you have a good job, your father and mother will give you some beautiful and gentle concubines." Xu Xiaoxian nodded , On this point, he and Zheng's views are still the same.

Xu Lianping didn't refuse this time, and said very cooperatively: "If you marry, you can marry, and it happens that you can borrow Fang's family's financial resources to donate to an official."

"You actually agreed?" Xu Xiaoxian and Zheng Shi said in unison, their eyes widened.

"One weaving workshop, five shops, and the industry in Kunshan. There are so many good things. There is nothing to refuse." Xu Lianping seemed to see a few golden mountains, and he couldn't help having a spring and autumn dream. After entering the official career, build a shop, and a weaving workshop... Let alone a few beautiful concubines, even if Fang Xinniang is repaired, and a daughter from a famous family is married, it will definitely be successful."

After sending Xu Jiaqing away, Xu Jiatong originally wanted to go to the kitchen to make some yellow chicken and wolfberry soup, but Xu Xiaozu called him over, not only that, Mrs. Lin was even thrown away.

Xu Jiatong guessed that Xu Xiaozu must have something to say to her alone, she did not expect that so soon, she would become someone other than the Lin family that Xu Xiaozu could rely on.

"Father." Xu Jiatong blessed himself.

"Hey, come?" Xu Xiaozu was frowning and thinking, looking at her solemnly, "I really can't figure out where your third uncle is. I have decided to divide the family, but they are really worried, and they are not kind people. , what do you think should be done?"

"Shouldn't you ask Er Niang what she meant about this?" Xu Jiatong asked back.

"She has put all her heart and soul into your third sister. It seems that anyone can pick it out. These days, you can't count on her. You grew up in Xidu, and you have contacts with your third uncle and third aunt. , I want to hear what you mean." Xu Xiaozu said solemnly.

Xu Jiatong then said: "It stands to reason that the younger generation does not talk about the gains and losses of the elders, but since you have said so, I have no choice but to say so. The third uncle and the third aunt are very greedy for money and power, but they just don't have that ability themselves, so they just talk about it." You can only count on others. What's more, in the past ten years, whether you are for the purpose of brotherhood, or you want the ancestral house to be calm and add a few good grades to you, you have raised them for more than ten years .Now that you want to take everything back, wouldn’t it cut off their way of life, so how can they agree?”

"Do you want me to hand over everything?" The more Xu Xiaozu heard it, the more angry he became. He had raised the third house for many years, but he still raised the wrong one.

Xu Jiatong said with a smile: "Your words are wrong, so naturally you can't give in. As the only son of Xu's generation, you have also been granted the title of Marquis of Ding'an. You can be said to be a glorious ancestor. Now you want to record your second brother under Erniang's name. Even if you have given birth to an heir to the Xu family, and most of the properties in the ancestral house are owned by you. If you are willing to fight, who can compete with you? Who can say that you are occupying the family property?"

Xu Xiaozu changed his mind, yes, who can stop him if he wants to fight?Even if Xu Xiaoxian took some advantage in the end, he can still say that he was modest and unwilling to conflict with his younger brother.

"The third uncle has been in Kunshan for many years. Although he is not a very powerful character, he has to guard against it. You take the initiative to fight, and when you win, give him some more. Others will only say that you are very generous about brotherhood. .” Xu Jiatong laughed.

Xu Xiaozu is a face-saving person, if he really got most of the family property, for his own face, he will also allocate some to support the three households and one family.

But if it was Xu Xiaoxian, the result would probably be reversed. Xu Xiaoxian would only take everything for granted, and maybe he would even make things worse.If the winner is Xu Xiaozu, at least he won't be like this on the surface.

"It's an idea, but if I fight for it, he will definitely not let go so easily. If he makes a noise and affects the court's performance appraisal, I can't afford it." Xu Xiaozu said worriedly.

"You might as well discuss it with Steward Zhang. We will take back the shop, but we can give them some bonuses every year. This is a way to make money, not a short-sighted move. It is not impossible to persuade them with your heart." Xu Jiatong said.

"This matter is settled like this. You go back and talk to your grandmother first. As long as she agrees, the elders of the clan will not refuse." Xu Xiaozu said.

It wasn't that Xu Xiaozu didn't have no ideas before, but the Kunshan clan still had to rely on Cao's face to mediate. In this regard, his biological mother couldn't compare to it.

"I'll talk to grandma in a while." Xu Jiatong resigned, for Xu Xiaozu, she was a chess piece placed beside Cao Shi, and this chess piece is often very useful at such times.

After listening to the whole story, Mrs. Cao nodded and said: "The second brother is thinking about it this time, and if he doesn't stop, his intentions will be confused. No matter whether this method can be regarded as fair or not, we have to separate the family first. Let’s think about it in the long run. Tell him for me that the clan elders don’t need him to worry about it.”

"Grandmother, do you think the three uncles will agree to this?" Xu Jiatong has always been taboo against Xu Xiaoxian's greedy and sloppy behavior.

"The third one values ​​profits. If he doesn't agree, he can only say that the profits are not big enough. Just give him a few more. When the incident happens, they won't blame you." Mrs. Cao sighed and smiled wryly.

Xu Jiatong understood, and had to plan again. Strictly speaking, this was the first time she had handled some "big things" for Xu Xiaozu. If it was done well, there would be more opportunities to contact them in the future. Such a casual opportunity.

"How's Dai's mansion? Are you still repairing the facade?" Cao asked.

"It is said that the house is being built, but I have seen it from a distance. The repairs on the facade are still being done, and there is still a lot of fanfare. This is a bit strange. Master Dai has not appeared in front of people for so many years. Even if he is married and has children, his temper There are some changes, but it won't be like this?" Xu Jiatong asked.

"Ah Xiang hasn't come back with a letter yet, so I guess she just arrived in southern Xinjiang. When she arrives with a letter, you can rest assured." Cao said with a smile.

Xu Jiatong nodded, but did not answer. The matter of Sanfang is still a bit of a struggle, and he will have to endure it for a few more years, or even a lifetime.

It was night, at ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Jiatong changed into Bishui's clothes and left the mansion, and went straight to the Ma mansion.Although Xu Jiatong is a stupid person, no matter how stupid he is, he should be drunk.

The hustle and bustle of the day was gone in Dai's mansion, and the people at the gate also withdrew.Xu Jiatong couldn't get in through the front door, and went to the back door again, but this time he stopped without daring to approach.

In the dark alley not far away, there were a few men talking, and the faint light of the lights could be seen faintly, which was very strange in this night.Xu Jiatong quickly dodged, moved his feet quickly, and hid to the side of the wall.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's getting dark, send the last load of firewood in, and go back to eat to see my wife. Brother, this kid seems to have changed as soon as he gets married. It's okay to let him perform someday." Let's see what he's capable of." Another man said.

Suddenly, there was a crisp voice, and another man said: "It's alright, alright, I won't mess around with you. What do you think the people in Daifu want so much firewood and kerosene for? Could it be possible to start saving for the winter right now?" Firewood for heating?
"What's the use of it? People ask us to work, as long as they have money, it's enough. Besides, this company doesn't skimp at all. Could it be that the amount of money in hand is enough to make us shut up." The voice was crisp and clear. said the man.
