Chapter 191 The Marquis Mansion Separation (1)

On the third day of March in the 29th year of Yunzhao, Chen Ruolai, the third-bedroom concubine of Pingyang Houfu, got married.

Chen Yu didn't go back to the Marquis Mansion to marry Chen Ruolai. Of course, she couldn't go to the Sun's house to attend the wedding. What did she do for the dignified Princess Ning to attend the wedding at the house of the head of the Ministry of Industry?
Chen Ruolai's biological mother, Aunt Zhou, caused her to live outside, and she didn't want to repay Chen Ruolai with virtue to support Chen Ruolai.

So what if Chen Ruolai is her sister with the same father?Could it be possible to support Chen Ruolai, what else could she benefit from?
She is not stupid, it is impossible for her to do this kind of thing that consumes her own reputation and prestige to perfect the "enemy" and does not get any benefit.

So on the day when Chen Ruolai got married, Chen Ju stayed in Prince Ning's Mansion, and she was not idle, she still had to deal with the affairs of the Prince's Mansion.

Yan Lizhou had agreed to help her handle half of the affairs, but now he has a business trip, and the affairs of the house are all in the hands of Chen Ju.

It is also impossible for her to do everything by herself. When Yan Lizhou was not in Chang'an and when she was not married into Ning Wang's mansion, the housekeeper Yun Ji and the housekeeper Yun Xiu also helped with the work. Of course she would not let him They quit.

"Princess, in ten days or so it will be the day when the seven girls of the Pingyang Houfu get married. Are you going back that day?" Yunxiu asked while reporting on her work.

Although Chen Ju doesn't give Chen Ruolai any face at all, and won't go back to the Marquis Mansion on the day she gets married, but Chen Ruoling doesn't have any enmity with her, so I don't know if she wants to go back.

"No." Chen Ju said without thinking.

She doesn't have any relationship with Chen Ruolai, does she have any relationship with Chen Ruoling?Of course it is impossible for her to go back, she can do whatever she likes.

To be honest, quite a lot of girls in the Hou Mansion got married this year. After Chen Ruolai and Chen Ruoling got married, Chen Ruoxuan got married two or three months later.

The concubine of the big house, Chen Ruoxuan, was married to a student from a poor family. Chen Ju's aunt was not too harsh on this concubine, but it wouldn't be too good.Choosing a student from a poor family for her to marry is already very good. At least the other party is said to be from a "poor family", but there are hundreds of acres of fertile land and several shops in the family from a wealthy family.

In ancient times, poor families did not mean poor people. Poor people could not afford to read books.

Just like in Chenjiacun, Chen Ju's adoptive parents are not actually from a poor family, and the whole family gritted their teeth to provide for Chen Ju's adoptive brothers to study.

As for other families, their children couldn't even afford to read books—even though the Pingyang Hou Mansion took care of the clan and built schools, there were still many families who couldn't afford their children to study.

The husband-in-law Chen Ruoxian married had hundreds of acres of fertile land and several shops. Those who could afford their children's education were called poor families.

Chen Ju didn't care about the marriage of Chen Ruolai and Chen Ruoling. The two of them were married more than ten days apart.

The population is really large, and the marriage of the two girls did not make the family spacious.

"Huh? Separation?" Chen Ju was surprised when she got the news from the Pingyang Houfu. She really didn't expect that the Houfu would have a separation day. She thought that her grandfather would separate after his death.

"Yes, both the old lady and the third wife have sent a message that you can go back and have a look, Wangfei." The servant who came over from the Pingyang Hou Mansion said respectfully.

Chen Ju nodded, "When?"

"On the twenty-seventh day." The servant replied.

"Okay, go back and tell grandma and mother that Princess Ben will be back on the twenty-seventh day." Chen Ju said.

"Yes."

*
On March [-]th, it was rare for Chen Ju to get up early. After exercising for an hour, she finished washing and dressing, and then took the carriage back to Pingyang Houfu.

When Chen Ju's carriage arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, he found two other carriages. The eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Chen Ying, and the second daughter, Chen Ran, had both returned.

Of course, regarding the separation of the Hou Mansion, the married concubine must not be eligible to come back to watch, so neither Chen Ruolai nor Chen Ruoling came back.

As for Chen Ruowei, the adopted daughter, she couldn't come back even if she wanted to. She had already gone to Maozhou with King Jin, so how could she come back to witness the separation of the Hou Mansion?

"Greetings, Concubine Ning." Chen Ying and Chen Ran, who saw Chen Ju come down, saluted obediently. Even if they were Chen Ju's cousins, they had to salute when they saw her. Who made Chen Ju a first-rank princess? ?
"Two sisters, you are safe and well." Chen Ju greeted with a smile, of course she didn't ask them to make any big salutes, just a slight bow and bow will do.

The married daughters of the third house of the Hou Mansion all came back, and then the whole family sat in the main hall of the Hou Mansion to hear how Lord Hou and his wife separated the family.

Chen Feng was very proud when he saw the children and grandchildren in the house. He was just a country farmer with mud legs, but after enlisting in the army, he went from a small soldier to the current position of marquis. He is very proud.

Of course, what he is even more proud of is that he married a virtuous wife and gave birth to so many children, all of whom are very promising.

Now that the Hou Mansion is full of descendants and has a bright future, Chen Feng is even more proud.

"I called you here today to separate the family." Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

"Separation?" Except for the big house, the other houses were very surprised. For so many years, the Hou Mansion had never talked about the separation of the family. They thought that it would be impossible before the death of Pingyang Hou Chen Feng. Split up?
Chen Feng looked at his sons and grandchildren with different expressions, and then looked at his wife beside him whose face remained unchanged, and sighed, "The tree has big branches, and the descendants of our Hou's mansion will prosper, so we will be separated."

"It's not that everyone doesn't feel it. It's too cramped for so many people living in the house. After the family is separated, everyone can live in a more spacious place."

"You don't have to worry, after the family separation, you will still be my sons and grandchildren of Chen Feng, and you will still be members of the Marquis." Chen Feng said firmly, "Of course, you can't do bad things in the name of my Marquis. "

"The Hou's Mansion has been developing well in recent years. Grandpa's property is managed by your mother and several daughters-in-law, and it is booming."

"When the family is separated, this Marquis will not treat you badly."

According to the rules of the Dayong Dynasty, when the family was divided, the eldest son inherited [-]% of the family property, and the other sons received [-]% of the remaining [-]% of the family property, and the rest were inherited by the heirs of the concubines.

Calculated in this way, there are really very few things that the bastard can inherit, but what can be done about it?The law stipulates that only those who are descended from the concubine can inherit more things, and those who are born from the concubine are not eligible to inherit too many things.

Even if the concubine's heir is recorded in the name of his aunt, he will have to pass the test when he inherits the family property in the future, and it is impossible to inherit the family property easily.

Of course, the adoptive heir is easier to inherit than the concubine. The reason why the conditions for the concubine to inherit the family property are more stringent is to protect the rights and interests of the direct heir.

This kind of law is very friendly to the main wife and concubines, but not so friendly to concubines.

This law was created by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, and after the founding of the Dayong Dynasty, it still did not change this law, even if it was harsh on the heirs of concubines, so what?The friendliness towards Lichu is enough.

The ancients valued concubines very much, and contemptuously contemptuous of concubines, so this law cannot be changed no matter what.
