As soon as they heard that the family was going to be separated, Prince Yi and Murong Lanzhou exchanged glances, but then sat back down heavily.

Fang Wuniang even pricked up her ears, listening to the movement here.

Chen Yuejiao was good at wringing the handkerchief, feeling as if her heart was overwhelmed. ——Now she really made a wrong step, every step was wrong.Originally thought that because Long Xiangye was his own mother, he would give Du Hengshuang two heads, even if Xiao Shiji wanted to help Du Hengshuang, he would not be able to say that in front of outsiders.Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiji followed Xiao Shiji's wishes and asked him to borrow the donkey from the slope to pierce the abscess more than ten years in advance...

Chen Yuejiao knew Xiao Shiji well.

In front of everyone, favoring his wife, giving his mother a cold face, he can't do such a thing.If he does this, he will be charged with a resounding "unfilial" charge, ruining all his official careers.But Xiao Shiji was high-minded and focused on climbing up, so he paid special attention to this aspect, and he would never do things like giving others a handle.

It's just that Xiao Shiji's mind is introverted, Chen Yuejiao, whether it's Du Heng or Chen Yuejiao, even if she knows what his goal is, she still can't figure out what Xiao Shiji is thinking.

After living for two lifetimes, Xiao Shiji is still just a back in front of her across the mountains and water, allowing her to look at him from a distance, but she always thinks that when he approaches him, he has dipped his foot in muddy water, I can't even wash it clean.

Of course, Du Hengshuang was not as entangled and uncomfortable as Chen Yuejiao. In her eyes, Xiao Shiji was the most clear and clear person. She only looked at Xiao Shiji's beautiful profile and smiled slightly, shaking her head slightly, and said, "What are you talking about, second brother?" ? Your elder brother didn't mean that."

Xiao Shiji really pushed back the transfer deed of the shop.Smiling and patted Xiao Taiji on the shoulder, "Did you hear what your sister-in-law said? The second brother really thinks too much. Mother is still there, so why do you want to separate the family? Don't worry about mother and her old man's heart? Besides, I am the eldest son, and I will take care of you. Mother is what it should be. You are the youngest son and live in your elder brother's house. Who dares to show you face? Even your sister-in-law, I can vouch for it. I treat you like a younger brother. Forget that when we were young, our family Wealth was swallowed up by others, the poor couldn’t get rid of the pot, you were crying from hunger, it was your sister-in-law who brought the servants and money to save our lives.”

Du Hengshuang was still young at that time.But already quite proud, he brought the servants of the Du family to the temporary rented place of the Xiao family, and ordered the servants of the Du family to beat up his second uncle Xiao Ruisheng who came to take advantage of him so that he couldn't get out of bed.

At that time, the Xiao family only had women and children, and without the help of the Du family, the young Xiao Taiji and Xiao Yanran might not have survived.

Xiao Taiji hurriedly said: "I remember. At that time, my sister-in-law brought someone over and cooked us a delicious meal. I have never eaten such delicious food in all these years." After speaking, he giggled He leaned closer to Du Hengshuang's side.Putting on the posture of a brother and begging: "Sister-in-law came in, cook us the dishes from that time again, let me taste the taste again."

Xiao Shiji walked over, stopped between Du Hengshuang and Xiao Taiji, put his arms around Xiao Taiji's shoulders and said, "If you want to live with us, you can live with us for the rest of your life. My nephew and niece live with us too." Being together is the only way to be close. As for these two shops, you don't need to be too polite. When you get married, the gift from your brother is too simple. After your sister-in-law found out, she still resented me for not being generous and neglecting my second brother and my brother. Second brother and sister. This time, when the shop at home is changing its name, your sister-in-law asked me to give these two shops to you and your second brother and sister. Even if you move out in the future, you will have enough food and clothing with these two shops of."

"There is also the third younger sister. Of course, I, the eldest brother, will marry me. Once the dowry comes to accompany the room, I don't have to worry about my mother and second brother." Xiao Shiji turned his head and looked at Long Xiangye, who had been standing behind Long Xiangye with his head down. Xiao Yanran spoke.

Xiao Yanran is the youngest daughter of Long Xiangye and Xiao Xiangsheng, she has always been afraid of her eldest brother Xiao Shiji, and has the best relationship with her second brother Xiao Taiji.Now that she hears the second brother fighting with the eldest brother, she is also alert, knowing that it is wrong to help anyone, she just bowed her head and said nothing.

After Xiao Shiji said these words, Long Xiangye and Guan Yunlian were still tasting the meaning, but Xiao Taiji and Chen Yuejiao were already pale.

No wonder Xiao Shiji didn't admit the need to divide the family, because in his opinion, there is no family to divide at all!

The entire Xiao family belongs to him, Xiao Shiji!What kind of home is there!

Talking like this is even more vicious than agreeing to separate the family.

According to Xiao Shiji, Xiao Tai and his family lived in "the elder brother's house", not in Xiao's house, but poor relatives living under the fence.They are willing to live, and Xiao Shiji can afford to support them.But if Xiao Shiji wanted them to leave, he would leave the house without leaving the house, and he couldn't take a straw with him.

Not only that, Xiao Shiji also pretended to be in front of everyone, and blocked Xiao Taiji's mouth with two shops.

Compared with the huge wealth of the Xiao family, these two shops are not even a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Taiji has been hanging out with the big shopkeeper of the Xiao family for the past few years, and he knows exactly how much money the Xiao family's shop has.

The two shops just wanted to get rid of themselves, and this calculation was too smart.

Xiao Taiji clenched his fist in the sleeve, then let it go lightly, and suppressed the breath rising to his throat.

When my father passed away, I was still young, and I knew early in the morning that the elder brother and the weaker brother were at a disadvantage in the fight for property.He also made a plan to lose money, not half, but [-]% is also good.After all, the eldest brother is old and the eldest son, so he is willing to share more with the eldest brother.

It just never occurred to him that his filial and amiable eldest brother, who has been silent and filial, would actually have the idea of ​​monopolizing the family wealth.Now that the elder brother married Du Hengshuang again, with such a big backer from the Xu family, he naturally wanted to wipe out his house.

Xiao Taiji was young after all, not as sophisticated as Xiao Shiji had experienced outside, the expression on his face was already showing, he immediately lowered his head, took the shop transfer deed to Long Xiangye, and presented the deed to Long Xiangye , smiled and said: "Mother, the son follows the mother, so there is no need for these. These two shops should be kept by the mother. It is enough for the son to take care of the mother."

Long Xiangye felt that his youngest son was more caring, so he pushed the deed paper back, and said with a smile: "Your elder brother's kindness. You can keep it. Together with your elder brother, we will work together, and our Xiao family will prosper. No, it’s no worse than other families. ——Our Xiao family is just you two brothers, what kind of family is divided? Don’t worry, even if I’m gone, I’ll leave my words here, and our Xiao family will never separate! "

It's really majestic.Just like the emperor swiped his pen in the previous dynasty, the decree "never add gifts" is as loud as it sounds.

After hearing this, King Yi Jun couldn't help it for a while, and laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled.

Xu Shao couldn't help it either, coughed lightly, and said "Excuse me".Walking out of the nave, standing under the verandah, looking at August's courtyard in a trance.

Fang Wuniang raised her eyebrows high, and said in surprise: "Sister Long, you can't talk nonsense."

Long Xiangye swallowed Changhong angrily just now, and her anger was still there.Still able to hold on, asked solemnly: "Sister Fang, where am I talking nonsense? Every sentence of my words has a source, and each word has a source. May I ask you where I am talking nonsense?"

Fang Wuniang flicked the silk veil in her hand, creating moon-white ripples, squinting her eyes and smiling, "Sister Long, may I ask what you said. Where did it come from?"

Long Xiangye knew that what Fang Wuniang asked was "never separate", so she smiled and said, "Sister Fang. If you don't know how to read and write, you naturally don't understand. ——Heaven and earth monarchs, relatives and teachers, are the five constants of human relations, and they are the children and grandchildren of the world. The rules must be followed. For Shiji, Taiji, Yanran, Shuang'er and Lian'er, I am their 'family', and what I say is ethics and rules. They want to recognize me as a mother Naturally, it must be obeyed." The implication is that she said "never separate the family", which is naturally the same as the imperial decree, and her children and grandchildren must abide by it, otherwise it is unfilial and unworthy to be a descendant.

Fang Wuniang became even more amused, she leaned over the Eight Immortals table beside her, and asked with a smile: "My lord, are you right or wrong about what Sister Long said?"

King Yijun laughed, and took a sip of tea while laughing, "This is Shiji's housework, and it's inconvenient for me to talk." As he said it was inconvenient for him to speak, his eyebrows trembled wildly, obviously disapproving.

Murong Lanzhou smiled, and said with a dignified smile: "This is a bit out of line."

Long Xiangye's face was suffocated, and she asked respectfully, "What advice does Miss Murong have for you?"

Murong Lanzhou rested a jade hand on the mahogany tabletop, knocked on the table with onion-like fingertips, and issued a golden and jade-like voice, "Mrs. Xiao, Your Majesty issued an imperial decree not long ago, stating that the elders in the family passed away. Those who have two or more sons must separate their property.” That is to say, after Long Xiangye’s death, Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taihe wanted to separate their families even if they didn’t want to, otherwise they would be going against the court’s regulations.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly laughed and said: "Mother is in good health, so you don't have to think about things so far away. We are all relatives, why bother to talk about these hurtful things? -Second brother, people say that an elder brother is like a father, since you call me Brother, I will not leave you alone. You can rest assured."

Fang Wuniang made up her mind, stood up and said: "Shiji is a filial child, Sister Long, you are blessed, sons and daughters are filial, you must cherish blessings, otherwise you will toss around every day, and you will lose all your blessings. Why bother? The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, when Shi Ji was a child, you loved him so much, why don’t you want to think about him now?"

What she said made Long Xiangye feel a little guilty, she glanced at Xiao Shiji, saw him bowing his head uncomfortably, recalled the time when he was in her arms when he was a child, her heart softened, and she didn't continue talking, just said: " There is also this rule, which I don’t know. Anyway, if I live for a day, you brothers will live a good life together, and when I kick my legs away, you can make troubles as you like. —— Shiji is the eldest brother, so he must not I will treat my younger brothers and sisters badly. It is impossible for the Xiao family’s wealth to be divided equally between the two younger ones. Why don’t I make the decision now, the eldest will get half, and the rest will be shared equally, and one part will be given to Brother Tai. , give Yanran a copy. The prince is here today, why don't you be a witness?"

King Yi was suffocated, and said with a smile: "This is your Xiao family's housework, and I won't get involved. It's getting late, and there are still things to do in the palace, so I'll leave first." Saying this, he lifted Murong Lan Zhou's hand turned to Xiao Shiji and said: "You just got married, I'll give you a ten-year marriage leave, is that enough?"

One ten days is fifteen days, Xiao Shiji was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I have settled my home, and I will go to the palace to work as an errand."

Prince Yi nodded in satisfaction, "You should arrange it well. There will be a lot of things to do in the Palace this year and next year. The earlier you finish your family affairs, the better you can help out in the Palace earlier."

At the end of this year, the crown prince will get married, and in March next year, the king of Yijun will get married. In the palace, Emperor Yongchang has welcomed several new noble daughters, who will also be canonized.Some of the noble girls were sent in by King Yi's faction, and the contacts inside and outside the palace were all handled by Xiao Shiji. If he was not around, many things would be disconnected.

Xiao Shiji naturally knew the importance, and hurriedly said: "Ten days is enough. I will return to the palace after ten days."

Sending off King Yi and Murong Lanzhou, Xiao Shiji took advantage of the time when Xu Shao and Fang Wuniang hadn't left, and hurriedly said: "There is one more thing today, which is the name change of the shop just mentioned."

Both Xiao Taiji and Chen Yuejiao pricked up their ears, and even Long Xiangye looked at Xiao Shiji in a daze.

"I'm an official now, so it's not good for me to do business anymore. It's okay to have the sacrifices to Tianzhuangzi under my name, but it's really inappropriate to have my name on the shop that does business. The prince has already told me a few times before. Once, now that I couldn't drag it on any longer, I changed it to Shuang'er's name. She is now the patriarchal wife of our Xiao family, and these shops bearing her name will neither affect me as an official nor the ancestral hall of the Xiao family. Benefits, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

Hearing this, Xiao Taiji tightened his hand holding Long Xiangye's arm, making Long Xiangye shiver in pain, and stared at Xiao Taiji with straight eyes.

This is a matter between the Xiao family and the Du family, so Xu Shao couldn't interrupt, so he took a step back with a smile and let Fang Wuniang talk to Xiao Shiji.

Sure enough, Fang Wuniang clapped her hands and applauded, her big eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she tried her best to tell Du Hengshuang, "Be careful with your business, and ask the shopkeeper if you don't understand. If there is something you can't explain, come to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to ask for favors. Don't bite the bullet and carry it by yourself, do you hear me?"

The tension in Xu Shao's whole body relaxed, and he endorsed Fang Wuniang, "Your mother is right. Shuang'er, you are too out of touch, and you have never asked me for anything. This time, Shiji's shop is under your name. Next, it's not your business alone, you must take good care of it, and if someone finds fault, report me as the name of Jingzhao Yin's residence."

Long Xiangye heard that it was not going well, and she drooped her eyelids and said: "Our Xiao family has a prince's house to look after it, so don't bother Jing Zhaoyin's house."

Xu Shao knew that it was impossible to use the signboard of King Yi, so he looked at Xiao Shiji but smiled silently.

Xiao Shiji looked indifferent, looking at Du Hengshuang, a smile emerged from the bottom of his eyes, almost overflowing, "Anyway, Shuang'er is in charge, and she can make the decisions."
