Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 93 Puji Temple

Mrs. Yang's face was ashen, her throat "clucked" a few times, she shook her hand and pointed at Li Tian, ​​but she couldn't speak, Second Mrs. Xu blinked her eyes again and again, this was completely out of her expectation, she couldn't react, Mrs. Liu San's eyes were wide open, her mouth was half-opened in astonishment, and she turned her head to look at her husband Li Zhongjing, only to see that Li Zhongjing also looked dumbfounded.Grandma Zhou didn't know, and she didn't care about the rules of the Li family. In the past few years since she married, the Yongguo Mansion and the Li family have not had much contact. She has long been used to the Yongguo Mansion being the Yongguo Mansion. , the Li family is another Li family, seeing the crumbling Mrs. Yang with a puzzled expression on her face, Li Xiaozu swallowed nervously, looked at his father, then at his mother, not knowing what to do.

Li Zhongzhi bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "My niece blamed me very much. It was my uncle who lost his position as the patriarch and made the ancestors uneasy. He almost missed a major event." After speaking, Li Zhongzhi turned his head to look at several clan elders, Asked respectfully: "Fourth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, look, what should we do about this?"

The three patriarchs looked at me, and I looked at you. The fourth old man was the oldest, so he had to cough a few times and said, "You are the patriarch, please bring out the charter first, and I will discuss it with your sixth and seventh uncles." .”

"There is an iron rule in the family that the concubine is not allowed to be the head of the family. The Yongguo Duke's mansion is the head of the Li family. There is no reason for the head of the family not to be the head of the house and cut off the sacrifice. Besides, it is a big event for Sister Tian's parents to sacrifice after death. What I mean is, we have to choose a suitable adoptive from the first family's direct branch to the fourth house of the Duke of Yongguo." Li Zhongzhi's words were unequivocal and evasive.

Grandma Zhou understood now, her mouth was half open, her brows were raised high, Li Xiaozu looked at Mrs. Yang anxiously, Mrs. Yang calmed down after hearing what Li Zhongzhi said, and stared fiercely at Li Tian, ​​Li Tian Eyelids lowered, veils pressed against the corners of the eyes, she stood quietly, only sobbing occasionally.

"This is reasonable, what does Zhongchao mean?" The three clan elders gave each other a wink, and the fourth elder looked at Li Zhongchao with a smile on his face and asked, before Li Zhongchao could answer, Mrs. Yang took the lead and said: "It's not his decision alone. You have to listen to the second and third masters first."

"Accession is also possible. There is a rule of adoption. The rule is that relatives are first relatives and then estrangement. The eldest brother is only one filial ancestor, and the filial ancestor is the eldest son. There is no way to adopt this. I think Xiaosong should let the two families inherit on his shoulders. "Second Master Li Zhongming was thinking ignorantly and fearlessly, Second Mrs. Xu's eyes were full of gold, and she hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, this method is the most suitable. If it is adopted, how can it be more suitable than our Xiaosong?" "

The third master, Li Zhongjing, frowned and was about to speak, but Mrs. Liu San pulled him. Li Zhongjing turned her head to look at Mrs. Liu, and then swallowed back the words. Looking at it like this, Sifang must be going to be an adoptive person. In the future, the mansion will not know how difficult it will be. Sifang will have an heir, and it is Wu Nizi's decision. She will definitely help him in the future. Come on, we have to find a way to separate early.

"Things that don't make progress!" The fourth old master glared at Li Zhongming and scolded: "Your surname is Li, and you don't know the Li clan rules? Your first cousin just said clearly that this adoption is for your long family succession. If the son of a concubine If you can inherit the family, you still need to adopt it?"

"Brother Song is a legitimate son!" Mrs. Xu's second wife was so clumsy and incomparable, she pricked her neck and argued. The fourth old lady glared at her angrily, but the sixth old lady laughed and patted the fourth old lady. Said: "She is a stupid woman, please ignore her."

"These are all sincere plans for the eldest house." Li Zhongchao glanced at Li Tian, ​​then looked back at his son, and said in a tired and low voice: "Fourth brother should have adopted a son long ago, it is my fault, this person, you Let's pick someone who is sensible."

"Back then, the old lady gave the Duke of Yongguo's mansion to Sister Jing as a dowry. This adoption is adoption, and there must be an explanation from the higher-ups." Mrs. Liu San couldn't help shouting, Li Zhongzhi frowned, and the seventh old master called Haha said: "The discussion today is about adoption. As for the division of property, that is a matter of family division in the future. How to divide the family is a matter for your brothers. This cannot be discussed today."

"Uncle Seven is right." Li Zhongzhi took over the words and said, "Since everyone feels that adoption is imperative, this matter is considered settled." Li Zhongzhi pondered for a moment, looked at the three elders and said, "This is the person who adopted him." , you have to choose carefully."

"It's all a matter of rules, and there's nothing to choose. It's just kissing first and then estrangement. If you want to talk about kissing, your father is the younger brother of the old Yong Guogong. You are the closest and closest. You are the eldest son. Choose from your family, Xiao An is the eldest son, then Xiao Ning." The fourth old man was straightforward, the sixth old man and the seventh old man nodded in agreement, this is not a good thing to adopt the Duke of Yongguo, and there is no title when you come to adopt. Secondly, the Yongguo Mansion has been emptied for a long time. No one in the family knows that although the Li family is not famous, they are all living a prosperous life, especially the old masters, whose lives are better than that of the Yongguo Mansion. , and do not intend to let the children and grandchildren adopt.

Li Zhongzhi didn't say yes or no, he turned to look at Li Tian and said softly, "What do you mean by sister Tian?" Li Tian bent his knees and said, "Tian'er listens to Weng Weng and Tang Bo's arrangement."

"En." Li Zhongzhi agreed, and looked back at Li Zhongchao. Li Zhongchao bowed his head. Mrs. Yang swept the crowd angrily. I have thought hard and spent countless silver coins, all of which are worthless!Madam Yang jumped up suddenly, rushed over to overturn the tribute table, turned around and rushed into the inner courtyard.

"Aniang!" Li Xiaozu yelled in horror, and hurriedly chased after him. Grandma Zhou also hurriedly chased after Li Xiaozu. Li Tian glanced coldly at Mrs. Yang, who was furious and lost her composure, and lowered her eyes again. Seeing Mrs. Yang violently lift the table, blinked her eyes, and exhaled lightly, the Seventh Old Master took a look at the Sixth Old Master, and the two shook their heads together.

The adoption of the Fourth Household of the Yongguo Mansion was settled so simply. Li Zhongzhi's second son, Li Xiaoning, and his wife were removed from Li Zhongzhi's house and transferred to the Yongguo Mansion. sister-in-law.

Mrs. Yang held on to that tone, transferred her family name, and became a member of the Yongguo Mansion, but was firmly refused by Mrs. Yang from outside the Yongguo Mansion. House heirs, if you want to live, go to Qingtong Courtyard.

Li Tian leaned on the couch in the upper room of the Qingtong Courtyard, squinting his eyes and listening to Yin Hua talking about how Mrs. Yang drove out Li Xiaoning who came to pay her respects, and how the servants in the mansion talked about it. After Yin Hua finished talking in detail , bowed his head and grabbed the agate beads on the corner of the handkerchief and thought for a while, then looked at Yinhua and said: "The third room passed the conversation, just say what I said, since there is no separation, each room should be handed over to the public office." If you want, you can’t lose even a penny.” Yin Hua smiled and bent her knees to agree, looking at Li Tian, ​​waiting for her to give her instructions, Li Tian glanced at her and said with a smile: “Don’t worry about the second room, the third room and the first room. Mention, the second room must agree, by the way, Grandma Zhou also said the same thing, elder brother received a repair job in the store, I don't believe that grandma is willing to take out the proceeds of elder brother."

Mrs. Liu San stood in front of the window, flapping the round fan in her hand very agitatedly. It's already September, why are you still so irritable?It was so stuffy that people couldn't breathe, Mrs. Liu San turned around and left the upper room, stood on the porch, slightly raised her head to look at the gray sky in the distance, the girl in Qingtong Courtyard was like an old lady who came back to life, thinking of the old lady who had passed away for many years Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Liu San couldn't help shivering. That Mrs. Ning who wore a gentle smile all day long, spoke softly and modestly, and never lost her temper, was just like that. Let the whole house, starting from the old man, shiver and dare not make a sound.

That girl said that all the money that should be paid by each house must be handed over to the public. After she said it, she would definitely not be able to escape. Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu San felt choked up again, anxious, frightened, and worried. Angry and uneasy, I can't tell what it feels like. The three of them have had a better life in the past few years. The third master earns two or three thousand taels of silver a year, and has saved a small ten thousand taels of silver in the past few years. The son was really cruel and had to be handed over to the public. Now that Sifang has an heir, this heir is what she wants to adopt and is also the one she has chosen. Naturally, she has to plan for Sifang. I mentioned it, a bunch of prodigal sons, this really speaks for itself, except for my own house, everyone in this mansion is very willing and tenacious!

The shop management of the third master's building was done by him with all his efforts, and he took out the dowry money to manage it. In the past few years, the third master has been with him with so much care and thought, how can there be any help in this mansion?It would be good if you don't hold back, why should you distribute the money earned by your family to those who have not done anything?Mrs. Liu San's heart was about to bleed, no way!Can't let them divide their own money, this family, it's time to divide it!
Mrs. Liu San subconsciously turned around and looked at the courtyard where she had lived for more than ten years. After the family was separated, the family had to move out and move out!Mrs. Liu San withdrew her eyes fiercely. It's okay to move out. She has long wanted to set up a Zhuangzi, buy a shop to start a small business, and move out to let her hands and feet go. There are only benefits!This mansion has been so ruined, there is no help, what is there to be reluctant to part with?
Mrs. Liu San made up her mind, the round fan in her hand was shaking again and again, she thought about it carefully, and asked someone to bring a few boxes of small snacks bought outside, after thinking about it, she brought a few sticks of fresh ones Silk flower, walked out of the courtyard gate along the Chaoshou veranda, and went to the second room unhurriedly.

The Second Mrs. Xu picked up the Third Mrs. Liu and went in. Before she could sit still, the Second Mrs. Xu beamed excitedly and said, "Look, she won't jump this time, she has a stepson in the fourth room! It's pleasing to the eye, it deserves it! Just watch, it will be lively in the future." Mrs. Liu San looked contemptuously at Mrs. Xu from the corner of her eyes, pressed the corner of her mouth with a veil hurriedly to cover up, sighed, and looked at Mrs. Xu Worryingly said: "I was worrying about this matter, so I came here to talk to my second sister-in-law."

"Sorrow? Why are you worried?" Second Mrs. Xu, who was enjoying Mrs. Yang's unhappiness, said with disapproval after hearing what Mrs. Liu Third said.

"How can I not worry? I don't have such good fortune as you. The marriage of the two daughters is settled, and the dowry is prepared so well!" Mrs. Liu San looked envious, and Mrs. Xu's brows kept flying: "No, my sister Tang is lucky!"

"Alas." Mrs. Liu San sighed in annoyance: "You don't have to worry about it anymore. I can't sleep because of this worry. Our family is not well-off, and we have added another family. We can compare the four stepchildren. No, think about it, firstly, the four rooms are supported by the lady of Qingtongyuan, secondly, he is the son of the patriarch's direct relative, it's not like you don't know how the family is doing, it's much better than our family's Now, this is willing to adopt him, so kind, just to inherit the fireworks? Who are you lying to, it’s no good, they are willing to give such a big son to our family for nothing? "

"That's true." Second Mrs. Xu agreed very much: "Who will do things that are not beneficial?"

"That's right, what benefits do you think our family can gain? Now that the eldest brother is sitting firmly in the title, and the filial ancestor has established a son, there is no need to think about this one. Apart from this, what benefits can it have? Isn't it? I have taken a fancy to the family property of our mansion, just watch it, I will put the words here, the successor will enter the door, and within a year or two, the mansion will be emptied by him, even the brave The Duke's Mansion has to be sold!" Mrs. Liu San frowned, "You're all right, both daughters are married, and I'm still a big family, I'm afraid I'll have to beg for food!"

"Sister Tang is married, and there is Brother Song. This is not going to work. If he dares to plot the family property, I will never end with him!" Mrs. Xu cried anxiously, and Mrs. Liu glanced at her and sighed: "Can you What's the matter? Making trouble in the clan? Don't forget, that's the patriarch's own son. Why are you making trouble? Going to the Yamen to file a lawsuit? That." Mrs. Liu San pointed in the direction of Qingtongyuan: "Even the Dongyang County Prince's Mansion is handed over to her. Well, can you win this case?"

"Then what should we do? Just watch him take our things away?" Mrs. Xu thought for a long time in a daze, and finally turned the corner. She dared to take away all her things as soon as her step-son came. up!
