Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 493

There was no sound in the room, except for the sound of the night wind blowing against the window lattice.

Zhao Jia's expression was stunned, his arms trembled slightly, and he reached out to support the Huanghuali high-waisted carved kang table in front of him, with his mouth open enough to stuff a chicken into it.She only felt that her brain was buzzing, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

After all, it was mentioned today, Li Shi and Chu Yu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with helplessness.

Jinghui lowered her head even lower, holding a handkerchief, bowing her head.Although it was only half a month after she married, she also saw that her mother-in-law was not good-natured, and her words were too hurtful.

Ruhui couldn't react, and wondered if she had heard it wrong.She raised her head, looked at her mother-in-law Zhao Jia, and then at Li, and was also affected by the heavy atmosphere of the crowd, and the smile disappeared on her face.

Although the mother-in-law made a lot of noise, but now the children of the second room are still young, and there is no one who can head the family, so why do you mention the "separation"?

Is my second uncle too reckless?
The fourth sister, the fifth son and the younger ones, although they are not sensible yet, can see that the adults are not looking good, so they all keep their mouths shut and stop playing mischievously.

Outside the screen, Cao Yin heard Cao Song's words, turned his head and looked at Cao Song.Seeing his nephew sad and depressed, his eyes dimmed, he felt a little bit unbearable.

On the ground floor is a large round table with iron surface, Cao Yin is sitting in the middle, Cao Yong, Cao Shuo, Cao Fu are on the left, Cao Song and Cao Xiang are on the right.

Following the voice, Cao Song got up from his seat, looked up at Cao Yin, then at Cao Yong, with a smile that was uglier than crying.

He picked up the front of his clothes, knelt down towards Cao Yin, and said: "During the past few years when my father passed away, Uncle Duomeng took care of us, making Uncle and Aunt bothersome, and my nephew kowtowed to Uncle and Aunt on behalf of his mother and brothers and sisters." At this point, I heard the sound of "dongdong", and I have kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing, he turned to face north again, and kowtowed to Mrs. Li three times across the screen.

Cao Song had already knelt down, and the Cao Shuo brothers stood up wherever they could still sit.

Although these young people were still a little confused about the word "separate family" that Cao Song said, with a bit of confusion on their faces, but they all knelt down with their elder brother in action.

"What is this for? Get up quickly?" Cao Yin looked at the heads all over the floor, remembered his brother who passed away, and stood up, trying to help his nephews up.

Cao Yong stood beside Cao Yin, frowning and looking at the pained look on Cao Song's face, feeling a little regretful in his heart.It shouldn't be estimated that there are too many scruples, conniving Zhao Jia's like this, making my brother so embarrassed now.

However, I have to say that the word "separation" came out of Cao Song's mouth, which is the most appropriate.

Cao Yong is above Cao Yin. Even if Cao Yin has to deal with family affairs, he must take into account the public opinion, otherwise he will bear the reputation of "unrighteousness" if he bullies "orphans and widows".

Cao Yong said before that he was troubled by Zhao Jia's family and told his father to separate the family, but he also wanted to persuade Cao Song to speak up.

Now it's useless for Cao Song to say anything else, so he took the initiative to mention this matter, but Cao Yong couldn't relax.I just feel heavy in my heart and don't know what to say.

The maid outside the door was already waiting for the banquet to start, and no one dared to come in when they heard something was wrong in the room.

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and asked the maidservant to lead the fourth and fifth sisters out, and Tianyou and Hang Sheng also carried her down.And quietly ordered the maids outside to let them leave the upper room first.

None of the servants who were waiting in the house were left behind, and all of them were sent out.

Zhao Jia stared at Chu Yu fiercely, his face was cloudy and unpredictable.

Chu Yu didn't look at her, but stood by the kang, paying attention to the movement outside the screen.Jing Hui and Ru Hui also got up and stood beside Zhao Jia.

Although Chu Yu usually looked good-tempered, she kept her face sullen without saying a word, with a bit of royal majesty.Zhao Jia stared at him for a few moments, curled his lips, and looked away reluctantly.

Jinghui looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, her expression remained unchanged, but she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

Ever since she knew that Zhao Jia's power was spreading in the West Mansion, her husband hadn't slept well for two nights, and couldn't help but sigh when he woke up in the middle of the night.

As early as when Jinghui first entered the house, Cao Song told all about the care of her elder brother and sister-in-law all these years, and repeatedly told Jinghui to respect her elder brother and sister-in-law more in the future.

Although he is not a sibling brother, his husband treats his cousin as a brother and sister. Now he is the one who suffers the most when he says "separate family".

Ruhui was overwhelmed by Chuyu's aura, she never thought that this always gentle cousin would still be so solemn.But that's right, even though she is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, after all she is a princely man, and the preciousness in her bones cannot be erased.

For a moment, Ruhui felt a little ashamed.

She stood at the bottom of Jinghui, lowered her head, and wondered if she had been rude to others these days.

In the house, there were only two masters left, and the atmosphere in the house became more and more depressing.

Mrs. Li was in the screen, listening to the sound of "dongdong" kowtow, she couldn't bear it, she shook her head and sighed: "What are you talking about, what are you talking about..."

Zhao Jia's face was pale, he stared at the screen, his body trembled a little, and the plain ear pliers on his ears trembled accordingly.

She took a long breath and said sharply: "Second, do you still see me? I haven't died yet, when will you take over the second bedroom's house?"

Cao Song knelt beside the screen, as if he had never heard of it, raised his head, looked at Cao Yin, and said, "Uncle, now that my nephew is also married, I really don't have the face to bother my uncle and elder brother to worry about it. Let's separate, nephew." My son should also take on some responsibilities, and ask my uncle to fulfill my nephew's filial piety!"

Cao Yin had already walked up to him, leaned over and took his arm, and said: "Get up first, if you have anything to say, get up and talk!"

Cao Song didn't move at all, and raised his head and said, "Uncle, my nephew knows that my uncle loves us, but my nephew also wants to experience and experience, and I can support the family as soon as possible after we split up. It's better than relying on my uncle and elder brother to live like this all the time."

Cao Yin pondered, before he could say anything, he heard Ruhui say from the screen: "Ma'am?"

Zhao Jiashi stroked his chest, gasping for breath, looking very angry.

Hearing that the eldest son was "dividing the family" one by one, she couldn't bear it anymore, she got off the kang all at once, let go of the screen with a "da da", looked at Cao Song and scolded: "You are under the new year, what kind of smoke do you have?" Crazy? What are you talking about, why don’t you shut up!”

Cao Yin frowned when he saw Zhao Jia approaching with a ferocious face, and told Cao Yong and Cao Shuo to close the screen on the ground.

Cao Song was still kneeling on the ground, looked at Zhao Jia and said, "Isn't the division of the family just what mother wants? In the future, there will be no need for quarrels, and mother can discipline our brothers well."

"Fart!" Zhao Jia blushed, pointed at Cao Song and said, "Who...who thought about splitting up the family...Your brothers are still young, and you need your uncle and your elder brother to teach you what to divide the family from." ? What are you talking about... no distinction!"

Because she was anxious, her words were a little awkward.

Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang looked at each other in blank dismay, they really couldn't figure out why their elder brother had a sudden seizure.

Cao Fu had a smart mind, seeing his cousin kept silent and his sister-in-law smiling casually, he felt a little scared.

He walked quickly to Cao Yin's side, pulled Cao Yin's sleeve, and said in a tearful voice, "Uncle...uncle...don't you care about us..."

Cao Yin looked at his little nephew, who was already below his ear, and saw that his face was terrified, with a bit of warmth on his face, and said: "Silly boy, don't cry, your brother just said that the family is separated. It is the separation of the family." Aren't you still my nephew?" At the end, he made up his mind.

For the care of his nephews, he will still do what he can, but "home and everything will prosper" is the old man's principle.

It's hard work for my son to support the family, but it's really hard work when I get home and stop making noise.

As a father, he couldn't protect his son and wanted his son to take care of everything. He was already ashamed.Why bother to make your son exhausted for the sake of fame.

God knows what you did.

Even if the family is separated, Cao Song and the others are still his nephews, so it is natural that they should take care of them.Even if he goes underground, he will not be ashamed of his brother.

Cao Fu listened to Cao Yin's words and had no room for change, turned his head, looked at Li Shi, and murmured: "Uncle..."

Seeing Cao Fu's sadness, Mrs. Li felt unhappy.But looking at her son and daughter-in-law who had been silent all this time, she just blushed, sighed, and didn't say anything else.

Zhao Jia's family is not a fool. Cao Song's claim of "separation" does not count, but Cao Yin's mouth "separation" is unquestionable.

She couldn't stand still, she shook her body and almost staggered.

Cao Shuo was right behind her. Seeing that her mother was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Zhao Jia looked at Cao Yin, then at Li Shi, and babbled, but didn't know what to say.

Cao Song on the ground, when he heard that Cao Yin was relieved, he let out a long breath, bowed his head solemnly, and said: "My nephew thanked my uncle for fulfilling my wish. My nephew has nothing to ask for. How to divide the family...is up to my uncle's arrangement..."

Cao Yin felt a little heavy in his heart, nodded, and said: "Understood, after the fifteenth day, please invite your father-in-law and uncle to come and be middlemen!"

Since ancient times, the division of families between brothers is mostly witnessed by the mother's family or the head of the same family.

Although it now involves the separation of the long house and the second house, Cao Quan has passed away, and the father of Cao Yin's uncle, Sun Wenqi, has passed away many years ago.Although there is still Sun Wenqi, but he is far away in Hangzhou, and he is beyond his reach.

Cao Song's father-in-law is exactly what Fu Nai said.

Although Jinghui didn't change her surname, but before she got married, Ergenjueluo told her to change it, thinking that her daughter was getting married.

Fu Nai is the uncle of the Cao family, so it is considered cheap to come to testify to the separation of the two families.

As for the other middleman, Zhao Jia's elder brother Murtai was invited to go, for the sake of justice and to save tongue.

"Yes! My nephew understands!" Cao Song responded.

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, pulled him up and patted him on the shoulder.Cao Song smiled, but couldn't see the joy.

It only took a while, and the matter of the separation of the family was settled like this, Zhao Jia was still in a dream, and he couldn't believe it.

There was a sound of watchmen outside, it was already the second watch.

Mrs. Li coughed lightly, and said: "Master, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later in the year. It's getting late, let's start the banquet first!"

Cao Yin nodded, and said to Cao Shuo, "Help your mother to sit down." Then, he patted the back of Cao Fu's hand, and said, "Let's sit down too, everyone is tired after working for half a day, let's eat first!"

Mrs. Zhao Jia was helped to the side of the kang, her expression was numb, and she was speechless.

How could it be like this, how could the New Year's Eve be involved in "separation"?

Zhao Jia was inexplicably astonished, looking at the solemn Chu Yu across the way, she felt a little fear in her heart.Could it be that because she beat her adopted son, she urged everyone to "separate the family"?
No matter how majestic he was usually, Zhao Jia felt very sad at this moment.

Until now, she has to admit that the second room has always been attached to the head room all these years, whether it's human relations, food, clothing, chewing, and use, she doesn't need to bother at all...

The folded screen was not opened again, since they were all relatives anyway.

Seeing that the room was silent, Chu Yu went outside and ordered the maids and women to open the banquet.

Because it was too late, Tianyou and Hang Seng brothers couldn't bear it anymore, they had already slept in the east room.Even the fourth sister and the fifth son are also breathless.

Even though they were young, they could still feel that the atmosphere was not right. Both of them covered their mouths with their small hands, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that the matter of "separation" was a foregone conclusion, Mrs. Zhao Jia gradually calmed down, raised the corners of her mouth, and said nothing more.

It's really "eat without talking, sleep without talking", the rich dishes on the table, when delivered to the mouth, taste like chewing wax.Everyone lost their appetite for this meal.

Although the fireworks had been prepared, whoever was in the mood to set them off asked the servants to set off firecrackers outside the gate.

With the sound of firecrackers, the new year is here...

It wasn't until he returned to the East Mansion that Zhao Jia finally gathered his strength, slapped Cao Song a few times, and said with a sneer, "You idiot, what do you think we can share? Anyway, the bead field in the south will be divided...
