Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 499 The Prologue of the Dragon Dance
There was silence in the ancestral hall. Although Cao Yin had thought that Zhao Jia's Xu would have some troubles before, he never thought that she would open the dim sum shop.

The shops in Daoxiang Village are not on the public account, and there is no room for separation.Now, it seems that the property that is not in the public is brought up, but it seems that the long house is hiding it.

After Zhao Jia finished speaking, he licked his temples and watched the reactions of Cao Yin and Cao Yong and his son with his eyes.

Cao Yin's expression was a little stiff, Cao Yong frowned slightly, and then stretched out.

Not to mention the reactions of the members of the Cao family, but Fu Nai and Murtai felt that something was wrong after hearing Zhao Jia's words.

The business in Daoxiang Village is good, and the brand is now resounding, but no one knows that it is the business of the eldest daughter-in-law of Cao's family, Chunjun Prince's Mansion.

When the family is separated, the property of the ancestors and the public are divided, and the dowry and private property of the nephew and daughter-in-law are not going to the public.

Fu Nai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was looking at the orphans and widows on his in-laws' side, thinking about helping them out.This... Now it seems that there is no need for him to worry about it. To be such a good person, this mother-in-law is very calculating.

Murtai sighed in his heart, it seems that he went to the East Mansion just now and said for nothing, the girl is too blind.Even if you are thinking about money, you should know what you can mention and what you cannot.

Besides, Cao Yin's division method is very appropriate, and there is no mistreatment of the second room.

It's just that the Cao family is a branch after all, and he and Fu Nai are just witnesses, so it's not easy to interrupt.

Cao Yin glanced at his son, and seeing his calm appearance, he couldn't help but sighed.

Although the son is not close to this aunt, he is usually considered obedient, and he has nothing to say about his cousins.Zhao Jia's scheming is probably going to annoy him.

As he gets older, he will have to rely on his son to take care of his nephews in the second room in the future.

Cao Yin didn't want to hurt the peace of the two families because of the separation of the family, so he "coughed" and said bluntly: "Second brother and sister, the dim sum shop is your nephew's daughter-in-law's private property, and it is not in the public account book."

Seeing Cao Yin pondering for a long time, Zhao Jia seemed to still look at Cao Yong's face, thinking he understood.

With a smile on her face, she said to Cao Yong: "Brother Yong, although the three shops in the back were opened by the second housekeeper of our mansion, if they

It's under the name of my nephew and daughter-in-law, but my aunt has nothing to say.It's just that the crops have not been harvested in recent years, and the farmer's income is low. Last year
It is because of the severe drought that the rent has been reduced by a few percent.Wouldn't it be cheap if there was a shop and some living money in hand?Otherwise, rush

If the success last year was not good, this family would have to drink the northwest wind, otherwise, if there is no distinction between Zhuchang and I, Zhuangzi

No, brother Yong'er can help me set up two shops, it's really impossible, it's better to give me two ready-made ones.Then put the hands of the dim sum shop
Wouldn't it be just right to borrow a few from my aunt and set up a stall? "

When these words came out, it seemed that Zhao Jia made a lot of concessions, but how could Cao Yong agree?

Zhao Jia was afraid that Zhuangzi would be affected by drought and flood, so he wanted two pavements, which was fine.According to the price of the bead field, you can buy two places in the bustling area of ​​the city.

Just looking at what she meant, she didn't expect the shop to collect rent, but she was also thinking about the dim sum business.

Apart from other things, there is no proper person to watch over the imported business. If a bag of arsenic is dropped, the lawsuit will be dismissed. How can it be so easy?
Just looking at Mrs. Zhaojia's high-spirited appearance, and seeing that it's not a day or two since she missed the dim sum shop, she couldn't persuade her with a word or two.

Cao Yong was thinking about what to say to make Zhao Jia's thoughts go away, so he heard Cao Song get up and said: "Uncle, my nephew remembers clearly that there were two shops in Jiangning Shigong before. Collecting rent. The year before last in Beijing, my mother sold these two shops, but the money she received was not transferred to the public account. I guess these two places can also cover the half of the bead farm, so the uncle does not need to divide this one. Son."

"You..." Mrs. Zhao Jia saw her son's face turned blue and white when he saw which pot was not opening and which pot he was carrying. He stared at him, speechless.

Cao Yin didn't pay much attention to family affairs, and this was the first time he heard about it.He glanced at his son, and seeing that his son was also ignorant, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Li.

Seeing Mrs. Li nodding, he knew what was going on, looked at Mrs. Zhao Jia and said, "Sisters and sisters, since that's the case, why don't we leave this one behind?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Jiashi.

Zhao Jia felt his mouth was full of sour water, and his hands and feet were shaking a little as he sat there.

She tried her best to calm down, with a sad look on her face, she looked at Cao Yin and said, "Then according to Uncle's intention, apart from the floating wealth, is it just to give us two houses, one Zhuangzi?"

Cao Yin originally planned to let Cao Yong buy another Zhuangzi for Erfang, but because Zhaojia's family transferred to the shop, it was said that it was diverted.

Seeing Mrs. Zhaojia's expression, and looking at the nephews sitting on Cao Song's hands, Cao Yin's heart softened, and said: "The second house has a large population, and it costs a lot to throw away. It is always good to have more property. The two houses in the south The first house should belong to the second room. It doesn’t matter if the siblings send someone to sell it, or collect the rent, it’s up to them.”

Although Zhao Jia said that his heart was not enough, he could only nod his head when he said so.

If we continue to talk about it, we will have to talk about the previous things.After all, when he went north from Jiangning the year before last, the second room also took up a lot of things.

After all, she is unwilling, isn't it just Suzhou Dim Sum?Could it be that the second room can't support a shop without a person with the long room?
Mrs. Zhaojia was furious, and wanted to open a shop for nothing else but to gain popularity. The name was "Dao Xiangchun".

People in Beijing eat pastry, and there is absolutely no big house to open a shop, so the second house will stay away from it to the end.

What is disappointing is that there is no Qianmen shop sent by Prince Jian's mansion.She has asked people to find out that the decent shop is even more regular than the "Daoxiang Village" shop at Qianmen, and it was also sold in the past.

I don't know if it's a problem with the shop, but if you can use the shop to gain a relationship with Prince Jian's Mansion, it won't be cheap.The side Fujin in the mansion over there is Jinghui's aunt.Speaking of which, the two are still serious in-laws.

Rao is a ladylike family like the Zhaojia family, and he also knows the name of Prince Jane Yarjan'a.Don't say it's the **** Lord, or the Zong Ling of the clan's mansion, who is in charge of the prince Baylor, what kind of dignity is that.

Not to mention the little Jiujiu in Zhaojia's heart, Cao Yin saw her nodding, and made two lots as he said before, and asked Cao Yong and Cao Song to draw lots.

Each lot represents an account book, which is divided into antique calligraphy and paintings.

Cao Song looked at the two lots, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Brother comes first."

Cao Yong patted him on the shoulder, raised his chin, and said, "Don't be naughty, take one!"

Only then did Cao Song stretch out his hand, took the lottery near him, and handed it to Cao Yin with both hands.

Cao Yin opened it, and the character "A" was written on it.He picked up the corresponding account book, handed it to Cao Song, and said: "Open the warehouse in a while, and get things according to the book."

Cao Song said: "Yes, uncle." As he spoke, he took the account book with both hands and retreated.

A pen, ink, paper and inkstone were prepared next to it, Cao Yin dictated the reason for the separation, and Cao Yong wrote the separation contract in duplicate.

After writing the reasons for the separation, Cao Yong also indicated several real estates and real estates later.

Everyone held their breath, and only the sound of Cao Yong's ink was heard in the room.

Zhao Jiashi watched Cao Yong bow his head and write, and remembered one thing.In the early years, I heard my husband nagging several times, saying that the company was short-lived, and the public was short-lived.

Among other things, Mr. Zhao Jia also saw the situation of picking up the driver when he was in Jiangning.

That ostentation was piled up with silver.

The eyes are full of bustle and bustling, full of flowers, not to mention anything else, the garden used for the layout is just planted with flowers and trees.It is said that some flowers and trees cost more than dozens of taels of gold.

The Cao family's income is limited, although they haven't complained about being short in the past few years, but if the old debts are turned up that day, it will be enough for people and a pot.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao Jia squeezed out a smile, and said to Cao Yin: "Uncle, although the floating wealth in the account is divided, it should not be added. Since this is a division of the family, there will be no foreign debts on the account in the future. It has something to do with the Second Household. Otherwise, wouldn't it be tasteless to get entangled in the future. "

There is no foreign debt in the public account, and the deficit on the account department has been fully paid off in the past two years.

Therefore, Cao Yin did not think about the debt.

However, since Zhao Jia mentioned it, Cao Yin nodded and signaled Cao Yong to add it.

After a while, the two separation contracts were written, the first house Cao Yin stamped the seal, and the second house Cao Song, as the eldest son, was the future head of the family, signed and signed.

Then, Cao Yong sent the two contracts to Fu Nai and Murtai.

The two wrote their own names behind the middleman, and the contract was considered complete.

Tomorrow, I will take this contract and report to Zhengbai Banner Dutong.If the second room is separated from the family, it is a "separate household", and changes must be made on the record at the Eight Banners.

After the separation of the family, Zhao Jia still had a stomach full of anger, so he got up and walked away from the crowd, and took his son back first.

Cao Yin sat on the chair, looking at the backs of his nephews, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Although the division is fair and the two families are both wives and wives, it is not a good thing to separate the family.Fu Nai and Mu Ertai politely declined Cao Yin's proposal to stay with the wine, and they left and went back.

Cao Yin and his son sent the two of them out of the mansion, and they returned to the mansion after they left on horseback.

Although the night wind had gradually subsided, the snow was not insignificant.The snowflakes fell on people's faces, which felt cool.

Cao Yin did not go back to the inner house directly, but took his son to the study.

The father and son were relatively silent. After a long while, Cao Yin said: "Flesh and blood are connected, even if the family is separated, their brothers are still my nephews and your younger brothers."

Cao Yong couldn't bear to see the decadent look on his father's face.

On this point, Cao Yin would not doubt his son, but also believed that his son would do what he said.

He sighed, changed the subject, and said: "A few days ago, didn't you talk about the incident at Qianmen Daoxiang Village? In the past two days, I got the news that the steward of Prince Jian's Mansion died suddenly. Although it was already in Shuntian Mansion We are filing a case, but there are no clues, and it is hard to say who did it right now."

This person was obviously silenced, which is not unusual, but it would be considered unusual if he was kept alive.

Cao Yong thought for a while, raised his head and asked: "Father, the father also knows about the son's previous grievances. Do you think there is anyone who wants to kill his son?"

Cao Yin shook his head and said: "It's not good to say, just wait and see, since the other party wants to touch you, they will always show their feet..."

*
Unlike the feelings of Cao Yin and his son, Zhao Jia's mood is much more complicated.

She hugged the pocketbook tightly in her hand, raised her neck, and walked to the front quickly, with a hint of excitement.

Cao Song and his brothers seemed much listless.

Cao Song's face lost the look of joy, with a bit of confusion.Although he said it swearingly before, but this is really the end of the family, he is also a little uncertain.

After entering the East Mansion, Cao Song did not go back to the inner courtyard with Mrs. Zhao Jia, but stayed in the front courtyard hall with his younger brothers.

He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said to his younger brothers: "After the family is divided, we can't rely on uncle and elder brother for everything in the future. We should also strive for success."

Cao Shuo and Cao Xiang agreed, and Cao looked up at his elder brother, but he couldn't help it anymore, his eyes were already red, and he choked up and said, "It's all the second elder brother's fault, whoever wants to split up, who cares about splitting up... ..." As he spoke, he ran out quickly without waiting for Cao Song to speak.

Cao Song frowned and said nothing, Cao Shuo was afraid that his brother would be upset, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, Xiao Wu is closest to uncle and aunt, so there is some discomfort in my heart, don't worry about him..."

Cao Song nodded, looking at the yard, there was more and more snow on the ground...

*
South of the city, Pine Tree Alley, Cheng Zhai, west courtyard.

Han Jiangshi was holding a hand stove, sitting at the kang table, holding a book in his hand.Xiao Xi is stretching the embroidery thread beside her, and Xiao Lu is winding the thread.There are two masters and servants, talking with each other and not talking with each other.

Suddenly, there was a bark of dogs not far away, which was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night...
