The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 288 Preparations Before Departure ([-])

Xiao Nan already knew that the old lady wanted to separate the family. The old man once brought it up half-jokingly, but was photographed by the family at that time.

The reason is very simple. The Cui family's ancestral precepts say: within the maze, you must drink in the same room.

As for the Cui family, counting from the old Xianggong to the youngest generation, they have just reached the fourth generation, and they have not yet met the requirements of the Cui family for separation.

Now that the old lady has already gone, why did she mention it so specially?

Xiao Nan doesn't think that Wang Shi is an ignorant woman who is idle and gossips at will, if she can say such a thing, she must be the most accurate person in this matter.

Frowning slightly, Xiao Nan pretended to be surprised and said: "I have never heard grandma mention this matter. However, it doesn't matter if it is divided, the tree has a big branch, our family has long been divided into halls, each family They all have their own courtyards, and they don’t even eat in the same place... In fact, it’s no different from a separate family.”

There is another sentence that Xiao Nan didn't say clearly, that is, each house has its own private property.It's just that he is afraid of the rule of "parents are present, selfless wealth" and transferred to his own wife's name.

As early as that day when several parties competed for Chenguang Yuan, Xiao Nan noticed that the juniors of the Cui family began to have selfish intentions, especially the bastards. They didn't care about the family, they only cared about the benefits they could share.Under such circumstances, no matter how forcibly bringing everyone together, it will only be in harmony with each other.

It's better to separate early while the friction has not escalated into a conflict, and the brothers have a good relationship with each other.

Especially the Cui family has a 'spies' who called in from outside - Cui Qing's family.

That day the old lady decided to divide the clan, Cui Qing was the first one to report to Sanji Cui's house, all the owners of Cui's house knew about this, only Hepu Courtyard kept it from one.

With such an unstable factor, the old lady's desire to separate the family was even stronger, so before she died, she specially told the two younger brothers to announce the separation in her name after she passed away.

If the family interferes again, the responsibility will be placed on her.

The old lady thinks very openly, anyway, she is 'old' and 'confused', she just made such a request before she died, if the younger brother refuses to agree, it is not filial or fraternal - the eldest sister is like a mother, how can she take care of her two younger brothers Grace.

When outsiders heard about it, they would only think that Brother Cui Shouren respected his elder sister.Even if there is something wrong, because of their respect and love for their sister, they will accommodate one or two.

Fa is nothing more than human feelings.

Besides, after the sect division, the old lady has also reached the bottom line over there. As long as this side can provide help, whatever this side does, the other side will turn a blind eye.

Another point, the old lady did not directly propose a separation, but—

"What, separate families?!"

On the second day after Wang's visit, Cui Youbo and his wife were called to Rongkang Hall to discuss important matters. Xiao Nan couldn't help but whispered in his heart after hearing what the old man said.

The hostesses and hostesses of the other rooms of Cui's house were all there, and most of them also showed astonishment when they heard this.

Not to mention the Hepu Courtyard, Yao Shi almost jumped up, and before the old man finished speaking, he hurriedly interrupted: "No, no, this, this is not in line with the clan rules!"

The old man glanced at her indifferently, he had to say that his aura was strong enough, just this one glance made Yao shut his mouth in shock, and timidly shrank behind Cui Qing with his head down.

Cui Qing pursed his lips, he knew that such a day would come.

Ha, separate families do not live apart, to put it nicely, I don't want to run their family out.

He is far smarter than his own mother-in-law, so of course he understands the so-called "separate family is not separated", but he just wants to say it nicely, let outsiders who don't know know it, and act as the kind head of the Cui family. Brothers and concubines live at home.

On the other hand, it was also to deal with the family rules, which only said "drinking in the same room" and did not say anything about dividing the family property.When the old man said this, he was simply playing with words.After all, he just divided up the family property, and everyone still lives in the same room, which can be regarded as sharing the same room.

In fact, this is just a plan for the interests of the old Xianggong and Xianggong. Without affecting the reputation and ensuring that the family will not interfere, the family will be divided first, and the 'irrelevant' people (such as Hepuyuan) will be gradually separated in the future. family) kicked out.

By that time, it is estimated that the limelight of the separation of the family has passed, and there will be new gossip in the market. Even if someone is kicked out of the Cui family, not many people will pay attention.

As for the family, Cui Qing smiled coldly.

He could see clearly that there were simply a group of bluffing paper tigers over there. Being slightly frightened by the old godly woman, he exposed his bottom line, but was manipulated by this side.

The old man looked around the people present majestically again, and said in a slow voice: "Sister has already made a will about this, and our branch has been divided into three halls, but at that time it was just talking casually, I didn't write a separation document. Now that my sister is gone, I'm already dying, and I don't know how many years to live, so I decided to divide the family before I was confused, so as to avoid future disputes."

Cui Qing moved his lips, wanting to say something to try to redeem him, but after thinking about it, he still held back.

The other Cui family men, after a short period of surprise, all regained their composure and sat upright, waiting for the old man's orders.

The old man didn't seem to see everyone's reaction, and continued: "Today, I obeyed my sister's will and officially divided the Duoxiang Cui family into three halls, Rongshou Hall, Rongkang Hall and Rong'an Hall. Each hall is now The real estate they live in belongs to each hall, as do the maids and servants. As for the Cui family’s land, real estate and shop, except for the sacrifice field and the Yongye field, the rest are all divided into three equal shares, one for each hall.”

As he said that, the old man winked at the big butler at the side, and the butler hurriedly ordered someone to bring a black lacquered box and put it on the hall.

The old man pointed to the box, and said: "I have already ordered each person to be divided into three shares. The specific share will be decided by the head of each hall by casting lots. Oh, by the way, the industry in Luoyang is also based on this Charter points."

After a pause, the old man said again: "Do you have any objections to this?"

Except for Hepuyuan and the second old lady, everyone nodded in unison, "No objection, but let the old man make the decision!"

As soon as the words were finished, the butler had already opened the box, carefully took out stacks of deeds, divided them into three small piles, and placed them in front of the old man's single couch.

"Okay, come forward and cast lots."

It seemed that the old man had been prepared for a long time. He took out a pen holder from the small table next to the single couch, and there were three thinly sliced ​​bamboo pieces in the pen holder. The bamboo pieces were all the same in length and size. There are different words written on it.

The old man put the pen holder in front of the three stacks of documents, and raised his chin slightly, "Come on."

Cui Ze represented Rongkang Hall, Cui Hai represented Rong An Hall, and Rongshou Hall was naturally represented by Cui Youbo, the three got up and left their seats, and came to the bamboo tube.

With Cui Ze around, neither Cui Hai nor Cui Youbo dared to smoke first, they both respectfully asked Cui Ze to come first.

Cui Ze didn't care about these things, he was the new head of the Cui family, and most of the property in the family belonged to him.In addition, he has become a good husband, so he doesn't pay much attention to these money and things.

He randomly took a piece of bamboo, glanced at it hastily, and threw it to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper took it with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Booklet C!"

As he said that, the butler pushed the pile of deeds on the west side to Cui Ze.

Cui Ze nodded, and ordered people to collect the deeds, but did not reach out to get the details at the top of the deeds.

The second one is Cui Hai. Originally, he wanted to read the detailed brochure first, so he had to find out what he was assigned first.

But with Cui Ze setting an example in front of him, he couldn't be too philistine, so he pretended to randomly pick one and threw it to the housekeeper.

The butler said, "Booklet A!"

While speaking, the butler had already brought the pile on the east side to Cui Hai.

Well, there is only one left, so Uncle Cui didn't have to pick any more, he just took the pile in the middle and returned to his seat.

After the family property was divided, the old man invited several elder brothers from his hometown in Luoyang to be witnesses, and signed a document with Cui Ze and others, and sent it to Jingzhaoji after the family division was completed.

The big frame of family division is considered complete, and the next step is the internal division between the halls.

These things have nothing to do with Cui Youbo and his wife, they watched for a while, saw that the elder didn't give any orders, so they left and went back.

The old lady's seven days of fasting have passed, and it's time for them to prepare for leaving Beijing.

Because this time the whole family is returning home, Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan must consider all aspects.

The first question is to determine the specific candidates who will follow the couple to leave Beijing.

Well, A Yuan and Changsheng must be taken away, and their wet nurses and maids must follow; Xiao Nan's two mothers, four senior maids, several second-class maids, and a dozen or so young maids must also be taken away. , and of course her Princess Jiawei; oh, by the way, the cook should also bring two, and the rough maids from the execution room, sewing room, etc. should also bring a few...

As for Cui Youbo, his two bookboys, four attendants, and...

"You don't need to bring so many people with you. Grandma said that we have servants at our ancestral home in Luoyang. It's a long way to Luoyang, so it's too public to bring too many people."

Cui Youbo hastily browsed through the pile of assigned deeds. There is a farm with a thousand hectares, a salt field, some real estate in the capital, Luoyang, and Boling, and a few small workshops.There are not many serious shops.

However, Cui Youbo also knew that the separation of the family this time was only in name, and the share was also the old man's private treasury.Santang's family property has already been divided up.The old lady also handed over all the properties of Rongshoutang to Xiao Nan early.

Xiao Nan thought for a while, and said: "Lang Jun is right, but I didn't think it through carefully. I will think about it again and delete the list."

Cui Youbo saw that Xiao Nan was so thin that his chin protruded and his cheeks were sunken, he couldn't help but feel guilty and distressed and said: "These days, the lady is busy with everything, and it's normal to have omissions occasionally. But I, a little I can't help at all."

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and said, "I am very satisfied if Mr. Lang understands my hard work."

The more Cui Youbo thought about it, the more he felt that he owed his wife, and he seemed to make a suggestion: "By the way, we will leave Beijing soon, and I am afraid that we will not be able to return until three years later. Before leaving, I will accompany my wife back to the Princess Mansion to visit you." Mother, sister-in-law and two younger brothers, right?!"
