Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 557

Hui An lowered his eyebrows and sat down on the head, seeing that even Guan Baize, who was sick in bed, was supported to sit on it, and Guan Yuanzhuo, who was a little dazed, was also sitting aside under the care of the maid, looking at the room with different expressions , people who are connected by blood but have different thoughts, Hui'an can't help but feel a little bit sad.She instinctively went to look at Mrs. Dingguo who was sitting on the upper seat, but she saw Mrs. Dingguo just sitting there with an unsteady expression, there was nothing wrong with her expression, but her complexion was sickly gray.

Guan Baize sat with a sad expression, his old age was obvious, and there were even tears in his eyes, and Cui also held a handkerchief and looked at his stupid son crying. In the past few days, she has lost a lot of weight, and now she is sitting there with her head down looking very peaceful.

The second master and the second wife looked humble, but the third lady restrained herself a bit after being glared at by the third master with some uncontrollable excitement and joy on her face.All the guests looked at this scene, and saw that the Xiangye Guan Baize, who had always been a master of nourishing his energy, looked like this now, and they all felt embarrassed.

When the time came, Mrs. Dingguo got up and nodded to the guests, said a few polite words, and then said: "When the old man died of illness, the family was divided once. Today, the third room will be divided again. The main property is the current family property. The property, as well as the [-] or so shops and farms run by the ancestors in Beijing and Jiangyang, etc., are all divided equally between the three houses. Everyone read it, and you have a good idea. As for the farmland that was bestowed by the old master, it should belong to the eldest house. I have agreed to divide the family and not leave the mansion to buy another mansion, only to strengthen the high wall outside the Tonghua Courtyard, and open another mansion gate on the west wall. As for the remaining cash of more than ten thousand taels Since the third house is going to leave the mansion to buy another mansion, the more than [-] taels of cash will be used to pay [-] to the third house to buy property, and after a while, housekeeper Zhou will give the cashed bank note to the third wife. In addition, my dowry , There are not many left over these years, and whoever those belong to is my own business. That's it, if anyone has any opinions, they can raise them now, and if they don't, Steward Zhou will read the list."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Mrs. Dingguo's words. If they were divided in this way, the big house would suffer a lot. Many properties that should be in charge of the eldest son's eldest house have been divided equally, and the second master is also counted. That's right, it's also Madam Dingguo's own flesh and blood, but the third master is a concubine. Not to mention getting so much family property, he also got another 8000 taels of cash.This partiality is extremely obvious.

Even the third lady's eyes widened in amazement when she heard the words, and then a burst of joy rose in her heart, and she went to look carefully at Mrs. Dingguo's face and saw that she didn't seem to be joking, so she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

The third master was moved, then hurriedly knelt down, choked with sobs and said: "The mother is still here, but it is unfilial to want to separate the family. Now the mother still loves and pities the third house so much, how can my son bear it?"

The third lady knelt down, weeping, but she didn't speak, she seemed too touched to speak.

What surprised Hui'an was that Mrs. Cui heard Mrs. Dingguo's words without any controversy, and silently accepted the result. Hui'an looked, but saw that she was still looking at Guan Yuanzhuo with sorrowful eyes.These days, Guan Baize has been taken care of by Mrs. Cui, and since Guan Baize agreed to this separation, I'm afraid he had discussed it with Mrs. Cui earlier.

Cui has been thinking all these years for his son Guan Yuanzhuo, but now... I am afraid that she has become cold-hearted and can see clearly.

Hui'an sighed, the guests over there knew that Madam Dingguo and Guan Baize did this to make up for the debt owed to the third house, but which of these wealthy people's inner houses can really be peaceful, your third wife's murder is in the end still the third house My own tall aunt moved her hands, but she couldn't blame the big house, so no matter what, in people's eyes, Mrs. Dingguo's treatment of the third house was the most benevolent.

Seeing the appearance of the third lady again, the guests felt a little more sympathy for Guan Baize, and a little more admiration for Mrs. Dingguo.

Mrs. Dingguo saw the third master crying and fell to his knees, so she ordered Mother Jiang to help him and the third wife up, and said: "There is no need to say anything more, since there is no objection, let's do it, Steward Zhou."

Steward Zhou stepped forward upon hearing the words, and began to read the thick list booklet.Because the division of the family is very generous to the second and third households, and Mrs. Cui has been sitting without saying a word, so it went very smoothly. However, the profits of several shops are not equal, and the division is unavoidable, because there is no objection from all the households. , No one said a word in these small places.

When everything was settled, Mrs. Dingguo got up, and everyone hurriedly got up to see off the guests. The two court ministers invited today are Mr. Yang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Liu Youxiang.Emperor Xiankang went to visit the Guan mansion in person that day, and the news that the emperor had allowed Guan Baize to resign had already spread, and the two of them would inevitably have a few polite words with Guan Baize, and several imperial wives also accompanied Mrs. Dingguo to express their condolences. Mrs. Bian Yongning looked at the third lady and said with a smile: "After all, the third lady is lucky to have a kind and compassionate aunt."

The third lady responded with a quick smile, but the third master over there showed a look of shame on his face.The guests came out in a file, Hui'an was tired from sitting all morning, Guan Yuanhe asked Nanny Fang to help her go back to rest, but he stayed behind because Guan Baize had to talk about the big house later.

When the guests came out of the Guanfu, a few servants at the gate of the mansion were already stepping on ladders to get the golden door plaque hanging on the vermilion gate. It was shining brightly, but it fell into the dust, and no one took a second look. The new door plaque was also in large gold-plated characters, with the inscription "Dongting Hou's Mansion", and the servants carefully hung the door plaque.

Over there, Liu Youxiang was about to get in the car. Seeing this scene, his eyes fell on the plaque on the gate of the closed mansion that had been taken off the ground. The young man who followed him saw that his master suddenly stopped his movements, and he didn't see him go up for a while. car, he called out, "Master?"

Liu Youxiang came back to his senses, but he shook his head and smiled, and said, "Guan Baize has retired from his career, the old man is deeply trapped in court, but he doesn't know what will happen in the future..."
