The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 100 Family Meeting
The dinner at Ji's family turned into a book-tasting conference. The whole family talked and laughed and sat together to read, and some of them made comments from time to time. It was really enjoyable until late at night when everyone dispersed. Ji Yi and Wu Shi Wash and rest.

The old couple lay on the bed, and Ji Yi said to Mrs. Wu: "These days, His Majesty often calls married boys into the palace. I watched with cold eyes. His Majesty intends to punish those families, and it seems that he is not willing to call more of the officials' families. There is land, I see that our book printing workshop is making a lot of money now, and the other shops are also making money, you can find a few pieces of land to sell while your son's land price is still high."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wu was surprised: "The land is going to be sold? This land is our foundation. If we sell it..."

Ji Yi sighed: "Sell it, it may not be the root cause of the trouble in the future. In addition, you also sold the luminous pearl that sister Xian picked up earlier. It is said that a salt merchant from the south came to Jinling to find that rare treasure. You So I sold Ye Mingzhu to him, took the opportunity to ask for a big price, and bought a few houses in the city with the money I sold."

"The night pearl is also sold?" Wu Shi was surprised again, feeling a little bit reluctant: "This is picked up from the ancestral graveyard."

"Those rare treasures have always caused disasters. Although I am now a prime minister and many people dare not think about our family, I will always step back one day. At that time, if our son cannot be a high-ranking Weight, our family is eye-catching, why not take this opportunity to get more money and distribute it to our children and grandchildren." Ji Yi thought for a moment.

He grabbed Mrs. Wu's hand: "Sell it first, and see how much money you can sell, and then we will look for houses. If there are too many houses, we will buy eight sets of five-entry houses. Whether it’s the third entry or the second entry, you can buy eight sets, and you must buy the same ones, so don’t ask people to point at us and say we are partial.”

"Yes." Mrs. Wu is clear about it, knowing that although the children and grandchildren are harmonious, the old people must also be fair and just in dealing with things, otherwise it is easy to cause rifts between the children and grandchildren.

"You seal up the remaining silver and jewels, and we will take them as dowry to Sister Xian in the future." Ji Yi was still a little unhappy when he talked about Ji Songxian's marriage: "Although Cheng Huaijin is the Duke of Cheng, He is the legitimate son of the mansion, but I think he means that he does not intend to recognize his father. In this way, it is almost the same whether he has a family or not. It has not been long since he entered Jinling City, and there has been no one to help him these years. , let's give Sister Xian some more dowry, so as to save her suffering."

"I heard that he bought a house." Mrs. Wu also said what was in his heart: "The house is still a five-entry house, and there is no shortage of houses, but I don't know whether he has bought a Zhuangzi shop or not. No spare money."

"It's useless to say anything now." Ji Yi said with a sad expression on his face: "It doesn't matter what he is, we just do our best. I don't know what Miss Xian thinks, but I just choose Such a... Sigh, although His Majesty has promised not to involve Sister Xian in the future, if Cheng Huaijin is convicted, how can our Sister Xian be better?"

"Don't say such scary things." Mrs. Wu patted Ji Yi: "It can't be said that they have loved each other forever, and now it is useless to think far away. Let's arrange the things in front of us first, and wait for me tomorrow." Sell ​​that Ye Mingzhu, and give it to the eight Xunmo houses in our family, after the seventh and eighth exams next year, don't care if they marry a wife or not, this family must be divided."

"It should be divided, it should be divided." Ji Yi nodded straight: "It is inevitable that some people will feel resentful when such a large family lives in the same place for a long time. They're all different, and besides, whoever doesn't have any small plans, don't wait for their brothers to really have something on their minds, it's better to separate earlier."

Ji Yi talked to Mrs. Wu again, and the next morning, after Mrs. Wu washed up, he asked someone to find out who wanted to buy Zhuangzi, and asked where the salt merchant was staying, and asked someone to tell him that he had a night pearl on hand. The price is quite high.

After Mrs. Wu made arrangements, he thought about what Ji Yi said last night, and began to worry about Ji Songxian again, and began to calculate how much the jewels, gold and silver that Ji Songxian dug up were worth, and what he had saved for Ji Songxian. Dowry calculations.

Because good wood is hard to find these days, Mrs. Wu started to save wood early on. Over the years, he has saved a lot. There are also some books and antiques. This is not much, but if you have money, you can buy it right away. , In addition, clothes and the like can be bought and made immediately, and there are also silver jewelry in the Zhuangzi shop and the like.

Mrs. Wu wanted to buy two shops, and then take out one or two of her own Zhuangzi to give Ji Songxian a dowry. In addition, a lot of jewelry looks out of fashion, and they have to be fused before making new ones. Quite a lot.

So, after sending Mrs. Xu off, Mrs. Wu started to get busy, and almost didn't go home every day.

Ji Songxian lived his life day by day. He went to the vegetable garden to grow vegetables every day, wrote a storybook in the house, and then followed Wu's or Sun's to various banquets.

In this way, after some time, when autumn came, Emperor Qingfeng issued an order for Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin to get married in the spring of next year.

In this way, the Ji family began to go to Cheng Huaijin's house to measure the size of the new house, hired a good carpenter to make furniture, and found a tailor to make clothes for Ji Songxian for the four seasons. , about [-] sets of clothes are needed every season, and the time is extremely tight after less than a year.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu had prepared things earlier, there was no shortage of wood, the jewelry had been melted and made into many new styles, and the quilts were all ready, and with the help of a few daughters-in-law at home, there was no rush.

After confirming the next wedding date, a few days later, it was time for dinner, and the whole family gathered together. Mrs. Wu asked the servants not to set up the meal. She and Ji Yi sat in the first place, and the whole family gathered around. Ji Yi coughed Look at the children and said with a smile: "Let's talk before dinner today, and you can mention any opinions you have."

"Father said." Ji Gang smiled and asked Ji Yi to speak first.

Ji Yi smiled and said: "You all know that your sister has some good luck. When she went to visit our ancestors' graves, she picked up a luminous pearl, and later dug some treasures at home. Your mother and I sealed up all these things. But now that your sister is going to marry soon, I have to explain to you where these things are going."

The sons of Ji's family immediately expressed that since Ji Songxian got it, they should give her a dowry.

Ji Yi was very pleased to hear that, raised his hand to stop his son and daughter-in-law, and nodded with a smile: "What you said is very true, I also know that you have always cared for your sister, and what she got should be given to her. You will inevitably need money to start a family and start a business in the future, and I can't patronize my daughter regardless of whether my son can live or not, so I can only treat Miss Xian badly."

When Ji Songxian heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to Ji Yi: "Those things were dug out from home, and they were not mine at all. Dad can arrange it no matter what, and he didn't say that he treated me badly. My father raised me so big, I don't know what to do. This body was given by my parents, and the kindness of my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law cannot be compared with a few dollars."

Wu smiled: "Sister Xian has always been the most polite."

The sisters-in-law of Sun and Wang also praised Ji Songxian with a smile.

Ji Yi said again: "Although I owed her, I can't owe her too much, so I discussed with your mother and sold the Ye Mingzhu that Sister Xian picked up, and got a lot of money. Your mother has been busy these days Looking at the house, I bought eight sets of five-entry houses in the city. You brothers are not biased, and you have one set for each person. You have a place to live. I also keep the remaining Zhuangzi shops, and I will give them to you brothers in the future. Only the gold, silver and jewels are sealed up and given to Sister Xian as a dowry."

When Ji Gang heard this, he immediately got up: "It's too much my sister's fault, let's pick some from those Zhuangzi shops and give them to my sister."

Ji Zhen and the others also said: "Brother is right, my sister's dowry should have been bigger."

Ji Yi waved his hand: "It's my family who loses or loses, and Sister Xian doesn't mind losing, so it's settled like this. If you think your sister has suffered, just add more makeup to her." .”

In this way, the Ji Gang brothers stopped talking, and the Sun family showed a bit of joy on their faces.

They had watched Ji Songxian's family love Ji Songxian so much, and thought that Ji Songxian's treasures and Zhuangzi's shop would all be taken away by her. The family has a five-in-one mansion, and Zhuangzi's shop is also reserved for them, how can they be unhappy.

After Ji Yi finished speaking, Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "I bought the house. Your father and I don't have the energy to maintain it for you. Now I will distribute it to you. You can decorate and maintain it yourself."

Speaking of this, she asked Suixin to bring a box over, pointed to the box and said, "The things here are all title deeds, and they are generally five-entry houses, but you all know that good houses are hard to find these days, and this house is also very difficult to find." It’s impossible to be in one place, and I’m not going to say which one to prefer, you go and take it yourself, and you want which house you want.”

Wu smiled and pointed at Ji Gang: "Boss, take it first."

Ji Gang didn't refuse any more, got up and opened the box and took one without even looking at it.

After sitting down, Ji Gang took the title deed to have a look, and Mrs. Sun also leaned over to look at it, but she smiled after seeing it: "Well, our house is the closest to our parents, and it's on the side of the small teaching ground, so it's a mountain Near the water, a rare good place.”

Seeing that Ji Gang was holding a good house, Ji Jiang also took it with a smile, and when she came back to show it to Mrs. Wang, the couple were very happy: "Our house is not far away, it is next to the Imperial College, so we can get a lot of scholarly atmosphere. Woolen cloth."

Since Ji Yi and Ji Wei were not at home, they had to be taken by others, and the last one was left to them, and then Ji Zong, Ji Mian, Ji Wei, and Ji Zhen also took it, and they all looked down upon each other. They are all very happy.

Wu put away the last two land deeds and said: "Now the old seven and the eighth have not become officials, so naturally they have no salary. Your father and I will take care of their houses first, and let them settle down after they pass the exam next year. "

The other Ji family immediately said: "It should be."
