Court Marriage
Chapter 43: split up
When Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze arrived at the old lady's house, they found that Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yingxuan had already arrived, and even Qiao Yuanyin and Qiao Yingzi, who came out of the concubine, were brought over and sat beside them with a confused look.
The old lady sat majestically on the main seat, her cold face showed no joy or anger, while Mr. Qiao was still indifferent, with a hint of impatience in his expression, and although Mrs. Qiao sat gracefully on the side He said, but his eyes seemed a little suspicious, and his eyes were aimed at the old lady from time to time. As for Qiao Yingxuan, who was the client, he sat in his seat silently, and only his slightly stiff figure revealed his uneasy heart.
Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze looked at each other, greeted several elders in a low voice, and after being greeted by several younger brothers and sisters, they also sat in their seats silently, and the atmosphere in the room cooled down for a while.
Wenshu has always been thoughtful, and has already inquired about the news from the maid who came to tell the old lady's courtyard, so on the way here, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze heard her general experience. It turns out that Jingshu moved during the daytime today. After giving birth, the maids reported the news to Mrs. Qiao, but Mrs. Qiao did not pay much attention to it, probably because she wanted to tell the old lady when the child was born, so she did not report it to the old lady, but sent someone to find a midwife. wait.
The old lady heard the news after dinner, and sent someone to watch Qiao Yingxuan's yard. When the midwife said she was about to give birth, she gathered everyone. As for what to do , the maids don't know.
Others don't know, but Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang know it in their hearts. The old lady wants to wait for the child to fall to the ground, and then officially let them go out. The gender of the child also determines whether their husband can be married. Justified to leave.
If it is a boy, then in the name of adoption, they are 'forced away'. If it is a girl, then it's okay to keep it in the name of Qiao Yingxuan. Naturally, there is no such thing as adoptive, so they will leave in the name of Qiao Yingze. Sickness is the reason for the burden of responsibility.
In this way, the position of their husband and wife will be very passive. In terms of the family property that can be divided, the difference must be more than 30,000 taels of silver... This is after Gong Zhuoliang looked at the Qiao family's general ledger at the old lady's office. the conclusion.
Gong Zhuoliang has specially studied the family division system of this dynasty. According to the normal division method, the ancestral home and ancestral land are not divided for the heirs, those who have children are not divided into married daughters, and the rest of the public property is reserved for unmarried children after marrying silver coins. , and then equally divided into N+1 shares, two shares for the eldest son, and one for the rest regardless of the direct descendant.
Besides, the Qiao family, Mr. Qiao has been an official for 20 years, and most of them are parent officials who are foreign officials. In three years, the Qing Zhifu still has 100,000 snowflakes of silver, not to mention that Mr. Qiao has always been a mess, even if he complimented him and sent a lot out. , The wealth that has been saved in the past twenty years is also rich enough.
In Gongzhong's property, the house they live in now is worth more than 10,000 taels. This is because the housing price in Bocheng is relatively moderate.
After the year, all Zhuangzi shops have paid their rent and filial piety, and the public has accumulated a lot of wealth. According to Gong Zhuoliang's calculations, don't open the ancestral home, the ancestral farm, and the private property of each member's own name. In addition to the more than 10,000 taels of marriage money that the younger brothers and sisters have in total, the total amount that can be divided must be more than 80,000 taels.
There are only three sons in the Qiao family now, so the property of the public and middle school is divided into four parts, then Qiao Yingze takes two shares and it is more than 40,000 yuan, which is more than 20 million yuan in RMB. Then according to the rules, he can only get half of the 10,000 taels. If the family is strict, he might not even give half of it.
Although Gong Zhuoliang disdains greed for the tens of thousands of taels of money from the Qiao family, he doesn't want to give the money to Mrs. Qiao's stepmother in vain, and if his husband has no money in his hand, he will have to think more about it in the future. He felt that he was useless, so Gong Zhuoliang pretended to be wronged in front of the old lady during this period of time. He believed that with the old lady's love for Qiao Yingze, she would not let her precious grandson suffer!
Before waiting for half an hour, the old lady next to Xiangshu, who took over the stewardship of Zhiqi, came back with a baby in her arms and accompanied by a group of maids. Some of the maids who followed her were by Qiao Yingxuan's side, and some were by Mrs. Qiao's side. They all looked a little uneasy. Who made the incense book shelf so big? After picking up the children, they carried them away. Most of them came over because they were afraid of taking responsibility. It’s just that they could enter the old lady’s house, so they had to be careful with them. stood outside the door.
"Madam Hui, it's a young master."
Xiangshu hugged the crying child into the room, bowed to the old lady and bowed, seeing the old lady's wink, he hurriedly avoided Qiao Yingxuan, who was approaching to hold the child, and handed the child to Gong Zhuoliang's hand. superior.
"grandmother?"
Appropriately showing his surprise and bewilderment, Gong Zhuoliang held the newly born little guy and looked at the old lady for help.
Compared with his pretense, Qiao Yingze was really stunned by the child's crying. He stared at this little thing with his eyes closed and howling. He hesitated to reach out and patted it. After finding it was useless, he didn't know what to do.
"grandmother?"
At the same time, Qiao Yingxuan was also the one who asked out loud. Although he had promised his mother to send the child away and find a good family to raise him, he was mentally prepared to never see the child again, but it was coming. But I didn't expect such a scene. Isn't my grandmother very opposed to adopting this child to my eldest brother?
"Daughter-in-law, didn't you always want Xuan'er to inherit the family, and you still want to adopt this child to Ze'er's room? For the sake of making the house so restless all day, you're making jokes for nothing, rather than waiting. You have broken up this family, why don't I do as you wish today, while my old woman is still there, I can clearly distinguish this family, I just want to give my Qiao family peace and harmony!"
Hearing that Xiangshu said it was a boy, the old lady also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She looked around at everyone present with complicated eyes, and finally landed on Mrs. Qiao, and spoke sternly.
Indulging and even inducing those rumors like that before, the old lady is planning for today. As Gong Zhuoliang thought, the old lady who loves Qiao Yingze will definitely not damage his reputation, so the crime that led to the separation today, It should be someone else to carry it, then naturally it should be the unkind and virtuous Mrs. Qiao.
"Mother-in-law? Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, how dare you do this! Mother-in-law, you are embarrassing your daughter-in-law to death. This family is absolutely unacceptable!"
Mrs. Qiao felt a chill in her heart when she heard the old lady's words, and instantly became cold to the core. She knelt down in panic, her heart became a mess, and with her actions, several of the juniors were stunned. They all knelt down in fear.
Mrs. Qiao didn't understand how for no reason, the old lady would have the idea of breaking up the family. If such a crime fell on her own head, what face would she have to go out to meet people!
"Mother, what are you doing with this good-looking family? What's wrong with what your son and daughter-in-law do? Even if you teach me a lesson, don't get angry with yourself."
The only one who was still sitting, Master Qiao, also changed his face at this time, stood up and bowed to the old lady.
Although he was reluctant to lean towards her because of the old lady's strict control since he was a child, and he was more in awe of this biological mother than close to her, but he also knew that he was able to be today thanks to her old man, and it was precisely because of the old lady's support that he now Only then can he spend the whole day without taking care of his family, but now he doesn't agree with the separation of the family, not to mention the good news about the separation of the family. Isn't he cursed when his son divides the family?
"As long as you parents can treat Ze'er a little bit, why should my old woman give up her face to do this step! How did you treat Ze'er all these years, you feel your conscience and ask yourself to be ashamed! What! Don't talk about it, this matter is settled like this, Xiangshu, take the account book! Ze'er, you're weak, don't kneel, girl Yan, help your husband up."
Speaking of which, everyone could see that the old lady really made up her mind, and everyone couldn't speak any more. And the old lady would be in such a hurry to settle the matter so quickly, in addition to the fact that there was another reason besides the birth of a child who was presumptuous.
It turns out that the old lady is interested in the two good concubines who stopped the abortion pill. One of them was just diagnosed yesterday and she was happy. She still kept it from being known, otherwise she would have to wait until the child was born to know the gender. If it is a boy, it will divide Qiao Yingze's share again, and after the division is completed, the family will tell it, then the child will be divided from the remaining properties of the family in the future, and will share with Qiao Yingze. It doesn't matter, this is also a lesson the old lady taught Mrs. Qiao.
"Mother-in-law..."
When Mrs. Qiao saw the stacks of account books that Xiangshu took out from the box next to her, she knew that the old lady had planned it for a long time. I was afraid that the rumors that were spread outside the year were also of her liking, and she was stupid. Following her words, she handed over the keys of Gongzhong for so long, and let her feel the real estate of the family!
Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale with regret. If she had known that the old lady had planned to let Qiao Yingze's house go out, she would have held the key tightly and would not let go of her. Xuan'er's!
"Zhuzhuo."
Standing up together with Gong Zhuoliang, Qiao Yingze saw that he was frowning from the crying of the child, and then saw that he was about to put the baby's small hand in the child's mouth, hurried over to stop him from such a 'harmful' behavior, and whispered to the maid. He took it out to the nurse and told her to bring it in quickly after feeding the baby.
After Qiao Yingze ordered this, he saw Gong Zhuoliang who was facing him with an innocent expression, and knew that he was deliberately amusing him to divert his attention, so Qiao Yingze's sadness improved a little because of the scene in front of him. Covering his sleeves, he held Gong Zhuoliang's hand.
"Mother-in-law, you can't go against your decision that we are the juniors, so what do you mean is that only Ze'er and his wife have been separated, and the rest will stay at home, and then let Xuan'er inherit the family?"
The Qiao family was originally separated from the big clan, so the old lady was the senior in the family. She said that there would be no objection if the family was separated, so Mrs. Qiao saw that something could not be violated, so she quickly moved her mind. Going to another area, anyway, my face is lost, and now this is only a small branch, so I have to determine the identity of the heir for my precious son!
According to the laws of this dynasty, the so-called division of the family also has different sizes. The big one is to move the ancestral graves out of the separate establishment, and the family tree is also completely divided. It was like this when the old lady was separated from the family. Now Mr. Qiao's grave was newly built in Mr. Qiao's hometown.
And the current separation of Qiao Yingze and the others belongs to a small family. They have been separated but belong to the same family and still share the same family tree. This is equivalent to Qiao Yingxuan inheriting the position of the patriarch. Although Qiao Yingze is the elder brother, But his position in the family is second, next to Qiao Yingxuan.
"Yes, from now on, this family will be inherited by Xuan'er."
Now that things have reached this point, the old lady is really disheartened and lazy. Since her precious eldest grandson can't afford a home, what's the point of her fighting any more?
It's better to take advantage of this old bone to move, and cultivate Xuan'er for a few years, don't let him have some success, don't become a virtuous and incompetent person like his parents, she will have the face to meet her husband even if she goes.
With the permission of the old lady, Mrs. Qiao finally felt more at ease. She thought that if you calculated me like this, it was just giving your precious grandson an extra 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, but lost the inheritance rights of the Qiao family. It's like having a golden egg but losing the hen that lays the golden egg...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao suddenly felt that something was wrong. The old woman had been fighting with herself for so many years, wasn't it just to let Qiao Yingze's house inherit the family property? Why did you suddenly give up now, and still put a bucket of **** on my head like this... Could it be that there is something wrong with Qiao Yingze and his wife?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but turn her eyes to Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang, who were standing next to each other, and felt more and more that they were the main reason for the separation, and that she had taken the blame for them!
But Mrs. Qiao thought about it again, but the current development was what she wanted to see the most. This family had truly fallen into her Xuan'er's hands... For a while, Mrs. Qiao couldn't tell whether she was at a loss or not. Take advantage!
With the old lady's decision, Madam Qiao didn't make any troubles. Even if Mr. Qiao didn't want to, he couldn't change anything. As for the young ones, he had no right to speak, so the separation of the family was carried out very quickly. down.
The old lady has already clearly divided the property of the public and middle school. Except for the 12,000 li of silver for the marriage of the two grandsons and a granddaughter, the public property still has a total value of more than 86,000 taels to be divided. Apart from the fact that they live now The house belonged to Qiao Yingxuan, and the other things were written on the paper for the three brothers to draw lots.
In the end, Qiao Yingze got a total of more than 43,000 taels of property, and was scheduled to officially move out on the sixth day of the second lunar month, a good day for relocation. He was busy until Hai Shi (21-23 o'clock), and then everyone dispersed.
Not to mention how old Madam, Madam Qiao and Master Qiao, the elders of the family, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, it was difficult to calm down for a long time when Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze returned to the house... They can finally leave the Qiao family justifiably!
"Xiang Gong, it's getting late, rest early."
He threw Qiao Yingze on the bed and kissed him several times. Although Gong Zhuoliang was very curious about what method Qiao Yingze used to persuade the old lady, he was not in a hurry. As for those who were in love, the atmosphere It's hard to get it back after it's been destroyed. Anyway, there's not enough time for romance tonight.
"Wait, Zhuo Zhuo, I'm a little worried about Ying Xuan, let him come over to see the child, I also want to talk to him."
Thinking of Qiao Yingxuan's silent and empty expression tonight, Qiao Yingze couldn't let it go. He was not as lucky as himself to have Zhuo Zhuo's company, but there was no one around him who could talk to his heart. So many things happened, He must be very distressed.
"Alright, I won't accompany you to see him anymore. You two brothers can talk to each other when you are alone, and you can also unravel him."
Gong Zhuoliang also agreed when he heard the words. Communication at this time is very important. Neither of the two brothers are greedy for money and love, because it is not worthwhile to separate the family.
And just when Qiao Yingze sent a maid to call Qiao Yingxuan, the exhausted Qiao Yingxuan just said goodbye from Mrs. Qiao.
Walking back to his own yard with heavy steps, Qiao Yingxuan remembered that he was going to send Jingshu away, so he casually asked the maid how Jingshu was, but the answer was that the person was gone...
