Chapter 24: Stalemate

At the same time that Qin Hanzhen questioned Xiao Huang's family, Qin Jian also asked Qin Keyong the same question: "Our six-room ancestral house is very large, and there is no shortage of people to clean the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter such a long time, they should have cleaned all the houses, right? In that case, why don't they arrange for the third uncle and the family to move in? With so many yards, can they still accommodate these dozens of people?"

Qin Keyong also looked helpless, the reason he said was no different from what his wife said, it was still an old problem: there was no yard for Qin Bai in the six-room ancestral house, so they couldn't be arranged to move in.

The long house is the eldest man, and the renovation of the ancestral house presided over by Qin Song, the Marquis of Chengen, naturally occupied as much land as possible to build the courtyard of the long house, and also occupied the part that should have belonged to Qin Bai. The courtyard belonging to the second room is not big, and there are also three entrances, which is the place where Qin Song gritted his teeth again and again before agreeing to allocate it to them. In these two places, the clan does not dare to meddle in the decision.

First, the Xue family and their son are all powerful people, and they can pull down their faces and splash with others, and the clan did not suffer less from Qin Bo's re-entry into the family tree, so they were afraid that the Xue family would cry and shout that they bullied orphans and widows, and told them how to behave?

Second, the Xue family is also a person from Jiangning, and they are a big local family, with considerable prestige and power, and they have a good relationship with the government. Although there is a queen and a marquis in the Qin clan, the queen has died a long time ago, and the marquis only cares about enjoying his wealth in the capital, and is not very enthusiastic about the affairs of the clan.

In this way, the clan and the clan are very decent to the second room, and they are in awe of the long room. For their two-room courtyard, no one dared to touch it. Even if the third room comes back, this is the case. When Xu Shi, the wife of the Marquis of Chengen, Changfang, wrote back to inform Qin Bai to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he did not mention how to arrange the accommodation of his family. If the Zongfang allowed Qin Bai's family to live in the courtyard of the long room or the second room without authorization, and caused the dissatisfaction of the long room or the second room afterwards, they would not be able to explain.

Qin Jian is Qin Song's grandson, and at this time, it can't be openly said that his grandfather's arrangement back then was selfish, so it would seem that Qin Song was too mean. He could only take the letter from Mrs. Xu, the Marquis of Chengen, to say something: "In the letter, my grandmother asked you to arrange the daily life of the third uncle and the ancestral family, just to believe that you will know what to do." The third uncle's ancestor was originally our six-room descendant, and if he didn't live in the six-room ancestral house, where could he live? This was a matter of course, and my grandmother didn't need to say it explicitly. Could it be that Uncle Cheng Keyong still plans to let her old man teach you hand-in-hand, which courtyard do you want to arrange the third uncle to go to?!"

Qin Ke smiled dryly, but he didn't say that he wanted to turn around, leading everyone to reroute to the ancestral house of the sixth room, and the three men of the Qin family were frozen there for a while. After a while, Qin Keyong said in a stiff voice: "Third uncle, the house in front of you is where you are going." I've refurbished it, and it's more comfortable than the ancestral home. ”

Neither Qin Bai nor Qin Jian paid attention to him.

In the carriage, in the face of Qin Hanzhen's questioning, Xiao Huang's face was still the same smile: "Third sister, don't worry, we are also helpless." When the ancestral house was rebuilt, it was not that no one reminded Cheng Enhou that he needed to leave a yard for the third uncle. Cheng Enhou said no, he is in a high position, what can we do with our clansmen? The uncle of the small second room is also an official, and we can't afford to offend either. It's just a place to live. You can rest assured, the house we are going to now is no worse than the six-room ancestral house. Your cousin and I have arranged it with our hearts!"

Qin Hanzhen sneered: "I don't see any need to drive my grandfather and grandmother to other people's houses in order to be afraid of the second room, and I won't even let in the door of the ancestral house." Since it is a six-room ancestral house, such a thing as the ancestral house sacrifice field cannot be moved when the family is separated, right? Before we left Beijing, we had just split up, and the ancestral house was naturally owned by the long house, and the second room asked for a Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was nothing to mention about the ancestral house. Therefore, now the ancestral house of the six-room house is already owned by the long house. There is only one elder brother who returned to my hometown with my grandfather, he is the eldest son and grandson, and he will inherit the family business of Changfang in the future, that is, the future owner of the ancestral house. He nodded, and we could move straight into the ancestral house. No matter which yard you live in, no one cares!"

Xiao Huang's face was stunned, and his smiling expression finally changed: "Split up......?" How could it be?!"

"Why won't they split up?" Niu Shi watched from the side for a long time, and his heart was already full of anger, "The three of them are all so old, and each room is full of children and grandchildren, how many people can live in a house in the capital? Naturally, it is better to divide the family early, so as not to be crowded in one place and panic! The emperor has given our lord a title and a house, and we must move out, so there is no reason not to separate the family!"

Xiao Huang reluctantly smiled: "Third aunt, don't worry, my nephew and daughter-in-law are just surprised...... The news of the separation has been there for a long time, but no one in the clan takes it seriously, and they think it's a joke......"

"Which one is laughing?, can you laugh at such a big event as splitting up the family?!" Niu snorted coldly, "Besides, don't think how reluctant the second room is." It's their family who brought it up. Originally, everyone said that they would talk about the separation of the family after the New Year next year, but the people in the second room Baba ran and said that next year was too far, and they couldn't wait. If they want to divide it, then divide it thoroughly! My granddaughter just said it well, the second room is not qualified to share the ancestral house, and we don't have the third room. But as long as the eldest grandson of the long house opens his mouth, we can live in it, and no one can stop us! Why don't you go and ask Brother Jian if he would like to let us live in?"

Xiao Huang doesn't have to ask about this matter, he can know the answer. Qin Jian was still questioning Qin Keyong. She bit her lip and seemed a little at a loss: "Third aunt, don't worry, my nephew and daughter-in-law really didn't mean that...... Alas, why did you make a fuss about splitting up your family? In the past, I heard that the Marquis Mansion in the capital was going to split up, but the little second room was not happy. The clan also felt that it was not good to do so. The orphans and widows in the small second room can only live by the Hou Mansion, and if they are separated, it will be too pitiful......"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "Orphans and widows? What age is that old Huang Li? Now that the eldest uncle is an official, and he has children and daughters, the second uncle and grandmother are also living a good life like the old feudal monarch, and the aunt should not talk about them too miserably." The second uncle and grandmother gave the eldest sister a good idea of a family, but the eldest uncle and grandmother objected, and the two had a quarrel, and the second uncle and grandmother said that they would split up, and after the separation, they would no longer be bound by the eldest uncle and grandmother, so that the eldest uncle and grandmother would not be in the way of her good granddaughter's good future. She had said it all to this point, and how could my aunt and uncle be wicked with us? My aunt didn't believe it, so she just wrote to the capital and asked, to see if the second room was going to be separated?"

Xiao Huang's eyes flashed: "The marriage of the eldest niece? I don't know which family the second aunt told her? Why is the eldest aunt unhappy?"

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "How can I, a girl, know about this kind of thing? It's so strange for my aunt to ask me!"

Xiao Huang was suddenly choked by her and couldn't speak.

Outside the carriage, Qin Jian was also saying to Qin Keyong: "Uncle Cousin, don't talk about the orphans and widows in the second room. My eldest uncle is still alive and well, he is an official, and he has both children and daughters, where did he come from orphans and widows? The second uncle and grandmother are also blessed old feudal lords, and there are a lot of girls and mothers-in-law in the yard, and there are rich private houses in their hands, and there are many fields and real estate and private properties outside. In July, the family was separated, and even the Xue family, several relatives and friends testified, and the second room made a fortune. Now who in the capital doesn't praise our Qin family's family style and fairness?! Moreover, the separation of the family was also vigorously promoted by the second uncle, grandmother and eldest uncle. We don't want to divide the long house so quickly, and they don't want to!"

After all the way through the experience, Qin Jian is no longer the innocent boy he was when he first came out of Beijing. From Qin Ke's arrangement with the husband and wife, he noticed that there was a difference, and he saw through the unkind intentions from the warm and smiling faces of the couple. Qin Bai is an elder, and he has always been generous, there are some things he can't say, Qin Jian has to say it for him. He is young, his status is high, and he speaks confidently, and Qin Keyong can't do anything about him.

Qin Keyong is not even a serious sect.

Seeing that the situation was about to stalemate, the more and more awkward the quarrel between the sect and the sixth room, the patriarch finally heard the news and rushed over.

He had a blue face, but he still had to smile, carefully greeted Qin Bai, and scolded his son again: "It's all the two of them messing around! Young and careless, they dare to do anything, and they don't understand the rules at all! I have been slightly infected with the wind and cold in the past few days, and his brother has been bedridden for many years, I originally thought that after a few days of rest, I would temporarily hand over the affairs of the clan to him to do, I thought that he was still a little smart, and he should be able to cope with it, but I didn't think that there was such a big mistake! I was really angry!"

Qin Bai's face was faint: "My cousin's words are serious. ”

The patriarch smiled dryly, and glared at his son again: "What are you doing here stupidly?!The six-room ancestral house has been cleaned? If the courtyard of the small second room is cleaned up, quickly arrange for your third uncle and third aunt to live in!"

Qin Ke said embarrassedly: "Father, the son thought that the little second room didn't come back, so he ...... I didn't clean up the yard over there......"

The patriarch was angry: "You bastard!" raised his foot to kick someone.

"Alright. Qin Bai was not in the mood to watch the play, "Since the house has not been cleaned up, let's go to the inn in the town for the time being." Let's wait until the house is cleaned up. Saying that, he really called Zhou Xiangnian and asked Zhou Xiangnian to find the inn.

Seeing this, Qin Jian also said angrily: "Then I will go to the guest house with the third uncle and ancestor! I can't leave the elders outside, and I will live in the ancestral house alone, right?"

The patriarch's face became even more ugly, and he secretly complained in his heart. There was a scene tonight, and I got up tomorrow morning to let the clansmen know that the old and young of the six rooms returned to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, but they were forced to not even live in the ancestral house, so they could only go to the inn outside, and the face of the sect house was about to be thrown to the ground and trampled!
