After that, it was only a little more than a month, and everything was ready for the separation. The ancestral hall was reopened, and the old lady struggled to get up from the bed to sign and draw the charge, which dragged the Jianzhou elders for more than half a month.

Sister Hui didn't know how the property was distributed, and she didn't care. At the beginning of April, he packed his luggage, and Chu Jinmin took the family out of Anning Houfu.

On the day she left, the old lady was still lying in bed and had not seen each other.

On the second door, Qiao led the four children out to stand and see each other.

"Big brother, Master Hou still has some things to deal with, I hope you will forgive me." Qiao's face was embarrassed and he saluted

"What the younger siblings said, thanks to the younger siblings taking care of a few children over the years. Big brother is here to thank you! ”

Qiao smiled and returned the salute. He also asked Brother Jing, Brother Feng, Sister Jing, and Sister Yan to salute Chu Jinmin together. Chu Jinmin's side also asked Sister Hui to give a few return gifts.

In the crowd, Sister Hui saw that the second brother who loved to laugh the most in the past had no smile on his face, and the calm and loving eldest brother also avoided her gaze when she saw her. Sister Yan'er has always had more ridicule on her cold face, and Sister Jing, who really treats her as a sister and a friend, also pouted her head.

Sister Hui is still a little lost in her heart, although it has been difficult all these years, but the eldest brother, second brother and Sister Jing treat her sincerely, but what she did hurt their hearts.

"Farewell, brother and sister, please." Chu Jinmin hugged his fists and saluted, and said.

Qiao nodded with a smile, then turned around and went back to the backyard.

Chu Jinmin sighed when he saw this: "No wonder your mother was happy and defensive about her back then, she was indeed a smart woman." ”

When Sister Hui heard this, she understood the meaning of this in her heart. What the Qiao clan did this time, in the eyes of Chu Jinzhang and the old lady, although it was a betrayal of the position, but if you think about it carefully, the children of the next generation will still call the same person as their grandfather, and in the future, who in the same clan will have a short hand and a long hand, this is also called leaving a line in doing things, and we will see each other in the future.

"Daddy, do you want to return the mansion over there in Qingxiang?" Their big house was divided into a five-in, five-out house on the side of Juxianfang, and they had to move over.

"That house is the dowry left by Yinyan's mother before her death, and the old princess means that it will be counted directly as a dowry for you." On the way, Chu Jinmin said with a smile.

"A few days ago, Daddy went to Prince Ke's Mansion for this matter?" Sister Hui couldn't help but ask curiously

"Well, what the old prince and the old princess mean is that when the matter is settled on our side, they will ask the saint to grant marriage, and by the way, the day will be set. It's just that now I look at this matter, I'm afraid it will have to be delayed. Chu Jinmin smiled, looked at Sister Hui and frowned.

Sister Hui didn't want to ask the reason, so Chu Jinmin continued: "The war in Northern Xinjiang is coming to an end, but at this time, the commander of the right army on the side of the third prince was infected with the epidemic, and the third prince recommended Yin Yan to the post of temporary acting commander. ”

"But his age" Although Xia Nanjing is a member of the royal family, he is still young, and his qualifications are only hanging in the army, and he has no real power, and he is afraid that he will not be at ease if he suddenly goes to the battlefield as the commander-in-chief.

"The Holy One has allowed. You don't know, now that the war in northern Xinjiang is stable, the enemy and us are in a stalemate, General Sima's illness has already taken the imperial doctor, and Yin Yan went to help stabilize the army's heart and help the three princes watch. Chu Jinmin understood what his daughter meant by hesitation and explained.

Walking out of the mansion, Sister Hui and Chu Jinmin separated, and took the carriage with Sister Lian, Chu Jinmin rode in front, Brother Xuan was young, but he was wild, and he also learned to ride a horse early, so he followed. But Brother Wen has always been interested in studying, so he had to take a sedan chair. Before Sister Hui got into the car, she saw Chu Jinmin frowning and showing dissatisfaction.

As the name suggests, Juxian Fang gathers the virtuous and capable. This is a good name and a good place, but it is not necessarily the case for Chu Jinmin's family.

Because although this place is still the place where the powerful people in Beijing live, most of them live in Qingliu Shilin, and they are not on the same stream as the noble families like the Chu family. Since Qingliu and Xungui have a natural estrangement, the mansion here is also the father of the old marquis who made meritorious service outside, and Emperor Wu gave it.

The house is a good house, but the princes of the Chu family have always disliked it, and the main reason is that it is not compatible with the neighbors, and it is inconvenient to live. After the division of the family's property was decided, Chu Jinmin informed Sister Hui that he handed over the rough drawings to her, intending to ask her to arrange and tidy up. When I first saw the ink painting, I also thought that the old lady had bad intentions.

Afterwards, Sister Hui talked to Chu Jinmin, but Chu Jinmin said with a smile: "This is just a loan, where to live is different." We'll be back soon. ”

At this moment, Sister Hui was standing in the courtyard, looking at the green calyx peonies that had sprouted sprouts and planted by herself who had moved from the leisurely house, and couldn't help but smile at the ink painting and ordered: "Feel free, we won't live here for long." ”

At the end of April, even Chu Jinli's family moved out of Anning Houfu.

In the past month, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has successively found evidence that Chu Jinzhang received bribes, and reported it to the imperial case, and the eunuch invited Chu Jinzhang to enter the palace.

"Dad, my daughter doesn't understand, why only the third uncle was investigated, the bribes of the fifth prince were distributed to several families to help with the luck, and the third uncle actually had at least 100,000 taels in his hands. The Holy One gave up the title for the 100,000 taels of silver? ”

"Naturally not. Since your third uncle succeeded to the title, his official rank has risen and he has become the secretary of the second-grade criminal department. is in a high position, who has not been corrupt and bribed, but the old accounts in the past have also been turned over. In addition, although your third uncle is also cautious, he is really greedy, and he has been greedy for a lot of silver taels over the years with the fifth prince, and there are many confused cases. If it weren't for Brother Jing'er who had found the Kong family, a good father-in-law, earlier, I was afraid that something would have to come out, and the title would not have been kept. Chu Jinmin sat behind the bookcase and said lightly.

"As for why he checked his family, naturally he was also the fifth prince who lost the car to protect the handsome, since he was bitten by our side, he had to be cut if he couldn't be saved!"

"But when my mother was alive, I said that you and she have worked hard all these years to regain that title." Sister Hui couldn't help but say anxiously

"If it is not broken, it will not stand, the name of Anning Houfu has been tied to the old lady and your third uncle on the road to seize the heir for so long, and there are many unclear things inside. If I don't uproot it at this time, if I attack the lord in the future, I will definitely hide many calamities. Chu Jinmin smiled and said slowly.

Sister Hui lowered her head and pondered, this is indeed the case.

"By the way, Daddy, let's move to a new house, my godmother asked if I would like to take this opportunity to hold a small banquet and have a lively time, and our family can also take the opportunity to contact everyone in Beijing." Sister Hui is now entrusted with the important task of being in charge of the backyard by Chu Jinmin. Xia Shi mentioned it to her, and asked her to discuss it with Chu Jinmin, if she wanted to do it, she might as well come to Sister Hui in person.

"Well, your godmother is right, but although you have a flexible brain, you are still a little younger, and there are many ways to deal with people. Everyone also knows that your mother is not here, since this is the case, hold a small banquet among the people close to you, and only invite the female relatives who are close to you, how to rectify the law, and ask your godmother for advice. As for the person that Dad wants to invite, he will hand it over to the housekeeper to take care of it, you don't have to care. ”

Chu Jinmin felt sorry for her daughter in the end, although she called the backyard to give her full power, but she often took into account her situation and invited two powerful housekeepers to help.

"Yes, Daddy, my daughter is leaving."

"Well, if you don't understand the specific matters, you can hand them over to the housekeeper or ask your godmother, or you can ask your father." Chu Jinmin explained again.

"Got it, Daddy, the older you get, the more nagging you get." Sister Hui complained, made a grimace, and quickly ran away with a smile, leaving Chu Jinmin to sigh amusedly.
