Chapter 15 Dividing
Su Shanyun thought about it and was ready to step forward and knock on the door.
But before he could reach the door, he stopped again.
How do you disclose it? Will they take her word for it? With their ingenuity, they must have figured out the reliability of her words, right?
Su Shanyun hesitated for a moment.
But if she didn't say it, she was not at ease, afraid that the second uncle would secretly throw herself into the future, so she knocked on the door and went in.
Su Ziming and Su Zizhao, sitting under the orange light, were like twin brothers, they sat face to face on the big kang near the window, with an antique mahogany coffee table in the middle, which was quite a long conversation. Seeing Su Shanyun come in, a warm smile appeared on the originally strict faces of the two.
"Come on, come on, come and sit." Su Zi Ming Dynasty Su Shanyun beckoned.
Su Shanyun sat on the cloisonnΓ© enamel lotus pond pattern embroidery pier in front of the big kang.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Su Ziming asked her softly.
"I want to come and chat with Daddy and Second Uncle." Su Shanyun raised her little face like the morning glow and said.
Su Ziming and Su Zizhao laughed.
"Are you also interested in the topic of men?" Su Zizhao laughed and teased her.
Su Shanyun blushed and nodded.
"Okay, let's talk about it then." Su Zizhao said with a smile.
Su Shanyun pondered how to speak.
In the end, she decided to speak in the most straightforward way.
"Second uncle, is the situation in the capital unstable?" Su Shanyun asked softly.
It turns out that this girl heard it outside the door. The two brothers looked at each other.
Su Zizhao lowered his voice and replied, "It feels like some." In this sea, people are naturally afraid that it will suddenly have wind and waves. But you don't have to worry about me, I'll be careful. β
"Well, I also believe that the second uncle can make a 10,000-year-old ship. It's just that the situation is not clear now, and it is not necessarily that the people who are in power right now can always be in power, second uncle, you might as well stand by and watch for the time being, maybe it will become clear in a few years. β
Su Ziming and Su Zizhao couldn't help but be surprised.
They are all smart people, so they naturally understand what Su Shanyun meant, but they don't know why she has such a judgment - as if they have predicted the outcome of something.
"Does Shanyun also pay attention to political affairs?" Su Zizhao looked at her with some surprise and asked.
Su Shanyun's expression suddenly became a little cramped, she shook her head, and said in a low voice: "It is said in the book that if you want to succeed, you have to be surprised, and most of the people who will use this tactic are not high-profile but very capable, right?" Just now you talked about the Sixth and Seventh Princes, so I dared to guess that there may be more powerful characters than them, but he is a little deep. β
Su Ziming and Su Zizhao glanced at each other again, smiling without saying a word.
They all heard what she was saying.
"I'm just speculating, I'm not going to say anything about it." Su Shanyun blushed and got up to say goodbye.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Two days later, Su Shanyun's cousin Su Zixin returned from the capital.
As soon as Su Zixin arrived home, Guo told him about the division of the old house: "It is said that the eldest son is like a father, if it weren't for the support of your father's thrift and physical support, where would your uncle be able to gain fa......me without distractions" The implication is to remind Su Zixin not to be too kind at the critical moment.
Su Zixin said with a smile: "I know, cousins, they are not insatiable people, so they will naturally try their best to be fair and just." β
Guo Shi glared at him, pouted and said: "You will only say that you know, when they cry poor, you will be soft-hearted, our family Su Qi will get married early next year, and it will also need a lot of money." Su Lin's tuition fee for each semester is not a small amount, and there is a large family of people who have to cope with food and clothing, which one does not need money? β
Su Qi is the eldest son of Su Zixin and Guo's family, 20 years old this year, currently serving as the political secretary in Sichuan, the official from the seventh grade, because of the busy government affairs, so this year Qingming will not go home. Su Lin is their second son, 16 years old this year, studying at Zhi Xing Academy. Su Sun-hagi is their third child and their only daughter.
"Don't worry, I'm not so stupid as not to fight for what I should have gotten for." Su Zixin patted her shoulder and comforted. Guo Shi changed his smile at this time.
The next morning, everyone agreed to hold a family meeting in Dongli Juli in Su Mansion to discuss the division of the silver taels after the sale of the old house.
Except for Su Qi, who did not participate, the rest of the two families were all present.
Su Ziming reported the number of the old Beijing official.
"He said he wanted to buy it before the end of the month if it was suitable." Su Ziming said. Then he took out the deed of the old house.
Back then, because most of the time it was Su Ziming's father who was in charge of the big and small things in the old mansion, the deed had always been kept by his children and grandchildren.
The deed says that when they bought this house, they each paid three thousand taels of silver, and Su Ziming and Su Zizhao's fathers paid eight thousand taels.
"Big brother, what do you think is better?" Su Ziming asked Su Zixin.
Su Zixin glanced at Guo Shi quickly, and said a little hesitantly: "Although my father's silver taels were not much when he bought the house, he had no way in that situation. So I think that between brothers, love comes first, money and silver come second. β
But the implication is that we want to split as much as possible.
Everyone heard what he meant.
Guo Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xiao's face was not very good-looking.
"Nephew, how do you want to divide it according to what you mean?" Mrs. Xiao asked Su Zixin that she wanted to hear a more definite answer.
Su Zixin blinked, glanced at Guo again, and saw that Guo looked like he wanted the lion to open his mouth, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
He couldn't say the words 'five or five points', so he looked at Mrs. Xiao, Su Ziming and Su Zizhao with a smile and said, "Then how do you think it's better to divide them?" β
"We'd like to hear from you first." Su Ziming said with a smile, as if even what Su Zixin said couldn't scare him no matter how outrageous it was.
"Shu Xia, what do you think?" Su Zixin turned his head and asked Guo.
Seeing that her husband cared about her opinion, Guo's heart suddenly felt like drinking honey, but she said modestly on her face: "It's up to you to decide such a big matter." β
Su Zixin said to Mrs. Xiao: "Let me look at four or six points, we are four, you are six, how about it?" β
Guo's face was pulled down, and Mrs. Xiao's face was even more unsightly.
Su Ziming and Su Zizhao glanced at each other, and neither of them could see the slightest expression on their faces.
"Mother, what do you think?" Su Ziming asked Mrs. Xiao.
Su Yunshan sat next to her grandmother, and she could feel her grandmother trembling all over.
She knew that her grandmother was really angry, and she also felt that her cousin's request was a bit excessive, so she whispered, "I think three or seven points will be more reasonable." β
Guo's eyes slashed at Su Shanyun like a sharp knife.
Mrs. Xiao, Su Ziming, Su Zizhao, and Feng nodded approvingly.
"I also think Shanyun is right, three or seven points is also the closest to the number of silver taels from Uncle and Daddy back then." Su Zizhao said.
In fact, this kind of division is enough to give Su Zixin's family face.
But Su Zixin looked unhappy.
"Let's support each other, I have two sons now, and I need to buy a new house when I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, the family really needs money and silver, and the family expenses of the two of you are not as big as ours......" Su Zixin used Guo's crying trick.
"Nephew, who is not a big family to raise? Ziming will soon remarry, and at that time, the dowry will need money, and there will be more money in the future, and there will be more places where silver is needed. And Zizhao's side is also preparing to have one or two, you also know that firewood, rice, oil and salt in the capital are expensive......" Mrs. Xiao said without showing weakness.
"What Auntie said is true, but isn't it clear who is more lacking?" Guo didn't care about anything else, and came up with a word.
"Then according to what you say, whoever is poorer can be unreasonable, right?" Mrs. Xiao shot back with a cold face.
Just now, Mrs. Xiao was a little soft-hearted for a moment, and felt that she would either be divided into four or six according to Su Zixin's words, but now when she heard Guo say this, she was determined to refuse to divide it into four or six points.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? I'm just laying out the situation in our family. Guo Shi replied with an aggrieved face.
Su Zixin was very distressed when he saw it, so he said, "Then let's take a step back, how about four five and five five?" β
Su Ziming and Su Zizhao discussed quietly for a while, and then talked to Mrs. Xiao again, and Mrs. Xiao's stiff face gradually eased.
"In this way, we discussed it and felt that three or seven cents is still the most reasonable, but since you think that your family needs money and silver turnover more, then my brother and I are willing to return five hundred taels of silver to you each, how about this?"
Guo pouted, Su Zixin thought it was feasible, but he saw that Guo was not satisfied, and it was difficult to make a decision.
"If you are not satisfied with this, then we will ask the court or the clan elders to make a decision." Su Zizhao said.
Su Zixin hurriedly said: "Then why bother? That's so hurtful and angry. After that, he looked at Guo, and saw that Guo's face was still bitter, and he couldn't make up his mind again.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly in her heart, and said slowly: "That's good, I'll take out another thousand taels of private money to subsidize you, and now it's not far from the four .5 and 5.5 points you mentioned." β
"Mother, how can I ask you to pay for this?" Su Ziming was anxious and hurriedly discussed with Su Zizhao.
Su Zizhao then promised that the thousand taels would also be paid by the two brothers.
Mrs. Xiao smiled and nodded with emotion, proud that she had given birth to such filial two sons.
Su Zixin and Guo didn't dare to say anything more, so they signed a sharing contract.
Three days later, the old house was sold.
Su Zizhao, Feng and their two children also returned to Beijing on the fourth day.
Mrs. Xiao stayed, and she wanted to help Zhang Luo Su Ziming remarry.
In everyone's eager anticipation, Su Ziming finally waited for Su Zizhao's letter, which conveyed Zhang Ying's views on Su Ziming's marriage proposal.
