Xie Dongli stood up after speaking, this is what it means to end the conversation and leave.

Xie Dongyi had no choice but to stand up, his face full of discomfort.

The two of them left Xie Dongli's outer study and went back to their own courtyard in the inner courtyard.

Ying Sleeve saw Xie Dongli coming back, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Why is it so late today?" Is the Prime Minister's Court busy? ”

Xie Dongli let her serve her and took off her coat outside, and went to the screen to change into the regular clothes worn at home, while saying: "As soon as I came back, I was called away by my eldest brother, and told him about the family separation order, and asked him to clean up the ancestral property of the family." ”

"Separation order?" Yingsleeve's hand paused, and he looked at Xie Dongli who came out from behind the screen suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

"Well, the decree drafted by His Majesty has already been discussed at today's court meeting. If the father and mother have passed away and the children have reached adulthood, the family must be separated. Xie Dongli sat down, "Where's dinner?" I am hungry. ”

Yingsleeve's eyebrows jumped, and he was very happy in his heart, and sat down with him, "So, we have divided this family?" ”

"Hmm."

“…… Then I'm not out of place today. Ying Sleeve looked at Xie Dongli, slowly said today's events, pointed to a few packages on the cabinet on the wall, and said: "I have done such a thing, this family will definitely not be able to stay anymore, so I have asked my maid to pack up her things and prepare to move out." Now that we have a separation order, we are even more justified. ”

Xie Dongli looked at her with a smile, then looked at the package on the cabinet next to the wall, nodded and said, "Finally tell me the truth." Why don't you hide it? ”

"Where do I have?" Yingsleeve blushed a little, "I just don't want to say that your brother and sister-in-law are not in front of you, no matter what." They have a great favor to you, although they are not very good to me, but it is also between me and them, and it has nothing to do with you. I don't want you to be caught in the middle. ”

"Isn't it stupid? I am your husband, I speak for you, how can I be caught in the middle and difficult to be a person? They have great kindness to me, but my Xie family also has great kindness to them. Let's really talk about it. They owe us, not us. Xie Dongli rubbed his sleeved hand, his eyes were resolute and firm. Sleeves, you should understand that the same is true between relatives, you take a step back. The other side will go further. In the end, it becomes normal, and if you don't retreat, you owe them. It's not going to work, it's not living. If I continue to be appeased and accommodated like this, I don't even have to do it, and I don't want to do this. ”

In fact, in Xie Dongli's heart, no one is more kind to him than Yingsleeve, but she has always been cautious in front of him. Not to mention coercion in return, even arrogance and presumptuousness have not been excessive.

Also. It's not easy to be a little daughter-in-law at home, especially if she doesn't have a father-in-law and mother-in-law, only two strong sisters-in-law, what can she do if she doesn't retreat?

Ying Sleeve looked at Xie Donglian's expression carefully, and saw that he was not the slightest reluctant, so he nodded and said, "It's good that you know this, I don't want to even have relatives to do it." And your sister-in-law has a really big heart, I don't know what she's planning for, but my mother said that your sister-in-law was a person with a heart when she was a girl. You have to be careful. ”

Xie Dongli nodded, "Okay, let's go have dinner." ”

After dinner, the two went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Last night was ridiculous, and today is another day, Yingsleeve is really tired, and when he goes to bed again, he refuses to let him get close again.

Xie Dongli pursed his lips and smiled, pulled her into his arms and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Sleep, we won't do anything else today." ”

Yingsleeve slept well this night, and woke up almost at the same time as Xie Dongli the next day.

"I still have to go to the Prime Minister's Pavilion to finish the promulgation of the "Family Separation Order", you can prepare it at home, you don't have to pack up the baggage, we won't move out." Xie Dongli smiled and gave Ying Sleeve the truth.

Ying Sleeve was serving fragrant glutinous rice porridge to Xie Dongli, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and his two hands paused on the porridge basin, and said, "Aren't you going to split up?" ”

They are the youngest sons and daughters-in-law, and they can't live in the ancestral house, so they will be separated.

Xie Dongli smiled and took the porridge bowl and spoon from her hand, "It's to split the family, but this is our family, you are the grandmother of our Xie family's eldest house, where do we move to?" ”

Yingsleeve gasped.

Listening to Xie Dongli's meaning, he didn't want to recognize the eldest brother and second brother, but wanted them to restore their original surname.

"Are you really going to do that?"

"Well, I have to." After Xie Dongli finished breakfast, he went to the second gate.

However, halfway through, a mother-in-law blocked his way, bowed down and said, "Fifth master, the eldest lady, please go and speak." ”

"I have business, and I have something to say when I come back." Xie Dongli said lightly and walked away.

The woman didn't dare to stop him again, and when she saw him go out of the second door, she hurriedly ran back to report the news.

"Just gone?" Lu Ruilan stood up on the table, "You didn't tell him that I was talking to him?" ”

"Of course I did, but the fifth master said that he had business, and he would talk about it after he came back at night." The woman replied tremblingly, for fear that Lu Ruilan would punish her.

Lu Ruilan waved her hand, "You go down and let the second lady come to me." ”

Ning Shumei hurried over, sweat on her forehead, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

"You see, yesterday the fifth brother and sister blew the wind on the pillow. This morning I asked the fifth brother to come over to talk, and the fifth brother didn't come, so he left, although it was important for business, but you and I both know that as long as it is not a big court, it doesn't matter if you go to the Prime Minister's Pavilion a little earlier or later. This is obviously the fifth brother and sister who lied to us last night, and the fifth brother is uncomfortable with us. Lu Ruilan's face was very ugly.

"Sister-in-law...... If you want me to say, they are husband and wife, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal for the fifth brother to favor the fifth brother and sister......" Ning Shumei cautiously persuaded Lu Ruilan, "And the fifth brother and sister are princesses, with such a family background, character, and appearance, it is impossible for the fifth brother not to be tempted." What can we do? Even if it's a child's business, it won't be effective for a while, so why don't you wait? ”

"Can't wait any longer. He has separated from us. Lu Ruilan walked around the house irritably, very uneasy about this uncontrollable situation.

Ning Shumei didn't say anything more. After staying in Lu Ruilan's room for a while, he said goodbye and left.

Yingsleeve didn't pack up his things here, and ordered the maid to put the things back again.

Cai Yun quietly asked Ying Sleeve: "Fifth lady." Is this not gone? ”

"Well, don't go. The fifth master has an idea. Yingsleeve said with a smile.

……

Lu Ruilan waited until the evening when the lights were in place, and then waited for Xie Dongli to come back.

She ordered someone to wait at the second gate, and as soon as Xie Dongli came back, she asked him to come to her to talk.

Xie Dongli followed.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking for me?" Xie Dongli arched his hand and said hello to Lu Ruilan.

Lu Ruilan looked at him with a complicated expression. Said: "Fifth brother, when I married in, you were not born yet. When your father-in-law died, you were only three years old, and in a blink of an eye, you married a wife and started a family. ”

It's time to play the emotional card.

Xie Dongli said quietly: "Sister-in-law, when my eldest cousin followed my father and my mother to Dongyuan Kingdom. It is also a toddler of two or three years old. About my age. ”

This is to remind Lu Ruilan that their surname is Liu, not Xie. If the grace of nurturing is as heavy as a mountain, the nurturing grace of Xie Dongli's father and mother to Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming is enough to offset Lu Ruilan's nurturing grace to him.

As soon as Lu Ruilan heard the title of "eldest cousin-in-law", it was like being punched in the nose by someone, the pain was sore, and tears poured out at once. She choked up and said, "Fifth brother, do you really want to do so much?" Can the affection between relatives be counted in this way? It's not like you go to the bazaar to buy something. Give me a tael of silver, and I will give you a foot of brocade. You said this, which made my sister-in-law very sad, do you know? ”

Xie Donglian's face was also a little unbearable, he was silent for a long time before he said: "I don't want to count it like this, it's just that my eldest cousin is the first year of junior high school, and I can't do it if I don't do fifteen." ”

"Are you still complaining that I'm not good to my fifth siblings?" Lu Ruilan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "In my heart, no one is more important than you, you can't just take care of her, take care of your little family, and ignore us." ”

Xie Dongli suddenly became a little tired.

He was never tired when facing the Southern Zheng Great Witch, nor was he tired when facing the Northern Qi army, and even when he was facing the ancestral gods, he was not tired.

But in the face of Lu Ruilan's approach, he felt exhausted.

"Sister-in-law, I already told my cousin yesterday that you can't put your sleeves against you. If you think that I can only choose one side between Sleevesleeve and you, then you have never regarded Sleevesleeve as a family, nor have you treated me as a family. In this case, let's not talk about family affection, I have already been used by you as a weapon to blackmail me, sister-in-law, so it doesn't matter. Xie Dongli took a deep breath, straightened his spine, and looked a little impatient, "Sister-in-law, this is the first time and the last time I say it." Your Liu family's reputation has been restored, and you shouldn't be incognito anymore. ”

The tea cup in Lu Ruilan's hand fell to the ground with a bang, the tea splashed everywhere, and her skirt was splashed.

"You're going to drive us away?" Lu Ruilan never expected that everything she did did not restrain Xie Donglian's heart, but pushed him farther and farther.

"It's not to drive you away, but to restore the glory of the Liu family." Xie Dongli said, "The Liu family is also a big family in Northern Qi, and the emperor of Northern Qi gave the eldest cousin and second cousin titles to the Liu family. Now that the talents in the Northern Qi army are withering, the eldest cousin and the second cousin are really condescending in my Eastern Yuan Kingdom, so it is better to go back to Northern Qi to find another way out, maybe they can be more prominent than in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom. ”

Lu Ruilan smiled bitterly: "How many catties and taels does your eldest brother and second brother have, do you think I don't know?" If we really have the ability, how could our Xie family have been ruined for so many years? Besides, they have been deputy generals in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, once they make it public, when they return to the Northern Qi Dynasty, it would be good to be able to be a rich man, how could they be reused in the Northern Qi Dynasty? ”

"The way is made by man. The eldest cousin should not be presumptuous. The eldest and second cousins are brave and unmatched, and I admire them. Xie Dongli stood up, "The "Separation Order" will be issued tomorrow, and our Xie family will open an ancestral hall the day after tomorrow to split up. He arched his hand again.

"Fifth brother, I'm all for your good, you have great talent, how can you always be subservient?" Lu Ruilan was in a hurry, and hurriedly put her plans together, "If you promise not to separate the family, your sister-in-law will definitely give you the supreme glory in the world!" ”

"Big cousin!" Xie Dongli shouted at her and walked further. said word by word: "What I Xie Dongli wanted, I have always won by myself." Sister-in-law, hello to yourself. He said. Go off in a huff.

Lu Ruilan sat in the hall and didn't speak for a long time.

She looked at the bricks and tiles, the grass and trees, the tables and chairs, clenched her fists hard, clenched them, and then let go. Hold it tightly, let it go again, and feel like a river and a sea.

Xie Dongli will regret it. Will definitely regret it.

Wait until that day, if he comes to her, she will tell him that she does. It's all for the eternal inheritance of their Xie family......

……

The days passed quickly. The "Separation Order" was finally promulgated throughout the country.

The preacher preached the benefits of the "Separation Order" up and down in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, to the extent that wherever there was well water, there was a preacher.

The "Separation Order" was like a hurricane, sweeping up and down the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

Compared with the right to collect troops, the implementation of the "Separation Order" is much better.

Because there were so many people who benefited from it, the elders of those big families found that it would take several generations of hard work to gather together for a huge family. But to dismantle it, all it takes is a decree.

There is only one head of the family. The eldest has only one room.

And under the head of the family and the eldest house, there are countless partial branches and concubines, and their number greatly exceeds that of the eldest house.

The five-phase family in the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom is also facing the dilemma of separation.

But among them, the wives of the Shen family, the Zhang family and the Lu family are still alive, and there is no need to separate for the time being.

The only one who didn't have the older generation in the hall was the Xie family.

Xie Dongli is also the vice minister in charge of the promulgation of the "Separation Order" throughout the country, so he has become a model for the implementation of the "Separation Order" in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and countless people's eyes have turned to the Xie family's mansion.

After Lu Ruilan finished talking to Xie Dongli that day, she fell ill.

She has been in charge of the Xie family all these years, and as soon as she is sick, the Xie family's property cannot be counted, at least Ning Shumei doesn't know where to start at all, she only counts the things in their second room.

Anyway, they would move out of the second room, so she didn't follow Lu Ruilan to continue.

The inner courtyard and outer courtyard of the Xie family turned into a pot of porridge in two days.

Xie Dongli and Ying Sleeve didn't speak, after all, it's only been two days, it's chaotic, and the sky can't fall.

On the third day, Xie Dongli came to the upper room of the main courtyard where Lu Ruilan and Xie Dongyi lived with Ying Sleeves, and said to Ning Shumei, Xie Dongming and Xie Dongyi, who were waiting there: "After saying that we will split up today, I don't like to be untrustworthy. ”

"But the fifth brother, the sister-in-law is still sick, the things at home are messy, and nothing is cleaned up, how can I divide it?" Ning Shumei whispered, glancing at the curtain on the other side.

She knew that Lu Ruilan was born with a "heart disease", so she listened quietly over there.

"Hehe, yes, it's not good to clean up. But this is my Xie family's business, and there is nothing to share. Xie Dongli dusted off his robe, ordered someone to bring in a large box, and opened it, and there was a pile of account books inside, "I have sent a report to Your Majesty, I want to restore your surname Liu, and remove your name from my Xie family tree." The dowry of the two cousins-in-law, the two cousins' income and private property over the years have never entered my Xie family's account, so everything in the account book in this box is the Xie family's belongings, and there is no need to divide them. ”

When Lu Ruilan heard this behind the curtain, she suddenly felt that the world was spinning, her face was pale, and she fell to the ground and fainted.

"Big lady? Big lady?! Her maid cried out in panic and helped her up.

Xie Dongyi and Xie Dongming were stunned, looked at Xie Dongli for some reason, and said in unison: "Fifth brother, what are you doing?" Everyone is a family, and it's just a matter of separation, how can you remove our ranking from the family tree?! ”

"Big cousin, second cousin, don't you want to restore the surname Liu?"

"Of course I want to, but we are also the Xie family! Besides, in Northern Qi, we have already restored the surname Liu, so why bother to change the surname Liu back in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom? ”

"That's not going to work." Although Xie Donglian's voice was calm and indifferent, there was no doubt, "You continue to have the surname Xie, not only is it disrespectful to your ancestors of the Liu family, but also sorry for my father and my mother!" ”
