At that hour, the Zhong Mansion Chamber was full of Zhong family members.

Zhong Xuanlan put down the teacup and saw the people who were assigned, some of them were talking one after another, some were sitting quietly, some were full of ambition, and some were ecstatic......

Shaking your head slightly, I hope you will be like you are today.

The elder of the five clans of the Zhong family said: "Niece, let's start, my old man can't make noise, and he has a terrible headache." ”

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows and said, "Third uncle, now I want to remember the expressions of these people, there will be a contrast, how beautiful it is." ”

"You girl, be careful they bite you."

Zhong Xuanlan pursed his lips and said, "Then it depends on their ability, carry boxes on the winter solstice." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the winter solstice and summer solstice came in with a box, and everyone was silent.

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Take out the family property and account books for you to see." ”

"Yes." The winter solstice and summer solstice were unboxed, and the books began to be distributed to everyone with one book after another.

Zhong Xuanlan said leisurely: "Everyone take a good look, if you don't understand, just ask, and my subordinates and I will answer them one by one." ”

The crowd eagerly flipped through them, and some of them looked very bad and angry, some of them were pale, and some of them were extremely displeased......

Zhong Xuanlan admired everyone's expressions, and the elders of the five clans of the Zhong family shook their heads slightly, "Niece, let's talk about it, how much family property is there?" ”

Xia Zhi said: "According to the price estimate of Kyoto City, the total amount of the shop Zhuangzi is three million taels of silver. ”

Zhong Xuanche said: "How can it be so little? ”

Zhong Xuanlan said with a smile: "Brother Lobby, this is an estimate of the most, if you follow the price of Anzhou, the value of those Zhuangzi shops in Anzhou is much worse than that of Kyoto City." ”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at the clan elders and said, "Why is the family industry shrinking?" The clan elders should know more than us young people, you come and tell everyone here, make it clear, we will quickly divide the family business, and everyone can go home early. ”

The old man of the five clans of the Zhong family said: "Every year, I will give the Queen Mother an annual gift of one million taels and a birthday gift of one hundred and twenty thousand taels." ”

One person asked, "How will the head of the family come out in the future?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan hooked the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "You can come out how you appeared before." ”

Someone was reluctant and said, "But we have already branched." ”

The five clans of the Zhong family said: "In the past, the Zhong Mansion took out 1.5 million taels, and the family only gave 500,000 taels, and you don't also enjoy the convenience, don't the branches no longer pay money?" ”

Those who choose the side branch are embarrassed, and they are very reluctant to pay the money.

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at them mockingly, and retracted his gaze, some people really couldn't be too good to him.

He said in a cold tone: "If you don't want to go out, it's okay, we will take two million taels of the family property, and the rest is yours." ”

"I don't agree."

"I don't agree with that either."

“……”

Zhong Xuanlan looked at them without anger and said, "Do you want to sit back and enjoy it?" ”

The crowd was a little scared, but money took the lead and wanted to refute it again.

Zhong Xuanlan didn't let people have a chance to speak again, and glanced at the people on the side branches: "When the queen mother got married, my grandfather took out the family property to give her a dowry, and the clan elders added a part of the family property, but most of the clan elders wanted benefits, so they persuaded my grandfather to give the queen mother a dowry." ”

Zhong Xuanlan tapped his fingers on the table, and said: "But my Zhong Mansion has never treated the clansmen badly, for so many years, your grandfather took the initiative to bear most of the New Year's gifts and birthday gifts you proposed, but you are enjoying the benefits, aren't you?" Wouldn't they be able to enjoy these things anymore after they were divided? You are going to stay in Kyoto City, and we are going to leave, who will take advantage? ”

The crowd fell silent.

Zhong Xuanlan said again: "In the past, Fengyi Palace and Yanyu Tower were to be built in the palace, and my grandfather did not agree to pay a large amount of money, and it was the second uncle, the fifth uncle, the sixth uncle, and the seventh uncle who took the initiative to ask for the money. How much did those two palaces cost, don't you count in your hearts, that is also the majority of the silver money that my Zhong Mansion has paid. Do you forget about us when you get the benefits? ”

The crowd was even more silent.

Zhong Xuanlan continued: "Whenever the treasury is empty, all uncles donate a large amount of silver to the Queen Mother and the Emperor for the sake of benefits, don't you count?" If this is the case, I am afraid that there is not much left of the family business. ”

After Zhong Xuanlan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank tea, stared at everyone slowly, hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, I want me to suffer, in the next life.

The elder of the five clans of the Zhong family said: "Do what the head of the family says, I have no objection." ”

"Me too."

"I support the head of the family."

“……”

The branch had no objection, and the side branch didn't say anything more.

After that, they began to discuss various matters, and when the interests of both parties were touched, everyone would quarrel from time to time, Zhong Xuanlan wanted to get rid of it, and divide the Zhong Mansion, and it was not bad to be independent, which was more tiring than going to talk about business.

It wasn't until three days later that under Zhong Xuanlan's strength, the two sides compromised and divided the industry, clarified the responsibilities and interests of the two branches, set up a document as evidence, and signed the names and seals of the people present.

Zhong Xuanlan got up, stood in front of the table and looked at everyone, and said, "Everyone, I give you the last sentence of the side branch, there is a ruthless and unrighteous glutton, which is treating the Zhong family as a delicious snack, and takes a bite from time to time, please take care of your own things, I hope you cherish them." ”

Zhong Xuanlan walked out of the conference hall and exhaled, looking up at the sky under the moonlight, great-grandfather, great-granddaughter can only save so much for you.

"Summer and winter solstice."

As soon as Zhong Xuanlan walked out of the conference hall, Yahuan told her that Zhong Tinghao and they went to the dining room to wait for her.

Zhong Xuanlan first went to the warehouse to move a jar of peach blossom wine before going to the dining room.

In the dining room, Zhong Tinghao and the three of them were eating hot pot.

Wang Xuannian said happily: "Lan'er, you are here." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, sat down next to Wang Xuannian, and put the wine on the table.

"Sister, is it peach blossom wine?" Zhong Xuan approached Zhong Xuanlan, hugged the wine jar, immediately opened it and smelled it, and said excitedly: "Ah, peach blossom wine, sister, you are really good." ”

Zhong Tinghao hurriedly said, "Come on, pour me a glass." ”

Zhong Xuanli said, "Oh, but Dad, you seem to have drunk a lot better." ”

Zhong Tinghao reached out to grab it, and said, "Stinky boy, hurry up and ......"

Zhong Xuanlan watched Zhong Tinghao's father and son snatch the wine and smiled slightly.

Wang Xuannian handed the chopsticks to Zhong Xuanlan and said, "Give it." Then he said, "Lan'er, can I give you hot food?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "No, you can eat first." ”

Wang Xuannian didn't respond, smiled, took the chopsticks and began to cook for Zhong Xuanlan.

The family had a warm dinner, and after the meal, they chatted for a while before they dispersed.
