Chapter 286: Tearing Before Separation
The Wen family is not big, but small is not small.
There are still a few people who have been officials, Jiang Yue has been in office for more than 20 years, and there are still a few people who know him.
The leading patriarch immediately led everyone and knelt down towards Jiang Yue: "Participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Only then did the people who realized it react, and in the mourning hall, a group of people knelt down.
Jiang Yue glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Wen Qingzhu, who was submerged in the crowd.
The plague in the palace has already spread, and although the entire palace is on alert, the symptoms seem to have changed.
Some of the drugs that used to work are starting to be less effective.
The High Court ruled that he would ask the emperor to let Wen Qingzhu enter the palace to help.
Originally, Jiang Yue wanted to send someone over directly to bring Wen Qingzhu over, but Lu Lei, who was newly in, reminded that today was the day of Wen Guanbin's burial.
Jiang Yue thought about it and decided to come over to see it in person, but he didn't expect to meet the Wen family and want to break up.
He didn't go in for the time being, wanting to hear how the Wen family coped.
But I didn't expect to hear Wen Qingzhu's impassioned and righteous words.
I have to say that these words reached Jiang Yue's heart.
The aristocracy of the capital is becoming more and more entrenched, and there are not a few cases of sons like Wen Bogui inheriting their father's position.
Before coming, Jiang Yue deliberately asked people to report the affairs of the Wen family.
The Wen family has been working in the Ministry of Industry since Wen Guanbin's father's generation, and in the hands of Wen Guanbin, the Wen family's status in the Ministry of Industry has been fixed.
Although Wen Guanbin was only a minor official from the fifth rank to his death, it was not an important position.
But Wen Bogui has also served in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and his connections have been fixed, and there is no problem in inheriting Wen Guanbin's official position.
A small Wen family is still like this, and other high-ranking families even directly indicate their official positions.
In recent years, Jiang Yue has seen less and less children of the Han family appear in the court.
This is not a good sign.
Now that there are many natural and man-made disasters in the south, he also knows in his heart that these incumbent officials cannot reach the bottom of the people at all.
Disaster relief every year, tax exemption every year, but it is not as good as a year.
Jiang Yue was bored in his heart, and Concubine Cheng went out of the palace, which made Concubine Li start to jump up again, and Marquis Jingyuan was becoming more and more presumptuous in the court.
Hearing that the plague was likely to spread, many questions pressed on his heart, Jiang Yue was in a very bad mood.
But he didn't expect Wen Qingzhu's words to make his heart suddenly brighten.
The silent glance made the people in the mourning hall tremble.
Only Wen Qingzhu looked as usual, calm and calm.
Jiang Yue finally said: "Flat." ”
After everyone got up, without exception, they lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to gasp.
Only a few people dared to look up at Jiang Yue, and among them was Wen Qingzhu.
The gloom on Jiang Yue's face was a little less, and his tone softened a little: "Girl, come here." ”
Wen Qingzhu walked over and saluted Jiang Yue again, and did not look at King Ning and King Chu.
Jiang Yue glanced at Wen Guanbin's coffin: "I heard that your grandfather died in front of you?" ”
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu told me about the events of that day.
finally talked about Su Huo: "Thanks to Lord Su, the courtiers were able to clear their grievances, but there is no accurate news about why my grandfather died." ”
Jiang Yue frowned, glanced at the old and young of the Wen family, and finally fixed his gaze on Wan's body, pointed at her and asked, "Is she the eldest aunt?" Is she going to break up? ”
"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu looked at it, Wan Shi was already trembling like chaff, and Wen Bogui, who was kneeling next to him, was even more covered in cold sweat.
After all, I didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly come.
Jiang Yue didn't say much, but whenever everyone is involved, there will always be all kinds of fights and accidents.
Jiang Yue, who was in the royal family, knew best, so he didn't say much, only left a sentence: "Since you still have things, then when your affairs are done, you will go to the palace to see me." ”
"Yes, the courtiers send your majesty." Wen Qingzhu didn't know which one Jiang Yue came from, but she still had to do whatever she wanted.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The sound of the fluctuation echoed in the mourning hall, watching Jiang Yue and the others slowly leave.
After a long quarter of an hour, when Jiang Yue finally couldn't see the figure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The room was quiet again, the patriarch looked at Wen Qingzhu, then at Wan and Wen Bogui, and finally said, "Then split up." ”
As soon as the final word was made, the people in the Wen family's account offices began to get busy.
Liu of Fushoutang is still sick in bed, and he can't do anything except move his eyes.
At noon, the funeral attendants and others returned to the Wen family.
The ledgers placed in Zimingtang were piled up, and the four masters of the Wen family finally gathered together again.
Regarding the matter of family property, Uncle Wen said in advance that it is enough to have Yanyuan, and the public property depends on how much his brother is willing to give him.
Wen Zhongcong is very similar to a piece of the pie, but he is slight, and he is a concubine, plus Aunt Ding ran away with her property, he can only shout behind Wen Bogui. First Reading Network
Wen Jihua has been in charge of the family property for many years, and he has a good idea of how much property the Wen family has.
Originally, seeing that Wen Bogui's ability was average, and his son was like that, Wen Jihua said that you are willing to divide it equally.
As a result, Wen Bogui immediately exploded: "Fourth, you touch your conscience, for so many years, how many family properties have you swallowed in the four houses, and now you are embarrassed to say that it is divided equally!" For so many years, what kind of life has our big house lived, you have filled your pockets, and finally you have the last bite of meat! ”
In front of the clan elders, Wen Jihua did not have a seizure, after all, he was somewhat decent.
In the evening, when the accounts were settled, there was no silver left in the Gongzhong, and only the property in the various places, but not much.
When converted, according to four and a half equal parts, a property was only divided into more than three thousand taels of silver.
As soon as the account room reported the number, Wen Bogui and Wen Jihua, as well as Wan and Yang, denied it in unison on the spot: "Impossible!" ”
Four people, two by two, stood facing each other.
Wan has been in charge of Zhongfang for so many years, although she has not directly taken care of the family property, but she knows very well that the Wen family's industry will never be worth just such a little.
She was the first to speak, pointing at the Yang family and said, "Do you know that you have to split up and hide most of your property in advance?" Two years ago, when I was still in charge of the house, I got 3,000 taels from the public middle school every month, and I didn't count the four of you who took it privately, you took it out for me! If you don't take it out, no one will want to leave! ”
"That's it!" Wen Bogui didn't care about the gap with Wan's, followed the help, and even slapped the table, "Even last year, I saw with my own eyes that the account room had entered a thousand taels of silver every month, how could there be only so little left!" ”
Yang was originally a violent temper, but she also knew that she was angry at the concubine, and pointed at Sang and scolded Huai: "You still dare to say that we have never been able to enter and exit your big house, and now you are staring at the account room, this is taking advantage of the fact that your father-in-law was held hostage by you, and her mother-in-law had a stroke and couldn't move, so you guys joined forces to change the account book and swallow the family property!" ”
Wen Jihua was even more angry, and his face was pale.
He was in charge of the Wen family's property for many years, and in its heyday, the Wen family's property was more than 100,000 taels.
Even if he loses now, he will definitely have a family property of 50,000 taels.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you can tell me honestly, while I and the Yang family don't care about the family property, did you secretly threaten your father and mother and swallow the family property."
"Fart!" Wen Bogui heard that Wen Jihua actually hit back, completely tore his face, stretched his face and yelled at Wen Jihua, "It's obvious that you swallowed it privately, and you filled your pockets!" How dare you say about us! Who doesn't know the Wen family, even the elders of the clan know that for so many years, the Wen family's property has been in the hands of you, Wen Laosi, and now you dare to frame us for swallowing the family property, you thief shouting to catch the thief! I'm going to report to the police! ”
"Report to the official, report to the official!" The green tendons on Wen Jihua's forehead jumped, his hands clenched into fists, and he tried not to hold back, "When the time comes, the eldest brother won't go to prison, and we will spend money to catch you!" ”
In their hearts, both the Yang family and the Wan family are a little weak-minded, and they have all touched the Wen family's property.
Unexpectedly, the two big men actually wanted to report to the official.
Wen Bogui and Wen Jihua quarreled red-faced, but it was the Wan family and the Yang family, you look at me, I look at you, and chose to remain silent.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting next to him, was drinking tea leisurely, and his ears could hear the cocoon.
Seeing that the eldest and the fourth couldn't compete with each other, he finally put down the teacup.
She looked at the elders of the clan, and saw that they were looking at their noses and noses, as if they were accustomed to this kind of scene.
But if it goes on like this, you won't be able to separate your home for seven days and seven nights.
"Uncle, fourth uncle."
Wen Qingzhu's voice suddenly interjected, and the two of them looked sideways in unison.
"It's not a way for you to quarrel, it's better to follow what you said, report directly to the official, a huge Wen family, there must be only such a thing left."
"Then report to the official." Wen Bogui and Wen Jihua said in unison.
"Wait!" Wan and Yang held their husbands at the same time.
Wen Bogui and Wen Jihua turned their heads, and after looking at their wife's expression, they suddenly understood.
They didn't do anything, but their wives did.
In this way, they also chose to remain silent.
It's just that they don't know how much their wives have swallowed, and the two sides look at each other again, always feeling as if they have swallowed less.
Once again, the atmosphere was tense.
The corners of Wen Qingzhu's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm: "Uncle, fourth uncle, if you don't have any opinions, I will send someone to the government to report the case." ”
"We'll talk about it later." Wen Bogui felt his cheeks burn.
Wen Jihua hurriedly explained: "That's it, we split up and go to the government, aren't we afraid of other people's jokes?" Or do we add it up ourselves. ”
"But now the Wen family's property is clearly more than that, I heard the uncle and the fourth uncle say just now, in the past, there were shops in Zhuangzi, and there were idle houses to rent or something, this bit of silver is definitely not right."
Wen Qingzhu insisted on reporting to the official, Wen Bogui's face was not good-looking, and Wen Jihua couldn't say anything.
However, Wen Jihua saw Uncle Wen and hurriedly said: "Your father hasn't said anything yet, your daughter's family, come out to mix something, you children all go out, and the elders are here." ”
Wen Bogui nodded immediately: "Let's go, all the children are gone!" ”
Wen Qingzhu and his party were blasted out like this.
When he arrived in the courtyard of Ziming Hall, Wen Qingzhu looked around.
Since the young masters of the Wen family left here, there have been few people taking care of it here.
At first glance, it turned out to be full of desolation.
"Seventh sister, wait for me." Wen Mingliang's voice came from behind,
Wen Qingzhu stopped, looked back at him, and saw that Wen Mingliang's eyes were bruised, and he looked very bad.
"Ninth brother." Wen Qingzhu looked at him.
Wen Mingliang saw that her tone was a little rusty, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart: "Seventh sister, are you still unwilling to forgive Xin'er?" She really didn't mean it, on the eighth sister's side, she also deliberately sent medicine and a lot of supplements. ”
"If you talk about it, then I'll go first." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to say more, Wen Qingxin was the only one who could not see Wen Jihua, Yang and Wen Mingliang clearly.
Wen Qingzhu had already taken two steps, Wen Mingliang thought of what the King of Chu had explained, gritted his teeth and quickly chased after him: "Seventh sister, His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw me alone just now, and he said that he wanted to see you, and it was in Baiwei Tower tonight." ”
