Chapter 221 It's none of my business
"You threaten me?"
"The concubine body is just telling the truth." Aunt Zhang said gently.
"Okay, this silver is calculated, and the account office will send the money over." The old patriarch spoke.
Old Madam Qiao looked at the old patriarch with resentment.
Over there, Aunt Zhang continued: "According to the master's will, each room has 50,000 taels of silver, and there should be five rooms. It's just that the silver that the master deposited in the bank, and there are no five rooms, this silver ......"
Old Man Qiao distributed the interests of several houses during his lifetime, but he did not count the five rooms, and now there is an extra room, and there is an extra resettlement fee.
"What, you want to count it on my head again?" Old Madam Qiao asked gloomily.
"What does the old lady think?" With confidence, Aunt Zhang didn't have any worries when she spoke.
"Since it was arranged by the master, then the Qiao family should come out, there is no reason for me to make up for it, the fifth child is the son of the master, not mine."
That seems to make sense.
Aunt Zhang thought for a while and said, "Then what do you say about this silver?" ”
Old Madam Qiao said: "Just take 50,000 taels of silver out of the Qiao family." ”
Qiao Yixi understood what the old witch meant.
Except for those that were distributed, the rest was from the Qiao family, and 50,000 taels of silver were allocated to Qiao Lao Wu first, and the rest was redistributed.
"Okay, let's talk about the rest?"
"How? How else can you divide it? Old Madam Qiao looked at Aunt Zhang with a smile, "The fourth room is a serious son-in-law, how else can it be divided?" ”
In the face of interests, Mrs. Qiao did not back down.
Seeing Aunt Zhang's ill-intentioned smile, Qiao Siye said depressedly: "Mother, let's listen to what Aunt Zhang said first." ”
Old Madam Qiao snorted angrily, but she didn't choke again.
"Old lady, the lord's will said that the second and third rooms are divided equally into 10%, and the fourth master alone accounts for 10%. Now that there is no longer a long room, there is an extra five-room, so it will naturally have to be redistributed. ”
"So what?"
Bite off more than one can chew.
Old Madam Qiao looked at everyone with contempt.
She really cares about her reputation, so when anything that might threaten her reputation happens, the first thing she thinks of is to cut it straight to the source.
Twisting her fingers, Old Madam Qiao patiently listened to Aunt Zhang's words.
"The concubine body asks that the Qiao family's property be divided equally among several houses."
"Deuce?" As if she had heard some joke, Old Madam Qiao looked at Aunt Zhang with a smile, "Don't talk about Jincheng, just look at the entire dynasty, whether it is a high-ranking family or a farmer in the countryside, which family is divided equally?" Let's not talk about the division between the concubines, in the countryside, there is no reason for even brothers to divide equally. The Qiao family doesn't even have this rule. ”
"Yes," Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement, "Good things are for the eldest son, what does the old lady mean is for the second room?" ”
"You...... Zhang Cui, you don't have to make an inch! "Old Madam Qiao's forbearance has reached its limit.
Thinking that there was a handle in the hands of this cheap person, she repeatedly endured it, but in exchange for the other party's step by step, she didn't have such good patience, and said directly: "According to the will, how much should be given to each room, how much to take, and the rest is for the concubine." Of course, I'm not a stingy person, and I'll make up an extra amount of money for every room, especially the five. Zhang Cui, the second and third are your sons, and now even the fifth is on your side, calculate carefully, you can take a lot this time, the greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, don't have too much appetite. ”
Deuce?
The second and third rooms can take away fifty percent, not to mention half of them, plus the five rooms are also bought by Zhang Cui, if they are divided equally, the three houses can occupy nearly eighty percent of the industry, how can there be such a good thing?
As a last resort, Old Madam Qiao made appropriate concessions.
That's not what Aunt Zhang wants.
"Old lady, the most profitable Shu brocade of the Qiao family, you left it to the fourth room, and the water is long, and I don't know who will lose it in the end! Since you don't think you can divide it evenly, then give me the secret recipe. ”
Really!
Qiao Lixi's eyes lit up.
What Aunt Zhang wants is the secret of the Qiao family's Shu Jinli!
"Hehe, it's really funny," Mrs. Qiao said in a weird manner, "That's the foundation of the Qiao family, and it's also passed on to your son-in-law, why are you?" ”
"I don't know if the Qiao family's room is real or not."
"Nonsense! I said, the fourth child is a serious son-in-law, even if the Qiao family does not have the eldest son, the secret recipe of the Qiao family's Shu brocade will not be in the hands of the concubine! ”
This is the bottom line of Old Madam Qiao, and she will never hand it over.
Qiao Yixi yawned.
Boring.
glanced around, and when the atmosphere was tense, he said lightly, "Now that I have nothing to do, can I leave?" ”
The red-faced crowd in the room looked at her in unison.
Qiao Lixi made a straight face and said: "How the Qiao family divides is your private matter, since our Changfang is not from the Qiao family, then ...... It's a bit inappropriate for me to continue to stay here, otherwise, I'll go back to the East Courtyard to count my things first, pack up, and I'll go back to Zhuangzi. ”
Hearing Qiao Lixi's words, Old Madam Qiao reddened with jealousy.
Not only her, but also people in other rooms have to be envious.
Not to mention anything else, Qiao Lixi's maternal grandfather's family is the No. 1 Bagu family in western Sichuan, and what is sent during the New Year's holidays, which one is not a boutique? Although they hardly move around, they will always send some gadgets over there, and every time they get the ones in their hands, they are all boutiques that they can't buy, and with these boutiques, the Qiao family gradually has the status of a leader in the circle.
Now, Qiao Lixi is quietly going to move them all!
What is the difference between this and emptying the entire Qiao family!
However, no matter how unwilling or reluctant he was, it was all given to Qiao by the Gu family, and it had nothing to do with the Qiao family.
"So? I'll let a few mothers-in-law help you. Old Madam Qiao said kindly.
"Thank you old lady, but don't worry, I came back this time, brought my mother-in-law back from Zhuangzi, and now it's all in the east courtyard, if the old lady is not at ease, I can let a few mother-in-law go over and watch, lest after I leave, the Qiao family will lose something, I can't tell clearly."
"What did Qiao Qiao say when she said this," Old Madam Qiao maintained a smile on her face, "Although Changfang is not Qiao's family, and you are not my granddaughter, your father has been with me for more than 30 years, and you are also grown up by me, and the affection is still there." If I have time in the future, Qiao Qiao will come back and take a look, and I will treat you as a granddaughter. Over in the east courtyard, you can clean up by yourself, and when you leave, you don't have to come over. ”
Out of sight is pure, so as not to affect your mood.
"Don't worry, old lady, before I came, my father said, the Qiao family's things are not ours, we won't peep, in the future, our business will not involve Shu brocade, the secret recipe, we won't use it, and we won't give it to others. The Qiao family raised us, and we are not ungrateful. It's my title in the Chamber of Commerce," after a pause, Qiao Yixi said, "I will resign as president." ”
Fourth Master Qiao bit his cheeks.
Resign?
It's better to give it to him directly!
Qiao Lixi led Angelica and Mama Shen to the East Courtyard.
Although the East Garden is a part of the Qiao family, it is no exaggeration to say that every flower, grass, brick and tile in the East Courtyard was built by Qiao Xingbang at her own expense, and she razed the East Courtyard to the ground, and the people of the Qiao family did not dare to do anything.
And Qiao Lixi really did it.
In addition to the things in the warehouse, the flowers and plants in her yard were also moved, and the ginkgo tree that Qiao Xingbang bought at a great price was dug up completely in the careful excavation of the craftsmen, and it took a lot of labor to transport the ginkgo tree.
The East Small Courtyard was rebuilt a few years ago, and Qiao Xingbang imitated the small bridge and flowing water built in Jiangnan, Qiao Yixi naturally wouldn't be cheap for the Qiao family, and all those things were packed and sent to her newly bought yard to decorate the new yard.
If a locust crosses the border, there is no piece of armor left.
Such a big movement in the east courtyard lasted for several days, and the people in the other courtyards naturally saw it, except for asking the maid to come and take a look, what should everyone do, after all, the separation has reached a critical moment.
Jincheng is such a big circle, and the Qiao family is such a big movement, the people in the circle have naturally noticed it a long time ago, but everyone knows that this is just Mrs. Qiao, relying on her seniority, deliberately bullying the long house.
Because in their eyes, the long house moved out of the Qiao family, which means that it is definitely not the long house that will inherit the Qiao family in the end, and the old lady Qiao is eccentric to this point, everyone feels incredible, and at the same time, they also sigh that the weakness of the Qiao family's room. However, Qiao Xingbang's ability is there, that is, to leave the Qiao family, with his strength, he is still a figure in the Jincheng circle.
It's just that the long room of the Qiao family has moved out, but there is no movement at all in the second and third rooms, and there are rumors that the Qiao family has five more rooms, what is going on?
Compared with everyone's gossip, Qiao Yixi is much calmer.
The cooperation with Aunt Zhang is very smooth, if it is not for her things, it is not easy for Aunt Zhang to bring down the old witch, at least it will take a few years for the two of them. I didn't expect the ability of rice cake detection to be so powerful, and following the clues she gave, she actually found longan?
It was a big surprise to her.
As a candidate for divine assistance, she took over the Guiyuan family.
The cooperation with Aunt Zhang is not a profit or a loss, but just a matter of taking what you need - Qiao Xingbang completely broke away from the Qiao family, and Aunt Zhang got the secret recipe of the Qiao family's Shu brocade.
This is a big cake, and Aunt Zhang will not be unmoved.
Of course, Aunt Zhang is a shrewd person, so when she first started talking about cooperation, Aunt Zhang directly asked her for a secret recipe.
How can it be so cheap?
The promise she can give to Aunt Zhang is that the industries involved in Qiao Xingbang in the future do not include Shu Jin, as for the secret recipe, you have to rely on your own ability to get it, after all, the interests are equal, how much Aunt Zhang can give her, how much she returns.
This is also the reason why the Qiao family has not been completely separated so far.
Unequal benefits.
No matter how the Qiao family is deadlocked, it is not within her scope of concern, because she is going to go to the Sichuan West Valley family.
The people in Shuzhou are paying close attention to the movements of the Gu family, firstly because the name of the Gu family is too loud, and secondly, because this matter is too involved.
