Chapter 19 The Hu family's compound is luxurious first

The Hu family compound is the first in luxury.

Many of the homes in the compound are extremely precious high-grade mahogany, mainly red sour branches, black sour branches and rosewood, red sandalwood, incense branch wood, chicken branch wood, grain ebony also have a lot, each piece is able to use hundreds of years of heirloom furniture, the longer the era is harder and thicker, the golden silk nanmu in the Nanmu hall is not bad for thousands of years.

There is a mahogany hall built entirely of chicken wing mahogany, and the wood alone costs 140,000 taels of silver, which is not cheaper than the cost of the Nanmu Hall.

There are 100 lions carved in the Hundred Lion Tower, and each lion's eyes are made of a pair of golden balls the size of fingernails, which are basically 200 gold beans, which are worth more than 30,000 taels of silver.

There is a two-person high Lingbi stone in the center of the pool in front of the door of Hele Hall, which is known as the first Lingbi in Zhejiang, and it is also the treasure of the Hu family, which cost Hu Xueyan a full 100,000 taels of silver when he bought it from the rich merchants in Yangzhou.

This piece of land in the Hu family compound is more worth paying attention to, especially the pattern of the West Garden, which was left in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was originally the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Think about it, how much price He Jing opened.

Hu Chuyuan seems to be a person who is born to do big business, he agreed, and he also wanted to see how much effort He Jing could make and whether he could be worthy of this bribe and dowry.

After talking about some miscellaneous things with a few ladies, Hu Chuyuan estimated that the time was almost up, and he was about to get up and say goodbye, but the seventh lady suddenly coughed lightly, and said with a delicate smile: "Oh, a few sisters, Chu Yuan, you are all here, let's talk about the separation of the family......!" ”

Hu Chuyuan raised his eyes coldly and asked, "What's the matter, Aunt Seven feels confident to talk about this kind of thing now?" ”

Fourth Lady Luo also sneered and said, "Chu Yuan, since someone said it, let's talk about it." You're in charge, so let's talk about what you think, right? ”

Hu Chuyuan thought for a while and said: "Not counting the property and real estate, my father's actual family property is almost more than two thousand and one hundred taels of silver. I pondered, when my little sister got married, the dowry and dowry were all paid by me, and when Pinyuan and Xuanyuan got married, they could also take eight million taels of silver from me, if they wanted to set up their own door, I would support it, and if they wanted to do things with me, I would support it even more. As for the younger sister, I will save two million taels of silver for her in the bank, and she will give it when she needs it, so that her mother-in-law will not steal her money. ”

Aunt Seven was so happy when she heard it, she originally thought that Hu Chuyuan, a shrewd ghost, would not be so polite, but she could actually get eight million taels of silver.

Mrs. Luo Si shook her head.

The eldest lady is Hu Xueyan's bad wife, although her status is high, but she has no real power, Hu Xueyan was able to make a fortune in her early years, and Mrs. Luo and the Luo family have made a lot of efforts, so she is the real "eldest lady" at home.

She said: "Chu Yuan, what about the assets left by your father, after deducting this mansion, the real estate of the mansion and the business name, it can only be converted into 4 million taels of silver, and there are 3 million taels of descendants and grandchildren's money, 8 million taels of living money and 10 million taels of silver in the debts of the Hunan army. As the eldest son, you are to take the property of the mansion and the business, and the two younger brothers will each share 4,000,000 taels of silver. The money of the children and grandchildren was left in the hands of me and the eldest lady, one was used for emergency preparedness, and the other was used for the marriage of the two younger brothers and the younger sister. As for the debts of the Hunan army, if they can be repaid, the three brothers, each of whom will share 3.3 million taels equally, and they can't be repaid, then everyone will admit that they are unlucky, and they can't worry about the court, otherwise they won't even be able to keep the last bit of net worth! ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently and said, "What the third aunt said is true." ”

Mrs. Luo Si said again: "If the eldest sister and the seventh sister have no opinion, the family will be divided like this, but they are not in a hurry to divide it, and we will talk about it when Pinyuan and Xuanyuan start a family." The family's property and outside affairs are all under Chu Yuan's management, even if the money of the two younger brothers is lent to Chu Yuan, if Chu Yuan makes money, it will be calculated at an interest rate of 5% per year, if he doesn't earn it, then don't count any interest. However, Chu Yuan, you are your home outside, but the things in this compound have to be handled by me and my eldest sister, especially the affairs of those women's families, Chu Yuan, you don't have to ask more. ”

Hu Chuyuan snorted.

This separation plan can be regarded as the best way to do it at the moment.

With Hu Chuyuan already in charge of the overall situation, this Fourth Mrs. Luo tried her best to be fair and tried her best not to turn her face with him in advance, and fought for her son to divide the family well enough, and at the same time, she also did not let the seventh aunt blackmail her son through her son's marriage.

Her plan is to take out the money of her children and grandchildren to buy the dowry and marriage of several sons, even if she gives two million taels, there will still be one million taels left, and she will continue to hold it in her hands, and she has nothing to do with Aunt Seven.

After separating the family and starting a business, the money that should be given to the third child can almost be given to the third child, otherwise it will stay in Hu Chuyuan's hands as a discount stock, and it still has nothing to do with Aunt Seven.

Although the seventh aunt is unhappy, she can't resist Mrs. Luo, and Hu Chuyuan and the eldest lady have agreed, so she can only endure this breath, thinking to herself, when my son marries the governor's daughter, I will think about it with you carefully.

Hu Chuyuan was not so patient to participate in the battle between their wives, since he had reached an agreement to divide the family, and after maintaining the situation of not separating the family for the time being, he got up to say goodbye and went back to discuss with Wang Baotian about buying land by the West Lake.

To Hu Chuyuan's surprise, the next day, Mrs. Luo Si couldn't wait to start driving away those concubines in the family.

If it weren't for Aunt Jiu and a little daughter, she would definitely have to drive Aunt Nine away.

The fourteenth aunt, who is the most arrogant in Ping, is the most unlucky, and the other aunts can still take away their jewelry and private money, but she was the only one who was driven away directly, and only gave a few dozen taels of silver for the winding fee.

The fourteenth aunt wanted to transfer these jewelry and private money very early, but what kind of person was Mrs. Luo, she had been staring at her for a long time, and even a gold earring was deducted.

This is the so-called wealthy, the so-called glory and wealth.

Hu Chuyuan watched all this, but he couldn't speak.

This is this era, for men, three wives and four concubines are normal, for women, it is not normal, especially concubines without heirs, they are simply not people.

As soon as the master died, the concubine suffered.

I never missed that!

After the fourteenth aunt left home, Hu Chuyuan asked the second housekeeper Hu Rong to quietly give her six hundred taels of silver, and bought a courtyard in the suburbs outside Hangzhou, so that a few aunts who could not go back to their parents' homes and could not find other to rely on temporarily lived.

For them, love is a very luxurious thing, far less practical than wealth and glory.

Or, they don't have a choice in the first place.

As for the situation they are going to face today, they have known it since the day they became concubines, because there are countless examples of this.

With their departure, the news of the Hu family's separation spread quickly.

People talked, laughed, teased, and continued to wait for the Hu family to stage a good show of the decline of the wealthy family.

People are very foreseeable that the nouveau riche all die out in this way, or those who read the books of the sages can be passed on for a long time, and the businessmen will not last long!
