When Fang Siqi returned to the Shen Mansion, Zhou came to call her again.

Fang Siqi knew what was about to happen, so he didn't let Zhou bother to say anything, and went directly to the main courtyard.

The people who arrived this time were the same as the last family meeting, the only difference was that this time the Yan family and the Ge family were on Li Xiaoxue's side, and on the right hand side of Mrs. Shen, there were only people sitting in Shen Zhongyu's room.

Fang Siqi raised his eyebrows, and after giving a casual salute to Master Shen and Mrs. Shen, he sat down directly in the vacant seat next to Li Xiaoxue.

"Master Shen, Mrs. Shen, are you going to have a "family" meeting today? Fang Siqi quipped.

"It's also a family meeting," Master Shen took the lead in speaking, "Daughter-in-law Zhongchen, I called you over today, there is a big event to announce." ”

"You say." Fang Siqi made a deaf look.

After glancing at Mrs. Shen, Master Shen slowly spoke, "Divide the family." ”

"Separation?"

"That's right, I'm going to split up." Master Shen said in an accentuated tone, "Anyway, you usually don't have much contact with us, so it doesn't matter to you whether you are separated or not, right?" ”

Fang Siqi directly ignored the second half of Master Shen's sentence, "If you want to split the family, do you have to call everyone in the family?" ”

"As the so-called daughter who marries out spills the water, the daughter marries out and is a foreign family, so naturally she can't share my Shen family's property." Master Shen said as a matter of course, "As for Yuling, who is not married yet, didn't you say that she is your maid?" She is yours now, we can't control her, and this property naturally has nothing to do with her. ”

Yuling has long lost any thoughts about Master Shen and the Shen family. So when I heard Master Shen's words, there was no wave in my heart.

Fang Siqi glanced at Yuling, and then said, "I don't know if my husband has the qualifications for the separation of the family in Master Shen's mouth?" ”

"Zhongchen, as my son, is naturally qualified to split the family." Master Shen said, "It's just that he is a concubine, so he has to share a little less." ”

"Kefu-kun is not here now..."

"It doesn't matter if he's not there, you just have full authority to represent him." Master Shen immediately said. "After all, it's up to me to decide how much this family divides, even if Zhongchen is here, he can't change anything."

"Even so, I can't explain it when my husband comes back." Fang Siqi still disagreed.

"And what do you want?" Master Shen said impatiently, "Anyway, I'm going to divide this house today." ”

"Master Shen really wants to divide this family, and I can't stop anything." Fang Siqi said, "It's just that if Master Shen wants me to admit it, you have to find two respected people to testify." Now that my husband is back, I have to explain a little. ”

"A respectable person?" Master Shen frowned, "Almost none of my Shen family's relatives are in the capital, and the second elder of the family has already left." For a while, where will I go to find you a respected person to testify! ”

"Otherwise," Shen Zhongyu interjected, "When we have negotiated the details of the separation, we will go to the yamen to sign and draw the pledge, and my father and mother will both put on our handprints, and indicate that this is the result of our mutual will, what do you think?" ”

The corners of Fang Siqi's mouth curved, "Young Master Shen's brain is spinning quite fast." ”

Looking at Fang Siqi's smiling face, Shen Zhongyu didn't think it was a compliment at all, and he asked a little impatiently, "Do you agree?" ”

"Shen Dashao said so, and if I don't agree, I'm deliberately making things difficult." Fang Siqi looked at Master Shen, "Master Shen, you say, how do you plan to divide this house." ”

"Zhongchen's daughter-in-law, you have also seen the situation of the Shen family." Master Shen said, "Except for this Shen Mansion, there is nothing of value at home. Zhong Yu is the eldest son, and his wife and I will be responsible for supporting him in the future, so I plan to leave the Shen Mansion to him. ”

"Listening to what Master Shen meant, the husband can't share anything?"

"Zhongchen is my son anyway, and I'm not so ruthless." Master Shen said, "I plan to leave him a room." So, as far as the few rooms you live in now, you have to vacate them for me. ”

"Of course, if you don't want to move out, I can sell you those rooms."

Fang Siqi thought for a while, "But Master Shen, since it is a separate family, it means that the husband will have to be independent in the future." Even if I want to buy it, wouldn't it be nice to buy another house? ”

"This..."Master Shen didn't know what to say, and turned his head to ask Mrs. Shen for help.

Mrs. Shen didn't want to speak, but under the pressure of Master Shen's eyes, she had no choice but to say, "Daughter-in-law Zhongchen, look at it, you have so many maids and servants, and your few rooms are not enough." And what about Shen Zhai, it is so big, and now Zhong Yu is a scholar again, and the expenses are large, please don't invite servants, what a waste of nothing. Since you are interested in buying a house, why don't you buy what he inherited with Zhong Yu? ”

"Zhong Yu took the silver and went to buy a smaller house." Mrs. Shen said, "When he buys the house, we will move out immediately." In this way, you can be regarded as an independent house! ”

"You can do your eldest brother a favor, okay?"

"It's not good like this," Fang Siqi shook his head, "When this matter spreads, some uninformed people still think that I am so domineering, I can't tolerate my in-laws, and I will drive you out of the Shen Mansion." It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

"Zhongchen's daughter-in-law, didn't we go to the government to sign and draw the pledge?" Mrs. Shen said again, "There are officials to help you guaranture, are you still not at ease?" ”

"I went to the government to draw a prisoner, that was to explain to my husband why he was not there and split up." Fang Siqi said, "What I care about now is my reputation..."

"And what do you want to do?" Mrs. Shen asked flatteringly, "If you have any ideas, we can discuss them." Your eldest brother is really short of money now..."

"Since Mrs. Shen said so, then I will be blunt." Fang Siqi said, "As long as you explain to your neighbors why your husband got this mansion, I will agree to buy the Shen mansion." ”

"Alright, I'll explain right now..."

"Master Shen, don't worry," Fang Siqi stopped Master Shen who wanted to leave, "Let's talk about the maintenance between you and Mrs. Shen first... After all, your husband is also your son, and he also gets a share of your family property. ”

"Then you can give me a hundred taels of silver a month." Master Shen said without thinking about it.

Fang Siqi looked at Master Shen and didn't speak.

"That's... Eighty taels? ”

"Fifty taels?"

"Twenty taels?"

Master Shen even said a few counts, but Fang Siqi didn't make a sound. In the end, he gritted his teeth, "Ten taels, no less." ”

"Two taels of silver, no more." Fang Siqi opened his mouth and said, "The moon silver that my husband received before added up to less than two taels. If Master Shen and Mrs. Shen don't agree, even if I haven't heard of the separation today. ”

Master Shen was very hesitant, and always felt that Fang Siqi and Shen Zhongchen should give him more every month.

"Daddy!" Shen Zhongyu urged anxiously. "I'll have it in the future!"

Master Shen gritted his teeth, "Okay, two or two will be two." ”

"Since everyone has reached an agreement, let's ask Master Shen to write a letter of separation." Fang Siqi said, "After writing it, remember to take it to the neighbors to see..."

Look how eccentric you are...

Mrs. Shen watched all this happen silently on the side, and for some reason, she always had a feeling that she had been calculated by Fang Siqi.
