Mama Song said in a heartfelt manner: "Old lady, the eldest young master still has to study, the eldest young grandmother can't take care of the eldest young master now, and the second lady thinks of sending someone to share the worries of the eldest young grandmother." ”

The meaning of her words is that Xiao He's family sent people here for Duanmu Heng.

"......" Sizhu's pretty face couldn't hide her apprehension and anxiety, and she wanted to defend her master a few words, but she was an unmarried girl after all, and she couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Mama Guan saw Sizhu's helplessness in her eyes, and sighed secretly in her heart: Although Ji Lanzhou is the county lord, after all, the family is thin, and there is no father and mother, and the people who serve next to her are loyal, but they are a little wooden, no wonder the concubine Niangniang wants to take care of this matter and send herself.

Duanmuxian's face became more and more ugly with Mama Song's words, and his face sank like water.

Seeing this, Sizhu secretly said that it was not good, and she became more and more cramped, but Mama Song was proud, and the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably, but she was interrupted again by Duanmu Xian:

"Since the eldest young master has already ordered, what are you all still trying to do, hurry up and take people away!"

"Take it away now!"

Duanmu Xian said impatiently and coldly, his voice was neither light nor heavy, but it echoed around like thunder, not angry and arrogant.

There was silence all around, and it seemed as if even time had stopped.

The two women, one red and one green, looked at Mama Song at a loss, Mama Song was stupid, dumbfounded, and almost pinched her thighs.

Sizhu's eyes also widened, but he was more happy than surprised, and breathed a long sigh of relief: Fortunately, fortunately. The second old man and his wife are not in tune, but the old lady and the eldest young master are both reasonable, and their own girl finally did not marry the wrong person.

As soon as Duanmu Xian gave the order, those rough envoys moved again.

"Mama Song, please!"

This time, they became more and more careless, and rudely stuffed Mama Song and the two young maids into the carriage.

And Mama Song seemed to be suddenly dumb by the medicine, and she couldn't even pronounce a syllable.

Mama Song is not afraid of Duanmuheng, nor is she afraid of Ji Lanzhou, because she is serving by the side of the second lady, and the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother should respect themselves for three points, but she is afraid of the old lady.

After all, the old lady even retired from Mrs. He, not to mention that they are just lowly slaves, the old lady was displeased and sold herself, should the second lady still go to the old lady for herself? !

The Yimen was cleared all of a sudden.

Duanmuxian started to do something, it was vigorous and resolute, and immediately sent someone to call a steward to come over, and asked the steward to personally send Mama Song and her back to their hometown, so as not to give birth to any moths halfway!

In just one short incense stick, the green canopy carriage drove out of Duanmu Mansion, and after Duanmu Xian handed over the follow-up to the steward, he didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, and went back to the outer study directly.

Duanmuxian sent out all the big maids serving in the study and locked them in the study alone.

The eldest maid was a little apprehensive, she didn't know what was going on, she just thought that something had happened in the court, and no one dared to disturb Duanmuxian, and told the little maid and the mother-in-law not to make noise.

Inside and outside the courtyard, it was quiet.

Time passed in silence, and after half an hour, the big maid was called in.

"Let people go and pick up the third master from the Zhuangzi!"

"Also, after the third master came back, he called everyone in the family to Zhenqutang."

Duanmuxian gave two instructions in a row with a serious expression, and the eldest girl understood in her heart that what upset the old lady was not the court affairs, but family affairs.

The big girl hurriedly received the order and hurriedly went down on an errand.

It took some effort to go back and forth to pick up the Duanmu period and return to the house, and when the carriage of the Duanmu period entered the mansion, it was already about to apply for time.

When Duanmu came to the Zhenqu Hall, the other people in the fifth room of the Duanmu family had already gathered there, from a few old ladies to the sons and girls below, the main hall was full.

Duanmuxian, as the head of the family, sits at the top.

Everyone didn't know why Duanmu Xian suddenly summoned them, and when they saw Duanmu Qi appear, their faces couldn't hide their surprise.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, they all knew that the Tang family had returned home a few days ago, and now seeing that Duanmu Xian had brought Duanmu back to the house, he secretly said in his heart: It seems that the old lady is finally discouraged.

Also, it is not right for Duanmu Period to return to Beijing without authorization, but how can there be an overnight feud between father and son, and Duanmu Period must not be allowed to live in Zhuangzi for the rest of his life.

Duanmu Qi also thought so, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and respectfully saluted Duanmu Xian: "Father." ”

He originally wanted to say something to please Duanmu Xian, but Duanmu Xian didn't want to hear it at all, so he waved his hand and said, "Third child, sit down, I have something to say." ”

Duanmu didn't dare to disobey and sat down opposite Duanmu Chao.

Duanmu Xian looked around at everyone, his expression was calm, and his eyes were fierce, so that everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Duanmu Xian announced straight to the point: "I called you all over today for the sake of separating the family. ”

Separation?!

Everyone was blown up by these two words, and almost half of them were scattered, and they looked at Duanmu Xian in disbelief.

Duanmu Chao almost didn't jump up from the chair, Duanmu Period was more like falling from heaven to hell all at once, he originally thought that Duanmu Xian was angry and let himself come back, but he didn't expect it to be for the sake of separating the family.

As the old saying goes, parents are there, and there is no separation of families.

Duanmu Xian is now old and strong, what kind of family is it! If this spreads out, won't it make the whole capital see a joke!

No one noticed that Duanmu Heng lowered his eyes silently after a short period of surprise, it was not the first time he had heard his grandfather mention the separation of the family.

The hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

With Duanmu Xian's position, it was enough to show everyone's shocked expressions at a glance.

He ignored the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and drank it slowly.

The idea of splitting up was not his impulse today.

In February, he moved this idea, and also mentioned it to Duanmu Heng, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun, but later because the emperor who had been in a coma for half a year suddenly woke up, so he delayed for a while.

In mid-March, Duanmu Xian went to the patriarch Duanmu Ning alone and told him about the separation of the family in private, and was persuaded by Duanmu Ning's kindness:

"Second brother, splitting up is not a trivial matter, you better think about it again."

"Second brother, I'm a rough person, and I don't know as much as you, but I still know the truth of 'parents are here, and there is no separation of families'. If you split up at this time, it will only make outsiders feel that your children and grandchildren are unfilial, so you will make the family uneasy. This is not filial piety, but it is a big deal. ”

"Ah Heng is a seedling of reading, I see that you also have high hopes for him, aren't you afraid that it will affect Ah Heng's career?"

"And Sister Scarlet...... She may be able to ascend to the throne in the future, and her reputation must not be flawed, so as not to be criticized in the future......"

“……”

Duanmu Ning spoke bitterly, and also said Duanmu Xian's scruples, so he thought about it again and again, but in the end he didn't mention the separation of the family.

Duanmu Xian didn't mention it, and Duanmu Heng didn't ask.

Until today, until now, Duanmuxian has brought up the old matter again.

Duanmu Heng glanced at Duanmu Xian and silently clenched his fists.

At this time, the other people present finally reacted.

Duanmu Chao, Duanmu Period, Duanmu Teng and Duanmu Shuo all stood up one after another, knelt down with a "plop", and pleaded to Duanmu Xian: "Father can't!" ”

On weekdays, the relationship between these four brothers has always been general, but today there is a kind of brotherly unity, and I only hope that Duanmu Xian can take back his life.

Immediately afterwards, several ladies and juniors in the family also knelt down one by one like dumplings.

The ground was full of black heads.

The maids guarding the eaves outside the house also saw this scene, and they were all frightened and silent.

The air inside and outside the house seemed to have changed from midsummer June to the cold winter of Layue in an instant.

Duanmuxian looked down at the people who were kneeling on the ground and a little shorter, his eyes were dark and his expression was indifferent.

After today's incident, Duanmu Xian had the idea of separating the family again, so he locked himself in the study alone, thought a lot, and carefully considered the pros and cons of the separation.

In this family, there are many people and many thoughts, and when other grandchildren in the family marry in the future, there will be more people in the family.

The second room is finished, and the third room is troubled.

Although there is no movement in the fourth and fifth rooms now, once interests are involved in the future, something may happen.

Speaking of which, power and interests are still moving.

Mu Yan has entered the royal jade, and has military power, and the tenth ** will succeed to the throne in the future, and at that time, the Duanmu family is the Guozhang Mansion, and he is the first assistant, and these people in the family are only afraid that they will be ready to move.

Duanmuxian stared at these sons deeply, the son didn't teach, the father's fault, after all, he was busy with government affairs all these years, and he didn't teach his sons well, and now it's too late to teach.

If they don't listen to what they say, and if something happens at every turn, he can just clean up the mess, and I'm afraid that they will make a big mistake one day and harm the whole family.

Splitting up the family has its own disadvantages and hinders his reputation, but if he waits for them to make a big mistake, it will be too late for him to regret it.

He had to make a trade-off and cut them off at all! Duanmuxian said to himself in his heart.

Of course, the second old man Duanmu Chao knew that his father was the same as his character, and his heart was as cold as ice, but let him let it go, he was unwilling, took two steps on his knees, looked up at Duanmu Xian and said: "Father, but what are the sons unfilial?" If there's anything wrong, just discipline your son and punish him. ”

Duanmu Period, Duanmuteng and Duanmushuo also echoed one after another:

"yes, yes. Father, if there is anything wrong with the son, he must change it. ”

"Father, don't break up."

"The matter of separating the family is not trivial, please think twice before acting!"

“……”

Duanmu Heng, who was kneeling behind Duanmu Chao, had calmed down a lot at the moment, and his thoughts were spinning quickly: his grandfather hadn't mentioned the separation of the family for more than three months, and he thought that his grandfather had given up this idea. Now that my grandfather suddenly mentioned the separation of the family, could it be that something happened to the family again?!

Duanmu Xian put down the teacup, his face did not change, and he looked at Duanmu and said lightly to a few people: "I have made up my mind." ”

His four words are concise and straightforward, representing Duanmuxian's determination is unquestionable.

Duanmu Chao and the others seemed to have been splashed with a bucket of ice water, their hearts were even colder, and they could only continue to plead bitterly in their dying struggles:

"Father, don't say anything else, how can you have a father who is still alive, and the reason that the sons will be separated, this will definitely say that the sons are not filial."

"Father, the family doesn't talk to two families, if there is anything wrong with the son, you can say it directly. If you want to die, you have to let your son die, right? ”

"Father, no matter what it is, the son can change it!"

“……”

Duanmu Dynasty and Duanmu Period They knelt and kowtowed, and their foreheads were blue, and several juniors could only kowtow, one by one, at a loss.

The air froze, and everyone's hearts felt as if a boulder had been crushed.

However, no matter how much they begged or cried, Duanmuxian was still unmoved, and he didn't even look at them again.

Duanmu became more and more overwhelmed by the others, looking at each other, especially the third old man Duanmu period.

Duanmu was sent to Zhuangzi by Duanmu Xian in October last year, and he hasn't been back to the house for half a year, and he really doesn't know much about the situation in the house.

To this day, he still feels like he is in a dream, and his brain is dull.

Duanmu subconsciously searched for Tang's figure, wanting to ask if there was something going on in Tang's house, only to notice that Tang's was not here.

Odd?

Duanmu frowned.

The Tang family had also discussed with him about the return of their daughter from Zhuangzi before, and the couple felt that the time was good now, and the children of their three rooms could marry the Duanmu family, so Duanmuxian would let them go back, and they couldn't let the children's marriage come forward without their parents, right?

Therefore, after the couple discussed, they asked the Tang family to take their daughter back to the house first, after all, at Duanmuyuan's age, they can be engaged immediately, if Duanmuyuan can find a good in-law, Sanfang can also rise from this!

But the marriage of this child has not yet been settled, why did the father suddenly move the idea of separating the family?!

Duanmu was upset and felt that since he returned to Beijing from Ruxian, nothing good had happened for more than half a year.

Duanmu Qi looked at Duanmu Yuan, who was kneeling behind him on the right again, and asked her with his eyes, where is your mother?

Duanmu Yuan shook his head and said silently with his mouth: My mother went out early in the morning to go to Huangjue Temple to offer incense.

Others didn't see the eye contact between their father and daughter, but Duanmu Xian, who was at the top, could see it clearly.

Thinking of the stupid things that Tang did outside, the fire in Duanmu Xian's heart was ignited all of a sudden.

"Smack!"

Duanmuxian casually put the teacup on the desk at hand, and the sound shook everyone's hearts by a beat.

Duanmu Xian simply said for Duanmu Yuan: "Third child, the Tang clan let Jinyiwei take it away. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

The others were all shocked when they heard Duanmu Xian suddenly mention the Tang Clan.

Then, a question naturally appeared in everyone's minds-

What did the Tang clan do to alarm Jinyiwei and be taken to the edict?!

After being shocked, Duanmuteng and Duanmushuo finally came to their senses, and their hearts were bright.

Duanmuxian suddenly mentioned the Tang family at this time, and the reason was obvious, it must have been something stupid that made Duanmuxian move the idea of separating the family.

In an instant, Duanmu Teng and Duanmu Shuo both had the idea of divorcing their wives for Duanmu Period.

The third daughter-in-law made a mistake, why did they pay for him?!

Duanmuteng and Duanmushuo were indignant and unwilling.

"......" Duanmu Chao was a little more settled, his eyes flashed, and he said secretly: As long as the reason for the separation has nothing to do with their second room.

Anyway, the boss is gone, he is now the eldest son, Duanmu Xian has always liked his son Duanmu Heng, and taught him personally, as if Duanmu Heng is the future heir, even if Duanmu Xian wants to divide the family, he has nothing to lose, to put it bluntly, it is just to divide the first few younger brothers.

Duanmu Chao stopped pleading, made a low-eyed look, and thought: What kind of big mistake did this stupid woman of the Tang clan make?

Wait a minute! Jinyiwei!

Duanmu Zhao swallowed his saliva, feeling uneasy: This matter involves Jinyiwei, shouldn't it be a big disaster to rob the family and destroy the clan, so my father wants to split up?

If that's the case, it's a bit of a bad thing. If the third room is copied, it will affect their reputation to some extent......

Thinking about it, Duanmu Chao raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu Xian again, wanting to see some clues from his expression.

Duanmuteng and Duanmushuo also thought of this, on the one hand, they were shocked, and on the other hand, they felt that Duanmuxian had good intentions, and their hearts were very entangled.

The Duanmu period and the Duanmu edge were almost like being struck by lightning, and it took a while to react.

Duanmu hurriedly asked, "Father, what is going on?" ”

The more Duanmu thought about it, the more wrong it became, his wife knew that although he was a little careful, it was all for the good of the third room, and now he was thinking about his children and looking for a good family, how could she provoke Jinyiwei?!

Duanmu added cautiously: "Father, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”

"Misunderstanding?" Duanmu Xian sneered mockingly. Cen Yin has made a move, can there be a misunderstanding?

Duanmu Yuan's eyes widened and blurted out, "I know!" It must be the long house, father, it must be the long house that hurt the mother. Duanmu Yuan grabbed Duanmu Qi's cuffs, wanting him to call the shots for his mother.

Yes?! Duanmu Fei blinked inexplicably and exchanged glances with Duanmu Jun.

What's the matter with me and my sister?

Isn't that just a "flying disaster"? Duanmu Fei secretly said in his heart, if he is not careful, his soul will fly out of the sky, anyway, everything is decided by his grandfather.

Duanmu Yuan's words made Duanmu Period feel like it was really so, and he remembered that his mother He was suspended.

When his mother was divorced in January, he was locked up in Zhuangzi and couldn't do anything, or Tang returned to Zhuangzi with Duanmu Yuan to tell him the news that Changfang had caused his mother to be divorced, and Changfang also forced Tang's mother and daughter to avoid Zhuangzi.

The anger in Duanmu Period's heart jumped upwards "......" and a pair of eyes were crimson, almost to the extreme.

The three rooms of them have retreated again and again, and the two girls in the long room are still strange and aggressive!

These two girls are really narrow-minded.

In the final analysis, a few years ago, he and the Tang family wanted to pass their young son to the long house, and these two girls whose hearts were smaller than the tip of a needle still held a grudge until now.

"Duanmujun, Duanmufei, you guys are too careful!" Duanmu Qi raised his hand and pointed at Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei, and scolded angrily by name, "Do you know what it means to be both glorious and humiliated!" Don't forget that our surname is Duanmu! ”

Listening to Duanmu Qi's angry reprimand, Duanmu Yuan felt that the grievances that had been pressed in his heart for more than four years were surging out like a flood. Since beating her parents and going to Ru County, she has been a person with her tail between her legs in the house for the past few years, and who in this house takes her three girls in their eyes!

She was wronged, and she could only break her teeth and swallow blood......

No matter what she said, she is also the daughter of the Duanmu family, why should she be wronged like this! Why can Duanmufei become the future queen, and she just wants to marry into the Taijun Palace, Duanmujun still wants to obstruct herself!

Thinking about it, Duanmu Yuan's eyes turned red, and crystal tears filled his eyes, and he was about to fall......

"Smack!"

Duanmuxian slapped his palm heavily on the desk, shaking the blue and white porcelain teacup and jumping slightly.

Even if there was still a trace of uncertainty hidden in Duanmu Xian's heart before, even that trace of worry has completely disappeared at this moment.

It is imperative to split up.

"Your daughter-in-law was taken away by Jinyiwei because she was talking nonsense outside!"

"She's such an adult, and her son is about to marry a daughter-in-law, doesn't she know what to say and what not to say?!"

Duanmuxian's voice became colder and colder, and he really wanted to stuff this stupid son back into his mother's stomach.

Not only did Duanmu Yuan feel aggrieved, but Duanmu Qi felt even more aggrieved, feeling that Duanmu Xian was simply bewitched by Changfang, no, it was he who saw that Duanmu Fei was going to be the queen, and he deliberately covered it up.

Today, he still has to fight for right and wrong in front of his family!

Duanmu Qi turned his head to look at Duanmu Yuan and asked, "Sister Yuan, what do you say?" ”

Duanmu Yuan was holding back her full stomach, and when Duanmu asked this, she said aggrievedly:

"Father, mother didn't do anything!"

"A few days ago, the king of Taijun came to ask for his eldest sister to marry his family, and his mother found out about it, so she helped to make peace. It's a good family business! ”

"Taijun Palace?" Duanmuxian raised his eyebrows, and his forehead began to throb again.

The death of the princess Liang of Xiantai County is suspicious, Mu Yan ordered Dali Temple to investigate the case thoroughly, the case has not yet been clarified, but the Taijun Royal Mansion is asking for relatives in the upper Duanmu Mansion at this time, and its intentions are clearly revealed.

Duanmu Yuan heard the surprise in Duanmu Xian's tone, and felt that his grandfather must also think that this was a good family business.

"yes." Duanmu Yuan puffed up his chest, nodded, and continued, "Yesterday, the princess of Taijun personally brought the prince to the mansion to meet the eldest sister, but the eldest sister asked the concierge to turn people away. ”

Duanmuyuan took the opportunity to sue Duanmujun and said secretly: That is, my grandfather has been away from home for the past few days, Duanmujun dares to be so lawless, and even the princess and the prince of Taijun dare to slack off!

"......" Duanmu Xian's heart moved, before the brocade clothes Wei Ning Baihu said that the niece of the Tang clan arranging the next room outside indiscriminately, should it have something to do with the Taijun Palace?

The fourth lady Ren and the fifth lady Ni also heard a little taste, and their faces showed a bit of mockery.

After many years, they know very well that the Tang family is not a warm-hearted person, and she is so saddled up and helped the Taijun Mansion to talk about this family matter, I am afraid that she will get any benefits from the other party.

Seeing that Duanmu Xian neither interrupted nor got angry, Duanmu Yuan became more and more confident in his heart, and continued to say: "Mother reasoned with the eldest sister at that time, but the eldest sister didn't listen at all. ”

"Originally, my mother wanted to find my grandfather to be the master, but my grandfather, you have not been in the house for a few days, and I don't know when I will come back......"

"Mother went to Huangjue Temple early in the morning to offer incense, saying that she wanted to ask for a sign to ask the Bodhisattva what he meant."

Hearing this, Duanmu Xian almost laughed.

He is a smart man, and at this moment, combined with the cause and effect, he has strung things together, and finally understands what is going on.

What does it mean to ask the Bodhisattva, Tang is going to Huangjue Temple to gossip with people!

The niece who arranged the partition room indiscriminately, it turned out that this was the arrangement!

Tang wanted to calculate Duanmujun's marriage, didn't he hit the tip of Cen Yin's gun? Bring about one's own destruction!!

Duanmu Xian laughed angrily and hooked his lips sneeringly, "So, your mother is still kind?" ”

Duanmu Yuan nodded confidently: "Mother is indeed kind. ”

"The family business of the prince of Taijun and the eldest sister could not be better, this is a happy event. My mother was also afraid that my eldest sister would be confused and miss this good family business, so she said that she wanted to find someone to ask for an idea. The three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang! ”

Hearing this, even the fourth lady Ren and the fifth lady Ni also understood. If the marriage between this man and woman is not successful, it is carried out by the two families themselves in private, how can anyone say it to the outside world in a grand manner, if this marriage fails, won't it ruin the reputation of the girl's family!

The Tang clan ran to Huangjue Temple to find someone to "ask for ideas", didn't that just want the overlord to make a bow and let the raw rice be cooked into rice? ! It's a good calculation.

"Smack!"

This time, Duanmuxian picked up the teacup and threw it out, and the teacup smashed on Duanmuyuan's skirt, and the tea and broken porcelain pieces splashed, which frightened Duanmuyuan's flower complexion.

The ground was a mess, and tea flowed on the mirror-like ground.

Duanmu Xian's move was too obvious, and he was not satisfied with this family business.

Duanmu was extremely aggrieved, and couldn't help but speak for the Tang family: "Father, Sister Yuan's mother is also kind-hearted, Sister Jun is a lot older, what's wrong with the prince of Taijun?" ”

When he said this, the anger in Duanmu Xian's heart instantly turned into exhaustion.

These two fathers and daughters don't even know what they're doing wrong!
