It was only now that Duanmu Xian completely understood, no wonder Jinyiwei acted so quickly, if the Tang clan and the group of long-tongued women spread the rumors all over the city, it would be too late.

I can't go to the door in person to explain that I don't want to marry the Taijun Palace, right?

If they are still alive and well, they want to take care of the marriage of their niece in the next room, and there is no head of the family in their eyes!

Duanmujun sneered and said mockingly: "Third uncle, you went to Ruxian County to be a parent official for four years, why are you still 'the same'?" My niece advises you, you just take care of your three rooms, and you don't have to worry about the long room! ”

Cen Gongzi is mighty! Duanmufei quietly pulled Duanmufei's sleeve.

The corners of Duanmujun's lips curled, with a touch of sweetness that only she knew, and her heart was soft. She also understood that he was standing up for her!

Duanmu Qi already felt aggrieved, felt that Duanmu Xian was eccentric, and at this moment, Duanmu Jun said this, and the anger that had nowhere to go instantly surged towards Duanmu Jun.

"No rules!" Duanmu Qi raised his finger and pointed at Duanmu Jun, so angry that his fingers trembled slightly, "Who taught you to talk to your elders like this!" ”

"Father, look at Sister Jun, it's really unruly, she actually talks to me like this, and she also hurt her third aunt!" Duanmu Qi complained indignantly, wanting Duanmu Xian to see what he was used to Duanmu Jun!

Duanmuxian's face became more and more ugly, and his mood was extremely complicated, tired, heartache, disappointed, helpless, and remorseful...... It's all there.

It's weird, or he can only blame himself, blame him for paying too much attention to his career back then, and for seven or eight years, he went out alone, handed over his home to the He family, and his sons were all crooked.

It's hard to recover from the water, and it's too late to regret it now.

Duanmu Qi was still saying: "Father, how can I say that I am also the uncle of Sister Jun and Sister Scarlet, can't I discipline these two sisters?" ”

It is! Duanmu Yuan thought so. Could it be that Duanmujun is allowed to discipline himself in the name of his eldest sister as his mother, and his father and mother are not allowed to discipline Duanmujun and Duanmufei?

"So you think you can meddle in your niece's marriage?" Duanmu Xian asked in a deep voice.

Duanmu Qi raised his chin confidently and said: "Father, the eldest brother and sister-in-law died early, and we, as elders, care about our niece's marriage, which is also our duty." ”

Duanmu Chao almost sympathized with this third brother in his heart. Duanmu was locked up in Zhuangzi for so long, I am afraid that I don't know anything about the death of the princess Liang of Xiantai County ordered Dali Temple to be ordered by the regent.

Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Period, whose face was flushed and his eyes were shining, and he was silent for a moment before he said lightly: "Then let's split up." After the family is separated, the matter of the long house is not up to you and the couple to worry about. ”

Suddenly, Duanmu seemed to be splashed with a bucket of cold water again, first he was cold, and then an inexplicable impulse suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, and he jumped up from the ground suddenly, describing his madness.

"Father, are you completely ignoring your sons and other grandchildren for the sake of these two girls in the long house?!"

Duanmu felt that Duanmu Xian was simply old and confused, and he didn't know what ecstasy soup was poured by those two sisters.

"At this time, what about the future of your sons and your grandchildren?"

"And what about the children's marriage?"

Duanmu Qi looked around at the people kneeling on the ground, and said to Duanmuteng and Duanmushuo: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, don't be dumb, hurry up and persuade your father!" ”

Not to mention anything else, so many children in the family are going to get married, and at this time, if the family is separated, the fourth and fifth rooms will not be good.

Originally, relying on the Shoufu family, the children could find a good family, but after the family was separated, what should the children's relatives do?

I and my fifth brother are both white, and the fourth brother is just a six-grade sesame official, what good relatives can I find for my children? !

As soon as Duanmu Qi said this, the faces of Duanmu Teng and Duanmu Shuo became even more ugly, their faces were blue and white, I don't know if they should blame Duanmu Xian for being ruthless, or if they hated Duanmu Qi and the Tang clan for causing them to be involved.

Ren was so angry that the corners of his forehead were beating wildly, and he screamed: "Third uncle, you are embarrassed to say!" If it weren't for you and your third sister-in-law, would my father want to split up? ”

Duanmu couldn't pull down his body and scolded his brother and daughter-in-law, so he could only scold Duanmu Teng: "Third brother, you just let your daughter-in-law talk to your brother like this?" ”

Everyone else slapped him in the face, and Duanmuteng couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "Then you also want to look like a brother!" "His second brother pretended to be sick and sneaked back to Beijing from Ru County, do you think they don't know?!

"You...... You're all lawless, aren't you? I don't know what it means to be inferior to the elderly! ”

"Third brother, since you know that the elders and the young are inferior, don't you see your father here? Is there a place for you to speak? ”

“……”

In the Zhenqu Hall, several of them quarreled word by word, chaotic, noisy and noisy like a vegetable market, until a trembling voice came from outside the house: "Old lady, the patriarch has arrived!" ”

The room fell silent for a moment, silent.

Duanmu Qi and Duanmu Teng, who were originally arguing, were silent, and their eyes widened.

My father had already sent someone to invite the patriarch, which showed that his determination to split up the family was afraid that there was no room for change.

In this strange silence, Duanmu Xian only spit out two words:

"Yes, please."

After a while, Duanmu Ning, the patriarch wearing a Taishi green brocade robe, came under the guidance of a Tsing Yi steward.

Duanmu Ning looked at the person who had been kneeling in the room and frowned. Duanmuxian specially sent a steward to invite him to the house, saying that he had important matters to discuss, and Duanmu Ning had a vague premonition at that moment.

Duanmu Xian got up and saluted Duanmu Ning, invited him to sit down again, and then said straight to the point: "Big brother, I specially invited you to come over to the house to divide the family. ”

Duanmu Ning rubbed his eyebrows, and his heart sank. In March, Duanmuxian mentioned that he wanted to split the family, and he persuaded him to do it, and now Duanmuxian suddenly wants to split up the family, is it really his sons who are not filial?

Duanmu Ning glanced at Duanmu Chao, Duanmu Period and the others with blaming eyes.

But no matter how big Duanmu Chao they are, they can't easily mention the separation of the family, the family and everything is prosperous.

Duanmu Ning calmed down and earnestly persuaded: "Second brother, no matter what the juniors have, if they are punished, this family must be carefully considered." ”

Of course, Duanmu Ning also has his own considerations.

Their Duanmu family was originally a Huaibei farmer, a cold cloth, that is, out of a Duanmu Xian who can read and passed the Tanhua examination, these 30 years, the entire family of the Duanmu family has also been stained, these years, there are children in the clan who have been admitted to the show, lifted, and become a scholarly family.

Duanmuxian also has the heart to help the clan, not only out of the money in Huaibei hometown to rebuild the ancestral hall, but also bought a sacrificial field, built a family school, but all the children who are good at reading are very careful, such as Duanmu Ning's young son has a little talent for reading, Duanmu Xian to help contact Mr. and arrange the academy, finally the youngest son was finally admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirty-five, and now it is just a small editor, and there are many places that need to rely on Duanmu Xian's house in the future!

is for his own family and for the sake of his clan, Duanmu Ning also sincerely hopes that Duanmuxian's house can become more and more prosperous.

Duanmu Chao hurriedly echoed Duanmu Ning and said, "Please also ask the eldest uncle to persuade my father, you must not split the family!" ”

Duanmu Xian glanced at Duanmu Chao lightly, and said categorically to Duanmu Ning: "Big brother, I have made up my mind." I invited my eldest brother to come over this time just to be a witness. ”

"......" Duanmu Ning was still a little hesitant.

The separation of the family is really important, and he is really afraid that Duanmu Xian will damage the reputation of the Duanmu family on the spur of the moment, and he will regret it in the future.

Duanmu Xian could probably guess what Duanmu Ning was thinking, got up and said, "Big brother, come with me." ”

Together with Duanmu Ning, he avoided the west and spoke.

The light in the small western room was a little dim, and even the air seemed a little dull.

Duanmu Xian didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "Big brother, I have also carefully considered what you said last time. There are pros and cons to splitting the family, but now for the sake of the Duanmu family, it is better to split the family. ”

Duanmu Ning became more and more confused the more he listened.

Duanmuxian simply made his words clear: "Big brother, let me tell you directly, now that the situation between the DPRK and China is chaotic, it is me, and I don't have a bottom in my heart." ”

"The four girls seem to have a good family affair, but no one knows what will happen after they can do it. Now the Duanmu family can only protect the family by hiding the edge, not standing in line, and doing errands with peace of mind, so as to respond to all changes without change. ”

"Hey, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but you are not an outsider, eldest brother, what are my unfilial sons, you have also seen it, eldest brother. They have no ability, but they are restless, and they make trouble every three or five times, and they are ashamed to say that today the third daughter-in-law was arrested by Jinyiwei for arranging rumors, and before the He family wanted to send the He family girl to the regent as a concubine......"

"If they continue to make trouble like this, even I, the first assistant, won't be able to protect them!"

"They don't want to think about it, can anyone fight for this 'dragon merit'?!"

Duanmu Xian's face sank like water, and every word was more dignified than one word.

He also carefully analyzed the situation to his sons, telling them to think twice before acting, but the result......

The more Duanmu Ning listened, the more frightened he became, he didn't expect that the Tang clan would be arrested by Jinyiwei, and when he heard Duanmu Xian mention what he was doing from the dragon, his heartbeat accelerated.

Even he also knew that this dragon skill was not so contentious?!

If you can't get it right, you're going to wipe out your family! Duanmu Ning's brows furrowed even tighter, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

Duanmu Xian sighed again, "I've thought about it carefully, only by dividing the family and letting them have no dependence, will they do things in a restrained way, so as not to cause a monstrous disaster to the Duanmu family!" ”

Duanmu pondered quietly for a moment, and also sighed: "Second brother, you are smarter than me, and you have seen more of the world than me, since you have made up your mind, then I will not persuade you." ”

If it weren't for Duanmu Xian, their Duanmu family would not have the status they have today.

As long as they get through this difficulty, Mu Yan will successfully ascend the throne in the future, and Duanmu Fei will be the queen, then their Duanmu family will be the descendants.

For the sake of the clan, they must cut off their tails to survive, and their family can't let a few rat feces spoil a pot of porridge, and finally end up like Cheng'en Mansion!

Thinking about it, the last trace of hesitation in Duanmu Ning's heart also dissipated.

One after the other, the brothers went out of the west room and returned to the main hall.

The others were still on their knees.

Duanmu Xian said solemnly again: "Today, the patriarch is a witness, and the five rooms are separated. ”

This time, Duanmu Ning did not open his mouth to persuade again.

Duanmu Chao, Duanmu Period, and the others present all knew in their hearts, and Duanmu Ning was actually persuaded by Duanmu Xian.

It's imperative to split up!

The arrogance before the Duanmu period no longer exists, and his whole body is like losing his strength, and he almost collapsed.

The air in the main hall seemed to be a little more depressed.

Duanmu Xian ignored everyone's different looks, and continued unhurriedly: "According to the law of Dasheng, the eldest son of the family has fifty percent, so the long house has fifty percent, and the rest of the rooms are divided equally. ”

What the?!

Duanmu Xian's words made the main hall explode again, and even Duanmu Ning was a little surprised, but how to divide the family, after all, it was Duanmu Xian's family matter, and Duanmu Ning did not say anything.

The fourth master Duanmuteng and the fifth master Duanmushuo exchanged glances with each other.

They don't really care about how to divide the family, anyway, they are concubines, and there are not many family businesses that they can inherit.

In comparison, they don't want to separate the family, the Duanmu family is the first auxiliary mansion, and the niece is likely to be the future queen, and the fool also knows that if they don't separate the family, they will definitely enjoy more benefits in the two rooms.

"Father," Duanmuteng pleaded again, "you better think again." ”

"yes, yes. Please, son. ”

“……”

However, no matter how Duanmu Teng and Duanmu Shuo pleaded, Duanmu Xian was not moved.

Duanmu Jun was also surprised, he didn't expect his grandfather to be so divided.

In the final analysis, there are only two sisters in the long house, and there is no need to divide the family so much.

Duanmu Jun was about to speak, when he heard Duanmu angrily object: "Father, it's unfair to divide the family like this!" ”

Duanmu was so angry that his eyes were red.

Outrageous!

They are sisters-in-law, how can they be treated like concubines!

"Although the Dasheng Law stipulates so, according to the Dasheng Law, the long house is extinct, and the family property does not have the share of the long house." Duanmu Chao said righteously, and Duanmu also nodded frequently.

According to the law of Dasheng, a woman has no right to inherit, at most she gives a dowry when she gets married.

Therefore, if the long-term house is extinct, the inheritance will be extended.

Duanmu Chao said eloquently: "Big brother left early, I am the eldest son in the family!" ”

The implication was that he should inherit half of the family's estate.

Duanmu closed his mouth again, and Sakura's lips pursed. I didn't say what I wanted to say, since the second uncle said that my grandfather's division was unfair, she said at this time that the long house could be divided less, wouldn't it be true that my grandfather's division was unfair?

Duanmu Ning in front looked at Duanmu Chao with a subtle expression, sighing in his heart.

Only then did he understand why Duanmu Xian insisted on splitting up. Obviously, Duanmu Chao still firmly begged not to split the family, and begged himself to persuade Duanmu Xian, but now he feels that "the separation of the family is unfair".

In the face of several sons who begged or questioned or opposed, Duanmuxian was still unmoved.

Duanmu Chao looked at Duanmu Xian's immobile appearance, and was even more angry in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "Father, do you want to divide the second room so much?" ”

When Duanmu Chao said this, everyone else looked at each other, and a ridiculous idea arose in their hearts: Duanmu Xian wouldn't really plan to do so, right?

The more Duanmu Chao spoke, the more excited he became, his mind boomed, and he asked again: "Father, do you expect these two girls in Changfang to give you a pension?" ”

Duanmu Chao's words were actually a little impulsive, but after he said it, he suddenly thought about it, and said secretly: Could it be that his father moved the idea of giving Duanmu Jun a burden?

Nine times out of ten.

Duanmujun, this girl probably also has this thought, no wonder she doesn't marry until she is nineteen years old!

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!

Is there any family in this world that has its own son, but it has to keep its granddaughter to recruit him?!

Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Chao's uncertain eyes, his tone was still so calm, and said: "The second, third, fourth and fifth rooms are all separated, and you don't have to worry about my pension." ”

At this moment, Duanmu Ning was shocked.

The hall was full of dead silence, and the birds were silent.

The people in the other rooms all looked at Duanmu Xian with an unbelievable look, and they wondered if he was crazy.

Duanmu Xian didn't care, and then continued: "Ah Heng has passed to the long room. ”

Everyone was even more shocked, and they were all dumbfounded.

"......" Duanmujun glanced at Duanmufei hesitantly, and did not object after all.

Before, she objected to Sanfang passing her young son to Changfang, because Sanfang was simply greedy for profit, and coveted the military position of the hereditary third-generation General Anyuan that her father exchanged for his life, and her heart was not right.

But Duanmu Heng is different.

And......

Duanmujun looked at Duanmuxian again, his eyes dark.

After getting along with her grandfather for so many years, she also knows a little about her grandfather, and her grandfather will not make this decision casually, he naturally has his intentions in doing so.

Duanmu Jun took Duanmu Fei's hand, pursed his lips and said nothing, leaving it up to the elders to deal with this matter.

"No, absolutely not!" Duanmu Chao was almost crazy, and objected with a loud voice, "Father, where is the reason to pass on my eldest son to someone else!" ”

"......" Duanmu Ning was already speechless in shock, and he only felt that his second brother was too unreasonable.

Duanmu Heng was also stunned, looking at Duanmu Xian in a daze, with a complicated expression.

Duanmu Xian's expression was still calm and relaxed, as if he didn't feel that he had said anything amazing.

"Second child, from ancient times to the present, only parents are in charge of separating families, and children have never been in charge!" Duanmu Xian said coldly, "If any of you think it's unfair to divide the family, then you can ask Jing Zhaoyin to come to the mansion and divide the family according to the law of Dasheng." ”

Duanmuxian's tone was sonorous and powerful, and there was no doubt about it.

"......" Duanmu Chao seemed to be dumb, and he was speechless for a while.

Duanmuxian's idea sounds ridiculous at first glance, but it is actually feasible.

Originally, the long house was out of business, and it was unlawful for Duanmu Xian to give half of the family property to the long house, but now if Duanmu Heng inherits it to the long house, then the long house will have an heir.

This is in full accordance with the law of Dasheng.

Even if they invite Jing Zhaoyin over, what is the use, that is, let outsiders see the joke for nothing, and let them themselves become the laughing stock of the entire capital after tea and dinner.

Lose your marbles. Father, he's really crazy.

Duanmu Chao only had this thought left in his mind, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Father, I don't agree to succeed!" ”

"I absolutely disagree with the repetition!"

Duanmu Chao said again emphatically, turned his head to look at Duanmu Heng, who was kneeling behind him on the right, and urged: "Ah Heng, tell your grandfather that you don't agree......

However, Duanmu Heng seemed to be lost in his soul, and knelt there expressionlessly, as if he had not heard of it.

Duanmu Chao was suddenly silenced and figured out something.

Could it be that the eldest son is willing to pass on?

"Ah Heng, did your daughter-in-law provoke it? Is it your daughter-in-law's idea to step around? Duanmu asked coldly in his voice, aggressively.

He already had his own answer in his heart, and felt that it must be Ji Lanzhou blowing the pillow wind that provoked his son to alienate their second room.

Yes.

Just because Xiao He's family sent a maid from his hometown, the jealous Ji Lanzhou held a grudge against the little family and provoked his son to pass on to him, otherwise how could his father propose to pass Duanmu Heng to Changfang for no reason.

By the way, this must have been Duanmu Heng's idea, and he must have told his father about this idea.

"Mourning Star ......," Duanmu Chao muttered vaguely.

This season Lanzhou is a mourning star, no wonder her maternal grandfather's family and her parents were all overpowered by her to either die early or have their families ruined!

And last time, she didn't slip the tire, that is, she was just a little frightened, so she provoked her son to complain about her biological father for this matter, and now it has intensified, she is going to break up their second room!

"I said at the beginning, I shouldn't have married that mourning star." Duanmu Chao shouted excitedly, "You are really stupid to read, such a mourning star coaxes you to even want your parents." If you have a daughter-in-law, don't you want a father! Unfilial son! ”

Duanmu Chao became more and more excited, describing madness, and a finger almost reached Duanmu Heng's forehead.

Duanmu Ning watched Duanmu Chao stage "changing faces" again and again, and felt even more embarrassed in his heart.

It's really a scripture that is difficult to read.

I used to only see the scenery of the second brother Duanmu Xiantang Shoufu, but I didn't expect the family to be like this! This house is in such a mess, it is a divider, the fragrance of the distance, the smell of the near, if it is not divided, it will only be more chaotic.

I can't say that my family is fighting back and forth, but it gives outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of!

The second brother is alone, and it is not easy to manage the court and the family!

Duanmu Ning sighed secretly in his heart.

"Smack!"

Duanmu Xian slapped his palm heavily on the desk, raised his hand and pointed at Duanmu Chao and said, "Enough!" What I say, you have room to put your beak! Do you still have me as a father in your eyes! ”

"For no reason, you put a trumped-up charge on your daughter-in-law, that's how you did it?!"

“……”

Duanmu Xian did not give Duanmu Chao a face-saving voice.

In the main hall, only Duanmuxian's voice was left, and everyone else was silent.

"......" Duanmu Chao was scolded by Duanmu Xian so much that he didn't dare to speak, his eyes were bright and dark, and there were green tendons on his neck.

He was not convinced, but he was afraid of the prestige of Duanmuxian's head of the family and did not dare to speak up.

Duanmu Xian could also see that Duanmu Chao was not convinced, and he didn't bother to say more.

He calmed down for a moment, turned his head to look at Duanmu Ning, who was across the case from him, and said, "Big brother, I'm bothering you to stay in my mansion for two days in the past two days." I will take care of the family property in the house as soon as possible, ask the eldest brother to be a witness, and go back to my hometown in Tongping Town to open an ancestral hall in a few days. ”

"Then I'll be bothering the house for a few days." Duanmu Ning immediately responded.

Duanmu Ning went to the guest house to rest first under the guidance of the housekeeper's grandmother, and the others were also sent away by Duanmu Xian without a word, leaving only Duanmu Jun, Duanmu Heng and Duanmu Fei to speak.

The people in the other rooms dragged their feet and turned around.

In a moment, the main hall was empty.

Duanmu Xianchang sighed, as if he had suddenly aged several years, his shoulders slumped slightly, and his face was full of exhaustion.

He once thought that his children and grandchildren were full of four generations in the same house, which was a symbol of the prosperity of the family, but he didn't expect that his family would come to this point, and he would have to split up when he was alive, and the family would be so ugly!

The family and everything prospers, and the family does not and everything declines.

Since the family is already in discord, he can only minimize the loss, so as not to let the eldest grandson be delayed by his unbalanced parents!

The eldest grandson represents the future of their Duanmu family!

Thinking about it, Duanmu Xian's expression took on a bit of solemnity, and called Duanmu Heng to him.

He patted Duanmu Heng's shoulder, looked at him and said, "Ah Heng, in the future, you will inherit the long house, and Sister Jun and the four girls will be your sisters-in-law, even if the two girls get married in the future, you must watch and help each other." ”

Thinking of Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei's family affairs, Duanmu Xian couldn't help but think of Cen Yin and Feng Yan, and his expression became more complicated.

Duanmu Heng's dark eyes seemed to be clear and deep, his pupils were surging with extremely complex emotions, and his beard settled down again, and his waist was as straight as a pine and cypress in the wind and rain.

He turned slightly, made a long gesture towards Duanmu and Duanmufei.

Meaning, he agreed to the succession.

Tomorrow is the number one, and we can finally have a guarantee again! The girl page that was limited can vote again.
