The matter of the Jiang family's separation soon reached Xin Yao's ears, Jiang Xinyao was so shocked that she gasped, and hurriedly ordered Li's mother to put down what she was doing and go to the mansion to see the Gu family in person.

At dusk, Li's mother rushed back to the house.

At the beginning of September, the morning and evening were already quite cool, and last night there was an autumn rain, and the autumn wind blew off the yellow leaves on the two plane trees in the yard overnight.

Xin Yao was helped to stand quietly under the porch, looking at the gold all over the ground, with a hint of loneliness on her delicate face.

Mother Li walked up to Xin Yao, motioned for Danyue to go back to the room to get a cloak for the eldest grandmother, looked around the yard, and saw that there were no outsiders, so she whispered back.

The second wife said that a few days before the separation, the old lady called the second master and privately gave the second master 1.8 million taels of silver, and 1,000 acres of good paddy fields in the capital, which were placed under the names of the third and fourth masters. The silver is the old lady's private house for the rest of her life, and the paddy field is added privately by the old lady after entering Beijing. These things, Dafang doesn't know. ”

Mother Li looked at Xin Yao's face and continued: "The second wife said that the old lady still respects the rules in her bones, the young and the young are orderly, and the concubines are different, and there is no mistake. ”

When Xin Yao heard that the old lady gave the second room so much silver, she felt very uncomfortable.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the sky, and did not speak for a long time.

Danyue took the cloak, gently put it on the grandmother, and comforted: "Grandma, the wind is rising, let's go inside and rest." ”

Xin Yao nodded, Mother Li, Danyue helped her into the study from left to right.

Mother Li took the tea from the little maid. handed it to Xin Yao, and said: "The second wife also said that the old lady heard that Zheng sacrificed wine to tell the old man to return to his hometown. was afraid that the third master would seek revenge on her, so he hurriedly divided the family. Back then, it was the old lady and the second master who entered Beijing together, and it was the second master who sent people away, so the things in the house, fields, houses, and Zhuangzi. The shops are all given to the big room. The old lady's private room was given to the second master. ”

Xin Yao held the porcelain blue and white high feet and covered her wrists for a long time. only then sighed: "The old lady is from everyone's background, and the importance can still be distinguished." Jiang Fu has been in her hands for so many years, and it is not easy to have today's family business. Although she has always been bad to me. is a real love for his father. I don't blame my father for being caught in the middle, in a dilemma. Don't look at the big house, everything is in the hands of the old lady. ”

This once high-ranking ancestor of the Jiang Mansion, the woman who forced her grandfather to hide in the old mansion, has now become a living corpse, living for a long time. Jiang Xinyao sighed.

Danyue flattened her mouth and said, "Grandma is soft-hearted again, she can only walk around the ground in the past few days, and she still coughs at night." ”

Danyue slapped the old lady with a cane on her grandmother, and she has always been obsessed with it. When it comes to the matter of Nafu, he always has no good face, and his face is full of righteous indignation.

Xin Yao ignored her either. I picked up the bird's nest, ate a few bites, and put it on a few casually.

Mother Li glared at Danyue. The light moon shrank her head and begged for mercy.

Mother Li thought for a while and said, "Grandma, second grandmother Wu is sick." ”

Xin Yao looked at the jade platform marigold Lingbo daffodils that were blooming on the windowsill, took a deep breath and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is the one in the northwest corner who has a headache." Out of the house. But it's her serious mother-in-law, and that one is unconscious. In the future, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will get along with each other, I am afraid that there will be a lot of ”

Danyue sighed heavily and said: "Grandma, when the slave maid thinks that Aunt Zhou has not only lifted the ban, but also can be a serious mother-in-law, she can't swallow the anger in her heart." Thinking about the dirty things she did at the beginning, it really makes people gnash their teeth. ”

Xin Yao motioned for Dan Yue to help her to the windowsill, fiddled with the daffodils a few times, and said with a smile: "What's not to swallow?" The mother's family that she relied on was down, her daughter was expelled from Jiang's mansion, her son didn't have any great skills, and the money was in the hands of the second sister-in-law, and she was too old. Let's see, which one is pleasing to your heart's content. ”

"No matter how bad it is, there is not a single hair missing. This time the branch is out, maybe what will happen? ”

"Danyue, these days, whoever can hold the economic power is the master. With the means of the second sister-in-law, she wanted to treat Aunt Zhou, and pinched the snail with ten fingers, one pinched and one accurate. ”

As soon as Danyue heard this, her eyebrows immediately fluttered and said, "Why did the second grandmother fall ill in bed?" ”

"I don't understand yet, she did it for everyone in the house.

Xin Yao turned her head, tapped her forehead with her slender jade fingers, and scolded: "If it were you, the father-in-law and mother-in-law above would be alive, and the two younger brothers below would be under the age of majority, so they would be clamoring to split up, and they would take their aunt out of the house and treat them as a serious mother-in-law. The second brother sang about white face, so she naturally wanted to sing red face. ”

Danyue exclaimed: "So that's the case!" ”

"That's not all! They took away half of the family property on the surface of the second room, and if they got cheap, they couldn't sell it, otherwise they would be hated. No matter what my father said, he was also a dignified four-grade official, and only by leaning on this big tree could they enjoy the shade comfortably. ”

Danyue's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked a little puzzled: "Grandma, do you say that the second grandmother wants to divide or doesn't want to share, why am I listening, a little confused?" ”

Xin Yao snorted: "Look at this, at the beginning, most of the second sisters-in-law didn't want to divide it, what kind of virtue is her husband, how many catties and taels she has, she doesn't know." Fortunately, her father handed over all the money to her, and on the bright side, she got the big head again, and lived a quiet life behind closed doors. ”

"Besides, the second brother and the third sister are brothers and sisters in the end, the sister-in-law was expelled from the house, and the second brother and sister-in-law are not very good-looking, so it is a good thing to avoid them far away."

Li's mother Mao Sai suddenly said: "It's strange that the second wife said that it would be good to raise it for a few days, and she didn't even invite a doctor." ”

Xin Yao smiled knowingly and said, "Mother is the smartest person in this house." ”

Mother Li helped Xin Yao sit down and said with a smile: "The second wife is smart, and the eldest grandmother is even smarter, Mom, I have never seen anyone smarter than grandma." ”

Xin Yao covered her mouth and chuckled: "Since I was a child, my mother has said this more than a hundred times, no matter how stupid I am, I will tell you to be smart." ”

After that, Xin Yao paused and said, "This family is very close to my heart!" ”

"Isn't it?"

Wei Yunxi said: "When the old lady goes to the south, the house will be quiet, and the second wife can be regarded as worry-free this time." Those two can't afford to set off the wind and waves, they have no children to rely on, and they have no family to rely on, so they have to look at the face of the second wife in every word and deed? ”

Mother Li said with a smile: "It's a shame that Aunt Hong has been flattering the old lady for three days and two times, it's really better to be a person than a person." ”

Xin Yao said: "I'm just curious about this Aunt Liu, Aunt Hong has been following her father for some years, why hasn't her stomach even moved?" ”

Mother Li mysteriously approached, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, the old slave heard that the second master went to the room of the two aunts, and they are counting the days." ”

Jiang Xinyao's people who came over, how could she not understand the truth, she suddenly realized: "Father still uses this trick, no wonder!" That's it, it's not something we have to worry about, let's talk about it, where is Xu Mansion, everything is in order? ”

Mother Li smiled and said, "Grandma don't worry, everything is safe." ”

……

"Separated?"

Jiang Xinshan turned her head sharply and looked at the little maid in front of her in disbelief.

"Is the Jiang family really separated?"

The little girl in Tsing Yi nodded hurriedly and said, "Back to grandma, it's really divided." The slave inquired clearly. ”

"How?"

The little maid shook her head and said, "Back to grandma, how to divide it, the slave and maid can't find out." ”

Jiang Xinshan waved her hand in disgust, leaned on the concubine and looked at the window, quietly in a daze.

……

On the fifth day of the ninth month, night.

Du Tianxiang and Xu Hongyuan came to Xiao Mansion together, and after greeting the old lady, they went to Xiao Han's study.

Xin Yao waited in the study for a long time, and when she saw someone coming, she said with a smile: "After the uncle left, you were the first guests in the house, which made my small study room shine!" ”

Since the fight was ordered to Commander Xiao to solve the case within a time limit, and Mrs. Xiao was grounded, the already deserted Xiao Mansion has become more and more quiet, and there is not even a ghost shadow on weekdays.

Xu Hongyuan stepped forward and touched Xin Yao's hair lovingly, and said distressedly: "Your body is better, what do you want to eat, send someone to Yiyuan, and let Yinggui help you do it." When this girl heard that you were hurt again, she was so anxious that she burst into tears, and the supplements she sent a few days ago were all from her. ”

Xin Yao's heart warmed, and she repeatedly said that she was very good.

Du Tianxiang looked at Xin Yao's face, stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.

Xin Yao knew that he was an occupational criminal, so she obediently stretched out her hand and put it on the table.

Du Tianxiang was diagnosed for a long time, nodded and said: "Grandfather's medication is really old-fashioned, my cousin-in-law is recovering well, and in another month, she will be fine." ”

Xu Hongyuan said with a smile: "It's a good thing to be quiet in the house, just live behind closed doors, and you don't need to entertain this or that." Yao'er's body also needs to be recuperated. ”

Jiang Xinyao covered her handkerchief and said with a smile: "The groom must have been busy these days, so he will have this sigh." ”

Xu Hongyuan smiled bitterly: "I'm an idler, my limbs are not diligent, and I don't divide the grains, how can I be busy?" It's all about them. ”

Xin Yao looked at Xu Hongyuan, dressed in a half-new gray robe, and the blue color under her eyes was clearly visible, she hadn't seen her for a few days, but she had lost a lot of weight, and she knew that it must be because she was worried about sixteen.

She hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea, melons and fruits, and snacks, and said with a smile: "It's good that you're not busy in Xufu, why did you think of coming to me?" ”

Du Tianxiang leaned back on the chair, pinched a dark purple grape and put it in his mouth, spit out the seeds, threw them in the hands of Weiyun who was waiting on the side, and said with a smile: "He, he didn't say he wanted to come to see you, and he dragged me here!" ”

Weiyun looked at the grape seeds in the palm of her hand, turned her face and rolled her eyes.

Xin Yao quipped: "Little uncle, although my niece and I are not well, the wedding gift is still prepared, and there is no need for the little uncle to come to the door to ask for it!" Light Moon, get the stuff quickly! ”

Xu Hongyuan was angry and funny: "You kid, I'm worried about your body, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to take time to see you in the future, so I dragged Tianxiang over in the middle of the night." ”

Danyue threw the grape seeds, took out a stack of silver tickets from the desk desk, and sent them to Xu Hongyuan. (To be continued)
