The patriarchs and elders lived near the Qin family's ancestral hall, but after half an hour, they were picked up.

Hearing the old lady's request to split the family, the patriarch of the Qin family, who was in his seventies and walked tremblingly, slammed the ground with a cane, and his gray beard was so angry that he was messy: "Confused, confused!" The fourth family, when you were young, you stirred up the Hou Mansion like muddy waters, if it wasn't for the fourth brother's fierce suppression, you would have turned the sky upside down. Now that the fourth child is gone, the Hou Mansion has no one to take care of you, you have been tossing things around the years, right?

Thinking that you are the mother of the Hou Ye, we didn't care, but you actually put forward such a harsh separation condition, so where is the separation, it is clearly a severance! ”

The old lady stretched her face and sneered: "Patriarch, can you have land to live and eat, and are you not supplied by our Hou Mansion?" I invite you here today just to be a witness, and I haven't had your part to tell you anything! ”

"You!" The patriarch was so angry that he was dizzy, and he was held up, and everyone glared at the old lady.

"Patriarchs, elders, I have already made up my mind with my mother, and you don't need to persuade me anymore." Hou Ye rubbed his face fiercely, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, even if I am not from the Qin family, the Qin family is still my root." ”

The patriarchs and elders were heartbroken, but they had nothing to do, they could only witness the two families signing the separation contract, and at the end, Qin Xiao did not need to bear the responsibility of the old lady in the future.

It can be said that this is really a contract to cut off the bloodline.

In quadruplicate, each of the two families holds one copy, one copy in the clan, one copy is backed up for the yamen, and the changes to the genealogy are sent to the yamen for sealing. The old lady even sent someone to follow her, and the people who supervised the yamen pulled the household registration of the Hou Ye's family out of the Hou Mansion.

Qin Xiao also wrote down the notes of the Hou Ye's change, and immediately changed his clothes and rode into the palace.

The two families were a little eager to sort things out one by one, and when the Hou Ye came back, they had already obtained the emperor's consent.

Zhou Shantong, the wife of the Hou Mansion, was not idle, gritted her teeth and ignored the persuasion of her grandmother, took out her dowry and the savings she had saved over the years, and bought a lot of valuable objects and title deeds in the house in a scattered way, so that she could make up 200,000 taels of silver.

Seeing that the good things she had been staring at for a long time were pouring into her own small vault, the old lady's eyebrows and eyes were full of ecstasy that could not be concealed. Anyway, everything went as she wanted, Qin Xiao's family had no value in her eyes, and she didn't look at the sky and was already drowsy, so she directly asked people to kick them out with a cold face.

Without the objects worth 200,000 taels of silver, Zhou Shantong, who was only named Madame Qin, only had some clothes and daily necessities, as well as furniture and so on. Let people go to the market and call a group of odd workers with horse-drawn carts and ox-carts to help move the house, Mrs. Qin's things, Hou Ye's house full of books, calligraphy and paintings, three children's belongings, five aunts and four concubines' children's things, but only five carriages.

I think that Mrs. Qin's dowry was one hundred and twenty lifts!

The old lady personally guarded the gate of the Hou Mansion, and checked the luggage one by one before letting it go, except for Mrs. Qin's things, all the valuables and silver of the concubines and the children were touched, saying that these were the things of the Hou Mansion, which caused them to cry for a while, and they were yelled by the Hou Ye Tie with a blue face:

"If you can't bear those things, you stay!"

This sentence successfully choked them, and they could only sit in the carriage with the burden of only a few clothes left.

"Ah, they, Aunt Zhang, are you saying that the master moved out on the day they separated?" Ran Jia couldn't sit still and stood up directly, wanting to go out and remembering that she hadn't changed her clothes, she was anxiously spinning in place.

"My good lady, don't worry, otherwise the old man will find out, and the old slave will probably be sold!" Aunt Zhang stepped forward to support Ran Jia with a bitter face, "Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou Ye are now living in the inn, and the old slave also quietly inquired about the two of them, and only then did they find Miss Ran Yu and ask everything clearly." ”

"Miss Ran Yu said, Master Hou sent someone to find a house from this place where we live, and you and Mrs. Hou will be able to see the world in the future."

"No, I have to go and see it myself, otherwise I won't be able to eat and sleep," said Ran Jia, so she changed her clothes, carried a stack of silver tickets, and took the Qiu sisters to the inn in a carriage.

Looking at the deserted inn, Ran Jia's heart became even more sour, her master was Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when she married Hou Ye, she was so beautiful with red makeup. Now that he has been robbed of his dowry, he can't even afford to live in a particular inn. She also knew that the whole thing closest to the palace and the magnates, small and compact, was where they lived.

After getting out of the carriage, Ran Jia hesitated a little, would the master, who was originally so proud and high, not want to see him? It is more likely that she will refuse her help.

"Ran Jia?" Ran Yu trotted over in surprise, took Ran Jia's hand and looked it up and down, left and right, and said with a smile: "You are really a little conscienceless, it has been two months since the birthday banquet of Lord Hou, and I don't know how to give us a letter." It's really like having a father-in-law and forgetting his mother's family. ”

Ran Jia looked at Ran Yu, her heart was a little more steady, she held Ran Yu's hand tightly, her eyes were red, "I've been thinking about you, but there are a lot of things at home, and I don't have time to go to the Hou Mansion to see you when I'm busy." ”

"Yes, yes, you have become a parent, you have your own small family, and you are very busy," Ran Yu said jokingly, his eyes looked curiously at Ran Jia's stomach, and sighed: "We haven't seen each other for two months, and you have a baby in your belly?" ”

Ran Jia nodded, and she also sighed with emotion in her heart, she had only been married for two months, and the Hou Mansion changed its master, two days ago she was worried about going to the banquet of the Zhong Mansion, and Ying Jian also said that she wanted to solve the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and it was only a few days later, and the Hou Mansion had really undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ran Jia suspects that there is a key in this. It's just that the master is so innocent!

She pinched the silver ticket in her sleeve, preparing not to give it to her master first, and then go back to discuss a safe way with Ying Key, otherwise this would be a kind of disrespect to her master.

She also paused in her steps, and asked Ran Yu anxiously and worriedly: "Master, how is the master, how is the master, will she be willing to see me at this moment?" ”

The smile on Ran Yu's little face paused, slowly pulled it down, and sighed lightly: "Where can I go, the title of Mrs. Hou Fu is gone, and the silver on her body is gone, but the concubines around Hou Ye followed out one by one, as well as the young masters and young ladies who came out."

In the past, they each had their own yard, and the master was so out of sight and out of mind that they were not bothered, but now they saw the heavens and the earth swaying in front of their wife, and this one said that there was no tea, and the other said that there were no pastries, and they stretched out their hands to ask for silver.

The money in the master's hand is only enough to rent a house, where can they be in trouble! ”

Ran Jia became even more worried when she heard this, the master has not been happy for a day since he joined the Hou Mansion, and all kinds of troubles have piled up, even she, a personal girl, is very angry.

I still remember that on the first day of the master's marriage, the old lady prepared a big gift, and the girl who was forced to give the Hou Ye was pregnant, and she gave birth to a son earlier than the lady who was serious, and the name of the eldest son was taken away. In fact, there is no pickling thing in any house, everyone covers it and does not let others know, the child changes a lot, and when he grows up, he can hide how old he is, and he can also have a good reputation in the house.

But at the birthday banquet held by the Hou Ye for her, the old lady called the concubine who was holding the boy who had just passed 100 days, and announced that the Hou Mansion had an eldest son.

The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were also very angry, and came to the door to seek justice for the master, and the old lady said that they cruelly wanted to suffocate their own grandson, such a vicious family, she didn't dare to be in-laws, and wanted the Hou Ye to give the master who had just given birth to a child a letter of divorce on the spot.

The women of this era are tantamount to a life talisman, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion are helpless, and seeing the master's indisputable appearance, they reprimand her for disgrace to the Prime Minister's Mansion and not worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister's family.

The in-laws and mother-in-law put pressure on the master, and the confinement did not sit well and fell into a lot of diseases, perhaps this is one of the reasons why the master gave birth to another child and could not regenerate.

Ran Jia pursed her lips, she held Ran Yu's hand tightly and said: "Ran Yu, you help me enlighten my master well, if I can leave the Hou Mansion, there will be a sea and sky in the future, and how to live a life is smoother than before."

As for those who are in the way, the master does not need to pay attention to them, after all, the money is in the hands of the master, and the master will give it if he likes it, and if he doesn't give it to him, he won't make trouble. When the master is worried, how dare they really make trouble!

It's just that he has wronged himself to his master. ”

Ran Yu nodded again and again, "That's right, they make trouble, and the happier they are, the more uncomfortable they are." The master only has to keep the silver, why bother to eat and sleep for this group of annoying things. ”

Ran Jia tugged at the corners of her lips, did not take out the silver ticket in her arms, but quietly stuffed the heavy purse into Ran Yu's hand through the wide sleeves, and whispered: "The master does not have much money in his hand, and he is definitely not willing to eat.

The master is upset and can't take care of the little masters, you have to think a little more about it, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Well, I see," Ran Yu pursed her mouth, her eyes were red and she was holding the purse hard, feeling that her whole arm was too heavy to lift. It's only been two days since I left the house, and the master's family has a lot of ugly faces, not only because of the blow from the cold family, but also because the food doesn't fit well.

"I'm not going to see the master today, and I'll come back when the master's mood stabilizes. You can rest assured, Ying Jian said that the master is a person who does great things, so he does not have the name of the marquis, and the emperor will not treat him badly. Besides, why was the master able to inherit the title in the first place, not because of his outstanding ability and his heart for the people and the country? ”
