Soon, Xingbao really proposed to split up, but Jin Bao refused, and Zhang Bao Rongbao also said that it was inappropriate. Zhang Bao persuaded: "Second brother, it's common for brothers to have occasional quarrels, why bother to get to the point of splitting up?" If you really split up, you will no longer be a member of the Earl's Court, what good will it do you? ”

Xing Bao sneered: "I don't care, don't count on the name of an earl in this life, it's better to be the master of the house than to be subservient." In the past, when my parents were there, they asked me to earn money to support the family, which was my duty as a son, but now that the old people are gone, why do you still ask me to support my brothers? One by one, you have added officials to the knighthood, but I donated a small five-grade dragon guard, and the emperor courteously treated our family and gave me the title, which is actually the smallest. I worked hard to earn money outside, but I was trampled on the head by my brothers, and I worked hard but did not benefit at all, so why bother? It's serious to get out as soon as possible! ”

Jin Baotie said with a blue face: "Don't you think about it!" Ama has said a long time ago that our family should work together to revitalize the family business, and now that he has only been dead for a few days, you are saying such rebellious words? He paused, and then slowed down: "When Amma was young, he had several brothers who had a lot of trouble over the family property of the title, and as a result, the title fell on the head of the youngest Amma, and those uncles were unwilling, so they all broke up and refused to deal with their own family. Amma often chatters about this, regretting that he didn't stop it back then, otherwise now our family also has an arm. Now that the family has finally prospered, but you want to split up, isn't this clearly against his will? ”

Xingbao said: "You don't want to talk to a few elders." They are losers, they are incompetent, who can blame them? I asked myself about talent and martial arts, and I didn't lose to you, when I was in the army. It is also a promising future. If you hadn't offended people and caused me to lose my military position, my current grade would not be worse than yours! You don't have to put on a patriarchal look in front of me. If I hadn't used the silver to dredge it, I would have asked you a chance to go out with the army. Do you think you can be a second-class master? ”

Jin Bao was so angry that he trembled. Rong Bao said: "Second brother is too much. The eldest brother himself was promoted by virtue of his military merits, how does it sound like you bought the land back with silver? Jin Bao suppressed his anger and said: "The second brother is confused, I have worked hard to earn military merits, and my colleagues see it." Even if you want to deliberately belittle me, you should find a more credible reason. ”

Xingbao dusted off the dust on his clothes, sat on the chair and lifted Erlang's legs: "Whatever you say, I must split up anyway." I'm not greedy, except for the things in my house and the property in my name, the treasures and antiques at home, I only need forty percent, and I don't want much of the property. The twenty acres of land separated by the small river in the east of Baoding Zhuangzi belong to me, and the rest belong to you. Anyway, those lands were far away from the rest of the land, and there were a few houses. It's also convenient for me to cook. ”

The other three brothers gasped. The properties under the name of the second room are in addition to the five restaurants and teahouses. There are also a few shops and properties. It is the main source of finance for the Earls' Court; The 20 hectares of land on Baoding Zhuangzi only account for a quarter of the land. But it is the most fertile land. Xingbao, the lion, opened his mouth, if he really let him get his wish, most of the family wealth earned by the Earl's Court for many years would be buried in a blink of an eye.

Rong Bao made a straight face and said, "Second brother is too greedy, right?" The so-called property under the name of your second house is all purchased with the help of the family, and the people are also sent by the family, but they are just borrowing your name. Baoding Zhuangzi's fields are handed down from the ancestors, and the antiques are also shared by the whole family. ”

Xingbao glared: "Joke, why can't I divide it?" Most of the family business is the land I earned back, and only this idea is already on the ground of the flesh and blood brothers. You don't want to think about it, what kind of situation our family has fallen back then? When you get married, put up a wedding hall and fill the scene with a vase of my wife's wedding. In recent years, when Qingning Shunning got married, it was called a style! Without me, would the family be in such a situation? ”

He took a sip of tea and slowly calculated the accounts: "The annual daily expenses of the house, to say the least, will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if there is any major event, twenty or thirty thousand yuan will not be able to stop." The sum of our fathers, sons and brothers is only one thousand taels, how much silver is the filial piety of outsiders? As for the third child being an official outside, he squinted at Zhang Bao...... "That is, I have only sent a few thousand taels of silver back in recent years, what is enough?" If I hadn't supported it, the whole family would have to beg for food. Those antiques were bought by our family when they had money in recent years, and I was only forty percent of them, which is already very kind. As for the land, I have a share. I'm not like others, I hide and fold my money when I have it, and it's all generous and generous for others to see. Since we are going to split up, of course I can't be made to suffer. ”

Zhang Bao knew that he was talking about himself, and he didn't open his mouth. Jin Bao laughed angrily: "Since you say so, I will also settle an account for you." He paced slowly and reasonably, and said, "Of the expenses of the family, except for the public middle school, only your second room spends the most money." You socialize on weekdays, and your second siblings make clothes and jewelry, but you don't spend yourself. The third family has been away for a long time, and you don't need your money, and most of the money spent by the fourth daughter-in-law is her own dowry. The old man and the old lady will not talk about it, your sister-in-law and I have always been frugal, and when our two sons marry, we will pay seventy percent of the silver. I am afraid that half of the tens of thousands of taels of expenses you mentioned will fall on your family. He patted Zhang Bao's shoulder with a smile on his face: "You don't need to be sarcastic. He didn't hide it, and in the past few months, you haven't paid a tael of silver, and the family's expenses are supported by him with money. In order to save more money for everyone, the third brother and son never went out, and even the clothes they wore were made by the mother and daughter of the third brother and sister. But the third brother's family didn't say a word, this is a good brother. Rong Bao also nodded. Bao was stunned for a moment, but Zhang Bao said modestly: "My own brother, this is the way to go, why shout everywhere, for fear that others will not know?" ”

Xingbao blushed, snorted, and turned his head: "Are you brothers together?" So what else is there to say? Let me get out! ”

Jin Bao shook his hand and sat back in the right seat to drink tea.

Zhang Bao smiled and said meaningfully: "The second brother has indeed worked hard to support his family over the years, but if you don't have the help of your family, you won't be able to earn so much money." It's all a family, so don't go too far. Even if you're out there, you've really climbed some big backers. Can it be more reliable than your own flesh and blood? Leave a line in everything, see each other in the future, the second brother should think twice. ”

Xingbao's eyes flashed. looked at Zhang Bao carefully, and saw that he was just smiling and silent. After a long time, he smiled and said: "It seems that the third child has gone out to practice for the past few years, and he has gained a lot of knowledge." Well, for the sake of my own brothers, if I give way, I won't want the land. Antiques are only 30%, but I have to choose. This is already my bottom line, you can see it! ”

Jin Bao said with a dark face: "Impossible! You discouraged me from breaking up. If you are not satisfied, you can say it, and we will discuss it, but I will never let this family fall apart in my hands! ”

Xing Bao glared at him, Zhang Bao and Rong Bao glanced at each other, and each sighed. I'm the dividing line of women's play

The first confrontation between the brothers was over, and the battle between the concubines had just begun.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the concubines were there, Nala taught Suo Luo Clan a lesson: "The second brother is confused for a while. The second brother and sister should persuade him more, so that he can dispel his thoughts as soon as possible. Our family is still as harmonious and happy as in the past, and the family business can prosper, right? ”

Suo Xue Luo Pi said with a smile: "The words of the eldest sister-in-law are good. You are happy, how can you take us seriously? The eldest sister-in-law still persuades the eldest brother. Let him loosen his mouth sooner. Otherwise, it will be noisy all day long. How else do you get by? We're not here, and the three of you can be as happy as you like. Wouldn't it be better? ”

Nala said unhappily: "Since your eldest brother and I have taken over this family, we must maintain the dignity of the whole family. If we really let you divide it, what kind of face will we have to meet Ama Eniang in the future? This is not to be mentioned again. ”

Suo Xue Luo sneered: "It is worthy of being a sister-in-law, the truth is one by one, you really want to maintain the dignity of the whole family, why don't you discipline your son?" He made his concubine pregnant and miscarried in filial piety, and he also caused a fatality. It's really decent. ”

Shen was stunned for a moment and looked at Nala. Nala was calm: "Where did you hear this rumor?" If you are talking about Qiu Ju, she had a miscarriage at Amma's funeral, and she didn't get well for a few months, and she was tired of the old lady's affairs, so she died of a recurrence of her old illness. Although this thing is not very decent, there is no violation of etiquette, it is all the people below who have not taken care of it, and I have already punished it. ”

"I'm afraid it's just to seal up, right? It's a pity that people are still alive, there is no impermeable wall in the world, even if the sister-in-law sends people far away, there are always martial arts doctors in the world who can hear it. If it really goes to court, it's not a small crime. ”

"The second brother and sister are inappropriate, it's just that they don't take good care of their master, and they don't want people to die. What's more, that child and Lao Tzu Niang are all on an errand with me, I have watched her grow up since I was a child, although she is a little stupid, but she is also an honest child, she will never be coaxed to say a few words, just say something in front of people. ”

Suo Xue Luo choked, gritted his teeth, and smiled again: "Even if there is no little girl, there is still a doctor." The doctor always knows if the patient has a miscarriage or a recurrence of an old disease, right? ”

Nala sighed and said, "Second brother and sister, even if you want to catch my fault, you can't use this method. The doctor I know, and I often come to my house on weekdays. The medical skills are not bad, but unfortunately it is a good gamble, I heard that some time ago he owed a large amount of gambling debts, but a rich man helped him pay it back. Presumably the rich man is you, right? It's a family, so why deliberately bribe others to bear false witness? ”

Suo Xue Luo almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, but he didn't know what to say, looked at the Tong family and the Shen family, and saw that they just silently bowed their heads and drank tea, and their hearts were even more annoyed: "Okay, good, I planted it this time!" But don't be too complacent, I don't believe I can't find your handle! ”

She was about to lift her legs and leave, but she heard Nala speak: "Second brother and sister, don't say anything about the handle, it's really chilling for the family to say this kind of thing." Although the doctor failed to save Qiu Ju, he did something for our family for a few years, and the family helped him pay off a gambling debt, which is not out of line. Speaking of which, he is more accomplished than another doctor, do you remember the second brother and sister? In the past, Dr. Guan, who often came to the house, has never come to our house since he prescribed the wrong fetal medicine to Cuiying in your house, causing her to have a miscarriage. I heard that when he went back that day, the whole family suddenly disappeared, and the neighbors reported to the police. Haven't you heard of the second brother and sister? ”

Suo Xue Luo's face turned a little blue: "How do I know about this?" Maybe he knew he had hurt someone. I was afraid that our family would arrest him, so I fled, right? When did this go to the old emperor's calendar, and the eldest sister-in-law took it out and said, "Yes." It's indeed an old imperial calendar. It's just a doctor who treats his family, and his medical skills and reputation are almost the same. But each has its own circumstances, and the things in this world are really wonderful. Third siblings, fourth siblings, don't you say? ”

Tong smiled and agreed, but Shen lowered his head and said nothing.

Suo Xue Luo knew that he would not be able to please today. I had to restrain my temper a little and find an excuse to leave.

Nala watched her leave the figure, still smiling and pulling some parents with the two concubines, and after discussing the new clothes to be made in the autumn and the new tea varieties to be purchased, he said goodbye to the Tong family and the Shen family, and went to inspect all parts of the house.

Tong and Shen walked all the way back to the hospital, and halfway through, Shen suddenly said: "The second brother and the second sister-in-law want to split up the family, what do the third sister-in-law think?" Tong paused: "What can you think?" We're not going to divide it. I think it's only the second room making trouble. ”

Shen chuckled: "The people in the second room are all laymen, and they only know how to pursue some small profits and have been in business for a few years. It smells more and more coppery. They think too much about money, thinking that they can get ahead in Beijing with money. simply left his brother behind. I made my fortune, but I didn't know how deep the water in the capital was. If I were a big brother and sister-in-law. If they want to divide it, let them go, so that they will not cause trouble in the future, and they will trouble the house. I didn't bother to look at their faces. ”

Tong smiled, but he didn't think so: "How do you know that they have really climbed the big backer?" But it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse. ”

The two of them talked all the way, and when they reached the fork, they went back to their rooms.

The news of the separation of the second room soon spread throughout the Earl's Palace, and almost all the subordinates gossiped, and Wan Ning, who was forced by her mother to stay in the room to learn embroidery, also quickly learned the news. When she heard that Xingbao had offered to take all the business with her, she was upset. Since the old lady fell ill, the second room has stopped paying money to the family on the grounds of "bad business and poor turnover", and even the dividend silver that was promised to her has disappeared. She was already a little suspicious, and now she couldn't sit still. She took advantage of the Nala clan to go to the council of Rongqing Hall, and the caretaker's grandmother walked away again, and quietly slipped out of the room and went to the peach courtyard.

When I came to the main house of Taoyuan, it happened that Xingbao and Suo Xue Luo were there. Wan Ning greeted them with a smile, but found that they were a little cold, and Suo Xue Luo just copingly said: "I haven't seen the second girl for a long time, why are you so interested in coming to see us today?" But we have something to do, if you have nothing to do, just go shopping by yourself The two of them are obviously just chatting, Wan Ning had a bad premonition in her heart, so she asked straight to the point: "Actually, I heard that the second uncle and aunt are going to split up, so I came to ask." Is it true that you want to separate the restaurant, tea house and rouge shop that you have opened at home? ”

Suo Xue Luo smiled exaggeratedly: "The second girl is not confused, right? The rouge shop is my private house to open the land, and it is my thing, as for those restaurants and teahouses, it has always been your second uncle who takes care of the land, and of course it is also ours. If you want to separate the family, of course, you have to take everything with you, what stupid thing do you ask? Xingbao also smiled, with a hint of mockery.

Wan Ning's face changed suddenly: "How can the second aunt say that?" I have a share in all these businesses, and you will take them away without saying a word, so what should I do? ”

Xingbao shook his head and sighed: "Wanning, it's not that the second uncle said you, you are also a smart child, how could you say such stupid things?" Do you have a share? Did you pay for it, or did you take care of it yourself? Have you ever done a good job, cooked a meal, ran a sale, or greeted a customer? You haven't done anything, how can you say you have a share in those businesses? In the past, it was because the old lady loved you and asked us to give you a share of silver, but we didn't care about you for her old man's sake, but you can't think that we will give you a share of the family property because of this, right? It's not like I don't have children, so why should I give money to my niece? ”

Suo Xue Luo smirked and glanced at Wan Ning mockingly.

Wan Ning gritted her teeth and said: "At the beginning, the second uncle and aunt were in business, but I came up with the idea, the decoration of the teahouse restaurant, the wine and food, the books mentioned, as well as the things sold in the rouge shop and the makeup skills, all of which I came up with. How can you erase all my credit?! ”

"We know that, although the book is a bit inappropriate, you do have a lot of good ideas. The second uncle and aunt also accepted your affection and gave you a lot of silver and valuable gadgets, you can't say no. However, then those ideas were outdated, and the second uncle and aunt finally came up with a new way, and now those businesses are so prosperous, all of which are our own credit, but I don't rely on you at all. Xingbao opened the folding fan and shook it gently, "Since you haven't contributed, you will naturally have no pay." If you have a good idea in the future, the second uncle will naturally not treat you badly. However, if you just come up with a few ideas, you think that you have a share of those businesses, it is too cost-effective. If there is such a cheap thing in the world, you tell the second uncle and let the second uncle also get some benefits? ”

Wan Ning naturally heard the sarcasm in his words, and couldn't help but feel betrayed by the closest and trusted person, and couldn't help but vent her anger: "You are going to swallow my property?!" Don't! Don't forget, several brothers and sisters of the Chen family are my people, and the guys in several shops are personally selected by me, and I am the one who can speak among them. If I tell them to strike, see how you do business and make money!" ”

In the past, she had always been used to talking to these two elders, and she didn't pay much attention to her tone at the moment, but she annoyed Suo Yuluo: "How can a niece and daughter talk to an uncle and aunt like this?" What a tutor! Your mother just cares about some garlic skin every day, so she doesn't have the time to discipline her daughter well? None of us four girls would be so rude! ”

Wan Ning didn't expect them to turn their faces when they said that they would turn their faces, and the whole person was stunned. Xingbao tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "I don't know where the flowers are going, and I don't even learn the rules." When did you pick a guy? Chen brothers and sisters, you haven't seen each other for more than half a year, right? Do you know how they're doing? You think someone will pay attention to you? Joke! ”

Suo Yuluo even snickered and said, "Second niece, my aunt advises you to learn more talents when you have time, so that you can please your husband in the future." You should be less involved in these money-making things, this is not something that the girl's family should take care of. ”

Wan Ning only felt ashamed and angry, and she really wanted to cut the couple who betrayed her with a thousand knives, and ran away as soon as she turned around. I only heard Suo Xue Luo still laughing behind: "Look, I really don't understand the rules at all, my sister-in-law is really a good tutor." ”
