Chapter 58
Qi Shi took Ye Chengxun's hand and cried with a whimper, and Ye Fu and Ye Zhi also wiped their tears on the side. After Qi cried, Ye Chengxun comforted them a few words, asked them to stand away, and called Ye Ji over alone.
Ye Chenghun stared at Ye Ji, this is his only son, and he must not have an accident again, "Brother Ji'er, what your father taught you before was wrong, you must not do anything to get ahead, and don't think about avenging your father, just live a peaceful life." Study hard, and in the future, you will be famous, and you will be a father with a smile. "Even if the eldest brother is idle at home, he is still a napping tiger, and he must not be provoked. What's more, there is also Ye Li, the righteous prince of the Hou Mansion, and now he has been admitted to the martial arts champion and awarded the general Zhaoyong of the third grade. And that Ye Qian, who somehow fell into the eyes of King Yu at a young age, is simply the tip of King Yu's heart.
"Father! My son is not filial, and he can't save you. Ye Ji looked at his father with tears in his eyes, sad and desperate.
Ye Chenghun shook his head, "You just have this heart, don't try to save me, I can't get out." He has already recognized the reality, and he is already very satisfied to see his family today.
A few days later, Ye Chengxun asked to be beheaded, because he had to deal with his funeral, the Qi family was released from the small courtyard.
That night, the old lady also swallowed her breath.
Everyone in the house was not surprised, the old lady was already skinny, and she was hanging with just one breath, and as soon as Ye Chenghun asked, her breath was gone.
Because of the preparations, even if two people died at the same time, everything in the house was still carried out in an orderly manner.
The most heartbreaking thing is Ye Chengshu. As soon as the old lady died, he had to keep filial piety for three years, and Ding Wei couldn't be an official at home, so he could only return to officialdom after three years. At this time, it is the time for King Rui to employ people, but he can't serve, if the overall situation is decided in three years, who will remember him, he can't earn this from the dragon's work. The only consolation is that his father-in-law is still by King Rui's side, and with his father-in-law in the future, he will be able to enter the court smoothly.
As for Ji Pinghou, he had already resigned and was at home, and there was no need to worry about Ding Wei. And Ye Li is a military general, and the military general has no worries, only a hundred days of vacation, and he still has to return to his original position after that.
Ji Pinghou and the prince Ye Li, as well as the third lord Ye Chengshu entertained the guests who came to mourn in the front yard, Meng Shi was not worried that Ye Qian would deal with such a big matter alone, so he had to have a big belly and arrange the affairs of the inner courtyard with Ye Qian, and the Qi family and the Mei family received the female relatives who came together.
Mei looked at Meng's big belly enviously, Meng was about to give birth, but she had worked hard until now, but she still didn't get pregnant. She looked at the Qi family sympathetically, although she didn't have children, but fortunately, her master was still by her side safely, which was better than her second sister-in-law, and she became a widow.
After the funeral of the old lady and Ye Chengxun was completed, and after a three-day rest, Jiping invited the patriarch and several clan elders to come over and preside over the family separation. The old lady is gone, and the separation has become a natural thing.
For the separation, there is no objection to the second room.
The Qi family has a charge of poisoning Mrs. Hou, and if she stays in the Hou Mansion, she will continue to be locked up, but there are four brothers and sisters in the second room, and she can't be fatherless and motherless, she naturally hopes to split the family, and it will be better to be the master of the house when the time comes.
Ye Ji also hopes to split the family, Hou Ye already knows what his father did, even if he doesn't attack a few of them, he is also afraid to stay in the Hou Mansion every day, for fear that Hou Ye will be unhappy one day, and he will take a few of them.
Ye Fu and Yeats looked at their mother and brother, and since their mother and brother were willing to separate, they had nothing to say. Ye Rong is also very satisfied, since Ji Ping came back, and her father had an accident, she felt that she was a head lower than Ye Qian everywhere, separated the family, left the Hou Mansion and left Ye Qian, and her mother was back in charge of the feed, and her life was better again.
The third old man, Ye Chengshu, doesn't care, anyway, the eldest brother is also idle at home, and he can't help himself, his biggest hope is still with his father-in-law, as long as he coaxes the Mei family.
The one who doesn't want to be separated the most is Mei's. It has been more than ten years since she married into the Hou Mansion, and for so many years, she has only managed to work with Ye Chengshu, and has never had to take care of the chores in the mansion, and her life has been very leisurely. After the family is separated, she is the hostess of the house, and the middle feed in the family can only be in charge of herself. When she thought of fighting with the housekeepers every day, dealing with trivial matters, and reading accounts and coordinating affairs everywhere, her head was big.
In terms of the division of property, everyone is quite familiar with current affairs, and there is no noise or noise.
The patriarch divided the cash according to the convention, and there were two ready-made houses in the house, and on other streets, the two and three rooms were worth the cash if they wanted, and if they were not willing to do so, they would divide the house with other Zhuangzi and shops.
The two bedrooms and three bedrooms each chose a house, no matter whether it was good or not, there was always a place to stay, otherwise you had to buy a house now. If you are really not satisfied, you can slowly choose a new house in the future, and then sell it when you have a place to live. The third room picked a small one, the second room had many people, and the big one was picked up, all of which were worth the cash silver.
As for the servants in the house, who are willing to go with the second and third rooms, the Meng family said that they can give the deed to the Qi family and the Mei family, and they don't want silver.
After a whole day of estimating the price and drawing lots to distribute, the family was finally divided, and finally a formal division was made, and the second and third rooms were to move out of the Hou Mansion in half a month. Originally, according to common sense, it was a month, but at that time, it was too close to Meng's delivery date, Ji Pinghou was not worried that these people would stay at home, and he wanted to send them away as soon as possible, besides, the house was ready-made, and they only needed to move over, so they were only given half a month.
The second and third rooms were busy, and they had to go to the new house to see what was going on, to buy new servants, to tidy up the things here, and to hire a carriage to pull them over.
The Qi clan has been in charge of Zhongfeng for many years, and these things are not difficult for her. Mei's has a headache, she has never dealt with these things, she doesn't know where to start at first glance, the third old man Ye Chengshu has no choice but to help her, fortunately he is worried at home, otherwise this home will not be able to move smoothly.
Half a month later, the Hou Mansion was finally clean.
During this time, King Yu was not idle. Since he discussed with his father-in-law that he wanted to kill the Qingyun Daoist through Ye Chengxun and get rid of this fierce rival in his previous life, he felt that he should introduce the Qingxu Daoist to the emperor in his previous life in advance, so that the prince would not know where to get individual Taoist priests.
King Yu found the Qingxu Daoist in June. This Qingxu is good at alchemy, and the effect of the pill is better than Qingyun's, otherwise he would not have fought against Qingyun in his previous life, but unfortunately he didn't have Qingyun's ability to "call the wind and call the rain", so he has not been able to compare Qingyun.
King Yu's jade-like fingers lightly tapped twice on the table, it doesn't matter, even if you can't predict the heavenly phase, Qingxu can also predict something else, with him, a reborn person, you can make Qingxu announce a major prophecy every year, and this prophecy can still be true.
The point is that in this life, he does not plan to introduce Qingxu himself. If he introduced Qingxu to his father, the crown prince would definitely find someone else to fight against Qingxu. It's better to let the prince introduce Qingxu to his father, in this way, the prince thinks that Qingxu is his person, and he must maintain Qingxu everywhere, but Qingxu is actually doing things for himself, isn't it wonderful?
In August, Yunyan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing came down a Taoist chief, known as Qingxu, this person has white hair, a fairy wind bones, said that a month later, several villages under Yunyan Mountain will be attacked by strange winds, if you do not strengthen the house at this time, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Everyone originally thought that he was a master of Taoism, but when they heard this, they all thought that he was crazy, and there would be a strange wind in a month? What nonsense, they have lived here for generations, and they have never heard of any strange wind!
Even if no one is willing to believe it, Qingxu is unwilling to leave, and persuades everyone to strengthen the house every day, if the house is too broken, then simply leave to save his life. However, no matter how much he advised, no one paid any attention to it.
Under the arrangement of King Yu, the prince learned about this matter "accidentally", and others told it to him as a joke, but the prince paid attention. When he first introduced Qingyun, he didn't just find a Taoist priest and send it to his father, but he saw Qingyun's ability to "call the wind and call the rain" with his own eyes.
Qingyun was accidentally killed by Ye Chengxun, and the prince has been looking for a new Taoist. The emperor likes beauties, but after all, he is getting older, and some things are gradually feeling powerless, so he has a great interest in pills. If the prince wants to do what he likes, he must find a Taoist with real skills as soon as possible, you know, there is more than one prince, and when King Rui introduces the Taoist to his father and gets the trust of his father, it will be difficult for him to intervene sideways.
The prince immediately sent someone to Yunyan Mountain, and inquired about the appearance, words and deeds of the Qingxu Daoist, and as soon as he heard that "the beard and hair are all white, and the fairy wind is bone", the prince was very satisfied. The person who wants to be introduced to his father, even if he has the true way, he can't look obscene, and this pure appearance is at least passable.
The prince originally planned to wait a month to see if the strange wind of Qingxu came, but some staff suggested that he intervene in the matter now. The villagers of those villages did not believe in Qingxu, if Qingxu's prophecy was true, then the village would suffer heavy losses, not to mention that no one sang praises to Qingxu, that is, the prince knew about it in advance but did not take any measures, and it was easy to be attacked for not loving the people enough.
The staff suggested that the prince help the villagers strengthen the house, but not with much fanfare, so that if there is really a strange wind, Qingxu is everyone's life-saving benefactor, and at this time, it will be introduced to the emperor, which will be more confident, and the prince can also get a good reputation. As for what to do if Qingxu is crazy talk, anyway, the prince helps the villagers quietly, as long as it is not under the banner of the prince, no one will know. When there is really a strange wind, tell the villagers that the prince helped them.
When the prince heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately sent people to Yunyan Mountain, first, to help the villagers strengthen their houses, and secondly, to invite the Qingxu Taoist to come and talk about it.
As soon as Qingxu saw someone helping, he happily went to the appointment.
As soon as the prince saw Qingxu, he was very satisfied, not to mention whether he had real skills or not, just this appearance was convincing.
