The Yangning Hou Mansion is going to be separated!

When the news spread in the streets and alleys inside and outside the court, the news that Yang Ninghou had promised Xiangyang Bo that he was going to the nunnery to retreat suddenly became a blur. Gao Tang is not divided into families, this is the rule of the wealthy families in the capital, even if the parents have a preference, or it is inconvenient to live together when they are old, most of them are to build a high wall partition in the mansion, and open an extra door outside, but it is still common, so it is better to listen outside.

But the Yangning Marquis Mansion was unwilling to follow the convention, and Mrs. Zhu not only invited several virtuous and respected noblewomen, but also acquaintances and juniors, as if this was not an act of breaking the rules, but a good event. For a time, although there were many people in Nahan, the unpleasant words were limited to whispering.

Compared with the fanfare of the Zhu family, Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, seems to be much more low-key. As if the separation of the family in front of him was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning, he had neither visited friends nor invited relatives and friends, except for visiting the military department Shangshu and several corresponding elders on official business, it was also a superfluous word. The officials who had had many dealings with him in the past saw that there were many wrinkles on his face, but the more calm he looked, some were puzzled, some were emotional, some were admired, and some were contemptuous.

On November 2, the Furui Hall of the Yangning Marquis Mansion for the imperial treasure given by Emperor Taizong was finally opened. Invited guests rushed in. Looking at this main hall with a history of more than 100 years, the people who are also the founding fathers are all emotional, and the people who have risen in recent years are thinking about the heritage of the century-old Hou Mansion. If you sit down one by one, people's faces will naturally have a little more solemnity.

Compared with Chen Yan, who represents the long room, and Chen Ying, who represents the third room, Chen Jiu, who represents the third room, is naturally extremely inconspicuous. Although he once attacked the Marquis of Yangning, and also occupied a place in the court full of people, but in today's large number of people, although he also has a seat as a loser, although he will definitely get a share of the property at that time, the focus of those eyes is by no means him, not because he has no children, but because his titles and official positions have been completely lost over the years.

Only at this moment, Chen Jiu didn't care about the mood of being ignored by others at all. He had been recuperating from his injuries for two years, and then he began to spend his days drinking again, and in recent days he had been fooling around outside, and he had just been dragged out of a brothel by the anxious Mrs. Ma this morning, so he was unprepared for the separation. Although he wanted to stand up and flatter the Zhu family in front of the Zhu family, there were those dignitaries everywhere, and there were several top old men sitting in the back hall behind the curtain, even if his butt was numb, he didn't dare to move easily.

"Second uncle."

"Ah, Brother Yan." Chen Jiu was shocked to come over, and saw that Chen Yan didn't know when he appeared beside him, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately changed his face to a smile, "Is the old lady having something to say to me?" ”

Chen Yan is now extremely tall, not to mention that Chen Jiu is sitting and standing, so his lowered gaze seems a little condescending, but in the eyes of others, he is still respectful. He looked at this second uncle who could still see a bit of majesty when he was the Marquis of Yangning in the past, but now he has completely lost those decent second uncles, and breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

"After the proposal to separate the family was proposed, the second uncle was not at home all the time, and the old lady asked me to ventilate the second uncle for some things."

Seeing that Chen Jiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded repeatedly, Chen Yanfang continued: "The property of the princess, there have always been accounts in the tent of the Hou Mansion, and those imperial fields and sacrificial fields are all under the control of the first house of the Emperor, and these second uncles are just waiting for the end of the year to get dividends." In addition, there are 10,000 taels of silver on the books, and there are a total of six shops in the capital and Tongzhou, and 18 acres of Zhuangtian, all of which are divided equally among the three rooms, which is the case. ”

"That old lady ......" Chen Jiu opened his mouth, but when he met Chen Yan's sudden turning gaze, the second half of his words were held back. He thought of the Zhu family's methods, thought of the powerful people behind Chen Yan, and then thought of the property that was evenly divided between the three rooms, and he quickly came up with a rough figure.

The things that are distributed to his head should have 600 acres of land, two shops, and 3,000 taels of silver, all of which are folded off, and must be about 20,000 or 30,000 pieces of silver! Even if he once attacked Yangninghou, what he could use was the public school expenses of two hundred taels per month, and his wife's dowry was a little smoother, and he didn't bother to look at that face. After thinking about it, he finally took a deep breath and completely left Mrs. Ma's instructions to get up behind. Anyway, it's better to have money in your hands than to look at people's faces!

"Brother Yan, you go back to the old lady, just say it, but I have no objection to her disposal."

Chen Yan nodded slightly, walked around the side without saying a word, and when he got to Zhu's side, he bent down and said softly: "Old lady, there is no problem with the second uncle." ”

"If you want to come to him, you won't think so much about it. He can't fight the third child, and even you, who is small, can't be sure that he can be pressed now, of course, he wants to talk about it now. Besides, he hasn't raised one until now, I'm afraid that he wants to squander all this before going into the coffin! ”

Zhu's mouth burst out with such mean words, seeing that the time was almost up, and everyone who should have come had come, she motioned for Chen Yan to help herself up, and actually stood up steadily, and bowed to everyone around her. The room was full of people, except for a few who were her peers, and the rest were juniors, so they all stood up and were polite.

However, just as Zhu was about to speak, two announcements suddenly came from outside.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived!"

"South Korea has arrived!"

Even the Korean Duchess Chen was present at this time, and she was still shocked when she heard the two announcements. After the pain of mourning, she was already disheartened, and Mrs. Yin added another grandson to her, and she walked less in the circle of noblewomen, until her husband did not take over the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, but he still held the power of the old battalion, and she gradually began to move around again, but she was much more cautious than before. As for King Jin, since the death of NV, although there are gifts during the New Year's holidays, I can vaguely guess the hidden story behind NV'er's early death, where will she still regard this as her own NV son-in-law?

If it was only the Korean public, because it was the nv son-in-law of the Zhu family, all the guests in the hall would not have to go out to greet them, but at this time, the king of Jin also came together, and everyone had to get up one after another. When I got out of Furui Hall, I saw that there were many relatives over there who surrounded the two people in front and behind and entered the ceremony. The King of Jin in front of him was wearing a sable fur, but inside it was just a plain lotus green sè coat, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and an amiable expression, as if he was still talking to the Korean Gong Zhang Ming, who was half a step behind. However, Han Gong Zhang Ming seemed to have just returned from the camp outside the city, wearing a reddish-brown jacket, the corners of his eyes and mouth were already wrinkled, and he looked much older than before.

Seeing that the King of Jin arrived in front of him, the Zhu family saluted with Chen Yan's support: "The trivial matters at home have actually worked for His Royal Highness, I am really afraid!" ”

"Mrs. Tai is serious, and she reasoned, I am also your junior, and I happened to enter the palace today to meet the Korean Duke, so I mentioned to my father that I wanted to come to the Hou Mansion to have a look, and even my father said that I should come to take a look, and I also instructed the Korean Duke to go with me."

Everyone understood that the King of Jin and the Korean Duke came here, and they still got the holy will, so after you looked at me, many people took a look at Chen Ying, the Marquis of Ningyang, and saw that his face did not move, and many people admired Chen Ying's qi cultivation kung fu for a while. Only a few knew that the relationship between King Jin and Zhang Chen was not what it used to be, but they muttered in their hearts. However, no matter what everyone thought, after welcoming the two distinguished guests, Furui Hall inevitably had to reseat again.

In the three east rooms of Furui Hall, all the people sitting at this time were all nv dependents, and they all went out to greet them together just now, and at this time, through the curtain, the movement outside was also transmitted. All the Chen family members gathered together, and the married Chen Bing and Chen Yun came back, although they are sisters, but now one is white, and the other is a Liupin'an person, even if they are still sitting according to their elders and children, they don't care about each other. And Mrs. Ma's mind was all outside, and after waiting and waiting for it to start, she couldn't help but have nothing to say.

"On weekdays, the old lady hurts the three girls so much, and she can't take such a big thing today!"

"The third sister has mobility problems, and she is helpless if she doesn't come today."

Chen Yun answered, and saw Mrs. Ma looking at her viciously, so she turned her eyes away to look at Aunt Luo casually: "It's Auntie, the matter of the fifth sister is ......."

"Today, don't talk about her." Aunt Luo was already absent-minded, but at this time, she was gently pushed by the second young nn Xu Yong, and when she reacted, she hurriedly smiled as if she was covering up, "There are so many people here to witness today, and it is not a big deal whether the third aunt nn comes or not." ”

"That's not what I said." If you want to say that she hates it, Mrs. Ma, who has lost the name of Mrs. Marquis of Yangning, hates the third room, and still hates Chen Lan's sister and brother, at this time, she can't help but laugh, "This Mrs. is still there, and the family is divided into three rooms, this is still very rare since the dynasty, and our Hou Mansion is going to be famous this time." ”

"If the second aunt doesn't want to split up, I haven't persuaded the old lady." Xu Yong, who had been silent, suddenly said lightly, and when she saw that Mrs. Ma's face immediately turned purple, she said unhurriedly, "Whether it's my father or aunt, my father-in-law and my fifth brother, etc., but I have tried hard to persuade the old lady." ”

"Hmph...... You're ......."

Before Mrs. Ma finished speaking, she only heard two more announcements from outside.

"Yuanfu Song is here!"

"The eldest princess of Anguo has arrived, and Mrs. Yang has arrived!"
