Chapter 453: Separation (4)

In Furui Hall, Chen Yan finally finished reading the long list. Rao is full of physical strength, but after reading such a long thing, after retreating, he had to drink a large glass of water to moisten his throat. He only drank water, but his eyes did not relax. Out of the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced at everyone present, especially the third uncle Chen Ying. Seeing that his eyelids were lowered, but his sitting posture was not as calm and relaxed as before, he laughed in his heart. He casually put down the cup in his hand.

"I've just finished reading the list. I think you have a number in your heart. …”

Zhu picked up the conversation again, and said unhurriedly: "From the time when the old marquis was alive until now, this marquis mansion has been managed by me, and these accounts are also made by the people under my hands. Those details are all in the tent, and whoever wants to review them when they turn back "just take them." As for my original dowry, there are still a few old people left who have come to see the scene when I entered the mansion, and I should know the details of it. Therefore, how much of these makeup dowries are left now, and who I want to give them to, is my own business, and I think it has nothing to do with public property. Just now, I invited four old pilgrims from the most famous Fuyuan pawnshop in the capital, although the time is too short to estimate in detail, but the approximate number is still only. ””

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Shi saw that some of the people present exchanged glances, and some whispered, she didn't know that most of these people were human spirits, just listening to the list just now, maybe she already had a number in her heart, so at this moment, the smile on her face was actually deeper, and she stood up steadily with a cane.

"The Yangning Marquis Mansion has been inherited so far, and it is already the seventh generation. This division of production has always been a rule, attacking the Yang Ninghou, in charge of the ancestral hall, the sacrificial field, the imperial gift of Zhuang Tian and the public property in the clan, in addition to the sacrificial field, Zhuang Tian still has three sizes, a total of 20 hectares. There are 12 shops in Beijing and Nanjing, in addition to all kinds of gold and silver wine vessels and sacrificial vessels in the Yangning Marquis Mansion and the warehouse, and the royal calligraphy and paintings, etc., are naturally inseparable, and they are all in charge of the third child. It all adds up. It's about worth more than 100,000 taels of silver......

At this moment, the huge Furui Hall was neutral and coughed one after another. I don't know if it's because of the time, or if the old illness is not getting better, or if I choke on a mouthful of water. Among these voices, the young King Jin was the one who was choked by the water the most, and the little eunuch standing on the side was busy serving Shunqi there, but the continuous coughing sound couldn't be stopped. So much so that in the east room separated by a wall, Princess An couldn't help laughing.

"Oops. There are so many wealthy families in the capital, but there are only empty shelves left, and there are even Zhuang Tian who give others money to put in the seal, I can't imagine that Mrs. Yangning Hou is so good at business, Yangning Hou is really a good blessing......

Chen Lan, who was snuggling with the eldest princess of Anguo, had a calm expression, but the Korean duchess Chen and Mrs. Ma on the side looked quite ugly. Chen thought that his mother had worked hard all her life to take care of this Hou Mansion, and now she was making a wedding dress for others, and she was very angry at this behavior; And Mrs. Ma thought that these things should have been her own, and she almost bit her silver teeth, hated the Zhu family's refusal to give up power and split the family in the past, and hated Chen Ying for being despicable and cunning, and took the throne from her husband. It's just that these two people have been through the sea for a long time, but there are people over there who can't bear it.

"It's all public property. Why are they all in the third room to enjoy? ……

As soon as Chen Bing's words fell, among the coughs outside, Zhu's weighty voice finally sounded again: "Of course, although these farms and public properties are in the hands of the third child, according to the usual practice, the long house and the second room have a due bonus every year. In addition, "the remaining silver on the books, as well as the farms that have been added and divided over the years, and the shops that have been rented out to others, large and small, are counted separately." Rough numbers in the tent. It is 600 acres of mop per room, and two shops. Four thousand taels of silver. Among them, the shop and silver are easy to do, but the land has to be carefully divided" plus those gold and silver tables, there are about one or two thousand, and there is a clear number in the tent, I just say it......

Zhu said a lot in one breath, and when she saw Chen Yan holding the tea with a smile, she took it and took a sip, so she took it and supported Chen Yan. His eyes swept over everyone's faces again: "I've said almost everything I need to say, and the rest is just a few words from my heart." I got married in my teens, and I have been working hard for many years, and now I am sick, and I really don't want to pay attention to those messy family affairs. Therefore, after this separation, my wife and son also went out of the house with their grandson to rest and recuperate......

Received the invitation, such as Mrs. Nanyang Hou Mrs. Ying Guo and so on, and Zhu are about the same age, I thought that this old lady was unwilling to split the family, hiding the family wealth not to say, maybe in the end will be a handful of snot and tears dragged crying to complain that the concubine is not filial piety and oppression of the mother-in-law, and now for this unexpected scene, and listen to Zhu's speech clearly, spirited, so he sat out of appreciation and admiration.

Therefore, in the east house, Mrs. Ying Guo was the first to stand up and go out like this: "The old sister is so open-minded, we can't compare, I really admire it." I think it's very fair, not to mention that it is placed in the Yangning Hou Mansion, even in the house of a slightly more solid family in the entire capital, and there is no such thing as a separate family on the table! After today, if anyone dares to say bad things about the old sister, I will be the first to smack him! …”

The Duchess of the Kingdom, who was also full of gray hair, got up, and several old men went out at the moment, and the meaning of what they said was almost the same. In this way, many dignitaries and dignitaries who still plan to observe the style outside naturally expressed their respect for the Zhu family one by one and the transparency of the Yangning Marquis Mansion...... Of course, some people tactfully complimented Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, to the effect that this mother-in-law who had lost so much was so fair.

So, after a while, there were more than half fewer people in the east room, and even Mrs. Ma, who was originally full of gloom, pulled Chen Bing out of the house. Chen Lan caught a glimpse of Chen Yunwen not moving, just sitting there drinking tea, so she gently pulled the eldest princess of the country and said, "Mother, the first four sisters have a good word." ...... exactly. ……。 ”。

"A woman who wants to be born without a background or a background without a background, and who is not too young, even if she is a little beautiful, how can someone like King Jin be easily looked at? Princess An Guo smiled slightly. Only then did he continue the unfinished topic on the sedan chair in a low voice, "If it is from my point of view, there are only two things that others can look at Su Yi." Guess what the two? …”

Chen Lan almost didn't think about it and smiled bitterly: "Does my mother want to say that the head is the same, it is his pedantic nerd, the second ...... He is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Yangning? …”

"I know that this girl can see it!" ”

Although he was praised, Chen Lan didn't feel any joy at all. Earlier, Mrs. Su Chen took the jade pendant to propose, if it didn't coincide with the turbulent time of the Yangning Marquis Mansion, the Zhu family would rather have less than more, even if it was a concubine like Chen Yun, she would definitely not be so easy to marry out Now it seems that this marriage is really wronged by Chen Yun. However, the marriage, which seemed to be sent away in a hurry at that time, now seems to have become a big problem. Knowing this, she thought that she should have thought more far-reaching and persuaded the Zhu family more tactfully.

Therefore, those voices outside are not in her attention at this moment. And the eldest princess of Anguo naturally doesn't care about the sounds that are not so much compliments as sycophants. So, when the chaotic sounds outside suddenly stopped, followed by a strange silence, she did not feel that her brow was very fast, and she saw that the people who had just gone out had all entered.

"What's going on out there? ……

The resentment on Mrs. Ma's face was gone, replaced by a subtle eccentricity. Hearing this, seeing that the Duchess Ying Guo and the others seemed to be a little hesitant, she stepped forward and explained: "Eldest princess, it was the official of Shuntian Mansion who brought someone here." The person was stopped by Brother Han in the third room, but the matter was not small, and he had to come in in person to tell him......

The eldest princess of Anguo frowned slightly when she heard this, and then remembered that a few days ago, the Marquis of Yangning's mansion heard that someone had died, but first, she reported that she had committed suicide, and secondly, there was no bitter master, etc., so the people under her hands naturally ignored it, and now how could this suddenly make a fuss? She instinctively glanced sideways at Chen Lan next to her, and when she saw him nodding slightly to herself, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart.

"Shuntianfu, this is eating the bear's heart and leopard gall? If you want to say that they are the most difficult people in the capital, even if they are only able to gallop on the road and knock down people, they may also involve a wealthy family, not to mention that because someone sued the Yangning Marquis Mansion and came here to find fault? Speaking of this, the eldest princess of An Guo suddenly stopped talking. At that moment, she suddenly thought of something that she had almost forgotten. The magistrate in charge of the criminal name of the Shuncheon Mansion "seems to have just changed." And the predecessor who replaced the old criminal name for many years was Su Yi, whom she had just mentioned to Chen Lan.

Faced with the question of the eldest princess of Anguo, Mrs. Ma glanced at Chen Lan quietly. Seeing that although she sat up straight, she still seemed to be careless, so she said in an accentuated tone: "What the eldest princess said is that I also heard Brother Yan say that I knew that the guy who was out of tune was actually my fourth aunt......

In an instant, only a bang was heard. Chen Yun on the side knocked over the tea cup on the side. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, some were suspicious, and some were pitiful. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others gloated, she only felt that her heart was mixed, and she couldn't even care about the debris and tea soup on the ground! ~!
