Chapter 606: Family Matters (II) (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
In this era, anyone is most afraid and most afraid of this, the so-called killing is not enough, and expelling from the house, not allowed to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, under the social system of the Chinese nation, this is a punishment that is more sad than death, not only in the society is being looked down upon, but even spurned by people. Under normal circumstances, such a decision will only be made after the crime is so heinous that the elders are heartbroken that they are summed up by the clan.
Our Fang family is also a big family in the Tang Dynasty, and if the Qinghe Fang family, which is a filial heirloom, is expelled from the house and cannot recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, they can only hide their names and flee to other places, and they may be able to make a living.
Well, I remembered another thing, my mother's family is even more prominent, Fan Yang and the Lu family have heard of it, right? My mother is the daughter of the sister of the current head of the Lu family, that is, the niece. The relationship between the mother and the Lu family is very close, but this does not affect the old man's position as the first assistant in the court, after all, my father's talent is here, although Uncle Li wants to suppress the seven families in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Taiyuan Wang, Xingyang Zheng, Fan Yang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, Zhaojun Li, Longxi Li? Well, it's wrong, it's a blow to the six great families, and his Uncle Li is from the Li family in Longxi, so he can't pinch himself.
But after all, the strength of these great families is not only in the court, but also in the prestige of the people, so Uncle Li can only deal with it little by little, after all, the country of the Tang Dynasty cannot be turbulent because of this matter, which is not what he wants to see.
The old man's threat was so resolute that my eldest brother and I glanced at each other, and both said respectfully, "I would like to listen to my father's teachings." "The third child has just turned seven years old, but under the old man's gaze, this child is also obedient and obedient to the old man with us. The mother happily picked up the little guy, and the third child looked at the old man in his mother's arms, and it could be seen that at his current age, he could only know some rough meanings, but this is fine, after all, he is also a man of the Fang family, and attending this kind of meeting a day earlier is of great benefit to his growth.
---------------------------------------------------- old man poured beans into the bamboo tube and said it like a mouthful, which really surprised me, the Fang family's industry is not small, the family's village, as well as Chang'an, Luoyang and Jinyang's restaurants, in addition to some shops, in addition to a number of workshops, add up, the monthly income is about thousands of yuan, originally there was only one restaurant, However, because of my invention and creation, coupled with the exclusive supply of steamed wine, and the advertising support of the newspaper controlled by Ben Gongzi, a semicolon has now been opened outside Chang'an, and the income is getting better and better day by day.
"The village, the cement workshop, the lime workshop, the restaurant, the shop and this Guogong Mansion, after the future, are all your eldest brother's, no one is allowed to fight about this, he is the eldest son of the old man, your elder brother, according to my Tang law, the eldest son, the stepfather, most of the wealth of the family is given...... And the steaming wine mill, the printing house, the paper mill, since your mother has talked to you earlier, it will be divided equally by your brothers according to your mother's, and the 30,000 acres of land in Liaodong that we newly purchased, the same, one for each person, as for the third child is still young, his share, we will collect it for him. He will give it to him when he becomes an adult, if he doesn't have a chance, hmph, the old man would rather let this kid go to the street to ask for food than give him a son. ”
The old man said cruelly, and his mother couldn't talk much, but she glared at the old man with some resentment, and hugged the third child tightly. A little distressed whispered: "San Lang, did you hear your father's words, but you have to do a good job, otherwise, don't say that your mother and father don't love you." ”
Although the third child didn't quite understand, he still knew what it meant, and nodded vigorously: "Daddy, don't worry, the child must learn from the second brother." ”
"This kid, why do you learn from your second brother." The mother stretched out her finger and poked his head, and the little guy said proudly: "Because the second brother can go to war!" He's a great general. As soon as these words came out, the old man was happy, and pinched the third child's face: "This kid, when he was young, he poured out of the same mold as your second brother, if he was the same as your brother back then, the old man would have to smash your ass!" ”
"Here we go again! How old is the baby, I didn't hear it in the whole sentence, San'er is not afraid of your father, he just screams fiercely. The mother slapped the old man and regained her momentum. The old man laughed and took a sip of tea, his old man rarely competed with his mother in person.
"......" I looked at the third child, speechless, I don't know how many meals I have cleaned up, but this little guy is sticky to me, I really have a headache, forget it, anyway, this little guy is my brother, what do you love, anyway, I did something wrong, I, the brother, will let him know what is right and wrong.
The old man then continued: "As for the glass workshop, it is an industry that Erlangli later figured out by himself, and it belongs to you, so don't say anything more." In the future, everything you come out of will belong to you, and you are not allowed to give your eldest brother and third brother, if they have the ability, they can find money by themselves, anyway, with so much savings in the family, even if they are stable and rich, it is okay. In addition, the old man has discussed with your mother, and the nearly one million yuan of family wealth at home ......"
I hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said: "Father, I can't ask for any more money in the family, you can also leave some for the second sister and the eldest sister, and your second elder still needs to provide for the elderly!" ”
My mother slapped me and said, "This child, millions of dollars, how much can my mother spend with your father to support the elderly, your eldest sister has already married, as for your second sister, ......"
The old man cleared his throat and looked at me with a pleasant expression: "Erlang's words made the old man feel a little ...... That's it, when the time comes, give your sister some, it can be regarded as our parental responsibility, your second sister, wait for her to marry after she gets married, and let her marry more beautifully, but, the rest of the money, you brothers, one hundred thousand, Erlang, you don't need to say, your father knows that you have a lot of ideas to make money, but your yard has not been repaired yet, and it is given to you by your father, so you can't refuse? ”
"The child understands, then thank the father." I can only agree, I like money very much, but what I like is to dig out other people's pockets, not out of my own pockets, maybe because there are no brothers and sisters in the future, and my parents died early, I always carefully maintain family affection, for fear that I will accidentally hurt the people in the family, besides, money is just a number for me, so let me choose between the two, I would rather choose the former.
---------------------------------------------------- "Just let me and your mother raise you like this, do you think it's appropriate, madam?" The old man finally took care of everything in a rambling manner, and then turned back to ask his mother's opinion.
"Naturally, it is according to your wishes, master, the concubine is a woman, and the small things in the family can be decided, and the matter of this separation of the family, you should make a decision." My mother has no opinion. The old man glanced at his mother and the third child, and saw that his mother gave him face today and did not do anything with him, which made the old man feel a little surprised, but also, this kind of thing can only be decided by the old man, even if the mother has an idea, as long as the old man does not nod, even if it is useless to go to the government.
That night, the old man personally mentioned the note, and asked our brothers to sign and draw a pledge, one for each person, and the junior also wrote down his name in a regular manner, which was regarded as a contract for the separation of the family. The eldest brother has no opinion, and the junior child is a little fart, so he has no opinion if he can have candy to eat, and there is nothing wrong with him here. As for me, although I feel guilty, I still feel very touched by the old man's resolute behavior, at least in this way, the people in the family don't need to fight to the death in the future, which is the last thing I want to see.
Besides, none of my wives are kind people except for Green Butterfly, well, they are wholeheartedly devoted to me, but I don't dare to guarantee what they will do to anyone except me.
I went back to my little courtyard, held a family meeting, read out the decision made by the old man, and gave a detailed explanation to the mothers-in-law. "Needless to say, Junlang, speaking of which, our room still accounts for the majority, and my father-in-law has taken great pains to do so." Cheng Luanluan took my hand and said softly.
"My father-in-law deserves to be the ruler of one time, so it will save the peace between your brothers from hurting later." The palace maid's sister hugged Fang Jue and smiled. Well, this is reasonable, what I am most annoyed about is the restlessness of the family, and the most hated thing is that the family is not harmonious and ununited, so Li Shu, Cheng Luanluan, and Sister the palace maid, the three female goblins who are not kind, understand my mind very well, at least in front of me, there will never be signs of parting with each other, and they all get along very well, in addition, my relationship with my eldest brother is also very good, although it can't reach the exaggeration of brothers working together and Qi Li breaking gold, but it also belongs to the model type.
The family affairs were handled in a very calm state, there was no noise, and there was no scene of the later generations separating the family and dividing the court, making a scene where the family relationship was cut off, well, under the social system of Datang that governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, it is impossible to have that kind of situation.
