Song Ruining said "um" and responded: "It was Qin Shi and Qin Qiang who looked for Brother Zhao, they knelt in front of Brother Zhao and begged Brother Zhao to spare their mother's life, Brother Zhao didn't say anything at that time, but he still cared about a little brotherhood and saved He's life in front of the emperor." ”

"Zhao'er did the right thing. Although according to the law, it is not an exaggeration for the He family to die, but in the end, the He family is the mother of the three brothers and sisters, not to mention the side, just for the sake of the three brothers and sisters, there is nothing wrong with leaving the He family with a life. What's more, sometimes it is more painful to live than to die, and with He's kind of heart, living is actually a kind of torture. ”

"I don't care if she's dead or alive, and she doesn't live in the same house with me anyway, but I hate it, even that woman, how dare she do that? For the sake of the position of the son, he actually wants to kill Brother Zhao, mother, a woman like the He family is really vicious! ”

"Not to mention that there are titles to inherit in the house, that is, those who do not have titles to inherit, in order to earn the resources left by their ancestors, between their concubines, and even the brothers of the same mother, they calculate a lot of each other."

"That's when they want to take shortcuts to success."

Song Ruining spoke with disdain.

"Take shortcuts to save time and effort, and those people will have difficulty giving up the competition."

"Isn't it good to work on your own? What you want, rely on your own ability to work hard to achieve, so that you can not only enjoy the process of forging ahead, but also reap the fruits of success, think about it has motivation. ”

"There are all kinds of people in the world, not everyone can do what you think, after all, there is a certain risk in this, and it is undoubtedly easier to succeed with family resources."

"That's right, but Qin Ming and Qin Shi didn't have the intention of winning the title, but the He family knew what Qin Ming and their brothers thought, and they still calculated Brother Zhao and wanted to take Brother Zhao's life, mother, I think it, the He family's various actions just want to fulfill her own ambitions."

Song Ruining said indignantly.

Ye Xia chuckled: "It's just the housewife of a princess, what ambition can she have?" ”

"Mother, are you deliberately pretending to be confused?"

Song Ruining puffed out his cheeks: "The heir of the Guogong Mansion will be inherited by either Brother Zhao and Brother Qin Ming in the future, which means a lot to the He family. ”

Ye Xia raised his eyebrows: "What's the different method?" ”

She really intended to tease her daughter.

"It seems that my mother is really pretending to be confused, but your daughter and I have a big belly, so I won't take it to heart!"

Song Ruining's eyebrows and eyes were smart, and he said: "If Brother Zhao inherits the title, although the He family is the old lady of the mansion in the future, but in the final analysis, she is just a stepmother.

It is very difficult to casually use filial piety to suppress Brother Zhao and me. After all, your daughter is not a vegetarian, and what He did to Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao will not forget, this is equivalent to pinching He's handle.

What's more, there is Changguo Gong, a woman in the back house who is disgusted by her husband, and she wants to stir up trouble in the house, but she is afraid that what awaits her will be a letter of resignation. And if it is Qin Ming or Qin Shi who inherits the title,

Then He is the old lady of the Guogong Mansion, at that time, if Brother Zhao and I don't move out of the mansion to live, there is no doubt that we have to look at He's face and live, there is such an obvious contrast, He is trying to seize the position of the son, in fact, it is not difficult to understand. ”

"Her behavior is not difficult to understand, but she does those things around her own interests, which is really unworthy of the word 'mother' in terms of her status as a mother.

For example, she deserves the fate she has now, but her behavior affects the future of her children, and she makes her children suffer such and such bad words in vain. ”

Ye Xia's tone was light, and after listening to her, Song Ruining pursed her lips, and her delicate voice overflowed her lips and teeth: "Mother, those bad words will gradually be forgotten by people over time." ”

Ye Xia bowed his head lightly: "It will be forgotten." ”

However, even if a long time passes, the mistakes she has made will remain on her three children like a stain. This is ancient times, the supremacy of feudal imperial power,

It is an era when there are clear classes, respect and inferiority, and grandchildren, even if she has made efforts to improve people's livelihood, upgrade the economy, develop science and technology, education, and promote women to go out of the back house, participate in work and study...... However, there are some deep-rooted ideas that are difficult to change for a while.

Marriage, yes, take marriage as an example, in the eyes of princes and magnates, the right marriage is still the first choice, and they will not allow the unmarried children of the family to marry a commoner woman.

To marry a poor boy, even if he chooses a wife from a family with a similar family, the reputation of the man's parents and his own reputation will inevitably be taken into account. Qin Ming's three siblings have a mother who is thousands of miles away,

And this mother was abandoned by Changguo Gong, even if they are the children of Changguo Gong, it is not easy to have a good marriage in all aspects.

Sighing secretly, Ye Xia shook his head in his heart, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, those portals with a certain social background or wealth, in the marriage of their children, there are still many people who value portals. In other words, it is the profit that comes first. Use the word "marriage" to express it, don't be too clear.

"Mother......

Song Ruining was a little hesitant at this time, and seeing this, Ye Xia smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The grandfather said that he wanted to divide all the brothers of Brother Zhao, whether they were married or not, none of them would be separated from the house, and as for the daughters who were not married, they would also not stay, and they would follow their brothers out of the house to live, but the silver and dowry for marrying relatives were all allocated by the princess."

Saying this, Song Ruining couldn't help but sigh with ease: "Mother, you said that if Grandpa really did this, would Brother Zhao be gossiped about?" ”

"It can't be avoided."

Ye Xia responded to her daughter, and said: "But with Changguo Gong on his back, even if there is gossip outside, it won't have much impact on Zhao'er." By the way, how does Chang Guogong plan to arrange those concubines? ”

"If there is only a daughter under the knees, and the daughter is already married, it will be sent to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to give birth to a good child, and if there are no children, each person will give a dowry and send it out, and if you don't want a dowry, you will directly convert it into silver and take it away."

Chang Guogong made such an arrangement, whether it was Qin Zhao or Song Ruining, he didn't have any opinions, and as for those concubines and concubines, they could only hold back their opinions. Leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade,

But there was such a person as the He family in the Guogong Mansion, and the Changguo Gong had to make great efforts to rectify it, and the concubines and those aunts knew that it was unrealistic to continue to live in Gongfu.

Even if they are safe and don't think about things that don't belong to them, Chang Guogong will not leave them to block the prince and his wife, and will not leave any hidden dangers in the mansion.

Therefore, there was reluctance, and after hearing that Changguo Gong had plans to divide the family, the concubine and their aunt stayed quietly in their own courtyard, and did not make trouble in the house, so as not to make Changguo Gong angry and treat the family differently when they separated.

"It's good for Chang Guogong to do this. This door is big, the heirs are luxuriant, they all live in a big house, it is inevitable that there will be fights, pickled things, not to mention the big tree forks, it is common sense for children to divide the family, and the early separation of the family will save trouble, so that the relationship between brothers may be better in the future. ”

If you don't live together, there will be less conflict of interest, and it will be more natural for brothers to get along with each other, and the most important point is that there will be less selfish calculations between the women of the house.

"Decisive and neat, very good!"

The corners of Ye Xia's mouth smiled: "In the future, there will be Changguo Gong and Zhao'er and your three masters in the Guogong Mansion, and the life will definitely be very clean." ”

"That's true, but it's not good if the house is too quiet."

Song Ruining said casually.

"Really? Then you and Zhao'er work harder, and strive to give birth to a baby as soon as possible, so that the Changguo Mansion will naturally be lively. ”

Song Ruining blushed: "Mother! ”

"Shy?"

Ye Xia asked.

"Mother also said, Ning Ning ignores you!"

Song Ruining made a gesture to withdraw his hand from the crook of Ye Xia's arm, but Ye Xia patted the back of his hand, and said with a doting tone: "You are all married, there is no need to feel embarrassed, just let everything go naturally, if you don't want to be born now, then wait a few more years." ”

"And what if I don't want to have a baby all the time?"

Song Ruining asked with a wink of dark eyes.

Ye Xia smiled: "Then we won't give birth." ”

Song Ruining immediately smiled like a flower: "Mother is so good!" Ning Ning's favorite mother! ”

Since there are plans to split up the family, and the rumors have spread in the house, Changguo Gong naturally did not delay. In the past half a month, Chang Guogong summoned all his sons to the main hall and took the pre-determined division details.

When he opened his mouth, he said the family property and cash in the house, and when he planned to divide it into three or seven points, he directly proposed that only fifty percent of the family property should be left in the house. Another fifty percent, two percent to Qin Ming Qin Shi half of the points,

The remaining thirty percent are divided equally among the brothers. The bridal money for the unmarried brother and the unmarried sister is to be set aside from the public treasury first. As soon as they heard Qin Zhao's division, the Qin Ming brothers and several concubines of Chang Guogong were all surprised, and then they were full of emotion.

Originally, three or seven points was one percent more than the two or eight points in the law, but now the next successor of the government said that it was five or five points, which was to give up the benefits to these brothers who were due to themselves.

How can it not make people's hearts vivid? Qin Zhao really doesn't care about the family business in the house, he has a private treasury, and the things in it are all his own, rewarded by the emperor, and given by Ye Xia every year before.

There are those who he and Song Fengyan secretly make money from doing business, in addition to these, there is also the dividends that Ye Xia gives from "Wei Xia" every year. That's right, Ye Xia made Weixia a joint-stock system,

Except for the shares given to Emperor Yongkang before, except for the shares left for education and research and development, she was impartial and divided into four parts, one for each of Song Fengyan's three brothers and sisters, and one for Qin Zhao, the righteous son. Therefore, Qin Zhao really has no shortage of silver, even if he has to support the aunts sent to Zhuangzi by Changguo Gong later, it is not a big deal.

The Changguo Mansion was divided, how it was divided, once it was rumored, there was no shortage of people who said that Qin Zhao was a fool and harmed his own interests, and he had never seen anyone more stupid than Qin Zhao.

Of course, there are many people who say that Qin Zhao is broad-minded, pure and kind, affectionate and righteous to his brothers, and in order to make life better for the brothers who are out of the mansion, he takes the initiative to retreat his own interests.

In short, no matter what others say, the division of the Changguo Mansion went smoothly, and within a few days, including the Qin Ming brothers, Qin Zhao's brothers all happily moved out of the Guogong Mansion and lived in the new house in the middle of the mansion.

In order to make it easier for the sons to have a place to live as soon as they were divided, the prince of Changguo gave each of his sons a large house, and ordered each house to take away all the people in their courtyard.

If the family is willing to go out of the house, then let the family go together, and if there is a deed of sale, the deed of sale will be handed over directly to their respective masters.

After discussing with Chang Guogong, Song Ruining bought a group of subordinates from Renyazi and filled them into the vacant courtyards to be responsible for cleaning, so as not to waste the yards after a long time. At the same time, none of the original thieves and cheaters in the house escaped the fate of being betrayed.

In this way, Song Ruining single-handedly built the Changguo Mansion like an iron bucket, and the small life was so smooth that he didn't want it.

Time flies, more than ten years have passed, this year, Ye Xia is fifty-five years old, however, the years have not left many traces on her face, and she is at most twenty-five or sixteen years old.

In the past ten years, Song Fengyan and his brothers married in the year Song Ruining got married, and in the following year, Song Ruining gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Qin Zhao, Song Fengyan and Song Fengran's wives, and the two brothers gave birth to a son.

When these four babies were five years old, Song Fengyan's wife added another son to them, and Song Fengran's wife added a small padded jacket to their second room, as for Song Ruining, Qin Zhao felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and only gave birth to one child so far.

Daxia has been developing steadily, and for more than ten years, the transportation has become more convenient, and agricultural machinery has been constantly new...... The wide asphalt road is lined with cars of different colors, and it is said that the Royal Academy of Sciences is working on a big thing that can carry people into the sky, and it is said that the big thing is called an airplane, and it is said that it is about to be developed......

Sensing that she was feeling unwell, Ye Xia knew that she was about to leave this world, so she did not hesitate at all, and handed over her resignation to Emperor Qianqing, resigning from all the important positions she shouldered.

Emperor Qianqing repeatedly retained, but failed to leave the only female appearance of this Great Xia, and failed to leave the only female concubine of this Great Xia...... In the end, he could only agree to Ye Xia's withdrawal from the court. She is extremely satisfied with this, satisfied that in the years of Great Xia, Great Xia has completed the great cause of unifying the world, satisfied with the current development of Great Xia, satisfied with her student Emperor Qianqing, and satisfied with the people of Great Xia living better day by day.

Monogamy was pushed out by Emperor Qianqing, at first, there was a lot of opposition, but Emperor Qianqing was resolute and did not accept concubines, and there was always only one queen in the harem.

The emperor's teacher, Prince Ren's two sons and righteous sons, were also accompanied only by their wives, plus the officials who followed Emperor Qianqing from the East Palace to the court, and the sons of the Chengen Mansion had no concubines and rooms.

In just a few years, even if the princes and magnates no longer wished, they all sent out the messy women in the backyard one by one and followed the emperor's footsteps.
