Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 29: Makeup
Everyone in the house was quiet when they heard that they wanted to separate their property. Mrs. Cheng was the first to walk in. Cheng Yujin was behind the host of Qingfu County. When she entered the house, she stood right next to Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yujin stopped immediately, took a step back, and said very filially, "Nine Uncle please."
Cheng Yujin now wants to give Cheng Yuanjing the same as his ancestor. Cheng Yuanjing glanced at Cheng Yujin before she stepped on the door. Cheng Yujin followed closely, and when she entered the old man's house, her eyes fell subconsciously on the mahogany closet, and she looked away casually.
The ward was quickly filled with people. Old Master Hou was lying on the bed and saw everyone coming. He said, "I haven't had a few days to live well. While my spirit is still okay, let me divide my family's property clearly."
Cheng Yuanhan said: "Dad what are you saying, your body is still tough."
Such old man Cheng Cheng felt funny when he heard it. His sons expected him to die the most. The elder brother said one way or the other. However, at this time, the second child would still have to look like he was wearing leather. Old Master Hou Cheng had no intention of worrying and said: "My brother and sister are clearing their accounts. While I am still there, they can still control you and make the family property clear as soon as possible. Do n’t wait for me to die. You fight for a little money and money and let outsiders see jokes. . "
Both Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan spoke up, and Old Master Hou coughed. He continued: "This is the second generation of our knighthood. I am dead. The boss can still hold the next generation. When I reach Baoer's generation, just watch Let ’s do the best. I ’ll do my best, and the rest of you will go to your own. After the boss Cheng Jue, Zu Tian will return to the boss, the second family will continue to live in Hou Mansion, but Zhong Fei will return to the wife of the big house. "
Cheng Yuanxian quickly nodded and said: "Dad, I can save these. My second brother and I will honor our mother well in the future."
This is a consensus. Mrs. Cheng is still alive. Of course, the two brothers cannot separate. Cheng Yuanxian has long known that the title of Houfu belongs to him, and Gongtian belongs to him. What everyone really cares about is the division of property.
Sure enough, Old Master Hou took a break and continued: "In addition to the Houfu industry, Gongzhong now has one third of the silver, the boss, the second and the Jiulang each get one. The big objects are converted into silver, and the three are divided equally. . "
Cheng Yuanhan was anxious: "Split into three?"
Cheng Yuanhan and Ruan Shi originally expected that the family property was divided into two. The big house has the Gongtian under the name of Hou Mansion, and it took the big head originally. The split into two parts or three parts has little effect on them, but for the second room, the difference is even greater.
Cheng Yuanjing said almost immediately: "No, it's divided into two."
Cheng Yujin scolded this group of idiots in his heart. How much can the difference between two copies and three copies be? Of course, the Prince of Silver in Yichun Houfu doesn't pay attention to this point, but if the Prince takes one of them, it is equivalent to admitting that he is a part of Houfu. With this relationship, how much can he return to the Cheng family in the future? But if it is divided between the big house and the second house, then Cheng Yuanjing has nothing to do with Yichun Houfu.
Unfortunately, everyone in the Cheng family now does not know the identity of Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yujinguang has a word, but he can't say it. She can only cough a little, pretending to say unintentionally: "The elders don't dare to say, since it is the grandfather's meaning, we should naturally obey the junior."
Cheng Yuanjing glanced down at Cheng Yujin, and Cheng Yujin immediately bowed his head. Cheng Yuanhan glanced at Cheng Yujin disapprovingly, and said in his heart that he was obviously his own daughter, but was raised into a white-eyed wolf by the big house. At this time, he also said cool words, and he really didn't know what to do.
Old Master Hou Cheng looked at Cheng Yujin with some surprise. Cheng Yujin watched his nose and watched his heart. Qingfu frowned, squeezing his voice: "Elders can't talk if they talk."
Cheng Yujin Urn responded: "Yes."
Cheng Yuanjing said that he would really be able to settle accounts. He had no intention of blending in the family's family property. As far as they are concerned, they don't count money in Cheng Yuanjing's eyes. Cheng Yuanjing gently and skillfully kicked the ball back: "Cheng Yujin was right, the elders did not dare to quit, put my share together and counted as my makeup for the eldest niece."
Cheng Yujin immediately agreed in her heart, she struggled: "How is this good ..."
"It's okay." Cheng Yuanjing said and glanced at Cheng Yujin. "The elders don't dare to say anything. This is my uncle's intention."
Cheng Yuanjing used Cheng Yujin's words to block her. What else could Cheng Yujin say. Cheng Yuanxian and Qingfu's abacus set fast, and Cheng Yuanjing attributed his share to Cheng Yujin, which is equivalent to two-thirds of them entering the big room's pocket, which is more cost-effective than evenly splitting. Cheng Yuanxian smiled and smiled: "The eldest girl is really sensible, and your uncle and nephew are filial and kind, which is really a blessing to our Cheng family. That's all for the matter."
Ruan wanted to object, but was robbed by Cheng Yuanxian. Ruan's face is very unsightly, but in front of everyone, she is not easy to speak, and can't help blaming Cheng Yujin for her troubles.
The old man Hou Cheng was shocked to see that his prince had such leisure. But it is a good thing that the prince is willing to care for the Cheng family, even if it is just a granddaughter, it is better than a complete split. The old man Hou Cheng saw Cheng Yuanjing ’s attitude, and when he exported the words, he temporarily changed some things: "You have all the property in Gongzhong, how much each family can get, I think you all know it. In addition to Gongzhong, I have been in these years Also accumulated some private property. "
Several of the Cheng family and Mrs. Cheng ’s ears were raised, and Hou ’s public accounts flowed daily under the eyes of everyone. There was so much money in them. Yichun Houfu ’s property on the Ming Dynasty is good, but it ’s hard to say how much private property the two elderly people have. In these years, the old Houye was bold, and he raised two homes and was for scholars. The money under his hands was simply unpredictable. Now we have to divide Cheng Houye's personal property, this is where everyone cares most.
Old Master Hou eased his breath and said, "In the future, Hou Mansion will be the boss, and the second son will have a son and a daughter, and there will be no secure house. I have a three-entry house in Chongjiao, which I will leave The second family. The old people will not leave you a house. I have two cottages in Wanping, one is more than 400 acres, one is 200 acres, the small one is reserved for the second room, and the big one is for Baoer to study in the future. use."
The Chongjiao Square is next to the Guozijian. The houses here are convenient in life. The rare thing is that the environment is good, and it is always hard to find a house. It's already not easy to put a three-entry house here. There are two sons in the second room, and it's just a solution to such a house.
Qingfu was also very satisfied. She wanted the new house to be useless. Instead, it was a farmstead with acres, which is the foundation of her standing. Qingfu silently calculated that the 400 acres of farmland would be leased out for farming every year, and by the end of the year, how could there be six or seven hundred and two hundred, which is not counted as rice grains, chickens, ducks and other things. The house of the second room is dead, but the income of the village and other villages is alive. The things they get are more practical than the second room, and the master of Qingfu County immediately smiles.
Old Master Hou suddenly looked at Cheng Yujin and said, "Ma'am, come here."
Cheng Yujin was startled and slowly stepped forward: "Grandfather."
Old Master Hou Cheng looked at her carefully, and sighed after a long time: "You have been obedient, but unfortunately you were retired when you reached the age of deliberation. It is not easy to talk about family affairs after retiring. Fortunately, you have the reward of the Holy Spirit, and you have more money From this point of view, maybe the future mother-in-law may value you more. I have two shops in Zhengxifang, a Liuli shop in Xuanbeifang, and a manor in Daxing County. The girl, the second girl will not fall, and will make Yumo two thousand two silver, a box of gold and silver utensils as makeup. Several shops in Yangzhou, half of the big room and two rooms, half of Jinling has ten hectares, all stay For Jiulang. I have accumulated four boxes of calligraphy and calligraphy beads in the past few years. The boss, the second son, and the Jiulang will get one box each, and the remaining box will be divided equally between you and your children. Right. "
At this point, the fields, businesses, collections, and cash in the name of Old Master Hou Cheng have all landed. The old servants who have served Mrs. Cheng for many years took out the title deeds and account books and handed them over to each one.
Cheng Yuanxian picked up a copy for himself and was planning to quickly open it to see how many entries he could make in a year, but he was quietly twisted by the master of Qingfu County. Cheng Yuanxian raised his head and saw the master of Qingfu County glaring at him, letting him go to see the four boxes of the old Hou Ye's collection, so as not to be preempted by the second room and steal valuable things.
Ruan's eyes were so deep that he instructed his two sons to choose the boxes. The children were ignorant, and of course they were more willing to give up their faces than adults. Qingfu scolded in his heart at the first sight, and quickly hinted that the maiden was holding Cheng Enbao, and she stared at the gatekeeper.
The people who just squeezed the room all dispersed. Cheng Yujin was not interested in the collection of Old Master Hou. Jin Yu's paintings and calligraphy were all dead. It was not as good as the cash he had on hand. Cheng Yujin had enough to eat and could not see the hardships. She was more curious about how the old shop Hou Cheng gave her three shops.
The old servant met and wondered: "Miss, there is one of the four boxes of treasures of the old Houhou for you and a few young masters. Wouldn't the elder girl look at it?"
Cheng Yujin smiled and said, "I am the elder sister, I want to let the younger brothers and sisters. Let them pick first, and wait for them to pick what they like, I will just take the rest."
The old servant looked at Cheng Yujin in surprise. The one who picked first took the advantage. This is the truth that the three-year-old knew. Cheng Yujin gave it to his brother and sister so generously. The old servant admired it very much and sincerely praised it: "Miss Madam is really sensible and deserves to be the elder sister."
Cheng Yujin smiled modestly: "Where, the grandfather taught well."
She subconsciously complimented the elders. After she finished, she realized that she had missed someone, so she accepted smoothly: "Thanks to Jiushu's precepts and teachings. I am deeply pityed by the elders, and I see how my grandfather treats people and how to clean up every day. Yan Ming, close to Zhu Zhechi, I was also lucky to learn one or two with my grandfather and uncle Jiu. "
Cheng Yuanjing couldn't help but glanced at Cheng Yujin again. Cheng Yujin saw the needle and saw it. Cheng Yujin stroked Yuan Jing gently and smiled, holding his hands together, and stood beside him in a very clever manner.
Old Master Hou Cheng was very touched when he heard Cheng Yujin's words. He couldn't help but think that his two sons, even Mrs. Cheng, had rushed over to grab something when they heard of his collection. Only Cheng Yujin continued to stay In front of him, her filial piety and conscientiousness far surpassed the others in the process. Old Master Hou Cheng lamented that there was no one right now. He signaled to the old servant and said, "Go get my red sandalwood box."
The old servant was shocked: "Hou Ye, that's your emergency body money, stay in case just in case."
"It's okay." Old Master Hou Cheng said indifferently, "It's all my age and my life is about to die. What can I do to prevent it. It's better to leave it to the juniors.
The old servant did not process the old Hou Ye and sighed. After a while, he returned from the inner room and took out a heavy wooden box. The wood of the box is exquisite, and it is a fine rosewood wood. Cheng Yujin was wondering what was put in it, and he heard Old Master Hou calling his name: "Big Girl."
Cheng Yujin was really surprised: "Grandpa, do you call me?"
"Yes." Old Master Hou nodded with a smile and gestured to her, "Go and get it."
Cheng Yujin took it forward, and the wooden box sank as soon as he started, and Cheng Yujin almost struggled to hold it. Old Master Hou took a key from under his pillow and said, "This is the gold I prepared, just in case. It is useless now, so I will leave it to you."
Cheng Yujin quickly glanced at Cheng Yuanjing and said, "How is this good? I am just a granddaughter. These things should be left to the three younger brothers ..."
"They have their own parents to help them plan in the future. Besides, they have hands and feet. The boys should rely on themselves to fight for their future. They always rely on their ancestors and elders to have a good future." Cheng Laohou said, "But you are different. Once you are a daughter ’s family, you always have to get married. Once you get married, you will be someone else ’s family, which is very different from your mother ’s family. Second, although you are the eldest daughter, after all, you ’re adoptive. I am wronged, and it ’s not easy to even find someone. I ca n’t take care of you for a long time, so I will reserve more money for you to do my duty as an elder. ”
With so much heavy gold, she didn't want to give it away once she entered Cheng Yujin's hand. Now with the words of Old Master Hou Cheng, she pretended to be difficult, and she accepted it half-pushed halfway: "Grandpa Xie is compassionate."
Old Master Hou said so much, he had been exhausted for a long time, and he still hangs in one breath. Cheng Yujin saw that Old Master Hou was tired, and Old Master Hou must have something to say with Cheng Yuanjing. She was very knowledgeable and said when she saw the opportunity: "The annoyed grandfather for a long time, the granddaughter did not disturb the grandfather to rest, the granddaughter retired. Uncle Jiu, the niece retreated first."
As soon as he turned around, Cheng Yujin glared at Du Ruo and asked her to carry the food box she had brought before. Cheng Yujin closed the door deliberately for the people inside when he went out.
After closing the door, Cheng Yujin's expression immediately changed. She took Du Ruo into the cubicle and lowered her voice and said, "Unpack the sandwich inside the food container and tuck the sandalwood box in. Don't show anything strange when you lift it, it should be empty."
Du Ruo also understood that he nodded again and again. But she was just injured by Cheng Enbao's waist today and was a bit stiff when she lifted the food container. Cheng Yujin saw and said, "Forget it, give it to me."
"Girl, how can this be done!"
"Why not." Cheng Yujin said, "Give me, you hold on, it is even worse to be seen by people."
Du Ruo knows how important, and Old Master Hou Cheng did not intend to give the gold to Cheng Yujin, but because Cheng Yujin stayed at the end, how much touch Old Master Hou Cheng would get this unexpected wealth. However, having too much money in the mansion is not necessarily a good thing. If the master of Qingfu County or Mrs. Cheng knows, the old man Hou Cheng left the life money to Cheng Yujin, the granddaughter, but bypassed two sons and three grandsons. , I am afraid not good. At that time, Cheng Yujin had to honor these things to his elders in order to protect himself.
Therefore, these golds cannot be known by Qingfu, Ruan, etc. anyway. Du Ruo didn't insist anymore, she was a little worried: "Girl, this food box is not too light, can you mention it?"
"How can't mention it." Cheng Yujin chuckled lightly. "As long as it's gold, I can't even mention it."
Du Ruo suddenly had nothing to say.
