She smiled contemptuously: "The mothers of the concubine's children are either slaves or children of the Taira family. Not only do they not have a dowry, but their natal family has to rely on the government to support them. In the government, they only enjoy fine clothes and food, and they only squander their wealth and do nothing for the government.

They have contributed not a penny to increase their property. Why should their children enjoy the same treatment as the children born to the royal wife?"

"So your grandmother is not happy to share the land with your second and third uncles, let alone the house handed down from your ancestors. This house is in a good location and has a large area. It was given by the royal family. If you give it away, you want to take it back.

It will be difficult to come back."

Xu Xi shook his head: "If you want to keep your house, you have to allocate more land and shops to them. But our family only has a few people, and we don't need many servants. How easy is it to maintain such a big house? If no one lives in the house for a long time, it will soon be destroyed.

It’s ruined.”

She looked at the eldest lady with burning eyes: "Mom, if we separate the unused areas and rent them out, we can collect a lot of rent every year, right? If so, can grandma agree?"

The old lady loves face so much that she would not be willing to rent out her ancestral home, which is a shameful thing. But if she is willing, she will save the land and shop and save her home, so she won't suffer a loss.

The eldest lady was stunned.

She really never thought about such a sexy operation.

"How, how can this be done?" She was a little choked as she spoke.

What Xu Xi did was really subversive of the thinking of a girl from a wealthy family.

Wealthy families have a lot of real estate, and they don't care about money. They leave the house empty and don't rent it out just to live there occasionally during the year. They also have to send people to guard and take care of the house to prevent it from falling into disrepair.

Moreover, there is more than one such house, there are two or three in the city, and two or three outside the city.

This is called arrogance, this is called not short of money.

This is true for vacant other courtyards, let alone the house where my own family lives.

It’s not that his family is so poor that he can’t afford to eat, why would he take out part of a commonly used residence in the capital and rent it out? This will probably become a laughing stock among the aristocratic circles in the capital.

As soon as Xu Xi saw the eldest lady's expression, he knew that his idea was inappropriate.

"That's just what I mentioned." She said with a smile.

"Madam, my uncle is back and is at the old lady's place, asking you to come over to discuss things." Caixia came in to report.

Now the servants in the mansion are very embarrassed about how to call Zhao Yuanxun. They used to call him "Master Hou", but now this title must not be called. Let's change it to "Uncle", which is suspected of poking at the heart of the master. Calling him ""

"Big Master" also seems inappropriate, for the same reason as above.

All in all, it's really difficult.

Not to mention the servants, even the eldest lady herself was not used to it. She was stunned for a moment when she heard the word "Uncle", and then realized that it was Zhao Yuanxun who said it.

"Sister Xi, please go back and have a rest. I'll go and see your grandmother." The eldest lady stood up and said.

The two of them went out together and arrived near Rongxi Hall. Xu Xi said goodbye to the eldest lady and was about to turn around and go back to Pinming Residence when she saw a group of people coming from the direction of the second room. She couldn't help but stop.

"What are they doing?" The eldest lady saw the person clearly and frowned.

Several servants were carrying a stretcher, and Zhao Yuanliang was lying on it. The four children in the second room were surrounding him and heading this way together.

Xu Xi glanced at Zhao Ruyu and chuckled: "I guess he doesn't want to separate the family."

In the novel she read, the most beautiful moment in the life of the heroine Zhao Ruyu was when she married Fu Yunlang, and later became Mrs. Pingnanhou.

Now that the Wei family was convicted and beheaded, the Suiping family was divided. Zhao Ruyu was already in an embarrassing situation. After the family was divided, she was no longer an honorable lady. She also had an adoptive mother who was beheaded by the court, Ping Nanhou, on her head.

Will the madam still allow her to come in? She wants to marry Fu Yunlang as smoothly as she did in her previous life, but she has many difficulties.

In Zhao Ruyu's view, the stupid things Wei did had ruined her entire life.

In the second room, Zhao Ruyu is not willing to split up the family, and Zhao Jingli is not willing to split up the family either. And Zhao Yuanliang, who is the most decisive person, probably is not willing to split up the family either.

Regardless of whether the family is separated, Zhao Yuanliang does not have to worry about anything, he only needs to live together and wait for death. After the family is separated, the marriage of the four children has to be arranged, the food, drink, clothing and favors of the Manchu people have to be arranged, which is important for a lifetime.

For Zhao Yuanliang, who had never worried about it, it was really more uncomfortable than death.

As for Zhao Jingan and Zhao Rurui, they probably don't want to separate.

After the families were separated, the house must have been in chaos according to Zhao Yuanliang's character of not worrying about anything. The Wei family was also convicted and beheaded, so there was no need to pay attention to morality. Maybe Zhao Yuanliang in Rexiaoli could bring in a stepmother for them.

Now that he has a stepmother and a stepfather, Zhao Jingan can no longer think about the past. Zhao Rurui's marriage will have to be in the hands of a strange woman.

In comparison, the generous and generous aunt is naturally more reliable.

The eldest lady naturally wanted to separate the family. But thinking about her mother-in-law and looking at the big family made her head hurt.

Maybe, this family still can't be divided.

"Mom, do you want to separate the family?" Xu Xi quickly asked the eldest lady before they got close.

"Of course I have, even in my dreams. It's just your grandmother..." The eldest lady shook her head.

Xu Xi rolled his eyes and turned to tell Cai Die: "Go and call the third young master."

Caidi glanced at the eldest lady and saw that she had no objection, so she picked up her skirt and ran towards the main room.

"Sister-in-law, is the eldest brother in the Rongxi Hall?" Zhao Yuanliang asked as the stretcher was carried in front of the eldest lady.

"Here you are. If you don't have a good rest, why are you running around?" The eldest lady scolded, "Hurry up and carry it in."

A group of people entered the Rongxi Hall, and the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun were sitting there talking.

Zhao Jingli's four children did not need Zhao Yuanliang to remind them, and they knelt down directly for their father in front of the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Yuanxun saw this stance and stood up immediately.

Zhao Yuanliang lay on the wooden board and said: "Old madam, eldest brother and sister-in-law, our room does not want to be divided. I can't control the third brother's side, but we don't want to separate our room."

"This..." Zhao Yuanxun looked back at his mother.

He knew that his mother didn't want to separate the family before. She was quite angry just now about the house.

If he hadn't been heartbroken by Wei's move to change the child and Zhao Yuankun's indifferent performance last night, Zhao Yuanliang's request might have been agreed to by Zhao Yuanxun himself for the sake of his mother.

But now he is not very happy.

Originally, it was said that brothers working together could cut off the gold. But these two brothers did not give him any help and were still holding him back. Zhao Yuanliang's wife had brought the family to such a state; Zhao Yuankun regarded her as a stumbling block to progress and wished he could get rid of him.

.

Living with such a brother, he is afraid that his life will be shortened by a few years. Not only will his life be short, but his wife will also suffer as a result.
