The old lady was already very confused about the separation of the family. After listening to Xu Xi's guidance, she seemed to have figured it out when she received the imperial edict yesterday, but now after hearing Zhao Yuanliang's words, she is still very moved.

If the second bedroom is not divided, the house can be saved. All we need to do is set aside part of the land and two shops for the third bedroom and let them buy their own house. In this way, others will not say that Zhao Yuanxun is harsh, ruthless, and indifferent.

Brotherhood.

As soon as she had this idea, Zhao Jingtai came in. He probably ran over. His face was red and he was still breathing.

After he saluted and said hello to the elders in the room, the eldest lady quickly called him to the old lady and said to the old lady: "Except for the third bedroom, all the children are here. After all, it is a family separation, leaving out Brother Tai.

It was not good either, so I asked someone to call him."

Zhao Jingtai smiled sweetly at the old lady: "Grandma."

Seeing Zhao Jingtai and then looking at Zhao Jingli who was kneeling there, the old lady's mind suddenly came to her senses.

Yes, if Zhao Jingli is still in this family, he has his twin brother Zhao Jing'an to help him, and the two eldest brothers are over his head. Even if Zhao Jingtai is named the crown prince, what does he mean?

The ancestral home is certainly important, but if her children and grandchildren are overshadowed by the children and grandchildren of a bitchy concubine, this is something the old lady will never tolerate.

For the sake of her own son, she had suppressed Zhao Yuankun for more than ten years. It was impossible for her to let Zhao Yuanliang's son suppress her grandson just for the sake of the house.

She immediately swallowed the words that came to her mouth and said to Zhao Yuanliang: "I am old and your eldest brother is not in good health anymore. We can't worry about it anymore. Your sister-in-law manages the whole family by herself. Seeing her hard work, I also

It’s uncomfortable. Let’s divide this family. After the family is divided, you marry another wife and let her help you take care of the house. You, don’t spend all day entertaining cats and dogs outside. Your son is already so old, you

As a father, you have to worry about what you need to worry about, but don't just ignore everything."

She looked at Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an again: "You are older too, fourteen years old. In two years, you will get married. By then the family will have more and more people. You can't bother your aunt alone, can you?

We must learn to stand up.”

She paused and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Anyway, if I die, this family will still be divided. Now it's just a few years ahead of schedule. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to divide."

Everyone hurriedly spoke out and said that the old lady would live a long life.

The old lady said so. Zhao Yuanliang, Zhao Jingli, and Zhao Jing'an couldn't say that they were not good enough and had to let their sister-in-law (aunt) worry about it, right? They had no choice but to lower their heads and remain silent.

Zhao Ruyu was very anxious. But not only was she a daughter, she was not from the Zhao family. She was not even qualified to intervene in the Zhao family's separation.

She had no choice but to push Zhao Rurui with her elbow.

Zhao Rurui glanced at her, pursed her lips, hesitated, and said, "But we can't bear to part with our grandmother, uncle, and aunt."

The four of them were kneeling there, and the eldest lady was standing behind her. She could clearly see their movements and expressions.

In order to prevent the old lady from being shaken, the eldest lady quickly took over and said: "Even if we are separated, we are still a family. If you are interested, you can come and visit the old lady often. Sister Rui, you are old now, so you should stay at home.

It won't be long. No matter how reluctant you are to let go, you will still get married. Then we will still have to separate, right?"

As she said that, she turned to ask Zhao Yuanxun: "Sir, have you made an appointment with the clan members? When will they come? We have to prepare."

Zhao Yuanxun did not go to make an appointment with the clan. After he came back from the Yamen to inquire about the news, he originally wanted to tell the old lady about the Wei family giving two thousand taels of silver to Po Wen, so that the old lady would be prepared in case the clan clan came.

Later, I became emotional because of this incident, which caused another incident.

But he understood what his wife meant.

He said: "We have an appointment. As you know, Uncle Jiu is in poor health and has been taking medicine all year round. We have to wait until he drinks the medicine at home before coming over." He looked at the sky and said, "It will probably be more than half an hour later."

The old lady had already firmed up her mind when she saw Zhao Jingtai. Now, listening to the conversation between Zhao Yuanxun and his wife, she knew that they still wanted to insist on separating their families.

Although she is the elder of the two of them, they are still in charge of this family.

She immediately said: "Okay, you all get up. Tortoiseshell, glass, pearl, and jade, help them all up."

The four maids quickly stepped forward to help him.

Zhao Yuanliang wanted to say something else, but the old lady and sister-in-law both said that. After much thought, he couldn't find a reason to stop it, so he just sighed and gave up.

Zhao Ruyu had a lot to say, but she also understood that once she spoke, no matter which one of the three people, the old lady, the eldest lady, and Xu Xi, disliked her and asked her to go back to the Xu family, she would

It's over.

So even though she was unwilling, she didn't dare to say another word.

"Second brother, you go back first. I will notify you when Uncle Jiu and the others come over," Zhao Yuanxun said.

He said "you", not "you".

If Zhao Jingli was still the eldest son, he would have to participate in the family division. But now he is not. He and Zhao Jingan are not yet adults, and children are not eligible to participate in the family division.

Originally, women were not eligible to participate. However, the old lady and the eldest lady Zhu both had royal titles and were higher than the two white bodies, Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Yuankun. The old lady was the elder, and the eldest lady was the eldest sister-in-law, as well as the actual person in the uncle's house.

The manager and the account books are all in her hands, so she naturally needs to be involved.

Zhao Yuanliang had no choice but to lead a group of people back to the second room in despair.

As soon as they left, Xu Xi said goodbye wisely.

In modern times, women have the right to inherit, so they can naturally participate in things like dividing the family. But not in ancient times. Moreover, she did not earn the family business, so she was too lazy to intervene.

She wasn't even interested in sending anyone to inquire about the follow-up matters. She only asked Aunt Yuan about her clan.

"The Zhao family is not originally from the capital. Our ancestors followed the emperor to conquer the world, made great achievements, and became the Duke of the country. However, the people from his hometown have long since disappeared, so no one followed him to the capital. However, our ancestors spread their branches and raised their legitimate children.

If there are many, they will naturally be divided. The one closest to our branch who is still alive is the master's uncle, who is the ninth in the clan, and we call him the Ninth Old Master."

"Then among these separated clansmen, are there any promising ones?" Xu Xi asked again.

Aunt Yuan shook her head: "No, there are two or three people who have passed the Jinshi examination, and their official career is limited to the fourth rank."

Xu Xi nodded.

Since no clan member is more powerful than Suiping Bofu, the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun have more say, and the family division will naturally follow their wishes.

Zhao Yuanliang is incompetent and timid, and he wants Zhao Yuanxun to take more care of him, so he will not compete with the big family in terms of money; Zhao Yuankun has the support of the Yue family and the Su family's dowry, so he will not pay attention to the property of the uncle's house.

Here, I just want to separate the family quickly, so I won't fight.
