Sure enough, just after noon, the family was divided. Zhao Yuanxun sent someone to call Xu Xi to the ancestral hall, and watched as the Nine Old Masters wrote Zhao Jingli's name under Zhao Yuanliang's name on the family tree, and then added Zhao Ruxi under Zhao Yuanxun's name.

name.

Originally, Xu Xi was a daughter and was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall. However, the Zhao family had lost her for more than ten years and owed her something. In addition, Zhao Yuanxun repeatedly insisted, so the clan allowed her to enter the ancestral hall.

At present, Zhao Jingli and Xu Xi knelt down and kowtowed to their ancestors' tablets in the ancestral hall. In this way, they each returned to their respective places.

After the clan members were sent away and the people in the second and third bedrooms dispersed, Zhao Yuanxun said to Xu Xi: "Our family's affairs have been heard by Heaven. It's better if you don't move your household registration back, otherwise you will be registered as a ginseng."

You will be punished. I will go to Beining County tomorrow and transfer your household registration back."

"As for whether you can still study at Beining Women's College, I have to go to the college to find out. Although we can also make friends with Princess Shangde and have people intercede with her, this matter is very involved.

The power struggle between various factions in the palace is not a matter of personal friendship. Therefore, it is only right to ask through the academy. I will go there and ask after I go to Bac Ninh to register my household registration. If Princess Shangde feels that you cannot stay there,

Just go home. My parents specially hired a teacher to teach you at home."

Naturally, Xu Xi couldn't bear to leave Beining Women's Academy. She also didn't want to be an ancient woman staying in a deep house.

But Suiping's residence had just angered the emperor. There were countless people in the court who were close friends with Wei Qiu who wanted to catch the uncle's pigtails. The Zhao family also had Zhao Yuankun, who regarded the old lady and the eldest house as their enemies, so maybe they could.

Asking someone to read a copy of Zhao Yuanxun in the court. Naturally, Xu Xi could not be willful because of his own selfishness.

She nodded and said, "Everything depends on daddy's arrangements."

Ever since he learned that this was his daughter, and listened to his mother and wife praising her all day long, when Zhao Yuanxun went to pick her up from the academy that day, he felt that his daughter was good, good-looking, and smart.

The heart of a loving father can no longer be calmed down.

Seeing that his daughter was so obedient, he couldn't help but reach out and pat Xu Xi on the head, and said with a smile: "Be good."

Xu Xi was originally only close to the old lady and the eldest lady, and had little contact with Zhao Yuanxun, and she still felt unfamiliar. But now that she was patted by him and heard the word "good", her little defense was suddenly defeated.

Already.

The eldest lady was very relieved to see her husband and daughter so close.

She separated from her husband in the front yard and sent her mother-in-law back to Rongxi Hall. The eldest lady said to Xu Xi, "Go to my place. I have something to tell you."

Xu Xi followed the eldest lady to the main room.

After entering the room and sitting down, the eldest lady told her: "I will tell you the specific circumstances of the separation."

She pointed outside: "This house is divided into three parts. We occupy the large part in the middle and give them the courtyard where they live now. We directly seal the arch leading to this side and open a gate on the other side.

That’s it.”

Xu Xi nodded.

This division of the house is quite reasonable.

Although the time she came back was limited, she also walked through the house during her walk after dinner.

The house occupies a large area. At first, the ancestor of the Zhao family was a military general and the oldest one. He did not think about creating any scenery or a special garden. Instead, he thought about having more children and grandchildren and building more houses, so he built a house in the east.

, courtyard groups have been built on the south, west, north and central axis.

First of all, there is the central axis. In addition to the two courtyards of the main hall in the front yard and the Rongxi Hall in the backyard, there is also the large courtyard where Dafang currently lives.

There are large courtyards in the southeast corner and southwest corner of the outer courtyard. The southeast corner is now the study room of the gentlemen, and the southwest corner is the guest courtyard.

There are two bedrooms in the northeast corner of the house, and three bedrooms in the southeast corner. The servants in each house live in a row of servant rooms built behind each house.

In order to facilitate management, each courtyard was separated by walls, leaving only arches for people to enter and exit. After nightfall, each room would be locked or someone would be posted to guard the door, each taking care of its own safety.

Now the two-bedroom and three-bedroom houses are directly separated from each other, leaving the house with a "convex" shape.

The remaining house is also very large, and there are so many yards. In Xu Xi's opinion, it is already very good. At least the big house cannot be occupied by the few people. From now on, Zhao Jingtai's five or six sons will live in a spacious place.

But the ancients paid attention to building square and square houses, which is called having all four corners. It is unlucky for a house to be missing two corners now. The old lady is probably a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise she would not be willing to split up for a house. The two missing corners

It would probably make the old lady so uncomfortable that she couldn't sleep at night.

"Each of them has one shop, which is small in area and in an average location. The second house is divided into two hundred and fifty acres, and the third house is divided into three hundred and sixty acres. Because the two pieces of land are in two different areas.

There are only so many acres in the county, so it can only be divided in this way to make it easier to manage. For the difference, your third uncle will compensate your second uncle with money."

As she said that, she laughed, lovingly nodded Xu Xi's forehead and said, "It's all thanks to you, kid, that we can divide it like this."

"Ah?" Xu Xi blinked innocently, "What does this have to do with me?"

"I told your grandmother about your idea of ​​renting out the house. When your grandmother heard this idea, she quickly agreed to divide the house with two and three bedrooms. She was worried that I would have no money, so she listened to your advice and rented out the house to others.

Look at our family’s jokes.”

Xu Xi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, as proud as a little mouse that had stolen oil.

"There is still money." The eldest lady sighed, "The prince still has five thousand three hundred and fifty-two taels of silver. We account for about 80% of the land and shops, so this cash should be divided. Fortunately for you

Remind me, your father went to the Yamen and asked someone to copy Po Wen's confession and put it in front of your second uncle and third uncle, so they had nothing to say."

"But the Wei family gave Po Wen two thousand taels. What about her wet nurse and that nanny? Grandpa gave them at least three thousand taels each, right? Even if they were divided equally, they could only get two thousand taels. What's more?

They can only account for 20%," Xu Xi said.

"How easy is it to get them to vomit out the food they have eaten? Your second uncle has repeatedly said that this is Wei's dowry, or did I say that when Wei married in, I knew how much dowry she had, and I knew whether she had any money in the box. You

The second uncle just shut up. Originally, they wanted to fight over the fields and shops, but when I mentioned this, they had nothing to say."

The eldest lady smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Your third uncle also said that this is your grandfather's private money, and he can give it to whomever he likes. Since it is not given to your father, then it does not belong to your father, and now there is no mention of it at all when the family is divided.
