Chapter 29

All the people in the room were quiet when they heard that they were going to divide their property. Old lady Cheng took the lead to walk in. Cheng Yujin followed Princess Qingfu. When she entered the house, she just stood next to Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yujin immediately stopped, stepped back and said very filial: "Uncle Jiu, please."

Cheng Yujin now wants to give up Cheng Yuanjing as her ancestor. Cheng Yuanjing glances at Cheng Yujin and enters the door first. Cheng Yujin followed her closely. When she entered the house of marquis Cheng, her eyes subconsciously fell on the mahogany closet, and she looked away as if nothing had happened.

The ward was soon full of people. Mr. Cheng was lying on the bed. Seeing all the people coming, he said, "I haven't had a few days to live. Now I'm in a good mood. Let's divide the family property clearly."

Cheng Yuanhan said, "Dad, what are you talking about? You are still strong."

This kind of words sounds funny to Mr. Cheng. His sons are looking forward to his death. The eldest one says something, but the second one has to wrangle. Old Marquis Cheng had no intention to worry about it. He said, "my brother knows what to do. While I'm still here, I can still control you. I'll make it clear as soon as possible. Don't wait for me to die, you fight for a little money and let outsiders see jokes. "

Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan were chatting with each other. The Marquis of Cheng coughed and continued: "our family's title is the second generation. When I die, the eldest can inherit the same generation. When we get to bao'er's generation, it depends on the grace of the saint. I'll try my best to do it, and you can do it yourself. After the eldest brother took over the title, the ancestral fields all belonged to the eldest brother, and the old two families continued to live in the Marquis's house, but the middle income was in the charge of the eldest daughter-in-law. "

Cheng Yuanxian quickly nodded and said, "Dad, I can save all this. My second brother and I will be filial to our mother in the future. "

This is a consensus. Mrs. Cheng is still alive. Of course, the two brothers can't separate their families. Cheng Yuanxian has known for a long time that the title of Marquis's office belongs to him, the public land belongs to him, and his parents' pension also belongs to him. What people really care about is the division of property.

Sure enough, Mr. Cheng stopped for a while, and continued: "in addition to the property of the Marquis's house, there are three shares of the cash in the public, and the eldest, the second and the ninth Lang each take one. Big things are converted into silver and divided equally among the three. "

Cheng Yuan Han a listen to anxious: "divide into three?"

In Cheng Yuanhan's and Ruan's original expectation, the family property was divided into two parts. Dafang has Gongtian in the name of Houfu. Originally, they took the big head. Whether they divided it into two or three had little influence on them, but for Erfang, the difference was big.

Cheng Yuanjing said almost immediately, "no, divide it into two parts."

Cheng Yujin scolds these idiots in her heart. How much difference can be made between two and three? Of course, the crown prince doesn't pay much attention to the money of the Yichun Marquis's residence. But if the crown prince takes one of them, it's equivalent to admitting that he is a member of the Marquis's residence. With this kind of relationship, how much can he repay to the Cheng family in the future? But if Dafang and Erfang were to be divided up, Cheng Yuanjing would have nothing to do with Yichun Marquis's residence.

Unfortunately, everyone in the Cheng family doesn't know the identity of Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yujin just has a voice, but she can't say it. She coughed softly and pretended to say unintentionally, "the elder doesn't dare to give up. Since it's my grandfather's idea, we should listen to it."

Cheng Yuanjing looks down at Cheng Yujin, who immediately looks down. Cheng Yuanhan looks at Cheng Yujin with displeasure. He says to himself that he is clearly his own daughter, but he has been cultivated as a white eyed wolf by Dafang. At this time, he still makes sarcastic remarks. He really doesn't know good from bad.

Old Marquis Cheng looks at Cheng Yujin in surprise. She looks at her eyes, nose and heart, and bows her head to pretend to be a filial daughter. Qingfu frowned, pressed his voice and said, "elder, don't interrupt."

Cheng Yujin's urn answered, "yes."

Cheng Yuanjing says that he really knows how to settle accounts. He doesn't want to get involved in the Cheng family's property. They are hundreds of Liang, but they don't count money in Cheng Yuanjing's eyes. Cheng Yuanjing gently and skillfully kicked the ball back: "Cheng Yujin is right. The elder does not dare to say goodbye. I will take my share together as my make-up for my niece."

Cheng Yujin agreed immediately in her heart. She struggled: "how good is this..."

"No harm." Cheng Yuanjing said and glanced at Cheng Yujin, "the elder does not dare to say goodbye. This is my intention as an uncle."

Cheng Yuanjing takes Cheng Yujin's words to block her. What else can Cheng Yujin say. Cheng Yuanxian and Qingfu's abacus are set fast. Cheng Yuanjing gives Cheng Yujin his share, which is equivalent to two thirds of Cheng's share in Dafang's pocket. It's more cost-effective than equal share. Cheng Yuanxian said with a smile: "the big girl is really sensible. Your nephew is filial and kind. It's a blessing for our Cheng family. Then it's settled. "

Ruan wanted to object, but Cheng Yuanxian robbed him. Ruan's face is not good-looking, but in front of everyone's face, she is not easy to speak, so she can't help complaining about Cheng Yujin's many things in her heart.

Old Marquis Cheng was surprised to see that his royal highness should have such leisure. But it's a good thing that the prince is willing to take care of the Cheng family. Even if it's just a granddaughter, it's better than a complete separation. When Mr. Cheng saw Cheng Yuanjing's attitude, he made some temporary changes in his next words: "you all know the property of the public. You must know how much each family can get. Besides Gongzhong, I have also accumulated some private property over the years. "

Several members of the Cheng family and Mrs. Cheng's ears stand up. The accounts of the Marquis's office flow under the eyes of everyone every day. There is so much money in them that they have been tired of counting for many years. It's easy to calculate the property of the Marquis's mansion in Yichun, but it's hard to say how much private property the two old people have. In these years, old Marquis Cheng is forthright, supporting two families and serving as a scholar. The money under his hand is immeasurable. Now we have to divide the personal property of marquis Cheng. This is what people care about most.Mr. Cheng relieved his breath and said, "in the future, the Marquis's house will be the eldest one. The second one will have sons and daughters, and it won't be possible without a safe house. There is a house in chongjiaofang under my name, which is left to the second family. I have two farms in Wanping. One is more than 400 mu, and the other is 200 mu. The small one is for ER Fang, and the big one is for bao'er's future study. "

Chongjiaofang is next to the Imperial College. The houses here are very convenient. What's rare is that the environment is good. It's always hard to find one. It's not easy to buy a house with three entrances here. Er Fang has two sons, so it's a good way to solve this urgent problem.

Qingfu is also very satisfied. It's useless for her to ask for a new house. Instead, it's the land of the farmhouse, which is the foundation of her life. Qingfu quietly calculated that the 400 mu farm was rented out to farm every year. At the end of the year, how could there be six or seven hundred Liang, not counting the rice, chicken, duck and so on. The house of Er Fang is dead, but the income of Tian Zhuang is alive. What they get is more practical than that of Er Fang. Princess Qingfu immediately smiles.

Mr. Cheng suddenly looked at Cheng Yujin and said, "come here, big girl."

Cheng Yujin was startled and stepped forward slowly: "grandfather."

Marquis Cheng looked at her carefully. After a long time, he sighed, "you've been obedient since you were a child. It's a pity that you've been divorced at the age of marriage negotiation. It's not easy to get married again after you retire. Fortunately, you've got the reward from the God and more money. At this point, maybe you can make your future husband's family value you more. I have two shops in zhengxifang, a glazed shop in xuanbeifang and a manor in Daxing County. They are given to you. Since there is a big girl, the two girls will not fall down. They will give Yu Mo 1000 liang of silver and a box of gold and silver utensils as makeup. There are several shops in Yangzhou, half of which are in big room and half in second room, and another ten hectares in Jinling, all of which are left to Jiulang. I've accumulated four boxes of calligraphy and painting pearls and jades over the years. The eldest, the second and the ninth take one box each, and the remaining one is shared equally by you children. I have another five thousand taels left. Let the old lady arrange it. "

So far, the land, business, collection and cash under the name of marquis Cheng have been settled. The old servant who has served Lord Cheng for many years takes out the title deed and the account book and gives them to each family one by one.

Cheng Yuanxian picked up a book he had given him and was about to open it to see how much money he could get in a year, but Princess Qingfu quietly twisted it. Cheng Yuanxian looked up and saw Princess Qingfu winking at him. He told him to go to see the four boxes of the old Marquis's collection, so as not to be robbed of all the valuable things by the second room.

Ruan's mind is so much that he instructs his two sons to choose the boxes. The children are ignorant, and of course they are more willing to face than adults. As soon as Qingfu sees it, he scolds in his heart and suggests that the nurse holds Cheng enbao in her arms. He also stares at the gate.

Cheng Yujin is not interested in the collection of old Marquis Cheng. All the paintings and calligraphy are dead. It's not as good as having cash on hand. Cheng Yujin has had enough to see if she can spend it. She is even more curious about the income of the three shops that Lord Cheng has given her.

How many old servants are there left for you, young lady

Cheng Jinyu said with a smile, "my younger sister. Let them choose first. When they get what they like, I'll take the rest. "

The old servant looked at Cheng Yujin in surprise. The first one took advantage. This is the truth that three-year-old children all know. Cheng Yujin was so generous to give it to her younger brother and sister. The old servant admired him very much and praised him from the bottom of his heart: "the first lady is really sensible, worthy of being the elder sister."

Cheng Yujin modest smile: "where, is the grandfather taught well."

She complimented her elders subconsciously. After that, she realized that she had missed someone, so she said very smoothly: "thanks to Uncle Jiu's words and deeds. I'm deeply pitied by my elders. Every day I see how my grandfather treats people, how my ninth uncle is upright and strict, and how he is close to Zhu. I'm lucky to learn something from my grandfather and ninth uncle. "

Cheng Yuanjing can't help glancing at Cheng Yujin again. He can see what Cheng Yujin sees. Cheng Yujin gently smiles at Yuan Jing, holding her hands and standing beside her.

Old Marquis Cheng was also very moved when he heard Cheng Yujin's words. He couldn't help but think that his two sons, even old lady Cheng, ran to grab things when they heard about dividing up his collection. Only Cheng Yujin continued to guard in front of him. Her filial piety and understanding far exceeded other people in the family. Marquis Cheng sighed, but now there was no one. He motioned to the servant and said, "go and get my red sandalwood box."

The servant was shocked: "Lord Hou, that's your emergency money. Just in case."

"Nothing." Old Marquis Cheng didn't care and said, "when I'm my age, I'll die soon. What else can I do. It's better to leave it to the younger generation. At least it can be used. "

The old servant could not help but go to the Marquis with a sigh. After a while, he came back from the inner room, holding out a heavy wooden box. The wood of that box is exquisite. It's superior red sandalwood. It's very heavy. Cheng Yujin was curious about what was put in it when she heard Lord Cheng call his name: "big girl."

Cheng Yujin was really surprised: "grandfather, you call me?""Yes." Mr. Cheng nodded with a smile and motioned to her, "go and get it."

Cheng Yujin took it. As soon as she started, the wooden box sank. Cheng Yujin almost had some difficulty holding it. Mr. Cheng took out a key from his pillow and said, "this is the gold I have prepared in case of accident. It's no use now. I'll leave it to you. "

Cheng Yujin took a quick look at Cheng Yuanjing and said, "how is this good? I'm 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, so the men's family should rely on themselves to fight for the future. They always rely on their ancestors and elders to make a difference." Mr. Cheng said, "but you are different. First of all, you are a daughter's family. You always have to get married. Once you get married, you will become a member of someone else's family. It's very different from being in your mother's family. Second, although you are the eldest daughter, but after all, it is adoptive. If you are wronged in your husband's family in the future, it is not easy to find someone to stand out. I can't take care of you for a long time, so I'll leave you more money to do my duty as an elder. "

So much heavy gold, once in Cheng Yujin's hand, she didn't want to give it out. Now, with Mr. Cheng's words, she pretended to be in a dilemma and accepted them with half a push: "thank you for your kindness."

Mr. Cheng has said so many things, but he has not been able to use his energy for a long time, and now he has been hanging all at once. Cheng Yujin can see that Marquis Cheng is tired, and he must have something to say with Cheng Yuanjing. She was very witty and said, "I've bothered my grandfather for a long time. My granddaughter doesn't disturb my grandfather's rest, so my granddaughter leaves. Uncle nine, my niece will leave first. "

As soon as she turns around, Cheng Yujin stares at Du Ruo and asks her to carry the food box she sent to her. When Cheng Yujin went out, she specially closed the door for the people inside, which was more intimate than words.

After closing the door, Cheng Yujin's face changed immediately. She took Duro to the compartment and said in a low voice, "take the sandwich off the inside of the box and put the sandalwood box in. When you carry it, don't show any difference. It's empty. "

Du Ruo also understood, and nodded. But she was just injured by Cheng enbao today. She was a little stiff when she lifted the food box. Cheng Yujin saw it and said, "forget it. Give it to me."

"Girl, how can that be done?"

"Why not." Cheng Yujin said, "give it to me. If you insist on it, it's worse to be seen."

Du Ruo knew how important it was. Lord Cheng didn't intend to give the gold to Cheng Yujin, but because Cheng Yujin stayed in the end, he touched Lord Cheng and got this unexpected fortune. However, it's not necessarily a good thing to have too much money in a big house. If Princess Qingfu or Mrs. Cheng knows that Marquis Cheng left the money to his granddaughter, Cheng Yujin, instead of bypassing his two sons and three grandsons, I'm afraid it's not good. At that time, in order to protect herself, Cheng Yujin had to give these things to her elders.

Therefore, the gold, in any case, can not be known by Qingfu, Ruan and others. If Du didn't insist, she was worried: "girl, this food box is heavy. Can you carry it?"

"I can't lift it." Cheng Yujin chuckled, "as long as it's gold, no matter how heavy it is, I can lift it."

Du Ruo had nothing to say.
