Two years ago, Lord Meng and Zhou returned to Beijing. They got a letter from the old man and came back from their hometown. As for Meng Guangpeng's generation, they did not call back.

I haven't seen them for three years. Ruhui thinks Zhou has changed a lot. The most obvious performance is that the clothes are also changed into bright colors such as bright red, which is not the same as the old colors like green and red sandalwood.

When Ruhui saw her like this, she thought that she still needed to change her environment. This is not, the Zhou family came out of the shadow of the past.

Because Meng Shangshu retreated, there were fewer posts in the mansion, and the social intercourse was naturally reduced. Similarly, this part of the expenditure has been saved. To the Lantern Festival, there are more than two thousand liang of silver on the book.

After the Lantern Festival, Lord Meng called Lord Meng and Lord Meng RAHI to the upper court.

All three of Siyin's brothers and sisters fell asleep before mengrahi came back. Look, some are not good-looking.

Ruhui asked, "what? But what's wrong with it? " This time, the old man asked them to go there. He should only talk about the separation of families. The specific estimate is not so fast. There should be no dispute.

"No, it's very smooth. Uncle and uncle agree to separate. It's just that I'm in a panic. " Always looking forward to the separation, but really to this step of the mood is extremely heavy.

Ruhui comforted him and asked, "does the old man say something about the separation?" I'm afraid that the old lady is not willing to let them all move out.

Well, mengrahi said, "the old man means to separate the family first, and then we will move out after their two immortals die. But after the separation, each room is in charge of its own. " The old lady likes to be busy. I'm afraid she can't stand it if she leaves.

"The old man is most afraid to leave. It's very good that he doesn't separate his family from his production." She's trying to move out, but she certainly won't. After all, he was raised by Mr. Meng's husband and wife. He has deep feelings for the two old people.

Seeing that Ruhui didn't say he wanted to move out, mengrahi was relieved. But he knew very well that Ruhui didn't like the fact that big house had always wanted to move out.

It's good to live alone outside, but he can't bear the old man and the old lady.

After the first month, the Meng family called all the people over. Ruhui also followed.

Meng Shangshu asked the housekeeper to read all the property in the house and said, "this house and the sacrificial field are both ancestral property, not divided. The other industry leaders get 70%, and the remaining two houses are divided equally with three houses. "

The old man treated his three sons equally and did not lay particular stress on anyone. This industry is fairly divided. However, the Meng family is not a rich family with limited industries. Apart from a house, a shop and 500 mu of good farmland, the second and third houses have 6000 liang of silver.

It looks like a lot, but two rooms and three houses have a lot of heirs. It's even on everyone's head, very few. This is also the reason why Ruhui is unwilling to fight. It's better to spend your mind on business than on planning your family's industry, so that you can earn more.

Monsieur Meng and Arashi have no opinions on this, so the separation is smooth.

However, mengrahi did not take the title deed and the title deed to transfer the ownership, but found mengshangshu and said that he would let the second house also be divided.

There are no elders in the second room, only three brothers. But in those days, Meng RAHI never gave aunt GUI and brother Meng Guangshu a good face. Even now, he has not changed his attitude. So when the Meng family split, he couldn't wait to get rid of the Meng Guangshu family.

Meng Shangshu never liked the two brothers. Now there are no elders in the second room, and there is nothing wrong with menrahi's separation. Meng Shangshu nodded and said, "if you want to share it, you can share it." He has learned a lot. He knows how to do many things.

When he got the consent of mengshangshu, he called mengguangshu's two brothers and told them about the separation.

"You know what kind of property the second house is going to have today, when it's going to be separated," he said. Now, let's divide these things! "

Meng Guangshu said: "three elder brothers, can you divide them?" When we split up, we have to rely on ourselves.

The family didn't pour any resources into their two brothers, so Meng Guangshu is only a scholar until now. And his brother Meng Guanghong is still white.

When Meng Guangshu was 18 years old and once again failed, he felt that there was no result in further examination, so he went to ask the old lady.

The old lady was most soft hearted. For the sake of her second son, she told Meng Shangshu about it. Before long, Meng Guangshu was a scribe in yingtianfu Yamen. After all these years, I also got a promotion.

The more you stay in yamen, the more you know how deep the water is. If you don't have some background and are said to be able to get along in the yamen, it's hard to keep your jobs.

Mengrahi glanced at him and said, "if our parents are not here, we are the three. Now we are all married and live together for many affairs. " It is impossible for him to be willing to support the two brothers of mengguangshu.

Meng Guanghong said in a strange voice: "brother, what do you ask him for? He wanted us to get out of here for a long time. Now, if he had a chance, he would never miss it. "

Mengrahi ignored mengguanghong and said to mengguangshu, "I will give you 70% of these industries. Houses and shops have been priced. What do you want? "

Hearing this, Meng Guangshu looked up at Meng RAHI. In the Ming Dynasty, great importance was attached to the legitimate but little to the common people, so many families sent money to settle down after the common people got married. Like the Korean government, that's what it does. And it was a loss to their brother that he divided his inheritance into three parts.

As a result, Meng Guanghong said: "if the third brother is really generous, he should divide these industries equally. Anyway, sister-in-law three has money, which is not bad. But after our brothers, we have to live on these industries. "

Meng Guangshu's face is black: "shut up for me."

He did not give Meng Guanghong one of his eyes, but said to Meng Guangshu, "go back and think about it, and reply to me when you have considered it."

Meng Guangshu nodded, "OK." With that, Meng Guanghong was dragged out.

Ruhui is in the inner room, listening to the conversation clearly. When the two brothers left, Ruhui came out and said, "don't be angry. Meng Guangshu is a clear man." As for Meng Guanghong, she didn't pay attention to her at all. Up to now, I can't recognize my position. I will fall down sooner or later without the protection of the Meng family.

"I'm not angry." You don't need to be angry with them. If not for fame, he didn't want to give Meng Guanghong a cent of silver.

Even if he is not angry, he will be in a bad mood. In order to make him happy, Ruhui said, "I haven't been to Fortune Restaurant for dinner for a long time. I'll go out to Babao duck and sauce pig's hoof tomorrow!"

Mengrahi shook his head and said, "it's not appropriate to have just finished dividing the house. If you want, I'll buy two tomorrow and bring them back. "

Such as Hui chuckle: "two which is enough? You can eat one by yourself. " Half a boy, I'm poor. Although the group brother is less than ten years old, the food is not small.

Speaking of his children, mengrahi was in a good mood: "then buy four." That's to say, the sauce pig's hooves are so expensive. If you have four, you'll have to get rid of the salary for half a month. But now he has no scruples about buying anything.

When he came back the next day, he brought four pig feet with sauce. When the group saw him, they were so happy that they showed their white teeth.

At this time, the servant girl replied that the two brothers of mengguangshu had come.

Ruhui took some children into the inner room.

He was surprised to see the color on both brothers' faces. Obviously, they must have had a fight since they went back yesterday.

"What did you decide?"

Meng Guangshu said: "three elder brothers, I want a house, plus a hundred acres of good land. Third brother, I'll make up the money for you. "

In order to avoid trouble, Meng Shangshu valued all the industries he was going to divide. The property and silver shared by the second house are about 20000 Liang. In this way, each of Meng Guangshu's brothers can only get 3000 Liang silver. And the price of the three-way house plus a hundred mu of paddy field is 4700 Liang.

The reason why mengguangshu wanted the house and the land is very simple. With the house, there would be a place. Moreover, the house has a good location and is large, and it can be opened when there are children and grandchildren. But the farmland is dry and waterlogged, and the paddy field in the countryside can't be bought with money.

Mengrahi asked mengguanghong, "what about you?"

"I want a shop, plus a hundred acres of paddy field. I'll supply you with the bad money. "

Mengrahi nodded his head and said, "yes. You will give me the difference tomorrow morning, and I will go to Yamen with you to transfer the property. "

In fact, he suffered a lot from such a separation. But the most important thing for the official is reputation. If he wants to go far in his official career, he can't bear the name of treating his brother severely because of 800 Liang silver.

Ruhui asked him, "can they really get such a large amount of money?"

"I don't know," he said. Should be able, if not take out, house and shop will not give them naturally If Hui's dowry has a five in house, it's not only well built but also very elegant, which is very popular with mengrahi. In addition, the house is close to Yamen. So when Meng Guangshu wanted to stay in the mansion, he agreed if he didn't want to.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Guangshu and his brothers gave Meng RAHI a box of gold ingots.

After confirming that the gold was real and the quantity was right, mengrahi took them to Yamen to handle the transfer.

Looking at these gold ingots, Ruhui said with some emotion, "aunt GUI is really hidden!" You should know that Aunt GUI is famous for her thrift in the mansion these years, and she is reluctant to throw away her clothes when they are washed white. But I didn't expect to hold such a large amount of money.

"Yes," said the ear! These years, she also took her own embroidery to sell! I also thought that she was really short of money! "

Ruhui smiled and said, "if not, she would not be able to protect the gold." Fortunately, Meng Er died early. If not, aunt GUI would not be so comfortable with her life in Meng's house.

PS: no one took the children in the afternoon. He didn't start writing until his father came back from work. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
