When Gu Jiu returned to the Gu Mansion, the Xie family was still making noise.
Mrs. Xie scolded Mrs. Hu and his son Gu Cheng.
She said that the couple were unfilial, and she wanted to divorce the Hu family.
Mrs. Hu cried hard and complained about her grievances. However, the stimulation made Mrs. Xie even more insane, and directed all his anger at Mrs. Hu.
It wasn't until Gu Jiu entered the side door of Gu's mansion that Master Gu stepped forward to stop Xie from continuing to flare up.
"Go back to the room for me. Without my order, you can take care of it and don't come out."
Mrs. Xie's eyes widened, "Master, for the sake of my daughter-in-law, I've lost face, do you still have a conscience?"
Master Gu scolded the servants angrily, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly drag your wife down, and don't allow her to leave the hospital."
Without any hesitation, the maids dragged Mrs. Xie away.
Mrs. Xie made a fuss, so the maid boldly blocked Mrs. Xie's mouth.
This is what Gu Jiu saw.
She opened her mouth, trying to say something. In the end, he still acted as if he hadn't seen anything, so he had to save enough face for Mr. Gu and Gu Teng.
Master Gu was still glaring at King Kong one moment, and the next second the spring breeze warms the sun.
"Xiao Jiu is back, go to the flower hall to drink tea."
"Father, don't be polite to your daughter."
Gu Jiu came back today because the Gu family was about to split up, and she came to be a witness.
Mr. Gu left his last words, after the filial piety, the family will be separated, and the family will not be separated.
After the filial piety period, it is up to them whether the eldest family and the second family will continue to live together, or live separately in Befu.
Because of Xie's disturbance, there was a delay in time.
Fortunately, the account books are clear, the property accounts are consistent, and there is no Xie family to disturb the situation, so the division of the family is very fast.
As a witness, Gu Jiu sat in a row with the old Mrs. Hou Ye and several clan relatives of the Hou Mansion.
A stack of ledgers lay on the table.
Old Master Hou asked Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu and his two brothers, "Do you have any questions about these books?"
Master Gu shook his head, "There is no doubt about it."
Mr. Gu also said that he had no doubts.
As early as ten days ago, the big house moved out the account book and asked Mr. Gu to check the account. After checking the accounts clearly and confirming that there is no problem, the family can be separated.
Master Gu has dispatched all the stewards around him these days to check all the properties that Gu's family has bought in the capital.
The silver and objects in the treasury of the government were also compared against the ledger.
It has to be said that Mrs. Zhang is an expert in financial management.
Ten or twenty years of hard work has doubled the property of the Gu family.
Mr. Gu was very happy, and even joked about Mr. Gu, "Brother married a good wife, and I really envy my younger brother."
In the end, Mr. Gu ranted against him, "At the beginning, my mother also married a good wife for you, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it. Later, you were the one who married Mrs. Xie. No matter whether she is virtuous or not, you have to bear it.
After all, Mrs. Xie kept filial piety for her parents and gave birth to children for you. For the sake of the children, you have to give her a little dignity. "
When Mr. Gu heard the words, he felt a strong bitterness in his heart.
The mute eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't tell if he suffers, this is what he understands.
When he was working in the local government, Mrs. Xie was good in everything, and he also loved her very much.
When he returned to the capital, all the shortcomings of Xie's lack of foundation were exposed.
Coupled with her preference for Gu Yue, she repeatedly made troubles because of Gu Yue, Mrs. Gu herself was miserable, but she had nowhere to tell.
He was really speechless after hearing what his elder brother said to him.
"Brother, don't laugh at younger brother."
"It's not a joke, but a serious reminder." Mr. Gu was serious and definitely not a joke.
Master Gu frowned slightly.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but said a few more words, "I know you don't like Xie Shi, and even hate her. You can detain her and prevent her from going out to socialize, but you can't divorce her. She keeps filial piety for her parents, and belongs to the three-no out.
You can't condone the concubine's room to humiliate her. After all, she is the mistress and represents the decency of the children. All in all, take good care of your backyard. Don't make a fuss too much. Be careful that the censor will catch you and impeach you severely.
Now Xiaojiu is the prince's wife, her status is precious and eye-catching. As the prince and father-in-law, you are also eye-catching. If you don't cultivate your inner self and make gossip, you will not only ruin your own reputation, but also implicate Xiao Jiu and His Royal Highness. At that time, the royal family will be ruthless, fearing that the relatives will deny them. "
Because of Mr. Gu's honest words, Mr. Gu is not in a good mood these days.
Mrs. Xie didn't know how to be considerate, and seized the opportunity to make a fuss, and secretly went to the farm to visit Gu Yue.
Mr. Gu was furious, so naturally he would not be polite to Mrs. Xie.
He held back his anger until now, when the family was about to be separated, Mr. Gu was in a better mood.
Seeing that the two of them had no doubts about the account book, Lao Hou discussed with several witnesses how to divide the family.
How to divide the details, Mr. Gu actually explained in his last words.
Just take care of the old man's last words and deal with it.
However, before the official separation of the family, the old Hou Ye still had to say a few words: "The eldest son is the head of the lineage. If he wants to inherit the clan and take care of the clan members, he should share an extra 30%. Zhili, do you have any opinions?"
Mr. Gu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "May I ask you, Uncle, what is the specific method? Big Brother is 60% and I am 40%? Or is Big Brother 70% and I am 30%?"
Old Hou Ye stroked his beard and said, "Sixty-five percent of the first room, and 35% of your second room."
Master Gu frowned, "My old man didn't write like this in his suicide note."
Old Hou Ye knew that he would have such a question, "Submit my brother's suicide note."
When the suicide note was presented, it was placed on the table for anyone to read.
Old Hou Ye said sternly: "My younger brother wrote in the suicide note that after the two of you brothers are filial piety, the family will be divided, and the division of the family can be done according to the rules of the clan. Zhili, do you know what the family division is? ?”
Master Gu lowered his head and remained silent, he was a little unwilling.
The old Hou Ye answered for him, "In the family division charter, the eldest son can get 80% of the family property at most, and at least 60% to 70%. I asked your elder brother for advice in advance. Your elder brother said that your second family has a large population and the burden is heavy. Divide the family property according to the most 65% standard. When the old man separated from your father, it was also divided in the same way."
Mr. Gu was a little aggrieved, "Just because the elder brother is the eldest son, he can get an extra 30% of the family business."
Old Hou Ye said: "The eldest son did not get 30% of the family fortune for nothing. After the family is separated, you only need to take care of your own family, and you don't have to worry about other things.
Your elder brother not only has to take care of his own family, but also his clansmen. If the clan has something to do, the money should be paid, and there is no excuse.
The eldest son assumed the responsibility of taking care of the clansmen, so he deserved more family property. Just like the old man, I have taken care of you two brothers all these years, donated money and energy, and never complained. "
Master Gu looked at Gu Jiu, hoping that Gu Jiu would come forward and fight for some benefits for Erfang.
Gu Jiu coughed softly, "I don't know how the dowry is planned for the unmarried younger brothers and sisters in the mansion? Is it to be borne by each house or the public?"
The old Hou Ye said: "A few unmarried children need dowry and bride price. According to the original rules, when the property is divided, their share will be set aside, and our Hou Mansion will take care of it. When the children need to use the money When the time comes, just let me know.”
Gu Jiu nodded, "That's great. I have no doubts."
Master Gu's eyes widened, staring at Gu Jiu.
that's it
This is the end
absurd!
How much dowry and bride price for several children
Why not fight for 50% and 10% of the family assets for Erfang.
Gu Jiu turned a blind eye to Master Gu's gaze.
Since Mr. Gu left a suicide note stating that the division of the family should be done according to the rules of the clan, Gu Jiu didn't intend to intervene.
Besides, Mr. Gu sacrificed his life to save Mr. Hui Hui and his official career. Just talking about Mr. Gu's contribution alone is more than 30% of the family's fortune.
Mr. Gu can't be greedy and greedy.
Mr. Gu failed to ask Gu Jiu for help, and felt very depressed.
He looked at his sons again.
However, on such an occasion, there is no room for the younger generation to speak. They can only watch, learn, and accumulate experience.
It can be said that the voice of the brothers in the Gu family is not as good as that of Gu Jiu, a married woman.
Who made Gu Jiu the prince's wife, with a noble status.
After the division ratio is determined, the division officially begins.
First, it is divided into farms, then into shops, then into houses and mansions, and finally gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, and various collections in warehouses. After distributing these, we are distributing the servants.
Don't look at the old Hou Ye who speaks slowly, but does things very quickly.
In less than two hours, Gu's property was distributed.
The accountant writes the bills and redoes the account books, and the clerks of the yamen gate prepare the separation documents, which are signed and pledged by Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu respectively.
Old Hou Ye, as an elder and a witness, also signed the document.
Several other clan members also signed the documents one after another.
Gu Jiu didn't.
Gu Jiu has a special status, her seal is not suitable for appearing on the separation documents.
The clerk of the yamen completed the registration and said: "The lower official will leave. After finishing the formalities tomorrow, the lower official will send someone to send it to the two masters."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Not hard."
When the separation was over, everyone was relieved.
Master Gu came to Mr. Gu and patted him on the shoulder, "We are always brothers. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. As long as my brother can help, I will never refuse."
Mr. Gu's anger is not going well, but it is not easy to attack Mr. Gu, "I would like to thank you for your kindness first. I hope that there will be no day when you ask for your brother."
Mr. Gu nodded, and didn't care about Mr. Gu.
Brother, he knows Master Gu's temper too well. Arguing with Mr. Gu is purely to embarrass himself.
Mr. Gu didn't like to embarrass himself, so he didn't care about it generously.
"Your second room in the mansion will continue to live, don't be restrained. As soon as you use it, separate slowly, don't rush for a while."
Mr. Gu didn't appreciate it, "Don't worry, brother, I will ask Gu Cheng's wife to tear up the inner courtyard in a while. Since the family is separated, once the expenses are used, it is natural for each to bear the burden."
Grandpa Gu smiled, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, it's all according to your wishes."
Master Gu is not happy again. What does it mean to follow his will, the elder brother and his family wish to be clearer.
Eldest brother is a good person, but he is that wicked person, it's really irritating.
In front of his elder brother, Mr. Gu subconsciously played with his temper. Even he himself didn't realize it.
The more Mr. Gu doesn't care about him, the more he will play petty temper. used to him!
Old Hou Ye beckoned and told Gu Jiu to come to his side and talk.
"Would it be too embarrassing for all your highnesses to live in the palace?"
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm tired of the old master, the old lady is worried, it's my grandniece's fault. Except for the change of status, it's actually not much different from the past. Everyone still lives in their own courtyards, and all expenses are paid by Support from the public office. All the managers perform their own duties, and the master of the family orders properly. Compared with the past, it is two points more comfortable."
The old lady Wei laughed, "I just said that no matter what the environment, Xiao Jiu can manage her life well. Without the elders in the mansion, you are naturally more comfortable. But you can't be too comfortable, Beware of imperial censor impeachment. Those imperial censors like impeaching princes the most."
Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, "My niece and granddaughter will remember the old lady's teachings, and she will handle everything properly."
The old lady Wei was very happy, and said to the old Hou Ye: "I have already said that among the girls in our Gu family, only Xiaojiu is the most capable and beautiful. Don't you think so?"
Old Hou Ye hummed a few times, but he couldn't help it, so he said: "If Xiao Jiu was a man, our Gu family might be able to go one step further."
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Old Master Hou has beaten me, my granddaughter is not capable of that."
"You are a daughter, but you don't give in to a man. If you are reborn as a man, you will definitely make immortal achievements and shine on the family lintel."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, and said modestly: "Old Hou Ye is absurd, I just think more than others."
"Too modest!"
The old lady Wei said: "Xiao Jiu's status is not ordinary now, it's better to be humble. Being humble is not to be hated or hated by others."
The old master went to say, "Xiao Jiu is so outstanding, even if she is humble, she will inevitably be hated by others. It is better to show her strength and make people fear her. Xiao Jiu, you have to remember that it is better to be jealous than to be hated. Women's soft methods are not suitable for you. When you should be tough, you can't admit cowardice."
Gu Jiu smiled.
What Old Hou Ye said spoke to her heart.
"I listen to the old master, and I will never admit that I am cowardly outside, and I will not embarrass the Gu family."
"Don't embarrass Your Highness."
"Of course."
…
In the past, the family order of the Shaofu always believed that the rich were uncles and ancestors, and everyone had to make sacrifices.
But in the past year, reality has taught him to be a man.
The man who is rich is the uncle, and the one who owes money is the uncle.
Especially those who owe millions and continue to borrow and owe, are the uncles of the uncles. He had to enshrine the other party like an ancestor.
This time, Gu Jiu sat in a quiet room in the Shaofu yamen, drinking tea face to face with the Shaofu Jialing.
Ever since we met, Shaofu's family order has been blowing his beard and staring.
Gu Jiu drank half a cup of tea and boasted, "The tea is good, this year's new tea."
"You can drink."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Ji Yi Qi nourishes Yi body, I have been married to Your Highness for so many years, I have cultivated a bit of royal demeanor anyway."
"There is no one like you in the royal family."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Tell me, my ancestor, what kind of person am I?"
"Eat people without spitting out their bones." The Shaofu family order complained loudly with grief and indignation.
Gu Jiu nodded, "I reluctantly accept this. The old ancestor is so aggressive and sexual, so he just asked you to borrow money. I don't worry about anyone who borrows money, so why worry about you."
The Shaofu family order shook his beard, "You have already borrowed several million taels, with interest on the principal, so hurry up and pay it back."
Gu Jiu sighed, "I don't have any money, what can I give you back?"
The Shaofu family ordered the blood to rush to the top of his head, "That's not what you said when you borrowed the money. You made a promise back then that you would pay back the money on time."
Gu Jiu spread his hands, "So I asked my ancestors to borrow money. If you lend me money, the construction project will continue. The first payment will be due next month, and I will repay you with interest as promised."
The Shaofu family order snorted, "No money, no loan!"
Gu Jiu sighed quietly, "If my ancestors don't lend me money, the project outside the South City Gate will be shut down. Once the work is stopped, the refugees will have no money to eat, and no one will buy a house. The entire South City Gate will become a pool of stagnant water in an instant. .
I owe the Shaofu Bank more than four million taels with principal and interest, and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in my life. The person who took over the order could not be found in a short time. Or I will sell Liu Zhao to the Shaofu to repay the debt. "
The Shaofu family order was furious, "You are threatening!"
Gu Jiu looked innocent, "I'm just telling the truth. If my ancestor insists on thinking that I'm a threat, I have no choice but to admit it."
The Shaofu's family order pointed at Gu Jiu, "You, you, you, you are playing a rogue with the old man. You owe money to the Shaofu, but you are still justified, it is unreasonable."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "The old ancestor quickly approved the note and lent me the money. With the money, the project can continue and I can repay the money I borrowed last year."
Shaofu's family ordered a mouthful of old blood to spurt out.
He figured it out, he was completely kidnapped by Gu Jiu, and tied to her big ship called Nanchengmenwai Project.
If he doesn't borrow money, the ship will sink.
Shaofu's family order shed bitter tears, regretting the beginning.
Why did he believe in Gu Jiu's evil back then, and got on her boat.
