After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The separation of the big family is not like a small family, where one person can leave with a rattan basket.

Not to mention a family like the Rongguo Mansion, even ordinary squires and brothers who separate their families, they have to ask the elders of the clan, as well as well-known impartial people in the nearby villages to help preside over it.

Therefore, Rongguo Mansion said on the first day that the family would be separated, but on the second day, the whole family gathered in the clan's ancestral hall.

But during this day, Jia Amnesty was not idle.

He insisted on taking away the keys to the treasury, and led his confidantes to sort through all the items in the public treasury, and gave them all the things that belonged to the public treasury but somehow became Shi's or Wang's private property. Asked to come back.

——For Jia Amnesty, his face has been torn anyway, so he doesn't have to worry too much about his mother's face.

Of course, if Mrs. Shi had the face to speak out about this matter in public, then he wouldn't mind giving up these things in exchange for a reputation of filial piety.

But obviously, Mother Jia likes to use filial piety to suppress him on weekdays, but she is sure that she will not really do anything to her.

After Jia Amnesty showed her characteristic of being "not stingy", Jia's mother subconsciously threw the rat's weapon, fearing that she would not hit the mouse, but hurt the jade bottle.

Therefore, even though she was about to vomit blood in her heart, when Jia Amnesty asked her for something from the public account book, she obediently gave it.

——No way.

Whenever she dared to say something dizzy, Jia She immediately yelled at people to stop, saying that she was going to face the saint tomorrow morning.

After one or two times, Shi Shi no longer dared to be a monster.history

After being pressed down, Wang didn't dare to challenge him anymore, and obediently returned all the greedy things.

Several of them are still in Jia Zheng's study.

This made Jia Zheng feel ashamed, and disregarded that there were still many servants present, he made a noise out of Wang's face.

Wang Shigen's heart ached, and he wished he could pounce on Jia Zheng's face.

——You didn't say anything when you took things to display, but now that something has happened, you know it's time to lose face.Why did she marry such an irresponsible trash?

Jia Amnesty didn't care about the lawsuit between their husband and wife, after taking away all the things that should be taken, he went back with the account book.

On the second day, when Jia Zhen and the clan elders gathered in the ancestral hall, Jia Amnesty had already arrived with a stack of account books.

Jia's mother and Jia Zheng didn't dare to provoke him anymore, and they all came obediently after a while.

The separation of the family had already been discussed by the two parties, and Jia Zhen just asked again in front of the clan elders, just going through the motions.

The most important thing is the distribution of family property.

According to the patriarchal law, all the inheritance belonging to Duke Rong's lineage belonged to Jia She, the eldest son, including the money left by the first Duke Rong who was about to be returned to his wife.

Of course, because the sage had already forgiven this part of the debt, Jia's mother was very dissatisfied with this, and insisted that the money should be counted in the public and shared with Jia Zheng.

And it seems that those clan elders also have the same meaning.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help sneering, and said sarcastically: "You don't really think that you can really not pay back the money you owe the royal family, do you?"

Everyone choked for a moment, and no one dared to give this guarantee.

After all, everyone has basically figured out the temperament of today's saints.

This is no old sage, and he might find a high-sounding excuse to make them spit out the money at some point.

Jia Zhen looked around for a week, and said directly: "This money belongs to the royal family, we only keep it temporarily, and no one can touch it!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of clan elders immediately shut up.

After all, who would dare to rob the royal family for money?

Shi didn't mention it anymore, but turned around and demanded that when dividing the company's financial affairs, the two brothers should be divided [-]-[-].

Seeing that she still dared to jump, Jia She couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and Jia Zhen also looked at her inexplicably, and asked, "Is the old lady ignoring the patriarchal clan?"

His patriarch's seniority is too low, and the patriarchal clan is his greatest reliance, so he will naturally not tolerate others breaking the patriarchal clan.

Shi Shi said: "Zheng'er is also a legitimate son, and he has to support the family. As long as the boss is willing, the two brothers can share the family property equally, so why not?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jia She immediately said, "But I don't want to."

Seeing that Shi Shi was still messing around, Jia She suddenly sneered and said loudly: "I still have an account here, I ask all the elders to look at it."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands lightly, and Jia Hu trotted out immediately, and after a while, he came back with a book that was three fingers thick.

"My lord, the ledger."

Jia Amnesty lifted his chin slightly, motioning for him to hand over the account book to Jia Zhen.

Jia Hu quickly walked over to Jia Zhen and handed over the account book: "Brother Zhen, please take a look."

Jia Zhen turned the pages in some doubts, and her face quickly became serious.

He turned his head and took a deep look at Wang Shi, the meaningful eyes made her feel "thud" in her heart, suddenly it seemed that fifteen buckets were fetching water - up and down.

Jia Zhen turned backwards slowly, and it took about a quarter of an hour to finish turning completely.

Then, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and passed it to a clan elder beside him: "You also have a look."

That clan had long guessed that there was a lot to be said for this account book when they saw his expression just now.

However, when he actually saw the contents inside, he was still stunned.

But at the beginning, his expression was okay, until he turned to the last two pages, his face suddenly turned livid, and he turned his head to look at Wang's eyes, wishing he could swallow her alive!

"Stupid woman, stupid woman!"

After several clan elders passed the account book around, such shouts and curses kept coming and going.

Jia Zhen glanced at Jia Zheng, who was bewildered and didn't know why, raised her hand and threw the account book to him, and said with a sneer, "Second Uncle Zheng, let's take a good look at it. Heh, even if Uncle Amnesty is willing to give [-]% of the family property, you Do you still have a face?"

Just now when Jia She said that he would not give it, the clan elders were still muttering in their hearts, thinking that he had no regard for brotherhood.

But at this moment, they felt that if Jia Amnesty was willing to share [-]% of Jia Zheng's property, that would be the utmost benevolence!

Jia Zheng was annoyed at being treated like this by a junior.But the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages made him subconsciously dare not make a fuss, but honestly held the account book and looked at it.

"This this……"

The records in this account book are all the public finances that the Wang family borrowed from the housekeeper to corrupt ink.

Jia Zheng's face turned red and then pale, but when he read the last two pages, his face suddenly turned gray, and only two words remained in his heart: It's over!

It turned out that what was recorded on the last two pages was that the Wang family united with the Jinling Xue family to resell the sacrificial land purchased by the Rongguo Mansion.

Speaking of what was recorded earlier, those clan elders read it and were just amazed at Wang's boldness, but in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with them.

However, the sacrificial field is the output of the public property of the clan every year, and they can all share the benefits from it.

——In the final analysis, these clan elders will be desperate only if they care about their own vital interests.

Otherwise, most of them are still muddy.

Because neither Jia Amnesty nor Jia Zheng wanted to offend.

No matter what Jia Zheng said, he was also an official appointed by the court, and he could still share a large amount of family property. Who can guarantee that Jia Zheng will not be asked?

However, when they knew that the Wang family had encroached on their due interests, they all became "disinterested". The privately sold sacrificial land was redeemed.

This time, even Mother Jia couldn't speak well.

Whenever she said something threatening, some clan elders hinted: Although Duke Rong has gone, the clan can still divorce his wife on his behalf.

Shi Shi didn't accept this, and said with a sneer, "I sent away the double mother-in-law, even if the Duke of Xian is alive, he can't divorce me!"

When Wang heard this, her eyes lit up, and she also said: "Yes, I have filial piety for the old Duke."

This is nothing to fear.

The elder who spoke was choked by them, his face flushed red.

But before Shi Shi could shake again, Jia Zhen said coolly: "I don't know if I send these evidences to the Shi family and the Wang family, are they willing to break with the Jia family for the sake of the two?"

Shi's pupils shrank, and he shut up unwillingly.

Now the historian is not the father and brother who loves her, but the second nephew who is not very close to her.Moreover, historians have not been doing well in recent years, so they are naturally unwilling to confront the thriving Jia family.

Mrs. Wang felt that her stepmother, Mrs. Zhen, would not ignore her.But the Zhen family had already fallen, and could not pose any threat to the Jia family.

The second elder brother Wang Ziteng joined the army this time, but he did a lot of credit.But the problem is that even though Wang Ziteng is her brother of the same father and mother, under the instigation of his sister-in-law Shi Shi, he is not close to her at all, and he will definitely not stand up for her.

Both their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law compromised. Jia Zheng was disappointed but didn't dare to say anything at all. He had to follow their wishes and only got [-]% of the family property, and he had to redeem all the sacrificed land within three months. .

Jia She said: "The five-entry house behind the Rongguo Mansion was also given to you. You are given five days to move out of my Ronghou Mansion."

Shi Shi keenly sensed the meaning of his words, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean? What Ronghou Mansion?"

Jia She glanced at her indifferently, cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and said, "I have invited the saints to remove the plaque of the Rongguo Mansion and replace it with a veritable Ronghou Mansion. Speaking of which, tomorrow morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites It's coming."

"By the way," he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Jia Zheng, "Rongxi Hall was given to the old Duke by the Tai-zu to live in, and it is considered illegal in the Houfu. I can’t afford it. So, before the officials from the Ministry of Rites arrive, it’s better for the second brother to vacate the Rongxi Hall as soon as possible.”

Jia Zheng felt that he had been greatly humiliated, but he would not dare to let him disobey the holy order if he had a hundred courage.

"Yes, I'll clean up when I get back." Jia Zheng consciously endured the humiliation.

But they don't know, seeing him being so condescending, not only Jia She and Jia Zhen look down on him even more, even the clan elders also look down on him.

Jia Zhen said: "In that case, let's all leave."

As soon as his words fell, Jia Zheng walked away first.

Jia Zhu, who had been standing beside Jia Zheng in embarrassment, smiled dryly and bowed to the crowd, stepped forward and supported Jia's mother with Wang's left and right, and left.

Jia She raised his eyebrows at their backs, and cupped his hands at the clan elders: "Everyone, my family is still in chaos, so I'm leaving."

Everyone returned the gift, and when he left, some people murmured: "It is said that the second master Zheng is a scholar, why not pardon the elder to know the courtesy?"

Jia Zhen glanced at him coolly, and was extremely tired of these tribesmen who were ruthless.
