The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

When Xu Qilang came back from the sea, Uncle Xu’s health began to deteriorate. He was tired all the year round, and he had many concubines. Now he is over 60 years old, and it is impossible for him to be in good health.

Xu Dahai, Xu Qilang and others entered Uncle Xu's sick bedroom, and the third child, Xu Dashan, was already inside, serving soup and medicine for Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu had so many daughters in his life, so many that he could only remember the most outstanding ones, and couldn't recognize the others, but these three were the only ones who supported his son.

Seeing the fight between Xu Dahai and Xu Qilang now, he also had to sigh in his heart, thinking that having too many sons is not a good thing, otherwise the family would be more troubled, and many families were defeated because of too many descendants.

After Xu Qilang entered, he went to Uncle Xu's bedside and knelt down to touch Uncle Xu's hand, and asked softly, "Father, how do you feel today?"

Xu Qilang had been taught as a modest gentleman for the past 20 years. Even though he had worn a rough air on his body in the past two or three years, he still looked like a modest gentleman when he asked questions in such a soft voice. People who are used to gentleness also soften their hearts.

He said in a hoarse voice, "For my father's body, I know that there is nothing good or bad about it. As long as you three brothers are well and our Xu family can prosper forever, I am willing to die immediately."

He said this to the three brothers who were wrong. Although the third brother is cowardly and honest, it is impossible to say that he did not covet such a large family fortune in his heart, otherwise he would not have done it himself. Wandi is here to guard him, an old man, after all, it's not that no one else is serving him.

Xu Qilang then said, "Father, our Xu family will definitely be able to prosper. Don't worry about it."

Xu Dahai and Xu Dashan quickly persuaded him.

Uncle Xu said at this time, "I'll arrange things while I'm in good health. Your uncles and stewards will come later, so I'll explain clearly in front of them."

Uncle Xu was originally just a not very outstanding businessman in Yangzhou city, but because he married his younger sister to Mrs. Ji, with the help of Mrs. Ji, his business has been booming all the way, and he has become a well-known big businessman in Yangzhou city , Later, through the relationship between Ji's family and Xu's family, he went to Guangzhou to start a maritime business, and only then did he have such an incomparably rich family business.

Uncle Xu’s family didn’t have any clan members that could be traced back. The ancestral halls in his family were even opened separately, and there was not much connection with the original family. However, Uncle Xu had several concubine brothers, who were separated early Family, after Uncle Xu became well-off, he still felt that his relatives were more reliable, so he also pulled these concubine brothers up, and those who were useful worked under him, and those who were not used were also soaked in his glory days. Living well, they are naturally very pleased with this eldest brother, but Uncle Xu's huge family business does not have their share, but in Uncle Xu's will, they, as family members, Uncle Xu hopes They come to bear a witness.

Uncle Xu said that, and the three brothers all knew that Uncle Xu meant to confess his will. The eldest and seventh child held their breaths. Only the third child came to ask Uncle Xu if he wanted to drink water. Uncle Xu Seeing the cowardly appearance of the third child, he despises it. However, although he despises it, he just doesn't give him the right to manage the family business. The property that should be given to him will not be less, and it is enough His family has lived a good life and used it well, and several generations are enough.

Xu Dahai said to Uncle Xu, "Father, you are in good health, why worry?"

Xu Qilang also said, "Father's health is more important than anything else."

In front of Uncle Xu, the female family members of course had no right to speak, so they all stood in the corner, did not step forward, and did not dare to make a sound. Only Mrs. Qin sat on a chair and said, "The matter After the arrangement is made, the master can feel at ease, and it will be fine if the health is not good."

Uncle Xu himself said, "It should be the way of a big family to divide the family when both parents are present, otherwise I will not be safe even if I die."

The female relatives wiped away their tears mournfully, while the men remained calm.

After a while, Uncle Xu's three concubines came, and the three most important stewards of the Xu family also came. These three stewards said they were servants, but in fact they seemed to be the helm of the family attached to the Xu family. He is very powerful and can talk, even better than Uncle Xu's three concubines.

When several people came, they came to greet Uncle Xu. Uncle Xu asked his youngest son to help him sit up from the bed. went out, even Qin Shi went out.

The room was full of people, but it became vacant all of a sudden, and the stewards and the three concubines also sat down on the chairs. Except for Xu Qilang who sat by the bed, the eldest and the third were all asked to sit below. chair.

Looking at the situation, everyone knows that although the boss has been with Uncle Xu for more than 20 years to help him manage his business, he still likes this old son, because he wants Xu Qilang to take over the family business.

In fact, Xu Qilang is not interested in the big business of the Xu family. It is such a big responsibility to take over such a big family business. It was too much, Xu Qilang was even willing to let his eldest brother inherit, but after Xu Boss sent someone to kill him, he never had such a simple thought again.

Uncle Xu said, "Everyone is the most important confidant of my Xu Mingzhong. I am an old man, and I am about to die. While I still have energy, I will divide my family and let everyone be here to be a witness." , and after I leave, I can uphold justice according to my will today."

After Uncle Xu said this, the six people hurriedly made a statement.

Uncle Xu nodded, and said, "Qin Jianyang, you are young, you write well, and you are convinced by everyone. Today, you will write down what I said, and everyone will press your fingerprints to prove it."

Qin Jianyang is a young man sitting at the bottom. He looks tall and slender, and he is well-behaved when he sits there, but when he stands up, people can feel his agility and strength. Xu Qilang is playing outside. With Qin Qi's slogan, he is the real Qin Qi.

The Qin family used to be a bunch of pirates at sea, they didn't go ashore to plunder, they specialized in robbing passing merchant ships, and then they ran into Uncle Xu's hands, after coming and going, they became loyal to Uncle Xu, and stopped being pirates. Managed several transit islands on the sea for Uncle Xu. Originally, Qin Jianyang's father was loyal to Uncle Xu. After his father died, he took over his father's job. Because of Uncle Xu's special arrangement, Xu Qilang and He is the most familiar, and he also knows what Uncle Xu means, so he is only loyal to Xu Qilang.

Qin Jianyang was a taciturn character. After answering, he went to sit down at the table in the middle of the room. There were already prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones on it.

Because of the strength of the Qin family, and it was Uncle Xu who spoke, naturally no one had any objection to this matter.

Uncle Xu began to talk about the situation of the next division of the family. First, he divided a small part of the property and 30 taels of silver to the third child, and the same share to the eldest brother. Then, because the eldest son had more sons, he added some properties. The uncle is very dignified at home, although the eldest is much more than the third, the third does not dare to speak unfairly.

Because Xu Xiaoxin, the eleventh lady, is unmarried and is still in prison, he does not know the situation. He loves this daughter, so he gave her another 5 taels of dowry money, even including several important stores in Beijing. The shop has been sealed up, but the matter of the Xu family has not yet been determined. It is not known whether it will be returned. If it is returned, it will be given to Eleven Lady.

Uncle Xu's arrangement for the eleventh lady in this way shows that he really has this daughter in his heart.

Next, there are arrangements for the concubines who have been around him all the time, and then there are arrangements for the Qin family. Except for these, all the rest will be inherited by Xu Qilang.

These include the manpower strength of the Xu family, the boats of the Xu family, other shops of the Xu family, the islands occupied by the Xu family as transit, and the fields of the Xu family...

In other words, Xu Qilang is his heir.

After Uncle Xu said this, Boss Xu didn't have any disputes, just listened quietly.

After Qin Jianyang finished writing these, he showed them to Uncle Xu. After reading them, Uncle Xu nodded and asked him to make five copies. Qin Jianyang also copied them all, and then asked everyone to sign According to the fingerprints, one of them was kept by Uncle Xu and prepared to give to his old wife Qin Shi, which was actually for Xu Qilang, the other three were kept by three stewards, and the third was given to one of his concubine brothers.

After distributing in this way, Uncle Xu said, "Everyone has testified that my family business will be run in this way in the future. Before I die, I will watch you divide the family."

Although Boss Xu didn't say anything, his face was calm. Third Xu was obviously dissatisfied, and kept his head down without speaking.

Uncle Xu said to Xu Qilang again, "You will be the head of the family from now on. You must be able to support the family business, but your brothers and sisters should also take care of it."

Xu Qilang saluted politely.

This family is only happy for Xu Qilang, and everyone else is unhappy, even the few concubines who ran out with him.

Because Xu Qilang lived in a separate courtyard outside, that night, someone from the main courtyard came and said Uncle Xu was going to die, and asked everyone to go to Mingjing Hall.

Although it was very late at this time, Xu Qilang was not asleep, and was talking with Song Wei and Qin Jianyang in the study.

Xu Qilang didn't serve Uncle Xu's side because Uncle Xu didn't intend for his son to serve him, and his courtyard was full of people who guarded him, so it was enough for Qin to serve him by his side.Besides, although he was too ill to make a will, he didn't think he was going to die anytime soon.

Xu Qilang was a little surprised by the news, because Uncle Xu was still in good spirits in the afternoon, but he was about to die at night.

He stood up and was about to go out, Qin Jianyang said, "The change of Xuanwu Gate."

Song Wei also stood up, looked at Xu Qilang, Xu Qilang said, "No matter what, we have to go there. It's just to bring more people."
