The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

Mother Lin sighed directly: "It's better to separate the family now than in the future! Brother Zhen, you are the patriarch, so I have to trouble you for this matter!"

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "Madam, this is my job, so why bother! I just don't know, according to the old lady, what is the division of this family?"

Mother Lin pretended to sigh, "Follow the rules!"

Jia Zheng's face turned pale, he couldn't say, don't follow the rules, wouldn't this damage his usual image?

Jia Amnesty had made a good plan at first, and Mother Lin was going to favor Jia Zheng, but Mother Lin actually said to follow the rules. After these words, he immediately became full of confidence, but he still said a polite word: "I am the eldest brother, and the second brother's family has a lot of people. When the things are divided up, let the second brother choose first!"

Mother Lin said: "It's best if you can think like this!" Then she ordered: "Take out all the account books in the public office, count them, and then divide them into ten shares according to the rules!"

Of course, there is no need to bother the patriarchs and elders. They just go through the motions and do a notarization, so as not to turn around and shout about injustice and make a fuss.

Mother Lin didn't bother to look at these things, so she just sat there and talked with a group of elders.There are only a dozen or so people in the Jia family in Beijing, and the ones that are closer are nothing more than the bastards played by Jia Yuanjia, such as Jia Dairu, Jia Daixiu and others. In the world, the credit has not been conferred, and the ancestors have also served as officials, and some are the branches of the original clan that are relatively close to Jia Yuan and Jia Yan. After so many years, they have been supported by the Ningrong Second House and have not made any progress. In my heart, the family can't live anymore anyway, so I go to the two mansions to play the autumn wind, and I can always get some money and food.

Therefore, they were called to come here, but in fact they were all here to make soy sauce, and some thought that the old lady of the Rong Mansion was always charitable, so they could take the opportunity to come and complain or something.

Mother Lin smiled and listened to what they were saying about the difficult times of the world and the unworthy children and grandchildren, and she followed suit, and sighed again: "Every family is like this. Family man, it is really rare to be confused about such things. I dare not be confused when I look at my children and grandchildren like this! We are all one family, and my wife can’t hide it from you. It's buried in the soil. I originally thought, let's just go on in such a muddle, but now it doesn't work. In front of me, the two daughter-in-laws have torn their skins, let alone behind them. Instead of forcing them to Living together, it would be better for me to be the villain first, divide the family, and let everyone be quiet!"

How dare the clan elders say that Jia She and Jia Zheng are not good, just like Mother Lin said, she won't live for a few years, once she dies, Jia She will be the head of the family, and she will have to rely on Jia She to live in the future Well, as for Jia Zheng, he is an official no matter what, the old lady has always been biased, even if the family is separated, I am afraid that the old lady still has some subsidies, and they will not be able to provoke Jia Zheng, so I just talk about the old man there The second master is filial and so on.

Lin's mother just smiled, and then talked about homework with them, how old is the child, where is she going to work, whether she has plans for marriage, whether her daughter is engaged, and if she gets married later, she will definitely give it to her. A piece of Yun Yun for adding makeup, and several clan elders were also talking about it with great interest. They were all trivial matters, and they all seemed to have forgotten about the separation of Jia's family.

Ordinary people who separate their families can quarrel over the broken pots and tiles, let alone a family business like the Jia family.Fortunately, the accounts are quite clear. The Xing family is not very courageous. At most, the housekeeper will just deduct the concubine who has fallen out of favor in Jia She's yard, and at most add Jia Cong to make some fuss about the Spring Festival dowry. He has the guts to even get involved in the public treasury, so the accounts of the public are very clear, and they are all worthy of the name. Even if Wang wanted to pick something wrong, he couldn't pick it out, and was ridiculed by Xing.

However, although there are a lot of account books, many things in it, such as gold and silver materials, are easy to divide, and other things are directly estimated according to market prices. The accountants got together, sorted them, and worked together. I also counted things according to categories such as Zhuangzi's shop, and then began to roughly divide them into ten parts, and then handed over the final results.

Mother Lin glanced casually, and said to Jia Zheng, "Your elder brother told you to choose first, so you and your wife should choose first!"

Jia Zheng couldn't get rid of this face, he winked, and asked Wang to step forward, but Wang was not polite, what's the use of face, can you eat it later?Don't take advantage of this opportunity and pick something more real. When the family is separated, everyone will drink the northwest wind!

She had already been keeping an eye on those accounting divisions before. Her housekeeping time was much longer than that of Xing's. Asking her to choose first, she just unceremoniously took the Zhuangzi shop that said in her impression that the income was better. She didn't like those calligraphy, painting and antiques, and chose rich and expensive ornaments. After picking for a long time, it was settled.

Xing looked at the decorations that Wang had chosen, his eyes were red with anger, he twisted his handkerchief, and said nothing.

Lin's mother sneered at the top. With Wang's methods and Jia Zheng's style, no matter how good the family business is in their hands, it will not be able to survive.However, he sighed: "Since the choice has been made, then let's do it!"

The Xing family couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly: "Since the family is divided, does the second room still live in Rongxitang?"

Wang couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and said directly: "Sister-in-law is so impatient to drive us away?"

Mother Lin put on a headache and pressed her forehead. Yuanyang quickly stepped forward to help Mother Lin rub her forehead. It's really inappropriate to live together, but now there are no spare houses on Rongning Street. I bought a house in the east of the city a few years ago, and I'll give it to you all. , but it will take a while to clean up the house, and if you want to move, you have to pick a good day!"

Xing's eyebrows are about to stand up. A house with four entrances in the capital is not a small sum. Even for an ordinary house, a few thousand taels of silver can't beat it. There must be tens of thousands of taels, and the old lady was too eccentric, so Jia Amnesty said directly: "How can I make my mother spend money, my son also has a house in the inner city, just treat it as a gift for my second brother." That's right!"

Mother Lin laughed and said, "It's great that you brothers can tolerate each other!"

Jia Zheng was disgusted for a while, and if he really wanted to shirk, the Wang family on the other side agreed directly. He would be a fool not to take advantage of it, so he hurriedly said: "Then thank you, uncle!"

This side was barely peaceful, but Jia Baoyu rushed in over there, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Old ancestor, how is it so good, the family is going to be separated, Baoyu, Baoyu is reluctant to part with the old ancestor!"

Seeing Jia Baoyu like that, Lin's mother felt tired again, but she still said patiently: "The old ancestor knows that you always like to get together and not to leave. , the old ancestor still keeps your house here, and you can come to see the old ancestor when you have time in the future!"

But Wang quickly said: "This child Baoyu has always grown up beside the old lady, and has always been filial to the old lady. I left with the master, so I will leave Baoyu in the mansion to be filial to the old lady for us!"

Xing's side couldn't bear it any longer, and said directly: "My brother and sister's words are interesting. Could it be that we are not filial to the old lady? What's more, it is said that he is filial to the old lady, it is better to say that the old lady dotes on him. Look at Baoyu's ordinary food, clothing and flowers, even my master is incomparable, not to mention that there is no family where the parents are still alive, but the son lives in the uncle's house!"

Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded, he always felt that he was loved by everyone, but he didn't know that the Xing family disliked him so much.It's not that the Xing family dislikes Jia Baoyu. To put it bluntly, she is reluctant to part with the money. If Jia Baoyu stays in the mansion, she will have to pay for it herself if she spends it. Especially, Jia Baoyu never regards money as money. Things will be ruined, so maybe she will still be able to go to Wang's with the account book to ask for the account.

What's more, the old lady was eccentric at first, if Jia Baoyu kept hanging around in front of her, and turned around and quietly gave all the good things to the second room, the eldest room would be indebted!

Seeing that Mrs. Xing was speaking upside down and acting petty, Jia She was not happy about it, so he hurriedly said: "If mother likes Baoyu, just ask Baoyu to stay with her. No matter what happens with me, I can't afford to support one." Nephew's!"

On the other side, Jia Zheng blushed and said, "Brother's kindness, my younger brother appreciates it, but Baoyu is my only son-in-law now, so naturally he wants to go with us. We are not far away anyway. If the old lady If you miss Baoyu, ask someone to send a message, and let Baoyu come over!"

What Jia Baoyu was most afraid of was Jia Zheng. As soon as Jia Zheng opened his mouth, he immediately froze and looked at Mother Lin pitifully. No, the second girl is going to get married in the past two years, and the third girl is about to reach her age, and I don't have the energy to take the third girl out to socialize. The second child is also your daughter, so I will leave this matter to you!"

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly: "The old lady is right. Although the third girl didn't crawl out of my stomach, I always treat her as my own!" She didn't feel guilty at all when she said this. From her point of view, it was her mercy that she allowed Tanchun to grow up so big.

Lin's mother nodded, she didn't have the time to worry about Tanchun, she left it to Wang, what will happen in the future, it depends on her own luck, no matter how bad her luck is, Wang may not be able to stuff her to Nan'an Palace. Let them top the vat, marry far away and get married!Mother Lin thought about it, and she had done her best.Seeing that everyone had no objection, Mother Lin sighed: "Since that's the case, then let's do it this way. Although the family is separated, it is still a family. Don't be a stranger!"

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng hurriedly said yes.
