The emperor couldn't help laughing and sighed: "This girl Xiaoji is really..."

I really don't know whether to call her clever or good at judging the situation...

The emperor knew very well that this whole thing was definitely not planned by their brothers and sisters in advance.

Qin Zening attached great importance to the position of the commander of the Central Military Camp, and once said in front of himself that he should handle the errand well, and in the future, when his sister gets married, he can also support his sister. He can't afford to break a leg on purpose to break up his own good future.

This matter is to put it bluntly, but it is Su Xiyang who wants to compete with Qin Zening for the commanding job, so he does not hesitate to hurt people and anger Qin Di, so Qin Di will follow the trend.

This girl is really smart. A slight smile flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Zezhi," the emperor waved Yuan Minggang back, turned to ask Gu Zezhi, "What do you think?"

Gu Zezhi said with a smile: "Qin's family can be separated smoothly. It is also a good thing for the emperor."

emperor:"……"

The emperor looked at Gu Zezhi deeply. His cousin looked at people and things. He was really sharp and transparent.

I don't know what Duan Wang thought, but he would actually abandon such a smart and capable son, and hold the son in the palm of his hand, but that son is cruel and can't tolerate his mother and brother.

"Indeed..." The emperor nodded slightly.

In recent years, Qin Zhun has become more and more ignorant of what he is doing. It is not enough to stand in front of Gu Jing in front of him. After all, he has also stepped from the prince to the position he is today. Of course, he understands that many courtiers want to fight for that from the prince. Long Zhigong, the problem is that Qin Zhun's stupidity is too self-righteous, jumping up and down, for fear that Gu Jing doesn't know that he wants to be his son-in-law.

The emperor kept thinking of the old marquis Qin Xun, so he did not bother with Qin Zhun.

Fourteen years ago, he was almost abolished as the prince by the late emperor. It was the old marquis who entrusted him to protect his crown, but the Qin family was exiled to Minzhou because of this, and he suffered for several years. The daughter-in-law died in exile.

The old marquis is loyal to him, but it's a pity...

"Qin Xun was really sick all of a sudden." The emperor couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Zezhi took a sip of tea and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that the old marquis died of a sudden illness?"

The emperor nodded and said: "I remember that Qin Xun asked me for a month's leave, saying that I wanted to go to Minzhou to bring the bones of my eldest son and daughter-in-law back to Beijing. I just received the news of his death, saying that Qin Xun suddenly suffered from abdominal pain in the middle of the journey, and it didn't help to ask a few doctors in a row, and after three days of abdominal pain, he just went west."

When it comes to this past event, the emperor is still sighing, and his eyebrows are stained with sadness and nostalgia.

When the old marquis went, Qin Zening was only eight years old. If the old marquis left a few years later, and Qin Zening was older, Qin Zhun should not be the one who inherited the title.

The leaves swayed outside the window, casting mottled light and shadow on the emperor's face through the window.

After a while of silence, the emperor said again: "Zezhi, you can go to the Zhongyi Hou's mansion. Since the family is going to be separated, then you should separate it clearly, and don't wrong Xiaoji and the others."

Gu Zezhi is the future uncle of the Changfang, and it is only natural for him to support the Changfang.

Gu Zezhi stood up gracefully and handed over to answer: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor picked up the tea cup again, and said nothing.

As Gu Zezhi said, for him, it would be better if the Qin family split up.

As long as the family is separated, in the future, his kindness to the Qin family can be given to Qin Zening, and there is no need to tolerate Qin Zhun in every possible way just to think of the old man.

Originally, the emperor thought that it would take a few years to separate the family, at least after Mrs. Qin passed away, the separation would be logical, but I didn't expect that Qin Di's girl would really take advantage of the opportunity to move the boat along the way!

After Gu Zezhi left the palace, he rode his horse directly to the Marquis of Zhongyi Mansion.

At this time, in the Houfu of Zhongyi, dozens of people gathered together, crowding the main hall of the outer courtyard. Not only the people from the Houfu, but also some elders of the Qin family came.

Qin Zhun sat down with a livid face, and a thick cloud seemed to cover the top of his head.

When he was in court, Qin Zhun was really angry, and he just wanted to vent his anger. However, as soon as he went to court, he found that almost all the people in the capital knew that he was going to drive the long house away from the Hou residence, and even he still heard someone swear and swear that he has been scolding Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu brothers all these years, and secretly embezzling the eldest sister's dowry, which is the same as what he saw with his own eyes.

Of course, Qin Zhun couldn't put down his body to argue with the common people. At that time, he didn't know how to end it. As a result, when he came back, Qin Di asked people to pack up and kept saying that the second uncle drove them away, and they couldn't be cheeky. To die depends on not to go.

Qin Zhun couldn't stop the stance that he planned to move away immediately.

What made him even more desperate was that, within an hour, even the patriarch of the Qin clan and some clan elders came at this time, saying that they had heard that Qin Zhun was going to drive away the orphans in the eldest house.

The patriarch and the patriarchs were Qin Zhun's elders, and they gave Qin Zhun a lesson one by one, saying that as an uncle, he had to be kind to his nephews and nieces, so how could he be so narrow-minded.

Of course Qin Zhun tried to justify himself, but no matter what he said, everyone else felt that he was arguing and evading.

Qin Zhun was upset, but he couldn't lose his temper at the patriarch and the elders. He could only patiently say to the patriarch, "Uncle Hall, I really didn't mean that. I was just angry, and I lost my temper for a while, saying: After a few heavy words, it was Brother Ning and Sister Ji who misunderstood..."

"Mingming's second uncle openly drove us away in court." Qin Di interrupted Qin Zhun leisurely.

Qin Zening sang and said: "Second uncle, you said so, if I still don't go, wouldn't people say that I eat and drink in Hou's mansion for nothing, and I don't know how to behave? Xiao, you have to fight with the second aunt's nephew for some errand!"

"Also, the three of us, brothers and sisters, eat and drink for nothing, so we should just swallow our anger... and it's also my fault that I won't be able to get ahead in my career."

Qin Zening also deliberately lowered his head and glanced at his right leg with the splint in between, looking like he was disheartened and broken.

Qin Di: "Hey."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made trouble with the Su family, but the big brother finally got a good job. I really feel bad for the big brother..."

After speaking, Qin Di lowered his face, and his thin shoulders trembled slightly again.

Qin Zening raised his eyes and looked at the patriarch sitting next to Mrs. Qin Tai, and said, "Uncle and grandfather, although my salary is not much, it is enough to rent a small house outside and raise my younger brothers and sisters, we can save food. Thrifty."

Qin Zhun: "!!!"

Qin Zhun's face was even more ugly. He felt that Qin Zening was such a jerk, but he was still so angry that he was so aggrieved that he was about to vomit blood.

Qin Di: "Hey."

Qin Di cried even more pitifully, sobbing and said: "Let's go, eldest brother's foot is broken, if Second Aunt..." She timidly glanced at Su Shi, whose face was sinking like water, "Go ahead again. "Isn't that eldest brother dying?"

"Although the three of us have suffered a little bit, we can't let people be a stepping stone in vain."

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

"Sister Di..." Mrs. Qin Tai's heart ached because of Qin Di's crying, and she really wanted to hold her and call her a sweetheart.

Mrs. Qin Tai has heard Du Ruo talk about what happened in the court of Jingzhao Mansion today. Now, seeing the eldest grandson and the third granddaughter, one is pitifully hurt and the other is crying pitifully. Great grievance.

Mrs. Qin Tai's eyes were also slightly red, and there were thousands of words in her heart, which finally turned into a long sigh. The second son did too much this time!

Qin Zhun was about to go crazy.

It was clearly in the court of Jingzhao Mansion, Qin Di was still in the way of not giving in step by step, and now he has changed a little pitiful face, and he is so wronged, as if his second uncle bullied her!

Now, I am afraid that the whole capital will know that he cannot accommodate orphans and orphans in the long house!

Qin Zhun's heart was even more chaotic. He blamed Qin Zening and his sisters for making fuss and the trouble ended, and the Su family. If the Su family was kind to Qin Di, how could Qin Di keep a good Hou Mansion? If the money is inappropriate, you will always say that you want to move! !

Qin Zhun refused to let go, insisting: "Brother Ning, I know you hurt your leg and feel wronged. You also have some misunderstandings about the second uncle. But because of this, you can't separate the family."

Qin Zhun looked at the patriarch again, intending to ask the patriarch to come forward, but just as he opened his lips, he heard Qin Di sobbing and said, "Then the family will not be separated..."

ah? ! Qin Zhun was stunned, but he didn't expect Qin Di to talk so well all of a sudden.

Qin Di slowly wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "My eldest brother and fifth brother don't want anything, as long as we can move out and live."

She turned her head to look at Qin Zening, her slightly red eyes looked exceptionally clear, "Brother, in the future, A Yu and I will depend entirely on Big Brother."

What she meant was that as long as they could move out, the three brothers and sisters would rather not have the property.

Qin Zening suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, and continued to sing double reeds with Qin Di: "Xiao Di, don't worry, there is a big brother! I can't starve you!"

"Second uncle," Qin Zening looked at Qin Zhun again, "even if we move out, grandmother is still here, we will often come back to say goodbye to grandmother in the future, we will not forget our surname Qin, let alone fall. The reputation of the Qin family will definitely shine on the lintel of my Qin family."

What does he mean? ! Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zening, his eyes widened a little, is Qin Zening saying that he has deliberately suppressed him all these years? ! He has the face to say it! !

The patriarch and the patriarch frowned slightly, but they were all distracted by Qin Di's words. They only thought that Qin Zhun not only wanted to drive the nephews and nieces away from the Hou residence, but also was so domineering that he refused to divide the family property to them.

Hey, Qin Zhun is so unkind and unjust!

The patriarch and others all cast disapproving glances at Qin Zhun.

The patriarch cleared his throat and persuaded Qin Zhun, "Master Hou, it's time to divide the family. You can't treat the three brothers and sisters Ze Ning so badly."

The other clan elders also nodded.

Qin Zhun: "!"

Qin Zhun felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. When did he say that he would dominate the property of the Changfang? !

One of the elders looked at Mrs. Qin Tai who was in front of him and asked, "Brother and sister, what do you think?"

The old man is gone, but Mrs. Qin is still there. As the saying goes, parents are there, no separation. The separation of the family should first ask Mrs. Qin Tai's meaning.

"..." Qin Zhun also looked at Mrs. Qin Tai with a look of expectation, hoping that Mrs. Qin would suppress Qin Zening and Qin Di as a grandmother. As long as she said she didn't want to split up, then she would be able to move forward.

"Second child," Mrs. Qin Tai sighed, her brows furrowed, "the family can't be divided like this. You are also Ning Ge'er and their elders, and your elder brother treated you well when he was alive..."

Qin Zhun: "!"

He just didn't know what to say, wanted to explain, but felt tired again, no matter how much he said, would anyone still believe it? !

When the patriarch and the elders saw Mrs. Qin Tai's statement, they exchanged glances with each other, and the patriarch said, "Master Hou, since your mother said so, then let's split up the family."

"There are rules for dividing families. If you want to divide families, you should divide them well. You can't let outsiders see our Qin family's jokes!"

The other clan elders also expressed their approval, and they all made a hard-hearted look.

Seeing that the separation of the two rooms "inexplicably" became a matter of "popular expectations", Qin Zeyu's heart became more complicated, and he almost wanted to kneel to his sister: Well, he must not provoke his sister in the future, lest he will die no matter what. do not know……

Qin Zhun: "..."

Qin Zhun pursed his lips tightly, fell silent, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

He didn't want to split up the family just because he was afraid that others would say that he treated the eldest house badly.

Now everyone in the capital knew that he was going to drive out the three juniors in the long house, and even Mrs. Qin Tai believed in it, fearing that no one would believe him no matter how much he explained.

Even if he insists on keeping the three brothers and sisters in the Hou Mansion, Qin Zening is no longer a baby, Qin Di can also enter and leave the palace, maybe they will talk all over the place, saying that they want to take revenge on them , saying that he was suppressing Qin Zening and preventing him from coming forward...

Maybe it's better to split up.

Once Qin Zhun thought of this idea, he felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and his mind turned quickly.

Over the years, the emperor has been reluctant to promise him to establish a heir, perhaps waiting for Qin Zening to make merit and let him pass the title back to the long room. If the two rooms are separated, and the long room and the second room are two families, then I have no worries.

Qin Zhun took a deep breath, made a heavy look, and sighed heavily: "Brother Ning, you are older and have your own opinions. Since you and your sister want to split up, let's split up."

Qin Zhun looked at Qin Zening diagonally across from him, his eyes were deep, and there was a flash of worry in his eyes.

That is to say, Qin Zening has a lot of things, but he accidentally fell off his horse without breaking his leg. If he insisted on making trouble, the whole capital was disturbed, and so did Qin Di. The girl who grew up outside was a disrespectful girl. Wild girl, just a few months after returning to Beijing, there have been many troubles, and will not cause trouble for the family in the future!

Even if the separation of the family was imperative, Qin Zhun did not want to completely follow Qin Zening and Qin Di's intentions, and planned to pull back a game.

"Hey!" Qin Zening also sighed, and followed Qin Zhun's words, "It turns out that the second uncle still doesn't want to split... Then the three of us should just move out."

Qin Zening turned around again.

"..." Qin Zhun's face was blue and white, almost turning the table over.

The patriarch frowned and was just about to be a gentleman when a little maid suddenly hurried in and said, "Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, Third Young Master Gu is here!"

Qin Zhun's brows furrowed even tighter, wanting to say that he had something to do today and would not welcome guests.

However, before he could say anything, he listened to the little maid who came to report and continued: "Second Master Gu said... that he was ordered by the emperor to see how the Qin family split up."

The little girl's voice was getting softer and softer, and her head was getting lower and lower, she didn't dare to look at Qin Zhun's face at all.

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was silence in the hall.

The patriarch and the patriarch also all looked surprised. didn't expect that the Qin family was going to split up the family.

Speaking of which, even if Qin Zhun didn't want to see Gu Zezhi again, he could only ask the maid to lead Gu Zezhi.

After a while, Gu Zezhi was led down by the maid.

The eyes of everyone in the hall turned to Gu Zezhi outside the hall, Gu Zezhi walked over, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were meticulously traced like a fine brush, his expression was gentle, and his bearing was high.

Like such a bright young man, just looking at it like this makes people feel bright, and can't help but feel good.

The patriarch and several other clan elders saw Gu Zezhi for the first time, and they were full of admiration in their hearts: It was also thanks to the empress who took care of him that Qin Di was able to find such a good husband.

Under the glowing eyes of everyone, Gu Zezhi calmly crossed the threshold, bowed gracefully to Mrs. Qin Tai's wife, and then looked at Qin Di.

Qin Di still lowered his face and used a handkerchief to hold the corners of his eyes to fake crying.

Gu Zezhi raised his eyebrows with interest, and then said softly, "Xiao Di, don't be afraid, no one dares to bully you when I'm here." He handed a handkerchief to Qin Di and looked at Qin Zhun. Looking over there.

Obviously, what he meant was that Qin Zhun had bullied Qin Di.

"..." Qin Zhun felt that Gu Zezhi was simply blind: Who dares to bully this wild girl, a master who will whip someone with a whip if he disagrees! Which noble girl in the capital is like her!

Qin Zeyu also felt that he didn't look at it, and felt that the eyes of the third brother-in-law in the future were really not very good.

Qin Di naturally took Gu Zezhi's veil, and continued to fake crying.

"Mrs. Qin Tai, Marquis," Gu Zezhi stood there tall and straight, with a calm demeanor like a mountain and flowing water, "I came here on the order of the emperor. The emperor heard that the Qin family was going to split up."

"Fortunately, I'm here, otherwise I wouldn't even know that Xiaoji was bullied."

After a pause, he continued: "Could it be that the Marquis wants to monopolize it and refuse to give it to the long room?"

Gu Zezhi slowly looked around the crowd, saw the patriarch and others stunned, and secretly said: The emperor can't misunderstand that they all support Qin Zhun and want to monopolize it!

"Gu San Gongzi misunderstood!" The patriarch quickly explained, "No such thing, just about to divide!"

Gu Zezhi politely smiled and said, "Then let's share."

After all, his current identity is not only the future uncle of the Qin family, but also represents the emperor's position.

The patriarch and the patriarchs exchanged glances, and one of the patriarchs immediately urged Qin Zhun: "Master Hou, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so let's divide it quickly."

Qin Zhun's expression immediately became extremely subtle, and his fists were clenched tightly.

This Gu Zezhi is really ignorant. His own family is still in a troubled time. With such a commotion, he still has time to meddle in his own business!

After thinking about it, Qin Zhun finally had no choice but to instruct the chief steward: "Go and fetch the account book."

The chief steward was ordered to retire.

Qin Zeyu gave up his seat to Gu Zezhi with a wink, Gu Zezhi sat down gracefully on Qin Ji's right side, and drank the new tea just brought by the maid.

Qin Zeyu seemed to be standing behind his elder brother, sister and brother-in-law like a little valet, thinking in a broken jar: Anyway, there is no place for him to speak here.

Everyone waited patiently, and soon, four little servants came in with two heavy boxes. After the box lids were opened, there were books of books inside. Some of them were old, and the covers and pages were a bit vague. yellow.

The chief steward took out the top account book and presented it to Qin Zhun, Qin Zhun said to the patriarch and the elders: "Uncle in the hall, and all the clan uncles, this is the general account book, from the Hou Zhongyi mansion. The industry is all here."

"According to the Qin family's rules, this house that inherits the family's property can get 70% of the property, and the remaining 30% is divided equally among the other houses."

"The Qin family has the first and second rooms, and the concubine has three rooms. According to the rules, the long and third rooms can be divided into 30% of the property. But the three rooms are not divided for the time being, so this time, only the long room will be divided first. come out."

The patriarch and the clan elders nodded, saying that was right.

Qin Zhun glanced at Gu Zezhi, saw that he did not raise any objection, and continued: "However, there are only three brothers and sisters, Ze Ning and the others in the eldest house. Brother Ning is not married yet, brother Yu is young, and sister Ji is young. Although he was married by the emperor, this dowry also needs to be purchased. Therefore, Benhou thought, in addition to the property that the long house deserved, an additional 10% of the Benhou's share should be allocated to the long house. "

"What do you guys think?"

Qin Zhun looked very generous.

An old clan nodded and said, "That's very good."

The others also responded, and their expressions softened a lot. They all felt that although Qin Zhun pushed his unmarried nephews and nieces out of the house, it was a bit too much, but it was not too much.

The patriarch looked at Qin Zening, fearing that he would be dissatisfied, and emphasized: "Zening, 70% of the inheritance of a house inherited from the family's property is the ancestral system of the Qin family."

Qin Zening also knew this, and nodded in agreement.

For Qin Zening, as long as he can separate from the second room and move out with his younger siblings, the rest is not important.

They still have their mother's dowry, so they will definitely live on. Moreover, he believed that he would be able to earn a family business for his younger siblings with his own hands.

Qin Di didn't know anything about ancient family divisions. Seeing Qin Zening nodded, he decided to listen to it first, without interrupting.

Qin Zhun's most embarrassing thing is Qin Di's thorn. Seeing that the girl didn't speak, he was slightly relieved.

He asked the chief steward to hand over the general ledger to the patriarch, and said generously: "Please also ask the hall uncle and a few clan uncles to see how it should be divided."

The patriarch and several patriarchs took over the account book one after another and looked at it.

Qin Zhun asked people to bring the abacus and the four treasures of the study. The whole group waited around a big mahogany case and calculated it for about half an hour before they figured out a charter.

The patriarch declared: "Zening, your long house can be divided into one house in the capital, two villages in the suburbs of Beijing, two shops in the capital, one hundred acres of paddy fields in Jiangnan, one hundred acres of fields in Huaibei, and more. Jiangnan's..."

He talked about it from time to time, from the house, the village, the fields, the shops, to the gold and silver, antiques, jewelry, medicinal materials, furniture, etc., about the effort of a cup of tea, and it was considered the share that belonged to the long house. The industry has spoken out.

The patriarch picked up the tea cup and drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, and then said to Qin Zhun: "Master Hou, you see that it is difficult for the three brothers and sisters to establish their own business, why don't you give them an extra 5,000 taels of silver?"

"It's still the lobby where Bo is thoughtful." Qin Zhun responded readily.

Now that he has reached the stage of separation, he still wants to be more beautiful, so that he can save a little of his reputation.

Seeing that the industry was divided, Qin Zhun's mouth twitched, and he deliberately turned his head to ask Gu Zezhi first: "Gu San Gongzi, what do you think?"

Qin Zhun also asked this casually. He felt that he was already very generous, and the number of people who were allocated to the long room was not small.

It's just that in the future, I'm afraid that the days of the long house will not be as beautiful as they were in the Hou's mansion, and they will be carefree, but this is also what they asked for!

A mocking cold light flashed across Qin Zhun's eyes.

However

"I don't feel right."

Gu Zezhi's voice was soft and gentle.

He seemed to just say it casually, but Qin Zhun's heart jumped when he heard it.

And then, Gu Zezhi said again: "The long house should be divided into 70% to be fair."
