The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Chapter 40 Private Room

The division of the family was presided over by the patriarch, and the court officials acted according to the law. Jia Dairu and Jia Daixiu, the elders of the clan, also came to witness.

Jia Daixiu was slightly disappointed in his heart. He expected the two parties to pinch each other so that they could follow behind to check for leaks, but he didn't expect the situation to be completely one-sided.He was extremely regretful that Jia Shishi died too early, otherwise, according to Shi Shi's attitude of doting on Jia Zheng, the separation of the family would still be torn apart.

There is nothing to say about Jia Daishan's private house.Jia She said: "Father left his last words before he passed away. Half of his private house will be handed over to Hu'er, and the remaining half will be divided into ten shares. I will get [-]%, and my second brother will get [-]%. [-]%."

Jia Hu's eyes turned red, as if he thought of Su Ri's grandfather's kindness again.He is not greedy for his grandfather's property. With his business acumen, how much money can he not earn?It's just his grandfather's kind heart that moved Jia Hu.Jia Zhen patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

But Jia Zheng was not reconciled, Jia Hu got most of the money, and the second room only got a quarter, which is too bullying.It is a pity that this is the private house of the parents, and it is only allocated according to the wishes of the parents themselves.

If I had known this earlier, if Zhu'er had also grown up under her father's knee...

When his mother and Wang did this, Jia Zheng didn't take their side because he couldn't lose face and wanted to teach Zhu Er to be more up-to-date than Jia Hu.If he asked his father, would his father disagree?He no longer thinks deeply about things that cannot be changed.

Jia Daishan's private house is more than the property of the Rongfu princes and the dowries of the mistresses of the past dynasties combined.When Jia She thought about the private house left by his grandfather, he knew how many there were. The gold, silver and jewelry snatched from the enemy were all in the form of boxes, the kind of big mahogany boxes with deep mouths.Not to mention the various furs, huge gems and precious spices that Jia Daishan traded with the barbarians there when he was fighting in the frontier.It certainly cannot be compared with the private house of the first generation Rong Guogong, but it can be called a very rich collection.Even Jia She, would drool greedily, but he didn't want to rob Hu'er, anyway, after a hundred years, his things would also be left to his children and grandchildren.

Jia She then said, "As for mother... Well, mother left in a hurry and didn't leave any last words. I'll ask you to tell me what I think, patriarch, fellow elders, and second brother. You might as well listen first." Listen." The tone was very sad for the death of the mother, but she was slandering in her heart, the old lady is really partial, she once said that her private house will be left to the second room in the future.Fortunately, Baoyu hadn't been born yet at this time, and Mother Jia felt that she could live for a long time, and she didn't say something like "When I go, these things will be left to my Baoyu", otherwise the big house would stop earning.

Jia Zheng was very reluctant to be divided by his elder brother. Most of his father's private house went into the hands of the eldest son. Could it be that the eldest son also wanted to seize the private house of his mother who loved him the most?However, elder brother is already an uncle, he is in charge, so how can he have room to speak?

Jia Zheng couldn't help feeling resentment welling up in his heart.

Didn't he know the cause of his mother's death?A few years ago, although my mother was imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall of Lixiangyuan, her body was very strong, and she seemed to be able to live longer than her father.He also comforted his mother in this way, and it will be fine if he endures it for a few years.At that time, my mother will be the only elder in the house, and my elder brother can't disobey what she says.

He didn't even think about it, he was Jia Daishan's confidant both inside and out, so could his words reach Jia Daishan's ears?It is estimated that Jia's mother's death is also indispensable to his credit.

Jia She was very conscientious towards his nephew who died young, he said: "When my mother was here, she loved my second brother and Zhu'er the most. Kuang's mother made it clear before she was alive that most of her private house would be given to my second brother. And Zhu'er. It's just that I'm fine with that, brother Hu and sister Ying are also grandchildren of the old lady, so don't be too partial."

Jia Zheng was startled, Jia Jing, Jia Daixiu, and Jia Dairu all nodded yes.

Jia Jing deliberately smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you, Enhou, don't want to give it to Cun Zhou."

This was originally a joke, but Jia Amnesty nodded seriously.He said: "Half of mother's private house should be given to Pearl."

Jia Zheng felt depressed for a while, what does this mean?Mother loves Zhu'er, isn't it because Zhu'er is my eldest son?What is the difference between give it to meand give it to my son?

"Brother, can't you trust me?" Jia Zheng asked angrily.

Jia Jing also pretended to be surprised, and asked, "Enhou, what do you think?"

Jia She said with a righteous face: "I can't trust Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang is a stepmother. Just look at the legitimate sons and daughters living under the stepmother in Beijing. The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart! If she is in the second brother Blowing the pillow wind in my ear, will Zhu Geer’s life be easier?! With money in hand, Zhu Geer has confidence in everything he does, so he won’t be ruled by Xiao Wang!” Giving it to Jia Zhu is better than giving it to Jia Zheng Hao, that's right, he is such a man who avenges his personal revenge publicly.

Ever since Xiao Wang got married, he always greeted Jia Zheng with generosity and consideration, and was completely inferior to Aunt Zhao.Jia Zheng admired this gentle and witty wife very much. As soon as the two sang together, Jia Zheng exploded as soon as he heard it. In the past few months, how has she ever held Pearl back?!"

Jia Zhu suddenly felt confused.

Since Xiao Wang married in, his life has not been so easy.Although it is not harsh, but as before, a few of his favorite snacks are always made in the kitchen and sent to the small study every day, the second room gets good materials, and the first one makes new clothes for Jia Zhu, etc. It is impossible to happen .When Da Wang was here, she ordered these things herself, and they were not included in the rules.Xiao Wang followed the rules and there is nothing to criticize.

He thought sourly in his heart, his father didn't see his situation, but his uncle did.

However, if it wasn't for the uncle's family, how could the mother die in childbirth?Jia Zhu's nails hidden behind his back sank deeply into the palm of his hand, and a red thread was winding in the palm of his hand, but he didn't even notice it.

Although the mother did something wrong, sister Ying was not hurt, why did the eldest aunt...

Obviously, Jia Zhu didn't take what the adults said about Da Wang's death in dystocia to heart.In private, Jia Zhu always remembered what his nurse told him.The mother has already given birth to two children, and logically speaking, it should go well. Besides, so many things have happened before, and the mother has not seen any discomfort. How could it become a dystocia once she gave birth?At that time, the delivery room was full of people from my aunt...

Jia Zhu knew that she was wrong in thinking this way. A woman giving birth is a circle of hell. Even if she gave birth to her second or third child, so many women died of dystocia in Dazhou.And the eldest aunt was very kind to him and Yuanchun, although not as good as her own, but much better than the current mother.

However, he couldn't help himself to think about what the wet nurse said. It was the aunt who was trying to win him over, just like a new mother raised her younger sister to only listen to her words... and the little one whose cries were as subtle as a kitten's meowing , He privately replaced his mother and gave her a nickname, "Maomao"'s younger sister.The cat has only lived for less than seven days...

no.Jia Zhu closed her eyes hard to drive away the sudden tiredness.Tonight's homework is still doubled.That way you won't be thinking about it.

Jia Hu keenly noticed that Jia Zhu was shaking.

Did you stay up late again last night?He stroked his chin.Let's take care of it later.After all, apart from Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu is also a good seed for studying, much better than that fake Baoyu who can only eat rouge.

Except for Jia Hu, no one noticed Jia Zhu.After all, this is an era of strict patriarchal clans, and a son cannot violate the father's will.If Jia Zheng insisted on not giving it to Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu could only give it up without complaint.

The tension between the two brothers was tense, and Jia Jing hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Cun Zhou, Enhou, what he meant was that the eldest Wang family has gone, and the little Wang family may not be sincere to him after all. There is mother's private room in the house, so when you go out to socialize in the future, you don't have to talk to your stepmother all the time." He paused and then said: "Besides, Pearl is still young, and now I still have to be my parents to keep it for him. It doesn't matter who the private room is for. of."

Jia Zheng prided himself on being an upright person, so naturally he wouldn't rob his son of his mother's private house. Isn't this a slap in the face for himself?What's more, what Jia Jing said makes sense.

If the quarrel continued, everyone's faces were not optimistic. Jia Zheng quickly changed his face and said: "Brother is right, people's hearts are in the belly, like Da Wang's back then..." He said sadly: "I can't believe it. The mother’s private room is the same for Zhu’er or me. Let’s give it to Zhu’er. He’s grown up too, so it’s not easy for him to go to the inner courtyard to find Mrs. Wang, and you can’t be too stingy with your friends.” Jia She looked at him contemptuously, who was defending Xiao Wang just now?

Jia Zheng was thick-skinned, and he yelled at Jia Zhu unconsciously: "You scoundrel! You must know that money and rice are hard to come by, so don't spend too much in the future. If my father finds out, I won't show mercy!" Zheng, it should be said that almost all fathers in this era believe in sticking out filial sons. The stick he mentioned is the kind used to beat Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is a family law of the Jia family.

Jia Hu's face was stiff, he had a shadow on this.When he came out of the closet to his family, he suffered from the old man's cane a lot.The crutch was made of iron wood, and it was very old and heavy, and it hurt very much to beat someone.

On the other hand, Jia She, since he was reborn, Jia Hu has been fighting for his strength. He has never had a chance to start a family law, and he grew up under the doting of his grandmother. Occasionally, his grandfather wanted to beat him with a big black stick, but he was stopped down.When it came to family law, he wasn't too afraid, but seeing Jia Zhu's pale face, he thought of persuading him: "Second brother, Zhu'er is weak, you have to be careful. You are just such a son, don't feel bad if you break it. "

Jia Zheng's expression also froze, but he listened to it, and stopped saying to be careful with sticks, but his tone was still bad: "Hurry up and thank your uncle!"

Hearing this, Jia Zhu stepped forward to thank Jia Amnesty.He is sincere, no matter what happens to the uncle's family, he is indeed kind to him.

Jia She happily excused it, and said: "In the future, everyone will argue, let's deal with it like your biological mother's dowry."

What he meant was to make three account books just like Dawang's dowry list, one to be kept by Dafang Liu, one to be kept in the clan, and one to be given to Jia Zhu herself.This is also a guarantee for Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun.

Everyone expressed no objection.Jia Dairu even stroked his beard and said: "It can't be more fair. If there are children left by the original spouse in the future, it will follow this precedent." The rest of the faces are subtle. Is this a curse?Or is it a curse?

Jia Zheng couldn't wait to speak: "Brother, you haven't said how to divide it."

Jia She said with a smile, "Second brother, don't worry."

Jia Zheng choked.He said this, as if he really wanted to share his mother's private house. Although it is true, don't say it, it would be embarrassing in front of outsiders.

Without waiting for other people to respond, Jia She said to himself: "Half of mother's private house is given to Zhu'er, and the remaining half is divided into ten shares. Mother also loves Min'er on weekdays. Although Min'er is married, mother often talks about it. , the mother's private house should have Min'er's share. In this way, Min'er gets [-]%. I get [-]%, my second brother gets [-]%, and Hu'er, Ying'er, Yuanchun, and Lian'er each get [-]%. Second brother, you What do you think?"

Jia Zheng's younger sister, who was reluctant to marry, also came to share his mother's private house, but in the hearts of everyone, he and Jia Min had always had a good relationship, so it was inconvenient for him to refute.He felt short of breath again, wondering if the ancestral hall hadn't been opened for too long and the air circulation was not good.

Seeing that the two brothers have reached an agreement, the elders of the clan will not interfere, anyway, it will not reach their hands, so as not to cause a commotion.The private houses of the two old people were thus divided.It doesn't matter if Jia Hu doesn't miss his grandparents' things.Only Jia Jing and Jia Zhen thought in unison: Cun Zhou/Second Uncle is so easy to be satisfied.
