Chapter 108: No matter how lush the tree is, it should be pruned
Mrs. Song asked again, "Then how much did you share?"
This is the issue that Song is most concerned about.
I learned from Cui Zeyu that all the concubines received the same amount.
150 million taels of silver, a house, a few shops, and two hundred acres of land.
Putting these in ordinary people's homes can be enough for their families to live for several generations.
But if you put it here among nobles from aristocratic families, it wouldn't look good at all.
Cui Zeyu looked at Mrs. Mei and said, "Pack up and prepare to move out tomorrow."
So fast?!
Mrs. Mei was shocked. We just separated today and moved tomorrow. Is it too fast?
And the old man still built it in...
Mrs. Mei was surprised, but she was also a woman who regarded her husband as her first priority. Naturally, she listened to Cui Zeyu in everything.
Mrs. Song on the side heard the conversation between the two, and Aunt Song burst into tears.
"How can this be good? Why did the old man suddenly mention the separation of the family? If the family is separated, you will no longer be the direct branch of the Qinghe Cui family.
When people mention you, others will only say you are a commoner.
Wu Lang and his wife are not yet married. If they divorce, what kind of marriage can they find?"
Especially young girls.
Mentioning the marriage between Wu Lang and his young mother, Mei also felt sad.
Wulang is the legitimate son of the Mei family and Cui Zeyu, and his wife is the eldest daughter of the second concubine.
If there was no family division, Wulang would be the fifth in the lineage, and his daughter would be the thirteenth.
After the separation of the families, each one has its own business.
Although they are still the Cui family of Qinghe, they have split into a branch of the Cui family of Qinghe.
After all, direct branches and collateral branches are different.
Cui Zeyu was already a little worried, but now he was even more worried when he met several women crying.
"Okay, the points are all divided, what's the point of talking about it?"
Cui Zeyu's face was impatient, and his tone was filled with resentment, "Even if the family is divided, I can still make our second wife live a good life without relying on the direct descendants of the Cui family!"
Aunt Song's lips moved and she looked at her son in shock.
Mr. Cui is still here. Even if the family is divided and the sons move out, several concubines and unmarried girls still stay in the house.
After a long time, Mrs. Song came back to her senses and smiled, "Yes, with you and Wu Lang here, our second bedroom will definitely live better than the other bedrooms!"
"I'll go talk to the old man later. It's okay if the property divided is not as much as three bedrooms. No matter what, I can't let you get as much as four bedrooms without a house!"
Especially the fourth room, born from that bitch Lian!
It must be the third bedroom, because the third bedroom is a direct descendant, and Mrs. Song still knows some sense of propriety.
But they were both concubines, and they were favored by the old man. Why did they get the same number of four and five bedrooms?
Auntie Song didn't care what the rules were, she just wanted to not lose to the Lian family.
No matter what, they had to coax the old man into taking some from his private treasury to give them a second room.
Just do it, Mrs. Song turned around and went into the house to freshen up and go find the old man.
After Cui Yan learned about the separation, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he just sneered.
He knew that his father would persuade his grandfather to separate the family to preserve the Qinghe Cui clan.
I don’t know what my father and grandfather said last night, but they actually agreed to separate the family.
You must know that as my grandfather gets older, he hopes for family harmony more and more.
It's rare to agree to a family separation.
"Father is still too kind."
Cui Yan was dressed in red, holding a rose flower in her hand and placing it elegantly on the tip of her nose to smell it, with a smile in her eyes.
But the tone was very cold, "No matter how lush and leafy the big branches are, they should be pruned in time to prevent side branches from dragging down the main trunk, don't you think?"
The boy on the side looked at the second young master's increasingly sinister smile, and couldn't help but wince and take a few steps back.
And silently lit the wax for the second room in my heart.
"Sir, Mr. Rong is here, do you still want to play polo?" the boy asked cautiously.
Cui Yan smiled and crushed the rose flowers in his hands, "Let's go and call my fifth brother to play polo together."
The boy lowered his head and glanced at the rose petals that had fallen all over the ground. He was afraid that this time Wulangjun would be doomed!
News of the separation of the Qinghe Cui family spread quickly.
By the time it reached Chen Jue, six or seven days had passed.
"I didn't expect Cui Zhongli to handle it so quickly!" This surprised Chen Jue.
Seeing the news that the Cui family of Qinghe had separated so quickly, Chen Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He also thought that Cui Zhongli would choose to help the deposed prince like Cui's second wife.
Or even if it is not help, it will be a bet on both sides.
Now it seems that he was wrong.
Cui Zhongli did not side with the deposed prince.
Chen Jue was in a good mood today after receiving some pleasant good news.
Decided to take the concubine and others to Qianzhou City for a walk.
Qianzhou City is adjacent to the Yangtze River and faces Shangzhou on the other side.
There is a commercial port crossing in the northeast corner outside the city, which is a treaty port.
Everyone who crosses the river from north to south or goes to sea must board the ferry from this ferry.
Therefore, Qianzhou is rich in products and has a developed economy.
"Crack!" There was a sound, and the gavel slapped on the table.
The noisy teahouse finally became quiet, with only the waiter walking among the crowd.
The storyteller on the stage in the teahouse coughed lowly and cleared his throat.
When passing by the teahouse, Chen Jue heard how lively it was and became interested.
In addition, I was thirsty after walking, so I took Concubine Jiang and others in to buy a bowl of tea, and by the way, I heard Mr. Shu telling stories.
