Chapter 140: Hidden dangers arise in the clan family who want to divide their houses
The next day, before Dao Chi had breakfast, Zhou Tai and Zhang Da came over to wait. (To be continued 89 Free Novel Reading "")
After having breakfast, Dao Chi went to meet the landowner with the two of them and bought the three hundred acres of paddy field. The silver used was not only the money given by Cui Hao, but also the pawnshop's profit from the past two years.
Zhou Tai breathed a sigh of relief as he completed his errand; Zhao Da looked embarrassed.
Originally, the matter of buying the land was handed over to Zhao Da at the earliest, but as a result, all the people he inquired about were either those who owned thirty or fifty acres, or those who worked in the fields, and none of them agreed with Dao Chi.
This is not surprising, because the whole piece of fertile land is difficult to buy. Sometimes, there is no news at all, and the buyer and seller are finished.
When Zhou Tai heard this, he took the initiative to ask for help. As a result, he completed the job beautifully in half a month. He was just taking advantage of the situation. But he was using the Liu family's connections, which was within the acceptable range of Taoist idiots.
After passing the land deed from the Yamen, Dao Chi looked back at Zhou Tai and Zhang Da, and said to Zhang Da: "Now that the land deed has been established, you can take a few of the younger ones to patrol the village."
Zhang Da heard this and said hurriedly: "I respect the young master's orders."
Zhang Dahuan left happily. Dao Chi looked at Zhou Tai and saw that he was still respectful and said: "The errand was done well. Go back to Zhao Si's twenty taels of silver as a reward." At this point, he again
He said: "The manager of Liu House is here, and the letter of thanks for ten taels of silver is coming over."
"Thank you for the reward, young master." Zhou Tai bowed and said.
Judging from these days, among the three servants, Zhou Tai's family is the easiest to use. It's just that he is a son of the Ren family. Whether he can be used will have to go to the capital to see what the Ren family's style is.
Dao Chi was thinking about the postponement of the imperial examination in the capital. Knowing that Emperor Zhengde's life was not long, he said to Zhou Tai: "Before the end of the year, I will follow my grandmother to the capital. Since you are an old man brought by your aunt from the capital, you can do things like sailing and horseback riding."
Some experience. Grandma is old and can’t bear to travel. It’s up to you to worry about how to arrange the journey to be comfortable and cheap.”
As for going to Beijing to buy a house and land in advance, Dao Chi didn't say anything about it.
If the prince comes to the capital, most of them will follow him. When he arrives in the capital, it will be too late to worry about these things. He can save everything and make others suspicious and troublesome.
Zhou Tai responded hurriedly, with a calm expression on his face and a hint of joy in his heart.
During this month and a half, he could see that his new owner was a man who had just lived a better life. (To be continued 89 Free Novel Reading "") The old servants, old and young, were all useless. No matter what they were,
The general manager, or in the future, the external manager, will most likely be chosen from these three families.
Zhang Da went to take charge of the land, and Zhao Si took charge of the shop business. He seemed to be free, but what he was taking care of was the important matter of his family moving to Beijing. The capital was a familiar territory for him, and he would probably be the general manager of the new house in Beijing in the future.
…
Dao Chi knew Wang Ning's nostalgia for the old house. Even though he had a new yard under his name, he only arranged for three servants to move in. He still lived with Wang Ning in the old house because he knew that the old man was unwilling to leave here.
In order to fear that Wang Ning would regret it, Dao Chi mentioned Shun Niang and his nephew from time to time in the past two days.
Wang Ning listened at first, then glanced at him and said: "Okay, don't be petty with grandma. I have nothing to live without. Being able to guard you and your sister's life is no better than guarding this old house. House.
No matter how good it is, it can't compare to people going there." At this point, he hesitated a little and said, "It's just that Lao Yan and the Yan family are getting older..."
Wang Ning was a little undecided whether to leave the old couple to look after the house in Anlu.
Dao Chi hurriedly said: "Grandma, I have been with my grandma all my life. How can I be willing to be separated from my grandma? Naturally, she will come to Beijing with us. As for the courtyard here, according to my grandson's wishes, it is better to leave it to the eighth master's house next door."
Wang Ning hesitated and said: "How many years will Erlang plan to stay in the capital? Do you have any ambitions? If it doesn't last long, it would be better to keep them in their hometown to save them the trouble of traveling around."
The Taoist Chi said: "If I can be admitted to prison in March next year, it will take at least four or five years. Even if I am released from the Imperial College, my grandson still wants to stay in the capital for a few years to see more. In this way, he can stay in the capital for longer.
Grandma, don’t just feel sorry for Grandma Yan, but also feel sorry for your sister. My sister was raised by my grandma, so in addition to missing my grandmother, I will also miss my dear sister.”
Mrs. Wang Ning said this not because she was really reluctant to leave Grandma Yan and his wife, but because she was afraid that her grandson would be in trouble. After all, there were people around her grandson, and Uncle Yan and Grandma Yan were getting older.
After hearing what the Taoist idiot said, the old man felt at ease.
Three days of monthly leave passed by in a hurry.
Although the weather has been different since the beginning of spring, it has not had much impact on the palace. Now everyone in the palace is seizing the time, waiting for the crown prince to surrender.
Before the ceremony, the crown prince's fifteenth birthday was celebrated. According to custom, after the age of fifteen and the ceremony of becoming a child, the crown prince would no longer be a child.
After the royal palace was dismissed, in addition to the two major events of the heir apparent's succession to the royal title and the selection of a concubine, there was also the matter of the marriage of the three princesses.
Although the Wang family and the palace have acquiesced in the marriage between Wang Qi and the three princesses, according to the procedures, before the marriage can be formally discussed, it must be reported to the court and approved before it can continue. At the same time, the titles of the three princesses will also be formalized.
Mrs. Wang is Wang Qi's married aunt and the concubine of the three princesses. Both of them have clothes. When they get rid of clothes, it will be the twelfth lunar month.
It was Mrs. Wang's plan to make a date before the new year and get married after the new year.
This time Wang Qi went to find Mrs. Wang for help. Even if the grudge between the two of them had not been resolved, they were no longer as cold as they had been in the previous two months, and their relationship was much more harmonious.
Mrs. Wang talked about this matter with Wang Qi, hoping that he would also find out what the Crown Prince had to say, see the arrangements of the Prince's Palace, and then ask the Palace's requirements for the house. To save the delay, the Prince's Palace would be busy with the Prince's affairs.
When choosing a concubine for a wedding, you don't care about the three princesses.
However, Wang Qi still heard a different meaning.
Wang Qi was a little worried. After coming to pick up Dao Chi, he mentioned the matter: "Erlang, what does grandfather mean?
Dao Chi thought for a while and said, "Do all the Yibins of the Ming Dynasty have their own mansions?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "How could it be? When the princess of the clan comes to the village, the son-in-law is called the honored guest. In the land of the great vassal, there are dozens of princes and princes, dozens and hundreds of generals and lieutenants, and I don't know how many clan daughters there are.
I am afraid that only an extremely favored princess would set up a separate mansion after getting married."
The Taoist idiot said: "My great-uncle wants to separate the family."
Wang Qi said in surprise: "Split the family? My grandparents are still healthy."
Dao Chi said: "I'm afraid it's Mrs. Wang's inheritance that's causing the trouble. It's true that you're a bit stingy if you don't want to give Mrs. Wang's inheritance to the Duke. But your uncle and auntie are thinking about this property that has been put into your name, and there are also some
He is suspected of bullying his nephew. My great-uncle and great-aunt are in a bad mood these days. They think it is not just for the seventh brother, but they are also dissatisfied with them. Now that the two elders are still alive, your uncle and auntie dare to plot against your nephew.
My great-uncle will definitely think about whether there will be a fight over the property between the three houses of your family if he is not here. If you don't give in now, then when the princess comes in and has the palace as her backer, there is no reason to give in.
.There are more than a hundred hectares of land, and your uncle is worried about it. The clan has more land under its name. As long as the division of the family is slightly unfair, dozens of hectares can be divided up. When the time comes, the flesh and blood will turn against each other, and they may have to go to court.
.My great-uncle wanted to separate the family to avoid future troubles."
Wang Qi rubbed his face and said in a hoarse voice: "Erlang, why should I let it go? Although I only have one, I represent the third branch of the clan. That is also my home and the property left to me by my ancestors."
Dao Chi thought of something and said: "Seventh brother is lucky to have entered the palace. Even if he is not a guest of honor, he still has the support of being a companion. Otherwise, after the separation of the family, your uncle and second uncle will be worried about your property. How can you fight back?"
force."
One of them is the eldest son, and the other is a high-ranking official in the capital. Even if they do not openly occupy the nephew's property, it is not difficult to plot against his nephew.
It’s no wonder that Taoist idiots say this more often. They have no intention of sowing discord. The clan is actually very wealthy. Thirty or forty percent of the land outside Anlu City belongs to the Wang family. The clan’s money may not be as good as that of the third clan, which is worthy of the name.
The land is definitely ranked first in the clan, with more than two or three thousand hectares.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, when a family is divided, all the sons are divided equally, based on the head of the house.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of hectares were allocated to Wang Qi's name.
Chen Chizhong's family fell into decline, with only one brother left. Just because he got the help of the prince and obtained the property of Xuanmiao Temple, all the families were in trouble, just for the land.
Because Wang Qi was born in the Wang family, there are worries about her surname, but the Wang family does not need to worry too much.
The land of the Wang family clan originally grew through the process of dividing, annexing, dividing, and annexing again.
Wang Qi was already stunned, and after a while she murmured: "I finally understand what my aunt meant by her words back then."
The Taoist idiot was puzzled and looked at Wang Qi.
Wang Qi looked a little confused and said: "I was still young at that time and was often taken to the palace by my aunt. Once my aunt hugged me and said that my future hope lies not with my cousin, but with the three princesses. I don't understand.
I mean, I pulled my aunt's sleeve and asked why. My aunt said that my cousin and the three princesses can protect me. I was still not convinced at the time. I felt that I would be a man when I grew up. How could I let my cousin and the three princesses protect me... I often
Entering the palace, I feel like brothers with my cousin. If my cousin is still alive, even if I don't enter the palace, my cousin will not look at the uncle and the second uncle bullying me. The third princess... In the future, if the uncle and the second uncle really want anything, I really have to borrow the third uncle.
The power of the princess... I'm afraid my aunt has thought of this a long time ago..."
Dao Chi saw that he was in a low mood and said, "My eldest cousin is a sensible person. Since my seventh brother will have a different identity in the future, there shouldn't be anything wrong with him."
The guest of honor of the princess is from the second rank. According to the rank, from now on in Anlu world, except for the prince, it will be Wang Qi.
Wang Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I hope so, otherwise it will appear that I am not. I am really afraid of my eldest uncle and eldest uncle's mother. Just like the one hundred and twenty hectares of land, they were obviously greedy, but everyone in the family felt that it was wrong.
it's me……"
The two brothers talked and returned to the palace.
It's already March, and the palace has also replaced the window screens with new ones, made of lake green fine silk, which looks very refreshing.
Then, the next day, a major incident occurred that frightened the officials and the people.
"Volume 197 of the Records of Emperor Wuzongyi of the Ming Dynasty" records that in the 16th year of Zhengde, in March, there was a solar eclipse in Guichou Shuo.
