Chapter 28 Dedicating 10% of the Family Property to 3%
Xiaojiu thought casually: Dear bosses who have not collected it, don’t forget to collect it. It is related to the ranking data, as well as clicks and recommendation votes. Tears, what is going on with the clicks and recommendations? Why can’t I get listed?
?
At this time, Wang Sanlang also came out of the dining room and saw Wang Qinghong's expression was different, and he was very uneasy.[]
Wang Qinghong had already moved his eyes away from Dao Chi, raised his chin slightly, and said to Mr. Wang solemnly: "My nephew, go outside and wait for your uncle."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Go, Sanlang and I will be out soon."
Wang Qinghong didn't even look at Dao Chi, and strode towards the mountain gate.
Mr. Wang looked at the Taoist idiot with a face full of kindness and said: "Entering the genealogy and being promoted are important events. You need to choose a good time and auspicious day to make it happen. You go to the temple first and choose an auspicious day in two days. I will then send someone to you."
Come to pick you up."
The Taoist idiot bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, uncle."
Wang Sanlang next to him was a little confused, wondering if he heard it wrong? He understood the word "entered into the genealogy". His parents had mentioned it before, and he knew that his younger brother had not yet been included in the genealogy. What his father meant,
I don't want to make a big announcement and want to wait until the end of the year to worship my ancestors before adding my younger brother into the family tree.
Did the old patriarch say "step out" or "get rid of the family"? No matter which one it is, it doesn't feel good.
Before Sanlang Wang had time to think carefully, Mrs. Wang had already ordered: "Your father is still waiting, Sanlang, please follow me out."
With doubts on his face, Wang Sanlang helped Mr. Wang go out. The Taoist idiot sent the two of them out of the temple gate. Not far away, under the mountain gate, Wang Qinghong stood with his hands behind his back...
*
The Taoist idiot did not ask what the old monk had said to Wang Qinghong, nor did the old monk ask how Sanlang was doing. The old monk and the young man seemed to have returned to their previous days.
The Taoist fool carries water, studies, meditates, and copies scriptures, and the time is fully scheduled. Both of them know that there are not many days to get along like this. Even Hu Tou, who has always been carefree, has less smiles on his face.
Behind Dao Chi, he looked at him eagerly.
In the heart of the Taoist idiot, he actually couldn't worry about Xishan Temple.
When he came back this time, he found that the spirit of the old monk was not as good as before. After all, he was a ninety-year-old man in this mountainous place. The nearest barefoot doctor was ten miles away from Xishan Temple. It was not that he did not suggest that the old monk should be allowed to live there.
The monks came down the mountain, but they were all rejected by the old monk with a smile.
The only thing he can do is to come back a few more times.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Wang Ning sent an old servant from home once and delivered a package up the mountain. Inside was a new set of fine cloth clothes, as well as matching shoes, socks, and blessing scarf.
On the day when Mrs. Wang sent Wang Zhen up the mountain to pick him up, the Taoist idiot took off his monk's robe and put on this new one.
Although the material of this dress is not as good as the new clothes he wore in the twelfth room a few days ago, the stitches are densely packed, which shows the care of the person who made the clothes.
The Taoist Chi realized that when he sent Wang Ning down the mountain that day, Wang Ning groped his arms and shoulders, not just to express intimacy, but also to visually check his size, and went back to quickly make this new set of clothes.
This outfit, if it were in a common people's house, would be considered decent, but compared with Wang Sanlang's usual outfit, it looked shabby. Even though the two brothers were different, their situations were very different. Wang Zhen sighed in her heart.
His tone was very sympathetic to Daoist idiots.
The ancestor of the twelfth room was originally the youngest son of the clan. He inherited a large amount of property when he was divided into two houses in his early years. After that, he and his grandson were officials for three generations. No one knows the details of how much wealth he has, but everyone knows a lot.
When the clan members mentioned it in private gossip, they all said that a family with twelve houses would be ranked among the top three in the clan. The first ones were the clan house and the third house.
The Wang family has been inherited in Anlu for 150 years. Regardless of outsiders and in-laws, there are thirteen direct branches, including the clan house and the twelve inner rooms. According to the clan rules, the clan house is in charge of family affairs, and the inner twelve rooms are co-administered.
After the clan sacrifice ceremony at the end of each year, two houses among the twelve houses will be voted for. One person from each house will assist the clan leader in managing the family property, one person will be responsible for renting grain, money and food, and one person will be responsible for the deed authority. They are changed once a year.
Connected management.
The twelfth-family member has very few children and grandchildren, and the head of the family is either studying or working as an official, so he never interferes with family affairs, but there is still no one in the family who can neglect him, but it is just because of the word "wealth and honor".
Although the Taoist idiot is a concubine, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the family can be divided equally among all the sons. If the family is divided from the twelfth house to the single family, even if the family property cannot be divided equally with the two legitimate brothers, he can still have hundreds of acres of fertile land, a house and a shop.
They are all indispensable.
But after you get married, you can no longer expect all of this.
The wealth of Waijiufang's family is extremely thin. Even though Wang Ning is famous for being diligent and frugal in housekeeping, when his ancestral land only has more than ten acres, if he can support a scholar or a scholar, he would like to treat two with one copper plate.
How can I save money to increase my farm output?
The main reason why Wang Ning decided to marry her granddaughter Shun Niang was that besides Shun Niang being filial and reluctant to part with her old grandmother, the main reason was that her family was poor and she could not afford a decent dowry unless she sold her house in the land.
Shun Niang. But Wang Ning probably knows in her heart that even if Diantian sells her house to raise a dowry for her granddaughter, it will only be a good-looking appearance when she gets married. The consequences of having no one in her mother's family are just letting her husband's family bully her. Instead, it is better to recruit a wife to be the master of the family.
.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhen knew that her little cousin would probably have to live a hard life for a few years now, regardless of whether he would be successful in his career after he arrived at Waijiufang. She might be able to take this opportunity to "help him in times of need"...
The carriage entered the city and drove directly to the clan's mansion. The Wang Family Ancestral Hall is on the East Road of the mansion. In addition to offering sacrifices to ancestors, this is also where the patriarch and his sons handle clan affairs.
At this time, the heads of several rooms invited by Mrs. Wang to testify arrived.
Logically speaking, this ethnic relay house matter should have been done under the witness of the entire clan, but in order to save Wang Qinghong's face, Mr. Wang did not make a big deal about it.
The inner chamber only invited the heads of the fifth and eleventh chambers who were on duty this year. The outer chambers showed up in addition to Wang Ning from the ninth outer chamber, as well as the eighth and tenth outer chambers.
These two old masters and Wang Ning's husband share the same ancestor. If they were established as "Yingsuccessors", the heirs of the outer nine families should have been chosen from the descendants of these two families.
There are only two males among the grandchildren of the eighth-largest family, and their lives are much richer than those of the ninth-largest family, so naturally they are reluctant to give up their grandchildren. The tenth-largest family has three sons and eight grandchildren, and the old man in the family is really eager to have a grandson for the ninth-largest family.
But the family tradition of Wai Shifang is really hard to compliment. From the grandfather to the grandson, they are all lazy people. Not only did they waste all the money on the family, but they also raked in debts from here and there. The whole family,
Except for the third master, who was a more honest man and took an errand in the third house, the others were idle and working as helpers in the city.
Wang Ning has been innocent all his life, so why would he want a child from his tenth wife's wife to be his heir?
However, according to the rules of the world, if the Wang Ning family gives up "should succeed" and chooses heirs with "love succession", they should allocate a part of the family property to the two families, which also has the purpose of eliminating resentment and making the family and everything prosperous. Also,
Allocate one share to the clan as public property. After all, if she chooses no heirs, according to the rules, except for the share reserved for the virgin, the remaining half of the nine-fang family property will belong to the clan.
When Wang Zhen came in with the Taoist idiot, Mrs. Wang ordered the two attendants to stand by and said that the heir selected for the outer ninth house was Wang Jin, the concubine of the owner of the inner twelve house.
For the inner chamber prince, the affairs of the clan members were just a matter of fun. The only thing he was curious about was how Wang Qinghong was willing to adopt his bastard son. Even for a bastard son, it was not easy for him to grow up to such a big age. Seeing the children neat and tidy, he also
There is nothing abominable, after all, the twelve houses are not lush at all.
When the Eighth Old Master and the Tenth Old Master heard this, their expressions were a little ugly. The Eighth Old Master was dissatisfied that the clan clan interfered with side affairs beyond them; the Tenth Old Master was reluctant to part with the twelve acres of fertile land.
He inquired clearly that Waijiufang has a total of twelve acres of land, including two acres of fertile land and ten acres of middle land. Even if Waijiu Fang recruits a new wife, the heir and Shun Niang's wife will divide the property equally, and there will still be six acres of land left. According to the ten acres of land in Shangtian,
Two to one mu, seven taels to one mu for middle field, six mu of land is equal to forty-five taels of silver.
There are also houses with nine outer rooms, and there are about ten rooms in total, large and small. Even if the house is shabby, it is still worth five or sixty taels. If you add five to one, it will still be twenty or thirty taels.
Thinking that these six or seventy taels of silver were about to fly away, the old man Shi felt his heart ached. Just as he was about to speak out to object, he heard the patriarch continue: "Since the outer ninth house chooses love, the outer eighth house and the outer tenth house always have to choose.
How much compensation should be made. Regardless of the ancestral house, there are twelve acres of fertile land, and the market price is ninety taels of silver, which can be converted into ten parts of the silver. One share for each of the eight outer rooms and ten outer rooms of the clan, and the remaining seven points are left to the heirs and the living.
Equally divided among women.”
This is in line with the current rules. Even if the tenth old man is dissatisfied, he can only snort coldly and look at Wang Ning with a bad face. The ninth house can't even buy a dowry, but still have some money left? He doesn't believe it.
Wang Ning was able to take out twenty-seven taels of silver.
As expected, it was not Wang Ning who paid for the money, but Sun Wangzhen, the eldest son of the clan.
He held up a tray with several money bags on it and sent it to Mrs. Wang.
Mr. Wang picked one up and opened it. Inside were three ingots of gold ingots, one large and two small, exactly the number of nine taels. He nodded and said: "There is no cash in the outer nine houses. These three pieces of silver were borrowed from the clan house."
, this nine taels shall be regarded as the family property." After that, he handed the money bag to Wang Zhen and motioned for him to send it to the Fifth Old Master.
The fifth old man is on duty this year and is in charge of renting grain and grain matters in the clan.
Although there was not much money, this was a serious family matter. The fifth old man accepted it solemnly and looked at the eleventh old man who was responsible for keeping accounts. The eleventh old man nodded and indicated that he would take note of this amount.
There were two money bags left, and Mrs. Wang opened them one by one. Each bag also contained nine taels of silver, and ordered Wang Zhen to hand them to the eighth and tenth old ladies.
The eighth old man refused to accept it at first, and after everyone persuaded him again and again, he took the money bag with a blushing face. The tenth old man looked a little ugly when he ate. After holding the money bag tightly, he still looked at Wang Ning and Dao Chi with unkind eyes.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
It's a pity that no matter what else he wanted to do, it was already too late, because money is not that easy to get. When you get the money, you have to sign the notarization of the heir. There is clearly written on it.
, this time the Outer Nine Fangs are choosing an heir, and they have been notified to the Outer Eight Fangs and the Outer Ten Fangs, and have obtained their understanding. Now that the heir has been decided, the Outer Eight Fangs and the Outer Ten Fangs are not allowed to raise any objections to the succession in the future.
Even if the Tenth Old Master is unwilling, he still knows that if he speaks out against it, no clan members will stand by him when it comes to the clan and the twelfth clan. Besides, there is nothing illegal in this inheritance process.
Even if the trouble goes to the yamen, he can't stand on his own.
If she were a powerless clan member, maybe the Wai Shifang could forcefully "accept" by relying on their large number of people; but the Wang Ning family was a virtuous woman who had been honored by the court, and even the clan leader was polite to her, so who would dare?
Force her?
According to the laws of the imperial court, when it comes to establishing heirs, the wishes of the master's family are also the main priority.
Knowing that the situation was over, the tenth old man grasped the money bag tightly, gritted his teeth and signed his name in the place where the witness of the succession document was.
Since there is no objection to the matter of succession, the rest is to enter into the genealogy.
Wang Qinghong tried his best to remain calm and calm on the surface, but when he saw Mrs. Wang spreading out the family tree and writing, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
The day when his son was marked in his name and officially entered the family tree was also the day when he severed his relationship as father and son.
Under his name, it will be noted that "Jin, the eldest son of a common concubine, is the son of his biological mother Cui, who is descended from Qingzhou of the same clan."
When the old patriarch put down his pen, Dao Chi could not feel the sadness of Wang Qinghong and his son's broken relationship. Instead, it seemed as if he had put down something, and his heart suddenly felt relieved.
It is indeed much more comfortable to be an heir who is relied upon by his grandmother and sister than to be a bastard who is disliked by his family...
