Shen Ke finally left after eating the morning meal. He even went to the elementary school with Brother Go early in the morning and waited until the children had their morning classes before returning to eat the morning meal.
After seeing off Shen Ke, the ship and a half of silk that Zhao Dalang told Lu Fenghe also set off from Suzhou and will arrive in Piling tomorrow.
Not to mention that Lu Fenghe was a bitch. He had clearly figured out everything, but he had yet to decide when the boat to the northwest would leave.
Whenever Lu Fenghe makes a decision, there is always an external reason to push her before she makes a move.
Seeing that Silk was about to arrive at Piling, she couldn't let Silk stay like this on the Piling River, so she could only quickly arrange for people to load tea into the boat.
Shen Ke left ten people behind, saying that there were still hundreds more on the way and they would arrive soon.
Obviously, the ten left behind by Shen Ke should also be small bosses.
Lu Fenghe asked Jinbao and Liu Rui to take the ten people to move the tea and load it on the ship. He also told the shipping company and stewards that it was up to them to decide how to deploy their internal personnel.
With everything loaded on the ship, Lu Fenghe no longer had any excuse to delay. He was still confused about whether to leave before or after the holiday, but he had to leave before the holiday.
All the boats took the Huai River. When they arrived at Chenzhou, the four boats going to Chenzhou took the Chenzhou River, and the remaining boats took the Ru River.
The boat was arranged to leave, and Lu Fenghe seemed to have nothing to do. He either stayed at home all day or went to his old house to spend time with the old lady, but she didn't feel at ease at all.
There were more than ten shipments of goods, and all her wealth was spent on buying tea. Even the Lu family's shipping fee was still owed. She didn't even have much money to pay for the deposit. This trip must go smoothly.
Lu Fenghe went to the old house to see the old lady almost every next day. Because there was nothing to do, he went a little early. Most of the time, the old lady took a rest, so she arrived and chatted with the old lady and had tea.
Walk.
She met Lady Lu Qi several times, and Lu Fenghe greeted her politely every time. On the contrary, Lady Lu Qi's eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose.
Lu Fenghe was confused by Madam Lu Qi's blowing her beard and staring, and he accidentally let the old lady know what she said when he saw the old lady.
"I haven't offended my seventh sister-in-law recently, right? Why does she seem to have a problem with me?"
"Are you here again today?" the old lady asked.
Lu Fenghe nodded, "Yes, I met her when I just came in."
The old lady snorted coldly, "I think she doesn't have a problem with you, she has a problem with our room."
Only then did Lu Fenghe realize that she had come to talk to the old lady several times and she had met Madam Lu Qi. But she had never heard of Madam Lu Qi coming to the old lady to say hello. Even if she came to see her cousin, this
There are elders in the house, so they should come to pay their respects.
"Ah? What do you think about our sharing a room? Do you think it's unfair for us to divide our families?"
"That's about right." The old lady took a sip of tea, "It's something that only happens when families are separated."
If it were a matter of family separation, Lu Fenghe would really have nothing to say.
Their Xifu should have been separated many years ago, but after Mr. Lu suffered what happened in Kyoto, he was grateful that his younger brother risked his life to save him, and because there were not many people in the next generation, the Lu family needed to unite as one, so it never fully
The families were separated. It wasn't until Lu Fenghe's generation and Lu Dalang got married that they only divided the east and west houses.
What to give and how much to give when dividing a family are clearly written in the family tree and family rules. What things cannot be moved and can only be kept in the eldest house. What things can be divided depends on the meaning of the eldest house.
All big families are like this, and the Lu family is not a special case.
The core resources and power must be concentrated in the hands of the eldest brother. If he encounters successful children from other families, he must rely on his own ability to fight for them.
A single tree cannot grow into a forest, but there is no reason why a large family can divide everything equally.
Not to mention that the family was separated by the grandparents, even if the family was separated by the father's generation, Lu Fenghe had no room to comment. Besides, even if Madam Lu Qi had objections to the family separation, it was too late to say it now. She had a mother-in-law above her.
My eldest sister-in-law, it’s not her turn to come to the big room and run around.
Therefore, Lu Fenghe obediently skipped this topic and talked about the interesting things about Sister Zhen recently.
"Grandma, don't just stay at the house all day. Go to our house and go to the fourth uncle's house for a walk. Our house is so lively. Brother Zhi likes to run around with his brothers and sisters. There are a few
The eldest child thinks Brother Zhi is too young and always wants to get rid of him."
The old lady didn't say it, but she still thought about her great-grandson. The originally warm family had fewer children this time around. When Lu Fenghe talked about those little grandchildren, the smile on his face
There are too many.
On this day, Lu Fenghe couldn't go out. Mrs. Lu was busy, so Lu Fenghe had to stay at home and look after the children.
Some members of the Lu family also took advantage of the draft to decide on the marriage of their children. The house was a bit far away, and the betrothal man was of a lower seniority. Even Lu Fenghe would be called aunt, so the Zhao family just
Let Mrs. Lu Si go for a visit and join in the fun with a courtesy.
Ms. Lu Siniang has always been well-connected among her clan members. She also has a lot of relatives among her relatives, daughters-in-law and wives, and she can always talk to her. Whenever this kind of thing happens, Ms. Lu Siniang always knows how to use it.
Went back after dinner.
Today's evening meal had just been served at the house, and Madam Lu Si came back.
Lu Fenghe quickly stood up to greet her, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to eat dinner at night? Come on, this has just been put on the table."
Madam Lu Si sat angrily and waited for more dishes. She didn't even bother to go back and change her clothes, let alone the servants and children in the main room.
"The seventh daughter-in-law has gone too far." Mrs. Lu rarely speaks so openly and directly criticizes someone. It seems that she is really angry.
Lu Fenghe's eyebrows twitched. Could it be that his visit to his eldest aunt had no results and he started gossiping among the clan members?
Even without anyone asking, Miss Lu Si just told her everything.
"A family is divided. Even if my grandfather favors us and my fourth uncle, what's wrong? Is it wrong to favor our own son and grandson?"
"We're not even in the same room, but if we live together, do we really stop treating ourselves as outsiders?"
When Zhao heard this, she had to remind her, "Be careful what you say."
"Mom, you didn't hear what the seventh daughter-in-law said was really unpleasant."
Qin Ling'er was impatient and didn't get to the point for a long time. She couldn't help but ask, "What did the seventh sister-in-law say?"
"Just say that my grandfather is biased. Because our two families are going to serve as officials, we asked them to separate the family as soon as possible so that Qilang can't be left alone."
Lu Balang was also there, and frowned when he heard this, "Does she think the seventh brother didn't become an official because her grandfather didn't agree? She had already told her second uncle and seventh brother about this at that time."
Mrs. Lu Si waved her hands, "I don't know what you said. Anyway, at that time your fourth brother clearly said that his grandfather did not approve of becoming an official, so father and fourth uncle said they wanted to separate the family. How did this come to her mouth?
We separated the family because we wanted to get rid of Qilang."
