Two legitimate sons and one concubine, each room received different things.
Especially the third-bedroom apartments are allocated the least things.
But if you say it's unfair, others are fair too.
Uncle Yao is the eldest son of the eldest son. He was allocated the old house in the capital and the properties in the hands of Mrs. Yao. In addition, the whole family had previously supported Uncle Yao in the imperial examination and became an official, and he had established a firm foothold in the capital.
Let's see how far he can go in the future.
The second room is not bad either.
Although Mr. Yao has no official status, as a martial arts scholar, he can become a minor official at any time as long as he is willing.
He had not been an official before, just because he stayed in the capital to take care of the old lady Gu Qingling, and the Yao family had other arrangements, but he had never been an official, running errands there and presiding over various matters of the Yao family - Uncle Yao was not here.
As the only adult male in the Yao family, he had to run for something that needed to be done.
In addition, Mrs. Yao Er has a lot of property in her hands, and she is the richest among the three families.
The third bedroom got the least stuff, but he didn't lose.
One, when the old earl passed away, the Yao family had nothing. According to the family property at that time, he could get a few hundred taels of silver, and a dilapidated yard would be good.
But now he has not only become a local official, but Mrs. Yao San also has several properties in her hands. It is clear at a glance that he will not be short of money in the future.
The third wife seems to have a small share, but she is the best-off and the most blessed among the many "bastards".
Chief Yao and his clan elders dare to swear that in Jinling, except for those who are truly capable, there are probably not many bastards as "lucky" as Mr. Yao.
Even the parents and children of several elders of the clan, if their families are to be separated in the future, the things they will receive may not be as good as Sanye Yao.
It's no wonder that as the representative of the third family, Mrs. Chen didn't have any objections when the family was separated. It was entirely up to Mrs. Yao and Gu Qingling to do whatever they said.
After careful consideration, Chief Yao felt that he seemed to know the reason why the Yao family in the capital was so peacefully separated.
"I know, the reason why they are so peaceful is because the old lady has already made arrangements..." Chief Yao said with bright eyes, "Have you noticed that the items allocated to each house are basically several years old?"
Before, all parties had something in their hands. In other words, when Mrs. Yao arrived in Jinling with her children a few years ago, she was already preparing for the separation of the family."
The clan elders were stunned: "You started preparing so early?!"
"So the old lady is awesome! She's so foresighted. Except for the fame and fame, which are earned by the gentlemen themselves and all based on their ability, none of the other property they received is in the hands of the ladies? Every lady
They are responsible for different businesses. The one in the capital is Mrs. Yao, the one in Jinling is Mrs. Yao. Although the third Mrs. Yao does not have Baixiang Pavilion, she has other shops..." Patriarch Yao counted them one by one.
These shops did not exist from the beginning. They were slowly purchased after the Yao family from the capital arrived in Jinling.
But at the beginning of the purchase, Gu Qingling did not keep it in his hands, but distributed it to each house, letting each house take responsibility for it.
You are responsible for yourself, use your own people, and whatever you earn belongs to each house.
So a few years later, the families were separated, and each house couldn't get into the hands of the other houses - it's not that I didn't give it to you, I gave it to you a few years ago. How it works depends entirely on the ability of each house.
What the Yao clan elders don't know is that in addition to these businesses on the surface, the third family of the Yao family actually also has some secret businesses. If they knew that the family properties they saw only accounted for half of the total capital, they would not be envious.
die.
Is this enough? Is it just half, or should we take out all of it?
My dear.
In just a few years, how much wealth has the Yao family in Beijing accumulated?
Can the Yao family in Beijing just make money like this?!
If they ask, Mrs. Yao will definitely tell them: "It's not that our Yao family can make money, the key is that the old lady has a golden touch, and she can make money wherever she points."
"Following the old lady, you're not doing business, you're just picking up money."
…
As soon as the news of the separation of the Yao family in the capital spread in Jinling, many people were shocked.
"No, the family has actually been separated. Didn't you say that the parents didn't separate the family even though they were together?! Isn't this Mrs. Yao crazy?!"
"I don't think I'm crazy, but..." someone pointed to the capital and said, "I've made preparations in advance. Those rumors are probably true. Mrs. Yao was worried that she would destroy the entire Yao family by herself, so she
Hurry and separate the rooms. If things get weird over there, they won't wipe out all the Yao family."
"If that's the case...then it's right for us to withdraw our investment at this time. Fortunately, we have withdrawn our investment. Otherwise..."
…
Everyone was immediately grateful. Fortunately, they reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.
When Mrs. Li, the wife of the prefect of Jinling, heard the news, she was restless. She discussed it with the prefect Sun and decided to quietly pay a visit to the Yao family to see if she could help. It could also be regarded as an end to the friendship between the two families for so many years.
.
After all, what Jinling is like today is also due to Mrs. Yao. They took advantage of other people's blessings and did nothing. That would be a bit too heartless.
However, the prefect’s wife also wanted to make it clear to Mrs. Yao that the Sun family was weak and could not possibly fight against the royal family for them.
What they can do is take care of those who have not been affected.
Gu Qingling was very grateful for the arrival of the prefect's wife: "Don't worry, I've heard about those rumors in the capital. But those rumors can't hurt me. The reason why the Yao family is now separated is that they have already planned it, but they can't be found."
When I found the right opportunity, I put it off until now.”
She smiled and nodded at the things that the three houses were now allocated. Basically, they were the properties that the three houses were responsible for before. Because they had been prepared in advance, the distribution went very smoothly without any twists and turns.
"Old Mrs. Yao has a reputation for foresight and has prepared it long ago. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to separate the family suddenly." The prefect's wife said, "I have to learn your skills well, even if I
If I can’t use it myself, what if my daughter-in-law needs to use it in the future?”
"You really need to plan for things like family separation in advance. You can't just pretend you don't know anything and live in a muddle just because your children are still young. Children grow up quickly, and they grow up in a blink of an eye. Marrying a wife and having children is very fast. It's important.
It would be really troublesome to come all of a sudden without any preparation."
The two discussed the topic of "safe separation" for a long time.
After a while, Mrs. Yao Er, who had finished her work, came over to say hello and joined the discussion.
She boasted that Gu Qingling's "arrangement" was good, and she had to prepare for her three sons early, lest it would be too late when they grew up, and she also said she was partial.
"Is it normal to be biased? Ten fingers have different lengths. The eldest son, the youngest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady. I am an old woman, why can't I be biased?" Gu Qingling said with a smile, "What's wrong with bias? I'm biased.
.”
Mrs. Yao Er immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "Yes, yes, the old lady has been partial all her life, and her daughter-in-law has nothing to say. But no matter how partial the old lady is, she will give each house what they should give, whether it is the eldest brother or sister-in-law.
The third brother and the third younger brother and sister are all convinced by the old lady's arrangement without any objection. I can't learn the old lady's skills, so I still try my best to "a bowl of water is balanced", so as not to have any objections.
The old lady didn't learn her skills when she got it, so she capsized on her own first."
