As the host, Mrs. Yao invited her eldest brother and sister-in-law to have tea.
"There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Brother, my sister-in-law is here as a guest today. She probably wants to ask us something, right?" Mrs. Yao Er said with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, you can speak out about anything."
"Since you have asked, we won't bother you anymore," Mrs. Yao said straight to the point, "We came here today just to ask about the old lady's remarriage. Last time you wrote a letter saying that you had something to hide.
It’s not convenient to say it in the letter, can you tell us now?”
…
Although they had already guessed in their hearts, Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao were still quite surprised when they heard Mrs. Yao explain the reason.
It turns out that the old lady remarried Prince Chong and really had "another hidden secret".
It's just that this "hidden secret" is beyond their imagination.
They always thought that the old lady "remarried" to Prince Chong for the sake of the Yao family. Who knew that it was not just that, but there were some other transactions.
But what the specific transaction was, neither Mr. Yao nor Mrs. Yao knew.
Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao discussed it and finally did not go to Gu Qingling to ask. Since they already knew what was going on, they just had an idea in mind. The old lady did not want to tell, no matter how much they asked
It's no use either.
I just hope everything is safe and nothing happens again.
They didn't find Gu Qingling, but Gu Qingling took the initiative to find them and asked them if they knew the reason for her "remarriage"?
The couple knew that they went to the second room to inquire about it, and the old lady knew about it.
They didn't hide anything and replied "I know".
"Now that you know it, I won't say more. I came to you today because I want to tell you about the separation of the family." Gu Qingling said, and asked the eldest maid Chun Chun to take the contract signed by the previous eldest house and handed it to you.
The two of them said, "I have said it in my letter before, but it may not be clear. If you have any questions, you can ask me now. Don't ask me again later, or I will deny it."
Mrs. Yao took the contract, read it, and found that it was similar to what was said in the letter, then handed it to Uncle Yao.
"Mom, haven't we started preparing for the separation of the family a long time ago? My son doesn't have any objections." Uncle Yao received Mrs. Yao's look and replied, "I basically stay in the capital, and the things over there are distributed to us.
It is indeed more convenient. The second brother and the second younger brother and sister stayed in Jinling. On the one hand, they left a way out for the Yao family, and on the other hand, the things in Jinling could be handed over to the second house to take care of. As for the things in my mother's hands... they are for my mother's use.
My son is not so short-sighted about the things that come to support him in his old age, and he even looks at the things that his mother provides for him in his old age."
"Just don't stare at me. I think I've been very good to you brothers and sisters, especially you. I sent you to the Hanlin Academy with one hand and the "Da Ming Daily" in my hand. As long as you don't make any mistakes, even if
If you don't go up, this life will be about the same." Gu Qingling said, "The Baixiang Pavilion in the capital also belongs to your big house, and my wife also has some other properties... I have arranged all the houses in advance. As for the ones in my hands
In addition to leaving a share for Yao Jiuye, the rest will be taken to Prince Chong's Mansion as my dowry. Don't think about these. Before I close my eyes, I will help you to walk.
How far it goes depends entirely on you. But if I close my eyes, there will be nothing left."
Gu Qingling was very straightforward. She had divided the family's property into different parts a long time ago, and each house had its share.
Nowadays, it is convenient to separate the houses, and each house has its own house.
Perhaps the people underneath her are still thinking about the things in her hands and will wait until she is a hundred years old before they can be divided.
But it's different now. Now that she has "remarried" and been brought into Prince Chong's palace, there's no telling whose hands she will fall into in the future.
Even if Gu Qingling will leave something to the Yao family, he won't say it now, he will only see what the situation will be.
In front of Gu Qingling, Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao naturally had no objections and agreed one by one.
But after turning her back, Mrs. Yao couldn't help but talk to Uncle Yao about what Gu Qingling had in his hand.
It was said that all the things from Jinling were left to the second wife, but Gu Qingling didn't hand them over at all, but kept them in his hand, holding them tightly.
What Mrs. Yao Er pinched was only the ones she pinched before.
Uncle Yao frowned when he heard this and said, "What do you mean by saying it now? It was pretty much the same before we separated."
"But when the family was separated, our distribution was not in Jinling. Didn't the old lady and the second wife have the final say? It is said that all those things were in the hands of the old lady. We don't know whether they were given more." Yao
The eldest lady flicked her handkerchief, recalling Uncle Yao's memory, "You have forgotten that the old lady has always favored the second bedroom. This is not just a day or two. When dividing things in the past, when did the old lady not divide the second bedroom more?
Some?"
Uncle Yao: "..."
Not only was it an extra share, but if the Yao family hadn't declined later and they had to settle in Jinling, the old lady finally improved a bit. She knew that "a bowl of water is equal" and started to build a big house. It is estimated that they would have shared every copper coin in their big house.
Less than.
It can be said that compared to those years ago, what the big house is getting now is already an "unexpected surprise".
"Just now in front of the old lady, I, a daughter-in-law, can't say anything. I didn't expect that you didn't say anything, and you didn't even ask." Mrs. Yao was frustrated, "Just one or two farmers, from now on.
Give it to Sister Xin as a dowry so that Sister Xin can live a more comfortable life in the future."
"Then what should we do now? Should I go back and talk to the old lady again? I have already said what I said." Uncle Yao felt a little embarrassed.
What's more, he is an official now. If he can take it back if he says it, how will he see anyone in the future?
"I know, I just... I just feel a little uncomfortable. I feel that our big house has suffered a loss." Mrs. Yao sighed and said, "When the old lady arrives in the capital, let's find a way. There are so many things.
You can't bring all the old ladies to Prince Chong's Mansion, right? She's so old, she's just a decoration when she gets married. She can't have other children. If she doesn't leave you as her biological son, who else does she want to leave her to?
To Prince Chong’s other heirs?”
Obviously, Mrs. Yao did not think that Prince Chong would only marry Gu Qingling. When Gu Qingling passed the door, besides Gu Qingling, there might be other people in the backyard.
At that time, the things Gu Qingling brought would benefit the children of Prince Chong and other women.
If Gu Qingling is still young and can still have children after remarrying to Prince Chong and has her own flesh and blood, Mrs. Yao will not have the confidence to say such a thing. But the problem is that Gu Qingling is no longer young and will definitely not be able to have children. If they don't "take away"
"Come here, are you keeping it to benefit others?"
Mrs. Yao's words also reminded Uncle Yao, and he asked: "What if this is also part of the effect?"
Mrs. Yao was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't the second brother and sister say that the old lady remarried to Prince Chong because of some deal between them? What if the dowry given by the old lady was part of the deal?"
