Chapter 640 If this is part of the transaction...
As the host, Mrs. Yao second wife invited her elder brother and sister-in-law to have tea.
"I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Brother, sister-in-law is a guest today. Maybe I want to ask us if I have something to do?" Mrs. Yao said with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, don't have to worry, you can say anything bluntly."
"Since you have asked, we won't let you go," Mrs. Yao said straight to the point, "We are here today just to ask about the old lady's remarriage. Last time you wrote a letter saying that there was something else, and it was not convenient to say it in the letter. You can tell us now, right?"
...
Although I had already guessed it, I was still very surprised when I heard Mrs. Yao explain the reason.
It turns out that the old lady remarried Prince Chong, which really has "another hidden truth".
It’s just that this “hidden truth” is beyond their imagination.
They always thought that the old lady "remarried" Prince Chong for the sake of the Yao family. Who knew that it was not just that, there were some other transactions in it.
But I don’t know what the specific transaction is, Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao are not sure.
Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao discussed it for a while, but finally did not go to Gu Qingling to ask in detail. Since they already knew what was going on, it would be great if they had a judgment in their hearts. The old lady was unwilling to say that it would be useless no matter how much they asked.
I just hope there is peace and no more troubles.
They didn't look for Gu Qingling, but Gu Qingling took the initiative to find the two of them and asked them if they knew the reason why she "remarried"?
The couple knew that they went to the second room to inquire about it, and the old lady knew about it.
They did not hide it and replied, "know."
"Since you know, I won't say much. I'm here to come here today to tell you about the separation of the family." Gu Qingling said, asking the eldest maid Chuntian to take over the contract signed for the eldest house and handed it to the two of them. "I said it in the letter before, but it may not be clear. If you have any questions, you can ask now. Don't ask me again afterwards, I won't admit it."
Mrs. Yao took the contract, looked at it, and it was almost the same as what she said in the letter, and then handed it to Mr. Yao.
"Mom, have you started to prepare for the separation of the family long ago? My son has no objection." Mr. Yao received Mr. Yao's look and replied, "I'm basically staying in the capital. It's really easier to distribute the things over there to us. The second brother and sister-in-law stayed in Jinling, and on the one hand, they left a way out for the Yao family, and the other things on the Jinling side can also be handed over to the second house for care. As for the things in my mother's hands... they are things that my mother uses to support her. My son is not so shallow, and even my mother's support her is to focus on her."
"Just not stare at me. I think I am already very good to you brothers and sisters, especially you, who sent you to the Hanlin Academy with the "Da Ming Daily" in your hand. As long as you don't make any mistakes, even if you don't rise, your life will be almost the same." Gu Qingling said, "The Baixiang Pavilion in the capital is also your big house, and the wife also has some other industries... I have arranged each house in advance. As for what I have in my hands, except for leaving one for Master Yao Jiu, the rest will be used as my dowry to take Prince Chong's Mansion. Don't think about these. Before I close my eyes, I will help you. How far I can go depends on yourself. And if I close my eyes, I will have nothing."
Gu Qingling was very straightforward and had already divided the family's property a few points, each house was divided into each house.
It is convenient to separate the house now, so it is better to have each house.
Perhaps, the things in her hands were still thinking about them, and they would be divided after a hundred years.
But now it is different. Now she has "remarried" and brought it into Prince Chong's mansion. I don't know who will fall into the hands of her in the future.
Even if Gu Qingling still leaves something for the Yao family, she will not say it now, only seeing what the situation was.
In front of Gu Qingling, Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao naturally had no objection and agreed to them one by one.
But after turning his back, Mrs. Yao couldn't help but talk to Mr. Yao about what Gu Qingling had in her hand.
It was said that the Jinling was left to the second house, but Gu Qingling did not hand over the several farms, craftsmen workshops, etc., and kept it in his hand and held it tightly.
What Mrs. Yao Er pinched was just the ones she pinched before.
Uncle Yao frowned and said, "What's the point of saying now? Before the separation, it was almost the same."
"But when we split the family, the distribution was not in Jinling. It's not that the old lady and the second wife had the final say? It was said that all the things were in the hands of the old lady. We don't know if we were given more." Mrs. Yao threw a handkerchief and evoked Mr. Yao's memories together, "You forgot that the old lady has always been partial to the second wife. This has not been a day or two. When did the old lady divide the things in the past, when did the old lady divide the two more women?"
Mr. Yao: “…”
Not only did the Yao family fall later, they had to sue for their residence in Jinling, and the old lady finally made some improvements and knew that "a bowl of water was enough to help them" and began to build a large house. I guess they would not be able to get a single copper coin in their large house.
It can be said that compared to the things assigned to the big house now, it is already an "unexpected joy".
"Just in front of the old lady, my daughter-in-law was hard to say anything. Unexpectedly, you didn't say anything, and didn't even ask a question." Mrs. Yao was discouraged. "Any farming farm or two, and you can give it to Sister Xin as a dowry in the future. Sister Xin can live a more comfortable life in the future."
"What should I do now? Should I go back and say it to the old lady? I have said everything." Mr. Yao felt a little embarrassed.
What's more, he is now an official, and if he can take back what he says, how can he meet people in the future?
"I know, I just... I just feel a little uncomfortable, and I feel that our big house suffered a loss." Mrs. Yao sighed and said, "In the future, the old lady will come to the capital. Let's find a way. There are so many things, the old lady can't bring them to Prince Chong's mansion? She is so old and marrying is just a decoration. It is impossible for her to have other children. If she doesn't leave it to your own son, who else would she want to leave? Will she leave it to Prince Chong's other children?"
Obviously, Mrs. Yao did not think that Prince Chong would only marry Gu Qingling. After Gu Qingling passed the door, there might be others in the backyard except Gu Qingling's decoration.
By then, what Gu Qingling brought would be cheaper for Prince Chong and other women's children.
If Gu Qingling is still young and can still have children after remarrying Prince Chong, and has his own flesh and blood, Mrs. Yao is not confident to say such words, 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” them, will they keep the cheaper others?
Mrs. Yao's words also reminded Mr. Yao, and he said, "What if this is also part of the effect?"
Mrs. Yao was stunned for a moment: "What does it mean?"
"Didn't the second brother and sister say that the old lady remarried Prince Chong because of some transactions they made? What if the old lady's dowry was part of the transaction?"
