Mrs. Zhou's body is not good, but she has not reached the moment of life and death, but she said that she would arrange the afterlife, it is said that the old man is taboo about these, and it is difficult for people to say anything when she puts it forward directly.

"Auntie, your body and bones are good, and when you are raised, you will watch Wen Xuan grow up and become a family and wait to hold your great-grandson, what will happen after death, how unlucky." Merriam-Webster stepped forward and said with a grin.

Wang Mingshen and Wang Mingzhao also stepped forward to convince them, but Mrs. Zhou just smiled bitterly, "Life and death are fate, blessings and misfortunes, today is fine, who knows what tomorrow will be." It's also safe to arrange it as soon as possible. ”

The meaningful words fell into everyone's ears, and after a few back and forth, Mrs. Zhou wanted to express too many meanings.

Wang Ge'an nodded with emotion, "Brother and sister, how do you want to arrange it?" ”

"There are three misfortunes in a woman's life: the loss of her father in youth, the loss of her husband in middle age, and the loss of her son in old age. Brother and sister occupy two of the three, must be what I did in my last life What heinous bad things I did, this life to receive this retribution, this year or so I eat fast and worship the Buddha day by day to ask the Bodhisattva to bless Wenxuan safe, the Bodhisattva saw my sincerity, let the spring peach send Wenxuan back. From now on, I would like to live in the Buddha hall and devote myself to worshipping the Buddha. Mrs. Zhou clasped her hands together and looked pious, "Only by accumulating good causes can there be good results, in addition to my son, there are also Tian Gui and Tian Zhu in our room, they respect me as a mother, I naturally can't ignore their livelihood." ”

Wang Tiangui and Wang Tianzhu only then understood why Mrs. Zhou recognized Chun Tao as a righteous daughter but let them come to watch the ceremony, not as a deterrent, but to talk about the separation of the family.

Wang Tiangui showed joy, it is said that they are concubines, and how much they can get from the division depends on the old lady's happiness, since the old lady has proposed it now, it will naturally not be too little.

Everyone in the Wang family couldn't help but sigh when they heard Mrs. Zhou's words. Their room has changed dramatically in the past two years, and the people have withered, looking at Mrs. Zhou's gray hair and Wen Xuan, who doesn't know the world, everyone also has a little pity.

Wang Mingli lowered his head, his eyes were gloomy, and he had already guessed what Mrs. Zhou was going to do.

"Each of your two brothers has five shops and a yard, and you must take good care of them in the future, and they must not be wasted."

Wang Tiangui swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, trying to suppress the benefits on his face. Wang Tianzhu still looked deferential, and only said yes.

Everyone in the Wang family was stunned, with the attitude of the Wang family towards the four concubines, such a generous gesture is really surprising, ten shops and two courtyards are enough for the two brothers Wang Tiangui to live decently, but I don't know which shops Mrs. Zhou plans to give them. Everyone looked at Wang Mingli meaningfully, everyone knew that the shops of the Wang family's big house were now taken care of by him, and he had not poured the things of the big house into the name of the second room for more than a year, and the business of the big house was not good.

Old Madam Zhou raised her hand, "Steward Wang, you can read these shops to everyone, so that everyone can be a witness." ”

Not to counsel, but to witness. Mrs. Zhou is now the only one in the big house, and how to dispose of the family property does not need their consent, Mrs. Zhou took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Chengde, Wang Chengde took it, and read it aloud: "There are two courtyards, which are the two courtyards in Qingzi Hutong in the south of the city and the two courtyards in Xuefu Hutong; There are ten shops, preserved meat and dim sum shops on Silk Street; restaurants and teahouses on Qingzi Street; There are also six shops of the Wang family in other states and counties. ”

After listening to this, Wang Tiangui couldn't hold back his smile anymore, these shops are doing well, I really don't know how Mrs. Zhou got a bodhisattva heart today. Wang Tianzhu secretly clenched his fists, these shops are the most manpower arranged by Wang Mingli, and now Mrs. Zhou wants to give the shops to the two of them, Wang Mingli can let go.

"This is the title deed of ten shops and the deed of two courtyards, you keep it, as for how you two brothers divide it, the old body will not make decisions for you; There is also the fact that you can take away the things in your own yard, so pack up and move out this month, the Wang family's mansion was originally left to Wenxuan by Mrs. Tai, so you should move out early and make plans as early as possible and live your own life. Mrs. Zhou took out the title deed and handed it to Wang Chengde, and Wang Chengde handed it to Wang Tiangui.

Wang Tiangui took the thing with trembling hands, and said excitedly: "Thank you, mother." The son must take good care of the shop and honor his mother. ”

His unpromising appearance made everyone look at it and couldn't help but shake their heads, Wang Tianzhu asked respectfully, "Thank you, mother." I don't know how to arrange the guys in the shop and the people in the courtyard? ”

Old Madam Zhou glanced at Wang Mingli, "The subordinates who belong to our room are all left to you." In the past two years, the old woman's body has been poor, and the housekeeper Wang has also been wrongfully imprisoned by you, and the business of our house has been taken care of by the second master, and these shops have not made the second master 'bother', as for the people in the second room who help us 'take care' of the business, the second master is in charge, you just took over the shop, and you have to learn more from the second master, don't be presumptuous. ”

These ten shops are the most installed by Wang Mingli, except for the subordinates of the big house, who are not interested in him, they have been driven to other shops, and those who are left are his people, and Mrs. Zhou disdains to take back these subordinates.

The affairs of these shops and yards, Wang Chengde and his son have been very clear during the time they came back. The courtyard of Xuefu Hutong was about to go when Wang Gewu was alive, saying that he was reading cleanly, but Mrs. Zhou didn't care about it at that time, but she forgot to give him the deed; The courtyard of Qingzi Hutong is where Wang Mingli often calls his henchmen to discuss things. Bringing up these two courtyards, Wang Mingli's face was naturally not good-looking.

Tian opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. She naturally has no part to speak about Dafang's disposal of her private property, but in her private heart, she has already regarded these as things of their husband and wife, and Mrs. Zhou is digging her flesh by doing this, Tian Shi felt that her heart was throbbing.

Wang Tiangui doesn't have so many eyes, he has lived by looking at Wang Mingli's color for more than a year, and now Mrs. Zhou has given him things, so that he doesn't have to look up to people anymore, he has confidence, before he came, Wang Mingli told him to strongly oppose Chuntao's adoption of Wenxuan, and now he doesn't care, being able to hold his family property is the most important thing.

"Second brother, you have bothered a lot in the shop during this time, Tian Zhu and I thank you here. In the future, when we take care of the shop, we have to ask the second brother to help more. Wang Tiangui followed Wang Mingzhe to do business, and in his opinion, he still has the ability to run a few shops.

Wang Mingli had adjusted his expression at this time, and just nodded with a light smile. Tian Shi looked at him like this, and only lowered his head and secretly tore his handkerchief to relieve his anger.

Old Madam Zhou glanced at them, and then said, "As for the other things in the big house, how many or how many will be kept for Wen Xuan after the old woman dies." Big brother, do you think this can be done? ”

Wang Ge'an nodded, such a division is indeed no problem. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhou didn't give her a share after recognizing Chun Tao. Wang Ge'an looked at Chun Tao and saw that she was just standing smiling next to her, not seeing any emotion, for some reason his expression made Wang Ge'an feel bottomless, as if she had all the things in her hands.

Mrs. Zhou continued: "Mrs. Tai and my son passed away one after another, and the old woman was in a trance at that time, so she entrusted the affairs of the family to the second master to take care of it. Now that Wen Xuan is back, Steward Wang has also been released without guilt, and the old body can still hold up, so he doesn't bother with the second master. I heard that the second master is going to participate in the next township test, this is a major event for the glory of the ancestors, and I dare not delay the second master's time because of the shop. ”

Everyone's mouths couldn't help twitching, and the black and white flowers all let her say, just now she said that she was weak and had to deal with the aftermath, and now she said that she was strong and had to take care of the family's business. However, Wang Mingli wanted to participate in the township examination, which surprised them, and they must know that to participate in the township examination, they must first show their talents, although Wang Mingli's book is good, but he still did not get into the show, is it possible that he wants to trust his father-in-law's back door?

Most people in Meixian County know that although Tian Zhixian is fair and selfless on the surface, he only recognizes silver in private. Wang Mingli was able to get through his relationship to do this, and it is estimated that it cost a lot of money. The business of the Wang family shop is not good under his care, many shops are difficult to maintain and close, and he still has money to fill the mouth of the old man? The hearts of the people were full of contemplation, and they exchanged glances with each other.

Wang Mingli was stunned, not many people knew about the fact that he was going to participate in the imperial examination, how could Mrs. Zhou know? He frowned slightly, and squinted his eyes over Tian, it must have been this mother-in-law who accidentally said something.

Tian pouted aggrievedly, she didn't remember saying it. Lan Yi only stood quietly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, but she thought in her heart that Mrs. Zhou didn't care about things for more than a year, but after all, she was in charge, and now she really has two brushes when she gets serious.

"Mingli, are you going to take the township test?" Wang Ge'an asked.

Wang Mingli bowed down and replied, "Uncle, my nephew does have this intention. But this is also a matter for the future, after all, the nephew has to pass the child test before he can succeed. ”

Wang Ge'an stroked his long beard with relief, "Yes, our Wang family has been in business for generations, and until now, only your eldest brother Mingzhe is a showman." If you can study hard, Zhongxiucai will be promoted, and the title of the gold list will be named, and our Wang family can also change the style. Your aunt is right, you will study hard in the future, and leave the affairs of the shop to the subordinates. ”

Wang Mingli had no choice but to nod yes.

Mrs. Zhou also looked at him with kindness, "When the old man was alive, he said that the second master worked harder than the uncle, and he also read better, if the second master can read with his heart, he will definitely be able to succeed, and the master will be happy when he sees the spirit of the sky; The old woman is finally worthy of her deceased second brother and second brother and sister. ”

Wang Mingli heard Old Madam Zhou mention his parents, his face was respectful, but Lan Yi looked sideways and saw that his left hand on his back was clenched hard, and his index and middle fingers were tightly clasped on the wrench on his thumb.

Such an action showed the fluctuations in his heart, Lan Yi raised his eyes and looked at Wang Mingli carefully, speculating on his true thoughts.

Old Madam Zhou continued: "Our Wang family has not renovated the ancestral hall for more than ten years, right? I heard Steward Wang say that when I sent Yao's god tablet in a few days ago, I found that the windows of the ancestral hall were a little damaged. ”

Several old people of the Wang family nodded one after another, the Wang family is not a beautiful situation now, the three brothers of Wang Gewu are the best, Wang Ge'an has always wanted to persuade them to take out the silver to repair the ancestral hall, but they have not succeeded. Wang Mingli said two years ago that if he could be in charge of the family, he would definitely take out the silver, but in the past year or so, Wang Ge'an has hinted several times, and Wang Mingli has only shirked it.

"What my sister-in-law said is that the damage to the ancestral hall is disrespectful to the ancestors. A few days ago, I dreamed that the old man who had passed away in my family for many years said that it was cold. A few old men who had been sitting quietly began to chim.

"Yes, every time I go in to worship, I feel sorry for the ancestors who passed away, and I feel shameless in the face of the younger generations."

“……”

Although Wang Ge'an didn't know what Mrs. Zhou was going to do, but she took the initiative to bring it up, he naturally wouldn't let go of this topic.

"My brother and sister said that in my heart, we are all half-cut people, how can we not worry about the dilapidated ancestral hall. But the elder brother is ashamed to be the patriarch, but the family can't get any money! Today's brother and sister have said this, I will make a statement: we have a family, those who have money to pay, those who have no money to contribute, this year we must renovate the ancestral hall, so as to be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Several old people nodded one after another, "If you have money to contribute, you don't have money to contribute", which was exactly what they were thinking. You must know that if you take out the money to repair the ancestral hall, they can also get some benefits from it. R1152
