The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 28
“Auntie, my Xu family is not a wealthy family with a wealth of rivals. It is just a dowry for the younger sister. But how much more money can be added, it is worthy of you to grab the child’s money?” The aunt said coldly through the screen.
“Hey, poor Zhuoyu has lost her mother at a young age, and now even his mother’s dowry has been snatched away,” the second aunt nodded with her veil, “If it weren’t for the uncle and wife who came to visit Beijing, wouldn’t it be like this? Did someone rob mother’s belongings?”
“Yes!” The third aunt echoed.
“Don’t say a few words!” The second uncle was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
“Impossible!” Wei screamed and ran out, flipping through the account book. “Cheng Xiuru clearly said that this is the account book of Zhuquetang!”
“Go and call Cheng Xiuru!” Lou Jianyu closed the account book in his hand, glanced at Jishi, saw that she was pale, and swallowed the scolding from her mouth, “Go and sit inside, what are you running out for?”
Wei Shi glanced at her husband and saw that he didn’t take too much harshness. He knew that he cared that the child in his stomach would not have an attack. He felt calm, turned back behind the screen, gave his aunt a fierce look, but didn’t dare. Looking to Mrs. Ping Jianghou, she sat down angrily to let the maid go smoothly.
Madam Ping Jianghou glanced at Wei, panting with anger, and drank a sip of tea without rushing her eyes. Cheng Xiuru came with an abacus, and after saluting everyone, she stood beside Lou Jing.
“This is Mr. Cheng, the accountant of Zhuquetang,” Lou Jing sat beside his second uncle and introduced Cheng Xiuru to everyone. “Father, just ask what you want.”
In the early dynasty, Emperor Chunde left the field with his sleeves thrown away as a result, and broke up unhappy.
Xiao Chengjun stood up from the ground, straightened his robe, turned and left, and Baiguan retreated like a tide behind the prince.
“This…” The ethereal real person stood there at a loss as to what to do, Qin Tianjian was busy pulling him away.
The left minister Zhao Duan looked at the straight and pure back of His Royal Highness, sighed, and turned to Shangshushengyamen. It is estimated that the emperor will look for him in a while.
“You really dare to use any means!” Shen Lian seemed to walk side by side with Chen Shichang, the right-hand man, looking straight ahead without changing his face, but the words in his mouth were yin and yang strange. “Master Chen’s courage is really admirable. .”
“The father-in-law was joking, no matter what Chen did, he couldn’t be as good as his father-in-law.” Chen Shichang said in a humble tone.
Shen Lian looked at Chen Shichang gloomily, “You dare to move Taishan, if the emperor doesn’t abandon the prince, will Master Chen go and lift the temple?” After speaking, he ignored him, turned and walked into the palace.
Chen Shichang’s footsteps paused slightly, and his brows frowned slowly. He didn’t expect to be hated by Shen Lianji. This is not good news.
“That’s the madam’s dowry. There is still a jade and white hosta and a set of colored glaze cups.” Cheng Xiuru’s abacus slapped, and he quickly corrected the accounts. The contents of the warehouse were only moved to the upper courtyard yesterday. There are not many things that have been booked.
The second aunt curled her lips and whispered to her third aunt: “The white hosta I’ve seen my sister-in-law bring before is really dignified and elegant, and only a beauty like the sister-in-law can bring it. I have tried it before, oops, That’s really an old woman wiping rouge-she’s ugly!” At the last few words, the second aunt raised her voice purposely.
Wei’s face seemed to have been greatly insulted, and his face was pale, and he said to the close maid: “Go and get those two things.”
“Nothing,” Lou Jing smiled, “If the wife likes it, give it to her, otherwise someone will say that I’m treating her stepmother harshly.” He didn’t plan to ask for the things that Wei had used.
Lou Jianyu was trembling with anger. Seeing Cheng Xiuru’s posture, he clearly discussed with the little beast. He deliberately took his mother’s dowry as the private property of Suzakutang and handed it to the Wei family, in order to make him shame in front of the whole family. . “You rebel!” Lou Jianyu grabbed the cup at hand and threw it on Lou Jing’s face.
“Kang Dang!” A silver afterimage flashed, and the gun in the second uncle’s hand accurately knocked out the celadon cup, falling to the ground with a crisp sound, and then the silver spear slammed into the ground with great force. The silver spear plunged straight into the bluestone floor tiles, “In front of Xu Che, swallow my sister’s dowry and deceive my nephew, do you really think that there is no one in my Xu family?”
An energetic voice resounded through the hall, and the third uncle shrank and hid beside his second brother. The second aunt behind the screen did not dare to speak anymore.
“Uncle, this is not right. Lou Jing is my son, so I can’t help but help my son in person.” Lou Jianyu was also annoyed, and said loudly with his neck.
Lou Jing smiled and took Xu Che’s arm. “Father should not be angry. Second Uncle is for the good of his father. His Royal Highness is still waiting for me to have lunch. All right.”
As soon as this remark came out, the others present were all excited, and then I remembered that Lou Jing is now Jin Gui’s princess, and he can’t hurt it at all.
“Speaking of speaking, it’s all about family wealth,” the third old lady who has not spoken suddenly said, “Women are short-sighted, how can you be as knowledgeable as women? Since Zhuoyu has married out, take advantage of today’s second uncle, The uncle’s wife is here, and all the private property that should be given to Zhuoyu is clear.”
“What the third old lady said is that my second uncle and I will return to Lingnan in the near future. I don’t feel at ease in this situation. It’s better to just follow the third old lady’s instructions and settle the accounts clearly at this moment.” Put down the tea cup and speak slowly.
“Well, since I have to do the calculations, it is considered clear today.” Lou Jianyu heard the words, but was no longer angry, sat back in his seat, and asked him to call his accountant.
Emperor Chunde himself was sitting in the imperial study room, and the more he thought about it, the less he felt, “Huaizhong, go call you right…no, call Zuoxiang come.”
“Yes.” Huaizhong smiled and went out and ordered people to go to Shang Shusheng, calling Zuo Xiang Zhao Duan over.
The memorials on the table were all impeaching the prince, using power for personal gains, forming parties, arbitrarily repairing the imperial temple, and even conspiracy. All conceivable crimes can be found here. Emperor Chunde frowned tightly, “That Where is the Taoist priest?”
“Always waiting outside.” Huai Zhong replied softly.
Emperor Chunde waved his hand and called Tao Miao in, “Can you figure out what the order is?”
Tao Miao shook the whisk, half-closed his eyes and said, “Actually, this doesn’t have to be counted. Qin Tianjian Jianzheng just didn’t dare to say it, and even the Caomin didn’t dare.”
“You said, I forgive you for your innocence.” Emperor Chunde stared at him.
“Taishan spring movement is a godsend, autumn movement is a god’s punishment,” Tao Miao stroked the long beard of his chin, “now it is autumn, it is a god’s punishment.”
“What is the punishment?” Emperor Chunde squeezed the memorial to Mount Tai in his hand. He was able to inherit the rule because all his brothers died. Therefore, he always believed that he was a king who was blessed by the heavens. He didn’t believe that the punishment was this day. Surrendered to him.
“Taishan refers to the East Palace. Punishment. Naturally, the prince of punishment is innocent.” Tao Miu lowered his head and secretly glanced at Emperor Chunde’s expression. After saying this, his palms were already covered with sweat, and he was suddenly very lucky that he was not in the hall. He said this, otherwise all officials would have heard it. If he couldn’t say it to the emperor’s heart, he would probably end up in a short time to death.
After a long silence, Emperor Chunde waved his hand to let him go down, “From now on, you will be the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor.”
Tao Miu was taken aback for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a thud, “Thanks…thank you Lord Longen!”
“Lou Jing is a married son. Forty thousand liang will buy him a dowry. The rest should go to the public school,” Lou Jianyu said, pointing to the booklet in the hands of the accountant.
Lou Jing curled her lips and didn’t refute, but raised her chin slightly, “Read.”
Standing behind Le Xian took out a thick book, not an account book, the blue cover was written with four large characters “Dayu Law”! Turning to the corner-folded page, he read aloud: “Dayu Law, Marriage and Marriage, wherever you marry a girl, you get two shares of silver in the public; where you get married, you have to marry two silvers, and you need to get a share. Family property.”
Lou Jing smiled slightly, “Only the royal family can marry male wives in Dayu. It is not an exaggeration for the father to forget this, but since he has to settle accounts today, should the father separate the property that his son deserves from the public?”
“You…” Lou Jianyu’s eyes widened, and he never expected Lou Jing to make this move. He only cared about Jinzhou’s ancestors, but forgot that this little beast was also concerned about his wealth!
“Continue reading.” Lou Jing picked up the teapot, refilled a cup of tea for the second uncle next to him, and also refilled a cup for his father who was almost out of breath.
Le Xian immediately obediently continued and said loudly: “Whenever a family is divided, parents and grandparents do not score, except for the married children. Regardless of the concubine, the son gets an equal share of the family property; the eldest son gets a double share… Dowry, belong to the son.”
“It just happens that the third grandfather is here today, so you will be your testimony to separate out my family property, so as not to annoy my father again.” Lou Jing handed the presiding paperwork prepared by Le Xian to the third grandfather.
“Okay, okay, okay!” Lou Jianyu slammed the cup on the table, “If you want to divide the family property, you have to divide the family property, but you have to merge the ancestors of Jinzhou into the public.”
In the final analysis, the division of the family is the things in the public account. The sacrifice of the field and the ancestral property are not divided, and they are directly attributed to the heirs. Now the heir of the Lou family is Lou Jianyu, so all the sacrifice fields and ancestral properties belong to him, so there is no need to share it.
“Isn’t my father joking?” Lou Jing took the brocade box in Le Xian’s hand and took out one of the papers. “Jinju’s industries are all my private property. It was the silver that my grandfather used when I was thirteen years old. It was bought with the big seal of Jinju Governor and signed my name.”
Lou Jianyu was holding the paper, and only felt that his eyes were dark. If it weren’t for the support of the little servant next to him, he would have fallen to the ground. After a sigh of relief, he tremblingly pointed at Lou Jing, “Nizi… Nizi what!”
