There is no objection to this division. But there was a problem, a big problem. What's the problem! The eldest bedroom didn't take out the antique calligraphy and paintings in the gentle Hengfang Pavilion at that time, and the other bedrooms didn't have the courage to ask for them. In this meeting, each house will belong to each family, and the houses will be divided equally among the public. No matter how you calculate it, if you really want to calculate it, then it will be Wenwan. The third lady jumped on the spot. The ornaments inside are all good things. One stroke is worth fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver!
"Old Master, we have no objections to anything else. But these things always have to be taken out and divided. How could you give so many valuable items to Wen Wan? She has her own salary and fiefdom. These all belong to the Taing family. Something." The third lady stood up first.
Everyone else remained silent. According to the account, the items inside are worth five to sixty thousand taels of silver! No one wants to suffer this loss, but no one dares to say it first.
"Then tell me how to do it." The old man asked in a loud voice.
"Let Wen Wan take it out and divide it equally between us." The third master complied.
"What if she doesn't take it out! Or what if she hands over all the things?" The old Duke's words made everyone stunned. No one thought that Wen Wan would not hand over this thing. But I never thought about what would happen if I handed this thing over.
"How about giving it to her first, and then taking it back and dividing it after she gets married." The eldest lady was more tactful, but her words revealed a message of disapproval. This will force Wen Wan to take out the decorations from the place where she lives and spread the word, and everyone in the Heng family will stop being a good person.
"Who knows what it will be like when she gets married in the future. Madam, please tell me how to resolve this matter." The third lady immediately gave the decision-making power to the old madam. She knew that the old lady didn't like Wen Wan, so naturally there was a way to deal with it. If you wait a few years. Who knows what it will be like then.
"She has only one child, and she has no use for those ornaments. Let her hand them back." The old lady naturally agreed to take the things back. Moreover, they have to be delivered to her house.
"Lao Wu, tell me." Old Master Guo turned around and asked Ping Xiangxi.
"How can she use so many luxurious things for a child? I can't take advantage of my brothers, so I asked her to hand it over and divide it. It's enough to keep my share for her. From now on. I will buy some more decorations for her." Ping Xiangxi followed the principle of a gentleman's love of money.
The eldest lady wanted to object, but the new Duke remained silent. Saying yes seems petty. Even though she said she didn't want it, her father said she wanted to split it up. If you continue to oppose, it will appear that the brothers are not united, and you will pretend to be the good guy. So, staying silent is the best way.
Wenwan was very happy to hear that they came to ask for something. Immediately someone sent a message to them: "The princess said that the things can be given to you. However, please also take back this garden by the way."
The second master and the fifth master didn¡¯t even think about it after hearing this, but the old and new masters were stern and asked Wen Wan what she was doing. Blackmail them?
"The princess said. How can this be regarded as a threat? Since we want to collect it, we must naturally collect everything. There is no reason to occupy such a good garden, gentlemen, what do you think?" Xia Ying said to them. It's time to regain the taste. Wenwan is preparing to move out.
"It's okay to let the garden out. You can go back to live in the fifth room." Ping Xiangxi heard this, but he didn't object. For the first time, the Duke felt that his brother was stupid. wrong. I've always been a fool.
"Don't mention it, she almost died over and over again even though she was so far away. Moving to the fifth house would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. The princess said that her death would be in vain, and she would still be asking for her own death. The Lord Hell would scold him when he saw it. Damn it for being stupid." Xia Ying relayed Wen Wan's words. Ping Xiangxi's face turned pale, pale, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Then what do you want?" The third master was worried.
"I can give you the things, but you have to agree to the princess moving out. The prince has a villa. The location is very good, and the courtyard layout is also good. The princess plans to move there. Anyway, we hate each other when we live here. Why bother everyone?" Xia Ying didn't forget to add.
"No. You are not allowed to move out. Since you live in this garden, everything here belongs to you. We don't need it either. Don't even think about moving out." The Duke of Guo immediately interrupted Wen Wan If so, there is no room for negotiation.
Wen Wan made a few funny strokes: "Back then, the master and his wife of Ping Mansion used the princess's money a lot. You calculated so clearly that you also calculated the accounts of that year. The previous dowry has been calculated, so use it. What about the princess's money? In those six years, the income from the village and the land were all returned to the princess. It would be better if she didn't have money to buy a property. ¡±
Wenwan sneered, treating her as a princess. Although she doesn¡¯t want the Heng family?That's a crappy idea, but give it all back to them like this. Then you are not pitifully stupid. No matter what, the surname is Ping, and doing things cheaply is not a thing. Even if you take it and give it away, it is still a favor. If you sell it, you can get money to help others, and you can still get a word of gratitude from others. Even if you throw it into the water, you can still hear a ding-dong sound.
The second master looked at Wen Wan and saw that Wen Wan never mentioned those objects. Instead, they mentioned that they had used Princess Fuhui's money, and they were angry and angry. They were not generous when they should be generous, and they were desperately generous when they were not. As expected, this child is in conflict with the Taira family.
Others don¡¯t dare to say more.
It is already late August, and everyone is packing up but not moving anything. They are preparing to move out after the new year. Because the Chinese New Year is coming in three months, the old man wants to have a reunion year, so he won't let them move out. But from now on, everyone will settle his own accounts and manage his own family.
The old lady also spoke, saying that it would be difficult to move around as the girls were kept by her side and they had to go to school to learn.
"Princess, the old lady invites you." When Wen Wan heard that it was the old lady who invited her, she felt that something was wrong. However, in the spirit of being unfilial and not wanting to be blamed, I had no choice but to go to the upper room.
When Wen Wan went there, the furnishings in the old lady¡¯s yard had been changed. Everything in the house has also been changed. Painted in red and green, some of them are particularly outstanding: a large red sandalwood ornament with five hundred Arhats embedded in teeth; a pot of delicate coral bonsai; and in the Duobao attic from the corner, there are many rare treasures. Among the antique porcelain vases, the Ruyi Jade Longevity Vase is particularly eye-catching.
Wenwan glanced at it. He secretly wondered what he was doing, showing off his wealth. The style of a nouveau riche.
"Wen Wan, grandma came to you this time mainly because of your sisters." Wen Wan didn't respond. Sister, we don't need these cheap sisters. The old lady didn't respond when she saw that she didn't know how to answer the call. Fortunately, the eldest grandma is considerate.
"It's like this, Wen Wan. Your sisters have to learn from Mr. Master. So they can't leave the garden for the time being. Grandma thinks your garden is big enough and it's cheap for the sisters to live together. We can all improve and improve. Feelings, please tell me." I don't dare to offend this little aunt at this time, she is really unforgiving with her words. He nodded gently but readily. The little girls watching next to Baba almost cheered.
"The princess said, yes. She will clean up immediately when she gets back. She will move out tomorrow." Xia Ying's words immediately made the old lady who had just felt gentle and submissive. Pour cold water.
"Why do you always want to move out with only one child? Where are you going to move to? The people in the mansion must have treated you badly." The old lady was angry.
"Everyone knows whether to treat you unfairly or not, so why bother to say it out loud to make everyone look bad. But the princess said, I'm afraid that you people of the Heng family will be uneasy when the time comes. So it's better to avoid it." Xia Ying's words made her choked up. The old lady gasped.
"You are alone. Since you really want to support yourself. Well, anyway, you have a salary and a fief. You can support the servants in your garden by yourself." The old lady was angry.
"Okay." Wen Wan responded readily.
After returning home, layoffs began. Such a five-entry courtyard needs so many servants. It was given to her uncle by the palace, and she couldn't shirk it. As for the other 10, most of them are freeloaders. They have to support others by themselves and have nothing to do. Wen Wan will definitely quit. This is a kind of modern thinking. I would rather donate the money than use it to support idle people! Several nuns talked the truth and the maid persuaded. Still no use. No one can change Wenwan's decision.
Wen Wan's people who stayed. The ones who were sneaky and sneaky, and those who might be spies from other houses were eliminated. Only six who looked honest and responsible were left. Wu Jin's yard is only responsible for cleaning and moving things. Once the arrangements are made, you can still take a vacation. Things outside the yard are no longer under her control.
When the eldest lady got the news, she was shocked. She thought that a slave had bullied Wen Wan. When she found out the cause and effect, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It means that this part of the money should be paid out of the public account and does not need to come out of her pocket. Several girls were like that before.
Wen Wan refused very clearly, saying that it was not that she couldn't afford to support them, but she just didn't want to support idle people. She has to rely on her grandfather to support herself. How can we raise more idle people? When they returned to Hengfang Pavilion, they sent the selected people to the main room.
However, each of the remaining six people received a monthly salary increase of 30%. Those who stay will no longer be depressed after receiving the news. There are more than 20 people, and the remaining six people are all doing their jobs honestly and have no background. Although they are a little tired, their monthly salary is high and they have holidays every month. For them, it is like falling into the sky. The person who sent him away was a little upset.
When word of this got out, Mr. Guo scolded both Ping Xiangcheng and Ping Xiangxi. jointly and severallyMrs. ?? also gave me a lesson. The old lady was so angry that she even believed that this granddaughter came back to defeat her. Once inside, everything goes wrong. But she couldn't send him away even if she wanted to. She was eager to leave!
Because of Wen Wan¡¯s persistence, those people were not sent back in the end. However, a special carriage was equipped for going out, and two guards were taken with him when going out. The food is also cooked separately. This is because she sends someone out to buy it, and it is no longer provided by the kitchen. All of Wenwan's expenses will no longer be borne by the Taira family. It's all her own money. In other words, she now supports herself. Of course, that's not entirely true. To be precise, it was the emperor who raised her.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Old and young, Ping Guo Gong said all kinds of things, but Wen Wan didn¡¯t even listen. He only said that he had enough salary and money to support himself and his servants. It doesn¡¯t need to be raised by the Taira family.
The two of them felt slightly chilly after hearing this. Knowing that she wanted to establish a clear relationship with the Heijia. But after what happened before, no matter how close they are to each other, blood is thicker than water, they themselves can't speak. Whatever you say or do, it's too late. Seeing her tough attitude, neither of them could do anything.
In this way, Wen Wan is indeed considered **. Grooms and bodyguards, Wen Wan had already completely distrusted the Ping family, so she sent a letter and asked Butler Lin to select three smart people from the palace to send them, two guards and one groom. After the old Duke found out, he insisted that the Ping Mansion should have at least one guard, otherwise it would be too ugly. Wen Wan thought about the people coming out of the Duke's mansion, and it would be a good time to find out more information. Although I am impatient with these people, it is still good to know more information. The most troublesome thing here is the lack of information. (To be continued)
