Family Has a Concubine

The main entrance of the Chu family's red lacquer tin ring was opened wide, and one could see a wide courtyard with a large nanmu tribute table in the middle, with a three-legged black tile incense burner on it, a cooked chicken that had been killed, and some tributes.

The family had known for a long time that Chu Yunpan's imperial decree was coming down in the next two days, and the servants wanted to please him, so they had already prepared it.

Cai Jie personally led a group of eunuchs and guards to stand there. In front of them, there were large red lacquered wooden boxes, carved with dragons and phoenixes on the outside, very delicate and gorgeous. On the top is a small black lacquer box, also carved with dragon patterns.

Seeing Chu Yunpan approaching, Cai Jie immediately stepped forward to say hello with a smile: "Haha, Lord Hou."

"Eunuch Cai." Chu Yunpan also stepped forward with a smile.

The two greeted each other, and then talked.

Qin Shi, Aunt Fei and others shuffled over, watching Chu Yunpan gloomily.

This is the big red man next to the emperor! It is a great honor to come here to read the imperial decree in person. When others saw him, they were always trying to please him, but now, this Eunuch Cai took the initiative to propose to Chu Yun.

Qin Shi, Aunt Fei and the others were extremely separated, but they could only stand at a distance, not daring to make a sound.

After a while, Chu Feiyang and Jiang Xinxue also came over.

Ye Tangcai looked back: "Hey, why don't you see grandma?"

"Oh, your grandmother is ill." Uncle Chu said, "Yesterday we went to see Saburo's return to Beijing. When we got home, I went to report to her, but who knew she was ill. You came back late again yesterday, I forgot to tell you."

Ye Tangcai was taken aback, very worried, but now he has to accept the order and go to the ancestral hall.

"Let's take the order first." Chu Yunpan said calmly.

"Okay." Ye Tangcai nodded, and everyone knelt down.

Eunuch Cai opened the imperial decree and read again the imperial decree proclaimed by Emperor Zhengxuan in the main hall yesterday: "Following the heavens, the emperor called, Chu Yunpan, the general who conquered the west, led the army to retreat from Xilu, educate the southern barbarians, and protect our great Qi Qian." Tens of thousands of people have made great achievements. I am very fortunate, the people are very fortunate, and the country is very fortunate. From now on, I will be named Zheng Erpin Town West Marquis, and enter the court to discuss government affairs. I will also give you a thousand taels of gold, a thousand hectares of fertile land, and a mansion. Here it is!"

Ye Tangcai smiled when she heard that.

The Qin family, Aunt Fei and others didn't want to watch Chu Yunpan's scenery, but they couldn't help pricking up their ears when they heard how much gold and land were rewarded in it.

After the imperial decree was announced, Eunuch Cai laughed and walked forward: "Congratulations, Lord Hou."

"Thank you, Eunuch." Chu Yunpan smiled lightly.

Ye Tangcai quickly took out a small purse embroidered with ingots in red silk, and stuffed it into Eunuch Cai's hand: "Eunuch Lao is here."

"Madam, you are welcome." Eunuch Cai smiled and stuffed the money bag into his cuff. This kind of reward is necessary. If you don't accept it yourself, others will feel uneasy. "Tomorrow night is the reception banquet, Lord Hou and Lord Uncle have to get ready."

"Yes." Chu Yunpan nodded, "When the renovation of the Hou's mansion is completed and the house is moved, the father-in-law must come over for a drink."

"Okay, okay." Eunuch Cai laughed.

Uncle Chu on the side was startled when he heard this, his face turned pale.

Cai Jie chatted with Chu Yunpan for a few more words, and then left with others.

When everyone left, Uncle Chu said, "Sanlang, what is the housewarming?"

"Didn't Dad understand the imperial decree just now?" Chu Yunpan said, throwing the imperial decree in his hand into Uncle Chu's arms, "The emperor bestowed the Hou's Mansion, and Tang'er and I will move there after the repairs are completed there."

"What did you say? Move, move there?" Uncle Chu was startled.

Qin Shi, Aunt Fei and others behind also changed their faces, Qin Shi said angrily: "What does Sanlang mean? Do you want to separate the family?"

"Sanlang, how can you separate the family?" Uncle Chu said anxiously, with a sad face on his face: "Sanlang... even if you have made meritorious service...why do you have to separate the family? Our ancestors have made many contributions, and they all lived in the house. Together! Always support each other..."

"Then did they help me?" Chu Yunpan sneered.

Uncle Chu's face froze.

"No matter how you say it, the third brother was also raised by the family. Now that the third brother is a marquis and has made meritorious service, he will leave behind the root of giving birth to you and raising you, and forget his roots, haha." Chu Congke sneered.

"Second brother, didn't you hear clearly just now? It was given by the emperor! The emperor also wants me to move out!" Chu Yunpan's lips raised a sneer, which meant that the emperor also asked him to separate and live on his own.

Qin and Chu Congke choked.

"Then you can also tell the emperor that you should be filial to your parents and not move out. Daqi values ​​filial piety the most... If you say that, the emperor will not force you to move out." Uncle Chu said urgently.

"I won't force it!" Chu Yunpan raised his eyebrows.

"You..." Qin's face became even uglier, "You are unfilial right now!"

Chu Yunpanjun's face turned cold: "Mother is very kind. I fought on the battlefield for several months and lost my life several times. I finally came back alive. The emperor asked me to rest for a few days, but my mother said no!"

Hearing this, Qin's head became dizzy, her face turned blue and pale, and even the servants around her looked at her with contempt.

"Sanlang..." Uncle Chu said with a pale face, "This kind of thing will never happen again..."

"Father, you don't have to promise anything." But Chu Yunpan waved his hand and looked at him with awe-inspiring eyes: "As the so-called big branch of the tree, the emperor gave the Marquis Mansion again, so I will move out. Besides, I will be marching outside in the future, and I will leave Beijing soon." There will be more, is there any difference living outside?"

Uncle Chu opened his trembling lips, wanting to say something to persuade him to stay, but thinking of what happened this morning, he couldn't open his mouth.

"Let's go!" Chu Yunpan said, taking Ye Tangcai's hand.

Over there, Yu Yang and Yu Han wanted to lift the big red wooden box on the ground, but Aunt Fei screamed: "What are you doing?"

Yu Yang frowned: "Let's move things!"

"Where are you going? Move back to Qiongmingxuan?" Aunt Fei snorted coldly, "This is something from the public house. Naturally, it should be stored in the warehouse. How can it be carried to the third master's house! The third master wants to take it all for himself." ?"

Seeing the large red-lacquered wooden box lying on the floor, Uncle Chu was shocked.

Those were all Chu Yunpan's rewards—golden thousand taels and the title deeds of those farms! This is also the family property that the emperor gave to Chu Yunpan!

Both Qiuju and Huiran's eyes widened, Qiuju stepped forward anxiously: "This is all rewarded by the emperor to the third master!"

Aunt Fei yelled and sneered, "You are also educated by a rich family, why don't you even understand this bit of rules?"

Qiuju's expression changed, and she bit her lip hard.

"Whether it's rewarded by the emperor or not, it's something from the public." Only then did Qin shi say angrily, she couldn't stop the family separation, but don't expect to be able to take away these rewards.

"Yes!" Aunt Fei nodded.

"You..." Qiuju was about to die of anger, "This is what the third master paid for with his life."

"Which of our Chu family's things didn't come in exchange for life?" Qin said coldly, "And for generations of our Chu family's ancestors, he, Chu Yunpan, was the only one who went out to sell his life, and he was the only one who got a reward? How much have our Chu family's ancestors earned?" Merit, how many rewards have been obtained, but those things, could it be that they swallowed them all? They all became the property of the Chu family! Everything we eat and wear is earned by our ancestors. Otherwise, how can we support you! Where are you? To grow so tall! To be so big! As long as the name has not been transferred to the branch, all the money earned belongs to the Chu family."

Chu Yunpanjun's face turned cold, because it was all true. He wants to be separated, and it is impossible to retreat completely.

"The gifts, including the Hou's Mansion, must be returned to the Gongzhong, plus our Chu family's property, and then distributed." Aunt Fei said. "Speaking of which, the eldest son is the eldest son. If he wants to be big, he gets 60% of the score, and the remaining 40% is the dowry of unmarried girls. The remaining 30% is shared equally between the second and third masters."

As she said that, Aunt Fei resented, thinking that 60% went to Chu Feiyang, and Chu Congke only got 15%, and she wanted to die. But if she doesn't stand on the side of Qin Shi and Chu Feiyang now, Chu Yunpan will have a big head, and she is unwilling to see such a thing even if she dies.

Ye Tangcai's face darkened.

There is only a little left of the Chu family's property, the thousand taels of gold rewarded by Chu Yunpan, the thousand hectares of fertile land, plus the Hou's mansion, that is the big head. But Chu Yunpan can only take half of these things! Putting it all together, even the Marquis Mansion does not know if he can get it.

After all, it was a mansion located on Jinglong Street, so it was worth a lot!

"What are you arguing about!" At this moment, a cold shout sounded.

Everyone was startled, when Qin Shi, Chu Miaohua and Aunt Fei heard the familiar cold drink, they trembled with fright, and only three words came to mind: Here we come again!

This old hag is always in the future, and the voice comes first! Love to blend in.
