The three-day vigil passed quickly, and no one knew whether Jia Mu's soul had returned or not.However, in most cases, keeping the spirit is just a kind of psychological comfort, whether it is there or not is not important, what is important is that keeping the spirit indicates the filial piety of the children and grandchildren.

After the three days had passed, the mourning hall was still in place, and according to the rules, the coffin had to be closed for seven to seven days.Of course, no one will pursue the length of time, this is just a default custom.

Jia's mother passed away on August [-]th. Due to the three-day vigil and the death of the Supreme Emperor, Jia's mansion did not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.On the contrary, there is an extra vegetarian mooncake in the snacks on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, that's all.

And after Jia Mu's first seven days, Jia Lian fell into a busy life again.Leaving other matters aside, Mother Jia and Li Wan's dowry had to be brought back quickly. If it was too late, once it was dismantled and put into the treasury, it would be wishful thinking to get it back.Fortunately, although the Rongguo Mansion was sealed up, the money and other things were temporarily stored in the household department after being sealed up.Except for the Rongguo Mansion, other veterans' families also dealt with it in the same way.Therefore, when Jia Lian hurriedly handed over the pleadings, someone quickly started to deal with it.

Today's meaning is very clear, since the person is acquitted, the dowry can naturally be returned.But there is a saying, the King of Hades likes to see little devils in trouble, even with today's will, it is impossible to get all the money back.Fortunately, Jia Lian is not greedy, and he doesn't take things that fall into his hands, so he can take as much as he gives.Perhaps because Jia Lian's attitude was good enough, he was never embarrassed, and after only seven or eight days, he was notified to go to the household department to collect money.

The day I went to Hubu was a light rainy day, although the weather was not very good, it could be seen that everyone in the second room was in a good mood.That's right, if possible, no one would be willing to depend on others, especially Wang Xifeng, the head of the house, is a particularly difficult person to get along with.

"Baoyu, Lan'er, you two go with me."

In order to avoid being confirmed in the future, Jia Lian simply took the righteous master along with him.The reason why Jia Lian specially called Jia Lan was not because he guessed what Baoyu was thinking, but because Jia Lian was asked to accept his mother Li Wan's dowry.

The dowry was received quite smoothly, but the amount made Jia Lian a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.As for Baoyu and Jia Lan, they are not very old, and they were brought up pampered before, and they have never come into contact with similar things. Therefore, seeing that Jia Lian had never spoken, they just looked at each other, and then remained the same. remain silent

The reply from the household department was very happy. Since it was talking about the dowry, it could only be counted as the money brought over from her natal family. The money obtained after marrying to the Rongguo Mansion definitely couldn't be counted among them.Moreover, even the dowry has been consumed over the years, so no matter whether it is the dowry of Jia Mu or Li Wan, there is no one in ten.

On the other side of Jia's mother, there are about [-] yuan of money left.On Li Wan's side, it's only [-] yuan if he counts it all.

It's a pity, no matter what, this Kui Jia's mansion is settled.Especially compared to other families who were directly ruined and completely ruined, at least the first house in Jia's mansion was kept intact, and the children of the second house were still there, but Jia Zheng and his wife and the virtuous concubine in the palace were missing.

After returning from the household department, Jia Lian ordered someone to carry the money and things to the side hall in the front yard. The second house members who had received the letter had already rushed there. At this time, Baoyu called Jia Lian who was about to leave.

"Second brother Lian, you have heard what the old ancestor said, but I want to make a little change." Baoyu said.

"You want me to be a witness? Well, you go ahead, everyone is here." Jia Lian took a glance, and the second room was indeed full. Even Jia Huan, who was going to a private school, hadn't been there in the past few days. Never go out.However, the matter of dividing the family property has nothing to do with him. At most, Baoyu will be asked to pay for a wife for him, and he will be given a few hundred taels of resettlement money.

What Jia Lian didn't expect was that Baoyu didn't ask to distribute the family property immediately, but asked a maid to invite Wang Xifeng.After Wang Xifeng arrived, Baoyu explained his meaning to everyone.

Dividing the family property into four equal parts is not something Baoyu can accomplish, so he asked Wang Xifeng to come.And even though Wang Xifeng whipped Baoyu in a fit of anger, in Baoyu's mind, Wang Xifeng is still the good cousin who cared for him very much.

...It is simply a typical example of remembering to eat but not to fight.

"Then what you have to do is not to divide it into four parts, but to divide it into two equal parts, and then divide one part equally." Wang Xifeng looked at Baoyu like a fool, "Second Master Lian and Brother Rong don't need it." Break it down, everything that influences him will be left to Brother Rong in the future."

Baoyu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Sister Feng, what you said is true, so it can save a little effort. However, even if it saves effort, it still needs Sister Feng's trouble, and I will take part of my share when the time comes." Qian Cai is grateful to Sister Feng."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng gave Baoyu a rare good look, and immediately ordered someone to put Li Wan's dowry aside, and then unpacked Jia Mu's dowry for inspection.Needless to say, Baoyu was right in looking for Wang Xifeng. After all, most of Jia's mother's belongings were gold and silver jewelry, not even a pair of calligraphy and painting.

In just half an hour, all the property was divided into three parts, one of which accounted for half of all the property, and the other two accounted for a quarter each.

"Brother Lan..." Baoyu originally planned to call Jia Lan, but when he turned around, he saw Jia Lan staring at him blankly. Baoyu then changed his words, "I'd better invite Sister-in-law Zhu to come over and choose, I only want the one left." That's it."

Li Wan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't make any comments, she just stepped forward and pointed to the belongings near her.And the other part belongs to Baoyu.

It is said that back then, Jia's mother also married into the Rongguo Mansion with a red makeup of ten miles, and at that time, Jia Daishan was the Duke of Rongguo, and Jia's mother was the eldest daughter of the historian.Whether it is the dowry gift from the Rongguo Mansion or the dowry of the historians, they are all priceless.It's a pity that up to now, not even a tenth of it has been brought back, but Haolai is worth [-] to [-] silver.

Wang Xifeng divided the shares very evenly, even for the sake of "fairness", in fact, the two shares that were given out were slightly more than the remaining ones.The so-called ones here are roughly five or six thousand taels.In other words, both Baoyu and Jia Lan received money worth 6000 taels of silver, and left about 5 taels of money.

After the distribution was completed, Baoyu really took a pair of red gold head jewelry from the inside and gave it to Wang Xifeng, while Li Wan just bowed his head and remained silent.

Wang Xifeng accepted the head jewelry, but said: "I understand what Baoyu means. In fact, we are not a family after all, and it's meaningless to force them together. I was thinking, originally our family lived for several years. The old house in [-], except that it is slightly smaller, there is no major problem. I think it is better to let you live in that old house. Don't worry, you can live in it for as long as you want. Those who stay in the old house You can also order the servants, but if you want to sell it, you have to call the branch, and I don’t care if you buy another person.”

If these words were said a few days ago, it would be equivalent to blasting relatives outside.But it's okay to put it today, Baoyu's actions are obviously to clear up the relationship between the two families.It doesn't matter if he still has self-respect, or if he doesn't want to depend on others, he planned to leave at first, so Jia's house has no reason not to let him go.

Sure enough, Baoyu laughed and said, "Although I've never been there, since it's the house where Sister Feng used to live, there's nothing wrong with it. I'd like to thank Sister Feng in advance."

"Although the family is separated, they are all relatives after all, so there is no need to be so polite. By the way, you can just tell Lin Zhixiao when you want to leave. If you need help from a servant, just ask. As for the old lady's funeral, It will be borne by our family. Of course, you can come to express your condolences at any time. After all, we are all relatives with broken bones and tendons." Wang Xifeng laughed.

Baoyu was also unambiguous, and immediately said that tomorrow will be a good day, and he will move tomorrow.After a while, everyone dispersed.

After returning to his yard, Jia Lian who had been silent just now said, "Brother Feng, this seems to be different from what we discussed before?"

"It's no different. Since he is willing to give it, why don't we accept it?" Wang Xifeng raised an eyebrow, then smiled suddenly, "Besides, Second Master Lian, do you really think that Baoyu has grown up? In the first two years, I might still think that way, but unfortunately, since I knew that he chose to pretend to be disabled in order not to go to ethnology, I no longer have any expectations for him. Baoyu... will never be able to help stand up."

"How do you say that? I see that he is coping well today."

"I don't know if anyone has enlightened him. I only know that he can't keep his family property." Wang Xifeng smiled and shook her head and sighed, "Baoyu is different from you, the second master Lian. You lost your mother when you were young, and the master and wife You can't be relied on. If you want to live well, you can only rely on yourself. A few years ago, when we were still in Rongguo Mansion, didn't we often run around to be the steward and the steward's wife for a little money? Baoyu, he is I really have never suffered, and I am too ignorant of this world."

"So why don't you just let him suffer? After he loses all his money, you will give him the half of the money he left today?" Jia Lian suddenly widened his eyes, as if he didn't know Wang Xifeng. , looking at her in shock, "I said Second Grandma Lian, I just realized today that you are really kind."

"Don't think I don't know that you are scolding me in your heart!" Wang Xifeng gave Jia Lian a vicious look, but after speaking, Wang Xifeng sighed.

The disaster is not as good as the children.

In her previous life, what she was most worried about before she died was her sweetheart Qiaojie.After seeing Grandma Liu later, she suddenly understood how important it is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.Of course, it is absolutely impossible for her to let go of those criminals for the sake of doing good deeds.But she didn't want the hatred to continue to the next generation.

No matter how many faults Baoyu has, he will not be guilty of death.Similarly, this sentence can also be applied to other people in the second room. Jia Zheng is dead, Mrs. Wang is about to be beheaded by Qiu Hou, and there is no need to kill the remaining innocent people one by one.

Including Tanchun.

Wang Xifeng already understood that Tanchun didn't deliberately want to piss off Jia's mother, but she was simply unwilling.Maybe, from the moment Tanchun became sensible, she has been unwilling?I am not reconciled that I was not born into Mrs. Wang's belly, that I have such a miserable biological mother and younger brother, that my sisters who were in the same situation are living so well now, and that my future is so bleak ...

In this regard, Wang Xifeng no longer intends to intervene, and just explores Chun's virtues left and right, but nothing big can be done.The worst and worst plan is that Tanchun defrauds Baoyu of all the money on hand, and then finds a good marriage.To be honest, Wang Xifeng is quite curious about Tanchun's future.What will Tanchun's future be like without the sanctimonious parents Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang?

"Wait, Brother Feng, are you confused? Even after Baoyu loses all his family property in the future, there will still be us. But are you stupid? We can't help him again and again, and I think it's impossible to let him learn a lesson once. Baoyu learns to be good."

If you want to learn to be good, you have to learn to be good. A normal person has been in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for more than half a year, how can he be so stupid and sweet?Jia Lian thought to himself, his cousin, and that kid Jia Lan, are simply too naive, and his naivety made him feel ashamed why he was so black-hearted.

"Baoyu has to keep his filial piety for three years. After three years, he will marry the eldest daughter of the Xue family. At that time, someone will discipline him. What does it matter to me?"

In good conscience, Wang Xifeng still trusted Xue Baochai, and Xue Baochai would not be so cruel as to kill Baoyu. It was the wife's responsibility to help manage the money.At that time, Baoyu's life will be less satisfactory at best, and she will not fall to the point where she has no clothes and no food to eat. Can she be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds?

... Xue Baochai is very likely to curse her a hundred times.

"That's right! There's also Xue Baochai, who has been taken for granted!" Jia Lian slapped her hands, and immediately felt relieved.After all, even though the two families had separated long ago, and now that Baoyu had no elders, if he really ended up in a miserable situation, even if it was not Jia Lian's responsibility, he would still be criticized, and this was obviously not what he wanted.

"If Second Master Lian has free time, why don't you find a way to find out about the situation of the Xue family. There is also... the issue of the mother's dowry." Wang Xifeng pursed her lips. To be honest, this matter is really difficult. Among them The most important thing is Mrs. Wang's own confession, "If possible, I would like to visit my aunt again."
