The family was eating the New Year's Eve dinner quietly. The child didn't drink and wanted to play. He quickly fed and went out to play. At this time, Xu Junwen rushed to Gao Lei, grabbed the ice lamp in his hand, smashed it hard on the ground, and then stepped on it with his feet, "I have nothing to play, you don't want to play either."

The incident happened suddenly. Not to mention that the servants who served him didn't react, even Gao Lei was stunned. It was not until the lamp was trampled by Xu Junwen that he came to his senses and shouted in tears: "My ice lamp."

"Brother, don't cry, I'll play with my ice lamp." Baozi comforted him.

"I will also play with my ice lamp." Kang Kang, Mantou and Dumplings both spoke out to coax him.

Gao Lei did not pick up the ice lamp from his brothers and pointed at Xu Junwen, "Bad guy, bad guy, beat you."

Chen Danxia had already come over, "Huajuan."

"Auntie, the bad guy broke my ice lamp." Gao Lei threw himself into Chen Danxia's arms.

Chen Danxia patted his back and said, "Auntie saw it." He looked back at Xu Yi and Qin, "Brother, sister-in-law, do you say that?" The child was ignorant, and the adults didn't teach him well. Chen Danxia refused to care about Xu Junwen and asked Xu Yi and his wife for an explanation.

"Three brothers and sisters, children are joking, don't take it so seriously." Qin said indifferently. Although Xu Yi didn't say anything, the expression on his face expressed the same meaning, and he had no intention of blaming Xu Junwen at all.

"Okay, okay, if you don't teach your adopted son, that's how you are parents. OK, just wait and accept the consequences of the rogue son's evil deeds." Chen Danxia took Gao Lei's hand, "Huajuan, remember your aunt's words, there is no reason to say to animals..."

"Stop, who are you calling a beast?" Xu Yi asked sternly.

"Whoever responds will be the animal." Chen Danxia said coldly. Although she came back for a few days, she heard a lot about Xu Junwen bullying Kang Kang. Sun Zhenniang had asked Qin to argue with him several times, but was disturbed by Qin's nonsense.

"Third brother, keep in mind your woman." Xu Yi said unhappily. He still needs some shame, and it is difficult to argue with his younger brother and sister directly.

"She was not scolding me wrongly, you are just a beast, and you don't care about your students." Xu Lang was in a high position and no longer wanted to care about the past with Xu A. Even Xu A made some small moves behind him, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But today Xu A was instigating Xu Junwen to bully Gao Lei, and he didn't want to tolerate it anymore.

"Xu Lang, don't think that it's great if you become a third-rank official. No matter what, I am your elder brother." Xu Yi shouted in anger. He was so jealous that Xu Lang was about to be a third-rank official. Why did Xu Lang have a good career?

Xu Lang glanced at him faintly, and Chen Danxia led the children out, finishing his words, "There is no reason to talk to animals, because they don't understand. You are young and can't beat them, so you have to go to the adults who can beat them to teach them a lesson. Be honest with them, do you know?"

"I understand, I can let my father and uncle teach these beasts a lesson." Gao Lei smiled with his back.

The word "Father" was heard, and Xu Yi's face turned pale. The only person who surnamed Gao and would call Xu Lang's uncle was the son of Concubine Xu. In other words, the child his son bullied just now was the son of the King of Yan. Although he defected to Empress Zhao and the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince had not yet been granted the title of King of King of Yan and had nowhere to settle them. If King of Yan wanted to touch him, Empress Zhao and the Fourth Prince would not be able to come forward to protect him.

"That's right, so let your uncle teach the animals a lesson. Let's go back to the yard to play with the ice lamp." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

Xu Sheng stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll take my child back to the yard to rest, and then come to pick him up later." After saying that, he took his wife and children away. The third brother didn't need his help. He disdained to help his elder brother. Leaving was the best choice.

Then Xu Shuo left with his wife and children, and Sun Zhenniang also got up and left. Xu Lang did not talk much to Xu Yi, but left with Pang Pang Pang and Zhuang Zhuang. He had no time to help others teach his son. Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xu slapped Qin Shi in the face, "Look at what you taught your son?"

Xu Junwen seemed to know that he had caused trouble, so he curled up and hid behind Qin. Several concubines in the eldest house stood beside him.

"How can I blame me? Didn't you spoil him?" Qin said with a face covering.

"Men cannot grow up with women. In the future, I will teach you personally." Xu Jie grabbed Xu Junwen from behind Qin and took him away.

"What are you guys, what are you looking at? What are you doing here? You haven't gone back to the yard yet." Qin Shi couldn't do anything to Xu Jie and threw her anger on several concubines.

Several girls were also used to the bad temper of their mother's legitimate temper, and they bent their knees calmly and walked away quickly. They could bear the few bad words. The Xu family's New Year's Eve dinner ended in a bad mood. At midnight, the Xu family brothers brought their sons to set up tables to meet the gods. The dumplings that were kept by the New Year were just sent to various courtyards.

The next day, on the first day of the first lunar month, although he had only slept for more than an hour, he still had to get up and went to the village to pay New Year's greetings to Xu Kui and Shen Meiwei, and do the etiquette of his younger generation. Halfway through the carriage, he met the manager in the village. He had a hemp rope tied around his waist, and the news he brought surprised everyone, "The old man died of illness last night."

When Xu Kui came on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, he was still fine. Why did he die of illness after more than a day? Although he was full of doubts, the funeral was done. When he went to the village, he sorted out his face for Xu Kui, put it in a coffin, and sent his servants to his relatives and friends' houses to deliver fortune-telling.

It was a bad thing to receive the fortune during the Chinese New Year; Tao couldn't help but curse, "It's not easy for a bad thing to die."

"Mom, you can't find time when you die." Chen Danxia smiled. No one wants to die if he can live.

"That's right." Dow said with a lipstick.

Xu Lang felt something strange about Xu Kui's death. While guarding the mourning hall, he sent someone to check what happened in the village on New Year's Eve? Why did Xu Kui suddenly die of illness? The geese leave traces, and no matter how they do it, they will eventually find clues. After some investigation, it was discovered that Xu Kui's death was related to Empress Zhao; King Yan was furious, this damn woman!

Xu Kui was just a useless man living in the farm. There was only one reason why Empress Zhao killed him, which was that Xu Lang had to be filial and could not take over as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War; Xu Lang was not as angry as King Yan, and he had long thought that Empress Zhao would not easily let the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War be left behind; the dispute over the throne was never an easy thing, and it was normal for Empress Zhao to use these methods.

"The old man has gone. The old lady has a deep affection with him. He must be reluctant to let the old lady go with him." Xu Lang only planned to stay filial for three years, and did not want to give Zhao Hou a chance, so he asked him to stay filial for another three years.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the people from Zhuangzi came to report the death again, "The old lady died of illness."

Those who come to Xu's family to pay their respects will say, "Sincere and be mourn and follow the changes."

Chen Danxia really wanted to reply, she was really not sad, she couldn't even shed tears, so she used a veil soaked with ginger water to wipe the corners of her eyes red and pretended to cry.

Twenty-eight days later, the descendants of the Xu family carried the coffin and sent Xu Kui and his wife to the Xu family's grave and buried them next to Peng. The death of the peers made Tao think of his funeral, "After I die, don't bury me next to your father. I'm already tired of him when I'm alive, but I have to compromise. After death, I don't want to feel wronged anymore."

"Mom, what are you doing?" Chen Danxia squatted in front of Tao, "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Dow touched her head and said, "There is no discomfort. I just said that, don't worry."

"Don't say this, I don't want to hear it." Chen Danxia pouted.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." Tao smiled.

The parents died and the brothers separated. In addition to the elders of the Xu family, the Xu family also invited Duke Jingguo, who had always been fair, as well as Qin's elder brother, Xiao Wang's father, Shen Bomi, Chen Danxia's elder brother, Sun Zhenniang's uncle and Wu's younger brother, and several sons-in-law of the Xu family to attend. However, if a married daughter is not a legitimate wife, she cannot participate in the separation.

The family is divided into real estate, fields, antique calligraphy and paintings, furniture, gold and silver utensils, and servants in the family. The old clan looked around and said, "The tree is divided into branches, the people are divided into families, and the descendants are multiplied, and the family is separated. This is something that happens to every household. It is common, but your brother must remember that even if you don't live together, you are still the closest brothers of the same bloodline, a family, but they are separated."

The four brothers Xu Lang stood up and said yes.

The old clan scolded his four nephews and bowed: "Duke Jingguo, relatives and friends, please give me a testimony today and start."

Duke Jing took out a list to talk about it one by one. There are too many calligraphy, paintings, antiques, etc., so I can only think about it. In addition to the Xu family's ancestral home, the Xu family has six properties in Jindu. Qin's eyes are shiny, and the long house can be divided into at least one place.

The ancestral home is not divided according to the rules, and is inherited by the eldest son. According to the ancestral teachings of the Xu family, the eldest son allocated the most property. For Xu Kui's branch, Xu Lang received seven-tenths of property, the late Xu Chao and Xu Sheng each received one-tenth of property, and Xu Yi and Xu Shuo, the two concubines, shared one-tenth of property together.

There are very different differences between legitimate and illegitimate families; Xu Lang got the second place of the six properties, and the other four were divided into two slightly larger ones, four or five bedrooms, and two smaller ones, and the eldest and second bedrooms; Xiao Wang, Sun Zhenniang and Wu had no objection, so Qin said, "Second brother and sister, the house in Lingjiao Lane is closer to my parents' home. Why should we change the yards that are divided by our two families? What do you think?"

The eldest house was assigned to the yard of Guiliu Lane, which was close to Zheng Street than Lingjiao Lane. Most of the families living nearby were officials of fifth and sixth ranks. Most of the people living near Lingjiao Lane were wealthy businessmen. Taking a yard to exchange for a yard is not Qin's style. Xiao Wang smiled and said, "It's just two or three streets, not too far. It's only a quarter of an hour to take a mule cart. Since it has been divided, don't change it in such a hassle."

What else did Qin Shi say? Xu Yi said, "Okay, why do you have any more opinions?"

Qin then closed his mouth unwillingly.

The real estate is divided into fields; there are three fields near Jindu, two near Changping County, and four fields are far away in Heishan, two are near Yucheng to the south, and one is near Chicheng. Chen Danxia can understand why the distance between the industry is so far away, which can avoid famine.

Three farms near Jindu and the two houses in Yucheng belong to three houses, two houses in Changping County, one house to four houses, one house to five houses, one house to the eldest house in Heishan, and the Chicheng belong to two houses. The clan elder asked everyone if they had any objections, and Chen Danxia said, "I want to exchange Jindu's Kushan Villa for the fourth brother and sister in Fengshan Villa in Changping County, but the fourth brother and sister are willing?"

Sun Zhenniang knew that Chen Danxia was kind, and her orphan and widowed mother supported the door alone. Changping County said it was not far away, but it would take a day and a half. She was a woman and had many inconveniences. She stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you, my third sister-in-law."

Qin's eyes flashed and said, "Three brothers and sisters, I will use the farm in Heishan to exchange for Fengshan Villa with you."

"Not changing." Chen Danxia said coldly.

"Third brother and sister, you are too kind to each other. If you can change with the fourth brother and sister, why can't you change with me?" Qin asked unhappily.

"I'm happy." Chen Danxia said without looking at her.

Qin Shi was so angry that her chest was fluctuating, and Xu Ai glared at her.

The land and shops were divided into different stores. There were not many shops in the Xu family, only three, two grain shops and one cloth shop, all of which belonged to three bedrooms; then they were divided into gold and silver utensils, furniture and antiques, slaves, etc. When Mrs. Xu passed away, these were divided into one. Now the furniture and antiques used in each room were added to each room; the same is true for slaves, and they were served in that room. If you want more, you can discuss it with the three bedrooms separately.

After the Xu family's public property was divided, the private property of the Shenguo's concubine had to be divided; the concubine's son was not qualified to share the private property of his mother. Xu Lang had already expressed that he should not share the private property of his concubine's concubine's concubine's concubine's concubine's concubine's private property was equal to four and five bedrooms.

After signing and writing the letter of separation, the next one was the eldest, second, fourth and fifth houses moved out of the ancestral home; Xu Lang and Shen Danxia did not urge them to move, but a month later, Xu Sheng and Wu moved out first, and then Sun Zhenniang took Kang Kang to move out. However, the mother and son did not move to the house they were assigned, but moved to a two-entry courtyard on the next street. The two-entry courtyard were bought by Toren Yi Bo.

Kang Kang was still young and could not support the door independently. Sun Zhenniang wanted to rely on the three bedrooms, and Chen Danxia was willing to protect the mother and son. After another half a month, Xu Shuo moved out of his ancestral home despite Xiao Wang's opposition. Xiao Wang lived in the ancestral home for ten days and found that Xu Shuo really didn't come back. She was panicked and moved out.

Xu Yi and Qin, two thick-skinned people, were stubborn and refused to leave. They ate three-bedroom people. Although they had to eat vegetarian food, Qin was really good at finding a different way. She had to make one or two bird's nests a day, and she also had to make ginseng tea, stewed angelica eggs, poria cakes... all kinds of tonics, and eat them in different ways.

Chen Danxia didn't care about this little money, but he couldn't tolerate Qin treating the three houses as a sucker. "From tomorrow, all the supply of the eldest house will be stopped." It's been three months, and it's time to drive the eldest house away; it's better to pick up Qing'er back.
