Tie Kui Fanwai (135)

Fang Hui accompanied Tang back home, and Ning Hai also talked about the separation of the family with Xiao: "Tomorrow, I will call Ning Zhan over and let the two brothers separate."

Xiao is eager to separate the family earlier, even though Tang is respectful to her, but Tang's identity still makes her feel uncomfortable: "It's good to separate earlier, and they won't have disputes over the family property if we are not around in the future." .By the way, how to divide the family property, is it for the two brothers to share it equally?"

The corners of Ning Hai's mouth twitched, and he said, "Ah Zhan is 70% and Fang Hui is 30%." There are no rules. If he let Fang Hui and Ning Zhan divide the family property evenly now, his children and grandchildren will have to divide the family like this in the future. Anyang Hou will probably be ruined for three generations.

Xiao asked, "Which of the four shops are you going to give to Fang Hui?" In fact, Ning Hai bought more than a dozen shops, but his family only opened four shops, and rented out the others. These four shops together have an annual income of 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver.

Ning Hai said: "Fang Hui is not in the capital, who will take care of this shop for him?"

Xiao asked with some disbelief: "What do you mean, Fang Hui will not be given to these four shops?"

Ning Hai has considered these things: "Well, no one takes care of it, and the shop will close down within two years. Instead of this, it's better to give him two more shops and let him collect rent." It doesn't matter if you have power and power, you have to spend a lot of time and energy to manage it. Otherwise, it is easy to lose money.

Xiao Shi has no objection: "This matter, you should talk to Fang Hui carefully, so that he won't say you are biased."

Ning Hai didn't worry about Fang Hui's opinion at all: "What kind of heart is there? I was poor and broke back then, relying on the family business I set up by myself. He can get so much property, what is there to be dissatisfied with? If he is not satisfied, he can do anything. Don't want it, he can earn his share of the family business with his own ability."

The two were talking when they heard the servant girl say that Fang Hui and Tang Shi were back.

Xiao was a little surprised: "It's not even noon yet, why did you come back?" When the girl went back to the door, she would only go home after lunch.

Yu Mei said: "I heard from the woman below that Grandma Tang's eyes are red, and the uncle's face is also full of displeasure."

Xiao waved Yu Mei down, and then said to Ning Hai, "What's the matter with the Tang family? Why is the girl still showing her face when she returns home?"

Ning Hai didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter whether they are putting on face or other things, just tell Ah Hui not to go to Tang's house again." He is not a serious wife family, as long as the other party is greedy, just ignore him.

Xiao smiled and said, "Ah Hui is going back to Tongcheng soon, and he has to go back every three to five years.

He just wanted to go to Tang's house, but he didn't have the time. "Ah Zhan and Fang Hui are going to separate soon, and the Tang family wants to attach themselves to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, but they can't.

After taking a nap, Ning Hai sent someone to call Fang Hui to his study, and told him about the separation of the family: "The Ning family has no family members, and I am the only one left. I am just you two brothers, and I don't intend to invite you to separate the family." It’s an outsider, and tomorrow I will directly divide the property for you brothers.” Generally, clan elders and respected elders will be invited to witness the separation of families. Doing so, is afraid of any disputes in the future. However, Ning Hai felt that there was no need for them to invite outsiders to be witnesses.

"I listen to my father."

Ning Hai was very satisfied with his attitude, and said: "There are four shops in the family, but you are not in the capital and no one takes care of them, so you will have to close sooner or later. So what I mean is that these four shops are all for Ah Zhan, you take more shops With Tian Chan."

The Imperial Manor given by the emperor cannot be divided from the things marked with the royal seal, they have to be given to Ning Zhan. The land that can be divided is the ones bought in Ninghai.

Fang Hui had no objection.

The father and son talked for a long time, and after the conversation was over, it was already evening, and Ning Zhan went home.

Ning Zhan thought very clearly, Ning Hai was just the two brothers, even if they only got half of the family property, they would not be able to use up all the money in this lifetime. Therefore, his attitude towards family separation is the same as Fang Hui's: "Father, you have the final say on the family separation."

Ning Hai was very pleased: "The account can be settled tonight, and tomorrow you will divide the property. However, even if the property is divided, you are still brothers, and you will support each other in the future."

The two brothers nodded together.

Seeing Fang Hui coming up to meet her, Tang asked softly, "What is Hou Ye looking for you for so long?"

"About the separation?"

Tang's complexion was a little pale: "Separate the family? Parents don't separate the family. Why does the good-looking Marquis want to separate the family?"

Fang Hui laughed when he heard the words: "Father means that the tree is a big branch. Our brothers have married wives and had children. It is better to separate the family. To save our brothers from having disputes over the family property after a hundred years, it will hurt the brotherhood on the contrary." .”

Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was because my mother didn't like me, so I wanted to separate."

Fang Hui smiled and said: "You think too much. Father told me about the separation of the family two years ago. This time, I came back to Beijing to marry you and to separate the family."

Tang's reaction was quick, and he said, "After the separation, are we going to Tongcheng?"

"Yeah. We'll go back to Tongcheng after sorting out the properties we've been allocated." Having said that, Fang Hui said, "By the way, Dad said that the gentlemen in Beijing are better than those in Tongcheng. That's why Brother Zhuang will stay in the capital, not Follow us back."

Tang was not surprised to hear that, many of the eldest sons of the eldest son stayed with their grandparents.

Because both Ning Zhan and Fang Hui said that the separation was under Ning Hai's orders, and Xiao Shi and Zeng Chenfu had no objections, so the separation went very smoothly the next day.

After the property was divided, Ning Hai said to Ning Zhan, "Ah Zhan, you go out first, I have something to say to your elder brother."

Although Ning Zhan didn't know what it was, he was sure that it had nothing to do with the separation. If not, it will not be said after the division of the property.

Ning Hai handed a prepared list to Fang Hui, and said, "I'm going to transfer these properties to Brother Zhuang's name, what do you think?" The real estate shop listed on the list is part of the property allocated to Fang Hui .

Fang Hui was stunned, and said after a long time: "Father, what are you doing? Brother Zhuang is my only son, and all my things will belong to him from now on."

Ning Hai said bluntly: "Now you are only a strong brother and a son, but you will not be in a long time." It is not impossible for Tang to have children, and seeing Fang Hui's love for her, I am afraid that three or five children will be difficult in the future. Not a problem. Of course, elders naturally like to have many children and grandchildren. However, he also wanted to protect Brother Zhuang's interests.

Brother Zhuang is Ning Hai's first grandson, and he watched him grow up. This feeling is naturally very different. Now he is planning to keep Brother Zhuang in the capital, and Brother Zhuang and Fang Hui will rarely see each other once a year. And Tang's child can accompany Fang Hui every day, and it is really unpredictable what will happen after a long time.

Fang Hui was a little embarrassed: "Father, Brother Zhuang is my eldest son. Even if I have a son in the future, he is the most important thing."

Ning Hai was silent for a while, and said: "Do you know? Your mother often said that I was partial to you, that I taught you everything carefully, but never took care of A Zhan. In fact, your mother was right. From a young age to an adult, I really never cared about Ah Zhan." Whether it was academics or life-long events, it was the Queen Mother who worked hard.

How many people would envy Ning Zhan to be able to grow up beside the queen mother and then befriend the four princes! As a result, Xiao Shi seemed to have suffered a great deal of grievances. Isn't this a good thing to get cheap!

Fang Hui slandered inwardly, but said on the face: "Isn't this a special situation? If he stays with Dad, Dad will definitely teach him carefully."

Ning Hai shook his head and said, "To Ah Zhan, I really haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father." So there is no reason for his wife to blame him. Fortunately, Ah Zhan doesn't care about it and is very filial.

Fang Hui couldn't answer these words.

Ning Hai told Fang Hui about this to let him know that the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, and it is impossible for a bowl of water to be level.

"Ah Hui, just pretend that I only give you 15% of the property, and give the other 15% to Brother Zhuang! Don't worry, I will keep the property, and I will hand it over to Brother Zhuang after he gets married and has children. Son." I only hope that he can live to that time.

Fang Hui was very aggrieved. In the final analysis, Ning Hai did not trust him and felt that he would wrong Brother Zhuang in the future.

Even if he felt uncomfortable, but when Ning Hai said this, he knew that it was useless to object.

It was only when the two brothers went to the Yamen to transfer ownership that Ning Zhan knew that half of Fang Hui's property had been put under Brother Zhuang's name.

When he got home, Ning Zhan told Mrs. Xiao about it, and then asked, "Mother, did daddy tell you about this before?"

Shaking her head, Xiao said: "I never said that. You said your father is true, Brother Zhuang is only so big, why put so much property under his name?"

Ning Zhan said helplessly: "Mother, please persuade Dad to let him take care of his health and stop worrying about family affairs." How to deal with Fang Hui's property has nothing to do with him. Ning Zhan felt that Ning Hai worried too much about his health.

Xiao nodded in response: "Don't worry, I will persuade him."

Seeing Ning Zhan's worried expression, Zeng Chenfu asked, "But the transfer was not smooth?"

She has seen too many family divisions causing chaos, and some brothers have severed ties because of uneven distribution of property. The division of the Ning family went so smoothly, it made her feel unreal.

Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "No, the transfer of ownership went smoothly. It's just that Dad put half of the property that eldest brother got into Brother Zhuang's name."

"I guess my father was worried that my eldest brother would favor the children born to Tang's in the future, so I took precautions in advance. My father is really contradictory. I am afraid that my eldest brother will be wronged by marrying Tang, so why bother to let him marry?" The concubine!" There is no woman around, so just take a concubine to take care of the daily life.

Zeng Chenfu was quite critical of Ning Hai for letting Fang Hui marry the second wife.

Ning Zhan said: "Father loves elder brother, but he is afraid of wronging brother Zhuang, so he used this method. However, I think father just likes to worry. Even if Tang Shi gives birth to a son in the future, Brother Zhuang will also be the eldest son. Tang's child, can he go past him? Even if he wants to, the ancestor's family law is there!"

Zeng Chenfu has a different idea: "That's not necessarily the case. Some parents don't give the property to the eldest son, but give it to the son they like."

"Brother is not that kind of person."

Zeng Chenfu said: "Brother Zhuang loves Brother Zhuang very much now, but after 20 or 30 years, who knows what it will be like?" Ning Hai's actions at least protected Brother Zhuang's interests to the greatest extent.
