Fang Hui accompanies Tang family back to the door, and Ninghai also tells Xiao family about the separation: âtomorrow, I will call ningzhan to come over and let their two brothers separate.â
Xiao is eager to split up early. Even though Tang respectfully treats her, Tangâs identity still makes her reply: âif we split up early, we will not be there in the future, and they will not have a dispute over the family property. By the way, how to divide the family property? Is it for their brothers to share equally? â
Ninghai mouth angle took a smoke, said: âa Zhan 70%, Fang Hui 30% Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. If he let Fang Hui and Ning Zhan share the family property equally now, his children and grandchildren will also share the family in this way, and Anyang Hou will last for three generations.
Xiao asked, âwhich of the four shops are you going to give to Fang Hui?â In fact, Ninghai has bought more than ten shops, but it only has four shops in its own house, and all the others are rented out. Each year, the four shops have a combined income of 340000 liang of silver.
Ninghai said, âFang Hui is not in the capital. Who will take care of the shop?â
Xiao asked incredulously, âwhat do you mean, these four shops are not for Fang Hui?â
These things, Ninghai has considered: âwell, no one takes care of them. The shop has to close down within two years. Itâs better to give him two more shops to rent. â To do business is not to have the right and power, but to spend a lot of time and energy. If not, itâs easy to lose.
Xiaoâs no problem: âyou can talk to Fang Hui about this so that he doesnât say you are biased.â
Ninghai doesnât worry about Fang Huiâs opinion: âwhatâs the point? I used to be in poverty, relying on my own business. Whatâs not enough for him to share so much property? If you are not satisfied, donât ask for anything. He can earn his share of the family by his own skill. â
Just as they were talking, they heard that Fang Hui and Tang Shi had come back.
Xiao was a little surprised: âbefore noon, why did you come back?â Go back to the door with the girl. Itâs only after lunch that you go home.
Yu Mei said, âlisten to the woman below. Grandma Tangâs eyes are red, and my face is sullen.â
Xiao waved Yu Mei down, and then said to Ninghai, âwhatâs the matter with the Tang family? How can you still put on your face when you come back? â
Ninghai didnât care: âit doesnât matter whether they put on their faces or anything else. In the future, let ah Hui stop going to the soup house.â He is not a decent wife. He should be greedy and unreasonable.
Xiao smiled and said, âah Hui is going back to Tongcheng soon. He will have to go back once in the next three or five years. He just wants to go to the soup house, but he doesnât have the time. â A Zhan and Fang Hui are going to separate soon. The Tang family wants to climb Anyang Houfu, but they canât.
In the afternoon, Ninghai sent someone to call Fang Hui to his study and told him about the separation: âthere are no clansmen in Ninghai family, so Iâm the only one left. Iâm just your brothers. Iâm not going to invite outsiders to separate my family. Tomorrow, Iâll directly divide the property for your brother. â In general, the clan elders and respected elders will be invited to testify. In doing so, we are afraid of any disputes in the future. However, Ninghai felt that they did not need to invite outsiders to witness.
âListen to my father.â
Ninghai was very satisfied with his attitude and said, âthere are four shops at home, but if you are not in the capital, no one will take care of you. Sooner or later, you will have to close. So I mean these four shops are for Zhan. You should take more shops and farm produce. â
The imperial villa and the things marked with the royal seal canât be separated. They have to be given to ningzhan. What can be divided is what Ninghai bought.
Fang Hui has no objection.
Father and son talked for a long time. It was evening after the talk. Ning Zhan went home.
Ningzhan thought very clearly. Ninghai was just their brothers. Even if they had only half of their family property, they could not spend all their money in this life. Therefore, he has the same attitude towards separation as Fang Hui: âfather, you has the final say in the separation.â
Ninghai is very pleased: âthe account will be settled tonight, and tomorrow you will divide the industry. However, even if you divide the production, you are brothers, and you should support each other in the future. â
The brothers nodded together.
When Tang saw Fang Hui coming up, he asked softly, âwhat did the Marquis want to do with you for so long?â
âAbout the separation?â
Tangâs face is a little white: 'separate? Why do you want to separate your parents when they are not separated? â
Fang Hui smelt the words and smiled: âDad means to have a big branch. Our brothers have married and had children, so itâs better to have separate families. Itâs not necessary for our brother to have a dispute over his family property in a hundred years, which will hurt his brotherhood. â
âI thought it was my mother who didnât like me, so I wanted to separate my family,â said Tang
Fang Hui said with a smile, âyou think more. My father told me about the separation two years ago. This time back to Beijing, one is to marry you, the other is to separate the family. â
Tangâs reaction was quick and said, âafter the separation, are we going to Tongcheng?â
âWell. We will go back to Tongcheng after sorting out the industries to be divided. â Speaking of this, Fang Hui said: âby the way, my father said that Mr. Beijing is better than Tongcheng. So Zhuang brothers will stay in the capital and will not follow us back. â
Itâs no surprise that Tangâs eldest son stayed with his grandparents.
Because both Ning Zhan and Fang Hui said that they had listened to Ninghaiâs separation, and Xiao and Zeng Chenfu had no objection, the separation was particularly smooth the next day.
After the division of the industry, Ninghai said to ningzhan, âah Zhan, go out first. I have something to say to your elder brother.â
Although Ning Zhan didnât know what it was, he was sure it had nothing to do with the separation. If not, it will not be said after the industry is divided.
Ninghai handed Fang Hui a prepared list and said, âIâm going to transfer these industries to Zhuang Geâer. What do you think?â The field shops listed on the list are part of the industry that Fang Hui has allocated.
After a long time, Fang Hui said, âDad, what are you doing? Brother Zhuang is my only son, and all my things will be his in the future. â

Ninghai said bluntly, ânow you are only a strong brother and a son, but it wonât be for long.â Tang is not unable to live, and Fang Huiâs love for her may not be a problem in the future. Of course, being an elder naturally likes to have many children and grandchildren. However, he also wants to protect the interests of his strong brother.
Zhuang Geâer is Ninghaiâs first grandson, and he grew up watching. This feeling, of course, is very different. Now he is ready to leave his brother-in-law in the capital, when he will see Fang Hui once a year. And the children born by Tang can accompany Fang Hui day by day, for a long time, how can it be really unpredictable.
Fang Hui was embarrassed: âDad, brother Zhuang is my eldest son. Even if I have a son in the future, I will attach great importance to him. â
Ninghai was silent and said, âdo you know? Your mother often said that I was partial to you, that I taught you everything carefully, but I never cared about Zhan. In fact, your mother said nothing wrong. From childhood to adulthood, I really didnât care about Zhan Whether itâs study or life, itâs the Empress Dowager who is working hard.
How many people envy Ning Zhanâs chance to grow up beside the Empress Dowager and make friends with the four princes! As a result, Xiaoâs mouth seems to have suffered a great grievance. Itâs not that he got cheap and sold himself!
Fang Huiâs heart is full of stomach Fei, but on the surface he said, âisnât this a special case? If he stays with him, he will teach him. â
Ninghai shook his head and said, âto Zhan, I really didnât fulfill the responsibility of being a father.â So his wife blames him for nothing. Fortunately, Zhan doesnât care and is filial.
Fang Hui couldnât answer that.
Ninghai told Fang Hui about this to let him know that the backs of his hands and palms are all meat. Itâs impossible for him to have a bowl of water level.
âAh Hui, you should think that I only give you one and a half of the industry, and the other one and a half to Zhuang Geâer! Donât worry, Iâll take these properties and give them to my brother-in-law when he gets married and has children. â Just hope that he will live to that time.
Fang Hui is very oppressive. In the final analysis, Ninghai doesnât trust him. He feels that he will be aggrieved by Zhuang Geâer in the future.
Even if the heart is uncomfortable, but rather sea will say this, he knows that his opposition is useless.
When the two brothers went to yamen for transfer, Ning Zhan knew that half of Fang Huiâs industry was under the name of Zhuang Geâer.
When I got home, Ning Zhan said this to Xiao, and then asked, âMom, did dad tell you about this before?â
Xiao shook his head and said, âI didnât say that. You say that your father is really a big brother. Why do you put so many industries under his name? â
Ning Zhan said helplessly, âNiang, please advise your father more and let him take care of himself. Donât worry about the family affairs.â How to deal with the industry Fang Hui assigned has nothing to do with him. Ningzhan thinks that Ninghai worry too much is not good for her health.
Xiao nodded: âdonât worry, I will advise him.â
When Zeng Chenfu saw Ning Zhanâs worried face, she asked, âbut it wasnât a good time to transfer?â
She has seen too many families split up, some brothers cut off because of the unequal division of labor. Ningâs separation was so smooth that she felt unreal.
Ning Zhan shook his head and said: âno, the transfer is very smooth. However, my father has put half of the industries that my eldest brother has been assigned to under the name of my eldest brother. â
âI guess dad was worried that the eldest brother would prefer the children born by Tang, so he took precautions in advance. My father is really a dog. Iâm afraid that my elder brother will be wronged if he marries Tang clan. Why do you want him to marry a side room? â There is no woman around, just take a concubine to take care of the living.
Zeng Chenfu is quite critical of Ninghaiâs letting Fang Hui marry Er Fang.
Ning Zhan said: âmy father loves me, but Iâm afraid that Iâve wronged my brother, so I used this method. However, I think Dad is worried. Even if Tang had a son, Zhuang was also the eldest son. Tomâs children, can they go beyond him? Even if he wants to, the ancestral system is still there! â
Zeng Chenfu thought differently: âitâs not necessarily. Some parents didnât give their property to their eldest son, but to their favorite son. â
âBig brother is not like that.â
Zeng Chenfu said: ânow the elder brother loves the younger brother very much, but after twenty or thirty years, who knows what it is like?â Ninghai did this, at least to the maximum extent to protect the interests of Zhuang Geâer.
