When the news reached the third room, Mrs. Cao was so frightened that she couldn't hold the needle steady. She accidentally pricked her finger and blood flowed.
He lowered his head and glanced at the rabbit that was about to be embroidered, and said sadly: "My two days of hard work have been in vain, and a piece of good material has been wasted!"
The maid Dong Ju next to her also expressed regret: "Isn't it true? Madam, the rabbit is so vividly embroidered. Miss Qingning will definitely like it."
"That's all. Find me another piece of material later, and I'll embroider another one."
Mrs. Cao put the embroidery bag aside, got up and packed up to go to Ningfuyuan.
Luo Ruzhen ran in all the way and said without even breathing: "Mom, I heard that uncle is inviting everyone to come over. Are we going to separate the family? Will we be kicked out?"
This is what Ms. Cao is a little worried about, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hold the needle firmly after hearing this, but she still calmed down and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we haven't done anything, your uncle won't be so heartless."
Having said that, they were not sure, and the mother and daughter did not dare to delay. When they arrived at Ningfuyuan, brothers Luo Dewen and Luo Decheng happened to be called back from the Yamen, as well as Luo Hongjun, who was studying in the academy. The three brothers Luo Honghui, Luo Hongyu, it can be said that the Luo family is big and small. Except for Luo Hongxing, who was born last year and is still not walking smoothly, and Luo Ran, mother and son, who are still recovering from illness, the rest are here. .
Including Luo Ruxue and Fu Shiheng, who just returned home today, are also there.
Luo Ruxue looked around but didn't see Mrs. Li. She turned around and asked Luo Rudie: "Where is my mother?"
Luo Rudie glanced at her uncle timidly and shrank her neck: "I don't know."
Just as Luo Honghui was about to speak, he was pulled over by Luo Dewen, glanced at the official hats and seals placed on the Eight Immortals table, and asked cautiously: "Brother, why did you call us all back?"
"Um."
Luo Deyun responded. After Grandma Qian helped the old lady come out, Luo Deyun suddenly said: "I made it clear to the emperor early this morning that starting from today, we will separate our families."
Just as the old lady was about to sit down, she almost fainted again when she heard these words, when Luo Deyun continued: "Mother had better hold on and listen to her son finish what he said."
The old lady's plan to pretend to be fainted and hide away was immediately abandoned.
Then he glanced at everyone and said: "The emperor did not take back my title and official position because the Luo family still contributed to the Jin Dynasty. But if I finish my words later, if any of you disagree, you can take me Whether you go to the Yamen with your official hat and official seal or enter the palace to meet the saint, I will never stop you."
Mrs. Cao secretly twisted Luo De into the soft flesh around her waist.
Luo Decheng glared at her and said nothing.
Luo Deyun looked around and continued: "Since there is no objection, I will start talking. As the saying goes, parents should not separate families, but they also have to separate the circumstances. Now that we have this situation in our house, no matter how hard we try, I'm afraid that I will Even the last of our flesh and blood can’t be saved!”
After speaking, he looked at Luo Devin with sharp eyes.
Lodwin lowered his head.
Fu Shiheng also looked at Luo Ruxue.
Luo Ruxue's face froze and she whispered: "Look at what I do, I don't know anything."
The two got married the day before yesterday, but the man disappeared without even entering the bridal chamber. Fortunately, he remembered to come back today and came back early in the morning.
Luo Ruxue was full of grievances and was waiting to tell Mrs. Li. Who knew that as soon as she entered the door, she heard the news that her uncle had summoned everyone, and now he was talking about separating the family.
Luo Deyun looked at the old lady and said: "Mom is old now. After the separation, you can move if you want, or you can stay in this yard if you don't want to. My son will take care of you until you die. Of course, if you like to live with your second brother , my son will naturally not stop it. From today on, a wall will be built on the west side of Ningfu Courtyard to divide the east and west courtyards. Externally, we are still a marquis mansion. Internally, I will order people to check the account books in the next few days. Divide the family property into four parts, regardless of the concubines, one share for the mother, and one share for each of the three of us brothers."
Mr. Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, the family property was divided equally, which she had never dared to think about before. The third wife is a concubine, so I am afraid that I will just give them a little money to spend.
It's good now, I can still live here, I just close the door and live my own life.
Luo Deyun elaborated on the separation of the family again. In short, he would rather suffer a loss and the family would be divided.
The old lady wanted to speak several times, but was blocked by Luo Deyun. In the end, she saw that she couldn't change it, so she had no choice but to agree. However, she did not agree to move out and still lived in Ningfuyuan with Dafang.
Luo Deyun also agreed, but on one condition, that is, the Yuan family will be in charge from now on, and the old lady is not allowed to interfere.
Hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she fell back and went back to rest on the pretext of feeling unwell, so she stopped interfering.
Finally, Luo Deyun looked at his two younger brothers and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"
Luo Decheng spoke first: "I have no objection, but does this mean that my eldest brother is at a disadvantage? Most of this family is earned by my eldest brother."
It's not that he has a conscience, but it's just that at this time, of course he has nice words to say.
Sure enough, after hearing what the third child said, Luo Deyun's face softened a little: "It doesn't matter, you three-bedroom children have many children. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I will naturally not watch the fun if I can help."
"Yes, yes, brother is right. I have been married to the Luo family for so many years and have been enjoying the blessings. How can I manage the house? I will never trouble my sister-in-law in the future."
Ms. Cao also hurriedly followed.
Yuan Shuyi smiled lightly and said nothing.
Luo Deyun was a military general, and he was quick and agile in everything he did. As soon as the matter was finished, the craftsmen came in and started building the wall.
Wu Ming, the general manager, was even busier, busy counting the accounts and allocating manpower.
Of course everyone likes to stay in the big house, but there are only a few owners in the big house, and we can't let the second and third bedrooms have no one to use them. So Luo Deyun said again: Those who obey the instructions will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who disobey the instructions will also be rewarded. For ten taels of silver, I just had to pack up and leave.
The work ahead was in full swing, and Ningxiang Garden was also filled with joy.
"Miss, it's better now. From now on, our house will be quiet."
Chunyu said happily.
Luo Ran smiled: "Are you so happy?"
Chunyu nodded: "Yes, miss, you don't even know that this slave has not dared to close his eyes while sleeping for the past two days, always feeling that someone will come to harm you!"
Luo Ran looked out the window. She knew that her father must have done something to separate the family.
"What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.
Luo Ran has now learned that he will not feel strange whenever he hears his voice. Instead, he feels as if this person is always by his side.
"What did my father say to the emperor this morning?"
Fu Jin'an sat down by himself and learned all about the imperial study, including the matter of marriage.
Luo Ran lowered her eyes. She didn't expect that her father would really risk everything for her.
Fu Jinan was a little surprised that she was so calm.
Luo Ran raised his eyes, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "Do you think I will make a big fuss?"
Fu Jinan raised his eyebrows and did not deny it.
Luo Ran smiled and said: "How can you, Mr. Fu, do things without merit and without reward? Let me marry you as a condition, right?"
She married him and kept her father's title.
Fu Jinan wanted to say no, but he didn't.
After a while, Luo Ran suddenly said: "You can let me marry you, but there must be conditions."
