Chapter 191: The separation of the Hou Mansion (1)

On the third day of March in the 29th year of Yunzhao, Chen Ruolai, the third-room concubine of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, got married.

Chen Xun did not go back to the Hou Mansion to marry Chen Ruolai. Of course, she could not go to the Sun family to attend the wedding. Why did Princess Ning attend the wedding at the home of a director of the Ministry of Industry?

Chen Ruolai's biological mother, Aunt Zhou, had caused her to be homeless in the first place, so she had no idea of ​​repaying kindness with evil to support Chen Ruolai.

So what if Chen Ruolai is her half-sister? Is it possible that by supporting Chen Ruolai, what else can she gain?

She is not stupid, so there is no way she would do this kind of thing that consumes her own reputation and prestige to fulfill her "enemy" without getting any benefits at all.

So on the day Chen Ruolai got married, Chen Yu stayed at Prince Ning's Mansion. She was not idle. She also had to deal with matters at the Prince's Mansion.

Yan Lizhou agreed to help her handle half of the affairs, but he was on a business trip now, and everything in the house was left in Chen Yu's hands.

It was impossible for her to do everything herself. In the past, when Yan Lizhou was not in Chang'an and before she married into Prince Ning's palace, the housekeeper Yun Ji and the housekeeper Yun Xiu also helped with the work. Of course she would not let them do so at this time. They quit.

"Princess, in more than ten days it will be the day when the seventh girl from Pingyang Hou Mansion will get married. Will you go back that day?" Yunxiu asked while reporting on the work.

Although Chen Xun didn't give Chen Ruolai any face and would not go back to the Marquis Mansion to present her wedding on her wedding day, Chen Ruoling had no grudge against her and I wonder if she wanted to go back.

"No reply." Chen Yun said without thinking.

She doesn't have any feelings for Chen Ruolai, so does she have any feelings for Chen Ruoling? Of course it is impossible for her to go back, as long as she loves her.

To be honest, quite a lot of girls from the Hou Mansion got married this year. After Chen Ruolai and Chen Ruoling got married, Chen Ruoxian would get married in two or three months.

Chen Ruoxian, the concubine of the eldest family, was married to a student from a poor family. Chen Ruoxian and her eldest aunt were not too harsh on the concubine, but they were not much better. It was good to choose a poor student to marry. At least he was from a "poor family", but his family also had hundreds of acres of fertile land and several shops.

In ancient times, poor families did not mean poor people. Poor people could not afford to study.

Just like in Chenjiacun, Chen Xun's adoptive parents were not actually from a poor family. They could provide for Chen Xun's adopted brothers to study, but the whole family had to grit their teeth to provide for them.

As for other families, their children cannot even afford to study - even though the Pingyang Marquis Mansion takes care of the clan and builds schools, there are still many families who cannot afford to send their children to study.

The husband Chen Ruoxian married has hundreds of acres of farmland and several shops. Only those who can afford their children's education are called poor families.

Chen Yun did not care about the marriage of Chen Ruolai and Chen Ruoling. They were getting married more than ten days apart. After they both got married, there would be no turmoil in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

The population is really large, and even the two girls who got married did not make the house more spacious.

"Huh? Separate the family?" Chen Yun was surprised after receiving the news from Pingyang Houfu. She really didn't expect that the Houfu would also split up one day. She thought that the family would be separated after her grandfather passed away.

"Yes, the old lady and the third lady have both sent word that Princess, you can go back and have a look." The servant from Pingyang Marquis Mansion said respectfully.

Chen Yu nodded, "When?"

"The day of the 27th." The servant replied.

"Okay, you go back and tell your grandmother and mother that this princess will go back on the twenty-seventh day," Chen Yu said.

"Yes."

*

On March 27th, Chen Xun rarely got up early. After exercising for an hour, she finished dressing up. After dressing up, she got on the carriage and returned to Pingyang Hou Mansion.

When Chen Ying's carriage arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, she found two other carriages. The eldest girl Chen Ying and the second girl Chen Ran of the Hou Mansion were both back.

Of course, regarding the separation of the Hou Mansion, married concubines are definitely not qualified to come back to see it, so neither Chen Ruolai nor Chen Ruoling came back.

As for Chen Ruowei, the adopted daughter, she couldn't come back even if she wanted to. She had already gone to Maozhou with King Jin. Where could she come back to witness the separation of the Hou Mansion?

"Greetings to Princess Ning." Chen Ying and Chen Ran bowed obediently when they saw Chen Yun coming down. Even if they were Chen Yun's cousins, they had to salute when they saw her. Who makes Chen Yun the real princess? ?

"Two sisters, you're welcome." Chen Yu greeted with a smile. Of course, she didn't ask them to make any big salutes, just a slight bow and bow.

The married legitimate daughters of the third room in the Hou Mansion all came back, and then the whole family sat in the main hall of the Hou Mansion to hear how the Marquis and his wife would separate the family.

Chen Feng looked at the children and grandchildren in the hall and was very proud. He, Chen Feng, was just a poor-legged country farmer back then, but after joining the army, he fought his way from a small soldier to the current position of a marquis. He is very proud.

Of course, he is even more proud of marrying a virtuous wife and having so many children, all of whom are very promising.

Now that the Hou Mansion is full of descendants and the future prospects are very good, Chen Feng is even more proud.

"I called you here today to separate the families." Chen Feng said solemnly.

"Split the family?" Except for the other rooms in the big house, everyone was very surprised. The Hou Mansion had not mentioned the matter of splitting the family for so many years. They thought it was impossible before the death of Pingyang Marquis Chen Feng. They didn't expect that it would happen today. Separate the family?

Chen Feng looked at his sons and grandsons with different expressions, and then at his wife who had no change in the expression on her face. He sighed, "If the tree has big branches and the descendants of our Marquis Mansion are luxuriant, then we will be divided."

"Everyone . It's not that I don't feel it, it's too cramped for so many people to live in the house. After the separation, everyone can live in a more spacious place."

"You don't have to worry, after the separation, you will still be my children and grandchildren. " , We are still from the Hou Mansion." Chen Feng said firmly, "Of course, you can't do bad things based on my name."

"The Hou Mansion has developed well in recent years, and my father-in-law's industry includes your mother and several others. My daughter-in-law is very prosperous."

"When the family is divided, I will not treat you badly."

According to the rules of the Yong Dynasty, when the family is divided, the eldest son inherits 70% of the family property, and the other legitimate sons share it. What is left is 70% of the remaining 30% of the family property, and the rest is inherited by the heirs of the concubine.

Calculated in this way, in fact, the concubine can inherit very little, but what can be done? The law stipulates that only the direct descendants can inherit more things, and the concubines are not qualified to inherit too many things.

Even if the heir of a concubine is recorded in the name of his legitimate mother, he will still need to pass the test when he inherits the family property in the future, and it is impossible to inherit the family property easily.

Of course, it is easier for adopted heirs to inherit than for concubines. The reason why the conditions for concubines to inherit family property are more stringent is to protect the rights and interests of legitimate heirs.

This kind of law is very friendly to the principal wife and legitimate children, but not so friendly to concubine children.

This law was created by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty. Later, after the founding of the Yong Dynasty, this law was still not changed. So what if it was harsh on the heirs of concubines? Being friendly to the prostitute is enough.

The ancients attached great importance to concubines, and naturally looked down upon concubines in all kinds of ways, so this law cannot be changed no matter what.
