Chapter 63: Splitting the Sect (Part 2)
"First, Xiao Xian..."
Xiao Jinyu glanced at Xiao Jian and Princess Yunyin, and said unhurriedly, "Second, Xiao Shiniang Xiao Ruoling!"
Xiao Ruoling was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in her heart.
"Third..." She paused and said, "My maternal grandmother, Mrs. Xiao Yuan!"
At this time, even Xiao Xian looked up in shock.
"No, Ayu, what are you talking about? What kind of sect should we divide into as a family? I will give you the money you want. I can also give you some maids, but don't mention the matter of dividing the sect again!" Xiao Jian said. Hui refused.
Since ancient times, filial piety has been the first priority. Confucianism emphasizes "cultivation, family order, and then governing the country and the world." If the family is not forced to separate due to war, it is extremely shameful to separate the family while the parents are still alive. This is very shameful for the Xiao family. There is no benefit, not to mention, now that Xiao Xian has recovered, if Xiao Yun is really not angry, then letting Xiao Xian become an official, with his talent and reputation, will surely improve the reputation of the Xiao family and restore its former glory!
But Princess Yunyin didn't have Xiao Jian's considerations. When she heard that Xiao Jinyu only wanted these three people, she couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: In today's era when family status is more important than life, if Xiao Xian is willing to lower his status, As a collateral descendant of the Xiao family in Lanling, he will not be a threat to her son Xiao Yun in the future, which is extremely beneficial to her.
So, regardless of Xiao Jian's considerations, she stood up and said, "Okay! As long as the three of them are willing to separate, and Xiao Xian is willing to be reduced to a side disciple, I have no objection!"
"you--"
Xiao Jian was angry and stared at Princess Yunyin, then looked at Xiao Xian.
"Qilang, Ayu is just a child. She's making mischief. Do you want to join in the mischief? And Shiniang..."
Xiao Xian said: "Father, I am willing to separate and be reduced to a collateral disciple. This will be good for you and me!"
"Whatever you are saying is good for me and for you!"
At this time, Xiao Shiniang also said: "Grandpa, I am also willing to separate and follow Ayu in the future. Although my status as a direct descendant of the Lanling Xiao family can bring me some honors, Ruoling cannot enjoy it!"
If you can escape from the Xiao family, even if you live as a side branch, it will be better than being under the control of Princess Yunyin and having to control your own destiny.
"And grandma, grandpa, ask yourself, have you ever visited your grandma over the years? Do you know what she has become now? And my father and several uncles, they really died of illness. Died young?"
Xiao Ruoling's series of questions immediately made Xiao Jian dumbfounded.
This granddaughter has always been weak and weak, as if she would fall down when the wind blows. She has always been Weiwei Nailai, but today she spoke to her grandfather in such a reproachful tone.
"Shi Niang, what are you talking about?"
Princess Yunyin looked at Xiao Ruoling with shock and anger in her expression.
"Grandpa's heart is full of Princess Yunyin. If Ruoling doesn't ask, grandpa can feel the same way, but please let me, my seventh uncle, and my grandmother live, and let us separate our families!" Xiao Ruoling's tone at this time was already begging. , and bowed his head.
"You, you guys..."
Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Shiniang, then at Xiao Xian, and finally focused on Xiao Jinyu.
"Ayu, does it have to be like this? If I don't agree, you won't agree to treat Yun Lang? Even if you want half of the Xiao family's property, I will..."
"No!" Princess Yunyin interrupted hastily, "I agreed to her. As long as she agrees to treat Yun Lang, her mother's funeral, 50,000 yuan, and the three people she wants will all go as she wishes!"
Others, please stop pushing too far. If you can't cure Yun Lang, I will kill you all without a burial place!
Ignoring the sharp flash in Princess Yunyin's eyes, Xiao Jinyu said: "Then without further delay, you will finish everything today. Send me 50,000 yuan, and I will go to treat Xiao Yun tomorrow! "
"Why is it tomorrow? How can I delay my son's injury?" Princess Yunyin said displeased.
"How do I know if you cure Xiao Yun first, will you regret it?"
"you--"
Princess Yunyin raised her eyebrows, and Xiao Jinyu added at this time: "However, we can go to the Xiao Mansion first, pick up my grandmother, and open an ancestral hall and divide the clan!"
…
The division of the clan, no matter how reluctant Xiao Jian was, was still successfully completed under the leadership of Princess Yunyin. Xiao Xian was only given an independent account. Originally, the daughter of the Xiao family would not join the genealogical family unless she recruited a son-in-law, and even if Yes, it was just a surname, but Xiao Xian insisted on writing the names of Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Ruoling on his own household, and also wrote Xiao Luan's name on it.
The Xiao family does not have many heirs now, but there are also some concubines who were filled with emotion after seeing Xiao Xian leave the sect. They all watched Xiao Xian leave the ancestral hall for a long time.
However, because these disciples were accustomed to being subdued by Princess Yunyin's control, they did not dare to say goodbye to Xiao Xian or even say a word, except for one person, and that was Xiao Shiyi, who was usually the best friend with him. Lang.
"Seventh brother, do you really want to leave? Now that you have finally recovered, do you really want to give up your identity as a direct descendant of the Xiao family and leave the Xiao family?" The fourteen-year-old young man Lang is still very simple-minded. He heard that Xiao Xian wanted to When I left, I was so sad that I burst into tears.
"I just branched out, but I am still a member of the Xiao family. I don't care whether I am a direct descendant. Ah Lang, in this world, it is easy to live in poverty and poverty, and it is difficult to work in wealth and wealth. I only wish that my cherished relatives Live well and nothing else matters.”
Hearing this, Eleventh Lang felt even more sad in his heart, and murmured: "I know, Seventh Brother has always felt ashamed of his eldest sister and failed to protect the other brothers and sisters. However, Seventh Brother, this is not your fault. Yes, this may be the fate of the Xiao family."
"Don't accept your fate! Do you think I'm fine now?" Xiao Xian couldn't help but caressed Shi Yilang's forehead and comforted him.
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up and he said again:
"Brother Seven, why don't you take me with you? You don't care about my identity, and neither do I."
Xiao Xian shook his head and said: "You can't do it now, A Lang. You can still act like before. As your concubine, as long as you don't act too prominently, she won't do anything to you. But in private, you still have to do it." Study the lessons I teach you carefully, and I will take you out if I have the opportunity in the future!"
"Really? Seventh Brother promised to take me away, but not now, right?" The young man said happily when he heard this.
Xiao Xian nodded.
Seeing someone coming, Eleventh Lang Xiao Lang quickly ducked into the grass and slipped away.
Xiao Jinyu walked out of Xiao Xian's Linshui Pavilion. Feng Dong originally packed a lot of clothes, jade, tea cups and other things for Xiao Xian, but Xiao Jinyu asked him not to ask for any of them.
"Why? Madam, our husband's monthly salary in the house is quite small. This is what he saved through frugality. It's a pity to lose it." Feng Dong was reluctant to part with it, holding a large amount of money in his arms. said the box object.
"What are the uses of these external things? What is really valuable is the classics handed down from ancient times. This is the foundation for the inheritance and continuation of a big family. Except for the books that your husband usually copies, we don't want anything else!" Xiao Jinyu ordered. .
"Oh." Feng Dong was still a little reluctant to give up, but when he saw Xiao Xian also nodded to him, he put the big box down like a piece of meat.
At this time, Xiao Shiniang also came over with her maid You Tan. To Feng Dong's surprise, Xiao Shiniang brought a very small box with You Tan.
"Hey, Lady Ten, didn't I ask you to pack your own things? Why do you just do so?"
Xiao Shiniang looked at Xiao Jinyu and then Xiao Xian with some embarrassment, and said: "I... just brought some relics left by my father and mother with me, and there is not much else left."
Shiniang probably didn't have much monthly money, and the courtyard she lived in was so remote and cold. What was left in this box was probably all the dowry left to her by her mother.
"It doesn't matter. From now on, we are a family. We can enjoy food, clothing and everything together. We can also create with our own hands. The days will only get better and better in the future. There is nothing to worry about." Xiao Jinyu said.
After Feng Dong heard this, his confidence immediately doubled and he was full of hope for his future life.
"Yes! Madam, I believe you!" he said.
"We believe in you too!" Xiao Shiniang also answered, with tears of joy and gratitude flashing in her eyes, "Ayu, thank you, thank you for rescuing me from the quagmire of Xiao Mansion. No matter how hard the road ahead is, it will be thorny. No matter how hard it is, I have no regrets.
Why don't I call you eldest sister from now on? "
Xiao Jinyu also nodded with a smile.
"good!"
A few people were talking when they suddenly heard Phoenix shout sharply: "Who is it?"
She saw a figure flashing outside the Chuihua Gate not far away. Phoenix was about to chase after her, when Xiao Shiniang said, "It's Liu Niang!"
"Who is Liu Niang?"
When Liu Niang was mentioned, Xiao Ruoling's eyes became cold and she replied: "Liu Niang Xiao Qin was born to a maid brought by her grandmother. After her biological mother died, her grandmother treated her as her own child, but since Princess Yunyin married After entering the house, this girl turned her back on her grandmother and spent her whole day trying to please Princess Yunyin. Even when her grandmother was sick, she ignored her and never showed her filial piety. She was simply a cruel person. And..."
After a pause, she looked at Xiao Jinyu, "I saw her coming out of Princess Yunyin's Yunxiu Pavilion that day. Her eighth uncle Xiao Yun stopped her and asked Princess Yunyin what she was calling her for. What did she say? The trick was repeated to make her as ruined as her mother... I felt something was wrong when I heard it. Later Jiuniang came to me and said that she would give you something to apologize and asked you to meet. I understood what was going on. , this Liu Niang has given Princess Yunyin many bad ideas over the years, and she is very evil-minded..."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyu also understood what was going on. Xiao Xian felt the pain in his heart like a knife dragging through him. He thought that Liu Niang was also very gentle and well-behaved in the past. She also called him Seventh Brother gently. I don't know. Since when did he become so scheming and not willing to plot against his relatives?
"Brother Qing, do you want me to teach Xiao Liu Niang a lesson?" Phoenix asked at this time.
