Chapter 3 Red Mansion 1
The life of a baby was very boring, so Liu Heng spent most of his time practicing.
When he was not practicing and sleeping, he would prick up his ears and listen to the gossips of the wet nurse and the little girl who took care of him.
Liu Hiong's family background in this life is pretty good. He is the eldest son of the third eldest son of a certain prince.
It’s just that the biological father is not the legitimate son of the family, but the concubine, or the second son of the concubine, and should not be taken seriously by the family.
Fortunately, his biological father was not taken seriously by the head of the family, and their three-bedroom life was peaceful and stable.
It’s not like the first bedroom and the second bedroom are fighting like a black eye.
The man of the second wife is the legitimate son, and the title will inevitably be passed on to the second wife.
But the man in the first house is the eldest son of the family, the favorite son born of the family’s favorite woman.
In addition to not being able to give the eldest son the title and ancestral property, the head of the family gave the eldest son many benefits. He personally paved the way for the eldest son and planned an official position for him.
Because of his partial favor, the head wife and the second wife's legitimate son were very unhappy and targeted the first brother in various ways.
The eldest brother has the head of the house as his backer, and he is neck and neck with the second house and the head of the house's wife.
They fight between two houses, and sometimes it affects other houses.
There was no damage to the big and second bedrooms, the unlucky ones were all affected by them.
However, those people are not innocent either.
If they hadn't had their own thoughts and wanted to get involved in the fight between the two houses, they wouldn't have stolen the chicken but lost the rice.
The people in the third house are very honest. They pretend to be transparent in the house, do not participate in the fights of other houses, and live their lives peacefully.
Recently, the first and second bedrooms were having trouble again. The third bedroom didn't want to attract their attention, so they turned their attention to the third bedroom, and even Liu Heng's third bedroom and the full moon were not dealt with.
Mother Liu hugged Liu Heng and sighed, feeling guilty for her son.
His poor son’s third birthday and full moon celebrations have not been held. I don’t know if the first birthday party will also be cancelled?
It's all because they are bad parents and have wronged their children.
Father Liu patted the back of his wife's hand, touched his son's little head, and promised: "When we separate our families, we will hold a birthday party for Hiiragi every year."
Mother Liu They responded softly: "Yes."
The two of them did not expect that the separation of the family would be realized very quickly.
The head of the Liu family died.
When he was out, the horse was frightened and the head of the Liu family fell off the horse.
The head of the Liu family hit his head on a stone and bled a lot.
The imperial doctor failed to save the head of the Liu family and died the next day.
The Liu family held a grand funeral for the head of the family, and many dignitaries from the capital came to burn incense and express condolences to the head of the family.
As filial sons and grandsons, Liu’s father and Liu’s mother had to go to mourn the deceased every day, which was extremely hard work.
Fortunately, Liu Heng is now a baby under one year old. He doesn't have to do anything but wait for his parents in his room.
Seventy-seven and forty-nine days later, the second wife's legitimate son, who is the heir to the title of the Liu family, will send the head of the family's coffin back to his hometown for burial. The other sons can go with him or not.
The second wife and the head wife proposed to separate the family at this time.
Dafang had no objection.
When a family member dies, there is no one to back them up.
Their life in the Duke's Mansion was definitely not easy. They didn't want to pretend to be inferior under the head of the house, so they were naturally willing to separate the family.
Sanfang had wanted to separate the family for a long time, so he agreed.
The remaining families do not want to separate their families, and want the name of Guogong Mansion as a backer.
But the three houses above all agreed to the separation of the family, and with the addition of a head wife, it was useless for them to object.
The second room invited the clan elders and began to separate the families.
According to regulations, the legitimate son inherits the title of the Duke and 70% of the family property, and the remaining 30% is divided equally among the concubines.
There is no objection to the big room and the second room. The second house just wants to drive all the troublesome people out of the Marquis's mansion. The first house has already obtained most of the head's private property privately and does not care about the distribution of public property.
In this way, the separation was quickly completed.
The big house moved out on the same day.
They had already prepared a four-room house outside. It had been cleaned and they could move in that day.
The third bedroom moved out of the Duke's Mansion a month later.
They were assigned a two-story house, a shop and a farm with 500 acres of land.
The house had not been occupied for a long time and needed time to be cleaned. Therefore, they moved out of the Government Palace a month later.
The other houses didn’t want to leave the Duke’s Mansion so quickly, and they had been staying at the Duke’s Mansion and were unwilling to leave.
After the twenty-seven-month filial piety period expired, the legitimate son forcefully drove them out of the Duke's mansion.
Although there is a plaque from the Duke's Palace, the legitimate son only inherits the title of baron, which is only one level higher than the title of first-class general.
Although the people in those rooms were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
They are no longer from the Duke's Palace. If they want to gain a foothold in the capital, they still have to rely on Baron Liu.
Uncle Liu was not afraid of Baron Liu. Uncle Liu sought an official position outside the capital, left the capital with his wife and children, and became the prefect of a locality.
Father Liu does not have the ability of Uncle Liu, because the head lady, oh, has been promoted to the old lady now.
Because of the old lady’s suppression of the concubine, Liu’s father did not take part in the scientific examination and had no fame.
Now, he doesn’t know what he can do. He can only live on the income from the shop and Zhuangzi.
Fortunately, Liu's father did not have the extravagance and waste of those in the Duke's Mansion. The income from the shop and Zhuangzi was enough to support the family for a year.
In addition to the matter of filial piety, Liu’s father took Liu Heng to the Duke’s Mansion.
Liu Heng met several children about his own age at the Duke's Mansion, one of whom was named Jia Hu. There are several other children named Niu, Hou, Chen, Ma, and Shi.
Liu Hiiragi: "..."
What is the full name of the Liu family's Duke's Mansion?
Rule the Duke’s Mansion!
In addition, there are the Bull Mansion of Zhenguo, the Chen Mansion of Qi State, the Gongma Mansion of Zhiguo, the Marquis Mansion of Xiu Guo Gong, the Shi Mansion of Jian Guo Gong, the Jia Mansion of Ning Guo Gong and Rong Guo Gong.
Isn't this the Eighth Prince among the Four Kings and Eighth Prince?
Could it be that I have traveled to the world of Red Mansion?
Liu Hao looked at the little bun Jia Hu in front of him with a strange expression.
Jia Hu is very cute, with exquisite facial features, and looks very much like his father Jia She.
Before, Liu Heng followed Liu's father to greet the guests and met Jia She.
Jia She is worthy of being Jia Lian's biological father, a very handsome man.
I don’t know how he polished himself in the future and turned himself into a wretched and ugly man.
"Brother Hiiragi, this is for you."
Jia Hu gave half of the cakes he got to Liu Hiiragi.
He likes Liu Hiiragi very much. Liu Hiiragi is good-looking, well-behaved, and clean. He likes her at first sight and wants to play with Liu Hiiragi.
"Thank you." Liu Heng took the cake and showed a sweet smile to Jia Hu.
Jia Hu is a really good kid. He is a warm little man who can take care of others.
"Brother Hiiragi, are you enlightened?"
"No."
"I am going to be enlightened. My grandfather has found a gentleman for me. In a few days I am going to study with my husband.”
