Chapter 1299 Show off
The house in Beicheng was changed by Xia Zijiang shamelessly, and he chose two more places, Zhuangzi, which was closest to the capital. As for the shops, the three shops were all in similar locations, so he chose the largest one.
After Xia Zijiang finished picking things up, Xia Shiming distributed the remaining property to Xia Ziye and Xia Zihai on the spot. This was equivalent to dividing the Xia family's property and all three sons. However, Xia Shiming also said something first, "Brother Ye and Brother Hai have not yet gotten married. I will take care of their Zhuangzi shop first. When they get married and start a family, I will give these things to them."
Then he said, "I don't have much money in my hand, so I left some for my old couple, and the rest was divided into five parts, one for Brother Jiang, the other four, and two for Brother Ye and Brother Hai." Use it to get a wife, and leave two copies for you to buy a home.”
This means that we will give it to them after the family is divided.
Xia Zijiang calculated in his mind that there was only a little money in total. He was the eldest son, so he should get half of it. It was good now, and he had to leave part for his two younger brothers to find wives. Why?
Xia Zijiang just refused, "Dad, I am the eldest son, and I was separated just after we got married. There is a lot of money in this family, so you can leave an extra share for me. In the future, if you earn money, Not all belong to the two younger brothers.”
As for whether dad's money will be left to the two nerds in the future, huh...that depends on whether he is willing or not.
Xia Shiming frowned and considered it carefully, but Mr. Wang said, "Brother Xia, since Brother Jiang has said this, you just agree to him. However, he also said that from now on, the money in your hand will It’s all reserved for Brother Ye and Brother Hai. It’s better to write a document and include this in order to avoid any trouble in the future.”
Mr. Wang is Xia Ziqing's father-in-law, and he is now the second-ranked official. Because Xia Shiming has the son-in-law of Prince Anjun as his backer, Mr. Wang has a close relationship with Xia Shiming. He is also very fond of the two younger generations, Xia Ziye and Xia Zihai. appreciate.
However, seeing Xia Zijiang's behavior just now, Mr. Wang despised him from the bottom of his heart, and he understood why Xia Shiming suddenly wanted to separate his newly married eldest son to live alone.
With such an incorrigible piece of rotten wood wandering around and causing trouble all day long, anyone would be angry and kick him out and cut off all contact with him.
Xia Shiming not only married him and had children, but also arranged for him to buy a family property. This can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing he can do as a father.
As for whether his life will be good in the future, it depends on Xia Zijiang himself. He can't just marry a wife and let his father support him for the rest of his life.
As soon as Mr. Wang finished speaking, Xia Zijiang's face turned dark and he glared at him angrily, "Uncle Wang, you can't say that. After all, I am still my father's son. If one day I can't live anymore, my father Can you still watch my family, my wife, children, old and young, starve to death?”
This is a bit of a rogue thing to say.
Since you still want to rely on Xia Shiming for the rest of your life and want your father to support your wife and children, what's the point of dividing the family now?
Xia Zihan sneered, "As long as you don't ruin your family, the properties your father bought for you will be enough for you to support your family."
There are two villages and one shop, and the annual income is four to five hundred taels.
Thirty or forty taels of silver a month is enough to support a small family and live a relatively luxurious life.
I think back when Xia Shiming went abroad and had no money from his family to support him, he had to live on his salary of more than ten taels a month all year round. Although his life was a little more miserable, he managed to survive for so many years.
Moreover, Xia Shiming is an official and has to take care of things up and down, while Xia Zijiang is an idler and has no big expenses except for food at home. With thirty or forty taels of silver a month, the family of several people could not use it all, and they had to save some. What's more, Xia Shiming would give them another amount of money to buy a house.
Xia Zijiang saw that the person who spoke was Xia Zihan, and Chu Jingqi was sitting next to her, staring at him coldly. Xia Zijiang was so frightened that she did not dare to challenge Xia Zihan.
The matter was thus decided.
Xia Shiming took out 10,000 taels of silver and divided it into five parts. One portion was 2,000 taels of silver. Each of Xia Zijiang's three brothers took one share. This was the cost of buying a home for them. Xia Shiming also gave them Xia Ziye's and Xia Zihai's silver. .
The other two copies were given to Mrs. Xia Er, "This is the cost of marrying a wife for you two. This, your mother will take."
The shameless Xia Ziye and Xia Zihai brothers' ears turned red, and they quickly agreed obediently.
In fact, Xia Ziye and Xia Zihai even wanted to return the house purchase money to Xia Shiming and asked Xia Shiming to collect it for them, but Xia Shiming refused to accept it, "Since it is a family separation, it must be like a family separation, Zhuangzi The shop, because you have to concentrate on studying, your mother and I can help you take care of this. You should keep the money yourself. In the future, when they become officials, they will have to manage everything up and down..."
Xia Shiming didn't say anything more.
Mr. Wang personally wrote the document, Mr. Liao and several other testifiers signed their names, and then Shengdi and a steward around Xia Shiming took it to the government and entered it into the file. The Xia family was considered to be separated.
After dividing things up, Xia Shiming set up a banquet and left Mr. Wang and others to have a meal. After they were full, Mr. Wang and others left one after another.
The Lu family's father and son were the last to leave. After eating, they went to Xia Zijiang's yard and talked to the Lu family for a while. They were just talking about how the couple would live after the separation, and how the Lu family would send people when they moved. Come over and help.
As soon as the Lu family and his son left, Xia Zijiang, who had three thousand taels of silver in his arms, couldn't stay at home anymore. He wanted to go outside to find his group of friends and go to Juxiang Tower to liven up the excitement, treat them to a meal, and show off in front of them. Show off.
As soon as he was about to sneak away, the sharp-eyed Mrs. Lu spotted him. She walked over and grabbed him by the back collar, "Husband, where are you going?"
"I...I'm going to the toilet and I'll be back in a minute." Xia Zijiang was frightened by Lu's beatings several times.
As long as there are no outsiders, Xia Zijiang will be as scared to death as a mouse seeing a cat when he sees her.
"Go to the toilet, okay, go ahead, but give me the money that dad gave us to buy a house. I am the mistress of the house. From now on, it is better for me to take care of the money and other things in the house." Eyes He glared and said fiercely, "Don't think that I don't know. You are a person who can't put money in your arms. This money is the basis of our life. You are not allowed to play with it."
