The Gu clan elders around him looked at each other with emotion. They also noticed the scene when Wang clan pulled Gu Jian's sleeve just now, and thought to himself: It was indeed Gu Jian's separation, but he still insisted on pushing his nephews and nieces.
They sighed and shook their heads, not disagreeing.
As an uncle, Gu Jian shouldn't have treated his elder brother so harshly!
Gu Yanfei stroked his sleeves, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Jian. A small smile vortex spun on his right lips, "Mr. Marquis, we have to tell you clearly, who wants to split up?"
Gu Jian said without saying a word: "It's this marquis."
"I would have said that earlier." Gu Yanfei sighed quietly, causing Gu Jian to vomit so much that his old blood stuck in his throat.
Gu Yanfei played with a purple silk ribbon hanging down in his ears, looked around everyone, and said slowly: "It's the Marquis who wants to split up, and all the clan elders can testify."
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei quietly, his eyes incredibly soft, like the bright sunshine of March.
My sister is originally a casual and wanton temperament and likes to go straight to it. It is for my elder brother that my sister will go around in such a big circle...
The separation of the Marquis' Mansion must be proposed by my uncle. Only in this way can we not lose the talk in the future.
Gu Yuan was laughing, and Gu Jian was about to cry. His heart was filled with breath and his mouth was filled with a strong salty smell.
It was clearly the separation of the family that Gu Yuan proposed, but now after only a few words, he insisted on the separation of the family. It was him who oppressed Gu Yuan, the junior, as his uncle.
But he has no way of explaining it.
Gu Jian only stared at Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei's brother and sister. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "Please testify to the clan leader, the clan elders, and divide the family."
This sentence almost exhausted all his strength, and after he finished speaking, a sense of power loss swept across his body.
For a moment, the hall was silent.
The patriarch stroked his beard again, sighed, and confirmed with Gu Jian again: "Mr. Marquis, have you figured it out?"
"The matter of dividing the family is like a flood of water and it is hard to stop, and there is no turning back."
"You are the same root and the same vein as Brother Yuan, and your family will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous."
Several clan elders also advised him a few times, most of whom hoped that Gu Jian could think carefully.
The family division is of great importance and spreading it will inevitably make people question whether the Hou Mansion and the family are incompatible and the reputation of Yu Gu is unfavorable.
Gu Jian was buzzing with his ears when they said it. He felt a little impatient, but he still laughed and said a few words, "I have decided."
Seeing that one of the clan elders was still trying to persuade him, Gu Jian said before the other party: "Speaking of this, there is a happy event in the family and it is still time to tell everyone that the palace has already decided on a wedding with Sister Lao in a month."
"At that time, I will invite all the relatives of the clan to come to the mansion to have a wedding wine."
All the elders present knew that they had already given the ceremony. When they heard that the wedding date had been set, they couldn't help but look happy.
Their Gu family is about to have a county princess. For the whole family, this is a huge joy!
After the clan leader had a conversation with several close clan elders, he stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. He looked at Gu Yuan and his sister, and then looked at Gu Jian and his wife, and clapped the table and said, "Then let's split up."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Jian and Wang and his wife breathed a little relieved.
The patriarch calmed down and said, "Mr. Marquis, there are five houses in total. Should we separate the eldest houses this time, or should we divide the other houses into the rest? Does Marquis have any suggestions?"
Gu Jian had a plan, so he replied sarcastically: "Brother Yuan has an independent opinion and can support the lintel of the eldest house. I think I will just divide the eldest house this time."
"These three widows are widows. The fourth brother has always been responsible for the common affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion cannot be separated from it. The fifth brother is still studying."
While speaking, Gu Jian glanced at Wang without a trace. He and Wang had already discussed: If you go out with the eldest son of the house, no one would say that he could not tolerate his brother's children.
Wang pinched his cuffs gracefully, and the nails dyed with impotence juice flashed light against the golden rings embedded with three-color gems, and their tail fingers slightly raised.
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."
The patriarch glanced at Gu Jian and Gu Yuan, the uncle and nephew who described their temperaments, and then said: "According to the ancestral system, the house that inherits the title is divided into 70% of the property, and the remaining 30% will be divided into other houses, and the legitimate child accounts for twice the more than illegitimate child."
"Do you have any objections?"
The patriarch was talking about you, but he was only asking Gu Yuan.
After all, according to the ancestral system, the second house will inevitably occupy the majority and be the one who gains the profits. Gu Yuan only divided 12% of the family business, which is really not worth mentioning. Now it depends on whether Gu Yuan has any objection to this.
Gu Yuan nodded decisively again and said, "Yes."
Yu Gu Yuan said that he split the family not to compete for the property of the Marquis' Mansion, but to take his sister to separate the house and stay away from the troublesome people and things like the Marquis' Mansion.
He has confidence that he can set a future on his own and become his sister's support.
Gu Yuan's expression was extremely calm, and his face was full of arrogance, like the wind and frost.
"I have no objection," Gu Jian nodded, unable to help but look at Gu Yanfei.
This girl is not only a mess, but also a thorn.
Gu Jian is 99% sure that Gu Yanfei is instigating Gu Yuan to split up.
From this girl who climbed to the eldest prince, it can be seen that her heart is too big. Will she be willing to give birth to a house to only get such a small property?!
The next moment, Gu Jian met Gu Yanfei's extremely clear eyes. The girl's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, with brilliant stars in her eyes, and her cherry lips slightly opened.
"Can a house that inherits the title inherit 70%?" Gu Yanfei asked generously.
"No," the patriarch nodded, "This rule was set by your great-grandfather. He said that if the descendants of this noble family are not good, the family business will become thinner and thinner, and then Xijue's house will support the family business."
Gu Yanfei's great-grandfather was Gu Yao, the first generation of Dingyuan Hou who founded the country with Emperor Taizu.
Such a family division is not uncommon among nobles. Most nobles are reluctant to separate their families, thinking that it is easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree.
Another clan old man in his fifties and with a disc-faced face added kindly: "Your grandfather also divided the family back then, and they also divided the family back then."
"Your third uncle and fourth uncle each share one percent."
Among the clan elders present, there were also three gangsters of the old marquis Gu Xuan, all of whom were the uncles of Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei.
They were also afraid that the eldest son would feel that the family was unfair, so they explained.
Gu Jian stared at Gu Yanfei tightly, always feeling that this girl would not calm down, so she heard her ask again: "Class leader, what if my Gu family has no title?"
The patriarch was stunned, sighed and replied, "If the descendants are useless and lose their title, the house that inherits the family business will inherit the ancestral property, accounting for 70% of the family business."
The title of the Marquis' Mansion can be inherited from the Five Dynasties, and then it will be demoted to the title of Bo, and this title cannot be passed down from generation to generation. Gu Yao also understood this point, so he set this rule.
"I understand." Gu Yanfei nodded, and did not raise any objections. It seemed that he just asked casually because he was curious.
The clan leader and clan elders felt relieved to see that the separation process was so smooth and exchanged glances with each other.
If you divide the family and divide the family, no matter how you divide them, they are all the same clan. Even if there is a little bit of conflict, the Gu family lineage will break the bones and connect the tendons. It is best to be able to separate the family harmoniously.
Gu Jian was even more happy, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows. He quickly ordered his servants to bring in the account book and property list of the mansion.
After two cups of tea, several servants carried several heavy boxes to the main hall in a row, and opened the lids one by one, emitting a musty smell of sunshine that had not been seen for a long time.
The box is full of books of large and small books, two boxes have been old for a long time, the cover faded, the pages are yellowed, and a lot of dust is raised.
The clan leader and clan elders both covered their noses with their sleeves and looked at each other, which made them have a headache.
The Gu family was originally from the countryside, which was the Dingyuan Hou's house who followed Emperor Taizu's uprising, which led to the revelation of the Gu family.
Most of the old tribes present have been reading for several years, but they are only at the level of knowing and stating.
There are not many boxes of account books that can be sorted out in a few hours. At least you have to ask the accountant to help you spend a few days to sort out.
The patriarch took out a handkerchief and wiped the itchy nose. He wanted someone to carry these accounts to the side hall first, but before he could even say anything, he suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Jian: "Marty, where is the Lingtang?"
The Marquis's family was so big that Mrs. Gu did not appear.
The patriarch remembered that Mrs. Gu had been sick for a long time during the Chinese New Year, and asked with concern: "Are you still sick?"
The smile on the corner of Gu Jian's lips froze. It was not until this moment that he remembered that the lady was still kneeling at the Meridian Gate.
Wang's face was also a little unnatural.
Just now, the couple were anxious to split up, but they forgot Mrs. Gu for a moment.
Seeing that Gu Jian's expression was a little strange, the patriarch asked: "Did Lingtang's condition worsen again?"
Gu Jian's hand hidden in his sleeve twitched unnaturally, his mind turned rapidly. While looking at Gu Yuan, he sighed: "Thank you for your concern. My mother's body has been healed, but..."
After pausing, he continued to say, "Because the murder of Brother Yuan killed Feng He was a hot topic in the court, my mother was uneasy and felt that she had not taught Brother Yuan well, so she went to the palace to apologize."
What?! The clan leader and the clan elders all widened their eyes, and several people subconsciously looked at Gu Yuan, who was still calm in the distance.
The ancestor told his grandson that this is a big event about Gu’s reputation!
Why didn’t Mrs. Gu discuss with the clan before entering the palace?!
Seeing that the clan leader was disagreeing, Gu Jian quickly explained: "Uncle, my elder brother committed an incident eight years ago and almost affected the entire clan. The Marquis' Mansion was almost taken away by the late emperor. Now this matter is not small. The Marquis' Mansion has been walking on thin ice for many years, and his mother has no choice..."
Speaking of Gu Ce’s old story, the patriarch’s expression was even more complicated.
Gu Ce was the one who grew up, and was once the pride of the Marquis's mansion, but ended up dying young and ruining his reputation.
Gu Yuan is Gu Ce's son, and this is a karma that he cannot escape in his life. He wants to forget it, but others can't forget it.
The patriarch looked at Gu Yuan with a little unbearable look.
Gu Yuan was still sitting on the ring chair, his body as straight as a ridge, and his body was covered with a cold breath like ice and snow.
"Since the Grandma is still at the Meridian Gate, then go and take the Grandma back." Gu Yanfei smiled, his slender fingers casually curled up the silk ribbons of his hair, and the purple silk ribbons reflected her slender fingers as white as jade.
