Chapter 266 Xiaolin's Shock
Sheng Hong is a man who will act decisively once he makes a decision, especially when it comes to political affairs, he will not procrastinate at all.
This division that seemed like a division, was actually a division, and yet was not a division, had become closely related to the future survival of the Sheng family under Lin Qinshuang's indoctrination, so naturally he had no ambiguity.
Overnight, he integrated the current assets of the Sheng Mansion and the financial dealings with the Youyang First House, and drew up a list of how the money from the First House to "relieve" the Second House in the future should be divided... and so on.
After all, Sheng Hong is not dead yet, and is even still in his prime.
The owners of the "big house" include Old Lady Sheng, Sheng Hong, Changbai, Hai, and the unmarried Molan and Rulan.
Sixty percent of the family property was retained, and the dowries of the two unmarried daughters were not included.
The 'Second House' and the 'Third House' are temporarily headed by the second lady Lin Qinshuang. Changfeng, Lin, and Changtong and Changzhuo, who will be divided out after they get married, will share the remaining 40% of the family property in 2:2.
When it comes to "getting married", we should still consider giving Minglan a way out. If she never gets married, then there is still time to delay, and wait until Changtong gets married late. If Minglan is still not ready to return to being a girl, then she can announce to the public that Changtong chose not to get married for... a plausible reason that would preferably be related to filial piety.
Chang Feng actually never cared much about the separation of the family.
He has never been sensitive to numbers, so he had no problem with only taking 20% of the family fortune.
He was taught since childhood that Changbai was the only heir to the family, and he would only get a small part of the property, and everything in the future would depend on his own talents and hard work.
He has to study hard and pursue a career in politics with the same effort as Changbai, so that his mother, sister and himself can live an enviable life.
And what is a good life? When you are hungry, you can afford to buy the meat you want to eat; when you are thirsty, you can drink good tea; when you are in the mood, you can go on a trip whenever you want; you can go out and see the world in fine clothes.
Spiritual enrichment is indeed important, but you must not neglect yourself physically.
Otherwise, if there is only wind, where is the elegance?
Only when you own gold and silver can you treat them as dirt; the elegance of having no shortage of money is the true elegance and refinement.
Now that he has entered the Hanlin Academy, his official career path is already planned to be smooth.
The ill-gotten gains of the Youyang eldest house that were distributed by the '433' every quarter could be kept for use in the court. Regardless of whether this family got a share or not, Chang Feng did not feel that he was under any pressure or had suffered any major loss.
His mother's shop was doing a booming business, so she never lacked money, so... he could feed the whole family by himself.
When I make money, I can spend it on buying things everyone likes without any scruples.
Buy some health supplements for my mother, some fashionable jewelry for my younger sister, and some rouge and powder for Lin. With the remaining money, I can buy two bottles of good wine or invite three or five friends to go boating...
comfortable.
Officials and businessmen are guilty of each other.
But he was trying hard to climb up, and it was natural and filial piety for him to protect his mother.
……
In addition, Lin Qinshuang returned all the farms and shops that she had managed on behalf of Wang Ruofu for various reasons, and handed over two copies of the account books for several years to Wang Ruofu and Hai respectively, and sent a special manager to coordinate with Hai and explain the situation.
It is not difficult to see from the income and deposits that, apart from paying respect to Old Madam Sheng and preparing for the New Year or buying special gifts or exceptional items for Hualan and Rulan, Lin Qinshuang has never embezzled a single cent of the income.
This made Hai even more confused, or more helpless.
She didn't believe that there were such kind people in this world. The friendship between the sisters and brothers in the Sheng family was as good as if they were writing in a picture book. It felt like a dream just looking at it.
But even though she had many puzzles in her heart, as the absolute beneficiary after the separation of the family, Hai had to remember this favor. She hurriedly wrote a letter back to the Hai family and asked for three boxes of handwritten books to give to Fourth Miss Sheng as extra packing.
Books are very valuable these days, and a single handwritten copy is worth more than gold.
Movable type printing had just been invented, and the movable type was still made of wood, and no solution had been found yet.
(In history, Bi Sheng, who invented movable type printing during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, was not taken seriously by the rulers and society. After his death, the movable type printing technique he invented and the improved clay movable type were not preserved or promoted, but were only recorded and passed down.)
As a family of scholars, the books in the Hai family's library were all hand-copied by their descendants from generation to generation so that they can be preserved and passed down to this day.
The three boxes contained at least a hundred books, which was enough to show Hai's sincerity.
What you think in your heart is one thing, and doing things in a thorough and appropriate manner without causing gossip is another.
She lives very realistically and would never put herself in a dangerous situation of embarrassment and confusion or having illusions about the future, so what she saw and heard in Sheng Mansion was a shock to her values and beliefs.
She's not bad, just a sophisticated egoist.
So even Lin Qinshuang could see through her at a glance.
But it is precisely because she sees through and understands everything that no one can heal her heart knot.
Because she, Lin Qinshuang/Molan, is a genuine "good person".
……
Compared to Hai's complicated emotions, Kobayashi's emotions were very simple.
--disturbed.
After thinking about it all night, Xiao Lin silently took out the shop, land deeds, etc. in her dowry and handed them to Chang Feng.
Chang Feng was delighted when he saw it, "You are real..."
He shook his head helplessly and touched Xiaolin's face, which looked a little haggard because of not sleeping well.
"You don't have to worry about things like this at home. I don't even need to worry about it."
Xiao Lin was helpless, "But..."
There are only two shares of the family property, and the second mother-in-law, Mrs. Lin, has to return all the property in her hands along with several years' income. Soon the fourth Miss Sheng will be married, Changfeng needs to be arranged to enter the officialdom, the mother-in-law needs to be supported, and the annual payment is approaching... A glance at the places waiting to be spent at home shows that the amount is hundreds of taels, and the number is rising towards thousands of taels.
This……
The money you save will be gone within three years.
The head of the household always has to plan ahead. If he really has to wait for God to send rain for him to drink, it will be too late.
This is the fault of Lin Qinshuang being too "low-key".
Apart from the Sheng family and Zhuang Xuejiu's classmates in private school, outsiders were unaware of the astonishing business activities that Lin Qinshuang and Molan had carried out in recent years around Tokyo, Yangzhou and Yuzhou.
Chang Feng asked the maid to prepare breakfast, poured a pot of hot tea with red dates and wolfberries which was good for the stomach, and slowly started talking to Xiao Lin.
Hearing about the great achievements of the Dalin family over the years and the actual amount of money their family now possessed, Xiaolin family took a deep breath.
"Oh my god, so this means we can now live a carefree life of wine and women?!"
"of course."
Chang Feng said proudly,
“But after the separation, I still have to work hard to be a support for my mother and sister.
Doing business also requires having someone above you. If I don’t climb high enough, I will still have to ask others for help if my family needs help in the future.
Although we are all family, we still have to be close to each other. I can't even protect my own mother, so I feel bad. "
Just as she was about to say, "We at Zhongshan Marquis' Mansion can be your support," Xiao Lin blinked and swallowed her words.
“That’s what you said.
Wow - Chang Feng, you are really amazing. If it were me, I would have become a playboy and never studied again."
