Happiness System
Chapter 809: Fake Gold 36
The emperor had punished many people in the past two months, leaving many vacancies waiting for this batch of Jinshi to fill them. The autumn examination would naturally not be cancelled halfway.
Fortunately, it rained during the closing time on that day and the third exam had not started yet, otherwise many candidates would have been affected.
On August 20, the day when the third and final imperial examination ended, the crown prince was attacked and the whole city was under martial law.
Sheng Yunyou didn't show any extra expression when she heard the news. She had recently been concentrating on organizing the ancient version of the surgical manual.
She was not a person with lofty ideals in her heart, but the imperial court's conscription every year caused great suffering to the people and had a great impact on her business. No matter from which perspective, she hoped that fewer people could die!
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival incident has not yet come to a conclusion, many people speculate that it is related to the families that were previously dealt with by the emperor. Everyone is also speculating whether the emperor is preparing to take action against the next group of people.
Before this, everyone believed in the old saying that parents should not divide the family, but now everyone has come to the unanimous idea of dividing the family to share the risks.
The emperor just wants money and does not want to force his subjects to rebel. If the emperor really wants to take action against them, at least they will not be as embarrassed as those families before, at least they can still retain some ancestral property and money!
Most families have had the idea of splitting up, but no one has taken the lead in implementing it.
Until the prince was attacked!
A smart person can find clues by careful analysis. The emperor probably didn't clean the place thoroughly out of fear.
Everyone was shocked to find out that the emperor actually attacked his own eldest son, and thus a wave of family division arose in the imperial capital.
The Ye family is naturally not among the smart people, and they have also formed factions. Although they don’t quite understand why, it doesn’t stop them from following suit.
Originally, Bo Rongxuan found Sheng Yunyou bored because he was only busy "copying" medical books. It happened that the Ye family was also clamoring to split up, and Xu asked her to learn how to be a housekeeper. So she abandoned Sheng Yunyou and followed her mother around to run errands.
After not seeing him for two days, this man suddenly appeared in her yard again. Sheng Yunyou teased, "What's the matter? Do you think the housekeeper is also boring?"
Seeing that Bo Rongxuan only hummed and said nothing, she rubbed her sore wrist and gossiped, "Why didn't you go back to the Ye family? Aren't you worried that you'd suffer from the separation?"
The Ye family didn't succeed in splitting up in the previous life, and who knows what will happen in this life? !
Bo Rongxuan sighed, "It's like that anyway. The eldest wife is the eldest son, and both husband and wife are domineering, so they will get the lion's share. We can't get much. I'm pregnant now, and I don't dare to risk my son for that little bit of money!"
"What's the matter? Isn't it just the father's generation that's being divided? Are you guys being divided too?" Sheng Yunyou forgot that the old lady of the Ye family was still here!
Bo Rongxuan nodded, "Those two can't wait to get rid of us. You know my mother-in-law has always valued the eldest son's family the most. I heard that the good sister-in-law's family took advantage of the last opportunity to get promoted to a higher level. My good mother-in-law must curry favor with them!"
"What about your father-in-law?"
"He is only fair on the surface. In fact, he is biased towards his eldest son. Now that his in-laws have been promoted and we have fallen, won't his heart be biased?!"
"Has it been decided?"
"No, now every family is looking for a house, and the price of the house in the capital has been raised by more than double. The Ye family is not well-off, and there are several uncles who come to live with us. If it were our family, the money we got might not even be enough to buy a house!"
After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Sister-in-law, if the Ye family really separates us, can my husband and I come back to stay here? Can I give birth in the mansion?"
"Of course, this is your home too! I have no problem with that, but you have to ask Grandma and Yu'er. I don't really understand those taboos."
Sheng Yunyou patted her hands, "It's okay. If the old lady wants to follow those rules, I have a two-story house outside, you can move in first!"
Bo Rongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, thank you!
You know, my husband and I have actually done the math. If we really split up and want to buy a property, I'm afraid that with the money from the split up and my dowry money, we can probably only buy an ordinary courtyard.
But in this world, how can we survive without some self-defense money? !
We thought that if it really came to that, we would resist to the death and would not let the Ye family separate us..."
Sheng Yunyou understood it now. No wonder the Ye family, or rather Bo Rongxuan and his wife, were not divided up in the previous life. It turned out that it was all because of money!
With her around in this life, the Bo family didn't use Bo Rongxuan's dowry silver, but even so, they still didn't plan to divide it up because of the silver.
In view of their good relationship, Sheng Yunyou advised: "It's actually good to separate them. You won't be able to use the resources of the Ye family anyway. If you don't take this opportunity to separate them, is it possible that Ye Yuxuan is really willing to hide behind and serve as a foil for his elder brother?"
Bo Rongxuan shook her head, "In fact, he was also unwilling to accept it.
Since my sister-in-law has allowed me, I will send someone to tell him to agree to the division of the family. If my grandmother and Yu'er are against me, a married woman, giving birth in her parents' home, my sister-in-law must help me!"
Seeing Sheng Yunyou agreed, she uttered a cry, "Actually, I came here because my mother asked you to go over!"
Originally it was the job of the head maid, but today her mother asked her to look at the account book. She was in poor health and had not used her brain for a long time, so she felt dizzy and rushed over quickly.
"You can forget this? Won't you be even more stupid when the baby is born?!"
Just as he stood up and was about to go to the main courtyard, Xu couldn't wait any longer and came over in person.
"Girl, I knew you were unreliable!"
"My mother didn't say it was a serious matter, so she just pulled my sister-in-law aside to talk to her first..."
Bo Rongxuan knew that they had something important to discuss, so she stood up tactfully and said, "I feel very tired today, so I will go back to rest first, and I will come to see you later!"
Seeing her daughter leave, Xu dismissed all the servants and said, "You'er, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have always felt uneasy. Your father wanted to talk to you before, but he was so busy that he couldn't even stay at home.
I heard that the Crown Prince was attacked a few days ago. I was so worried. Do you think our family needs to do something to prevent it?"
If Xu hadn't come, Sheng Yunyou would have planned to let things take their own course and not make any plans, but she came!
After thinking it over for a while, she spoke, "Fugui and Wangcai have been a little manic these days. Yesterday, Qingdai took them to the garden to play, and these two guys caught a few mice.
When she came back, Qingdai complained that there were a lot more insects and ants these days...
Mother is well-read and should know that this kind of situation usually means disaster. This kind of sign is more likely to cause a disaster. "
Seeing that Xu was horrified, she quickly comforted her, "It is said that animals are the most sensitive, but Fugui and Wangcai are relatively stable except for being a little manic. So it seems that the imperial capital is definitely not the epicenter of the earthquake."
"Then, what should we do?"
When Xu was a child, she experienced an earthquake. She was too young to escape in time and was buried in the house. If her wet nurse had not protected her and hid her under the table in time, and her family had not rescued her in time, she would have been dead long ago.
Thinking of the horrific scene of that year, Xu's body began to tremble and even his brain stopped working.
Sheng Yunyou poured a cup of hot tea into her hand and said slowly: "After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. Even if the capital is not the epicenter, it will be affected by then...
We need to prepare some medicine and food first, and then ask the men at home to go out as little as possible.
And Yu'er, if there is an earthquake, we have to bring him back...
In addition, there will definitely be refugees coming over, and the crops in the fields may not be preserved, so it is best to harvest them in advance..."
"However, the growth of crops this year is not as good as expected. If we want to harvest early in the fall, the yield will probably be only 30% of previous years!"
After all, Xu had been the mistress of the household for many years. She was not the kind of dodder who could not handle any trouble. After drinking a sip of hot tea, she calmed down a lot.
After struggling for a while, she continued, "Your grandmother's family, I mean my mother's family, is from Lianyun City. Thirty years ago, an earth dragon appeared there.
"I feel so panicked when you say that today!"
Hearing this, Sheng Yunyou frowned. Lianyun City, isn’t that the center of the earthquake?
Thinking about the plot after the male protagonist returns, Yu Yinyin plays the role of a saint for the sake of her reputation, and pulls the male protagonist to support this and that, but the only exception is the Xu family.
No, the Xu family is one of the few unlucky ones in this earthquake, right?
Xu had already regarded her daughter-in-law as a half-goddess. Seeing that something was wrong on her face, she became even more panicked. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Yao'er's maternal family?"
Sheng Yunyou shook his head, "Not really, my mother hasn't been home to visit for a long time, if she's worried, why not bring everyone over for a reunion.
Xuan'er just told me that she wanted to live at home temporarily after the family splits up. I promised that if the family is against a daughter-in-law giving birth to a child in her parents' home, I would let them live in the yard outside temporarily.
If she doesn't need it, let her live in her grandparents' house first.
Otherwise, I have another yard, but its size and location are a little worse. I don’t know if my grandparents’ family has many people?
As for the grain, it is better to harvest less than to harvest nothing, what do you think, mother?"
The situation will only get worse next year, and the value of food will only get higher and higher. It will take more than a year for Bo Jingyao to return, and she doesn't want to go through the trouble of feeding a bunch of people!
Pick up people? Collect food?
It seems like a big deal!
Xu's legs felt weak, so she called the maid to come in and help her. "I'll go and discuss this with the old lady first! And your father..."
Oh my God, what kind of world is this!
She didn't even bother to care about her daughter's division of the family property. She walked towards the old lady with unsteady steps and a worried look on her face.
Sheng Yunyou wrote a few more secret letters, and then continued to calmly improve her medical book.
The next day, Xu became busy and felt that Bo Rongxuan was getting in the way, so Bo Rongxuan had to run to Sheng Yunyou again.
Originally, people thought that the division of the Ye family would take a few more days, but who knew that Ye Yuxuan brought back all of their belongings overnight.
Sheng Yunyou hadn't fallen asleep yet when Qingdai came back and said mysteriously, "Master, the Ye family has split up, and the son-in-law and his belongings have already moved in!
I asked the servant of the son-in-law, and he said that it was because of that Madam Ye who made a scene that the son-in-law was so angry that he asked people to pack up and move out! "
