It is a taboo for officials and businessmen to be both officials and businessmen. Jiang Muyan also read the court's palace newspaper with her sister. He knew that these morning courts, the officials of the Censorate and the Ministry of Revenue offered repeated suggestions, asking long live to issue political decrees to better restrain officials and stop collusion between officials and businessmen.

Liu Juntang's plan is appropriate, but others will question it's unfilial. Jiang Muyan knew that Liu Juntang had a family and parents in his heart, and he must have considered this decision. So Jiang Muyan looked at him quietly and waited for him to finish his talk.

Liu Juntang pushed Cherry to Jiang Muyan, "I want to give the Liu family business to my second brother. We only need this house and the fertile land in Lanyang County. I will do my best to do it and will not always be a small sixth-rank living man. No matter when, I will not let you worry about the lack of money at home. Yan'er thinks it is feasible to split the family like this?"

After saying that, Liu Juntang looked at Jiang Muyan with some anxiety and waited for her to reply. Will Yan'er be angry with him when he gave up his wealth?

Jiang Muyan didn't look angry at all, "Cousin Jun thinks it's feasible, that's feasible. But there is one thing that Cousin Jun must explain to his parents."

Liu Juntang immediately nodded, "Okay, Yan'er said, I'll do it."

Jiang Muyan didn't speak loudly, but her meaning was expressed very clearly, "Cousin Jun is the eldest son of the family, and we should support our parents by the rules. Now my second brother is still young and cannot support the family business, and you and I can't help. Xinzhou's family business still needs to be managed by parents. After my second brother can support the family business, we will bring our parents to Kang'an to support them. At that time, we must never let our parents live in a small courtyard. We live in a big house, which is unfilial. With such a big house, we will definitely be able to create a courtyard that satisfies the two elders."

"Yan'er..."

Liu Juntang was born in a wealthy family, and it was common for the clan members to fight for the family business and to turn against each other and become enemies.

Yan'er gave up her wealth and did not complain at all. She only thought about not forgetting to respect her parents. How could this not move Liu Juntang?

He couldn't believe it, stared at Yan'er's eyes as quiet as autumn water, and confirmed again, "Does Yan'er just want this?"

Jiang Muyan opened her red lips lightly and her teeth were slightly exposed. "In addition to this, I am thinking about another thing. Because my cousin Jun's family is wealthy and you have sent a lot of betrothal gifts, my family has also prepared a lot of dowry for me, so there are so many that I have to set up a yard to put it in. After cousin Jun and his second brother split, I can also have less dowry. The extra dowry can be used for the child and saved a lot of effort."

Speaking of this, Jiang Muyan's words are relaxed. The dowry is a woman's confidence. But in addition to the decent dowry, there is also the care of her father, who was conferred by Le'anhou, the stepmother who taught her to be a stepmother, the sister who could rely on each other for the rest of her life, the two brothers of her relatives, and her own abilities. These are all her confidence. With so much confidence, far exceeding the "no worries about food and drink", the "decent" dowry seems too much.

If you get a wife like this, what else can your husband ask for? Liu Juntang stretched out his hand and held Jiang Muyan's hands tightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, so that Jiang Muyan could understand his feelings.

Jiang Muyan was so hot that she was burning by his straightforward gaze. She pulled her hand back and whispered, "We have been working hard for a while."

It was clear that he hadn't said a few words, so why did it take a long time? Liu Juntang looked at the sun that suddenly flew to the sky and begged, "It's noon, I'll take you home after lunch?"

Jiang Muyan shook her head gently, "It's not a trivial matter to buy this house. Cousin Jun would rather go back and discuss it with my father."

Thinking that he had caused him to get engaged to Yan'er half a year and finally got his mentor, father-in-law, Liu Juntang immediately woke up.

If you don’t send Yan'er back on time, it will anger your father-in-law. You don’t want to ask Yan'er out of the house before you get married.

After returning to Shifeng Lane, Liu Juntang told his father-in-law about the idea of ​​building a house and dividing the family in Kaixianfang. He emphasized, "The Liu clan has many people and each has its own plans. After I split up with my second brother, my father and second brother can better restrain the clan members."

Mr. Jiang nodded, "If you want to go on a career, it is a burden to bear too much money. After the separation of the family, it is a long-term solution for you to watch over and help your second brother."

Liu Juntang smiled, "As you said, I and my second brother are not distracted from dividing the family and wealth, which is good for each other. A son-in-law does not need to use money to spread his career as an official. With a son-in-law here, no one dares to oppress the Liu family with power, which is enough."

The son-in-law thought so clearly that Mr. Jiang Er didn't say much, but instead asked about the house, "That house is in Baima Lane, the owner is Ding Zheng, and the family is engaged in the timber business? The owner of the garden is named Chen Ming Shao?"

Liu Juntang did not expect that his father-in-law's familiarity with Kang'an was so familiar. "The Ding family lost money in business and had to sell their house to pay off their debts. The garden has been abandoned for a long time. The son-in-law only knew that the master's surname was Chen, and his father-in-law recognized them?

"Of course I recognize it." Mr. Jiang gently shook the folding fan, "How much silver do they want from you?"

"The house is 25,000 taels, and the garden is 55,000 taels." Liu Juntang explained to his mother-in-law why he planned to buy the garden. "Although the garden is dilapidated, the place is large. After the renovation, it can be used for Yan'er to play, enjoy the flower banquet, and gather with friends."

Mr. Jiang nodded, "The Ding family lost money, and 25,000 taels were 25,000 taels. If the garden says... have you never met Chen Shao?"

"It was done by the servants at home. The son-in-law has never appeared and has not asked them to report to the family." Because his father-in-law is Jingzhaoyin, if Liu Juntang reports to leave the family, 80% of the people in Kang'an City will take less cash in the face of his father-in-law. It can be solved by spending money. Liu Juntang does not want to cause trouble for his father-in-law.

Mr. Jiang closed the folding fan and said, "The money for buying the garden is paid by the teacher..."

Liu Juntang stood up and said righteously, "How can you pay for the money you bought in the garden..."

"sit down!"

Liu Juntang sat down obediently and listened to the training.

"Don't you understand the truth that money is not revealed?" Jiang Ershi glared at Liu Juntang, "Four years ago, you went out of Beijing to Suzhou. You spent 200,000 taels of silver at home and hired Guyuelou's corpse master to protect him. Now you have to spend nearly 100,000 taels of money to build a house. Do you think no one knows that your family has too much money to have no place to spend? You pay for the money to buy a house, and the money to the garden is paid for it, and that's it. You must remember that after you split up with your second brother, you are just a sixth-rank living man with a salary of less than 300 taels per year. Don't sprinkle a lot of money out in the future. The flowers that should be spent, and you want to spend them, and you carry people's flowers!"

Liu Juntang strives to say, "Young Son-in-law keeps the teachings of his father-in-law in mind and dare not forget them for a moment. Do you think this is good? You still have some savings in your hands. You use this money to buy a garden to make a dowry for Yan'er, so that you can have the best of both worlds."

Mr. Jiang snorted, "No need to be so troublesome. You don't have to worry about money. You need 55,000 taels to buy a garden. If you buy it for your teacher, you can't even use 30,000 taels. There is no need to discuss this matter."
