Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 529: Little Master of Seal Carving

Cui Bianxu shook his left leg, throwing a small piece of broken porcelain that had splashed onto his shoe onto the ground. After making sure his clothes were intact, he said slowly, "Grandmother said she can give my grandfather what he wants, but there's one condition."

What curse? He just made a random guess.

Looks like I guessed it right?

Otherwise, why would these two people feel like their eggs were stepped on?

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Even Cui Quan couldn't help but lean forward slightly, his voice filled with cautious ecstasy: "Seriously? What are the conditions?"

Cui Shuhua was confused after hearing this. Grandmother? Old Madam Liu?

Are they plotting against my second sister-in-law? Or is it the Zhao family of Dunhuang?

Cui Bianxu suddenly felt that he might have some talent as a miracle doctor. With just one sentence, his face, which looked almost as dead as the ones under Ding Yuan's hands, suddenly brightened up: "Divide the family. After the family is divided, one of my future children must be adopted by the Liu family."

"What! How can this be possible?" Cui Zhe finally couldn't help but speak.

Why didn't that brat tell him about this!

Unfortunately, his opinion was not important at this moment. Cui Quan sat down again and slowly calmed his breathing. He was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

Cui Bianxu was not in a hurry. Since he had proposed dividing the family, he would not do it without a purpose.

He said he wanted to divide the family, so this family had to be divided even if he wanted to.

What's more, it is Cui Quan and the first wife who are in urgent need right now, not their second wife.

Xiao Cui considers himself a man with a plan for success. In Jiang Shangxian's words, that means having a sincere heart and two preparations.

If they refuse to divide, then let Cui Wei die.

As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. With His Majesty being such a good example, the worst that can happen is that after Cui Wei dies, he will simply follow His Majesty's example and seize the position of head of the family. His grandfather is old and should have taken good care of himself.

At most, I can get my grandfather a few more young and beautiful concubines, and ask my grandmother to get some health-strengthening medicine. Maybe my grandfather can still make use of his remaining energy at his age to add more children to the Cui family and give birth to a few little uncles for me.

The more Cui Bianxu thought about it, the more he felt that he had it in hand, as secure as it could be. He relaxed completely, and the ruffian spirit that had been hidden in him for so long came out.

He looked just like the clan's playboy. Cui Shuhua, who was brainstorming, couldn't help but frown, and her thoughts quickly wandered:

Does everyone in this family have to learn the rules all over again?

The long silence made Cui Zhou a little impatient. He kept staring at Cui Quan, his eyes full of thought: Let's split up the family, it will have to be split sooner or later anyway, let him do it!

Unlike his impatience, Cui Quan thought a lot more.

No matter how rebellious Cui Bianxu was, he was still the husband of the Cui family. As long as they did not split up the family, no matter what achievements he made in the court, the glory would always belong to the Cui family.

But if the family split up at this time, anyone with a sound mind would guess that something foul had happened within the Cui clan. Then, not only would the Cui clan not be tainted by any future glory Cui Bianxu received, but there might even be some sycophants who, in order to curry favor with Cui Bianxu, would step on them in return...

Although the boy from the Wang family is not bad, he is the grandson-in-law after all. What's more, the marriage has not been decided yet. If the family is divided, given the relationship between the boy from the Wang family and the grandson, there may be some twists and turns.

If Shisanniang cannot keep this young man in her hand, wouldn't they lose a legitimate daughter and a generous dowry for nothing?

Thinking of this, he quickly made a decision: "You want to split up, fine. But..."

Cui Bianxu could make a request, so naturally Cui Quan could as well. His request was also very simple: "You have just gotten married. If you separate now, people will inevitably link this matter to your wife..."

The corners of his mouth turned down, and he habitually smiled, his eyes fixed on Cui Bianxu, not missing any trace of hesitation.

Everyone has weaknesses and shackles, and Jiang Shangxian happens to be one of them.

This time it was Cui Quan's turn to remain calm: "Give me the things, and we'll split up after three years."

Three years is enough time, and there is a lot of room for maneuver during this period. They can plan slowly instead of being forced to decide whether to split up or not like today.

If that thing is useless, Cui Wei will eventually...

Three years is enough.

He had done everything he could for his grandson. If fate really played tricks on him in the end, he would have enough time to choose a successor again.

Cui Wei was obviously relieved. Three years was enough time for him to recover and take control of the Cui family.

He had been waiting for too long, and with his cautiousness, he didn't want to think about what would happen if it was ineffective.

Cui Zhe wanted to have three years as a buffer period so that outsiders would not associate the division of the family with Jiang Shangxian.

His wife Yue Niang really likes this daughter-in-law, and he doesn't want her to be talked about by outsiders.

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts, and on the surface, this proposal could barely be considered a win-win situation.

Unexpectedly, Cui Bianxu hesitated and then flatly refused: "Three years is too long. One year, we can announce the separation to the public at this time next year. Today, we will divide the family among ourselves first."

Are you kidding? He can have two babies in three years!

He suddenly felt a sense of urgency and bowed to Cui Shuhua, who was still thinking, "Aunt, please write."

Since we have to divide it, we must do it today and then officially divide it one year later.

Cui Shuhua was thinking so hard that she couldn't figure out the twists and turns here. When she was suddenly called and saw that it was Cui Bianxu, she nodded subconsciously and took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from her small bag.

How can these intellectuals go out without this?

Cui Shuhua took it very easily, and it was only when she held the ink stick in her hand that she realized - has it come to this?

She turned her head in disbelief and looked at her nephew with wide eyes.

Cui Bianxu smiled slightly and said, "Quadruple copies, aunt. Thank you for your help."

"Well, it's my duty." Cui Shuhua tried hard to control the corners of her mouth from curling up.

Great! The family split up, so she was given to the Nian slave, right?!

Cui Bianxu, a master of seal carving, slowly took out a bulging brocade bag from his waist and poured all the seals inside onto the table.

Well, this one is the most handsome man in Qingzhou~

Ah, this one will live as long as the heaven and earth...

Oh, this one already has a wife~

......

After carefully selecting and finding the most decent one, he calmly raised an eyebrow at the others and said, "Everyone, are the seals ready?"

Only the ones with stamps count.

Cui Zhou looked at this scene in disbelief, and finally couldn't help but say: "Aye!"

It doesn’t matter whether it takes one year or three years, but how can this document be signed?

What if the medicine doesn't work?

Cui Quan hadn't expected his grandson to be so ruthless as to even take out the seal. But at this moment, the boy made it clear that he would not take out the things unless the family was divided.

"Oh, separation, separation. Don't regret it later!"
