Chapter 12: 12

When there are a lot of things in the house, just barely maintain the normal life. Ning Yanting is counting the coming of next month with his fingers in his heart, waiting for his mother to give him pocket money to improve his life.

But after one month, he counted the money every day to give money to a couple of children and two younger brothers. Ning Yanting was also very clear about the details of his expenses. Therefore, he knew more clearly that only by his monthly salary and salary, plus 80 Liang silver given by Ning’s mother, compared with his huge expenses, It’s just a drop in the bucket. Next month, he still has to pawn his goods.

Before the next month, his heart was full of expectation and anxiety, and he even lost a lot of hair.

Before the end of this month, ningyanwen, the second younger brother, came to the door with a happy face.

“Elder brother, Qing’er has been engaged. She is the son of the Zhou family.” Ning Yan Wen said happily, “it’s the son of Zhou family, the Minister of rites.”

Ning Yanting had heard of it for a long time and was very happy for Ning Qing. Seeing his second brother so happy, he said to him sincerely.

Ningyanwen seems to be really excited, pulling him to chatter for a long time, finally is to say his intention. His face turned from joy to worry. Suddenly he sighed and said, “Qing’er has been striving for success since childhood. Now she is married to the son of Zhou’s family. However, Qing’er is so good, but my father has humiliated her.”

Ning Yanting can’t help but wonder: 'second brother, how do you say this?”

“Brother, you know, I’ve never been as good as you. Now you are the most promising person in our Ning family, and my brother can’t catch up with you. Elder brother, you are so powerful. On weekdays, I respect my elder brother very much. But now it’s time for Qing’er to get married. Now when I look at elder brother again, I’m envious of him. ” Ningyanwen said, with an envious look at him, and quickly moved away from his eyes, a pair of dare not let him detect his mood appearance.

Ning Yanting’s curiosity suddenly raised.

He even said: 'second brother, you can’t say so. You’ve been excellent since you were young. My mother praised you since I was a child. Where can you compare with you? If you don’t believe you, ask your mother, are you the best among the three brothers?”

Ningyanwen sighed: “big brother is joking. If I’m really so powerful, how can I even take out the dowry of Qing’er?”

He said, and a surprise, as if carelessly said something extraordinary, quickly changed his mouth: “brother, you don’t put it in mind, I just speak fast, a moment of wrong words.”

Ning Yanting was more puzzled. He frowned and said, 'second brother, don’t hide it from me. What is it that you can’t even get Qing’er’s dowry? Will our Ning family still lack the dowry of Qing’er? ”

The housekeeper is neither him nor Ning’s mother. Therefore, Ning Yanting is not clear about the affairs of the Ning family. However, he also knows that the Ning family has a great career and a beautiful appearance. In any case, he will not be able to take out the dowry of his children.

However, Ning Yanwen sighed again and said: “Qing’er’s dowry can be taken out naturally by the family, but Qing’er is married to the son of Zhou Shilang’s family. If the dowry is too small, I’m afraid it will be looked down upon by the Zhou family. Well, I shouldn’t worry about it. It’s really a joke to my elder brother. But qinger is my only daughter. I’ve been thinking about it all the time. Since Qing’er’s engagement, I’ve been happy for her, and I’ve been thinking that if I can be more powerful and as powerful as my elder brother, qinger won’t have to be implicated by my useless father. ”

“My mother always likes Qing’er, so she won’t treat her badly.” Ning Yan Ting pacified: “Qing’er married a good family, mother happy, naturally will let her wind scenery light of marriage, you also need not worry about this.”

Ning Yanwen still sighed: “I understand the truth, but when I think that Qing’er will be looked down upon by others in the future, I feel sorry for her in my heart. If she could have such a powerful father as big brother, she would surely have a better life. My elder brother has been very good since I was a child. If I can’t do anything, he can help me do it. I rely too much on him. On the contrary, I let Qing’er suffer. ”

“Second brother, you must not say that.” Ning Yan Ting said in a hurry, “I’m the first one to refuse to say so. Ning Qing’s marriage is a great joy. My mother will help Ning Qing prepare her dowry. Ning Qing was grown up with my third younger brother. As her uncle, I certainly can’t bear her being wronged. ”

To achieve today’s goal, Ning Yanwen’s eyebrows just opened.

He moved to pull ningyanting said a lot of personal words, then Shanshan left.

The younger brother is still as dependent on himself as he was when he was a child. At the thought of being able to help his younger brother again, Ning Yanting’s elder brother is mentally troubled and can’t be satisfied.

His mood lasted until he went to see Ning’s mother.

“No way.” Ning’s mother looked at him coldly: “Ning Qing gets married, what does that have to do with me? Her parents are not dead. When is it my turn to make up for her marriage?”

Ningyanting’s eyebrows were deeply wrinkled: “what can’t die? The second younger brother and younger sister are healthy. How can you say such a thing?”

“Since they have nothing, how can they care about you?” Ning mother opened the account book and asked him, “then I’ll ask you, how much silver are you going to give Ning Qing?”Ning Yanting was stunned: “this…”

He hasn’t thought about it yet.

“The old lady and the second room will naturally prepare her dowry.” Ning mother said a memory of the number: “you also want to let her wind Scenery Light married, this good thing can not be without, silver or small head, more valuable things do not give up silver, can not buy down.”

Ning Mu put out the abacus and said, “if according to what you said, at least you have to spend tens of thousands of Liang silver on Ning Qing. Do you really think that my silver is from the strong wind and give it? Or are you going to pay the money yourself

Still waiting for Ning Yan ting to answer, she sneered and said, “where did you come from?”

She took all the expenses of Ning Yanting from her hand. With only a little salary and monthly allowance, and two blood sucking brothers, he could not save half a Wen. As for the Chuang Tzu shops that can produce benefits, some of them have been cheated away by the second room and the third room, and some have already been in the hands of Ning’s mother. His pockets are empty and there is nothing. Even the servants of the Ning family have more money than him.

Ning Yanting also did not expect, oneself this nod, unexpectedly want to spend so much behind.

“This…” His eyes showed hesitation. For a moment, he did not dare to nod his head easily.

Ning’s mother turned red and looked at him with red eyes: “you only care about Ning Qing. When will you think about ah Nuan?”

“What?”

“Ning Qing is looking for a good wife’s family. He is the son of Zhou’s family, a servant of the Ministry of rites. He has a good scenery, but ah Nuan is a good girl. She has done nothing, but her reputation has been damaged. Do you remember that a Nuan’s reputation was still ruined by the sisters Ning Qing and Ning Xin. Their hearts are so vicious, but you are so lucky that Ning Qing gets married and you go to give her a dowry. Have you ever thought about ah Nuan’s mood? ” Ning mother said, the grievances of the previous life flooded into my heart, can’t help but shed tears.

Ning Yanting was stunned.

“If ah Nuan’s reputation is not bad, why not find a good family? Where can Ningqing compare with ah Nuan? She is the daughter of Ning’s parents, and her father is a senior official in Chaozhong. I have been looking forward to the day when ah Nuan gets married. But now? Ah Nuan is a few months older than Ning Qing. Because of Ning Qing, who else would like her? ” Now she said, “I love my daughter, but I’m sorry to hear you go home.”

“Yunlan…” Ning Yanting opened his mouth. He wanted to argue, but his throat was very sour. He didn’t know how to open his mouth.

Ning Mu wiped a tear and said, “do you think I really don’t want to give you money? I’m not for the sake of ah Nuan. Her reputation is no longer good. If I don’t prepare a rich dowry for her, what should she do if she is despised by her husband’s family? Ah Nuan’s reputation can’t be restored. What can I do except to give her more money? It’s better for you, Ning Qing. She has ruined the reputation of a’nuan. As a father of a’nuan, you not only don’t vent your anger on a’nuan, but also take a’nuan’s dowry to Ning Qing. Ning Qing is your niece daughter, but ah Nuan is also your own daughter. Do you even ignore your own daughter for the sake of a niece daughter? ”

Ning Yanting was struck by her series of words and almost could not stand firm.

He opened his mouth, his eyes touched his wife’s tears, and he couldn’t even make a sound.

He stabilized his body, afraid that his wife would say anything, so he made an excuse and ran away in a mess.

After he left, Ning’s mother wiped away her tears and sent him an account in her heart.

……

Since Ning Qingding’s marriage, the whole family of Ning is jubilant. Ning’s mother is angry again by Ning Yanting. Looking at the happy appearance of Ning’s family, she gets more and more embarrassed. She thinks about going and simply takes Ning Nuan out of the house.

“Even the air has improved a lot since I left Ning Fu.” Ning mother sighed: “usually I always stay in the house, rarely come out. I didn’t know that the change was so big outside. Ah Nuan, so are you. Your brother wants to run outside all day, but you stay at home all the time. What’s good at home? Now all the people in the mansion are Ning Qing. Even your father said that he would raise her dowry. I’m not comfortable at all. ”

Rather warm smile smile, neither nod, nor echo, just listen to her complain.

Ning mother took her to the shop under her name for a walk around, with her familiar with her own industry, usually the account books can not see clearly, but in the shop is able to say everything bit by bit. When they were tired, they went into a teahouse and asked for an elegant room to sit down.

After drinking tea, Ning mother suddenly pointed to the window and said, “ah Nuan, look, is that your brother?”

Ning warm probe looked out, along the direction of Ning mother finger, really saw Ning Lang. He stood opposite a prince in royal clothes, the man’s back to her, she did not know what that person looked like.

Ning Lang and that person are very familiar with the appearance, between the words from time to time smile out.

Ning Nuan asked curiously, “is that my brother’s friend?”
