In mid May, Xiao and Ninghai returned to Beijing. Ninghai is very happy to see two grandchildren.
Xiaoâs face is distressed: âblack, also thin.â Even if the food is delicious and delicious for more than half a month, the two brothers havenât recovered their appearance before leaving Beijing.
âThis proves that they are really suffering,â Ninghai said If he comes back, he will be punished.
On this day, the whole family gathered for dinner.
After supper, Zhuang Geâer said one thing to Ninghai: âGrandpa, elder sister is engaged.â
Ninghai knew this, and nodded: âyour father wrote to me, and said that the wedding date is next December.â
âGrandpa, I want to buy some silk jewelry for my elder sister. The silk, satin and jewelry on the other side of Tongcheng are not only expensive, but also ugly. â Ningyuanhang didnât say that he didnât pay attention. But when he said that, he was firm. These silk and satin jewelry must be bought in the capital. If his father doesnât give him money, he will buy them himself.
Ninghai heard the meaning of his words and asked, âhow much is it?â In the right way, he will give.
After thinking about it, Zhuang said, âfive thousand Liang!â
Ninghai is rich and Fang Huiâs industry is worth more than 300000 Liang. Zhuang Geâerâs income is also good industry, and the annual rent alone is more than 5000 Liang. With five thousand liang of silver, Ninghai will buy some dowry for Niuniu. Naturally, Ninghai is not against
âitâs better to buy some industries than to buy those flashy things.â Jewelry is also for people to see, canât eat canât wear. After buying the industry, there will be interest every year, which is the real benefit.
âGrandfather, what do you suggest?â
Ninghai said, âLiu Gen is all from Shengjing, so I will buy two shops in Shengjing to make nuniu a dowry.â Itâs cheaper to send a shop than jewelry, silk and satin.
After all, Liu Genquan will return to Shengjing sooner or later. Buying property there is the most comprehensive.
Brother Zhuang looks at Ninghai. The idea is very good, but he canât do it!
Ninghai said jokingly, âIâll send someone to Shengjing to have a look and buy some when I meet the right shops and farm produce.â
Zhuang Geâer is very happy: âGrandpa, jewelry and satin are still to be bought.â
Ning Hai said with a smile, âlet your grandmother and aunt take care of these things.â
The wife and daughter-in-law have a lot of jewelry. Take out two sets of make-up for Niuniu, itâs very decent. As for silk and satin, we have opened a silk and satin shop, which needs buying.
Zhuang Geâer thinks that this is taking advantage of Xiao and Zeng Chenfu.
Ninghai jokingly said: âitâs a custom to take advantage of anything. Girls should add makeup when they marry their elders. Those things are your grandmother and auntâs makeup for Niu Niu. â
âThen I have to take the place of elder sister. Thank you grandma and aunt very much.â
Zeng Chenfu was not a mean person either. The next day she was ordered by Ninghai, she went to the shop and picked five red ones, embroidered with jade hall rich or pomegranate and other meaningful silks. Then I picked a red satin from my warehouse.
Iâd rather sail in and see the materials on the table. Needless to ask, he knew that these were for Niu Niu: âNiang, you picked these satins to celebrate.â
âItâs natural to use red for marriage. Can you use pink? â A very fastidious family, the bride will wear new clothes every day of the first month of marriage. Moreover, all the clothes must be made of red materials.
Ning Yuanhang smiled, and then said: âNiang, the elder sister in the lobby is very good. Itâs just that she canât do anything with a servant girl. â
Put down the color line, Zeng Chenfu asked, âwhatâs the matter?â If itâs said that Niu Niu canât do Tangâs job, she wonât ask more. Itâs not right to be a servant girl.
After talking about their first visit to Ningâs mansion, Ning Yuanhang said angrily, âitâs nothing to do with me that my uncle dotes on that woman, but he asked me and my brother to eat in that womanâs yard, which is too much. What does he think of me and big brother? â This is clearly to belittle him and elder brother, and elevate Tang.
Zeng Chenfu was speechless for a long time, and said, âyour uncle is raised by his aunt. He doesnât think there is any legitimate division in his eyes. Hangâer, donât tell your grandparents about it. They will be very angry if they know it. â
âI know.â He knew what to say and what not to say.
In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan said this: âbig brother looks like this, and then the strong brother will definitely accept the grievance.â
Ning Zhan also couldnât help frowning: âthat Tang Shi, at the beginning looked very good.â But did not expect, unexpectedly allows nearby servant girl to bully Di eldest daughter..
âDonât you see what happened then? Ning family was willing to marry her at that time to help her out of the fire pit. But now there are children and women, and the eldest brother likes her, so naturally, this heart will grow. â These, completely in their own anticipation. Once the woman has children, she plans for them. We canât say wrong, we can only take different positions.
Ning Zhan didnât want to comment on Fang Huiâs family affairs: âin the future, we will do more according to Buddha Zhuang.â As for Niu Niu, thereâs nothing to worry about since sheâs about to get married.
Zeng Chenfu nodded her head, and then said, âit was a wise decision that my father transferred half of the real estate to ah Zhuang. With this industry, even if the big houses are not divided, they can help ah Zhuang talk about a good family later. â As far as the present situation is concerned, itâs up to Zhuang brother-in-law to see her later and even to deal with marriage affairs.
Ning Zhan sighed: âat that time, I thought my father was too worried. Now Iâm glad to have made such an arrangement. If not, there must be endless anger. â Even if Fang Hui later gave birth to a few children, Zhuang Geâer would not be too aggrieved.
Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: 'so, in the future, when you meet something, you have to consult with your father more. Dadâs experience is more abundant, and he can see the problem more thoroughly. â
Ning Zhan nodded his head.
A month later, things were sent to Tongcheng.
Hearing that something was for the girl, Tang asked, âwhat did the lady of the aristocratic son send?â
The housekeeper said, âitâs silk. By the way, I have also sent a foster mother. â
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Send something here, as Mr. Tang expected. But it was beyond her accident to raise Mammy.
After thinking about it, Tang said, âcall people in!â
Zeng Chenfu sent this educated mother, surnamed Xie, who looks older because of the deep wrinkles on her face. This man, too, looks serious.
When she saw Tang, Mammy Xie just nodded a little and didnât salute. People like them have the most rules.
Tang smiled and said, âthis time, itâs going to be hard for Mammy.â Since we are raising mothers, we must have been teaching them to go back for a while.
Mammy Xie didnât say much, just asked, 'second grandma, I donât know where the big girl is?â Zeng Chenfu just asked her to teach Niu Niu well. Other things have nothing to do with her.
Shicui said angrily after mother Xie left: âitâs already separated. The aristocratic sonâs wife even cares about our big house. Itâs too long.â
Tangâs face was a little ugly: âShiziâs wife is not very warm-hearted. Iâm afraid itâs the eldest young master who begged her!â If Zeng Chenfu really cared about the big girl, she would not wait until today to send her mother.
Shicuiâs face brightened and said, âitâs not a good thing for us to be so close to the people in the Houâs mansion.â
Tang doesnât know that. Some time ago, I saw that Zhuang Geâer was only close to Ning Yuanhang. He had no brotherhood with his brother: âI told you about it, but I canât be the master of it.â
âStill think of a way to let the eldest young master come back.â
Easier said than done. As long as the Marquis is still alive, her husband will not be able to intervene in Zhuang brotherâs affairs.
When Niu Niu saw these silks, she was overjoyed: âdonât blame Zhuang Geâer for saying that the silks in the capital are good!â The cloth shop here canât buy such good materials with money.
Maâs eyes are sour. Before the separation, Niu Niu used the best things. After the separation, the food and clothing consumption was poor for several times.
Niuniu took out the satin and asked with some wonder, âthis material feels smooth and smooth, but how can it be without pattern?â
âFlower mother jokingly said:â girl, this material must be used for your wedding dress Since they are embroidered, there will be no pattern.
Since she was a child, Niu Niu has been doing needlework by Ma Maâs side. Even if I went to school later, my needlework fell. Over the years, Niu Niuâs needlework is very good.
Niuniu thinks itâs reasonable, and then she says to Ma: âMom, I told you that you misunderstood grandma and aunt two. You see, the second aunt knew that I was engaged, so she sent me such good materials to make the wedding dress. On the contrary, itâs the horse family. They want money as well as money. â Two phase contrast, who good who bad at a glance.
Touching the smooth satin, Ma said, âif it wasnât for her, how could your father marry that fox spirit?â This is the deepest pain in his heart.
Niuniu said, âMom, itâs my grandfatherâs idea. Moreover, it is useless for a cow not to drink water and press hard. If my father didnât want to marry Er Fang, he would not marry if my grandfather asked him to. â These words were all told to her by mother Hua who broke them and crumpled them. Fortunately, Niu Niu listened to it.
Donât wait for Ma Ma to speak. Mammy Xie is here.
Niuniu looked at mammy Xie suspiciously and asked, âAuntie said you want to teach me? What do you teach? â
Before she came, Zeng Chenfu told her about Niu Niu. So she wasnât too surprised at Niuniuâs question.
Mammy Xie said lightly, âI mainly teach you etiquette and take care of your daily diet.â
âI donât need to learn.â
Looking at Niuniu, Mammy Xie said: âbig girl, forgive me for being frank. You are not like a government girl, but like a village girl in the country. You can be a girl at home without going out. But after you get married, donât you go out for social intercourse? Just like you are now, you have to be laughed at when you go out. â
Without waiting for Niu Niu to open her mouth, Ma Ma hurriedly said, 'study, we study, and ask mammy you can teach her seriously.â She didnât learn the rules from her mother-in-law seriously when she entered the door, which led to great losses later. She couldnât let her daughter repeat her mistakes.
