In mid May, Xiao and Ninghai returned to Beijing. Ninghai is very happy to see two grandchildren.
Xiaoās face is distressed: āblack, also thin.ā Even if the food is delicious and delicious for more than half a month, the two brothers havenāt recovered their appearance before leaving Beijing.
āThis proves that they are really suffering,ā Ninghai said If he comes back, he will be punished.
On this day, the whole family gathered for dinner.
After supper, Zhuang Geāer said one thing to Ninghai: āGrandpa, elder sister is engaged.ā
Ninghai knew this, and nodded: āyour father wrote to me, and said that the wedding date is next December.ā
āGrandpa, 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. ā Ningyuanhang didnāt say that he didnāt pay attention. But when he said that, he was firm. These silk and satin jewelry must be bought in the capital. If his father doesnāt give him money, he will buy them himself.
Ninghai heard the meaning of his words and asked, āhow much is it?ā In the right way, he will give.
After thinking about it, Zhuang said, āfive thousand Liang!ā
Ninghai is rich and Fang Huiās industry is worth more than 300000 Liang. Zhuang Geāerās 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
āitās better to buy some industries than to buy those flashy things.ā Jewelry is also for people to see, canāt eat canāt wear. After buying the industry, there will be interest every year, which is the real benefit.
āGrandfather, what do you suggest?ā
Ninghai said, āLiu Gen is all from Shengjing, so I will buy two shops in Shengjing to make nuniu a dowry.ā Itās 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 canāt do it!
Ninghai said jokingly, āIāll send someone to Shengjing to have a look and buy some when I meet the right shops and farm produce.ā
Zhuang Geāer is very happy: āGrandpa, jewelry and satin are still to be bought.ā
Ning Hai said with a smile, ālet your grandmother and aunt take care of these things.ā
The wife and daughter-in-law have a lot of jewelry. Take out two sets of make-up for Niuniu, itās very decent. As for silk and satin, we have opened a silk and satin shop, which needs buying.
Zhuang Geāer thinks that this is taking advantage of Xiao and Zeng Chenfu.
Ninghai jokingly said: āitās a custom to take advantage of anything. Girls should add makeup when they marry their elders. Those things are your grandmother and auntās makeup for Niu Niu. ā
āThen I have to take the place of elder sister. Thank you grandma and aunt very much.ā
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.
Iād rather sail in and see the materials on the table. Needless to ask, he knew that these were for Niu Niu: āNiang, you picked these satins to celebrate.ā
āItās natural to use red for marriage. Can you use pink? ā 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: āNiang, the elder sister in the lobby is very good. Itās just that she canāt do anything with a servant girl. ā
Put down the color line, Zeng Chenfu asked, āwhatās the matter?ā If itās said that Niu Niu canāt do Tangās job, she wonāt ask more. Itās not right to be a servant girl.
After talking about their first visit to Ningās mansion, Ning Yuanhang said angrily, āitās nothing to do with me that my uncle dotes on that woman, but he asked me and my brother to eat in that womanās yard, which is too much. What does he think of me and big brother? ā This is clearly to belittle him and elder brother, and elevate Tang.
Zeng Chenfu was speechless for a long time, and said, āyour uncle is raised by his aunt. He doesnāt think there is any legitimate division in his eyes. Hangāer, donāt tell your grandparents about it. They will be very angry if they know it. ā
āI know.ā He knew what to say and what not to say.
In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan said this: ābig brother looks like this, and then the strong brother will definitely accept the grievance.ā
Ning Zhan also couldnāt help frowning: āthat Tang Shi, at the beginning looked very good.ā But did not expect, unexpectedly allows nearby servant girl to bully Di eldest daughter..
āDonāt 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. ā These, completely in their own anticipation. Once the woman has children, she plans for them. We canāt say wrong, we can only take different positions.
Ning Zhan didnāt want to comment on Fang Huiās family affairs: āin the future, we will do more according to Buddha Zhuang.ā As for Niu Niu, thereās nothing to worry about since sheās about to get married.
Zeng Chenfu nodded her head, and then said, āit 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. ā As far as the present situation is concerned, itās up to Zhuang brother-in-law to see her later and even to deal with marriage affairs.
Ning Zhan sighed: āat that time, I thought my father was too worried. Now Iām glad to have made such an arrangement. If not, there must be endless anger. ā Even if Fang Hui later gave birth to a few children, Zhuang Geāer 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. Dadās experience is more abundant, and he can see the problem more thoroughly. ā
Ning Zhan nodded his head.
A month later, things were sent to Tongcheng.
Hearing that something was for the girl, Tang asked, āwhat did the lady of the aristocratic son send?ā
The housekeeper said, āitās silk. By the way, I have also sent a foster mother. ā
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, ācall people in!ā
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 didnāt salute. People like them have the most rules.
Tang smiled and said, āthis time, itās going to be hard for Mammy.ā Since we are raising mothers, we must have been teaching them to go back for a while.
Mammy Xie didnāt say much, just asked, 'second grandma, I donāt know where the big girl is?ā 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: āitās already separated. The aristocratic sonās wife even cares about our big house. Itās too long.ā
Tangās face was a little ugly: āShiziās wife is not very warm-hearted. Iām afraid itās the eldest young master who begged her!ā If Zeng Chenfu really cared about the big girl, she would not wait until today to send her mother.
Shicuiās face brightened and said, āitās not a good thing for us to be so close to the people in the Houās mansion.ā
Tang doesnāt know that. Some time ago, I saw that Zhuang Geāer was only close to Ning Yuanhang. He had no brotherhood with his brother: āI told you about it, but I canāt be the master of it.ā
āStill think of a way to let the eldest young master come back.ā
Easier said than done. As long as the Marquis is still alive, her husband will not be able to intervene in Zhuang brotherās affairs.
When Niu Niu saw these silks, she was overjoyed: ādonāt blame Zhuang Geāer for saying that the silks in the capital are good!ā The cloth shop here canāt buy such good materials with money.
Maās 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, āthis material feels smooth and smooth, but how can it be without pattern?ā
āFlower mother jokingly said:ā 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 Maās side. Even if I went to school later, my needlework fell. Over the years, Niu Niuās needlework is very good.
Niuniu thinks itās reasonable, and then she says to Ma: āMom, 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, itās the horse family. They want money as well as money. ā Two phase contrast, who good who bad at a glance.
Touching the smooth satin, Ma said, āif it wasnāt for her, how could your father marry that fox spirit?ā This is the deepest pain in his heart.
Niuniu said, āMom, itās my grandfatherās idea. Moreover, it is useless for a cow not to drink water and press hard. If my father didnāt want to marry Er Fang, he would not marry if my grandfather asked him to. ā These words were all told to her by mother Hua who broke them and crumpled them. Fortunately, Niu Niu listened to it.
Donāt wait for Ma Ma to speak. Mammy Xie is here.
Niuniu looked at mammy Xie suspiciously and asked, āAuntie said you want to teach me? What do you teach? ā
Before she came, Zeng Chenfu told her about Niu Niu. So she wasnāt too surprised at Niuniuās question.
Mammy Xie said lightly, āI mainly teach you etiquette and take care of your daily diet.ā
āI donāt need to learn.ā
Looking at Niuniu, Mammy Xie said: ābig 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, donāt you go out for social intercourse? Just like you are now, you have to be laughed at when you go out. ā
Without waiting for Niu Niu to open her mouth, Ma Ma hurriedly said, 'study, we study, and ask mammy you can teach her seriously.ā She didnāt learn the rules from her mother-in-law seriously when she entered the door, which led to great losses later. She couldnāt let her daughter repeat her mistakes.
