After Ning Huaihao walked out, Mrs. Ning Er said with a smile: "He is Huaihao's classmate. He seems to be the son of Mr. Tongzhi. He was among the top twenty in high school in the imperial examination this year! He said he knows our Meilin Meihua It’s in full bloom. You brought your sister to our Ning family to enjoy the plum blossoms. Miss Wen, you sisters will also go to the plum grove to enjoy the plum blossoms soon! We have a large plum garden in our house, covering an area of nearly five acres! It just so happens that the plum blossoms are in full bloom today. Just right."
The five-acre plum grove is probably bigger than the Wen family’s small courtyard!
Mrs. Ning Er looked at the Nuan family, waiting for them to be envious.
Ning Huaijie sighed: "It's a pity that five acres of plum grove is not as good as one golden lotus."
Mrs. Ning Er: "..."
Madam Ning was thinking about Huai Hao's classmate bringing his sister to see Mei
Could it be that you came here to meet Huai Hao
One grandson married Shichang Bo's daughter.
A grandson married Tongzhi’s daughter!
Well, not bad!
Mrs. Ning said happily: "Today is really a good day, let the kitchen prepare a few more dishes. We also have plum blossom stuffed wine in the house. Princess Hui'an can try it then. Uncle Shichang, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wu, you love me every day Whatever food you want to eat, I’ll ask the cook to prepare more.”
The Ning family is rich, but the Ning family has never produced a scholar, so no Ning family member has become an official, and they have always been merchants.
Only being rich but not noble will ultimately make you inferior in front of those powerful people.
Madam Ning wondered if the Ning family married mostly daughters of wealthy businessmen, so the offspring they produced were not good enough to study!
So Madam Ning wanted her children and grandchildren to marry a lady from an official family, so that she could be a good scholar and change the face of the Ning family!
Unexpectedly, the eldest son disobeyed and married a merchant's daughter.
Fortunately, the second son married a scholar's daughter, and the grandson he gave birth to was indeed good at studying!
Now the two grandsons are much more promising and know how to choose wives from official ladies.
Mrs. Ning is quite satisfied with Wen Wen's background.
Wen Jiarui smiled and said: "Old Madam, you're welcome. We can eat whatever we like. Guests are welcome."
Mrs. Ning turned around and told Sang Zhi: "Let the cook cook all the health-preserving dishes that were photographed yesterday."
Then she looked for a topic enthusiastically. She looked at Wang's clothes and said enthusiastically: "The clothes on Mrs. Wang are so beautiful. I wonder which embroiderer made them?"
Wang glanced at Wen Wen: "Sister Rou did this."
Mrs. Ning was surprised when she heard this: "It was Miss Gentle who did it? Miss Gentle is so ingenious! Weijie, you really found a wife!"
good! Very good!
It is very important for the Ning family's daughter-in-law to have good embroidery skills.
If the eldest daughter-in-law hadn't been good at embroidery, she wouldn't have let her in in the end.
Ning Huaijie smiled, of course he knew this.
Wen Wen smiled slightly: "The old lady is so complimentary."
Mrs. Ning Er, Master Ning, and Ning Huaimin looked ugly!
This embroidery work is even better than Aunt Pan’s!
This is even more detrimental to their second wife.
Mrs. Ning Er looked at Wen Wenxin and said with a smile: "The eldest sister's embroidery skills are so good, I guess the other sisters are also good, right?"
Mrs. Ning Er looked at Wen Xin and thought of Master Tongzhi's daughter.
One is able to climb up to King Jin, and the other is Tongzhi, who has real power. I heard that Mrs. Tongzhi is the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Who should Huai Hao marry? It’s really hard to choose between fish bones and raging bears!
It would be great if you could have both at the same time.
Wen Xin shook her head: "I'm not good at embroidery."
Of course, this is not good compared to gentleness.
Nuan Nuan: "No."
Wen Ran: "I haven't learned anything."
Mrs. Ning Er: "..."
This second girl Wen is not good at embroidery, so if Huai Hao marries her, won't he be outclassed
She must be Tongzhi’s daughter!
Old Mrs. Ning didn't care about the other three sisters, as long as her granddaughter-in-law met. She looked for a topic more enthusiastically: "I'm lucky enough to meet several sisters today. All of them have the look of a sinking fish, and look like a flower with a closed moon, why don't they? You came here to see your buddies, are you going to school?"
Nuan Nuan: "My brother and the others went to Beijing, and they will have a test in the spring. The master warned me very carefully that the road between Beijing and Jianghuai Mansion is far away, and it will take nearly ten days to go back and forth, so they won't be able to come back in time. They said that next time Say hello to the old lady when you come back."
After a while, Nuan Nuan also saw Mrs. Ning's character clearly.
She will treat anyone who is profitable to her and can treat the Ning family well.
Such people are not difficult to deal with.
This situation is not too bad!
As long as she shows their family's trump card and makes her feel that their family is profitable, at least she won't be embarrassed by her future marriage.
"Young Master Wen is actually the master of civil education? Uncle Shichang is so good at raising children!" Mrs. Ning was indeed even happier after hearing this.
Will try it! Those who can participate in the examination are all Juren!
It’s not easy to pass the exam!
It proves that this family is good at studying.
There are many nephews and uncles, and she seemed to see her great-grandson riding a tall horse and parading through the streets as the champion!
She has been the old lady of the Ning family for most of her life. Although the Ning family is rich and powerful, she often feels contempt in front of the wives of some dignitaries.
It's as if they are superior to others because they are official wives, and they themselves smell like copper.
Therefore, it is her obsession to let the Ning family change from business to officialdom.
Madam Ning Er's alarm bells rang in her heart.
Ning Huaimin was even more unwilling to accept it. It was too early to marry her!
But what about participating in the examination? How many candidates stopped at the examination and had no choice but to return to their hometowns to become concubines
He smiled and said: "I don't know where Mr. Wen got in the examination. If he is only among the top fifty in Jianghuai Mansion, then he must have passed the imperial examination! The twenty sons of Mr. Tongzhi are very likely to pass the examination. Taking part in the imperial examination!"
Wen Jiarui: "The eldest son was okay. He passed the Jie Yuan exam, but the second son was not good. His temperament was unstable and he only got tenth place in the exam. It is not easy to get a Jinshi in high school, and I don't know if they can get into high school this year."
The room was eerily quiet!
Mrs. Ning: By the way, this year’s Jieyuan seems to be named Wen.
I heard he won three yuan in a row!
Even those who have won three yuan cannot be admitted to the high school, so do the others still need to take the exam
Madam Ning was overjoyed and overjoyed!
This is not only material for reading, this is simply material for Wenquxing!
Mrs. Ning said happily: "I will definitely be able to go to high school. It would be unreasonable not to go to high school! Haha..."
My nephew is so much like my uncle! Her great-grandson is also the number one scholar!
Mrs. Ning Er glanced at Wen Xin again: her elder brother was actually Jie Yuan. The Jie Yuan of Jianghuai Mansion was capable of competing for the top prize.
With King Jin as my brother-in-law, how could his official career be any worse in the future
The conditions are better than those of Tongzhi’s daughter!
Huai Hao’s wife should choose this warm one!
At this time, Ning Huaihao walked in with several boys and girls, his face a bit ugly.
What was Zhou Zhengtao thinking this time? The little sister he brought had a pockmarked face, which made her look off-putting!
Song Wei brought over that ugly guy who was notoriously unmarried!
And this Song Jinxin, this fat lady must be his sister-in-law! Why did he take his sister-in-law out
Where is the promised sister
