Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Ning Zhan looked at Ruhui with a bitter face, and asked with a smile: "Second sister, what's the matter with you?"
Ruhui sighed and said, "In three months, Meng Ranxi will have filial piety." As soon as filial piety comes out, she will definitely come to discuss the date of the wedding. She will be married by the end of this year at the latest.
"Second sister, you are 20 years old after the Chinese New Year, don't you want to marry?" At this age, she is already an old girl. If it weren't for Ruhui's appointment, but Shou Xiao was delayed, she would have to be laughed at when she went out.
Ruhui said, "It's easy to be a girl at home, why marry?" Marrying is so troublesome, and there are still so many people in the Meng family. There are many people, and although they haven't married yet, Ruhui has already realized it.
Ning Zhan smiled and said: "The court has laws. If a girl does not marry at the age of 20, she will have to pay an extra tax." In the previous dynasty, if she did not marry at the age of 18, her parents would be punished. By the time this law was changed in the Ming Dynasty, the age was extended by two years, and then the responsibility was changed to fines.
Not to mention Anyang Bofu, even she can afford the money. But the problem is, she would cry to death if she didn't marry Xiao. Of course, Ruhui didn't want to marry, but she felt uncomfortable to marry.
Ning Zhan looked at her frown and smiled and said, "If you have a bad time at the Meng's house, you will come back and live for a few days."
Ruhui said angrily: "I want to come back, mother can't talk about me! Some time ago the eldest sister came back to live for two more days, and was driven back by mother."
Xiao had been away from Beijing for more than five years, and Ruyi missed her very much, so she brought her two sons to live there for a while. After staying for three days, Xiao was persuaded to go back.
Ning Zhan smiled and said: "Nonsense. Mother is willing to drive the eldest sister away, wishing her to live a little longer." It's just that the two sons born to Ruyi are the lifeblood of Mrs. Peng, and they won't be able to see them for a day. After coming back these few days, Madam Peng made her confidant run four or five times to the Ning's house every day, fearing that there was something wrong with his two good grandchildren. Upon seeing this, Xiao could only let Ruyi go back.
Ruyi married to Peng's family, and was lovingly and affectionately with Peng Kangshun's husband and wife, and the two sons he gave birth to were loved by his in-laws. Days, I don’t know how easy it is. The only trouble is that Mrs. Peng spoils the two children too much.
Ruhui waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. A Zhan, I will go shopping in East Street tomorrow. I will buy you what you want." Ruhui is in charge of the store at home, but the proceeds from the store It was a direct public account, and she didn't touch it. However, the public school will allocate a sum of money to the inner courtyard every year for the corresponding expenses of the inner courtyard. In the backyard, she and Ning Zhan were the only two masters, and Ning Zhan was away from home most of the time and did not spend any money. With the extra money, Ruhui either buys new-style jewelry or buys beautiful clothes. At the end of the year, there will be no silver left in the account.
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "I have nothing to buy." At the beginning of the year, Ning Zhan was admitted to the Qianwei Camp. He only came back after two days of vacation. But tomorrow he will have a meeting with Qiyou and Xu Chengze, so he won't have time to go shopping with Ruhui.
In fact, the richest person in Anyang Bofu is not Ruhui, but Ning Zhan. Because he can go to the account room to pay, and there is no upper limit.
On the second day, Ruhui took the maid to East Street to buy things. Xiao was busy with a lot of things, so he didn't go with him.
On the East Street, Ruhui's first stop is the gold and silver jewelry shop opened by Qiyou. Now this jewelry shop has become the first choice for the lady of Beijing to buy jewelry. Because the jewelry inside is not only fashionable and diverse, but also excellent in workmanship. Of course, these jewelry prices are not cheap either.
If Hui patronizes every few hours, the guy is already very familiar with her. Soon, she was led to the box.
After a while, the shopkeeper sent over a dozen new jewelry items.
Ruhui chose a pair of blue flower-patterned earrings and a jade bracelet.
The shopkeeper praised Ruhui's good vision, and then said: "Second girl, earrings thirty taels of silver, bracelets 550 taels of silver." This is still a 20% discount, or more than 700 taels of silver. .
After paying the money, Ruhui went out with a personal servant girl. As soon as I got out of the box, I saw the grandmother of the Meng family and the three girls from the Meng family choosing jewelry.
The Meng family has a large population. There are ten men in Meng Ranxi's generation and twelve in girls. Today, the third generation is also born one after another. People are very prosperous, and the Ning family can't compare.
As the New Year approaches, every household will buy new jewelry and new clothes for their girls. However, Qiyou jewelry shop does not provide door-to-door service because of the shortage of things. If you want to buy jewelry, you must come to the shop.
When Grandma Meng saw Ruhui, she smiled and walked to her side and said, "I didn't expect you to come to buy a brother today. If I knew I would have an appointment with you."
Ruhui is in the second room and has no conflict of interest with her. In addition, Ruhui is a girl from Anyang Bofu and she is notoriously rich, so she naturally has a good mind.
Ruhui smiled and said, "I was bored at home this morning, so I went out to stroll around."
The fifth girl of the Meng family smiled upon hearing the words and said: "I really envy the third wife, so I can come out as soon as I think about it." The girl in the second room is still observing her filial piety and will not go out shopping.
Ruhui didn't even look at her, and said to Grandma Meng, "Grandma, I have to take a step beforehand. Take your time."
After Ruhui left, Grandma Meng glanced at Girl Meng Wu and didn't say much.
Until she picked up the jewellery and got on the carriage, Grandma Meng said softly to her: "Ms. Ning hasn't passed the door yet. It won't be too late for the third sister to wait for her to pass the door."
Girl Meng Wu said unhappily: "Anyway, she will have to pass in a few months. What does it matter now?"
Grandma Meng glanced at her, really unreasonable. You are called Sansao before you get through, and you don't know that you think Ning Er will hate marrying! But Grandma Meng didn't elaborate, she just said: "The second room hasn't got rid of filial piety, and the second girl Ning hasn't gone through the door. It's inappropriate for you to call it that way."
Girl Meng Wu pursed her mouth and said nothing.
Ruhui went out of the jewelry shop and went to the silk and satin shop, but unfortunately she didn't see the material to her heart.
Xiao Clan had just received the post from Zhongyong Hou's Mansion, and was thinking about what gift to give, when he saw Ruhui coming back.
"Why come back so early today?" Ruhui has an extraordinary enthusiasm for shopping. Every time I go out, I have to go shopping until the afternoon. And after shopping for so long, I'm not tired at all. This will come back after more than an hour after going out, no wonder Xiao clan finds it weird.
Ruhui smiled and said: "It's boring to go shopping alone, so I came back. By the way, mother, I bought you a bracelet, it's very beautiful. You wear it, you can be sure to look good."
Xiao only wore a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, and no other jewelry. If not, Ruhui would not buy her a bracelet specially.
Looking at the bracelet, Xiao asked: "This bracelet is not cheap, how much did it cost?" Xiao has a lot of jewelry, and there are several sets of top-quality jade ornaments. It's just that she wears jewelry only when she goes out to socialize, and she doesn't wear jewelry at home on weekdays.
Hearing this bracelet of five hundred fifty taels of silver, Xiao poked Ruhui's forehead and said: "Ruhui, after marrying, you can't be so lavish."
Seeing Xiao clan returning the money to her, Ruhui hugged Xiao clan's arm and said, "Mother, my shop has made a lot of silver in the past few years. This bracelet is your daughter's filial piety." Two shops, this In three years, I made almost ten thousand taels of silver.
In fact, Ruhui enjoys it, but it's not a person without a deal. Half of the money earned was spent, and half of the money was used by her to buy mountains.
Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accept this bracelet lady. However, I can't spend money indiscriminately in the future."
The mother and daughter chatted and fell on Ning Zhan while chatting. Xiao said: "A Zhan is seventeen years old after the Chinese New Year, and the marriage hasn't settled yet."
In fact, when Xiao came back, many people asked her about it. Although Xiao said that Ning Zhan and A Zhan’s marriage should be decided by the queen, but Xiao is his mother. As long as she is in the match, when the time comes to ask the empress to give her the marriage, the result will be the same.
Ruhui smiled and said, "Mother, A Zhan won't be 16 years old until the middle of next year, so don't worry."
"I'm afraid that the empress is too busy, and I forgot about it."
"Mother, how can the empress empress forget such a big thing. Besides, there are four princes, he will also remind the empress empress." If the empress has such a bad memory, how to manage a huge country, Ruhui thinks Xiao is completely blind. Worrying Actually, Xiao is not worrying about it blindly, but eager to hug his grandson.
Ruhui looked at Xiao Clan's sorrowful appearance, and then thought about the invitations that had obviously increased recently. To be on the safe side, she said: "Mother, I tell you, you shouldn't interfere in A Zhan's marriage, let alone see other people. Girl."
Xiao clan said unhappily: "I'm A Zhan's mother, what's wrong with me showing the girl to him? If the queen empress forgets, I won't delay A Zhan if I get caught."
Ruhui rolled her eyes directly: "Mother, have you forgotten the Mao family and the Gu family and the Chen family? Your eyes, let alone my eldest sister, dad and A Zhan can't believe it. If not, dad won't ask the queen. The empress has found a wife for A Zhan."
"I will definitely inquire this time."
Ruhui said, "Mother, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you marry A Zhan a family spoiler and come back. At that time, not only Dad, but A Zhan will also blame you."
Xiao said, "I won't be able to do it if I don't go to see each other!" When he said this, he was very lamented. With three children, it turns out that none of the marriages is in charge of her.
It's a pity that even though Xiao Shi said so, Ruhui still felt uneasy. When Ning Zhan returned home from the holiday, Ruhui told him about it: "A Zhan, you have to quickly ask the empress empress to fix your marriage. Otherwise, the mother gets red eyes and gets confused by the calculations and fixes your marriage. Next, that would be terrible." To say so, is also the shadow of the wishful things that year. Some people are Pan Gaozhi, and they do nothing at all.
Of course, they are not muddled, they will be calculated by others. But if you destroy your relatives, it will damage Ning Zhan's reputation in the end.
Ning Zhan also knew Xiao's temperament and nodded, "When I go to the palace next time to see the empress, I will tell her about this."
"It's not appropriate to tell the queen so carelessly? It's better to ask the fourth prince to help you."
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "My own life-long events are natural, so how can the Fourth Prince talk about it. Besides, the Fourth Prince doesn't know what kind of girl I want to marry." Woe to three generations!
