As soon as winter entered, Xiao Clan accompanied Tie Kui to Hot Spring Village. Soak in the medicinal bath once every three days, and in the hot spring at the other time. Coupled with the medicine prescribed by Doctor Bai, when the old disease relapses, not only is it not as painful as before, but the time is not as long as before.
Ning Hai was very pleased, and said to Xiao Shi: "Bai Taiyi's temperament is a bit weird, but his medical skills are a bit strange." Before, he wanted to die every time, but now he is within the tolerance range.
Xiao groaned: "If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have to suffer so many sins."
Ning Hai smiled.
The couple were talking when they heard the maid saying that the eldest master and the second master were here.
The cook of Anyang Houfu, the cooking skills are nothing to say. Brother Zhuang ate well and practiced martial arts every day, but he jumped a head in half a year, leaving Brother Hang far behind. In this regard, Hang brother is very resentful.
As soon as he entered the room, Hang Ge'er said: "Grandfather, today my husband praised my eldest brother and me."
Ning Hai smiled and said, "If you can work as hard as your elder brother, I promise you will praise you every day, instead of hitting your palms." Hang brother is very smart, but too playful. Ning Hai did not blame too much for this. The child is still young, so it's normal to be more playful. The strong brother has average aptitude, but he is very hardworking in both studying and martial arts.
"Grandfather, I will work hard in the future." Since studying and martial arts with Zhuang, Brother Hang has worked harder than before. Ninghai is happy to see this phenomenon happen.
Seeing that the New Year is about to come, the strong brother asked: "Grandfather, grandmother, will my father bring his mother and eldest sister to Beijing to celebrate the New Year?"
Xiao family heard the words and said: "Your mother is not very healthy, so she should not travel long distances. So this year, she won't be able to come to Beijing to visit you."
The strong brother was very disappointed.
Brother Hang couldn't see him like this, and took his hand and said, "Big Brother, let's go to the kitchen to see what the auntie makes delicious? Can you make the candied shrimp balls that we like to eat?"
"Okay." After speaking, the two children held hands and walked out happily.
Ning Hai turned his head and asked Xiao, "Ma's health is not good? What's wrong?"
Xiao said: "I was ill some time ago. It is estimated that I was irritated by Tang's affairs. But it will be fine after raising her for a period of time. However, she is just in good health and not suitable for long-distance running." She didn't want to see the horse again. Shi, every time I see Ma Shi she is in a bad mood.
Not only Xiao Clan, but Ning Hai also didn't want to see Ma Clan. After thinking about it, he said, "After two years, I will send someone to send Brother Zhuang back to visit her and Niuniu!"
Xiao said: "You leave the strong brother in the capital. Ma first suspected that Fuer and I would cause him to take possession of the family property. Then he knew that the family was separated, and he was afraid that I would separate the relationship between their mother and child. I was afraid that the strong brother would go. After arriving in Tongcheng, Ma kept her coming back."
Ning Hai's good mood disappeared instantly: "Then wait for a few years, and the strong brother will let him go to Tongcheng when he is older!" This woman really didn't know what to say.
In a blink of an eye, two years passed.
After more than two years of conditioning, Ninghai's body is much better than before. The frequency of recurrence of old injuries has decreased compared to before.
With regard to this result, Xiao and Ning Zhan's sisters and brothers are happy to see and hear.
Since Ning Hai and Xiao came back, Ruhui would return to her family's home to visit them every few days. There is no in-laws, so Ruhui is more free to move.
On this day, she took Sister Yuan back to her family’s home, and heard Ning Hai taking the three brothers and brothers out to go shopping, and said with a smile to Zeng Chenfu: “Daddy is like this now, it’s good. I think when I was little, dad I was so busy all day that I couldn't see anybody. For a while, I even got a little fuzzy in his appearance."
Zeng Chenfu smiled and said: "Bro Hang and Brother Yi now like father-in-law the most. Me and Xiang-gong, both have to stay behind!" All Ning Hai's thoughts were spent on the three children.
He is also not as old-fashioned as the patriarchs of other people, and he is very strict with a few children on weekdays. But when they are on vacation, they will be taken to fly a kite and go shopping and go horse riding on the ranch.
Ruhui smiled and said, "You don't have to be so tired if you have Dad in charge of Brother Hang and the others. Cough, don't you know, I want Dad to help me take care of Brother Tuan."
She didn't just think about it, she also told Ning Hai. Unfortunately, Ning Hai refused in one fell swoop.
Brother Tuan is a child of the Meng family, and will have to take the road of imperial examination in all likelihood. Anyang Hou is the home of military commanders, and he doesn't want to delay his child's future.
Zeng Chenfu smiled and said: "I heard Xianggong said that Meng Shangshu had an official account. After Meng Shangshu withdrew, maybe he will teach the brothers in person."
Ruhui was a little surprised: "My old grandfather has gotten the official account? When did it happen?" Her husband didn't mention this matter to him.
Hearing it was yesterday, Ruhui said, "The old lady is getting older and his body is getting worse and worse. It's okay to retreat."
Ruhui feels good, but others feel bad. When Mrs. Meng heard the news, she was too nervous, and asked her husband, Mr. Meng: "Master, why did he quit his job well, father?"
Master Meng was transferred back to the capital early last year, and now he is the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.
Hearing this, Master Meng said: "The emperor wants to reuse King You, and father naturally wants to make way for King You."
Mrs. Meng couldn't help saying: "If the emperor does this, won't you be afraid of chilling the heart of the old minister?" Generally, the important officials in the officialdom will not retreat until they can't do it. With Meng Shangshu's current physical condition, he could work for a few more years.
Master Meng glanced at her, and said faintly: "Speak with a little bit of brain. It was Dad who made the official post, and it was not the emperor who forced him to retreat."
The most important thing for a courtier is to wink. Since the emperor doesn't want to use you, then retire obediently. In this way, it can remain somewhat decent. Going against the emperor, it didn't end well.
Meng Shangshu withdrew, knowing that he couldn't help himself. But when Meng Shangshu forced him to return to Beijing, Master Meng felt a bit resentful. To be a prefect in the locality, it is a parent official, and it is much more comfortable than going back to Beijing to be a shaoqing in Taipu Temple.
This time, the emperor gave the Zhezi to the official Meng Shangshu, and the emperor readily approved the Zhezi. Then, the king of you was appointed as the official book of the criminal ministry.
As soon as Meng Xuemin retired, the number of invitations received by the Meng Mansion began to decrease.
Not long after, the Seventh Master of the Meng family was provoked and clashed with others at the Yamen and almost fought. After the incident, the Meng family also prepared a generous gift to apologize to the other party.
Although this is not a major event, it makes Chen worry: "Sansao, grandfather retires, do you think my shop will also be affected?"
Ruhui smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be affected." The customers of Chen's dried fruit shop are ordinary people, and they earn more than one thousand taels a year. This is a big number for the Chen family, but it may be only half a month's expenses for those high-end and large-scale households. Therefore, they won't be so idle with the idea of hitting her shop. As for those who are not very tall, they will not provoke the Meng family so dumbfounded. Although Meng Shangshu has retired, many of the Meng family have entered official positions. Although not a high official, this is also a force that should not be underestimated.
With these words, the Chen family felt relieved.
As Ruhui said, Chen's two dried fruit shops were not affected. However, the two shops of Meng's family still had some surplus. But as soon as Meng Shangshu retired, his business got worse and worse, and he lost money in the end. Mrs. Meng closed the two shops and then sublet them out.
After Meng Shangshu retired, the previous benefits were gone. The money at home is getting tighter and tighter.
Mrs. Meng couldn't afford to give birth, so she could only cut her expenses. As a result, the Meng family complained.
Within a few days, Mrs. Meng became ill. The steward of Mengsi's grandmother, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. As a result, the winter clothes and monthly bills were not delivered on time.
Because of this, Granny Meng Wu and Granny Meng Qi got into trouble. Grandma Meng Si got angry and quit her job.
The Chen family worriedly said to Ruhui: "Sansao, the fourth grandma is clamoring for a separation this time? You said, does this mean the eldest mother?"
Ruhui didn't answer this, but said: "Big brother, they have been in office for so many years, and they send some souvenirs back every year, and they haven't seen a cent of the money. But all the money is paid out of the public."
Chen sighed and said: "Yes! I used to think that my eldest brother and sister-in-law were not people who love money, but I didn't expect that they would change within a few years after going out." In memory, both Meng Guangpeng and his wife are very generous in terms of money. !
Ruhui chuckled softly: "Sister-in-law told me in the letter that my eldest brother sent money back every year, at first it was one or two hundred taels. Three years ago, they sent back two thousand taels of silver each year."
Meng Guangpeng was the first county magistrate in Hunan and was later transferred to Jiangning. Jiangnan is a land of abundance, with plenty of oil and water. Therefore, more money is received.
Chen's eyes widened and rounded: "After so many years, my elder mother is really nervous to keep it."
After finishing speaking, Chen said bitterly: "She has done such a thing, but she is ashamed to always say that you hide your privates?" Meng Ranxi's salary was handed over to the public, and he took all the benefits himself. After Mrs. Meng knew about it, she secretly didn't know how many times she muttered.
Ruhui smiled and said: "The population of Erfang and Sanfang is increasing, but the money has not been handed in a share. The eldest aunt has long wanted to separate the family. There used to be an old lady pressing down, and she did not dare to mention it. Now the old lady has retired. , She has no scruples." Meng Ranxi’s monthly salary is actually not much. All kinds of miscellaneous benefits are much higher than salary. Because of this, Mrs. Meng was very unbalanced.
Two bedrooms and three bedrooms add up to more than 30 people, and the cost of food and clothing is the beginning of a lot of money, plus the expenses of the children's studies. But in these two rooms, except for Meng Ranxi, no one else had turned in any money.
Although Ruhui doesn't like Mrs. Meng, it is understandable in this matter. Because it was her, she wanted to separate the family too.
The Chen family also knows this, but she still hopes that the later the family will be separated, the better. After the separation, not only the expenses will be large, but it is very likely to move out. Meng Guangwu is not in the capital, and it is not safe for their mothers to move out.
Knowing what the Chen family is worried about, Ruhui smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, even if you split up, the old lady and the old lady won't let your mother and son move out."
While she was talking, she heard the maid saying that the old lady asked Ruhui to go to the main room.
When Chen heard the words, he lowered his voice and said, "If the old lady asks you to be a steward, you must not agree to it!" Now stewardship is a hot potato. Whoever picks it up will have to burn his hand.
Ruhui smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter what, I won't be my turn to be the steward." That's what I said, but it was Mrs. Meng who told her to go there, and Ruhui didn't know her heart.
