In mid-May, Xiao and Ning Hai returned to Beijing. Ning Hai was very happy to see his two grandsons.
Xiao's expression was distressed: "It's dark and thin." Even if it tastes good for more than half a month, the two brothers haven't recovered to their appearance before leaving Beijing.
Ning Hai said, "This proves that the two have really suffered." If they come back in vain, he will be punished instead.
On this day, the whole family gathered for dinner.
After dinner, Brother Zhuang said one thing to Ning Hai: "Grandfather, the eldest sister is going to kiss him."
Ning Hai knew about this, and nodded: "Your father wrote to me and told me that the wedding date is scheduled for next December."
"Grandfather, I want to buy some silk and satin jewelry for my elder sister. The silk and satin jewelry in Tongcheng are not only expensive, but also ugly." Ning Yuanhang didn't say, he really didn't pay attention. But by saying this, he firmed his mind. Silk and satin jewelry must be bought in the capital, and his father bought it himself if he didn't pay.
Ning Hai heard what he meant and asked, "How much does it cost?" He would naturally give it to use it on the right way.
After thinking about it, Brother Zhuang said: "Five thousand taels!"
Ninghai is rich and wealthy, and Fang Hui's assigned industries are worth more than 300,000 taels. The strong brothers also get properties with better yields, and the annual rent alone is more than 5,000 taels. Ning Hai naturally does not object to buying some dowry for Niuniu with five thousand taels of silver
"Rather than buying those flashy things, it's better to buy some properties." Jewelry is also for people to see, and they can't be eaten or worn. It is a tangible benefit that there are interest payments every year after buying the property.
"Grandfather, do you have any good suggestions?"
Ning Hai said, “All Liu Gen is from Shengjing, so buy two shops in Shengjing as dowry for Niuniu.” Gifting a shop is comparable to giving jewellery and silk.
After falling leaves return to their roots, Liu Genquan will return to Shengjing people sooner or later. Buying a property there is the most comprehensive.
Brother Zhuang looked at Ning Hai eagerly. The idea is very good, but he can't do it!
Ning Hai laughed and said, "I will send someone to Shengjing to have a look, and I will buy some when I come across suitable shops and land properties."
The strong brother was very happy: "Grandfather, I still have to buy some jewelry and silk."
Ning Hai smiled and said, "This is for your grandmother and aunt to buy things."
The wife and daughter-in-law have a lot of jewelry. Just take out two sets to add makeup to Niuniu, it's very decent. As for silk and satin, they have opened silk and satin shops, so there is no need to buy them.
Brother Zhuang felt that he was taking advantage of Xiao and Zeng Chenfu.
Ning Hai said amusedly: "What is the advantage? This is custom. Girls must add makeup to their elders when they are married. Those things are the makeup that your grandmother and aunts added to Niuniu."
Brother Zhuang smiled and said, "Then I have to take the place of the eldest sister, thank you grandmother and aunt."
Zeng Chenfu is not a stingy person. After receiving Ning Hai's order, he went to the shop the next day and picked five red ones, embroidered with silks full of meaning such as Yutang wealth or pomegranate. Then he picked a red satin from his warehouse.
When Ning Yuanhang entered the house, he saw the materials placed on the table. No need to ask, he knew these were for Niuniu: "Mother, these satin you picked are really festive."
"It is natural to use red for marriage. Is it possible to still use pink?" Very particular people, the bride wears new clothes for the first month and day of her marriage. And this clothes must be made of red material.
Ning Yuanhang laughed, and then said, "Mother, the lady in the lobby is pretty good. She just doesn't have any scheming, she can't do it with a maid."
Putting down the colored thread in her hand, Zeng Chenfu asked, "What's the matter?" If Niuniu can't do Tang's, she wouldn't ask too much. Can't do a maid, that's not right.
After talking about their visit to Ning Mansion the previous day, Ning Yuanhang said annoyedly: "The uncle pampering the woman has nothing to do with me, but he asked me and my eldest brother to eat in the woman’s yard. It's too much. What does he think of me and big brother?" This is obviously to belittle him and big brother, and raise Tang's up.
Zeng Chenfu was speechless. After a long time, he said, "Your uncle was raised by his aunt. In his eyes, there is no such thing as a concubine. Hanger, don't tell your grandfather and grandmother about this. They know, they will definitely do it. very angry."
"I know." He knew what to say and what not to say.
In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan talked about this: "Big brother looks like this, and strong brothers will definitely be wronged in the future."
Ning Zhan couldn't help but frowned, "The Tang family, it looked good at the beginning." But he didn't expect that he would allow the maid beside him to bully his eldest daughter. .
"Don't look at what was going on at the time? The Ning family was willing to marry her to enter the door to help her jump out of the fire pit. But now that there are children and daughters, and the elder brother likes her again, this will naturally become bigger." These are all on their own. As expected. Once this woman has children, she will plan for them. You can't say it wrong, you can only stand differently.
Ning Zhan didn't want to comment on the family affairs of Fang Hui: "In the future, we will take more photos of Buddha and A Zhuang." As for Niuniu, she is about to get married anyway, and there is nothing to worry about.
Zeng Chenfu nodded, and then said: "At the beginning, my father transferred half of Dafang's property under the name of Ah Zhuang. It was really a wise decision. With this property, even if Dafang's concubines are not separated, he will do it in the future. Can help Zhuang talk about a good relationship." Judging from the current situation, Zhuang brothers will have to fall on her to see his wife and even the wedding arrangements.
Ning Zhan sighed a little: "At the time, I thought my father was too worried, but now that I think about it, I am fortunate to have made such an arrangement. If not, I will definitely be angry." Even if Fang Hui prefers to give birth to Tang's A few children, strong brother will not be too wronged.
Zeng Chenfu smiled and said: "So, you should discuss with your father more when you encounter things in the future. Father has more experience in matters and sees problems more thoroughly."
Ning Zhan nodded.
One month later, the things were delivered to Tongcheng.
Hearing that the thing was given to the eldest girl, Tang asked, "What is the gift from Mrs. Shizi?"
The steward said: "The visitor said it was silk and satin. By the way, I also sent a parenting maid."
Bring things here, this was in Tang's expectation. But it was out of her accident to raise the mother.
After thinking about it, Tang Shi said, "Call someone in!"
The maternal surname Xie sent by Zeng Chenfu looks older because she also has deep wrinkles on her face. This person also looks serious.
Seeing Tang, Mother Xie just nodded slightly and did not salute. People like them are the most disciplined.
Tang Shi smiled and said, "This time, it will be hard work for the mother." Since she was raising her, she must have been teaching for a period of time before returning.
Mother Xie didn't say much, she just asked, "Mistress, I don't know where the eldest girl is?" Zeng Chenfu just asked her to teach Niuniu well, and other things had nothing to do with her.
After Shi Cui waited for Mother Xie to leave, she said angrily: "We are all separated, and the wife of the world is still in charge of our big house. This hand is too long."
Tang's complexion was a little ugly: "Mrs. Shi Zi is not a very enthusiastic person, I am afraid that this is the eldest master begging her!" If Zeng Chenfu really cares about the eldest girl, he won't wait until today to send the parenting nurse. .
Shi Cui had a pale face and said, "Mother, the eldest young master is so close to the people in the Hou Mansion, it is not a good thing for us."
Don't Tang know this truth. Some time ago, I saw that Zhuang'er was only close to Ning Yuanhang, and he had no brotherhood with his brother: "I told the uncle about this, but the uncle can't be the master of this matter."
"I still have to think of a way to get the young master back."
Easier said than done. As long as Lord Hou is still alive, don't talk about Zhuang's things about her, but the husband will not be able to intervene.
Niuniu was overjoyed when she saw these silks and satin: "It's no wonder that Brother Zhuang said that the silks and satins in Beijing are good!" The cloth houses here cannot buy such good materials even if they are rich.
Markov's eyes are a bit sore. Before breaking up, all the things Niuniu used were first-class. But after the separation, the cost of food and clothing has become worse.
Niuniu took out the satin and asked with some wonder: "This material feels slippery and smooth, but why doesn't it have any tricks?"
Mother Hua laughed and said: "Girl, this material must be used to make wedding dresses." Since it is embroidered wedding dresses, naturally there will be no patterns.
Since she was a child, Niuniu has been kept by Markov for needlework. Even if I went to school later, my needlework didn't stop. After so many years, Niuniu's needlework is very good.
Niuniu felt very reasonable, and then said to Ma Shi: "Mother, I told you that you misunderstood your grandmother and your second aunt. You see, your second aunt knows that I am married, so she gave me such good materials to make wedding dresses. On the contrary, it is the Ma family, besides asking for money, they still want money." Comparing the two, it is clear who is good and who is bad.
Touching the smooth satin, Ma said: "If it weren't for her, how could your father marry that vixen?" This is the deepest pain in Ma's heart.
Niuniu said: "Mother, this is the grandfather's idea. Besides, it's useless to press the cow without drinking water. If Dad doesn't want to marry the second room, he won't marry him if his grandfather asks him to marry." These words are all Hua mother. I broke it apart and crumpled it to her. Fortunately, Niuniu listened.
Without waiting for Ma to speak, Mother Xie arrived.
Niuniu looked at Mother Xie suspiciously, and asked: "My aunt said that you should teach me? What do you teach?"
Before coming, Zeng Chenfu told her about Niuniu's situation. So for Niuniu's question, she was not too surprised.
Mother Xie said indifferently: "The main thing is to teach you the rules and etiquette, and take care of your daily living and eating by the way."
"I don't need to learn."
Looking at Niuniu, Mother Xie said, "Big girl, with all due respect, you are not like an official's daughter, but a village girl in the country. When you are a girl at home, you don't have to go out. But after you get married, don't you think so? Don’t go out to socialize? Just like you are, you have to be laughed at when you go out to socialize."
Without waiting for Niuniu to speak, Ma said hurriedly: "Learn, we learn, and please mother you can teach her seriously." Back then, she didn't learn the rules from her mother-in-law seriously after entering the door, which resulted in a big loss. Let the daughter repeat her mistakes again.
