Mid February is Ruyi's wedding day. So after the Lantern Festival, Ninghai asked for leave.
My daughter gets married once in her life. Moreover, Tongcheng in February is a time of ice and snow. It's OK for Ninghai to go away for a while. So, Yun Qing readily approved the fake.
On the fifth day of February, the Ning family handed over the matter to the deputy general, and he went back to Beijing. Almost to the capital, I met Tiehu and Chunni, who are in a hurry to go to the capital to drink wedding wine.
It's always pleasant to get together. But looking at the Iron Tiger and a lot of old, Ninghai some sad to say: "Dad, this time to the capital do not go back."
Iron Tiger said: "you are not in the capital, I stay in your house to do?" If Ninghai is in the capital, he will consider staying for a while. But Ninghai is not there, he is unfamiliar with Xiao and ningzhan. Stay. There's no one to talk to.
As for going to Tongcheng, it's too cold there and the materials are poor. It's not like Tiehu staying in his hometown!
Iron Tiger see his face low, said: "you have this filial piety, I am very happy. It's just that my family can't live without me. " He himself was reluctant to leave his great grandson and great grandson.
Chunni said with a smile: "kuizi, don't worry, I will take good care of my father." I was not used to going to the county at first, but now I have adapted. As for Duan Dongzi, as long as he has work to do, it's the same everywhere.
Ninghai nodded and said, "hard work, second sister."
Tie Hongbo is an official of the imperial court. He is not allowed to leave his place at will. Tie Honglin has no time to prepare for this year's rural examination. Therefore, in addition to tie Hu and Duan Dongzi, Fu and Duan Honglang are also invited to Beijing this time.
After dinner, Ninghai is ready to rest. I'm tired of driving these days. I want to have a good rest. At this moment, someone knocked at the door.
Hearing that a Shao said it was tie Honglang, Ninghai said, "let him in!"
Duan Honglang came here to ask Ninghai for something: "uncle, I want to get a job in the capital."
Ninghai looked at him and said faintly, "you don't need to tell me about this." As long as Duan Honglang has this ability, he is naturally happy to see it come true.
This reaction is different from what Duan Honglang thought. However, he said with a stiff head: "uncle, I don't want to be a wimp all the time. Uncle, I don't dare to be extravagant, as long as I can get a job to support my family. "
"I've been in Beijing for a short time. I don't know many people. I can't get you a job in Beijing. But if you want to, you can come to Tongcheng. You don't know martial arts. You can be a scribe in the army. "
Tongcheng there is a bad environment, who has nothing to run there! But in the face of Ninghai, he did not dare to say more: "uncle, please let me think about it."
"Go back and think about it!" If Duan Honglang is willing to do it, he doesn't mind getting him a job in the army. Just want more, but it's impossible.
Before Ninghai got married, she sent back a lot of silk and valuable jewelry. But since he got married, he would give gifts back every Spring Festival. In addition to the Iron Tiger tonic herbs are very expensive, other are very common. And Ninghai, no more extra money. Last time they went down the mountain, the situation was special. After that, Ninghai didn't give any more money.
When Wei heard that Ninghai just agreed to let Duan Honglang go to the army to be a bookkeeper and Tongcheng, of course, he was angry and said, "I didn't tell you that I asked my uncle to work for you in Liubu." It is said that the officials of the six ministries are powerful and rich. If her husband can work in Liubu, who dares to look down on them in the future.
When Duan Honglang heard the tone of blame, he said unhappily: "you think I don't want to. But he doesn't want to. What else can I do? "
With that, Duan Honglang sat down and said, "it's not pro. It won't really care for us." He is not only uncle, but also the Queen's own uncle. Such a big official, as long as he has the heart, can certainly get him a good job.
Not only with iron tiger with the road, Ninghai also did not ride on the carriage with Iron Tiger.
Iron tiger asked: "yesterday Honglang went to see you. Did he want you to get him a job?"
Ning Hai nodded and said, "well, he said he wanted to get a job in the capital. I don't know many people in the capital, so I told him that if he wanted, I could get him a clerical job in Tongcheng. " I want to know that Duan Honglang will not go.
Tiehu said with a bitter smile: "I originally did not allow them to come to the capital, but I can't stand it. Your second sister has been begging." After being cooled by Hongbo for some time, Duan Honglang and Wei put down their positions to please Chunni and Duan Dongzi. Although they don't like Duan Honglang and his wife, they are worried about Chunni and his wife. In addition, Hongbo also advised him, so he turned a blind eye to many things.
Ninghai advised: "Daddy, you are so old, just indulge your grandson. Let Hongbo handle the family affairs. " You can't be old enough to worry about your family.
Tiehu said with a smile: "Hongbo also said that he would handle the family affairs well, so I don't have to worry. Forget about him. Kuizi, you wrote last time that Ruhui was engaged. Was it the grandson of the Minister of punishment? " It's too far away. I don't see it once a year, and I seldom touch it. In addition to Ruhui, the rest of the Ning family are not close to the iron family.
Ninghai nodded and said, "this man is in a Zhan's prime minister, and I haven't seen him. However, ah Zhan said in his letter that the child is a good-looking man with excellent talent and learning. "
"Is the local examination coming to an end?"
Ninghai said with a smile: "the child won the first two years. But last year both parents died, and it will take six years to take part in the examination. " On this condition, it's very good.
Iron Tiger tongue, said: "15-year-old Ju Ren, this child can be said to be a genius. I don't know if Honglin can pass the exam this time
Ninghai thought it was enough, but he was relieved: "reading is not the only way out. Look at me. It's good that I didn't go on studying. "
"Well, you don't know the child. He said that if he failed to pass the examination, he would not talk to his relatives. He's in his twenties. If he doesn't talk about marriage, he can't marry a girl from a good family. " This is the elder. I can't finish it.
Ninghai said with a smile: "he said this is to motivate himself, and you believe it, daddy." If you win the exam, you can talk about a better match. If you don't pass the exam, you'll have to wait for your marriage.
After walking for two days, they arrived in the capital.
Xiao and Ruhui got the news and knew that the iron tiger family was coming. They had already cleaned up the yard.
Heard the Porter said Ninghai also came back, mother and daughter were very happy.
After Ruyi and Ruhui met the ceremony, Tiehu said with some emotion: "last time I saw them, they were all children. Now they have grown into graceful girls." Besides, I have to get married soon.
Ruyi and Ruhui look shy.
Ninghai asked, "where's ah Zhan?" As Ruyi's marriage is approaching, ah Zhan must help at home.
Xiao said with a smile: "ah Zhan went out to do business, and should be back soon." Ning Zhan is running outside, and the inner courtyard is like Hui's assistant, so even if the wedding is particularly complicated, Xiao doesn't feel tired.
This word falls, outside have servant girl raise a voice to reply to say the son of the world came back.
The men of the iron family saw a young man in a white cloak coming in from the outside. The boy was born with star eyebrows, sword eyes, red lips and white teeth.
Ninghai some emotion, the son has grown up a lot. And it's calmer than it was two years ago.
When Ning Zhan took off his cloak, he revealed his blue round collar robe, which was decorated with a white jade pendant. No other accessories.
Seeing the iron tiger sitting at the top of the table, Ning Zhan went forward with a younger gift: "grandson ah Zhan, I've met my grandfather." Also because iron tiger is not his own grandfather, otherwise he would have knelt down.
Iron Tiger busy nod: "good, good, good."
Chunni exclaimed: "kuizi, ah Zhan is a good-looking child." Not only does he have a good appearance, but he also has a great bearing.
Xiao said with a smile: "uncle said, ah Zhan is like his grandfather." This grandfather, of course, refers to Mr. Ning.
The family got together for dinner, and then they took a rest.
The next day, Chunni asked Xiao if she needed help. When she heard that she didn't need help, she took Fu to go shopping.
Ruhui took them around the first day, and the next day to help Xiao take care of Ruyi's marriage, she didn't follow.
The next few days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been out. Xiao began to ask a few questions. When they heard that they wanted to bring in a batch of goods and sell them back to earn some pocket money, they left them alone.
Webster wants to please Shaw and Ruhui. But both of them are as busy as the top. They don't have time to talk to her. As for Duan Honglang, he wants to have a relationship with Ning Zhan. Unfortunately, he can't even see Ning Zhan. The people in the house will not reveal Ning Zhan's whereabouts to him at all.
Ning family's dowry to Ruyi is 81 lifts, each lift is full. The dowry of Peng's eldest daughter-in-law is 81. Ruyi, as her second son's daughter-in-law, can't surpass her. If not, it's more than that!
When Webster saw Ruyi's dowry, his eyes almost glared out. Even Fu, who claimed to have seen the world, could not help saying, "how much does it cost?"
Ruhui said with a smile: "father and mother said that the dowry is rich, so they won't be bullied in their husband's house." Since I decided to marry myself, I have been walking around with Peng's family a lot. They also know that Mrs. Peng is indeed a generous woman, as Ning Zhan said, and Mrs. Gong changhoushizi, a backward lady, is also frank and generous. So even Ruyi doesn't worry about her married life.
Chunni is relatively calm, thinking that her family was not very rich at that time, Ninghai bought such a good dowry for her sisters. Now he has the power and power to buy such a rich dowry for his daughter, which is totally unexpected: "it's also your parents who love you. You should be filial to them in the future."
Ruhui hugged Chunni's arm and said intimately, "aunt, don't worry, we will be filial to our parents in the future." When I was a child, I didn't know Ninghai was in such a dangerous situation. I was always against him. But later know the truth, such as Hui specially filial piety. She doesn't love sewing. She makes several sets of clothes, shoes and socks for Ninghai every year.
