Chapter 2227

In mid May, Xiao and Ninghai returned to Beijing. Seeing two grandchildren, Ninghai is very happy.

Xiao Shi is a face distressed: "black, also thin." Even if it's delicious for more than half a month, the two brothers haven't recovered to the appearance before they left Beijing.

Ninghai said: "this proves that the two are really suffering." If he comes back for nothing, he will be punished instead.

On this day, the whole family got together for dinner.

After dinner, Zhuang Ge'er said one thing to Ninghai: "grandfather, elder sister is engaged."

Ninghai knew this and nodded: "your father wrote to me and said that the wedding date will be next December."

"Grandfather, I want to buy some silk jewelry for my elder sister. The silk and jewelry in Tongcheng are not only expensive, but also ugly. " Ning Yuanhang didn't say. He didn't notice. But with that, he was firm in his mind. Silk, satin and jewelry must be bought in the capital. His father bought them himself without money.

Ninghai heard the meaning in his words and asked: "how much is it?" If it is used in the right way, he will give it.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Ge'er said, "five thousand taels!"

Ninghai is rich and powerful, and Fang Hui's industry is worth more than 300000 Liang. What Zhuang Ge'er gets is a relatively promising industry. The annual rent alone is more than 5000 Liang. Take five thousand taels of silver to buy some dowry for Niuniu, Ninghai naturally does not object

"It's better to buy some industries than to buy those flashy things." Jewelry is also for people to see, can't eat can't wear. If you buy an industry, you can earn interest every year. This is the real benefit.

"Grandfather, what's your advice?"

Ninghai said: "Liu Gen is all from Shengjing, so buy two shops in Shengjing for Niuniu as a dowry." It's cheaper to send shops than to send jewelry and silk.

Liu Genquan will return to Shengjing sooner or later. Buying property there is the most comprehensive.

Zhuang Ge'er looks at Ninghai eagerly. It's a good idea, but he can't do it!

Ninghai jokingly said, "I'll send someone to Shengjing to have a look. When I meet the right shops and properties, I'll buy some."

Zhuang Ge'er was very happy: "grandfather, I still want to buy some jewelry and silk."

Ninghai said with a smile, "let your grandmother and aunt buy these things."

The wife and daughter-in-law have a lot of jewelry. Just take out two sets to make up for Niuniu. It's very respectable. As for silk and satin, they all have their own silk and satin shops, which need to buy.

Zhuang Ge'er thinks that this is taking advantage of Xiao and Zeng Chenfu.

Ninghai jokingly said, "it's custom to take advantage of anything. When a girl gets married, her elders have to make up. Those things are your grandmother and aunt's make-up for Niuniu. "

Zhuang Ge'er said with a smile: "then I have to thank my grandmother and aunt for my elder sister."

Zeng Chenfu was not mean either. She got the order from Ninghai, and the next day she went to the shop and picked out five red satins embroidered with rich jade hall or pomegranate. Then he picked a red satin from his storeroom.

Ning Yuanhang came into the room and saw the materials on the table. Needless to ask, he knew that these were for Niuniu: "Niang, these satins you picked are really festive."

"It's natural to get married in red. Can you still use the pink one? " In a very particular family, the bride has to wear new clothes every day of the first month. And the clothes have to be made of red.

Ning Yuanhang laughed, and then said: "Niang, the lobby sister is very good. It's just that she can't do anything for a maid. "

Putting down the colored thread, Zeng Chenfu asked, "what's the matter?" If Niuniu can't do Tang, she won't ask more. I can't be a servant girl. That's not right.

Ning Yuanhang was a little annoyed and said, "it's nothing to do with me that uncle dotes on that woman, but he asked me to eat in that woman's yard with my elder brother. It's too much. What does he think of me and big brother as? " This is to belittle him and his elder brother and elevate the Tang family.

Zeng Chenfu was silent for a long time, and said, "your uncle was raised by his aunt. In his eyes, it is estimated that there is no Di Shu. Hang'er, don't tell your grandparents about this. They will be very angry when they know. "

"I know." He knew what to say and what not to say.

In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan said this: "brother is like this. In the future, brother Zhuang will surely accept the grievance."

Ning Zhan also couldn't help but frown: "that Tang Shi, originally looked very good." But did not expect, even allow the side of the maid bully the eldest daughter..

"You don't see what happened then? Ning family was willing to marry her at that time, is to help her jump out of the fire. But now that there are children and women, and the elder brother likes her, it's natural to have a big heart. " These are all in my expectation. Once the woman has children, she will plan for them. We can't say wrong, we can only take different positions.

Ning Zhan doesn't want to make more comments on Fang Hui's family affairs: "in the future, we will do more according to the Buddha Zhuang." As for Niuniu, she's going to get married anyway, so there's nothing to worry about.

Zeng Chenfu nodded, and then said: "at the beginning, my father transferred half of the real estate to a Zhuang. It's a wise decision. With this industry, even if there is no difference between the big house and the common people, I can help a Zhuang talk about a good family in the future. " As far as the present situation is concerned, Zhuang's brother-in-law will have to fall on her in the future.

Ning Zhan sighed: "at that time, I thought my father was too worried. Now I think I'm lucky to have made such an arrangement. If not, there will be endless anger. " Even if Fang Hui was partial to Tang's children, Zhuang Ge'er would not be wronged too much.

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: "so you have to discuss with your father more when you meet things in the future. My father's experience is rich and I can see things more thoroughly. "

Ning Zhan nodded.

A month later, things were sent to Tongcheng.

Hearing that it was for the eldest girl, Tang asked, "what did lady Shizi send?"

The housekeeper said, "it's silk. By the way, I've sent a foster mother. "

Send things over, which Tang expected. But raising Mammy was beyond her accident.

After thinking about it, Tang said, "call people in."

Zeng Chenfu's mother, surnamed Xie, looks older because she has deep wrinkles on her face. This guy, too, looks serious.

Seeing Tang Shi, mother Xie just nodded slightly and did not salute. People like them are the most disciplined.

Tang said with a smile: "this period of time, it will be hard Mammy." As the mother of education, she must have gone back after a period of teaching.

Mammy Xie didn't say much. She just asked, "second grandma, I don't know where the big girl is." Zeng Chenfu just let her teach Niuniu well, other things have nothing to do with her.

After she left, Shicui said indignantly, "we've all separated. Madam Shizi is still in charge of our big room. It's too long."

Tang's complexion is not pretty: "Lady Shizi is not a warm-hearted person. I'm afraid the young master begged her." If Zeng Chenfu really cared about the big girl, she would not wait until today to send her mother.

Shicui looked pale and said, "second grandma, it's not good for us that the young master is so close to the people in the Marquis's house."

Don't you know that. Some time ago, I saw that Zhuang Ge'er was only close to Ning Yuanhang and had no brotherhood with his younger brother: "I told you about it, but I can't do it."

"We still have to find a way to let the young master come back."

Easier said than done. As long as the Marquis is still alive, her husband can't intervene in Zhuang Ge'er's affairs, let alone her.

Niuniu was overjoyed when she saw these silks: "don't blame Zhuang Ge'er for saying that the silks in the capital are good!" The cloth shop here has no money to buy such good materials.

Ma's eyes are a little sour. Before the separation, Niuniu used the best things. But after the separation, the cost of food and clothing is quite different.

Niuniu took out the satin and asked, "it's smooth and smooth to the touch, but how come there's no pattern?"

"Flower mother funny way:" girl, this material must be used for your wedding dress Since Embroider Wedding dress, natural won't have pattern.

Since childhood, Niu Niu has been kept by Ma to do needlework. Even after studying, needlework did not fall. Over the years, Niu Niu's sewing is very good.

Niuniu felt very reasonable, and then said to Ma: "Niang, I told you that you misunderstood grandma and second aunt. You see, the second aunt knew that I was engaged, so she sent me such good materials to make wedding clothes. On the contrary, it's the Ma family. Besides money, it's money. " By contrast, it is clear who is good and who is bad.

Touching the smooth satin, Ma said, "if it wasn't for her, how could your father marry that fox spirit?" This is the deepest pain in his heart.

Niuniu said, "Niang, it was my grandfather's idea. Moreover, it is useless for cows to press without drinking water. If dad doesn't want to marry Er Fang, he won't marry him if his grandfather asks him to. " These words were all told to her by mother Hua. Fortunately, Niuniu listened.

Don't wait for Ma to speak, mother Xie arrived.

Niuniu looked at mammy Xie suspiciously and asked, "my aunt said you should teach me? What do you teach? "

Before she came, Zeng Chenfu told her about Niu Niu. So for Niu Niu's question, she was not too surprised.

Thank mother lightly said: "mainly teach you etiquette, by the way to take care of your diet."

"I don't need to learn."

Looking at Niuniu, Mammy Xie said: "big girl, with respect, you are not like an official girl, but like a country girl. You can stay at home as a girl. But after you get married, don't you go out to dinner? As you are now, when you go out to socialize, you have to be laughed at. "

Without waiting for Niu Niu to open her mouth, Ma busily said, "learn, we learn, and ask Mammy to teach her seriously." When she came in, she didn't seriously learn the rules from her mother-in-law. As a result, she suffered a great loss. She couldn't let her daughter repeat her mistakes.
