Niuniu doesn't want to learn any etiquette. She doesn't have to make trouble for herself. Besides, she has to embroider wedding dresses!
Mammy Xie saw the resistance in her eyes and said, "big girl, you'd better think about it and give me an answer tomorrow morning. If you don't want to learn, I'll go back to Beijing in two days. " She doesn't want to learn. She doesn't want to teach!
Lady Shizi said that the eldest girl had not been taught since she was a child, and she was straightforward and arbitrary. This is too euphemistic. Look at this. It's just like a country girl. There's no official girl in it.
Think about the two girls, and then compare the big girl, it's really a heaven and a earth.
Mother Hua takes mother Qin out and arranges her room in which the Zhuang brothers live.
"My girl is not sensible. Please don't mind." Let her persuade Niuniu, but I don't know how to teach the etiquette. If you don't teach like this, you will be laughed at even more. Originally, I was worried about it, but I didn't expect that sleepiness brought me a pillow.
Mammy Xie said lightly, "if you are willing to learn, I will teach you seriously. If you don't want to learn, don't demand it. "
Ma and Hua both want her to learn etiquette, but Niu Niu can't do it if she doesn't want to.
Mammy Xie said with a straight face: "since you promise to learn, you will have to do whatever I ask you to do from today on. If you're not satisfied, you'll have to play the hand board. "
From here on, Niu Niu felt that she was in deep water.
Zhuang elder brother son received a letter, just know Zeng Chenfu sent a breeding mother to his elder sister Niu.
Seeing that he was going to find Zeng Chenfu, Yuanhang asked strangely, "what do you want to do with my mother now?"
Holding the letter, Zhuang Ge'er said, "my aunt has found a nurturing mother for my elder sister. I have to thank my aunt."
"Thank me better than thank my mother." Seeing Zhuang's elder brother looking at him, Yuanhang said with a smile: "elder sister can't even cure a servant girl. I'm afraid she will suffer losses after she gets married. I specially asked my mother to pick up a strong nurturing mother to teach her."
Brother Zhuang was very moved: "second brother, thank you. After two days, I'll invite you to fuyunlou for roast duck! " Not long ago, a dish called roast duck came out of Fuyun building, which is absolutely delicious. Zhuang Ge'er, they all like to eat.
Hangge'er thinks Zhuang Ge'er is more and more on the road now.
In the twinkling of an eye, in September of the second year, Zhuang Ge'er will go to Tongcheng to marry Niu Niu.
If the girl in Dafang gets married, the second room will definitely send someone to attend. This man, of course, would rather go on a long voyage.
Heard that Tongcheng had to march into the camp experience, Ning Yuanhang's face became bitter gourd.
Zeng Chenfu bought something for Niu Niu. Zhuang Ge'er thought it was too expensive and refused.
Zeng Chenfu said with a smile, "this is my heart and your grandmother's, and it's for Niuniu, not for you."
Brother Zhuang bowed deeply and said, "thank you, aunt." Over the years, he also got a lot of photos from Zeng Chenfu.
"Silly boy, why are you so polite?" It's also for the sake of Zhuang Ge'er. If not, she will not have this heart.
Zhuang Ge'er not only thanks Zeng Chenfu, but also thanks Xiao solemnly.
Ninghai also adds makeup to Niuniu, but he is simple and straightforward, giving two thousand taels of silver: "what do you like, let Niuniu buy it by herself!"
Before leaving, Ning Yuanhang went to see Zeng Chenfu: "mother, you must give me a white fat sister paper." Originally, I was not ready to regenerate after I gave birth to the fourth child, but I didn't expect that one of them didn't notice and was pregnant again. The husband and wife have already discussed that no matter whether men or women give birth to this, they will not give birth.
Zeng Chenfu said with a smile, "I can't decide whether to give birth to a boy or a girl." There are three sons, and she wants another daughter. However, the son also does not dislike, Ning family heirs thin. With many sons, we can support each other in the future.
In addition to Xiao's and Zeng Chenfu's preparation, Zhuang Ge'er also bought many things for Ma and Niu Niu. Together with their winter clothes, there were sixteen boxes.
With so many things, it naturally slows down the journey. They didn't arrive in Tongcheng until the middle of October, when it began to snow.
Ning Yuanhang looked at the snow, very depressed said: "here in winter, how so cold?" He really wanted to stay at home and cook. He didn't want to go to the military camp for training at all. He suffered too much.
Zhuang can't explain this problem.
When they arrived at Ningfu, they directly took things to the main room in the backyard.
Ma was making his clothes when he saw Zhuang Ge'er and wept excitedly.
Ning Yuanhang really doesn't understand why his great aunt has so many tears! Cry when you are happy, cry when you are unhappy, and cry when you are wronged.
After the mother and son finished their heart to heart, brother Zhuang asked, "mother, where's the elder sister?" As a bride, Niuniu should stay at home and can't go out.
After wiping his tears, Ma said, "your elder sister asked her about the dowry."
Tang is in charge of everything at home, and Niuniu's dowry is expected to be bought by her.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will arrive.
Ning Yuanhang saw the anger on Niu Niu's face, and knew that the dowry was not as good as her.
Seeing them, Niu Niu took a deep breath, and then tried her best to say in a smooth tone: "a Zhuang, er di."
Ning Yuanhang felt a little magical. But I haven't seen her for more than a year. She has become so beautiful. Not only the complexion is ruddy and glossy, but also the skin becomes white and delicate.
Brother Zhuang asked, "what's the matter, elder sister? So angry? "
Niu Niu said angrily, "I said furniture should be made of sour wood, but that bitch used pine for me."
Zhuang elder brother son smell speech, complexion some not good-looking ground say: "sour branch wood, can compare Pine's expensive many."
Ning Zhan and Zeng Chenfu have begun to collect wood for their daughter Xinxin for future use. Ning Yuanhang likes her only sister so much that she also goes to the timber shop when she goes shopping. Zhuang Ge'er will go with him. If he goes more, he will understand.
Niu Niu said with a green face: "Dad asked her to buy me a dowry. She must think it's too much. So, I'll do something about the dowry. "
Ning Yuanhang is not surprised by this. He is not a daughter. He can't afford to buy good things. If you want to be so good, you won't let the servant girls around you bully the mother and daughter.
Zhuang Ge'er asked, "besides furniture, what else? Is it all the same? "
"I haven't seen anything else yet."
Brother Zhuang frowned and said, "what do you mean you haven't seen it yet? This property shop can't be completed in a short time and a half. "
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "there is no property shop, but she bought a house with two entrances."
Ning Yuanhang asked: "elder sister, this girl is married. In general, they would buy farm products shops, clothes and cloth, furnishings and furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings, daily necessities and medicinal materials, as well as jewelry and rouge powder. What did she buy for you? "
Niuniu said, "except for the field property shop and antique calligraphy and paintings, there are all others."
Ning Yuanhang asked strangely, "Tongcheng is in a special situation. It's fair not to buy a property shop. But there are no antique paintings and calligraphy? " Business in Tongcheng is not easy to do, and it's even harder to sell the land.
"It's no better than the capital, and you can't buy antique calligraphy and paintings with money. Besides, I don't recognize this kind of thing. She wants to buy me a fake, and I can't see it. "
Ning Yuanhang looks strange, but he knows that when he separated, Fang Hui got a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings. Generally speaking, the elder of the family gives the antique calligraphy and paintings for the girl's dowry instead of buying them. Of course, to buy a dowry for Niuniu, even if you don't take antique calligraphy and painting as a dowry, you can't find a reason. I'm afraid. The woman wants to hide these things from his elder brother. You know, the eldest brother is the eldest son, most of these things are his.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuanhang asked, "didn't uncle say anything?"
Niuniu shook her head and said, "Dad is very busy recently, and seldom at home."
Ning Yuanhang thought about it and didn't say anything in the end. If uncle wants to take sides with the girl's children, it's useless.
Feeling the atmosphere a little dignified, Ning Yuanhang said with a smile: "elder sister, grandma and my mother also bought some things for you. Sister, do you want to open it? "
Niuniu nodded and said, "OK."
Xiao and Zeng Chenfu add makeup to Niuniu's two sets of jewelry. In addition, Zeng Chenfu also bought two sets of rouge powder produced by Rouge workshop. In addition, there are two cases of twelve pieces of silk.
Niu Niu's eyes turned red when she looked at these things. Although things haven't been sent yet, the dowry Tang prepared for her is definitely not as good as these.
Zhuang Ge'er said: "elder sister, I've changed a lot of good things for you. Let's see if you like it or not."
Seeing that there was a box of wound medicine in it, Niu Niu said, "how can you still buy this?"
Zhuang Ge'er said, "my brother-in-law is in the army. It's inevitable that he will be injured in the future. I thought, "it's better to have some first-class medicine at home." Tongcheng side of the wound medicine, which has the capital good.
Brother hang said with a smile: "elder sister, the contents of those boxes are not worth as much as this one. You have to keep it. Don't give it away. "
Seeing that Zhuang Ge'er took out something from his sleeve, Ning Yuanhang shook his head at him. Then, Ning Yuanhang took the little mahogany box from his entourage and handed it to Niu Niu. He was embarrassed and said, "elder sister, this is a gift I gave you. Don't be too shabby."
Niuniu opened it and saw that it was a pair of wishful magpie gold hairpins. She was moved to see it.
Hangge'er said with a smile: "big aunt, big sister, do you have hot water? I haven't bathed with my big brother for half a month."
When they took a bath, Yuanhang and Zhuang Ge'er said, "elder brother, the shop and property you bought for your elder sister should be taken out two days before her marriage."
"Why?"
Ning Yuanhang asked, "have you told your aunt and elder sister about half of your family property?"
Zhuang Ge'er shook his head: "I didn't say that." Ninghai didn't tell him, but he was still young and didn't have anything in his hand, so Zhuang didn't feel anything, so he didn't say anything. Later, when he was older, he didn't ask, and he didn't mean to say it.
"The eldest aunt and eldest sister don't know. The woman certainly doesn't know either." After a pause, Ning Yuanhang said, "brother, people die for money and birds die for food. Let that woman know that you've got half of your fortune, for fear that you'll have evil thoughts. "
Zhuang Ge'er was stunned: "shouldn't it be?"
Ning Yuanhang said: "she even gave up the sour wood for her elder sister, and exchanged it for cheap pine. Do you think she would be indifferent if she knew you had half of your property? Brother, we have to be careful at this time. After the new year, you can go to the military camp with me for training
Brother Zhuang nodded.
