Chapter 8

Ning mother said to do, the next day, Ning Yanting and Ning Lang are empty handed out of the door.

The lunch for both of them had been prepared by the government. If they were restrained, there would be no other expenses. Ning Yanting didn't feel anything. He only told his mother to buy some good jewelry for Ning Nuan. Only Ning Lang had a bitter face. He was awakened by Ning's mother's clapping at the door early in the morning. He didn't even have a good head. After having breakfast, Ning's mother drove him out to school.

Ning's mother always connived at him. In the past, when he slept until the sun went up, only Ning Yanting would reprimand him. But every time he spoke, Ning's mother would come to protect him. Ning mother is obedient to him. Ning Lang is the first time to feel the cold and merciless winter wind from his mother.

However, Ning's mother was quite reasonable: "a'nuan got up early in the morning and gave me a hand. Look at you. You are two years older than a'nuan, but it's not as intimate as a Nuan's sister."

Ning Lang has nothing to say.

Ning's mother was very angry with him and even chased him to scold him: "I can't read well. I can't even get up early. How can a'nuan expect you in the future? I'd better take root and stick mallet, which can help a'nuan beat people!"

Ning Lang full of despair, only feel Ning mother's temper is getting worse and worse, where there is a little bit of formerly gentle like water appearance? Now it's ferocious. It's only cruel to him. It's more gentle to treat ah Nuan than before! What's more irritating is that his sister still hides behind his mother's face and laughs. He doesn't even receive the hint in his eyes, let alone say anything nice for him.

When they left, Ning's mother was busy.

She took out all the account books, and called the steward in her shop to check with them one by one.

Ning mother makes a lot of noise, even two rooms and three rooms can't help peeping into this side. Can Ning mother all ignore, but all have come to inquire, let servant girl rush back.

She asked Ning Nuan to give her a hand, and she also had the idea of letting Ning Nuan contact with these affairs earlier, so as not to be like in her previous life. However, ah Nuan didn't even know what she had in her hand.

The more reconciling, the more clear the things in their hands, Ning mother can not bear to scold themselves in the heart.

Her father prepared so much dowry for her just to let Ning Fu not look down on herself. Her dowry was the thickest among the sisters in law. According to the truth, it should also be the most confident. But in the end, she fell into that position.

She was so stupid in her last life!

Ning mother is more calculated, the more memories, the more can not restrain their own heart anger.

The more she calculated, the more angry she became. Even with the attitude of being in charge of affairs, she became more cautious. The maids went in and out more lightly, for fear that she would get into trouble. Later, on the contrary, it was Ning's mother who came back to her first. Seeing Ning Nuan's attention, she took the account book of a small shop to her and let her go back to the room to have a good look.

"Mother, I'll be here with you."

Ning mother and pleasant way: "a warm, go to your house, Niang afraid Niang angry frighten you."

Ning Nuan:

Rather warm had no choice but to say nothing more and went back to his room with fragrant peach.

As soon as the door was closed, the peach took a deep breath and spat it out heavily. She patted her chest and said, "madam, it's so terrible. I've never seen her like this."

"What's wrong with it?" Ning warm will open the account book, carefully looked up, casually should say: "I think Niang is very good now, she is a fierce, no one dares to bully her."

"Yes, it is." Xiangtao was happy again and said, "Miss, you didn't see the face of the second miss yesterday. The maid and other people took back the jewelry on the second miss's dressing table. The face of the second miss is worse than swallowing the flies. The maid always thinks that the lady is always so good-natured and will be bullied by the second lady. Now it is better, the lady becomes so fierce Whether it is the second lady or the third lady, or the second and third lady, they dare not bully us

Ning warm casually should a, slowly turn over the account book.

Usually Ning mother pity her, plus Ning mother also can't get in touch with the affairs of Ning family, so she has never let her contact with these things, and all the affairs in ningnuan yard are taken care of by Ning mother. Ning mother takes care of everything in an orderly way. Ning Nuan is still in contact with accounting for the first time.

She usually read most of the books in Ning Fu's study and practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Ning's mother was full of hope for her to marry a good family, so she also trained her to be a lady. If you draw with a pen, Ning Nuan can still be good at it. If you dial an abacus or something, you will be confused.

At first, she looked at the account book very slowly. When she met something she didn't understand, she also looked at the gap between Ning Mu's drinking water. At the end of the day, not only did Ning Mu's reconciliation progress go by half, but also Ning Nuan's learning progress also soared.

When dusk falls, Ning Lang and Ning Yanting also go home.

Ning Lang's whole body was wilting. He didn't dare to disobey Ning's mother's words. A schoolboy was staring at him. He sat in the school all day long, and even his teacher felt strange. All day long, he looked at him a lot, and deliberately chose him to answer questions. Needless to say, Ning Lang could not answer anything. Naturally, he was reprimanded by his master, which made other students laugh.Even Ning Yanting's face is not very good-looking.

As soon as he got home, he first went to Ning mother to have a look. Seeing Ning mother busy checking accounts, he hesitated not to know whether to go in or not.

He lingered at the door, but Ning Nuan, who came to consult his mother, found him first.

"Dad, what are you doing standing at the door?" Ning Nuan said curiously, "are you looking for your mother? Mother is in there. Why don't you go in? "

Ning father's heart chat up.

He said he was sorry to ask for pocket money.

Ning Fu coughed, his eyes fell on the account book in Ning Nuan's hands, and immediately his face was straight and he said seriously, "ah Nuan, what are you doing with this?"

"Mother let me learn how to manage accounts." Referring to this, Ning Nuan also somewhat shyly lowered his head: "mother said, the daughter has also reached the age, in the future if married, also want to manage the family affairs, so let the daughter now follow to learn."

When it comes to getting married, Ning Yanting can't help thinking about what he heard today.

Last night, his wife said that to him. He was in a heavy mood and couldn't sleep all night. As soon as he went out today, he immediately sent someone to inquire. He had a fluke idea, wondering if his wife had misunderstood something, but when the inquirer came back and said it, he knew that what his wife said was true.

A warm's reputation is really bad.

Big families pay most attention to reputation. Ah Nuan's reputation has become this way. How can you say a good family in the future?

Looking at the shy daughter in front of him, Ning Yanting gets sour again in his heart, and dare not mention to ask for silver again.

"Dad?" Seeing that he was in a daze for a long time, Ning warm couldn't help calling him: "Dad, is something wrong?"

"Nothing." Ning Yanting was embarrassed to turn around: "you and your mother study hard, I I'm going to see long. "

He said that, without stopping, he left in a panic.

Ning Nuan looked at his back for a moment, then raised his feet into the room.

"Mom, dad just came."

"I know." Ning mother stopped and asked the servant girl to pinch her numb arm: "your father must have come to ask for money from me. Fortunately, you are clever. You have to give him away first. If he comes in, I will scold him first."

Rather warm can't help but laugh: "I don't think Dad means that."

"What else does it mean?" Ning's mother hummed: "his ears are soft and his hands are generous. Who doesn't like it? When he went out today, he didn't bring any copper money with him. I think it's not a good day to come here. He didn't come to me as soon as he came back? "

Ning Nuan went to her side and put down the account book. He said, "Dad is busy on business, and he won't go out drinking with other adults. Does this cost a lot?"

Ning mother picked up another account book and put it in front of her.

"You see, your father's expenses, I have all written down, you read to know."

Ning warm never knew that she still had such an account book. She was stunned for a moment and even forgot to open it.

"Don't worry. I'll remember your father's, you and lang'er's. they don't spend much money on weekdays. Although lang'er likes to play, he doesn't spend as much as your father does."

Listen to Ning mother said so, Ning warm curiosity immediately raised, she reached out to open the account book, from the first slowly began to remember.

Ning's mother didn't start bookkeeping from the beginning, but later she saw that her father's expenses were increasing, and she was unwilling to mention it, so she chose to write it down in the account book.

The account books have turned yellow, and the first one was many years ago. Ning's mother remembers every stroke clearly. It's not so much Ning Fu's account book as the expenses borne by the big house for the second room and the third room. Even the expenses of buying jewelry for Ning Qing are recorded in this account book. Ning warm study for a day, has been able to learn and use, quickly picked out the part of Ning father's separate expenses to see.

Ning's father can remember every expenditure clearly. Most of his expenses were for his two brothers, or for his nieces and nephews. Ning Yanting's business is busy, but his two younger brothers are not the same. They have low official positions and like to drink and play with friends on weekdays. But where can they afford their salaries and monthly regulations? The wife of the family is not Ning mother such a money doll, so every time is sent to call Ning Yanting to pay. Ningyanting is the most favorite two younger brothers, however, which what does not allow?

In comparison, Ning Lang today to buy a wren, tomorrow to buy a hairpin, has been considered very frugal.

Rather warm see more is frightened, after even, is unable to restrain oneself on the face of surprise.

Ning mother's tone is light: "your father has always been so, you are not the first time to know."

Ning warm is not the first time to know, but she is the first time to find that the two uncles know more than she did. On the account book, Ning father's expenditure is a large sum of money, but rarely spent on their own body.

She closed the account book and said firmly: "Niang, you are right. Everything is up to you."

In any case, when the money comes to my father's hand, it will benefit other people in the end. In the end, my father's quality of life will not decline. Even if my father's life is a little embarrassed, we can't let other people take advantage of it!In the study.

Sitting in his chair, Ning Yanting was worried about his daughter's marriage when he heard a rush of footsteps. After a while, someone opened the door of his study and interrupted his thinking.

Ning Yanting raised his head and saw his younger brother come in angrily.

"Big brother!" Ning Yanhai angrily said, "why didn't you come to the restaurant to pay for me today? I took my friend with me. I said it was a treat. I called the boy to call you, but you didn't come. I lost my face in front of my friend

Ningyanting a fluster, hastily pacify a way: "three younger brothers, you don't worry, you are good to say."

"Big brother, can't you see people? I waited in the restaurant for an hour in the afternoon, but I didn't wait for you. "

Ning Yanting frowned: "I am busy with business in the afternoon, didn't I say it to him?"

Yes, I did!

But once upon a time, he sent someone over. Even if Ning Yanting couldn't come from his family, he would let the boy bring the money for the wine. Therefore, every time he sent the boy, he kept a good record of the amount of wine money.

But today is not the same, today not only people did not come, his boy also came back empty handed, half a liang of money did not come back.

Also with a word, said what inconvenient, let him pay for the wine first!

Ning Yanhai waited in the restaurant, but he couldn't wait for Ning Yanting to come over. However, he said that he would treat him, so he had to take out his private house and pay for the wine. You know, because he thought it was Ning Yanting who came to pay for the food, he was not stingy when he ordered. He called up all kinds of good wine and dishes, and finally took out a huge sum of money.

He didn't want Ning Yanting to have a wife who would make money. On weekdays, he only had a share of Gongzhong's salary and his own salary. His wife was haggard and reluctant to give him pocket money. He saved that private house for a long time. Now he spent it all at once, not to mention his pain.

Ning Yan Hai Qi rushed out: "I don't have any money in my pocket. Even if you don't come, I'll let the boy come here with the money for wine. Because of you, I'm ridiculed by my friends today, and I'm losing my hair!"

Ning Yanting felt guilty.

"It's my fault. It's just that when I went out today, I didn't bring any silver with me, so I couldn't pay for you."

Ning Yan sea Eye Bead son a turn, seem to have been pacified, on the face also is not originally so angry.

"In that case, I will not pursue it." He said, "I paid for the wine first, but the silver was used to buy Mr. Soseki's painting. Now the silver is gone. I'm afraid it's also..."

He hesitated to stop and looked at ningyanting hesitantly.

Ning Yanting felt guilty in his heart. His eyes touched the prayer in his brother's eyes. He nodded immediately and said, "I'll buy it for you. Tomorrow I'll send someone to buy it for you."

Ning Yanhai was satisfied.

He said, "no more trouble for the elder brother. My younger brother can't wait to see Mr. Soseki's paintings. Why don't you give me the money? I'll buy it myself. It saves me time and effort, as well as a trip."

Ningyanting again and again nodded: "OK, do according to what you say."

When he said that, he wanted to pay for it, but he put his hand into his sleeve and felt it empty. Then he remembered that he was penniless. Let alone Mr. Soseki's paintings, he could not afford to buy even a piece of paper.

Ning Yanting felt embarrassed.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "wait till tomorrow I'll send the money in the morning. "

Ningyanhai frowned, but did not say anything, only told him to remember, this just left.

As soon as he left, Ning Yanting did not dare to delay, so he went to find Ning mother in a hurry.

When he said his appeal, Ning's mother picked Suan Zhu, which collided with the abacus frame and made a bang.

She did not lift her eyes, directly refused: "no to."

Ning Fu is a fool at the moment.
