Chapter 9

Ningyanting all came to him, Ning mother took out the account book, abacus return to zero, give him a good calculation.

"Your salary and monthly regulations were handed out to you at the beginning of the month. Because you still have social intercourse, I will give you another 80 Liang silver every month. Ordinary people can live for many years. Although the price in the capital is high, 80 Liang is more than enough. Even if you buy something for a Nuan and lang'er occasionally, it is enough." Speaking of this, Ning mother raised her eyelids and glanced at him. She seemed to sneer carelessly. Her voice was very light, but she still let Ning Yanting hear it.

Ning Yanting is a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, listen to Ning's mother: "you seldom buy things for a'nuan and lang'er. But it doesn't matter. It was meant to be for you. What's missing from a Nuan and lang'er, I'll make up for them. "

Ningyanting more and more uncomfortable, he moved his eyes, embarrassed way: "I will remember later."

Ning mother said coolly: "if you remember, it would be better."

Ning Yanting:

Ning mother continued to dial the abacus: "but the eighty Liang silver is not enough for you to spend."

"No way." Ning Yanting subconsciously retorted: "that's eighty Liang silver!"

"At the beginning of this month, I already gave you eighty taels of silver. After that, you asked me for it again, saying that the silver was spent. I was afraid that you were not enough, so I gave you another hundred taels." Ning mother's abacus dial here, stopped, looked up and asked: "now is the seventh day of junior high school, you these hundred Liang also spent?"

Ning Yanting:

He wanted to shake his head to deny that he could not have spent so much money, but one and Ning mother's line of sight, touched his pocket again, and suddenly lost his voice.

If he didn't spend all his money, where did he go?

Ning Yanting recalled it carefully. Then he said, "at the beginning of the month, the second younger brother went to have a drink and bought a vase from the previous dynasty. The third brother took a fancy to several ancient fans, and then..."

Ning mother said coolly: "you stay in the whole government office, you can also touch them?"

"The second brother and the third brother forgot to bring money when they went out. They sent a boy to look for me. I put them on the mat first."

"There is a lot of distance between your government office and the market. It's better to go home directly than to send a servant to find you. It's better to come home directly, or Ningfu is closer." Ning's mother said, "you should remind them well in the future, why not give up the near and seek the far, right?"

Ning Yanting carefully thought about it and said it was very reasonable. He deeply thought that he was going to say: "I will remind them this next time."

Ning's mother bowed her head and scoffed at the corners of her mouth. She said, "since the second brother and the third brother don't come to you for money, your expenses are not big. I usually give you eighty Liang in January. Now it's the seventh day of junior high school. I'll give you forty taels

Ning Yanting frowned: "forty liang?"

"What? Not enough? "

"This The third brother wants to buy Mr. Soseki's paintings. I'm afraid that forty Liang is not enough. "

Ning's mother pretended to be surprised: "he wants to buy Mr. Soseki's paintings. Why did he come to look for you?"

Ning Yanting told him what happened today.

The expression on Ning mother's face is more surprised: "you can't give silver, he goes back to Ning house to take good, you said with his boy, this still can blame you up?"

"If it wasn't for me, my third brother would not be ridiculed by my friends." Ning Yan Pavilion apologetic: "his silver has been used to pay for the wine, there is no more money to buy Mr. Soseki's paintings."

"Pa" to a sound, Ning mother will abacus zero, she closed the account book, sneer: "since he has money to pay for wine, then why to come to you?"

Ning Yanting was stunned.

He has always been responsive to his brothers' words, which has become a habit. Whenever two younger brothers open their mouths, they immediately promise to come down and will not think about it. Now Ning's mother suddenly asks, but he doesn't know how to answer.

Yes, if you have money, why do you come to him?

But after years of trust in his younger brother, Ning Yanting did not think much about it, and said to Ning's mother in a good voice: "but I have promised the third younger brother that a gentleman can't trace a word. If you say this, you can give me money and let me buy Mr. Soseki's paintings for him."

"And after that?"

"What?"

"In the future, if they come to ask you for the paintings of this gentleman, will you agree to all the books?"

What they want is a tunnel for Yanting

Ning's mother said coldly, "since they want it, why don't they pay for it by themselves? They have to ask you to take the money? Your salary and monthly regulations are all given to them. They are yours. I won't say anything about it. But I won't give you any more than eighty Liang. You are willing to let them take advantage of it and let them take it, but they don't want to think about my pocket. "

"You How did you become so unreasonable? " Ningyanting frowned deeply: "you were not like this before."

"I used to be a bully, and I'll never be so stupid again." Ning mother lowered her head again, picked up another account book, continued to look up: "either take 40 Liang, or do not take a cent, you see to do it."Ning Yanting's face was gloomy: "what's the use of keeping these silver?"

"Why not?" Ning's mother raised her head and looked at him with a smile. "Ah Nuan's reputation is bad. I don't prepare more dowries for her. What should I do if she is looked down upon by others?"

Ning Yanting choked.

His wife moved his daughter out, but he had nothing to say.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he felt that it was to take his daughter's dowry again, so he couldn't face it again.

After standing there for a long time, he said, "give me forty Liang..."

Ning mother looked at him with a smile, then opened the drawer, counted out forty liang of silver from it, wrapped it with a piece of handkerchief and handed it to him. As soon as Ning Yanting took over, she said in a meaningful way: "be careful with it. You can only have these forty Liang this month."

Ning Yanting ran away.

He escaped from the door, and before he took a few steps, he met Ning Nuan, who came to look for Ning's mother.

Ning warm asked a good, eyes light a mistake, fell on his hand, suddenly dejected way: "daddy wants to buy things for the second uncle."

Ningyanting breathes a stagnation, almost can't live his expression.

He put the silver in his arms in a hurry, and his eyes touched the loss on his daughter's face. He remembered what his wife had just said that he had never bought things for a pair of children. Suddenly, his heart softened. Before waiting for him to think carefully, he blurted out: "Dad Dad will buy it for you

"Really?" Ning Nuan raised his head in surprise, and his eyes were full of joy and expectation.

On her line of sight, Ning Yanting suddenly forgot the others and nodded hastily: "naturally, what Dad said, when did not count?"

Ning warm is more happy, she thought for a while, then said: "that Daddy, can you buy me a pillow Mr. Liu's book?"

"Just books?"

Ning warm opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before she opened her mouth, she thought of something and shook her head hesitantly: "as long as this is enough."

Ning Yanting's heart is softer.

He looked up and noticed that his daughter was wearing only a white jade hairpin today. The black hair was pulled up by the white jade hairpin. Although it was beautiful, it was very simple. He recalled the exquisite jewelry on the heads of his two nieces, and said softly, "Dad, you look very simple in your daily dress. It's better to buy you another set of jewelry than your two sisters love to dress up?"

"Is it too hard for Dad?" Ning warm hesitated: "the house has new jewelry sent every month, don't bother dad."

Ning Yanting, however, has made up her mind, and despite Ning Nuan's repeated dissuasion, she still insists on buying jewelry for her.

Until he said goodbye to his daughter, he turned a corner with a bag of silver, and his smile was solidified in the corner of his mouth.

It's broken.

Not to mention that my younger brother wanted more than forty liang of paintings. Buying jewelry for A'nan, of course, could not be too bad. It was compared by the Phoenix butterfly and golden hairpin, but Why did he get so much money?

Ning Yanting looked down at the silver in his arms, and then thought of his daughter's expectant eyes. Suddenly, his feet were soft, and he quickly supported the pillar beside him.

It's only the seventh day of the seventh day of the new year

Well, how can I have the seventh day today?

As soon as Ning Nuan entered the room, he could not wait to tell his mother the good news: "Dad said that he would buy me jewelry."

Ning mother shook her head: "where does he have so much money?"

"What Dad said will always come true." Rather warm smile sits down beside her: "see father is to aggrieve me, still want to aggrieve second uncle them?"

She said, and thought: "mother, do you want to put away all the valuable things in dad's room?"

"It's all put away. What is he going to pawn?" Ning's mother said, "when he's all pawned, there's nothing to be done. When the time comes, Ning's family won't give any good looks. Don't be too anxious. Just wait. I'll take the things in his house and he'll complain about me later."

Ning Nuan nodded and said, "I don't know when Dad will wake up. If the second uncle is really good to him, he won't want to pick money from his hands all day long."

Ning mother sighed and said, "before this, you have to be wronged. You have been slandered by Ning Qingning Ningxin. My mother knows that, but now I can only let you bear such a reputation. "

"Then wait a little longer." Ning Nuan smile: "if the reputation gets better, I'm afraid they will treat me as a thorn in the eye. I want to stay with my mother for several years. If I get married, my mother is the only one in my family. After that, my second aunt will come back to find trouble with my mother. What should I do?"

Ning's mother was moved, but she didn't think so.

She said in her heart: when you find a good family, of course, you should first make a decision on your marriage and marry you out as soon as possible.

If you don't make a decision earlier, her ah Nuan is so good in color, and she is taken in by the king an again, what can we do? At that time, even if she has the ability to communicate with heaven, she can't let the emperor take back the will. But if a Nuan already had a engagement, even if he was not stingy, he would not be able to rob him.……

Ning Yanting only got 40 Liang silver, which was not enough to buy Mr. Soseki's paintings. When he went back, he turned the room over and over, but he couldn't find any extra money.

In the early morning, he promised his brother that he would send the money to him the next day, but in the morning of the next day, he still didn't get enough money.

Ning Yanting was flustered. He felt that he couldn't meet Ning Yanhai's requirements. He didn't dare to receive questions from Ning Yanhai. The next morning, when his genius was just a little bright, he went out directly. When he left, his back was more like fleeing, for fear that he would be caught.

Ning Yanhai left and right wait, how can't wait for him to send money to come over, this just can't help looking for him in person, who knows but pounced on a empty, immediately angry.

But after the early Dynasty, to the government, Ning Yan Ting is still worried.

Not only the younger brother, but also the daughter's jewelry.

Although he escaped in the morning, he still had to go home in the evening.

If the younger brother asks, he still can't bring enough money, but if his daughter asks, he still can't bring jewelry.

The thought of receiving disappointment from his daughter and brother made him feel anxious.

Until noon, Ning house sent over lunch, he also can't eat, for money matters worry. As he was eating, he suddenly heard his colleagues chatting, as if he had mentioned the pawnshop.

Pawnshop?

Yes! He can go to the pawnshop!

Ning Yanting's eyes brightened. After lunch, he immediately took off his jade pendant and sent someone to the pawnshop to exchange money.

Before going home, he went to the jewelry store. I bought the best set of jewelry in a big way, then I went to buy the books and paintings my daughter and brother wanted, and finally I went home. First, I went to my daughter's house to send jewelry. As expected, my daughter was very surprised and grateful.

After the surprise, Ning Nuan immediately worried: "this must be very expensive, right? Dad, do you have enough money to spend? "

Ning Yanting lovingly said: "enough, of course enough, ah nuanjiao, how can my father make you worry about this? It was my father's negligence before, but now it makes you worry. Don't worry, my father will buy things for you from time to time in the future."

Rather warm nature is happy unceasingly, hastily thanks with him.

Get daughter a basket of thanks, Ning Yanting this just hold the words of Mr. Soseki to find Ning Yanhai.

Ningyanhai did not have a good face all day, and his face was even worse when he appeared.

He said in a strange way: "it turns out that the elder brother still remembers me. I waited for a long time today, but I didn't wait for the elder brother to send me the silver. I thought he forgot me."

"No way." Ning Yanting warmly unfolded the painting scroll in his hand: "third brother, you see what I bought for you. I was in a hurry to go out in the morning, and I forgot about it all of a sudden. I didn't think that you had been waiting for a day, so I went to buy it for you and saved you a trip in vain. "

Seeing that painting, Ning Yanhai's face was even worse.

What he wants is really a painting by Mr. Soseki. It's just a private library where Ning Yanting can make up for himself!

But now it's all right. The painting is finished, but the silver is flying!

At the thought that he would go to see him and sell the painting to cash, there were so many troubles in the process. Instead, it would be more convenient to receive money directly. Ning Yanhai looks even worse.

In a bad mood, he did not give ningyanting any good face, calm face to close the painting, then found a head to drive Ning Yanting out.

Ningyanting hot face stick a cold buttocks, mood is not good.

If it is normal, ningyanhai to his attitude, he certainly will not feel what. But before he came, he went to see Ning Nuan first. His daughter's excitement and happiness were still in front of him. The voice of gratitude made him feel very comfortable in his heart. This painting of Mr. Soseki is more expensive than a set of jewelry of ah Nuan, but his younger brother did not even say a word of thanks.

Among them, the differential treatment is too big, which makes Ning Yanting feel very uncomfortable.

As soon as he came back to the yard, he saw Ning Lang galloping and stood in front of him in surprise and called out, "Dad!"

"What?" Ningyanting did not respond to the way.

Ning Lang didn't care and went on: "I heard you bought jewelry for ah'nan!"

"Yes."

"Dad, I've taken a fancy to something recently. Can you buy it for me?"

As soon as Ning Yanting's face sank, he immediately thought of the younger brother who gave him a bad look.

As soon as he looked up, he saw his son's face full of expectation. His reply was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

He thought to himself: a'nuan and lang'er never ask for him on weekdays. Once they have any needs, they always say something to pray for, and their attitude is even more attentive. But what about his two younger brothers? As if he had always been reasonable, as if it was natural for him to buy things for them.

He thought again of his wife's words.

Yes, why do the two brothers always ask him to give money?

"Dad, Dad." Ning Lang called him: "you haven't said it yet. Do you agree or not?"Ningyanting returned to God and looked at the eagerness in his eyes, and his heart softened again: "what do you want?"

Ning Lang eyes a bright, immediately reported to him several things. Although there are many, they are not expensive gadgets.

It's not the same as my brother!

Ningyanting a mouthful should come down, habitually to the sleeve a pull out.

He took out three Wen.

Ning Yanting:
