Chapter 2222

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

Xiao's face is distressed: "black, also thin." Even if the food is delicious and delicious for more than half a month, the two brothers haven't recovered their appearance before leaving Beijing.

"This proves that they are really suffering," Ninghai said If he comes back, he will be punished.

On this day, the whole family gathered for dinner.

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

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

"Grandpa, I want to buy some silk jewelry for my elder sister. The silk, satin and jewelry on the other side of Tongcheng are not only expensive, but also ugly. " Ningyuanhang didn't say that he didn't pay attention. But when he said that, he was firm. These silk and satin jewelry must be bought in the capital. If his father doesn't give him money, he will buy them himself.

Ninghai heard the meaning of his words and asked, "how much is it?" In the right way, he will give.

After thinking about it, Zhuang said, "five thousand Liang!"

Ninghai is rich and Fang Hui's industry is worth more than 300000 Liang. Zhuang Ge'er's income is also good industry, and the annual rent alone is more than 5000 Liang. With five thousand liang of silver, Ninghai will buy some dowry for Niuniu. Naturally, Ninghai is not against

"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. After buying the industry, there will be interest every year, which is the real benefit.

"Grandfather, what do you suggest?"

Ninghai said, "Liu Gen is all from Shengjing, so I will buy two shops in Shengjing to make nuniu a dowry." It's cheaper to send a shop than jewelry, silk and satin.

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

Brother Zhuang looks at Ninghai. The idea is very good, but he can't do it!

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

Zhuang Ge'er is very happy: "Grandpa, jewelry and satin are still to be bought."

Ning Hai said with a smile, "let your grandmother and aunt take care of these things."

The wife and daughter-in-law have a lot of jewelry. Take out two sets of make-up for Niuniu, it's very decent. As for silk and satin, we have opened a silk and satin shop, which needs buying.

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

Ninghai jokingly said: "it's a custom to take advantage of anything. Girls should add makeup when they marry their elders. Those things are your grandmother and aunt's makeup for Niu Niu. "

"Then I have to take the place of elder sister. Thank you grandma and aunt very much."

Zeng Chenfu was not a mean person either. The next day she was ordered by Ninghai, she went to the shop and picked five red ones, embroidered with jade hall rich or pomegranate and other meaningful silks. Then I picked a red satin from my warehouse.

I'd rather sail in and see the materials on the table. Needless to ask, he knew that these were for Niu Niu: "Niang, you picked these satins to celebrate."

"It's natural to use red for marriage. Can you use pink? " A very fastidious family, the bride will wear new clothes every day of the first month of marriage. Moreover, all the clothes must be made of red materials.

Ning Yuanhang smiled, and then said: "Niang, the elder sister in the lobby is very good. It's just that she can't do anything with a servant girl. "

Put down the color line, Zeng Chenfu asked, "what's the matter?" If it's said that Niu Niu can't do Tang's job, she won't ask more. It's not right to be a servant girl.

After talking about their first visit to Ning's mansion, Ning Yuanhang said angrily, "it's nothing to do with me that my uncle dotes on that woman, but he asked me and my brother to eat in that woman's yard, which is too much. What does he think of me and big brother? " This is clearly to belittle him and elder brother, and elevate Tang.

Zeng Chenfu was speechless for a long time, and said, "your uncle is raised by his aunt. He doesn't think there is any legitimate division in his eyes. Hang'er, don't tell your grandparents about it. They will be very angry if they know it. "

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

In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan said this: "big brother looks like this, and then the strong brother will definitely accept the grievance."

Ning Zhan also couldn't help frowning: "that Tang Shi, at the beginning looked very good." But did not expect, unexpectedly allows nearby servant girl to bully Di eldest daughter..

"Don't you see what happened then? Ning family was willing to marry her at that time to help her out of the fire pit. But now there are children and women, and the eldest brother likes her, so naturally, this heart will grow. " These, completely in their own anticipation. Once the woman has children, she plans for them. We can't say wrong, we can only take different positions.

Ning Zhan didn't want to comment on Fang Hui's family affairs: "in the future, we will do more according to Buddha Zhuang." As for Niu Niu, there's nothing to worry about since she's about to get married.

Zeng Chenfu nodded her head, and then said, "it was a wise decision that my father transferred half of the real estate to ah Zhuang. With this industry, even if the big houses are not divided, they can help ah Zhuang talk about a good family later. " As far as the present situation is concerned, it's up to Zhuang brother-in-law to see her later and even to deal with marriage affairs.

Ning Zhan sighed: "at that time, I thought my father was too worried. Now I'm glad to have made such an arrangement. If not, there must be endless anger. " Even if Fang Hui later gave birth to a few children, Zhuang Ge'er would not be too aggrieved.

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: "so, in the future, when you meet something, you have to consult with your father more. Dad's experience is more abundant, and he can see the problem more thoroughly. "

Ning Zhan nodded his head.

A month later, things were sent to Tongcheng.

Hearing that something was for the girl, Tang asked, "what did the lady of the aristocratic son send?"

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

Send something here, as Mr. Tang expected. But it was beyond her accident to raise Mammy.

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

Zeng Chenfu sent this educated mother, surnamed Xie, who looks older because of the deep wrinkles on her face. This man, too, looks serious.

When she saw Tang, Mammy Xie just nodded a little and didn't salute. People like them have the most rules.

Tang smiled and said, "this time, it's going to be hard for Mammy." Since we are raising mothers, we must have been teaching them to go back for a while.

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

Shicui said angrily after mother Xie left: "it's already separated. The aristocratic son's wife even cares about our big house. It's too long."

Tang's face was a little ugly: "Shizi's wife is not very warm-hearted. I'm afraid it's the eldest young master who begged her!" If Zeng Chenfu really cared about the big girl, she would not wait until today to send her mother.

Shicui's face brightened and said, "it's not a good thing for us to be so close to the people in the Hou's mansion."

Tang doesn't know that. Some time ago, I saw that Zhuang Ge'er was only close to Ning Yuanhang. He had no brotherhood with his brother: "I told you about it, but I can't be the master of it."

"Still think of a way to let the eldest young master come back."

Easier said than done. As long as the Marquis is still alive, her husband will not be able to intervene in Zhuang brother's affairs.

When Niu Niu saw these silks, she was overjoyed: "don't blame Zhuang Ge'er for saying that the silks in the capital are good!" The cloth shop here can't buy such good materials with money.

Ma's eyes are sour. Before the separation, Niu Niu used the best things. After the separation, the food and clothing consumption was poor for several times.

Niuniu took out the satin and asked with some wonder, "this material feels smooth and smooth, but how can it be without pattern?"

"Flower mother jokingly said:" girl, this material must be used for your wedding dress Since they are embroidered, there will be no pattern.

Since she was a child, Niu Niu has been doing needlework by Ma Ma's side. Even if I went to school later, my needlework fell. Over the years, Niu Niu's needlework is very good.

Niuniu thinks it's reasonable, and then she says to Ma: "Mom, I told you that you misunderstood grandma and aunt two. You see, the second aunt knew that I was engaged, so she sent me such good materials to make the wedding dress. On the contrary, it's the horse family. They want money as well as money. " Two phase contrast, who good who bad at a glance.

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, "Mom, it's my grandfather's idea. Moreover, it is useless for a cow not to drink water and press hard. If my father didn't want to marry Er Fang, he would not marry if my grandfather asked him to. " These words were all told to her by mother Hua who broke them and crumpled them. Fortunately, Niu Niu listened to it.

Don't wait for Ma Ma to speak. Mammy Xie is here.

Niuniu looked at mammy Xie suspiciously and asked, "Auntie said you want to teach me? What do you teach? "

Before she came, Zeng Chenfu told her about Niu Niu. So she wasn't too surprised at Niuniu's question.

Mammy Xie said lightly, "I mainly teach you etiquette and take care of your daily diet."

"I don't need to learn."

Looking at Niuniu, Mammy Xie said: "big girl, forgive me for being frank. You are not like a government girl, but like a village girl in the country. You can be a girl at home without going out. But after you get married, don't you go out for social intercourse? Just like you are now, you have to be laughed at when you go out. "

Without waiting for Niu Niu to open her mouth, Ma Ma hurriedly said, "study, we study, and ask mammy you can teach her seriously." She didn't learn the rules from her mother-in-law seriously when she entered the door, which led to great losses later. She couldn't let her daughter repeat her mistakes.
