The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2227

[Chapter 2227 Tie Kui Fanwai (151)]

In mid-May, Mrs. Xiao and Ning Hai returned to Beijing. Ning Hai was very happy to see the two grandchildren.

Xiao Shi had a distressed expression on his face: “It’s dark, and I’ve lost weight.” Even though the food has been delicious for more than half a month, the two brothers have not recovered to the way they were before leaving Beijing.

Ning Hai said: “This proves that the two of them have really endured hardship.” If Bai Bai returned, he would have to punish him instead.

Today, the whole family gathers for dinner.

After dinner, Brother Zhuang said one thing to Ning Hai: “Grandfather, eldest sister is engaged.”

Ning Hai knew about this, nodded and said, “Your father wrote to me and said that the wedding date is set for December next year.”

“Grandfather, I want to buy some satin jewelry for the eldest sister. The satin and jewelry in Tongcheng are not only expensive, but also ugly.” Ning Yuanhang didn’t say anything, he really didn’t pay attention. But with that said, he firmed his mind. Satin jewelry must be bought in the capital. If his father does not give money, he will buy it himself.

Ning Hai heard the meaning of his words and asked, “How much does it cost?” If it is used on the right path, he will naturally give it.

After thinking about it, Brother Zhuang said, “Five thousand taels!”

The wealth of Ninghai and Fang Hui’s share of the industry is worth more than 300,000 taels. Brother Zhuang is still in good-yielding properties, and the annual rent alone is more than 5,000 taels. Ning Hai naturally does not object to buying 5,000 taels of silver to buy some dowry for Niu Niu

“Instead of buying those flashy things, it’s better to buy some properties.” Jewelry is also for people to see, not to eat or wear. Buying a property earns interest every year, which is a real benefit.

“Grandfather, what advice do you have?”

Ning Hai said: “Liu Genquan is from Shengjing, so buy two shops in Shengjing as a dowry for Niuniu.” Sending a shop is more affordable than sending jewelry and satin.

When the fallen leaves return to their roots, Liu Genquan will return to Shengjing sooner or later. Buying a property there is the most comprehensive.

Brother Zhuang looked at Ning Hai eagerly. It’s a good idea, but he can’t do it!

Ning Hai laughed and said, “I will send someone to Shengjing to have a look, and I will buy some when I find a suitable shop or property.”

Brother Zhuang was very happy: “Grandfather, we still need to buy some jewelry and satin.”

Ning Hai smiled and said, “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 add makeup to Niuniu, it is very decent. As for silk and satin, they have opened a silk and satin shop at home, so why do they need to buy them.

Brother Zhuang felt that he was taking advantage of Xiao and Zeng Chenfu.

Ning Hai laughed and said, “What is taking advantage of it, it’s a custom. When a girl gets married, her elders have to put on makeup. Those things are the makeup that your grandmother and aunt gave Niuniu.”

Brother Zhuang said with a smile: “Then I have to thank my grandmother and aunt for the eldest sister.”

Zeng Chenfu was not a stingy person either. After receiving Ning Hai’s order, she went to the shop the next day to pick five red ones, embroidered with embroidered silk and satin with rich meanings such as jade hall or pomegranate. Then he picked a red satin from his warehouse.

When Ning Yuanhang entered the room, he saw the ingredients placed on the table. No need to ask, he knew that these were for Niuniu: “Mother, these satins you picked are really festive.”

“It’s natural to use red when getting married. Is it possible to use pink?” People who are very particular, the bride will wear new clothes every day of the first month of marriage. And these clothes must be made of red material.

Ning Yuanhang smiled, and then said, “Mother, the lady in the lobby is very nice. It’s just that she doesn’t have any scheming, and she can’t do it even as a maid.”

Putting down the colored thread in her hand, Zeng Chenfu asked, “What’s going on?” If Niu Niu couldn’t handle the Tang family, she wouldn’t ask more. But it’s not right to be a servant girl.

After talking about their first day at Ning Mansion, Ning Yuanhang said angrily, “It has nothing to do with me, my uncle pampering that woman, but he asked me and my eldest brother to go to the woman’s yard for dinner. It’s too much. What does he think of my big brother and me?” This is obviously to demean him and big brother and elevate the Tang family.

Zeng Chenfu was speechless for a while, and after a long time said: “Your uncle was raised by his aunt, and in his eyes there is no distinction between direct and concubines. Hang’er, don’t tell your grandfather and grandmother about this. They know it, they will definitely very angry.”

“I know.” He knew what to say and what not to say.

In the evening, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan talked about it: “Brother Zhuang will definitely be wronged in the future if he looks like this.”

Ning Zhan couldn’t help frowning, “Sister Tang, you looked good at first.” Unexpectedly, she would allow the maid next to her to bully her eldest daughter. .

“Don’t you look at what was going on at the time? The Ning family wanted to marry her at that time to help her get out of the fire pit. But now that she has a son and a daughter, and the eldest brother likes her, his heart is naturally bigger.” These are entirely up to him. expected. Once this woman has children, she will plan for her children. It can’t be wrong, it’s just a different position.

Ning Zhan didn’t want to make more comments on Fang Hui’s family affairs: “In the future, we will take more care of the Buddha.” As for Niuniu, she was about to get married anyway, so there was nothing to worry about.

Zeng Chenfu nodded and said, “It was a wise decision when my father transferred half of the property of the big house to A Zhuang’s name. With this property in place, even if there is no distinction between the concubines and the concubines of the big house I can help Zhuang talk about a good relationship.” Judging from the current situation, Zhuang’s daughter-in-law and even the marriage arrangements will have to fall on her in the future.

Ning Zhan sighed a little: “At the time, I thought Dad was too worried, but now that I think about it, I am fortunate to have made such an arrangement. Otherwise, I would definitely be angry.” A few children, strong brother will not be too wronged.

Zeng Chenfu said with a smile: “So, in the future, you still have to discuss things with your father more. You have more experience and more thorough understanding of problems.”

Ning Zhan nodded.

A month later, things were delivered to Tongcheng.

Hearing that the item was for the eldest girl, Mrs Tang asked, “What did Mrs. Shizi send?”

The housekeeper said: “The person who came said it was silk. By the way, I also sent a nurtured nanny.”

Bringing things over, this was expected by Mr. Tang. But nurturing the mammy was beyond her accident.

After thinking for a while, Mrs Tang said, “Call someone in!”

The nurtured nanny sent by Zeng Chenfu was surnamed Xie. She looked older because she also had deep wrinkles on her face. This man looks serious too.

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

Mrs. Tang said with a smile, “This time, you will have to work hard.” Since she is raising her, she must have taught her for a while before returning.

Mother Xie didn’t say much, she just asked, “Second grandma, do you know where the eldest girl is?” Zeng Chenfu just asked her to teach Niuniu well, and other things had nothing to do with her.

After Shi Cui waited for Mother Xie to leave, she said a little indignantly: “The family has already been separated, and Mrs. Shizi is still in charge of our big room. This hand is too long.”

Mrs. Tang’s expression was a little unsightly: “Mrs. Shizi is not a very enthusiastic person, I’m afraid that this is the eldest young master who begged her!” If Zeng Chenfu really cared about the eldest girl, she would not have waited until today to send the nanny. .

Shi Cui’s face froze, and she said, “Second grandmother, it’s not a good thing for us that the eldest young master is so close to the people of the Hou residence.”

Why didn’t Mr. Tang know this. Some time ago, I saw that Brother Zhuang was only close to Ning Yuanhang, and he had no brotherhood at all with his brother: “I told the uncle about this, but the uncle can’t control this matter.”

“I still think of a way to get the eldest young master back.”

Easier said than done. As long as Lord Hou is still alive, don’t talk about Zhuang brother’s affairs, even her husband can’t get involved.

When Niu Niu saw these satins, she was overjoyed: “No wonder brother Zhuang said that the silks and satins in the capital are good!” In the cloth shop here, even money can’t buy such good materials.

Ma Shi’s eyes were a little sour. Before the family split, Niuniu used all the best things. But after the family was separated, the food and clothing expenses were quite different.

Niu Niu took out the tribute satin and asked in a puzzled way, “This material feels smooth and smooth, but why is there no pattern?”

Mother Hua said with a smile: “Girl, this material must be used for your wedding dress.” Since it is an embroidered wedding dress, naturally there will be no patterns.

Since she was a child, Niuniu has been kept by Ma Shi to do needlework. Even after studying, needlework has not fallen. After so many years, Niuniu’s needlework is very good.

Niuniu thought it was reasonable, and then said to Ma’s family: “Mother, I told you earlier that you misunderstood your grandmother and the second aunt. You see, the second aunt knew that I was engaged, so she gave me such a good material to make a wedding dress. On the contrary, it is the Ma family, who wants money in addition to money.” Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance who is better and who is worse.

Touching the smooth satin, Ma said, “If it wasn’t for her, how could your father marry that vixen?” This was the deepest pain in Ma’s heart.

Niuniu said: “Mother, this is my grandfather’s idea. Besides, it is useless to press the cow without drinking water. If Dad doesn’t want to marry the second wife, he will not marry if grandfather asks him to marry.” I broke it apart and smashed it to tell her. Fortunately, Niu Niu listened.

Without waiting for Mrs. Ma to speak, Mother Xie arrived.

Niuniu looked at Mammy Xie suspiciously, and asked, “My aunt told you to teach me? What?”

Before coming, Zeng Chenfu told her about Niuniu. So she was not too surprised by Niuniu’s questioning.

Madam Xie said lightly: “The main thing is to teach you manners and etiquette, and take care of your daily life and food.”

“I don’t need to learn.”

Looking at Niuniu, Mammy Xie said: “Miss, with all due respect, you are not like an official girl, but like a village girl in the countryside. When you are a girl at home, you don’t have to go out. But after you get married, don’t you? Don’t go out to socialize? As you are now, you will be laughed at when you go out to socialize.”

Without waiting for Niuniu to speak, Ma hurriedly said: “Learn, we will learn, and please, mammy, you can teach her seriously.” Back then, she didn’t seriously learn the rules from her mother-in-law after entering the door, which resulted in a big loss later, she couldn’t Let my daughter repeat her mistakes.
