Ninghai Extra Story (44)
After Yunqing ascended the throne, he began to award the meritorious ministers who followed him to conquer the world. Tie Kui was named Uncle Anyang. Although this title is not hereditary, the earl's award still caused some people to be dissatisfied.
Tie Kui felt that this reward was too high, so he turned to Yu Xi and said, "Empress Empress, I shouldn't be made an earl because of my merits." And he was still a first-class earl.
Yuxi said: "Uncle, the city defense map you sent back then allowed the emperor to take the entire Jiangnan in advance, avoiding heavy casualties. This time you opened the city gate, so that the emperor won the capital without a single soldier. Not to mention, these You did so many things for us in secret in 2010. Uncle, you deserve this title." It is hard to say what you did for them in secret. However, Yuxi and Yunqing knew clearly.
Tie Kui said: "Empress, can't people criticize you because of me?" Opinion.
Yu Xi didn't care, and said: "You don't have to care what those people say." No matter what you do, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Especially for rewards, which are related to their own interests, but as long as most people think it is fair, a very small number of people jump out and yell that Yuxi does not respond.
Seeing this, Tie Kui said respectfully, "Yes."
Knowing this, Yun Qing said with a smile: "There are so many people, uncle is the first one who thinks that his title is too high."
Yu Xi said: "He would rather suffer losses than himself, and he doesn't want me to be criticized."
After the award, the plaque of Tiefu was changed to Anyangbofu. And Tie Kui officially changed his original name back to Ning Hai.
Xiao said: "My lord, the British princes and the others have set up a banquet, shouldn't we also set up a banquet to invite relatives and friends to have fun?"
Ning Hai shook his head and said, "Some people are dissatisfied with my title. Don't put on the banquet, it's better to keep a low profile."
In fact, even the Xiao family did not expect that Ning Hai could be made an earl. After receiving the imperial decree, she was so happy that she didn't know where to put it.
Xiao thought for a while and said, "It's better to set up a few tables and invite relatives and friends to have a meal." The close relatives still have to be invited, after all, it is a great event.
"You can figure it out!"
Since Ning Hai changed his surname, the children naturally had to change their surnames too. But Fang Jia was unwilling to change her surname to Ning.
Ning Hai looked at Fang Jia and said, "Are you sure your surname is Tie, not Ning?"
Fang Jia has been locked up all this time.
I was also afraid of being locked up. But facing Ning Hai, he couldn't suppress his anger: "Yes, my surname is Tie. Anyway, the Ning family has Ning Zhan, so my surname Tie and Ning don't matter to you."
Ning Hai took a deep look at Fang Jia: "No regrets?"
Fang Jia said bitterly: "I don't regret it. Not only is my surname not Ning, but my eldest brother also doesn't want to change his surname."
Fang Hui didn't make a sound after hearing this. No objection, that is, the default.
Ning Hai didn't have much patience with Fang Jia, and when he saw that he admitted his mistake, he was released. But Fang Hui had high hopes for him: "Hui'er, are you sure you won't change your surname? If you don't want to be named Ning, you can't go to the Ning family tree."
Fang Hui said: "Father, I'm used to my current name and I don't want to change it. But for my children, I want their surname Hui Ning." In fact, this means in disguise that he wants to enter the Ning family's family tree. It's just that to the outside world, it's still called Tie Fanghui.
Although he wanted to rely on his own ability to gain a better future, he also knew that leaning against a big tree would allow him to enjoy the shade. Not only is he his descendant in the future, but with the backing of Uncle Anyang's mansion, he can still get a lot of convenience.
Fang Jia glared at Fang Hui, then said, "My descendants are also named Tie, not Ning."
When I heard this, I was just angry. However, Ning Hai really followed his wishes.
The Ning family has been exterminated for more than 30 years, and they have no relatives or friends. And Ning Hai has just come here, and has no contact with the heroes in the court. So those who came to eat were basically relatives of the Xiao family.
In the evening, Mrs. Xiao said to Ning Hai: "Master, my second sister-in-law told me today that she wants to tell her brother's second son Guangyue what she wants." Mrs. Xiao has a good relationship with her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Mao. The situation is also understood.
Ning Hai said: "Ruyi is still young, we can take time to see each other about her marriage and her worries." He has to personally check on his children's marriage.
Xiao said: "Master, I have met that child several times. Not only is he good-looking and good-natured, but he is also very talented and academic. If the scientific examination is resumed next year, he will definitely pass the test." The Mao family is also very good. The younger sister-in-law is also very temperamental towards her.
"There are so many great talents with outstanding literary talents, but they didn't even pass the Jinshi exam. Being talented doesn't mean that you have a good future." What's more, this kid from the Mao family is not even a scholar.
Xiao said: "Ruyi is at this age, if you don't see each other for two years, it will be too late."
Ning Hai smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Girls in the Northwest don't get married until they reach Jiji, and they don't get married until they are seventeen or eighteen years old. There is still a period of time for Ruyi to be away from Jiji, so why worry? Temperament, don't worry about not finding a good family." Anyway, he wanted to find someone who was sure of a good future. It's not that the Mao family doesn't know anything about the future.
Xiao shi hummed and said, "I listen to you."
Speaking of this, Ning Hai couldn't help but think of Tie Hu and Chun Ni: "Hong Lin is even older than Fang Hui, if it wasn't because of me, Second Sister would probably start to look after him."
Xiao said in relief: "It doesn't matter if the boy is two years late. As long as he gets fame and has a good future, let's make him a close family." Even if a man is thirty years old, as long as he has money and power, he can marry seventeen. An eight-year-old girl with yellow flowers. But this girl didn't tell anyone after she was 20, she was either doing housing for someone or getting married.
Ning Hai hummed and said, "I don't know how Father and the others are doing now?"
Xiao comforted: "Don't worry, Dad and Second Sister will definitely be fine now." Life in the mountains will definitely be difficult, but life will not be in danger.
Ning Hai thought for a while, and felt that he should send someone back to Anshan to tell Tie Hu and Chun Ni the news about him. In this way, Tiehu and Chunni would not be worried about him.
At this time, Tiehu and Chunni's family had been on the mountain for more than three months. After such a long time, Hongbo, his wife and their two children have adapted to life in the mountains.
Chunni said to Tiehu today: "Father, I want to go down the mountain to get some vegetable seeds." Cai Datou and the others hid enough food for them for two years in the cave, oil, salt and quilts. . It's just a big man, he didn't think carefully, and he didn't prepare for vegetables.
When going up the mountain, Chunni brought some back. They were planted after going up the mountain, but most of them were ruined by wild animals. Therefore, no seed was left.
Tie Hu nodded and said, "Then you should be careful."
This time, Chunni, his wife and Cai Datou Dashu all went down the mountain. Not only vegetables, but also winter clothes and food.
Also at night, Chunni sneaked back to her home. After making sure that there was no one else in the house, they went out with big bags and small bags. After going back and forth three times and taking all the things she wanted, Chunni went to Ershui's house.
This time Chunni didn't expect that the villagers would know what they were taking. The people in the village didn't know it was her, they just thought that other people in the village came to her house to steal things. This also led to many people going to her house at night to steal things.
When Ershui saw Chunni, he told her the good news: "People from the government didn't come again, the patriarch resisted the pressure and didn't expel you from the clan."
The clan is the root of a person, and if the clan is eliminated, it is like duckweed without roots. Knowing that they have not been expelled, Chunni is in a good mood.
The two were talking, when they saw Ershui's daughter-in-law also come out of the house.
As soon as Er Shui saw his wife, he immediately scolded, "What are you doing out here? Go back quickly."
Chunni scolded: "Ershui, what are you doing? I haven't seen Afeng for a long time, and I just want to talk to her!" He and Ershui's daughter-in-law, Lin, get along like sisters. Therefore, she was not called Aunt according to her seniority, but was called Xingming directly.
Lin glared at Ershui and said, "There are some things that can be hidden from the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day. Chunni will know about these things sooner or later."
Er Shui knew something bad was going to happen as soon as he heard it: "What nonsense are you talking about here, you stinky bitch, go back to sleep quickly." He thought he could hide this matter, even if Tie Hu and Chun Ni knew about it, it would not help.
Chunni's face changed when she heard that, she took Lin's hand and said, "Ah Feng, tell me what happened?" When she said this, her voice changed.
Lin took Chunni's hand and said, "Your elder sister Chunxiang is gone."
These words were like thunderbolts hitting Chunni, making her dizzy for a while: "My eldest sister has always been in good health, why is she gone?" The two sisters have always been in good health.
Lin said: "It is said that Chunxiang hanged herself because she had troubled Shao Lili and the children."
Chunni's teeth were chattering: "Eldest sister, why is she so stupid! She is a married woman, she will cut off relations with us directly, and the government will not hold her accountable."
Lin said: "As soon as the news spread that Kuizi became a traitor, the Shao family let go and severed ties with the Tie family. Shao Lili is still a well-known Shao official in the county." So Chunxiang was afraid of implicating Shao Li Ji and Cheng Honger hanged themselves, and it is completely nonsense for Lin to say.
Chunni quickly came to her senses and said, "Afeng, you mean that my elder sister didn't hang herself, but was killed by the Shao family?"
Lin groaned and said, "Yes, I suspect that Chunxiang did not commit suicide, but was killed by the Shao family." And this is why she insisted on telling Chunni.
Er Shui scolded: "No evidence, no evidence, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin retorted: "Chenghong didn't get married, and Lihua didn't say anything about him. I don't believe Chunxiang would do something stupid." It's impossible for a mother to leave her two unmarried children behind.
Looking at Chunni with a gloomy face, Ershui said: "Chunni, these are all her guesses without real evidence. Shao Lili has been so kind to Chunxiang all these years, and Chunxiang has given birth to six children for him. I don't think so. I believe he will harm Chunxiang."
Chunni gritted her teeth and said, "I'll definitely investigate this matter." If Chunxiang committed suicide, that's fine, but if she was killed by the Shao family, she must make these people pay for their lives.
