Tie Kui Extra Story (Fifty-Seven)
Chunxiang's topic was a bit heavy, and Ning Hai skipped over her and talked about Hongbo: "Hongbo wants to find a job in the Yamen, is that what you and the second sister think, or is it his own idea?"
Tie Hu smiled and said: "I didn't know about this at all before. I only found out after reading your letter. However, it is a good thing for a child to know that it is good to make progress. It is not good to always stay in this village." I can't save a good family business even if I die. This point can be seen just by looking at Kuizi.
Ning Hai nodded, and asked with a smile: "What job did Hongbo get?"
Hearing that Hongbo had found the position of the master book, Ning Hai also had a smile on his face: "It seems that Hongbo is lucky." One radish and one pit, if this position is arranged, there will be no Hongbo's share .
Tie Hu also knew that the chief secretary was the third in command in the county: "I'm afraid that if he doesn't do well, he will lose your face."
"If he doesn't do well, the imperial court will directly dismiss him from his job. But if he does well, he may become a magistrate or even a county magistrate in the future." The key is to do it with heart, otherwise, do the current job conscientiously. up.
Tiehu's eyes lit up instantly. He thought that Hongbo, the master book, was at its peak.
Seeing him like this, Ning Hai said, "However, Hongbo is not an imperial examination to become an official. No matter how good you are, you can only reach the sixth rank. No matter how high you are, you will not be able to go up." However, the sixth rank is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Tie Hu smiled and said: "I am already satisfied to be the chief bookkeeper. For the rest, let it be!" I am afraid that the expectations are too high, and the disappointment will be even greater. The county magistrate or something depends on Hongbo's ability.
Ning Hai said that on purpose, and also wanted to make Tie Hu happy. But Tiehu's mentality is very good.
Speaking of Hongbo, Honglin was also mentioned naturally. Tie Hu said worriedly: "Kuizi, we have lost news of Honglin since your accident. Kuizi, when you take down Shengjing, you must help find Honglin."
Yan Wushuang didn't even bother to catch Tiehu, let alone Honglin, his nephew.
Ning Hai smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, Honglin has been very clever since he was a child, and he has never said anything about his relationship with me. I believe that he will be fine. I believe that after Shengjing is taken down, he will I'll be back soon." Instead of trying to find him, let him come back by himself.
Tiehu nodded.
Seeing Tiehu's sleepy face, Ning Hai said: "Father, if you have anything to say, talk slowly tonight, you should rest first!"
Tiehu is used to taking a nap,
It's time to get sleepy. He didn't try to be brave, and went to bed after listening to Ning Hai's words.
Seeing Ning Hai coming out of the room, Chunni said, "Kuizi, how have you been these past few years?"
"There were a few dangerous times in the middle, but fortunately, they were saved." Looking back on the circumstances of these years, Ning Hai feels that he is very lucky to have survived until now.
"These years have been really difficult for you." After thinking about it, Tie Kui has had a hard time these years.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's over. From now on, you can live in peace."
Chunni wanted to talk about Hong Lang, but she didn't know where to start. After all, what Hong Lang did was really not human affairs.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "Second Sister, is there anything we can't talk about between siblings? If there's anything you need to do, just talk about it! As long as I can do it, I'll help you."
Rubbing her hands together, Chunni said: "It's Hong Lang's business. My father severed ties with the Tie family because of Hong Lang's words to protect himself. My father is very angry about this, and he still hasn't let Hong Lang in."
Ning Hai frowned after hearing this, and said: "The situation was special at that time, Hong Lang did this to protect himself and his wife and children. Second sister, Father is not such an unreasonable person. Father did not let Hong Lang in, it should be Is there any other reason?" He has been with Tiehu for ten years and knows his temperament very well.
Chunni knew that she couldn't hide it from Ning Hai even if she wanted to, so she told about Hong Lang's affair with Webster. It was also because it was too embarrassing, I never told Ning Hai about these things. As for Cai Datou and Ah Shao, it's hard to talk about it because of the housework.
After Ning Hai heard this, there was not even a trace of fluctuation on his face: "Second sister, use the trick of unmarried pregnancy to force the elders. It is unfilial if you say it small, and it is bad character if you say it big." For a woman, she used this trick. The method of indiscriminate use, if there is a big profit in the future, you still have to sell your brothers and family members. It is estimated that Dad is also worried about this, so he is not willing to let him in.
Chunni looked a little stiff.
Ning Hai sighed and said: "Second sister, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let this matter go with the flow!" Hong Lang has already grown crooked, and there is no possibility of getting straight at this age.
Chunni said with red eyes: "But he is the flesh that fell from me after all, how can he be so old and dead." Although what Hong Lang did made her feel a little chilled, as a parent, it is impossible to really abandon the child in spite of.
Ning Hai chuckled lightly and said: "Father just doesn't allow him to enter the gate of Tie's house, and he didn't say that you and your husband and wife are not allowed to visit him. If he is not doing well, it's okay to make up for it secretly. But I'm afraid that not only will he not appreciate you, but instead will hate you."
Chunni was silent for a while and then said: "Children are all debts, just fulfill my responsibilities as parents."
Ning Hai said: "You brought him up, married him, had children, and set up an estate. Second sister, you have fulfilled your responsibilities to him." It was supposed to be the time for children to repay their parents' kindness, but with Duan Honglang's temperament, he was expected to It is better for him to be filial to Chunni and his wife in the future.
Unable to persuade Ning Hai to intercede, Chunni is weary.
Duan Dongzi looked at her and said, "Chunni, don't think too much about it. Just let nature take its course!"
"Easy to say, can you let go?"
Duan Dongzi smiled wryly and said: "So what if you can't let go? He's not a child, so he can just be beaten. Chunni, I actually think what Dad said is right. We have fulfilled our parental responsibilities, and the rest depends on his own good luck." It's gone." There was nothing the husband and wife could do about it.
Stayed at home for one night, and went back to Ninghai the next day when it was dark.
Tiehu said: "Kuizi, Hongbo is in the county seat, go and find him." Hongbo was so young, and he had never worked in a yamen. Let Ning Hai go to him, one is to let Ning Hai deter other people from bullying Hongbo; second, he hopes that Ning Hai can teach Hongbo.
It has to be said that Hongbo, the eldest grandson Tiehu, really took a lot of thought. But this is also normal, no matter which family you are in, you have high hopes for your eldest grandson. What's more, Hongbo has always been very filial.
Ning Hai naturally knew what Tie Hu meant: "Alright, I'll turn to see Hongbo."
When Shao Lili heard that Ning Hai was back, he didn't dare to go to Tie's house to look for him, and waited on the road before dawn. When Ning Hai returns to the barracks, he must pass by here.
Seeing that Shao Lili was blocking the way, Ning Hai didn't get off his horse, and just looked down at Shao Lili.
Shao Chenghong cautiously called his uncle.
Ning Hai said coldly: "The eldest sister is gone, our Tie family has severed ties with your Shao family."
Shao Lili knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Kuizi, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by lard and lost my mind by that woman..." Although there was still some money in hand, but Don't dare to use it indiscriminately. I am afraid that the property will not come back, and I will live on this little money in the future.
Ning Hai sneered and said, "Shao Lili, my eldest sister helped you with the dowry when you bought the house. Later, I gave you a chance to ask you to buy medicinal materials. Since you don't have enough money, my eldest sister sold her dowry to raise money. If it’s not enough, go back to your natal family to borrow money. But what about you? How did you repay her? When the family has money, I took your mean mother over and let my eldest sister see your mother’s face every day. You look old, but you are afraid of losing my backer, so you secretly find a young and beautiful one. When I lose power, turn around and take your concubine back home."
After a pause, Ning Hai sneered and said, "My father asked me to kill you to avenge my elder sister, but I didn't agree. Shao Lili, I want to see how you can live without my elder sister."
Shao Lili cried with a lot of tears and snot: "Kuizi, I'm sorry for your eldest sister, I deserve death. But the child is innocent, Cheng Wen and the younger sister are still so young. And your eldest sister loved them the most when she was alive. I'm dead. Kuizi, please help me one last time for the sake of the child!"
Hai Wenyan smiled, and that smile was full of sarcasm: "Whether they live or die, it has nothing to do with me." When Chunxiang died, he had nothing to do with the Shao family at all.
Shao Chenghong and Shao Xiaomei, who were originally hopeful, suddenly turned pale.
Ning Hai didn't look at them again, and swung his whip on the horse's ass: "Drive..."
A group of people disappeared from Shao Lili's sight in a blink of an eye.
Shao Chenghong showed panic: "Father, what should we do if uncle doesn't help us?" He remembered that when he was young, Tie Kui always gave them things, everything for food and play. But I didn't expect that now I don't talk about affection at all. If his mother had been there, his uncle would definitely not turn his back on him. And he is still the young master of a rich family.
If Shao Lili had a way, he wouldn't sit still, thinking about begging Tie Kui's forgiveness.
When Ning Hai arrived at the county seat, he saw Hong Bo who was busy. In fact, he got the news last night that Ning Hai was back, but now that the new dynasty has just been built and the weather has plummeted, he has a lot of things to deal with, so he really can't leave.
"Uncle, why are you here?" After speaking, Hong Bo hurried up to meet him.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "I'm going back to the barracks, so I turned around to see you. How's it going? Are you still used to it?"
Hong Bo said honestly: "I don't know many things. Fortunately, I asked Uncle Chen for help. If you don't understand, ask him for advice."
After finishing speaking, Hongbo asked Cai Datou to call someone. Soon, a thin old man with white hair came over.
Hearing Hong Bo's introduction, Old Man Chen quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ning Hai: "I have seen Uncle."
When Hong Bo came to invite him that day, he also knew that he had Ning Hai, an uncle who was an earl, so he let him be his assistant. With Uncle Anyang as his great backer, as long as Hongbo doesn't make any big mistakes, he can stay in this position until he grows old.
