Tie Kui Extra Story (86)
Duan Honglang and Webster naturally didn't want to go back to the countryside, so Duan Dongzi said: "If you don't go back to the countryside, we'll buy you a field and build a house. Or you can stay in the county and don't come to us if you need anything. "
Webster's abacus was clattering, thinking that he would go back to the countryside to get the house and fields first, and then return to the county seat.
Seeing that they agreed, Duan Dongzi quickly bought them eight acres of land and two acres of land in Tiejia Village, and then built six earth embryo houses for them.
Duan Dongzi gave Duan Honglang twenty taels of silver to settle down, and Duan Dongzi said: "This is the last time we will give you money. Once it is used up, there will be no more."
I heard this too much, and the husband and wife didn't take it to heart. When they have no money to eat and beg to come to the door, can the two elders really watch them starve?
After a month, the family spent more than half of the twenty taels of silver, and Webster asked Duan Honglang to ask Chunni for the money.
Over the years, Duan Honglang was used to asking Chunni for money, and he didn't feel any embarrassment. Hearing that Webster said that the family had no money, he went to the county seat.
He also fiddled with it on purpose to make himself look particularly pitiful. When I arrived at Hongbo's house, I heard Mrs. Fu say that Duan Dongzi and Chunni had gone to Tongcheng, and I felt like a thunderbolt.
"What did you say? Father and mother went to Tongcheng? What did they go to Tongcheng for?" If they went to Tongcheng, who would they ask for money in the future?
Mrs. Fu said with a half-smile, "Honglin's wife is pregnant again, and my parents are going to help take care of the child."
This is of course an excuse. Tiehu knows Duan Honglang's temperament well, he will not be satisfied even if he is given the land, and will find various excuses to ask Chunni for money in the future. With Chunni's temperament, nine times out of ten she would soften her heart and ask Hongbo for money. No matter how filial Hongbo is, asking Chunni to do this will definitely affect the relationship between mother and child.
So Tiehu came up with a way to get rid of the bottom line and let Duan Dongzi and Chunni go to Tongcheng. As long as Duan Honglang can't find Chunni, he can no longer suck her blood.
Tie Honglin accepted Tie Huxin and knew the cause and effect. It happened that his wife was pregnant, so he used this as an excuse to ask Chunni to come and help take care of the child.
Chunni was worried about Duan Honglang, but Duan Dongzi decided to go to Tongcheng, so she had no choice but to follow.
Duan Honglang blurted out: "Why do you want parents to go? They won't ask someone to help take care of the children?" Tie Honglin is now a seventh-rank official, so it's no problem to hire a servant.
In fact, letting Chunni take care of the child is just an excuse, and letting her go to Tongcheng is to separate her from Duan Honglang.
Fu said expressionlessly: "You go to Tongcheng and talk to Honglin. I still have something to do, so I won't call you."
After finishing speaking, without even looking at Duan Honglang, she led the maid out of the main room.
To be honest, Duan Dongzi and Chunni set off for Tongcheng, and Fu was relieved. She was really tired of Erfang's endless begging for money. The third child is so far away, and the second child has no way to find it. Their family can finally live a clean life.
Ning Hai knew about the Tie family. But he doesn't care about these things, as long as Tiehu can enjoy his old age in peace. The matter of the juniors, let them go.
On the second day, spring began, and Ruhui was born.
When she heard that she had given birth to a daughter, Mrs. Meng was very disappointed, and went back after instructing Mrs. Wen.
When Ruhui woke up, she saw Meng Ranxi who was lying on the side of the bed, sleeping in the fragrance: "Ms., Mr...."
Meng Ranxi woke up and saw Ruhui hurriedly asked, "Are you hungry? I'll bring you something to eat."
Ruhui shook her head and said, "Where's the child? Hold it for me to see." Ruhui fell asleep after watching the child, so she also knew that she had given birth to a daughter.
Meng Ranxi hurriedly carried the child from the back room.
Looking at the child's red skin, Ruhui smiled lightly and said, "It's really ugly, like a monkey."
Meng Ranxi became unhappy: "The midwife said that the skin is redder now, and the skin will be fairer after opening. Our Yin'er will definitely be a great beauty in the future."
Ru Hui smiled and said, "The child's name has been chosen, Meng Yin'er?" Before the child was born, Meng Ranxi began to think of a name. I thought about the name a lot, but I always felt unsatisfactory, and the name had not been decided before the birth.
"It's called Shiyin, which means versatility. My daughter will definitely be proficient in piano, chess, poetry, painting, poetry, poetry and fu in the future."
Ru Hui said unhappily after hearing this: "If the child likes to learn, I will not stop her. If she doesn't like it, you can't force her to learn."
Meng Ranxi couldn't laugh or cry, it was too serious: "Just as a good sign, I won't force her to learn something she doesn't like."
That's about the same.
Ruhui said: "I just hope that she is safe and healthy, and I don't ask for anything else."
Of course, health and safety are more important than anything else.
Although the Xiao family was not in the capital, all the relatives of the Ning family came for the three rites. Mrs. Dingyuan uncle threw a two-weight ruyi gold nude seed into the water basin on behalf of the Xiao family.
The admission grandma was overjoyed when she saw it, and she kept talking about the good things like the wheels of a cart.
Mrs. Meng San curled her lips, it was just a girl's film, and she still made such a big show.
The third wash was very busy, and the next one was the full moon banquet.
But in the middle of the month, no one mentioned the full moon banquet. Normally, it's time to send invitations to relatives at this time.
Ruhui asked Grandma Meng straightforwardly: "Sister-in-law, have you prepared the guest list for Shiyin's full moon banquet?"
Grandma Meng glanced at Ruhui, and said in surprise: "Didn't the third brother tell you that the family is not going to hold a full moon banquet for Shiyin?"
"What did you say?"
The sharp voice almost deafened Grandma Meng's ears. Grandma Meng saw that Ruhui was about to explode, and said, "Don't think too much, but she didn't hold a full moon banquet either."
Although Mrs. Meng is a bit patriarchal, she never thought about not hosting a full moon banquet for Shi Yin at first. It was Mrs. Meng who said that as the eldest granddaughter, Ke Ke didn't hold a full moon banquet, how could the girls below surpass her.
Ruhui glanced at Grandma Meng, but said nothing. But when she turned around, she had someone call Meng Ranxi over.
As soon as she saw Meng Ranxi, Ruhui scolded, "The old lady didn't hold a full moon banquet for Shiyin, and you agreed? Is that how you are a father? Or, you also despise Shiyin for being a girl, so you just agreed?" Don't want to hold a full moon banquet for her?"
Meng Ranxi was hesitating how to speak to Ruhui: "Auntie said Ke Ke didn't hold a full moon banquet, and said that now that the company's money is tight, it won't hold a full moon banquet for Shiyin. I, I can't object."
Ruhui was furious: "Ke is a child of the eldest family. What does it have to do with my family Shiyin if they don't hold a full moon banquet for the child? As for money being tight, you also believe her nonsense. The child's full moon banquet can only hold more than a dozen tables. One hundred taels of silver is at the top. Meng’s family is so poor that they can’t even afford three hundred taels of silver?” She didn’t mean to set up dozens of tables, and each table required delicacies from mountains and seas, just ordinary meals.
Meng Ranxi smiled wryly and said, "Ruhui, our second wife has been taking food from the public office all these years. Mother took medicine a few years ago, which cost a lot of money, and these were all from the public office, but we didn't take any medicine from the public office. Divide the money." To put it simply, Meng Ranxi lacked confidence and could not refuse Mrs. Meng's unreasonable request.
Ruhui sneered after hearing this and said, "This is even more ridiculous. You and your mother-in-law spent money from your grandparents, and you didn't spend money from their big house." Their small kitchen is also Ruhui's. Have dinner with Meng Ranxi. The maids and mother-in-law in the yard still eat in the big kitchen.
A penny is hard for a hero, Meng Ranxi said: "We won't hold the full moon banquet, but we will have a lively one-year-old banquet."
Ruhui didn't agree: "Our Shiyin is the eldest daughter, if we don't even hold the full moon banquet, outsiders will think we don't like her! Leave this matter alone, I'll take care of it."
Meng Ranxi didn't stop Ruhui, because he didn't want to wrong his daughter, so he said politely, "Ruhui, don't make things big, after all, we still have to live together." There is no way to get along.
Ruhui glanced at Meng Ranxi, smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't make it difficult for you."
She first asked Mai Sui to ask the old lady if she really didn't want to hold a full moon banquet for Shi Yin.
The old lady meant the same thing as Mrs. Meng, since Meng Keke didn't hold a full moon banquet, so did Shi Yin.
Ruhui didn't make a fuss, let alone arguing, she just wrote to Ning Zhan to tell him about it.
Washing the third day, the full moon banquet, and the first birthday banquet, these three days are very important to children. Unless there are special reasons, the first child will be able to handle two tables anyway. The Meng family's refusal to hold a full moon banquet is clearly despising his niece.
When Ning Zhan returned to the capital, he went directly to Mrs. Meng and asked why.
Mrs. Meng naturally couldn't say that the eldest granddaughter didn't have a full moon banquet, so she wouldn't do it for the eldest daughter of the second room, but she just said euphemistically that Meng Ranxi's writing should not be delayed.
Ning Zhan didn't break up with her, but said: "It's easy to handle. I'll book twenty tables at the Fortune Restaurant, and then I'll have them deliver it directly. In this way, you don't need to bother your house, and you only need to delay brother-in-law for a day." .”
If Ning Zhan ordered a banquet and delivered it to the Meng family, the Meng family would lose all face.
Ning Zhan went to visit Ruhui and said, "Second sister, the old lady has promised to hold a full moon banquet for Shiyin." The process is not important, but the result is important.
Ruhui said: "That's good. I was still thinking that if the old lady disagrees, I will use the money to hold a full moon banquet for Shi Yin."
"The Meng family still needs face." After finishing speaking, Ning Zhan said: "Sister, after the brother-in-law will pass the exam, you can release it!" short-sighted. It's better to stay away from such people.
Ruhui shook her head and said: "If the ranking is good, I will definitely stay in the Imperial Academy for three years. However, if I stay in the capital for three years at most, we will release it."
Ning Zhan just said this casually. Whether Meng Ranxi will be released or not is up to Mr. Meng: "Second Sister, don't wrong yourself."
Ruhui smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't wrong myself." During the confinement period, Mrs. Li thought of ways to make various nutrition and breastfeeding. Then, drink a cup of bird's nest every day. But because she didn't take the public account, she used her private house, even if the eldest and third family couldn't see it, they could only say a few sour words behind their backs.
