Tie Kui Extra Story (91)
In early November, the Ning family began to get busy with Ning Zhan's marriage.
Xiao Shi was overjoyed to hear that Ning Hai was back. As soon as he walked out of the yard, he looked at Ning Hai who was walking towards him.
Seeing his tired expression, Xiao said with concern: "Master, you should rest first! I will talk to you about the family affairs later."
After all, I am getting older, I think that when I was young, I was full of energy without sleeping for three days and three nights. But after driving for more than ten days, I feel very tired.
Seeing Ning Hai nodding, Xiao hurriedly asked someone to fetch hot water to bathe Ning Hai.
After Ruyi finished her work and went to the main courtyard, she heard that Ning Hai had already fallen asleep.
Ruyi said: "Mom, you can spend good time with Dad! Ah Zhan and I can take care of the family affairs." Ning Zhan is on her wedding leave, and now he is running outside.
After sleeping until dark, Ning Hai woke up. As I get older, I feel less than before.
When having breakfast the next day, Ning Zhan felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Ning Hai. His father is much older than two years ago.
After breakfast, Ning Zhan followed Ning Hai to the study. There were only father and son in the room, and Ning Zhan didn't have so many scruples in speaking: "Father, I heard mother said that your whole body hurts when the weather changes."
Ning Hai smiled and said: "Your mother is just worrying, it's just a small problem, it's fine."
Ning Zhan was silent for a while and said, "Father, the emperor is afraid that he will abdicate in the past two years. Father, the so-called emperor and courtiers. When the emperor retires, you will also retire!"
Ning Hai was startled: "Who told you that the emperor will abdicate in the next two years?" Zen, this is not a trivial matter. Once this happened, the government and the public would definitely be shocked.
Because he grew up beside Yunqing and Yuxi, and has a very close relationship with Qiyou and others. He knows things that are very secret to outsiders.
Ning Zhan said: "The emperor wanted to abdicate a long time ago, but the empress wanted the prince to practice for a few more years, so she stopped him. But now that the prince has started to supervise the country, I guess the emperor will retire in three years at most."
Ning Hai said in a low voice: "The emperor is in the prime of his life, and he wants to abdicate?" You must know that the emperor is only in his early fifties, and his body has always been healthy.
Ning Zhan smiled and said: "The emperor has always disliked dealing with government affairs, and the empress began to focus on running a girls' school two years ago. Therefore, he has long wanted to abdicate and hide." The other emperors are in their late teens Still clinging to power,
Today's Holy Majesty is not a person who likes power.
Ning Haidao: "If I step back, what will you brothers do?" If the tea is cold, if he steps back, the careers of his two sons will not be so smooth in the future.
Ning Zhan said again: "Father, you have stayed in Tongcheng for so many years. Even if you leave, those generals will take care of you. As for me, father doesn't need to worry. During those years when I was in the palace, the prince was right I have been taking Buddha photos a lot. When the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely use me again."
Ning Hai hesitated for a while and said, "Let me think about it."
"Father, if I want to trade your body for a smooth official career, I would rather not be an official. Father, I believe that my elder brother thinks the same as me." For Ning Zhan, power is far less important than Ning Hai's body.
As we grow older, our bodies are indeed not as good as they used to be. However, he felt that he could serve the court again. But his son is very happy to be filial to Ning Hai, and a smile can't help but appear on his face: "I will think about it carefully."
Ning Zhan also knew that as a border city guard, he could not retreat if he wanted to. For this matter, the empress and the prince must be greeted in advance. But Ning Hai let go, and he felt at ease.
Two days later, Chunni and his wife came with Tiehu. The last time he was sick, Tiehu didn't come to Ruhui's wedding. This time Ning Zhan got married, no matter what he said, he would come.
Ruyi came over to see Chunni, and said unexpectedly: I haven't seen you for two years, but my aunt is getting younger. "
Chunni laughed when she heard this, "I haven't seen you for two years, your mouth is sweeter than before."
"It's not that Ruyi's mouth is sweet, but that your complexion is indeed better than before." As for the reason, Xiao Shi knew it. In Tongcheng, Honglin and his wife were very filial. Chunni only needs to take care of the children, and she doesn't have to work in the fields, so she has nothing to worry about. It's not like in my hometown, where I have to go to the fields, and I have to worry about Duan Honglang's messy things every day.
In fact, not only Xiao Shi told Ruyi, but also many people at home said this.
Going back at night, Chunni and Duan Dongzi said: "After attending Ah Zhan's wedding, we will go to Tongcheng after we send dad back." Of course, Tiehu must be sent back first.
Duan Dongzi looked at Chuni with some surprise.
Chun Ni smiled wryly and said, "It's better to go to Tongcheng, it's clean." When the couple returned to their hometown, Duan Honglang didn't know they were back at first. When I knew it, I came to look for her every day, and every time I cried poor, saying how hard life was. The first two times Chunni was too nervous to give it, but the third time she relented and gave Duan Honglang twenty taels of silver. After giving it, she regretted it again.
"It's good if you can figure it out. In fact, without the two of us, the second child's family wouldn't freeze to death or starve to death." In the past two years in Tongcheng, whenever Honglin and the Yu family have good things, they will stick to them first old married couple. Hongbo and Mrs. Fu not only sent food and supplies to Tongcheng every now and then, but also gave the old couple one hundred taels of silver for pocket expenses every year.
Compared with the eldest son and the youngest son, Duan Dongzi hated Duan Honglang even more. Duan Honglang only knew about asking for money, but he never cared about our husband and wife, let alone did anything for them.
Chun Ni said: "I wanted to stay at home because my father was so old. I just wanted to stay by my side and take care of him."
After hearing this, Duan Dongzi hurriedly said: "We stayed in our hometown to cause trouble for the old man. After going to Tongcheng, the house is clean and clean, and my father can spend his old age in peace." Tie Hu hated Duan Honglang very much, and it was because of Chunni For the sake of it, I endured it all the time, otherwise I would never let him in.
Chunni was ashamed when she heard this.
The day before the wedding, Zeng Chenfu's dowry was brought over. Ruhui looked at the furniture, frowned and said, "Why are all these furniture made of rosewood?" It would be fine if only some of the furniture was made of rosewood, but it would be unreasonable to use rosewood for all of them.
Xiao said with a smile: "Do you think huanghuali wood is so easy to find? The huanghuali wood used in the bed and wardrobe of the two of you sisters was found by your father after a lot of effort." Ruyi married Ruhui, The bed, dresser and wardrobe are made of huanghuali wood. Other furniture is also made of rosewood and other furniture.
Ruhui said: "Grandpa Zeng is the governor of Hunan, how could he not get some good wood."
Xiao poked Ruhui's forehead and said: "You think everyone is like our family, there are only two girls. Chen Fu's generation has eleven girls, if she uses yellow rosewood for furniture, the following If the ten girls in the house use poor materials, they will not be able to justify it.” Mr. Zeng has five sons and six daughters. In the next generation, the population will naturally increase.
Hearing this, Ruhui couldn't help muttering: "The Zeng family didn't split up. There are so many people living together, they must be fighting like black corns." But the sister-in-law was not overwhelmed by the younger sister, He was also admitted to Wenhua Hall in a safe place. It can be seen that he is not only outstanding in character and appearance, but also in mental means.
Thinking of this, Ruhui stopped picking faults. As long as Zeng Chenfu is fine, everything else is fine. On the contrary, if the person is good, no amount of dowry will do.
On the day of getting married, Ning Zhan came early.
Ruhui was surprised when she saw Ning Zhan: "Ah Zhan, you don't have dark circles? Did you not suffer from insomnia last night?"
Ning Zhan was speechless: "Why did I suffer from insomnia last night?" As soon as he touched the bed last night, he fell asleep.
During this period of time, running in and out for his marriage, he was almost exhausted and paralyzed. Every time I lie in bed, I fall asleep quickly.
Ru Hui said with a smile, "You are better than me." She remembered that the night before she got married, she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep. Then as soon as he closed his eyes, he was dragged up to take a shower and change clothes.
Not long after the welcoming team went out, it began to rain lightly.
Looking at the gray sky, Mrs. Xiao said worriedly, "Don't let it rain heavily." The light rain is nothing, the heavy rain must not drench all the people welcoming the relatives.
Ruhui said: "Mother, I won't. That will be a good day for Qin Tian to supervise."
Qin Tian supervised the calculation, and there would be problems. Xiao's words turned around in his heart twice, because he felt that it was unlucky and did not say it.
Although the weather was not very good, almost all the invited guests came.
Because there are only 40 tables for the prince's marriage, no wedding banquet held by any family in the capital exceeds this number. Thirty tables for the Ning family's wedding banquet, not too many, but not too small.
Chunni couldn't bear it anymore, and when she saw Ruhui, she asked, "Hui'er, will the Empress come to have a wedding banquet today?"
Ruhui shook her head and said, "I don't know about that either. However, the empress doesn't like excitement, so she probably wouldn't come to have a wedding banquet." Anyway, she had never heard of Yuxi going to any house for a wedding banquet. Even if the second master of the South Korean government got married, he didn't go.
Chunni was very disappointed.
Ruhui smiled and said, "Auntie, do you want to see the empress?"
Chun Ni hummed and said, "I've heard a lot of stories about the Empress Empress, so I just want to meet her!"
"It's hard to meet the empress. I only met three times when I grew up. But the empress teaches in Wenhua Hall, and the younger siblings are female students in Wenhua hall, and they are very popular with the empress. If you want to know about the empress You can ask her about it." Ruhui didn't like studying, so she didn't go to Wenhuatang at first. Unexpectedly, in just ten years, Wenhua Hall has become a school that all women in the world want to enter.
Thinking of her fairy-like niece and daughter-in-law, Chun Ni smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Ah Zhan is really lucky to have married such a beautiful and talented daughter-in-law."
However, Ruhui said: "It should be that the younger siblings are lucky to be able to marry Ah Zhan." Her family, Ah Zhan, is a good-natured and capable person, and clean. Marrying him is like soaking in a honeypot.
Chun Ni smiled: "It is fate and a blessing that these two children can become husband and wife."
Just as he was talking, he heard outside that His Royal Highness and the Fourth Prince had come.
Chunni was very disappointed to hear that the empress did not come. The queen didn't come to drink Ning Zhan's wedding wine, and she would never see the empress in this life.
