Tie Kui Extra Story (Ninety-Two)
Zeng Chenfu has two younger brothers, the elder brother is Juren and the younger brother is a scholar. The two brothers are both talented and knowledgeable.
The two brothers originally planned to let Ning Zhan write a poem, but they racked their brains to come up with a lot of couplets for him to match. In the end, knowing that Lan Yanghui was a big assist in the best man team, the two brothers asked Ning Zhan to pass two simple questions symbolically.
There is no way, Lan Yanghui is knowledgeable and talented. Not only the articles are well written, but also the poems and songs are quite accomplished.
Ning Zhan welcomed the bride very smoothly, but when he said goodbye to his parents, he found that Mrs. Zeng was the only one in the seat. At the moment, he was a little puzzled. His father, who was the guard of the border city of Liaodong, asked for leave to preside over the wedding, and his father-in-law was only a sixth-rank official, so he couldn't come to see his daughter off for marriage.
However, this doubt also flashed away. After bidding farewell to Mrs. Zeng, he led the bride back home happily.
When we came, it was raining lightly. When I went back, although the sky was still cloudy, it didn't rain.
After entering the door and worshiping heaven and earth, Ning Zhan took the bride's hand to the bride.
Lifting off the bride's hijab, Xu Chengze, who followed to make trouble in the bridal chamber, lightly thumped Ning Zhan's back, jokingly said, "The bride is so beautiful, you are lucky."
When Zeng Chenfu heard this, she lowered her head shyly.
Ning Zhan touched the back of his head, not to mention how silly he looked.
Qiyou smiled and said: "Let's go, we can't delay the young couple to have a drink."
After the husband and wife had a cup of wine, Ning Zhan held Zeng Chenfu's hand and said, "You have a good rest, I'll be back soon."
Although she knew Xiao Shi was a good-natured person, she felt very uneasy when she suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment. But seeing Ning Zhan's amiable face, Zeng Chenfu relaxed a little: "Okay."
When Ruhui entered the wedding room, she saw the bride sitting on the wedding bed with her back straight.
"Sister and sister, what are you thinking?"
Seeing that it was Ruhui, Zeng Chenfu got up quickly and said, "Second Sister." She had met Ruyi and Ruhui before, and they had a very good impression on her.
Ruhui smiled and said: "I asked the servant girl to fetch water, and you can eat something after cleaning your face."
Zeng Chenfu was a little embarrassed: "Second sister, I'm not hungry." In fact, she was afraid of going to the bathroom on the way, so no one dared to eat too much. This time, I was too hungry.
Ru Hui heard the words: "Why are you not hungry? I also came from this step. You don't have to be cautious. Once you enter this house, you will be a family from now on."
Zeng Chenfu's heart warmed up, and she stopped being coy and thanked Ruhui.
After cleaning her face, Ruhui asked the maid to bring the food. There are four dishes, braised lion head, steamed shrimp with garlic, hot and sour potato shreds, and a cup of milky white fish soup.
Seeing these dishes, Zeng Chenfu smiled. She didn't expect that Ruhui knew that she liked to eat braised lion's head and shrimp. I was a little nervous at first, but now I am completely relaxed.
In fact, how could Ruhui have the time to pay attention to what she likes to eat, it was Ning Zhan who specially told her.
Mrs. Li's cooking skills are very good, and because Zeng Chenfu was hungry, she ate most of the food. Of course, the portion of the dish is not huge.
Friends like Qiyou and Xu Chengze were very helpful in blocking the alcohol, so Ning Zhan was not drunk. When returning to the new house, people have a special spirit.
The next day, when it was daylight, Zeng Chenfu got up to wash up. Ning Zhan asked her to sleep for a while, Zeng Chenfu said: "I'm going to serve tea to my parents later, so I can't be late." If it's late, I'd be ashamed.
The Zeng family has more rules than the Meng family. Every day at dawn, someone had to go to Mrs. Zeng to say hello, and then they could go back to the courtyard for dinner. This, Ning Zhan only found out later.
When the young couple arrived at the main room, Tie Hu, Xiao Shi and other elders all got up. On the contrary, Ruyi and Ruhui haven't come here yet.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Ruyi and Ruhui came over.
Xiao scolded with a smile: "Ah Zhan and Chen Fu have been here for a while, and I'm just waiting for you two."
Ru Hui said with a smile: "Sisters and sisters, don't be surprised. Last night, I chatted too late with my eldest sister, so I overslept." In fact, she always slept until she woke up naturally at her mother's house. Today is special, otherwise she would not have woken up so early.
Neither Ruyi nor Ruhui brought their children, but Zeng Chenfu was ready for the meeting ceremony. No one came, and gifts were sent.
After serving tea, breakfast was served on the table.
Seeing everyone eating together, Zeng Chenfu was a little surprised, but quickly covered up the strangeness.
Zeng Chenfu didn't need anyone to tell her, she stood beside Xiao Shi obediently and prepared vegetables for her.
Ning Zhan wanted Zeng Chenfu to sit down, but just as he was about to speak, Ruhui shook his head at her. When the words came to his lips, Ning Zhan swallowed them back.
Xiao's is not an evil mother-in-law, Zeng Chenfu made a dish for her. Seeing that the dishes on the plate were all her favorites, she immediately said with satisfaction: "Sit down and eat together!"
Zeng Chenfu gave a blessing: "Yes, mother."
After dinner, Ning Zhan took Zeng Chenfu back to his yard to rest.
Tie Hu and Ning Hai couple said: "Ah Zhan is married now, we will go back in these two days."
After hearing the words, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "Father, the weather is so cold now, let's wait for the spring to go back! I will go to Tongcheng in the spring of next year. At that time, we can go together." Such an old age, I can't bear to make a fuss!
Ning Hai said: "Father, it may snow these few days. The road is slippery in snowy weather, and it is dangerous to drive. You should wait until spring begins, and then go back!"
If you want to go back now, you must stay in the county for the New Year. As for Duan Honglang's unfilial son, he will definitely come to ask for money again. In order to live a safe and healthy year, it is better to stay in the capital.
Thinking of this, Duan Dongzi said: "Father, I heard that the New Year is very lively in Beijing. Father, let's see how the people under the emperor's feet celebrate the New Year."
Tie Hu glanced at Duan Dongzi, then nodded and said: "Okay, let's stay in the capital for the New Year!"
Apart from Ning Hai, the Ning family has no other members. So there was no need to visit the clansmen, Zeng Chenfu and Ning Zhan stayed at home to rest that day.
The next day, Ning Zhan accompanied Zeng Chenfu back home with a cart full of gifts.
People who practice martial arts are very sensitive. As soon as Ning Zhan entered the main room, he felt someone staring at him. Staring, not looking at him.
Turning his head, he saw a beautiful girl in purple clothes looking at him with red eyes.
Ning Zhan frowned, but it was not easy to show his face when he came to Yue's house for the first time after marriage. For now, just turn your head.
After meeting everyone, Ning Zhan was taken out by his two brothers-in-law.
Originally thought that the two brother-in-laws warned him to be nice to Chen Fu as he did back then. Unexpectedly, the two uncles kept talking about Lan Yanghui.
It turned out that Lan Yanghui was their idol. Knowing that Ning Zhan and Lan Yanghui are close, the two of them will naturally not miss this opportunity. In this way, you can also get in touch with idols in the future.
In fact, there is nothing strange about it. Scholars have a feeling of admiration for Zhuangyuan Lang.
Mrs. Zeng dismissed two concubines and four concubine children, and dragged Zeng Chenfu into the house.
"In the Ning Mansion for the past two days, how is Mrs. Anyang treating you?" Although I know that Mrs. Anyang has a good temper, many people's attitudes are too kind before marriage, and their faces change after marriage.
A smile appeared on Chen Fu's face: "Mother, my mother-in-law and my two older sisters are very kind to me. My husband is also very considerate."
In fact, seeing the smile on Zeng Chenfu's face, she knew that she was doing well in Ning's house. It's just that as a mother, I don't feel at ease if I don't ask in person.
On the way back, Ning Zhan asked Zeng Chenfu: "Is that purple dress your concubine sister?"
Since he wanted to marry Zeng Chenfu, he naturally had a thorough understanding of the situation of the Zeng family. Mrs. Zeng gave birth to three sons and a daughter. The eldest son died of illness when he was seven years old. Now there are only two sons and a daughter left.
Zeng Chenfu's eldest concubine sister is the prettiest of all the girls in the Zeng family, even Zeng Chenfu is inferior. When her husband accompanied her back home, he noticed this outstanding-looking concubine younger sister, which made Zeng Chenfu's heart tighten.
Zeng Chenfu squeezed the veil tightly, and then said in a natural tone as much as possible: "It's the eldest sister from a concubine. Husband, what's the matter?" Mr. Zeng had three concubines, and these concubines gave birth to him two concubine sons and four concubine daughters . Of course, those who died young were not counted among them.
Ning Zhan frowned and said, "She has been staring at me since I entered the door. It doesn't look like looking at my brother-in-law, but like looking at a piece of fat."
The Ning family used to fight fiercely between wives and concubines, but that was before Ning Zhan came back. After he came back, Xiao's was the only hostess in the Ning family, and there were no other women. And in the northwest, Yunqing only had Yuxi as his wife, and there was no mess in the house. Therefore, Ning Zhan's living environment is relatively simple. He was just tired of the way the third girl of the Zeng family looked at him, and he never expected that the other party would covet him.
In fact, what Hui said before is not wrong. Ning Zhan is a dignified family of the eldest son of the uncle's mansion. He has an outstanding appearance, and he has a bright future as he makes good friends with several princes. That's why so many people want to marry their daughters to him. But he looked at Yunqing and Yuxi's love and affection, and the six Zaozao siblings also loved each other. Affected by this, Ning Zhan wanted to marry a wife who was in love with him and spend the rest of his life together. As for other women, he wouldn't take a second look at them at all, let alone play any tricks.
Zeng Chenfu's face changed slightly, but seeing Ning Zhan's expression of disgust, she felt relieved: "She has liked to fight with me since she was a child, and she must have been jealous of you because you are so good!" Speaking, I didn't even notice that this concubine would stare at her husband.
Ning Zhan asked in disbelief: "She has been arguing with you since she was a child? Why is she arguing with you because she is a concubine?" The families he came into contact with were very clear.
But he didn't even think about it, Ning Zhan only came into contact with wealthy families. These people are right under Yuxi's eyes, how dare they let the common people show up.
There is a saying that family ugliness should not be publicized. If there is no such thing, Zeng Chenfu will definitely cover it up. But now, she doesn't know how to do it: "Because she looks good, my father likes her very much, so she has to be strict in everything. I'm the eldest sister, so I don't want to get too fussy with her."
Ning Zhan said bluntly: "Father-in-law's eyes are not very good, is it? How is she good-looking? She is not as good as you." That appearance is also considered good, and the maids around him are more beautiful than her.
Which woman does not like to be praised by her husband for her beauty. Ning Zhan's words greatly pleased Zeng Chenfu.
