Tie Kui Extra Story (Ninety-Three)
Ning Hai returned to Tongcheng on the fifth day after Ning Zhan got married.
When he was leaving, Ning Zhan said worriedly: "Father, you must take care of your health!" He really wished that Ning Hai could retire now and stay at home to take care of his health.
Ning Hai smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." It means that when the weather changes, the old injury will recur and the pain will be unbearable, but at other times the body will be fine.
There is no large-scale war in Tongcheng now, so there is no need for him to go to the battlefield. He only needs to sit in the rear, and with his current physical condition, he can still take on this important task. If not, he would have taken the book by himself.
In the next half month, Ning Zhan took Zeng Chenfu out twice. At other times, the young couple just get bored in the yard.
Xiao Shi was very happy when he saw their sweetness. The relationship between husband and wife is good, so she can embrace her grandson earlier.
Ning Zhan was married for a month, and he started to ask for leave half a month before the marriage. So after half a month's leave after marriage, he will return to the military camp.
Zeng Chenfu was very disappointed.
Ning Zhan saw that she was not in a good mood, and said with a smile, "In the next year, I will be transferred to the Imperial Forest Army, and I will be able to go home every day." Now that you have a family, it can no longer be like before. Stayed at home for two days.
Zeng Chenfu was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Why should I lie to you?" After finishing speaking, Ning Zhan said: "At the beginning of the year, I begged the empress, and hoped that I could be transferred to the Imperial Forest Army after marriage. The empress agreed to my request."
Zeng Chenfu recalled that Yu Xi had arranged their marriage, and said with a smile, "The empress really cares about you." It is a good thing for them that the empress cares about her husband.
"Well, the empress treats me like a younger brother." According to seniority, Ning Zhan should call Yuxi a cousin.
Thinking of her husband's seniority, Zeng Chenfu asked with a smile, "Eldest Princess and Second Prince, have you ever called your uncle?"
"We all know each other as equals." If you dare to put on airs of an elder, the Fourth Prince will definitely tease him.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, every household has also begun to prepare for the New Year. Buying goods for the New Year, but also giving gifts to relatives and friends. Dealing with trivial matters in the mansion is tiring enough.
Xiao thought that Zeng Chenfu was also idle, so she took her with her to do housework. Originally wanted to teach her, but within a few days Zeng Chenfu became familiar with the rules and regulations of the mansion, and she took care of the matters at hand properly.
Xiao Shi is not a person who likes to exercise power, seeing this situation, he entrusted all the general affairs to her.
Zeng Chenfu felt a little emotional, her grandmother hadn't delegated power yet. Because of this, several aunts always make trouble for his mother in fighting for the housekeeping rights.
Mrs. Zeng also suffered a lot, so she was very satisfied with the Ning family's marriage. Small population means less right and wrong. Unlike her, she still has to deal with several difficult sisters-in-law.
Although Xiao Shi didn't take care of the house anymore, he wasn't idle either. She took Tiehu and Chunni to visit various scenic spots in the capital, and also took the three to eat various snacks in the capital.
Chunni ate stinky tofu today, and said with a smile, "I ate it once in Tongcheng, and it wasn't as good as here."
Xiao said with a smile: "It's my first time here too. It was Ah Zhan who told me that the stinky tofu here is unique in the capital."
Tie Hu also liked it very much. After eating the last piece of stinky tofu in the bowl, he said, "Let's eat it tomorrow."
"Father, I'll take you to wash the mutton pot tomorrow. Ah Zhan said that the mutton pot in that shop is so delicious that I wish I could swallow my tongue." Recommended by Cham.
Xiao Shi is not a person who puts much emphasis on appetite, and he seldom ate out in the past. However, it is rare for Tie Hu to stay in the capital, so he cannot always be allowed to stay at home. Come out for a walk and have a look, and eat some delicious food to make the elderly happy.
Tie Hu smiled and said: "Okay." Originally, he thought that staying in the capital for the New Year meant staying at home every day. But he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so filial and took him around.
Looking at the scenery that he has never seen before and eating the delicious food he has never eaten, Tiehu is in a very good mood, and he is happy all day long.
Zeng Chenfu was doing housework when she heard the porter report that the second girl had come.
Thinking of what Ning Zhan had said to her, a stern look flashed across Zeng Chenfu's face.
When Zeng Miaojia entered the room, she looked at the various antique jade pieces displayed in the Duobao Pavilion, and a look of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She asked herself that she was not inferior to Zeng Chenfu in everything, but the other party was so lucky to marry the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion, but she wanted to pick up a man Zeng Chenfu didn't want. Thinking of this, she hated Zeng Chenfu even more.
Master Zeng really likes his classmate's son, Master Pang's family. Zeng Chenfu failed and changed to his second daughter, Zeng Miaojia.
Mr. Zeng is the governor, and the other party wants to cling to this relative. So even if Zeng Miaojia was a concubine, the other party would be happy.
Seeing Zeng Chenfu's displeasure, Zeng Miaojia asked with a smile, "Eldest sister, I came to see you, why don't you seem very happy?"
Zeng Chenfu said with a grim expression: "I didn't even know to send a post in advance when I came to the door. The rules you learned from the mother have all been learned in the stomach of a dog?"
In the past, Zeng Miaojia wanted to be strong at home, and had to compete with her in everything. Because of the difference in status, she didn't bother to argue with him. But she didn't expect Zeng Miaojia to be so shameless that she wanted to seduce her brother-in-law.
Zeng Miaojia was taken aback for a moment, and turned to aggrieved: "Eldest sister, I miss you too much, so I forgot it for a while."
Zeng Chenfu hated this pretentious appearance the most, and said in a cold voice: "What is your plan in mind, pretend that I don't know? Put away your dirty thoughts, and stay at home to get married honestly. Otherwise, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life .”
Yu Xi thought very carefully about choosing a wife for Ning Zhan. Ning Zhan is the eldest son and future heir of Anyang Bofu. His wife must not be too submissive. Too docile, as the mistress of the house, she can't restrain the servants in the mansion.
Zeng Miaojia's heart skipped a beat, but soon she said with an aggrieved face: "Sister, what did I do wrong to let you slander me like this?"
After saying this, the tears couldn't help falling down.
"Shuangqiao, see off." Shuangqiao is Ning Zhan's personal maid, and she is already engaged to Zhong Shantong's youngest son. So Zeng Chenfu took it for her own use and became her right-hand man.
Although Shuangqiao didn't know why Zeng Chenfu said that, but there must be a reason for it. Moreover, she also didn't like Zeng Miaojia's hypocrisy: "Second girl, please go!"
Zeng Miaojia cried out of Uncle Anyang's mansion, but unfortunately met Xiao Shi, Tie Hu and others who came back at the door.
Xiao had met Zeng Miaojia before, and seeing her crying like a tearful person, she couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Who bullied you?"
Zeng Miaojia wiped away her tears and said, "No one bullied me. It's my fault. I should have sent the post before I came to the door."
Xiao couldn't help but frowned. Did her daughter-in-law make too much of a fuss?
Tiehu was displeased when he saw Zeng Miaojia, who was gorgeous and alluring, and immediately said: "Mother Azhan, what are you doing to stop him in this cold weather, let him go back earlier!"
Zeng Miaojia wanted to cry with Xiao Shi again, but Tiehu ruined it unexpectedly.
After entering the door, Tie Hu said: "She did something wrong, so what if the granddaughter-in-law said something to her as the eldest sister? Don't you have to go out crying all the way? I don't know, I thought the granddaughter-in-law and our Ning family bullied her! "
Xiao Shi really didn't think so much.
Tie Hu said: "Mother Ah Zhan, don't talk to her in the future, this girl looks like she has a lot of thoughts and evil intentions."
Chun Ni also echoed, "A Ling, it's hard for an honest official to break up housework. Don't meddle in the affairs of your granddaughter-in-law's natal family." After all, it's the Zeng family's affairs, so it's annoying to meddle in.
Xiao Shi nodded.
Hearing Zeng Miaojia go out crying, she was also seen by Xiao's group. Zeng Chenfu was so angry that she felt that she was too kind.
During dinner, Zeng Chenfu was still thinking about how to explain today's events to Xiao Shi. As a result, Xiao didn't ask at all.
After talking with Xiao for a long time, Zeng Chenfu said to her: "Mother, I want to go back to my mother's house tomorrow."
Xiao didn't even ask her what she was doing back home, but nodded and said, "Ah Zhan isn't here, or let Azhan go back with you."
"No, I'll be back soon." If it wasn't for something, she wouldn't have made this trip.
If it weren't for what Ning Zhan said, at most she would ask Mrs. Zeng to bring Zeng Miaojia under her control. But now it is different, she is afraid that Zeng Miaojia will always run to Uncle Anyang's mansion. Ning Zhan had no distracting thoughts in his mind, and didn't think about that dirty place. But there are many good people in the mansion, Zeng Miaojia will definitely be noticed if she always runs to Uncle Anyang's mansion. At that time, not only the Zeng family's reputation will be damaged, but she will also lose face.
Zeng Chenfu went back to her natal home and told Mrs. Zeng about it; "Mother, you don't know, when Ah Zhan told me this, I wished I could drill a hole in the ground."
Mrs. Zeng was so angry that she said, "I know she has a high spirit and looks down on that child of the Pang family. But I never thought that she would be so shameless that she would set her sights on Ah Zhan."
Zeng Chenfu said: "Mother, you can send her back to Dad! If nothing happens, then it will be your fault."
Because after Zeng Chenfu's eldest brother won the exam, the two brothers went to Beijing to study. In Mrs. Zeng's heart, a husband is not as important as a son. Therefore, he stayed in the capital. Zeng Miaojia had been in office with Master Zeng before, and Zeng Chenfu arrived in the capital just after her wedding.
Mrs. Zeng said: "Send them all to your father." In the past, the whole family lived together, and she fought with a few sisters-in-law; It was only when she followed Zeng Chenfu to Beijing that she lived a comfortable life.
Madam Zeng sent back the two aunts and Zeng Miaojia's siblings so that Mr. Zeng could not celebrate the new year alone.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ning Zhan returned to the capital.
After arriving home, Shuangshou handed him a letter: "My lord, this is from Ah Qiang who is next to my uncle."
After reading the letter, Ning Zhan sneered and said, "I thought he was dead a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to be alive."
Shuangshou asked, "Master, since Tie Fangjia is still alive, what should we do?"
"Don't tell anyone about this." He himself is not afraid of Tie Fangjia, but now that he is married, he will have children soon. That lunatic can't do anything, and his wife and children will be in danger if he is left behind. So Tie Fangjia survived, he could not eat or sleep.
